County dries out from storms By Emma Rausch and Joseph Slacian news@thepaperofwabash.com
Wabash County is starting to dry out after last week’s series of rainstorms that caused several road closures due to flooding. Local rivers in Wabash County are receding, reported Keith Walters, Wabash County Emergency Management executive director, in an email to The Paper of Wabash County. “Rain and thunderstorms are forecasted as possibilities over the (continued on page 20)

Local Health Department at risk of losing 2016 grant funds By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Honeywell Pool opens with emotional ceremony By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Mayor Robert Vanlandingham, joined by children from the Wabash County YMCA and Little Friends Daycare, cut the ribbon on the refurbished Honeywell Pool on Tuesday, June 16. As prestigious as the moment was, perhaps the highlight of the day was when Vanlandingham told a story about something that happened more than 54 years ago. On May 30, 1961, childhood friends Tim Kersey and Chuck Spencer stood in line, anxiously awaiting the grand opening of the Honeywell Pool. Spencer was first in line, while Kersey stood directly behind his friend in the second spot. Spencer’s goal was to be the first in the pool, while Kersey was satisfied to be the second. When the gates opened, Spencer raced toward the diving boards, just as fast as his young legs could take him. Meanwhile, Kersey had a change of plans. Rather than follow his friend to the diving board, he made his way directly to the pool and jumped in, thus becoming the first person to enter the Honeywell Pool.
The Wabash County Health Department may be declined $33,000 in grant money next year as a result of a decision made by the County Council in February. At a council meeting on Feb. 23, in a 6-1 vote, the council passed a resolution authorizing the transfer of $104,821.43 from the local Health Maintenance Fund (LHMF) to the County Health Fund (CHF). Council member Randy Curless cast the lone vote against. The transfer’s purpose was to assist the local Health Department pay for payroll and other operating expenses,
according to Council chair Mike Ridenour. “Toward the end of January of this year, I was made aware that County Health Fund cash balances were insufficient to meet upcoming payroll and it was a continuing problem,” Ridenour told The Paper of Wabash County. “The proposal from the Health Department was a temporary loan from our Rainy Day Fund, but there were [two] big issues with that. First, Rainy Day Fund wasn’t adequately funded to do this at the time with other allocations needed for issues that had previously come to light and, more importantly, it did not solve the cash balance issue that had (continued on page 17)

Tim Kersey (center) poses with his grandson, Layne Denton, and Luke Spencer, grandson of Kersey’s late friend, Charles Spencer. Luke was the first person in the refurbished Honeywell Pool, recreating a scene reminiscent of the boys’ grandfathers 54 years ago when the pool first opened. Photo by Joseph Slacian The two boys became lifelong friends, and often joked about that day in 1961. When they learned of the $1.9 million pool renovation project, they had it in their minds that they were going to recreate the scene from 54 years ago. This time, Kersey said, he would let his friend
become the first person to enter the pool. The pair watched as changes were made to the pool. A zero entry pool took the place of the kiddie and junior pools. A wheelchair lift was placed on the side, allowing those in wheelchairs access to the facil(continued on page 21)
Local officials are downplaying an Internet report that lists Wabash as the worst city in Indiana to get a job. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham and Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, put little value in the report, prepared by the website Zippia.com. According to the report, Wabash is the worst of the state’s 78 largest cities to find a job. Peru is second on the list, followed by Marion. Also listed, by order of ranking, are Connersville, Gary, Muncie, East Chicago, Michigan City, Crawfordsville and Bedford. The website limited its analysis to those places in Indiana
with at least 10,000 people and isn’t a township, according to the report. The criteria considered, it continued, was the unemployment rate, recent job growth, future job growth, income taxes and median household income. Of Wabash, the report said, the city “takes the dubious distinction of being the worst city in Indiana to get a job.” “While the city’s unemployment ranks in the top 50 percent of all cities in Indiana, it comes in dead last for recent job growth, future job growth and income taxes,” the report continued. “So even though you may have a job in Wabash, you might not have one for long and the local government takes more money from you than any other city in the Hoosier state.” Both Vanlandingham and Gillenwater questioned the source of the report, (continued on page 6)

USDA opens enrollment period for Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage safety-net programs From the USDA News Department U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that eligible producers may now formally enroll in the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs for 2014 and 2015. The enrollment period begins June 17, 2015, and will end Sept. 30, 2015. “The extensive outreach campaign conducted by USDA since the 2014 Farm Bill was enacted, along with extending deadlines, is central to achieving an expected high level of participation,” said Vilsack. “We worked with universities to simplify these complex programs by providing online tools so producers could explore
how program election options would affect their operation in different market conditions; these tools were presented to almost 3,000 organizations across the country. The Farm Service Agency also sent more than 5 million educational notices to producers nationwide and participated in over 4,880 educational events with more than 447,000 attendees. I am proud of the many committed USDA employees who worked hard over the last several months to provide producers support to help them make these important decisions.” The new programs, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, trigger financial protections for agricultural producers when market forces cause substantial drops in crop prices or revenues.
More than 1.76 million farmers have elected ARC or PLC. Previously, 1.7 million producers had enrolled to receive direct payments (the program replaced with ARC and PLC by the 2014 Farm Bill). This means more farms have elected ARC or PLC than previously enrolled under previously administered programs. Nationwide, 96 percent of soybean farms, 91 percent of corn farms, and 66 percent of wheat farms elected ARC. 99 percent of long grain rice farms, 99 percent of peanut farms, and 94 percent of medium grain rice farms elected PLC. For data about other crops and state-by-state program election results go to www.fsa.usda.gov/arc -plc.

TER — Each year, the C o m m u n i t y Foundation distributes nearly 70 scholarships totaling more than $150,000 to students from Wabash County and students of several colleges, universities, and seminaries. Scholarships support students entering traditional colleges and universities and also students pursuing certifications from vocational training schools. Most recipients are high school seniors entering college in the fall, but students who reentered college or delayed entry into college also qualify for certain scholarships. These scholarships are the county’s way of expressing deep confidence in young people and offering opportunities to pursue a degree or training with less financial burden. The C o m m u n i t y Foundation congratulates this year’s graduates on their selection for scholarship awards and wishes all Wabash County graduates all the best in their future endeavors.

knowing the kinds of efforts we have ongoing.” Va n l a n d i n g h a m was far more blunt in his response. “I don’t know who or what Zippia is,” the mayor said. “I do not know what their reputation is or what their qualifications are for ‘ranking’ cities in Indiana. I do not believe they are a well-recognized research firm like a Gallup Poll, Pew Research Center, Heritage Foundation or Brookings Institute. “I also do not know what parameters they used. They said the criteria included job growth – but growth over what period of time, the last year, the last five years, the last fifty years? The time period studied has a significant bearing on the amount of growth.” Vanlandingham also took exception to the firm’s reference to future job growth. “They say they measured future growth,” he said. “How did they do that? I know they did not consult with me or Keith Gillenwater of the Economic Development Group, and I am unaware of who would have a better idea of what the potential for future growth is. The mayor also was critical of the firm’s reference to the city’s tax rate. “They highlighted us as having the highest tax rate in I n d i a n a , ”
Vanlandingham said. “If you go by income taxes, which is what they listed as their criteria, that may be true, but if you also account for the fact that Wabash has one of the lowest, if not lowest, property taxes in the State of Indiana, our total tax rate would not put us in the worst position as Zippia has us. All of this reminds me of something I have heard many times — just because it is on the Internet does not mean it is true.” Gillenwater noted that the city has had a longstanding effort to improve itself and its quality of life. “This community, over the last dozen years, has put a lot of effort in recreating itself and to diversifying the economy and to making investments in the quality of place and quality of life initiatives, and making investments in workforce initiatives and all those kinds of things that you have to have to compete in a 21st century worldwide economy,” he said. “Those things take time, and I think we’ve shown progress on that.” He also noted that much of those efforts took place during a time when the economy nationwide was not the best. “We had companies that left,” he said. “We had companies that couldn’t weather that storm. We had companies that were barely able to weather that storm, but have come
out of it and are going strong again. “So I think that’s a testament to the companies we have here. I think it’s a testament to this community. I think that buy-in by the community can be seen in such things as being named a Stellar Community, being named an America’s Best Community quarterfinalist earlier this year. I think you can see that from the Wall Street Journal article that was published earlier this year. I think you can see that when you pick up one of our newspapers or listen to the radio stations and you see an announcement from a local company that’ s hiring or a local company that’s expanding. “I think there is a lot of positive momentum.” Va n l a n d i n g h a m also noted that the city survived “one of the worst economic downturns this country has experienced in quite some time.” He talked about a number of successes the city has experienced. “We have seen new industries, like Living Essentials, move here and then have three major expansions,” he said. “We have developed a new business park and quickly f illed it with three new investments. We have had established firms such as Ford Meter Box and Thermafiber, continue to grow and be successful.
“We have even had some firms experience significant economic challenges, some to the point of bankruptcy, recover and continue to provide significant and meaningful jobs for our citizens when we thought there was a real chance those jobs would disappear. Gillenwater noted there is a good reason why the top three cities listed in the rankings are all within 30 minutes drive time of one another. “We do have difficulties geographically where we’re located,” he said. “We’re not right next to a major metropolitan area. We’re not in the middle of lake country; we’re not in the mountains or a costal area. In Indiana, we’re the mid-central point of Indianapolis, Chciago, Detroit, Fort Wayne, whatever you want to call it. “To me, I think that’s a good from a transportation aspect because you can get to Chicago in a reasonable amount of time. You can get to Indianapolis, or Fort Wayne or Detroit. But at the end of the day, companies like to be around big cities, depending on what they need. Whether it’s the size of the workforce they have to pull from or what, those are challenges.” Like Gillenwater, Vanlandingham also noted many of the distinctions the city has received over the years. “This is what I

know,” the mayor said, “the State of Indiana designated Wabash a ‘Stellar Community,’ one of only eight so far. Frontier, a nationally known communications company, has designated us one of the 50 best communities in the nation. “Our citizens – individuals, corporations, civic organizations and governmental units - have all worked hard over the past 20 years making a huge financial investment in this community. We have the Ford Theater, the Y, the Charley Creek Inn and many new businesses downtown. “I ask everyone to just look at what is happening here; see how many downtown owners have, and still are, spending money beautifying and filling the downtown storefronts. I can tell you from my meetings and conversations with the mayors of most of the surrounding communities that we are the envy of our neighbors. “None of this would be possible if the citizens of this community did not have pride in the community, optimism about its future and a belief that people can find jobs, make a good living and have live an enriched life here.” Bill Konyha, former EDG President and CEO, believes Zippia is ignoring many positive aspects of the community. “The Wabash unemployment rate, one of the lowest in the state is one story, a very positive story,” Konyha wrote on a Facebook posting. “Another key part of the story that is not mentioned is that the Wabash Labor Penetration Rate continues to increase. It is still not nearly as good as it should be but it is improving. “The median household income is one measure, however, most economists suggest that per capita income is a more meaningful measurement. The median household income is the benchmark establishing the point at which half of the households in a community are higher and half lower. Per capita income measures all personal income and divides it (continued on page 19)

Tea to benefit American Girl Project Bob Zahm
By The Paper staff A local youngster will host a celebration this week designed to help other little girls. The youngster, 9year-old Davy Falder, will host an American Girl Tea Party from 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, June 25, at Wabash Friends Church to raise money to provide American Girl dolls to girls who are in foster care. She also collects used American Girl dolls from older girls who no longer play with them. “I clean them up, make sure they have a cute outfit, pray over them and donate them to a young girl in the foster care system,”
she said. “I have also had the privilege of donating three brand new dolls.” The American Girl Project has donated nine dolls so far. “I love meeting each girl and watching as she meets her doll for the first time,” Davy said. The heart of the project is that Jesus loves these girls. “My prayer is that the dolls I give away will remind my new friends of the hope and future Jesus has planned for them,” she said. Thursday’s tea is open to girls who come with a special adult, such as their mother, grandmother, aunt, friend, teacher,
or even their father or other males. Participants should bring their American Girl doll or any favorite stuffed animal or doll. There will be a variety of activities, including a dessert bar, photo booth, games, crafts and jewelry making. Davy will share her story, and Wabash County Department of Children’s Services Director Margery Justice will talk about foster care. Tickets are available at the door. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children. All proceeds will go to the American Girl Project.

DePauw University, Greencastle. She brings nearly 30 years of fundraising and not-for-profit experience to her new position. Most recently, she served as the Director of Class and Reunion Fundraising at DePauw. Ms. Stein has strong ties to both the Wabash community and the hospital. She was raised in Wabash County and after several years living and working in Indianapolis, she returned to her hometown in 2000. Her father, Fred Squires, was a long-time Foundation volunteer, serving as the lead fundraiser under Newhouse. “With the recent affiliation with Parkview Health and a replacement facility on the horizon, it is an exciting time to join the organization. I have a great appreciation for the vital role the hospital plays in our community and am honored to have been chosen to lead
BETH STEIN the Foundation,” Stein said. “On a personal level, the opportunity to add my own touch to something my father was so passionate about means a great deal to me.” Stein is active in the community and has served on several local boards, including the Wabash County Historical Museum, Wabash Convention and Visitors Bureau, St. Bernard Elementary School Parents Association and was the co-chair of the Ball and Auction Fundraiser. She officially begins her new role in July.

ment for use by emergency responders. —Providing radios and technology equipment. —Training for emergency responders.

In this and in all that we do, we are motivated by our duty to love God and neighbor. This love extends to all those who struggle with us on this issue. The well-being of men, women, and the children they conceive compels us to stand for marriage as the union of one man and one woman. We call for the preservation of the unique meaning At this significant time in our nation’s history with the institution of of marriage in the law, and for renewed respect for religious freedom marriage before the United States Supreme Court, we reaffirm our and for the conscience rights of all in accord with the common good. commitment to promote and defend marriage—the union of one man and one woman. The meaning and value of marriage precedes and We look to the Bible as God’s Word, inspired, infallible, and fully transcends any particular society, government, or religious reliable. We see traditional marriage and sexuality as God’s vision for community. It is a universal good and the foundational institution of all humanity as given to us from the very beginning. "For this reason a societies. It is bound up with the nature of the human person as male man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the and female, and with the essential task of bearing and nurturing two shall become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24 – Jesus also quoted this verse). children.
An Open Letter to the Residents of Wabash County, Indiana, concerning Marriage and Religious Freedom
The state has a compelling interest in maintaining marriage as it has been understood across faiths and cultures for millennia because it has a compelling interest in the well-being of children. Every child has a mother and a father, and every child deserves the opportunity, whenever possible, to be raised by his or her own married mother and father in a stable, loving home. Marriage as the union of a man and a woman is the only institution that encourages and safeguards the connection between children and their mother and father. Although this connection cannot always be realized and sustained—and many single parents, for example, are heroic in their efforts to raise their children—it is in the best interests of the state to encourage and uphold the family founded on marriage and to afford the union of husband and wife unique legal protection and reinforcement. The redefinition of legal marriage to include any other type of relationship has serious consequences, especially for religious freedom. It changes every law involving marital status, requiring that other such relationships be treated as if they were the same as the marital relationship of a man and a woman. No person or community, including religious organizations and individuals of faith, should be forced to accept this redefinition. For many people, accepting a redefinition of marriage would be to act against their conscience and to deny their religious beliefs and moral convictions. Government should protect the rights of those with differing views of marriage to express their beliefs and convictions without fear of intimidation, marginalization or unwarranted charges that their values imply hostility, animosity, or hatred of others.

Local Health Department at risk of losing 2016 grant funds... continued from the front page monies, however, vaccine revenues of approximately $62,000 per year since 2006 have been deposited into the Maintenance Fund, Downs noted. “This is really where the Council and the local Health Department part ways,” he said. “The Council provides virtually all the funding for the local Health Department through the County Health Fund, e.g., salaries, benefits, office overhead and other general operating expenses, yet it has been receiving none of the vaccine revenues, or nongrant monies, generated by the efforts of Health Department employees. “The Council, since it pays the bulk of overhead for the Health Department, believes that it should have received, and should receive in the future, at least some of those vaccine revenues.” Prior to the Feb. 23 meeting, the council had reached an agree-

the local health department.’ “Apparently, that procedure was not followed and, at the beginning of 2015, the County Health Fund was left with insufficient funds.” While the transfer was meant to solve an on-going problem, disagreement arose on if transferring money from the LHMF to the CHF would even be legal, according to Steve Downs, County Council attorney. “There is a prohibition against transferring grant monies from the Maintenance Fund to be used for the Health Department’s general operating expenses, which is why we were careful to move only what we considered to be nongrant monies,” Downs said. Since 2006, the LHMF’s balance has more than doubled from $105,281.40 to $215,307.27, according to a memorandum Downs wrote dated Feb. 23. In addition to grant

It would just prolong it.” Ridenour and the councilmen, at the suggestion of County Auditor Linda Conrad, looked into the possibility of transferring money from the LHMF to the CHF. “Originally, the LHMF was only to hold grant monies received from the State,” Ridenour said. “For reasons unknown to myself, vaccine revenues were also deposited (erroneously) into the LHMF.” According to County Health Department attorney Larry Thrush, Indiana Code requires the County Council to assess a tax levy each year in order to maintain the local Health Department. “The tax revenue so generated is required by law to be placed in a special fund known as the County Health Fund,” Thrush said. “The statute then requires that the county council ‘shall appropriate from the County Health Fund money necessary to maintain

but they would need final approval from the local Health Department before making the final transfer. “After communication with our Health Board locally, and the Indiana State Department of Health grant administrator in trying to reach an amicable agreement, it was easy to see that would not happen,” Ridenour wrote. As policy, to legally transfer funds from the LHMF to the CHF, the council must have permission from the County Auditor, local Board of Health and the ISDH, Downs explained.

acted in line with Indiana law when declining to accept the transfer, according to Thrush. “Unlike the County Health Fund, which is administered at the county level, Indiana law provides that the Local Health Maintenance Fund is administered by the Indiana State Department of Health in cooperation with local health boards,” Thrush said. “Indiana law specifically states that local health maintenance funds may only be used for services ‘in addition to, and not in place of, services funded at the local level.’ … The council’s transfer of nearly $105,000 from the Local

Health Maintenance Fund to the County Health Fund is both contrary to law and in violation of the county’s contract with the Indiana State Department of Health.” The council decided to transfer $104,821.43 without the local Board of Health’s approval and caused the ISDH to consider the transfer supplantation, or displacing grant monies incorrectly, according to an email from ISDH Grant Manager Kathryn Nicely to the local Health Department. “Effective the date of transfer of funds from the Local Health Maintenance Fund account into a County Health Fund by the Wabash County Auditor, the ISDH will not approve Wabash County’s Local Health Maintenance Fund grant application for the fiscal year 2016,” Nicely continued in the email. “The ISDH will continue to reject Wabash County’s future Local Health Maintenance Fund grant applications unless and until $104,821.43 is returned to the Local Health Maintenance Fund account or Wabash County has provided a full accounting of the monies to the satisfaction of the grant manager.” Currently, in hopes of remedying the situation, the County Council and local Health Department are trying to reach an agreement on funds
transferred, according to both Downs and Thrush. “The Wabash County Board of Health has prepared a proposal for consideration by both the Wabash County Council and the Indiana State Department of Health in the hope of persuading the ISDH to again provide grant funds to Wabash County,” Thrush said. “Even though the County Council’s transfer of funds was the direct cause of the county’s loss of ISDH grant funds, the council has insisted that the Board of Health provide to the council a proposal for solving the problem,” he continued. “That proposal is in the final stages of preparation. The Board of Health hopes the County Council will discuss the matter at its June 22 meeting.” However, for the council to reconsider its initial transfer of $104,821.43, the local Health Department must present an explanation for its settlement proposal, Downs said, which it has yet to do. Thrush said that, due to schedule issues, he was unable to send a proposal explanation, but still hopes to speak with the council prior to its June 22 meeting in order to further discuss the proposal before the council’s budget finalizations in July. The June 22 meeting took place after The Paper’s deadline.

by the total population. The Wabash per capita income was the highest in the tencounty Northeast Indiana Region and about 99.8 percent of that of the entire state. “Job growth continues to be an issue and there are many issues that impact job growth. The most relevant today is the availability of a trained workforce. It is the first, second, and third question that prospective employers ask.”
Konyha, who resigned his local position in December to become director of the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, acknowledges that not everything about Wabash is ideal. “Wabash has an issue matching the skills required by employers today, in the quantities that they need, to our workforce,” he said. “There is no quick fix for this but it is an issue that Wabash County employers,
schools, and institutions such as EDG, the Chamber, and many others work on daily.” Konyha agreed with Vanlandingham that the tax rate issue is not correctly represented in the Zippia story. “The tax rate is not a city issue,” Konyha said. “The County passed Local Option Income Taxes prior to the passage of property tax caps. They did so to provide some relief to all property tax payers, but prima-
rily to homeowners. “The LOIT has helped to keep property taxes lower and although our income tax rate is high our overall tax impact is about average. I assure you that no business has ever failed to expand or locate in Wabash County because of our tax rate.” Mayoral candidates Margaret “Boo” Salb and Scott Long also are taking exception to the study. “I was really disappointed in the article
that came out in the Zippia study,” Salb, the Democrat candidate, told The Paper. “I would like to know when Chris Kolmar did this study. “As I look at the April 2015 study done by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Wabash County had an unemployment rate of 4.3 percent as compared to April of 2014’s unemployment rate of 5.1 percent. Just to get an idea of what is happening, in April of 2010 our unemployment rate
was at 11.6 percent, compared to our current unemployment April 2015 rate. I have pulled these statistics directly from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics website, http://data.bls.gov.” Local officials, she noted, are working hard to attract new business and industry. “We have been working diligently to attract new business and industry to our county, and will continue along that
path,” she said. “We have been working with Ivy Tech, Heartland Career Center, local schools as well as local business to help create a skilled work force. “Wabash has built up a positive momentum over the past few years and we are looking to continue that. We have had positive recognition, both statewide and nationally, that has put Wabash, Indiana, on the map which will only help us in the future. I have to

next few days, and are not expected to cause major issues,” Walters wrote. “As always, citizens are asked to be safe and smart in their travel, especially on county roads where there still continues to be some closed roads due to agricultural, creek and river flooding. “’Turn Around, Don’t Drown.’” The National Weather Service echoes Walters’s motto, according to Mike Rehbein, service hydrologist. “One thing that we would like to stress to everyone is that they are aware of everything that’s going on,” Rehbein told The Paper of Wabash County last week. “Don’t drive into flooded areas because you don’t know if the road has been washed out beneath the water or something to that nature.” At the time of the interview, northeastern Indiana received ½ to 4 ½ inches of rain, the heaviest rainfall in the southern part of the area, according to Rehbein. There are multiple factors that brought on this rain, he con-
tinued. “It’s kind of an usual [weather] pattern,” he said. “We don’t see a whole lot where we a very warm and unstable air mass plus, oh, it’s really warm and humid, and we have a stationary boundary that meanders across our area so like one day there will be a little bit of movement to the north and have storms long it or migrate south and have storms along it there. “The very dense atmosphere that we have, the storms that develop will produce a bunch of rain.” Through last week’s scattered showers, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers worked in conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and NWS analysts to determine dangerous areas in local tributaries leading to the Wabash River, according to Jeff Woods, section chief of the hydrological networks of Indiana. “Our stream gauges are actually the basis for all the flood forecasting done by (NWS),” Woods said. “Once we see that
high water conditions like these are coming, we start coordinating particularly with the National Weather Service, but we also do it with the Department of Homeland Security and the Army Corps of Engineers all have kind of a communications network that we use to kind of coordinate our efforts and that helps the Corps control what they’re doing at the reservoirs are doing upstream, the Weather Service so they can properly provide those forecasts and the states so they can help with emergency response.” While the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is able to control the majority drainage flow from the Roush, Mississinewa and Salamonie dams, 27 percent of the drainage area to the Wabash River does not have a dam and is therefore uncontrollable, according to Scot Dahms, Wabash County corps operations manager. “That’s really where the greatest impact is coming from,” Dahms said.

“The little Wabash rivers, the inflows from those have been quite high and that’s really what’s pushing river levels up. “We’re doing all that we can do, which is shutting the dams down and not letting any water out of the dams. If the water comes in from that other 27 percent that we can’t control, of course I’m concerned about people, but it’s really out of our control at that point.” The Eel River, for example, was determined to have swelled to dangerous levels last week, according to Woods. Dahms said that this year’s flooding are several feet lower than flooding witnessed two years ago. “Based on the Weather Service gauges and the USGS gauges, it looks like we’re getting to a point where we’re going to be peaking and coming back down,” Dahms continued. “The big thing is the rain. … So that’s the biggest determinate right now.” Rehbein said that the scattered showers will continue to appear throughout this week. Last week, Wabash Street and Wabash Park department crews, along with volunteer help from local citizens, bagged hundreds of sandbags which were given to those who needed it to prevent flood waters from entering their homes and businesses. Street Department Superintendent Scott Richardson said that while his crews have bagged sandbags in the past, he doesn’t remember having to do it so many days in a row. Local farmers and homeowners are still
reporting damages, officials said. County Highway Superintendent John Martin told Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners on Monday morning that most of the roads are clear. However, there were still some, such as County Road 100 W., that still had standing water on it. Salamonie and Mississinewa lakes are also advising visitor caution, while some areas of the sites remain closed, according to a Department of Natural Resources press release. Most campsites at Salamonie Lake are flooded or without power. Few remain open while the swimming beach, all boat ramps, horse trails and all youth tent areas remain closed. Several areas at Mississinewa Lake also remain closed, including campground mooring area and fishing pier, youth tent area, swimming area and beach playground and picnic area, according to the release. Tent camping is not advised and RV camping is limited. Mississinewa Lake is also full of floating debris, making boating dangerous. Visitors are urged to use extreme caution and not drive on roads covered by standing water, the press release continued. The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) released a statement advising “Hoosiers to practice safety as rainfall and flooding issues continue throughout the state. Northern Indiana continues to manage high water, while many counties in the southern half of the state are under

what we are doing here to make the community a better place to work and live. According to what I have read about the author, he lives in North Carolina and is doing these same survey’s for other states to include North Carolina and Vermont. The jobs situation is like any-
thing else in life, it took many years to get to the point we are now, it will take an equal number of years to return to the amount of jobs we were at before the economic decline. “The world changes on a daily basis, nothing remains as it is, and that includes ‘good paying jobs’ that
so many people complain about not being available in Wabash. We live in a different world than we did in the 1970s and we have to compete not only with local communities, we compete with companies around the world to make products.”

Their plan was beginning to take shape when, on May 26, Spencer, 68, unexpectedly passed away. He was buried on May 30, 54 years to the day of the original pool escapade. As a way to honor his late friend, Kersey approached city officials with an alternate plan. Why not let his grandson, Layne Denton, and Spencer’s grandson, Luke Spencer, be the first to enter the renovated pool. “These boys will be the first two to officially swim in the r e f u r b i s h e d Honeywell Pool,” Vanlandingham told those present. “I know someone is probably standing up there watching saying, ‘You keep an eye on that Kersey bunch again.’” With the mayor holding Layne back early Tuesday afternoon, Luke jumped into the pool.

More than 85 guests visited the exhibit during the two day event admiring the quilts made by both friends and relatives as well as modern works with bold new
designs. Quilt patterns ranged from the complicated Cathedral Windows used by Marquerite Guenin with the help of her mother in the 1950s to a Scrappy Patch queen size cover made by Susie Goodpasture, a current member of the Sew Peaceful quilting club. Other items featured tatting, needlepoint, embroidery,
Redevelopment Commission loaned the city $400,000 to make up the difference in the amount budgeted and the actual cost of the work. Adam Owens, project manager for R.L. Turner, the Indianapolis firm that did the work, praised the city for its efforts during the project. “We’re glad that it’s over,” he said. “It was a very, very, very long winter. Todd was great to work with, and so was (the city’s engineering firm) United Consulting. “We’ve got some nice weather, so let’s get people in the pool.” Titus told The Paper he was glad the refurbishing project was finished, but noted, work at the pool is never done. “We’re just into a new phase,” he said. “We’re glad to be open, but there’s still a learning curve with the new equipment and that type of thing. Now we move on to the open phase and we deal with the everyday issues that come with running the pool. “We are glad to be moving on. We do have some issues that
we will have to deal with the rest of the summer. We won’t be finished up until fall.” Work remains on the bathhouse, including recoating the
floors. “We just ran out of time,” he said. “We didn’t want to take any potential swimming days away from this summer.”

unknown origins having been found in trunks, inherited from distant relatives, or discovered in boxes of hand towels and pillow cases. When few linens were commercially produced, homemakers frequently did their bet to add special details and frills to dress up everyday items. Linda Jervis brought a sunbonnet quilt and several beautifully embroidered towels and tablecloths. Mary Clark contributed a Christmas quilt that was a cooperative effort of members of her study club where each member provided squares to share with friends. Connie Cook displayed a Civil War themed wall hanging with the Declaration of Independence on the back. Mary Brane showed off her appliqued bed and pillow cover as well as a family comforter. A baby quilt from Melissa Campbell had been made by her grandmother when she was 100 years old, she is now 102. The oldest item was a school house patterned coverlet of wool and linen provided by Patricia Walters. It was black and white, reversible and dated 1847. This item had come to Indiana from Kentucky with her Great-great grandparents, Adam and Nancy Parker who opened the original Parker store in the 1860’s. It was hand loomed by an itinerant weaver and made in two parts that were sewn together to make it big enough for a bed. Other pieces displayed came from Sarah Andrews, Berti Huffschmidt, Jean Gilbert, Pat Brane, and Laura Snipes. A very special item, the “Dinner Dress”, featuring table”wear” was the most avant garde piece loaned by Donna Pattee Ballard. Special thanks go to Charles Walters, Mary, Pat, Lori, Rachel, Meghan, Claude, Mike, Danny and Zach Brane as well as Berti
Huffschmidt and Sadie Martens for all their help before, during and after the festival.

All seven members were present and President Ken Miller called the meeting to order. Boots Jack, recorder, read May’s minutes and they were approved. Treasurer Gary DeGrandchamp gave his report and it was approved. He reported a balance of $61,809.46 and that we are using short term CDs because of very low interest rates, hoping to get higher rates next year. The Board wishes to thank those who have been mowing town properties and hope that more will volunteer so no one has to mow more than a few times per year. We also discussed the possibility of buying some trees for the park on Elm Street. If we find some good sales we might be asking for a few donations to fund the project. The Board thanks Ed Bailey, Dave Compton, Rod Finch, Larry
Robinson, Mike Arrowood, Mike Schemenaur, Ken Miller and Evan Hedrick for their efforts to help with mowing. Remember it is not too late to get in on this fun activity! We also are thankful for those homeowners who are working to improve the appearance of their property as it raises the value of all properties and is beneficial for those trying to sell. At this point of the meeting a rather treacherous storm was noted approaching from the northwest. Since 4. members had walked to the meeting we hastily adjourned and headed home. LAFONTAINE LIONS will host their 5 scholarship winners and their famlies for supper on Thur. June 25.

Former members and the public are all invited to come help the Grant County music arts organization celebrate. The chorus chartered in 1970 as one of

ISAAC-ISM: “When it comes to life’s important lessons, we can all use gentle reminders. Quotations help us remember the simple yet profound truths that give life perspective and meaning. In sports, I remember this one; ‘you have to love winning and hate losing.’ Yes, that is a good quote…but there is so much more. Perseverance, courage, love, forgiveness and faith are timeless themes. Just like in life and sports, when you lose your confidence everything else goes. I
think believing in yourself has a lot to do with words. You are what you say you are. Your children will be what you say they are. Words are important and powerful. So if life throws you a curve ball, hit it!” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Frosty & Friends has new roost By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Since last fall, Frosty and Friends Exotic Bird Rescue has been in its new facility, a former church building in Ijamsville. “We got this building and that building,” founder Deb Henderson said, pointing to a Morton building to the north of the church building, located at Wabash County Roads 950 N and 200 W. “That building, that’s where the sanctuary is going to be. Winter came on too fast and we didn’t get everything finished down there.” She and her husband, Mark, have applied for grants to help place flooring and complete construction on the facility. For now though, the
sanctuary is located in the former church, which served as home to both Methodist and Baptist congregations over the years, Henderson said. The donor, Mrs. Henderson said, wishes to remain anonymous. But, Henderson noted, couldn’t have come at a better time for the non-profit bird rescue. “We were at a place where we would have to downsize or try to find some property to buy,” he said. “Then this opportunity came up. It was ideal.” While they are trying to finish the sanctuary building, the couple is already making plans for the former church. “Eventually this will become a residence and dorm,” Henderson said of the former church. “We’re hoping to
expand enough where we can bring in internships for veterinary students specializing in aviary studies. To do that, you have to provide a space for them to live. “We have a lot of work to do, yet. A lot of work.” The facility plays home 94 birds from a wide variety ranging from macaws and cockatoos to a dove and a pigeon. “We try to stay under 100 birds,” Henderson said. “Usually we don’t take one unless we lose one and we have the space.” Among those living at the sanctuary is Frosty, an umbrella cockatoo for whom the facility is named. “It’s a wonder we kept Frosty,” Mrs. Henderson said with a laugh. “She screamed all day long. She would literally
chase me through the house on my heels. We almost gave up on her, but we were determined to find a way to keep her. “Come to find out after researching, she wasn’t getting enough sleep. They need between 12 and 14 hours of undisturbed sleep at night, so once we covered her, we were fine.” Henderson added, “We thought we researched really well before we got Frosty.” “The problem is,” he continued, “we researched all the good things, not the bad. We discovered the bad, quickly enough.” The couple receives birds from a variety of sources. “Some owners have gone into nursing homes and they want their bird to go into a permanent place,” Henderson said.
“Others, like Zachariah, have been abused and they’re referred to us.” Like it has on so many things, the economy also had an impact on pet owners. “We were hit doubly hard when the economy bottomed out,” Henderson said. “People lost employment and couldn’t take care of their birds. They had to find work, so a lot of them ended up in apartments. “One macaw was almost bald from the neck down because he picked up on the owner’s stress after he lost his job.” Another bird came from the home of someone who was a heavy smoker. “So the feathers missing from him are a result of that,” Henderson said. The birds all have names, many of
which have come from previous owners. While the Hendersons have officially moved into their new facility, recent reports of avian flu have caused the couple some concerns and some setbacks. “That’s why we’re not open to the public,” Henderson said. “We just can’t risk it right now until that gets under control. “We may open later in the summer, but we’ll have to take a lot of precautions.” Running the sanctuary can be costly. The couple goes through about 200 pounds of bird food daily, costing roughly $400 per week. “That doesn’t include cages that go upward of $600 or $700,” Henderson said. “Or the vet bills. Not just any vet will
do exotic birds.” A 501-c3 non-profit organization, Frosty and Friends has received several grants over the years. However, the couple notes, there aren’t many grants available for exotic birds. They have some corporate sponsors, but are always looking for more interested in helping them financially. Anyone interested in donating may do so through the group’s webpage, frostyandfriendsrescue.com. There is a link that will take users to a page for donations. For those who don’t wish to make donations online may do so at J&K Mega Pet. “J&K is a very good supporter,” Mrs. Henderson said.
WIC office to discontinue service in North Manchester By Shaun Tilghman news@thepaperofwabash.com Soon, approximate-
ly 190 individuals that currently benefit from the ability to participate in the Women, Infants, and
Children (WIC) Program via the North Manchester office, will have to travel out of town to
receive support, as the Indiana Department of Health has decided to close the local clinic.

WIC serves to safeguard the health of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5, who are at nutritional risk, by providing nutritious supplemental foods and health care referrals, as well as information on healthy eating, including breastfeeding promotion and support, at no charge to participants. The WIC Program, which is administered at the federal level by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), receives a specific amount of funding each year, as authorized by Congress, for program operations. FNS then dispenses those funds, via federal grants, to WIC state agencies; in Indiana, WIC falls under the auspices of the State Department of Health. “A couple of months ago we were notified by the Indiana Department of Health, which is where we get funding for the WIC Program, that they were looking at counties that had more than one WIC office location,” said Mike Meagher, executive director of the Area Five Agency on Aging and Community Services,
Inc. Area Five, a notfor-profit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors, operates a variety of programs, such as WIC, in six counties in the area. There are currently two WIC office locations in Wabash County – one in North Manchester and one in Wabash. The North Manchester WIC Office, located in the Town Life Center (603 N. Bond St.), is open on Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon and 12:30-5 p.m. The Wabash WIC Office, located at 1149 N. Cass St., is open Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 2-7 p.m., Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to noon and 12:30-4:30 p.m., and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “We were later notified that they would be asking us to close the North Manchester facility,” Meagher explained, “because they thought those folks could come to the Wabash location. We did not have any say in the decision, because it was made by the State Department of Health, but rather we were just instructed that we could not operate the clinic after a certain date. “It’s really something that’s out of our hands because
they fund us, and they pretty much control how the program will operate. The State gets the funding, and then they contract with us to operate in Miami and Wabash counties. They make the decisions on how much money we get, what it can be used for, where we can operate, and what hours we have to operate; so it’s very tightly controlled by the Department of Health.” Area Five WIC Program Coordinator Linda Mackey added, “This year, the State took a look at any county that had more than one clinic and then made a determination about whether or not each clinic was serving a sufficient caseload. They decided to eliminate any clinic that wasn’t serving enough people, since those people would be able to be served by the main clinic of the county, which in Wabash County is the Wabash location.” According to Anne Myers, coordinator of the Town Life Center, which houses the North Manchester WIC Office, it is her understanding that the State criteria required a county’s second WIC clinic to handle a caseload of 200 or more in order (Continued on page 32)

hard facts, ‘the dollars and cents,’ and what it would take, and we also talked about the distance that the clients would have to travel, which is sort of a burden they would have to assume themselves,”

she said. “Then, about two weeks ago, they gave us the official notice,”
Mackey continued. “It is something that is of great concern to us, and I’m hoping that the clients will figure out how to meet that challenge, but it is definitely a concern. The clients can already be served at the Wabash office though, so it’s just a matter of their time and transportation. We are currently in the middle of the budgeting process, so nothing is definite yet, but we plan to open additional hours in Wabash to help accommodate those folks.” According to the USDA, approximately 90 WIC State agencies administer the program through approximately 1,836 local agencies and 9,000 clinic sites.

pates, or has family members that participate, in certain other benefit programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), automatically meets the income eligibility requirement. Although, working families and those on unemployment can also qualify. “Most people think WIC is only for lowincome people, but the guidelines are pretty generous,” Mackey explained. “For this year, a single pregnant woman can have an income of $29,471 per year. A family of four can have an annual income of $44,863, while a family of six can earn $60,255 and still qualify for WIC. So, we encourage anyone who thinks they may qualify to apply.” The Indiana Department of Health website states that the Indiana WIC Program currently serves an average of 167,877 women, infants, and children each month through a statewide network of 145 WIC clinics. In addition, Indiana WIC supports $114 million in food sales at more than 780
Indiana WIC-authorized grocery store and pharmacies. “Most of our grant funding comes through different segments of the State,” Meagher said, “so they pretty much make the rules and tell us how we’ll operate, and this program is the same way. It’s federal money that comes through the State, but the State can obviously set a lot of the direction that they want it to head, which has an impact on a lot of people’s lives. In the end, they’re the decision makers and we’re simply doing as instructed.” Meagher concluded by stating that Indiana WIC Program Director Sarah Renner was involved in the decision-making process regarding the local clinic, so she would be able to explain what that process was, as well as the whys and the wherefores. To read more about the State’s decisionmaking process for closing the local clinic, check out the follow-up story in next week’s edition of The Paper of Wabash County, featuring responses from Indiana WIC Program Director Sarah Renner.

Frosty & Friends has new roost By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Since last fall, Frosty and Friends Exotic Bird Rescue has been in its new facility, a former church building in Ijamsville. “We got this building and that building,” founder Deb Henderson said, pointing to a Morton building to the north of the church building, located at Wabash County Roads 950 N and 200 W. “That building, that’s where the sanctuary is going to be. Winter came on too fast and we didn’t get everything finished down there.” She and her husband, Mark, have applied for grants to help place flooring and complete construction on the facility. For now though, the
sanctuary is located in the former church, which served as home to both Methodist and Baptist congregations over the years, Henderson said. The donor, Mrs. Henderson said, wishes to remain anonymous. But, Henderson noted, couldn’t have come at a better time for the non-profit bird rescue. “We were at a place where we would have to downsize or try to find some property to buy,” he said. “Then this opportunity came up. It was ideal.” While they are trying to finish the sanctuary building, the couple is already making plans for the former church. “Eventually this will become a residence and dorm,” Henderson said of the former church. “We’re hoping to
expand enough where we can bring in internships for veterinary students specializing in aviary studies. To do that, you have to provide a space for them to live. “We have a lot of work to do, yet. A lot of work.” The facility plays home 94 birds from a wide variety ranging from macaws and cockatoos to a dove and a pigeon. “We try to stay under 100 birds,” Henderson said. “Usually we don’t take one unless we lose one and we have the space.” Among those living at the sanctuary is Frosty, an umbrella cockatoo for whom the facility is named. “It’s a wonder we kept Frosty,” Mrs. Henderson said with a laugh. “She screamed all day long. She would literally
chase me through the house on my heels. We almost gave up on her, but we were determined to find a way to keep her. “Come to find out after researching, she wasn’t getting enough sleep. They need between 12 and 14 hours of undisturbed sleep at night, so once we covered her, we were fine.” Henderson added, “We thought we researched really well before we got Frosty.” “The problem is,” he continued, “we researched all the good things, not the bad. We discovered the bad, quickly enough.” The couple receives birds from a variety of sources. “Some owners have gone into nursing homes and they want their bird to go into a permanent place,” Henderson said.
“Others, like Zachariah, have been abused and they’re referred to us.” Like it has on so many things, the economy also had an impact on pet owners. “We were hit doubly hard when the economy bottomed out,” Henderson said. “People lost employment and couldn’t take care of their birds. They had to find work, so a lot of them ended up in apartments. “One macaw was almost bald from the neck down because he picked up on the owner’s stress after he lost his job.” Another bird came from the home of someone who was a heavy smoker. “So the feathers missing from him are a result of that,” Henderson said. The birds all have names, many of
which have come from previous owners. While the Hendersons have officially moved into their new facility, recent reports of avian flu have caused the couple some concerns and some setbacks. “That’s why we’re not open to the public,” Henderson said. “We just can’t risk it right now until that gets under control. “We may open later in the summer, but we’ll have to take a lot of precautions.” Running the sanctuary can be costly. The couple goes through about 200 pounds of bird food daily, costing roughly $400 per week. “That doesn’t include cages that go upward of $600 or $700,” Henderson said. “Or the vet bills. Not just any vet will
do exotic birds.” A 501-c3 non-profit organization, Frosty and Friends has received several grants over the years. However, the couple notes, there aren’t many grants available for exotic birds. They have some corporate sponsors, but are always looking for more interested in helping them financially. Anyone interested in donating may do so through the group’s webpage, frostyandfriendsrescue.com. There is a link that will take users to a page for donations. For those who don’t wish to make donations online may do so at J&K Mega Pet. “J&K is a very good supporter,” Mrs. Henderson said.
WIC office to discontinue service in North Manchester By Shaun Tilghman news@thepaperofwabash.com Soon, approximate-
ly 190 individuals that currently benefit from the ability to participate in the Women, Infants, and
Children (WIC) Program via the North Manchester office, will have to travel out of town to
receive support, as the Indiana Department of Health has decided to close the local clinic.

WIC serves to safeguard the health of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5, who are at nutritional risk, by providing nutritious supplemental foods and health care referrals, as well as information on healthy eating, including breastfeeding promotion and support, at no charge to participants. The WIC Program, which is administered at the federal level by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), receives a specific amount of funding each year, as authorized by Congress, for program operations. FNS then dispenses those funds, via federal grants, to WIC state agencies; in Indiana, WIC falls under the auspices of the State Department of Health. “A couple of months ago we were notified by the Indiana Department of Health, which is where we get funding for the WIC Program, that they were looking at counties that had more than one WIC office location,” said Mike Meagher, executive director of the Area Five Agency on Aging and Community Services,
Inc. Area Five, a notfor-profit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors, operates a variety of programs, such as WIC, in six counties in the area. There are currently two WIC office locations in Wabash County – one in North Manchester and one in Wabash. The North Manchester WIC Office, located in the Town Life Center (603 N. Bond St.), is open on Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon and 12:30-5 p.m. The Wabash WIC Office, located at 1149 N. Cass St., is open Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 2-7 p.m., Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to noon and 12:30-4:30 p.m., and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “We were later notified that they would be asking us to close the North Manchester facility,” Meagher explained, “because they thought those folks could come to the Wabash location. We did not have any say in the decision, because it was made by the State Department of Health, but rather we were just instructed that we could not operate the clinic after a certain date. “It’s really something that’s out of our hands because
they fund us, and they pretty much control how the program will operate. The State gets the funding, and then they contract with us to operate in Miami and Wabash counties. They make the decisions on how much money we get, what it can be used for, where we can operate, and what hours we have to operate; so it’s very tightly controlled by the Department of Health.” Area Five WIC Program Coordinator Linda Mackey added, “This year, the State took a look at any county that had more than one clinic and then made a determination about whether or not each clinic was serving a sufficient caseload. They decided to eliminate any clinic that wasn’t serving enough people, since those people would be able to be served by the main clinic of the county, which in Wabash County is the Wabash location.” According to Anne Myers, coordinator of the Town Life Center, which houses the North Manchester WIC Office, it is her understanding that the State criteria required a county’s second WIC clinic to handle a caseload of 200 or more in order (Continued on page 32)

hard facts, ‘the dollars and cents,’ and what it would take, and we also talked about the distance that the clients would have to travel, which is sort of a burden they would have to assume themselves,”

she said. “Then, about two weeks ago, they gave us the official notice,”
Mackey continued. “It is something that is of great concern to us, and I’m hoping that the clients will figure out how to meet that challenge, but it is definitely a concern. The clients can already be served at the Wabash office though, so it’s just a matter of their time and transportation. We are currently in the middle of the budgeting process, so nothing is definite yet, but we plan to open additional hours in Wabash to help accommodate those folks.” According to the USDA, approximately 90 WIC State agencies administer the program through approximately 1,836 local agencies and 9,000 clinic sites.

pates, or has family members that participate, in certain other benefit programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), automatically meets the income eligibility requirement. Although, working families and those on unemployment can also qualify. “Most people think WIC is only for lowincome people, but the guidelines are pretty generous,” Mackey explained. “For this year, a single pregnant woman can have an income of $29,471 per year. A family of four can have an annual income of $44,863, while a family of six can earn $60,255 and still qualify for WIC. So, we encourage anyone who thinks they may qualify to apply.” The Indiana Department of Health website states that the Indiana WIC Program currently serves an average of 167,877 women, infants, and children each month through a statewide network of 145 WIC clinics. In addition, Indiana WIC supports $114 million in food sales at more than 780
Indiana WIC-authorized grocery store and pharmacies. “Most of our grant funding comes through different segments of the State,” Meagher said, “so they pretty much make the rules and tell us how we’ll operate, and this program is the same way. It’s federal money that comes through the State, but the State can obviously set a lot of the direction that they want it to head, which has an impact on a lot of people’s lives. In the end, they’re the decision makers and we’re simply doing as instructed.” Meagher concluded by stating that Indiana WIC Program Director Sarah Renner was involved in the decision-making process regarding the local clinic, so she would be able to explain what that process was, as well as the whys and the wherefores. To read more about the State’s decisionmaking process for closing the local clinic, check out the follow-up story in next week’s edition of The Paper of Wabash County, featuring responses from Indiana WIC Program Director Sarah Renner.

NM man injured in one-vehicle crash By The Paper staff
A North Manchester man is in serious condition following a one-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon on State Road 114 near County Road 500 E. The man, Austin R. Hopkins, 26, is in serious condition at
Lutheran Hospital, where he was transported by LifeMed ambulance with severe head injuries. According to the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, Hopkins was westbound when for unknown reasons his vehicle traveled across the eastbound
lane and left the roadway on the south side of SR 114. The vehicle continued in the ditch for approximately 100 yards before striking a culvert and utility pole. Hopkins was ejected upon impact. Sheriff Bob Land said the investigation into the accident is
ongoing. In addition to LifeMed, assisting at the scene were the Chester Township Fire Department and Wabash County E m e r g e n c y Management Agency.

Letter to the Editor
Sparling family appreciates care, support
~ QUALITY FABRICS ~ Specializing in cottons for quilting
Dear Editor: On April 10, we lost an awesome and loving son, husband, dad, brother, uncle, and friend. Kevin battled cancer for over 5 years. We will miss him dearly and hope we can carry on his legacy. We especially want to thank our family and friends for the many cards,
time spent with Kevin and our family. We also want to thank Hospice Care for the personal care given to Kevin, the family, and the staff at Grandstaff Hentgen Funeral Home. We truly feel blessed by the overwhelming support from everyone in Wabash County and the surrounding
thoughts, prayers, food, flowers, and donations to the kids. There are no words to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for everyone who has been with us during this long, difficult journey. A special thank you to Pastor Terry Hinds from Emmanuel Church and the church family for the
Counties. Kevin was a friend to so many- always there to help with a project. He was a fighter with a great sense of humor. Through all his suffering, he was still able to help others, keep his sense of humor, and maintain
his faith in God. He has walked a long, difficult journey but his pain and grief are over. We miss you Kevin and know someday we will be reunited!! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thank you and May God Bless each of you. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Family of Kevin Sparling
