MSD board gets public input on declining enrollment fight By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A few hundred Wabash County citizens gathered at Northfield and Southwood high schools Monday and Wednesday nights, Aug. 15 and Aug. 17, for the MSD of Wabash County public forums. MSD students and parents joined Wabash County taxpayers, local community leaders and other concerned citizens at the two-day event. Many prepared questions and comments for the MSD School Board about its plans to combat declining

enrollment. The two forums were created to answer questions about the Board’s initial decision to reconfigure Northfield and Southwood high schools into one school and close Sharp Creek Elementary in the 2017-2018 school year. The Board’s rescinded its decision on Aug. 9, following the Indiana’s Public Access Counselor’s advisory opinion announcement that the decision violated the Open Door Law. Although the forum was originally advertised as multiple small

group discussions, the Board expanded the evening to include an open discussion segment as well as a short presentation that included information about the possible reconfiguration plan. The presentation also provided information about other options the Board had explored prior to its initial decision to reconfigure on July 12 and a possible a shuttle bus concept as a busing option for the reconfiguration. The Aug. 17 public forum can be watched on Wabash Web TV. “Before we begin, I’d like to say (continued on page 24)

General Motors (GM) will invest $91 million in the GM Marion Metal Center over the next several years, officials announced Monday, Aug. 22. Established in 1956, the plant provides steal blanks, stampings and sub-assemblies for a variety of GM products. The multimillion-dollar investment will go toward updating the plant’s existing equipment, with expansion expected to start later this year and be completed by 2017. The investment will also preserve more than 1,000 jobs at the site, according to Dan Hermer, GM North American manufacturing manager. “I think what it’ll do is preserve jobs that are here,” Hermer told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s an investment in dyes for future programs essentially and it will continue to make the plant competitive and provide for the future. “The people here (at the Marion Metal Center) earn the work that they get. They continue to build excellent products for General Motors and they serve many of the plants that produce GM vehicles. So we believe that it’s a smart investment for General Motors.” In addition to the future investment, officials also announced that GM has invested more than $116 million at the plant since 2014, according to Hermer. “This, just again, reflects the commitment and the (continued on page 30)

Weekend events keep downtown busy By Emma Rausch and Joseph Slacian emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Rain or shine, everything at the 19th annu-

al Wabash Garden Fest remained rosy on Saturday morning, Aug. 20. The festival attracted hundreds of people to the Paradise Spring

Historical Park with its variety of stalls, which sold various plants, locally made goods, t-shirts, candles and more. Originally called the

Herb Fest, the annual event received a name change this year in hopes that it’d draw a larger crowd this year and years to come, according to Lisa Betzner, festival cochair. “It’s been the Herb Festival for about 17 years and we (the event committee) felt that maybe that was not the draw we wanted to bring in more people, more visitors, more vendors,” Betzner told The Paper of Wabash County. “We’re going toward more of a home and garden theme like you see in the big cities, though ours will never be inside. “One of the biggest draws down here are the flowers, bushes, the trees that we sell,” she continued. “You can ask any of those vendors. They come back because they sell out. … So that’s kind of

Ashley Robinson points out interesting plants to her daughter Lily, 8, at the 19th annual Wabash Garden Fest. Originally called the Herb Fest, the event experienced a name change this year to include all aspects of gardening such as decorations and foliage. Photo by Emma Rausch where we got the direction to go toward the yard and the garden theme, and the Solid Waste Management District has been such a huge part of this festival now that we started to include recycle, up-cycle (as a theme) too.” The festival transitioned seamlessly due to various returning vendors that already sold repurposed common house items, like broken shovels and old doors, as garden decorations, according to Betzner. The Chair Affair also followed the theme prior to the festival’s direction change. “The Chair Affair, that’s always kind of been a recycle, up-cycle charity fundraiser,” Betzner said. “So we’re just trying to bring it all together and get a theme, go forward and maybe draw a bigger variety of vendors and visitors.” Makayla Ridgeway, 2016 Wabash County Festivals Queen, assisted with the Chair Affair by encouraging festival-goers to vote for their favorite chair. “I was excited when I won (the crown) and part of the reason for that is because I love coming to this and I love always getting a succulent for my dorm room,” she said. “So I am really excited that I got to be a part of it this year.” The Garden Fest not only provided eventgoers with shopping opportunities, but educational ones as well. “Today, I think the

most successful thing was our Wee Garden, which is the kids’ tent sponsored by Metal Source,” Betzner said, “and then that the programs that we had today, we cannot believe how many people participated in them and it’s all free, it’s something to take home. If you ask anyone, they’ll tell you it was fun.” In addition to the festival programs, vendors like Gary Norman used the event as an opportunity to teach people about honeybees and their importance to the ecosystem. Norman, beekeeper for Lagro-based honey producer Country Creek, demonstrated how bees made honey by using an observation hive, a honeycomb set in a glass box. “I teach as a profession so I love to teach,” Norman told The Paper. “This allows people to see what honeybees do in their hive, what the processes are of making the honey, and sometimes we’ll even get the queen down here and sometimes you’ll see her laying eggs. “So it kind of draws people in and educates them and then they can also buy honey.” Norman and his crew have participated in the festival for nearly 17 years since it was founded in 1997, he said. “I started bees in about 1999 and I can’t remember when I started bringing the observation hive (continued on page 3)

The people are happy. The weather is cooperating so far,” Cruise-in committee member Virgil Baldridge said. Rain threatened the event Friday evening, but after delivering just a few drops of rain, the dark clouds rolled by and the show

went on as planned. “Over 200 cars last night and hopefully have that many today,” Baldridge said. While the number of cars on display remained consistent, the public crowd that usually lines the streets were missing Friday. “The people didn’tcome out like it used to,” Baldridge said. “I guess they were afraid it was going to rain.

DAV adds second van to fleet By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash County veterans will now find it easier to arrange transportation to doctor appointments around the state, thanks to the addition of a second van to the local Disabled American Veterans van fleet. The second van was made available through a donation from Hoosiers Helping Heroes and the Military Order of Purple Hearts. The van was unveiled during a brief ceremony on Friday, Aug. 19, at the Wabash County Solid Waste Management facility, where the vehicles are stored. Hoosier Helping Heroes was founded by Karen “Montana” Speicher Weimer and George Dean. “Karen and George Dean decided they would do something to help the war effort and help the men overseas” he father, James Speicher said during the ceremony. “They decided they would start out and just help Indiana people and send packages to them. They started getting addresses and spreading the word around.” Over the years,the group sent out more than 9,000 care packages, and as word of their organization spread donations to it increased. About one year ago, Mrs. Speicher Weimer was diagnosed with cancer. “Doctors advised her she didn’t need the stress so she should close it down or do something with it,” her husband, Rex Weimer said. “They were afraid that if someone else took it over they wouldn’t have the same values and so they decided

Photo by Joseph Slacian t o close it down. It was a mutual decision on what to do with money and how to disperse it.” Larry Shaw of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, picks up the story. “She was taking her cancer treatments up in Fort Wayne, and she was seeing the DAV vans bringing veterans in,” he said. Mrs. Speicher Weimer contacted Shaw and said she thought his organization did great things for veterans, but unfortunately it received little recognition for its efforts. To help the organiza-

tion, he said, she wanted to donate the unused funds from Hoosier Helping Hoosiers to the Military Order of the Purple Heart with the understanding that it would be used to purchase a van to help the DAV purchase a second van for Wabash County veterans. Shaw said he contacted state officials from the Military Order of the Purple Heart and made arrangements for the donation. “I picked up the van in Marion one month ago and it was in service the very next day,” said Herb Mullen, the

DAV’s ride coordinator in Wabash County. “We had a veteran who had a doctor’s appointment that would have had to be canceled without the van. “It’s been a real, real help to our county.” As many as 10 veterans have taken advantage of the service in one week, Mullen said. The van will take local veterans to and from doctor’s appointments at VA hospitals and clinics around the state. “We’re doing more driving to Indianapolis now that we’ve got both vans,” he said. In the past, the veteran had to be at the Marion VA facility by 6 a.m. so he or she could switch vans for one bound for Indianapolis. They would then be required to stay in Indianapolis until all the van riders had their appointments. The local van would then meet the veteran back in Marion for a return trip to Wabash County. “This way we can pick the veteran up at his home and take him straight down there,” Mullen said. “We take him down there and as soon as his appointment is over, bring him back home.”

The local service has seven drivers, including Mullen. “And believe it or not, even with six other drivers I’m sometimes scratching to find drivers,” he said. The service received its first van about three years ago, and already has more than 60,000 miles on. The new van, in service for just a month, has 1,000 miles on it. Any veterans in need of a ride should contact Mullen, 260-4462375.

Wabash library presents ‘cheese-making in a nutshell’ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

~ QUALITY FABRICS ~ Specializing in cottons for quilting 1604 S. Wabash St. • Wabash 260-563-3505 www.colorsgonewild.com

The Wabash Carnegie Library hosted a cheese-making class on Wednesday, Aug. 17, and instructor Mark Lyons thought it was “a Gouda idea” to make it as cheesy as possible. Nearly 30 people were in attendance as Lyons, a Green Thumb at Your Service garden coach from Palatine, Ill., led the group in simple culinary

instruction while also cracking cringe-worthy puns. “Either the string’s untwisting or we have a poltergeist,” he said referring to the bag of cheese curds that hung from a cabinet door. “Now if we were making a chicken dish it’d be a poultry-geist.” Lyons demonstrated how to make lemon cheese while also providing an overview of various steps used throughout the cheesemaking process. From the importance of milk to using the right type of bacteria, all steps will vary depending on the cheese and they will be especially different between hard and soft cheeses, he explained. There are so many types of cheese that it’s nearly impossible to name them all. “If you go worldwide, there are so many varieties of cheese out there that if I was to start naming them yesterday, I wouldn’t finish them tomorrow,” Lyons said. “The former president of France Charles de Gaulle was once quot-

Mark Lyons (right) ties a string around cheesecloth in preparation of separating the curds and whey with the help of an audience member. Photo by Emma Rausch ed saying, ‘How do you expect me to bring order to a country that has 300 different kinds of cheese?’ And we’re just talking about France, not the United States or anywhere else.” Following the class, the group had a chance to try the lemon cheese as well as Lyons’ other homemade cheeses such as Manchego. Class attendee Cindy Parman told The Paper she learned so much from the presentation. “I loved the class. It seems like it’s a lot of work to make cheese

and it’s a little bit easier to go buy it,” she said with a laugh. “No, I loved (the class) and I learned so much. And did you know, this is something I just learned, there’s only one sheep in the United States that you can milk.” Library program manager Rachel Parks said the cheese-making class was better received than expected. “When we first introduced it, I thought it sounded like something that our (community) would be into because artesian sub-

jects are usually interesting, but the more people that kept signing up I thought, ‘Oh my goodness. This is going to be great,’” she told The Paper. “Almost everyone signed up showed up. “We try to find programs that will relate to the biggest crowd … and this one actually surprised me. I didn’t necessarily think it’d have such a diverse turnout, age-wise, men and women, but I was really excited about that.”

No one attends school budget hearing By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com No one attended a public hearing Monday night on the 2017 Wabash City Schools budget. The budget, as advertised, stands at $13.3 million, according to the district’s Business Manager Matt Stone. The largest portion of the budget, the General Fund, stands at $9.7 million. Other

portions of the budget include the Debt Service Fund, at $1.5 million, Capital Projects Fund, $ 1 9 6 , 2 8 2 , Transportation Fund, $652,600, and Bus Replacement Fund, $176,619. The General Fund pays for the general operating expenses for a school district, including such things as salaries. The City School’s General Fund is the lowest it’s been since 2000, Stone

noted. “But we haven’t lost any students in that time,” he continued. “That is the lowest budget since the year 2000.” Stone also noted that the district is facing property tax cap that could take upward of $800,000. “If you believe the projections, ours are going to skyrocket,” he said. “This year we were affected by $97,000. Next year, they’re projected at

$802,000. No one else around here is affected like that, except for the city itself. So the city itself and Wabash City Schools are the only ones that are affected like that in the county. And, if that’s true, that’s going to be a big hit.” Areas affected by the property tax caps would be everything but the General Fund. The next step for the budget is next Monday, Aug. 22, when a public hearing will take place before the Wabash City Council. Under state law, the Council must have a budget hearing since it is the panel that appoints the Wabash City Schools board. It will be given preliminary approval by the City Schools board in September, followed by final approval by the Wabash City Council on Sept. 26. The board also had public hearings on the district’s Capital Projects Fund Plan and the Bus Replacement Plan. No one from the public spoke at either hearing.

MU to dedicate Peace Pole in memory of students killed in crash From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER – Manchester University President Dave McFadden announced that a Peace Pole will be dedicated to three students killed in a traffic accident earlier this year. In mid-September, family members of the students – Nerad Mangai, Brook “BK” Dagnew and Kirubel Hailu – will visit the North Manchester campus. While they are here, there will be a brief memorial service and dedication of the Peace Pole at the site of the future Intercultural Center. This will be at 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, at College Avenue and East Street. McFadden will share plans for a new Intercultural Center for which the University is raising funds. Other Manchester speakers will include Michael Dixon, director of intercultural services; Bekah Houff, University pastor; and Benson Onyeji, professor of political science. Mangai was from Nigeria, and Dagnew and Hailu were from Ethiopia. They were killed early Feb. 21 when they were struck by a vehicle while they were dealing with a flat tire on Interstate 69 in Grant County. “Their relatives are

traveling a great distance to be with us because our love has helped them through these difficult months. It is my hope that they find further comfort and healing during their visit,” McFadden said in an email to the MU community.

The Peace Pole will remain at the site until construction begins on the new Intercultural Center next year. That facility will include a permanent memorial to the students inside and, when the building is finished, the Peace Pole will be reinstalled perma-

nently outside. “I can think of no better symbol to reflect Manchester’s values than a Peace Pole. And I can think of no greater testament to learning from differences than a new Intercultural Center. From that special place, the spirit of Nerad, BK

and Kirubel will continue to enrich our lives,” McFadden said. A Peace Pole is a monument that displays the message May Peace Prevail on Earth” on one face and then translations on other faces. In this case, languages of significance to the students will be featured.

Brian Regan returns to make Wabash laugh By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Inter nationally touring comedian Brian Regan will be back in Wabash on Thursday, Sept. 8, for his fourth performance on the Honeywell Center Ford Theater stage. Touring nonstop since 2005, Regan said he never stops creating new jokes to crack on the next stage, or even a stage he’s returning to. “Since the last time I performed there (in Wabash), I’ve written one new adjective and I’m looking forward to sharing it with the audience,” Regan joked in a phone interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “No. I’m playing around. I sound boring when I say this but (my show) it’s the same old, same old.” This year, Regan’s

tour has taken him across the border to Canada for the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and to Jamestown, N.Y., for the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival. “In addition to doing my regular shows out on the road, it’s also fun to do these special kind of shows as well,” he said. Although he’s now a seasoned comedian, Regan’s interests in comedy first began while attending college “for the wrong reason.” “I was in college and one of the first memories having to do with me being a comedian was taking a speech class,” Regan said, “and I used to try to make them funny and one of the first times I got the class laughing, when I was walking back to the dorm afterward and I remember

thinking to myself ‘I don’t feel like this when I’m walking back from Biology class.’ I was walking on air. “I was making something happen back there that I liked, that I want more of. So that’s kind of what got the ball rolling. “I’ve always said that my four years in college were probably the most pivotal fouryear stretch in my life and I was a terrible student,” he continued with a chuckle, “but still the social education and the lifeenlightening education that I got was valuable because that’s where I realized that I wanted to be a comedian and that’s when I started becoming passionate about a quest and that’s when I started putting myself out there in making people laugh.”

Today, Regan’s stand-up is packed with clean-comedy for the whole family to get a laugh out of, he told The Paper. While he appreciates improvisational comedy, Regan said he prefers to have some knowledge of what he’s going to say next on stage. “That to me is fun, to be able to present to an audience these bizarre, weird, goofy

thoughts that I’ve had,” he explained. “So I might adlib a little bit on stage, but for the most part I’m sharing things that I’ve worked on. “That what interests me and I’m glad audiences seem to respond.” Regan said he looks forward to coming back to Wabash and for those that haven’t been before…

twist — the book can be used as a travel guide. Neal wanted each event and person in the book to be related to an actual location that people could visit. Each article has an Indiana destination attached: a marker, monument, museum, park or annual event that you can attend or visit to make the state’s history come alive. Besides stories that would be on everyone’s list, Neal also wanted to tell stories that have sometimes been forgotten or overlooked, that will “delight and amuse people.” The book was inspired by “A Hoosier Holiday” by Indiana author Theodore Dreiser, published in

“The Music Department at H u n t i n g t o n University is honored to be recognized by Christian Universities Online. We offer our students a wide variety of choices for their career pursuits. We are very proud of how prepared our

graduates are and how successful they are in finding employment in their major fields of study,” stated Dr. George Killian, associate professor of music/department chair. All institutions that are members of the Council for Christian

Colleges and Universities (CCCU) or could be considered member eligible were considered for the rankings. Christian Universities Online gathered publicly available data from six different categories. They started with the number of

undergraduate and graduate music degrees offered by each school and assigned a slightly higher weight to this category. Next, data was collected in the following five categories and weighted equally: Faculty-tostudent ratio, percent of full-time beginning undergraduates receiving grant or scholarship aid, selectivity, overall retention rate and overall graduation rate. Lastly, each data set was standardized and an overall score was calculated. HU offers a variety of unique majors in the music program including music business, choral music education, instrumental music education, instrumental performance, piano performance, vocal performance, and worship leadership. The music department encourages students to integrate their Christian faith as they develop their individual talents and engage in contemporary issues. Students receive hands-on experience and toptier instruction by professors and mentors. A wide range of internships also are available locally and across the nation as students pursue their passions in the real world.

VIEWPOINT OUR VIEW

Forums help shed light on MSD woes In recent weeks we at The Paper of Wabash County have been critical of the Metropolitan School Board of Wabash County for its handling of the reorganization plans for the district. As journalists, we strive to be as fair as possible in our coverage. And it is because of that, we would like to take this time now to congratulate the MSD administration for the way it stepped up and got the public involved in this process. The forums on Aug. 15 and Aug. 17 were extremely informative, both for the public and, we would like to think, for the administrators as well. The administration provided the public the needed information as to why the reconfiguration is needed. It also provided a much needed apology for the way it handled the situation from the beginning. The public, in turn, gave the administration some avenues to think about. Perhaps the best idea was to have a third-party consultant do a feasibility study within the district to best assess its needs. The public also broached the idea of initiating consolidation talks between MSD and Wabash City Schools. One board member, Troy Baer, said he would be in favor of meeting with the board, while the others either balked at the idea or didn’t respond to the question. Several of the board members took to social media to thank the public for attending and providing input. One, Todd Dazey, even suggested that the board will need to discuss the reconfiguration during executive sessions, jokingly adding that the executive session notices will be clearly marked for discussion of consolidation. To that, we would like to forewarn the board that unless that the situation it is facing within MSD is a reorganization and not a consolidation. Unless the board is meeting with Wabash City Schools or other nearby districts to discuss actual consolidation, it might be best to keep any reorganizational talks open and public.

MSD must consider the big picture Dear Editor: The problems that Metropolitan School District faces are not new, they have been developing for some time. The decrease in state funding, the decrease in population, the poaching of students by other districts, all have contributed to the economic problems. Also the attempt to maintain or even increase the number of faculty along with the decrease in the student population has led to an unsustainable situation. Do we really need 14 administrators for barely 2000 students? Two band directors, two choir directors, two Spanish teachers, and so forth. It has been stated that there were 51 classes with less than 10 students!! This is almost unimaginable! Never should there be such a class. I am told of an incident where there was an AP class taught to one student. Wabash is one of 13 corporations labeled as “Early College” high school.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR This program enables students to get an early start on college classes while still in high school, possibly graduating with a full year of college credits. Maybe MSD can consider consolidating with Wabash City with sharing administrations, and also combining the early college classes with the MSD Dual Credit or AP classes. The AP classes offered by MSD show a lessthan 27 percent pass rate of their tests. Seems they would be better replaced by dual credit classes which are accepted by colleges and high school alike. Let all possibilities be explored…. Surely there are many ways to cut costs and at the same time guarantee an excellent education. MSD is one of the premier technological corporations, can we use that technology to offer virtual classes without the need

of highly trained teachers in every classroom? Can the repairs to Sharp Creek be done even at a greater cost than the repairs to Metro North and Sharp Creek be retained? The proximity to the high school should be of maximum concern, and the short term gains of closing Sharp Creek will be overshadowed by the necessity of extra busing etc to Metro North. It is past time to consider the big picture and a ten year plan! Amputating a foot to cure an ingrown toenail seems unrealistic. So does reconfiguration to solve a problem for the short term and not address the long term issues. It will only postpone the difficult decision of decreasing staff to accommodate the decreasing number of students. -- Carol Cly, Wabash

Bayh doesn’t deserve to be elected Dear Editor: In an earlier “letter,” a few facts were disclosed as to Evan Bayh and his family lifestyles, including $9.2 million “leftover” campaign chest; $2.5 million townhouse in trendy Georgetown. Since that time Todd Young, his opponent for Dan Coats’ Senate seat, has brought forth other negative factors on Bayh. Nothing, however, compares with the news article reported by CNN’s investigative reporter who discovered not one but two multi-million homes in the nation’s capitol. It was also disclosed that he provided his D.C. address for most purposes, including obtaining an Indiana driver’s license, recording a third (Florida) home deed, and a donation

to Hillary Clinton’s current campaign. One may wonder, how does Bayh afford all of this on the past salaries of a two-term Indiana governor and our two-term U.S. senator? One answer would be his substantial income – immediately following Senate service by becoming a partner in a prestigious D.C. law/lobbying firm. Another could be his wife Susan being a board member for several major medical related corporations. The advocacy group “Public Citizen,” describes Susan Bayh as a “professional board member.” During the years 200608, she served on five such corporate boards being paid a total of $2140,253. A question: How did an active U.S. Senator and his wife

not discuss health related matters being considered by the Senate? Bayh did vote for Obamacare. In his current TV commercials, Bayh identifies himself as having a “Conservative Agenda.” Perhaps in his early political years, but certainly not since his second term in the Senate. During those four

years, his votes ranked him among the top three most liberal senators from conservative states. Evan, in the past, you had been responsible to the citizens of your original home state. Your sole goal, today, is return to the Senate, where you can eat at the taxpayer trough and relish the prestige of being coddled as an active

A new jail is not needed

Dear Editor: Am I the only one in Wabash County that is against a new jail? We have been losing generations of teenagers and young adults to deadly drugs. Do we care more for locking them up with no help so they will come out worse than they were when they went in? I would much rather try to help them. Why can’t we use the money for a rehabilitation enter

instead of a new jail? They are the reason we need a new jail anyway. If we could save their lives wouldn’t it be worth it? Instead of a prison sentence for a certain length of time such as two years, why couldn’t they serve that time in the rehabilitation center? They could get counseling, medication to help get off the drugs and knowing they would not be able to get any drugs. I have been told they can get all the

drugs they want in prison. I feel that there are many terrible diseases out there and we try to help people, as we should. This is a disease also and they need our help not jail time. We are talking about money for a trail (our taxpayer money) when we could use that money for such a good cause to try to save young lives. – Marcia Short, Wabash

NORTH MANCHESTER — Now entering its third year, Peabody R e t i r e m e n t Community’s annual Camp Peabody’s USO Show is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 27. Stan Williams, Director of Development at the Peabody Home Foundation, is excited for the upcoming show. “It’s going to be a great show,” he said. The USO Show will consist of a vintage military display, a dinner and live music. North Manchester community members who would like to enjoy the concert may bring

their own chair and sit on the lawn. For food and access to the tents with the WWII memorabilia, tickets are available for $20. The show is free to World War II veterans and Peabody residents. Being served at the dinner for the USO Show will be Peabody’s homemade lasagna. According to Williams, the kitchen at Peabody has been busy preparing to serve an expected 600 guests genuine homemade lasagna. In addition to the staff at Peabody, the USO Show is made possible by the efforts of a large number of volunteers. Dinner will be served from 5 to 6 p.m., with live music and dancing to follow until 9 p.m. According to an article in Caring Circle, Peabody’s quarterly magazine, WWII veteran Bert DePue spent nearly three hours dancing at last year’s show. “The band was great, the sound system was terrific and the food was delicious. I danced all night,” he said. Williams said the show is to honor and show support for the

North Manchester News-Journal file photo men and women who served in the Armed Forces. This year’s show will feature the Tom Daugherty Orchestra from Dayton, Ohio and a featured vocalist who will bring the show into the 1950s musically. This year Michael Sonata, a nationally known Frank Sinatra tribute artist, will perform. “We plan to evolve with the generations,” Williams said. He said that as the population of Peabody changes, they plan to update the show to bring in music rele-

vant for the residents. Sonata’s performance will introduce some music from the 50s to the show, which previously featured Glen Miller numbers from the 40s. Next year’s show may move further into the 50s musically, and into the Korean Conflict era in other aspects. “Who knows, by the time I retire we may have bands playing Journey or Styx,” Williams said. WWII chaplain reenactor Thomas Romine will return to the show this year. Romine has previously brought what may be the only

surviving authentic WWII 16-foot pyramidal tent, as well as a WWII Jeep. The George Leonhard Memorial Entertainment Endowment Fund of the Peabody Home Foundation funds entertainment for the Camp Peabody’s USO Show. This endowment was set up to allow Peabody to put on a large, campus-wide event such as the USO Show. In addition to the endowment, Peabody has partnered with several local businesses who are sponsoring this year’s show.

SQU I RREL CREEK

Brandt’s named Chamber’s 2016 Business of the Year ...continued from the front page and his late brother, Steve Brandt. Established in 1949 as the state’s second oldest Harley dealership, Waldo Brandt instilled an exceptional level of customer service and attention to detail, which stands apart from any other dealership in the nation. Waldo served in the Army Air Corps in

World War II. He had an immense passion for the HarleyDavidson brand, and was also a skilled mechanic. He knew motorcycles from the inside out. There wasn’t a day that you didn’t find him wrenching alongside his techs in the Service Department. Waldo passed away in 1988, but his memo-

ry is far from forgotten. Following closely in his father’s footsteps, Mike Brandt is the sole owner of both Brandt’s HarleyDavidson in Wabash and Brandt’s I-69 Harley-Davidson in Marion, which he acquired in 2010. Steve was the eldest of the three sons of Waldo and Dorothy Brandt and was a part of the business from the early days of his childhood, right up until his death in July of 2010. Steve had a personality and generosity unlike anyone. Whether a perfect stranger or an old friend, Steve enjoyed a warm conversation, and of course, a great cigar. He was an incredibly charitable man, was actively involved in many community projects, and was more than willing to go the extra mile to help people out in any way he could. Steve had a great passion for life and an absolute love for Harley-Davidson, and that radiated in everything he did. Steve was always looking to give back and share his enthusiasm with everyone that crossed his path. The Brandts relocated the Wabash dealership in 2003, from the original location on the south side of Wabash, to its present sprawling 40,000 square feet facility at the corner of U.S. 24 and State Road Hwy.

15. It is by far one of the largest in the state. Often, there are some 300 bikes in the building including what’s on the sales floor, in the service and detail departments, and the massive collection of vintage bikes that Mike proudly has on display. Brandt’s is open from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. 4 p.m. Sunday and has one of largest selections of MotorClothes and parts and accessories anywhere. The firm’s awardwinning service department has more than 130 years of combined experience. Sitting on new and quality pre-owned bikes at the dealership is encouraged. Test rides are available and brand new model Harley’s can also be rented in Wabash. Brandt’s I-69 Harley-Davidson, in Marion, now has a state-accredited riding academy. Its Harley-Davidson four day course takes students through the bookwork, and then onto the practice range for training on one of their supplied H a rl e y - D av i d s o n Street 500’s. Certified Harley instructors teach students all the rules of the road, maintenance tips, how to handle their bike in various conditions, and most (continued on page 24)

How to protect Meth lab located; yourself from theft one arrested By Metro Creative Connection Anyone who has had their home broken into or been the victim of identity theft understands just how unsettling it can be to have their privacy invaded. To think that a stranger has rooted through your stuff may be even more upsetting than losing the stolen items. Data from various sources, including the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, points to identity theft as one of the fastest-growing crimes in the United States. Approximately 15 million U.S. residents have their identities used fraudulently each year, with financial losses totalling upwards of $50 billion. Perhaps thanks to the prevalence of Web-based accounts and transactions, as well as reliance on digital services, identity fraud and other types of theft have increased in frequency. According to a 2013

report from Javelin Strategy & Research, an incident of identity fraud occurs every three seconds. Just about any individual or business is vulnerable to an identity/data attack. It's crucial that individuals and businesses take steps to protect themselves from identity theft and other forms of theft. Limit sharing on social media Many people have no qualms about posting personal data via social networking sites, even though they aren't taking the precautions necessary to keep that information safe. Always keep your privacy settings at the highest level, and never share sensitive personal information such as your birth date, address or financial information. Invest in security software Invest in or upgrade your spyware and

security applications. In addition, install any security updates authorized by your operating system or the apps you use. Create strong passwords Skip those easy passwords that just about anyone who knows a little about you can guess. Instead, choose complex passwords that feature a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Many passwords are case sensitive, so use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters as well. Use only secured wi-fi networks Avoid sharing personal information when using unsecured networks, such as those available at restaurants or coffee shops. It's easy for someone to hack into your accounts when they don't have to go through firewalls and other security features.

By The Paper staff Wabash Police located an alleged meth lab in the early morning hours of Aug. 18. According to a news release from Sgt. Matt Benson, the Wabash Police Department’s Public Information Officer: At approximately 3:03 a.m. third shift patrol officers were patrolling the 600 block of Pike Street when they allege they detected a strong chemical odor in the area. Officers allege they Exercise caution with email Opening emails or clicking on attachments and links could initiate spyware, and doing so may even infect your computer with a virus. Also, don't be fooled by emails requesting personal information. Such messages are typically sent by fraudulent people masquerading as

pinpointed the origin of the chemical smell to 691 Pike Street. Officers furthered the investigation and led to a search warrant for the residence. Once officers entered the residence an alleged active meth lab was located. The Wabash Drug Task Force was called to the scene as well the Indiana State Police Methamphetamine Disposal Team. Wabash City Fire Department provided fire suppression while the alleged lab was being dismantled. Bryan N. Myers, 46,

Wabash, is being held on a 72 hour hold in Wabash County Jail for narcotics related charges. Cpl. Chad Galligan, Cpl. Josh Prater, Patrolman Aaron Snover, and Patrolman Phil Mickelson initiated this investigation with additional support from Wabash Drug Task Force Officers Matt Shrider and Ryan Baker. Members of the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department assisted at the scene.

legitimate businesses, such as credit card companies looking to "verify" account information.

where they can't be seen. Avoid logging on to personal accounts in public and when your sensitive information might be visible to others. Theft can be scary, and anytime personal belongings or information is stolen, it can make a person feel violated. Start taking steps to better safeguard your personal data.

Keep personal belongings out of sight Be mindful of personal items and information at all times. Shred mail that contains account numbers, and store checks and bank account paperwork and files

Recovering from identity theft By Metro Creative Connection The crimes of identity fraud, a situation in which someone's personal information is used to access money, and identity theft have grown increasingly common in recent years. The number of identity fraud victims jumped to 13.1 million in 2013, according to a report by Javelin Strategy & Research. Data breaches and hacker activity account for a growing number of identity theft cases. In addition, criminals have grown more adept at using information they obtain about others to take over consumers' finances. So how do those victimized by identity theft repair the damage and recover their good names? The process can be both time-consuming and frustrating, but the following is a plan to help men and women recover from identity theft. · Do not panic if you learn of a data breach

or even if your personal information has been compromised. In many instances, banks, retailers and other companies that store personal data have safeguards in effect to prevent widespread distribution or use of stolen information. A data breach may mean account numbers were stolen but not PIN codes. Get the facts first and then you can go from there. · Americans victimized by identity theft can file an official report with a local law enforcement agency as well as the Federal Trade Commission. Keep a copy of the police report as well as the contact information of the fraud investigator who handled your case. Many creditors will require a police report when individuals try to resolve problems with them. Canadians can log on to the Anti Fraud Centre (www.antifraudcentrecentreantifraude.ca) and download an Identity Theft Statement.

· Contact one of the three major credit monitoring bureaus and ask to have a fraud alert placed on your credit report. After an alert is placed by one credit bureau, the others should follow suit. Give the police report number or any claim number to the credit bureau as well. Here are the numbers for the credit bureaus: - Equifax: 1-800-5256285 - Experian: 1-888-3973742 - TransUnion: 1-800680-7289 · Contact your credit card companies promptly and inform them of the identity breach. They can put notes on your account to verify purchases and also to go over any purchases made recently that may be suspect. Just to be safe, ask each of your creditors to issue new cards with a different account number. · Speak with a banking representative if you are a frequent user of an ATM card or debit card. Review your latest banking

statement to see if there are any suspect transactions on the account. Request a new debit card be issued. · In some instances, identity thieves change your address in order to facilitate additional crimes, such as the delivery of credit cards and fraudulently purchased merchandise. If you suspect that this has happened to you, notify your area's postal inspector. · If you suspect official documents and identification numbers, such as passports or licenses, have been compromised, you must contact those agencies directly and follow their guidelines. Even after you go through the process of restoring your identity, you will need to remain diligent and frequently monitor credit reports and statements to ensure your information is no longer being used illegally.

MSD board gets public input on declining enrollment fight ...continuedfrom the front page that a lot of us would like to turn the clock back,” Superintendent Mike Keaffaber said Monday night. “There have been mistakes made and we apologize for that, but one thing I learned yesterday, and I probably need to give credit to my pastor, but his sermon yesterday talked about hard times and in hard times, there are two ways we can react to things. We

can be a student or we can be a victim. “In this particular case, we want to be a student. We know as students we make mistakes and we try to correct those mistakes and learn from that, and so that’s what we’re doing tonight.” During the open discussions on both nights, citizens broached concerns about lengthy bus rides and minimizing

the “shuffling” of students throughout the district as well requesting that the Board consider all options on the table, including consolidation. H o w a r d Halderman, of the Northfield district, began the open discussion at NHS by jumping right to the hot topic of both nights, consolidation. “My question is why bring kids past a

802 SHOCK RD., N. MANCHESTER

high school in the center of town? Why not just consolidate?” Halderman asked the Board. “Do it over a two or three-year transition time period and put us all in one and be back to the same size as MSD was in the 1970s.” His question was repeated several times over the course of the two forums up to the very last question of the open discussion on Wednesday night. “I haven’t got a clear answer,” audience member April

DeVore told the Board Wednesday. “The City Schools Board has extended their hand. Are you guys willing to talk to them?” DeVore’s question received applause. One member of the audience added it’s either yes or no before the Board answered. “There’s been informal discussions if I can as far to say that,” Board member Kevin Bowman replied, “and I don’t want to break confidence to a great degree, but I’ve had lunch at the same time as Dr. (Sandra)

Weaver, … Mr. (Jason) Callahan, and Bill Konyha and myself specifically to discuss consolidation. I can think of two other dinner meetings with the same topic, not with all of those folks. “To say that we have not looked at consolidation is to underestimate us.” Before Bowman could continue with his reply, however, several members of the audience shouted, “All we want is a yes or no!” “We have not met with the Board of

Wabash City,” Bowman said. “Would you be willing to meet with them?” DeVore asked. “As of right now there’s no plans but that could change,” Bowman replied. “I have some very strong feelings about consolidation at this time. The last gentleman (that asked a question) mentioned a 1015 year plan. In my mind, if we were to look seriously at consolidation in the near future, it should be in that time limit.

MSD board gets public input on declining enrollment fight ...continuedfrom the front page

“Having said that, unfortunately, in public schools its hard to do something that far out. I’m fortunate in my business that I’m able to do that and gosh I wish we could do that for MSD but we can’t.” F o l l o w i n g Bowman’s remarks, Board member Troy Baer told the audience he’s willing to talk consolidation and received applause and audible ‘thank yous’ from the public. Keaffaber and several board members emphasized that the outcome of the discussions would be to create a more efficient MSD of Wabash

County school district. While much of the open discussion questions focused on consolidation, other audience members asked about the Board’s stance on other topics such as pursuing an operating tax referendum and requesting a feasibility study. “I think we’re all in agreement that something has to be done,” Lori Heath, S o u t h w o o d Elementary School teacher, said. “I think we know things are changing in our community and the school has to do things to keep up with that. “My question would

be what was the process for gathering information on (the Board’s) part before this decision was made. I mean did we do a feasibility study with people who are trained to come in and objectively look at numbers, look at student needs and ways that we can cut?” Declining enrollment has been on the Board’s plate for several years, Baer replied. “It’s not something that as a board that we really want to take on, obviously. Let’s just stay status quo,” he said. “Probably we haven’t acted fast

enough. By looking at the numbers, the administration, we were looking at several options and final dollar figures and basically, just speaking for myself, if I can do something that helps education and saves taxpayers (money) I think that’s win-win. “I know we’re talking a lot about consolidation tonight. That’s something that’s great, but we have to stop the bleeding fast and we have to do so for MSD. We have to take care of ourselves first.”

ter from our State President. The Singing Valentines will present a program at the Woman’s Clubhouse in February 2017 including a brief history of P.E.O. and a sample of what it does on Valentine’s Day. The next luncheon will be held Friday, Aug. 19, at 11:30 a.m. at Harvey Hinklemeyer’s. The program for the evening was presented by Karen Huber entitled “Fact is Stranger Than Fiction.” Members were all invited to read a prepared statement and guess if it was fact or fiction. They then received the correct answer. An example, “There are more stars in the sky than grains of sand on all the beaches in the world”. Believe it or

not, that is a true statement. However, the statement that women are more likely to be struck by lightning than men is

not a fact. The next regular meeting will be held at the home of Beth Perkins on Sept. 12, with Karen Huber as co-hostess.

Assessor requests funds for new software purchase By David PurvisFenker david@nmpaper.com Higher productivity and fewer opportunities for mistakes were the reasons why the Wabash County Assessor asked for $122,800 from the Commissioners at their Aug. 22 meeting. Wabash County Assessor Kelly Schenkel presented information to the commissioners regarding a new CAMA software package costing $122,800 for her office. According to Schenkel, the Assessor has been with the same company, Thomson Reuters, since the mid-1980s. “We’re just to the point where there’s something better out there. There hasn’t been something better for a long time, but XSoft now has 53 counties, so that tells you something,” she said. According to its website, XSoft is an Indiana-based corporation that designs CAMA software. Their product, called INcama, includes a variety of features that, according to Schenkel, will increase productivity

and reduce mistakes. Additionally, the maintenance cost of the XSoft package is cheaper than that of their current software. “Right now, we’re paying $2,900 for the maintenance fee for the personal property, and then we’re paying $3,750 for the sales disclosure program each year, and then [Thomson Reuters] we’re paying $19,621 per year,” she said. “XSoft would be $20,000 altogether, so it would be saving almost $6,300 per year on the maintenance fee.” She gave the commissioners copies of a contract from XSoft with a breakdown of the installation and maintenance costs. XSoft demonstrated the software to the Assessor’s office two weeks ago over a period of about six hours. Schenkel said that XSoft’s software automates a number of steps that currently are not, which she said will help reduce the number of mistakes made. Additionally, XSoft’s software package is one system, whereas the Assessor’s current software requires two systems

for their work. It also works with their GIS software, making soil assessments simpler. “Another nice thing about this system is that it is Indiana-only. They’re out of Indianapolis, and they’re just taking care of Indiana,” she said. Schenkel said that XSoft would like to have the installation and data transfer finished by December, if possible. According to Schenkel, only Wabash, Whitley and Huntington counties

take the request under advisement. In other news, the Wabash County Purdue Extension Office requested a new countertop. The current countertop at the front counter is pulling apart and is held together by tape, so they would like to improve the look of their office with a new one. “The quote I got is from Builder’s Mart, at $400,” Purdue University Extension Director Teresa Witkoske said.

Additionally, the office is looking into painting the cabinets the countertop would sit on. The commissioners u n a n i m o u s l y approved the request, and suggested asking the courthouse maintenance staff about installing the countertop. Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land reported that he had 95 inmates in the Wabash County Jail, 48 in Miami County and four in Elkhart County. The daily

average at the Wabash County Jail was 89, and it saw 31 new inmates. The Sheriff ’s Department transported 17 inmates last week to the Department of Corrections. There are currently two open jail positions, and there will be one more after Sept. 18, and another after the first of the year. Land said that all positions will be filled from within, with no new staff being hired.

Red Cross, WFD distribute smoke detectors By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The American Red Cross and the Wabash Fire Department teamed up Saturday morning to help make some local homes safer. Red Cross representatives, along with local firefighters, visited homes on the city’s east side to check if the homes have working smoke detectors and, if not, offer to install the device at no charge. The Home Fire Campaign hoped to visit 250 homes and install up to three

smoke detectors per home, according to Kari Harmon, the local Red Cross’ Home Fire Campaign chair. “We will team with the fire department and go out into the community into a section of the town that has the most fires,” Harmon told The Paper of Wabash County. “What we’ll do is we go up to the residence and ask them if they have a smoke alarm or not. If they do, then we ask them if we can come in and check it for them to make sure it’s working. If it’s not working then

we change the batteries for them. “We also install smoke alarms in up to three rooms. They don’t have to own the home. They can be a renter. We don’t ask that. We just automatically go in and install smoke alarms to save lives.” In addition to typical smoke detectors, the Red Cross also has some for those with special needs. For example, Harmon said, one smoke detector has a device that people who have hearing problems can place under their

pillows at night. Should the smoke detector go off, it will vibrate, waking the person to alert them of the problem. Wabash Fire Chief Barry Stroup said about a dozen smoke detectors were installed during the day. “This type of program is important and, when coupled with the program our department has in place, should get detectors into all homes needing them,” he said. We encourage all residents to get working smoke detectors in their homes.

the Bedford casting plant, GM has brought over $1.4 billion in new investment in the State of Indiana and we are extremely grateful to all of you and to this fine company. “We’re so proud to have you in our Hoosier state.” State Senator Jim Buck (R-District 21) spoke at the presentation both as an elected official and a GM retiree. “This is special for me as a retired tool and dye bolt maker in Kokomo,” Buck said. “I watched many times, wondering whether or not General Motors was going to invest in us. You can have the greatest workers in the world and if the employer doesn’t invest in you, you’ll end up on the street.” Buck worked with many of the Marion plant’s employees at one time in Kokomo, he continued. “Many times we have heard the rumors that I heard many of you talking about, ‘The plant’s closing,’” he said. “Well I wanted to tell you this, and it was just mentioned, because of your skill and your dedication to your job, General Motors and its investors … placed confidence in you. “This $90 million is not a small sum,” he continued. “I can tell you as a state senator, we face competition from all 49 other states and countries around the world wanting your job. It takes an enormous amount of effort, cooperation with the UAW and management and your local city officials to make it all come to fruition. “I’m extremely happy for all of you because this is over a thousand jobs that have a future and the future is up to you.”
