Manchester in mourning University, community in shock after deaths of three students By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER – Three Manchester University students were killed and a fourth seriously injured in a traffic accident early Sunday morning in Grant County. Seven MU students, six from Ethiopia and one from Nigeria, were on their way back to North Manchester after visiting friends at Ball State University and Taylor University on Feb.

21. The students were northbound on I-69 in Grant County when their vehicle got a flat tire. According to police reports, as they were changing the tire, the students were outside of the vehicle, three to the rear area of the vehicle, and four along the driver’s side. Another passenger van was northbound on I-69, south of the broken down vehicle. That vehicle, driven by Deangelo R. Evans, 26, of Chicago, left the roadway to the

west, into the median and struck four of the students. The speed of the vehicle at the time of impact could not be determined, but the posted speed limit is 70 mph. Three of the Manchester University students — Nerad Grace Mangai, Brook M. Dagnew, and Kirubel Alemayehu Hailu — died at the scene. A fourth, Israel Solomon Tamire, was flown to Lutheran (continued on page 13)

Parkview Wabash to add OB services

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Donald Davidson, Indianapolis Motor Speedway historian, will speak on Tuesday, March 22, at the Wabash Elks Lodge, 225 W. Main St. Davidson, who is speaking at various sites around Indiana to help promote the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 29, will speak at 6 p.m. Part of the talk is expected to be about Wabash’s connection to the 500. The late Jimmy Daywalt is a Wabash native who competed in eight Indy 500 races and earned Rookie of the Year honors in 1953, the second person to receive the award. Art Cross received the honor in 1952. During the 1953 DONALD race, Daywalt started DAVIDSON in 21st place and finished in sixth. His best starting position was second during the 1954 race, but an accident on the 111th lap of the race relegated him to a 27th place finish. However, he did lead eight laps of the race. Another Wabash connection is that of Dick Miller, the late owner of Dick’s Men’s Wear, who for several years treated the winner of the Indianapolis 500 to $1,000 worth of clothing. Davidson’s visit was arranged with Mayor Scott Long and the Indianapolis

Scouts gather for 76th Lincoln Pilgrimage By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Scouts from as far away as Lafayette and points in between converged on Wabash on Sunday, Feb. 21, for the 76th annual Lincoln Pilgrimage. The event, which took place at the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall and in the facility’s skating rink, took on a new format this year. “For 75 years it kind of evolved into a rope-making and a museum-type thing,” according to Chris Mehaffey, Scout Executive for the Boy Scouts of America Sagamore Council. “We focused on Lincoln a little bit. “We wanted to focus on the citizenship part of what Scouting really teaches.” Six different stations around the Legacy Hall focused on different items. For example, Scout Master Mike

Hopkins had a display of Scouting memorabilia from throughout the years. Meanwhile, former Mayor Robert Vanlandingham discussed the workings of local government at another booth. A third booth taught about the American and Indiana flags, and included a lesson in how to properly fold the flag. A fourth booth featured Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt impersonators – Murray Cox and Gib Young, respectively – talking about the former presidents’ lives to the youngsters. Craig Burkholder, a Scout Master and U.S. Army veteran, and Rod Stouffer, a veteran of both the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines, manned a booth dedicated to local heroes. They spoke briefly about their experiences in the military, and noted how Scouting can help one prepare for life (continued on page 14)

Obstetric services are returning to Wabash County when the new Parkview Wabash Hospital opens in 2018. “We’ve made the decision to bring back OB services when we go into the new facility,” Parkview Wabash President Marilyn Custer-Mitchell told The Paper of Wabash County. “Right now we do not have OB services and won’t until early 2018 when we occupy the new facility.” The Wabash hospital has been without OB services since 2004 when the then hospital board opted to stop the services citing, among other things, rising insurance costs. Custer-Mitchell said bringing the service back has been perhaps the most asked question among local residents. “It’s probably the question I’m asked the most: Are you going to be bringing back OB?” she said. “It’s the question the board’s been asked the most. “We did a lot of work, and the plans we’re putting together for the new hospital include an OB department. We’re very excited about that. It will be a great thing for Wabash.” While the return of full service is still about two years away, local women have some pre-natal options to choose from now. Dr. Catherine Reese, who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology, and Shelly Boone, a nurse practitioner at Family Physicians, are both seeing pre-natal (continued on page 14)

A Wabash man was given 30 days to either begin repairs to or demolish an East Sinclair Street home. The home, located at 45 E. Sinclair St., was found to be unsafe during an unsafe building hearing on Feb. 17 by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety. The board gave the home’s owner, Kenneth Crace, 30 days to either begin repairs to the structure or have it demolished. B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens testified during the hearing. The building was owned by Scott Alber, but he later transferred ownership to Crace, Stephens said under questioning by

City Attorney Randi Zimmerman-Irgang. Stephens later said Crace had presented him a deed indicating he had transferred ownership to another party. However, the building commission continued, the deed wasn’t notarized and had no signatures. Stephens said he inspected the building twice, the first time being about 18 months ago. “The back part of the building is structurally failing,” he said. “There’s holes in the roof, windows missing and there’s a big structural crack on the east side of the building as well.” There is no running water or sewage in the building, and there also is no electrical meter attached to the building. Stephens said he doesn’t think the building is fit for

human habitation. “It’s got holes in the roof,” he said. “It’s unsafe to be in right now, the way the back of the building is.” Stephens asked the board to find the home unsafe and to give Crace 30 days “to fix it or tear it down.” Board member Todd Titus asked if Crace had 30 days “to start to fix it or 30 days to completely fix it.” Stephens said, “I tell everyone when I contact them prior to these hearings, that if they come in here with a schedule and a budget and we set a timetable and you want to restore it, we give them that opportunity at this hearing. We’ve done that in the past. “They don’t all result in demolition.” The board unanimously issued the finding.

City attempting to regain ownership of old City Hall By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The City of Wabash is trying to reclaim ownership of the old City Hall building, 111 S. Wabash St. The Board of Public Works and Safety sold the building to the Youth Service Bureau of Wabash County for $1 in 2009. However, the YSB’s board of directors closed the agency in 2013 after it learned the former executive director failed to pay withholding taxes on its employees, and the agency was in debt hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Internal Revenue Service. Since the agency closed in April 2013, the building has sat unused, filled with remnants of the YSB, including computers, school supplies, Christmas gifts and more. However, there is one problem with the city regaining ownership, City Attorney Randi ZimmermanIrgang told the Board of Works on Wednesday, Feb. 17. While a signed deed was thought to have been given to the YSB via a Municipal Warranty Deed, no one can locate it. In addition, the former executive director failed to record the property transfer with the Wabash County Recorder’s office. The city is still listed as the building’s legal owner. “The problem is there was a resolution signed and a warranty deed executed to the Youth Service Bureau of Wabash,” she said. “It’s been vacant. The record title owner is still Wabash city. “There was a deed that was executed. I

can’t verify it was ever delivered. The problem is if we take possession of the property, there’s the possibility of a fully executed deed floating out there somewhere. And, while the Youth Service Bureau of Wabash resided in the building, there were a ton of liens placed on the building.” She asked the board for permission to file a quiet title action with the Wabash Circuit Court. “What that would do is two-fold,” she said. “It would give us a court order – hopefully, if the court approves it – a court order determining that the real estate is owned by the City of Wabash. “And number two, assuming that I can get an updated title search – and I’m asking that the board also approve an updated title search be done on 111 South Wabash – any lien holder would be served notice of the quiet title action.” If approved by the court, she said, the city would have an order stating it is the legal owner of the building “and effectively wipe out any encumbrances or liens on the real estate.” She hopes to streamline the process so the city can take over the property. “The building has issues,” ZimmermanIrgang noted. B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens discussed the condition of the building. Some of the windows have been broken and secured with plywood, he said. “There is some question on a parapet wall,” he continued.

The City of Wabash is trying to regain ownership of the old City Hall building. It was most recently the office of the Youth Service Bureau of Wabash County, and has stood vacant since the agency closed in 2013. Photo by Joseph Slacian “There’s no heat in the building right now. The two heat pumps that served the downstairs are completely damaged and they can’t be repaired cost effectively. “It has to have a new gas meter. … There’s quite a bit of cleaning up to be done in the downstairs. There has to be some demolition of paneling and some of the walls, and things of that nature.” He also noted that there is quite a bit of items left there from the YSB. “And again,”

Zimmer man-Irgang said, “until we get a court order – even though on record we’re the owners – there is a deed out there and until I obtain a court order that we are the rightful owners, I’m not comfortable with having John go in there and gather the supplies and have a meeting to determine what, if any, agency we donate those to.” The board granted Zimmer man-Irgang to file the quiet title search and new title search.

2016 BRIDAL GUIDE Wedding rings are symbolic gestures of commitment

Couples adhere to many traditions on their wedding days, including the exchange of wedding rings. Wedding rings symbolize the union of two people and their pledge to remain faithful to each other. No one is exactly sure just when the tradition of exchanging wedding rings originated, but some say it can be traced back to ancient Egypt, when the oldest recorded exchange of wedding rings was made. Reeds growing along the Nile were twisted and braided into rings and given during betrothal ceremonies. The round ring symbolized eternity, and the hole within the center meant a gateway to things unknown. Since reeds

were not very durable, soon ivory, leather and bone were used to create wedding rings. As new lands were explored and territories expanded, traditions from one culture were adopted and modified by other cultures. The same is true with wedding rings. According to the Diamond Source, wedding rings were adopted by Romans and incorporated into Western wedding ceremonies. Romans' rings were highly decorated, and some historians believe wedding rings were given to represent ownership over brides instead of symbolizing love. These rings were made of iron and called "Anulus Pronubus," or "betrothal ring."

Rings have been simplified since those days and ultimately made of many materials. Throughout history, wedding rings were worn on various fingers and even both hands, whereas many married people in Western cultures now wear their wedding rings on the left hand and on the fourth finger. Romans once believed that this finger contained a vein, called the "Vena Amoris," that ran directly to the heart. Though that is not true, the tradition has prevailed. Other legends say that, when blessing a Christian marriage, priests would bind the marriage by saying, "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy

Spirit," simultaneously touching the ring to the recipient's thumb, index finger and middle finger, before slipping it on the fourth finger while saying, "Amen." Another theory on ring placement is that wedding rings are worn on the ring finger because that finger isn't used as much as the rest of the hand, ensuring delicate ring materials won't be damaged. Ross Simmons Jewelry states that gold is still the most popular metal choice for wedding rings, but couples are opting for some other metals that are more durable. Platinum is popular not only because it is long-wearing, but it also tends to be the

Grooms: Look your wedding day best

Weddings are a chance for couples tying the knot to be the center of attention. All eyes will be glued to the bride and groom on this special day, which makes it even more important for couples to look their collective best. Brides might garner most of the attention on a couple's wedding day, but dashing grooms also will get their share of attention. As a result, grooms must be just as diligent as their blushing brides with regard to grooming and appearance on their wedding days. To look picture-perfect, grooms may want to include these grooming tips in their wedding day preparation. Hair Schedule a haircut with a professional stylist roughly a week before the wedding to get your hair shaped and trimmed. Although trendy hairstyles may show off creativity, keep in mind that photos last forever, and it's often better to stick with a classic cut. A barber or stylist may suggest styles that best suit your face shape and hair texture. Above all, the haircut should be neat. Resist the urge to wash your hair every day before the wedding. Allow some natural oils to build up and make your hair shine in a

healthy way. Shaving Shaving is another thing grooms must consider. If you have a beard, make sure it is clean, combed and trimmed. Men who shave the day of their weddings may find their skin is sensitive and irritated, which can lead to redness. Unless your facial hair grows especially fast, shave the evening before. This is a good time to splurge on a professional shave with

a straight razor at a barber shop. A hot shave from a professional will produce a close shave with the least amount of irritation when done correctly. Hands Grooms also may want to book a manicure. Keep in mind that salons will do men's nonpolish manicures and pedicures, and they can be well worth the investment. Photos of entwined hands or close-ups of the ring

exchange will have guests zeroing in on your fingers. Have hands look their best with clean, shaped fingernails and trimmed cuticles. Skin Get plenty of sleep the night prior to the wedding. Being well rested will help reduce puffy eyes, dark circles and sallow skin. It will also put you in a more positive mood, which can help you enjoy the day even more.

The day of the wedding, shower using water and a mild soap. Avoid any skin irritation by patting your face and body dry, rather than rubbing it with the towel. Moisturize your skin to avoid dry patches. Stores sell many moisturizers geared toward men's needs, often in unscented or more masculine fragrances. Reducing shine is key for wedding day photos. Rely on face

and hair products that will not add unnecessary sheen to your skin or hair to avoid making you look greasy. Matte hair waxes and sprays will tame tresses. Also, ask your fiancé to pick you up a package of blotting tissues if you are prone to oily skin. These absorbent, typically rice-paper sheets will remove oil from your face and keep sheen to a minimum. Smile Make sure your

teeth have been thoroughly brushed and that you have used a minty mouthwash so you're primed for that first kiss. Many grooms also opt for whitening treatments prior to the wedding so they have a dazzling smile. On their wedding days, grooms will likely be photographed more than any other time in their lives. That means putting extra effort into personal grooming to look their best.

Weddings can be as unique and varied as the couples tying the knot. Quite often couples like to include certain twists on the ceremony and celebration to personalize their big days. But just as there are surprises at weddings, there also are many traditions that will be adhered to during ceremonies. Couples who opt for religious wedding ceremonies often adhere to certain rules and traditions fostered by their faiths. Guests who may be unfamiliar with traditions outside of their own beliefs may not know what to expect during certain ceremonies. Jewish celebrations The world's Jewish population is divided among many distinctive denominations and further classifications. Although there may be subtle differences in wedding ceremonies between the sects, Jewish wedding traditions tend to be consistent across the groups. Conservative and Orthodox Jews may not hold weddings on the Sabbath or other holidays. Couples will sign the Ketuba, which is a marriage document affirming their connection to each other and to God. The ceremony starts with grandparents seated first, followed by a procession of the rabbi, cantor

Wedding ceremonies commonly include scripture readings, vows, rituals, and other religious traditions specified by the faith. and groomsmen. The groom and bride will be escorted by their parents. The wedding party will gather beneath the chuppah, which is a canopy that signifies a house and represents the couple's future together. A solid gold ring is given only to the bride according to Jewish law, although more liberal rabbis may allow a ring for the groom as a gift. The bridegroom smashes a wineglass with his foot after the vows have been exchanged. Christian celebrations Christian celebrations are similar among the various denominations. Such ceremonies typically involve a processional, though the groom is typically not included, instead standing at the altar. Christians typically hear various scripture readings, and the officiant will

explain the significance of marriage in this faith. Many Catholic weddings feature a full Mass during wedding ceremonies, and this Mass includes the transubstantiation of the Holy Eucharist. After vows and rings are exchanged, the couple kisses and is pronounced husband and wife in the eyes of God. The bride and groom will go on to sign the marriage document with two witnesses on hand. Hindu celebrations A Hindu wedding celebration is an elaborate affair that includes extended family and community members. The wedding ceremony is called vivaah sanskar and can be a very colorful celebration that lasts for days. The couple and guests will be wearing traditional dress. The bride usu-

ally wears body art produced with a mixture of henna and turmeric. Hindu rituals may vary widely, but some key things are shared. According to the "Encyclopedia of Hinduism," many will include the Kanyadaan, or giving away of the daughter by her father; Panigrahana, or holding one's hands by a fire to signify the union; and Saptapadi, which is taking seven steps and making seven promises to each other before the fire. The couple may have their clothing tied together during the seven promises ritual to represent their lifelong bond. Wedding ceremonies may vary depending on culture and religion, but they all share the joy of two people pledging their love and devotion to each other.

Tame wedding day nerves

When couples tie the knot, many changes are in store, many compromises will be made and many lasting memories will be created. But in the weeks and months before their big days, couples can easily get caught up in the whirlwind of wedding planning, never taking inventory of their feelings until their wedding days have arrived. Come their wedding days, couples should not be surprised if some nerves set in. A survey from the anxiety self-help resource The Fear Source indicated 71 percent of brides-tobe suffered from some type of nerves during the lead-up to their weddings. Ninety-two percent of brides experienced nerves on the day of the wedding or the evening before, while 66 percent reported that it affected their daily lives prior to their weddings or hampered their performance and enjoyment during the day itself. According to Psych Central, a modern online voice for mental health information, emotional support and advocacy, pre-wedding jitters are common and can be the subconscious telling a person that something needs to be remedied. Wedding nerves do not mean a wedding is doomed; it just means certain issues may need to be worked through. The following are some

for exceptional elegance p g

ways to tame wedding day nerves. · Keep an open dialogue. Speak with your future spouse about the things that may be causing your anxiety. Maybe you have doubts on financial choices or where you will be living after the wedding. Communicating openly and honestly is one of the foundations of a strong relationship. · Slow down and breathe. Wedding planning involves making many decisions, and sometimes couples move at breakneck speeds. Make slowing down a priority. Try to enjoy a quiet dinner with just the two of you. When enjoying peaceful moments, take deep breaths, which can be calming and revitalizing. If need be, consider signing up for a yoga or tai chi

class to force you to slow down. · Address performance anxiety. It's easy to build up the big day in your mind and hope that everything goes according to plan. But it's impossible to plan for each and every outcome on your wedding day. Focus on everything that can go right, rather than worrying about what might go wrong. Also, realize that your guests are your friends and family members who will be forgiving of any hiccups along the way. You're bound to recover gracefully from any mishaps. · Work on confidence. Wedding fears may stem from inadequate self-confidence. Give yourself a pep talk and surround yourself with positive people. Keep the worry-warts at arms'

length for the time being. · Recruit more help. Weddings are huge undertakings, so it's no surprise that couples sometimes feel overwhelmed. Ask reliable relatives or friends to doublecheck all of the lastminute details. This way you don't feel it is all on your shoulders. Wedding days nerves are to be expected and often have little to do with the decision to get married. Planning such a big event can be nerve-wracking, but there are ways to combat any anxiety that builds up as the big day draws near.

2016 BRIDAL GUIDE Sarah Bearden – Travis Lightle Korner Shoppe

1731 Woodlawn Ave. Logansport, IN 46947 574.753.5952

Chris Lightle and Dawn Lightle Patrick are proud to announce the recent marriage of their son, Travis Lightle, to Sarah Bearden Lightle. The couple was married in a private ceremony on Dec. 5, 2015, in the chapel on the Naval Base in Bremerton, Wash. A

reception was held for the new couple at The Train Depot, in Pierceton, Ind., on Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015. About a 125 family members and friends were in attendance celebrating with the new couple. Travis, a native of North Manchester, graduated from the Manchester High School before continuing on to college at Vincennes University, where he graduated with a major in Conservation Law Enforcement. He then decided to join the Navy, which has always been something he’s wanted to do ever since he was a child. Travis is currently

stationed in Bremerton, Wash. He is also currently under an 8-month deployment to Guam, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, returning on Aug. 15, 2016. Sarah was born in Hoodsport, Wash., to Brad and Barbara Bearden. She attended high school there then went on to college, graduating with an English major from the University of Washington. She then held a corporate marketing job with Starbucks and traveled all over the United States. Currently, she has decided to further her education and is working toward her

Master’s in English at the University of Washington. The couple plans to continue to reside in the state of Washington after

Travis has completed his

deployment.

but no bridal ensemble is truly complete until the bride chooses her veil. Veils have been worn by brides at their weddings for centuries. Veils can be traced back to the Middle East, where veils helped protect against the weather while also preserving the modesty of the bride. In Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, veils were used as protection against evil spirits. According to popular wedding website The Knot.com, until Vatican II, all Catholic women were required to have their heads covered in church, including during their wedding ceremonies. Veils were worn for this purpose, but they also symbolized trust in the groom and his love and companionship. Some Christians also see

the veil as a visual representation of submission to the Church and to God. Others think of the veil as another beautiful accompaniment to their bridal gown, without attaching any additional meaning to the veil itself. Veils come in various lengths and can complement the style of a wedding gown. They also tend to add glamour to brides' looks. Here are the types of veils from shortest to longest. · Blusher: Blushers cover the face, though some extend only to midcheek on the bride. · Flyaway: Flyaways cover just the back of the head. Shorter veils may work better on petite women. · Shoulder: Shoulder veils are about 20 inches in length and will hit at the bride's shoulders

or just below. · Waist: Waistlength veils cascade down to the middle of the bride's waist. · Fingertip: These veils extend down 38 to 42 inches, brushing against the bride's fingertips. · Waltz/Knee: For a dramatic look, many brides may opt for waltz-length veils, which fall to the back of the knees. · Chapel/Floor: Veils that extend to the floor may be referred to as "chapel" or "floorlength" veils. Such veils cascade slightly behind the bride. Veils can complete brides' wedding day looks. Shorter veils may be comfortable to wear throughout the day and evening, but brides may want to consider detachable veils if they are selecting lengthier options.

Easy ways to trim wedding costs

Couples planning their weddings realize pretty quickly just how expensive weddings can be. Depending on where couples tie the knot, the costs can stretch into the tens of thousands of dollars, leaving many young men and women to scram-

ble to find ways to trim costs without trimming quality. Many couples look for ways to cut wedding costs, and couples facing that very dilemma should know that there are several ways to save money but still host the wedding of their dreams.

Guest list Guest lists can consume a significant portion of couples' wedding budgets. When compiling the guest list, couples should keep in mind that guests will need save-the-date cards, invitations, catered meals (including cocktail hour, dinner and dessert), drinks, and gifts (including hotel gift bags and wedding favors). So the cost per guest will be more than just the per person cost of the meal couples negotiate with their caterer. Couples who can pare their guests lists down to just family and close friends can save a substantial amount of money without affecting their ceremonies. Reception A couple's wedding reception also will chew up a lot of their wedding budgets. But there are ways to reduce the costs of receptions, too. Couples planning on

potentially expensive part of many couples' weddings. The bride needs her bouquet, as do her bridesmaids. In addition, many couples decorate their ceremony space with flowers, and of course reception table centerpieces typically include flowers as well. When working with your florist, request in-season flowers, which will cost considerably less than exotic flowers that are out of season. In addition, let your florist know your budget and ask that he or she recommend flowers that won't break the bank. Gifts While it's become customary to prepare gift bags for guests

staying in hotels, couples should not go overboard with such gifts. Gift bags need not include more than a snack, a bottle of water and a homemade thank-you card. Couples also should not break the bank with regard to reception gifts, which have also become a standard offering. Keep such gifts simple and inexpensive, even opting for homemade gifts if you and your future spouse are skilled with crafts. Wedding costs can be eye-opening for couples preparing to walk down the aisle. Fortunately, there are many ways to cut costs without cutting quality.

Afternoon receptions also can be alcoholfree, saving couples even more money. If a nighttime reception is a must-have, choose a limited cash bar instead of an open bar.

Making the wedding of your dreams a reality may require some creativity. It can be challenging to organize all of the creative ideas swimming around in your head, but inspiration boards may be able to help. Inspiration boards, sometimes referred to as idea boards, are commonly used by interior designers, artists, writers, and even wedding planners. Such boards can serve a great purpose when starting a new project, especially if all of your creative ideas seem to lack cohesion. Sometimes seeing things together, rather than in bits and pieces on their own, can fuel even more creativity. Inspiration boards can include magazine clippings, photo-

graphs, fabric swatches, quotes or literary passages, and color swatches. As the idea board grows, you may find a common denominator among your inspirational elements. This can help determine a theme for your wedding or jumpstart other planning. While poster boards may be more traditional idea boards, creative ideas also can be compiled in binders or scrapbooks, which work especially well at keeping all items organized and concise. Later, when photographers, florists and other vendors have been booked, you can attach receipts or agreements to the inspiration board for future reference. This keeps all of your important wedding information in one place rather than requiring you to search through different folders or files for important documents. In addition, if friends or family members ask for advice on vendors and planning their own weddings in the future, you can readily access your inspiration board. Inspiration boards are used by top design professionals and can be a handy resource for couples planning their weddings.

Hospital in Fort Wayne. Evans was transported to Marion General Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries and released. According to the Grant County Sheriff ’s Department, Evans was preliminarily charged with three counts of Operating While Intoxicated Causing Death, one count of Operating While Intoxicated Resulting in Bodily Injury, and three counts of Reckless Homicide. Bond was set at $300,000.00, and he is being held in the Grant County Jail. M a n c h e s t e r University President Dave McFadden, in a letter to students, faculty and staff Sunday afternoon, said, “Please hold all of the people who love these students in your thoughts and prayers…We can’t begin to understand the tragic loss of Nerad, Brook, and Kirubel, young lives so full of promise. The MU community grieves their passing and will miss them deeply.” Mangai was from Jos, Nigeria, and was a sophomore biologychemistry major. Dagnew was a sophomore from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, majoring in biologychemistry, and Hailu was a first-year medical technology major, also from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Counseling services were made available to students, faculty and staff. A memorial service is also anticipated with details still to come when plans are confirmed. Meanwhile, friends, students, faculty and staff are still trying to make sense of the tragedy. A gathering for the MU community was held Sunday night, originally planned for Petersime Chapel, but was moved to the Jo Young Switzer Center due to the number of people who attended the gathering to grieve and share thoughts and stories of their friends. Campus Pastor Walt Wiltschek started the gathering, expressing his thoughts and sadness. “When I woke up to the news of the shooting in Kalamazoo (Mich.), I thought it couldn’t get any worse,” he said. “Then I heard from a student whose cousin wasn’t supposed to make it

through the day, and I thought it surely couldn’t get any worse. And then it got much, much worse with the news of this horrible tragedy that has hit our campus today. “We grieve with you, with each other tonight as we pause to remember Nerad, Brook, and Kirubel, and our prayers are with Israel,” Pastor Wiltschek continued. “We join our grieving together with the hearts of those in this room, around this community, and in far off places as prayers and thoughts are being sent to us and to the families involved today.” Hundreds of students, staff, faculty members and friends then shared their thoughts, memories, tears and laughter with each other. “I had very limited contact with these students, but every time I have talked to them, had lunch with them, or had conversations in classes, they have been nothing but kind, friendly, and helpful,” one said. Another student noted, “They say as an R.A., one of the biggest fears is to lose a resident. Not only did I lose a resident today, I lost a sister. They are active members of this community, and although we’ve lost three, we will stay strong as Manchester.” “I saw these students all the time, but I never got to know them on a personal level,” another attendee noted. “I saw them in the hallway all the time. I always heard them laughing, and I always saw them smiling. It’s just really hard because I really love this community, and I won’t get to hear their laughs, and I won’t get to see their smiles anymore. “But, I know that their close friends will

always remember them and have those good memories, and they will still bring smiles and laughter.” The North Manchester Town Council offered its sympathy in a short press release Monday morning. “North Manchester’s Town Council, on behalf of the entire North Manchester community, expresses its deepest sympathy to the Manchester University community on the tragic and untimely loss of three students,” the release said. “The families of the students, their close friends, and the students, faculty and staff of the University are in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers at this time of grief.” As news of the accident spread, social media filled with condolences. Former Manchester University President Jo Young Switzer expressed her condolences on the University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs Facebook page. “You are in my heart and prayers as you grieve,” Young Switzer wrote. “We lost three students of great promise. My heartfelt sympathies to their families and friends.” On the University’s main Facebook page, Jeannie Campbell wrote, “We at Beavercreek COB in Beavercreek, Ohio wish to let you know we are lifting up Manchester University, the family and friends of these students in (prayer). We have several alumni in our congregation and are saddened by this tragic event. “We will also be in prayer for the driver and family of the car that hit them.” Other comments on the page expressed sympathies to the fami-

lies and the University’s campus. “My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone that have been affected by such a horrible situation,” commenter Kay Hines wrote. “Prayers are with North Manchester college and all the staff and students.” “So sorry for the loss of your students and friends,” Sandy Gindling McIntosh added, “may God help the families affected by this horrific accident, also students, friends and teachers. May God be with all of you!” Indiana Gov. Mike Pence posted on Twitter, “Deeply saddened by the loss of 3 Manchester University students this weekend. I urge Hoosiers to keep t h e i r families/friends/community in your prayers.” Marylou Habecker, wife of Taylor University President Gene Habecker, expressed condolences on Manchester University’s Facebook page. “From all of us at Taylor University, we grieve with you at this very tragic news,” Habecker wrote. “Our hearts and prayers have been with you from the moment we received word today. Our prayers will continue. “We understand the deep pain your community is experiencing, as we went through similar loss on our campus,” she wrote in a second post. “Breath by breath and moment by moment and prayer by prayer … is the only way to get through. “The Lord gives each of us what we need for each moment and we believe that He is doing that for your community and the families involved. Our prayers continue.”

The Paper of Wabash. “Mr. Davidson’s knowledge as the historian of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will present an interesting evening for our community that I hope many citizens will take advantage of. “Wabash has a long history with the Indy 500,” he continued, “having Wabash native Jimmy Daywalt as a partici-

pant in the race, and Dick Miller providing $1,000 worth of clothing from his store to the winner of the race for years, it is only fitting that Wabash helps the Indianapolis Speedway celebrate the 100th running of the Indy 500 through this speaker series. “I look forward to spending an evening learning the history of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”

Born in England, Davidson saved up his own money and first visited Indianapolis in May 1964. He quickly made friends with then IMS radio announcer Sid Collins, and was quickly and warmly welcomed by the Speedway staff as well as participants. Collins even invited Davidson to make a brief appearance as a guest on the 1964

race broadcast. In 1966, Collins arranged for Davidson to host a 15-minute radio program entitled “Dial Davidson.” In 1971 the show became an hour-long program, eventually morphing into “The Talk of Gasoline Alley,” which can still be heard today during the month of May. In 2010, Davidson was inducted into the Auto Racing Hall

of Fame at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and in 2013 he was inducted into the Richard M. Fairbanks Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame. The program is free and open to the public. The Elks Lodge will host a taco and nacho night that evening, with tacos being available for $1 each and nachos being available for $3.

“So coming today helps Cub Scouts pass rank advancement needed for citizenship.” About 40 Boy Scouts were in the skating rink working on merit badges as well. Following the hands-on activities, a

brief program, featuring a flag presentation, songs and a welcome from Wabash Mayor Scott Long took place. Long noted that he was a Cub Scout as a youngster. “It was a great time for me,” he said. “Scouting builds a

foundation on your life. You young men who are here today are building a foundation for your future life and what you’re going to become. “You don’t have to look very far in U.S. history to see presidents, athletes, astro-

nauts, who all started out in Scouting.” Following the program, the group marched from the Honeywell Center to the Wabash County Courthouse for a brief ceremony there.

“So (until the new hospital opens) the patients will deliver in Huntington but will be able to see Dr. Reese and Shelly here in Wabash,” Custer-Mitchell said. “At two points during their pregnancy they’ll have to go to Huntington to see Dr. Stamm. “But Dr. Stamm is also coming back over and doing some pre-natal work here in town. We’re very excited about that.” Returning the service was discussed at length, both locally and with the Parkview board. “We’ve had several meetings here with the strategic planning people and the OB Service Line people and some ( P a r k v i e w Physicians Group) people about it, so that everyone was

involved,” CusterMitchell said. “We had two or three meetings where we talked about it in depth. We looked at data, looked at all the information to say, does it make sense and can we do it?” She said the ultimate goal was to bring back the service if at all possible. “We all said, ‘This makes sense. We think we can justify it,’” Custer-Mitchell continued. “We think it’s best for patient care and for patients in Wabash and young mothers in Wabash County. “From there it went to corporate and within the Parkview system it was discussed for another few months. It’s been discussed quite a bit.” At least two more obstetricians will be

It will be located south of U.S. 24 and east of the Wellbrooke of Wabash campus. “We’re moving along with the floor plan,” CusterMitchell said. “We’ve figured out how we want to position it on the site.” Officials are now looking at the internal design, and will begin meeting, possibly sometime this week, to get more details about the various department needs. “So it’s moving along,” she said. “We’re excited.” Construction is expected to take between 18 months and two years, so if ground is broken in June it will be sometime in early to mid

2018 for the facility to be opened. A decision on what to do with the current hospital building, located at 710 N. East St., has yet to be made. C u s t e r- M i t c h e l l said Parkview officials would not allow the building to stand vacant and deteriorate. The local hospital board has considered putting together a subcommittee to figure out what to do with the building. “One of the board members thought maybe we should put out (Requests for Proposals) for the building as is, and one for the land,” she said. “We may do that; we may not.” There is money set aside in case the building must be demolished. “When we affiliated with Parkview we put aside enough money to tear down this building, assuming we would have to do that,” Custer-Mitchell said. “If we don’t have to, great. But we earmarked $2 million to tear it down. “We will not leave the building standing and deteriorating.”

VIEWPOINT Indiana Farm Bureau supports raising taxes for roads Dear Editor: Indiana Farm Bureau’s position on taxes has traditionally been one of less, not more. Since the organization’s founding in 1919, we have fought for an equitable tax structure, and are supportive of SB 308 and the

General Assembly’s efforts to fix an out-ofsync farmland property tax formula. As the newly elected president of Indiana Farm Bureau, I’ve traveled the state talking to our members, and crippling property tax bills remain a major con-

cern for them. However, another important issue to Indiana farmers is the need for better local roads. For the past two years, the Farm Bureau membership has supported a policy that might surprise some. Farmers

depend on local roads to do their work and get their products to market. Because of the deteriorating condition of the state’s local road system, our voting delegates adopted a policy position that supports a data-driven solution for long-term road

funding. They also supported finding more money for state and local roads and bridges from a range of sources, including raising fuel taxes. There are a number of road funding bills in the Statehouse this session, and each has merit. We support

Referendum needs to be passed Dear Editor: The data is unmistakably clear and there is no margin of error. Eighty of Indiana’s 92 counties are experiencing “absolute population decline.” The definition is simple, if the net outward migration minus the net inward migration, plus the difference between births and deaths results in a negative number, a county is experiencing absolute population decline. Wabash County is one of those losing population.

Of the 12 that are not losing population, six are basically neutral and six are actually growing. All 80 counties that are losing population are aging rapidly and Wabash County is the first to have 20 percent of its population be 65 years old or older.... Since 1980 the Wabash County population declined by 12 percent but the public school enrollment also declined by 38 percent. Wabash County is rapidly aging. Countless studies

Consolidation is the only viable answer Dear Editor: The community of Wabash’s local population has been declining for several years along with our entire public school enrollment, so logically the size of our public school system has to be downsized and all or local public school systems consolidated. The local school board has been aware of this well known fact for several years. We do have some viable options; our public school system still offers a very generous and above-average salary and benefit package for our employees that can be revisited and adjusted and with the downsizing of a business fewer employees will be required. We also need new management in the local bus routes. We

have local school bus stops two blocks apart and school buses driving around on top of each other with the buses three-quarters empty of students. Thousands of wasted tax dollars could be saved in this area alone. We have a management issue and not an issue that a new tax burden on the local property owners will resolve. Did we all forget why property tax caps were implemented in the first place? It was so home ownership could be affordable and to stop wasteful, unneeded spending. We are first with one thing in Wabash County; we already have the highest tax levy in the State of Indiana without this new levy. Vote no. – Gregory D. Music, Wabash

by entities such as the IUPUI Public Policy Institute, the Purdue Center for Regional Development, Ball State University, and others establish that developing a high quality of place is the best way to reverse these trends. We can encourage growth by investing in ourselves to improve the quality of life and attract new residents in the process. Wabash is fortunate that it is in fact an employment center 40 miles from downtown Fort Wayne, 36 miles from Kokomo, and 30 miles from Warsaw. An effective economic development strategy today includes attracting people and incomes. As we attract new residents economic activity will increase, the nature of the workforce will shift to more knowledge base, which includes advanced manufacturing. Renewed economic activity and growth will impact our economy from top to bottom and will reverse the continued declining population. High quality public education attracts parents who value education. This generally means that our educational attain-

ment rate will improve with increases in per capita income, growth in school enrollment, increases in assessed value, and a growing population. The increased demand will stabilize our residential market thus preserving the wealth accumulated by our citizens over a lifetime of keeping and maintaining a home. High quality education is one of the key drivers of healthy communities. Good schools mean that many young parents will consider moving into a community. Public schools that are unable to offer advanced math, advanced science, languages beyond the typical Spanish, German or French will not attract new families. Wabash is certified as an early college high school which means that many classes can offer both high school and college credits. This is indeed an attractive feature, one that can and should be marketed to encourage growth in enrollment. But in order for it to be effective, we must be able to offer sufficient dual credit classes. The

need for this very minor increase in our levy and tax rate is essential to compensate for the several budget cuts imposed over the past few years. If Wabash City Schools are to continue with our drive to provide a world class education, to develop a reputation as a community that values education, to make Wabash a truly desirable place in which to live, work, or to raise a family, we must approve this modest increase. As a taxpayer without any children in the school I will vote in favor of the proposal. I know that if I want the value of my home to remain constant or better yet to increase, I know that we must develop a demand for our real estate. Increasing demand is the only way that we can do this. Improving the quality of place in Wabash, in part through enhancing public education, is an essential component. I urge all to join me in supporting this measure for the sake of our children, our grandchildren and for the betterment of Wabash. – William S. Konyha, Wabash

HB 1001, which offers a long-term infrastructure solution that includes both state and local roads. In addition to indexing the gas tax to regain lost buying power, the bill directs excess state reserves toward roads, establishes local taxing options, redirects 5 of the 7 cents of sales tax collected on fuel to be spent on roads and bridges, and increases the cigarette tax by $1 per pack to offset general fund sales tax that is redirected to infrastructure expenditures. Tapping local option income tax reserves, as SB 67 does, offers the chance to get money to critical needs faster. We believe that SB 67 is necessary because local communities have immediate road

requirements and need cash now. We heard from some legislators who are committed to putting the best longterm funding package together that it’s not a matter of “if,” but “when.” We believe that means a matter of months, not years. What I’ve heard about road funding from Indiana Farm Bureau members all over the state is “it’s time to get this done.” We urge state lawmakers to consider all options. Indiana agriculture needs a long-term, sustainable solution to fix our crumbling local roads and bridges. The rural economy depends on it. — Randy Kron, president of Indiana Farm Bureau and a grain farmer in Va n d e r b u r g h County.

Schindler signs with Indiana Wesleyan University Wabash County By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Northfield senior Braydon Schindler signed his letter of intent to play golf at Indiana Wesleyan University on Monday, Feb. 15. The winner of the 2015 Wabash County Amateur Golf To u r n a m e n t , Schindler is now fulfilling his childhood dream to play college golf and “it feels good.” “It’s been a dream ever since I was 12,” Schindler said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “God gave me a gift and I’m glad I’m able to use it in the next level for college. “I’m glad I was able to find (my passion). I’m glad God gave it to me, to be honest, and we’ve all got a gift. We just have to find it, but God gave us all special abilities.” Schindler’s passion for golf began when his family moved from Indianapolis to Wabash, just down the Honeywell Golf Course. “When I was young, one of my sis-

ter’s friend’s brothers played and I played baseball back then,” he said, “but was kind of just something cool and so I was kind just messing around with it. Then when we moved back here from Indy, I took (golf) up and I dropped baseball and I never looked back since.” Schindler’s parents, Todd and Krissa Schindler, joined their son at the signing and said they were very proud of him. “He’s worked hard,” Mrs. Schindler said. “It has been a goal for him to play college golf since he started playing golf as 10- or 12-yearsold,” Mr. Schindler added. “He’s worked hard at it and looked for a school that would allow him to play golf and he’s going for nursing, so it’d allow him to pursue the degree he wanted and be a student athlete, and Wesleyan University was that fit.” Schindler’s passion for golf shows that he has “a lot of drive to achieve his goals,”

Braydon Schindler (front row, center) signs his letter of intent to attend Indiana Wesleyan University on Monday, Feb. 15. At the signing, he was joined by (front row, from left) sister Paige Schindler, father Todd Schindler, mother Krissa Schindler, (back row, from left) Northfield Golf Coach Eric Terrell, teammate Caleb Kroh, Indiana Wesleyan University Golf Coach Austin Conroy, Rose Wenrich and Honeywell Golf Course Pro Mel Thomas. Photo by Emma Rausch Mr. Schindler said. “He doesn’t give up,” Mrs. Schindler added. “He works hard until he gets where he wants to go and he did that last year.” IWU Golf Coach Austin Conroy told The Paper that when he scouted Schindler, he scouted him for his talent as well as good character. “I really look for, first of all, good kids and they come from good families,” Conroy said, “and so that was the utmost of importance to me. I looked at the way Braydon handled himself on the course and I watched

him in the state tournament last year, 2015, and the way he handles himself above all. “You know,” he continued, “you can teach golf from a skills standpoint. I know that he’s had very, very good fundamentals, but just the way that he interacts with people and the way that he carries himself was really what set him apart for me.” However, despite his character and golf abilities, Schindler will still have to earn his way onto the green, according to Conroy. “Everyone has to

earn it,” he explained. “Him coming in as a freshman, we’re going to have a younger team, but definitely senior leadership when he comes in that is going to demand that he performs and so the first year, it might be tough for him to make the line up. Certainly, he can do it. He’s shown that he has the work ethic. “So we hope that he’s going to be up there in the top five lineup and travel with everybody. So as a freshman, it takes a little bit of work do that but he certainly has the ability to do that.”

The final week of the regular season is upon us in boy’s high school basketball. The Manchester Sectional begins on March 1. The schedule is a Tuesday-Friday combination. On Tuesday, Wabash travels to Eastern. Elsewhere, it will be Senior Night at Northfield and Southwood as the Norse host Huntington North and the Knights entertains Eastbrook.

Library invites book, food lovers to new club By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash Carnegie Public Library invites the public to read and eat at the first meeting of the Foodie Book Club on Tuesday, Feb. 23. The club, which is open to the public, is meant to bring individuals together by tying in two topics, books and food, according to Rachel Parks, assistant circulation and programming manager. Attendees will

bring food items inspired by any book of their choosing and can be homemade or store-bought. “The food is a conversation starter for talking about whatever you’re reading at the moment or what you’ve read in the past,” Parks told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s more about the books than it is about the food,” she continued. “But food has a way of bringing people together I think and we feel like books can do that too; but we

don’t necessarily talk about them as much, or you talk about them with your friends but not with other people that you don’t know. “So I think it’s an interesting way to get to know some new people in a new way and see too how they interpret things, because chances are there’s a book that you’ve already read that you never thought to do that with. That’s what we’re hoping for.” The club’s first meeting will not have

a specific focus and is open to all book lovers, genres and corresponding inspired foods. “There is no specific book for this first one,” Parks said. “You can bring any food inspired by any book that you’ve read, fiction or non. It can be inspired by the setting of the book or the subject matter of the book. It can be can be a cookbook, but it can also be something that a character in a book eats or just

something that inspires you that way. “We’re just trying to get people to think about the two things together. It’s more a way to facilitate conversation about books in general.” The local library has hosted book discussions, but this will be its first book club, according to Parks. “We’ve always had a book discussion but we’ve never had book clubs before,” she said. “What I like about them is that

they are more informal, they’re smaller groups so everyone gets a chance to freely discuss things, it’s not as structured and they also seem to be more concentrated on one common interest. “It gives you a focal point and a starting point but it’s not all about that.” The club is designed to be informal, Parks continued. “We’re all just kind of going to sit around and talk and nobody has to make any pres-

entation or speech about what they like,” she said. “You just talk to the person sitting next to you about why you made what you made.” The Foodie Book Club will meet in the Wabash Carnegie Public Library’s program room at 6 p.m. No library card is required to attend the event. However, it is required to sign up in advance at the library’s Information Desk or by calling 260563-2971.

singer Glenn Frey

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A fundraising concert for the Historic Eagles Theatre will take place at the theatre on Wednesday, March 2. In addition, the event, which features upward of 20 local musicians, will pay homage to Glenn Frey, a founding member of the band The Eagles. There will be three separate acts featur-

ing the various musicians, organizer Bobby Velasquez said. The musicians will play about 21 different Eagles songs, and all the participants are donating their time and talents. “The idea started on Facebook as my suggestion shortly after Glenn Frey passed away,” Velasquez said. “I had suggested the idea and Wade Weaver suggested it should be done at the Eagles. I contacted the Honeywell and we came up with a date.” Work on the project began in late January. “The musicians that are contributing

have put together some these songs in an impressive manner in a very short time, which is an indication of the caliber of players that we have to work with,” Velasquez said. A guitar teacher, Velasquez noted that the Eagles songs were generally used to teach his students. “From easy strumming parts, to intricate picked guitar lines, their songs were well known and loved by many,” he said. “How many people don’t know the phrase ‘Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona’ or the iconic and guitar master-

Boys’ sectional basketball pairings drawn By Bill Barrows There are 398 high schools who have a team eligible to play in the IHSAA Basketball Tourney, commonly and affectionately known as Hoosier Hysteria. It is a type of “flu” that seems to hit around the first part of March every year when no matter what your team’s record was during the season, that team has the same chance as all of the others to win their sectional and move on through the

tournament. So, for the 106th time, the draw has been made and here are the pairings for Sectional #37, hosted by Manchester High School that includes the Wabash County schools. It all begins on Tuesday March 1, at 7p.m. with Wabash (515) squaring off against county foe Southwood (173). On Wednesday, March 2, at 6 p.m., Lewis Cass (14-6) tip it off against Northfield (11-9) at 6pm, followed at 8 p.m. with Oak Hill (17-3)

playing Rochester (3-18). Manchester (13-8), who got the bye, will play the Wabash/Southwood winner on Friday night March 4th at 6pm followed by the game between the Wednesday evening winners. The Championship game is scheduled for a 7:30 tipoff on Saturday March 5th. Follow the games on Wabash WebTV for live coverage, as well as The Paper Facebook and Twitter for updates as they unfold.

Heartland Career Center will receive a portion of $1.345 million in grant funding to expand its CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining program following an announcement made by Gov. Mike Pence on Thursday, Feb. 18. HCC Director Mark Hobbs told The Paper of Wabash County that the Center was surprised to receive this funding. “Our group was very optimistic,” Hobbs said. “When we were pursuing it, there were I think 35 big groups that pursued this and there were only 13 winners. So we were to fortunate.” Pence announced

The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership and Northeast Indiana Works prepared the grant request for the funds. The region’s proposal also included $402,400 in matching funds. The grant will allow the region to “further develop and promote seamless career pathways for both secondary students during the day and adult learners in the evenings,” according to Gary Gatman, Northeast Indiana Works executive vice president of strategic initiatives. “There is a great regional demand currently for workers in manufacturing and the skilled trades,” he continued, “and that demand is expected to grow at least through the decade. “We are immensely grateful that the state has found merit in our plan to bolster the successful career pathway work that has already been accomplished in Northeast Indiana.” The grant will include equipment purchases and the development or upgrade of five Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, including Heartland Career Center’s CNC machining program. “Well it’ll help us expand,” Hobbs said. “We already have precision machining at our school, but what we currently have is manual lathes and mills, so it’s just operated by hand.

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

February 24, 2016

Skill UP Indiana! to fund Heartland Career Center machining program ... continued from page 32 “The CNC equipment that we have is probable in the1970’s and 80’s type equipment, so it’s not the newest and we

want to provide training opportunities for students on the best equipment and this gives us that chance.”

Other areas assisted by the regional grant funds include a new Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning

(HVAC) and plumbing program at Fort Wayne Community Schools Career Academy at Anthis, an upgraded

HVAC program at the Impact Institute, a new welding program at the Area 18 Career and Technical Education Cooperative and a new welding program at the Tucker Career and Technology Center. If anyone is interested in seeing the new equipment, Hobbs said they have an open invitation to stop by the Center. “If any parent would like to stop and see the program or stop and see us,” Hobbs said, “they have an open invitation.

Once we get this equipment set up, they’re more than welcome to stop by and we’ll show them what’s going on, especially parents or students of any age.” Partnership officials anticipate outcomes from the grant funds include “200 additional high school students participating in manufacturing or skilled trades programs annually … and 275 adult workers participating in technical training during evening classes,” according to the

press release. Officials also anticipate that 175 of those additional high school students and 234 of the adult workers will earn industry-reco gniz ed credentials. These outcomes will “help fill a critical need in northeast Indiana, where it is estimated the manufacturing and construction industries alone will need up to 26,000 new workers in the next decade,” according to the release.

Wabash Police join statewide patrols By The Paper staff The Wabash City Police Department will be on the lookout for impaired and dangerous drivers. In collaboration with 250 law enforcement agencies across Indiana, WPD officers will be working over-

time from March 4 through March 27 to identify impaired motorists. In addition to impaired drivers, officers are always on the lookout for other traffic violations such as aggressive drivers and unrestrained motorists. Cpl. Chad Galligan

reminds motorists, “If you plan to drink, designate a sober driver.” Impaired driving is one of the nation’s most deadly problems. The WPD urge citizens to report an impaired driver on the road by calling local law enforcement dispatch or 911.
