Services planned for Memorial Day

DNR hosts hearing on WRT permit

By The Paper staff The Wabash County Veteran’s Service Office recently announced the plans for Memorial Day services for Wabash County. The services are open to the public and are being conducted by the veterans’ organizations of Wabash County and their associated Auxiliaries. Services will begin at 9:30 a.m. Monday, May 29, with a ceremony at the Carroll Street Bridge honoring those who have died in maritime service. This will be followed by a dedication service beginning at 10 a.m. at the Wabash County Courthouse War Memorial. American Legion Post No. 15 Chaplin Jim Black will give the invocation, which will be followed by Jo Wade singing the national anthem. Remarks will then be given by City of Wabash Mayor Scott Long; Chris Lee, a representative of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski; and State Senator Andy Zay. The Auxiliaries will then lay wreaths on the memorial. More remarks will then be given by VFW Post 286 Commander Herb Mullen and American Legion Post No. 15 Commander Steve Baxter. This will be followed by a salute from the VFW Rifle Team, and “Taps,” to be played on bugle by Jim Hoefer while the flag is lowered. VFW Post No. 286 Chaplin Mike Teal will give the benediction. In North Manchester, the American Legion Post No. 286 will host the Memorial Day services on Monday, May 29, beginning at 10 a.m. Services will be held at Halderman Park, located on North Market Street, and will include Post 286 Color Guard, the Manchester Civic Band, guest speakers and special recognition of American Legion members achieving a variety of accomplishments.

PERU — The Indiana State Police District 16 Memorial Service took place Wednesday morning, May 17, at the Peru Post. ISP officials read the names of all ISP troopers who gave their lives in the line of duty. Post Commander Lt. Jeremy Kelly welcomed guests to the event. After an invocation from Jack Hess, ISP Capt. David Kirkham, Area I commander, read the names of the 46 ISP troopers killed in the line of duty since 1933. Kelly then gave a brief description of the individual, including when he joined the force, and the day of watch ended. The list ranged from Eugene Teague, a six-month veteran of the force who was shot and killed on Dec. 20, 1933, while trying to apprehend a member of the Dillinger gang, to Robert E. Pitcher, who was killed in a traffic accident on Sept. 26, 2010. Four troopers assigned to the Peru Post are among the 46 to have been died in the line of duty. Those officers are: Sgt. Glen R. Hosier who died April 26, 1971, of a gunshot wound he received while leading officers up the stair case of a Miami County home. He was attempting to arrest a murder suspect. Trooper Robert J. Lather II who died July 6, 1982, in an automobile crash on U.S. 31 in Miami County. He was assisting the Howard County Sheriff ’s Department in pursuit of a traffic violator. Master Trooper Detective David E. Rich who died July 5, 2007, of a gunshot wound he received when a motorist he stopped to assist opened fired on him as he approached a disabled vehicle on U.S. 24 in Wabash County. Trooper Daniel R. Barrett who died (continued on page 4)

Representatives from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources listened to concerns from opponents to the Wabash River Trail for more than 90 minutes on Wednesday evening, May 17. The public hearing in the Wabash Middle School Auditorium was requested in connection with the WRT’s request for a permit to build a bridge over the Lagro Creek on the eastern edge of the Town of Lagro. Opponents cited a number of concerns, including the fact that the WRT has already worked on the project without receiving proper permits. The WRT worked on a boat ramp just east of State Road 524 without having received a DNR report, and audience members at the May 17 meeting alleged that WRT has worked in the area for which the hearing was taking place. “Are you aware,” Lagro resident Ann Roe asked the DNR representatives, “has any construction occurred within that area” that was the subject of the meeting. DNR representative Nick Males said, “I believe some of the trail has been constructed (continued on page 6)

Residents gather to support inclusive park By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Area residents supported the Wabash inclusive park project by attending the Family Fun Day on Sunday, May 21. Despite heavy rain earlier in the morning, children, parents, grandparents and friends still convened at the John Drook Memorial Park throughout the day to enjoy pony rides, games, crafts and live music. The park, which will provide the community with a safe place for all ages and abilities to play with one another, is a Wabash Stellar Communities project. The park will include multi-spinners, wide hill slides and other attractions that will create a fun and inclusive playground area. Tenille Zartman, park project committee member, told The Paper of Wabash County that (continued on page 5)

ed two new mathematics programs, Investigations Math and Go Math, Miller told the board, and determined that one fit O.J. Neighbours students better than the other. “We took a look at the data and we said, ‘Ok what is a strength for us?’” Miller e x p l a i n e d . “Computation is a strength for us. What area do we need growth? That would be the process standards. Those are more arbitrary. It’s not students will be able to add two single digit numbers to get the sum. It is thinking mathematically, so a lot of it isn’t just that concrete (process). It’s a lot of abstract thinking. “So we talked a lot what we need. … Go Math looked great, but once we started utilizing the tools, we went, ‘Oh. This is not going to be exactly what we need,’ and that was what, I think, a big piece (of the final decision).” Investigations Math is a “workshop model” based program that remains consistent throughout kindergarten to fifth grade mathematics. “You give (a student) an instruction, but then they go and do it independently and it really fosters their responsibility,” Miller said. “That allows them to learn that math model and how we do that game or that center, and then it builds into (the rest of the program). “They can take it and they can work on it. They aren’t worried about what the rules of the game are. They’re worried about, ‘Do I know this concept and can I apply it when I play the games?” By adopting Investigations Math, Miller said the school’s overall goal is to teach students to start thinking like mathematicians, who can use a variety of concepts to solve a problem, instead of linearly wherein a student can only use a single equation to solve a question. In an effort to encourage creative thinking, Miller also advised the board on her school’s new kindergarten program. The Dual Language I m m e r s i o n Kindergarten will

teach standard courses in both English and Spanish. Miller told the board that children will begin the day in either an English-only or a Spanish-only homeroom class and switch to the other classroom midway through the school day. “Our goal for this is to not only develop bilingualism, but biliteracy, academic achievement and then that cross-cultural competency that we’ll view,” Miller said. “So some of the benefits (include) of course learning a second language, but what research has also shown is that, for those students, it really, truly increases their cognitive skills long term.” Through its adoption, the class will serve a two-fold purpose, teach native English-speaking students Spanish and teach native Spanishspeaking youth how to speak English, Miller later told The Paper of Wabash County. By limiting both classrooms to speak English or Spanish, students will become deeply involved with both languages and learn them as natural speakers do, she said. Clara Castaño Aundreau, an educator from Spain, will lead the Spanish portion of the class while O.J. Neighbours teacher Heather Mickelson will lead the English segment. Miller also presented on the school’s new format for enrichment courses, which she will seek the adoption of at a later date. “Thank you for letting me (present),” Miller told the board. “We will be sharing a lot. We’ve been doing a lot this year and so you’re going to see kind of a culmination of a lot that we’ve been working on, but one of the things that I’m most proud of is a new format for our enrichment classes.” The new format will create connections between the arts and standard academic classes, she continued. “What we’re really looking at is more of an integrated arts (program), bridging the classroom and all of the specialist classes,” she said. “We’re really wanting to do a lot more integrated (continued on page 3)

WCS wraps up Kathy Swan Awards, honors 5 elementary youth By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash City Schools honored five O.J. Neighbours youth Monday night, May 15, at the conclusion of the 11th annual Kathy Swan Awards. Students Emma Cantrell, Clairyssa Mudd, Leona Stapleton, Mykenzie Renn and Aaron Youngman received awards for their hard work, perseverance and being “a joy” in the classroom, according to Danielle Miller, O.J. Neighbours principal. Before presenting the awards, Principal Danielle Miller shared with her students what the awards represent. “I say this every year, but we have new winners every year,” Miller said, “ and I just wanted you to know Kathy Swan was actually a really close friend of mine and I have known her since I was a baby. So I knew her when I was your age and she was one of those people that, as soon as you met her, she just made you feel good about yourself and you’d walk away and you’d

think, ‘I feel better because I got to see her.’ “And so that’s what this award is really about. Your teachers looked at you and they thought, … ‘This is a student that when I walk away, I feel better because I know that person.” Educator Lindsey Wilson presented Emma, who “has been a joy to have in class this year,” with the kindergarten class award. “She always smiles and is friendly with everybody,” Wilson said. “She has worked very hard this year, has a really long way and she was one at the beginning of the year (where) she wouldn’t take to anybody, wouldn’t raise her hand, just very shy and now her hand is one of the first ones up and she loves to share how much she knows. “I’m just really proud of how far she’s come and that she’s just a joy to be around.” Clairyssa received the first grade award for her perseverance and readiness to learn, according to Stacy Baer, teacher. “I have had the honor of being her

In other news, the board announced Wabash City Schools will be offering online registration from July 1-23 for all returning students. On July 1, students will be able to register through Skyward Family Access. If a youth or their family has not yet logged into Skyward, contact the student’s respective school’s office. Logins will be sent home with report cards. Those that do not have a home computer may access one at the Wabash Carnegie Public Library. There will also be a computer bank at the WCS

central office, located at 1101 Colerain St., which will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 1-22. New students must call their respective school of attendance to set up enrollment and scheduling meeting.

She has a never give up attitude. If something is hard, she just plugs away and works super hard to make sure that she

does her very best on it and I’m very proud of her and all of her hard work. “I’m very blessed to have (Clairyssa) with the class.” The second grade award was presented to Leona, who overcame multiple obstacles in academic and social situations, according to Kathy

Wilson, HOPE educator. “I’ve had the privilege of having Leona for a couple of years and, like all the others have said, I get a warm hug every day and I smile every day, which makes my day,” she said of Leona, “but this little girl has overcome a lot of obstacles and she pre-

The “Clifford the Big Red Dog” stories are a series of books based on the adventures of a giant dog named Clifford. Stories were first published in 1963 and were written by Norman Bridwell. There are at least 80 books in the Clifford series, as well as a PBS series. Work is reportedly underway on a full-length feature film based on the series.

Just to name some, Walmart donated, Big R donated, downtown businesses like the Black Squirrel donated and Smokin’ for a Cause donated the food so all of the proceeds go directly to the park, and of course all of our volunteers donated their time.” Volunteer Kayla Ortega assisted at the petting zoo and pony ride area. “It’s been really fun,” Ortega said. “I’ve enjoyed seeing all the kids that are super happy and excited to see some of the ponies and all of the activities here today. I like volunteering my time with children, helping out and I like the city of Wabash. “I do (support the park project). I think it’s a good thing to bring to Wabash to

family had a great time at the Family Fun Day. “This is a great event and I wasn’t aware of it until my daughter-in-law called me and told me about it,” Paul said. “I’m looking forward to (the all-inclusive park). I think of my grandkids coming to play. It’s close to where we live and just knowing that anybody can come (is great). She later added, “It is heartwarming to know that our community is going to have a playground like this.” Zartman noted that the majority of the event’s attendees were fairly informed about the park project. However, there was one resounding question. “A lot wanted to know when it’s being built, so that’s kind of the question and that depends on funding,” she said. “We’ll have a better idea after June as to where we stand.

We have to get it built by 2018. “We might try to break ground this year then actually build the park next spring, but it all depends (on funding). If we can do it, we’ll have it built this year, but we’ll see.” So far, the project has roughly raised

$870,000 and is still trying to raise $700,000 more, according to Zartman. “It’s a very expensive park because the material and everything is a soft surface, everything’s slanted,” she continued, “but it’ll be a destination. It will be worth it.”

These permit applications have been submitted for the Lagro phase, and some have been received with others pending approval. “Permit applications for these and any other required permits for Phase 1B will be submitted after the final alignment for this segment is set.” Phase 1A is the portion of the trail in Lagro. Phase 1B is the portion of the trail from Lagro to Wabash. During the meeting, Kroh admitted that work on the boat ramp took place without the permit, blaming the contractor for doing the work. No mention of work being done in the area of the proposed bridge was mentioned during the WRT’s

public meeting on May 8. Questioned about the matter two more times, she said, “What I am trying to communicate is that WRT Phase 1A construction that has occurred to date is clear to see if you visit Lagro. I am not sure what you are specifically wondering about with regard to the bridge, but perhaps if you visit Kerr Lock you can determine the conditions there first hand. “All of the work performed last year was completed in coordination with the private property owners, and after agreements between WRT and the property owners were in place. “Different portions of the Phase1A trail require different permits. All permit applications for Phase 1A were prepared last fall. However as we discussed at the meeting, due to miscommunication the contractor began work after all permit applications had been prepared but before some, but not all of the permits were r e c e i v e d . Construction was stopped by WRT when this was discovered and WRT will not restart work on Phase

1A until all required permits are in hand. “WRT has been, and will continue to be, in close communication with IDNR and other agencies throughout the permitting process.” Earlier this year, the county plan commission issued a stop work order for the trail because WRT had not received a permit for the boat ramp. The order was rescinded once the permit was approved by the DNR. Opponents also expressed concern about the impact on the trail would have wildlife in the area, as well as the effect it would have on the Wabash River. “One of the biggest concerns I have is, if this trail is put in in its entirety, and I realize you’re only talking about a very small portion of it in your jurisdiction, but if they get that part and they get the rest of it, the amount of disturbance to the wildlife along the Wabash River will be crazy,” Tim Roberts told the representatives. “If you have the general public traveling that trail in numbers, there are a couple of eagles’ nests along the Wabash River on the proposed trail route.

...continued from the front page

“These are wild areas on the back of people’s properties. They’re away from roads. Waterfowl rest there, and you have a large number of people traveling on that trail, you will have great disturbance to a lot of the wildlife. One other thing you’ll have with families and children, you’re going to have a lot of noise pollution there. It’s not only going to be the people who are traveling the trail and wild animals seeing the human beings, it’s also going to be the noise, shouting, camping along the trail, whatever it is. That goes for the whole project, not just the part of the project we’re investigating tonight.” Safety and concerns for historic structures, such as the Kerr Lock in Lagro, also were expressed. Part of the plan is to blacktop the top of the locks. Lagro resident Amanda Kerr said she enjoys riding bicycles with her children. However, she said she will not allow her youngsters to go anywhere near the trail for fear of their safety. Of the more than 40 people in attendance, two – WRT committee

member Justin Gillespie and Lagro Street Department Superintendent Scott Siders – were trail proponents. However, neither spoke as to the need for the permit to be approved. Rather, they both talked about what the trail would do toward helping to revitalize downtown Lagro. Gillespie also responded to a question as to how much land has already been purchased or donated in the area for which the hearing was taking place. Responses from Kroh and Ford as two why other WRT representatives were not present at the hearing weren’t received by deadline. Following the meeting, Males and DNR representative Jennifer Ware said they are going to compile the comments into a memo to be sent to the DNR. The comments will be among the items taken into consideration when the DNR decides on the permit. It could be another month to 45 days before a decision on the permit is reached, the two said, estimating it might be sometime in July before the permit is approved or rejected.

Park board discusses Honeywell Park bids By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Call: 260-205-2966 Travis Dyson “Quality Concrete Work at a Fair Price.”

Vendors Wanted Wellbrooke’s 3rd Annual

Craft and Homegrown Fair Saturday, Sept. 16th at 10am This year we will be expanding it to include outdoor vendors to join the 30 vendors inside. We are looking for crafters and homegrowers to join our event. There is no booth fee! Inside vendor booth spaces are still available. Call the campus at 260-274-0444 and ask for Maia to get registered.

Bids for renovations to Honeywell Park were briefly d i s c u s s e d Wednesday night, May 17, by the Wabash Park Board. No action was

taken on the matter. Rather, the board ordered Park Superintendent Adam Hall to contact a group of anonymous donors that has offered to pay for the work to get input.

Once done, Hall will contact board members to get a consensus on which firm to use. The board will then take a formal vote on the matter when it meets in

June. In April, two firms, Moake Park and Halstead Architects each submitted bids for the project. The donors contacted Hall earlier this year, indicating they were willing to help the city pay for improvements to the pavilion at Honeywell Park, as well as relocating the basketball courts, possibly putting in playground equipment, and possibly putting in concrete pads around the tennis courts to make room for bleachers. The board also approved a special event application for the All-Inclusive Park committee to have a family fun day on Sunday at the future site of the park. In case of rain, the event will be moved to the Wabash County YMCA.

Lutheran Health breaks ground at Wabash facility By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Lutheran Health Network broke ground at its new Wabash outpatient center Monday afternoon, May 22. The 30,000-squarefoot facility, which will be located at 1700 S. Alber St. in Wabash when completed, will house primary care physician practices, a physical therapy and rehabilitation area, an urgent care clinic, a full laboratory, diagnostic imaging suite, infusion therapy center and timeshare space for additional specialists. The center will be a great addition to the city of Wabash and Wabash County, according to Mayor Scott Long. “The ground breaking today at this new Lutheran Health Network facility is great for citizens of Wabash and great for the city of Wabash,” Long said. “This project is going to allow people to access to facilities where they can receive specialized care that they may otherwise have to travel to other cities for.” City and county residents will now also have local healthcare options between Lutheran and Parkview Health, he continued. “Just as I’ve said in the past, competition’s a good thing,” Long said. “Having

“We’re extremely excited about this new project,” Weiskittel said, and later added, “We’re

just excited to partner with Wabash, not only in this situation but future opportunities.”

I wish to thank my church friends and family for the thoughtfulness and such caring and prayers during the loss of my daughter, Judy Green. Thank you all so much. Lutheran Health Network’s new outpatient center broke ground Monday afternoon, May 22. Mayor Scott Long (fifth from right) and Economic Development Group of Wabash County CEO Keith Gillenwater (fifth from left) joined in the ceremony with Lutheran Health COO Scott Weiskittel (fourth from right) and other network employees. Photo by Emma Rausch multiple facilities in our community will afford our citizens a choice in healthcare providers, which will benefit everyone. “I believe competition makes you step up your game so to speak,” he later continued and added, “It means the battle for the consumer dollar and increased services to meet customer demands, and healthcare providers do the same.” The facility will also “strengthen” the city’s tax base, the mayor continued. In April, the Wabash City Council approved two 10-year tax abatements for the Lutheran Health facility. Due to be completed by the end of the year, the project’s total investment is approximately $10 million including equipment, fur-

nishings and a longterm lease, according to officials. A total of 36 new jobs will also be created with 23 of those positions to be Lutheran employees. “As mayor, I look forward to the new partnership with Lutheran in Wabash,” Long said. “I’m sure they will supportive of and partner with Wabash in many of the initiatives that the city undertakes. We’re a tightknit community that gets things done. “We looked forward to working with Lutheran Health as a partner in creating a vision for Wabash that will make this the best community to live, work and play in.” Lutheran Health Network’s officials are excited for the “great opportunity,” according to Scott Weiskittel, Lutheran

Since November 2014, the company’s Lutheran Air II has flown out of Wabash Municipal Airport to assist area residents in need of critical care. In additional to primary care and family medicine, the new outpatient center will offer laboratory, X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound and mammography services. The Orthopedic Hospital of Lutheran Network will also have a satellite office for physical therapy.

Brandt’s raises funds for cancer society By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Brandt’s HarleyDavidson donated more than $1,000 to the Wabash County Cancer Society. The funds, $1,052 in all, were raised on April 29 during the second annual Roady’s Ride. The ride is in memory of longtime Brandt’s employee Mike “Roady” Rodenbeck, 64, who passed away March 27, 2016. Roady was known for wearing a bandana, and all riders received a bandana with his picture on it. Rodenback was employed at Brandt’s for more than 25 years. Mark Shanks, mar-

From your high school athlete

Sporting program to teach shooting

By Bill Barrows

This week’s article is not necessarily one that I can take credit for writing. A friend of mine passed this along to me. This person, as well as the athlete who penned this, will remain nameless, was struck by the emotion and seriousness of the letter. It hit home after thinking about the examples set by those of us who are (or were) parents of athletes as they play a game that is supposed to help them learn and have fun in doing so. Dear Mom and Dad, I wanted to thank you for coming to my game last night to support me! I may not always say it, but I really do love seeing you in the crowd cheering for me. I know it must be tough to drive two hours, sit in the rain, snow, or fight the crowd at the packed gym just to watch me! I also want to apologize. I’m really sorry for not hustling to first base on that ground ball, I’m sorry for not taking practice serious and missing those game winning free throws in the big game. I’m so sorry for running the wrong way and messing up the play causing a fumble, and I’m really sorry for just not being focused and not playing hard enough. You have always taught me to be accountable and responsible for my actions and what I say or do. I told my coach that I am sorry for my laziness and my mistakes, now it’s your turn. Can you apologize for yelling at my coach when he took me out because I didn’t hustle? Can you apologize for saying those nasty things about my teammates that do a better job or have a better game than me? Can you apologize for posting a letter on social media blaming the coach for taking my love of the game away from me? Mom and Dad, I love my teammates and I love to play this sport. I’m not getting a scholarship to play D1 and even if I did,

From the DNR

BILL BARROWS I’m not sure I’d play after high school. I play for fun, I usually play to win, I play for my team and my friends, and I play to make you happy. I get embarrassed when you yell at the coach for my mistakes, I get embarrassed when you tell me my coaches don’t know what they are doing, and I really hate it when you talk bad about my teammates and friends. I hope to see you next Friday at my game!! I hope to look in the crowd and I see you in the same spot where I know to find you. I love to glance up in the top row or on the fence line and see you there. I hope you wear that new sweatshirt with my school’s colors on it. I also hope that you yell “great job” when one of us does something good and hope you support us when one of us makes a mistake. I am not perfect and you always told me it’s about how I play and to always give it my best. I will strikeout, miss a lay-up, drop a pass, miss the goal, or I’ll hit the ball into the net. My teammates will mess up as well. Heck, I bet the coach will screw up to. I know I feel bad when I make the mistake and I’m sure the coach feels pretty bad as well when he messes up. He just doesn’t need to hear it from you! Before you hit send on the text message, post another rant about how I’m better than some other kid, or how bad my coaches are……….Please stop and consider my feelings and those of my teammates! Love, Your High School Athlete

Meggison signs to wrestle at Wabash College By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com Manchester High School wrestler Collin Meggison gets to continue a passion of his as he furthers his education along the way. Meggison will be attending Wabash College in Crawfordsville where he will wrestle and plans to study computer science.

“I was considering going to Ancilla College, but the coaches at Wabash contacted me,” Meggison said. “I saw things I enjoyed and liked about Wabash. They have a great program that has qualified for multiple NCAA tournaments.” Meggison capped off his junior high and wrestling career with an overall record of 80-45. He qualified for

regional three times and had a break-out senior season winning championships at the East Noble tournament, Wabash County tournament, Three Rivers Conference tournament and sectional. “Wrestling was definitely part of choosing a college, and I wanted to continue to do what I love,” he added.

Hoosier hunters harvest 13,000-plus wild turkeys From the Indiana DNR Indiana hunters harvested more than 13,000 wild turkeys during the 2017 spring wild turkey season, according to the Department of Natural Resources. This is a 7-percent increase from the 12,081 turkeys taken during the 2016 spring season and the thirdhighest spring turkey harvest on record. The youth season was April 22-23. The regular spring turkey season was April 26May 14. Weather did not appear to be a limiting factor, despite large amounts of rainfall and flooding. Annual statewide harvest figures have leveled off since a peak in 2010 of 13,742 turkeys. Recent annu-

al spring harvests have ranged from 11,000 to 12,000 birds. Additional harvest information will be available with the

release of the Spring Turkey Harvest Report, which should be online after Memorial Day.

The Ford Hoosier Outdoor Experience (Ford ODX) offers the chance for young and old to learn how to shoot targets with archery, crossbow and shotguns under the watchful eye of experts on June 10-11 at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis. There will also be dozens of other outdoor activities to try, hands-on, for free. Likely the largest free outdoor event in the state, the Ford ODX was last held in September 2015. That was the sixth annual. Each prior year’s event was also held in September. This year’s date is intentionally closer to the start of the traditional outdoor recreation season. Organizers request advance registration a t HoosierOutdoorExpe rience.com to participate. This helps them prepare. The website is also the place to learn about the other activities offered,

Troxel Equipment to cut ribbon at new building By The Paper staff Troxel Equipment will be commemorating its new facility’s grand opening with a ribbon cutting on Friday, June 9. Owners Dave and Dick Troxel started planning their company’s new store three years ago and finalized the plans in 2015. They signed with Briner Building to design and build the new facility. In April 2016, the company started construction on the new building and finalized it in February 2017. Compared to 17,000 square feet in the former facility, the new building offers 35,000 square feet, which now affords for Troxel to service large agriculture equipment. The company also

added on a couple new employees and hopes to add more as the business grows, according to Dave Troxel. The increased space will provide the company room to display more products as well as expand its inventory. “We are all very excited about our new store in Wabash, and the investment that we made in the Wabash community,” Dave Troxel said. The ribbon cutting will take place at noon and an open house will also take place until 5 p.m. A lunch of smoked sausage sandwich, macaroni salad, chips and a drink will be served at 12:30 p.m. and tours will also begin at that time.

Additional news from the commissioners meeting included the weekly jail report from Sheriff Bob Land. Land said that, as of May 22, there are 86 inmates in the Wabash County Jail, with an additional 58 being held in Miami County, five in Elkhart County and six in Wells County.

Memorial Day BBQ tips Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. For many, Memorial Day weekend also signifies

their first chance to invite friends and family over for a backyard barbecue. While some never put their grills away for

the winter, braving the cold so they can keep grilling yearround, many may need a refresher to ensure their

Sprucing the park:

Memorial Day BBQ starts summer off on the right foot. • Stock up on supplies. Before hosting your first backyard barbecue, take inventory of your supplies, making sure you have a spatula, tongs, oven mitts, a sturdy grill brush, and other accessories you may need during grilling season. Check each item to make sure it’s not worse for wear and do the same with the grill as well. Replace supplies that have too much wear and tear in advance of Memorial Day weekend so you have one less item on your to-do list come the day of the barbecue. • Designate some time to do some cleaning. Even if you cleaned the grill and patio furniture before putting the items in storage for the winter, they likely will need to be cleaned again before you host your first soiree of the season. Remove any dust and check for spider webs or signs of other critters that might have made your furniture home over the cold winter. Droppings from rodents can be dangerous, and spiders can bite unsus-

pecting grillmasters. Clean patio furniture before putting it out as well. • Find some new recipes. Hot dogs and hamburgers are perfectly acceptable backyard barbecue fare, but hosts who want to treat their guests to something new this summer can find a host of recipes online. Consider

recipes for grilled vegetables so vegetarian guests can enjoy freshly grilled foods alongside your other guests. Just be sure to separate veggies from meat on the grill so vegetarian

guests are not hesitant to eat. And while grilled meat tends to be popular at backyard barbecues, don’t overlook recipes for grilled fish that can be both nutritious and delicious.

Planting ranges from 30% to 100%, farmers report From the Indiana Farm Bureau

Indiana crop farmers have been battling extreme rain and cold temperatures since late April. Indiana Farm Bureau spoke to several corn and soybean farmers in various counties across the state to learn how the weather has affected this planting season. While the amount of corn and soybeans planted so far varies drastically depending on the farm, it appears that an average of roughly 50 percent of Indiana corn and soybean crops have been planted, with some farmers reporting that they are 100 percent complete and others reporting less than 30 percent complete. “Weather across the state was ideal for crop farmers for most of April, but heavy rains followed by cooler temperatures brought Indiana farmers to a halt,” said Randy Kron, Indiana Farm Bureau president. “Soil conditions were nearly perfect for planting when our farmers began, but we saw some dramatic weather changes before the first of May.” Rainfall varied across the state, but no areas were immune to the large amount of rain the Midwest has seen since late April. “We’ve seen roughly 8 inches of rain since April 22. When we get close to drying out, we just get more,” said Jordan Brewer of Brewer Farms in Clinton County. “We had nearly 12 inches of rain in 10 days in the southwest-

ern part of the state. To compound the problem, we had cold weather following the rain,” said Kevin Cox of TST Farms in Parke County. However, some farmers say that the continuation of rain which most of the state saw during the second week of May did less harm than one might think. “The past week has been almost ideal considering our current situation,” explained Cox. “We needed the ground to stay soft so it did not create a crust and the temperatures to rise and that’s what we’ve seen. It’s important to keep the ground soft while growing—especially at the beginning.” Indiana crop farmers are discussing the potential need to replant sections of their fields that were most impacted by the weather, but of those interviewed by Indiana Farm Bureau, most say that they’re hopeful that the damage has been limited to small sections of their fields. “We have some areas where the water is gathering, so I suspect those select areas will need to be replanted,” said Brewer. “I’ve been out with my son walking the fields this week and what I’ve seen is that the seeds are still viable. I haven’t found any dead corn kernels or any dead plants,” said Cox. With replanting comes a series of complex decisions for crop farmers such as whether or not to adjust crop maturities when planting later in the spring than origi-

nally planned. Hoosier farmers also expect that in some cases, the seeds they prefer to plant may no longer be available in mid-May. “When we planted the first time, we planted the elite hybrids that we prefer. I expect that the supply of those elite hybrids is used up now,” said Cox. “Trying to get seeds supplied in what you want this late in the season is challenging. That’s another part of the problem of replanting.” Others are grateful that they’ve invested in drainage tile as fields with proper drainage systems are less affected by heavy rains. “The big plus for us is that our ground is well-tiled, so I’m not anticipating that I will need to replant,” said David Miers of Miers Farm Corporation in Decatur County. “We are probably a little better off than most in southeast Indiana because of our drainage system, but when it comes to soybeans, we really can’t tell what kind of damage is done until we see some growth.” One thing that most farmers can agree on is that there is no typical year in the life of a farmer. “As farmers, we take the years as they come, deal with the situation as best as we can and try to stay positive,” said Miers. “Regardless of how good of a job we do as farmers, the one thing we depend on is the weather and that is also the one thing we cannot control,” said Cox.

Wabash Street intersection, Bennett’s vehicle ran off the south side of the roadway, traveled through a ditch and came to rest in the yard at 2001 N. Wabash St. During the accident, the riding lawn mower was thrown from Olinger’s trailer and struck a 2016 Kia Forte driven by Jamie L. Purvis, 25, Wabash, who was stopped northbound on Wabash Street. Olinger and Bennett’s passenger

Julianne R. Bennett, 55, Carmel, were both transported to Parkview Wabash Hospital by ambulance. Bennett and Purvis sustained minor injuries. A dog in Bennett’s vehicle also appeared to have sustained an injury during the collision. The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department were assisted at the scene by Wabash City Police, EMA and the Wabash County Fire Department.

While in 4-H, Heath was also busy with other activities. “It takes self-discipline to properly care for animals that need fed, watered, walked, and have their pens cleaned. The animals rely on me to take care of these important things even though I am busy with other activities and sports through school.” Health believes that the life skill of self-discipline will help him be successful prioritizing assignments, work, and free time at college. Heath stated, “Once I enter the job force, I know I have the self-discipline to follow instructions given, see a task through to completion, and to get the job done without being harped on. The self-discipline I learned in 4-H allows me to be an independent worker.”

4-H Grows Self-Discipline:

Brady has grown the life skill of self-discipline throughout his 10 years in the Wabash County 4-H Program. Something that not everyone realizes is the importance of feeding 4-H livestock at a set time every day. “Through 4-H, I have learned to be organized and self-disciplined in feeding my animals and making sure to meet paperwork and enrollment deadlines.” Brady recognizes these as life skills that he will continue to use as he begins college in the fall. “In college, I will need self-discipline to wake-up, get to class on time, and submit work by due dates. After graduating, I want to work in the criminal justice field and will need selfdiscipline when remembering codes needed for work.” Brady encourages youth to join 4-H to gain important life skills and to learn new things.

Reid also learned self-discipline through animal projects. Reid stated, “When working with animals, things don’t always go the way you want. It takes self-discipline to keep going and finish the job; sometimes that means learning new ways to handle things.” The Wabash County 4-H Fair gives 4-H livestock members the opportunity to display not only their animals but also a year’s worth of hard work and preparation. Reid admitted that he hasn’t always agreed with judges at the fair. “It takes self-discipline to keep from looking upset or even to keep from yelling at a judge.” Sometimes it requires a lot of selfdiscipline to go back in front of the same judge with a different animal. As Reid recalled his favorite 4-H memory of winning Grand Champion Pygmy, he knew that self-discipline had paid off.

Farnum told her classmates that she transferred to the university before her junior year, and was worried that she would not be able to complete her degree in four years or find friends. “However, I quickly realized that Manchester is a special place… the students, faculty and staff made it possible to pack enough knowledge, opportunities and memories to fill four years at the very least, no matter who long you actually attended,” she said. After McFadden’s Charge to the Graduates and a short video, Neher gave the benediction. “Many of us may

DNR tests for fish virus at Lake Webster From the Indiana DNR Michigan’s decision to cancel its muskiestocking program this year due to a virus

outbreak in adult fish they capture for muskie eggs has prompted Indiana DNR officials to say a similar situation could develop in the

Hoosier state. Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSv), which is responsible for a number of dead fish in Lake St. Clair and the

Detroit River, could potentially show up in Lake Webster, Indiana’s only source for muskie eggs. “If VHSv does show up in Lake Webster, we wouldn’t want to bring infected eggs into our hatchery system where they could contaminate the water and spread to

other fish,” said Dave Meuninck, manager at the Bodine State Fish Hatchery and DNR fish disease coordinator. To reduce the risk, Meuninck processes dozens of fish collected each spring from Lake Webster for testing during Indiana’s muskie egg-taking

operation. The fish, including bluegills, bass, and other species, are captured in traps used to catch adult muskies. Meuninck removes their kidney and spleen, then sends the organs off to Purdue’s Animal Disease and D i a g n o s t i c Laboratory for analy-

sis. No VHSv has been detected at Lake Webster, or anywhere else in Indiana, to date. “If we find it, we’ll have to make major adjustments to our muskie program,” said Meuninck. “That could mean trying to establish another brood fish population, getting eggs from out of state sources, or holding virus-free adult muskies in a pond all year.” “Either way it complicates the situation,” he said. VHSv is contagious and can spread from lake to lake within a watershed. Anglers can also spread it by not adequately cleaning their fishing gear, boats and trailers. The virus can infect dozens of susceptible fish species. Some species, including muskies, are very susceptible while others, such as walleyes, are somewhat resistant. VHSv kills fish by (continued on page 27)

Outbreaks typically occur in the spring when the water is still cool and fish are stressed during spawning. There is no known way to eliminate the virus once it appears but not all fish succumb to it. Survivors can become carriers however. After outbreaks of the Great Lakes’ strain of VHSv began more than 10 years ago, DNR biologists have sampled fish from various waters

Lake Webster and Brookville Reservoir, the DNR’s walleye brood source lake, are especially targeted for testing. “So far Indiana is VHSv-free,” said Meuninck. In addition to testing for VHSv in brood source lakes, fish reared in Indiana hatcheries are tested prior to stocking. Muskie fingerlings scheduled for stocking in Lake Webster in mid-May were tested and no VHSv was detected.

Public Notice IC 14-11-4 was enacted to ensure that adjacent property owners are notified of permit applications and provided with an opportunity to present their views to the Department of Natural Resources prior to action under the Flood Control Act, IC 1428-1. Project Description and Location: The Wabash River Trail Inc. proposes the construction of roughly 1,000 feet (0.19 mile) of trail along the Wabash River in the Town of Lagro, Indiana. This section of the trail will be constructed in the floodplain of Rager Creek. The trail will be a 10-foot-wide asphalt trail with 2-foot stone shoulders. It will be built on existing grade with no fill required. The trail construction in the Rager Creek floodplain is part of the 1.18 miles of trail proposed through the Town of Lagro. The purpose of the trail is to provide a scenic bicycle and pedestrian route that connects communities along the river, while promoting tourism and economic development. This trail portion is located approximately 520 feet south of E Blue Star Hwy and 330 feet south of Washington St. The trail runs southwest along the upland banks of Lagro Creek and Wabash River to a turnaround west of Tipton Street. Stream Name: Rager Creek Applicant's Name, Address, and Telephone: Wabash River Trail, Inc. P.O. Box 810, Wabash, Indiana 46992, 260-571-1138 Agent's Name, Address, and Telephone: Emily Stulik, Green 3, LLC, 1104 Prospect St, Indianapolis, IN 46203, 317-634-4110 Questions should be directed to the agent. An informal public hearing, pre-AOPA (Administrative Orders and Procedures Act) hearing may be requested on this application by filing a petition with the Division of Water. The petition must conform to administrative rule 312 IAC 2-3-4 as follows: (a) This section establishes the requirements for a petition to request a public hearing under IC 14-11-4-8(a)(2). (b) The petition shall include the signatures of at least twenty-five (25) individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and who reside in the county where the licensed activity would take place or who own real property within one (1) mile of the site of the proposed or existing licensed activity. (c) The complete mailing addresses of the petitioners shall be typed or printed legibly on the petition. (d) Each individual who signs the petition shall affirm that the individual qualifies under subsection (b). (e) The petition shall identify the application for which a public hearing is sought, either by division docket number (application number) or by the name of the applicant and the location of the project. The Department’s jurisdiction under the Flood Control Act, IC 14-28-1, is limited to a project in the floodway of the waterway that includes but not limited to rivers, streams, ditches, and creeks. To be approvable a project must demonstrate that it will: (a) not adversely affect the efficiency or unduly restrict the capacity of the floodway; defined as, the project will not result in an increase in flood stages of more than 0.14 feet above the base 100-year regulatory flood elevation, (b) not constitute an unreasonable hazard to the safety of life or property; defined as, the project will not result in either of the following during the regulatory flood: (1) the loss of human life, and (2) damage to public or private property to which the applicant has neither ownership nor a flood easement; (c) not result in unreasonable detrimental effects upon fish, wildlife, and botanical resources. Additionally, the Department must consider the cumulative effects of the items (a) through (c). A request for a pre-AOPA public hearing or notice of initial determination pursuant to 312 IAC 2-3 should be addressed to: Technical Services Section, Division of Water, Department of Natural Resources 402 West Washington Street, Room W264, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2641, Telephone: (877) 928-3755 or (317) 232-4160. You may also request that the Department notify you in writing after an initial determination is made to issue or deny the permit. Following the receipt of the approval or denial notice, you may request administrative review of the determination by the Natural Resources Commission under IC 4-21.5 and 312 IAC 3-1. This request should be addressed to: Division of Hearings, Natural Resources Commission, Indiana Government Center North, Room N501A, 100 North Senate Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46204, Telephone: (317) 232-4699.
