‘Mary Poppins’ to bring ‘magic’ to the stage of the Honeywell Center

Kirtlan Automotive named 2015 Business of the Year

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

After three months of rehearsals, set building and costume preparation, local actors are ready to take the stage in the Wabash Area Community Theater (WACT) production of “Mary Poppins” Sept. 25-27 at the Honeywell Center Ford Theater. The famous story is set in 1910 and follows the London-based Banks family as parents George and Winifred Banks, played by Eric Reichenbach and Nikki Bailey, lose yet another nanny due to their children’s bad behavior. One morning, a magical nanny named Mary Poppins, played by Swayzee resident Brittany Riner, suddenly arrives at the Banks household and tells the family she is their new nanny, changing their lives forever. In mid-June, Riner told The Paper of Wabash County that it’s been her dream to play the part of Poppins. Now, after weeks of practice and the production nearing, Riner admitted that it can be difficult to portray the character’s “practically perfect and confident” nature. “But it’s fun to go through the process of portraying her,” she continued. Director Sarah Hawkins Moan said the biggest surprise about the production and cast is (continued on page 16)

Wabash resident Karsyn Bratch, 12, and her family met and exceeded their goal of raising $20,000 at the second annual Kick-It with Karsyn on Saturday, Sept. 19. More than 300 Wabash County residents headed to Morrett Field on Saturday, Sept. 19, to support Karsyn’s kickball event and donated funds toward pediatric cancer research through the Jeff Gordon Pediatric Cancer Research Center. Some participated in the event as athletes, scorekeepers and umpires while (continued on page 3)

Kirtlan Automotive is the 2015 Business of the Year, Brian Campbell, Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Board Chair, announced Tuesday. “While we have many worthy businesses in Wabash County, Kirtlan Automotive is a most deserving organization,” Campbell said. “Kirtlan Automotive and the Kirtlan family have supported many local community and charitable causes and events with both time and sponsorships; all while being inundated with rising river issues and nearby construction. The resilience and community spirit of this local family business is something we should all strive to imitate. “I am proud of Steve and Cathy Kirtland and the entire Kirtlan Automotive family of employees and find them very humbled by this award.” Since 1993 Kirtlan Automotive has been serving the automotive needs of Wabash County, and beyond. They appreciate their customers and this close knit community. County residents have brought their cars, vans and trucks of all makes to Kirtlan Automotive, as well as travelers that have automotive break downs on their way through the area. “It’s the fact that we work on all vehicle models that sets us apart,” President Steve Kirtlan said. “Over the years my technicians have gotten very good at knowing a lot about a variety of vehicles. We take pride in that. And believe me we get tested on that almost every day.” Kirtlan Automotive opened on April 1, 1993, at 790 S. Cass St. The shop had three repair bays and two employees. Later that year the firm added two more employees. Through the success of the business, Kirtlan had a new facility built in the year 2000, expanding to 12 repair bays, at the current location of 750 S. Cass St. At the present time, Kirtlan Automotive employs seven full and two part time people with a combined automotive experience of (continued on page 9)

Family spearheads effort to honor police By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A Wabash family, tired of negative publicity police officers around the nation have received in recent months, took it upon themselves to let two local departments know that their service is appreciated. Brandon and Melanie Wahl and their three young children, during Monday night’s Wabash City Council meeting, showed Wabash Police Chief Larry Schnepp and Wabash County Sheriff Bob

Land just how much the community appreciates them and the members of their departments. The Wahls’ young sons, Brayden and Mason, presented Schnepp and Land with oversized cards which simply read, “Thank you. We support you.” The cards were signed by dozens of citizens from around the county. “It just started out a couple of weeks ago with an idea that we had,” Wahl said. “The entire family got together and we designed giant thank you cards, one for the Wabash (continued on page 2)

Kick-It with Karsyn exceeds $20,000 goal ... continued from the front page others visited the fields as audience members. All of the teams gathered donations to play in the day’s games, according to Linette Burchett, Karsyn’s mother. Mrs. Burchett assisted Karsyn with

the first kick in the opening ceremony. Mayoral candidates Scott Long, Margaret “Boo” Salb and Wade Weaver participated in the event’s main competition with teams including Team Ari, Dyes Bar & Grill and Young

Kickers. Salb’s team took home the winning trophy after facing Weaver’s team in the final. At noon, national Kick-It organizer and local game organizer Larry Graff announced that KickIt with Karsyn donat-

ed funds exceeded $20,000, “but it’s probably closer to $25,000,” he told The Paper of Wabash County in a following interview. “We put $40,000 on the check and that includes Jeff Gordon’s matching

Martin Yale purchases California firm By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Martin Yale Industries has purchased Court Machinery Co., of Escondido, Calif. “The Count acquisition is a perfect strategic fit for Martin Yale, from both a brand and product perspective,” Martin Yale President Greg German said. “Their existing lineup of machines adds depth to our portfolio of print finishing products and allows us entree into the high speed perforating, scoring, and creasing markets. “The Count brand name is highly recognized and its

machines are well known for their quality and reliability”. To help with the purchase, the Wabash City Council on Sept. 14 amended a tax abatement for the firm which it had approved in July. Shortly after the abatement was approved, according to Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, “an opportunity arose for Martin Yale to make another addition to the company. They had asked if there was a possibility to get the tax abatement that was approved a couple months ago amend-

ed.” The July abatement was for some new equipment to be added at the factory, Gillenwater reminded the council. “It was gong to add two new positions and an investment of about $107,000,” he said. “Fast forward to September, and those two jobs have grown into 15 new jobs and is turning into about a $757,000 investment. Those are the trends we like to see.” The 13 additional jobs will be added over a period of three years, Martin Yale Controller Desire Harnish told the Council. The Count Machinery Co. manu-

factures quality print finishing equipment having served the global graphic arts industry for more than 55 years. With extensive product offerings such as UV coating machines, digital creasing machines, crash numbering machines, Inkjet numbering machines and perforating and scoring machines, Count has been providing innovative bindery and finishing solutions to the industry for decades. The acquisition of Count Machinery positions Martin Yale to offer a greater variety of product to the print finishing market - from lower vol-

Measure to protect peaceful protestors By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Those engaged in lawful and non-violent civil protests in the City of Wabash will not have to fear an excessive force by the Wabash Police Department under a measure approved Sept. 14 by the Wabash City Council. The measure is needed, according to City Attorney Doug Lehman, because the city received a grant from the Indiana Housing and C o m m u n i t y D e ve l o p m e n t Authority to do owner occupied housing renovations. It also brings the city in line with the Housing and C o m m u n i t y Development Act of 1974, he added. “I went back and checked to see whether or not we had such a policy,” Lehman said, noting that while he isn’t saying one doesn’t

exist, he could not “readily” find such a measure. “These kinds of policies which are necessary to receive grant money ought to be someplace where any administration can find them and find them easily,” he said. “Therefore I think it is appropriate that we pass an ordinance establishing a policy. I suspect, although I do not know for a fact … based on the wording of the sample policy, I suspect this is an outgrowth of civil rights demonstrations — picketing, if you will – of abortion clinics and other places that are engaged in controversial types of activities that may be legal but not necessarily liked by a segment of the population. “It’s to guarantee that people can demonstrate and show their dislike of the activity without facing the threat of violence being used.”

Part of the ordinance requires those using the facility are also to be protected in that “they’re not to be denied their right to enter or exit the facility,” Lehman said. He said he discussed the ordinance with Police Chief Larry Schnapps, and noted that the city

does have “an extensive policy” about the use of excessive force, Lehman noted. “But it does not have any of the magic words housing law use,” Lehman continued. “And to make it very clear that we do comply with that, I recommend that we pass the ordinance.”

This move will increase production capacity and efficiency, as well as ensure that the high standard of customer service and technical support that Count has been known for continues. “Joining forces with Martin Yale is an exciting opportunity for Count, Dave Gilbert, Count Machinery Co. president, said. It will enable us to focus our efforts on continued product development and distribution, while boosting our production capacity and manufacturing capabilities. We are excited to join the Martin Yale family of brands.

know, it could be more.” One donor, referred to as Bob, came out to the event and wrote a check for $1,000, Graff said. Bob’s grandson Andrew Collins was a survivor of leukemia and a patient at Riley’s Hospital for Children during his chemotherapy treatments. “Thank you Wabash, Indiana, for making an incredible difference,” Graff said. “Like I said in the opening ceremo-

ny, this may be a small town but they have made a tremendously impact for pediatric cancer research and the Jeff Gordon’s Children Foundation and KickIt for Children’s Cancer are incredibly grateful.” Donations may still be made to support Kick-It with Karsyn on the event’s website k i c k it.org/games/2015/09 /second-annual-kickit-with-karsyn.

Ford. The dedication came during an open house celebrating the facility’s 10th anniversary. Ford, according to Museum Executive Director Mitch Figert, often shared his dreams and visions for the facility with him. “It was not just hearing about how we’ve done things and how we built the museum, but hearing what he wanted the museum to be, all the big projects he couldn’t accomplish during his time here, and how he handed them off to me,” Figert said. “Without his influence, none of this would have been possible.” Local historian Pete Jones talked about Ford’s influence on the museum. “He became interested in finding a better location for the museum more than 25 years ago,” Jones said of Ford. “He created an ad hoc committee to seek a better location.” Several places were explored, including the old Eagles Lodge and the former Wabash Junior High School. “During that time period, Richard sponsored and organized committee visits to area museums so that we might have an idea what other places were

doing,” Jones continued. “He made site visits to some of the leading museums around this country where he spoke with curators and other staff members” to get ideas for his hometown museum. Jones said the museum sums up Ford’s legacy perfectly. Museum board chair Sam Frazier thanked those who attended the event. “We have faced many challenges over the past 10 years,” Frazier said. “Most of those challenges have been met, but we still face

many more. “We’re a non-profit relying on donations for operation expenses to meet our mission which has never changed. That is to collect, preserve, document, educate and inspire.” Figert, who has been executive director for two years, told The Paper of Wabash County that it was “great to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the museum.” “We have pictures from the construction phase until now, and it’s just great to what the building was and how we’ve been able to

restore the building,” he continued. Brian Haupert, the museum’s director of operations, said he has a lot of memories with the facility. “I started from the very beginning, that’s been 16 years for me,” he said. “What it has grown into is something really special.” Both Figert and Haupert said changes are likely in the coming years. “We have been looking at some other things,” Haupert said. “I think there will be some revamping of some exhibits and maybe some upgrading of technologies. “We’ve been making field trips to some other facilities and looking at what they have to get some ideas of what they have.” Figert also said technological changes were in the offing. “We’re talking to a lot of technology companies,” he said. “Technology is kind of the way of the future. We’re going to see videos going to a lot of the exhibits, QR codes and obviously a lot of educational components, too.”

Doud Orchards to host apple tasting tests Article provided

DENVER — Doud Orchards will be conducting consumer preference apple tasting tests at its farm market during fall weekends this season. Consumers are asked to observe, taste, and rate new experimental selections versus standard commercial varieties during this year’s r i p e n i n g sequence. Public input will help determine the direction of introduction of outstanding new apple varieties for the Midwest. Doud’s is a founding member of Midwest Apple Improvement Association (MAIA), a group of progressive growers who have produced, grown and selected new apple seedling varieties featuring crispness, flavor, store-ability, and other unique qualities for Midwest growing conditions. The group’s goal is to introduce a series of superior modern apple varieties which offer consumer choice over a long ripening season. Several advanced selections were grown and developed right here at Doud Orchards and David Doud’s County Line Orchard, Roann. Apple variety improvement has been a process of centuries, from origins in central Asia where wild orchards are still har-

vested, through the expansion of the Roman Empire, to classic European gardens and initial hybridizing attempts. After introduction to the New World, apples were prized, disseminated, and selected by settlers and visionaries such as John Chapman (Appleseed). Through the horticultural arts of grafting and germplasm preservation, we can still enjoy heirloom classics such as Golden Russet, Baldwin, Snow, Winesap, Newtown Pippin (George Washington’s favorite), and Esopus Spitzenberg (Thomas Jefferson’s favorite). In the 19th and 20th centuries systematic breeding programs at US land grant universities introduced many new hybrid varieties, which benefited the horticulture industry and consumers alike. In more recent times breeding programs such as PRI at Purdue introduced new varieties with disease resistance, which simplified growing and reduced chemical use. Current apple variety development trends have tended to be less altruistic and driven more strongly by political reality and profit motive. Most university research is driven and funded by corporate or g o v e r n m e n t grants. Plant patenting and tree royalty pay-

ments are standard procedure, and “club” varieties have recently b e c o m e commonplace. The right to grow a club variety is purchased by large growers, and the supply and marketing of fruit controlled by the origin a t i n g company. Varieties developed over-seas or on the coasts are often not well-adapted to Midwestern conditions. With these realities in mind, a group of innovative growers formed the MAIA in the mid 1990s with the goal of developing new superior varieties for the Midwest. Emphasis is on fruit qualities for the m o d e r n consumer: crispness, flavor, season extension, and growing characteristics of disease resistance, frost tolerance, and tree structure for the modern grower. Introducing the organization at several Midwestern fruit grower’s meetings and through the fruit growing press, approximately 5 0 growers/breeders/enthu siasts answered the call to commit $100 per year for 15 years. In order to run the association on this shoestring it was decided that seedlings would be grown and evaluated on member’s farms. In the spring of 1997, participating growers (continued on page 6)

cials dream very big, Frazier continued. “Those dreams are achievable,” he said. “We’re very proud of the Parkview Educational Center. We appreciate all of your support. “We especially appreciate your support, Mayor Bob, as well as all of the council, for creating the climate in Wabash that makes people like us, the non-profit, successful.”

Washington St. home declared unsafe By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety home declared a Washington Street unsafe on Wednesday, Sept. 16. But rather than ordering the home demolished, the board instead gave its owner, Harold D. Burns, three weeks to come up with cost estimates and a detailed timeline as to when repairs to the home at 645 Washington St., would be made. City Building Commissioner John Stephens, during a public hearing on the home, said the home has a crumbling foundation and the house is starting to settle. There also are holes in the soffits and fascia, allow-

ing spots for animals to enter. A missing window has since been boarded up. While he doesn’t consider the home to be a fire hazard, he did say it is vacant and has become dilapidated because of the lack of care by its owner. It also is uninhabitable and is a health hazard, he continued. Burns, who purchased the home about a year ago, said he stopped working on the home when his father became ill earlier this year. He has spent the following months taking care of his father, as well as to tending to various properties his mother owns around the area. Burns also said was in contact with a masonry worker on Sept. 15, who said he would visit the site to give him an esti-

mate to repair the f o u n d a t i o n . However, it might take four to six weeks before the work on the foundation could begin. Once that is finished, Burns said, he plans to begin refurbishing the home. “I really haven’t been able to do anything on the outside until I got the foundation part taken care of,” he said. Burns then faced questioning by the board. Board member Dee Byerly asked, “Why would you even want to start on it?” Burns said the home was structurally sound, though he did admit it looks bad from the outside. Pressed by Byerly, Burns said he didn’t know how much refurbishing the home would cost. Board member Greg Metz then asked if Burns was aware of a $19,000

judgment lien that existed on the property. Burns said he was unaware of that. Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m noted that the home has been a problem for several years. “It’s been sitting there a long time,” he said. “Nothing’s been done. I’ve gotten complaints after complaints from neighbors about it.” Metz also pointed out that Burns purchased the home about 14 months ago, “and the only thing we’ve got is that you talked to the foundation guy yesterday. In 14 months, the day before you had a hearing. “So really, what spurred the contact with the foundation guy, I refuse to believe it was happenstance, is that you talked to him the day before.” Burns said he spoke with the foundation repairman in December or

JUST ONE “SMART” REASON TO CALL NOW:

January, but it was too cold for him to do anything with the work. “It’s nice in April,” Va n l a n d i n g h a m noted. “This is September.” He said his dad’s illness, which began in March, caused him to stop everything on the home. Asked how long it might take him to refurbish the home, Burns said at least one year. “I work six days a week, so I try to be working on it whenever I get a chance in the evenings, on days off and, of course, on vacation,” Burns said. Byerly again advised Burns to think things through thoroughly before refurbishing the home. “If I were you, before I started that project, I’d have a pretty good idea of what it’s going to cost me,” he said. “You’re going to put

too much money into that property.” And, City Attorney Doug Lehman reminded, “the first $19,000 that goes out when you sell that property is going to go to pay that judgment lien. Burns again said he was unaware of the lien, to which Metz explained t hat the previous owners were sued and had a $19,000 judgment placed against their property. “The short answer means is what you did was that you bought a $19,000 debt and now that debt is yours,” Lehman said. “That doesn’t mean you’re personally liable for it, but the house is liable for it.” The board, before closing the hearing, determined the structure to be unsafe. However, it delayed any action on the fate of the structure until its Oct. 7 meeting, at

which time Burns is to reappear with a detailed plan on what he plans to do to the home, how much he plans to spend, and a timeline, complete with benchmarks to gauge his progress, and present it to the board. In a related matter, the board approved quotes from Brainard Excavating to raze homes at 409 Manchester Ave. and 1207 Pike St. Both homes were declared unsafe earlier this year. Brainard bid $6,350 for the Manchester home and $8,140 Pike home. Two other firms, Eads & Son Bulldozing and Matt Niccum Excavating and Tree Service, also submitted quotes.

made the first crosses, with the breeding parents chosen for their

cropping reliability, disease resistance, and flavor/quality attributes. GoldRush, Sweet Sixteen, Scarlet O’Hara, Crimson Crisp, HoneyCrisp, Rome Melrose, Fuji, and Golden Delicious in various combinations were represented in that first year’s parents. 5300 seedlings were grown from the first year’s breeding. Breeding has continued each year since and well over 50,000 seedlings have been distributed to members to grow, fruit, and e v a l u a t e . In 2007 seedlings began fruiting and the first selections were identified for propagation and f u r t h e r

evaluation. Tastings are held at the membership’s annual winter meetings. At these meetings members have been privileged to listen to a ‘who’s who’ of fruit breeders from around the world. Advanced selections continue to be evaluated at various venues throughout the Midwest, and new crosses continue to be made. EverCrisp was the first released variety from the program, with other promising selections on the way. EverCrisp and several advanced selections originated at David Doud’s County Line O r c h a r d , Roann. EverCrisp resulted from a cross of HoneyCrisp and Fuji, and combines many of the desirable qualities of each. Apple breeding is a long term venture and success rates for outstanding progeny are typically quite low. However, seedlings of HoneyCrisp X Fuji have proven to possess a high percentage of desirable traits, and several selections show superior potential. EverCrisp will be tested worldwide and tree sales will pass the 500,000 mark next spring. Three more advanced selections are designated for patenting and introduction in the near future.

Registration open for spring semester at Ivy Tech From the Ivy Tech News Bureau KOKOMO — Registration for spring semester classes at Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region is underway. “Perhaps a potential student wasn’t able to get started at Ivy Tech this fall but wants to have everything in place when classes begin Jan. 11,” said Fran Hardin, director of Ivy Tech’s Express Enrollment Center on the Kokomo

Campus. “The staff in the Express Enrollment Center can assist prospective students in completing all the paperwork for admissions and financial aid so they are ready for a smooth beginning.” Hardin noted the sooner students begin the process, the more sure they can be to get the classes they want with all financial aid in place. Enrollment center staffers can help in filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for

Federal Student Aid) and making arrangements for any Accuplacer testing students may need to be sure they are in appropriate classes. Dec. 1 is the priority deadline for submitting the FAFSA to Ivy Tech to assure financial aid is in place Jan. 11. Noting students who register early have the best selection of courses and times, Hardin said advisers will be available in the Student Affairs office to guide students in course selec-

tion. The Express Enrollment Center and Student Affairs office on the Kokomo Campus and the Student Affairs office at the Logansport Campus are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays. Prospective students may go through the admission process at any Ivy Tech site regardless of where they plan to attend classes.

Kirtlan Automotive named 2015 Business of the Year... continued from the front page more than 100 years and each committed to making sure the customer is satisfied with their repair. There are four ASE Master Technicians on staff and a Service Manager. All have been trained and all continue their training in their respective fields as the industry and its technology continues to change. The technicians include: Kelly Harner, Paul Kern, Joe Hamilton, and son Eric Kirtlan. The service manager is Roderick Schram. Kirtlan’s daughter Andrea Beeks is a service advisor, and hisfather Jerry is also an integral part of the daily operations as he oversees the accounting aspect of the business. It is not uncommon for Kirtlan or his employees to get stopped in a store, on the street or at area events by friends, former classmates and acquaintances with car questions. They will be asked about a slight noise when they turn right, or about an engine light that comes on or that the vehicle runs a bit rough on damp mornings.

Each Kirtlan team member is always ready with an educated answer, and encourages those with questions to bring the vehicle in to make sure their assessment is correct. Steve continues to field many questions on a broad range of vehicles having been curious and striving to learn how things work from the time he was a child. Growing up on a Wabash County family farm, he got some of that knowledge from his dad, Jerry, and some of it he obtained by just trying to fix it himself. That drive and determination is what made Steve Kirtlan decide to study automotive repair at Lincoln Technical Institute and enter the workforce early. He graduated from Northfield High School and the Upper Wabash Career Center (now the Heartland Career Center) in 1983, and from Lincoln Technical Institute in 1984. His first job in the industry was with Bob Schwartz Ford in Peru, then at Wabash Valley Chrysler in Wabash. After being a

mechanic for six years, then Service Advisor, he decided to open his own auto repair business. After talking with his wife, Cathy, he decided that opening Kirtlan Automotive was what his future and God had in store for him. Kirtlan Automotive provides the area with complete automotive repair and maintenance services on domestic and imported cars and light trucks. They offer advanced computerized diagnostic services using factory diagnostic tools. Kirtlan Automotive also has steering and chassis services including professional installation of struts, shocks, ball joints, tires and computerized alignments. “We have highly trained technicians that can not only repair vehicles but also inspect each one and fully inform the customer of recommendations for it,” Kirtlan said. The firm also has one of the area’s only automotive machine shops where they bore blocks, surface flywheels and machine engine cylinder heads. It is affili-

Emmanuel Free Will to host guest speaker By The Paper staff Jacob Berry will speak at 6 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Emmanuel Free Will Baptist Church. Jacob was born with a rare type of muscular dystrophy and was given only two years to live. The doctors could see no hope for Jacob’s future, but his family knew in their heart that God had a special plan for his life. They never gave up hope. Today, Jacob faces many challenges in his life but he is an inspiration to everyone he meets. His soul desire is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to see souls saved for the kingdom of God. Since he was 11 days old, Jacob has been on a ventilator. In October of 1988, his family was told

that he would never leave the hospital alive, but three months later, they brought him home. He was the first St. F r a n c i s Hospital baby ever sent home with a breathing tube. Ever since those days, he has been dependant for every breath. But God had more for Jacob to do! Today, Jacob is on a mission to share his story and joy for life. He views every day as a precious gift from God. Confined to a wheelchair and still dependent on the ventilator, Jacob travels the country delivering powerful and inspirational messages. As an ordained

The Kirtlans have been married for 30 years and have four children and three grandchildren. Kirtlan has an Associate Degree of Automotive Service Management, won NAPA’s ASE Technician of the Year award in 2011. Steve is a member, and past president of the local Optimist Club, member of Bachelor Creek Church of Christ, board member of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, a former wrestling coach and current high school wrestling official.

United Fund campaign begins By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The 2015 Wabash County United Fund campaign teed off on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at the 24th annual Wabash Rotary Club golf outing. About 80 golfers from around the area learned about the

local philanthropic group and the 18 community agencies it supports. This year’s campaign goal is $250,000, UF Executive Director Steve Johnson told The Paper of Wabash County shortly after the golf outing began at the Honeywell Golf Course.

“That’s a little bit down,” he said of the campaign goal. “We haven’t achieved our goal the last couple of years, so we thought we’d bring it to a realistic level.” The public campaign will continue through December, he said. “There will be companies doing in-house

campaigns, and we’ll be sending out letters to residents,” Johnson said. Heading the 2015 campaign is Troy Cole, while Nate Fansher is the UF board president. Johnson and Honeywell Golf Pro Mel Thomas greeted the golfers. At each hole, representatives from the various agencies greeted the golfers and talked about their various agencies. Cathy Bakehorn and Dave Smith, representing ARC of Wabash County, passed out Oreo cookies and golf tees to the golfers as they approached the tee box. “It’s a real important part of helping us with funding,” Smith said of the United Fund. “It’s a big part of funding to help us get through the year.” Judy Ward, representing Wabash FAME, had a big box of candy available to the various golfers. “United Fund has been very supportive of FAME,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “We appreci-

Police to motorists: Watch for farm equipment By the Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS With harvest season starting this week, motorists should expect to see slow-moving farm equipment from Indiana’s 58,000+ farms on Hoosier roadways. Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS), Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), and Indiana State Police (ISP) are teaming up to bring attention to the need for more safety on Indiana’s rural roads. “While motorists cruise the beautiful rural roadways of Indiana this fall, they should be aware of slowmoving farm equipment using those roads during harvest season,” Lt. Governor Ellspermann said. “It is incredibly important to get this message out to ask all drivers to have patience and drive safely around slow-moving vehicles. I encourage all Hoosiers to be mindful and alert for farm equipment on roadways this harvest season.” The following tips will help ensure the safety of motorists, passengers, and operators of slowmoving equipment: — Farmers on roadways are going to or from work, just like many other people on the road. — Most farmers will pull over when they are able to let you pass, but it may take time for them to get to a safe place to do so. Be patient. — Farm equipment is wide, sometimes taking up most of the roadway. Be careful when passing.

— The red triangle on the back of an implement, farm machinery or other vehicle indicates a slow-moving vehicle (under 25 mph). — If you’re driving 55 mph and come upon a tractor that’s moving 15 mph, it only takes five seconds to close a gap the length of a football field between you and the tractor. — Do not try to pass a slow moving vehicle on the left without ensuring that the vehicle is not planning a left turn. It may appear that the driver is pulling over for you to pass when it is actually preparing to turn. You will drive right into its path, endangering yourself and the farmer. — Do not pass if you are in a designated “No Passing Zone” or within 100 feet of any intersection, railroad grade crossing, bridge, elevation structure, or tunnel. — Do not assume that a farm vehicle that pulls to the right side of the road is going to turn right or is letting you pass. Due to the size of some farm implements, the farmer must execute wide left-hand turns. If you are unsure, check the operator’s hand signals and check the left side of the road for gates, driveways or any place a farm vehicle may turn. “As our farmers are working to bring in this year’s crop, we want to remind all Hoosiers of farmers’ increased presence on the roadways,” ISDA Director Ted McKinney said. “We want to reinforce to motorists that these farmers have every right to use the roadway, too. Waiting a few minutes to safely pass or for the driver to pull over will not impact their drive substantially, and they

will get to their destination unharmed.” “With slow-moving vehicles during harvest, patience and allowing extra time for travel is crucial,” said Dr. Michael Olinger, state emergency medical services director with IDHS. “Also, it’s critically important to avoid any distractions, such as smart phones. Distracted driving is the biggest cause of vehicular injuries.” Indiana State Police Supt. Doug Carter said, “To get from the farm field to the dinner table takes cooperation of drivers of both regular vehicles and farm vehicles safely sharing the road as crops are harvested and transported to market.” Supt. Carter continued, “A distraction or lapse in judgment for either driver can have catastrophic consequences, which is why we ask all to be attentive to the full time task of safely driving, be it in a car, truck or a piece of farm equipment.” “This harvest season drivers should watch for both farm equipment and vehicles waiting to pass to prevent crashes where traffic slows or stops suddenly,” said INDOT Commissioner Brandye Hendrickson. “Drivers also should anticipate large vehicles as they navigate hills and curves on country roads.” By law, farm equipment must have the nationally designated slow-moving vehicle sign – a red triangleshaped reflector – to warn oncoming drivers that their equipment is on the road. These vehicles often travel at speeds no higher than 25 mph.

Crash injures Wabash man By The Paper staff A Wabash man was seriously injured Friday morning in a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of State Road 15 and State Road 16. According to the Indiana State Police, a 2013 International semi-tractor pulling an empty box trailer driven by Alondre Randles was eastbound on SR 16 when it stopped at the intersection of Ind. 15, the proceeded to cross SR 15.

A 1992 Ford Econoline van driven by Holden Wiley, 25, Wabash, struck Randles’ vehicle in the box trailer. Wiley was not required to stop at the intersection. Wiley was transported to a Fort Wayne hospital with severe injuries to his arm and leg. Randles was not injured. Both drivers were wearing seat belts, and ISP Trooper Dustin Rutledge believes that helped prevent a more serious injury.

The crash is still under investigation. However, neither drugs nor alcohol is suspected as to having contributed to the crash. Randles was issued a citation for failure to yield to cross traffic. Rutledge was assisted with the crash investigation by ISP First Sergeant Mike Tomson, Senior Trooper Bart Stouffer, Trooper Mick Biggs, Roann first responders, and Wabash County EMS.

Pull Over campaign results in 41 tickets, 2 arrests By The Paper staff The Wabash County Sheriffs D e p a r t m e n t announced the completion of the national and statewide 2015 Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement mobilization campaign. During the annual 20-day enforcement period, 41 tickets and 96 warnings were written. 2 criminal arrests were made, one for Operating Never Licensed and the other for Possession of Illegal Syringe. “The importance of driving sober cannot be overstated,” said Sheriff Bob Land. “Ensuring drivers understand the risks of driving impaired is a priori-

ty we share all across the state. This campaign drives home the message that so ber driving is the only safe way to drive.” According to the U.S. Department of Transpor tation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2012, an average of one alcohol related driving fatality occurred every 51 minutes. Further, NHTSA statistics show each year on average, more than 10,000 people die on U.S. roadways, due to intoxicated driving. “Eliminating impaired driving is a priority in our state,” said Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Director, Dave Murtaugh. “With help

from all of our partners, we will continue to raise awareness and enforcement on such an important topicuntil our Indiana roadways are the safest roadways in the country.” Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over is an annual enforcement effort supported by federal highway safety funding. The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute distributes funding to more than 250 participating Indiana law enforcement agencies.

‘Mary Poppins’ to bring ‘magic’ to the Honeywell Center stage... continued from front page

“how open and willing everyone’s been.” “I’ve asked a lot of them really creatively and I think they’ve really stepped up to the challenge of getting out of usual habits and taking it a little bit further,” Hawkins Moan said. “I’m proud to see the grow that the cast has made from Mary to ensemble, we’ve asked them to work their butts off and they have. “I think we’re going to see the result of that when the audience sees the big dance numbers and they see the flying and all that fantastic stuff. I’m excited for them to show their hard work off.”

Balancing Act The production includes multiple characters that balance each other including the soft, sweet nature of Winifred Banks and the demanding, cold nature of George Banks. The most notice-

able balance however stems from the two lead roles, Riner’s character, Poppins, and Bert who is played by North Manchester local Clayton Marcum, according to Hawkins Moan. “We’ve played up (the relationship of Mary and Bert) a lot,” the director said. “It’s not necessarily in the script, but it’s something that I feel strongly about doing. “In the book, Bert’s kind of a blip. … In the play, they’ve gone a step further and they’ve kind of bestowed upon him almost some of Mary’s magic which is fantastic and I loved so much that I’ve asked (Marcum) to find different ways he can incorporate it.” Marcum said “Mary Poppins” was his first Broadway show. “When I saw Bert fly and tap dance across the ceiling, that’s when I was like, ‘I want to do the-

ater for the rest of my life,’” he continued. “So it’s been my dream ever since that and it’s so much fun. I get to check off being Bert and flying both in one show.” Leading up to the final production, Riner and Marcum said that throughout rehearsal they use each other to be better and do more with their own characters. “I feed off of her energy,” Marcum said. “I use what she gives and I’m like, ‘Yes. Mary’s giving me energy. I can go with this.’” “I think how Clayton portrays Bert, it encourages me to be more sarcastic or dry because he’s so fun and good natured and she kind of gives him the eyebrow every once in a while,” Riner added with a laugh. Marcum and Brittany have found that great balance and understanding of their different roles, Hawkins Moan said. “We’ve really staged some things

that I think are really going to resonate that well,” she continued. Riner said her biggest challenge with playing Poppins is also balancing the character’s loving and gracious personality with her stern and disciplinarian traits. “One of the biggest challenges for me,” Marcum said, “would be, as it was said by Sarah (Hawkins Moan), Mary is the Mary Poppins (and magic) for the kids and Bert is the Mary Poppins for George Banks and I’ve never thought of it that way. “So keeping that in mind how I have the same magic in that sense as Mary Poppins, it’s like I’m creating my own Mary Poppins with Bert trying to get George Banks into the childhood that he really never had.” Marcum admitted that Riner possibly has it easier to work her magic with the kids. “They’re stuck in

their own ways, but at the same time she’s doing all these things that are magical so of course it’s going to be like, ‘Woah! That just happened.’ And they jump up on board with that,” he continued. “But Mr. Banks throughout the whole thing, when Mary does those magical things and he sees it, he doesn’t want her to be the nanny and he just wants her gone. “So with Bert, I have to approach it differently like, ‘Come on. Just think about it. You were there once.’ So it’s just a more subtle approach that Bert has to take with it.” Throughout the play, Poppins teaches Jane and Michael Banks – played by Camille Kugler and Trey Wright – how to expand their worlds beyond the nursery and personal problems. Riner, Wright and Kugler have known each other through other WACT productions through-

Clayton Marcum and Brittany Riner are the leading duo in the upcoming Wabash Area Community Theater production of “Mary Poppins.” Riner and Marcum, who play Mary Poppins and Bert, are paired with children Trey Wright and Camille Kugler, the “impossible” Michael and Jane Banks, as Poppins attempts to teach the children manners and that there is magic in the world around them.

‘Mary Poppins’ to bring ‘magic’ to the Honeywell Center stage... continued from page 16 two off the stage. “For rehearsal, it’s been really fun where we joke around with each other or I’ll say things and they won’t take it personally or they’ll say things and I won’t take it personally,” Riner said. “On stage, kids can say a line sometimes and maybe you should say a line in a certain way and they don’t and so I’m also counterbalancing that and just working with what they have because they’re talented too. “I think it’s really neat to see this cast grow throughout these last few weeks and the show should be good.” The ‘impossible’ children Wright and Kugler, two Wabash County locals, take on the roles of Michael and Jane Banks, notoriously known as the two “impossible” children on Cherry Tree Lane for their bad manners and illwilled tempers. Kugler said that it’s been a lot of fun being in the musical. “I think this is the one thing that I have during the school year that I’m this upset about ending,” she said. “I don’t remember who I told but I said it’s going to be the last scene of the show on the last day when Mary Poppins is leaving and I’m going to be crying, saying, ‘She’s gone. She’s not coming back forever!’ And I’m going to lose it on stage. It will be emotional.” “Yeah, I wish I could acting all year around,” Wright echoed his on-stage sister. When asked what their favorite part about playing Jane and Michael, Wright said it’s the chance to be snotty brats.

“It’s kind fun to like—because I try to nice to people—it’s fun to pretend to be really mean to people,” Kugler said. “It is a little bit (hard to portray Jane’s character) but not really because when I’m home I’m not always so nice to my siblings and I’m used to being the older sister.” Wright said that he can relate to his character because he is “a noisy, mischievous, troublesome little boy.” According to Kugler, the hardest part of acting as Jane is remembering that, even when they don’t have lines for a while, that they’re still “on.” “It’s hard to remember that we’re still in the scene and we’re still trying to be Jane and Michael,” she continued. Prior to “Mary Poppins,” the pair have known each other for a while, sharing the stage in “Peter Pan.” Since the start of rehearsal, while he doesn’t believe that he himself has grown since the beginning, Wright noted that he’s witnessed Kugler’s confidence grow since the very first rehearsal. “I remember when we started with the music rehearsal and when you would sing you would (sing softly),” Wright told Kugler. “We couldn’t here you and you probably couldn’t hear yourself, but it carried on to the first couple of blocking days and learning your lines and you gradually became more outgoing.” When asked what the message of “Mary Poppins” is, Wright laughed and said, “Don’t mess with your nanny or she’ll turn your toys

against you.” On a serious note, Kugler added, “When (Mr. Banks) is at the scene at the bank and they’re talking about his new job and how much money he’s going to get, he makes a point, ‘Well, my family comes first.’ I think family is very important and is the lesson.” Director’s cut This is not the movie, according to the director. It’s a

mixture of the book series written by P. L. Travers and Disney’s musical adaptation and there’s “absolutely going to be magic.” “It is different from the movie but in the best way possible,” Hawkins Moan said. “I think that the community needs to come and that they need to come and bring their grandmas and bring their grandpas, bring their kids, husbands and

wives. I think this a show that you need to experience with your loved ones because it is so much about rediscovering the people that are most important to you and finding the happiness and magic in what you have right in front of you.” “Mary Poppins” will play on Friday Sept. 25 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday Sept. 27 at 2 p.m. Admission is $15

for adults and $10 for high school and younger students. Tickets are available online at honeywell-

NRC gives final approval Manchester tennis team downs Wabash to new catfish rules From the DNR

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Natural R e s o u r c e s Commission on Tuesday gave final approval to rule changes that govern commercial fishing and sport fishing for catfish. The new rules raise the minimum size on catfish from 10 to 13 inches and limit the number of large catfish that can be taken — no more than one each per day of channel catfish at least 28 inches long, blue cat-

fish at least 35 inches long, and flathead catfish at least 35 inches long. The changes apply to both commercial fishing and sport fishing on lakes, reservoirs, streams, and rivers, including the Ohio River. The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife proposed the changes in order to increase survival of younger catfish and ensure continued large or “trophy” catfish opportunities for both sport and commercial fishing. Larger catfish

also have higher reproductive potential and can help control populations of forage species such as gizzard shad and Asian carp. The Commission granted preliminary approval to the rule changes in November, after a public comment period that included one public hearing. The rule changes will not be in effect until approved by the Attorney General’s Office and Governor’s Office and published in the Indiana Register.

Lady Knights give Wapahani a scare By Gary Andrews The Southwood volleyball team gave No.3 Wapahani a scare Saturday, defeating the Raiders in game one before falling 2522, 24-26, 23-25, 18-25. The two top 15 teams would start the night trading points with neither being able to mount a run. Game one was tied 8 times before the Knights would be the first to make a move. With Bailey Hobbs serving, Southwood would score 4 straight off an ace and a kill from Bailey Lundmark to lead 1915. Lundmark would trade kills with Wapahani while Emilie Harnish got in on the action as the Knights led 22-19 when the Raiders scored 3 straight to knot the score. Tied at 22 Hobbs would get a block, followed by 2

Wapahani errors to give the Knights a 2522 game one win. Game two would start the same as game one and with Wapahani leading 10-8 the Knights caught fire. Bailey Lundmark would record a kill that started a 4-0 run as the Knights scored 8 of the next 9 points to grab a 16-11 lead. Southwood continued to feed Harnish and led 20-16 when the over rated chant from the cheer block seemed to fuel the Raiders. Wapahani would score 5 straight to grab a 21-20 lead before three straight by the Knights made it 23-21. The Raiders would come back with 3 straight to lead 24-23 when an out of bounds serve tied the score at 24 before 2 Raider points gave them the game 26-24 and tied the match 1-1. Wapahani led game three 11-9 when they

made a run. The Raiders would score 8 of the next 10 points to lead 19-11 when the character of the Knights came out. Makayla Proffitt would get three kills while Kelsey Niccum served an ace and Southwood scored 5 straight to cut the lead to 19-16. Down 2318 Ashley Parson would get a kill that started a 4 points run. Bailey Lundmark had three straight kills as the Knights trailed 2223. Wapahani would score 2 of the last 3 points for a 25-23 win and a 2-1 lead. Game four kept the theme of the early punch and counter punch. Wapahani opened a 13-8 lead when the Knights made a comeback. On the back of Emilie Harnish Southwood would score 5 of the next 7 points to tie the score at 13. The Raiders would gain

the lead back and at 20-17 put it away when they scored 3 straight for a 23-17 lead and went on to win 25-18.

Knights stop Wabash’s Winners announced at Roann pull winning streak By The Paper staff

By Gary Andrews

It was homecoming night at Wabash as the Apaches played host to county rival Southwood, putting their 4-0 record on the line. The Knights had the ball first with the Apache defense holding and forcing a punt. The Wabash offense would feed off the defense, mounting a 17 play drive that ended on a 1yd Luke Proctor TD run to put the Apaches up 7-0 with 1:00 to go in the quarter. Southwood’s first possession of the second quarter resulted in a punt that was botched with Wabash’s Jordan Holley picking it up and taking it in with 11:21 on the clock for a 14-0 lead. The Knights would respond however, mounting a 17 play, 83yd drive that ended with a 7yd Carson Blair to Peyton Trexler TD pass to make it 14-7 with 6:19 on the clock. Wabash would try to answer the Southwood TD, but Trexler would pick off a Sammy Hipskind pass and score his second touchdown in three minutes to knot the score at 14 at the half.

With 7:17 left in the third quarter the game was delayed because of lightning for a little over an hour. When play resumed the action was as hot as the lightning they waited on. With the ball on the Southwood 28, Hipskind would connect with Owen Yeadon for a touchdown with 3:08 on the clock as the Apaches grabbed a 21-14 lead, but back came the Knights. With the ball on their own 13 Blair and the Knights would go to the air with the last being a Blair to Trexler connection from 30 yards out to knot the score at 21 with a quarter to go. The Knights looked like they were going to take the lead early in the fourth when they had the ball first and goal on the Wabash five, but couldn’t punch it in against a stiff Apache defense. The Apaches were mounting a drive and had the ball deep in Southwood territory when Trexler picked off Hipskind a second time, racing 80 yards down the sideline for a touchdown with 3:23 left to give the Knights a 28-21 lead.

After a Wabash first down it was the Knight defense that would come up big, getting sacks from Ortega and Louck, making the Apaches try and convert a 4th and 26 to keep the drive alive. The Apaches came up 9 yards short on the play with the Knights taking over the ball and running out the clock for the 28-21 win.

THE PAPER

TORY MAST, who lives and works for Viacom in London, spent Sept. 11-13 in Munich, Germany, with volunteers who were working with the migrants coming into Germany. I thought it might be interesting for readers to get a first hand account of what they see on the news. Tory wrote: “It was an interesting weekend. We went to Munich’s main train station because that’s where most of the migrants were coming. We were there Friday afternoon and just happened to be there when a train from Salzburg, Austria, arrived with a couple hundred migrants. There were lots of police around and camera crews/media people. After they got off the train, the police held them on the platform for about a half hour (not sure why). Then they escorted the group to another part of the train station where they went into another hall. We weren’t allowed to go in there, but talked to some of the volunteers just outside. This hall is where they get screened for any serious health problems, communicable diseases, etc. They see a doctor if they need to. Then the migrants board buses that take them to shelters. It all seemed pretty organized, but it was sad to see so many people, including kids, who are there with only a small bag of belongings. And most of them have spent more than a month walking and taking buses and trains to get there. “Then on Saturday we talked to a volunteer and told him we wanted to see one of the shelters, so he gave us directions to one on the outskirts of Munich. It was actually a convention center. After we got there (by taxi), one of the security guards gave us bad directions and we ended up walking several miles, basically in a circle, only to end up back where we started. The shelter was being run by the Red Cross and housed people for only a day or so until they were bused to other cities around the

Turning 90: This is a picture of former Urbana resident Bob Wolf who will be celebrating his 90th birthday on Sept. 21, 2015. Although cards and/or notes will be a little late, he would love to hear from his Urbana friends. His address is 280 Garden Lane, Haines City. FL 33844. Bob, son of Ed and Estella Hipskind Wolf, and his six siblings lived west of Urbana where Orville and Martha Chamberlain now live. After serving in the Seabees during World War II he lived in Wabash and later Fort Wayne where he worked in the heating and air conditioning business before retiring to Florida where he worked for Disney World. Bob and his sister Anna Faurot are the only siblings still living. Anna will be 93 on Sept. 30. country. They wouldn’t let us in with a camera, so I waited in a waiting area with the camera while a volunteer went inside and talked to the guy in charge and got some more info about the process and what they needed. Apparently they don’t need a lot in Munich since they have had a lot of locals donate water, food, clothes, etc., but once people are shipped to other parts of the country — sometimes to small towns — that’s where they need additional support. So it was a very informative trip. We also had time to walk around and see the city. And I ate lots of sausage and sauerkraut!” URBANA LIONS CLUB: 25G District Governor Vic Fischer and his wife Lion Deane and 46 Lions members and guests from the Somerset, Richvalley, Lafontaine, Laketon, and Urbana Clubs met at the newly remodeled Urbana Community Building on Sept. 14. District Governor Vic Fischer said he is hoping all of the Lions Clubs in Wabash County can work together in the coming year to continue to help their communities while increasing membership and having fun. He also asked each club to have a project to help the Leader Dog for the Blind’s facility in Rochester, Mich., help with their remodeling project which includes building new kennels. District G has pledged to raise $20,000 to finance two new kennels. He encouraged Lions Club members who had not visited the Leader Dog facility to do so in the coming year to see first-hand the great things that are being done. If anyone would like more information on how they can help by rais-

ing a leader dog puppy, please contact your local Lions Club. You do not have to be a Lion to raise a leader dog from the puppy stage until they are ready for their formal training in Rochester, Michigan.

Square dance lessons Salamonie Lake hosts Senior planned in NM Monday Luncheon, Oct. 5 By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — Western square dance lessons will be open for beginners on two days this year – Sunday, Oct. 4, and Oct. 11.

The North Manchester Belles and Beaus Square Dance Club is sponsoring the lessons, and Jerry Davidson, the club’s caller, will be the instructor. Now is the time to try something new

and interesting. Square dancing is a great way to get that much needed exercise, meet new friends, and enjoy yourself, all at the same time. Questions can be directed to Allen and Ellen Fisher, who are serving as the club’s president this year. They can be reached at 260-519-0761.

NM Center for History hosts disasters exhibit By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESER — The North Manchester Center for History (NMCH) will host Indiana Disasters, one of the Indiana Historical Society’s (IHS’s) newest traveling exhibitions, Sept. 1-Oct. 13. The exhibit can be viewed during regular museum hours, and will be available free to the public during North Manchester’s Harvest Festival, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Natural and human activities, and often a combination of the two, produce catastrophic events affecting the Indiana land-

scape and Hoosier individuals in the past and today. Historically, stories of these events are passed down through g e n e r a t i o n s . Sometimes we learn from disastrous

events, but other times they cannot be prevented. In Indiana, extreme weather such as floods, tornadoes, blizzards, and drought persist year to year. The way

humans interact with their environment also leave people vulnerable to disasters, causing accidents like fires, crashes, spills, and explosions. Disasters of all kinds—biological,

violent, or bizarre events such as epidemics, bombs, and squirrel migrations— are forever remembered in local communities. In this traveling exhibit, photographs from IHS collections and other state institutions capture unforgettable Indiana catastrophes while newspaper headlines, illustrations and survivor accounts show how Hoosier’s persevere in the face of dis-

aster. Indiana Disasters is made possible by Kroger. For more information about this exhibit, call The Center for History, 260-982-0672 or visit nmhistory@cinergymetro.net.

I’ll do it.’” The program will include “Night in the Tropics” by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, musical pieces from “West Side Story,” and “Polovestian Dances” by Alexander Borodin.

VIEWPOINT Record year for Chair Affair their puppy paw chair, and to Wellbrooke of Wabash for taking second place, entering a hand painted chair painted by one of its residents. In the individual category, Amy Howenstine took first place with her first time entry, and the Guenin family was second with their “unique” chair. The 2015 Festival Queen, Ashley Price, chose Monica Sparling’s tent chair as her favorite. We were fortunate to have the reigning Indiana State Festivals Queen, Kaytlyn Eberly, with us and she chose the Wabash County Historical Museum’s as her favorite. We want to thank our sponsor, Benson and Son Plumbing and Heating, Tony Stout and his family for our auction, and Wabash True Value for donating an awning. We also want to thank Harvey Hinklemyers, Mi Pueblo, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Subway and Kelly’s Ice Cream for donating prizes for the winners. We also want to thank

Dear Editor: For those of you that know us, you know we are not very often left speechless, but we were on Aug. 15 during the Chair Affair. We set three records this year. We had the largest number of chairs entered at 37; we had the biggest crowd that we have ever had at the auction; and we raised the most money we have ever raised, $1,400. We are so excited to be able to donate that money to our charities – Happy Day Preschool and Dog Works. Congratulations to C o r n e r s t o n e Veterinary Services for capturing the first place win in the business category with

Mary Ann Mast for contacting those businesses and making sure we had great prizes. Kristy Church, artist and owner of The Black Squirrel, donated a fun airplane chair for our silent auction and we thank her. A big thank you to Festival Queen Ashley Price and her court for helping us. Thanks go to Amy Eads for giving up her Saturday afternoon and helping. We want to thank each business, organization and individual that entered a chair. We want to thank everyone that came for the auction and bid on a chair and a huge thank you to those that opened their wallets and their hearts and bought a chair, or two or three in some cases. It always makes us smile when a bidding war breaks out, and there were several of them this year. When we started The Chair Affair, we hoped it would grow and become something like the residents of Wabash County looked forward to and it has

surpassed all of our expectations. We heard so many people say that they already have a plan for their chair for next year. One local business owner told us she was down there on Saturday “getting ideas” so that she could enter one next year. Comments like that always reinforce the fact that what we are doing is a good thing, and it reminds us how generous and supportive Wabash County is. It’s never too early to start imagining the kind of chair you would like to enter for the 2016 Chair Affair. We would love to see 40 chairs, bigger crowds and even more money raised for two charities. We thank each of you for making the 2015 Chair Affair a huge success. – Chris Benson and Sara Correll, Chair Affair committee.

Iran deal: Check the facts Dear Editor Why has the political discourse become so crude? Why has name calling become an everyday occurrence on the political trail? While there is more than one reason (one being gerrymandering of congressional districts), I think a major cause is the proliferation of “news” outlets. A friend sent me an email recently about a number of taxes that he believed just went into effect in January of this year because of Obamacare. It took very little effort to research and find they were all false. It is very easy to find sources online or on radio or TV that confirm our preconceived notions and that play on our worst fears. These often present the other side as somehow ignorant or malicious. I encourage people to get out of your echo chamber, wherever that is, get some alter-

native views, and check them for accuracy. Find sources that have professional journalists who are accountable to their peers for accuracy. I tune in to talk radio and the Fox network on occasion to get a different perspective myself. While most of what I hear is opinion, there are facts presented also. (Unfortunately the facts are too often only one side of a story and sometimes not accurate.) A case in point is the new treaty with Iran. On one side we have at least one presidential contender saying we got nothing in the deal. (The five other major nations, three of them our allies, and a unanimous U.N. Security Council would beg to differ). He obviously has not read the treaty or he is using demagoguery. On the other side, to their credit, I’ve not heard anyone say we got 100 percent

Local Relay for Life a success thanks to community effort Dear Editor, The Relay for Life of Wabash County was a great success again this year thanks to the contributions and efforts of our entire community.

capitulation to our wishes. There are those who say we can’t trust Iran. The Reagan administration trusted them enough to sell them arms. It is perhaps a wonder that they trust us. After all it was with the help of our CIA that their elected government was overthrown in 1953 and replaced with a dictator who ruled them for 26 years. Also there is only one nation in the history of mankind that has used nuclear weapons to kill 100’s of thousands of civilians. Iran has signed the nonproliferation treaty binding them not to produce nuclear weapons, but which also gives them the right to produce nuclear energy.

Article provided More than 260 delegates from across the state met in Indianapolis recently to consider the policy that will guide Indiana Farm Bureau for the next year. “Delegates reaffirmed our quest to seek permanent and lasting property tax relief as we go into the next session of the Indiana General Assembly,” noted INFB President Don Villwock. The poli-

cy reads, “We support permanent and substantial measures to free Hoosiers from the burden of property taxes.” Delegates added language that supports lowering the property tax cap for farmland, farm buildings and machinery to 1 percent of assessed value. Currently, the cap for homesteads is 1 percent of assessed value, but farmland is capped at 2 percent, and all other property, including farm equipment, is

capped at 3 percent. Annexation is also a big concern – and it is directly tied to property taxes since in many cases, it is the “lack of tax revenues caused by the caps that have caused local leaders and administrators to expand their assessed valuation by annexing farmland,” Villwock explained. “That is a growing concern all across the state of Indiana.” The new policy states that “Municipalities

should have to collect signatures from 65 percent of the land holders in order for the area to be annexed.” Farm Bureau’s grassroots members rely on quality roads for transporting commodities and their high-investment equipment. Therefore, road funding was another important issue for delegates. The longest discussion of the day involved unmanned aerial vehicles as they affect agriculture. UAVs (also sometimes called “unmanned aircraft systems,” “UASs” or “drones”) are increasingly used in agriculture for crop scouting and gathering other agronomic data, but there are still very few regulations governing their commercial use. “Eventually, the regulatory framework will probably be pursued by the American Farm Bureau Federation rather than state by state. However, Farm Bureau members do have concerns for their own privacy and trespass by drones, which may be a state level discussion in the future,” Villwock said. “It’s still a new issue, it’s uncharted waters, and we’re building the rules as we go. It was interesting to see the level of concern that members have. And I think that will be a growing area of rulemaking by the Federal A v i a t i o n Administration,” he said. Also approved by delegates was language that seeks to clarify the roles of the Indiana State Fair Commission and the Indiana State Fair Board. At the federal level, the delegates approved language on crop insurance that will be sent to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s resolution committee. “They reemphasized the need for crop insurance on the national scale and reaffirmed crop insurance as the key safety net,” Villwock said.
