NORTH MANCHESTER — Midwest Poultry Services, the family-owned and operated egg farming business based in Mentone, recently submitted an application to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) requesting approval of an expansion project for Hi-Grade Egg Producers and Processors, located at 5780 E 1100 N, in

Barker Trust Fund helps Ivy Tech, Learn More Center By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The Learn More Center and Ivy Tech Community College’s Wabash Campus shared more than $75,000 in funding from the Pauline Barker Educational Trust. The funds — $33,800 for the Learn More Center and $42,000 for Ivy Tech — were distributed during a brief ceremony Tuesday afternoon at the Ivy Tech Campus. Officials from First Merchants Bank’s Trust Company presented the funds to

representatives from the two organizations. The firm oversees the trust fund. Officials from the Learn More Center will use the funds to help advance educational opportunities for adults in Wabash County. The Center provides students a path to attain their goals within an efficient, effective and nurturing environment that provides instruction, guidance and mentoring. Since 2010, the trust fund has provided funds for 194 local adults to receive a high school equivalency diploma.

Learn More Center Executive Director Cynthia Johnson said the agency is blessed to receive funds from the Barker Trust. “Each and every year, I think since I’ve been director, it’s come through at a critical time and it’s been such a blessing,” she said. “If you ever get a chance to come to our graduation, the stories you get to hear about the importance of getting a high school diploma make on a student’s life and their family’s life, it really is just incredible. “We hear about No Child Left (continued on page 9)

Band organ enthusiasts gather in Wabash By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Band organ enthusiasts from as far away as Canada gathered Friday and Saturday, July 17-18, at the Paradise Spring Historical Park for the 40th annual MidAmerica Band Organ Rally. There were 12 large band organs and

numerous smaller, or monkey organs at the event, according to organizer Hope Rider. “We’re pleased with the turnout, especially with the rain this morning,” she said near the end of the event Friday afternoon. While most of the participants were from Indiana, Ohio and other parts around the Midwest,

there were at least two who traveled from Canada for the event. Irene Noordermeer traveled with her husband from Ontario, Canada, with the band organ they had specially made. “We were in the Netherlands about eight years ago, and we thought we’d like to go to a museum that featured band organs,” she said. “We

walked away ordering a band organ. “We picked everything out. We picked all the paintings and everything.” The organ’s façade was original, but repainted, she noted. However the inner workings are all new. “They don’t want to let their old antiquities out of the country,” she said of the (continued on page 7)

The parking lot of the Walgreens location in Wabash will look a bit different on Saturday, July 25, as a travel trailer from Zoomers RV will be parked in front of their building from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Yes, the trailer will be empty, but officials at the Access, Zoomers and Walgreens hope it won’t be empty for long. Zoomers is challenging the community to fill the camper with backpacks and school supplies in an effort to support this year’s Project School Supply Giveaway held at the Access Youth Center (AYC), 74 W. Canal St. “Last year, we handed out just over 400 backpacks filled with supplies to area students” said AYC Executive Director, Liz Hobbs. “This year, we hope to have 500 backpacks filled and ready for the giveaway, and this community chal-

lenge will help us reach that goal.” Zoomers will weigh the camper prior to the event and then again at the end of the day. According to executives from Zoomers: “We want to challenge the community to support our area youth by donating school supplies to fill the travel trailer. We will match $1 for every pound donated. In addition, we feel very blessed to be a partner in this project and are excited about the opportunity to connect with the community.”, There will also be opportunity to add your donations to the travel trailer prior to the July 25th event by utilizing donation drop-off sites, located at Walgreens, both First Merchant Bank locations, and Modoc’s Market, beginning July 13th. All school supplies collected from these sites will be

brought to Walgreens and added to the camper before the final weigh-in. “We are incredibly grateful to Michelle from Zoomers for headed up this community challenge, to Jay McGraw, manager of the Wabash Walgreens, for his willingness to partner with us, and for each business who will be collecting supplies prior to the event. This is another great example of our community coming together to support our young people,” said Hobbs. The Project School Supply Giveaway will take place on Thursday, July 30, at 6 p.m., and Friday July 31, at 10 a.m., at the Access Youth Center. Anyone wishing to donate or volunteer should contact the AYC office at 260.563.2070, or email aycwabash@gmail.co m.

By The Paper staff The Indiana Department of Homeland Security offered a strong warning, along with advice, on how to avoid getting scammed in the aftermath of storms. “Experiencing storm damage of any kind is a very stressful event and homeowners want things back to normal as soon as possible,” said IDHS Director of Public Information John Erickson. “That said, we urge all Hoosiers to be aware of those trying to take advantage of a difficult situation.” Erickson said that while there are many reputable contractors in Indiana, it’s not unusual for scammers to show up in areas with water, roof or tree damage and pose as contractors willing and able to help i m m e d i a t e l y. Oftentimes, these people collect a down payment for promised work and are never seen in the area again. IDHS offers these tips for hiring a contractor, after a storm, or really anytime: W h e n approached by a contractor, ask for proof he or she is licensed and bonded. Do not pay for any job in advance and be suspicious of any contractor who demands full payment up front. Do not auto-

matically hire people who just show up at the door offering services, especially for tree or debris removal and roof repair. Resist highpressure sales tactics. Pay by credit card, if possible. That may allow for additional protection should there be a problem. Do not pay in cash. Check to make sure the contractor’s vehicle has signs or marking on it with business name and phone number or URL. Make sure the scope of work and all promises, along with a timeframe and final price, are made in writing. For repairs that are not as time sensitive, try to always get three bids from different companies. The lowest bid is not always the best bid. Hoosiers who believe they may have been a victim of a home improvement scam can file a complaint with the Indiana Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division. The complaint form is available for downloading at www.IndianaConsu mer.com or call 1800-382-5516 to request a form by mail.

More than 200 audience members filled the Eagles Theater on July 16 to watch a special presentation of “Gone Doggy Gone”, an unrated comedy directed by Wabash native Brandon Walter. Walter, who moved to Hollywood in 1996 to fulfill a dream of screen writing, directing and acting, starred in his film alongside codirect Kasi Brown. After the film, Walter held a Q&A session with the audience, informing them that the movie took 18 days to film, which allowed for one or two retakes per shot. Afterward, Walter told The Paper of Wabash County that he was “a little nervous” that the Wabash audience wouldn’t react like “the other festivals where people just laugh their butt off, honestly, (but) they did which was great.” Photo by Emma Rausch

City OKs $2.115 M improvement plan Work to take place at Wastewater Treatment Plant By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A $2.115 million bid for the Headworks Improvement Project at the City of Wabash’s Wastewater Treatment Plant was approved Wednesday, July 15, by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety. The board unanimously approved the bid from the James S. Jackson Co., Bluffton, on the recommenda-

tion of the city’s engineering firm, United Consulting, of Indianapolis. “We have taken those back to see if they were consistent with the bid requirements,” United’s Keith Bryant told the board. “A total of three bids were submitted, ranging from $2,115,000 to $2,682,000. “Our last estimate, about a week before the project was bid, was right at $2,160,000, so it was

about 1 percent higher than the low bidder. A lot of that was reflected just simply by the fact there were some things added to the project. But a lot of that is simply the environment itself. “Right now we’re having a hard time getting people to bid projects because there’s so much work out there. We’ve had probably four projects within the last month that we’ve gotten one bid, and that’s with us notifying 40 or 50 potential bidders. Everyone can be selective right now. “I think part of it is part of the economy. Six or eight years ago the economy kind of went south. Some contractors who bid work like this aren’t even in business; they’ve completely shut down and others have scaled back. Now the economy has kind of rebounded, at least in this state, somewhat with this type of work, contractors either don’t exist or have less capabilities so they can be more selective. We’ve

seen that reflected in number of bids and the prices.” To reject and rebid the project, Byrant said, would likely end up with higher prices. The bids contained a mandatory alternate bid for the project, and Jackson’s was about $56,000 less than the original bid. However, Bryant said, after conversations within the United and with local plant officials, it was determined not to use the alternate bid. “We do suggest, since we have the funding to do this, that in the long term with the maintenance and operation, we do suggest going with the base bid,” he said. “It’s the best piece of equipment available for Wabash over the next 20 years. We save $56,000 today, but

are the city’s primary contacts with the firm. The new website is up and running, she said, and it also has created pages on Facebook and Twitter. Uthe, a landscape architect, also is to review all press releases before submitted to local media. “If you are contacted by the press, please contact Rachel or Zach to get them involved in writing the message,” according to the update distributed to the board. “This applies to anyone on the Steering Committee or subcommittee or working on a project in anyway.” Work is progressing on six of the Stellar projects – the Eagles Theatre Community Center

improvements, the owner occupied home rehabilitation project, improvements to the State Road 13-15 corridor improvements, the Rock City Lofts, the John Drook Memorial Park Inclusive Playground and the Façade Program. The playground, eliminated from the project earlier this year, was put back in after the city received funding from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs in June. Three other projects – the two-way conversion of Market and Canal streets, the Paradise Spring O u t d o o r Amphitheater, and the Wabash Riverwalk, Charley Creek and Cultural Trail projects – have been placed on hold.

we’re looking at the long-term cost of the operation.” The project will be paid through bonds which were purchased last week. In another contract matter, the city renewed its contract with American Structurepoint, Indianapolis, for its work with the Stellar Project. The cost is not to exceed $300,000, based on a fee schedule that is part of the contract. The fee schedule ranges from $80 per hour for technicians, researches and survey crew members, to $190 per hour for the program manager and $210 for the principal agent.

Visitors to Indiana’s state parks and state forests next year might notice more art projects and offerings thanks to a new partnership with the Indiana Arts Commission. The “Arts in the Parks” grant program is one of many ways the state is celebrating its bicentennial in 2016. The program, endorsed by the

Indiana Bicentennial Commission, also celebrates the centennial of Indiana State Parks and the 50th anniversary of the Arts Commission, both in 2016. Artists and nonprofit organizations can apply for grant funding for projects including artist residencies, performingarts events, exhibitions, educational residencies, and handson arts activities for citizens and visitors

of all ages. The IAC announced the launch of Arts in the Parks last week during a special ceremony at the Brown County State Park Nature Center. “Arts in the Parks will draw on traditional and non-traditional arts and artists in Indiana, weaving arts into our state’s natural beauty and rural settings,” said Lewis C. Ricci, executive director of the Indiana Arts

Commission. DNR director Cam Clark said the agency looked forward to the partnership. “Our DNR properties provide wonderful outdoor venues for a variety of artistic expressions, and this program is a great way to celebrate the Indiana State Parks’ centennial,” Clark said. Funding was approved during the most recent session of the Indiana General Assembly. “It is important to support local artists and community arts programs, which have been recognized as a valuable asset for economic development,” said State Sen. Jon Ford (R-Terre Haute), former chair of the IAC. The program is already accepting applications for grant funding. The deadline for organizations to apply for funding is Sept. 9. The deadline for artists is Sept. 14. Guidelines and additional information are available on the Arts Commission website at IN.gov/arts/2866.htm.

The couple’s interest in band organ music stems back to the boyhood of Mrs. Noordermeer’s husband. “My husband, he lived in the Netherlands, and the gypsies lived near where he lived,” she said. “They would ask his dad if it was OK if they played their organs once a week or whatever. So he would listen to all these organs playing, and that’s what got him into the love of street organs. “And, of course, when I heard them, I

thought they were pretty neat, too.” Fellow Canadian Pauline Leonard and her friend, John Ashworth, both of Ontario, brought a 104-year old North Tonawanda Military Band Organ to the rally in honor of Mrs. Leonard’s late husband, Capt. John Leonard. “It was built in 1910 and sold in 1911,” Ashworth said, explaining the history of the piece. “It was built to play in a roller rink, that’s why it’s so loud.” Capt. Leonard purchased the organ in 1956 and it has been registered in his name ever since. “He’d play it on the back of a pickup truck,” Ashworth continued. “He played with a gasoline engine or a steam engine. Then he got the trailer in the

1990s. “Pauline and I have rebuilt all the pneumatics in there. So we’ve got it playing pretty good.” What makes the organ even more special is that it was in the Robert Redford film “The Natural.” “They needed an organ in a merry-goround scene they had,” Mrs. Leonard said. Someone in the Buffalo, N.Y., area connected the movie producers with Leonard. “I think in the movie, they got off the train and threw the ball,” she said, explaining the part of the film the organ was to have been in. “But they cut out the carnival scene. In the background you could hear the band organ, but they cut out the merry-go-round and all the people in cos-

tume.” Capt. Leonard, a Great Lakes shipmaster, was in the market for a band organ, she said, explaining how the piece came into her husband’s possession. “He even went to Brooklyn looking for an organ,” she said. “He ended up in North Tonawanda (New York) and the fellow says ‘I’ve got one you might like.’ He showed him this organ and he bought it because he loved the horns and the

sound.” Capt. Leonard purchased the organ on Dec. 26, 1956. “There are older organs,” she said. “But I don’t think anyone has owned theirs as long as we have this one.” Not all the band organs were large pieces of equipment. Ohio resident Bob Ebert and his wife, Marcia, had two smaller, street organs at the event. “Some people call them organ grinder (continued on page 8)

few years we were finally able to afford to buy and antique music box, and that got us into the Music Box Society. One thing led to another, and we’ve got a house full of this stuff now.” Mrs. Ebert added, “You can’t have just one.” Not all the organs at the rally were

Churubusco resident Ben St. John completed building his band organ earlier this year. “My grandparents bought an incomplete organ that a man started building and never finished, so I used the pieces to build this one,” he said. “I used my own design to build this one. I used my favorite cartoon characters for the pictures.” The organ contained paintings of three characters from Anime productions on it. St. John said his band organ is unique and that he gets quite a bit of comments on it. Hartford City resident Kim Pontius built his band organ over an 11-year period. It is based on a

band organ that was built in Germany in 1912. “A fellow in Columbus, Ohio, got the dimensions off an organ that was in the Gooding Amusement Company, and he copied all the dimensions down and made one similar to this one, then he gave me the dimensions and I made this one. “I always wanted one of these, but I couldn’t afford one, so I figured if I had a chance to build one I was going to. This is the second one I built.” The first, he said, “is still at home. I wanted to sell it, but

my boys wouldn’t let me.” Pontius is a piano tuner by trade, “so I spend time doing player pianos, tuning pianos, nickelodeons, reed organs,” he said. His interest in band organs, like so many of his fellow collectors, goes back to his days as a youth. “I always liked them when I was a kid,” he said. “At the county fair they always brought around a band organ with the merry-goround. I spent all my time listening to the band organ. I didn’t care anything about the rest of the rides.”

Behind. But if you leave the parents behind, you might as well have left them behind as well.” By helping to lift up a parent, she noted, “you’re going to lift that whole structure up.” Ivy Tech’s funds will be used to cover tuition, books and some transportation costs for students taking classes in machining and welding during the 2015-16 school year at Heartland Career Center. Wabash Campus Executive Director Pam Guthrie said she is grateful for the grant. “Support from the Pauline J. Barker Educational Trust in 2014 allowed 11 students to complete the Industrial Electrical Certificate and seven more students to complete four machining classes,” Guthrie said. “Most of the students are already working at local industries and their new skills will benefit both them and their employers, leading to a more skilled workforce in Wabash County.” This is the second year for the machine tool training project. Guthrie said Wabash has relatively small manufacturing companies that need assistance from Ivy Tech to provide training for increasingly higher skilled jobs.

“With the 2015 funding, we will offer advanced training in CNC (computer numerical control set) and operations and programming for the seven students who began the machining program as well as up to four additional machinists interested in increasing their skill levels,” Guthrie said. The training, offered in partnership with the Heartland Career Center, can lead to a Certificate in Machine Tool Technology. The 2015 grant also will support a beginning level welding class for up to a dozen new students, all part of the industrial skills alliance between Ivy Tech and Heartland. “The classes are offered in the evenings, so it is possible to continue to work full time and still complete the program,” Guthrie said. “These are degreecredit classes, so students may choose to continue their education with other types

of funding and can apply these four courses toward an associate’s degree.” Since 2003, the trust has provided nearly $500,000 toward helping Wabash County adults attain the education and skills they need to succeed in the workplace. Barker, who was the manager of the Rock City Café for many years, saw the need for adult education in the Wabash Community. Her decision to form a trust for adult students in Wabash County is helping the community reach a national goal that 60 percent of residents have some kind of higher education credential. “Those of us involved in the Pauline J. Barker Educational Trust welcome the opportunity to partner with Ivy Tech in the good works it does for Wabash County citizens,” said Chuck Huffman, senior vice president of First Merchants Bank. “We recognize the need for a qualified workforce

LaFontaine faces utility rate increase cycle at the council’s June 8 meeting. While the residents agreed that they did not mind the rate increase, the biggest problem was that the large amounts came all at once instead of a steady increase over several months and that it took so long to implement the rates. “For me personally, I had to have a justification, a reason to (raise the rates),” Henderson said. “It was not an easy thing to do because we’ve been through three town clerks. It took … Cindy until January 2014, I believe, just to get the books balanced and know

... continued from the front page

where we’re at. “And that’s a tough thing because the guys went four years without any raises until we were able to do so this year.” The residents noted that there were inconsistencies in the prices among the residences, claiming that while one family used the same number of gallons as another family, bills could be higher or lower in cost. Waite, who joined the council in January 2015 after Dan Guenin resigned, said, “I would assume that they’re going to look into (the inconsistencies).”

“No, we are going to look into it,” Henderson said. “I mean that’s why we’re holding this meeting.” Originally, the council approved the rate increases on Nov. 11, 2013, and meant to implement the prices in Jan. 2014. However, due to changing of clerks at that time, an ordinance that ordered the increases into affect was passed, but never implemented at the time, Henderson told the gathered townspeople. “Three, or really four, ordinances were enacted (on Nov. 11),” said Plummer. “One

was a water rate increase, that was Ordinance Number 14, and the other one was a waste water increase and that was Ordinance Number 15, and then a sewage user fee ordinance, which was cumulative. Those three were passed. “At that time, those rates were to go into affect in December 2013,” he continued. “Well what happened was we had a change in the clerk treasurer from November 2013 to December 2013. Deb Greg was the clerk treasurer up to November 2013. Those rates should have been implemented at that time, however, somehow they never were implemented so the board went back, looked up all the ordinances. … Deb Greg said she left the minutes here, but the new clerk treasurer didn’t find the minutes, didn’t find the ordinances, so we went back and I reconstructed that whole thing.” At the meeting, several townsmen asked the council why they never noticed the ordinance never went through two years ago. “My question is if this was to go into affect in December 2013, two of you were on the board at that time, right? Jon and Gary? You don’t look at your water bill, thinking, ‘Oh mine didn’t go up,’” one attendee asked. “It took two years for you

to figure out that your bill didn’t go up? What’s the deal there?” Gillespie said that, what he presumes, the council had realized the rates weren’t implemented several months later. “Our water bills, they go up and down with usage so you don’t really see that much,” he continued. “But when we did see it, it takes some time to go back and figure out why it wasn’t. … Without knowing what it is, you have to go all the back and figure out why it wasn’t, where it was and where it wasn’t and then you have to send it back through all the different legalities of doing it.” In a phone interview following the meeting, Clerk Treasure Cindy Erb told The Paper of Wabash County that she believes the council misspoke. She referred to the council’s special meeting on April 22, during which she had announced she discovered the rate increase ordinance only hours prior to the start of the meeting. In a May 5 issue of

The Paper, Erb said, “The proposed rate that it was supposed to be increased to was $22.51. It’s never been implemented. I don’t know if this is something that the clerk before me put in. I’m not 100 percent sure.” According to meeting minutes from April 14, 2014, and May 12, 2014, the council had adjusted several customer bills due to “several issues” that came up “after the rate increase at the beginning of the year.” The April 14, 2014, minutes also confirmed that the new storm water fee was added to customers’ bills at the beginning of 2014. “In 2013, we adjusted the rates,” Henderson told the town residents on July 13. “Maybe we should have followed up with the town clerks that we went through and said, ‘Are you doing this?’ We had state audits come in and figure things out, but the books were such a mess. “So we tried to figure out where we were at before we (implemented the rates). You can blame me for that because

I’m the one as well that did not want to raise the rates because of what it could cost everyone. You know, I was raised in this community, I grew up in this community and I’m the one who has to live here as well. It wasn’t easy to have to sit back and I don’t know how many meetings we spent asking, ‘What can we do here?’” Henderson said that in 2013, the council decided to increase the utility rates as a counteraction to the increased debt from multiple loans the township accrued over the last 10 years. The updated rates would cut down on some of the town’s spending and assist in paying back the debt, the council discussed in the May 5 article of The Paper. “We have been trying to figure out ways to get out of the hole as far as water and sewage departments,” Henderson told the townsmen on July 13. “What we go by are the figures Cindy gives us every month. We keep getting in the negative here. “We started out (continued on page 23)

Pence names Marion judge to Appeals post... continued from the front page Goff told The Paper of Wabash County that the selection process “has been really humbling.” “Going through it, I almost wish I had the entire county with me because it’s not something we get to go through very often,” Goff said after Pence’s announce-

ment. “It was an honor being selected as one of the final three and it was an honor to meet Governor Pence and his party members. Altice deserved being chosen, Goff said. “Although I am somewhat disappointed I wasn’t

selected, I am happy to be able to continue to serve Wabash County,” he said. “Being selected as one of the final three, it wasn’t so much a nod to me as it was to the fact that we’re doing things the right way here in Wabash.”

ticipating in the good work Pauline Barker has done and continues to do, and will always continue to do in perpetuity, with the folks here in the Wabash community and Wabash County to help better themselves further their education, increase their skills, improve their skills and just help them be able to provide for their families better.” Ivy Tech is receiv-

ing an additional $20,000 in matching funds from the Barker trust. The funds are part of a communitywide scholarship fund in which the campus raised more than $41,000. The money will be used to establish the Pauline J. Barker Scholars program to provide scholarships for adult students from Wabash County enrolled at Ivy Tech.

After moved away, I went to college and moved back, I actually moved into my family home and all four of our children played here and now our grandchildren. “So we’re really happy to see it come to life again with more things to do.” Bill Wimberly, who lives across the street from the park, also decided to help

pitch in on the work. “Well, I look at this place every day a lot

downtown, but the rest of the town needs help, too. So this is a good start.” Other volunteers included inductees from the United States Air Force, Northfield High School and Wabash High School students, Wabash Rotarians and other members of the community.

City Council looks at truck traffic By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The question of semitractors and trailers using city streets was broached Monday, July

13, at the Wabash City Council meeting. Council member Margaret “Boo” Salb said she has seen an increase in truck traffic on city streets. “We know they defi-

nitely have GPS and everything, and I think they’re routing them right through some of the main streets of town,” she said. “Stitt Street has been getting a lot of heavy truck traf-

fic. “I don’t know how we can get around that unless we put huge signs for the truck route.” Mayor Robert Vanlandingham said he

believes that Stitt Street is still considered a state highway business route, “and you can’t keep the trucks off a state highway.” Salb said at the intersection of Manchester Avenue and Stitt and Wabash streets, “I have seen four or five trucks the past week, and all the traffic has to put it in reverse and back up because (the trucks) can’t make that corner. It’s been a mess.” Vanlandingham said he has spoken with the Indiana Department of Transportation a few years back, and asked if the city could put a sign up on Canal and Market streets saying no trucks allowed. “Basically we were told that’s a state highway and trucks could go pretty much anywhere they wanted to go on a state highway,” he said, adding that the same

holds true for Wabash and Cass streets. Council member Joan Haag noted, “But Falls Avenue isn’t. I was wondering about the city putting up a sign putting a (weight) limit on Falls Avenue.” Salb said she believed such a sign was in place on Falls near the U.S. 24 intersection. But Haag said she thinks there needs to be one on Falls near Stitt Street. City Attorney Doug Lehman said there was ordinance prohibiting truck traffic on city streets, unless they have a reason to be there. “If they’re making a delivery or a pickup or something like that on that street then they are permitted,” he said. Trucks more than 30,000 pounds cannot use city streets, unless making deliveries, according to the ordinance.

Va n l a n d i n g h a m recalled the city started ticketing truckers who were trying to drive off the designated route a few years back during the Cass Street reconstruction project. “We started ticketing, and it didn’t take but about a week and the word got around that you didn’t do that,” he said, “then all trucks stayed on the truck route.” Lehman said that “about the only thing you could do is start ticketing the trucks if they got off the state highway.” Word on that, like Vanlandingham noted, would spread and it would more than likely cease. The mayor also suggested the city’s Traffic Commission look at placing signs prohibiting truck traffic on Falls Avenue.

Midwest Poultry expansion plan upsets neighbors...continued from front page over 400,000 birds,” said Krouse. “We have to submit the application to IDEM in order to get approval to add that many birds to the existing property. So, the application has been submitted and it’s in the review process right now. “We have to comply with all of the agricultural laws of Indiana and we have to satisfy IDEM. So, they’ll look at our his-

tory, they’ll look at what we’re proposing, and they’ll make a determination as to whether or not they think this fits within the scope of what that land can be used for, and whether or not they think we would do it in a correct fashion.” According to Krouse, when undertaking this type of application process, it is the farm’s responsibility to identify all landowners within one-half mile of the site. The official application does state that IDEM will accept written public comments for 33 days following the date of the applicant mailing to the notified parties. IDEM Public Information Officer Barry Sneed further explained how those details have been addressed with regards to this particular situation. “There’s a rule stating that property

Sneed went on to confirm that Midwest Poultry’s revised permit application, and their notice to those within one-half mile, is fully within the statutes and rules of Indiana. Also, IDEM works on this type of application using a 90day timeframe, which involves a technical review of the plans, looking at all comments received regarding the farm, and then making a final decision to approve or deny the permit application. Between the two submissions of the application, more than 10 letters have been received from property owners in the area voicing their opposition to the proposed expansion. The majority of the letters identified many of the same concerns: “the disgusting odor”, “a massive fly infestation”, “dangerous truck traffic”, “decreased property values”, and “diminished quality of life”. “By rule, public comments either have to show that there’s a flaw in the plan that was submitted, or that something related to the plan would cause an adverse impact in the area,” Sneed explained. “IDEM does not control odors, nor do we control property values, nor do we control use of roads, and so

forth. So, while those are considerations for county-level decisions, we don’t have them as part of our rule packets – we just can’t consider those things. “Typically, the County Zoning Board would need to get involved for the county-level considerations. Our decision is separate from the zoning board, so you could get an application approved, but still not have county zoning and not be able to build yet. Some counties have put moratoriums on CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) long enough to look at new rules they might want to incorporate or additions to IDEM’s setback distances. If IDEM’s setback is 100 feet, and the county wants to make it 200 feet, they can; but that would have to be enforced at the county level.” The IDEM Office of Land Quality’s website states that IDEM does regulate the following: facility setbacks from streams, wells, roads, property boundaries, and residences; manure handling and storage; facility design and construction; manure application rates and setbacks; monitoring and recordkeeping; storm water runoff; and closure of

owners within onehalf mile of the farm have to be notified when an application is submitted, and that duty falls to the farm,” he said. “Many times, farmers will have a consultant that aids them with the plans for the barns, the layout for the topography, and the actual application for IDEM,” Sneed continued, “as well as helping them at any public meetings that might end up taking place. The permit manager did tell me that he has heard from some citizens who are angry they were not notified. The farm submitted a permit application previously and then decided to withdraw it. “With this application, they have moved the barns on the plans, so it is not a duplicate of the first application. With the movement of the barns, this put some citizens at a greater distance than one-half mile from the site. Some of the citizens did not realize the plans changed and felt that they should have been notified. We were informed that the farm did go ahead and notify citizens that were notified with the first permit application, even though they did not have to be notified according to the rules.”

manure storage structures. The website also lists examples of things IDEM does not regulate, including: property values; public road conditions; places where CFOs and CAFOs locate; disposal of dead animals; groundwater use; traffic; odors; and vectors. Despite the negative public comments, Krouse said he is still excited about the proposed expansion of the Hi-Grade farm. “That farm has been there with birds since at least 1985, and we have an excellent track record,” Krouse c o n c l u d e d . “Originally, it housed 500,000 birds, but it’s closer to 2.3 million birds today. “Ultimately, we’re excited about the opportunity to continue to grow a local business and to continue to grow with our customers. The reason we want to expand is because the demand is out there for the types of eggs we’re producing. So, we want to make sure we can continue to meet our customers’ expectations, while also continuing to provide good jobs in the North Manchester area. We’re glad to have been in North Manchester since 1875 and we hope to be here for a few more generations.”

with the trash. We were in a deficient with the trash of $13,000, but we got caught up with that. We have been cut $50,000 a year in our budget. When we began it was $235,000. Jeremy (Waite) wasn’t involved with that, and now it’s $180,000.” Currently, the town debt is approximately $1.8 million in loans, specifically $650,000 for a State Revolving Fund (SRF) Water Loan and $1,168,000 for a SRF Wastewater Loan, according to minutes from the April 13 town council meeting. The council paid off a Supplemental Loan as of Jan. 1, 2015, accruing a savings of $6,580 per year, and stated that a Wastewater Loan with Old National Bank will be paid off on Jan. 1, 2016, with a final payment of $40,515, the

April 13 minutes continued. When the past boards voted in these loans ten years ago, Henderson said, they did not foresee losing the school and trailer parks within the next several years or the government requirements for infrastructure upkeep. “There was one of the town clerks that was not paying the bill properly so (the trash collector) came over and he said, ‘You owe us $13,000,’” Henderson said. “Some of you in here could possibly have not paid your bills. How many do we have that don’t pay their bills (per month)? Around 40 disconnections every month. We have people that move from home to home. All the tricks are done where they move from one house to another

and they don’t pay their bill, they don’t tell you. They just go.” The council has hired a collections agent to help with these expenses, Henderson continued. “I’m willing to take any suggestions,” he said. “But when we can’t pay our bills what do you suggest we do? What do you want us to do? We’ve asked that in every meeting.” Residents chimed in that the council should start cutting costs. “My question is we’re going to help solve some of this money issue,” resident Idris Krhin said. “What else are we going to do? What’s the board going to do? What cuts are you guys going to make? I’m sure there are some that can be done.” “There’s only a few areas that you can cut,”

Henderson said. “We cut salaries, we didn’t pay insurance for four years and only part of the salary comes out of the water and sewage fund, the other part comes out of the general fund.” Former Utility Superintendent Denny Jones, who gave his formal letter of retirement in August 2014, was one of many cuts made to the council’s budget. Jones said that he has worked for the town since 1977 and has attended nearly every meeting. “Since 1977, I can think of at least three rate increases or perhaps four, and as it has already been pointed out, it would have been better and this council knows this,” Jones said. “Every council before this council discussed, ‘We need to be raising rates in incre-

ple thought excessive spending was happening. “We pay our bills, we pay wages, we pay insurance,” Jones said. “I don’t know where this excess spending is because we have not spent anything that did not have to be spent in the water company for the last four years, because I haven’t known if we have any money or not. “I was told about four years ago, ‘If you don’t have to spend it, don’t spend it,’ and we did not. So there’s been nothing other day-today operations, nothing other than if we had a break down that we had to repair, nothing proactive has been

done for at least four years. This rate increases hits, we knew it was going to be tough, but hopefully it’ll get us to the point where we can start building funds again. … But right now, every month we go in the hole and I don’t know if there’s any other way to raise money other than raise the bill and that’s unfortunate, but I don’t know how else we’ll survive.” LaFontaine’s next town council meeting will take place on Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. in the LaFontaine Town Hall located at 13 E. Branson St. Those with additional questions or concerns are encouraged to attend.

and Miami County Soil and Water Conservation Districts are co-hosting a pollinator habitat field day which is open to the public to attend. Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within flowers or carried from flower to flower by pollinating animals such as birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, beetles, other animals, or by wind. Pollinators are essential in agriculture and critical to the production of more than one-third of our food products. A pollinator habitat can be utilized in your backyard, on a small plot of land or over several acres. Anyone interested in learning about pollinator habitats is invited to attend the workshop held Wednesday, July 22 from 6—8 p.m. The workshop will be held at Rick and Deb Key’s located at 6731 East 800 South, Peru.
