Kimberly Pinkerton, President and CEO of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, has informed the group’s executive board she plans to retire. Pinkerton, in an April 1 letter to the board, said she would remain in the position until a search committee from the board of directors can find a replacement, Chamber Board Chair Aaron Campbell announced in an April 14 news release. “It has been a pleasure to serve throughout my tenure here,” Pinkerton wrote in her retirement letter. “I count myself lucky to have been mentored well and made many friends among you. “From each of you, I have always learned something and tried to become a

better leader for having that guidance and friendship. I wish each of you the best and thank you for letting me be a part of an organization that has worked hard to provide guidance and support for the business of Wabash County. “I will cherish my memories and friendships always.” Pinkerton began her career with the Chamber in February 1998. Early on, she was responsible for coordinating the development of new marketing strategies, team building and program redesign which resulted in a 63 percent revenue increase for key programs and a 110 percent increase in Educational Series attendance. The new gift check program was implemented during her tenure. Pinkerton also was responsible for the

rebirth and transformation of the Leadership Development Wabash County Program, which moved from an everyother-year program to an annual event. Through the program, participants have worked on various community service projects, including the Christmas Spirit Program, Little Libraries, the LaFontaine Park Project and the North Manchester Community Service Organization project. In more recent years, Pinkerton worked in partnership with the Small Business Development Center, the Office of Community and Rural Affairs and the Economic Development Group of Wabash County to create the Entrepreneurial Development Program, which created a venue for training, business plan work and development of new and emerging (continued on page 5)

FAME celebrates Indiana heritage By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com From the Peru Circus to local artists and an appearance by Johnny Appleseed, Wabash County and surrounding area children “artfully” celebrated Indiana at the 10th annual FAME (Foundation of Art and Music in Educaiton) Festival at the Honeywell Center on Saturday, April 16. To celebrate the Indiana bicentennial, the local festival focused its activities, workshops and performances around the theme, “Artfully Celebrating Indiana,” and was officially endorsed by the Indiana Bicentennial Committee as a legacy project, according to Judy Ward, local festival planning committee head.

“We tried to include lots of things about the Indiana culture and things that happen uniquely in Indiana,” Ward told The Paper of Wabash County. “So a lot of what we were doing spotlighted things in Wabash and also in Peru, since we have good involvement from there.” Festivalgoers had opportunities to watch the Miami Nation of Indians perform songs on a tribal drum, enjoy area students’ artwork and craft in the Imaginarium. The festival provides another outlet for students to learn and appreciate art and music outside of school, according to Ward. “We have so many talented students and it’s nice to have them get the opportunity beyond what they get to do at school,” she said. “The arts seem to get

reduced a little bit at the schools with all the stress on the academic math and English and whatever, but art and music both help us become more human as we can express our emotions and get in touch with ourselves as we do those. “So it’s very important that we keep these things for the students and keep it alive, a part of their (lives) as something they can enjoy all of their lives. “Whatever age, we can still enjoy music, can still enjoy art and appreciate what other people are able to do,” she continued, “but for our young kids it’s a chance for them to express and to show people what they’re able to do and they are remarkable in their work.” It’s important to attend events like FAME to learn about history and the (continued on page 5)

City grants additional time to repair home By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A Huntington man received an additional 90 days to continue repairs on a home at 1344 Middle St. The man, John G. Davis, appeared before the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety on Thursday, April 7, to provide a status report on the home. In March, the home was the subject of an unsafe building hearing. During the hearing, City Building Commissioner John Stephens said the home had various problems, most noticeably a bad roof with several leaks in it. Davis told the board he would like to repair the structure and vowed to have the roof repaired within 30 days. During the status hearing, Davis told the board that the roof has been replaced. “I have also secured the building and I have put a third, new door on

the back of the building, so the building is secure,” he said. “The other two (doors) got kicked in. “Obviously I’ve put a lot of time and effort into this and I intend to go ahead and complete it.” Mayor Scott Long asked Davis if he had a timeline for repairs. “As far as hanging drywall and wiring, we’re looking about a week,” Davis said, but added a family medical issue may prevent him from i m m e d i a t e l y addressing the matter. Board member Dee Byerly said Davis had done “exactly what we had asked of him the last time he was here.” “I think he’s made an effort to comply with what he promised he would do,” Byerly continued. “I wouldn’t have any objection to giving him 90 days to work on it and then, at that point in time, have a status report.” Davis will report back to the board in July. In another matter,

approved an alcohol permit for a dinner during Arts Fest in June in the walkway between West Market and West Canal streets. The permit was approved pending proof of liquor liability insurance being provided. The board also tabled opening bids for a 1978 International single axle semi tractor being sold by the Wabash Street Department. Only one bid was received. Long noted that under state statute, the sale of an item with a value of less than $1,000 does not have to be advertised. “How would you know if that truck was even for sale,” board member Todd Titus asked. The truck has been parked in front of the street department for several months. The board ordered the department to advertise the vehicle.

Local family doctor retires after 40 years By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Dr. James P. McCann, MD, of Family Physicians Associates entered early retirement on Wednesday, March 30, after 33 years of service to the Wabash community and more than 40 years in the medical field. He shared how he first moved to Wabash in 1983 for one purpose. “I was looking for a small town without an obstetrician so I could deliver babies and I delivered 1,700 of them,” he told The Paper of Wabash County during an interview in his home library. When asked why he wanted to deliver babies, McCann said, “How you can you tell why you like stuff ? “You just do,” he continued. “It was just something that appealed to me. I got an award for obstetrics when I was in medical school and I’ve just always liked it. It just came naturally to me.” Born in Philadelphia, McCann attended Thomas Jefferson University, but his passion for the medical field began long before college. “I always wanted to be a small town family doctor,” he said. “I had an operation in the hospital. I was in eighth grade and I thought the people, the doctors, the nurses just looked so happy helping people and I thought, ‘That’s what I want to do.’” While studying at the university, McCann met and fell in love with his wife, Chris, who was a nurse at the time. “I was taking EKGs (electrocardiograms) in medical school. I was a sophomore,” he recalled, “… and she took my heart.” In addition to providing local medical care, McCann also volunteered overseas through Christian Medical Society. His latest trip in late January and early February took him to Ethiopia where he cared for 30 patients a day for six days. McCann recalled practicing medicine in Wabash was different 33 years ago than

it is today. “At that time, there were at least eight doctors who could do C-sections,” he said. Back then, family doctors and general surgeons performed births within the county, McCann explained. Today, children are birthed in nearby counties, such as Huntington. When the babies were no longer born within Wabash, “it was upsetting,” he said. “ F o r t u n a t e l y, Parkview’s going to get a new obstetrician,” McCann added. “I think it’s great. It’ll be great for the community.” Throughout all his years as a family doctor, McCann’s greatest achievement was “raising five children (Julie, Patrick, Paul, Joanna and Jay) successfully” together with his wife. “Four of them have post-graduate degrees, another one’s in sales and doing very well in that,” he explained, “but they’re all well grounded and two of them just bought houses within the last week. “My kids are all independent. They’re all independent thinkers. They have a faith based in Jesus Christ and they’re all productive in society. … They’re very close to one another.” Although he had a few years left, McCann explained it was time for him to retire. “I did a medical mission trip to Ethiopia in February and the only medical records I had there was just writing medical prescriptions like this,” he said, pulling out a small piece of paper no bigger than an index card. “This was all I had to fill out. “I came back here and I had 400 things in my in-basket, 168 emails and a 4-inch stack of paper my nurse had taken and flattened out … and I said, ‘That’s it. I can’t do this any more.’ I’m not a data entry clerk. I didn’t go to medical school to do this.” When Mrs. McCann heard the news that he was retiring, “she was very happy as well as my kids,” McCann said.

His children had been encouraging the decision since Christmas, he continued. “‘Come on, Dad. Come on,’ (they said), sending me letters,” he said. “’Dad, you need to retire. You need to retire.’” Officials at Parkview Health understood the local doctor’s position and were “very gracious with listening to me,” he explained, and allowed him to leave early. Now that he’s officially retired, McCann has his days mapped out. “One hour of prayer and Bible reading, one hour of reading novels a day,” he listed. “One hour of exercise which is stretched to two. One hour of playing with my grandchildren, which is going on about two to three, and one hour of cleaning the room of my wife’s choice and two hours in my woodshop. “And the rest of the time I do what my wife tells me to do. … I want to make sure I spend more time with my family.” On Wednesday, March 30, McCann and his family shared his retirement with the community and invited members of the public to celebrate it with him. “The other night, I had an open house and told me so many things that I didn’t remember,” McCann said. “People came up and (said), ‘Do you remember when my baby died, you took care of us?’ ‘You prayed with my mom when…’ But I have a

basket full of cards, full of memories. “Things that they remembered, it made me feel honored.” However, the night was bittersweet for the local doctor. “I had hoped, I had thought that I would have months to give my patients warning, but Parkview said, ‘Jim, if you want to get out, we’ll let you out right now,’” McCann said. “I said that’s great. Well, when I started telling people I was leaving, (they’d say), ‘You’re kidding! You’re kidding!’ “People were crying. Guys I’ve know for 30 years (saying), ‘You weren’t supposed to do this. You were supposed to bury me.’ I really felt guilty but … the vast majority of people

Dr. Jim McCann retired on Wednesday, March 30, and after 33 years of practicing medicine in Wabash. McCann now plans to spend more time with his family as well as other tasks such as reading his Bible, exercising and spending time in his woodshop. Photo by Emma Rausch said ‘congratulations’ and ‘enjoy retirement,’ which is good to hear.” Over the years, McCann cared for thousands of patients in the Wabash community. Now that he’s retired,

the one thing he’d like to say to his patients is: “Thank

you for the honor of being your doctor.”

Chamber president to retire

businesses. Most recently, Pinkerton, working with the Chamber’s Industry and Education Partners, helped identify career pathways and develop

a Workforce D e v e l o p m e n t Initiative to bring 21st Century technology to students and create a pipeline of qualified workers. This has resulted in many

grants and funding to the schools and career center for enhanced worker training and early college opportunities. “It’s important to remember that the

Chamber is a volunteer-driven business membership organization,” Pinkerton said. “This means that everything that was accomplished during my tour of

duty was the result of the efforts of many generous people and the outstanding collaborations with other community organizations. “The great success-

es of the Chamber are the direct outcome of our companies sharing their people and investing their resources in the belief that the Chamber’s work is important to

Wabash County.” A search committee is being formed to search for Pinkerton’s replacement. Anyone interested should contact Campbell at 260569-1906.

FAME celebrates Indiana heritage

... continued from the front page

culture of Indiana “because it’s where you came from,” according to Steve McPhail, Johnny (Chapman) Appleseed performer. “Somebody had to do all the work to build Indiana up the way it is,” McPhail said. “Somebody had to dig those canals that came right through Wabash. You can’t see them now, can you? No, because what they did was they filled the canal up and put a railroad track across it didn’t they? But all through there, that’s where the canal was. “You know where

you came from. If you don’t know history you don’t know where you came from.” The FAME festival “certainly is” a part of history, he continued. “This is a part of history in the fact that these little kids will remember this and what they did and they might be able to show their kids some day,” McPhail said. McPhail spoke to children about Johnny Appleseed’s history in Indiana, using turtle shells as calendars and weather stones. He told The Paper that his favorite part of the festival was seeing the youths

and watching their faces light up during their talks. “It’s just so neat to have them smile, especially the little ones,” he said, “and I give them something that they can take home with them that, you know, maybe another time they’ll see me somewhere at some event and they’ll say, ‘Johnny, you gave me a blue last time and I want a red one today.’” Locally known artist Candie CooperMcCoart joined the festival as a workshop leader and taught children how to metalwork while fellow

local artists taught how to block print and craft with glass. “My favorite thing about FAME is that every kid in the surrounding area is involved in some form or another,” McCoart said, “whether they’re singing in Vocal Impact or they have artwork on display or they can just come and participate and do something creative. There are so many opportunities for kids to just enjoy the arts in Wabash at the FAME Festival. It’s great.” An important part of the festival’s success in encouraging

artistic talents in children is that it’s free, McCoart said. “I think the first part of this is that all of these opportunities are free,” she explained. “You can come here with nothing in your pocket and just learn little bits and pieces. In my class, we learned about recycling fishing lures into jewelry. So I think that’s the start of it is just learning something.” However, “FAME, I

think it takes an army of people,” she continued, “and it start with our art teachers that are on the front lines in the classroom that are teaching these kids these techniques and encouraging them to have guts and put their art on display. Then we’ve got our queen bee, Judy Ward, that’s driving this ship, who is, I mean, Judy is a pillar in the arts community state wide. She is a treasure that we are

lucky to have in Wabash. “So yeah, that’s where it starts and then it just keeps building from there and we have tons of volunteers running around, like visiting artists like myself. It’s a lot. All of us are pooling in and pulling this thing off. “It (also) takes parents to support, bringing their kids here and then actually participating in this amazing event.

see that for the hours worked and the mileage paid, doing a motor route under this pay system is very profitable,”

Circulation Director Teresa Brubaker said. “It is as much as a 40 percent increase from the previous pay system.”

Man pleads guilty to 2015 burglary, arson ... continued from the front page a fire at Alcoholic’s Anonymous and Curt’s Barber Shop building, located at 1593 Stitt St. According a June 18 WFD press

release, the fire was discovered at 7:03 a.m. and extinguished by 7:33 a.m. The fire is believed to have started in a storage room of the

building and damage was estimated at $30,000 – $20,000 to the building and $10,000 to its contents. During the investi-

gation, WPD Public Information Officer Matt Benson said it was discovered the barbershop and the adjoining AA building were burglarized and the WPD continued the investiga-

tion. During the plea hearing on April 18, McCallen, recapping the case, explained that Harrell set fire to the establishment after realizing, during the burglary, that

there was surveillance equipment. On June 19, 2015, Harrell was arrested in Peru in connection with the arson. At the time of his arrest, he was charged with two

counts felony burglary, felony arson and being a habitual offender. Harrell’s sentencing hearing will take place Monday, May 23, at 1 p.m.

As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee’s wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman bean to stare at another woman’s face she was told, ‘mind your own bee’s was.’ Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term ‘crack a smile’. In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt, therefore, the expression ‘losing face.’” Unknown SEND YOUR NEWS & pictures to me by Thursday to etheleib@gmail.com or 2258 E 1050 S LaFontaine, IN, 46940.

Deputy joins Sheriff’s Department By Amanda Bridgman abridgman@nmpaper.com Deputy Mat Galligan began his duties on Sunday, April 10, with the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department. Sheriff Bob Land reported to Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners on Monday morning, April 11, that Galligan, a former North Manchester police officer, has joined the department. He replaces Deputy Dustin Hurst who resigned to become a worship leader at the LaFontaine Christian Church. Galligan’s resignation from the North Manchester department is expected to be discussed when the North Manchester Town Council meets on April 13. In another matter, Commissioners heard from Henry Becker,

president of the Roann Covered Bridge Association. “I’m here to ask you to paint it,” Becker said. He said the bridge association partnered with commissioners 25 years ago, the last time the bridge has been painted, but now the association can’t find anybody to paint it. Becker said the association just spent $1,700 repairing the bridge’s roof. “We just don’t have the resources we did 25 years ago,” he explained. Commissioner Brian Haupert said the Commissioners will start the process required for them to pay for painting. Becker said the bridge was built in 1877, burnt down in 1990 and was rebuilt in 1991. He said the paint is “really peeling off,” and Roann residents would just like to see a fresh coat of red paint put on. “We’ll pursue that

p r o j e c t , ” Commissioners Chairman Barry Eppley said. Tobias Steffen, with Butler, Fairman and Seufert Civil Engineers, was in the audience and told the Commissioners he has seen the bridge and doesn’t believe there is any lead paint on it, stating that it could end up being a fairly simple job. Also at the meeting, Commissioners approved 3-0 to accept the $116,000 bid from Smith Excavating out of Amboy to do the demolition work of removing the viaduct at County Road 700 West. County Highway Superintendent John Martin said last year a piece of the crumbling concrete fell onto a pickup truck passing underneath, damaging the windshield, and since then the underpass has been closed to traffic. “It needs to come down,” Martin said.

Center for History open during construction By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — The North Manchester Center for History is open again after its annual three-month winter hiatus. Casual observers may be forgiven for thinking that the Center is boarded up and temporarily out of business. But the Center is most definitely open. Visitors are protected by a covered walkway and can still access the Center for History through the front door from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. week-

days. In the rare event that construction temporarily blocks the front entrance, visitors are welcome to access the museum through a door in the alley on the west side of the building. Staff and volunteers are on hand as always for those who wish to visit the museum, drop off articles to add to the collection, be assisted with research for the Family Tree Bicentennial Project, or do other research. The construction is part of the Center for History’s façade renovation project.

According to Mary Chrastil, president of the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society, the façade project is moving along well. The goal is to restore the three-wide storefront to its 1925 condition. “We would love to go back to the Victorian storefronts, but they were pretty much destroyed in the 1925 renovation. Fortunately, we have many photographs from that period. We even found some beautiful old transom windows that we are restoring. The façade is going to be spectacular once it’s fin-

ished.” SRKM Architects and D-T Construction will be able to duplicate the windows, terra cotta and limestone details, and brickwork of the original. After months of planning, most of the custom materials have been ordered. Completion by the end of June is anticipated. The Center for History is a strong advocate for historic preservation, and very happy to participate in the improvements that have taken place the past three years downtown. As a private not-for-profit that receives no regular government funding, the Center is fortunate to be able to participate in the town’s façade project;

however, that assistance will cover less than 10 percent of the cost. As a fundraiser, the Center is offering a limited number of engraved pavers that

will be placed along the front of the new façade. Contact the Center for more information. The Center for History is open at 122

Group names Banks Legislator of the Year By The Paper staff T h e M i l i t a r y / Ve t e r a n s Coalition of Indiana recently named State Sen. Jim Banks (RColumbia City) its 2016 Legislator of the Year. Banks was honored this week for championing several legislative initiatives supporting Hoosier veterans, including: Senate Enrolled Act 145, which allows funeral directors to turn over unclaimed cremated remains of verified veterans to veterans’ service organizations to be placed in a state or national cemetery. Senate Enrolled Act 295, which expands the Indiana Military Family Relief Fund (MFRF) by opening up the fund to any veteran of any national conflict or war who is also an Indiana resident and a current or honorably discharged member of the armed forces or National Guard. This bill also creates a place on state income-tax forms to enable taxpayers to donate all or

part of their refund to the MFRF. Senate Enrolled Act 362, which extends the rights, benefits and protections found in the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to members of the Indiana National Guard who live in another state during a state-sponsored activation. “This session, I had the privilege of authoring and supporting many bills that will improve the lives of Hoosier veterans,” Banks said. “It’s an honor to be recognized by an organiza-

tion that strives to promote and advocate for the needs of Indiana’s veterans and their families.” Brig. Gen. Jim Bauerle, vice-chair of t h e M i l i t a r y / Ve t e r a n s Coalition, presented the award to Banks. “Senator Banks has demonstrated by his actions that he values our military, veterans, retirees, surviving spouses and their families by authoring several bills that will become law,” Bauerle said. “Senator Banks listened to the ideas, asked questions, did his research and then

crafted outstanding legislation that will help Hoosiers who serve or have served and their families. Several legislators worked with us this session and Senator Banks was by far the most significant. We value his leadership, wisdom, judgement, technical acumen, and caring. We look forward to continuing this relationship in the future and we hope all other members of the General Assembly will work with us in the same way.”

Dyson appears again before Commissioners By Amanda Bridgman abridgman@nmpaper.com Wabash County Commissioners heard from local resident Douglas Alan Dyson at its Monday morning meeting, April 18. Dyson asked Commissioners last Monday to sign a document that stated the commissioners are not a common law court nor are they common law judges. At that meeting, County Attorney Steve Downs advised commissioners not to sign anything for Dyson. Downs said the meeting’s official minutes will reflect Dyson’s request by commissioners stating that they are not a common law court nor common law judges, and that Dyson could then retrieve a copy of the minutes for what his purpose may be. Dyson returned

Monday and presented commissioners with legal paperwork. Dyson told commissioners he is currently in a legal dispute with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, of which he is being threatened with fines and jail time. Dyson told commissioners if the judge signs the order he just presented the commissioners evidence of, then he will be coming back after the county’s insurance carrier. The lawsuit is in regard to the former Celotex site in Lagro. Dyson is named in the suit, along with his brother Jeffrey D. Dyson and their business Dyson Brothers Property, LLC, as a current owner of the property. IDEM alleges the Dyson brothers own that property, and that they are farming or tilling on the property’s grounds, which used to be the home of a landfill and

lagoon areas. IDEM states in the court filings that asbestos and other phenols and paint-related wastes are present at the site and that any action disturbing the former landfill and lagoon areas are in violation of environmental laws and rules of the State of Indiana. Court records state Douglas Alan Dyson, Jeffrey D. Dyson and Dyson Brothers Property, LLC, are jointly and severally reliable for $18,356 in court fines, and that if any crops have been planted on the landfill area since 2016 and in violation of the court order to stop all work on those sites, further sanctions will be imposed, including jail time. “My point is, I don’t own it,” Douglas Dyson told the North Manchester NewsJournal on Monday. “I don’t own it, I’ve never owned it.” He said he’s already been jailed

and it cost him $50,000 bond to get out. “IDEM has no contract, covenant or agreement involving that property,” he said. Commissioners told him Monday that he is dealing with the state, to which Dyson told commissioners they are allowing the state to operate in Wabash County. C o u n t y Commissioner Brian Haupert then told Dyson that actually the state is allowing the county to operate. Commissioners accepted Dyson’s paperwork for their records but did not state any opinion on the matter. Also Monday, Commissioners accepted the recommendation 3-0 from County Highway Superintendent John Martin to buy the county’s winter salt from Cargill for $125,344. That’s $78.34 per ton.

ISP honors two local troopers By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS – On Friday afternoon, the Indiana State Police Department had an awards and recognition ceremony in Indianapolis in which two troopers assigned to the Peru Post were among those honored. The ceremony publicly recognized the achievements and deeds of self-sacrifice and accomplishments that all too often go without the proper recognition. Over 50 people from around

the state, were honored for their dedication to service, bravery, devotion to the department and the citizens of Indiana. Senior Trooper Mike Lorona, who works from the Indiana State Police Peru Post, was recognized as the 2015 Trooper of the District. The award is given annually to the trooper that personifies integrity, professionalism, and a wellrounded work ethic. Lorona was selected by the command staff

at the Peru District for dedication to his job, traffic and criminal enforcement, community involvement, instructor ratings, specialty assignments, and other services performed for the department beyond normal expectations. He has worked for the state police for 13 years. He patrols primarily in Miami County. Trooper Steven Glass, also assigned to the Indiana State Police Peru District, received the Indiana

State Police Life Award and the Indiana State Police District DUI Award for his commitment to removing impaired drivers from Indiana roadways. In 2015, he led the Peru District and the Indiana State Police Department with 172 impaired driving arrests. He has served with the Indiana State Police Department for almost two years.

dards.” No interruptions in water service are anticipated as a result of the work. Customers may experience a slight drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration while this program is underway. Customers should refrain from doing laundry during the time of day the flushing program is taking place in or near their neighborhood. If tap water is discolored, Indiana American Water recommends allowing several cold-water faucets to run for a short time until the water runs clear. Using more than one faucet allows the water to clear more quickly. Customers who have questions regarding hydrant flushing may call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-4928373. The water main flushing will be performed by Indiana American Water crews. They will be working out of trucks identified with the company logo. All employees will also have photo ID badges.

LaFontaine man charged with burglary By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com LAFONTAINE – A LaFontaine man was arrested on felony burglary charges following a threemonth Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department burglary and theft investigation. Matthew D. Auler, 28, was booked into the Wabash County Jail on Friday, April 8, on charges of felony burglary, felony conspiracy and misdemeanor theft of great than

$750 and less than $50,000 of a Branson Street residence. Officers responded to the residence on Jan. 24 after receiving a report of burglary, according to the probable cause affidavit. Deputy Matt Cox spoke to the sole occupant of the residence, the documents continued. “(The victim) stated that she arrived home from a short vacation to find her home burglarized and several items stolen,” Det. Sgt. Michael Davis stated

in the affidavit. The woman advised officers she found a bathroom window partially open, he continued. “Deputy Matt Cox advised that he also observed shoeprints in the snow which circled the home and led to several windows on the exterior of the residence,” Davis said. “Of these windows, multiple screens had been removed which (the victim) stated were not removed by her and believed the suspect(s) had removed the screens.”

Juanita Whitehead, 87 Talented seamstress Nov. 12, 1928 – April 17, 2016 Juanita Fay Whitehead, 87, of Wabash, died at 3:55 a.m., Sunday, April 17, 2016 at Clark Memorial Hospital in Jeffersonville. She was born Nov. 12, 1928, in Peru, to Samuel and Lena (Feather) Russell. Juanita was a 1950 graduate of Butler Township High School, where she was involved in the Drama Club. She married Daniel F. Whitehead on June 23, 1951, in Peru; he died Nov. 10, 1985. She was a homemaker that enjoyed raising her children, and caring for her grandchildren. Juanita was a talented seamstress and enjoyed quilting and needlepoint. She was an active member of Wabash Friends Church for decades.

The victim advised officers there were several items stolen from her home, including jewelry, perfume, toothpaste, Keurig coffee cups, a laptop and a television, according to the court documents. On Jan. 28, Davis received a report that, prior to the burglary, anti-theft tracking software was installed on the victim’s laptop and traced the computer to a residence in the 100 block of North Wabash Street in LaFontaine, the documents continued. At approximately 4:34 a.m. on Jan. 28, officers executed a search warranted on the residence and located the reported laptop, according to the affidavit. During the search for the laptop, officers observed, in plain site, other items matching the descriptions of the victim’s stolen and obtained additional warrants to seize the items, the document continued. The seized items included a black suitcase, a pair of DC tennis shoes, a box of 3D Crest toothpaste, black velvet bag with miscellaneous jewelry, four bottles of women’s perfume, a

brown wooden top to a jewelry box, two black leather studded dog collars, an orange-color rock light and four sets of blister pack prescription medications with a woman’s name on the label, according to the affidavit. On Jan. 29, the victim confirmed all the collected items, except for the shoes, were stolen from her residence, according to the court documents. From Feb. 1 to March 2, officers interviewed three men suspected of the burglary, including Auler, the documents continued. Davis spoke with Auler on Feb. 18 at the Sheriff ’s department. After reading Auler his Miranda Rights, Davis said Auler signed the waiver and agreed to speak with him, according to the affidavit. “I advised (Auler) that I needed to speak with him about the burglary that occurred at the residence of (the victim),” Davis said. “He advised that he did not know anything about that burglary. “I advised him that

(

I did not believe him and I had already spoken with other parties involved in reference to this incident.” After talking with the officer for some time, Auler admitted that he and two other men did enter the victim’s residence and stole items. “(Auler) advised that all three of them were intoxicated and high on Xanax pills,” Davis said, adding that he said he didn’t think it was a good idea to burglarize the house. Auler continued, saying that while the two other men went

into the residence and took items, he stayed outside “the entire time,” according to the affidavit.

23 Wabash City Schools continues operating tax referendum discussion THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

April 20, 2016

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash City Schools’ operating tax is on May ballot and it is up to the community to decide if it’s implemented or not. Superintendent Jason Callahan emphasized that point at the second tax referendum meeting on Tuesday, April 12, asking WCS district residents to vote “yes.” “This is a communi-

ty decision,” Callahan said. “All I did, all the school board did was put it to the voter. We put it on the ballot, so it is a community decision. “It’s not unusual. Last two years, there have been 18 May primary operating fund referendums and 83 percent of those communities has supported their school systems. So it is not unusual for schools to seek this and it is not unusual for communi-

ties to support their schools.” If implemented, the tax levy would add a 28 cent per $100 assessed valuation for the next seven years to residents in the WCS district. It would also assist with the school’s operating funds and retain the current number of employees and upkeep for the cost of living and inflation for faculty and staff, according to Callahan.

“Why we chose it, we had to cover that $318,000 shortfall,” he said. “We had to cover that gap, but again when we have not been compensating people consistently and fairly for five years, we have to be at least covering cost of living increases. “That is what the expectation has been. It is what the expectation is throughout the state. It’s not looking to go crazy with salaries. It is just

Disaster loan applications deadline approaching From the USDA

ATLANTA – The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small aquaculture businesses and most private nonprofit organizations in Indiana of the deadline to submit disaster loan applications for economic injury caused by severe storms, tornadoes and flooding from June 7 through July 29, 2015. “Businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster and want to apply for low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the May 18 deadline,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA Field Operations Center East. Low-interest disaster loans are available in the counties of Brown, Huntington, Jay, Jefferson and Morgan and the adjacent counties of Adams, Allen, B a r t h o l o m e w, Blackford, Clark, Delaware, Grant, Hendricks, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson, Marion, Monroe, Owen, Putnam, Randolph, Ripley, Scott, Switzerland, Wabash, Wells and Whitley in Indiana; Carroll and Trimble in Kentucky; Darke and Mercer in Ohio. Working capital disaster loans up to $2 million are available at 4 percent for small businesses, and 2.625 percent for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years. The loans are intended to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other expenses that

could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. To be considered for this assistance, eligible entities need to apply by the deadline. Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at https://disasterloan.sb a.gov/ela.

Applications and program information are available by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 1-800659-2955 (1-800-877-8339 for the deaf and hardof-hearing), or by sending an email to disastercustomerservice@s ba.gov. Loan applications can also be downloaded from the SBA’s website at

www.sba.gov/disaster. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155. The deadline to return economic injury applications is May 18, 2016.

being consistent and fair to the teachers who are making a difference in our kids’ lives.” The need for the referendum stemmed from the school system’s loss of the state tuition support Transition to Foundation, which was implemented in 2011 originally for seven years and provided approximately $518,000 annually. Additionally, the district also experienced an enrollment drop as 125 Wabash High School students graduated and only 91 kindergarten students enrolled. In an online survey hosted by The Paper of Wabash County, 21 residents voiced their opinions. Ten claimed they would vote “yes,” eight stated they would vote “no” and three stated they were undecided on their choice. Robert Nagel, of North Miami Street,

said he’d vote “no” for the tax because “they have not proposed a plan to eliminate waste before they ask for more money.” Before the WCS Board decided to come to the community for assistance, Callahan said it made several cutbacks. “Since 2012, we have cut 15 certified and classified positions,” he explained. “We talked about this a little bit the last time. We cut out a custodian from every building for second shift. We’ve cut paraprofessionals. … We’ve cut 15 positions. We cut our business department. We’ve cut consumer science. It’s five years of cuts and cuts and cuts. “One of the reasons why we came to this was because it felt like it was time to stop cutting, that if we continue to cut – and if this doesn’t pass, we’ll have to continue

to cut – then we’re at a tipping point of maybe not being able to be that premier school system and not attracting that 154 families or future families to Wabash and Wabash City Schools.” Wabash Street resident Katherine Geible said she will vote “yes” this primary season. “Schools have been underfunded ever since the state legislature changed the formula for dispersing funds to allow for small, more rural schools by equating their funds with the moneys given (to) larger corporations,” Geible wrote in a The Paper of Wabash County survey. “New money has basically dried up, forcing small corporations like Wabash and Metro to cut, cut, cut faculty and programming.”

Work on LaFontaine Park begins Article provided Early Saturday morning, April 2, volunteers came together to start the first phase of the renovations of CookCrumley Park in the small town of Lafontaine. All of the play structures were noncompliant with safety regulations, so they were removed on Saturday. The ground has been leveled and the park committee plans to discuss the purchase of new equipment at their next meeting on April 20, 2016. The park committee would like to thank the following individuals for their donation of time and/or services for the demolition of the old equipment: Bud Miller, Jed Dereck, Tony Long, Jody Caudil, Gary Nose, John Petro, Joe Petro, Marlin and Janet Pattee, Amy Brandle, Rita Miller, Idris Krhin, Jay Gillespie, Denney Jones, and Justin Montgomery. The Lafontaine Park Committee is working with the

Lafontaine Lions Club and the Wabash County Chamber of C o m m e r c e Leadership Class to raise funds for the park renovations. Through several successful fundraisers such as the Chili Dinner, Penny Wars, T-shirt sales, and donations by local businesses and individuals, they are excited to announce that they have raised approximately

$12,000 toward their final goal of $40,000. The park committee plans to implement the renovations in several phases. Phase one of removing the unsafe equipment is complete. Playground equipment will be installed in phases as money is raised, likely beginning with a swing set and groundcover which they hope to purchase this summer.

Several more fundraisers as well as grant applications are in the works to continue raising money for the park. For more updates, you can like their Facebook page, “LaFontaine Town Park Project”. Donations may be sent to: LaFontaine Lions Club, P.O. Box 93, LaFontaine, IN 46940. “Park Fund” should be included in the memo line.

Duke Energy celebrates its heroes for National Lineman Appreciation Day By The Paper staff

PLAINFIELD – When the governor declares weather conditions are so horrific, everyone should stay home, the lineman gathers his gear and heads to his truck. He kisses his family goodbye, knowing he may be away for days or even weeks, until everyone has their electricity restored.

Sixteen-hour days, biting cold, blinding snow, drenching rain, tropical-force winds, he surveys the damage nature has done and determines the course of action that will repair the damaged system and return people’s lives to their normal routine. He doesn’t look for praise... he’s just doing his job. April 18 is nationally

recognized as National Lineman Appreciation Day to honor line workers and their role in building, maintaining and restoring service that powers the lives of our customers. Mayor Scott Long was among officials from all over Duke Energy Indiana’s 69county service territory have issued proclamations in honor of line workers. The

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) is now accepting applications for the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. An expected total of $383,644 in federal funding will come

from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and be available to nonprofits, producers, academic institutions, government agencies and others to fund projects that will enhance the competitiveness of Indiana’s specialty crops. “Specialty crop production is a critical

component to Indiana’s diversified agriculture industry,” said Ted McKinney, ISDA Director. “These funds will provide an excellent opportunity to advance specialty crop production in Indiana and promote them in the local marketplace.” The USDA’s A g r i c u l t u r a l Marketing Service defines specialty crops as “fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits and horticulture and nursery crops (including floriculture).” Eligible plants must be intensively cultivated and used by people for food, medicinal purposes and/or aesthetic gratification. A list of specialty crops is available, along with a companion list of ineligible commodities, on USDA’s website. Proposed projects should accomplish one or more of the following objectives: Developing adaptation and mitigation strategies for farmers in drought-stricken regions of the country; Developing local and regional food systems; Developing new and improved seed varieties and specialty crops; Enhancing food safety; Improving the capacity of all entities in the specialty crop distribution chain to

comply with the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act (e.g., by developing “Good Agricultural Practices,” “Good Handling Practices,” “Good Manufacturing Practices” and in costshare arrangements for funding audits of such systems for small farmers, packers and processors); Improving efficiency and reducing costs of distribution systems; Improving food access in undeserved communities and among veterans; Increasing child and adult nutrition knowledge and consumption of specialty crops; Increasing opportunities for new and beginning farmers; Investing in specialty crop research, including research to focus on conservation and environmental outcomes; Pest and disease control; Protecting and improving pollinator health; and Supporting the growth of organic specialty crops. Grant proposals are due June 6, 2016 by 5:00 p.m. (EST). For more information about the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, please visit www.in.gov/isda /2474.htm or contact Melissa Rekeweg at mrekeweg@isda.in.go v.
