State Supreme Court visits Wabash Justices hear oral arguments in Hamilton County case By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Indiana Supreme Court took oral arguments Thursday, April 18, during a hearing at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. The court routinely hears a few cases each year outside its courtroom in the State Capitol Building in Indianapolis.
Thursday’s hearing dealt with the case of Katelin Eunjoo Seo vs the State of Indiana. In July 2017, Seo contacted the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Department alleging that she was the victim of a crime, and named the alleged perpetrator. As part of the investigation, she unlocked her smartphone and allowed a detective to review its contents. After the

County official explains primary procedure On May 7, there will be Primary elections held in the City of Wabash, Town of North Manchester, and the Town of LaFontaine. The primaries will be for Republican candidates only, Wabash County Clerk Lori Draper announced. There are Democratic candidates who have filed for office, but they are unopposed. The purpose for the Primary election as stated in Indiana law is for choosing candidates who will be the nominees of a political party for elected offices as stated in Indiana Code 3-5-1-2(3), she said. Since there are no Democrat races against each other the Democrats will not have a Primary ballot but will appear on all ballots for the Fall General Election. This is a city and town only Primary year. There will be no county, state or federal offices on the ballot. What this means for City of Wabash residents is the only contested races are for Wabash
review, police opted not to charge the perpetrator, and began investigating Seo instead. Seo was eventually charged with stalking and invasion of privacy for allegedly harassing the person she claimed committed the crime she initially reported. She also was charged with violating a protective order prohibiting her from contacting the individual.

Top students from all of Wabash County’s public and private high schools were recognized Thursday, April 18, during the annual Honor Students Luncheon. Sponsored by Grow Wabash County, the event took place in the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall. The luncheon is generally in the Center’s skating rink, but had to be moved upstairs because of the number of people attending. Indiana Supreme Court Justice Chris Goff, himself a Southwood High School graduate, was the keynote speaker. Goff, who earlier in the day participated in an Indiana Supreme Court hearing at the Ford Theater, congratulated the students for their success, but also had a message for the community and business leaders in attendance. “You have really put yourselves in a position where, I can sincerely say, you can do anything you want to do with your life,” Goff told the students. “I want you to hear me say that. You can do anything you want to do with your life.” (continued on page 5)

City gets bids for Ringel Ave. work By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Two firms submitted bids to build a bridge across a creek along Ringel Avenue when the Wabash Board of Public
Works and Safety met on April 18. By working on Ringel Avenue, located in the Northeast Business Park, the city will open space in the park for future development. J.D. Company Inc.,
Muncie, submitted a bid of $809,000, while Phend & Brown, Milford, bid $730,680.19. The board took the bids under advisement in order for them to be reviewed. In another matter,
the board approved an engineering agreement with United Consulting, the city’s engineering firm, for the third phase of the combined sewer overflow project. Because of an Indiana Department of Environmental Management mandate, communities around the state must separate their storm and sewer drains. The work will likely take place in 2020 and will be along Cass Street. While the project calls for work to stretch from the Wabash River north to Ferry Street, a portion of the work in the southern end of the project has already been completed. The area in question for this portion of the project, officials said, would be from Market Street north, with a few off shoots on some of the cross streets. The work, officials said, would coincide with resurfacing work that the Indiana Department of Transportation plans along the roadway.

Bass and Bucks marks 20 years school shooting teams. The two outdoor archery ranges have 3-D targets. One has 30 targets and the other has 40. “Year around we host events that bring hundreds of people to the community,” Josh said. “We started a first annual event last year that brought 171 people from 13 different states. “That was pretty cool for a first-year event, and we’re pretty excited to have it again for this year. It will be Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.” The facility plays host to the Wabash County 4-H Shooting Sports, Josh noted. “We have a S3DA youth archery squad that we run through the shop,” he continued. “It ranges from 50 to 80 kids from Wabash County and the other surrounding counties. They don’t have to be tied to
any specific school. We’ve got seven to eight schools in that.” The youth is something the family has been dedicated to helping every since the business opened. “Our long-term mission was to make sure we didn’t forget about the youth,” Glenn Butcher said. “Make sure the youth had the programming and keeping busy in continued on page 9

Over the last 20 years, Glenn and Sheila Butcher and their children, Tabitha and Josh, have seen many changes in the family business, Bass and Bucks. The business opened in 1999 in Lagro. “We started in Lagro, at what is now Zoomer’s, but was Pefley’s Farm Equipment,” Josh said, sitting behind a desk in one of the business’ showrooms. “Before that it was Sloan’s Sport Center. “We originally started there, just selling bait and archery equipment.” About a year later, the business moved to Southwood Avenue, behind Crystal Glass & Exteriors. In 2004, it moved to its present location, 4890 W.
Millcreek Pike. “There’s not much we could do in town and being on that landlocked property we were at,” Josh said. “Having 182 acres out here is a bit nicer.” The business is located on property that once housed Manor Care and a nearby restaurant. The actual business is located in the former restaurant. Other acreage is dedicated to a shooting range and a few outdoor archery ranges. It also has an indoor archery range, as well as a facility, the Star Lodge, that various groups use for excursions, receptions and other events. The indoor archery range handles targets up to 50 yards away. The shooting range can go up to 750 yards. It also houses a trap shooting range now used by Northfield and Southwood high

The City of Wabash’s annual spring clean-up will take place April 29-May 4. Pick-up will be divided into four sections, following the same route as weekly trash, Street Superintendent Scott Richardson said. Items will be picked up from treelawns and along city streets only. No pick-ups will take place in alleys. Items to be picked up should be in place by 7 a.m. on the day of pick-up or the items may not be picked up. Piles of items to be picked up should be no larger than 4-foot-by8-foot. Also, items for pick-up should be separate from brush piles. Brush will not be picked up the week of spring cleanup. “If residents miss their pick-up time, they have the option of taking it to a city-provided dumpster at the Wabash County Solid Waste District or take it back inside, Richardson said. The dumpster at the Wabash County Solid Waste District, 1101 Manchester Ave., will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. The dumpster will be manned, and those wishing to
leave items will be asked to provide proof of residence in the City. Items that will not be picked up are: batteries, paint, petroleum products, household chemicals, tires, appliances with Freon (appliances with red tags to denote Freon that was professionally removed, will be accepted), loose shingles, drywall and plaster, televisions, computers and other electronic devices. The Wabash County Solid Waste Management District is planning two tox-a-way days, one in North Manchester and the other in Wabash. Residents can take chemicals, tires, appliances, batteries, paint, petroleum products, televisions, computers, and all other electronic devices to be disposed of during those events. The North Manchester event will be from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 4 at the North Manchester Street Department, while the Wabash event will be from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 18 at the district office on Manchester Avenue. Richardson reminds residents that the street department sometimes will run behind schedule do to heavy amounts of trash or weather. He asks for residents be patient, as crews will get to every resident that sets items out for clean-up.

for a Democratic ballot there is none.” For the residents of North Manchester all districts are voted on by all registered voters living in the town so voters will have one contest to vote for which is a Republican race for Town Council District 2. There will be no Democratic bal-
lot in this town. The Town of LaFontaine has six Republican candidates for three positions on the Town Council and once again there is no Democratic ballot. Across Wabash County there are uncontested races for town offices in the Towns of Roann and Lagro and therefore will have no primaries in these towns.

Supreme Court against self incrimination. The court found her in contempt. To remove the contempt charge, the court ordered her to either unlock the phone or change the passcode to 1234, both of which she refused to do. Consequently, she remained in state custody. Seo appealed and the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s decision. The State of Indiana appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court, which granted the case a hearing. During the hearing, attorneys for Seo and the state presented their case to the five Indiana Supreme Court justices. Throughout their presentation, the justices asked a series of questions, primarily to better understand why the attorneys were arguing the case as they were. Each side had about 25 minutes to present their case, followed by a brief rebuttal. It will be some time before a
decision in the case is made. Before reaching a decision, the five justices – Chief Justice Loretta Rush, Justice Mark Massa, Justice Steven David, Justice Geoffrey Slaughter and Justice Chris Goff – will discuss the case amongst themselves. Eventually, one justice will be responsible for writing the court’s decision. If the decision is split, one of the dissenting justices will write that opinion. The court takes cases on the road to allow the public to see it in action. It also allows area schools to bring in students to better understand the workings of the court. At Thursday’s hearing, students from 20 area schools, some as far away as Fishers, filled the majority of the main floor of the Ford Theater. Following the hearing, the court opened the floor for questions from the public
...continued from Page 1 unrelated to the case it had just heard. Questions ranged from what made the justices interested in entering the legal profession to how a case ends up being heard by the Indiana Supreme Court. One student also asked what the next step would be if either the state or Seo and her attorneys were unhappy with the court’s decision. The entire theater, justices included, broke out into laughter when one student asked the members of the high court, “Have any of you ever been bribed.” With prior questions, Chief Justice Rush asked her various colleagues to answer the question. To the question about bribes, she said, “I think this is one we all should answer together. One, two three …” To which all five justices responded loudly, “No.”

Students honored The Justice told the students that when he graduated from Southwood in 1990, he was, at best, a B student. “I got my act together and decided I wanted to take my studying seriously,” he continued. Goff credited the Wabash community with giving him the foundation to assume a leadership position in the legal profession. “So I want you to feel my words today when I say again, you can do anything you want to do with your life,” he said. “I want to take a step back from that and also tell you with the utmost sincerity, that as you make this transition, especially those of you who are going to be living away from home, most of you are going to be in a new position where you won’t have a mom, dad, other loved one, grandma, grandpa, or even a teacher or boss who might have taken a particular interest in you, keeping on you and telling you that you need to do your work. “This is a time where you’re going to have to establish your independence. Moreover, you’re going to have to establish that you can be successful independently. So on that, that’s something that each of you have within you. But there will be a temptation to not, so keep that within you.” He urged the students to, as they make the transition, be open and not be afraid to admit if there’s something they don’t know. “My time in college, it was really four years that shaped me as a person, that shaped my perspective as a person,” Goff said. “I was able to take in so many other people’s experiences, and so this is something I hope you will take advantage of in the years to come.”

He also stressed to
the students how important Wabash is in their lives. “I want you to understand that you can do whatever you want in your life,” he said. “And, you can do whatever you want in your life not only because you’re smart, not only because you’re worthwhile, but because you have hundreds, if not thousands of people in this community who are invested in your success. “I want to suggest to you that it is places like Wabash County that can best serve, in
my humble opinion, as a launching pad to leadership in whatever industry, in whatever vocation, you want to pursue. As you embark on this new phase in your life, please keep that in mind. You are worthwhile and you’re capable and competent to do anything. You must stay the course. You must stay focused. But I want you to remember where you came from. “Keep your hometown in mind as a place where my end up landing.”

Students pitch business ideas to area judges By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Lillian Herrmann and her business, Millie & Mable, topped a field of 16 high school entrepreneurs on Tuesday at the High School Pitch Competition. Students from around the county pitched business ideas to a panel of five judges who, in the end, picked the top four to receive various awards. Second place went to Shop Fresh, while third went to Student Services. Fourth place was Bizzy Beez. “I’m very excited,” Herrmann, a Manchester High School freshman, said following the award ceremony. This was the second major victory for Herrmann and her business. In March she won the Innovate WithIN regional competition, hosted by the Indiana Economic Develoopment Corp, Indiana Department of Education and Ball State University. She went on to compete in the state finals on April 4 in Indianapolis. “After winning regionals and then going to state, this is pretty exciting that I’ve got to come this far,” she said. She believes her prior experience
helped her during the local competition. “It helped me a lot,” Herrmann said. “I definitely wasn’t as nervous as the others, because I knew what to expect.” The competition is set up much like the television show “Shark Tank.” The student entrepreneurs have five minutes to pitch their idea to a panel of judges. Once done, the judges then have five minutes to ask various questions of the students. During her presentation, Herrmann told the judges that she has had an interest in business ever since she was a young girl. Starting with a lemonade stand on her front porch, her business drive eventually morphed into Millie & Mable, which makes jewelry. She currently sells from her website, but now offers her goods in one boutique, Rhinestones and Roses Flowers and Boutique in North Manchester. Her goal is to eventually be located in five boutiques around the area. Herrmann’s jewelry sells from $4 to $15, though, under questioning from the judges, said she is considering expanding her offerings to include higher end product.
For winning the c o m p e t i t i o n , Herrmann, a Manchester High School freshman, received $2,000. Shop Fresh, composed of Wabash High School students Lucia Pena, Evelynn Gray, Shelby David and Olivia Lindsay, received $1,500. Student Services, composed of WHS students Alex Driscoll, Kallen Kelsheimer, Isabel France and James Booth, received $1,000. Southwood High School’s Landon Topliff, who pitched Bizzy Beez, received $500. The top four groups also received a Business in a Box, valued at $3,000, from Grow Wabash County, and $500 Ivy Tech Community College scholarship. Members of all 16 teams also received $500 scholarships from Manchester University. Judging the students were Keith Gillenwater, Lisa Gilman, Steve Franks, John Hoffman and Joe Messer. Messer, a Professor of Entrepeneurship at Manchester University, said it was difficult to choose the top four spots. “Even the people who weren’t in the top four had many great ideas,” he said. “It

Anybody could have won, but maybe they didn’t think about this or that. “But the final four kind of stood out.” Gillenwater, Grow Wabash County CEO,
agreed that choosing the final four was tough, noting that the judges were very close in their individual marks “There were kind of three bands,” he said. “You had a couple that just need some work. You had a
big chunk right in the middle. Then you had the four that we chose that were the obvious choice when you looked at the scores. “The right people won, but I’ll also tell you there were some really good ideas out there.”

Japanese visitors tour local sites
Visit is part of exchange program with City Schools
By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Students from the Yamate Gaukin Jr.-Sr. High School in Yokohama, Japan, spent Wednesday touring various sites in the City of Wabash.
The students are here as part of an International Exchange Program between their school and Wabash City Schools. The tour left the Welcome Center and made its first stop at Wabash City Hall
where they each received a gift package from Mayor Scott Long. The students also got to sit in the mayor’s spot in the Wabash City Council chamber where they took turns rapping the gavel. They also stopped in the mayor’s office where he showed off a few things to them. During his talk, Long briefly explained to the students the workings of his office. He also shared some personal background, including a picture of his grandson, which drew smiles on the faces of the students. Following the City Hall visit, the students boarded Wabash Trolly No.85 for a trip to the Wabash County YMCA. There, CEO Dean Gogolewski and VP of Operations Patty Godfroy showed
them around the facility. The students also spent some time shooting baskets at the YMCA basketball court, ran a lap around the running/walking track and some of the exercise equipment. From there, the trolly drove by the Inclusive Park and Paradise Spring Historic Park before stopping at the Riverfront Plaza where the students marveled at the unique water fountains, as well as taking photos of the Wabash River. The students questioned why the river was brown and dirty looking. Jennifer Long Dillon, Visit Wabash County’s tourism manager, explained that recent rains have caused soil from farmland lining the river to be swept down into the river, giving it its muddy
look. The next stop was at Bellazoa, where owner Darcy Vail discussed her shop with the youth, who also spent time checking out some of the clothing she had. Following lunch at Eugenia’s, the students toured the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater before heading to the Wabash County Courthouse and Wabash Carnegie Public Library for tours. They also stopped at the Wabash County Historical Museum before ending the tour at Parkview Wabash Hospital where they toured the new facility. The students are staying in Wabash for two weeks as part of the exchange program.

County approves bids for road salt By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com
County Highway Superintendent John Martin presented for the Wabash County Commissioners a recommendation to accept Detroit Salt Company’s salt bid for the 2019-20 season. The bid is for $95.58 per ton for 1,600 tons of salt. The Commissioners approved the salt bid. Martin also pre-
sented two utility permits from Century Link for the Commissioners’ approval. One permit is to replace a deteriorated cable along County Road 300 East, north 4,500 feet from State Road 16. The other permit is to replace 325 feet of cable along County Road 400 North, starting 2,950 feet west of County Road 700 West. Living Well in
Anniversary ...continued from Page 3 outdoor activities, instead of having them going down different roads in life. “You don’t have to hunt. We never said you have to hunt. There’s a lot of people who like to shoot archery and like to shoot guns as a stress reliever.” In addition to youth activities, Bass and Bucks also has hosted numerous training sessions for agencies ranging from local departments to the Department of Natural Resources, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the military and the Secret Service, Glenn noted. “They’ve used the island (the family owns an island in the middle of the Wabash River) and the water to train before going on their missions,” he said. Glenn said the business is not done growing. The Butchers are currently developing plans to build a reception hall. “If we do this, we want to hold at least 1,000 people,” he said. “To do a venue this size in the county, there’s not one that is a thousand person venue. We’ve got the facility, the parking and the space to do it. We’ve got all the plans and are talking to architects right now.” The family also has the Star Lodge on its property, a building it rescued from the former Girl Scout camp, Camp Kokiwanee. ACRES Land Trust took over the camp, and offered the Butchers the building. It was taken apart, transported to Bass & Bucks and rebuilt, a
process that took about 18 months. Working with family can be challenging, Glenn said. “But over the years, all in all, it’s been very good,” he added. Josh said each family member has their own specific duties, “so we’re not trying to do each other’s job.” Josh oversees the archery area, while sister Tabitha oversees the firearms. Glenn oversees dayto-day operations while Sheila does the accounting. Tabitha believes working with family is a blessing. “We’re very social people, as far as with our customers and stuff,” she said. “We’ve pretty much given everything we have to this property. To spend time together, a lot of time it’s during work. We’re fortunate to have that opportunity to spend time together. It’s hard to otherwise.” Sheila believes she and Glenn are blessed to be able to work with their adult children, something many don’t have. “We’re living the American dream, when you think generational,” she said. “To us, hunting is a generational thing, so to be able to pass that on to the next generation is pretty cool.” Tabitha added, jokingly, “We never wanted our parents to have empty nest syndrome, so we stayed.” The business is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Thursday and Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Wabash County CEO Beverly Ferry presented a 5311 Public Transportation Grant 2019 first quarter report for $104,953. Sheriff Ryan Baker gave his weekly jail report at the meeting. The jail’s average daily population was 119 with 24 new bookings and 14 transports. Wabash County
is housing 48 inmates in Miami County and 10 in Elkhart. The jail’s peek population last week was 122. The jail’s total prisoner count as of Monday morning was 125, with 182 inmates total. That number included 40 Level 6 felons. That number has steadily risen in
recent weeks, Baker reported, going from 25 to 32 to the current number of 40. The county’s average prisoner count was 178, and the jail was over capacity 100 percent of the time. County EMA Director Keith Walters reported that he received notice from the National
Weather Service that Wabash County has been re-certified as a storm-ready community. The county has to re-apply for that certification every two years. Walters also informed commissioners that he has about a dozen legacy radios that are not
useable in the county anymore due to technology changes. The radios would be destined for Solid Waste, but Walters said this weekend there is the Miami County Amateur Radio Club’s HAM Fest, and asked for permission to attempt to sell the radios at the festival.

Shooting teams open season By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Members of the Northfield and Southwood high school trap shooting teams have started competition in their inaugural season. The students shoot Wednesday evenings at Bass and Bucks. Competitions take place at 5, 6 and 7 p.m. The teams are coached by Jeff Springer and Todd Eltzroth. Both coaches stressed that safety is of the utmost importance for the students and spectators as well. Students must wear eye and ear protection while shooting, they noted. In addition, the students are only allowed to load their shotguns just prior to their turn trying to shoot one of the clay targets. Students stand on rubber mats in a gravel area, several yards behind the machine that throws the targets into the air. The target is released by one of the coaches at the command of the individual shooter. The machine rotates and flings the target skyward in any direction. The other coach then calls whether the shooter hit or missed the target. There are five students participating in each competition. After one round of shooting – each of the

five shooters get a chance to shoot during a round – the students then change shooting pads, moving to the pad to their right. They then shoot another round. This continues until each shooter has shot from each of the five pads. The students supply their own ammunition and shotguns for the co-ed sport.
Southwood student Paul LaBonte said he’s had his shotgun for several years and decided to try to do something beside hunt with it. This is his first time target shooting. Another student, Northfield’s Tyler Whitesel, said he’s been target shooting for sometime. “I’ve enjoyed it a

home for a while,” he said, “so why not come do it on a weekly basis and have fun with my friends.” Southwood’s Grant Holloway agreed. “I’ve been shooting clay pigeons for some time,” he said. “It’s nice to come out here and have some friendly competition and see if you can hit some targets. His teammate Brandon Lawson said he was’t really interested in other extracurricular activities. “I’ve always been interested in shooting and thought his was a perfect opportunity to have some from.” Southwood’s Allison Hipskind is the only female student on the team. “I’ve been doing clay shoots at home for a couple years
now,” she said. “It’s just something I’ve always enjoyed doing.” All said they were happy that the school district approved trap shooting teams. The scores, according to coach Springer, are recorded electronically to a central database. In essence, the teams are competing in a virtual competition. The teams that Northfield and Southwood compete against shoot at their own shooting range. Their scores are entered into the same database and the scores are compared to determine the winner. Bass and Bucks is located at 4890 W. Millcreek Pike, Wabash.

VIEWPOINT National Day of Prayer planned Dear Editor: The 68th Annual Observance of the National Day of Prayer is Thursday, May 2. This year’s theme is “Pray For America: Love One Another”. It is based on John 13:34, which says “Love one another just as I have loved you.” On Thursday, May 2, millions of Americans will join together to pray for our nation. The annual National Day of Prayer, established by an act of Congress, signed into law by President Truman, amended and extended by President Reagan, is a preeminent opportunity to acknowledge corporately as spiritual sons and daughters of
the founding fathers, our dependence upon the Creator. It is a chance to cast our lot with God at this critically decisive moment in America’s history. Prayer has made all the difference in the past; it is time to prove that it can make the same difference today as we choose to Love One Another in prayer. Wabash will observe the National Day of Prayer by offering two events. The first event will be held Thursday, May 2, from 12:10 p.m. to 12:50 p.m. on the north side of the Wabash County Courthouse. This will be a time to pray together for our community in the seven areas of influence: Government,
Military, Media Arts, Business, Education, Church and Family. The event is being sponsored by the Wabash Area M i n i s t e r i a l Association. The second event will be a Community Solemn Assembly at 7:00 p.m. in Legacy Hall at the Honeywell Center, 275 West Market Street, Wabash. This will be a time to come together as a community of believers. During our time together we will worship in song and spend time repenting of personal and corporate sin. We will also remember the special blessings the Lord has bestowed upon us as well as anticipate the future blessings to come.
Urbana Lions appreciate support from the community Dear Editor: More than 250 people participated in the Urbana Lions Club Pork Chop Dinner on April 17. The Lions Club wishes to thank all for making the event a success! Interested in becoming a member? Like or comment on Facebook at Urbana Indiana Lions Club.

“Our Communities. Your College.” That’s the promise of Ivy Tech Community College. And that’s why we believe Community College Month, which takes place in April, is worth celebrating well beyond our campuses. Since our founding in 1963, Ivy Tech has prepared students for the workforce or transfer to a four-year university and strengthened the economy by aligning our credentials with employer needs. With the adoption of our new strategic plan, we have affirmed this commitment and made tremendous strides toward our goal of awarding more than 50,000 highquality credentials annually. With more than 40 locations offering high-value certificates, certifications and associate degrees, we’re making an impact in communities large and small, urban and rural, and in every corner of the state. Here are some of the accomplishments made by our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners we’re celebrating this month: Our successful work with Governor Eric Holcomb, the Department of W o r k f o r c e Development, and the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE) in developing and executing the Next Level Jobs initiative, engaging with local employers to identify high-impact, short-term credentials and non-credit training required to prepare Indiana’s workforce. More than 8,000 Hoosiers are enrolled in these high demand credentials. Our partnership with the ICHE and other state-supported higher education
institutions to enhance transfer opportunities for students. As a result, Indiana students save more than $10,000 and as much as $50,000 on the first two years of college when they graduate from Ivy Tech before moving on to a bachelor’s degree. Delivering dual credit to more than 61,000 high school students with the potential of saving more than $10 million per year on college tuition. In fact, Purdue found in its own study that students who came with credits from Ivy Tech performed even better than their other students—and were more likely to graduate on time. Our “Achieve Your Degree” partnership with the Indiana Chamber and more than 150 employers offering free tuition for their employees to pursue degrees and credentials that will boost their careers without requiring employees to “upfront” the money. Our work with the Indiana Department of Correction to deliver high wage, high demand credentials to incarcerated individuals as they transition toward release and prepare themselves for a new start. Nearly 100 percent of these ex-offenders are employed for a true second chance. Our transition to predominantly 8week courses is helping adults stay focused and complete faster. And we will continue to reinvent higher education to better serve our students, employers and communities. Our continued focus on cost savings and fundraising while working to ensure public funding provided to Ivy Tech remains an excellent return on investment. President Sue Ellspermann is Ivy Tech Community College’s ninth president

MU student earns scholarship From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — The Indiana Society for Health and Physical Educators (INSHAPE) has selected a Manchester University student for the 2019 Jean Lee/Jeff Marvin Collegiate Scholarship. Casey Arseneau of Donovan, Ill., has served at Manchester as a Fellowship of Christian Athletes executive board member, a volunteer with the Center for Service Opportunities, a Student Orientation Leader and library desk assistant. “Physical education chose me,” she said. “In one of my classes, we teach homeschooled kids physical education every Thursday. Going through this class and observing
other classes in the local schools showed me how much physical education can positively impact students in a variety of ways. I look forward to empowering students to make healthy lifestyle choices and build interpersonal skills.” She is on track to graduate in 2021, and plans to begin her career teaching physical education and health education. She is interested in coaching, and her goals include earning a master’s degree in sport management and becoming an athletic director. A longer-term objective is to transition to the role of elementary school teacher before she retires and mentor the next generation of teaching professionals. Each year, INSHAPE
awards up to six $1,000 academic scholarships to undergraduate students enrolled full time in an Indiana college or university. Recipients will be recognized at the INSHAPE Hall of Fame Banquet on Nov. 3 at the Grand Park Events Center in Westfield, Ind., during the association’s state conference. The scholarship is for expenses associated with tuition and books for the 2019-2020 school year.

Roann news The evening was a celebration of 150 years of the Methodist Women’s work. Kathie Grandstaff gave a history of how the group was formed 150 years ago by two wives of missionaries serving in India. The women saw a great need to give medical care to women and bring education to women in India. Six years later began the movement to begin sending missionaries to Sierra Leone in Africa. This missionary group became powerful and over the years has sent hundreds of missionaries all over the world. In 1893, the women organized a home missionary organization which worked to change situations for women and children
within our own country. Today the work of United Methodist Women is not just about service, it’s about worship, about standing up and stepping up, making our voices heard. The hope is that voices will positively impact the lives of women, children and youth around the world. Today the United Methodist Women at 800,000 women strong.

USDA announcement triggers second dairy safety net payment From the USDA WASHINGTON — USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) announced this week that the February 2019 income over feed cost margin was $8.22 per hundredweight (cwt.), triggering the second payment for dairy producers who purchase the appropriate level of coverage under the new but yet-to-be established Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program. DMC, which replaces the Margin Protection Program for Dairy, is a voluntary risk management program for dairy producers that was authorized by the 2018 Farm Bill. DMC offers protection to dairy producers when the difference between the all milk price and the average feed cost (the margin) falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer. Sign up for DMC will open by mid-June
of this year. At the time of sign up, producers who elect a DMC coverage level between $8.50 and $9.50 would be eligible for a payment for February 2019. For example, a dairy operation that chooses to enroll an established production history of 3 million pounds (30,000 cwt.) that elects the $9.50 coverage level on 95 percent of production would receive $3,040 for February. Sample calculation: $9.50 - $8.22 margin = $1.28 difference; $1.28 x 95 percent of production x 2,500 cwt. (30,000 cwt./12) = $ 3,040 DMC premiums are paid annually. The calculated annual premium for coverage at $9.50 on 95 percent of a 3-millionpound production history for this example would be $4,275. Sample calculation: 3,000,000 x 95 percent = 2,850,000/100 = 28,500 cwt. x 0.150 premium fee = $4,275
The dairy operation in the example calculation will pay $4,275 in total premium payments for all of 2019 and receive $6,626.25 in Dairy Margin Coverage payments for January and February combined. Additional payments will be made if calculated margins remain below the $9.50/cwt level. All participants are also required to pay an annual $100 administrative fee in addition to any premium, and payments will be subject to a 6.2% reduction to account for federal sequestration. Operations making a one-time election to participate in DMC through 2023 are eligible to receive a 25 percent discount on their premium for the existing margin coverage rates. For the example above, this would reduce the annual premium by $1,068.75. “The Dairy Margin
Coverage program will provide an important financial safety net for dairy producers, helping them weather shifting milk and feed prices,” FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce said. “We continue to work diligently to imple-
ment the DMC program and other FSA programs authorized by the 2018 Farm Bill.” On December 20, 2018, President Trump signed into law the 2018 Farm Bill, which provides support, certainty and stability to our
nation’s farmers, ranchers and land stewards by enhancing farm support programs, improving crop insurance, maintaining disaster programs and promoting and supporting voluntary conservation. FSA is committed to implementing these
changes as quickly and effectively as possible, and today’s updates are part of meeting that goal. Additional details about DMC and other Farm Bill program changes can be found at farmers.gov/farmbill.
19 attend sorority meeting Article provided MARION — The Alpha Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International met on March 9, 2019, at the Tomahawk Restaurant in the Meshingomeaia Golf and Social Club in Marion. Nineteen members, representing Grant, Huntington, Wabash and Whitley counties were present, as well as four guests. The tables were decorated with centerpieces of red roses, with small red cups of mints at each place. The meeting was called to order at 8:30 a.m. by President Sue Corbin. She thanked the hostess committee, which included Margaret Wilson, Karen Miller, Mary Pahmeier, Martha Marley, Donna Myer and Carol Winterholter. The guests were introduced Karla Aikins, program presenter; Laura Brubaker, the Esther Mae Ashley Scholarship winner; Sally Brubaker, Laura’s mother, and Emma Jean Van Ness, who was a member of the former Beta Iota Chapter. Sue Corbin gave the opening thought, quotes from “Attitude”, by Haim Ginott. Roxanne Thomas offered prayer.
Members then had breakfast, prepared and served by the restaurant staff. The program, entitled “The Pastor’s Wife Wears Biker Boots,” was given by Karla Aiken, author, educator, mother of two autistic twin boys, and a pastor’s wife who enjoys riding her own motorcycle. In her presentation she showed many pictures, including her experiences raising the two boys, who are now young adults, m o t o r c y c l e experiences, and pictures of various celebrities who achieved goals later in life. In her words, “You never know where the road will take you.” Karla is the author of several other books, including “A Pair of Miracles,” “O Canada,” “Her Story,” “Jacques Cartier,” and “Sacagawea.” Donna Ott presented the Esther Mae Ashley Scholarship to Laura Brubaker. Laura is a senior in college, working toward an elementary teaching degree. She has volunteered in Festival Planning Committees for six years and as a volunteer camp counselor for four years. Most of her volunteering has involved children. Her goal in teaching is to
inspire children to “dream big and accomplish great things in life,” After the Scholarship Award, there was a short break for everyone to check out the two tables of silent auction items and place their bids. One hundred dollars of the money raised will go to international projects and the remainder to grants-inaids and/ or scholarships. The business meeting was called to order at 10:30. Donna Ott moved and Roxanne Thomas seconded a motion to approve the February minutes. The treasurer’s report was filed for review. Barbara Overdeer made a motion to approve the budget that was presented at the February meeting. Karen Miller seconded. The budget was approved. Reports from the following committees were given: chapter project, membership, program, personal growth, professional affairs, legislative, chapter notebooks, cheer and standing rules. Ann Ambler led memberss in singing some DKG songs, the first of which was “We’re Leading On”, sung to the tune of “Londonderry Air”. Others were: ”We’re
Marching Into Spring”, “Alpha Zeta Is Our Name” and “Alpha Zeta, Alpha Zeta Hey, hey, hey, We’re alive!” Apple banks are to be brought to the May Meeting. Possible categories for judging include: shiniest, most original, true to the variety, sweetest, old fashion, most precise, all-American and festive. The following announcements were made: The Alpha Epsilon State Convention will be April 26-28, 2019, at the DoubleTree Hotel, Lawrenceburg, Fall Arts Festival, Nov. 1516, at Our Lady of Fatima Retreat House, Indianapolis. The Alpha Zeta September meeting is on Sept. 21, 2019, in Warren. Alpha Zeta dues will be collected at the May meeting. Before adjournment, the members claimed the auction items on which their bid was the highest, and had fun opening them and seeing what others had bid on. The meeting was adjourned with the singing of the Delta Kappa Gamma song. The next meeting will be on May 4, at the Wellbroke of Wabash, 20 John Kissiger Drive, Wabash. Nancy Kolb represented Wabash County at the meeting.

Remember to clean, drain, and dry this boating season From the DNR As the weather warms and more people get out on their boats, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources reminds boaters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species by cleaning, draining, and drying their watercraft when they are finished on the water. “This week we celebrate Invasive Species Awareness week by highlighting how the public can do their part in protecting
Indiana’s lakes and rivers from aquatic invasive species,” said Eric Fischer, aquatic invasive species coordinator for DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are nonnative aquatic animals, plants, microorganisms, and pathogens that can hurt native aquatic plants and wildlife, harming the environment, human health, and businesses. They arrive in a variety of ways, including on trailers, on boat hulls
and motors, on fishing gear, and through the pet trade. Clean: When leaving the water, clean all equipment that touched the water. This includes watercraft hulls, trailers, shoes, waders, life vests, engines and other gear. Remove all visible plants, algae, animals and mud. Drain: Drain accumulated water from watercraft or gear, including live wells and transom wells, before leaving the ramp or public access point.
Dry: Once home, let all gear dry for at least five days before using it in a different water body.
If you suspect you have found an aquatic invasive plant, fish, mollusk, or crustacean, report it to the
Division of Fish & W i l d l i f e at dnr.IN.gov/6385.htm , through the Report IN app
at eddmaps.org/indiana, or by calling the Invasive Species Hotline at 866-NOEXOTIC (866-663-9684).
Richvalley UMW meets Article provided The Richvalley United Methodist Women met recently at the church with president Amy Lauer welcoming everyone with words from the UMW Prayer Calendar about stewardship and prayer. Members repeated the UMW Purpose. Cindi Price served refreshments as well as
giving the lesson “Sisterhood of Grace.” Women of the Bible were highlighted; Questions were asked – are we persistent, inclusive, community-minded, generous, willing to serve? Blessings for all are received in the name of Jesus. Prayer followed the meaning of Grace and Shalom.
Reports were given by Vickie Thrush and Ruth Dyson. Members brought canned goods/food items for FISH. Jane Long passed cards to sign for community folks. Deanna Unger passed a signup sheet for the May 5 mother/daughter happening. Patty Sausaman and Amy Lauer will
assist in planning. An interesting report was distributed with goals and figures of giving from the district UMW treasurer. Carolyn Maxwell gave closing devotions with humor from Mark Lowry and Easter thoughts. Elaine Leach explained God from the view of an eight-yearold.
