Wabash attorney participates in USS Indiana commissioning By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A local attorney was on hand in late September when the USS Indiana, the U.S. Navy’s latest Virginia-class submarine, was commissioned in Port Canaveral, Fla. U.S. Navy Capt. Doug Lehman (Ret.) was a member of the submarine’s commissioning com-

mittee, a group in charge of arranging a variety of celebrations before and after the Sept. 29 commissioning ceremony. The ship was christened in April 2017 in Norfolk, Va., and, at the request of the committee, was commissioned in Port Canaveral. “One of the reasons we wanted it at Port Canaveral was because originally the commis-

sioning was scheduled for this past winter,” Lehman told The Paper of Wabash County during an interview at his law office on Canal Street in downtown Wabash. “We felt it would be better where it would be warm. The other reason we wanted to do it there was because there are a lot of Hoosiers who live and/or winter in Florida. (continued on page 4)

Weather can’t stop Chili Cook-off fun By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Organizers for the 16th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off knew it would be a success if the rain

would just stay away. It was cold throughout the day, but the precipitation held off long enough for the popular event to go off without a hitch. Patrons flocked to the almost 90 chili booths to see who had

the cream of the crop. It did rain for about 10 minutes late in the afternoon. The award ceremony was hurried along due to the bad weather, and some tents were damaged due to the wind. (continued on page 8)

Voters in the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County will have two chances to hear from the candidates for the MSD school board next week. On Oct. 29 at the Wabash County YMCA, candidates will gather for a meet and greet with the public. The event will run from 5-8 p.m. and will allow MSD residents to meet one-on-one with the various candidates. The following night, on Tuesday, Oct. 30, an MSD candidate forum will take place in the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall. Sponsored by the Wabash County Retired Teachers

Association, the forum will begin at 7 p.m. The Paper editor Joseph Slacian will serve as moderator and will ask questions submitted by the public and composed by the forum committee. The same questions will be asked of the various candidates on a rotating basis, according to organizers. The name of the people submitting questions will not be revealed. Candidates will have three minutes to answer the questions and, at the end of the debate, one minute to give a closing remark. Candidates will not be given advance knowledge of the questions, organizers said. (continued on page 9)

MCS school board flyer raises concerns By Amanda Bridgman abridgman@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — A political flyer about Manchester Community Schools referendum inserted in some of Tuesday, Oct. 16, editions of The Paper of Wabash County has drawn some fire.  The flyer, titled “FACTS about the Manchester School Referendum” asks “Did you know?” and lists 19 bullet points about the hotly debated

Fieldhouse project. The flyer ends with “Vote for Board Members who will respect and include the community. Kevin Kling, David Terflinger, Michael Dixon.” A disclaimer at the bottom of the flyer reads “Not paid for or endorsed by a candidate for office.” According to the Indiana Election Division, the disclaimer identifies who paid for certain political material and whether any candidate (continued on page 5)

Manchester Marketplace celebrates community, new location anniversary Saturday, Oct. 20 By David Fenker Special to The Paper NORTH MANCHESTER — One year ago, siblings Gary Long and Rochelle Long took a leap of faith and relocated Manchester Marketplace away from North Manchester’s Main Street. The bulk food and discount grocery store, now located just south of town at 11659 N. State Road 13, expanded its selection with the move, which also made taking deliveries easier. “We are very thankful for all the support shown from the com-

munity and the surrounding area,” Gary Long said. “We are grateful for our customers from South Whitley, Wabash, Huntington, Bippus, Andrews, Silver Lake, and many more towns and cities. “We look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.” The store hosted a customer appreciation day Saturday, Oct. 20. The event featured a corn hole scoring challenge, door prize drawings, food samples and more. Younger children could ride a barrel train, and Country

View Farms served up hot samples of its pulled pork and hamburgers, now sold at M a n c h e s t e r Marketplace along with other meat options. “Truly God is Good,” Gary Long said after the event. “Sunshine, nice temperatures, and breezy until after the event was over and cleaned up.” He continued, “A year ago, when we moved out here, it was too overwhelming and we didn’t have enough time to do a grand opening. It’s a way of telling our customers thank you, a way of

generating new interest in the business, and letting our customers know we appreciate their support.” Long estimated that nearly 500 people attended the event, which ran from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Additionally, Eel River Outdoor Power supplied a mower for the barrel train and hats to give away, and Metzger Landscaping and Design gave away a large patio mum. In addition to its bulk food and discount grocery items, M a n c h e s t e r Marketplace offers a full deli, local eggs and seasonal produce, and a variety of other food items. In December, M a n c h e s t e r Marketplace will celebrate seven years of

Wabash attorney participates in USS Indiana commissioning ...continued from the front page

“That’s a retirement locale. Virginia is not a retirement locale for people from Indiana. We felt there would be a bigger, better turnout if the commissioning was in Port Canaveral.” Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer, who has the ultimate decision, agreed. And, the committee was correct. “It turns out we had a pretty big crowd,” Lehman said, noting that estimates put

crowd size at about 5,000 people. “I think (it was) somewhat of a surprise of Navy officials.” A commissioning ceremony should not be confused with a christening ceremony. “I tell people, technically the christening, when they break the bottle over the bow, is when the vessel is official named,” Lehman said. “It’s had a name all along, but it’s ‘I christen thee the USS Indiana. May she and

her crew always have fair winds and following seas,’ or something along those lines. That’s the christening. That’s the event that’s usually hosted by and somewhat arranged by the shipyard. “The commissioning is like being at the car dealer and, after signing all the papers, the dealer says, ‘OK, the car is yours,’ and you can drive it away. It’s where the shipyard says to the Navy, ‘OK, she’s yours now,’ and she officially becomes a member of the United States Navy fleet.” The commissioning committee primarily has two purposes. One is to arrange the celebrations before and after the commissioning. The second, and some would argue the most important, is to raise funds for the celebrations. The USS Indiana commissioning committee raised about $400,000 in donations, Lehman said. “We are responsible for raising all these funds so that all these ‘parties’ – that’s not exactly what they are, but ‘parties’ if you will – are not funded by taxpayer money. They’re

CAPT. DOUG LEHMAN (RET) funded by people who raise funds. They’re funded by the commissioning committee who raise funds for the namesake.” The celebrations began three days before the actual commissioning ceremony, and continued the afternoon after the ceremony. On Sept. 26, the committee hosted a dinner for between 75 and 100 people, including about 15 members of the last vessel named USS Indiana, a World War II battleship. “There were about 14 or 15 veterans from the battleship and the (submarine) crew,” Lehman said. “It was sort of a chance for the crew to meet crew members from the prior namesake.

USS Indiana crew members run to board the submarine during the commissioning ceremony. Photo courtesy of U.S. Navy “There were a lot of stories being swapped. One of the attendees was a retired Navy captain who is 99 years old. Apparently he plays a pretty mean guitar and still sings.” The following day, the same two groups were treated to a picnic at the pier where the submarine was stationed. After the picnic, tours of the new submarine were given to the veterans and commission members. That evening, a dinner was hosted for Indiana officials who traveled to Florida to attend the event. “There were a number of county commissioners who came, and other elected officials as well,” Lehman said. “I know the Wells County Recorder was there. There were some state legislators that were there, too.” Friday morning saw a 5K Fun Run sponsored by the committee in conjunction with a local Navy group and the 500 Festival Committee from Indianapolis. Friday evening saw a dinner for upwards of 800 people. “Most of the food for these events were donations we got from various Indiana suppli-

ers,” Lehman said. “For example, Maple Leafe Farms gave us a whole bunch of duck meat for this. Indiana Pork Producers gave us some ribs. St Elmo’s gave us cocktail sauce. We ended up hiring a caterer down there that prepared all of it.” In addition to the food, all attending received a gift bag that contained various Indiana related items. “There was Albanese Gummy Bears,” he said, listing various items. “There was Clay’s Candy from South Bend. The Pacers gave a little plastic basketball. There was a real nice tumbler. There were clay pottery mugs from down south. “There were 800 gift bags. Minda (Lehman’s wife) and I stuffed most of those. We were down there all week and that’s what we were doing before the actual ceremony.” There were also special gifts given to both the crew and to the ship. Crew members each received a book from LaPorte County officials about a man who makes submarines in Michigan City, for example, while Porter County officials sent Orville Redenbacher Popcorn. The crew members also received wooden planks indicating that they are plank owners, or members of the vessel’s first crew. For the submarine, the committee presented three table tops, one for the ward room, and the other two for other locations on the vessel. The ward room’s table top featured a map of the state of Indiana in the center, each in a different color of wood. The names of the state’s 92 counties were

engraved on the edge of the table. “You’ve got to remember, everything that goes into a submarine has to go in through a hatch,” Lehman noted. “So (the table tops) are made of one-sixteenth veneer by an outfit in Indianapolis with wood provided by an outfit down in Jeffersonville. They can be rolled up and then put down the hatch.” Of the other two table tops, one was a basketball court with Indiana University and Purdue University named on either end. The other was a football field with Navy engraved in one end zone and Notre Dame in the other. “One of the things I did was write to IU to get permission to use their logo, because we had to do that,” Lehman said. “The wood they used for the Notre Dame end zone was a greenish wood to match their colors.” Other gifts which the board received included a picture of Neil Armstrong, a U.S. Navy captain and Purdue University graduate who was the first man to step on the moon. That item, along with a few other pieces of Armstrong memoriabilia, was donated by Purdue. The ship also received a humidor filled with cigars, as well as a case to hold cards, poker chips and dice. With the exception of the table tops, all the wood used on the various gifts were made with wood from Constitution Grove at the Crane Naval Supply Station in Indianapolis. “There’s a grove of (continued on page 5)

Wabash attorney participates in USS Indiana commissioning ...continued from page 4 trees there of primarily white oak,” Lehman explained. “Whenever they refurbish the USS Constitution, they get that wood from this grove of trees. The Constitution is still an active ship. It’s the oldest ship in the Navy and still considered a fully active, commissioned ship.” Navy officials allow certain groups, depending on the intended use, to have wood from trees that have fallen over because of storms. “We were able to get

enough wood to do all that,” Lehman said. “And every crew member and some other selected people got (wooden) pens that were handmade.” The day of the commissioning began with breakfast for about 300 VIPs, followed by the actual 90minute ceremony. Among the speakers were U.S. Rep. Jim Banks, Gov. Eric H o l c o m b , Commanding Officer Capt. Jesse Zimbauer and the ship’s sponsor, Diane K. Donald, wife of Adm. Kirkland

Donald (Ret.) With every ship that is built, the Navy appoints someone to be a sponsor, Lehman noted. “In the last 75 or 80 years, it’s always been a woman (sponsor),” he said. “Usually always theirs is some type of connection between the sponsor and either the namesake vessel or a relationship between that woman and the Navy.” In Mrs. Dunn’s case, her husband is the former director of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion program

and commander of the Navy’s submarine forces. After Mrs. Dunn orders, “It’s time to bring the ship to life,” the band plays and crew members, who were stationed on the dock, run aboard the ship and stand at attention on the edge of the submarine. Lehman said he was impressed by the USS Indiana. “These submarines are bigger than they used to be,” he said. “Yes, it’s a whole lot bigger. It’s three stories. But what they

MCS school board flyer raises concerns ...continued from the front page approves of the material if the material is paid for by someone other than the candidate. Under state election code, “A disclaimer is required when the name, or a photograph or drawing of the candidate appears in the material or the identity of the candidate is apparent by unambiguous reference.” But exactly what language is required in the disclaimer depends on who authorized and who paid for the literature of material. The three candidates mentioned in the flyer — Kling, Terflinger and Dixon — are trying to distance themselves from it. David Terflinger, a candidate for the Chester Township seat on the MCS board in the Nov. 6 election, said, “I didn’t endorse it. I didn’t have anything to do with it.” Michael Dixon, who is seeking the Manchester Town seat, said, “I did not endorse that flyer. I did not pay for that flyer.” Kling, who also vying for a Manchester Town seat, said, “I didn’t know anything about it. It wasn’t paid by me, and I had no knowledge of it.” All three also echoed the same sentiment about the content: That some of the information listed isn’t entirely accurate. MCS Board attorney Mark Frantz said he’s not concerned with the content of the flyer since it’s a political advertisement and there’s no law stating the information has to necessarily be true. However, he said he’s bothered by the disclaimer and financing laws part of matter.

The flyer was paid for and distributed by North Manchester business owner Bob Sklar. “Here’s the thing, and I know I upset one of them over this, and I was kind of hoping a story wouldn’t be done about it,” he said. “I guess if I would’ve been told you’re gonna have to put your name on this, I think I would’ve written it differently. “It was really just a thing to get some facts out to people, they could do their own checking, but to provide information for people who aren’t on Facebook or wherever, and it’s just a collection of facts to say, ‘Hey, form your own opinion, this is my view.” Sklar said he’s received negative feedback about the advertisement, adding he’s received “a couple of indirect threats.” As for the three candidates listed, Terflinger said he plans to put out his own flyer now. Kling said he believes “some of the numbers on that aren’t entirely correct.” He said he also did not like the language used. “I think the wording is a little too harsh,” he said. “To me, I wish that I would’ve been given a chance to look at it and say, ‘Hey, I approve this wording, I approve that wording,’ and not just thrown it out there with my name on it because it looks like I approved it ahead of time.” Dixon said he did see the flyer before it was printed and distributed. “I had a conversation with Bob,” he said. “I gave him some

advice in terms of some words that I would not use. He said the Manchester School Board is trying to extort $26 million from the taxpayers. I said that if regardless if that is how you feel, that is a very strongly worded statement that I don’t necessarily agree with.” He then said Sklar agreed to take that wording out and also to leave Dixon’s name off of it. Dixon said he learned of the flyer Monday morning when he received an email and a copy of it. “When I saw it, I immediately one, had to gather myself, and then two, I had to go talk to him directly about how I felt and that he and I had a conversation and I told him I didn’t want my name on it,” Dixon continued. He said Sklar told him he had been asked by people on who to vote for and felt like it was his obligation to to distribute information and to tell people who to vote for. He said Sklar added, ‘You can see it says right there at the bottom that you don’t have anything to do with it, you didn’t pay for this, you didn’t endorse this …” “But of course he didn’t put his name on it and I don’t know why,” Dixon added. Sklar said he has no apologies for the language. “You should have seen the first version,” he quipped when asked about it. Sklar also does not take responsibility for the accuracy of the facts he listed. “All I did was take a collection of what’s

been said. I just simply quoted things,” he said. “The rest are just a gathering of facts or statements that have been made. Some of these have been made by me, some of these have been made by other people, some of these have been written about already, and I was simply just compiling.” Sklar didn’t say why he left his name off the flyer, but said he was unaware of election code requiring him to do so. “Nothing in here is an opinion. The facts are the facts,” he said. Asked if he regrets putting this flyer out, Sklar said, “No. I don’t regret providing factual information to the community. With that, I would say that I feel comfortable with the facts as they’ve been presented.”

uted among 15 local charities, ranging from the Wabash County Cancer Society to the H o n e y w e l l Education outreach. “This is an event that has so many contributors,” Titus. “It just adds something else to a really fun day. The Honeywell Education Outreach was humbled by being named one of the recipients. “A lot of people see us as a concert hall when really we’re a 12-county regional non-profit, and do a lot of really great work with kids where we use the arts to teach state standards for free to area schools,” the H o n e y w e l l Foundation’s Eric Seaman said. “We also do things like bring kids in for ‘Page to Stage’ matinees where they can watch musicals that are relevant to the materials they are reading at the time.

That takes money to support. We are a non-profit, we were very happy to be a beneficiary of the event this year. Teresa Sites, president of the Wabash County Cancer Society said the money will go directly to cancer patients. “We can help with transportation, and can help them with their medication, and we have some equipment they can borrow and use,” Sites said. “It really does help the cancer patients inside Wabash County. We thank the committee for choosing us. It’s a great opportunity to help cancer patients.” The defending champs, Center Court Barbershop brought the same recipe to this year’s event in hopes of repeating taking the crown. “It’s about being with your friends and being around Wabash,” owner Jeff Leslie said. “The charities that benefit from this — I’ve always said many hands make light work. There so many people out here giving and it just helps our community out over and over again. So, that’s really cool. I really love seeing our community come together. That’s what it’s all about. Center Court Barbershop was second overall in the Open People’s Choice category. Jordan Tandy’s team decided to switch things up this year. They dressed in

Tandy said. “We’re just going to give it a try here today. “It’s just fun to see the community come together for what’s just a good time.” Bavarian Nation won the Unusual Ingredient award for their efforts.

Spartans join U Can Crush Hunger campaign From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r University is taking part for the first time this year in the U Can Crush Hunger campaign, a friendly competition among schools in northeast Indiana with a single goal – to collect 55,000 pounds worth of food for food pantries, or the equivalent in monetary donations. The fourth annual U Can Crush Hunger takes place from Oct. 22 to Nov. 5. “U Can Crush Hunger aligns with the university’s mission to give back to the community, and dealing with food insecurities is an important thing for us to focus on,” said Allison Goetcheus, director of the Center of Service Opportunities. “This is really a good way to create a friendly competition where everybody wins and we can work with other universities to promote a positive message and have a positive impact.” The other schools are Huntington University, Indiana

Tech, Ivy Tech Community College, Purdue Fort Wayne and the University of Saint Francis. Canned goods and monetary donations received will be distributed by the Community Harvest Food Bank, which is based in Fort Wayne. Each dollar raised is equivalent to four pounds worth of canned goods. The most-needed items are peanut butter, canned meat, canned tuna, canned vegetables and canned fruit. How to help with #UCanCrushHunger: M a n c h e s t e r University students will go door to door from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25 in neighborhoods near campus. Costumed Spartans will “trick or treat” from College Avenue down to Fifth Street, between East and Market streets. Attend the Spartan football game at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, where there will be free admission with a canned good donation. Bring your donation when you visit the Haunted Police and Fire Station, 705 W. Main St., during trick or treat for the town of North

Manchester, from 5-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31, at the Public Safety Complex. The theme is Carn-Evil, and all ages are welcome. Students will adjust the “scare” level upon request. Students, faculty and staff will dress up for Costume Bingo at 8:08 p.m. Oct. 31 in Haist Commons at the annual Manchester Activities Council event that traditionally collects canned goods. Donation barrels for canned good items will be located in the lobbies of the Jo Young Switzer Center, Academic Center Welcome Center, Science Center and the Physical Education and Recreation Center. The Pharmacy Student Leadership Council is organizing U Can Crush Hunger events at the Fort Wayne campus, 10627 Diebold Road, and there will be a barrel in the lobby. “Pharmacy Wars” is a friendly competition between P1, P2 and P3 students. Staff, faculty, friends and family can select a class and help its students win. Donate online at https://bit.ly/2AgY anW.

City OKs bids to demolish 3 homes By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Bids from two firms to demolish three homes in Wabash were approved when the Wabash Board of Publics Works and Safety met on

Thursday, Oct. 18. Earth Works, Urbana, received the OK to demolish homes at 978 Mill St. and 131 E. Maple St., while Brainard Excavating and Snow Removal, Wabash, received OK to demolish a home at 610 High St. Earth Works bid

$4,150 for the Mill Street home and $5,450 for the Maple Street home. Brainard bid $5,470 for the Maple Street home. H a n k ’ s Construction also submitted bids for the projects. In another matter, Scott Hearn received a timeline of when work on his home at 112 E. Main St. needed to be completed. B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens compiled a list of work and deadlines for when work at the site needed to be completed. Hearn told the board he could abide by the deadlines. Deadlines include: Having the yard and porch free of debris and maintained, and having the facia repaired to a weather-tight condition by Dec. 7. Completing repairs to the facia by April 15, 2019. Repairing gutters, chimney and siding by July 1, 2019. The board has been working with Hearn for a few months to get repairs made and the outside of the house cleaned and

maintained. “I’ve been by there,” board member Todd Titus said. “It looks quite a lot better.” Finally, the board presented home owner Chad Vigar a series of issues Stephens had with his refurbishing a home at 604 State St. The board ordered Stephens to issue a stop work order at the site after its Oct. 4 meeting. Stephens issued the order, but reported to the board on Thursday that Vigar continued working there in spite of the order. Vigar contends that Stephens told him it was OK to continue working, something both Stephens and Code Enforcement Officer Kipp Cantrell deny. Among the violations listed was not contacting the B u i l d i n g Commissioner’s office for an inspection for the pouring of a foundation. Other items include having anchor bolts missing or placed incorrectly, having studs placed farther than 16 inches above and below a

window, having ceiling joist spans a foot too long and having the ceiling joist scabbed together in the existing part of the structure. Vigar agreed to dig out around the foundation so Stephens and Cantrell to inspect to make sure it was properly poured. “We’ve got to have everything on this list correct,” Mayor Scott Long said. “That’s the bottom line.” Some of the things are easily corrected, he noted. “I don’t want to get in adversarial relationship between you and my building commissioner,” the mayor told Vigar. “We just want to make sure things are done right. So, calmer heads need to prevail. You need to follow his instructions and make the corrections he’s asking you to make. It’s going to benefit you in the long run.” The board will receive an update at its Nov. 1 meeting. The stop work order was lifted, contingent on his working on the required changes.

Lagro News becomes an inspiration to his coaches. Why does one player fold under the pressure and the other seem to thrive on it? The difference is that one competitor mentally structured the difficult situation so that it became highly threatening and the other successfully saw it as challenging. Whether situations are seen as threatening or challenging is under our control, a control acquired by structuring our thoughts and ideas in positive, constructive directions. In life we are faced with many adversities, so try to stay positive and view them as challenging and not threatening. If you can embrace adversity positively, you have made a big step in the lessons that life has a way of teaching all of us.â&#x20AC;?

Wabash Wicks ribbon Peterson enrolls at the University of Findlay cutting planned WABASH COUNTY – Grow Wabash County is excited to announce an official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Wabash Wicks on Friday, Oct. 26, at 5 p.m. Seventeen years ago, Wabash Wicks Owner, Allison Floor, was looking for a way to express her creativity outside of raising her three boys. Candle making was something that had always piqued her interest, so she began to research the craft. After a few months her dad approached her with a semi-sized offer to help move the concept from research to cre-

ation. After procuring a list of the essentials needed to begin her new journey, Allison’s father ordered enough materials to fill a semi-truck in an effort to ensure his daughter’s new business would get off on the right foot. From there, Wabash Wicks was born. When asked about the choice to move to a storefront, owner, Allison Floor, stated, “I decided in the spring that I needed to start looking for a storefront. I was outgrowing my kitchen and knew that I could more efficiently expand my product line by having a physical

location. Also, my customers could come in to smell and try the items out more easily with a shop. In the last eight years Allison has expanded Wabash Wicks inventory to include hand crafted soaps, bath bombs, lotions, car air fresheners, and more. Since opening the storefront Allison has plans to continue adding to her line of products and to offer bath bomb and soap making parties. “We are thrilled to welcome Wabash Wicks to our community” said Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, President and CEO of Grow Wabash

County, “Allison embodies the true spirit of an entrepreneur and we look forward to working with her as her business grows!” Wabash Wicks is located at 1019 N. Miami St. Wabash. A 10 percent discount will be given on all purchases the day of the ribbon cutting and from 5-7 p.m. all melts will be $5 a bag.

VIEWPOINT

Let supporters pay for fieldhouse Dear Editor: Community is about the people, not the material items contained in it! A community is the people and relationships. It includes respect and consideration for each other. It does not include hiding information or being selfi s h . What intelligent individual would want to move his or her family into a community where retired people on fixed incomes and young families living paycheck to paycheck are forced to pay for a shiny new $26M (yes ... $26M not $16M) tourist attraction? Not many that I know of ! What will happen to the reputation of our community when people are forced to pay for other people’s dreams, with such little regard for the impact to others? What is the reason for withholding so many answers to

important questions? Ignoring very justified questions from the community only provides the perception of deceit, regardless of the reason for avoiding them. And perception is reality! We need to stand together and vote no!!! Don’t let the size of the signs posted determine your vote! A book should never be judged on its cover! This is only a $26M fictional book with a great looking cover and a lot of blank pages inside! Provide the community with the answers to all the questions that will fill the pages and complete the true story! If the fieldhouse is so important to the “yes” voters, let them pay for it or find ways to fund it without impacting the lives of so many in this small hometown community! – Michelle Glover, North Manchester

Democratic process prevails Dear Editor: Washington has again given us a great example of "the way of man." That "way" is the way humanity operates or behaves when it is motivated by the conviction that whatever it does is right. (Prov. 16:2, Isaiah 55:8) When the moral vision of the scripture which is also incorporated in the U.S. Constitution is rejected, many believe they have the right and perhaps even the obligation to invent their own moral code. The conduct of others is then judged by what is right in their own eyes. The Kavanaugh confirmation process has forced us to look progressivism directly in the face. The strategies of the radical progressives endorsed by the leftist democrats and cheered on by the

biased media are appalling to most Americans. The stage show performed by the players in Washington should be a warning about the future of our nation's stability. If the depravity that infects us all is allowed to dominate our actions, our thinking, and our words, we will continue to lose our sense of decency and our regard for what is good and true. The selection of a Supreme Court Justice was meant to be an orderly, sober, and solemn process. It has turned out to be anything but that. Those who have misread the results of the 2016 presidential election will probably misread the results of the confirmation vote as well. I believe that the democratic process has prevailed in both instances. -Luke Hunt, Urbana

Galley, Haupert deserve support

Agree or disagree, just get out to vote Dear Editor: I have been following the discussions on the Wabash County Consolidation page on Facebook. Most of the anti-consolidation comments have me shaking my head. Statements about taxes, bus rides and $50 million buildings are thrown around as fact, without any data to back them up, which is nothing more than fear mongering. Some people, including three current school board members, treat the word “consolidation” as something that shouldn’t be spoken out loud, like Voldemort or Beetlejuice. I am not pro-consolidation, or anti-consolidation. What I am is a realist. And the reality is that if you don’t think that we are already on the state’s radar, you are sadly mistaken. We are already getting the side eye as they look at a small Northern Indiana county with a shrinking population and four high schools. The reality is that the anti-consolidation faction can yell, stomp their feet, send out mailers, post, put up signs, etc., but if the state decides they want something done, they hold all the cards. They can squeeze our schools financially until they have no other alternative. Some $22,000 was just spent on a survey that really didn’t tell us anything. I agree with the comments that we need a school board that is willing to look at all possibilities and be prepared for any outcome. Where we need transparency, we get secrecy. Where we need accountability, we are stonewalled. Where we need honest discussion and debate, we get an incredibly condescending attitude. Two years ago they tried to enact a “reconfiguration,” which resulted in two men getting booted off the board. It seems that the remaining three did not learn a lesson from this. We cannot make an informed decision without

information, and right now we don’t have any. What is best for us? I don’t know, but we should look at all options, whether it be collaboration, reconfiguration, consolidation, or just leaving things alone. Also, what about the condition of our buildings? Two years ago, we were told Sharp Creek needed to be closed. And yet, students are still there. I moved here at age 15 from suburban Dayton, Ohio. My high school there (grades 10-12) was bigger than all three here combined. There are advantages and disadvantages to large schools, just as there are advantages and disadvantages to small schools. That can be debated until doomsday. And everyone hates change of any kind. I have heard about people commenting that their child will never wear blue and gray/black and orange/red and gray (take your pick). So, what you are saying is, school colors are more important than your child getting a quality education? Wow. Okay. I graduated from Southwood. My husband graduated from Wabash. Our daughters graduated from Northfield. We have rooted for, and will root for, all three. We are a community. We work together. We eat together. We shop at the same stores. We attend concerts, First Fridays, local festivals, the chili cook-off, churches, etc. together. As long as we keep electing the same people, we will get the same results. It’s time for a change. I’ve already decided where my votes are going, to Teresa Galley and Tiffany Haupert. I know Teresa personally, and I know that her top priority will be the kids and the staff. And I very much like what Tiffany has to say about transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility. So, whether you agree or disagree, get out and vote. Otherwise, don’t complain. — Deb Keffaber, Wabash

Dear Editor: There is a very important election coming forth that will set standards for the students of MSD for years to come. We believe Northfield and Southwood were a big improvement over the previous small schools but now it is time for another change to extend further improvement. First, we wish to thank the two present MSD board members, who are running for reelection, for their many hours devoted to the betterment of the school district but it seems they are disregarding the results of the recent survey they authorized. The $22,000.00 survey results indicated, as many of us felt, the necessity of further studies on options for the betterment of the educational system. There was an 80 percent favorable opinion to consolidate in some manner. Why then did a board majority, including these two present board members up for election, turn down a completely paid for study to access the “Studies for Advancement” phase 11? With this in mind we believe it is appropriate for a change in MSD School Board members. We believe there are two outstanding candidates who deserve special consideration in the upcoming election. Both of these candidates have the credential backgrounds and expertise to further the educational values of the school system. Tiffany Haupert is a financial advisor with the Beacon Credit Union, she is President of the Wabash County Purdue Extension Board. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Indiana Wesleyan University,

was a recipient of the Women of Distinction Award, Junior Achievement Volunteer, literacy coach and math tutor for the Learn More Center, Distinguished Advisor Award 2013 and 2015, softball coach, and 4-H Fair non-livestock judging assistant are a few of her many accomplishments. Teresa Galley was a past President of the Wells Fargo Bank, and is presently head of the Educational Outreach program at the Honeywell Foundation. She graduated from Southwood High School and Indiana University with a degree in Speech Communications, she was the first graduate from college in her family, a past President of Rotary Organization, she is a former President of the Wabash County Hospital Foundation, past member of the M a n c h e s t e r U n i v e r s i t y P r e s i d e n t s Leadership Council, and Education C o m m i t t e e Chairman of Paradise Spring H i s t o r i c Organization. These are a few of her many accomplishments. Both of these candidates have the qualifications to direct the board for betterment of the educational opportunities for the Metropolitan students. Their past education and achievements will be very instrumental regarding financial obligations and the important issues facing the MSD Board in the future. Please consider these two well qualified individuals when you vote for the school board members, Tiffany Haupert and Teresa Galley. — Larry and Anne G. Curless, Wabash

The deadline for letters related to the Nov. 6 General Election is 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26

THE PAPER

October 24, 2018

VIEWPOINT Separate MCS needs and wants Convert WHS into a Dear Editor, I am far from being a political person but the noise concerning the current school referendum has gotten too loud to ignore. I will not be swayed by the big spenders that flood me with editorials, ads in the papers, signs, and postal mailers. I am disappointed with their constant cries of safety and love of your schools that has gone from a serious discussion to a club aimed at influencing the vote by shaming the voters of the district to vote their way. For me, this proposed plan of action flew in out of nowhere and was passed by the School Board before few could get a grip on the conversation. There is no doubt that the core supporters were the ones that introduced, pushed and then were already organized to move the process. That was evident when a local PAC was quickly formed, money was taken and the blitz was started to influence the narrative. There are some much-needed considerations in this referendum concerning reconfiguring the school offices for ease of the public and safety of children. Additional items include several school repair items and a great addition at

the high school to add some updated technology learning space. But, as with many agenda-driven proposals, some saw this as a chance to add some “Wants” to the actual “Needs” mentioned above. Yep, “The Field House” and “Artificial Turf ” for the football field. This is where the big dollars come to light. I can support a covered walkway between the two schools to keep the kids out of the weather and the added safety it could afford and I know that has costs involved but they cannot come close to the cost of a “Field House”. A Field House and Artificial Turf should come from interested persons in the community teaming up like they have so many times before to make it happen. In the end, I cannot afford to, nor do I wish to support someone else’s “Wants” but I will support their “Needs.” In the long haul, I would also suggest that the Manchester Community Schools cannot afford this project. If this referendum is approved, when future MCS “Needs” arise, and they will, where will MCS find the dollars when taxpayers are already stretched because we are paying for “Wants”? I am concerned also about

the moving target that is the cost. It is interesting that as we go on, the cost is not being mentioned much anymore or seems to not be the “entire” cost. I see $15 million a lot when the total cost is closer to $28 million. I also noticed in the latest full-page blast from the Friends of Manchester Schools that the School Board will ask “Homeowners,” for the money! In fact, it is homeowners, businesses and landowners with businesses and landowners asked to carry the major part of the load. This is not a farmer issue, it is a landowner issue. Some folks own land and do not farm while others farm and might not own much land. Landowners will carry a large financial load if this passes and I am one of those as well as a homeowner. In closing, I am a bit offended by the notion in many editorials that if a person votes no on this issue they are not “Friends of Manchester Schools” and are not concerned about the safety of our children. My “No” vote on this issue does not change my long-standing support of MCS. The chips will fall where they fall. It is unfortunate we had to pit neighbor against neighbor to get there. — Randy Showalter, Roann

new vocational school Dear Editor: I have been reading what is printed in the papers about the consolidation of the Wabash County schools. Seems as they are trying to make statements that look good to readers. I came from a one-room school, one teacher and eight grades. We learned more than the kids do today. Iknow we have modernized and they know very little about reality. The teacher was paid $77 a month. I have had four generations of kids in the school system. I can outsmart any of them about reality. They are really good at the little thing in their hands and their thumbs work good. I know we have modernized and times have changed from years ago. Now what I think about the consolidation of the three schools. Has anyone thought of leaving Southwood and Northfield schools as is; they have the grade schools. If need be they

both have room for expansion. Wabash parents could send their students to the school of their choice or have the dividing line in the city. That would save all the students from transportation to this place or that place. You do not learn much riding the bus. Wabash High School could be expanded for more vocational training. I know a man that took carpentry and has a great business. Years ago I opted to take upholstery when a Mr. Baker from Manchester was the teacher and was quite good at it. All graduates cannot affort college and this would be a great thing. The gym could be used for community projects as we have few choices and maybe at a more cost saving thing. The cost of building and finding groud would be enormous. Think about it. We need some common sense thinking and now how to spend someone else’s money. – Italene Wagoner, Wabash

Dazey, Driscoll are right choices Dear Editor: I have lived in Wabash County all my life, graduated from Northfield High School and our son went through Northfield. Contrary to popular opinion, I am not a farmer with a longstanding opposition to consolidation. I am involved in business in this community with a genuine concern about our education. I am a lifelong Wabash resident who wants to make sure that accurate information is available to those who have an interest in ensuring that our kids’ education is first when considering change. One of those potential changes involves the upcoming school board election. We have to be realistic about the polices, board procedures and school finances to help us navigate those changes correctly. We don’t want things done our way; we want things done the right way. We need to have a mindset that is open to possibilities, to analyze all options and to make the very best decisions. I know Matt Driscoll and Todd Dazey personally. I know

their values and I trust that they will consider every option whether I agree with them or not. Their board experience brings with it a conservative approach because they have learned over time that changes need to be implemented correctly the first time. I trust them to make sound decisions moving forward. Beside the election, the other upcoming change involves the future of our school districts. There is a lot “right” about the MSD school system. I know there is a lot “right” about the Wabash City Schools system. The recent survey of MSD showed that there are currently a lot of happy students and happy patrons in MSD who are in favor of being open minded and moving forward. We have to be realistic and we have to put our kids’ education first. We have to make sure that accurate information is available to all of us. The flyer that was distributed was an attempt to do that. The information that was presented was accurate according to the MSD

administration. With the negative publicity that was and continues to surround MSD, the purpose of the flyer was to shed light on the good things that were and are happening. The facts included on the flyer were thoroughly researched and I encourage all those who are invested in the future of education in the Wabash community to do the same. Become informed and educated before forming your own opinion. One of the articles that I found helpful is titled “Rural School Consolidation.” It is found a t https://scholars.fhsu.edu/c gi?article=1096&context=alj . In addition, research the agendas of all those running for the MSD school board. For me, I want good representation with those familiar with the needs and daily operations of the MSD and Wabash County school community. For me, with changes on the horizon, experience is important and I endorse Driscoll and Dazey. – Bob Shultz, Wabash

College Goal Sunday is Oct. 28 INDIANAPOLIS – Financial aid professionals will be volunteering at 39 sites in Indiana to help college-bound students and their families open the door to financial aid during College Goal Sunday. The event is set for 2 p.m. (local time), October 28, 2018. The free program assists Indiana students in filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA form is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships and student loans at most colleges, universities and vocational/technical schools nationwide. The FAFSA MUST be filed by April 15 to be eligible for Indiana financial aid. College Goal Sunday is so important since completing this required form correctly and by the deadline is sometimes perceived to be complicated and time consuming. In less than one afternoon at a College Goal Sunday event, students and their families can get free help and file the form online. Now in its 30th year, College Goal Sunday has helped more than 94,000 Indiana students and families complete the FAFSA properly and on time. College Goal Sunday is a charitable program of the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association (ISFAA). “The event on October 28th will be one of two College Goal Sundays ISFAA is offering this FAFSA filing season.” said Bill Wozniak, co-chair of College Goal Sunday. “We hope all Hoosiers who have not filed already, take advantage of College Goal Sunday events across Indiana, file the FAFSA, and get one step closer to fulfilling their educational goals.” According to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, programs like College Goal Sunday are

reaching first-generation college students. In recent years, according to CHE statistics, more single-parent Hoosier families have filed for financial aid, indicating programs like College Goal Sunday are reaching highrisk students and their families. “Students who don’t complete their financial aid paperwork properly and on time are often very disappointed when they find out how much financial aid they lost,” said Wozniak. “This is why the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association not only continues to provide College Goal Sunday, but offers two events during the year. If our assis-

tance gives students a better chance at higher education and less debt, we’re fulfilling our mission.” Students should attend College Goal Sunday with their parent(s) or guardian(s), and parents’ should bring completed 2017 IRS

1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms and other 2017 income and benefits information. Students who worked last year should bring their income information as well. Students 24 years of age or older may attend alone and bring their own completed 2017 IRS

1040 tax return, W-2 Form or other 2017 income and benefits infor mation. Students and parents are encouraged to apply for their U.S. Department of Education FSA IDs at fsaid.ed.gov before coming to the event. Volunteers will walk through the online form line-byline and answer families’ individual questions as needed. All sites offer FAFSA online capabilities and many have Spanish interpreters. Help will be available at Ivy Tech Community College sites in Logansport, Fort Wayne and Warsaw. Full details and additional sites can be found at CollegeGoalSunday.o rg.

Students may also win one of five $1000 scholarships. Students who attend any of the College Goal Sunday sites and submit a completed evaluation form will automatically be entered in a drawing for a $1000 scholarship. The winners will be notified in December, and prizes will be sent directly to the higher education institution selected by the winning students. 21st Century Scholars are incomeeligible students who sign a contract in the seventh or eighth grade promising they will graduate from high school, meet grade point requirements, fulfill a pledge of good citizenship, and apply

for college financial aid. Upon high school graduation, Scholars who have fulfilled the commitment receive state funds to help cover their college tuition and fees for eight semesters at eligible Indiana colleges. To fulfill their pledge, scholars must submit a completed FAFSA form on time. College Goal Sunday can help. College Goal Sunday originated right here in Indiana, and is now a national model. Following Indiana’s example, College Goal Sunday events organized by more than 34 states have opened doors to higher education for hundreds of thousands of students all over the country.

Sweet Halloween statistics out full-sized chocolate bars and which are offering other coveted goodies. Although consumer spending in October may not be as high as it is during the holiday season, Halloween shopping is considerable. Here is a look at some notable statistics for the season. • Financial resource The Balance states that 171 million Americans celebrated Halloween in 2016. Total spending for the holiday reached more than $8.4 billion, which was an all-time record. • Around 65 percent of Americans plan to celebrate Halloween, including getting dressed up or handing out candy. The U.S. Census Bureau says 41.2 million trick-or-treaters are children between the ages of five and 14. • The National Retail Federation says 70 percent of Americans hand out candy, spending around $25 per person on sweets. • The amount of children in Canada

participating in trickor-treating was up 1.4 percent between 2015 and 2016 — totalling 3,870,938, according to Statistics Canada. • Roughly $418.8 million was spent on candy, confectionery and snack foods at large retailers in Canada in October 2015. • According to a survey conducted by RetailMeNot, the average Canadian plans to spend $178 on Halloween. • Many people associate Halloween with children, but the day gives everyone the chance to dress up. The NRF estimates that Americans will spend more money on adult costumes than those for children. Witches, pirates, vampires, Batman, and cats are the most popular adult costumes. • Halloween is celebrated in many different countries. In addition to the United States and Canada, areas of Europe, Asia and Latin America have their own Halloween celebrations.

Buck flies from the Teterboro, N.J., private airport to Milwaukee, and he’s in bed by 1:45 a.m. Central Time. • Friday, Oct. 12—NLCS Game 1 in Milwaukee. • Saturday, Oct. 13— NLCS Game 2 in Milwaukee. • Sunday, Oct. 14— Home. • Monday, Oct. 15—A 6 a.m. flight to Los Angeles for Game 3 of the NLCS, which started at 5 p.m. PT.

He was in Milwaukee on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 19-20, for the final two games in the NLCS. He then does the World Series, which starts on Tuesday, Oct. 23, in the American League city. It’s too bad that city isn’t Houston, because it would be convenient, allowing hime to do Game 1 and 2 of the Series on Tuesday and Wednesday, then the Miami-at-Houston NFL Thursday-nighter, then World Series Games 3, 4 and 5 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Los Angeles. Nathan Eovaldi in ALDS: 7 innings, 1 run vs

the Yankees. In ALCS: 6 innings, 2 runs vs the Astros. Two great auditions for free agency — and the teams he faced might be among the bidders. Eovaldi is exactly the type of pitcher the Astros have targeted in recent years. The Red Sox may want to re-sign him! From Peter Gammons: The computer experts would never understand what Nathan Eovaldi and Jackie Bradley, Jr meant to their teammates in the ALCS. “I can’t see myself anywhere else, I love everything about this place,” Myles Turner said the day after signing a contract extension with the Pacers. A positive omen for all Pacer fans. World Series tickets prices for Game 1 at Fenway Park: Bleachers: $650-$1.2K. Grandstand: $850-$2.4K, Loge Boxes: $1.2K-$3.8K,

digs, and Hayslett added seven points and 27 digs. Abby Vinopal rounded out the stat leaders with five points and 10 digs. Wabash advances to the Frankfort Semistate Saturday, Oct. 27 at 6 p.m., where it will face North Judson (25-7).

A sample of what boxwood blight looks like.

Boxwood blight found in Indiana From the DNR The DNR Division of Entomology & Plant Pathology has discovered that a shipment of boxwood plants infected with boxwood blight was shipped to Indiana in May. This is important because boxwood blight (Calonectria pseudonaviculata) is a fungal disease that infests members of the popular Buxaceae family, and is often transported through the nursery trade. Hosts include Buxus ( b o x w o o d ) , P a c hy s a n d r a (Japanese spurge) and Sarcococca (sweetbox). In total, 23 stores in Indiana received infected material in early spring (particularly “Graham Blandy” cultivar), and it’s possible that members of the public inadvertently purchased some plants.

The fungus, which can lay dormant in drier conditions, can be found on all aboveground portions of the plant and presents itself as dark leaf spots. It causes rapid defoliation, which typically starts on the bottom of the plant and moves toward the top. This fungal pathogen can move through sporulation in water and from dropped leaves. As a result, infection can spread to surrounding plants from a single infected p l a n t . If you suspect one of your plants shows signs and symptoms of boxwood blight, please call (866) NO EXOTIC (866-6639684) use the informat i o n at dnr.IN.gov/entomolo. For more information on this pathogen see the following link extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/B

P/BP-203-W.pdf A DNR inspector found the plants at a national chain home and garden store in early October. The shipment originated at a nursery in Oregon. It was also sent to stores in 11 other states. Upon confirmation of boxwood blight on these plants by the Purdue Plant and Pest Diagnostic Lab, the DNR required that the chain remove all boxwood from their shelves for disposal and that the stores mitigate the area through disinfection to ensure that the pathogen is no longer present and able to infect further shipments of plants. The DNR is currently surveying for boxwood blight in Indiana. To date, the DNR has not found the pathogen, except for a few interceptions like this one.

Oak Ridge Boys to perform in Wabash By The Paper staff

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Grammy Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members, The Oak Ridge Boys, will once again celebrate the Christmas season with their timeless hits and holiday classics on their 2018 Shine The Light On Christmas Tour. This year’s tour will take the legendary group to 32 cities in 18 states, including Wabash, and is set to kick-off on Nov. 14 in Branson, Mo. The band will perform Nov. 24 at the Honeywell Center. Each year The Oak Ridge Boys’ Christmas tour plays to packed houses across America. Blending a mixture of traditional and contemporary songs— including religious, romantic, and fun holiday tunes—The Oak Ridge Boys’ set list will take their audiences on a hitfilled musical roller coaster ride of holiday cheer from their

six best selling Christmas album catalog. “The Shine The Light On Christmas Tour this year will be our 29th annual Christmas tour,” said Oaks’ Joe Bonsall. “We will sing hit songs for 40 minutes and after a short intermission our full p r o d u c t i o n Christmas show takes over the stage with music celebrating every aspect of the holiday season, from Santa Claus to celebrating the birth of Jesus. Our production is all new and fresh this year and we are more excited than ever to be bringing this very special family event to your town!” As part of a collaboration with Bluegrass duo, Little Roy & Lizzy, The Oak Ridge Boys were honored last night with their twelfth win at the 2018 Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards. “We love Little Roy & Lizzy and are just so happy that they won the GMA’s Dove Award for

“Dinner On The Ground.” says Bonsall. “YAY, Another Dove!! This one is for Best Country or Bluegrass Gospel Song.” The group — Bonsall, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban — are best known for their iconic and multi-platinum hit “Elvira,” along with other chart-toppers like “Bobbie Sue,” “Thank God For Kids,” “Y’All Come Back Saloon,” and “American Made.” The Oak Ridge Boys have achieved a decorated career, winning five GRAMMY® Awards, multiple CMA, ACM and Dove Awards for their crossover brand of pop, country and gospel music that spans multiple generations. The Oak Ridge Boys became members of the Grand Ole Opry in 2011 and achieved arguably country music’s highest honor in October 2015 when they were inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame.

Clever costumes can be made from items already on hand.

Recycled Halloween costumes Nothing says Halloween like the perfect costume. Children may spend months thinking about what they will wear and how they can bring their favorite characters from movies, comics and books to life. Billions of dollars are spent each year on Halloween costumes, advises the National Retail Federation. Many of these costumes are worn just once. The environmental group Recycle Nation states that Halloween costumes are often made with low-value materials like petroleum-based polyester and a mix of other materials. Financially savvy e nv i r o n m e n t a l i s t s may lament that Halloween costumes can be wasteful and potentially harmful to the environment. Recycling and reusing these garments can quell such concerns. Use recycled mate-

rials Pinterest is awash with ideas for turning different materials into homemade Halloween costumes. With a little creativity, boxes, paper bags, plastic water bottles, and more can be upcycled into costumes at little or no cost. Afterwards, costumes can be broken down and individual parts can be recycled. Parents also can look for items around the house that potentially can be used to make costumes. An apron and a whisk is the perfect representation of a pastry chef. Wearing a pair of overalls and holding a hammer can signify a construction worker. Swap and share costumes Another way to get more mileage out of costumes is to swap them with other people. This way another family can benefit, and the costume will

not end up in the garbage after a single use. Consider turning the idea into a fundraiser for a school or sports organization. People can donate their costumes to the cause, and then others can shop the selection and pay a $5 donation for a costume. The school or organization keeps the proceeds, and kids get gently used costumes. Recycle where applicable Petroleum-based Halloween costumes that go into landfills will sit there a long time. Choosing costumes made from natural materials can help prevent this problem. Clothing and textiles are notoriously hard to recycle, but some items on costumes may be recycled into new things. Theater groups perhaps can use pieces of old costumes to create

wardrobes for their productions. Or children can use items for pretend play. Crafters with a creative eye may take apart pieces of costumes and turn them into artwork or home decor.

Sell older costumes Try selling a costume through an online site like Craigslist. Many people are happy to get a discount on costumes that are in good shape. Otherwise, work with a thrift shop or consignment store. Costumes may bring in foot traffic for these retailers, and they’ll be happy to take costumes in good condition prior to the Halloween season. Accessories like tiaras, swords, hats, and cloaks also can be sold or swapped. Halloween costumes are easy to enjoy, and those who want to think a little greener can find new ways to get more use out of costumes.

VIEWPOINT Many made Harvest Fest a success Dear Edtor: The 2018 Harvest Fest hosted by the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce was a success despite the rain, our decorated pumpkins, apple dumpling treats, hay rides, petting farm and live entertainment made this the perfect family fall day! We would like to thank our Sponsors: Car Recyclers Inc., & Troxel Equipment for the kiddie tractor pull, Collin Tennant of The Pumpkin Post & Wetzel Insurance, Christy Schuler &

the 2nd & 3rd grade students of M a n c h e s t e r Elementary School for their work in the pumpkin contest.

Fieldhouse isn’t logical To the Editor, W e support Manchester c ommunity schools; we do not support Manchester c ommunity debt. Spend $10,000,000 to borrow $16,000,000?? Regardless of any perceived benefits of the field-house project, that kind of financial “logic” makes absolutely no sense. Here’s a novel idea: If the backers of the field house want it so much, how about raising the money first and thus save us all $10 million? Secondly,

what kind of financial lesson does this teach our young people? “If you don’t have the money, just go into debt and borrow it!” As fiscally conservative homeowners and taxpayers, we would not pay $1,000 to borrow $1,600; why in the world would we want to sign on to pay ten million dollars to borrow 16 million dollars? (By the way, if anyone wishes to borrow $16 and pay us back $26, let us know!) – Timothy & Penny Morbitzer, North Manchester

Internship positions are available in a variety of departments including legislative, communications and media relations, policy or fiscal policy. “For many, internships are the building blocks of a career,” Wolkins said. “This internship helps young professionals get a foot in the door, which can sometimes lead to a full-time po-

An internship also provides a preview into what a potential career looks like outside the classroom.” When applying, students must also submit an official transcript, resume and two letters of recommendation.

It was a quick meeting of the Wabash County Commissioners Monday, Oct. 22, morning. The purchase and installation of a $6,700 10KW Generac generator for emergency use at the county’s newly bought coroner building was approved by the commissioners, pending checking the account balance for the excess dollars from the purchase of the building. Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land gave his weekly report and said 104 inmates are currently in the Wabash County Jail, 40 in Miami County and 10 in Elkhart County. Last week, Land said the average was

105, with 14 new bookings, 11 transports and a peak population of 108, with 30 of those inmates being held for Level 6 felonies, and two for B felonies, averaging 157 persons in custody between all three facilities. Three male inmates were sent to the Department of Corrections last week, with one more going this week, the sheriff reported. Land informed commissioners of three new-hires at his department, beginning Nov. 4. The next Wabash County Commissioners meeting is 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 29, in the Wabash County Courthouse.

Trick-or-treating tips for rural residents If someone were commissioned to paint a picture of Halloween bliss, it would probably showcase a neighborhood full of children ringing doorbells and gathering treats. Millions of children and adults participate in the annual ritual of trick-or-treating. For urban and suburban children, close-by

neighbors make it quite easy to fill up sacks of candy. However, people who live in rural areas — where homes may be miles away from one another — may find that traditional trickor-treating poses a challenge. So what is a rural kid, or any child whose resides in an area that is not conducive to

trick-or-treating, to do? • Hit the road. Plan a road trip to a neighborhood where trick-ortreating is encouraged in full force and is safe and inviting. Friends or family members may live in such neighborhoods and can host “out-of-town” trick-ortreaters. Others who are choosing a town off a map may want to try

an app called Nextdoor. It is a free and private social media site for neighbors that employs a Treat Map. Halloween fans can see exactly which houses are trickor-treat friendly. In 2014, Zillow issued a list of the 20 best neighborhoods for trick-or-treating as well. • Head to a shopping center. While it may not be the same as going door-to-door, rural residents can trick-or-treat at nearby shopping centers. Many shopping centers and malls host area children and dispense treats. • Organize a trunkor-treat. Trunk-or-treat events involve various participants parking in a community lot and opening their trunks or truck hatches to crowds of trick-or-treaters. Often these events are hosted by churches, schools or organized clubs. Trick-or-treating can be challenging for kids growing up in rural areas. But with a little ingenuity, such youngsters can secure their Halloween bounty as well.
