Wabash man charged with murder By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

MARION – A Wabash man was charged with murder in the death of a Grant County man. Waylon Sadler, 31, Wabash, is being held at Grant County Jail following the death of James L. Zook Jr., 55, Marion. He does not have any bond because of a parole violation from a previous outstanding Wabash County warrant. Formal charges against Sadler were filed Friday afternoon. The Marion Police Department was alerted to

the death after Shannon Collins, Zook’s daughter and Sadler’s girlfriend, called 911 on Tuesday. According to the official report, at approximately 6:38 a.m., Collins called 911 to request that the MPD respond to AutoZone Automotive located at 901 South Baldwin Ave. The call was in reference to a male subject – later identified as Sadler – causing damage to a vehicle, according to the report. Officers arrived at AutoZone and met with Collins who then began speaking about conducting mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a

male subject – later identified as her father, Zook – who was located at a residence at 2031 W. 9th St. in Marion. Officers then responded to the residence to find Zook unresponsive within the home. Medical personnel on scene checked for Zook’s vitals and pronounced him dead at 7:05 a.m. According to the autopsy report released Wednesday Jan. 13, the Grant County Coroner Chris Butche reported that Zook’s cause of death was a result of a “punctured jugular vein (continued on page 3)

Two City Schools board members to resign

City fails to make the cut for ABC contest By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Just weeks after being reappointed by the Wabash City Council and assuming positions with the Wabash City Schools board, Bill Konyha and Matt Bruss have submitted their resignations. Superintendent Jason Callahan, in a news release issued Saturday, Jan. 16, announced that the school board was to meet on Tuesday, Jan. 19, to accept the resignation and approve replacements for the pair. The board was notified that their appointments could likely fall within the prohibition of holding two lucrative positions as defined in the Dual Office Holders Guide prepared by the Indiana Attorney General, Callahan said in the release. Konyha was beginning his third term on the board, while Bruss had just finished his first term. Konyha is the former President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, and is now executive director of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA). Bruss is the Wabash Police Department’s assistant chief and has been tabbed by Mayor Scott Long to be the new chief when current chief Larry Schnepp retires later this year. Konyha told The Paper of Wabash County that when he agreed to join OCRA, he underwent reference and background checks, which included police (continued on page 2)

County well represented at 27th FW Farm Show By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com FORT WAYNE – Farm equipment of every size, shape and color lined the floors of the Fort Wayne Memorial Coliseum last week during the 27th annual Fort Wayne Farm Show. Some 30,000 people were expected to attend the three-day event, considered to be the largest in the area. The show allows ag-related businesses to show off all the newest products they have, ranging from ordinary garden hoes to seeds, tractors and other farm machinery. Also present were a variety of ag lenders as well as those firms dealing with the sale of farmland. What made this year’s show more special is that it is the first time that it took place in the newly expanded Coliseum. The expansion made room for more to attend. Around 1,100 booths were on display, including about 100 new exhibitors this year. There were many firms with ties to Wabash County. Among the new exhibitors was Metzger Property Services of North Manchester. Owner Chad Metzger said his company has been on a waiting list for a few years, waiting

For more photos from the 27th annual Fort Wayne Farm Show, see Pages 8-9 for a spot in the show to open. He said he wanted to be involved in the show because the farming industry overlaps with his business quite a bit, which sells, among other things farmland and farming equipment at auction. While Metzger is a first-time exhibitor at the Farm Show, the Wabash firm Agro-Chem could be found in the same spot it has occupied all 27 years of the show. Mark Peas, who oversees in-house sales for the family-owned business, said he enjoys attending the event because it helps to give the company more exposure. He also said it is a way to meet new customers and greet long-standing customers, as well as a way to show what is up-in-coming in (continued on page 3)

Officials from the America’s Best Communities (ABC) competition named 15 communities that advanced into the semifinals on Wednesday morning, Jan. 13. Wabash did not make the cut. Last year, 138 applications representing 347 communities were submitted by the competition’s March 25 deadline. On April 29, Wabash was named among 50 communities as a quarterfinalist in the competition. Since then, ABC Wabash’s steering committee developed the “Dream big. Be big.” campaign, which planned projects to submit to the competition and exhibited Wabash’s positive aspects in a series of videos developed by Green Hat Productions. While representatives of the local committee admit there is some disappointment in not advancing, this is not a loss. “I’m disappointed that we didn’t advance obviously,” Mayor Scott Long told The Paper of Wabash County on Wednesday, “but the team we have in place will drive the projects that were under the America’s Best Communities veil.” Christine Flohr, committee member and the Visitors Wabash County executive director, said that she does not feel disappointed or down about the news. “Any time a community comes together to work on securing any sort of grant award or financial prize cash money is a win for a community,” she explained. “It’s just another reason why our com(continued on page 3)

Two City Schools board members to resign... continued from the front page and credit checks. “During the financial disclosure portion of the process I disclosed my participation on the Wabash City Schools Board,” he said. “I had already done so verbally. The Ethics Officer (General Council) reviewed my status with the school board and found no conflicts. “Subsequent to my reappointment Mayor Elect Long indicated that someone had complained about my holding dual ‘lucrative’ offices. I advised that the Ethics Officer had already vetted this issue. After he was

sworn in he contacted me again and advised that the issue had been raised again by a council person and asked if I would provide the ethics opinion in writing.” Konyha said he contacted the newly appointed Ethics Officer and asked for a review and written opinion. “He reviewed the statutes and my situation and once again provided me a written opinion that there was no conflict,” Konyha continued. “This I provided to now Mayor Long. “However, as I have

always been very careful about ethics issues I also contacted a private attorney on vacation and asked his office to review this s p e c i f i c situation. They did so and provided me with the Attorney Generals document regarding Lucrative Positions by Office Holders. On page 13 of 22 of Appendix A school boards were included.” Konyha said he immediately contacted the mayor and sent him the new information and advised that he would resign immediately. He also contacted Callahan to sub-

mit his resignation, and alerted him to a possible conflict for Bruss. “I really do not know why the issue came up when it did, but that is not really relevant,” Konyha said. “I have always lived by the phrase ‘Character Counts and Integrity Matters.’ “Accordingly there was nothing that I could do other than resign.” Callahan, in the news release, said he will recommend the board accept the two resignations. “I make this recommendation with a heavy heart,” Callahan said. “Both Mr. Konyha and Mr. Bruss are champions of Wabash, the value of educational attainment, and of our children. They have been instrumental in our

child is college and career ready for success in a global community.” Normally, the Wabash City Council appoints members to the board. However, Callahan said, Wabash City Schools Board is responsible for appointing board replacements for the remainder of the current terms. Konyha told The Paper that he recommended two potential candidates “whom I believe would do a very good job.” He declined to name them, saying “out of respect for them and the remaining board and administration, it is not appropriate for me to identify those whom I recommended.” He did say the two he recommended were “people who under-

stand the need to continue on the path that we are on, working to build a world class educational institution in order to make Wabash an attractive place to live.” “Today quality of place is the single most important factor in attracting and retaining a quality workforce,” he continued. “The workforce has become the primary attraction for businesses as they contemplate expansion. “I remain committed to Wabash and I will do all that I can to assist whenever possible. I am truly committed to continuing our efforts to make Wabash County schools as competitive as we can in order to provide the best education possible for our children.” Bruss was unavailable for comment.

Attorney David Gibbs III will be speaking at Emmanuel Free Will Baptist Church on Sunday, January 24 at 9:30am, 10:30am, and 6pm. The church is located at 129 Southwood Dr. Wabash, IN. The public is invited.

County well represented at 27th FW Farm Show... continued from the front page the business. Agro-Chem had on display a sprayer, as well as other pieces of equipment the company offers. Peas said the most noticeable difference in the Fort Wayne show over the years is the tremendous growth it has seen. He believes the expansion will be good for the show, noting that in past years the aisles had people standing

shoulder-to-shoulder. This year there was more room to move about and a better chance to view the various displays. Another longtime exhibitor, AgVenture McKillip Seeds was among the companies with booths in the new show area. Like Agro-Chem, the company has had a display at the show since its beginnings. Todd McKillip, a company director

and AgVenture yield specialist, called the show a public relations event for the company. “It’s another way to keep in touch with our customers,” he said. “It’s good to see the customers and learn what they’ve been doing throughout the year. “It’s also a way to help them with their crop plans and to receive seed orders.” Zahm Trailer Sales

from Huntington County, also has had a display at the show since its early days. “It’s a great show for us,” sales representative Bill Zahm told The Paper of Wabash County. It allows the company to show off new products, he said. On display this year was a CornPro hydraulic dovetail trailer. On top of the trailer were other products that the company

offers, including a smaller trailer. “We usually try to bring something new in each year,” Zahm said. Wabash County wasn’t only represented among the exhibitors. Quite a few local residents could be found wandering through the Coliseum, looking at the various displays. North Manchester residents Dennis and Annette Ayres were

among those at the show on Wednesday, Jan. 13. The couple has come to the show many years, Ayres said, noting that his wife often helped staff a booth. “He enjoys looking at the equipment,” Mrs. Ayres said of her husband. Both said that the show has grown tremendously since its early days. “There’s more

equipment,” Ayres said, “and more and more new technology.” H a n k ’ s Construction owner Hank Eilts also was among those in attendance on Wednesday. He said he comes every year and, like others, said the show has grown tremendously throughout the years.

munity continues to succeed because we don’t put limits on ourselves. “So my feeling right now is a sense of accomplishment, that once again we worked hard and we pulled together to promote, to grow, to develop our city. America’s Best Communities was an opportunity. It was an opportunity

that didn’t work out for us, but that’s not going to slow us down from reaching our goals.” There were multiple positive outcomes to competing in the ABC program, according to Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County president and CEO.

Wabash man charged with murder... continued from the front page and fractured trachea.” The MPD stated that foul play is suspect in the death of Zook and a homicide investigation is being conducted. Officers then gathered information on scene that the alleged suspect Sadler fled the area southbound on foot. At approximately 12:42 p.m. on Tuesday, Capt. John Kauffman observed an individual matching Sadler’s description while conducting routine patrols in the 2000 block of North Wabash Ave. The individual made eye contact with Kauffman, according to the report, and began to flee the area on foot. Kauffman identified the individual as

Sadler and gave pursuit. Sadler attempted to hide in a nearby residence, but was apprehended and placed in custody with the assistance of the Grant County Sheriff ’s Department, according to the report.

Upon interviewing Collins, Sadler was originally charged with felony battery resulting in serious bodily injury, felony confinement and felony intimidation in conjunction with the ongoing homicide investigation.

So we’ll figure out a way to get them done. “At the end of the day, it is disappointing that we didn’t get selected but on the same token, we’re going to keep moving forward.” Something the community cannot lose sight of, Long said, is that “we made it into the top 50 in the

Several things will be changing, as the new council feels it is best for the Town of LaFontaine. A new employee handbook will be drawn up and followed. The Council has made a change in how they will organize the meetings. Anyone whom has a thought, idea, question or complaint must turn that in to the town clerk or a board member on or before Wednesday before the second Monday night of the month. These will be compiled on Thursday morning and in the council member’s hands by Thursday evening. This way the council has knowledge of and hopefully a resolution for it at the council meeting on Monday night. The council is requiring that the town have this; as well as minutes of the previous meetings and a flow sheet of income and expenses by Thursday evening, so it can be well prepared for the meeting and can make the meeting more transparent for the community.

Roann library kicks off centennial celebration By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

ROANN – Residents here kicked off the Roann Paw Paw Township Public Library’s centennial celebration on Saturday with an open house in the facility. While the library

actually opened in 1914, it wasn’t until 1916 that work on the Arts and Crafts Style building at the corner of Chippewa and Pike streets started, thanks to funding from Andrew Carnegie. Library Director Joy Harber noted that the celebration will continue throughout the year,

with different activities planned each month. “In February we’re going to have a coloring contest for the kids,” she said. “There will be a Lego contest for the older kids, and they’re going to try to build the front façade of the library. “In March, I think we’re going to do some reprints of some books that have been printed throughout the years of Roann area history. In May we’re going to dedicate a World War I flag that was found here in the library. We’re going to do that during the Roann Community Heritage meeting. “We’re kind of planning as we go.” Martha Van Buskirk was the driving force behind opening the library, and served as its director from 19141918. According to the library history, Van Buskirk began making inquiries about receiving a grant from the Carnegie Corporation in 1913. Under Carnegie guidelines, a library must have been functioning in the community, so a public library opened in the Roann school with books donated by town residents and on loan from the Indiana State Library. Shelves were built by Roann school students. Land was purchased

for the future library building in July 1915, according to the history, and township residents agreed to a Library Tax for maintenance of the facility. On Jan. 16, 1914, the Wabash Circuit Court legally determined the establishment of the Roann library, the history continues, and the Carnegie Corporation awarded the library a $10,000 grant. The building’s cornerstone was laid in 1916 and opened to the public in Aug. 3, 1918. Van Buskirk’s greatgranddaughters, Priscilla (Van Buskirk) Burdge and Ellie (Van Buskirk) Draper, and great-great-granddaughter, Barb Burdge, a library board member, were among those at Saturday’s celebration. “I think she was an educated woman, and she wanted to perpetuate that in this small town,” Priscilla Burdge said of her g re at - g r a n d m o t h e r. “Her husband was the banker, so they were permanent citizens.” Draper, who has read through family papers, said “it just sounds like she saw a need in the community (for the library) and apparently was a visionary.” “But I also think, that according to these notes and reading her speech that she gave on the dedication day, that she was a person to get up and go,” Draper continued. “Nothing was going to stop her. She had to persevere for about four years from the time they actually started. “I think she was very dedicated to the community.”

Priscilla (Van Buskirk) Burdge (left) and Barb Burdge, great-granddaughter and great-great-granddaughter of Martha Van Buskirk, the person who was the driving force behind locating a library in Roann, look over some library memorabilia during Saturday’s open house. In addition to being Mrs. Van Buskirk’s great-great-granddaughter, Barb Burdge also is a member of the library board. The three women said they were proud of their family’s involvement in the creation of the building. Another board member, Holly Kendall, said the facility is “not only a library, and one of the increasingly rare small libraries that still thrive, but it’s also kind of a community center.” Indeed, it is. The basement of the original building serves as a community room that can be rented out for things such as baby or bridal showers, club meetings and other celebrations. There is a small stage in the room that, Kendall noted, once served as the setting for various productions from the Roann school. A few feet down the hall, in the basement of an addition added to the facility in 2004, is the Indiana Room. It serves as a sort of a historical museum,

housing old photos and memorabilia from the town, including the original shelving built by Roann school students more than 100 years ago. The facility, Kendall said, is fulfilling its purpose. “Most importantly it’s keeping the love of reading alive,” she said. “We get a lot of children who come. We have the computers.

We have the videos and DVDs that people can borrow, so we offer a wide variety of services.” The facility also offers a public WiFi that allows the public to hook up their laptops or tablets to the Internet. “And while they’re here,” Kendall continued, “maybe they’ll see something else that they are interested in.”

Urbana Lions help with memorial project at NHS Art room receives new lighting By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A contribution from the Urbana Lions Club to the Northfield High School Art Department is helping the spirit of a late NHS graduate live on. The Lions donated $1,000 to the art department to help it finish raising the $2,000 needed to revamp the track lighting in the school’s art room. The donation was made in memory of Vanessa Baer, a 2002 Northfield graduate and art student who was killed in a September 2005 airplane crash in rural that claimed three other people. “It brings tears to my eyes as I type this,” Northfield art teacher Kelly Schuler told The Paper of Wabash County in an email, “as I can see Vanessa still in my mind as she worked in this room, and her bubbly personality, smile and freckles filled the space she was in.” The lights, Schuler wrote, “created a whole new atmosphere for all in the art room, and all students in grades seven to twelve from here forward will be impacted.” Schuler, in an interview with The Paper, said the lights are something that the students now expect to be turned on every day. “The kids will ask me, like if I don’t have them on and I have the regular lights on, they’ll ask, ‘Can we turn on – they call them dramatic lights or special lights?”

Art teacher Lynne Keffaber noted they also refer to them as “mood lights.” The lights, she said, help to cast more shadows when the students are working on still life projects. Before the tract lights were installed, the teachers used hog lights, which are generally used to light hog barns. “We would have to run extension cords all over the place,” Schuler said, and Keffaber noted that the lights were clamped into place. There were problems with the old system, they noted, nonethe-lease of which were the cords run throughout the room. “Then one might get moved and that changes all the highlights and shadows if the light isn’t at the same angle and in the same direction of what they were working on the day before,” Schuler said. The new lights cost $2,000, some of which the students raised with a Port-a-Pit chicken dinner. Schuler’s father, Larry Hoover, donated supplies and labor through his business, Quality Electric. The lights were installed in October. The Lions Club raised the money at a golf outing. In addition to the Northfield project, the club used money for the Wilbur Dawes college scholarship fund, and for helping in the upkeep and maintenance of the Urbana ball field and the Urbana Community Building. “Other teachers have even commented that as they pass by in the hall and see a little glimpse through the window they want to be able to come in here and work because it just looks

ect in here, that all of the students would be impacted by it.” The teachers shared Baer’s story with all the classes, and they plan to continue to do that in the future. “We’ve told each of the classes the story of why these are here, and a little bit about Vanessa,” Schuler said. “And we’ve already had some new seventh and eighth grade classes that weren’t in here when they were put of in the fall, so I told those classes. “Part of it just breaks my heart that we had this project,” she continued. “But at

the same time we’re very grateful and we tried to be very thoughtful in what we could do.” “I think it’s a great thing,” Keffaber said, “because it will last, so I think it’s a great thing for her memory.” The students also know the importance of the memorial. “When you see the lights it also makes us think of Vanessa Baer and how grateful we are for the donating of the money to the project,” Kandra Stout said. “May Vanessa always be remembered in this room.”

Northfield Jr.-Sr. High School students work on projects illuminated by the new track lights in the facility’s art room. Photo provided

like a wonderful place to be,” Schuler said. The students also enjoy the new lighting system. “I think the lights give off a great reminder of how much art can change someone’s life,” Braelyn Deeter said. “Not only must Vanessa have loved art, but obvioulsy others knew she loved it and reflected that by donating to her art class. “The lights give a great feel of being in a real art studio.” Travis Corn likened the lights to those used in a college studio. “The lights are nice over the pottery lights because it gives you the sense of being in

your own world and it cancels out all distractions,” he said. Attie Schuler also likened it to something she learned at a college workshop. “I went to a college art studio for a workshop once, and the professor told me how important it was to have good lighting and how much it added to a piece,” she said. “Now that the spotlights have been put in the art room, it feels so much like a college studio, and I’m excited to use the lights to observe and draw still life.” Schuler and Keffaber thanked the Urbana Lions and Quality Electric for their donations. Schuler said the

teachers debated various projects, “and we just really felt like having a lasting proj-

Four new assistant fire chiefs take office By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Four new assistant fire chiefs received their oaths of office on Monday, Jan. 11, from Mayor Scott Long. The four – Kent Mullett, Carl Hall, Adam Copeland and Andy Oswalt – were nominated by Fire Chief Barry Stroup and approved by Long.

“Mayor Long allowed me to select the assistant chiefs and he approved them,” Stroup told The Paper of Wabash County. “Technically, they are his appointments.” The chief said the selection process wasn’t an easy one. “It was difficult to select four out of many great candidates,” he said. “We have a very good department with

quality men.” One assistant chief is in charge of each shift, and the assistant chief of EMS is on duty daily, Stroup said, explaining the staffing situation. “There are then two lieutenants, one at each station,” he continued. “One inspector is at the north station, and the firefighters are then split between the two stations until total manpower at the north

station is at six and the south is at four. There are three shifts.” The new chiefs range in experience from 10 to 23 years with the department. Mullett has been on the WFD since 1993, and has been a paramedic since 1998. Hall has been on the department since 1995 and has previously held the position of lieutenant and inspec(continued on page 28)

Six charged in CLEAN Team investigations By The Paper staff PERU — Recent drug investigations by members of the CLEAN Team resulted in six people being arrested on various drug related charges. During a recent narcotics investigation, by officers from the CLEAN Team, a 17year-old Peru boy was allegedly observed selling methamphetamine. The teen was arrested and incarcerated in a juvenile detention facility for dealing methamphetamine (two counts), possessions of methamphetamine (two counts), and maintaining a common nuisance. Further investigation led to officers obtaining a search warrant for a residence at 458 W. Fifth St., Peru. During a search of the residence, officers allegedly found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Shelly Wright, 41, the 17 yearold boy’s mother, was arrested for two counts of conspiracy to deal m e t h a m p h e t a m i n e, possession of methamphetamine, maintaining a common nuisance, and neglect of a

dependent. The investigation led officers to a home at 2878 N. Knoll Drive, Macy. This is the residence of Caleb Steckel, 36. Steckel and Wright have an infant son together. Officers were at the home at the request of investigators from the Indiana Department of Child Protective Services to check the welfare of the child. While at the residence officers allegedly found m e t h a m p h e t a m i n e, marijuana, prescription medication, and drug paraphernalia. S teckel was arrested to face criminal charges for possession of methamphetamine, possession of a scheduled II narcotic, possession of marijuana, maintaining a common nuisance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. In a separate investigation, officers from the CLEAN Team went to a residence on 511 E. Main St., Peru, to assist the Indiana Department of Child Protective Services with a home check. While at the residence, officers observed syringes, methamphet-

amine, and drug paraphernalia. Brandy Manley. 32, a resident of the home, was arrested to face criminal charges for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a syringe, neglect of a dependent, and maintaining a common nuisance. In another investigation, officers developed probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant for Carl Brown, 31, Peru. Brown was served the warrant which alleged criminal charges for dealing methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine. Members of the CLEAN Team also arrested Brandon Peters, 25, Peru, IN for possession of heroin and possession of a syringe. Officers allegedly found heroin and a syringe when they responded to Peter’s home after he allegedly overdosed on heroin. First responders were able to revive Peter’s.

Peru man killed in one-vehicle crash By The Paper staff A Peru man was killed in a one-vehicle accident that took place about 7:05 a.m. Friday, Jan. 15. Officers from the Indiana State Police and the Miami County Sheriff ’s Department responded to a single vehicle crash on Wabash Road west of Miami County Road 700 East, in which a Peru man was injured. The preliminary crash investigation by Troopers Chuck Meyers and Taylor Roth revealed that

James White, 52, Peru, was driving a 1993 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck eastbound on Wabash Road near Miami County Road 700 East. White lost control on the ice covered road and traveled into a ditch on the north side of the road. The truck rolled at least once, ejecting White. White was flown by Samaritan Helicopter to a Fort Wayne hospital where he passed away Friday night. White was not wearing a seat belt. Troopers believe a

seat belt would have prevented his ejection and reduced the severity of injuries suffered in the crash. At this time, neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to this crash. Troopers Meyer and Roth were assisted with the crash investigation by First Sergeant Mike Tomson, ISP Sergeant Rick Brown, Trooper Bart Stouffer, Trooper Dustin Rutledge, and Trooper Taylor Roth.

NM native launching new web series Klingler to stars in ‘The Calamities of Jane’ By Shaun Tilghman news@nmpaper.com Later this month, veteran actress and North Manchester native Rebecca Klingler will launch a 10-episode web series, entitled “The Calamities of Jane.” The series is loosely based on her own life as “an actress of a certain age” still pursuing her dream in a town and an industry that worships youth. The weekly series will feature Klingler as the quirky Jane Singer, an actress with a Midwestern sensibility, who juggles auditions, ageism, crazy day jobs, and strange suitors, all en route to finding her place in the world. Klingler was born in Kokomo, but her family moved to North Manchester when she was an infant. Her father, Charles, taught English at Manchester College while her mother, Susie, raised their seven children, of which Klingler was the fourth. After graduating from Manchester High School in 1976, Klingler attended Manchester College for two years before moving to southern Indiana to study at the University of Evansville. While in college, Klingler played the lead in “All the Way Home,” which won the American College Theatre Festival in 1981 and played at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Klingler took a hiatus from acting for several years after graduating from Evansville, but she eventually returned to acting. In 1988 she began a year at Theatre on the Square in Memphis, Tenn., where she fulfilled her lifelong dream of playing Peter Pan, as well as playing Stella in “Streetcar Named Desire.” After leaving Memphis, Klingler spent several years in San Francisco, Calif., before eventually deciding it was time to migrate to Los Angeles. Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, Klingler was cast for roles in the films “Titanic,” “L.A. Confidential,” and “The Green Mile.” However, she ultimately became frustrated with the lack of roles available for women in her age range and also with her dependence on others to

work as an actor. “You have to get used to rejection in this business,” Klingler said, “but ultimately, an actor has to work.” It was during an oncamera class, where she was assigned the task of creating her own short films starring herself, that Klingler realized she had a passion for writing and producing. She also recognized the opportunity that the emerging online community offered in terms of honing that passion. “The Internet may be crowded with content,” she said, “but at least you can be seen. It was time for me to stop waiting to be hired and to start working.” So, Klingler teamed up with some of her fellow University of Evansville alumni – Nancy Beverly and Neil Wilson – and together they hammered out the

They then raised $25,000 to shoot the series thanks to a campaign they started on Kickstarter, a prominent crowd-funding site. According to Klingler, the project is currently in post-production in New York at a firm affiliated with her nephew, Nick Hippensteel, who is also from North Manchester. “At this point, I still have to be a little vague about things with regards to the timeline, because my nephew’s company is still mixing the sound,” Klingler explained. “So we’re waiting for that to get finished, but it should definitely be sometime before the end of

January. Then, once the series is released, I will release or post one episode each week. We’re so excited – it’s been a long journey to get to this place, but the finish line is near!” Klingler went on to say that the episodes range in duration from 5-10 minutes, which is due in part to the freedom that exists regarding the Internet. And even though this first series hasn’t quite launched yet, Klingler already has thoughts about a follow-up. “My next challenge is to attract an online audience large enough to support another season,” she added. “I’m currently exploring how everything works, but I’m hoping that it

gets enough hits on YouTube that maybe we’ll be contacted by some people who want to become sponsors for Season 2. And the next season could even be set in North Manchester, I mean, why not? “I envision Jane Singer returning to her hometown to care for her aging parents, which is a scenario that’s actually very similar to my own, and also one that I believe will resonate with many viewers. Indiana is a beautiful backdrop – think of the films “Breaking Away” and “Hoosiers” – and I truly believe Manchester would be a charming location.” All in all, Klingler believes that the Internet allows a budding producer, like her-

self, the freedom to shoot wherever she can afford to bring a production team. “The key now is just to establish a fan base for Season 1 that will support Season 2,” she said, “and viewership is the

only way we can do it. That would really be a dream come true. What could be better than taking charge of my career and celebrating my hometown at the same time?”

Manchester boys down Wabash

Parkview Wabash Foundation receives donation

18 By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmne ws.com In a mirror of their contest two weeks earlier, the Wabash Apaches stayed close with the Manchester Squires early, but watched the Squires open things up to run away with the game. This time it was a 5739 Manchester win. With three minutes left in the first quarter, both teams’ defenses were on display, and the score was tied 5-5. Then things changed. Manchester’s Chase Fierstos scored seven straight points to close out the quarter with a 12-5 lead, and it didn’t get any better for the Apaches the rest of the way. “Our guys came in almost ready to play,” Manchester coach Eric Thompson said. “Wabash was fired up and ready to go. I like the way our guys finally got into the rhythm of their game by keeping the pressure on and holding them down.” Wabash coach Paul Wright was pleased with the way his team started the game. “We got a nice early start. I thought it was better in the first quarter than last time we played them,” he said. “The way Manchester plays defense, we set those high-low ball screens, and it puts pressure on their wings. We put our guards in the deep corners, and in the first quarter, we were getting some layups.” Wabash opened the game with a 1-0 lead when Marcus Jones got through the Manchester defense and was fouled

inside. The Squires’ Braydon Sewell answered with a fastbreak lay-up, but the Apaches’ Luke Mattern scored inside to give Wabash a 3-2 lead. Fierstos scored the first of his 25 points with a three-point play for a 5-3 Manchester lead, but Wabash’s Kaleb Kelsheimer scored on an offensive rebound and putback to tie things up at 5-5 with 4:21 left in the quarter. “Wabash was getting dribble penetration, and in any game we play, we try not to let the other team get dribble penetration. Luckily, we adjusted and didn’t let it happen.” The Squires shut down the Apaches over the next five minutes, and Fierstos got the Manchester offense going. He scored on a fastbreak pull-up jumper with 3:00 left in the first, then followed that up with a threepointer 40 seconds later to make it a 10-5 score. Fierstos closed out the quarter with a bucket, and opened the second quarter with two free throws to make it 14-5. Eryk Weber scored inside for the Apaches, but Manchester’s Koehl Fluke answered with a three-pointer for a 17-7 lead with 5:40 left in the half. Ke l s h e i m e r responded with an old fashioned threepoint play to cut the lead to 17-10 with 4:49 left in the second quarter, but Wabash wouldn’t score again in the half. Fierstos made it 2010 with a three-pointer, followed by an

offensive rebound and put-back. Keelan Norwood scored inside on an assist from Fluke, and Mason Hamby closed out the half with a 15-foot jumper to give the Squires a commanding 26-10 halftime lead. “Offensively, we started to look better. We were reading the holes better,” Thompson said. “Our guards kept wanting to play catch back and forth, but once we started looking inside, our bigs were able to play a twoman game, make the skip pass or look opposite, and we were able to get penetration.” But Wabash didn’t fold up the tents, and pushed the Squires again in the third quarter. Kelsheimer and Fierstos traded baskets to start the second half, before Mattern hit two free throws, followed by a Kelsheimer free throw to make it 2815. Norwood and David McAtee hit back-to-back baskets to make it 32-15, but Owen Yeadon hit a jumper. But the Squires put the game away with three-pointers from Fluke and Fierstos, and a steal and lay-up from Hamby to make 42-20, and eventually 44-23 after three quarters. “In the third quarter, we tried to attack again, and we got to the free throw line and got a couple of lay-ups,” Wright said of the Apaches’ effort. “It was a lot better effort than we had last Friday, and I’m pretty proud of how hard they played.” Fierstos opened the third quarter

with a drive, followed by a three-pointer from Hamby to make it 49-23, leaving no doubt of the outcome. Wabash scored nine of the final 11 points of the game, but it wasn’t enough as the Squires won 57-39. Fierstos led all scorers with 25 points, including four three-pointers, while Fluke had nine points, all on threepointers, and Hamby had his best game as a Squire with nine points, including one three-pointer. Zach Hill came in to score five points, all in the fourth quarter, Sewell had four points, Norwood had three, and McAtee had two. For Wabash, Kelsheimer led the way with 13 points, Mattern had 10, Yeadon had five, Austin Hostetler had three, Weber, Cal Stone, and Blake Gribben each had two, and Marcus Jones had one. The Squires improved to 8-4 overall and 2-1 in the Three Rivers Conference, while the Apaches drop to 1-10 and 0-5 in the TRC. Manchester will host Rochester on Friday and will travel to Churubusco on Saturday, while Wabash will take the trip to Denver to face off against North Miami on Friday.

Norse 7th graders capture Crestview Tourney By The Paper staff Northfield’s seventh grade girls’ basketball team captured the Huntington Crestview Tourney on Saturday. Northfield defeated Warsaw Lakeview, 426 in the semi-final game, and H u n t i n g t o n Crestview, 19-13, in the championship game. Northfield jumped out to a 4-2 lead after one quarter against

Lakeview. However a 20-0 second quarter gave Northfield an insurmountable lead. Coach John Adams said the team used an aggressive 1-3-1 defense in the second quarter that seemed to confuse Lakeview. Kyra Kennedy led all scorers with 13 points. Addi Baker had 12 and Kenzie Baer had 10. Against Crestview, the Norse trailed 4-2 after one quarter, but outscored Huntington

16-5 over the next two quarters to build an 18-9 lead. “Our team seemed to be sluggish at the beginning of the contest, but came on as the game progressed,” Adams said. ‘We missed many opportunities for easy scores; this could have been from tired legs and minds.” One downside, Adams noted, was that the Lady Norse had 29 turnovers, adding, “this will be

addressed.” Baker led Northfield with eight points while Baer had four. The eighth grade team dropped both of its games in the tourney. Northfield lost to Lakeview, 22-15, in the first game and 29-27 to Peru in the second. Maddie Clark led Northfield with seven points against Lakeview. Madison Shrider had 16 against Peru.

out to them! JANUARY BIRTHDAY WISHES go to: Lynnette Good, Jan. 8; Dawn Howell, Jan. 13; Lisa Herring, Jan. 14. Happy birthday to all! YOU KNOW tips are a dime a dozen. Tips can be good information on how to do something better. What is difficult is a workable way to apply tips, to replace one pattern of behavior with a new hopefully better one. I think believing in yourself has a lot to do with words. You are what you say you are. Words are important and powerful. If you keep telling yourself you can do it, I bet you will…that’s my tip! YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “Making the right decision at the right time is always better in life, but can be tricky when emotions and temptations get in the way. On the tennis court, good tennis is not necessarily synonymous with belting the ball as hard as you can. It is more about making the correct decision or shot selection at the right time. A badly produced shot to the right place is always better than the most beautiful shot in the world to the wrong place. The same in life may or may not be true; a bad decision at the right time probably will result in a negative outcome. It usually comes down to simply thinking before we act. On the tennis court I love to crush the ball when the opportunity presents itself even when a conservative shot will get the job done, but I do try to stay in controlled aggression. The same concepts are just as true in life.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week. PLEASE EMAIL YOUR NEWS AND INFORMATION TO: isaac.triplett@yahoo.c om, or call me at 260274-2261.

SAINT P A T R I C K ’ S CHURCH usually conducts mass every first Sunday of each month at 12:30 p.m.; but for the months of January, February, and March there will be no Sunday Mass due to the winter weather season. THE LAGRO C O M M U N I T Y CHURCH FOOD PANTRY wishes to thank all who have so generously contributed to its ministry. Without the public’s help it would not be able to continue. The pantry is open the third Saturday of each month from 9-10 a.m. in the church basement. Please call 260-571-9064 for more information or questions. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY IN JANUARY to: Steve and Diane Turner, Jan. 2; Terry and Toni Schaaf, Jan. 3. A big congratulation’s go

Regional Cities Initiative moves forward after funding snag By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Regional Cities Initiative projectfunding hit a snag on Tuesday Dec. 15, after Gov. Mike Pence announced three recipient winners instead of the approved two. But as of Jan. 5, plans will continue moving forward as state legislators voiced their approval to back the third region. On Dec. 15, Pence announced plans to award three regions – North Central, Southwest and Northeast Indiana which encompasses Wabash County – $126 million to support regional development plans. However, last May when the Initiative was originally signed into law, legislators only approved $84 million in state matching funds to award two

recipients of the RCI program. The Initiative’s funding was generated by the 2015 Tax Amnesty program, which allowed people and businesses to pay up on overdue taxes. Each region would receive $42 million in state matching funds. However, during the RCI recipient announcement, Pence and the Indiana E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation (IEDC) Board of Directors voted to seek legislative approval to award full funding to the three regions. The decision to seek approval and choice to pick a third recipient was based on “unexpected” financial success of the 2015 Tax Amnesty program, according to Keith Gillenwater, president and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County.

As of Dec. 15, the tax amnesty program collected $137.6 million in cash payments. Although initial reactions among legislators varied, including House Speaker Brian Bosma, RIndianapolis, who voiced his frustration over Pence’s lack of communication, representatives of the House and the Senate believe the additional funding to be approved. “Do I think it’s probably going to happen? I would say yes,” Bosma said on Tuesday Jan. 6. “First of all, it’s a great initiative. The governor deserves credit for that. And the money is there in the amnesty program.” Bosma’s original frustration stemmed from Pence’s

announcement that three cities would win the money without notifying legislators beforehand, especially because the additional appropriation needed legislative approval. The House Speaker continued that he and the governor discussed their miscommunication and decided, “We both need to pick up the phone a little more often.” While the situation may have caused a snag in funding, Gillenwater said doesn’t see it as a set back. “The program was never going to be where they cut you a check for $42 million on Jan. 5,” he said. “It was going to be you follow through your process with RDA that has been created, submit projects, they allocate funding to

meet the guidelines of the program and then you submit that to the state to get the Regional Cities funding that you already discussed and asked for. “So I think it shouldn’t hold off the implementation of anything.” The funds awarded to Northeast Indiana will be matched by both public and private entities throughout the 11 counties participating in the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership. The Partnership collaborated to create “The Road to One Million Plan” which aims to implement 70 projects across the 11 counties over the next 10 years and invest more than $400 million to implement 38 projects over the next two years. “The intent of the

Regional Cities program was they wanted the projects that could have private investment, public buy in and this money from the state was what would put the projects right over the edge so it can start getting built,” Gillenwater said in a Dec. 22 issue of The Paper, “because their intention was that the projects could be substantially completed within 24 months.” H o w e v e r , Gillenwater said that no county or entity will be required to financial back any of the proposed development plans. “The way the process is set up was, when we agreed to join the Regional D e v e l o p m e n t Authority, is our obligation to fund any particular projects are only ones agree to

Dillon elected City Council president By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash City Council member Bryan Dillon will serve as council president for 2016. He was unanimously elected to the position on Monday, Jan. 11, during the first City Council meeting of Mayor Scott Long’s administration. Among the council

president’s duties is serving as a liaison between the council and the mayor’s office. The president also fills in for the mayor at various functions when the mayor is unable to attend. “I’m honored that the council had the confidence in me,” Dillon told The Paper of Wabash County following the meeting. The council

declined on Monday to name a vice president. However, members said it may explore the matter at a later date. In another matter, the council approved an amendment to the Wabash City School’s 2016 budget. Because of a data entry error, the budget only showed $40,000 in the transportation levy. “It wouldn’t get us

to transport any students,” City Schools Business Manager Matt Stone said. “It is now corrected … The correct number is $526,000. “We’re not changing the budget; we’re just correcting the levy.” Because the council appoints the school board, it must approve any budget matters concerning the district.

sign and are in local agreement to pay for,” he explained. “So if we sign an agreement with the RDA for one of our Wabash County projects so that we can receive that funding, great. If another county decides that that is something that has an impact to them and they want to participate in helping to pay the bill on some of those projects, that’s great as well. “But we are not obligated ... if we don’t want to put any specific Wabash County money toward paying one of those projects, we don’t have to.” “The Road to One Million” kickoff celebration will take place Thursday, Jan. 21., in Fort Wayne.
