Local county schools continue summer food programs

Local reservoirs ready for upcoming holidays Salamonie and Mississinewa booked for Memorial Day

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash City Schools (WCS) and Manchester Community Schools (MCS) announced plans to again participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Through the program, free breakfast and lunch meals will be available to all children ages 1-18 Monday through Friday, with the exception of Friday, July 3. Any persons over 18years-old who are enrolled in a state-approved educational program for the mentally or physically disabled are also eligible for a free meal. “It’s an opportunity for us to reach out to our community and allow kids to receive healthy meals while school is out,” said Melanie Honeycutt, WCS food service director. “The program fulfills a twofold purpose,” said Becky Landes, food service director of MCS. “It provides food during the summer for kids who might not be able to get breakfast and lunch at home during the summer because of a parent’s busy schedule. I also think it’s a great thing because it allows for affordable childcare.” The North Manchester Parks and Recreation offers a childcare program near Manchester High School, one of the locations the SFSP will be offered, Landes said. “The parks and rec do use us and it’s a great, safe place for kids to hang out with their friends,” Landes continued. “It also fosters a sense of family. Parents, of course, have to purchase their meals, but the program provides an opportunity and space for children and adults to be together on the kids’ turf, so to speak.” Last year, the Manchester food program served more than 9,400 lunches and approximately 2,900 breakfast meals to children, not including adult purchases. Wabash’s program served 12,621 lunches and 4,25 breakfast meals. The MCS SFSP will start June 3 and end Aug. 6. WCS food program will begin June 1 and end on July 24. All meal programs will be closed Friday, July 3. The MCS locations, types of meals, and times include the following: —Manchester Elementary School, located at 301 River Road in North Manchester, will serve breakfast from 7:30-8:30 a.m. and lunch from 11:30 a.m.

The Salamonie Reservoir and Mississinewa Reservoir campsites are booked for Memorial Day weekend. However, the local parks still welcome visitors for a day of hiking, fishing, and other activities, according to Larry Brown, Mississinewa Reservoir property manager. Salamonie Reservoir began accepting reservations on April 29 and is, so far, doing well, said Kari Proffitt, park office manager. For Mississinewa, however, reservations have been up about 10 percent, Brown said. “We have seen that since we’ve gotten the water back from the dam construction in 2005 and we’ve seen that trend, on average, about 10 percent every year,” he continued. Brown and Proffitt told The Paper of Wabash County that the local parks’ campgrounds tend to be reserved quickly for holidays, often completely filled one to two months prior to the date. “Holidays go pretty fast,” Proffitt said. “People can reserve six months in advance for a holiday, so there are some people who do it six months out. For weekends, you can’t do same day reservations, but you can do a couple days out or do a walk-in for a regular weekend.” Reservations can be made at least 24-hours prior to time of arrival, according to Brown. Both managers agreed that reservations are a good idea if a camper desires a specific site or is camp-

Fate of old jail still undecided By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The fate of the old Wabash County Jail and sheriff ’s house is still up in the air. In 2014, the Wabash County Commissioners gave officials from Wabash Marketplace Inc. (WMI) one year to develop a plan and come up with funding to save the building, located across the street from the Wabash County Courthouse, directly east of the current Wabash County Jail. Earlier this month, WMI President Jason Callahan asked Commissioners for an extension on the deadline. Commissioners granted the agency an additional 90 days. Callahan apologized for the lack of movement on the project over the past year. “Fortunately, we had the Stellar (Community Grant) project,” he said. “Unfortunately, we also lost Patrick (Sullivan, the former WMI executive director). “It’s been a bit of juggling some things. I apologize that we didn’t get back to the commission, and the Wabash County Jail has taken somewhat of a backseat to Stellar and some of the other things facing Wabash Marketplace.” After Sullivan spoke to commissioners in 2014 about receiving time to find a buyer and plans to refurbish the building, Indiana Landmarks gave the county $5,000 to patch the roof of the building. In addition, Indiana Landmarks placed the building on the 10 Most Endangered Buildings around the state in 2014. It was not included on the 2015 list. “They were supposed to at some point in time do a survey,” Callahan updated commissioners. “We were waiting on some grant money to come through. “Marketplace is going to do a matching grant and do an architectural survey, and then Landmarks would adver-

Landmarks has informed us they have the money … but they would ask that we at least have 90 days to get that done, then come back and see if we could get any other movement on that property.” Commissioner Barry Eppley said he didn’t object to the extension, “as long as it’s for a specific purpose and for a specific period of time, realizing that that could not be enough time, also.” “I think we need to be planning for the site’s future at some point,” he added. Callahan agreed, noting, “I don’t want to just perpetuity, with delay, delay, delay. I want to find a usage for this property or figure out how we can do something with it.” He said one person did express interest in the property. The person had pur(continued on page 24)

NORTH MANCHESTER — On Sunday, 24-yearold Noah Emmanuel Akins, of North Manchester, was arrested on rape charges and booked into Kosciusko County Jail. Kosciusko County Prosecuting Attorney Daniel H. Hampton presented the evidence in Kosciusko County Superior Court 1 on Monday, and the Court found probable cause for Akins’ arrest. Akins was subsequently charged with rape, a level 3 felony, and sexual battery, a level 6 felony. Akins was being held in Kosciusko County Jail on a $30,000 surety bond. The level 3 felony charge carries a fixed term between 3-20 years in prison upon conviction, while a level 6 felony carries a penalty upon conviction of a fixed term between six months and 2 1/2 years.

The Paper will be closed Memorial Day, May 25th. Ad and articles deadline will be Friday, May 22nd at noon.

Campaign begins to help with woman’s medical bills By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Friends of an Arkansas woman with ties to Wabash County have launched a Go Fund Me page to help her raise money to pay for treatments for her fight against an extremely rare disease. The woman, Julie Denton of Greenbriar, Ark., is now undergoing treatment in Dallas, Texas, to combat her ailment, which was recently diagnosed as toxic neuropathy due to tricothecene mycotoxins. Although she has been battling the disease for upwards of 15 years, it wasn’t until April 24 that doctors determined the cause for her problems. “She has had this illness as long as I can remember, yet gets up every day caring for her three kids and husband even though she is hurting physically,” her sister, Wabash resident Kristy Fletcher said. “I’ve seen her aching so badly she can’t get out of bed and has no strength.” Denton’s problems began after she and

her husband, Dean, moved back to Little Rock, Ark., from California after the birth of their first child. “When our first child was born, we decided that we wanted to be closer to home, so we moved back to Arkansas,” she wrote on her Go Fund Me webpage. Denton, who has a degree in special education, joined a Little Rock firm and began

working her way up the corporate ranks. “It was during this time that I started to realize that something just wasn’t right with my health,” she wrote. “After a few years of pushing through, I thought it would be best to go back to a ‘teacher’s schedule.’ The problems continued to get worse – (with) extreme exhaustion, pain from head to toe, chronic fatigue and

brain fog.” Doctors wanted her to quit working, but she refused. “I tapered down to a part-time teaching job but even with giving it all my might, it was short lived,” she wrote. “I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t take care of my children, my husband, my house. I couldn’t even take care of my self.” Denton became bed(continued on page 3)

spread the word of these mystery diseases. “My hope is she raises enough money to be with us forever, pain free,” Fletcher said. “As she says on the website, any money raised over and above what she absolutely needs for her treatment will be paid forward to help others in need who are suffering from these mysterious illnesses.

over herself.” Anyone wishing to contribute to Denton’s fundraising campaign can go to gofundme.com/Julie Denton.

Downtown buildings to get new looks By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Two historic downtown buildings will be getting facelifts in the coming months, the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety learned on Wednesday, May 6. The Bradley Building, located on the southeast corner of South Wabash and West Canal streets, and the Bedford Building, located on South Wabash Street, directly across from Wabash City Hall, are awaiting bids for a variety of work to them. Wabash businessman Jack Frances owned the buildings; however, Julie Locke, a California resident, recently purchased them. Dave Vandermark of Vandermark Construction, which is serving as the contractor for the projects, updated the board on the two sites. “We’ve had engineering to take a quick look,” Vandermark said of the Bradley Building. “We looked around the outside of the building.”

One estimate is in and at least two more are expected on masonry work on the site, he added. Vandermark said Locke is looking for complete, historical restoration of the building, and presented the board with artist renderings of both the Bradley and Bedford buildings. Most of the windows have been boarded up, and those that have not yet been boarded will be boarded shortly. Vandermark said he hopes work proceeds quickly enough that new roofs are in place on both buildings by the “end of this season.” “Those are probably the big tasks to be accompli shed on both buildings – the sides and the roofs,” he said. The work could possibly fall under the Wabash Marketplace Inc. façade grant program. Vandermark said he has already had his designs approved by the Historic Preservation Commission, and he hopes to present his grant applications to Wabash Marketplace in the next few weeks.

Walkers raise funds for March of Dimes By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Walkers took to the streets of Wabash on Saturday, May 2, for the annual March for Babies fundraising campaign for the

better turnout,” Walk coordinator Pat Vanlandingham said. “We had some teams that didn’t show up. And I know there are some other good causes that are going on today, and the first soccer games are going on, too, so we’re competing with a lot of other events.” Walkers took a lap around the Paradise Spring Historical Park before heading along the Wabash River Walk then south to Vernon Manor Children’s Home and back. Before leaving, the walkers heard an emotional story from Huntington residents Adam and Tiffanney Drummond about their youngest child, Carter Elizabeth, who

was born in November 2014. “We had two pretty easy pregnancies before,” Mrs. Drummond said. “Carter’s started out the same way. Toward the end of my pregnancy I started having some complications.” After two special ultrasounds, she continued, doctors determined it would be better for Carter to be born than for Mrs. Drummond to continue with her pregnancy. “So, at 37 ½ weeks, we thought, ‘Sure, no problem,” she said. “She was born after a very rapid delivery with fluid on her lungs. “She didn’t cry a lot, but we thought maybe that’s just her. But we did notice some shallow and rapid breathing. As the day went on, we noticed it more and more. “ Carter was taken to the neo-natal intensive care unit (NICU) for a consultation, and was kept there. “We didn’t know what was going on,” Mrs. Drummond said. “She was gone for like three hours, and nobody told us anything. She ended up hooked up to IVs and on monitors. Due to the rapid delivery she ended up with fluid on her lungs.” She eventually developed pneumonia and was in the NICU for 10 days. “(That) definitely was the longest days of our lives,” Mrs. Drummond said. “The day I got discharged and she had

technology in the NICU that really helped Carter and really helped us know exactly where she was at each day.” She said that obviously taking a pregnancy to full term is the best thing to do. “But if they have come early … there’s an organization like the March of Dimes to

help each baby.” Also prior to the walk, Mayor Robert Vanlandingham read a proclamation naming May 2 as March for Babies Day and “I urge all citizens to recognize the March of Dimes for their contributions to babies born in Wabash County.”

SWCD has funds for fall cover crops Article provided The Wabash County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) is excited to announce they have two possible funding opportunities for costshare assistance towards fall cover crop application. If you farm in the Middle Eel River Watershed and/or the Wabash River Watershed in Wabash County and currently use or have ever thought about applying cover crops, now is your chance! Middle Eel River Watershed- Last year the Wabash County SWCD was awarded a $60,000 Lake And River Enhancement (LARE) Grant and successfully allocated all those funds for the application of fall 2014 cover crops. They have submitted a second grant this year and are waiting to hear if it has been

accepted. Meanwhile, the district would like you to submit an application and ranking sheet to them, so that if they are awarded the funds the recipients are in place. You can apply for up to 300 acres of cover crops and the cost-share reimbursement is $35 an acre. Wabash River Watershed- Through the Clean Water Indiana (CWI) Grant Program the Wabash County SWCD and the Miami County SWCD have been awarded a $75,000.00 grant for cover crop application to be spent over the next three years. These funds are secured and there will be cost-sharing on cover crop applications this fall. The maximum amount of acres that you can apply for is 100 and the cost-share reimbursement is $20.00 an acre. Both the Middle Eel

River Watershed and Wabash River W a t e r s h e d Applications and Ranking Forms are due June 15. Call the Wabash County SWCD at 260-563-7486 ext. 3 to request an application or stop by the office at 599 Bryan Avenue to fill your forms out. Cover crops are very beneficial to decrease soil erosion, increase soil fertility, improve water infiltration and boost over-all soil health. The Wabash County SWCD Board of Supervisors have personal experience in using cover crops and would love to help you succeed. Please contact the SWCD with questions; a SWCD Board Member or Natural R e s o u r c e Conservation Service (NRCS) Staff Member can help you.

New details of Hanna Park Project released By The Paper staff Playground equipment at Hanna Park is expected to be installed the week of June 22, according to members of the Hanna Park Project Committee. “We decided to purchase a play system called Sandstone Quarry,” Committee chair Jordan Tandy said. “We looked at three or four different playground companies but after doing our due diligence, eventually decided on AAA State of Play. They’re based out of Indianapolis, and all the references we checked gave them great reviews.” The Wabash Park Department will install the equipment. “Todd Titus and the Park Department have been great to work with,” Tandy said. “They agreed to install the playground, which is sav-

ings our committee thousands of dollars that we can now devote to other parts of the project.” H a n k ’ s Construction & E x c a v a t i n g recently leveled the site to prepare it for the playground , donating its services for the project. “The response to this project from the community has been unbelievable,” Tandy continued. “Hanna Park essentially sits on a hillside, which made things difficult when it came to installing a playground. Hiring out the necessary excavating work probably would’ve eaten up most of our budget, but Hank Eilts volunteered to come in and do it for free. We all owe him a huge debt of gratitude.” A paved walkway will run through the playground, connecting the playground to

other amenities at the park. “We are meeting with Sam Knight of Gaunt & Son Asphalt to talk about options for the walkway,” Tandy said. “They offered to repave the basketball court for free, and we’re hoping they’ve got some ideas for a walkway to make it easy to get around the park and make it attractive visually.” Wabash resident Dave Swan is picking up the play system in Greenfield and transporting it to Wabash, saving the committee approximately $1,500. The plans for Hanna Park do not end with the playground, however. Committee member Judy Ward said “we are still in the process of researching other options for our r e m a i n i n g funds. We’ll need things like benches, trash cans, and maybe some new swings or basketball goals. We would also like to do some landscaping to beautify the area.” The committee plans to have a

12 Honeywell Pool renovations remain on schedule

Project will not be completed by Memorial Day By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Honeywell Pool will not be open for Memorial Day, according to Todd Titus, Wabash park superintendent. At the Wabash City Council meeting on May 11, Titus told the council that he has received many questions about the pool’s renovation status, including when or if the pool will be open this year. “Yes, we are going to open, but we will not be open Memorial Day. We never thought we would be,” Titus said. “The contract’s substantial completion

date is June 8 and, at our meeting last week with the contractor, they indicated that they are on schedule, weather permitting, to make that date. “We anticipate that we may be open June 12 or the 15th. It depends on when we are actually able to get in, get water in the pool, and start doing what we need to do to make the pool ready to open.” Since the beginning, the $1.9 million-dollar project has faced a few setbacks. The renovations were originally planned to begin within days of the pool’s closing last August. However, budget issues delayed the start until

mid-October. Snow and cold weather in January also delayed work several days, Titus has said in the past. However, the project may see slowed progress if rainy weather continues, Titus told the council. In the upcoming weeks, several of the finishing tasks, such as concrete work and painting, will require some extended dry weather. “However, right now, the best estimate right now is that it remains on schedule,” he said. “It’s always been on schedule and, financially, we’ve had two change orders and I believe the contract is

$34,000 than what we started. So there have been no real surprises. It’s gone really well.” R.L. Turner Inc. of Zionsville is the project’s general contractor and has “been a great group to work with,” said Wabash City Mayor Robert Vanlandingham. “Yeah they’ve been real good,” Titus agreed. “We’re trying to work out so that as soon as we get the new fencing up and get the new sides secure, perhaps we can get in there and get water in the pool and get a lot of that preliminary stuff, our stuff, out of the way while they’re still completing there work.” This project did not do any renovations with the bathhouse, Titus reminded the council. “Any kind of painting and general sprucing up of the bathhouse will come after this,” he continued. “It will done much of it this summer by our people and local contractors so even when we’re up and going it’s not looking like we finally want it to look in the end.”

Wabash County Commissioners have delayed a decision on if the county should charge a public safety fee on heritage barns. In March 2014, Gov. Mike Pence signed legislation removing heritage barns from the property tax rolls. A heritage barn, according to the legislation, must have been built before 1950 and retain sufficient integrity of design, materials and construction to clearly

identify the building as a barn. In addition, the structure cannot be being used for agricultural purposes in the operation of an agricultural enterprise, and it cannot be used for business purposes. “In other words, you can’t have your animals in there or, if you’re a business, you can’t keep your equipment in there,” Wabash County Assessor Kelly Schenkel explained to commissioners on May 11.

before the commissioners to broach the idea of the public safety fee on the barns. She said a handful of individuals have approached her office seeking the heritage barn exemption. “It’s basically a barn that isn’t used any more for farming purposes,” she continued. “They can file and their barn would not be accessed. It would have zero taxes.” Counties can charge up to $50 per heritage barn as a public safety fee, under the measure. “Since we aren’t collecting any taxes on that, if they have a fire on that barn, at least we’re getting some money,” Schenkel said. “You can make that fee up to $50 or you can not assess a fee at all.” County Attorney Steve Downs opined that it is “a strange statute.”

“It’s not a public safety tax,” he said. “This is just simply the same ordinance that allows you to have an exemption for the heritage barns, also says we can charge you a public safety fee. “It doesn’t make a lot of sense. The purpose of the exemption is to encourage people to maintain heritage barns. Yet, we give them the exemption and then we turn around and put on a few. What are we trying to accomplish?” In addition, under the statute, the assessor must equitably distribute the fee to any police or fire departments in whose territory the barn is located. Commissioners opted not to do anything with the fee at this point. Commissioner Barry Eppley noted, “We need more direction on this.”

Former Wabash County resident Abbie (Thomas) Welch will open have a grand opening celebration at her new photo studio in Goshen later this month. Photo provided

Former Wabash County resident Abbie (Thomas) Welch earned awards for her photos in the recent Professional Photographers of America contest, which took place March 20-21 in Des Moines, Iowa. Welch competed in the North Central District of the competition. There were 216 photographers from 10 states and two Canadian territories entering a total of 920 images. Welch’s four images received scores of 86, 86, 90 and 92 of a possible 100 points. With those scores, Welch tied for sixth place in the North Central District and earned a Top 10

Imager award. Her image, “The Littlest Flower,” earned the Judges’ Choice Award and also placed second in the Children’s Portrait category. The photo features a girl from Goshen and was taken in February 2015. The images also have her in running for Photographer of the Year, which will be announced in August in Atlanta, Ga. Welch is the granddaughter of Phil and the late Shermadean Cramer, Wabash. She is the daughter of Tony and Christie T h o m a s , Crawfordsville. She attended Northfield High School her freshman and sophomore years (2000-2002) before

moving to Crawfordsville. While at Northfield, she played on the Norse girls’ varsity basketball team. She continued her basketball career at Crawfordsville, and was recruited to play basketball at the University of Missouri. Welch’s studio, Welch Foto LLC, is in the Greene & Berkeley building next to Model Elementary School in Goshen. After winning “Studio of the Year” in Fort Wayne in 2013 and 2014, she moved the studio to Goshen, in the summer of 2014. She and her husband, Nathan, spent last summer remodeling an 1,800 square foot old school

house room into what it is now. “I’ve been lucky enough that the Goshen community has embraced me as one of their own, and our schedule has been full almost every month since October of 2014,” she said. The Goshen Chamber of Commerce board members will be touring the newly remodeled studio at 11:30 a.m. May 29, and will have a ceremonial ribbon cutting to celebrate the finished renovations. She specializes in photos of newborns and small children as well as wedding shoots and senior portraits.

Steven R. Chinworth, 61 Former bartender May 17, 1953 – March 16, 2015 Steven R. Chinworth, 61, of Bloomington, died on March 16, 2015. He was born May 17, 1953, in Midland, Mich., to Herbert and Arlene (Wegener) Chinworth. Steve was preceded in death by his mother, Arlene, and he is survived by his father Herb, North Manchester; sister, Mary (David) Schallert, Grand Haven, Mich., and brothers, James (Debra) Chinworth, North Manchester, and Wesley (Nancy) Chinworth, North Judson. Steve is also survived by his 11 beloved nieces and nephews. He graduated from Ludington High School, Ludington, Mich., in 1971. Steve then attended Michigan State University and called many places his home, including: Ludington, Mich., Portland, Ore., Boulder, Colo., Sacramento, Calif., Tampa, Fla., and for a brief stint, Hawaii. He worked a number of jobs in his lifetime but found great satisfaction as a bartender for various service organizations, primarily the Elks Club in Sacramento, Calif. Steve was a voracious reader, a lover of all things golf, traveling frequently to Texas to spend spring with his parents playing golf and had a keen interest in music and movies of many genres. He loved to walk both for pleasure and for reflection as well as just to run an errand. Probably his greatest pleasure in walking was throughout the Ludington (Mich.) State Park, especially in the winter time. In recent years he enjoyed tending to his mother during her stay in Health Care at the Timbercrest Retirement Community and was always willing to provide care where needed. And clearly his greatest joy in life was spending time with his 11 nieces and nephews, and watching them grow into caring and capable adults. It was the mutual love between them that was the true light in his life. Memorial service will be Tuesday, May 26, 2015, at 6 p.m. in Timbercrest Chapel, 2201 East St., North Manchester. The family will receive friends following the service. Pastor Karen Eberly and Pastor Kurt Borgmann will officiate.

Dr. A. Forrest Troyer, 85 Corn breeding pioneer May 30, 1929 – May 10, 2015 Dr. A. Forrest Troyer, one of the pioneers of modern corn breeding, died peacefully Sunday, May 10, 2015. He was 85 and lived in DeKalb, Ill. He lived life with purpose; his family and pursuit of his passion for corn breeding. From growing up in a corn breeding family, to operating a certified seed farm that paid his university tuitions and led to a career yielding remarkable results. Forrest was destined to breed corn and made a difference doing so. If a life can be measured by tangible results, then these results speak loudly: during his professional career, Forrest developed, or co-developed 40 commercial corn hybrids that sold more than 60 million bags of seed in North America. That was enough corn to plant all North American production for two years, at a combined current value of approximately $8.4 trillion. His most well-known corn hybrids from 1974 through 1983 were Pioneer hybrid 3732 and 3780. The unit sales of those two products exceeded 45 million bags. Forrest’s family was extremely important to him and provided inspiration and loving relationships during life’s journey. Forrest was born on a farm near La Fontaine on May 30, 1929. The youngest of four children, his intellect and drive were challenged from an early age, by exceptionally bright and diligent parents and siblings. The keen intellect and drive would remain to the end. The influence of his parents – Alvah and Lottie and his siblings – Charles Robert, Marguerite and Lucille clearly molded the man who would accomplish so much. In 1950, Forrest married Joyce Wigner of Fairmount. Enduring commitment and support to one another marked their marriage of more than 60 years. They raised their family in a home filled with love, happiness and laughter due to their positive outlook on life and great sense of humor. Forrest and Joyce spent their first years apart, as the Korean War took Forrest abroad. In 1951 and 1952, Forrest served with distinction – twice declining battlefield promotions – an honor that would keep him away from Joyce longer than necessary. In October 2014, Forrest thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Greater Lafayette Honor Flight. Forrest and Joyce forged their family, and lives together, at stops along Forrest’s educational journey: baccalaureate degree at Purdue University; Masters degree at the University of Illinois; and Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. Along the way, their family grew to include three daughters and a son, Anne, Barb, Cathy, and Danny. Locations and titles read like battle ribbons on the chest of a war hero. Mankato, Minnesota – Pioneer Hi-Bred Corn Company - Research Station Manager, Research Coordinator for Northern and Eastern North America and France. St. Louis, Missouri – Pfizer Genetics, Inc. – Research Director, Vice President. DeKalb, Illinois – DeKalb-Pfizer Genetics, Inc. – Vice President, Director – Research and Development. Forrest retired from his final corporate position in 1993. Post-retirement activities kept Forrest as busy as his former corporate assignments. Since 1993, he consulted with Cargill Hybrid Seeds, was appointed Adjunct Professor, Crop Sciences, University of Illinois and continued hands-on corn breeding with Dairyland Seed Co. The post–retirement accomplishments were made possible by the administrative support of Julie Rautio. Julie’s dedication, her ability to always go above and beyond and her extraordinary kindness are and have been very much appreciated by Forrest and the entire family. Forrest persevered through the losses of his parents, Lottie and Alvah, his wife, Joyce and son, Danny and his siblings, Charles Robert and Lucille. He is survived by sister Marguerite Guenin, daughters Anne (Chuck) Sherwood, Barb (Steve) Witz and Cathy Troyer. He has two sonsin-law, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Visitation and funeral services were Friday, May 15, at McDonald Funeral Home, LaFontaine Chapel, 104 S Main St., LaFontaine, with Pastor Brad Wright officiating. Burial will follow at the LaFontaine IOOF Cemetery in LaFontaine. Memorials are appreciated and can be made to Opportunity House, 202 Locust St., Sycamore, IL. 60178.

SQU I RREL CREEK

BUNKER HILL – On Wednesday afternoon, a joint criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Josh Maller and Indiana Department of Correction Internal Affairs Officer Casie Klepinger resulted in the arrest of Miami Correctional Facility Officer Brandon Wicker, 30, Walton. Wicker surrendered to Master Trooper Jan Maller at the Miami County Jail. Wicker was served a Miami Superior Court I

arrest warrant alleging felony counts for conspiracy to deal methamphetamine, trafficking with an inmate, and conspiracy to commit dealing in a schedule III controlled substance. Wicker also faces an additional misdemeanor charge for possession of a controlled substance. He has posted a surety bond of $28,000. In March, during a routine search inside the Miami Correctional Facility (MCF), officers discovered evidence that illegal narcotics and other contraband were being

smuggled into the prison. Further investigation by MCF staff and Detective Maller revealed that Wicker was purportedly bringing the illegal items into the facility. As part of the investigation, officers searched Wicker’s pickup truck and his Cass County home. They allegedly found prescription medication, synthetic marijuana, and other items that Wicker was allegedly preparing to smuggle to an inmate inside the prison. Investigators

also allegedly found methamphetamine, inside MCF, that Wicker had purportedly smuggled inside the high medium security men’s prison. Wicker was allegedly paid by a third party outside the prison to bring contraband into the facility.

Emmanuel Christian School recognized by Wabash City Council By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Emmanuel Christian School state champion boys basketball team was applauded for its achievements in this year’s Indiana Association of Christian Schools basketball tournament at the Wabash City Council on May 11. The school captured the state title for Division II on March 7 from top seeded Fishers Christian Academy and brought home its first state championship. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham said

that the students’ achievement was a great feat and praised Principal Jeff Pope and Coach Merrill Templin for their hard work as well. “Being a former elementary school principal for 31 years, I know and understand what goes into that,” he continued. “However, I also know and understand that, today, it seems like people want to say that the kids do this and the kids do that. You get out of kids what you put into them. “You guys need to be really commended and applauded for what you do.” Since its founding

in 1982, the school has been invited to participate in the Indiana Association of Christian Schools basketball tournament for the last 20 or so years, but never made it very far, Pope said to the council. “We went and we were the number two seed,” the principal said. “So we knew we had a decent chance, and it was March 7, we were the there for the championship game.” The local team brought home the victory with a one-point lead, finishing the game 60-59 over Fishers. “They had the ball with like 10 seconds

Big second inning pushes Squires over Apaches By Gary Andrews The Manchester baseball team picked up a big win Friday, scoring seven runs in the second inning and hanging on for an 8-7 win over Wabash. The Apaches took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second when Austin Hostetler led off with a single, stole second and third before scoring on a Manchester error. The Squires would respond in a big way in the bottom of the inning. David McAtee led off with a single and advanced to second on an Apache error before Thad Miller walked. Rylie Rickert would then

single to load the bases before Zach Hill hit a two run single to give the Squires a 2-1 lead. Landon Tharp would then single home the third run with Kane gable then drawing a walk. Bailey Ness would hit a fly to left that score the tagging Hill as Manchester built the lead to 4-1. The Apaches then botched a pick off attempt that scored Tharp with Branden Scott singling next. Evan Milam would then ground out, scoring Gable to make it 6-1 with McAtee following with a single to score Scott for the 7-1 lead. The Apaches would start to chip away at the lead,

scoring 2 runs in the fourth to cut the Manchester lead to 73, getting hits from Hostetler and Braydon Ogan. The Apaches would pickup another run in the fifth on a Kyle Kelsheimer single and two stolen bases with a Rowley fly ball driving him home. The Squires would get a run back in the bottom of the inning on a McAtee walk, plus a Miller double and a Wabash error to make it 8-4. Wabash would make things interesting in the seventh, scoring three times on two hits, two walks, a hit batter and a Manchester error before the Squires escaped with the 8-7 win.

Lady Norse win battle of Metro By Gary Andrews For four innings Friday the game was up for air as the Southwood and Northfield softball teams played to a scoreless tie, but things changed in the fifth as the Norse scored 3 times before plating 10 runs in the sixth for a 13-0 win. Heading to the top

of the fifth Alexis Taylor was hit by a pitch with one out with sister Olivia and Kianna Kendall following reaching on an error. With the bases loaded the Knights forced a pop up before Lauren Early walked to force in the first run. Kendall would then score on a wild pitch to make it 2-0 before an Abby Keaffaber walk.

Breanna Burcroff was then hit by a pitch to force in the third run for a 3-0 lead. The Norse would break things open in the sixth, collecting five hits and taking advantage of 3 walks and 3 Knights errors to score 10 runs and take a 13-0 lead which would be the final score.

The Emmanuel Christian School boys basketball team was recognized at Wabash City Council on May 11 for their championship victory in the Indiana Association of Christian Schools basketball tournament. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham (fifth from left) posed with Coach Merrill Templin, Jaxton Coyne, Preston Ritzema, Davis Coyne, Jeff Miller, Levi Hinds, Ariston Trusty, Jonathan Napier, Isaac Cooper, and Principal Jeff Pope for a commemorative photo after the council offered their congratulations to the students and educators. Photo by Emma Rausch left, going down the court, we had onepoint lead and we were able to pull it off so it was exciting,”

Pope said. “It was not a run-away. That might have been a little nicer, but it was very exciting.

“We’re tickled that we can represent our community. I know there’s other schools, but there’s a place for

Emmanuel Christian School also in our community.”

Lady Squires fall in 15 innings By Gary Andrews In what was scheduled to be a double header at Taylor for the Manchester Lady Squires, ended up being two games built in to one as the Squires lost 5-4 in a 15 inning marathon. The Squires would score all their runs

in the third through fifth innings to lead 4-0. In the third Sydney Day drew a one out walk then scored on a two out single by Celina Carter to lead 1-0. In the fourth Katelyn Andritsch singled with one out before advancing to second on a passed

ball and scoring on a Mattie McKee double. Kierra Stacy would then single home McKee for a 3-0 lead. In the fifth the Squires built the lead to 4-0. With two outs Cierra Carter drew a walk and went to second on a passed ball before Ellie Milam

singled, bringing home Carter for the 4-0 lead. Taylor would score 2 in the fifth and 2 in the seventh to tie the score before the extra inning affair went to the 15th when Taylor scored a run in the bottom of the inning for the 5-4 win.

Lady Norse down Lafayette Central Catholic By Gary Andrews The Northfield softball team took the trek to Lafayette Saturday and came away with a 4-1 win over Central C a t h o l i c . The game was scoreless for the first four innings before the Norse broke the ice in the top of the fifth. Shelby Ward led off with a single and was

advanced clear to third by Jordan Keaffaber. Ward would then score on a wild pitch to lead 10. Central Catholic would tie the score in the bottom of the inning, but the Norse didn’t make the long trip for nothing. In the sixth Kianna Kendall would lead off with a double and was moved to third by Paige Holley.

Lauren Early then hit a grounder to second with Kendall being thrown out at the plate. Abby Keaffaber then belted a two run shot over the left field fence for a 3-1 lead. The Norse had a shot at adding another run when Breanna Burcroff and Ward hit back to back singles before a fly out ended the inning.

Northfield would add on one more run in the seventh. Olivia Taylor hit a one out single and went to second on a Kendall ground out. Taylor would then steal third before a Holley walk put runners on the corners. Early would then reach on an error to short, scoring Taylor for the 4-1 score.

It was a typical baseball game between Southwood and Northfield Friday at the Launching Pad at Southwood with one big inning by the Knights being the decider. The Knights Clay Hinrichsen hit a grand slam in the sixth as Southwood clinched a share of the TRC title with a 7-2 win over the Norse. Northfield would grab a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Dylin Brown would reach on a one out error and later score on a Shane Vigar double. The game would stay 1-0 until the

Knights got even in the bottom of the third. Nathan Hollars led off the inning with a double before stealing third and scoring on a Dustin Curless grounder. The Knights would grab a 3-1 lead in the fifth when Hollars singled and stole second. A Norse error then loaded the bases for the Knights before a one out Zach Ball fly made it 2-1. After a Robbie Cole walk, pinch runner Jonathan Collins would score on a wild pitch as the Knights led 3-1. The Norse would draw a run closer in the top of the sixth when Adam Roser led off the inning

with a home run, but Knight pitcher Robbie Cole settled down to get out of the inning. The bottom of the sixth would be the inning the Knights were waiting for as Jacob Lloyd led off with a walk and was followed by a double from Brandin Frazier. The Norse would then intentionally walk Robbie Cole to set up a force when Hinrichsen hit a lazer over the center field fence for a grand slam and put the Knights up 7-2. To start the seventh Bryce Kendall would draw a lead off walk, but Cole then forced a fly ball and two grounders to end the game.

FROM THE FRIENDS of the Old Lafontaine Cemetery. In our old cemetery we have several types of monuments or markers that need restoration. The types of markers used to

identify a burial was determined then, just as it is today, costs.....The most typical is the tablet marker. They could measure between 10-inches and 22-inches wide by 36 inches high with 35 to 40 percent of it buried in the ground. The approximate cost to clean and reset the tablets will be $275 each. Granite monuments would cost about $400 to clean and reset. Marble monuments would cost about $400 to clean, reset, and remortar. Larger monuments (over head

YOUR WEEKLY I S A A C - I S M : “Whether you are a sports person or not, there are seven core values you should have to make sure success applies off the court as well as on it. Using tennis as an example, today’s successful player must be: confident, determined, engaged, professional, resilient, respectful, and tough. The last core value we will look at is “tough”. Many people think of physical strength when “tough” is mentioned, but it is much more and encompasses many qualities that help with daily life. To be “tough” means players must be able to endure periods of difficulty and adversi-

ty in training and competition, both mentally and physically. They must embrace pressure and accept the challenge to continue to grow as a player and as a person, remaining resolute in their desire to succeed. What a great value for life! Players should continually strive to develop these values throughout their training and play-both on and off the court. Players that exhibit these seven core values every day will achieve the ultimate goal of competing-and behaving-like a champion.” AS ALWAYS, do me a favor and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Local Superior Court Judge applies for seat on Court of Appeals By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Indiana J u d i c i a l N o m i n a t i n g C o m m i t t e e announced Wabash Superior Court Judge Christopher M. Goff is one of eight applicants hoping to fill a future vacancy on the Indiana Court of Appeals. The opportunity to serve on the Appellate Court arose after Appellate Judge Ezra Friedlander announced his plans to retire on Aug. 31. Goff, who has served as a fulltime trial court judge for the past 10 years, said this opening vacancy is an opportunity to continue his judicial service at a higher level. “I’m interested in serving on the Court of Appeals of Indiana because I think it would provide an opportunity

that would allow me to serve a greater number of people,” he said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “I haven’t really been as interested in applying to the Supreme Court as much as I have for that intermediate job on the Court of Appeals just because I feel that that’s more of my personality. I really just prefer to serve and do the work, so the opportunity to write and collaborate with the other judges is highly appealing to me.” Originally established on a temporary basis handle the Supreme Court’s overflow cases, the Appellate Court’s now permanent assists the higher court in deciding most of the appeals from the trial courts on a three-judge panel, Goff said. “The judge’s job is always difficult

because some people present you with some very difficult questions,” Goff continued. “Even if it’s a routine legal problem, it can still be something that people have a lot of emotions tied to and sometimes a lot of money and loved ones or periods of their life they might lose due to incarceration. “I always try and treat every case that comes before me with the attention that it deserves. In my court, there’s between 4-8,000 cases filed in a typical year and so it’s just difficult to spend all the time that you’d like to on every case and I think that the service on the Appellate Court would provide an opportunity to do more of that.” The reason Goff added his name to the list of higher court judge candidates was because “the opportunity to apply is something

that only comes up very, very rarely,” Goff said. “Service on the Court of Appeals is even geographically limited,” he continued. “There are five districts that comprise the Court of Appeals. … In order to qualify for one of these vacancies, a judge has to retire and he or she has to reside in the same district as you do. So it is really something that only comes up so often.” The Appellate Court’s application process includes submitting ten original copies and one electronic copy of the application form with writing samples, letters of recommendation, and a doctor’s note stating that an applicant is healthy enough to serve to the Indiana J u d i c i a l N o m i n a t i n g Commission, Goff said. The commission then reviews and selects which applicants they will

Local Superior Court Judge ...continued from page 35 tion for the Court of Appeals. “During that time, in that capacity, I’m disposed to tens of thousands of cases,” he contin-

ued. “I’ve never had a decision reversed on appeal and I’ve taken significant steps to increase the caseload of the Wabash Superior Court. I’ve implemented a number of new and innovative programs to afford people better out-

comes in their cases, and these would include the Wabash County Drug Court and the Wabash County Family Drug Treatment Court.” Additionally, on the state-wide level, Goff has served as the chair of the

Protection Order Committee at the Indiana Judicial Conference. However, Goff said it is not for him to decide if he belongs on the Appellate Court bench. “If I am selected then I will feel as

though I am meant to serve,” the local judge said. “But if I’m not, I really do love my job so I will be happy to stay here and continue serving as long as Wabash County will have me. I do love service on the trial bench.”
