Funds sought for new riverfront development By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A new development along the Wabash River Trail could be possible, if organizers are able to raise $50,000 by the end of the year. Officials of the Wabash Marketplace Design Committee announced plans for the development on Thursday, Nov. 17. Plans call for the creation of a riverfront plaza featuring two gazebos, seating and landscaping. There also will be a deck that overlooks the river. The $50,000 is needed to serve as matching funds for an Indiana Housing and Community Development Agency (IHCDA) grant program called “CreatINg Places.” The local project was selected as the first grant recipients. As of Monday morning, Nov. 21, $10,600 has been raised, project officials said. “We are so excited to learn that the IHCDA picked our project as its inaugural grant,” committee member Andrea Zwiebel said. “The project will beautify a very visible gateway to the city, and will add another destination for Wabashians and out-of-towners to visit.” (continued on page 14)

Families have special ways to cook turkey By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Thanksgiving is a time for loved ones to gather and show thanks, but it’s also the time for turkey connoisseurs to pull out their best secret recipes and show off their talents at the Thanksgiving Day feast. Kami Ross’s kindergarten class at Metro North Elementary School is full of youth well versed in the art of cooking turkey. To help their neighbors this holiday season, the kindergarteners provided The Paper of Wabash County with their families’ secret turkey recipes.

“Grilled Turkey” - Aden Combs Secret ingredient: Pumpkin seeds Go to Save-A-Lot to buy a turkey. It costs $10,000. Take it home and heat up the grill. I don’t like it in the oven. It’s too big for the oven anyways. I like to put pumpkin seeds on it. It needs to cook about 100 minutes. Grandma, Papa, Sam, Mom and I like to eat together. “10-Minute Turkey” - Audrey Bryant Secret instruction: Use a microwave (continued on page 21)

NM fire under investigation By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — An early morning fire Saturday, Nov. 19, in downtown North Manchester is still under investigation. Residents of an apartment complex in the 200 block of E. Main St. awoke to firemen pounding on their doors before 5 a.m. Saturday. The residents were evacuated from their apartments as seven fire departments worked to contain a blaze that began at 216 E. Main St. According to a press release from the North Manchester Fire Department, the North Manchester Dispatch Center received a call at 4:40 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 19 reporting a fire at 216 E. Main St., the former location of The Brewhouse. NMFD units found smoke and fire coming from the rear of the building upon their arrival. The fire spread to the second story of 218 E. Main St., destroying the empty apartment there. Heat and smoke damaged the second story of 222 E. Main St., an occupied apartment, making it unlivable. Fire units were on the scene until 1:45 p.m. Saturday. Duke Energy was called to cut power to the building during the fire, leaving several nearby residents without power for a short time. “This is the worst one we’ve had downtown for many, many years,” NMFD Chief Cam Kissinger said. He recalled a 2004 one-room fire on Walnut Street and a 2000 apartment fire above High 5 Sports at 112 E. Main Street as being the most recent major fires in the town’s history.

Firefighters look at the damage to the rear ofthe building at 216 E. Main St. No one was injured in the early morning fire. Photo by David Fenker Kissinger said that one apartment with residents was lost, as well as two empty apartments in Saturday’s blaze. The North Manchester office of Tiede Metz and Downs, P.C., home to attorney Al Schlitt, was one of the businesses damaged in the fire. Schlitt said that a skylight above his secretary’s office broke, allowing water and some embers to fall in. He said that most of the damage is water-related, with only a few scorch marks from the falling embers. The office space will be unusable until repairs are made. “We’ll have to find another location, temporarily, but I don’t know where that will be or when,” he said.

The Community Foundation of Wabash County’s North Manchester office, as well as the office of the accounting firm Terrill and Company, also received extensive water damage. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined. “Until we can determine something, it’s under investigation,” Kissinger said. According to Kissinger, Indiana State Fire Marshall Jim Greeson is participating in the investigation. “We’re waiting to hear back from the insurance adjusters so we can all get together and figure this out,” Kissinger said.

p.m. at North Miami High School in Denver. Ryley is an active senior at North Miami High School, within the top ten students in her class and involved in cheerleading. She receives blood and platelet transfusions on a continual basis as part of her treatment for Ewing’s sarcoma, a form of cancer. She will need more transfusions as her treatment continues. The Working family hopes North Miami High School and the Denver community will give in her honor. “We would love to see Ryley’s peers

donate in honor of her,” said Libby Working, Ryley’s mother. “This community has supported her throughout her journey and we’d like to see many donate blood to support those battling cancer.” “Hosting this blood drive in her name is a wonderful way to honor Ryley and help patients in need,” said Toni Fox, account manager for the Red Cross Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region. Every two seconds in the United States blood and platelets are needed to respond to patient emergencies, including acci-

dent and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease. The Red Cross must collect approximately 14,000 blood and platelet donations every day for the patients at about 2,600 hospitals and transfusion centers nationwide. To donate, download the American

Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in

most states (16 with p a r e n t a l consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

The excitement was building in downtown Friday evening, as people were anticipating the annual lighting of the Christmas lights atop the Wabash County Courthouse. The skies were lit, but it was courtesy of Mother Nature. Thunderstor ms rolled in about 45

minutes before the start of the lighting ceremony, causing officials to cancel the ceremony. It also slowed the annual Holiday Night to Remember celebration in the downtown area. “The weather, you can’t predict that,” Wabash Marketplace Program Director Tyler Karst said. “It was a good turnout tonight with all the window displays and all the businesses

MCS considers marketing director, consolidation By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com The creation of a new marketing, communications and information director was a topic of contention at the November meeting of the Manchester Community Schools Board of School Trustees. “One of the things the board has asked me to do is to improve the marketing, communication and data management in M C S , ” Superintendent Dr. Bill Reichhart said. He said that he conducted research and came up with a position that would handle responsibilities in those areas. The director would be responsible for marketing the district

in order to attract more transfer students, who bring up to $6,000 in tuition funds. They would also handle a variety of data entry responsibilities to reduce the strain on the administrators, teachers and secretaries who are currently involved in that area. Board members initially resisted the proposition, voicing concerns over the cost and potential impact as well as the breadth of the position. “My biggest concern is that it is not a direct benefit to the classroom,” board member Brady Burgess said. Burgess and Brian Schilling questioned the position most. Reichhart and MCS Business Manager Scott Bumgardner

fielded each question, explaining the reasoning behind the large variety of duties and the proposed salary of $45,000 to $50,000, plus benefits. Bumgardner assured the board that the funds were available, and estimated that 80 percent of the cost would come from the district’s Capital Projects Fund due to the technology-related duties of the position. Schilling motioned to advertise the position, which was

NORTH MANCHESTER — A meeting regarding countywide consolidation is on the agenda for the Dec. 13 meeting of the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools Board of School Trustees. The board heard a letter from Metropolitan School District of Wabash C o u n t y Superintendent Mike Keaffaber at their November meeting. The letter, read by MCS Superintendent Dr. Bill Reichhart, invited Reichhart and the MCS board to meet with Keaffaber and the MSD board to look at options for the possible consolidation of the county”‘s three districts, among other items.

The MCS board discussed the invitation in an executive session after their public meeting Tuesday, Nov. 15. “They certainly put a lot of time and effort into the invitation from MSD. No further action was taken, and it will be on the board”‘s agenda for the Dec. 13 meeting,” Reichhart said. “We looked at the facts and figures last night, and tried decide which things we need to take into account as we make this decision.” Reichhart was unable to comment on where the board stands regarding the issue. “Until we get to that open session, in public, we really don”‘t know what we”‘re going to do,” he said.

MU to launch online PGx master’s degree Program is first and only type in the nation From the MU News Bureau FORT WAYNE – In May, Manchester launched the nation’s first and only dedicated pharmacogenomics master’s degree program. Today, Manchester University President Dave McFadden announced the University is building on that success by adding an online PGx master’s degree. “PGx not only improves patient care dramatically, it revolutionizes the way we

approach medicine. We can be proud that Manchester University is now a national leader in this emerging field,” McFadden said. As you may be aware, pharmacogenomics is the science behind precision medicine. It relates an individual’s genes – their DNA – to their response to medication. PGx can optimize an individual’s drug therapy, greatly decreasing medication costs and side effects. The online program lasts two years and offers two tracks: bench research and clinical. The research track is designed for

current laboratory technicians or those who already have a bachelor’s degree in a science field. The clinical track is designed for health care providers such as physicians, pharmacists and genetic counselors who can put PGx training to use in their field. The traditional brick-and-mortar program at Manchester’s Fort Wayne, Ind., campus is designed primarily for those with an undergraduate science degree, offering a oneyear, intensive path to a master’s degree. In all of the options, students will get personized attention, and classes will remain small as the programs grow. The University is now taking applications for the online and traditional programs. Classes begin in May. Diane Calinski, Ph.D., assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences, is the chair of t h e Phar maco g enomics Council. She was instrumental in establishing the traditional and online program. She said online PGx gives students the option of earning the degree where they live and to continue working. “Our clinical online Masters in PGx will prepare clinicians and health care providers to seamlessly implement PGx into patient care, while students enrolled in our research online master’s in PGx will receive the same superior training that our traditional program offers,” Calinski said. Tuition for online PGx students will be comparable to the traditional program, about $32,000, plus $2,800 a year in program fees. In the twoyear program, those costs will be spread out over two years. For more details, go to: www.manchester.edu/ pgx. “I’d like to thank Diane Calinski, assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences, who is leading the development of online program. Thank you also to Dave Kisor, chair of pharmaceutical sciences and director of the PGx program, and Raylene Rospond, vice president and dean of the College of Pharmacy, Natural and Health Sciences,” McFadden said.

NM Chamber seeks new executive director By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — The North Manchester Chamber of Commerce is in the process of hiring a new executive director. The Chamber’s Board of Directors announced that previous executive director Laura Rager no longer held the position via an email to Chamber members Tuesday, Nov. 15. The email stated that Rager’s time in the position ended on Oct. 18, and that Anne Myers will fill the executive director’s role as an interim director until such time as a replacement is hired. Rager declined to comment on the transition. “We would love to have somebody hired

by the end of the year, but I also want to make sure we take our time and get a good candidate for the position” Chamber Executive Committee Chair Elizabeth Smith said. She said that the committee is currently working on revising the job description for the executive director’s position, and does not yet know when applications will be available. “During this transition period, it is our priority to find the best individual to lead, while still maintaining a stable and effective organization,” the email said. Myers comes highly qualified for the position. She currently serves as manager of the Town Life Center, a position she began while president of the Parks

Board and interim director of the Parks Department, which was during the closure of the pool. Before that, she worked as Director of Fundraising and Public Relations at Timbercrest Senior Living Community for 20 years. “I know the town fairly well, and when I heard that they needed an interim director I offered to do it on a temporary basis,” she said. In the email, the Board also asked that members assist in the search by identifying potential candidates. The email also hinted at the possibility of the Chamber’s operating model coming under review during the transition process. “We’re in a transition period right now, so we’re taking a look at what the Chamber

has been doing recently and trying to focus on benefitting our members,” Smith said. “What we have been talking about is being more member-

ship-focused, and how we can help our members be successful.” Rager served as executive director for more than three years.

Eight communities around the United States were named semi-finalists in the Deluxe Corp.’s 2017 Small Business Revolution. The eight were selected from more than 14,000 entries, Amanda Brinkman, chief brand and communications officer for Deluxe, a n n o u n c e d Wednesday in a video. Teams from Deluxe will spend the next two months visiting the communities – Marietta, Ohio, Woodland Park, Co., Georgetown, S.C., Frostburg, Md., Red Wing, Minn., North Adams, Mass., and Kingsburg, Calif. – to narrow the field down to between four and six finalists, Brinkman said. The finalists will be announced on Feb. 9, 2017, with voting to last one week. Wabash won the 2016 Small Business Revolution, being chosen over Silverton, Ore., by more than 10,000 votes. Teams from Deluxe then chose six small businesses in Wabash to offer business tips and other ideas to help them improve. The result of the Small Business Revolution could be seen in an eight-part Internet video series that premiered in late summer. Local officials said they several commu-

Photo by Joseph Slacian nities interested in participating in the 2017 contest contacted them. “We have had calls, but those coming into our office have been fielded by either Tyler Karst or Matt Haynes,” Steve Downs, Wabash Marketplace Inc. executive director, said. Karst is WMI’s project coordinator and Haynes is owner of Filament Tattoo, one of the six businesses helped by the Small Business Revolution. Karst said he would tell communities two key things. “Let the whole community know what is going on to keep the momentum going and spread the word via all ways of media,” he said. “Let them know to be themselves with Deluxe Corp., and they will see their dedication to their business, community and the passion they

have.” Haynes said he has heard from several communities, but as of yet, none of the finalists. “At the very least I expect to hear from someone from Woodland Park, Colorado, since my parents live there and their friends were very active in voting for Wabash when we were contestants,” he said. Haynes and some of the other featured business owners put together a short series of three videos, which can be found on the Filament Tattoo YouTube page. “Those videos were designed to both help communities get into the short list as well as a tips and tricks video for what to do once you made it onto the short list,” he said. “I would say my largest piece of advice is to make sure

that your community can show that you already have forward momentum and that winning SBR would not just give your community a bump but would truly be able to cause a revolution in the hearts and minds and economy of your town.” Downs said he would encourage the communities to put their best foot forward. “But be yourselves,” he said. “Don’t put on airs. Deluxe will see through any phoniness.” He also urged the communities to focus directly on their small businesses. “Their stories will have the most impact,” he said. He also recommended organizing voting efforts, so when voting starts, the communities get off to a good start.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who voted and supported me for the Wabash County Council seat at Large. I will do everything I can to look after the interests of all those in Wabash County. Randy Curless Paid for by Randy Curless.

Thanksgiving meals cost less this year, survey shows

PETS OF THE WEEK Available For Adoption At The Wabash County Animal Shelter: 810 Manchester Ave. â&#x20AC;˘ 260-563-3511 Sun & Mon: Closed â&#x20AC;˘ Tue & Thur: 11am - 7pm â&#x20AC;˘ Wed & Fri: 11am - 5pm â&#x20AC;˘ Sat: 9am - Noon

From the Indiana Farm Bureau Hoosiers will pay significantly less for their Thanksgiving meal this year, according to Indiana Farm Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a n n u a l Thanksgiving market basket survey. The average the cost for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner as recorded by INFBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey is at its lowest level since 2010. The survey showed an average price of $46.81 for the meal, which includes a 16pound turkey, the ingredients for stuffing and pumpkin pie, and other components of a traditional holiday feast. This is $3.52 lower than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $4.24 lower than the all-time high price, which was recorded in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and represents a decrease of around 7 percent. Nearly all of the 12 items on the holiday shopping list declined in cost, but the main factor in the overall price decline was turkey, which dropped by 16 cents per pound or $2.36 for a 16-pound turkey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a consumer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to see lower prices,â&#x20AC;? said Isabella Chism, Indiana Farm Bureau second vice president, who farms with her family in Howard County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a farmer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m honored to help produce the food for family Thanksgiving celebrations.â&#x20AC;? One important reason for the decline in turkey prices, noted Dr. John Newton, director of market intelligence for the American Farm Bureau Federation, is that turkey production is up about 8 percent this year, rebounding from the 2015 Avian flu crisis in the Midwest. INFBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey is part of a national survey coordinated by the American Farm Bureau. A total of 148 volunteer shoppers (including 16 from Indiana) in 40 states participated. The shopping list includes turkey, bread stuffing, sweet

potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a relish tray of carrots and celery, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and both coffee and milk, all in quantities sufficient to serve a family of 10 and leave plenty for leftovers. Farm Bureau volunteer shoppers are asked to look for the best possible prices, without taking advantage of special p r o m o t i o n a l coupons or purchase deals. The national survey also showed a decrease but that decrease was considerably lower than on the Indiana survey. The total for the AFBF survey was

$49.87, down 24 cents from 2015. Aside from turkey, two other items that decreased in price on the Indiana survey were milk, down 50 cents/gallon to $2.19, and whipping cream (Â˝ pint), down 7 cents to $1.88. The decreases in both milk and whipping cream can be attributed to a significant drop in the prices dairy farmers receive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Milk prices are at their lowest level since 2009,â&#x20AC;? Newton said. The only item that increased significantly in price on the Indiana survey was a 16-ounce bag of frozen peas, which rose by 57 cents to $1.64.

The American Farm Bureau has been coordinating this survey since 1986, and INFB has been participating since at least 1993. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you look at inflation, it (the cost of the meal) is actually cheaper today than it was when we first started doing this survey in 1986,â&#x20AC;? Newton added.

Article provided Wabash County Christmas Spirit is in need of donations. Each year, the program fills thousands of Christmas lists for local families in need of holiday assistance. In 2015, the Wabash County Christmas Spirit delivered presents to nearly 1,200 children and served 425 families, but it would not have been possible without generous donations from individuals throughout the community.

ANNUAL MEETING NOTICE

To Members of the Wabash County Fair Association

November 23, 2016

This year, the program committee is once again asking the community to open its heart and help their neighbors this holiday season. As of Monday, Nov. 14, 729 children registered to receive assistance this Christmas, but more are expected to sign up until the program’s deadline on Sunday, Nov. 27. Before the deadline, the program is in need of toy, clothing and monetary donations to fill lists, especially ages 13-17 which is the hardest age group to fulfill. The program committee is also asking individuals and groups to donate their

time and volunteer for shopping on Tuesday, Nov. 29, as well as help with gift sorting and boxing. Volunteers will also be needed on delivery day Saturday, Dec. 10, starting at 9 a.m. Families that registered for the pick-up option will be able to pick up their gifts on Friday, Dec. 9, from 4-8 p.m. To make a monetary donation, checks can be dropped off at First Farmers Bank & Trust in Wabash or sent to Wabash County Christmas Spirit at P.O.

President Caray? VP Zobrist? Variety of candidates receive write-in votes By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Imagine, President Snoop Dogg. How about President Harry Caray and Vice President Ben Zobrist? What about Sen. Batman? Those are just some of the candidates to receive write-in votes from Wabash County residents during the Nov. 8 General Election. Wabash County Clerk Elaine Martin provided The Paper of Wabash County a list showing the various write-in candidates. In all, there were 135 write-in votes for president and vice president. For governor, there were three writeins, and four for the U.S. Senate race. The race for U.S. House of Representatives saw two write-ins. Several of the presidential write-in votes were for third-party candidates not on the Indiana ballot. Jill Stein, the Green Party’s candidate, received the most votes among the third party candidates, 39. Darrell L. Castle, the Constitution Party’s candidate, received six votes, while Tom Hoefling, chairman of the American Party, received two votes. Evan McMullin, a former CIO operative officer who was running as an independent candidate, received 25 votes. Of those, 21 were for him, while three were for him and VP candidate Nathan Johnson, and the final was for him and VP candidate Mindy Finn. Several of the former presidential can-

didates also received write-in votes. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who challenged Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, received 20 write-in votes. Republican challengers Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz and Ben Carson all received votes. Former GOP nominees John McCain and Mitt Romney each received one vote. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who is President-elect Donald Trumps’ vice president candidate, garnered two votes for president. From a celebrity standpoint, rapper Snoop Dogg received a vote, as did CNN commentator Anderson Cooper, and Morgan Freeman received votes. From the sports world, the Chicago Cubs late announcer Harry Caray received a vote with his vice presidential candidate, Chicago Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist. Locally, Rollin McCoart received a write-in vote for both president and governor, while Hugh “Duke” Waymire II and his wife, Jennifer Waymire, each received votes. Jesus Christ received two votes. None of the above also received one vote for president. Among those receiving votes for senator was the Caped Crusader, Batman, while serial killer Ted Bundy received a vote for U.S. House of Representatives from Indiana’s second district. Voters can put their pens and pencils away, as there is no election in 2017. The next vote will be the Primary Election on May 8, 2017.

Salvation Army seeks bell ringers By The Paper staff Salvation Army of Wabash County will once again be ringing the bells between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Activities will take place at both doors of Walmart, as well as at Kroger in Wabash, and at New Market in North Manchester. All money raised

will be used in 2017 to help Wabash County families who are up for disconnect on utilities, eviction for back rent, prescriptions, gasoline and hotel stay due to fire or other disaster. In 2016, the organization has helped 100 families. Volunteers may sign up to ring the bell by going to

registertoring.com or by calling Deborah, 260563-8970, for Wabash, or Susie, 715-965-7511, for North Manchester. Any church or organization may sign up for a whole day or half day and will be credited for money raised during that time. Individuals also are needed. The Wabash Area Ministerial Association is a United Fund agency.

City OKs PaperWorks abatement By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

P a p e r Wo rk s Industries received a 10-year tax abatement on Monday, Nov. 14, by the Wabash City Council. The personal property abatement is for an investment of more than $7.1 million for new equipment. Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, and PaperWorks General Manager Chris Wetherford discussed the need for the abatement with the Council. The firm, which has been in Wabash since 1890, produces 154

thousand tons of recycled paperboard per year, and it has customers from as far south as Mexico and as far north as Montreal, Canada, Wetherford said. “One of the benefits for our business is that most of our employees are from Wabash, so the salaries that they earn they put right back into Wabash, which of course helps all our families and friends maintain the lifestyle that we do today,” he continued. Over the past several months PaperWorks has received an upgrade, Wetherford said. “This upgrade has allowed us to enter into other markets within the industry,”

he said. “By doing so that keeps us competitive so, of course, we can keep the employees we have and potentially more employees in the future.” There are 193 people employed at the mill with total salaries of around $13 million before benefits, he said. “So it’s quite a contribution that the employees take back and put into businesses,” he added. City Council member Mitch Figert said that the $7 million investment in the local plant shows the corporation wants to remain in Wabash. “I think we should do everything we can to work with them,” he said.

Funds sought for new riverfront development...continued from the front page

The development would be on the northern bank of the river, near the Wabash Street bridge. In addition to the development, a new business could be opening up at the site as well. Committee member Jordan Tandy said Wabash businessman Ben Gebhart is considering opening an outfitter store in a now-vacant building owned by the city that is at the site. “The city owns a storage building and a small parking lot in the area, and we realize it would be an ideal spot for a seasonal outfitter,” Tandy said. “It would be a place that could rent bicycles, canoes, kayaks and sell all the accessories and things that go along with those kinds of activities. “We reached out to the mayor about the possibility of that building being used as that kind of business, and he was very supportive of the idea.” Gebhart said WMI officials approached him about the business. “It was never really about the opportunity to open a shop, but more about the opportunity to be a part of the riverfront development project,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. The store, he said, would rent canoes, he said, but in addition it also would have bicycles and bicycle accessories available. “We also hope to have a small menu so

Photos provided people have the luxury to enjoy a drink or meal outside on the river,” Gebhart continued. “Yoga classes or other outside related activities might also be a part of our services.” As far as future growth, he said, “if anything presents itself or any recommendations are given that are related to the shop or river development we would look at providing it.” Tandy told The Paper of Wabash County that he believes the Wabash River “has a lot of untapped potential.” “The late Mayor Robert R. McCallen Jr., took a great first step in developing the Riverwalk, and we see this project as building off what he was able to accomplish,” he continued. “It’s going to attract visitors and activity and hopefully help to generate business for downtown merchants. “It will also beautify a very visible gateway to the city, and it will provide a destination for people to

gather, relax and enjoy a nice view of the Wabash River.” WMI Project Coordinator Tyler Karst believes the work of the Wabash River Defenders to clean up the river, as well as efforts to create a bicycle trail along the river are signs of “many great things going on with the river.” “And of course the Riverwalk is a great asset to the city,” he continued. “But our group thought there was still some untapped potential in the area around the Wabash River, and we started brainstorming ways to connect it to the downtown area.” Safety is generally a concern with such projects, and Tandy said that issue has been addressed. “As part of the project, we’ll be adding significant lighting throughout the area,” he said. “The outfitter store may also install security cameras.” To help raise funds, IHDCA has partnered with Patroncity, a

crowdfunding company that is providing its expertise in raising funds, Tandy said. “We’ve come up with some fun and creative ways to recognize our donors, which will hopefully encourage people to get involved,” he said. Donors will be classified into various categories, and each donation carries with it several extra benefits, he noted. For example, those who donate between $1 and $100 will be called “Dinghy Dwellers” and will receive an entry into the contest to name the plaza. Other designations are: — “Paddle Boarder” for those who give $100 to $250. — “Canoe Captain” for those who give $250 to $500. — “Shipmaster,” for those donating $500 to $1,000. — “King of the Kayak” for those who donate $1,000 to $5,000. — “Yacht Livin’” for those donating $5,000 to $10,000.

— “Riverboat Casino” for those donating more than $10,000. To donate funds, or to see what other benefits the various donation levels have, see www.patroncity.com/ wabashriverfront. If funds are raised,

Hoffman Nursery will install the courtyard, Tandy said. “Brian Hoffman said that their work for the installation is guaranteed for two years,” Hoffman said. “The pavers themselves will also have a warranty.

Depending on which type and brand we select, that warrant could range from anywhere between five and 75 years.” The group must raise the $50,000 by Dec. 31 in order to qualify for the grant.

November 23, 2016

VIEWPOINT Time for giving thanks Dear Editor, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I appoint a day of public Thanksgiving to Almighty God… to ask Him that He would… pour out His Holy Spirit on all ministers of the Gospel; that He would… spread the light of Christian knowledge through the remotest corners of the earth… and that He would establish these United State upon the basis of religion and virtue.” Let us be reminded. Thanksgiving is a time to focus on God and His many blessings. This tradition dates back almost four centuries in America. When the Pilgrims left England in 1620, they braved the harsh elements of a storm-tossed ocean for almost two months. When they landed at Plymouth Rock, they held

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR a prayer service and built shelters. Unprepared for a harsh New England winter, food was rationed to five kernels of corn per person per day. Nearly half died. Persevering in prayer and helped by friendly natives, they reaped a bountiful harvest the following year. The grateful Pilgrims then declared a three-day feast in December 1621, to thank God and to celebrate with their Indian friends. This began an annual tradition. As we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday this year, do we remember to retain the original gratefulness to God that has always been the spirit of this oldest of all American holidays?

We should ask ourselves, “Where do I stand on the issue of acknowledging God in my life?” For what – and more importantly, to Whom – are you grateful? As Washington proclaimed, do you “acknowledge the providence of Almighty God”? Have we forgotten, to paraphrase Lincoln, “the Source from which our blessings have come”? Do we “pray to God through the merits of Jesus Christ to forgive our sins”? (Continental Congress, 1777) Believing in God - even thanking Him - is one thing, but we must also take the next step… to know Him. Jesus said, “And this is the way to have eternal life—to

know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the One You sent to earth.” (John 17:3) “I appoint a day of public thanksgiving and praise… to render to God the tribute of praise for His unmerited goodness towards us by giving to us the Holy Scriptures which are able to enlighten and make us wise to eternal salvation… And to pray that He would forgive our sins and … cause the religion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to be known, understood, and practiced among all the people of the earth.” (John Hancock) Happy Thanksgiving, — Pastor Tim Morbitzer, Victory Christian Fellowship, North Manchester

CROP walkers deserve praise Dear Editor: Thank you to all the walkers, Churches, donors, youth groups, MU Soccer Team, CROP supporters and helpers who came together to make this year’s Wabash County CROP Walk at The Firehouse in Downtown North Manchester a day to remember walking to end hunger. Treasure James Shively reports a total of $5797.03 was raised and given through 6 groups. The Breakdown is a follows: Manchester Church of the

Brethren, 16 walkers, $3,005. Eel River Church of the Brethren, 11 Walkers, $1,140. Manchester University Soccer, four walkers, $784.03 Liberty Mills Church of the Brethren, five walkers, $345. South Pleasant United Methodist, six walkers, $314. Congregational Christian Church, three walkers, $209.00 Total: 45-plus walkers, $5,797.03 Of the $5,797.03, 25 per-

cent, or $1449.30, stays right here in Wabash County and benefits the North Manchester Fellowship of Churches Food Pantry and the food pantry located at Living Well in Wabash County. The remainder is used to fund Church World Service Feeding and Farming programs the world over. The 2017 Wabash County CROP Walk will be on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2017. In a spirit of Ecumenism we

hope that even more churches will join us to “Walk Because They Walk” remembering that “Jesus Walked” to meet people and their needs, to help them become self-sufficient, and to unite as the body of Christ. Thanks again and Blessings to all. -- Pastor JP Freeman of the North Manchester Indiana Congregational Christian Church and Acting Chairperson of Wabash County CROP Walk.

Families have special ways to cook turkey ...continued from the front page My mom goes to the store to buy the turkey. Walmart has the best ones. Make sure you pick out the regular one. I think it costs $10. Put it in the microwave for 10 minutes. Make sure to eat it while it’s still warm. “Best Breaded Turkey Sandwich” Bently Smith Secret instruction: Use pancake flipping skills My mom has to buy the turkey at Walmart. I like the breaded turkey the best. My grandma has to get out a pan. She flips the turkey up like a pancake as it cooks. I like it after it cooks for 50 minutes. Then cut it and put it on bread to make a turkey sandwich. It is good. “Forever Cooking Turkey” - Brielle Wells Secret instruction: Use an oven My dad has to go out in the woods to hunt for a turkey. He uses a gun to kill it. He has to get all of the nasty stuff off of it so we can cook it. My mom cooks it in the oven. It takes forever! My grandma comes over to eat with us. “Farm Fresh Turkey” - Brooklynn Lester Secret instruction: Cook in oven 10 times We go to the farm to get the turkey. We put it in the refrigerator for a couple of days. My mom cooks it in the oven 10 times. We like to eat it for breakfast. Aunt Jess likes to come

over to our house to eat with us. “Salt and Pepper Turkey” - Bryson Platter Secret instruction: Set oven for 834 degrees We get our turkey at Walmart. We bring it home and cook it in the oven. It has to cook for 81 minutes on 834 degrees or something like that. It tastes better if you put salt and pepper on it before you eat it. If you don’t eat all of it, you will need to put it back in the refrigerator. “Fresh from the Hunt Turkey” Easton McKillip Secret instruction: Best served sans skin My dad shoots a turkey to kill it. He stays outside and slices it with a knife. We don’t eat the skin. We only eat the inside of it. When daddy is done getting the insides out of it, he brings it inside. Mom puts it in the oven for 10 minutes. We put it in the middle of the table until Grandma gets there. Then it’s time to pray and eat. When we are done, we clean up and play. “Turkey Sans Bones” - Ella Weaver Secret instruction: Prepare big pot of water We get our turkey from the store. We cut out all of the bones. Then we cut it into little pieces. My mom and dad put the turkey in a big pot with water. We season it and flip it a few times. It takes about 45 minutes. Then we

It’s lots of fun. “20-Minutes Ready Turkey” Maesyn Jones Secret instruction: Eat immediately after cooking My mom buys a turkey at Walmart. We chop off the turkey’s head when we get it home. Then we cut off the skin and all four legs. We put it in the oven for 20 minutes. Then we take it out of the oven and eat it. “ G r a n d m a Approved Turkey” Hailey Castro Secret instruction: (continued on page 28)

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Cirque Dreams Holidaze launched its national tour with a two-show event at the Honeywell Center Ford Theater starting Sunday night, Nov. 20. The internationally acclaimed production company chose Wabash for its first of many opening nights this holiday season for many reasons, starting with “we’ve been here before,” accord-

ing to Neil Goldberg, Cirque Dreams founder and creative director. “The theater space is beautiful,” Goldberg told The Paper of Wabash County. “The town has been great for us, you know, with all the accommodations and all the logistics that go into what we need to do. Wabash audiences have been really supportive of the Cirque Dreams brand throughout the years. We’ve had several shows here, including Holidaze, but this production has many, many new elements in it. The decision also involved logistics, he continued. Since its inception eight years ago, Holidaze, the company’s winter and holiday themed show, has since grown. “This year, we have three companies touring simultaneously,” Goldberg said. “So over the course of six weeks, we’ll be hitting over 50 cities. The first tour launched last week from

B a r t l e s v i l l e, Oklahoma, and opens tonight (Friday, Nov. 18) in Houston. The second tour launched last night (Nov. 17) in Orlando, Florida. I flew all night long to get back here so I’d be here first thing in the morning and this one launches on Sunday and Monday here. “We’re thrilled to have two performances and, like I said, Wabash audiences have really embraced this.” This year’s show will fascinate both first-time audience members and returning fans with its new line-up of performances, Goldberg continued. “There’s five brand new production numbers and we’re really trying to encompass the entire holiday season,” he said. “So this number … was all about New Years. There’s a whole number about Thanksgiving. There’s a whole number about Hanukkah for the Jewish audiences and a couple other things. “We always boast

over 300 costumes. This year, the show has over 500 costumes. We’ve really elevated it and there’s just something in this show for everyone.” At Cirque Dreams shows, there are no bad seats, he continued. “Most people when they go to the theater, they try to buy seats that are the closest to the stage, because that’s where they think that they’re going to have the best view,” Goldberg said. “Ironically in this show, the further away from the stage you are, the better visual experience you have because there’s so much going on (that) sometimes if you’re really close, you miss some of those little nuances.” Goldberg said he’s grateful to the Wabash community. “I’d love to thank everyone in Wabash for supporting us through the years,” he continued. “We’re here for two nights. This is a great show to put anyone into the season spirit.”

Bus vs. tractor collision results in no injuries By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com LAKETON — No injuries and little damage were reported in an accident Tuesday morning involving a M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools bus and a tractor.

Shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, the bus carrying children and a tractor collided near M a n c h e s t e r Intermediate School in Laketon. According to MCS Business Manager Scott Bumgardner, who was on the scene

with MCS Superintendent Dr. Bill Reichhart shortly after the collision, the bus and tractor were passing each other on Woodring Road when the bus caught on the edge of a piece of equipment pulled by the tractor. “They couldn’t get

over far enough and ran out of room,” Bumgardner said. Minimal damage to the bus resulted from the mishap, but because there were children on board the administration was required to report the accident.

Families have special ways to cook turkey ...continued from the front page

Let Grandma handle it Grandma buys the turkey because she is the one that goes to the store more often. She puts it in the oven for a very short time, otherwise it will get burnt. We like to have A1 sauce with it. My aunts, uncles, cousins and all of my family come to eat it with us.

“Hot Turkey” Jake McColley Secret instruction: Use very hot oven Mom buys the turkey from somewhere at a shop. She cooks it in the oven for a very long time in a very hot oven. We only have the turkey to eat. My grandpa, grandma, mom, dad, Bubby and I eat it.

“$200 Turkey” Kameron Johnson Secret instruction: Give unwanted turkey to Alyssa I think my dad goes to Walmart to buy the

turkey. It costs about $200. Dad brings it home and puts it in the oven. Put the temperature on 45 degrees for 45 minutes. We will take it to Grandma Tammy’s house to eat it. Everyone else eats the turkey, but not me because I don’t like turkey. Alyssa loves turkey though. “Tur-Chicken Dinner” - Kaylee Long Secret ingredient: Serve with chicken legs Mommy gets a turkey from Walmart. She cooks it on the stove but she doesn’t make it very hot. We have chicken legs with it. My grandma, daddy, mommy, two sisters and I eat it. After we are done eating the turkey we go outside and have a fire and make s’mores. “Hand-raised Turkey” Keira

Oswalt Secret ingredient: Real turkey We get the turkey from Big R. It’s a real turkey. Since it’s just a baby, we have to let it grow big first. Then my mom takes it to get butchered for Thanksgiving. The turkey gets cooked on the grill by my dad. After it’s finished, we put it on the table. Grandma, Grandpa, my sister, my brothers, my mom, my dad and my friends all sit around the table. Before we can eat, we say a prayer. Then everyone puts food on their plate and eats. “Tastes like Scrambled Eggs Turkey” - Landyn Enix Secret instruction: Must go outside to find turkey We go outside and look for a turkey. They are usually in the grass. It needs to be dead. I cut it up with a knife. We put it in

the oven for two hours. When it comes out of the oven, you need to blow on it because it’s too hot. When it’s cool enough, we eat it. It tastes like scrambled eggs. “Quick Fix Turkey” - Max Leffel Secret instruction: Cook for five minutes My grandma gets the turkey from the store. She brings it home and cooks it. She puts the turkey in the oven for five minutes on really hot. I like to eat the turkey with ham too. Lots of people like my grandma, grandpa, my mom, dad, my brother and sister and my cousins come to eat with us. We have lots of fun. “ W a r m i s h Turkey” Mary Young Secret instruction: Best served with mashed potatoes and noodles Mom buys the turkey from the grocery store. She cooks it in the oven at

home. It is a little warmish when it is done. We have mashed potatoes and noodles with it. My cousins and Grandma and Grandpa come to eat. We have to do all the dishes when we are done eating. “Turkey for the Whole Family” Millie Dixson Secret instruction: After eating, follow with dessert Daddy and Memme get a turkey from Walmart. Memme cooks it at her house in the oven. My whole family is there when we eat. We have mashed potatoes and green beans with it. We also have dessert, but I eat candy! “Smells-So-Good Turkey” - Tenley Kuhn Secret instruction: Take the whole meal to Grandma’s house Go to Walmart to buy a turkey and other snacks. Then take all of it to G r a n d m a ’ s house. Grandma, my

mom and all of my aunts go help in the kitchen. They are baking the turkey and all of the food. It smells so good. They bake to turkey for 10 minutes on 9 degrees. All of my cousins are watching TV and playing while they make the food. The adults come get us and say it’s time to eat. “ G r a n d p a ’s Favorite Turkey Recipe” Victor Oldaker Secret instruction: Enjoy at Grandpa’s farm I go to Grandpa’s farm to get my turkey. The turkey is already dead when we get there. We have to take off all the stuff we don’t want to eat. We just eat the body part. It gets cooked in the big huge oven at 10 a.m. in the morning. Go look at the chickens while it’s cooking. They should all be alive. When I hear “supper’s done,” I know it’s time to go inside. We wait for it to cool down and start

eating it.

“Ready or Not Turkey” - Wyatt Clark Secret instruction: Best served with donuts Our turkey comes from Walmart. My mom picks out the best one. She gets the one that is actually kind of flavored. It’s in the red package. She pays for the turkey too. I don’t know how much money it costs, but I’d say some dollars. Actually, we save it for later, you know, like spiders save food in their web for later. We put it on the stove for maybe about five minutes. That’s how long it takes to turn red, right? Then we put it on the plate. Be sure to use your fork and knife. Well, my daddy is the only one that is allowed to chop it up with the knife. I love when we get to eat donuts with the turkey!

B. Walter under new ownership By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A longtime Wabash industry is under new ownership. Scott Buehrer told the Wabash City Council that he closed a deal to purchase B. Walter & Co. on Oct. 13. He appeared before the council seeking 10year tax abatements for both real property and personal property. “The tax abatement

requests are related to investments I intend to make in the future here, related to building expansion and equipment acquisition to support intended business growth and increasing our employment,” he told the Council. The company now employs 26 fulltime workers and between five and 10 temporary employees, Buehrer noted. He hopes to increase employment by at least 50 percent over

the next four years. Buehrer plans to invest $1.08 million on the real property and another $1.46 million for new machinery on the personal property side, according to Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County. Along with that, he said, Buehrer plans to add 12 employees. Buehrer also said he plans to move to

Wabash from Toledo, Ohio, and become involved in the community. The Council approved the abatements 7-0. City Council member Mitch Figert called Buehrer’s plans, “a prime example of what we need to happen in some of these smaller businesses.” “B. Walter, while they were doing fine, there was no vision as to how can we expand? What can we do more? With Scott’s background in manufacturing and sales, my hope is that they will have many more local customers, as well as national customers,” he continued. Following the meeting, Buehrer talked with The Paper of Wabash County about his purchase of the business. “I came here to assist Art Jasen, the owner of B. Walter, with some sales advice related to the medical market,” Buehrer said. “I really came to Wabash to be helpful, not really looking to buy a manufacturing company. “But along the way we got to develop a great friendship. I’m a mechanical engineer; Art’s a mechanical engineer. One thing just led to another.” Jasen was contemplating retirement, Buehrer said, adding, “which was something I had not envisioned, and lo and behold, I ended up acquiring the company.” He noted that Jasen will serve as a consultant for the firm for the next year. Buehrer has a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University and an MBA from Duke University. “My manufacturing career actually started in Kendallville, Indiana, as a processing engineer for King-Seely Thermos Co.,” he said. “They made appliance controls. Later I worked in Fremont, Indiana, as a welding department supervisor and a new products manager for that company, which made fabricated metal products and electrical controls.” For 10 years he was in the automotive industry, and for the last 14 years worked in the medical device industry with a firm that had more than 100,000 customers in 57 countries. “I’m very used to growing manufacturing businesses,” Buehrer said. “This is kind of an opportunity to pull it all

together as president.” Buehrer said he’s already started making some improvements at the plant, located at 655 Factory St. “I’ve already started making some improvements to the façade and the building and grounds,” he said. ‘We’re working re-skinning the right hand side of the building. We’ve done some painting on the exterior. We’ve dropped some crushed rock in the employee lock and drive path.” Inside the plant there will be work on the restrooms, he added. “I’ve already adjusted some of the wages to show my commitment, where I thought some people were being underpaid,” Buehrer continued. “So some of these things aren’t so visible.” He said the firm has two great local customers, Owens Corning Thermafiber and Living Essentials. “We’re very blessed to have local customers that are very important and significant to our operation,” he said. “We’re hoping to better serve them.” Buehrer said the firm is looking to develop new customers down the road. “But I want to make sure that all of our current customers are satisfied and that we’re exceeding their expectations,” he said. “We’re making some improvements in our operations to better meet their needs.” He said he has enjoyed his time in Wabash. “I found it a very business-friendly city,” he said, noting that his great-great-grandmother was a Honeywell. “I didn’t even know that this was a Honeywell town until I arrived here,” he continued. “I always knew of Honeywell in St. Paul and Minneapolis, and I always heard the story growing up of how Mr. Honeywell died without any heirs.” Buehrer said a genealogical research shows that his greatgreat-grandmother and Mark Honeywell were distant relatives. “My great-greatgrandmother was related to Mark Honeywell, if you go up a few generations then back down,” Buehrer said. “Obviously he had no children, so we traced the roots in both directions. “That was a kind of a neat thing. I kind of felt like I was coming home.”

City assistant fire chiefs no longer exempt employees By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash City Assistant Fire Chief ’s job description has been updated following the Board of Public Works and Safety meeting on Thursday, Nov. 17. In a 2-0, the board approved the title’s description update from exempt to nonexempt employees after receiving a report from Wabash City Fire Chief Barry Stroup. “The job description prior read that all the assistance fire chiefs were exempt employees,” Stroup said. “They actually do not sit behind a desk all the time. They spend time fighting fires, they spend time running the ambulances and what the exempt status does is it could allow them not be paid overtime when working another shift or doing some of

the other things, covering for classes and things like that, that everyone else would get. It could have been discernable or under my discretion to pay or not pay.” By changing the job description, it’d keep the employees protected from discrimination. “I’d rather it’d be nondiscretionary … and what this does, it cleans up the overtime issue so you can’t discriminate one to the next,” he continued. The new description also adheres to the new U.S. Department of Labor guidelines, according to Randi Zimmerman, Wabash City attorney. “This will bring us in compliance with federal labor laws, correct?” asked Mayor Scott Long. “Correct,” Zimmerman replied.

Wetzel Insurance included in IIABA study By The Paper staff

WARSAW — Wetzel Insurance Agency is part of an elite group of independent insurance agencies around the United States participating in the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) “Best Practices” Study Group. Each year since 1993, IIABA and Reagan Consulting, an Atlantabased management consulting firm, join forces to study the country’s leading agencies in six revenue categories. The agencies comprising the study groups are selected every third year through a comprehensive nomination and qualifying process and awarded a “Best Practices Agency” designation. The selected “Best Practices” agencies retain their status during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review each year. “We set this as a goal every year. As a Best Practices Agency we have to grow by improving the job we do for our customers, improving the quality and capability of our associates, and by maintaining effective insurance carrier partnerships, tools, and resources. We demonstrate a leading

edge. We are honored to be selected,” says Byron Kauffman, Wetzel Insurance Agency, Inc., President. “The wheel starts with good people having access to strong insurance partners and rolls to attract quality customers. We are proud to turn measurably superior results.” More than 1,800 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated to take part in the annual study, but only 254 agencies qualified for the honor. To be chosen, the agency had to be among the top-performing agencies in one of six revenue categories. The agency was nominated by either an IIABA affiliated state association or an insurance company and qualified based on its operational excellence. The Best Practices Study was initiated by IIABA in 1993 as the foundation for efforts to improve agency performance. The annual survey and study of leading independent insurance agencies documents the business practices of the highest performing agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices. Wetzel Insurance Agency, Inc., established in 1928, has offices in North Manchester and Warsaw.

partment has four assistance fire chiefs. In other news, the board accepted demolition bids for four Wabash residences located at 242 W. Main St., 437 N. East St., 523 W. Hill St. and 92 E. Hill St. For the Main Street residence, the board accepted a bid from Hanks Construction and Excavating for $8,500. Two other demolition bids were submitted from Matt Niccum Excavating and Brainard Excavating and Snow Removal that amounted in $9,600 and $8,540 respectively. For the West Hill Street home, the board accepted a $5,400 bid from Brainard. The Niccum and Hanks groups submitted two additional bids for $5,900 and $8,000 respectively. For the East Street residence, the board accepted a $5,700 bid from Niccum while Brainard and Hanks submitted bids for $5,820 and $9,200 respectively.

Finally, for the East Hill Street home, the board accepted a $11,500 bid for Brainard to raze the home after receiving one other bid submission by the Hanks company for $12,500. Long asked John Stephens, Wabash County’s land surveyor, if he had an issue with any of the contractors before accepting the bids. “No and they’ve all worked for us before,” Stephens replied. The board also received an update on a residence, located at 453 E. Main St., owned by Justin Brooks. “On Nov. 10, the city attorney sent a collection letter for mowing to Mr. Brooks,” Long said. “And I’ve heard nothing back from him,” Zimmerman added. She then requested for the board to file a small claim against Brooks. The motion passed unanimously.

Wabash attorney faces criminal charges By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A Wabash attorney is facing felony theft and misdemeanor conversion charges following a Wabash City Police investigation. John Johnston, 79, Wabash, entered a not guilty plea to the charges at Wabash Circuit Court on Friday, Nov. 4. Johnston was never arrested for the charges. The charges stemmed from a report that Johnston had allegedly taken funds from a client without consent, according to the probable cause affidavit. In June, the client reported to Wabash Police that he had hired Johnston to represent him in a lawsuit involving three defendants and, in mid-2014, a settlement was reached for a

total of approximately $45,000 from the defendants, the court documents continued. In January 2015, the client informed officers that Johnston allegedly deposited one of the defendant’s checks, which amounted to $22,145, directly into his own trust account without the client’s knowledge or consent, according to the affidavit. After hiring a new attorney, the client said he learned from the defendant’s lawyers that Johnston allegedly “requested the check for $22,145 … to be issued only in the name Johnston,” the affidavit continued. “I requested a subpoena for the email from Lauren McKenna (the defendant’s attorney) to John Johnston confirming the check was being sent in his name only,” Detective E. John Krhin III said.

“The subpoena was granted and McKenna provided a copy of an email dated Jan. 8, 2015, from her to John Johnston in which she states that her client will send their settlement check directly to him and that the check be made out to Johnston & Johnston, PC, counsel for (the client).” On Oct. 3, Krhin went to Johnston’s office to speak with him on the matter. “I requested he come to the police department at an agreed upon time for a recorded interview with him in reference to a criminal case I was working with … John Johnston as the accused,” Krhin said. “Johnston advised he would prefer just to give me a copy of the letter he had sent to the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Committee in response to a grievance filed against him

by (the client).” As of The Paper of Wabash County’s deadline on Monday, Nov. 21, the D i s c i p l i n a r y Committee has not issue an order or opinion on the grievance filed against Johnston. On Nov. 4, Judge Robert McCallen III recused himself from the case. McCallen also noted that Wabash Superior Court Judge Chris Goff would not accept the jurisdiction. The Wabash County Clerk’s Office appointed Judge Timothy Spahr of Miami Circuit Court to the case. On Monday, Nov. 7, Johnston’s attorney Dan Vanderpool filed a waiver of initial hearing along with the not guilty plea. Spahr assumed jurisdiction on Monday, Nov. 14.

Wabash County’s law enforcement tested their driving skills on Friday, Nov. 18, during the annual Emergency Vehicle Operations training at the Morrett Sports Complex in Wabash. Wabash Police Department officers and the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department sped through a coned-off course to “show them

what they can do behind the wheel as well as what the car can do,” according to Ryan Baker, training coordinator. “Typically, on a normal call, they wouldn’t push themselves to the limit of what they do at driver’s training or, in this case, emergency vehicle training,” Baker told The Paper of Wabash County. “The shape we have it set up in, we have several turns and straight-aways to give these guys a

chance to negotiate turns, brake, gas and that type of thing.” Officers attended the training session throughout the day and ran the course with instructor Matt Shrider, who offered advise to the officers. “Like I said,” Baker said, “the objective of this is to show them what a car can handle when driving it around curves or – and we can’t really do a high rate of speed here (at the course) – at a higher rate of

DAR has November meeting Article provided The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Tuesday, Nov. 8, at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash. The meeting opened with the DAR ritual. Devotion was a poem – “A Soldier,” a veteran’s day poem by an unknown author. The November President General’s message from Ann T. Dillon was shared by Joyce Joy. The DAR museum opened a new exhibit “An Agreeable Tyrant: Fashion after the Revolution.” The annual DAR Christmas Open House will be held Dec. 7. Barbara Amiss gave the National Defender report on WAS Caption Helen Horlacher Evans 1942-1946. With the start of World War II several high school teachers dared each other to apply for the May 1942 created Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps. Though Helen was only the minimum age 21, she was accepted for Officer Candidate School at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. Helen inspected army mess halls in Europe and assisted in feeding prisoners of war in Germany. At age 96 Helen still supports veterans thru recording their oral histories for the Library of Congress and assisting with Honor Flights. Avonne Lee Knecht shared the American Indians Committee minute. The Fall Forum DAR Workshop pre-

sented two new courses as online learning modules. The New Members Course is an opportunity for members to learn more about DAR and how they can become active participants in DAR at all levels. The New Horizons Course is to encourage, educate, and instill confidence in members interested in expanding their horizons and service to DAR through leadership. These are self-guided curriculums structured around a series of on-line webinars that participants can do at their leisure, along with an independent project. State Regent Lois Huntington shared her state project, restoration of Madonna of the Trail statue, located in the Glen Miller Park on U.S. 40 in Richmond. Twelve states have a Madonna memorial statue, from Maryland to California following the National Old Trails highway, commemorating the spirit of the pioneer mothers of the covered wagon days. The Indiana monument was dedicated on Oct. 28, 1928. A special 70-year DAR membership certificate was presented to Gladys Hall, Indianapolis, on a recent visit during Fall Forum. The program was titled “Honor Flight Veterans Honored.” Dr. David Roe, Lagro, presented his story as a guardian and the physician on an earlier flight this year. A guardian is assigned to a veteran to ensure the veteran has a safe, memorable and rewarding experience. Guardians are

there to work and serve heroes, whether it is pushing wheelchairs, lending an ear, taking pictures or handing out water. Ron Shaw, Wabash, a Korean veteran, shared his enthusiastic report of his memorable day in Washington, D.C. He was impressed by how well organized the days events occurred, police escorts, lines of people thanking them for their service all along the way, and the welcome at the airport was breathtaking after a long tiring day.

ISDA hosts trainings for livestock producers From the ISDA News Bureau

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) will hold four trainings this winter for Indiana livestock producers interested in completing the Certified Livestock Producer Program. Since the program

began in 2008, nearly 125 Hoosier livestock producers have earned the certification. “Becoming a Certified Livestock Producer is just another way to show the industry and your community that you go above and beyond in many areas of your operation, such as biosecu-

rity and emergency planning,” said Ted McKinney, ISDA Director. “I highly encourage those interested in the program to attend one of these trainings.” To register for the trainings listed below, an application must be filled out, which can be found at www.in.gov/isda/ 2395.htm, and

returned to Kimmi Devaney at KDevaney@isda.in.g ov or mailed to: One North Capitol, Suite 600, Indianapolis, IN 46204. Each training will start at 10 a.m. and last until 3 p.m. Dec. 14, 2016 in Columbia City (Whitley County) Jan. 28, 2017 in Greensburg (Decatur County)

Feb. 15, 2017 in Monticello (White County) Feb. 21, 2017 in Loogootee (Martin County) As part of the program, producers will develop biosecurity and emergency plans, meet with their local fire department, participate in their industry’s animal well-

being program, such as Beef Quality Assurance and Pork Quality Assurance, as well as complete several additional self-assessments about their farm practices. “Producers who have completed the certification repeatedly cite the emergency planning section and meeting

with their fire department to discuss farm safety as the most beneficial part of the program,” said Kimmi Devaney, ISDA Ag ricultural Marketing and I n d u s t r y D eve l o p m e n t Manager. “Opening these channels of communication before an

tions. New plow equipment Last winter, INDOT’s yellow plow trucks logged nearly 3.8 million miles – the equivalent of 152 trips around the earth or 8 round trips to moon. INDOT will have more than 1,000 plow trucks available to clear roads of snow and ice this winter. INDOT purchased 72 new trucks to replace older equipment and 12 new tow plows – making 22 available for this winter. The tow plow is pulled behind and to the side of a INDOT plow truck, allowing one driver to clear two lanes at once. INDOT recently completed inspections of its snow and ice equipment. Each year, INDOT’s yellow plow trucks undergo a full bumper-to-bumper examination as inspectors look for mechanical defects in need of repair. Special attention is paid to the trucks’ steering, engine and brakes. INDOT mechanics perform any needed repairs before the first snowfall. Hiring, training snowfighters Last year during winter operations, INDOT staff logged 202,168 hours—the equivalent of nearly 17,000 12-hour shifts. Mechanics, salt loaders and radio operators support INDOT’s snowfighters to keep the trucks running around the clock when needed. INDOT has been holding job fairs and aggressively hiring seasonal and full-time workers over the past few months. Applications are still being accepted for some locations at www.in.gov/indot/3163 .htm. Both plow operators and supervisors attend classroom training to learn new technology and techniques. Plow operators are already familiarizing themselves with their snow routes. Operational planning meetings are being completed this month with Indiana State Police and local officials. Preventing potholes INDOT spent the warmer months resurfacing and sealing state highways to prevent water from seeping into the pavement and forming potholes. This year INDOT has repaved 580 miles and sealed more than 1,200 lane miles of interstates, U.S. highways and state routes.
