Land acquired for dog park By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A dog park in the City of Wabash is one step closer to reality. Stan and Patsy Myers have agreed to let the park be built on about an acre of land south of their business, EcoWater Systems, 615 S. Carroll St. The park will be under the auspices of The Dog Man of Wabash County, according to Gary Henderson, better known as

The Dog Man. “It’s not actually affiliated at all with the 4-H Dog Club, but obviously they’re going to be a huge part in using it,” Henderson told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s also not affiliated with the City of Wabash. “I’m going to have to come up with my own liability insurance and stuff like that. The only thing we can hope for is that it be self-sustaining.” Because of that, an annual fee to use

the park will likely be charged, Henderson noted, possibly $10 per year. “The plan is right now to put a six foot fence around the perimeter,” he said. “That’s not necessarily to keep people in, but to keep people and other dogs out. “Entrance is going to be controlled as to who is able to go in and out. The preliminary plan right now is we do a card swipe or a key fob. It would be a double gate. You go in the first gate, shut it, then go in the second. Obviously if there are

dogs in there we don’t want them to be able to run out. The key fob would be able to track whose going in and whose going out and how often it’s being used.” Dogs also will have to meet certain criteria to be admitted to the park. “We’re going to have to do vet checks,” Henderson said. “We’re going to have to be pretty critical as far as vet checks. This spring we had a round of kennel cough. It goes pretty fast. We want to (continued on page 17)

NHS grad is Minuteman scholar By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A Northfield High School graduate is one of five Hoosiers to have received a Minuteman Scholarship from the National

Guard. Drake Heitz received the scholarship on Wednesday, June 8, from Staff Sgt. Willie Justice of the Indiana National Guard. Heitz will use his scholarship to attend Rose Hulman Institute of Technology.

“Over the next for years, the Guard will pay $57,000 a year,” Justice told The Paper of Wabash County. “So he’s going to graduate not owing anything.” Heitz began the application (continued on page 18)

The MSD of Wabash County School Board named Mike Keaffaber as the corporation’s next superintendent at a special meeting Thursday, June 16. The board began searching for its next superintendent on June 8 following former Dr. Sandra Weaver’s retirement announcement. Weaver’s resignation will come into full effect June 30. Finding her replacement happened pretty quickly because Weaver’s retirement wasn’t anticipated, Keaffaber told The Paper of Wabash County. “She just decided it was time and that, somewhat, was a surMIKE prise to us,” he explained. “We KEAFFABER just had to wait to see how things played out.” On June 16, the board announced their decision to hand the position over to Keaffaber. “I’m very thankful and blessed and feel very privileged for the opportunity,” he said. “I know there are a lot of challenges in education. There always has been, but I really feel like I’m very capable of leading the charge and continuing on of what we’re doing here at (continued on page 17)

Official pleased with Lagro festival By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

LAGRO – Several hundred people line the streets of Lagro on Saturday afternoon, June 18, for the annual Lagro Good Ole Days Festival. The parade featured fire trucks, old cars and floats from various community organizations. Of course, most of the entries tossed candy to the youngsters who were standing along the parade route, bags to hold the free goodies in hand.

Lagro resident Clyde Rife was the parade’s grand marshal. A Lagro resident since 1971, Rife is a Northfield High School graduate and is a veteran of the U.S. Army. He retired from Diehl Machines after 38 years. “Clyde can be seen around town with his lawn mower or weed eater,” according to the festival booklet. “He loves being outdoors and adores his children. He is a member and very active in activities at the Lagro American Legion.

“He is willing to help whenever and where ever needed.” Activities began Thursday evening and continued through Sunday afternoon with a mud volleyball tourney. Festival Committee member Kristie Bone said that she was pleased with this year’s event and that she has been receiving positive comments from the public. “They really liked the circus and the bands we had this year,” she said.

KC & The Sunshine Band to perform at Ford Theater By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com It’s been more than 40 years since Harry Wayne Casey burst upon the music scene. Casey, better known as KC, leader of KC and the Sunshine Band, has been getting people out on the dance floor with his sound that is a mixture of R&B and pop that spawned dance music. KC will bring his unique sound to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater for a 7:30 p.m. show on July 2. “It’s pop and R&B that turned into disco or dance or whatever you want to call it,” KC said, discussing his style of

music in a telephone interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “It was a sound that I created to have high energy, up tempo songs on the album with no ballads on it. To bring energy back into music. That was the whole idea behind it. “From that grew all these great disco records and the sounds that are happening today.” A longtime Mowtown fan, KC said he wanted to bring some of the key elements of the Mowtown sound into his music. “I put out a song called ‘Blow Your Whistle,’ and the next song I thought should be called ‘Sound Your Funky Horns,’ so I just

decided to have horns on every record from then on out,” he said. “I grew up listening to Motown, Stax sound, all those records that have horn tracks on it. It just felt like the right thing to do. I’ve always liked brass, kind of a big band sound in a way.” The combination has worked. Since 1973 when he put out “Blow Your Whistle,” which made the Top 15 on the R&B Chart, the success and accolades have poured in for KC & the Sunshine Band. His second album, the self-titled KC & The Sunshine Band caught the music world by storm with such hits as “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s The Way (I Like It),” “Boogie Shoes” and “Rock Your Baby” all hitting the No.1 spot. His third album, “Part 3,” contained the No.1 hits “I’m Your Boogie Man,” “Shake Your Booty” and “Keep It Comin’ Love.” The band’s efforts resulted in it being the first musical act to have four No.1 songs in one year since The Beatles did it in 1964. Along the way, KC won the American Music Award for Best R&B Artist in 1975,

he received a Grammy Award for Album of the Year and Producer of the Year in 1978 for work on the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack and in 2002 received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His music has been featured at numerous sporting events and has been featured in more than 200 movie soundtracks. While the accolades are impressive, KC said they don’t take away at the very reason why he has stayed in the business for 43 years. “All those accomplishments are great,” he said. “They are things to look at that you’ve done. But it’s really about the music, what it’s done for people and what I’ve wanted it to do for people. I’m happy to see that’s what the music did was to bring happiness and joy into people’s lives. That was the whole idea behind it. “All the accolades that come with it are great – you know, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Grammy and all of that, because some of that is from people from within the industry. To have those is a fare amount of approval and acceptance. But it is really about the music. That is what I looked at it as.” Through the years, the band has released 14 studio albums, two live albums and 12 compilation albums. Its latest release, “Feeling You, The ‘60s” was released in March 2015. A new release, “Feeling You,

Harry Wayne Casey – better know as KC – will bring KC and the Sunshine Band to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater for a July 2 concert. Photo provided

The ‘70s,” is still in the works. “It started out as an original album of original stuff,” he said of “Feeling You, The ‘60s.” “During my show I do some covers to keep it familiar. I started doing ‘Love the One You’re With,’ ‘You Are So Beautiful,’ ‘Time after Time,’ ‘Say’ by John Mayer. “On this album, I thought I want to put those couple songs from the show I did and a song from the ‘60s, ‘Stand by Me.’ I threw those on the album and when I kept listening to the album, I decided why not put 15 more songs on, make it a two record set and call it ‘I’m Feeling You’?” As for the follow-up

album … “I’m still cutting stuff,” KC said. “I have a lot in the vault. When it’s really ready, then we’ll put it out. I just want to make sure it’s the best that I can give after really not doing anything for a long time.” KC & The Sunshine Band still perform about 60 shows per year, mostly on the weekends. Following the Wabash show, the band will make its way to Aurora, Ill., for a July 3 show at Riveredge Park, followed by an Independence Day performance in Dublin, Ohio, which the band will headline with 1980’s rocker Joan Jett. As for the Wabash

show, “95 percent of the show is all of my hits. 5 percent is some covers,” KC said. “There are little bits and pieces of some familiar songs from the ‘70s thrown into the show. “It’s high energy, other than the ballads I’ve had. It’s just 15 people on stage having a great time and bringing a great time to Wabash. “That’s my happiest moments in life is being out on that stage.” Tickets remain for the show and can be purchased at the Honeywell Center Box Office. Tickets are $49, $59, $69 and $100.

5 City Schools handbooks updated; changes made to unexcused absences THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

June 22, 2016

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash City Schools students will no longer have six allowed absences per semester and it’s for the better, according to Laura Sigler, Wabash Middle School (WMS) vice principal. Sigler met with the Wabash City Schools Board Monday, June 13, to update the board on the middle school’s student handbook changes, the majority of which were to the attendance policy. “I found out that we weren’t 100 percent compliant with the Indiana code for attendance as well as recommendations by the Department of Education,” Sigler told the board. The way the state defines an unexcused absence and the way Wabash officials were defining an unexcused absence were two different things, she explained. “So all of these changes are just to make us inline, not only with what Indiana code states, with what the Department of Education recommends, but also when we make a call to probation or DCS (Department of Child Services) about an attendance concern, now we’re all speaking the same language,” she continued. Prior to the changes, WMS allowed six excused absences per semester, according to

Sigler. “So it really didn’t matter what it was for,” she said. “Whether it was a parent called them in sick (or) the doctor wrote them off because of chicken pox, they were allowed six per semester. Once they got past that six, we either required a doctor’s slip or they turned into unexcused.” However, that system was flawed, Sigler continued. “The problem comes when a kid has surgery in September (and) a doctor writes him off for five days. Well there’s five of his six days,” she explained. “He gets the stomach bug in November. You don’t need to go to the doctor for a stomach bug, but you use two more days, now all of a sudden you’re in unexcused where we start doing discipline.” Parents would go to the emergency room just to get a note in these instances just to justify their child missing some school days, she continued. “So the changes are really to address three types of absences,” Sigler said. In compliance with Indiana State code, absences will now be categorized as exempt, excused or unexcused, she explained. Students will be authorized exempted absences under the following conditions: • The student serves as a page or honoree of the General Assembly • He or she serves on

the precinct election board or as a helper to a political candidate or party on the day of a municipal, primary or general election • The pupil is subpoenaed to testify in court • He or she serves with the National Guard for no more than 10 days or serve with the Civil Air Patrol for up to five days • The student or a member of the student’s household exhibits or participates in the Indiana State Fair for educational purposes “So those students, even though they’re missing school, we count them present (and) it doesn’t count against any attendance,” Sigler said. The handbook also modified the requirements for the Perfect Attendance Certificate, she continued. “Anything that’s considered an exempt absence, we can’t penalize the student for,” she explained. “So if they have an exempt absences, they would still be counted toward perfect attendance.” The Department of Education has also laid out what it is considering excused absences, she continued. Excused absences are defined as “legitimate reasons for being out of school,” according to the Indiana Department of Education. Excused absences include: • Illness of a student.

• There is a death in the immediate family. • Pre-arranged dental or medical visits. • Pre-arranged college visits with a maximum of two per year. The school also recognizes that there are situations that do not fall into these accepted reasons, and, for absences that do not fall into these categories, parents of the student must contact Sigler for a prearranged excused absence, according to the WMS handbook guideline changes. “Those count as the student being absent, however, there is no limit to those,” Sigler said. “If a kid misses 10 excused absences, there’s no penalty or anything like that. “The biggest change is now we’re defining unexcused absences as anything that doesn’t fall under excused or exempt.” A student will now be permitted 10 unexcused absences, or “parent call-in days,” per school year instead of six per semester, she continued. “If a kid says, ‘Mom I’m sick. I can’t go to school today.’ Parent calls in and says, ‘Hey my kid’s not coming in today,’ it’s going to be considered an unexcused absence,” she explained. “We’re going to be keeping track of these on a yearly basis because, again, that’s what the state recommends. “So again, rather than going six days per semester, we’re going

A Wabash man was arrested on drug-related charges Thursday morning, June 16, after he was reported trespassing. According to a news release from Sgt. Matt Benson, Wabash Police Department Public Information Officer: At approximately 12:24 a.m., Wabash Police Department officers responded to Village Pantry, located at 204 Stitt St., for a report of a subject trespassing in the store. Sgt. Nick Brubaker preliminarily identified the subject as Justin H. Huttinger, 31, Wabash, and allegedly located him driving out of the parking lot. Brubaker initiated the traffic stop on the vehicle Huttinger was

to allow 10 days per year.” Sigler expects that she will have to make “a lot” of phone calls updating parents on the changes, she told the board. “We’ll talk about it at open house,” Sigler said. “I’m going to get something together to get out at registration as well. We’re going to talk to the students about it, and … when we start seeing those kids all of a sudden start creeping up (in absences), they’re at five absences and it’s only September, we’ll start making those phone calls to parents.” Wabash High School Vice Principal Jeff Galley also spoke before the board and presented changes to the high school’s student handbook. “Each year at the end of the school year, we go over and review (the handbook), what works, what doesn’t work, what have we outgrown and what do we need to look ahead for,” Galley said. One change will provide the high school’s teachers with more grading options, he explained. “We did several years ago, in regards to grading scale, remove semester exams as having a major impact on semester grades and we decided this year to put that back in as an option,” Galley continued. “We had some teachers who wanted that option. We have some teachers who want to do the 50 per-

cent, 50 percent. “So really all we’re doing is bringing back something that we had, but giving teachers the option and giving them more control of what they get to do in the classroom.” Changes included the addition of excused absence guidelines, an academic integrity policy and additional guidelines to the technology use policy. “We really need to look to stress academic integrity because we are an early college high school,” Galley said. “We all know, at that next level, that … (students) need to understand the importance of doing things right academically.” The academic integrity policy includes disciplinary action for plagiarism and fabrication. The technology use policy’s new guidelines clarify to students and parents that the use of the laptops and the electronics Wabash High School provides is a privilege, according to Galley.

“It is not a right,” he explained. “It is something that we allow our students to do. In the past, there’s been a question about that with some students. … So we just wanted to make sure we clarified that.” The handbook also removed Advanced Placement (AP) classes from the academic courses list. “As we move forward with our collaboration with the higher education (early college high school accreditation), it just works out as well as with the new requirements by the State for having teachers credentialed with those same courses,” Galley said. “So we thought it’s best to get these removed right now, step back, get that credentialing that we need, work with this higher educational institutions … so that we can do it the right way.” The board voted and approved all changes to both school’s student handbooks.

I would like to thank my family and everyone that sent cards, for helping to make my 95th birthday a very special occasion.

McKillip, Truman, and Haupert place at MLB “Pitch-Hit-Run”

By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com

Three players from Wabash’s Little League Baseball program advanced to the regional level of the MLB “Pitch-Hit-Run” (PHR) competition in Chicago on June 11. Brandon McKillip, who plays for the Blackhawks Little League Team, participated in the 9-10 year old level and received first place in the overall competition. Jaiden Truman, who also plays on the Blackhawks, participated in the 11-12 year

old level and also received an overall first place prize. Korbin Haupert, a member of the Red Sox Little League team, competed in the 7-8 year old level and finished third overall. This is the Wabash Little League’s second year taking part in the MLB “Pitch-Hit-Run” program, with a turn out of about 25 players from Wabash starting out in the competition at the local level, and these three being the only players to remain in the running at a chance to go to San Diego for Nationals. There are four levels

total during the PHR tournament: local, sectional, regional (or team championship), and national. The tournament started in April, here at Wabash, the players competing with other community Little League members. The winners of the local level advanced to sectionals, which took place in Fort Wayne, competing against surrounding counties. Then McKillip, Truman, and Haupert competed in the regional at Chicago against more than 360 players from all different cities. Each level tested the same skills, but gradually got harder as the competition improved and grew. For the “Pitch” portion of tournament, each participant threw about five balls, aiming for a target. Each time they hit the mark, they were given a certain number of points. The “Hit” part of the title required the players to swing at a ball on a T, hitting it as straight out in the outfield and as hard as they could. The farther out and the straighter the ball was, the better their scores were. During the “Run” competition, each player ran a distance of 180 feet and were timed, the quickest runners

getting the most points. First, second, and third place awards were given to the top three winners from each portion of the event. “Overall” first, second, and third place winners were rewarded to the top three players whose three scores added up to the most total points. Already, with or without nationals, these boys accomplished something that their families, coaches, and fellow community members are all extremely proud of them for. “Them going forward is a direct reflection on Wabash and on Wabash Little League,” Bryan Dillon, who runs Wabash Little League, said. “If they advance to Chicago, I’m hoping that the whole city will get behind them.” By winning two first place awards and one third place award, they have already beaten hundreds of other Little League players, becoming part of the top 100 players in each of their age groups, and have been honored at a White Sox game for their accomplishments. “All of the winners

He told everyone his name and what he had done.” When they found out they would be traveling to Chicago to compete in the regional level of the PHR, the boys and their families were thrilled and immedi-

ately shared the news with the rest of the Little League teams. “I was getting texts and pictures of the kids and smiles and everything,” Dillon said. The Wabash Little League came together to help them celebrate before the boys and their families traveled to Illinois. “We called them all three to come out onto the field, and asked their parents to come out, asked everybody to wish them good luck

Clubhouse encourages reading with program: The Woman’s Clubhouse Community Outreach Program selected Headstart to be the recipient of it’s S.T.A.R. (Start Talking About Reading) Program this year. The program encourages parents everywhere to read and discuss stories with children of all ages.

The Headstart teachers and Diana Rapp, seated in the back, representing the Woman’s Clubhouse, participated in the presentation. Photo provided

and safe travels,” Dillon said. “We gave them each a Wabash hat to wear to Chicago. We gave them a good send-off.” McKillip, Truman, and Haupert all prepared for the competition on their own and traveled to Chicago with their families, making it not only a Little League event, but a family trip as well. “It was just a huge honor to be there,” McKillip told The Paper of Wabash County. “It was so surreal to be out at the field.” This experience that McKillip, Truman, and Haupert have shared with their teams, families, and community wouldn’t have been possible without the Wabash Little League staff and all of the help they received from the county. Tyler Drook, who coaches two teams in the Little League, 9-12 year olds and 13-16 year olds, took the reigns and helped make the “Pitch-Hit-Run” competition take off for the players here in Wabash. “It was kind of a vision of mine, then I said I needed someone to run it and he did it. So without him and the other volunteers…we wouldn’t have been able to have it.” Dillon said. “It really started with him because he stepped up to do it.” The boys’ total scores will be compared to other “PitchHit-Run” winners from other cities’ competitions and will find out via email if they will be advancing to Nationals within the next couple weeks. “The Little League, the community, myself, our Board of Directors, their coaches - all of them are extremely proud of these boys.” Dillon said.

Wabash County Transit seeks 2017 grant David Purvis-Fenker david@nmpaper.com

Living Well in Wabash County is seeking a grant for 2017 to assist with the operating costs of Wabash County Transit (WCT). Beverly Ferry, Chief Executive Officer of Living Well in Wabash County, presented information about the grant to the Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners on June 13. WCT has a projected budget of nearly $600,000 for 2017. Of that, nearly $199,000 comes from local sources. These sources include discounts granted to WCT by local businesses, which average between $20,000 and $60,000 per

year. “Some of that is inkind, some of that is United Fund, some of it is [the Wabash County Board of Commissioners], the Town Board of North Manchester, the City of Wabash, and this year we got a grant from Parkview which was very helpful,” Ferry said. The in-kind funding comes from local businesses to the tune of $20,000 to $60,000 per year. This includes discounts given by local businesses, and everything is documented and sent to the state annually. “We appreciate that support and I think it is really worth noting that it is actually greater than any one

government entity has given,” said Ferry. The grant would help cover the remaining expenses. Ferry also reviewed the organization’s fiscal management policy with the Board. This included discussion of the local business contributions and how they are recorded and reported to the state. Part of the grant includes speculative changes resulting from a survey conducted by WCT. If WCT wants to add any additional routes or makes other changes next year they must be included in the grant, so all changes they are considering during the grant application process are included in case those

changes occur. The survey results are still being processed, but enough information is in for WCT to begin discussion for the purposes of the grant. “We have not gone through the process yet of going back to our steering committee, but we have the preliminary results and so in case we make any changes next year, like add an additional kind of route, that has to be in this year’s proposal,” said Ferry. One possible change would be the addition of a point deviated fixed route. This would be a route which has specific stops, or points, but which allows for stops between points as well.

“In the survey, anybody over 60 wanted the service to stay the same. Anybody about 55 and younger, who were not current riders, wanted to see points added,” said Ferry. Ferry said that some studies show that such a route is beneficial to the provider in terms of cost effectiveness and increased ridership, but not all. “In talking to other systems that are like us, in terms of size and community, what they’ve experienced was that it increased ridership, it served more people who were not riders,” said Ferry. However, she said that it did not save money, at least in the experience of Cass County.

Cass County does not charge for their point deviated fixed route. Ferry doesn’t know if they’ll implement it, but “Because of the

results, that’s certainly something we have to look at this year for next year or the following year.”

Col. Douglas Schwartz, the retired 434th Air Refueling wing commander at Grissom Air Reserve Base, is the latest recipient of the Key to the City of Wabash. Schwartz, who retired in May, received the honor from Mayor Scott Long during the June 13 Wabash City Council meeting. A Fort Wayne native, Schwartz served 35 years in the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Reserve. “Col. Schwartz has been an advocate for the City of Wabash,” Long said in making his introduction. “As commander of the 434th, he visited our city often. “He brought visiting dignitaries to Wabash and entertained them here at the Honeywell House. One of his favorite restaurants is Twenty.” Long said the award was given to Schwartz “in view of his continued support for our community.” Schwartz, who was joined his wife, Ann, as well as Wabash residents Hal and Rosemary Job at the ceremony, said he was honored by the presentation. He also said the Jobs were instrumental in helping him throughout his time as wing commander, with Job serving as his honorary wing commander. “Anytime I needed to host dignitaries, the

cial treat for our committee to bring those people here to entertain them. “I tell you, Wabash is all over the map.”

WCS Board approve administrator salaries By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Two Wabash City Schools administra-

tors received raises following the School Board’s approval on Monday, June 13. The board approved raises for Chief

Business Officer Matt Stone and O.J. Neighbours Assistant Principal Josh Blossom, both of which took over addi-

tional administrative duties this year. “The only changes from the (2015)-16 year to the 16-17 year are Mr. Stone comes with

a $10,000 increase,” Superintendent Jason Callahan said. Stone will take over as Wabash High School’s athletic director, replacing Greg Martz. “In addition to the athletic director, there’s also an additional 20 days of time allocated or required out of that contract,” Callahan explained. Blossom’s contract received the only other increase this year. His contract “was adjusted by about $330 to $68,000,” Callahan said. “We removed the college and career readiness director title and he picked up two pretty hefty responsibilities from Dr. (Melissa) Brisco and that is the district testing coordinator … and grant coordinator.” The raises are meant to compensate both administrators for their time spent in heading the additional responsibilities, according to

Callahan. Callahan told the board he will be picking up the college and career readiness responsibilities with the assistance of WHS principal Kyle Wieland. At the start of the 2015, Stone’s salary was $87,147 while Blossom’s was $76,423, according to Indiana Gateway for Government Units. However, Blossom’s salary experienced a decrease to $67,670 as he transitioned from high school principal to elementary assistant principal at the start of the 2015-2016 school year. Administrative position cuts were made and the responsibilities were merged with other positions as a result of the board’s failing to pass the operating tax referendum in May, according to Callahan in the May 11 issue of The Paper of Wabash County. The board also approved the follow-

ing salaries, which remained unchanged from 2015: • Jason Callahan, WCS superintendent: $104,000 • Kyle Wieland, Wabash High School principal: $85,000 • Mike Mattern, Wabash Middle School principal: $81,000 • Danielle Miller, O.J. Neighbours Elementary principal: $77,000 • Jeff Galley, WHS Assistant principal: $68,000 • Laura Sigler, WMS Assistant principal: $64,000 • Justin Vail, director of technology integration: $50,484 In response to critics about his salary, Callahan told The Paper that his salary is 20 percent less than the state average and that he encourages the public to research the national salary average for positions that run corporate offices.

4-H Club: Tip Top 4-H Projects: Crops & Poultry 4-H Grows Citizenship: As a 4-H member, Clayton has grown his citizenship skills in a variety of ways. The Tip Top 4-H Club makes and delivers Valentine Cards to nursing home residents each year. Clayton continued, “I have served as club president and learned leadership skills. It is important for youth to learn to be positive leaders in their community. Through 4-H I have learned that in the future I need to lead; not just follow. Each year at fair time, we help set-up and prepare the grounds/poultry barn for the fair. The set-up experience has taught me if everyone in 4-H works hard and puts their best effort forward, then what could be a big job gets done.” Clayton related the skills learned in 4-H to being a citizen within the Wabash Community. “If everyone does their best, then it makes the whole community stronger.” Clayton concluded his early May interview by reminding one 4-H Educator that if she had not voted for Wabash in the Small Business Revolution yet that day that she should be a good citizen and get that done.

4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves 4-H Projects: Goats, Feeder Calves, Photography 4-H Grows Citizenship: Matthew believes that a good citizen is one who holds many traits. A good citizen is respectful to others and respected by others, responsible, dependable, follows rules/laws, is willing to help others and is able to lead or follow depending on the situation. “I feel I have been able to do all of this through 4-H. Through my years in 4-H, I have done numerous activities with my club, for example, fundraisers, Relay for Life, collected pop tabs for Riley, Caroling at retirement homes, Octoberfest, volunteered for building duty at the fair, helped with mini 4-H, and have been Club President 3 years.” Learning to be a good citizen will continue to be relevant for Matthew in the future as he prepares to attend engineering school at Purdue. While he has excelled at STEM activities and was encouraged to go into engineering, Matthew’s dream job is to become an attorney. By creatively combining his two loves of engineering and law, he hopes to become a patent attorney where he can enjoy his work and be a successful citizen.

Future Plans: Attend Taylor University to Study Film Production 4-H Club: Chester Champs 4-H Projects: Collections & Photography 4-H Grows Citizenship: Throughout ten years of 4-H work and involvement with the Chester Champs 4-H Club, Ethan has had the opportunity to participate in many service activities. His club participates in events such as Christmas Caroling and the Festival of Trees at Timbercrest. Wabash County 4-H experiences have helped Ethan learn things he can do to be a good citizen. Ethan believes, “4-H has helped me learn to be a positive citizen.” Through 4-H, younger members often watch and look up to older members. Ethan has learned that he needs to, “Set a good example for younger folks and for my peers.” Ethan continued by acknowledging other ways the 4H program has helped him stating, “I have learned to be persistent and persevere when things don’t go as planned. In the photography project, I have learned to be patient and dedicated; both skills that I can carry with me into a film career. 4-H has helped me grow citizenship skills that will allow me to be a positive productive member of society.”

in yourself has a lot to do with words. You are what you say you are. Your children will be what you say they are. Aren’t they all champions!” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week! PLEASE EMAIL YOUR NEWS AND INFORMATION TO: isaac.triplett@yahoo.c om, or call me at 260274-2261.

MARION – The Marion Police Department is investigating an increasing number of “skimming” cases, according to Deputy Chief Stephen Dorsey. Dorsey defined “skimming” as a type of credit card fraud wherein criminals strategically place devices on or inside credit card machines in order to steal debit card or credit card information. The information obtained from the magnetic strip is then downloaded to a pre-pay Visa or MasterCard and can be immediately used to make purchases from various retailers. MPD reported the increase of calls from victims started June 1. So far, approximate-

ly 50 victims have reported that their credit or debit cards have been compromised. The victims also reported that unauthorized transactions have appeared on their bank statements. Many victims were notified by their financial institutions, which altered the cardholders of each transaction made on their account. The “common denominator” of locations the victims used their debit or credit cards are: •The Marion Walmart self checkout register, located at 3240 S. Western Ave. •BP Gas Station car wash machine, located at 1401 W. 2nd St. Dorsey noted that the skimming devices placed at each of these establishments were not due to lack of security by the retail-

ers. Skimming devices seemingly can be placed anywhere credit or debt cards are accepted. Both establishments are fully cooperating with the MPD’s investigation, according to Dorsey. Victims have reported that the transactions appearing on their bank statements are coming from retailers outside of Grant County including Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Anderson and Greenwood areas. The transactions have been for various currency amounts and some victims have reported multiple unauthorized transactions on their accounts. All victims have reported that their debit or credit cards were in their possession and not stolen at

the time their information was used. If a person finds that their credit or debit card information has been compromised, Doresy states to do the following: • Contact the card’s financial institution immediately • Confirm that the card has been compromised • Cancel the credit or debit card with the financial institution • Request a bank statement copy • Call the local police agency and request a fraud report be filed Dorsey encourages citizens to monitor their bank statements closely and report any suspicious activity to their financial institution immediately. Contact the local police agency to report any unauthorized purchased.

Land acquired for dog park ... continued from the front page make sure whoever goes in there is up to date on their shots and to make sure there are no troublemakers, as far as dogs. A dog might get aggressive.” Animals or owners violating the park’s rules and regulations will not be allowed to return. “Right now we’re thinking up to three violations,” Henderson said. “You’re third violation then you’re out.” Violations can be anything from not cleaning up a dog’s mess, to having the animal get vicious toward a person or another animal. If administrators receive complaints, Henderson said, they will talk with both parties before making a ruling. The length of punishment will be determined by the rule violations. “If a dog is aggressive, they’re not going to get that aggressive-

ness out unless they go to some type of training,” Henderson said. “A lot of times we’ll be able to figure that out before it goes in. It’s just to protect the liability for everybody.” While the park’s amenities are still being discussed, Henderson said there are several things he would like to see included. “We’re going to have obstacles in there,” he said. “The plan is to have a tunnel, a teeter totter, it’s low profile so if the dog falls off it won’t be harmed. We’ll have a couple jumps as well. “On one side of it it’s long enough where you can throw a ball. The vision for the future is like Purina’s jump in the water tank where they have the water jumps, something like that would be a lot of fun. Then creating Frisbee contests, things like that. We’ll

have room for that.” Part of the park will be used as a memorial section. Henderson said that portion of the park will be named after a late 4-H Dog Club member, Ashley Younce. “We lost her when she was 22-years-old,” Henderson said. “We’re going to create a memorial to her with a bench, maybe a tree or something where people can go and sit and reflect and memorialize one of their companions. That’s definitely in there.” Henderson said if the group raises enough funds, the fence could be up by this fall. If not, he said, next spring would be the target date to open the facility. “This is a community thing,” he said, but in order to make it work it needs community support. “Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.”

Keaffaber named MSD superintendent ... continued from the front page MSD.” For the first month, Keaffaber will be titled as interim superintendent due to legal formalities, he explained to The Paper. “The reason I’m interim superintendent right now is because there are some timeline legal issues that have to occur first,” Keaffaber said. “For any superintendent’s license, the law states that you have to publish the contract, so our contract will be published and then after 10 days you have to have a public hearing.” The public hearing will take place at the next board meeting, July 12. “Really that public hearing is (for) anybody that has … public comment, any questions or anything like that,” he continued. “Then the law states afterward, that after you have that public meeting you have to wait seven days to go into contract with that superintendent.” On July 28, the interim title will disappear and Keaffaber will officially take over the role for the next three years. Keaffaber has been a part of a member of the MSD family for eight years, undertaking various positions throughout the school system during that time. He began his educational career at Oak Hill United School Corporation in 1985 teaching for 10 years and serving as princi-

pal for 13 years. In 2008, he returned to his hometown and joined White’s JuniorSenior High School as principal. “It was a Godsend that helped me to come to White’s JuniorSenior High School,” Keaffaber said. “I was there for three years at White’s and then the principal at Northfield Junior-Senior High School left at the beginning of the school year and Dr. Weaver, the superintendent, asked me of transferring to Northfield.” Keaffaber acted as NHS’s principal for four years before leaving in 2015 to join the administrative staff as assistant superintendent of finance. “I always had aspirations about going to central office, would like to and enjoy budgets and seeing a bigger picture of MSD of Wabash County,” he said. “Then obviously I was just here one year, but it’s given me a real good basis as far as the school corporation and the budget process and our financial status.” Now, he’ll again be giving up his position to take on more responsibility as the MSD’s superintendent. “I do believe that the opportunities that I’ve had previously will really help me in propelling our district here because of the knowledge and understanding of what our goals are.”

When Weaver announced her resignation, she spoke about the legacy she left behind. Keaffaber plans to continue that legacy. “As far as the legacy, one of the legacies that she talked about was the technology,” he said. “I have been happy with our direction and, yes, I would like to continue that. “I know that there’s so much that when you’re talking about technology, we can’t just go on what we just learned yesterday, even, or last year. We have to keep looking at ways that we can keep improving our instruction.” With the board, Keaffaber said he’d like to celebrate the school’s successes more. However, his main focus will be on MSD’s tag line: Dream big and work hard. “This past school year, we took a lot of time as an admin team and then we took this out to all of our staff as far as our tag line, our mission statement, our vision statement,” he explained. “At the end of the year, we did not anticipate Dr. (Melissa) Brisco taking her position, we didn’t anticipate Dr. Weaver retiring and so we spent that time to do that and I don’t want that time to be wasted. “I want to be able to propel that to what we’re doing.”

NORTH MANCHESTER — Nine in 10 Manchester University graduates who responded to a Gallup survey this year say they are satisfied or extremely satisfied with the education they received from MU. In the same survey, 95 percent of Manchester respondents report they are satisfied with their personal lives today. About 2,500 randomly selected MU graduates responded to the Gallup-Purdue Index, the first-ever measure of college graduates’ long-term success in their careers and lives. Manchester is among 13 Indiana universities taking part. Gallup Inc., the wellknown polling company, developed standard questions and demographic criteria for participating colleges and universities. Manchester’s results provide a benchmark

to help the University gauge how its graduates are doing in relation to college graduates nationally. MU respondents “agree” or “strongly agree” with the following: — 89 percent are satisfied with the education they received. — 85 percent say it was worth the cost.81 percent took out student loans and say that was worth the cost. — 81 percent say they were well-prepared for life outside of college. — 90 percent were challenged academically. “We are very pleased to see these extremely positive results for Manchester University and its graduates,” said John Sampson, president and CEO of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership. “Northeast Indiana is committed to develop, attract and retain talent, and these results demonstrate the direct benefits to our region

from this exceptional institution of higher education.” One satisfied alumna is Elizabeth Reading Hippensteel. She graduated from MU in 2000 with a degree in biology and is a research scientist at DePuy Synthes in Warsaw. She lives in North Manchester with her husband and daughter. She said the range of classes she chose from the Manchester liberal arts core “gave me the freedom to think outside the box.” They helped prepare her, outside of science classes, with critical thinking skills. That education included international experiences, and now world travel is something she does for business and for pleasure with her family. Hippensteel also treasured the “accessibility of the professors” who would give students their home phone numbers or have students over for supper. Having grown up

in the Chicago area, she had not been accustomed to the intimacy of the community she found at Manchester “… the kindness of everybody” that led to lifelong friendships. “Manchester exposed me to areas I’d never experienced before,” said Carolyn Ringeisen, a first-generation college student who met the love of her life at Manchester and went on to get a master’s degree and teach accounting after graduating in 1966. “It just lit up a whole new world,” she said. In addition to the strong accounting program, courses in art and music cultivated “an appreciation for the arts that we’ve had our entire lives.” Likewise, required courses in religion and philosophy encouraged the couple to explore their beliefs and values.

Challenger League enters second season By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com When it comes to baseball in Chicago, there are White Sox fans and there are Cubs fans. Never shall the two agree on which team to support. When it comes to the Wabash Little League’s Challenger Division, White Sox and Cubs fans unite to support one group – the players. The Challenger Division was created by Little League Baseball in 1989 as a way to allow those with physical and mental challenges to play baseball. This is the second year that Wabash Little League has offered such a division. Teams are made up of players from 4 to 18 years of age, according to Little League Baseball’s website. However, those up to age 22 can be on a team if they are still enrolled in high school. Things are going well this season, Challenger League Commissioner Sam Hipskind told The Paper of Wabash County. There have been some setbacks because of the weather, but that is to be expected, he said. “It’s a lot of work,” Hipskind said. “But it’s fun and it’s worth it.”

Matthew lays down a bunt for the Cubs during the first inning of the White Sox-Cubs Challenger League game on Saturday, June 18.

The White Sox and the Cubs are the only two teams in the Division this year. Scheduled for six games, Challenger Division games are played at the Dr. Harold “Doc” Pfeifer Diamond in the lower level of Wabash City Park. However, for the purposes of the “Crosstown Classic” featuring Chicago’s two teams, three games will be played at “Old Comiskey Park” and three will be played at “Wrigley Field.” At the end of each game the Sox or Cubs fight songs will be played, depending on which “ball park” the game is played. The White Sox team is made up of residents of Vernon Manor Children’s Home, while the Cubs are made up of children from around the community. Hipskind thinks there are a couple

reasons why enrollment in the Division is down this year. “One, I’m not sure if the word got out or not,” he said. “And, two, I think last year the games were played in the afternoon and we had extreme heat issues last year. “I tried to change that up last year by moving them to the morning to fend off some of that heat. And we also have a couple of night games on tap.” Morning games are played at 9:30 a.m., and night games will begin at 7:30 p.m. The next night game is scheduled for Wednesday, June 22. The rules to the game are simple. All players from each team get to bat in each of the two innings. The last batter clears the bases and scores a run themselves. No outs are recorded and no

scores are kept. A batter has four attempts to hit a pitched ball. After that, he or she is allowed to hit of a batting tee. Hipskind’s son, Matthew, is a member of the Cubs. He believes that the Challenger Division helps the players fit in with their friends. “He’s got buddies in school and he goes out and sees them play, knowing that he can’t,” Hipskind said. “Well, now he can. He can talk to those kids, ‘Yeah, I played shortstop,’ or ‘Yeah, I got a hit.’ “This is America’s pastime, baseball, and they get to participate in it. It’s very, very rewarding from my point of view.” Each player has a person to assist them at the plate and in the field. Hipskind said the baseball and softball teams from Wabash, Northfield

and Southwood high schools have been invited to serve as helpers for the players. “Last week we had the Wabash High School baseball team showed up,” he said. “This week we have a mixture of Wabash’s softball

team and some Northfield softball players are going to help out. “This is our second game and we’ve had a great showing from our high school athletes. I think this is very rewarding for them as well.” The season will

wrap up on Saturday, July 9, with a double header beginning at 9 a.m. “The only thing I can say is if you love baseball, then you need to come down here because this is what baseball is all about,” Hipskind said.

Wabash man pleads guilty to dealing methamphetamine charge By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A Wabash man was sentenced Monday, June 13, to more than a decade in the Indiana Department of Corrections for dealing in methamphetamine. Timothy D. Thrailkill, 44, pleaded guilty to the felony charge on April 25 and sentenced Monday to 15 years in the IDOC with three years suspended with probation. Thrailkill was originally arrested in April 2015 in connection with an alleged narcotics lab at his residence on Calhoun Street. On April 17, 2015, the

TIMOTHY D. THRAILKILL Wabash Police Department and Wabash Drug Task Force executed a search warrant on Thrailkill’s property, according to the probable cause affidavit. Thrailkill was located in the property’s garage when officers apprehended him, the court documents continued. During a search of the garage, several items associated with manufacturing methamphetamine were located, according

to a probable cause affidavit filed by now retired Wabash Police Sgt. Matt Rebholz. The items included Coleman Fuel, numerous coffee filters contaminated with a suspect residue, a grinder, a white-beaded substance consistent in the appearance of ammonium nitrate, funnels and several hypodermic needles, the officer continued. “I occasionally detected the odor of hydrochloric acid,” Rebholz said. “Hydrochloric acid gas is used to turn methamphetamine into a solid while it is suspended in the organic solvent in liquid form.” A methamphetamine disposal team cleaned up the alleged narcotics lab.

Medical condition blamed for accident that injured 3 By The Paper staff

An apparent medical condition is being blamed for a two-vehicle accident Thursday night that left three people injured. According to a news release from Sgt. Matt Benson, Wabash Police Department Public Information Officer, the crash took place at 7:16 p.m. on North Cass Street, about 200 feet south of the Alber Street intersection. According to police, a 2004 Buick driven by Jack E. Middleton, 80, North Manchester, was traveling northbound when it crossed the centerline and hit a 2006 Chevrolet driven by Isabella McHaney, 20, Wabash. Wabash County Sheriff ’s Deputy Sgt. Tyler Guenin and a witness who is a nurse began administering life-saving measures to Middleton until the Wabash City Fire Department paramedics arrived. Middleton was taken by medical helicopter to a Fort Wayne hospital. McHaney and her 2year-old child were

A medical condition is believed to have been the cause of a two-car accident Thursday that left three people injured, including one who had to be flown to a Fort Wayne hospital for treatment. Photo by Joseph Slacian taken by WFD ambulance to Parkview Wabash Hospital for treatment. McHaney later wrote on The Paper of Wabash County’s Facebook page: “Thank you all for your positive comments. We’re resting and loving on our babies. But, I will take this opportunity to say that my girls left this scene untouched for the most part. Gabriella didn’t have one single scratch and my oldest only had a few. This is why it is important to strap your babies in correctly and get them in the proper car seat. Check with the local car seat tech if you have any concerns. This can happen in

the blink of an eye. We were just heading home from the store to fix dinner and go for a walk.” Police estimated damage to the two vehicles at between $10,001 and $25,000. Assisting at scene were Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, Wabash City Fire Department, and Wabash County EMA.

North Manchester Center for History gains new artifacts By The Paper Staff NORTH MANCHESTER — Two grist mill stones from the mid1800s were recently transported to the North Manchester Center for History to be displayed in a exhibit on early settlers. The two grinding stones come from the grist mill built by Joseph Harter Sr. in 1843, less than 10 years after North Manchester was founded. Grist mills were used to grind wheat into flour and are estimated to weigh more 1,000 pounds each. The North Manchester Center for History thanks Wendt for the assistance in moving these hard-tohandle artifacts. The North Manchester Center for History tells the story of the history of the Eel River Valley. In the past year, about one-third of its exhibits have been updated. In particular, the areas presenting North Manchester’s prehistoric past and early settlers are being completely redesigned.

Defenders return to Clean Out the Banks By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash River Defenders return July 30 to Clean Out the Banks to restore and remove debris from the Wabash River that runs through Wabash County. “We’re going to run it just like we have in the past,” founder Michael Beauchamp told The Paper of Wabash County. The Defenders will kick off the clean up at 8 a.m. at Paradise Spring Historical Park with coffee, donuts and a brief instructional meeting. Wabash River Defenders (WRD) is a watershed initiative, which was originally formed in 2011 by a group of self-proclaimed “river rat” volunteers, according to the WRD website. The Defenders envision a healthy, cleaner Wabash River as well as a time when all watershed residents possess a basic understanding and appreciation for their local waterways. Beauchamp said that the WRD volunteer board surveyed the 19mile stretch of river that flows through the county and prioritized

hot spots for Defenders to tackle during the event. “We prioritized different areas so, if we don’t have enough teams, those areas will at least be addressed,” he said. “If we have enough teams, we’ll do it all.” Debris has been marked with ribbon and large items have been provided GPS coordinates for removal. Northside Wrecker Service will be providing pickup service for the large items throughout the event.

Once all the debris and trash is collected, Defenders will report to the drop-off location at the Paradise Spring parking lot near Huntington Street bridge with the help of the Street Department and the Parks Department, according to Beauchamp.

A North Manchester man was convicted for a 2011 burglary following a two-day jury trial at Wabash Circuit Court on June 14 and 15. Joshua Wright, 25, was found guilty of felony burglary and felony theft. Wright is also connected to a 2015 shooting in rural North Manchester. According to a press release from Wabash County Prosecutor William Hartley Jr.: The allegations against Wright stemmed from the May 8, 2011, burglary

at Manchester Intermediate School in Laketon. The allegations in the case were that, during the early morning hours on May 8, Wright broke a window and entered the intermediate school and stole a laptop computer from a classroom. During the course of the burglary, he apparently cut himself and left behind a flashlight with blood on it. A portion of the blood from the flashlight was sent to the Indiana State Police Laboratory for DNA testing. Since authori-

ties did not have a suspect at the time for comparison purposes, the initial results came back to an unknown male. Approximately four years later, law enforcement received an investigative tip that led them to Wright. After obtaining a search warrant, Wright’s DNA was submitted for comparison to the blood found on the flashlight and the results of that testing tied Wright to the burglary. The case was investigated by the Wabash County Sheriff ’s

JOSHUA WRIGHT Department and the Indiana State Police. Hartley represented the State of Indiana and the defendant was represented by Attorney Craig Persinger from Marion.
