76-year old car gets new life Wabash man fulfills goal of restoring 1940 Oldsmobile By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

This is a story that some may say was 76 years in the making. Others could rightfully argue that it was a mere seven years in the making. Whichever route one chooses, it can be said it is a story about a man on a mission, a mission he completed earlier this spring. Lawrence Denney, who retired as president of Denney Motor Sales in 2008, set out in 2009 to restore a 1940 Oldsmobile 60 series two-door sedan. “I had two main things driving me to re-do it,” Denney said, sitting at the

kitchen table of his Sivey Street home. “First off, my wife Beverly drove our children Tim and Sharon to junior high school in this car. Secondly, it was the first year for the Hydramatic transmissions. “I guess those two things influenced my decision to do it.” Introduced in 1939 for the 1940 model year vehicles, the Hydramatic was the first fully automatic mass-produced transmission developed for passenger automobile use. While restoration work began seven years ago, the family’s ties to the car go much, much deeper. “When my Dad was still living he

traded for this car,” Denney said. “It was a two-owner car, but the second owner just had it for a very short period of time. He was a local person who bought it for his son. His son ruined the engine on it in just a short time. “It sat over at the garage probably three months with no plan as to what to do with it. Then Dad traded for a 1942, which had a very similar engine, which was wrecked and so I took that engine and put into this car.” Mrs. Denney drove her son and daughter to school between 1961 and 1964. Sharon (Denney) Shaw remembers (continued on page 6)

The MSD of Wabash County Board of Education began consolidation discussions earlier this month and Wabash citizens are calling for more transparency from the school’s administration. Several members of the public voiced that opinion at the Board’s bi-monthly meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Rosa Sparling, a former Southwood High School teacher, suggested the Board be more open after asking what all could be disclosed about its executive discussions. The Board met for two executive sessions to discuss consolidation on Sept. 1 and following its Tuesday night meeting “Obviously, the only thing that we really are required to (list on the session minutes) is consolidation,” Superintendent Mike Keaffaber, “and so as far as specifics, as those are confidential meetings, that we don’t discuss at this time, what happens is you cannot do any kind of vote, make any decisions during that time. “So at a later time, if anything comes from that then it would come from these meetings and then

A Wabash man was ordered Thursday to demolish a home deemed unsafe by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety. Meanwhile, a father and son were given 30

days to prove to the board they had the means to repair another home before it decides if the home should be demolished. The man, Gary Frank, was given 30 days to demolish the home at 437 N. East St. If not, the city will begin the process of demolishing the home

on its own. Wabash Building Commissioner John Stephens told the board that the home was heavily damaged by fire. He said the home is vacant, dilapidated, is a fire hazard and is hurting the value of surrounding homes. He also said the structure, as it

He said the building is structurally sound, and asked the board to order the Mulletts to repair the building and, if they were unable to fix it, to order it demolished. Terry Mullett said the home is titled in both his and his son’s name, though his son is buying it on contract. He said his son had plans to repair the home, but broke his leg and was off work for three months. He said they are trying to negotiate a sale of the site to someone who would like to repair it, and asked for the 30-day extension to see how it plays out. If the sale fails or they don’t have the funds to fix the home, he said, “I’ll do what I have to do to get it down.”

stands, is a health danger, uninhabitable and should be considered a nuisance. The board, reading a letter from Frank’s attorney, said he would like to sell the property and put the money toward the demolition. However, the board believes it will be easier to sell the property once the building is demolished. The father and son – Terry and Josh Mullett – are to report to the board on Oct. 20 to prove they have the funding to repair a home at 990 Pike St. Stephens told the board that he has received several complaints about the structure. He said it has holes in the roof, the yard has rarely been mowed and has been in an unfit condition for some time.

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Council concluded its budget hearings Monday, Sept. 12, and approved more than $1.7 million in cuts from its 2017 budget. In total, the Council cut $1,744,068, approximately $58,000 less than what it needed to. On Thursday, Sept. 8, Deputy Auditor B.J. Grube informed the Council that its budget was $1,802,253 over the max levy. More than $654,000 was cut from the Wabash County Commissioner’s proposed budget, but the councilmen made no cuts to salaries, according to Bill Ruppel, council vice chair. Among the cuts was $5,000 from the Wabash County Animal Shelter. The shelter, which is a non-profit entity, was to receive $70,000, but will now receive $65,000. During preliminary budget reviews on Sept. 6, Ruppel questioned why the shelter was receiving so much money from the county. He said he

thought that there was a movement to cut the funding. C o u n t y Commissioners Barry Eppley and Brian Haupert both said that the shelter was to receive $75,000 in the 2016 budget, but that had been cut to $70,000. One thing that was left alone was salaries. Full-time employees in the various Wabash County government offices will receive a $1,000 across-the-board wage increase for 2017, under a recommendation from the local wage committee. Also under the recommendation, parttime workers could receive a 3 percent increase. The wage committee’s recommendation also called for $3,000 increases for the county’s merit officers. The increase would put the average merit officer’s pay at $45,000, which is still under the state average of $47,800. The Council will vote to approve the 2017 budget at its monthly meeting, Sept. 26.

Council gives city budget initial OK By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A public hearing on the 2017 budget took place Monday night before the Wabash City Council meeting. One person, former City Council member Paul Lewis spoke during the

hearing. He said he hasn’t had a chance to completely study the budget, but urged council members to reconsider it, especially when it comes to pay raises for the council. He said he was speaking for several people who believed the raises were not necessary. As it stands now,

council members are slated to receive just less than $6,800 next year, with the council president, who also serves as mayor pro temp, receiving an additional $1,500. Lewis said that during his time on the council he kept track of his time devoted to city business for one year. “What I’m about to

tell you might blow your mind,” he continued, adding that he received $285 per hour for the amount of time he put toward city business. “My reason for standing up and letting you know my concern as a taxpayer, you do not work hard enough to make $285 an hour,” he told the council. “None of

you do. You can’t justify it. What I’m saying in the past I never was opposed to pay raises for people who did it to make a living. But the City Council doesn’t have this job to make a living. “It’s a lucrative part-time job, to say the least. … You need to take a look in the mirror and sincerely

Family gathers to remember fallen soldier Article provided The family of the late Albert E. and Katherine Brubaker recently gathered for a 50- year remembrance of their son, PFC. Max L. Brubaker, who died in Vietnam on Aug. 25, 1966. A service was held at the Ijamsville United Methodist Church by the Rev. Kent Harding. Following the service, family and friends proceeded to the gravesite at Laketon Cemetery. Flowers and a picture of PFC Brubaker had been placed on the tombstone by nephews Dennis and Rodney

Brubaker. At the cemetery, a service of celebration of his life was held for family members and friends in remembrance of PFC Brubaker. The American flag belonging to his brother, the late Wayne Brubaker, was raised, while flag balloons tagged with PFC Brubaker’s birth date and the day he died were released along with one silver balloon, representing the Silver Star, awarded posthumously to him for “Gallantry in Action” on Aug. 25, 1966. Following the services, the family and friends were served a

with the state, which is required by Indiana statute. As it stands now, the city budget is $17,356,009. The proposed city tax rate would be $2.11145. The council, at its regular meeting, adopted the budget on first reading. It will consider it on second reading when the council meets on Sept. 26.

and honestly ask yourself, ‘Am I worthy of that pay raise?’ And if honestly and sincerely you know that you’re not, you should vote against it and redo that portion of the budget.” None of the council members responded to Lewis’ allegations. Lewis also told the council that he plans to file a complaint about the budget

EDG to seek Regional Cities funds By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Economic Development Group of Wabash County sought funds for one project from the Regional Cities Initiative funds. It

may possibly seek funding for at least three other projects. That was the word Monday night, Sept. 12, when Keith Gillenwater, EDG President and CEO, presented a quarterly update to the Wabash City Council.

The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership received a $42 million grant from the Indiana E c o n o m i c Development Corp. to be used to attract and retain talent by providing financial support for gamechanging quality of place projects designed to increase economic growth, increase the population and enhance the region’s national brand identity. The grant is to be used to help fund various projects around the 11-county Northeast Indiana region. Earlier this year, officials from the North Manchester Early Learning Center appeared before the regional board to make its

case to help fund a new facility in North Manchester. “We’re hoping to receive a positive recommendation on that project (this) week,” Gillenwater told the council. The next project, which could possibly be presented to the regional board this week, is to help fund the Wabash River Trail. The trail project seeks to create a bicycle trail along the Wabash River across Wabash County from Huntington County to Miami County. Organizers recently broke ground on the first phase of the project, from Lagro to Wabash. “This will be for sections of the Wabash to Lagro portion of the project,” Gillenwater later told The Paper of Wabash County, but didn’t specify how much money was being sought. He cited a National Parks Service study in the Washington and Old Dominion Trail in Washington showed a four-to-one expenditure ratio on trail and greenway activity for recreation oriented businesses and employment, as well as with other businesses patronized by trail

users. The study also points to a study by Case Western Reserve University that defines its five focus areas for economic development, one of which is quality of place, and specifically on the importance of building places that are sustainable, connected places to live and for businesses to compete, he continued. There was another study from Michigan that indicated quality of life and came up with 31 attributes of preferred places to live of which trails and greenways and associated attributes made up six of the top 13 attributes. “I can quote more but you get the idea,” Gillenwater said. “More and more quality of life/quality of place are important attributes in economic development so we have to provide the things to the community that make it more ‘livable’ outdoor trails increase connectivity, increase the attractiveness of our community to both visitors and those that live here alike. Health benefits can decrease costs to employers by having trails that encourage walking

and recreation (they actually quote a study in there from the rural assistance Center that talks about higher rates of obesity in rural communities because we are less walkable because of less of a “built” environment, for example sidewalks, parks, and other physical aspects of a community. “I would also say that from a talent attraction standpoint, having an amenity like the Wabash River Trail and being able to show that you can connect all the way to Fort Wayne and east to Peru to hit the Monon Trail eventually is a heck of a selling point for connectivity, health and wellness, and showing that a community has embraced these important aspects.” He later told the council that he thinks the chances of the trail receiving funding are good, since the board funded a trail in Huntington County earlier. Funds also will likely be sought for two other projects – the Eagles Theatre restoration and the all-inclusive park. However, that won’t be until at least 2017. “It probably won’t be until after the first of the year, simply because of the way funding requirements fall,” Gillenwater told the council. “You basically have to have 80 percent of funding in hand before you can go in and ask for that last 20 percent of funding for a project.” Gillenwater also discussed some other projects, which are currently taking place around the county. “So far in 2016, it’s been a pretty good year from projects we’ve been working on,” he said. “We’ve counted a few wins on some of the ones we’ve talked about. Earlier this year in January – February time frame the approval of 52 market rate rentals apartment complex on Manchester Avenue. It’s something my predecessor started on and it fell in my lap and we were able to carry it

across the finish line. It’s something we’re working on with our city engineer. “Down in LaFontaine the new Family Dollar store has been started. It’s something we’ve worked on from the get-go. It also shows the power of community. “One lady in LaFontaine decided to start calling corporate headquarters of retail stores and say, ‘Why don’t you bring one of these to L a F o n t a i n e , Indiana?’ Then a year and a half later we have a store under construction. Troxel – the new building that’s going on up there. It’s nice to see new buildings going up.” A new office complex is being built at the former site of the Brown Trucking building on South Carroll Street, across from the Wabash County YMCA. “If you recall, that ground was purchased by the Redevelopment Commission in 2014,” Gillenwater reminded the council. “The Brownfield had to be remediated. With the help of the state of Indiana we were able to get that Brownfield remediated. “There are some footings that got poured this week, and we’ll see an office building going up on that site across from the YMCA. It’s nice to be able to see a site like that that had been blighted and empty for so many years getting some life back into it.” Gillenwater told The Paper that the building will be about 10,500 square feet and, weather permitting, should be completed by the end of 2016. “There are tenants that the developer has identified for most of the building,” he said, not naming the tenants. “There will be some spec office space available in the project as well, around 2,500 square feet.”

MSD patrons tell Board: We want transparency ...continued from the front page that’s when you’d find out.” In July, the Board u n a n i m o u s l y approved plans to reconfigure the district into one school, which were discussed and finalized within several executive sessions. The action was later rescinded for violating Indiana’s Open Door Law. Following the rescission, the Board hosted two public forums in August, during which many public citizens encouraged consolidation talks between MSD and Wabash City Schools. The recent executive session discussions are a result of the outcroppings of the public forums, according to John Gouveia, board vice president. “I would think the public would be happy to know we are having those talks among ourselves,” Gouveia said, “but we haven’t arrived at a point that we are there to have that public discussion in an opening meeting, hence why we’re having another meeting tonight.” However, that is not the case, according to Sparling. “I just want to tell you how the community kind of feels,” Sparling told the Board Tuesday night, “and it may not be the whole community, but we had this kind of secrecy thing going before and we kind of lost trust and it’s kind of leaning back that way again.”

“Yeah, well by Indiana Code, we’re allowed to talk about different things,” Keaffaber replied. “So when you talk about that, you can talk about personnel, you can talk about litigation, you can talk about collective bargaining and those are things that typically school systems will not talk about at a general meeting. “Obviously there has to be discussions to know the direction that people are looking into. So I can understand that (concern), but you will hear things later on, it’s just that we have to get to that point.” Todd Topliff, a Wabash County resident who is running against Gouveia for the Board’s Northeast District seat, continued to push the request for more transparency from the Board. “Aside from the details,” Topliff said, “you can’t even put out there what the general (direction) you’re looking at so that we as a public know, if you’re looking at consolidation, that you’re looking at full consolidation, administrative consolidation, what specific steps you’re looking at without the details. “We want generally what you guys are doing as a board.” At this time, the Board “hasn’t even decided any of that,” according to Keaffaber. There has been no consensus among the

board members on consolidation talks and everything’s on the table still, according to the Board. “And part of that too, and obviously you know the whole situation, we want to take time obviously,” Keaffaber explained. However, while “I know the Indiana Code allows us to have the executive committees and not be able to talk about consolidation in the public, it doesn’t mean you can’t,” Topliff replied. “That’s my point. I think that’s part of (Sparling’s) point too. “I guess our hope is though too that it doesn’t become discussions behind closed doors and by the time we hear about it is when you make the vote, that hopefully you learned from the first time around that you bring it to the public,” he continued. “Sell the idea, get the idea out there, make sure everyone is educated before you actually get to the voting process and right now it doesn’t feel like that’s happening. “So my advice to you is hopefully you make that happen.” The school district as a whole is working or should be working on rebuilding trust, Sparling added. “And I feel like that bridge isn’t continuing,” she explained. Rebuilding public trust will take time, according to Todd Dazey, board member. “We understand that we’ve lost an

amount of trust and, if you’ve ever dealt with a personal relationship that you’ve lost trust with somebody, you don’t gain it back immediately,” Dazey said. “It’s something that has to be built over time and I think that’s what you’re going to be seeing this board working toward.”

In 2008 we got it out and I started to work on it. I brought it home and put it in the big garage out here.

Sharon.’” Actually, it would be several years before that wish was fulfilled. The Denneys drove their grandson and granddaughter, Wyatt and Isabelle Davis, to school on Thursday, Sept. 15. When Shaw first broached the idea, she noted, her grandson was in kindergarten. “Well, when we took him (Thursday), he’s a freshman in high school,” she said, adding that her granddaughter is in eighth grade. The restoration process Restoring the car was a lot more than Denney thought it would be. “When I was about half finished, I said to myself, ‘Why am I doing this?’” He dismantled the car during the restoration. “I completely stripped the car, all the interior, the glass,

Lawrence Denney chats with Mayor Scott Long about his 1939 Buick 866 S Sedan at the Wellbrooke of Wabash car show earlier this year. Photo by Emma Rausch took all the moldings off of it, the bumpers and all of that,” he said. “The fenders, I took the whole front fender and rear fender off. I sandblasted them and all of that. I had it outside and had it up on the stands and sandblasted the underneath. I don’t think I’d ever try to do that again. It was a dirty, nasty job.” Denney also notes that he had help throughout the project, but not during the sandblasting portion.

“We had some panels to put into the body and so forth, and I’m definitely not a metal worker, so I had a couple local workers help with some of that,” he said. “It ended up I took it to Walker Body Shop in Marion to have it finished and the paint job put on it. It went to Collins Brothers in Marion for a complete interior.” But that’s not all the work that was needed. “It required redoing the brake system, put-

ting all new lines in,” he continued. “Rebuilding all the cylinders and so forth. After sitting so long, I had to do a complete tune-up on the engine, clean the carburetor, rebuilt the fuel pump, the water pump. “I think every piece on the outside that’s chrome we had to rechrome. The stainless, I had a fellow polish all of that. Most of it cleaned up and looked real nice. There were a couple of pieces that showed it’s age. I got it out of the paint shop last November, I believe it was, and I had to bring it home and put in all the glass. Tyler Kroft over at Crystal Glass cut all new glass, except for the back glass because it’s curved and of course he can’t cut that. So when I got it out of the paint shop I brought it home and put all new glass in.”

Labor of love The length of time it took to refurbish the car didn’t bother Denney any. “I was 82 years old when I started this project,” he said. “I don’t have the go power I used to half, but I would work on it from four-to-six hours per day and probably do that four or five days a week. I put a lot of hours in on it. I’m slow and I know it, but I know how to do things. That’s been my life, so it wasn’t like I was working in the dark. I knew what it need and how to do most it.” There were also some comical times during the restoration. “He had heard a noise in the rear end, so he wanted to get in the truck and have Mom driver it around,” Shaw recalled, “But she said, ‘Absolutely not.’ (continued on page 8)

More than 70 local groups will set up at Paradise Spring on Saturday morning to showcase Wabash County History over the past 200 years. Participants can reminisce at the veterans’ table or visit friends at the School Alumni exhibits. In addition, Ashley Lengel, a sophomore at Southwood High School has painted a canal scene mural for the 200 Year Wabash County History Event, Unger added. “We sincerely thank Ashley Lengel, a Southwood sophomore, for sharing her artistic talent in creating the canal scene mural,” Ungers said. “It took hours of work designing and painting during the hot August and September heat to finish this project. Thanks to her grandparents, Chris and Cheri Niccum, and Sam Frazier of Big City Paints and her mom, Amy Wendt, for donating the supplies for the project!” The celebration will continue during the Bicentennial Torch Relay and 200th Anniversary celebration events on Wednesday, Sept. 28, from 4-7 p.m. Organizers said the entire county is encouraged to line the streets, cheer on their neighbors, family and friends as the torch is received from Grant County and travels north through Wabash County. The Torch Relay is the premier event of I n d i a n a ’ s Bicentennial. A Visit Indiana initiative, designed to inspire and unify Hoosiers by symbolically “passing the torch” connecting generations to ignite our future,” said the State of Indiana in a statement. The relay was designed to inspire Hoosiers and promote unity across the state by connecting people, communities and regions. The torch will journey through Indiana’s 92 counties, traveling 3,200 total miles. The relay began Sept. 9 and will finish Oct. 15 on the Statehouse Grounds with a celebration. It travels six days per week, with Mondays as rest days, for five weeks and 32 days. The torch will be

to Wabash. For those attending the celebration at Paradise Spring

Historical Park in Wabash, there will be food available for purchase and music from

MSD Board reviews preliminary ISTEP scores 2016 ISTEP scores embargoed until October By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The MSD of Wabash County School Board received a preliminary report on its 2016 ISTEP scores Tuesday night, Sept. 13, however the news was not entirely positive. Tim Drake, MSD assistant superintendent of finance, informed the MSD School Board of the exam scores’ preliminary release and confirmed the official scores will be embargoed until October. MSD’s 10th grade scores will be lower compared to other grades, Drake told the board. “Those are going to be significantly lower across the state,” he said. “Last year, we piloted the ISTEP 10 for Pearson, which is the new test vendor. … At the 10th grade level last year, 10th graders up until this year have had to pass what we call the ECAs (End of Course Assessments). “Well last year’s 10th grades had the luck of taking the ECAs, which they had to take to graduate, and also taking this pilot ISTEP test, which they did not have to take to graduate. However, the State of Indiana … said we will judge our schools based on their

ISTEP rates. “So the test that was really meaningless to the student … is what our 10th grade students will be held accountable to,” he continued. “Any ways, the scores are going to be very low. … It appears that our scores are on par with the region, but they are embarrassingly low and I would argue that the test was designed to do that.” The ISTEP exam, Indiana’s standardized assessment, will determine the MSD schools’ – Northfield and Southwood accountability grades. However, Drake said he does not think it’s an accurate test to grade a school by. In 2015, late changes made to the exam and distribution problems led to big drops in student scores that year and caused discord among state and local educators. This year, MSD’s administration opted to use the paper form of the exam for several reasons, according to Drake. “The year before, we had heard that written tests were scored more favorably than online, particularly in the written assignments,” he said. “So we as a district went all paper and pencil last year and I foresee us doing that again.”

The assistant superintendent said he hopes the state will agree to use a different exam. “In my new position, I really see how resources are tight and the state allocates hundreds of those dollars testing and we can’t fully fund all these other wonderful programs,” Drake told The Paper of Wabash County, “so it makes you stop and think, ‘Ok what’s the purpose of testing?’ You want it to be for the purpose of giving good feedback to teachers so they can act on it and that kind of thing. “Well when the results come back and they pull it back to regrade the score and then they don’t release the rates until the kids have already gone onto the next grade level, I think you really start to see some issues of really what’s the function of the test.” This will possibly be the last year for ISTEP, but it’s at the mercy of the Indiana General Assembly to vote and officially do away with it, according to Drake. The community should contact their local legislatures and voice their displeasure, Drake said. “Encourage them to look for other options,” he continued.

Hundreds attend Smokin’ for a Cause By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com An estimated 400 people sampled a variety of smoked food during the fourth annual Smokin’ for a Cause event on Saturday. Seven teams began preparing their food in the early morning hours Saturday, braving rain that fell overnight and early Saturday morning. Saturday’s event was a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis and The LIFE Center. However, other events that Smokin’ for a Cause is involved with throughout the year will benefit many organizations. “My goal is to give away $10,000 for the season,” organizer Gary Henderson said. Smokin’ for a Cause purchased all the food cooked by the contestants. “We ordered 100 slabs of ribs this year,” Henderson said. “Last year we had 75. Then we have 35 butts. We’ve got 12 cases of pork wings, and I don’t know how many potatoes and things like that.” For a $10 donation, visitors were able to sample as much smoked ribs and pulled pork prepared by the teams that they wanted. After that, they were able to get a meal consisting of pulled pork, ribs, smoked beans, smoked potatoes, smoked macaroni and cheese and coleslaw. David Ousley of Shooting Star Farm BBQ, Pierceton,

Fair Housing Ordinance update redefines ‘family’ By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com The term “family” now has a new legal definition in Wabash County. The Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners approved an amendment to the Fair Housing Ordinance at their Sept. 19 meeting. “It expands the definition of family,” County Attorney Steve Downs said. The amended ordinance, General Ordinance 85-062016, amends section 2.2 of GO 85-4-2010 to include a broader definition of the term “family” which is inclusive of persons regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status. According to the new ordinance, family is defined as “a single individual or

person, and a group of individuals or persons residing together, regardless of the actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital state of its members.” Downs and the commissioners said that the update was necessary in order for the county to continue to receive federal funding. Previously, the section said that family “includes a single individual with the status of such family being defined in subsection 2.8 of this Section.” Subsection 2.8 defined “familial status” as one or more persons under 18 living with a parent or legal guardian. The ordinance was approved on first and second reading without discussion. The Fair Housing Ordinance prevents

housing discrimination due to race,

color, religion, sex, handicap, familial

status or national origin within

Wabash County. It applies to both rent-

ing and selling housing.

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “You should care about everything you have to do in life. You should appreciate excellence for excellence’s sake. Excellence in any sport is a process that includes learning to lose with humility. This process eventually leads to winning. Everyone must learn to handle losing correctly to become a true champion on the court and in life. Most of the time there is a way to win on a tennis court and in life too, you just have to figure out what it is. In true competition no person is defeated. Both players benefit by their efforts to overcome the obstacles presented by the other.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Drive to Raise money for Adoption By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — Chase and Hayley Hand are conducting a shoe collection drive from September 13 to October 17, to raise funds for their adoption. The Hands will earn funds based on the number of pairs collected as Funds2Orgs will purchase all of the donated goods. Those dollars will benefit their adoption of a visually impaired 4 year old girl. Anyone can help by donating gently worn,

used or new shoes at two convenient Wabash locations – John Deere Troxel Equipment on St Rd 13 and Big R on St Rd 15. In North Manchester, donations are being accepted at The Andersons east of the 114 and St Rd 15 intersection and at the North Manchester First Brethren Church on Sycamore Street. All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in develop-

ing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send to her son to law school. “We are excited about our shoe drive,” Mrs. Hand said. “We know that most people have extra shoes

in their closets they would like donate to us and help those less fortunate become selfsufficient. It’s a winwin for everyone,” added Chase. By donating shoes to the Hand family, the shoes will be given a second chance and avoid the landfills. Jobs are being provided in the United States through these drives, and abroad in the underdeveloped countries. Additionally, the shoes help the Hand family bring home their 4- year old daughter.

THE PAPER

September 21, 2016

VIEWPOINT OUR VIEW Transparency is key for MSD Board Patrons of the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County raised a legitimate question last week at the MSD board meeting: What is being done on the reorganization? As most all are aware, the board announced in July that it planned to close Southwood High School after this year, transferring the students there to Northfield to create one high school. The Southwood building would be used as a junior high/middle school, and Sharp Creek Elementary School would be closed. However, the board rescinded the measure after it was found to have violated the Indiana Open Door Law, having had discussions about the reconfiguration in executive session. The board had two public forums – one each at Northfield and Southwood – which were well attended and had a good exchange of ideas. A consensus of the crowd, at least at the Southwood meeting, was that the board should consider pursuing consolidation with the Wabash City Schools. Since those hearings, the board has had two executive sessions to discuss consolidation. The Indiana Public Access Counselor, which ruled the earlier consolidation talks violated the ODL, told The Paper of Wabash County that the most recent meetings were allowable to allow the board to formulate a plan. Discussing things in executive session is what got the board into the predicament that it is currently in. While we respect the board’s need to formulate plans among itself, it also is incumbent upon it to keep the district’s patrons updated on its progress. As Todd Topliff noted to the board, just because it can meet in executive session doesn’t mean it has to do so. “I guess our hope is though too that it doesn’t become discussions behind closed doors and by the time we hear about it is when you make the vote, that hopefully you learned from the first time around that you bring it to the public,” he told the board on Sept. 13. That is our hope, too. If the board wants the public to buy into any plan it develops, transparency is the key. That is something this board must remember. We’re sure that periodic updates on this matter would keep their patrons happy. It also could provide useful input from the public that could also help the board in reaching a decision.

Where does the money go? Dear Editor: There’s a lot of talk about rehab ceners instead of buidling a new jail. My question is this: Where does the money paid by people on work release go? I know one person in a joining county that has paid into the system over $24,000.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I know another man in his 70s who paid $300 a month to live in his own house as long as he was in Indiana. I’ll repeat my question: Where does the money go?

Those work release people are already paying their share for a rehab center program and deserve some credit for a job well done. Statewide we are talking

about millions of dollars paid by work release people. Where does that money go? Anyone in the know care to answer? -- Bernie Dillard, Wabash

Roann festival officials appreciate support Dear Editor: Thanks to everyone for coming to the Roann Festival, we hope you had a great time! We were blessed to have good weather most of the time and only a couple things had to be canceled. Unfortunately one of the BIG highlights of the festival we had planned was the tethered hot air balloon rides and we couldn’t take the risk with the weather. But we have already planned that event for next year, (again weather permitting) when we will be celebrating 100 years that Roann has had a festival. It was originally called Roann Booster Days and the names was changed about 60 years ago. We are hoping to have some extra special entertainment and lots of vendors to fill the streets next year. Plans are already swirling in the festival committee’s minds, of “What

can we do for the 100th year?” The rain cleared out on Thursday in time for The Bulldogs to rock n” roll. We get ask every year for them to come back. Friday the rain came shortly after the car show was over and the tractor pull had to be stopped. But on Saturday the rained quit just in time for the parade and the rest of day was great. The Lions Club gave out Schwan’s ice cream sandwiches and the festival committee handed out 200 cupcakes in honor of our states 200th birthday.

Sunday was our ”family activity day” with many fun things for kids, the bicycle rodeo, the kiddie tractor pull and this year the box car derby was held on Sunday due to the rain Saturday morning. The biggest event on Sunday is the Mud Volleyball at the tractor pulling field. Everyone should come to

watch at least one time! It is amazing that so many people come to play in the mud, but they sure seem to have a lot of fun. They had about 31 teams, some youth and some adult, and they play four courts at a time. The Roann Covered Bridge Board would like to thank everyone who was a part of the 2016 Roann Covered Bridge Festival. All of the volunteers for games and contests. A special thank you to our sponsors, the Roann Lions Club, and to all the guys who help with a week long time of set up, moving bleachers, sound systems chairs, etc. for entertainment. We are already looking forward to next year. If you would like to support the Roann Covered Bridge Festival’s 100th year next year you may contact us at Roann Covered Bridge Festival, P.O. Box 322, Roann, IN 46974. – Donna Harman

Dear Editor: I’m writing this letter because I also agree with Mr. and Mrs. Patterson’s letter in The Paper concerning a new jail. The Wabash hospital would be a good place for a jail. There is lots of parking space; no worry on that. Plus it would be close to the doctors. The hospital needs construction on the inside. You’ll needs doors and windows. There is a big kitchen and plenty of room for offices. Lower the taxes instead of building more and tearing buildings down. C o u n t y Commissioners and County Council members, please use common sense. You read the Bible, which everyone should. In Luke 14:28, it says “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?” The Lord does not appreciate people tearing down a building when it could be used for another purpose. He is unhappy with a lot of things and this is one of them. – Melba Smith, North Manchester

and out-of-towners to see this “timeless classic,” according to McKenzie Hare and Samantha Kramer, the production’s lead actresses. “If you haven’t had the chance to see it live, you’re really missing out,” Hare told The Paper of Wabash County. “Just the raw power and emotion that the music can give you alone is reason enough to come and enjoy this performance. “The sets are incredible and the actors have worked so diligently to give the audience a wonderful performance.” Hare takes on the role of Anna Leonowens, an English schoolteacher that ventures to Siam in 1862 to educate the

with the King of Siam’s, who is played by Dr. Eric Reichenbach. “(The King) is a man in transition,” Reichenbach said. “He is of the generation that was taught one thing, but has a curious and open mind and believes differently. However, the societal structure, the conditioning to behave a certain way and the risk of loss of something, in his case power, create an inertia that keep the changes from happening as he knows they should.” “Anna and the King are very similar in the sense that they both have a good

sense of what they feel is right and wrong,” Hare explained. “They both also seem to be very stubborn as well, which is why I feel it’s so interesting to see them both interact with each other. “Their passion for trying to be the very best that they can be is just so heart-warming to see, and is also why the end of the show is just so tragic.” A first-time Wabash Area Community Theater (WACT) actress, for the past two months, Hare has attended a multitude of rehearsals and practiced fighting with Reichenbach’s

character. “I’ve absolutely loved playing opposite of Eric,” she said. “He’s so talented and really gives you some nice things to work off of. It’s been great having all of these rehearsals with him and really working together trying to figure out the dynamics of our characters. “What’s really helped the most with me is that we would go through line by line and sort of ask ourselves, ‘Alright, now what does Anna really mean when she’s saying this to him?’ and vice versa. All in all, Eric is a wonderful human being and I truly hope that I get the chance to work with him again.” The story, in a nutshell, is about learning to accept and love each other’s cultures, according to Hare. “It’s about showing compassion toward others and learning that, even though there are differences between us, we are all the same,” she explained. “And change is also a huge aspect of this show. It’s sort of like an old dog learning new tricks and all that jazz.” However, while the play revolves around the unlikely pair, it is driven by a love story, the forbidden love of Princess Tuptim and Lun Tha, a representative of the Court of Burma who is played by Carlos Cervera. The pair is more than just the “love interests,” according to Kramer, a thirdyear WACT member and portrays Tuptim in the play. “I think that with(continued on page 28)

Third “Chairs of Hope” benefit auction planned By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — A public auction will take place at noon Oct. 1 during the Harvest Festival, featuring chairs painted as part of the “Chairs of Hope” project. The chairs were painted by Manchester eighth grade students under the direction of art teacher Hannah Burnworth at the end of school this past spring. Final finishes and seat covers were completed by members of the North M a n c h e s t e r Congregational Christian Church. This year 15 chairs were completed as students worked in teams to create designs using the theme “Hope is a Journey”. Each chair has an inspiration statement to express how the kids developed their design. Many of the students dedicate their chair to individuals in their lives who have experienced cancer. “It’s incredible to see the depth of compassion in these students – a bit overwhelming” event organizer, Sebrena Cline said. “I am so grateful we were able to work with these students to complete this project and so impressed by their talent.” Chairs were painted by the following students: Keely Anderson, Hannah Ayres, Alissa B i c k e r s t a f f , Aneshishia Bowland, Gabbie Brewer,

Pullover ends; 16 tickets written here By The Paper staff The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department announced the completion of the national and statewide 2016 “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement mobilization campaign. During the annual 25-day enforcement period, 16 tickets and 94 written warnings were written, however no arrests were made for driving while intoxicated within Wabash County. “Driving sober is driving safe,” said Sergeant Dan Johnson. “Getting behind the wheel intoxicated is not worth a ticket, possible jail time, or your life. This campaign

helps reinforce that message and we will continue to work hard until every driver across our state understands the risks of driving impaired.” Four Deputies worked a total of 44 hours of overtime patrol. One individual was arrested on an outstanding warrant as a result of the increased patrol. According to the U.S. Department of Transpor tation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2014, an average of one alcohol related driving fatality occurred every 53 minutes. Further, NHTSA statistics show each year on average, more than 10,000 people die on U.S.

roadways due to intoxicated driving. “Our goal has always been, and will continue to be, to reduce the number of intoxicated drivers on Indiana’s roadways,” said ICJI Director Dave Murtaugh. “The dedication of law enforcement all across this state make reaching that goal possible, and I want to thank them for their hard work.” Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over is an annual enforcement effort supported by federal highway safety funding. The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute distributes funding to more than 250 participating Indiana law enforcement agencies.

Knights end Wabash winning streak By The Paper staff For the second straight year, the Southwood Knights snapped the Wabash Apaches’ early season winning streak at four games. Unlike last year’s 28-21 Knights win, Friday’s contest wasn’t close. Southwood easily defeated Wabash, 54-29. Knights quarterback Carson Blair was involved in seven of the team’s eight touchdowns, passing for five TDs while running for two more. Blair’s first TD came late in the first quarter when he connected with Peyton Trexler for a 45-yard touchdown. In the closing seconds of the first half, Wabash responded, with Luke Proctor scoring on three-yard run. Blair next connected with Blake Martz on a 26 yard TD strike, making the score 13-7.

Wabash QB Sammy Hipskind and Eryk Weber led the Apaches to two quick scores, one on a 76-yard pass and the other on a 10-yard pass, giving the Apaches a 2113 lead. The rest of the night belonged to Southwood. The Knights rattled off six straight touchdowns to build what proved to be an insurmountable lead. Blair scored from nine yards out to pull Southwood within two, then connected with Martz on a 47-yard pass. With 1.1 seconds left in the first half Blair hit Trexler for a 34-yard pass to give the Knights a 33-21 halftime lead. The scoring barrage resumed on the second half kickoff, as Cox returned the kick 74 yards for a TD. Blair then found Martz on a 15 yard pass play to build a 4721 lead. He then rounded out

Southwood’s scoring, racing in from 59 yards out. Jared Holley scored Wabash’s lone second half TD, coming on a 12-yard run in the fourth quarter. Blair finished the night 15 of 20 for 327 yards passing and five touchdowns. On the ground he rushed 10 times for 73 yards and two TDs. Trexler caught six passes for 130 yards and two TDs, while Martz had four receptions for 118 yards and three TDs. For Wabash, Hipskind was 10 of 24 for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Proctor rushed for 162 yards on 30 carries, while Holley rushed three times for 42 yards. Each had one touchdown. Wabash returns to action Friday, hosting Peru for the Apaches 2017 Homecoming event.

Norse top Squires, 27-7 Northfield remains unbeaten in TRC By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com Led by Jensen Frieden’s 245 yards rushing and two touchdowns, the Northfield Norse held off a stubborn Manchester team in a 27-7 conference win over the Squires. In a close first half, the Norse got on the board on their opening drive, controlling the ball for half of the quarter on an 11-play drive that resulted in a two-yard touchdown

plunge from Frieden with 6:00 left in the first quarter. Northfield made it 13-0 midway through the second quarter when quarterback Lane Evans found Ryan Driscoll for a 35yard touchdown with 5:41 left in the half. Manchester’s Kane Gable got the Squires back into the game on the ensuing kick-off, taking the ball back 79 yards to cut the lead to 13-7. The Squires gambled late in the half with a fake punt with 1:08 left, but came up with an incomplete pass. Northfield took advantage and scored

on a fake field goal Statue of Liberty play where Jared Vigar hit Matt Coe as time expired for a five-yard touchdown to take a 20-7 lead. Northfield sealed the deal when Jensen recorded his second touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and the Norse defense shut out the Squires for a 27-7 win. N o r t h f i e l d improved to 4-1 and 30 in the Three Rivers conference and will travel to Rochester on Friday. The Squires drop to 0-5 and 0-3 in TRC play and will host Tippecanoe Valley for Homecoming.

UF campaign tees off with golf outing By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The 2016 Wabash County United Fund campaign teed off Wednesday, Sept. 14, during the 25th annual Rotary Club Golf Outing. Eighteen teams of golfers took to the links at the

Honeywell Golf Course to help raise funds for the campaign. “We feel really good that the rain’s holding off,” UF Executive Director Steve Johnson said. “It’s just an ideal day for a day on the Honeywell Golf Course. “It should be awesome.”

Re p re s e n t at ive s from the 19 agencies benefiting from the United Fund campaign in 2017 were stationed at the various holes, providing goodies and information for the golfers. Dave Smith manned the hole for ARC of Wabash County. That group presented golfers with Oreo

cookies and golf tees. Other organizations provided other trinkets for the participants. “We have a number of board members here helping with registration” and doing other functions, Johnson said. “It was a good start and everything came together.”

The campaign seeks to raise $25,000 to help local agencies. Those agencies benefitting from the campaign are: 85 Hope, ARC of Wabash County, Blessings in a Backpack in Wabash and Blessings in a Backpack in North Manchester, Wabash Area Ministerial Association’s

C o m m u n i t y Assistance Program, Family Service Society/Hands of Hope and the Fellowship Food Pantry. Also, Garber Simmons Senior Center, Living Well in Wabash County, Manchester Early Learning Center, Mental Health

America Wabash County, Purdue Extension Office, Roann Community Building and the Access Youth Center. Also, the Urbana Community Building, Wabash County Cancer Society, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition and Wabash FAME.
