Candidates discuss TIF, other issues Chili Cook-off draws thousands By Joseph Slacian Jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Thousands of visitors crowded into the Paradise Spring Historical Park on Saturday to sample chili prepared by 87 different teams during the Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-Off. In the end, deep fried chili prepared by the Revolutionary Chili team won the People’s Choice category, determined by the number of tickets the team collected from those who sampled the chili. The team also won first place in showmanship for its booth, decorated with a theme featuring various founding fathers and presidents. “We had a great time with it this year,” the team’s head cook, Jordan Tandy said. “The planning and build-up to the cook-off is almost as fun as the event (continued on page 13)

Hoy receives award from IACED By The Paper staff Abby Hoy, executive assistant of the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County, was among those recently honored by the Indiana Association for C o m m u n i t y E c o n o m i c D e ve l o p m e n t (IACED) during a program designed to recognize excellence in community economic development programs and leadership. The award was presented Oct. 7 at the 2015 Planning P r o s p e r i t y Conference at the Century Center in South Bend. IACED and the American P l a n n i n g Association-Indiana Chapter organized the conference for members, partners, and supporters.

Adult coloring books are one of 2015’s biggest and perhaps most-unexpected art trends, widely touted for its stress-relieving benefits, according to an article on Artnet.com. “Publisher’s Weekly traces the current popularity of coloring books for adults back to 2012,” the article continues, “when Artt h e r a p i e : 1 0 0 Coloriages anti-stress, was published in France.

Just can’t keep them in print fast enough, ‘Lesley O’Mara, the managing director of Michael O’Mara Books, which has no less than 24 adult coloring book titles, told the New Yorker.” Adult coloring books will be discussed by Christine Curless at the 23rd annual “Live Life Conference” Nov. 7 at the Honeywell Center here. This year’s confer-

ence will feature 20 workshops by 18 professional counselors and educators. Curless’ workshop, entitled “Using the Creative Process to Enhance Well-being: Using Art to Connect with Emotion,” is one of several new workshops incorporated into this year’s lineup. This year’s keynote speaker, making his first appearance, is Nathan Foster, associate professor of social work and theology at Spring Arbor (Mich.) University. He has a Masters Degree in social work from the University of Denver. Foster will lead two workshops: “Addiction Recovery” in the morning session and “The Gift and Wound of Offering Our Presence to One Another” in the afternoon.

Long: “As mayor, if a home is truly unsafe and poses a danger to our community, the best option may be to demolish that home. I have a vision of houses that are not potentially unsafe, but abandoned, partnering with Habitat for Humanity or the Heartland Career Center to maybe refurbish the houses, flip them and get them back on the market so they stay on the tax rate. “We also have an area on the north end of the city, where there are 13 lots that can’t be built on because we have

storm water runoff coming into that area. I would like to work with the property owner of that property to create a detention pond so we can alleviate the flooding in that area.” Weaver: “To keep going on that idea, a lot of it is off the Salamonie Road, there where the hospital said they wanted to build, and the hospital and Radabaugh kind of got together and said we would help you. Now the hospital is looking at the north side of 24. If in that area they are talking about putting a retention pond to help be able to build homes there. “You may have to (continued on page 5)

Downs named WMI executive director ... continued from the front page long delay in a n n o u n c i n g Gardner’s resignation. “ W a b a s h Marketplace wanted an opportunity to formulate a game-plan to take our next steps after Mrs. Gardner’s resignation and we have been incredibly fortunate in doing just that,” he said. Callahan said WMI officials are pleased to have selected Downs for the position.

“We are excited to have Steve on board and look forward to his leadership,” Callahan said. Downs, who will continue to maintain his full-time law practice, is the senior partner with the law firm of Tiede Metz Downs Tandy & Petruniw, concentrating his practice in the areas of creditor’s rights, business planning and organization, real estate, elder law,

estate planning and administration, and general litigation. A graduate of Wabash High School, Downs has B.S. and J.D. degrees from Indiana University. Since returning to Wabash, he has served as president of H o n e y w e l l Foundation, Wabash Rotary Club, Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, the Wabash City Schools Board, and Wabash Marketplace. Downs has also served as a director for Economic Development Group, C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County, United Fund, First National Bank in Wabash, Norwest Bank, and Indiana Lawrence Bank. He was named the City’s 1983 Distinguished Citizen, is a former city attorney, and presently serves as Wabash County attorney. “I am pleased to have this opportunity,” said Downs. Neither he nor Callahan believe his work at the law firm

will interfere with his Wabash Marketplace Inc. duties. “Everyone is busy, but it seems that we can always find time to do the things we really want to do,” Downs said. “I am passionate about Wabash and Wabash Marketplace. This is an organization that can really make a difference in making Wabash a better place to live and work. “Hopefully, I can help.” Callahan said, “Mr. Downs previously served as president of Wabash Marketplace and we are excited about the possibilities his leadership and experience can bring to the organization. As part of our strategic plan, Mr. Downs will be hiring a project manager who will be responsible for the development, conduct, execution and documentation of the Main Street program. The project manager is the principal onsite staff person responsible for managing all project activities locally.”

Candidates discuss TIF, other issues get into the business of buying some property as the city and give some incentives to developers to come in. If we ask a developer to come to Wabash and say, ‘Hey, why don’t you build some executive-style homes here?’ He’s going to say, ‘Can I get my money back in three to five years?’ Well, we don’t know that. We’ll put up a model home for him, then he doesn’t pay for the house until he gets one built on a piece of property. I just think we need to get that kind of mode and get creative.” Question: As mayor of Wabash, what would you do to promote educational attainment among adults to ensure that the community has a skilled workforce? Long: “As mayor, you have to work with the resources you currently have available. We have an Ivy Tech campus. We have adult evening classes at Heartland Career Center. And, more importantly, we have the Learn More Center that works with people to get them educated and possibly get their GED if they haven’t attained it yet. “I would work with these entities to make it as easy as possible for our citizens to attain the education they want.” Weaver: “I hate to say ditto, but those are the three areas we do need to work with.

kids are going to be able to graduate high school with certificates in a trade like welding. “We just need to work with Ivy Tech and Vincennes University with what we have here,

the Learn More Center to entice our adults as well to take these evening classes and to get their certificate in skilled labor. Without that skilled labor, it’s hard to bring industry to our area.”

Church donates truck to lighthouse mission By The Paper staff Officials at the New Journey Community Church have donated a used box truck to the Lighthouse Mission. “People helping people, that’s what many organizations in Wabash County are all about,” said Wes Cole, a member of the Lighthouse Mission board of trustees. Many years ago, Grant County Rescue Mission opened a thrift store in Wabash and was able to serve both counties on a limited basis, Cole said in a news release. In 2004, the directors of that mission decided they needed to focus on Grant County and made plans to close its Wabash County operation. A group of concerned citizens formed themselves into a board of directors and began operat-

ing Lighthouse Mission. Lighthouse Mission provides food baskets for familiesin-need during holiday seasons throughout the year. “This ministry is supported by donations of foods by businesses, groups, and individuals, the sale of donated clothing and household items, cash donations, and deep discounts from local grocery, produce, and meat suppliers. Labor donated by school groups, religious organizations, and fraternal organizations, sorts, packages, and distributes these provisions,” Cole said In 2009, Pastor Tom Cochran and his wife, Sarah, came to Wabash and joined with a local youth pastor, Matt Cox, to form a “church plant” called New Journey Community Church.

A small group of believers began to meet in various locations organizing and planning for this new church community. Meeting space provided by GrandstaffHentgen Funeral Service, Dallas W i n c h e s t e r Community Center, and the Honeywell Center, eventually led to the purchase of the W.C. Mills elementary school building as their permanent home. In the early days of New Journey, traveling was a way of life. It used a large box truck that was provided by another “church plant” from Fort Wayne. Once the church moved into the former school building, there was no long a need for the box truck. The leadership of New Journey agreed to donate the truck to Lighthouse Mission,

a lesson on what the significance is on using different postures in prayer. The Bible describes many different postures of prayer. Postures give expression to the attitudes of our hearts. In the lesson, the postures were related to the beatitudes Jesus presented in the Sermon on the Mount. Lying prostrate before God symbolizes humility. Kneeling before God is a symbol of the heart attitude. Bowing before the Lord conveys an attitude of honor and gratitude. Standing before the Lord indicates a legal right to be there – hungering and thirsting for righteousness. Sitting before the Lord is a position of authority, reflecting the beatitude of giving and receiving mercy. Looking up to Heaven indicates an open and trusting relationship. Stretching forth arms is symbolic of seeking God’s mercy and blessing. Leaping for joy is an expression of great inward joy. Whatever one’s posture, prayer is an important part on one’s relationship with God.

Housing complex gets BZA special exception By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

For the second time in as many years, a Chicago development company received a special exception to create a housing development in an area now zoned as General

Business District. The firm, JCF Real Estate, received the special exception on Thursday, Oct. 15, from the Wabash Board of Zoning Appeals. The 30-building, 60unit housing complex will be located in the area of 1300 Manchester Avenue,

received a special exception from the BZA and approval from the Wabash Plan Commission in 2014. However, according to attorney Josh Petruniw, because changes to the original plan were made, the complex must go through the entire

process again. Originally, the complex was to be located at the rear of an 8.12 acre tract of land now owned by Mike Schuler. However, to save expenses of extending water and sewage lines to the development, it was moved several hundred yards east,

closer to Manchester Avenue. The special exception was nearly not ruled on because of a problem with the legal advertisement. The advertisement which

appeared in the Wabash Plain Dealer was not as specific as the BZA required. The board, with permission from the petitioner, could still rule on the matter. However,

because the advertisement was specific, it could open the petitioner to legal action. There was no one at the meeting to speak against the project.

DAR chapter has monthly meeting Article provided

The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash with six members and guests Barry Swanquist, Willadean Tschantz, Margot Coppock, John Coppock, and speaker Mike Mullenix. Regent Joyce Joy opened the meeting with the DAR ritual. Devotions were given by Mary Jenet Penrod, Chaplin, on George Washington’s Prayer for His Country. Joyce read the October President General’s message from Lynn Forney Young. A Celebrate America! Cruise, Oct. 10-17 will travel up the New England Coast, visiting Prison Ship Martyr’s Monument, a memorial to the more than 11,500 American prisoners of war who died in captivity aboard sixteen British prison ships during the American Revolutionary War. They will also visit Ellis Island in celebration of the 125th anniversary of their founding and the efforts of DAR members who taught occupational skills to those detained there. The historic milestone in our Society’s history is a celebration for all members as we reflect on the vision of our Founders and continue to strengthen this organization for Tomorrow’s DAR. Barbara Amiss shared the National Defender report on retired Capt. Jerry Yellin, 91, Fairfield, Iowa, who flew the final combat mission of World War II over Japan on Aug. 14, 1945. Correspondence was received from Diane Knight, Northern District Director; Wabash County Historical Museum for our generous gift of $25.00; and an invitation to the annual commemoration of the A m e r i c a n Revolutionary event at

the Colonel Augustin de la Balme Memorial Site on November 7th. A report was given on Fall Forum were President General Lynn Forney Young was the featured speaker. She introduced the establishment of the Guardian Trust Campaign to provide financial security for the preservation and restoration of our home and to fund immediate restoration needs of Constitution Hall. To do this, we will seek members to help raise $25,000,000 to provide those much needed endowment funds. Current volunteer hours in Celebrate America for the chapter were 2,287. Three members attended the Oct. 7 Honor Flight at the Fort Wayne International Airport to welcome the veterans home. We are continuing to save box tops, Campbell’s Labels for Education, and plastic bottle caps for worthy projects. The members agreed to continue to do volunteer work at the Wabash County Historical Museum. A display on the Constitution Week and DAR is at the North Manchester Public Library for the next three months. Mike Mullenix, Converse, and member of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) Fishers, gave the program on the “Life of an Everyday Soldier in the Revolutionary War.” The most important weapon for the soldier was the musket. A good soldier could load and fire his musket

around three times per minute. Muskets were smooth bore weapons that fired lead balls. They were not very accurate, so regiments of soldiers would fire at the same time in a “volley” in an effort to cover a wide area. Once the enemy came within close range, soldiers would fight with a sharp blade attached to the end of the musket called a bayonet. Other gear carried by soldiers included a haversack or knapsack (like a packpack) that held food, clothing, and a blanket; a cartridge box that held extra ammunition; and a canteen filled with water or maybe fire water. The most difficult item of clothing to keep in good shape for a soldier was shoes. Many soldiers wore out their shoes on long marches and had to go barefoot. The everyday soldier was most likely in the militia. The militia was made up of citizens who were ready to fight in case of an emergency. Most cities and communities in the colonies had a militia in order to fight off Indian war parties and bandits. Most of the men between the ages of 16 and 65 were members of the militia. They only trained a few times a year. Soldiers had to buy their own uniforms, gear and weapons with their own money. A soldiers pay was about $1.50 per week. When soldier signed up for an enlistment period they were promised to receive a bounty of either money or land.

Perhaps the worst thing that could happen to a soldier was to be taken prisoner. The British treated their prisoners terribly. Over 8,500 American soldiers died while in prison, that’s almost half of all the American deaths during the war. The British barely fed the prisoners and kept them in crowded disgusting conditions. Many prisoners were held in prison ships near New York City. Getting sent to one of these ships was practically a death sentence. The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be Tuesday, November 10th at 7:00 p.m. at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash. The speaker will be Kie Ann Kirk, DAR member on the “Adventures of Cornelius “Neil” W a s h b u r n . ” Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend. The NSDAR, a nonprofit, volunteer women’s organization, has over 180,000 members in 3,000 chapters in all 50 states as well as in international chapters. Indiana has 88 chapters with 4,950 members. Any woman over the age of 18, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership.

call it a “pair of pants” when we are referring to only just one pant? For example: “I’m going to the clothing store to buy a pair of pants”. The word pair would indicate two of something, not just one. It doesn’t even sound right to say, “I’m going to the clothing store to buy a pant”. It would sound ok to say, “I’m going to the clothing store to buy a shirt”. I welcome all reasonable explanations to this addition of “Do You Know Why?” YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “Your time is valuable. Your health is very important! You like to have fun! There’s probably no better way to accomplish these things than by playing a sport. If your choice is tennis, then you have made a great decision. Tennis has been recognized as the sport for a lifetime. Tennis will benefit you physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s no accident that tennis enthusiasts have slimmer waistlines than the average person. It’s not uncommon to see senior players active and vibrant well past their 90’s. Plus, what parent wouldn’t want their children to develop discipline, manage mistakes, learn to compete and accept responsibility through their growing years? Sure, tennis may be a little tough and challenging sometimes, but the many advantages make it worth your time and effort. You have made a great decision to play tennis now and you will be rewarded throughout your life!” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

itself. “We really enjoy all of the goodnatured trash talking and camaraderie with the other teams. And it’s a great excuse to invite family and friends into town to show off Wabash. We can’t wait until next year.” The event, held annually the third Saturday in October, is helping nine local charities this year. Funds for the groups are raised a variety of ways, Chili committee chair Todd Titus told The Paper of Wabash County. Those attending are asked for a $5 donation to sample the chili, he noted. There also is a raffle, as well as a 50-50 drawing, he continued. Corporate sponsorship also helps raise funds, as does a $10,000 donation from the Wabash County United Fund. Organizers hope to surpass the $400,000 mark in donations this year, committee member Steve Weir

said. Titus said that helping the charities is one of the things he likes best about the event. “Seeing how grateful the charities that that we give the money to is one of the things I like,” he said. “The charities are appreciative of the money we give to them.” Living Well in Wabash County is one of the organizations benefiting from this year’s event. Living Well CEO Beverley Ferry said the group to help obtain additional federal funds would use the fund. Living Well oversees the Wabash County Transit system, which helped

provided free transportation to and from the event and the Wabash High School parking lot, where the public was invited to park to help alleviate congested traffic near Paradise Spring Historical Park. In addition to letting local cooks show off their chili expertise, the cook-off serves as a judging contest for those involved with the Chili Appreciation S o c i e t y International. To participate in the event, the chili must be free of any fillers, such as beans or pasta. Committee member Brian Campbell explained that judges look for a

variety of things while judging in the contest. Color, consistency, taste and after taste are among the criteria judges look for, he said. Being in charge of arranging judges, Campbell admits he has some free time on his hands during the daylong event. “This is the funniest time of the year,” he said. “I’m a people watcher. I love watching people.” The total amount of funds collected will be determined in the coming weeks as the chili committee must determine

which group gets what amount of funding. In addition to Living Well in Wabash County, those receiving funds this year from the Chili for Charity event are: 85 Hope, The FAME Festival, the Honeywell E d u c a t i o n a l Outreach Program, the Manchester Early Learning Center, the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society, the Access Youth Center, Town of Roann, and the Wabash Challenger League.

VIEWPOINT

A vote for McClary Dear Editor: We would like to openly declare our support for Aaron McClary for the position of Wabash City Councilman for District 2. Aaron is an extremely credible person as he has a bachelor’s degree in youth ministry and a master’s degree in pastoral leadership and is currently taking classes toward earning an MBA in strategic leadership. With the current political climate consisting of a “what’s in

it for me: attitude, Aaron is very refreshing as he has a true heart for people – including the City of Wabash and its citizens. With his experience as a youth minister at one of Wabash County’s largest churches, a Kids Hope mentor, a volunteer at the Access Youth Center, co-founder of the Campus Life program at Wabash High School, and as a devoted family man, Aaron embodies the definition of servant-leadership.

Aaron is trustworthy and honest and he understands that remaining transparent and accessible to his constituents is key as he works on issues like bringing more jobs to our area, lowering crime and drug statistics, and improving the overall quality of life for Wabash Citizens. We are confident that Aaron McClary is the best candidate for Wabash City Council, District 2. – Terry and Sue Hann, Wabash

Laketon Lions appreciate support Dear Editor: The Laketon Lions wishes to thank all who attended the annual fish fry at Warvel Park on Sept. 17. A very special thank you to Manchester High

School Boosters and parents, New Market, Main View, Sharon Smith and the Park Department. Thanks for making the annual event a success. It allows the club to contribute to

local comm. unity needs, club projects and achieve goals of club growth and development. – Thelma Butler, Public Relations chair

Debates were beneficial Dear Editor I wanted to take this time to thank the Chamber, and the Moose for their interest in the process of electing the next Wabash mayor. I have been to many local debates and forums over the past 16 years that I have been involved and interested in local politics. I have never witnessed a larger crowd than was at the Eagles Theater. I

think that there is a lot of interest in this municipal election. I wanted to go to the Moose but I couldn’t make it sadly. However what i heard back and read, it too had a good turnout, and was well attended by the candidates. The Chamber and Moose did a very impressive job hitting on issues and topics that are important to the vast majority of Wabash resi-

dents: jobs, drugs, taxes, the Stellar grant. These two debates or forums were not a waste of time. Now the three candidates have for the most part laid out their best case for their respected campaigns, and the City of Wabash now has the great task of electing a new Mayor and City Council. Remember to vote Wabash. — Chad Harris, Wabash

Tiede family appreciates help in fight against ALS Dear Editor: We would like to express our sincere appreciation to everyone who participated in, donated to or otherwise supported last week’s 2nd Annual ALS Walk For Julie to raise money and awareness of the terrible disease, Amiotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Our mom, Julie Tiede has been fighting ALS for three year and we are new to fundraising. It was wonderful to see the phenomenal support shown by our community to help support our mom and to raise money to help defeat ALS. We look forward to seeing this walk continue to grow in the coming years. We especially want to thank the sponsors, without whom it would not have

been as successful: Mike and Anne Bechtol and Derek Lucas, from Bechtol’s Grocery Company, Brian Howenstine from True Value Hardware/Just Do It Rental, Bobby

Thank you to Sebrina Cline for organizing the event, Larry Miller for being the auctioneer, M a n c h e s t e r Community School students for decorating the chairs, and to

the people who purchased the chairs. The money raised will go to county cancer patients. – Theresa Sites, Wabash County Cancer Society

Frances Slocum Chapter, DAR, honors namesake Article provided On Sunday, Oct. 11, the Frances Slocum Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolutionary (DAR) joined chapters all over the United States on celebrating DAR’s 125th anniversary. DAR was founded on Oct. 11, 1890, in Washington D.C. They included suffragists, socialites, single women with office jobs, wives of prominent men, and widows who supported their families as teachers and businesswomen. They hailed from cities and rural areas in both the North and the South. Despite their differences, they shared a heritage and a cause that brought them together; the bloodline of Patriots and the desire to

honor and advance the legacy of ancestors who fought for American independence. The local chapter chose to honor the memory of its namesake Frances Slocum at the Frances Slocum Cemetery with a wreath ceremony. Frances Slocum, a Quaker girl who became the wife of a Miami Indian chief, is perhaps one of the most interesting women in Wabash County. Frances was born in Rhode Island in 1773. In 1777, the family set up their home along the Susquehanna River in the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania. At the time, Native Americans were fighting the British army in the Revolutionary War. After the Battle

of Wyoming in July, 1778, many settlers left the area, but the Slocums, who believed their friendly relations with the Native Americans would protect them, remained. On November 2, 1778, five-year-old Frances was kidnapped by a band of Delaware Indians, along with Wareham Kingsley, a neighbor boy. In 1835, 60 years after her abduction, Frances related her story to George Ewing. A letter was sent to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, inquiring if any Slocum still lived in the area. Invigorated by the latest news, the Slocums revived their search. Three of Frances’ siblings, Joseph, Isaac and Mary, traveled to Indiana finding her at Deaf Man’s Village, an

Osago village located on the Wabash and Miami County Line at the mouth of the Mississinewa River. Her husband was Miami Indian chief, “Deaf Man.” Their union produced four children; two sons, who died young, and daughters “Cut Finger,” and “Yellow Leaf,” and they lived in the village with her, along with their own families. Frances died in 1847, age 74. DAR membership is open to any woman 18 years of age, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution. Those having questions about their family history lineage information may contact Linda Thompson at 260-563-4662 or Barbara Amiss at 260982-4376.

Indiana receives Chinook salmon eggs From the Department of Natural Resources Wisconsin and Indiana fisheries biologists worked together earlier this month to save Indiana’s plan for stocking Chinook salmon in Lake Michigan in 2016. Indiana normally receives Chinook eggs each year from Michigan, but recordlow numbers of fish returning to streams from Lake Michigan to spawn left Michigan unable to spare eggs for Indiana. On short notice, the Wisconsin DNR offered to let Indiana use the Root River Steelhead Facility in Racine, Wisconsin, as a backup source for Chinook salmon eggs. On Oct. 10, Indiana DNR biologists and hatchery staff worked alongside Wisconsin DNR staff to spawn more than 100 pairs of C h i n o o k s . Approximately 539,000 viable eggs are now resting in incubation trays at

Mixsawbah State Fish Hatchery near Walkerton. That is likely more than enough to meet the 2016 production goal of 200,000 fingerlings. Had the Indiana DNR not taken advantage of Wisconsin DNR’s offer, no Chinooks would be stocked in Indiana waters in 2016. The Chinooks will be given a coded wire tag in March 2016, and stocked in late April 2016. These tagged fish will be identified by having a missing adipose fin, and be the fifth-year class of Chinook salmon marked under the lake-wide federal Great Lakes Mass Marking Program. The rapidly changing Lake Michigan ecosystem further underscores the need for agencies around the lake to work together to manage the fishery. These partnerships have been in existence for decades but the partners involved expect their importance to increase.

cation cycle will start. Wabash County Habitat for Humanity is located at 375 Manchester Ave. in Wabash. For more information or to support the organization, contact Wimberly at 260-5639188, email wabashhabitat85@gmail.co m or follow the organization on Facebook at facebook.com/WabashCo

SQU I RREL CREEK

After serving as Wabash County Habitat for Humanity executive director for two years, Steve Miller is resigning his position for personal reasons, the Wabash County Habitat for Humanity board announced on Oct. 15. In a press release, Miller stated, “I am pleased to have been a part of building onto the strong legacy of this Habitat Affiliate and helping the Board achieve their goal of working in partnership with our community to address the problem of substandard and poverty housing here in Wabash and across the globe.” Wabash resident Maggie Wimberly will take over Miller’s work and serve as business manager in the interim. In an interview with The Paper of Wabash County, Wimberly said it was a shock to hear Miller was leaving the organization. “He has brought this organization a really long distance,” she continued. “I wish him all the best with his endeavors.” A graduate of M a n c h e s t e r University, Wimberly has a strong background in finance and accounting, and plans to assist the organization with her knowledge and skills, she said. “At this time, I’ll be continuing (the organization’s) operations and going after grants for a permanent position to follow me,” Wimberly said. “One of the hardest steps for a non-profit organization is to go from vol-

unteer-run to having paid staff and Steve helped the organization bridge that hurdle, and so I’m able to come in behind him and perhaps strengthen up what his weaker parts were. “He is absolutely amazing at building partnerships and building community. My strong point is administration (like) codifying procedures, insuring all of the details are tied out, more of back office things that really don’t wow the public but are absolutely necessary for success of a nonprofit organization.” Wimberly also has social service experience after having managed a volunteer run food pantry and federal food giveaway program for low-income seniors for Living Well in Wabash County where she also served as accounting manager. She is married to Ware W. Wimberly III and has two daughters. Although Miller is resigning, due in part to his and the board’s efforts, the organization is slated to build two new homes within the next year in Wabash and North Manchester. The Wabash County Habitat for Humanity has served the local community for 24 years, working with volunteers, donors, churches, business and local government to build 16 affordable homes throughout the county. “I think it is a wonderful organization to have in our county,” Wimberly said. “It has worked tirelessly for 24 years to partner with lowincome families who desire to be homeowners, which can be

By The Paper staff October is Champions Month for the Wabash County Promise. The organization is seeking communities members to promise to be a student’s champion this month by donating $25 toward the student’s college education. The goal of the Wabash County Promise is for all youth to believe that they can have a great future, and that they can plan and prepare for many options after high school. The organization

believes that students need to know that there are many paths they can take to have a successful life journey. Believing they are on a path is essential for students to gain motivation and take the steps necessary to achieve their highest potential, according to the Wabash County Promise. To achieve this goal, it takes the whole county making and keeping a promise. Students promise to prepare for their future by working hard in school today. Schools promise to provide opportunities for students to discover college and careers and create the academic foundation on which students can build. Champions promise to convey the expectation that every student can have success after high school and that our community will encourage and support every student to achieve that success. Whether teachers, family members, friends, neighbors, or community members, champions can help students succeed by encouraging them at every step on their path in life. Since its start in 2013, over 500 youth have participated in finding their champions and earning a community match of $75 for their CollegeChoice 529 accounts. Students respond to the level of expectations held of them by the adults in their lives. When adults begin to hold all students to high expectations for achievement and success, it can make a real and

meaningful difference in students’ lives. All youth in the county are encouraged to talk to champions— adults in their lives who support them— about their dreams for the future. All students in kindergarten through third grade are eligible for a $75 community gift deposit to their CollegeChoice529 account if they can raise $25 in their own contributions during the month. Youth in these grades received a piggy bank, sponsored by Crossroads Bank, to college champion contributions throughout the month. In order to earn the $75 community match, the kindergarten through third grade students must either receive an online deposit in their account in the amount of $25 or return $25 for their account to school by Friday, Oct. 30. Personal checks are welcome but cashier’s checks, money orders, and cash are not accepted. Personal checks should be made out to UGift – CollegeChoice Direct and the students’ account number must be written in the memo line. More information about making a deposit is available through all elementary schools, online at www.wabashcountypromise.org, or by calling the YMCA at 260-563-9622. To learn more about the Wabash County Promise or to get involved, contact Phil Maurizi at 260-563-9622 or pmaurizi@wabashcountymca.org.

23 SPORTS Squire girls’ cross country team advances to semi-state Rohr moves on for boys’ team THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

October 21, 2015

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com The Manchester High School girls’ cross country team continues their strong season with a second place finish at the Culver Academies Regional to advance as a team to the New Prairie Semi-State this Saturday. Rae Bedke once again led the Squires by finishing fourth overall with a time of 19:36.4. Manchester had three runners in the top 20 with Clara Burdette finishing in 16th place with a time of 20:35.2, while Tahnee Fuentes cross the line in 18th place with a time of 20:44.3. Emily Lynn scored points for the Squires with a 34th place finish with a time of 21:28.4, as did Sarah Rohr with a 41st place finish in 21:33.3.

Jaelyn Webb finished the race in 44th place with a time of 21:37.8, and Natasha Niccum was 63rd in 22:22.9. “Our girls continue to impress with another solid performance, finishing only behind 7th ranked Warsaw,” Manchester coach Jody Sarber said. “Clara ran a great race with a big PR of 20:35, and Emily Lynn also set a new PR of 21:28. “We didn’t advance to semi-state on the back of any one runner, but rather with the effort of the entire team,” he added. “At every meet this year, if one girl had a bad race, there was someone else there ready to step up to help the team. It has been a fun season working with a positive and dedicated group.” 1. Warsaw-25 2. Manchester-92 3. Western-119 4. Northwestern-

Maconaquah comes from behind to top Squires By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — It looked like the Manchester Squires were going to close out the regular season with a senior night win, but in the end, Maconaquah came back from a 27-7 third quarter deficit to pull out a 28-27 win. Maconaquah’s Luke Hann found James Wilkison for a 35-yard touchdown strike with 1:45 left in the fourth quarter to give the Braves the lead and eventual win. The Squires jumped out to a 7-0 lead on their first possession that saw quarterback Bailey Ness score on a 47-yard run with 7:56 left in the first quarter. Maconaquah quickly tied things up with a 12-play drive and Jarred Spohn scoring on a seven-yard run

with 3:43 left in the first. But the rest of the half belonged to the Squires. After both teams traded punts, the Squires took over on their 41-yard line. Ness connected on passes of 24 and 15 yards, along with a 15yard run to get the ball to the nine-yard line. Ness then found Keelan Norwood an a screen play for a touchdown with 7:55 left in the half to take a 14-7 lead. The Braves threatened to tie it up late in the second quarter, moving the ball to the Manchester 16-yard line, but on a fourth and one, Hann’s pass was off the mark, giving the Squires the ball back with 41 seconds left in the half. Ness and Norwood struck again, surprising the Braves when the Squire quarter-

back hit Norwood for an 84-yard touchdown, giving Manchester a 21-7 lead heading into halftime. After a Maconaquah punt in the opening possession of the third quarter, the Squires were off to the races again when Ness hit Kane Gable for a 40-yard touchdown pass with 7:34 left in the third quarter to take a 27-7 lead. With Manchester in complete control of the game, the Braves pushed back and got themselves back into contention. Maconaquah used short passing game to move the ball to the Squire one-yard line, and Hann cut the lead to 27-14 with a quarterback sneak. After a Manchester punt, the Braves drove 82 yards on seven plays and cut the lead to 27-21 early

The Squires had one last shot, moving the ball to the 40-yard line with 25 seconds remaining, but Daniel Stephenson picked off Ness at the Brave’s five-yard line to secure the win.

Norse down North Miami in TRC playoff game By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Jensen Frieden had two first quarter touchdowns and Jarred Short added another as the N o r t h f i e l d Norsemen easily defeated winless North Miami, 27-7, on Friday, Oct. 16, in the Three Rivers Conference playoff game. Short opened the scoring for Northfield on its first possession, running 39 yards for the touchdown with 10:43 left in the quarter. Just more than three minutes later, Frieden scored from 32 yards out. At the 2:32 mark, Frieden found the end zone again, this time from two yards out. Noah Shear added the extra-point kicks after each TD to build a 21-0

Northfield lead. The Norse scored for the last time with nine seconds left in the half. Kyle Reed scored on a 36-yard run. Shear’s kick failed, as the Norse took a 27-0 lead into the locker room. After neither team scored in the third quarter, North Miami finally got on the scoreboard, thanks to a 53-yard pass play with 9:07 left in the contest. After a successful extra-point kick, the Warriors cut into Northfield’s lead, 277. Neither team scored the rest of the game. Northfield ends the regular season with a 4-5 overall record, 24 in the TRC. The Norse will host Caston on Friday in the opening round of the IHSAA’s Sectional 43. Caston is 1-8 on the season.

Hospital gala to have French theme By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Parkview Wabash Foundation will host the 21st annual Foundation Gala on Nov. 14 at the Honeywell Center. The theme for this year’s event is “An Evening in Paris” and, as always, the benefit will raise money for hospital equipment. Proceeds from the event will go toward the purchase of a new stereotactic breast biopsy system for the Women’s Center at Parkview Wabash Hospital. The equipment will enable women to receive a minimally invasive biopsy procedure with many benefits over surgically performed biopsies, the foundation’s new director, Beth Squires Stein said. The equipment is highly accurate, safe and nearly pain-free, she noted, and it is

also less expensive than open surgery biopsies. “Usually they would have to put you under with an anesthetic and then they would do the biopsy,” Squires Stein said. “This one is a machine, and they just push it in and they can look at it when they’re doing it to make sure it gets right to the right spot. “It then captures the cells and it pulls them out. It doesn’t leave a trail of cells or anything. It’s really clean. Then all you do is put a Band-Aid over it and you can walk out.” Wabash Parkview Hospital is one of two hospitals in the Parkview Health System that currently has such a machine. “It’s a really unique feature of our hospital,” she said. “But the technology needs to be updated. We need the newest tech-

nology, so we’re really going to be fundraising for two years for this.” The system costs about $500,000, Squires Stein noted, adding, “the Gala proceeds are not going to pay for the whole thing, but it makes it possible to buy it.” Parkview’s Breast Diagnostic Center in Fort Wayne is the only other facility in the Parkview system to have such a piece of equipment. “It’s an example of what the Gala does,” she continued. There are few changes in the Gala’s format. “It’s going to be very much the same event that it has been for years,” according to the Foundation’s new director, Beth Squires Stein. “We’ll have talent that will be the entertainment, and then we’ll ask people to donate and choose their favorite. “The votes are

tokens that are essentially donations to the hospital.” A full list of entertainers will be announced closer to the event. While the Gala will remain primarily the same, there will be one major difference: There will be no raffle drawing at the event. “It’s gambling and it’s outside Parkview’s corporate philosophy,” Stein said. Foundation officials hope those who purchased raffle tickets in the past will contintribute those funds to the Gala, even without the change of winning jackpots in return. “We’d love for them to take those donations and consider donating them to the charity mammogram fund,” Stein said. “If you purchased six raffle tickets for $100, you know, that will pay for a lot of mammograms.” Both Squires Stein and Foundation Board President Jim Reynolds stressed that all gifts to the (Continued on page 30)

Manchester’s Karg falls at tennis regional By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com Max Karg finished a stellar senior season Saturday afternoon after a 6-3, 6-3 loss to Austin Mohamedali of East Noble at the LaPorte Regional. M o h a m e d a l i jumped out to early leads in both sets, but Karg fought back each set, only to come up short. In the first set, Mohamedali raced out to a 4-0 lead, but

Karg won three of the next four games to cut it to 5-3, but the hardserving Mohamedali served out the set 6-4. The second set wasn’t much different at Mohamedali went up 4-1 before Karg closed the game to 4-3. But East Noble’s number one player took control to win two long games to pull it out 6-3. “Max has been a great leader and great player for our team all season,” coach Eric Screeton said. “We knew we would be in a tough match today. It’s

THE PAPER OF

always difficult to see young men like Max finish a career, but he never quit, led by example and always left everything he had out on the court. More importantly, his impact will be felt for many years to come.” Karg finishes the season with an 18-2 record, leading the team to a 5-1 second place finish in the TRC, and advancing individually in the state tournament with the number one doubles team of Noah Cain and Matthew Pegg.
