A U.S. District Court appointed a Michiganbased company as receiver for Harvey Industries LLC and Harvey Property Management LLC. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern Division of Michigan, in a March 26 decision, appointed Steve R. Wybo of Conway MacKenzie Inc. as the receiver. Harvey’s lone plant, outside of its corporate headquarters, is in Wabash. According to a legal advertisement announcing the receivership, Wybo and the firm “seeks to maximize the value of the Harvey’s assets through an expedited sale process. Because of the accelerated nature of this process, any potential interest in the transaction must be indicated as soon as practicable.” The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by Callidus Capital Corporation against Harvey Industries LLC for a defaulted loan agreement.

The City of Wabash took steps to guard itself in the case of wrongful termination lawsuits when the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety met on April 15. The board passed two resolutions creating policies, one for the termination of police officers and fire department employees and the other for the termination of standard city employees. The measures, City Attorney Doug Lehman noted, are required because of the city’s insurance policy. “Basically all we are doing here is something to help assure that the city receives the best insurance coverage at the lowest price possible,” he explained to the board. “When we renewed our insurance this last time, we have insurance policies that cover employment practices so that if we ‘wrongly terminate’ somebody and they bring a suit against us, it provides a defense and, if we are unsuccessful, it ends up with the insurance company paying whatever damages the person is claiming.” While the city has been fortunate in its terminations, the insurance company wanted proof upon renewal that policies were in place providing for grievances, set

disciplinary standards and so forth. “We have had those for quite some time,” Lehman continued, noting they are in the firefighter, police and standard city employee handbooks. “But the other thing they wanted is they wanted something to show we have a policy in place that says before we’re going to terminate somebody, we’re going to consult with a labor lawyer to make sure that we are on good legal grounds to terminate and that we will terminate in such a way that we will minimize legal risk to the city.” The termination of police and firefighters is set out by state statute, he said. “All this is saying is that before we start that procedure we will double check with a labor lawyer to make sure we’re not missing something,” Lehman said. Standard city employees – those who aren’t firefighters or police officers – are “employees at will,” he said. “That means we can terminate them at any time for any reason, except there are certain federally protected and state protected reasons,” he explained. “You can’t do it because of gender, or because of race or because of religion or because of ethnicity or because of age or because of disability. There are areas that are carved out, and that’s where you can get yourself into trouble with regard to those.

“So once again, this is saying before we terminate somebody we will result with a labor lawyer to make sure we are on good grounds to do it and that we do it in a proper way.” Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m noted the city generally does that when it comes to terminations. Lehman said he wants to be clear that this is not a requirement to terminate an employee. “It’s a step that’s required in order to satisfy the insurance company so we can get the best premium possible,” he said. Board member Dee Byerly said one concern was that if the labor lawyer is delayed in responding to the city, the termination could be delayed. “Again, this is something that we have to do because of state law, or even have to do in being able to terminate somebody,” Lehman said. “If we find ourselves in situation where it is important to do an immediate termination, we can do that in spite of this. “It could affect our insurance rates later, or we could have to switch to a different insurance company. But to the extent that we can defend our actions without having that written opinion from the labor lawyer, it probably wouldn’t affect that.” Both resolutions were unanimously approved.

Indiana Sheriffs Association to host camp By The Paper staff The 36th annual Indiana Sheriff ’s Association Youth Leadership Camp will take place in June and July. There will be two camp sessions, one from June 23-26 at Pine Creek Camp in Warren County’s Pine Village. That camp will serve the northern part of Indiana. The second camp will be in Brown County from July 7-9, and will serve the southern part of the state. That camp is at

Waycross Episcopal Camp in Morgantown. The camp is designed to instill several things in the youngsters, including learning more about a possible career in law enforcement. The camp provides a relationship with other campers from throughout the state and with sheriff officers who serve as counselors and instructors. Any boy or girl in seventh or eighth grade interested in attending the camp

can obtain and application and information at the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department or from their school counselor. Sponsorship could possibly be arranged through a local business or civic organization to provide the camp registration fee. All applications must be submitted to the Indiana Sheriff ’s Association. The deadline for the north camp is June 16. The deadline for the south camp is June 30.

Board orders house demolished By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabashcounty.com A house damaged by fire in October 2013 was ordered demolished by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety on Wednesday, April 15. The home, located at 458 N. Allen St., is owned by Claude Whittle and is being purchased on contract by Eric Phillips, Hillsboro. The board considered having the home razed last fall, but Phillips convinced it to give him time to make repairs and begin refurbishing the structure. At its April 1

meeting, the board instructed Building Commissioner John Stephens to have Phillips update it on his progress. Neither Phillips nor Whittle, who also received notice to appear before the board, were present on Wednesday. Stephens presented the board photos of the structure, which suffered damage during a chimney fire. “This is now?” board member Greg Metz asked of the photos, which showed plywood covering the fire damaged area. Stephens told the board that he attempted to enter the home to

see what, if anything, had been done inside, but couldn’t. Hank’s Construction received the bid to demolish the home for $7,400. Brainard Excavating ($10, 800) and Troy Eads Excavating ($11,500) also submitted the bid. Hank’s bid was approved pending review by Stephens. The cost does not include landfill fees, which the city pays. Board member Dee Byerly asked what the average cost for that was. “We’re running $3,500 to $5,000,” Stephens said. “It’s about half of the cost of taking it down.”

The board also received updates on three other structures ordered demolished by the city. The house at 7 Elmwood Drive was demolished and the foundation was being removed. “The house fell apart,” Stephens said. “The back wall was wired to the trusses. That’s from when the tree fell on the back wall.” A home at 306 N. Carroll St. was demolished the week of April 5. Meanwhile, a home at 61 S. East St. was demolished by its owner.

Packed house hear candidates debate... continued from the front page multiple police officers from each shift – get them all into a room and say, ‘How can we do this better? How can be get a handle on what’s going on in our community?” Long said the task force’s current size is adequate, noting that it works with others surrounding task forces. “It’s worked with the JEAN Team in Marion, it’s worked with Miami County, it’s worked with Huntington County, it’s worked with Kosciusko County,” he said. “Anytime the need to serve search warrants or anything like that, after our drug task force has established a case, all they have to do is make one phone call

and they can have 20 or 25 people here. “Increasing the size of the drug task force at this time is going to alleviate anything. Drug abuse, if the person doesn’t want to stop using drugs, they’re not going to stop. If you arrest one, there’s three standing in line to take the dealer’s place.” Ridding the city of unsafe structures was another area broached with the candidates. The city has led a campaign in recent years to demolish unsafe homes throughout the city. “That’s become a real issue with the city and that’s become a real expensive issue with the city,” Salb said. “I would definitely continue with

the program as long as the funding is there. These homes, a lot of them aren’t safe to have in the neighborhood, so they definitely need to come down. It’s not just because they’re an eyesore, it’s because of the safety factor. “I would have to look into it and see how many homes they have in mind and we would budget according.” Mullett noted that many homes are purchased from those out of state via the Internet. “They have no vested interest in Wabash,” he said. “They buy it off a website, they really have no interest in it. They think it’s easy to fix and when they

come to look at it, if they come to look at it, and decide it’s not worth the expense.” While the program is expensive, he said it is necessary for the safety of firefighters, police officers and the public in general. “Homes that are allowed to be unsafe can be a tragedy waiting to happen,” he said. Long said some of the homes destined for demolition could possibly be donated to non-profit organizations such as Habitat for Humanity. The homes, he said, would be those that are not in total disrepair and could possibly be saved. He also suggested getting building trades classes from the Heartland

Career Center involved in the restoration work. Getting non-profits involved, he said, would help keep the homes “on the tax rolls, providing housing for families, at a lower cost, possibly.” “If that entails the city purchasing tax certificates at a tax sale for minimal money, we can get our money back when the home sells,” Long said. “We’re doing a disservice to the taxpayers. Every time we demolish a home we reduce our tax revenues. Taxes are a lot higher on a house than on an empty lot.” In the end, all three candidates were pleased with the debate and the turnout.

Lower gas prices expected this summer By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Motorists will pay the lowest gas prices this summer than in 2005, according to a study by GasBuddy. The summer driving season, which runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, will see gas prices averaging about $2.35 per gallon. That is down from an earlier forecast which had prices about $2.45 per gallon. Both of the forecast

figures are still lower than they have been the past 10 summers. “That means more Americans can afford to pack up and go enjoy a summer getaway because the cost of getting there will likely be the lowest since 2005,” said Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. A check of gasoline prices last week showed gas prices in Wabash ranging from $2.29 to $2.39 per gallon, with more than half the gas stations at the $2.39 mark. Meanwhile, prices in

LaFontaine were at the $2.15 mark. However, DeHaan told The Paper of Wabash County that the prices in Wabash are not out of line with the surrounding area. “Looking at Wabash and surround areas, I see prices at $2.37 to $2.39 in Wabash, $2.36 to $2.37 in Peru, $2.39 at Grissom ARB, $2.36 to $2.39 in Huntington, $2.38 to $2.39 in Markle and $1.99 off I-69, exit 278, in a price war it seems,” he said. “With that exception, it seems most stations are near the price of

what they are in the City of Wabash. “The price of gas averages $2.377 in Wabash (on Friday), which is just a penny higher than the statewide average. Looking back, I can’t see a sizeable difference in Wabash versus the statewide average.” Indiana stations, DeHaan said, generally follow a price cycling behavior in which “prices ‘cycle’ every one to two weeks where prices spike, then fall for days, spike, then fall again.” He also said that the

monies. Organizers suggest the public be assembled at Memorial Lawns by 6:30 p.m.

idea that prices increase during the summer driving season, especially around the holidays, is not necessarily true. “In regards to holidays, they play no role in gasoline prices,” he said. ”Prices don’t simply rise because a holiday, though since there are many holidays in a year, there could be other issues leading prices up or down in close proximity to a holiday.”

UPCOMING EVENTS AT SALAMONIE: Second Saturdays at Salamonie are programs designed for

largest clients. The Wabash layoffs were the most recent large-scale reduction of Harvey’s workforce. In November 2013, the company laid off 157 workers at its Aiken, S.C., plant, and in 2014 it closed a plant in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, leaving only the Wabash plant and the corporate office in Livonia, Mich. “In an effort to preserve the company’s remaining value so that the Wabash Plant can continue to operate, maintain its remaining customers and be sold as a going concern, (Callidus) and (Harvey) have reached an agreement pursuant to which (Callidus) will provide continued financing,” according to court paperwork. “The agreement is conditioned upon appointment of a general receiver in this civil action and satis-

factory sale of the Wabash Plant as a growing concern. “Without appointment of a receiver and continued funding by (Callidus), production for (Harvey’s) remaining customers cannot be maintained and the Wabash Plant will be forced to closed.” Callidus, according to the paperwork, indicated it was not willing to continue “to provide financial support” without the appointment of a receiver. Under the ruling, the receiver shall have all powers and rights to administer and manage the Harvey estate and to assume custody and control over the receivership assets, including, but not limited to: — The Wabash plant — All of Harvey’s accounting s systems and business records.

— All accounts receivable aged accounts listing, promissory notes, payment intangibles, instruments and other righters of Harvey to receive the payment of money. — All claims and causes of action of any of Harvey, including documents identifying and summarizing all pending litigation related to the firm or impacting the receivership assets. — All rights under all customer purchase orders, equipment leases and contracts, plant leases, leases for the premises and contracts, and any other existing leases and contracts related to any of the receivership assets. — All employee payroll records, employee files and employment applications. The receiver also is to be provided a list of all vendors and their contact information,

all equipment, machinery, inventory, furniture, vehicles and supplies; all patents trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property and confidential trade secrets; all technical manuals for all systems, machinery and equip together with operating procedures; permits, licenses and any other regulatory documents.

LAFONTAINE LITERARY CLUB met April 9 at the home of Mary Brane. The meeting was opened with members reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and the American Creed. President Berti Huffschmidt spoke of the portion of the club collect, “It is the little things that separate us In the big things of life we are at one,” She read several quotes dealing with this subject. “Little things make big things happen,” John Wooden, and “Little things give peace like little flowers that perfume the air.” She said that people often remember the small slights or kindnesses. These little things can make big differences or they may soon be forgotten. For roll call, members were asked to bring a book, share something about the book, and then give it to another member. The books were passed around the

circle to music and ladies kept the book they were holding when the music stopped. Book subjects ranged from the creepiness of “Gone Girl” to the inspiration of Max Lucado and the sweetness of Jan Karon’s Mitford series. The minutes of the previous meeting were read corrected then approved. The Treasurer’s report was approved as read. Thank you notes from the Christmas Spirit committee of Wabash County and from the daughters of Lucille Highley for donations made by the club were also read. Vice President Janice Dawes described the sign-up sheet that was being passed and the rotation of members through program, hostess and special meeting responsibilities for 2015-2016. Next year’s theme will be Indiana in honor of the state’s bicentennial. The June luncheon will be at the Woman’s Club House- guest day and members were encouraged to bring a friend. Next month members will have the sign-up sheet and more information on the menu and cost for guest day. Announcements: Mississinewa Valley Band has a concert April 28 at Indiana Wesleyan University Phillipe Auditorium, Jean Gilbert mentioned seeing movies at the Eagles Theater. She encouraged members to support our local theater that offers such good prices on their shows and refreshments. President Huffschmidt offered our assistance and condolences to Ethel Eib after the loss of her husband. The program was to be presented by Patricia and Berti thanked Mary Brane for hosting our meeting. Members recited the Club Collect and the business meeting was adjourned. Patricia Walters introduced her program the Hoosier treasure, composer Hoagy Carmichael by playing perhaps his most famous song, “Stardust,” on the piano. She then talked about his birth and early years in Bloomington as a student and a musician. A program presented at Amish Acres in the early ‘90s was her spark for interest in Carmichael when she heard many of his songs that had been unfamiliar. His first published music was “The Riverboat Shuffle” written in 1925. His evolution as a composer, musician and actor were described as more songs were played and sung by Dr. Walters. Among them;

April 22, 2015

“Moonburn,” “The Nearness of You,” “Two Sleepy People” and “Memphis in June”. She stated that Hoagie Carmichael never forgot his Indiana roots and played “Can’t Get Indiana off my Mind” and “Chimes of Indiana” for the group. The latter was composed for the IU class of 1935 as a gift to the University and was adopted as an official song by the Board of Trustees. His acting career began with a role as a piano player in the Bogart and Bacall movie, “To Have and Have Not,” and progressed with his performances in several other films, often portraying a world weary fellow draped over a piano or sitting alone singing. Carmichael continued his association with Indiana University providing a generous donation to the Musical Arts Center or MAC before he died in 1981 in Beverly Hills. His memorial service on the Bloomington campus was attended by many jazz musicians and Hollywood friends and his music continues as part of the “Great American Songbook” of popular music.

11 Changes made to local property tax credits affect estate and landowners THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

April 22, 2015

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Local property tax credits have

decreased, according to the Wabash County Treasurer’s Office. The tax credits have dropped since 2014, which may affect some

property owners’ property tax bills as they are received this month, according to Sharon Shaw, county treasurer.

Above is an example of the spring installment 2015 Wabash County tax bill released this April. County Treasurer Sharon Shaw said that, when reading this bill, note that the $24 under “Other Charges” is the solid waste fee that is required to be paid by any property owners who have a home or other residence on their land that is assessed at over $10,000. All fees that are filed under the “Other Charges” category will be broken down under Table Four on an informational sheet. Finally, any delinquency to property tax payments will appear on the bill, even if they were already paid for, and will be subtracted out of the “Less Payments” category before the bill is totaled at the bottom. Photo provided

How to read a property tax bill When a property tax assessment bill is released, the property owner is also provided a informational statement which breaks down how taxes and other values apply to the bill. To start, Table 1 provides a summary of taxes and assessed value of a property. The information compares this year’s property tax bill to the previous year’s to expose the changes over the year to the property’s value. “The state has put in these caps so on your homestead property, which would be your house and one acre, they cannot tax you more than 1 percent of your gross assessed value,” said Sharon Shaw, county treasurer. “So the (side column) will give you the total of that taxes as they’re broken down.” For other residential property and farmland, which would include rented properties, the state placed a tax cap at 2 percent. All other

property, including personal properties such as land not used as farmland or an extra barn, is capped at 3 percent. The capped tax information is further broken down in Table 2. The gross assessed values are then totaled up to equal the total gross assessed value of the property. Any applicable deductions, which are lined out under Table 5, then are subtracted from the total gross assessed value to equal the subtotal of net assessed value of the property. The subtotal is then multiplied by the local tax rate to reach the gross tax liability. Table 3 outlines how gross property taxes are distributed to the county, township, school district, city, library, tax increment, and special district. The gross tax liability will then have local property tax credits, savings due to the property tax cap, and savings due

to the 65-years and older cap deducted from it to reach the total property tax liability. The total property tax liability, or the total required to be paid by the property owner, is then divided into two installments for the spring and fall. Any additional charges, including a solid waste fee or a beneficial ditch that is assessed to less than $25, will be included on the spring installment. The spring installment of the property tax bill is due to the Wabash County Treasurer’s Office by May 11. If an individual wishes to mail a payment, Shaw said, in order to prevent a delinquency, to physically take the letter into the post office and have the mailroom clerk immediately stamp it to provide the postmark date.

“This year the Homesteads are getting less local property tax credits than we did last year,” Shaw said. “That has to do with four changes that were made.” One change made was the County E c o n o m i c Development Income Tax (CEDIT) Homestead credit was changed to Local Option Income Tax (LOIT) homestead. Also, Wabash County enacted, or made a bill or other proposal, for the public safety and thawed the previously frozen levy, or imposed tax, which changed the property tax credits. Finally, local credits were allocated differently this year, Shaw said, which affected how they were applied to different individuals. “These are things that our county council either enacted or changed for this year’s taxes,” Shaw said. “Those four things are why local property tax credits is less than year and the main reason why people’s tax bills went up.” It is too late to appeal the property tax bills released this year, said Kelly Schenkel, county assessor. “A lot of the taxpayers are confused because they think, when they get their tax bill, they can appeal it and that’s not the case,” Schenkel said. “To appeal you

have to, usually around in June of the prior year, before you get your bill, they get a notice of assessment and it will show them the value of their property, their land, and then their improvements.” “ I m p r ove m e n t s, ” Schenkel explained, is a word that means, or represents, the buildings. “Then (the property owners) have 45 days to appeal that value if they feel that is too high or too low and they can come into (the assessor’s) office and talk to us about it

and we will do what we call an informal appeal,” she continued. “We’ll look at the assessment and if we think, ‘Yes. They are correct. It is too high,’ then we’ll make an adjustment.” If the Wabash County Assessor’s Office does not agree with the property owner, Schenkel said that the owners can take their claim to the Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals (PTABOA). “The owners can come before the board and present their evidence,” she said.

“They would have to get, for example, houses that are comparable to their house and appeal that to the board.” Property tax assessments for 2016 are currently underway, Schenkel said. The deadline for turning in personal property assessments, including machinery and tools, for local business owners, factories, and farmers is May 15. Property tax payments must be made, or postmarked by, May 11.

Wabash County population to decline by more than 10% unless… By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County is estimated to lose more than 10 percent of its population by 2050, according to population projections released by the Indiana Business Research Center (IBRC). Between 2010 and 2050, while Indiana’s general population is projected to increase 15 percent, 49 of the state’s 92 counties are expected to see a population decline due to past demographic and migration trends. “These population projects are purely demographic, meaning that they rely exclusively on recent birth/death data and migration estimates,” wrote IBRC Economic Analyst Matt Kinghorn in the projections report. “Therefore, these figures are a reflection of what Indiana and its communities will look like if past trends continue.” In 2010, Wabash County estimated a population of 32,852. As of July 1, 2014, Wabash County’s population was estimated to have dropped to 32,252 citizens, according to the

U. S. Census Bureau. This issue is “definitely concerning,” according to Keith Gillenwater, CEO of the Economic Development Group (EDG) of Wabash County. “When you couple this with our population aging and projected to be in absolute decline in 15 years across all classes (age) as well as our county wide declining school enrollment numbers, that’s an issue that we need to be addressing,” Gillenwater wrote in an email interview with The Paper. In the last four years, enrollment rates dropped approximately 4.33 percent from 5,533 students enrolled in 2010 to 5,293 enrolled in 2014 for both public and private schools grades Kindergarten through twelfth, according to a report released by the Indiana Department of Education. “We need to hit students up when they are young and educate them on what their role is in the future of our community and encourage them to put themselves into a position to make it better,” Gillenwater wrote.

“Efforts from our schools complemented by programs like the Wabash County Promise and the efforts of places like Heartland Career Center, Manchester University, and Ivy Tech Wabash to address these needs are vital.” There are a number of reasons for the declining population trend, the CEO wrote, including kids leaving for higher education, job opportunities that are available in other cities and not in Wabash County, and, even the draw of a bigger city’s amenities. “Whatever the cause, it’s something we should be addressing—and we are,” he wrote. “It will take a community wide effort to reverse this.” Gillenwater suggested a series of efforts that would help reverse current and prevent future population decline, starting with making the community more “livable.” “Having entertainment options, recreational opportunities, downtown living options, and the various services you want to have available to have a good life is important,” he

e x p l a i n e d . “Organizations like the EDG, City of Wabash, Wabash Marketplace, Manchester Main Street, Town of North Manchester, the Honeywell Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Wabash County YMCA, Visit Wabash County, and many others are trying to address these needs by investing in our downtowns, investing in quality of life initiatives, and frankly trying to tackle these issues in hopes of growing our community.” To convince citizens to stay in Wabash County, it needs job opportunities, Gillenwater advised, more investment into quality of life opportunities as well as infrastructure. “We need to support new businesses such as utilities, roads, industrial and mixed use business parks, workforce training,” he wrote, “and even into things like the EDG’s marketing efforts to get the word out to the world about our community will help create the environment to make this happen.” He also suggested a

renewed focus on supporting entrepreneurialism to encourage new businesses. “We’ve been in talks with area partners on how we can better support these efforts and EDG is well positioned to lead those efforts,” he added. “We’ve been in talks with M a n c h e s t e r University on creating and renewing past collaborations to support these efforts and we already have great relationships with organizations like the Small B u s i n e s s Development Center, Elevate Ventures, Score, and the Indiana Economic D eve l o p m e n t Corporation. “ Finally, state and federal assistance as well as government policies are needed to support and encourage development in rural communities, Gillenwater wrote. “All in all, it’s a big concern and something we need to continue to address,” Gillenwater wrote. “We all have to work together to make it happen.”

NEW, ROANN FARMER’S MARKET: A group is trying to get a local Farmer’s Market started in Roann on Friday afternoons during the summer. Anyone who is interested can contact Jerry Nelson at 765-9982863. THE ROANN LIONS CLUB met at Joe’s Diner in Wabash for their April 9 meeting. President Keith Ford welcomed everyone and introduced Dave Rogers, the Lions District Governor who was a guest for the dinner. A report was given on the Easter Egg Hunt which is sponsored by the Lions Club. There were approximately 40 children at the hunt. Each child received at least one prize. We would like to thank Janet Shoue for provid-

ing those delicious Monster Cookies for each child. Also thank you to LuAnn Layman who got the prizes, and Carol Long who helped with set-up and the Lions Club members who came to help. The Lions Club was asked for a donation to sponsor the Roann Metro League baseball team. The Club has sponsored this in the past therefore a motion was made and seconded to give the league $150.00 donation. Donna Harman asked if the Lions Club would be willing to pay for part of the advertising for the Roann Covered Bridge fund raiser tenderloin meal on April 18. Since they sponsor the festival and will be selling donuts at the meal, a motion was made to pay $100.00 for advertising. On the topic of giving in the community, it was also suggested to give a donation to Roann’s Community Heritage toward their purchase of the new signs that are being made. The Lions Club will donate $50.00. A letter was read asking for each Lions Club in the state to give a donation to the LCIF which was started by the Lions Club in 1968. They

would like to have 100% club participation. Dave Rogers, District governor reported that this is for a great cause and helps a lot of people. The Roann club voted to donate. An update on the log cabin in Roann repairs; it will probably be finished sometime in June. A report was given by Donna Harman and Rick Morris as members of the Roann Covered Bridge Festival Board. Rick, Donna and Carol Long attended an Indiana State Festival meeting held in Wabash a couple weeks ago and learned many things about rules and regulations on bleachers, and crowd safety. Plans for the festival are going along well at this time. Forms for sponsors and vendors will be mailed out the end of April. The Festival Committee has several things in the works to promote the festival “Racin’ to Roann” theme this year. Does anyone happen to have or know where we could get life size posters of race cars drivers that could be used at the festival? Rick reported that he has already received money for several sponsors for events at

the pull field. There will be a pull on Friday night, July 3 and Saturday (daytime) on July 4. There are a couple other pulls scheduled, including the pulls for the festival. This will include a garden tractor pull on Thursday night by the Indiana Lawn & Garden Tractor Pullers Association. Each event will have contracts to be signed and all funds for these events will be paid to the Lions Club so everything is recorded. District governor closed the meeting by telling the Roann Lions Club how amazed he was at how organized our club and community are with the activities they have throughout the year. Members present and guests present were Harold and Bonnie Corn, Don and Carolyn Everest, Bill and Marcella Palmer, Roger and Donna Harman, Andy and Mary Jane Tyler, Keith Ford, Rick Morris and Dave Rogers.

Manchester softball team splits doubleheader By Gary Andrews The Manchester softball team traveled to Fremont Saturday to take on the Eagles in a doubleheader, falling in game one 5-4 before coming back to take game two 5-3. In game one Fremont built a 4-0 after the second inning before the Squires made some noise. Weimann would lead off with a walk and was moved to sec-

ond on a Sorg walk. A passed ball put runners on second and third before Brooklyn Howard reached on a one error to score Weimann and make it 4-1. Cierra Carter then grounded out to score Sorg right before sister Celina singled home Howard to make it 4-3. Fremont would increase the lead to 53 in the bottom of the inning and it would stay that way until the fifth. Sydney Day led

off with a single before stealing second and advancing to third on a Howard grounder. Cierra Carter then hit a fly to center that Day was tagging on to score, making it 5-4.

The Squires went three up and three down the next two innings for the 5-4 loss. In game two it was scoreless until the bottom of the third when Fremont plated

7th inning rally gives Apaches win over Marion By Gary Andrews

The Wabash baseball team entered the bottom of the 7th Friday trailing Marion 4-2 before collecting two hits, taking advantage of a Marion error and being intentionally walked twice before a fly ball scored the winning run in a 5-4 thriller. The two defenses dominated early in the game with the game scoreless after three innings before Marion broke the ice in the fourth, scoring two runs in the top of the inning. The Apaches would get half the deficit back in the bottom of the 4th when Austin Hostetler hit a one out triple and scored on a Braydon Ogan grounder. Marion would score a run in the top of the sixth to increase their lead to 3-1, but again the Apaches would answer with a run on a Jordan Burnsworth home run to make it 3-2 heading to the exciting 7th. Marion would manufacture a run in the top of the 7th for a 4-2 lead and set up the dramatic finish for the Apaches. Kaleb Kelsheimer led off the inning with a single and was fol-

lowed by his brother Kyle singling to put runners on first and second. Jordan Holley would then lay down a sac bunt that was botched on the throw with both Kelshemier’s rounding the bases to tie the game. When the dust cleared Holley was standing on third base with the potential winning run and no outs. The Giants chose to intentionally walk Treavor Floor and Kody Fuller to load the bases to create a force out, but Burnsworth spoiled their strategy, hitting a fly ball that scored the tagging Holley for the winning run in a 5-4 thriller.

three runs to take a 30 lead. Manchester would quickly tie the score in the fourth with a two out rally. With two down Celina Carter was hit by a pitch and followed by an Ellie Milam double to score Carter. Katelyn Andritsch was then hit by a pitch before the two runners advanced on a passed ball. Maddie McKee than laced a double to center, scoring Milam and Andritsch to tie the score at 3-3. The game would go to the 7th still tied when the Squires took the lead. Day and Howard would hit back to back doubles to put runners on second and third when Cierra Carter hit the third double to score both runners and take a 5-3 lead that they would protect in the bottom of the inning for the win.

City pursues sewage bond By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A plan to seek a sewage bond of up to $3 million cleared its first hurdle on Wednesday, April 15. The plan to seek the bonds must now be considered by the Wabash City Council. It is likely to hear a request on the matter at its April 27 meeting. The funds will be used for the city’s work in separating the sanitary and storm sewers. The city has until 2028 to complete the work, which is required by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The work is needed so in the event of a heavy rainstorm, the sanitary sewers aren’t filling up with storm water “and becoming more than the sewage plant can handle and ending up dumping sewage into the river,” City Attorney Doug Lehman told the board. The city is currently ahead of schedule with the plan, he noted. “The Manchester Avenue project we did a few years ago was part of that,” Lehman said of the plan. “The Sivey and Glenn Avenue proj-

ects that we did a couple years ago, and Carroll Street, were all a part of that. “The next phase of the project is to do a bunch of work down at the sewage plant to make it more efficient in handling the water and sewage that goes into the plant.” A major part of the work has to do with replacing the current screw pumps with a new, more efficient system, he said. A screw pump uses one or several screws to move fluids or solids along its axis. “The primary purpose of those is to separate out things like rocks and limbs and cans and bottles and things that can’t be processed through the sewage plant,” Lehman continued. To replace the pumps, the city is going to need to issue sewage bonds. “The bonds will be paid out of sewage revenues, user fees, in essence,” he told the board. Only one of the two screw pumps on site currently works, and it was recently repaired at a cost of about $250,000. “So I think the sooner we get rid of the screw pumps, the better off we’re going to be,”

Lehman said. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham also noted that the city’s engineer, Keith Bryant, believes it’s best to get rid of the screw pumps. “I think we’re a couple of years ahead of schedule (with the sewer plan), which again is a good thing,” Lehman said. “And it’s an especially good thing because if the current screw pump would break down we’d be in a world of hurt. “The sooner we get the plant updates done, the better. But, of course, we have to have the money.” Board member Greg Metz noted that the project was part of the long-term control plan and the city anticipated spending the funds. It’s just doing it sooner than expected. “We might as well, because any repairs we have to do to the existing system would be money flushed since we’re going to be doing this anyway,” he said. “This isn’t going to get any cheaper.” By unanimously approving the resolution, the Board of Works is giving the City Council notice that it approves of the plan.

New toy store opens on Market Street the new addition to Wabash Market Place. Black Squirrel is

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Black Squirrel toy store and art gallery is now open for business after its soft opening on April 16. Located next door to Modoc’s Market, the toy store serves not only as a source for toys from around the world, but also as a hangout spot for children while their parents get a coffee next door, according to Kristy Church, storeowner. “I hoping that people who come to Charley Creek and the Honeywell Center or who are just visiting from out of town will have something else to do and bring presents home to their kids and grandkids.” Named after the local all-black squirrels, Church said she wanted to open the toyshop because Wabash didn’t have one and she loves toys. “I have five kids and every time I go to a city I’m always like, ‘Where’s the toy store?’ There’s just fun and good energy in the shops,” Church said. Church handpicked every item sold in the shop for the ecofriendly materials as well as durability to “last forever and they have stood up to the test of time,” she said. “I did a lot of research and I knew (which ones I wanted). I mean the reason I wanted this toy store is because I wanted to buy these toys and you can’t buy these

Palascak returns to Wabash as final performance in comedy series By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash native and nationally known comedian Michael Palascak returns to

the Eagles Theatre on Thursday, April 23, as the final performance of the Thursday

Night Comedy Series. Palascak last appeared in Wabash in April 2014 and said this is now “an annual thing,” or so he’s told himself. “It feels like forever ago whenever I leave and come back,” Palascak said in a phone interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s never soon enough.” From his television debut on The Bozo Show at age 9 to his most recent comedic appearance on the Conon O’Brien show, Palascak said that his

love of comedy started in second and third grade at St. Bernard Catholic School. “They had a creative writing part of the day and I thought that was like the best thing in the world,” he said. “I love that class so much and I think that it taught me to write at that young of an age and I felt really lucky to have that experience. “It kind of changed my life. I don’t know what I would have done now if I didn’t know that, at such a

kicked (my comedy) off and then it just went from there.” Despite his achievements in comedy such as being selected as one of 12 comedians to debut a half hour special on the inaugural season of Comedy Central’s “The Half Hour,” Palascak was never the funny kid in school. “I would talk to friends when I first started standup and they were like, ‘You… You should do drama,’” he said with a laugh. “No one believes in me! No one. Nothing encourages me to make people laugh as no one believing in me. “I do remember in second grade,” he continued, “one of my friends was really funny and still is. One of our teachers was talking to another teacher and my friend said something really funny and the other teacher said, ‘Oh you’re going to be a comedian.’ And I was like, ‘No. I want to—I want to do that.’” Palascak will be making a guest appearance for an artist lecture at Wabash High School on Friday April 24. Tickets to Palascak’s show are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. For more information, call the Honeywell Center Box Office at 260-5631102 or visit honeywellcenter.org.

Wabash River Road has new route By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County’s portion of the Wabash River Road is changing its route. Wabash County Commissioners, at its April 13 meeting, approved the change, which was requested by Michael Beauchamp, the county’s representative on the Wabash River Heritage Corridor Commission. The route was first approved five years ago, Beauchamp reminded commissioners. It is part of a route that continues for more than 400

miles through all 19 counties in which the Wabash River flows. “It’s taken a while to get that plan worked out,” he said, noting that, “some of those roadways are pretty tough in Southern Indiana because they’re underwater for part of the year, and they’re dirt roads.” The state commission asked local officials to approve the resolution designating the route. “Our designation of a roadway,” Beauchamp continued, “we’re going to ask that it be the same as it was five years ago, except for one lit-

tle change.” The change is along the route from Richvalley west to the Miami County line. Previously, the route followed old U.S. 24. However, when Miami C o u n t y Commissioners approved its resolution, it changed the route from old U.S. 24 to a road south of the Wabash River. “So they would like for us to change the roadway to Cooper Road, there by the bridge in Richvalley, west to the county line,” he said. Signs were placed along the roadway, paid for by the Wabash River Heritage Corridor Commission, will be replaced because they weren’t up to Indiana Department of Transportation standards, as far as reflectability is concerned. “And a lot of the signs have shown deterioration, currently,” Beauchamp said. The new signs will meet reflectability standards and also will have an 18-year life expectancy. “Sometime yet this year it’s hoped that each one of the counties will determine how many signs they need to make the route through their county logical,” he continued, noting that

The Wabash River Defenders will host another Wabash River Clean-up this year, Michael Beauchamp told Wabash County Commissioners on April 13. The clean-up will take place on Saturday, July 25. “Our debris removal has gone down the past two years we did it,” he said. “We hope that it goes down a lot again this year. But, none-the-less, there are tires out there. I don’t know if they’re new tires or tires that have come down from Huntington. “We know of some large items that we’re going to have to have a wrecker take out that we haven’t gotten previously. And we’re probably going to have some more stuff.” The River Defenders, he continued, is a non-profit organization and has received a grant from the National Environmental Education Foundation. It also is seeking to establish itself as a watershed initiative, similar to the Eel River Watershed Initiative. “We’re going to be doing water testing in the tributaries that flow into the Wabash River to see what is flowing into our river,” Beauchamp said. “This is one of the things that IDEM (Indiana Department of Environmental Management) suggested we might do to further our cause.” the state panel will again provide the signs, which will be

placed by the Wabash County Highway Department.

Youngsters get look at Chinese culture By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Foundation of Art and Music in Education (FAME) Festival hit off its ninth year in Wabash by celebrating Chinese culture on Saturday April 18. From hosting a dragon dance to the assistant artist of Garfield, the festival astonished locals and a few out-of-towners by the talent and the artwork, according to Richard Tucker, volunteer greeter. “What I’ve heard more than anything else is surprise,” Tucker said. “They don’t realize the volume of activities that are going on here and I think that’s great that they see that there’s a lot of activities that they can participate in. “When I looked through the schedule of activities today, you can keep a child busy for the whole day and I think the depth of the programming is a big surprise.” The festival starred performances from local schools and Indiana Wesleyan University Wind Ensemble as well as art workshops with local artists including Candie Cooper and Karen Welsh. “I think the

response has been good and I think people have enjoyed the activities,” said Judy Ward, the festival planning committee head. “I think people are usually amazed by what we have planned for that day. “It’s educational but it’s still fun for the kids to be learning new things, and I just hope it keeps expanding and we can keep people coming.” Ward said one of the purposes of FAME is to introduce different cultures to the local children. “They need to know that we all have the same wants and needs and so in a lot of ways all cultures are related,” Ward said. “The people are similar and yet when we learn about the other cultures, we learn also that there are a lot of differences as well. So it’s important for them to learn about these other places even though most of our students will never visit these places.” Children like Caroline Miller made a variety of toys and accessories from Chinese culture, including fans, rice hats, and panda magnets. “If I were to describe it to my best friend, I would say, ‘I went to the FAME Festival! It was about

The Wabash FAME Festival welcomes visitors of all shapes and sizes to the Honeywell Center on Saturday April 18 to celebrate the festival’s ninth year in Wabash. Children had the opportunity to explore Chinese culture through art and music while enjoying performances by local students and the Fort Wayne Chinese Families and Friends Association. Photo by Emma Rausch Chinese! Oh my gosh I had so much fun,’” Caroline said. “I would show them my projects and go, ‘Look. Here are my projects.’” The greatest thing about the festival is that it continues to enhance and enforce the need for art and music in the school system, Tucker said. “It seems like there’s a lot of financial pressures on the schools and the arts

sort of take the hit,” he said. “I’m glad to see organizations like FAME step forward and enhance the art from the school systems. “I think FAME is a good reinforcement for the teachers and the art programs and I think they’re a good support system, and I think that’s important. I think outside influences are a big help to encouraging students to be active in the arts.”

Wabash man charged after hit-and-run accident The man, Wayne Lisby, 37, allegedly struck a pedestrian with his vehicle in Marion then fled to the Mississinewa Reservoir whereupon he led officers on a foot pursuit.

mately 3:52p.m . Turner was flown by Lutheran Air Ambulance from the scene in critical condition. Lisby then fled the scene but was followed by a good Samaritan who wishes to remain anonymous. They ended up in the Trails End area of Mississinewa Reservoir near the Wabash and Grant county line. The good Samaritan got into a physical confrontation with the suspect at the reservoir after the suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle ran out of gas. The suspect fled on foot into the woods as numerous Indiana Conservation Officers converged on the scene. A Marion city K-9 team assisted by the Indiana Conservation K9 team of handler Levi Knach and K-9 Kenobi

tracked and apprehended the subject along the Mississinewa River on the reservoir property. He was taken into custody without incident. According to a Go Fund Me account that was created to help with Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical costs, she suffered multiple facial fractures, a broken nose, crushed eye socket, broken pelvis, and third, fourth and fifth lumbar fractures in her back. She also had pressure on her brain immediately following the incident. As of Sunday, according to a report on the webpage, she is still in her own coma state and on a ventilator. She is a current employee at Marion General Hospital where she has worked for the last 25 years.
