Heartland student, Community Foundation to receive honors By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
A Heartland Career Center student and a local organization will both be honored later this month at the Indiana Department of Education’s Awards for Excellence Recognition Program. The student, Madison France,
and the organization, the Community Foundation of Wabash County, were nominated for the awards by Heartland director Mark Hobbs. They will be honored along with other recipients from around Indiana during a Feb. 26 ceremony at the Indiana Government Center Auditorium in Indianapolis. A second-year student in
Heartland’s criminal justice program, Madison was selected because of her excellent academic record, Hobbs told The Paper of Wabash County. “We were looking for a student in the top 10 of her class,” he said. “She’s ranked fifth (at North Miami High School). We wanted someone who has been (continued on page 4)
Kindergarten The Paper of Wabash changes delivery system Round-up set By The Paper Staff By The Paper staff Beginning this week, The Paper of Wabash County will be delivered via the U.S. Postal Service to households in Wabash County. The decision to stop delivery by carriers was a difficult one to make, but The Paper officials believe having the newspaper delivered by the Post Office will guarantee all households will receive a copy of the newspaper each week. “This is part of our way of
providing excellent customer service to our readers and our customers,” said Don Hurd, The Paper owner and publisher. The newspapers will not be delivered to those in Wabash, North Manchester, Roann and LaFontaine who generally use post office boxes for their mail delivery. Rather, newspaper racks also will be placed at the Post Office in those communities so that those who normally receive their mail at post office boxes can obtain a copy of the newspaper there.
The 2019 Kindergarten Round-up has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 20 at the Honeywell Center lobby from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Please enter through the circle drive on the northwest corner. The Round-up is for children turning five by Aug. 1, 2019, and is for Emmanuel Christian, Metro North, O.J. Neighbours, Southwood and St. Bernard schools. (continued on page 4)
Wabash Circuit Court Judge Robert McCallen III accepted a plea agreement for Corey Kelch, one of two individuals involved in the April 2018 robbery and murder of a LaFontaine man. McCallen, during a nearly two-hour, often emotional hearing on Monday afternoon, Feb. 18, sentenced Kelch allowed under the statute, 30 years for robbery. Kelch and the late Kaleb Marin were suspects in the April 25, 2018, robbery and shooting death of Jordan Richards in Richards’ LaFontaine home. Marin died four days later in a car accident not too far away from the murder scene. Kelch was arrested at a Marion home on May 4 and was charged with murder and robbery. In January, he pled guilty to robbery in exchange for Wabash County Prosecutor William Hartley Jr. dropping the murder charge.
Kelch’s attorney, Scott Lennox, urged the court to give his client the minimum amount allowed by law, 17 ½ years. However, Hartley, based on various testimony received during the hearing, urged the court to sentence him to the maximum 30 years. McCallen, when imposing sentencing, said, “quite frankly, Mr. Hartley, I would have been shocked if you had asked for anything less than 30 years.” When the judge announced the sentence at 30 years, most of the more than 50 people in attendance broke out in applause. “You say you’re remorseful,” he told Kelch, saying his remorse didn’t prevent him from taking part in various actions he testified to in the days following Richards’ death. Kelch, during about 45 minutes of testimony, recounted his life and the hours leading up to Richards’ death. Kelch testified he was often verbally abused by fellow students while attending Oak Hill (continued on page 5)
Plea agreement withdrawn in ex-coroner’s case By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A plea agreement with former Wabash County Coroner Carol (Whitesell) Nose was withdrawn on Monday, Feb. 18, in Wabash Circuit Court. A new trial date has been scheduled for June 4-5. Nose is charged with official misconduct for allegedly failing to turn over numerous files to the current coroner. Police allegedly recovered some of the files from Nose’s home, but they did not contain a coroner’s report, which is required by state law when coroners view a body, hear evidence or make inquiries to rule on deaths. Indiana State Police contend
Nose failed to complete the required documentation on more than 300 cases that came through her office. As part of the plea agreement, Nose was supposed to pay $5,000 restitution to the county. Under state statute, Prosecutor William Hartley Jr. told the court, if a coroner fails to supply the required reports or autopsy reports, they are not to be paid until the reports are filed. Hartley said the partial restitution is for money Nose was paid for services she didn’t complete. He suggested extending the deadline by 30 days. However, Nose’s attorney, Todd Whitehurst, told the court that she was attempting to raise (continued on page 5)

City softball diamond may be refurbished By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
The Wabash Board of Parks and Recreation will consider a request to refurbish the Wabash City Park softball diamond when it meets on March 13. The board, at its Feb. 13 meeting, heard from Dave Judy and Steve Flynn, members of the Wabash Fastpitch Committee which is interested in upgrading the diamond. “We would like to do some changes to it,” Judy told the board. “We’d like to add a drainage system to it. Right now, when it rains all the dirt and everything goes straight down … into the creek. It’s just been a problem for
years and years.” The committee also would like to resurface the infield, add new dugouts, repair the fence and remove parts of the bleachers. “There’s not the huge turnout for fastpitch like when we were younger, but there still is quite a bit of crowd,” Judy said. “We can eliminate some of the bleachers and take off some of the cost of painting those bleachers, maintaining them and we can get them out of our way.” He said the committee would seek private donations for the work, estimated to cost $3,000. Material for the dugouts, he noted, already has been donated. “This is all donations because we love
softball,” Flynn said. The league also would add sponsorship signs, such as those at the Babe Ruth baseball diamond. “We can get a two or three year contract with them,” he said of sponsors. He expects about $2,600 to be raised through signage, and that, Judy said, should cover most of the cost of installing the new drainage system. Improvements to the diamond, he believes, will help the city attract more tournaments to the diamond. Right now, two state tourneys – the CState Tournament from July 19-21, and the D-State Tournament from Aug. 9-11 – are planned at the dia-
mond. The tourneys will bring several teams to the city, he continued, and that will generate income for the motels, restaurants and other businesses. “They’re going to be here for the whole weekend, from Friday through Sunday,” Judy said. The diamond needs repair and, he believes the committee, by donating labor and material, can get it done fairly inexpensively. Judy, in response to a board question, said he would like to see the work done before as soon as possible. “When you guys say go, we’re going to get going,” Flynn said. The only issue, both Judy and Park Superintendent Adam Hall said, was where
to route the drain. City officials would have to work with the committee to determine which way to go. “It sounds great,” Hall said of the plans. “We’ve done something similar with the Disc Golf League. They are people who are invested. Dave wants to do the same thing. He’s got the opportunity, I think. He’s got a plan. “I think this is an opportunity to bring
it back to life.” However, before work can begin, the committee and the city must have a lease agreement. “I think we’ll probably want to do it based on the way we do with Little League,” Hall said. “They’ll maintain the infield. We’ll take care of the grounds outside. We’ll guarantee we’ll mow it. … They’ll stripe it. We help drag it. Infield, game play, we
leave that to them because they know what they want and sometimes we just get in the way.”

The Wabash County Commissioners approved the acceptance of a bid for the County Road 1100 North construction project at the Monday, Feb. 11 meeting. County Highway Superintendent John Martin recommended that the commissioners accept the low bidder for the project, revealed at last week’s meeting, Phend and Brown, Leesburg, for $1,287,982.28. $1 million of that amount will come in the form of a Community Crossings Grant, Martin noted. Martin also presented a utility permit from Frontier Communications to bore across County Road 100 West and install 40 feet of new cable along 100 West to restore service to the address 2609 S. 100 W. Martin also presented a road cut permit from Bill Winger to install field tile across County Road 1000 North, approximately a half a mile from Philabaum Road. The commissioners approved the permits. Martin also presented what he referred to as “Supplemental Agreement No. 1,” to
add to a Sept. 18, 2017 agreement for the 1000 North project from Butler, Fairman and Seifert, the engineering firm handling the overseeing of the project. The supplement agreement is for the construction inspection of the 1100 North project, and is not to exceed $98,000. The original contract was $257,430, bringing the engineering total to $355,430. Sheriff Ryan Baker gave his weekly jail report at the meeting. The average daily population was 107, with 27 new bookings and 22 transports. Wabash County had 51 prisoners housed in Miami County and another 14 in Eklhart. The jail’s current population Monday morning stood at 109, giving the county 174 total inmates, 25 of them Level 6 felons. Baker reported that the jail was over capacity 100 percent of the time. Baker also presented a lease agreement for a 2019 Dodge Charger, which the commissioners approved. County Attorney Steve Downs notified Commissioners that City of Wabash Mayor’s office requested that the GDX property be taken off of the

here two years. She was actually a Lilly Scholar finalist in Miami County. “She’s just one of those students who go above and beyond both in school and out of school. She just kind of achieved excellence. That’s what this award is; it’s an award for excellence.” By the time she graduates later this year, Madison will have achieved 30 college credits, 18 of which she achieved at Heartland. She also is heavily involved in extracurricular activities, having earned All-Three Rivers Conference honors for the North Miami soccer team and led the state in saves. “She played quite a bit of the season with a broken finger that actually required surgery,” Hobbs noted. “She didn’t want to let her team down.” Madison was excited and a bit apprehensive when she found out she had been nominated for the award. “It was like, ‘Oh, no, this is serious,’” she said. “This is big
because of how early in advance (Hobbs) started asking me for everything. I had to go to my principal and ask for a letter of recommendation. “It is really cool to have hard work recognized. I was really humbled by the fact that I know there’s so many deserving kids at Heartland and to be one of those chosen for the award was – well, I’m just grateful for it. It’s nice to see work being recognized like that.” When Madison learned she had won an award, she was actually at her Macy home doing eLearning during the recent polar vortex. “I kind of like jumped up and down,” she recalled. “I was so excited because I knew there was going to be a ceremony and everything that my parents would get to go to. I guess part of me was hoping they would see this accomplishment and be proud. I am just happy to be able to represent Heartland and North Miami. As part of the nom-
ination process, her high school principal, Matt Storm, and her Heartland instructor, Leroy Striker, had to write letters of recommendation. Pete DuPont, Heartland’s supervisor of student services, also provided a letter. “Our future lies in the hands of our students,” Striker wrote. “Madison is one who gives me hope. Her constant drive to seek her goals and ambitions are ever-present and she welcomes challenges and deals with adversity when confronted.” Storm wrote Madison “has always exhibited the highest level of character, is intelligent, athletic and likeable. Academically and athletically, Madison puts consistent effort into reaching her goals.” Madison, the daughter of Lee France and Jaci France, plans to attend Indiana State University and eventually would like to one day join the Indiana State Police specializing in cybercriminology and

security. Early in her high school career, she wanted to pursue a degree in psychology. “I wanted to do psychology and figure out how peoples’ minds work,” she said. “Coming (to Heartland), it had switched from psychology to criminal psychology or forensic psychology.” She said that while she wants to help people, she also wants to make a difference. “If you look at the media now, you either see police doing really great things or you see police brutality, racial profiling, things like that,” Madison said. “I want to be a police officer people can look at and trust and know that I’m going to protect them and have their best interest in mind. I’m there to protect and serve; I’m not there to pursue my own agenda.” She thanked Hobbs, Striker and the entire Heartland staff for helping her over the
past two years. The Community Foundation’s nomination was for Excellence in S e c o n d a r y Partnerships. “The Community Foundation has been a tremendous supporter of skill attainment and career and technical education for students from all of Wabash County and Miami County,” Hobbs said. “Even though they’re the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County, they’re supportive of all of Heartland. They’re tremendous supporters.” Over the last five years, Hobbs noted in the nomination form, the Community Foundation has supported the school with grants to help credential the school’s welding instructor which, in turn, led to credentialing opportunities for high school and adult students. C o m m u n i t y Foundation provided
a grant to establish a preschool at Heartland. That, Hobbs noted, also enabled the school’s early childhood education students a chance to provide educational services for 20 preschool children. The nomination was supported by letters from superintendents Jason Callahan and Mike Keaffaber of Wabash City Schools and MSD of Wabash County, respectively, as well as Mike Pettitbone, former Manchester Community Schools interim superintendent. H o n e y w e l l F o u n d a t i o n Educational Outreach director Teresa Galley and Keith Gillenwater, Grow Wabash County president and CEO, also provided letters of support. “The Community Foundation is so honored to be a funder with this innovative group,” Julie Garber, C o m m u n i t y
Foundation’s program director, said in a news release. “Only through collaboration and a bit of fearlessness to try new ideas can we make things happen in the county. And, of course, none of it would be possible without the generous donors to the C o m m u n i t y Foundation who are equally brave about launching great initiatives. I’m grateful every day to live in this creative, supportive, mutually challenging community.” C o m m u n i t y Foundation Executive Director Patty Grant said, “We are humbled by the supportive comments and recommendations of our educational partners and are extremely appreciated to have been selected for this award. Our work is made possible through the support and generosity of others, and we extend this award to all who have helped make our success possible.”

Kelch gets 30 years
...continued from the front page High School. That bullying stopped after about six months when Marin befriended him. The two, he said, became good friends and were still in contact even when Marin served time in the Indiana Department of Corrections. Kelch also testified that he suffered a traumatic brain injury the result of hitting a deer while driving 60 mph on a motorcycle and not wearing a helmet. That, he said, has prevented him from thinking properly since then. Kelch, under questioning by Lennox, also admitted to having a severe drug addiction to methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana. Under cross-examination from Hartley, Kelch contended he didn’t know what Marin had planned the night he texted him and asked him to pick him up at Richards’ home. Marin, in texts to Kelch, told him that something big was going to happen and that he would reward him with guns and drugs, according to the testimony. One of the texts also said that “a 40 (caliber weapon) is loud (expletive). Kelch said he still didn’t understand what was going on. It wasn’t until Marin asked him to help him bring items from Richards’ home that he realized Marin had killed him. He said he became afraid, but also was afraid that Marin would do the same thing to him if he told police. Hartley asked why Kelch didn’t notify police once Marin was killed in a car accident, which also claimed the lives to two other individuals. “He has a big family,” Kelch said. “I was still scared, and I’m still scared, honestly. He has a large family and they’re kind of not nice.” Attorneys asked Kelch if he had sought help for his drug addiction. But Kelch said such help isn’t available at the Wabash County Jail. Hartley, seizing upon the point, asked Kelch if he had been
under the influence of anything while in the jail. He admitted to being intoxicated on “jail juice” at times since his arrest. The prosecutor then asked why, just 24 hours before his sentencing, attempted to have someone smuggle drugs into the jail. Kelch denied it at first, but later admitted to it when Hartley noted he had taped telephone conversations of him trying to arrange such a thing. Kelch said he was nervous about the upcoming hearing and needed something to help him cope. Kelch said he was nervous about the upcoming hearing. Following the testimony of Kelch and that of Terri Weaver, Hartley’s criminal investigator, who spoke about Kelch’s telephone calls, friends and relatives of Richards were allowed to speak. One friend, Tristan Smith, said he didn’t understand why Kelch didn’t tell authorities. “You took a life away from a mother, sister, brother, grandmother,” he said. “I don’t think you have as much remorse as you (expletive) say you do.” The most emotional comments came from Michelle Richards, the victim’s mother,
who read several letters from family members, including one written on behalf of Richards’ 3-year-old daughter, Danielle. “Little girls need their dads,” she read. “Did you think of me?” She ended that letter by saying, “I hope you know how one decision can affect many lives.” Mrs. Richards, under questioning from Hartley, said she doesn’t mind the plea agreement, if more than the minimum sentence was imposed. If it was at or less the minimum, she wouldn’t be happy. Hartley, during his closing comments, tried to explain why he offered Kelch the plea agreement. Had the matter gone to trial on both charges and Kelch was found guilty, he could have appealed the sentencing and received less time. Under terms of the agreement, he cannot appeal. Likewise, a Court of Appeals could overturn the entire conviction, he said, and force a new trial at which Kelch could be found not guilty. He also said a lot of the case against Kelch came from Cassidy Reynolds, the mother of his infant son. He was afraid that she would not be willing to testify against
Kelch when the time came. (She is facing charges in Grant County of assisting a criminal for allegedly helping Kelch evade police in the days after the murder and robbery.) Hartley also noted that under the state’s former sentencing system, Kelch would have been available for release about 22 years in prison. If McCallen imposed the complete 30 years for robbery, Kelch would have to serve 75 percent of the sentence under current standards. That, he said, is 22 ½ years. McCallen, also discussing the plea deal, said he remembers a murder case several years ago in which the defendant’s guilty plea was overturned. The case had a new trial and the person this time was found not guilty. “I remember looking out my window and watching him hug his girlfriend after he was released from the jail,” the judge said. Before pronouncing sentence, he did say he wasn’t going to give a long speech. “I just want you, over the next, well, we’ll get to that in a minute, spend every second, every moment, every hour of the day, I want you to be haunted by what you heard here today.”
Plea agreement withdrawn ...continued from the front page the money for restitution, but she has not been able to come up with the $5,000. He said she is unlikely to be able to raise the funds within 30 days, as someone
who was going to help her with the funding is currently undergoing an Internal Revenue Service audit and it wasn’t likely to be completed in that time.
Hartley requested the date be rescheduled for trial. “She’s had ample time to come up with the money,” he said. “I’m tired of excuses.”

WMI gives Eagles facade grant Payment of a $200,000 grant has been made from Wabash Marketplace Inc. to The Honeywell Foundation as it completes work on the façade of the historic Eagles Theatre. “This magnificent theatre makes a significant contribution to downtown Wabash,” Wabash M a rke t p l a c e President Dylan Reynolds said, “and we are grateful to the Foundation for assuring it will survive for generations to come.” The theatre is one of 22 downtown buildings that have received matching grant funds since 2015 for exterior restorations through Phase 2 of the Façade Improvement
Program managed by WMI. “This Program spurred a renaissance of renovation in downtown Wabash, fulfilling our objectives of improving the aesthetic qualities of building façades and public street, assisting property and business owners in rehabilitating the façades of their properties for the purpose of creating a positive visual impact, ensuring public safety, stimulating private investment, and complementing other community revitalization efforts,“ WMI Project Coordinator
Andrea Zwiebel said. The program was funded by $1.3 million provided by the City of Wabash and the City of W a b a s h Redevelopment Commission as a local match for the Wabash Stellar investment plan. “The funding provided by our local partners is critical to the success of this façade program,” WMI Executive Director Steve Downs said. “We deeply appreciate their support and are honored that they allowed us to manage the program.”

Atlas Excavating, Lafayette, bid $1,424,482 for the project, with an alternative bid of $32,665 less. I r o n c l a d Excavating, Roanoke, bid $1,102,913, with an alternative bid of
$10,241.17 less. W a t s o n Excavating, Redkey, bid $1,559,990, with an alternative bid of another $447,974 added.

Works and Safety meeting. He was sworn in earlier in the month, and had a ceremonial swearingin Monday night, Feb. 11, at the Wabash City Council meeting. Before being named building commissioner, Straws spent 30 years with the Indiana State Fire Marshal’s office. “The State Fire Marshal’s office, in 2006 when the Department of Homeland Security was created here in Indiana, they combined the building department, which was the State Plan Commissioners’ office, with the State Fire Marshal’s office and Emergency
the post. “It’s good to focus on one community rather than three counties,” he said. As building commissioner, Straws said he would like residents who are considering construction projects to first check with his office. “So many times we find people working without a permit or working without a design release from the State of Indiana,” he said. “Then there are fines and stuff involved from the state level, and I’d like to stop that at the local level. “If I could get the word out to folks that if you’re thinking about constructing,
Services and put us all under the Department of Homeland Security,” he explained. “When that happened, the office required building inspectors to become fire inspectors and fire inspectors to become building inspectors. “I’ve been doing both fire and building inspections for the past 12 years. I’ve been this area’s representative for the past eight years because I took care of Huntington, Wabash and Marion.” Over the years, Straws worked closely with Stephens, and when Stephens announced his plans to retire, Straws expressed interest in
contact the building department because we’d be glad to come out and help you out. We want to be a help, not hindrance. I don’t like the heavy handed approach to code enforcement, where people have this big book and they want to smack you in the head with it and hope you absorb it through osmosis. “I’ve always been an educator. I come to folks and talk to them in a calm and rational manner and explain to them how what they’re doing is wrong and how we can fix the problem. I’d rather solve the problems for the folks here in Wabash before it becomes a state issue.”

Park woes may have been misunderstanding By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A decade old problem faced by the City of Wabash may be resolved soon, largely because of what appears to be a giant misunderstanding. At least 10 years ago, the City of Wabash was chastised by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources because it built the Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center on land in Wabash City Park. The building, DNR officials contended, violated a grant agreement the city received from the
Land and Water Council in the 1970s to help make upgrades to the park. As part of the grant, the land had to be an open playground. The building of the senior center, officials believed, violated the agreement and the land the center is located on is considered “contaminated” because it isn’t being used as park land. Since then, the city has been trying to find a similar area – roughly five acres – to purchase and designate as park land, to make up for the land housing the senior center. However, Park

a variety of steps the city needed to take before making the purchase. It was during a follow-up telephone conversation that the misunderstanding was discovered. “We started talking about the senior center,” Hall said. “With his assumptions, they had always thought the senior center was privately owned, that it was kind of a place
like Vernon Manor where elderly people lived. “I told him that’s completely not the case. It’s city owned. It’s used for elderly people to have programs. It has a food pantry. … As I was discussing these things, his tone shifted and he said, ‘Oh.’” The DNR official plans to do some more research on the building and what is pro-
vided at the center. “Best case scenario,” Hall said, “all this goes away.” Basically, he continued, if a building is a closed structure, it has to benefit the park. “Even a maintenance building benefits the park,” he said. “If we can prove the senior center benefits the park – which it’s bringing elderly people in, it’s bringing
programs in, it’s bringing food – so not to get our hopes up, but I am, this could really be beneficial.” Even if the city must make some amends, Hall said, it could be less than what was previously required. Also, since the city is trying to mitigate the situation, it can now pursue various grants.
Wabash Little League offers financial assistance The Wabash Little League has received an anonymous donation to help provide financial aid to those youngsters whose families might not be able to afford player registration fees. “There are no requirements to receive financial assistance,” League President Bryan Dillon told The Paper of Wabash County. “We just need to know who might need help.”
The League’s goal, he said, is for the family to pay at least 50 percent of the player fees, with the scholarship fund paying the other 50 percent. The League fee is $80 for the first child
in a household, with additional children in the same household paying $40 each, or a 50 percent discount per child for two or more children. “We will work with anyone on a case-by-

Superintendent Adam Hall told the Wabash Board of Parks and Recreation on Feb. 13 that he had been in discussion with a DNR official, who realized the whole situation may have been a misunderstanding. Hall had shared plans for the city to purchase land with a DNR official to make sure things were being done properly. The official provided
the first time the League has been able to offer such a service. “If it were offered in the past, I am not aware,” said Dillon, now in his fifth year as League president. “Since I have been Little League president, we have not officially offered a scholarship program. However, we have never turned any child away because of financial need.” He said he believes about a dozen individuals have indicated they would need to use the scholarship fund this year. The League has posted the information on its Facebook page, its website and on its online registration process there is a check box for financial assistance. Those who need assistance can also send the League an email or contact officials through Facebook Messenger. The League’s email is wabashlittleleague1953@gmail .com.

MSD approves design and fee proposal for HS upgrades
The MSD of Wabash County School board approved a fee of roughly $66,000 to proceed with getting quotes for aesthetic approvals to both Northfield and Southwood high schools at Tuesday’s board meeting. Adam Weesner from Barton-CoeVilamaa Architects and Engineers was on hand to take the board through the different scenarios of what such a renovation project would look like. The project would have a base bid project cost of roughly $630,000 per school, with an alternative bid total of approximately $724,000 per school. The renovations call for mostly paint and flooring updates. The goal is to stay around $1.6 million for the entire project, A s s i s t a n t Superintendent of Finance Chris Kuhn said. “This is an estimate; it’s definitely not a hard number,”
Weesner said. “It’s an estimate based on what we have seen lately. We also included in those numbers a 10 percent soft cost to cover other things like furniture and our fees.” One other aspect discussed with the renovations is the creation of collaborative media arts rooms within the libraries to help students who need to work on projects that require quiet for audio recordings and the like. The board also approved a Food to School Interlocal C o o p e r a t i o n Agreement, which will give the corporation potentially more buying power and money saving measures as it buys items in bulk. And, the board approved the creation of a clay target shooting team. It was explained that 25 students and three staff members showed interest at a recent call-out meeting, and that practices could be held at Bass and Bucks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Near the end of the meeting, board chair Todd Dazey notified
those in attendance that he had been in contact with Dr. Steve Yager regarding anything else coming out of Yager’s study. “I would like to respond to public comment. I’m sorry that Mr. Cooper (the gentlemen who raised the question) is not here. He’s been here a couple times to ask the question, but I hope he’s at home watching the Facebook feed,” Dazey said. “Since our last board meeting, I did get an opportunity to call Dr. Yager to follow up on what we’ve talked about before. He confirmed that he held nothing back, and told us everything that he had to say at the Honeywell meeting and the individual interviews. He also said there would be nothing beneficial about having any additional presentations. “So, at this point we should consider that study complete and turn the page as we develop our vision for MSD for the next three to five to 10 years. We are committed to doing the best thing for everyone,
and make sure that we consider all options to continue to move our district forward in a positive direction.” MSD teacher Carl Pace was nominated for the staff spotlight for his excellent communication skills with parents and students. The board also: —Approved the hiring of Dana Bosteter as a custodian at S o u t h w o o d Eelementary. —Approved the hiring of Suzanne Bechtold as a three hour cook at S o u t h w o o d Elementary. —Approved the hiring of Rocky France as the junior high wrestling coach at Northfield. — Approved the following coaches at Southwood for the spring season: Warren Dailey, head baseball; Dalton Gentry, assistant baseball; David Glick, assistant baseball; Cory Blocker, assistant baseball; E.J.

River Defenders proposes steps near River Trail campsite By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A set of steps leading from the Wabash River to the campsites along the River Trail may be coming in the near future. The Wabash Board of Parks and Recreation on Wednesday, Feb. 13, gave the Wabash River Defenders permission to begin pursing the proper permits from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to install such steps. “It’s been talked about the last couple years,” Park Superintendent Adam Hall said. One year it was delayed because the river was too high. Other concerns, he continued, were DNR involvement and the availability of building material. River Defenders
representative Keith Poole approached Hall about trying the project again this year. “They have some additional funds that could go toward something like this,” Hall said. “They know DNR has to be involved. They’re willing to front all that, to make all the contacts. Basically they’re just asking to proceed and try to get some steps.” The steps would allow those with canoes a chance to get out of the river at the campsite, which is located near the Wabash Elks deck, instead of having to go down to the boat ramp near Carroll Street and walk back. The River Defenders aren’t looking to disturb a lot of ground, Hall said. It would be enough to place the blocks on the bank. The city might
clean off the steps during the year, but like it does at the boat ramp. “But there are people on the River Defenders who wouldn’t hesitate to do that either,” Hall said. “It shouldn’t be too hard to go down there once a month and make sure silt is off it.” Board president Brian Campbell suggested that River Defender representatives return to the board “if DNR doesn’t have some kind of stringent plans for this” to inform the board of what its plans entail.

LAPORTE – Its game plan working to near perfection through three and a half quarters, Northfield’s girls basketball team found itself down just three, 35-32, with 3:03 to play in Saturday’s Class A North Semistate with Marquette Catholic. H o w e v e r , Marquette began to wear down the Lady Norse down the stretch, finishing the game on a 12-0 run to take a 47-32 victory led by senior twins Sophia Nolan and Emma Nolan. “The twins pretty much took over,” Northfield coach Melissa Allen said. “They’re good players.” Sophia Nolan poured in a game high 26 points, including 10 points in a crucial stretch in the fourth where Marquette was able to put the game on ice. Northfield stayed close to the No. 1ranked Lady Blazers (26-2) throughout, trailing 8-6 at the end of the first quarter, 19-16 at the half, and 29-27 at the end of the third quarter. “The girls came out and did everything we asked of them.” Allen said. “They played hard. They fought the entire time. They never once gave up. They gave it everything they had.” Marquette went on a 9-0 run to jump ahead 15-6 on an Emma Nolan post bucket. But, Northfield’s Ariel Dale responded with a pair of 3-pointers from the corner to pull the No. 4-ranked Lady Norse within three at 15-12 with 3:10 left in the second. Addi Baker added a post bucket to make it 17-16, but Sophia Nolan answered with a deuce underneath of her own to give the Lady Blazers a 19-16 halftime lead. Marquette built a six-point lead down the stretch in the third quarter, but a jumper from Kyra Kennedy and a pair of free throws from
Kelcie Thomson pulled Northfield within two, 29-27, heading into the fourth quarter. The Lady Blazers again jumped ahead by five on a pair of free throws from Sophia Nolan, but Thomson responded with a two underneath. Sophia Nolan then took over, with backto-back post buckets and a pair of free throws to open up a nine-point lead at 4132, and Northfield never recovered. Northfield finishes with the year with a 25-3 record, and won county and conference championships. The Lady Norse’s sectional championship was their first since 1980, and their regional title was the program’s first since 1978. “We couldn’t have asked for a better season,” Allen said. “They were able to mark so many goals off of their list. All of them – they’re just one big family. Seeing them like that in the locker room like that (after the game), it’s hard.” Dale led Northfield with 11 points, while Kennedy added eight and Baker contributed six. Thomson added five points and Ally Keaffaber chipped in two. Northfield will say goodbye to five seniors in Abbey Ross, Dale, Keaffaber, Thomson and Melanie Beery. Allen said she will miss “everything” about her seniors. “I’ve been with then since seventh grade,’ she said. “It

WHS’ Shemwell to play soccer at Anderson U By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash High School senior Blayze Shemwell signed a letter of intent on Thursday, Feb. 14, to continue his education and soccer career at Anderson University. Shemwell, a goalie for the Apache boys soccer team, is the first Wabash student to sign to play soccer in college. He said his visit to the university is what made him decide to attend that institution. “I really enjoy being there, especially with it being a small college,” he told The Paper of Wabash County following the signing ceremony in the Wabash High School conference room. “I enjoy the atmosphere. “I really, really enjoy being
able to know everybody and talk to everybody. “I really enjoy talking to the coaches; they’re really good people. I really enjoyed the university once I got there.” Shemwell, in two years with the Apache team, appeared in goal 27 times and posted 10 wins and three shutouts. He had 188 saves, with a 73 percent save percentage. Coach Bill Benysh said perhaps Shemwell’s best game was the 2017 Sectional contest against Blackhawk Christian in which he had 17 saves. “I’m really proud of him,” Benysh said. “This is a young man who came out to play soccer as a junior; he had never played before. He just distinguished himself with his work ethic. He picked up things so quickly.
“He went on as a senior to be one of the leaders in the conference in saves and goals against average. He’s just an impressive young man who really dedicated himself.” Anderson Univesity posted a 6-10-2 overall record in 2018, and a 35-1 mark in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. The Ravens play in the same conference as Manchester University. Shemwell said he hopes to one day become a leader on the team. “I hope I can lead the team and I hope I can become the goalkeeper they need,” he said. “I just want to do the best I can for that team and hopefully lead it to some awards and titles they haven’t had.” He plans to study business management at Anderson.

Blues Brothers Revue returns to Honeywell Center By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty will be returning to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater stage on Friday night, Feb. 22. If you don’t recognize their real names, perhaps their stage names – Jake and Elwood Blues – will ring a bell. The pair will be returning to Wabash with The Blues Brothers Revue, a tribute act which has received the seal of approval from Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi’s widow, Judy Belushi. Aykroyd and Belushi developed the characters as part of a Saturday Night Live skit in the late 1970s. Catania told The Paper of Wabash County that the number of dates the pair performs each year varies.
“Every year it’s kind of different,” he said. “It’s what we do for a living. We tour quite a bit. We’ve had a couple years there where we’ve done almost 220 shows per year, but it always changes. It varies between 100 or 200 shows, maybe 150 shows, something like that. It averages out.” The pair, which performs classic blues numbers, has a wide range of material to choose from. “There’s quite a bit of material to go through, and you can only perform so much in an evening,” Catania said. “It’s such great material. It’s never easy. There are certain songs that, you know, Blues Brothers fans would be disappointed if they weren’t in the show.” Those songs include “Sweet Home
Chicago,” “Soul Man,” “Give Me Some Loving” and “Rawhide.” “We never ever get sick of playing them” Catania said. “It’s such great music. It’s such an honor to play this music. “It’s the American songbook, you know. We’re just lucky to be playing.” Catania said he enjoyed “The Blues Brothers” movie, but never foresaw himself as taking on the Joliet Jake persona as a career. “I was a musician, personally, and so was Kieron Lafferty,” he said. “He is a wellestablished harmonica and vocalist, singer as well. I was a drummer in a band and with some recording acts and what not. “I liked the movie and that, but I never really thought about this until it happened.

I couldn’t be happier.” Because he is a musician, he generally missed the Akyroyd-Belushi act on “Saturday Night Live.” “Usually on Saturday nights I was playing a lot of clubs as a drummer, so I never really got to see SNL,” Catania said. “I just heard about it because Saturday night, you’re usually working in a club. It’s your busiest night of the week back then. “But I heard about it through people in
the clubs. I heard about it through ‘do you know who you look like’?” One of the things that makes the act successful is the camaraderie Catania and Lafferty have. “We’ve been doing this so long,” Catania said. “We originally found the position because we ended up getting called to an audition in Chicago for a stage show that Judy and Dan were putting together called ‘Blues Brothers
Revival.’ As it turns out we’ve got the audition. “We’ve been working with them and learning about the characters. Keiron and myself were doing ‘Legends in Concerts’ prior to that. It kind of grew in our camaraderie and just how we are on stage. “It’s just a natural progression, because we worked with Judy and Dan all this time and learned about the characters and all
what makes them tick. We can take that and as actors, that grows within you. It was a natural fit and we just sort of clicked. “As we age it gets more natural.” The Blues Brothers Revue takes to the Ford Theater stage at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22. Tickets are $19, $29 and $55 and are available at the Honeywell Center Box Office, by calling 260-563-1102 or by visiting honywellcenter.org.
YMCA receives state grant By The Paper of Wabash County Indiana’s Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning today awarded 22 grants from the School-Age Child Care Project Fund to school corporations and nonprofit organizations that offer care to school-age children.
The grants, which total more than $1.53 million through the 2020 - 2021 school years, went to 22 public school corporations or nonprofit organizations that offer care to schoolage children (ages 5 through 14), before or after the school day and when school is not in session. The Wabash
County YMCA received $80,000 — $40,000 per year in 2020 and 2021. The recipients were chosen from a competitive field and represent 41 schoolage child care sites in 14 Indiana counties. “One of the challenges that working families face every day is knowing that
their children are being cared for in a safe and enriching environment even outside of regular school hours,” said OECOSL Director Nicole Norvell. “We are pleased to support working families through these grants, and provide necessary resources to help these highquality programs.”

NORTH MANCHESTER — After 86 years of serving the North Manchester community, a local legacy will be no more. In a letter sent out to “valued customers, friends and neighbors,” Harting Furniture Gallery announced they will soon be going out of business. In the letter, Harting Furniture expressed its thanks to its customers. “After serving the good people of North Manchester and the surrounding communities, we would
like to say ‘thank you’ for your many years of loyal patronage,” the letter stated. In a press release, owner Von Harting said, “it was a difficult decision to close the store, which was established in 1933 by (my) grandfather Harry and his father, Byron.” Through three generations, the family owned and operated Harting Furniture Gallery. Harting Furniture invited special preferred customers to an early sale that ran Feb. 7-11 with additional discounts off the already going out of business prices. H a r t i n g Furniture’s going-
out-of-business sale begins Thursday, Feb. 14 at the corner of state roads 13 and 114 in North Manchester. The building that has been home to Harting Furniture since 1980 is for sale. “On behalf of the Harting Family, and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all our customers, as well as our beloved community,” Harting said. Harting Furniture has yet to announce a final closing date. For more information on the liquidation and building, contact the store at 260-982-2184.

Academy of St. Martin in the Program to look at Fields to perform at Honeywell intellectual disabilities By The Paper staff The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, featuring pianist Jeremy Denk, is making a stop in Wabash to perform at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater as part of its 60th Anniversary Tour across the nation. The concert will take place on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 7:30 p.m. This performance is part of the Wabash Valley Music Association Series and is presented by Parkview Wabash Hospital. Tickets are $58, $45 and $35. The Academy of St Martin in the Fields is one of the world’s greatest chamber orchestra, renowned for fresh, brilliant interpretations of the world’s greatest classical music. Formed by Sir Neville Marriner in 1958 from a group of leading London musicians, the Academy gave its first performance in its namesake church in November 1959. Through unrivalled live performances and a vast recording
output – highlights of which include the 1969 best-seller “Vivaldi’s Four Seasons” and the soundtrack to the Oscar-winning film “Amadeus” – the Academy quickly gained an enviable international reputation for its distinctive, polished and refined sound. Denk is one of America’s foremost pianists. Winner of a M a c A r t h u r “ G e n i u s ” Fellowship, and the Avery Fisher Prize, he was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Denk returns frequently to Carnegie Hall and in recent seasons has appeared with the Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Los A n g e l e s Philharmonic, San F r a n c i s c o Symphony, and C l e v e l a n d Orchestra, as well as on tour with Academy of St Martin in the Fields, and at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms. His orchestral high-
lights include playdirecting Mozart with the Toronto Symphony, and on tour throughout the US with Academy of St Martin in the Fields. He also returns to the Atlanta and C o l o r a d o Symphonies, and continues his work as artistic partner with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, opening the season directing Beethoven 5 from the keyboard. Today the Academy is led by Music Director and virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell, retaining the collegiate spirit and flexibility of the original small, conductor-less
ensemble which has become an Academy hallmark. Under Bell’s direction, and with the support of leader/director Tomo Keller and principal guest Conductor Murray Perahia, the Academy continues to push the boundaries of play-directed performance to new heights, presenting symphonic repertoire and chamber music on a grand scale at prestigious venues from New York to Beijing. Tickets may be purchased online at www.honeywellcenter.org or by calling the Honeywell Foundation Box Office at 260-563-1102.
From the MU News Bureau
NORTH MANCHESTER — What, exactly, does it mean to be intelligent? A film showing in March at M a n c h e s t e r University follows an artist in Boston who dreams of art school and college, a Rhode Island woman from Haiti who is learning to work in a hair salon, and a New York college student who wants to become an advocate for those with disabilities. In the not-so-distant past, such possibilities would be unheard of for those labeled with having intellectual disabilities. D a n Habib’s Intelligent
Lives will be shown at 6 p.m., Monday, March 11, at the Fort Wayne campus of M a n c h e s t e r University, 10627 Die bold Road, and 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 12 in the Jo Young Switzer Center on the North Manchester campus. The film highlights the skill sets, personalities and challenges faced by the three individuals classified as having intellectual disabilities. It also takes a hard look at IQ testing in the United States, which includes policies that have been shown to put immigrants and minorities at a disadvantage. After the film, David Buuck, executive director of CASS
Housing in Fort Wayne and a member of the Northeast Indiana Disability A s s o c i a t i o n Coalition, will speak about the issues involved and how the landscape continues to change.

Delicate doll fragments gain new life in exhibit at Manchester From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — As a child, Ejenobo “Jena” Oke loved to read books by Enid Blyton, an author who spun tales of nurseries full of toys that came alive when the children left the room, toys that clearly felt the physical imprint of their contact with children, both caring and careless. She was forever trying to rescue toys – fix them, love them,
give them a home. These days, Oke still collects doll fragments and gives them new life in ceramic and fiber art works. The works of Oke, M a n c h e s t e r University associate professor of art and a 1997 Manchester graduate, will be on display from Feb. 21April 1 in Gallery G of the Jo Young Switzer Center. Viewing hours for “(Still) Playing with Dolls …” are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and
noon to 3 p.m. Sundays when classes are in session. It is free and open to the public, as is a reception with the artist 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25. “I continue to collect (and to be fascinated) by things used and used up, by objects broken, discarded, and physically affected by their contact with humans,” Oke said. “These things I add to my collections in the studio, never really knowing how these disparate
objects will come together to make sense. When they do, I am moved by how these delicate fragments can embody strength, resilience, and tenderness at the same time.” The North Manchester resident is best known as a fiber artist. Her works range from loom-controlled weavings to batik quilts to sculptures that incorporate ceramics, paper, felt and basketry materials. A Nigerian-
American, she moved with her family to the United States in 1987. Oke received her bachelor’s degree in art from Manchester, and Master of Fine Arts degrees from Norfolk State and Old Dominion universities. She returned to Manchester in 2006 and teaches courses in studio art and art history. Oke also serves as the director of galleries and chair of the Department of Art at MU.

Deadline set for Self-Reliance program By The Paper staff Dates have been set for the 2019 Midwest Eye Consultants SelfReliance Awards. Applications and instructions are currently being distributed to guidance counselors at each of the county’s high schools. High school seniors may also go online to fill out an application at www.midwesteyeconsultants.com/selfreliance. Applicants will need to have their applications completed and returned to their guidance counselor
by Wednesday, March 6, 2019. The county-wide awards program is sponsored and funded by Midwest Eye Consultants and administered by the Kiwanis Club. The awards honor seniors who have exhibited self-reliance to achieve personal and educational goals. Self-reliance may involve overcoming difficult life circumstances or it may result in using initiative to establish projects that benefit their community or the global community. This year Midwest
Eye Consultants is proud to provide each of the four recipients with a cash award of $2,000. The Wabash Kiwanis Club coordinates and conducts the selection process by reviewing the applications, interviewing the finalists, and organizing the awards presentation. Except for children of Kiwanis members and children of Midwest Eye Consultants’ employees, all high school seniors in Wabash County are eligible to compete.
