Mayoral debate to take place The Paper, Chamber to sponsor event By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The Paper of Wabash County and the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring a mayoral debate on April 16 at the Wabash County Historical Museum. The debate will begin at 7 p.m. All three mayoral candidates – Democrats Bob Mullett and Margaret “Boo” Salb and Republican Scott Long – have agreed to participate in the event. MULLET SALB LONG The public is invited to watch the debate in person, or view it live on The Paper’s WebTV. The Paper also plans to replay the debate on WebTV several General Manager of The Paper of Wabash. “It also will give the public a chance to see the candidates think on times before the May 5 primary election. “We believe that this event will give the people of their feet.” Kimberly Pinkerton, President of the Wabash County Wabash a chance to hear for themselves what the candiChamber of Commerce, said, “The Chamber feels it’s dates believe on a variety of subjects,” said Mike Rees,

very important to ensure the public has access to candidates and participates in election processes. “Being engaged in our community’s issues and governance makes for a much stronger community as we discuss and debate local issues of importance,” she continued. “Sometimes we have noncontested races, but we want our citizens to have every opportunity to get to know all candidates and learn their views and qualifications for office.” Candidates will be given a chance for an opening statement, and then will receive two minutes each to answer a question prepared by The Paper staff or submitted by the public. The candidates will then receive one minute per question as a rebuttal. The debate is expected to last one hour. Information on how the public can submit questions for consideration is available on The Paper of Wabash County’s Facebook page and on its webpage, www.thepaperofwabash.com.

Wabash County Commissioners signs letter to Duke Energy

Police seek info on rash of burglaries

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash County Commissioners took a stand against Duke Energy’s proposed five-mile transmission line, according to a letter signed at the board’s meeting on March 23. At the meeting, all three members signed a letter addressed to Duke Energy’s Government and Community Relations Manager Laura Sheets, which voiced the board’s concerns and disapproval of Duke Energy’s proposal. “It is clear to us that Duke Energy did not have best interests of the citizens of Wabash County in mind when it designed the route for this new transmission line,” the board wrote. “This proposed route clearly takes more from local farmers than is necessary to achieve the goals Duke Energy had in mind when the route was first conceived.” The proposed transmission line would cross from the Wabash Chippewa Substation to a new junction on County Road 100 East, affecting at least 1,000 acres of farmland. The letter came in response after Latheda Metzger, a representative of the farmers affected by Duke Energy’s proposal, raised the concerns at the board’s March 9 meeting. Although the board recognized the need for additional power in Wabash County and the benefits of an alternative transmission line, “we are of the strong opinion that the proposed route would do far more harm than good,” according to the letter. “This matter is of grave concern to us (continued on page 4)

Burglary leads to charges against two men By The Paper staff A burglary at Plaza Mini Mart last week led Wabash Police to make two arrests. One of the arrests was in connection with the burglary. The second stemmed from a search that took place at the business over several days. Sgt. Matt Benson, the Wabash Police Department’s Public Information Officer, said Saturday morning that police responded to a burglar alarm at Plaza Mini Mart, 180 Harrison Ave., at about 4:40 a.m. Tuesday, March 17. Cpl. Chad Galligan arrived on the scene and found a Wabash man, Kirk D. Hamilton, 28, allegedly in the alley behind the business. (continued on page 4)

The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department is seeking the public’s help in solving a string of 10 burglaries that have taken place in Wabash County in recent weeks. The burglaries, most of which have occurred during the day light hours, have taken place throughout the county, Sheriff Bob Land told The Paper of Wabash County. There is no description of the suspects, nor is there a description of any vehicle that may be involved in the burglaries, the sheriff added. He also said he doesn’t know if all of the burglaries are related. Land declined to discuss the type of items that have been taken during the burglaries. The sheriff is asking Wabash County residents to be mindful of suspicious activities in the area. He also stressed the importance of keeping watch for any suspicious activity at neighboring homes. Anyone seeing suspicious activity should contact the Wabash County Central Dispatch at 563-9223. Anyone with information related to the burglaries should contact Wabash County Crime Stoppers, 260-563-5821.

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Fire Department – at the request of the Drug Enforcement Agency and Parkview Hospital – must change the way it replenishes prescription medications in the department’s ambulances. In the past, the hospital stored the drugs for the department and would replenish them for

the fire department. However, the medication must now be kept at the station. Fire Chief Bob Mullett, at the March 18 Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety meeting, requested permission to spend money from the city ‘s Ambulance Fund to purchase a safe in which to store the drugs. The safe, from M e d i x s a f e , Memphis, Tenn., costs $3,000 plus another $65 per year for maintenance. Mullett said he and Jay Brainard, who oversees the department’s ambulance service, recently vis-

ited with the Three Rivers Ambulance Authority (TRAA) in Fort Wayne for tips on how to handle the situation. TRAA has about a dozen ambulances at a time on Fort Wayne streets. The safe, the chief explained, has several lines of defense to make sure drugs do go missing. “It requires not only a PIN code, but a thumb print or finger print to access it,” he said. “It logs who’s been in it. And we’ll keep a log inside to explain why you were in it.” The change comes in light of the Wabash County

Hospital’s affiliation with Parkview Hospital, which became effective Jan. 1. “They didn’t necessarily think our process was the best,” Mullett told the board. “We contacted the DEA and they gave us some pointers on how we should be doing it. This is all a tracking system to make sure that we know exactly where our drugs are. “This just makes it a much-more a c c o u n t a b l e process.” Mullett said the department would probably continue to buy the drugs from

the hospital, as it now does. However, board member Greg Metz said the department could now look to find the best price to purchase the needed replacements. “If we get a better price someplace else, we can go someplace else now,” he said. Mullett told The Paper of Wabash following the meeting that the supplier of the replacement drugs must be located in the City of Wabash. He also said the hospital generally offers the lowest prices now.

including denying that Harvey Industries violated the Worker Adjustment and R e t r a i n i n g Notification (WARN) Act which requires notice be given to all effected employees 60 days prior to the layoff. “Any failure to provide 60 days’ notice pursuant to the WARN Act, to the extent required by the WARN Act, is excused on the basis of the faltering business exception (and) … the unforeseen business circumstances exception,” according to the company’s response. “Any act or omission that constituted a violation of the WARN Act was undertaken in good faith,

and Defendant (Harvey Industries) had reasonable grounds for believing that the act or omission was not a violation of the statue.” Throughout 2014, the company attempted to have a contract with Borg Warner to secure future business, the Harvey response said. However, the firm eventually “knew or otherwise had reason to believe that it was not going to be awarded any contracts with Borg Warner no later than October 2014. The plant manager told one or more employees that Borg Warner had contract-

ed with someone else to produce the parts that Defendant previously provided to Modine,” according to the original complaint. Harvey Industries’ response admitted that they knew that they would not be awarded any contracts with Borg Warner and that the Plant Manager had informed one or more employees, however denies that it was “no later than October 2014.” The lawsuit seeks damages in the amount of 60 days’ wages and the value of 60 days of their Employee Retirement

Income Security Act (ERISA) benefits. According to Harvey Industries’ “Affirmed Defenses,” however, “the Plaintiff ’s Complaint fails to state a claim against Defendant upon which relief can be granted. … Defendant substantially complied with all statutory requirements. Plaintiffs have failed to mitigate any damages they have allegedly sustained.” Harvey Industries also objected to the lawsuit’s demand for jury “with regard to issues of an equitable nature which should be decided by the Court.”

County Commissioners signs letter to Duke Energy ... continued from the front page as we do not take any hardship forced upon local farmers and land owners lightly,” the board wrote. “It is our firm desire that Duke Energy rethink

its strategy to encumber prime farm land. We are requesting Duke Energy utilize an alternative, less disruptive route. “We believe it is in

everyone’s best interests to find a solution that benefits all parties involved rather than Duke Energy to go forward with its proposed route.”

Burglary leads to charges against two men ... continued from the front page Hamilton was preliminarily charged with burglary and is being held at the Wabash County Jail. Sgt. Nick Brubaker and officers Ron Miller, Matt Daughtry and Det. John Krhin further investigated the scene before arresting Hamilton,

according to Benson. Following the arrest, Khrin and the members of the Wabash Drug Task Force continued an investigation over the next several days and on Friday, March 20, obtained a search warrant for the Plaza Mini Mart.

Following a search of the business, Miteshkumar M. Adesara, 32, Wabash, was preliminarily arrested on narcoticsrelated charges, Benson said. Adesara is currently in the Wabash County Jail on a 72hour hold.

Wabash County gets ‘Fed Up’ about obesity By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County is the fourth most obese county in the ninth most obese state of the third most obese country in the world, according to Bryce Lindsay, Be Well strategic planning task force member and NuStart cofounder. On March 19, the Eagles Theatre opened its doors to more than 240 members of the community for a one-night only free showing of the film “Fed Up,” an examination of America’s obesity and the food industry’s role in “aggravating it,” according to a press release. “The reason (for the showing) is because Wabash County itself ranks very low when it comes to health,” Lindsay said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “That is a problem, not only health-wise, but also economically.” When a company begin to look for new communities to move into, Lindsay said, they look at the possible work force, both in population and in health. “We want jobs in our community and we want jobs for our kids to be able to come back to,” he said. “And that’s a major reason (to talk about Wabash County’s health) because we’ve got a really big problem.” Wabash City Schools and Metropolitan School District principals encouraged their students to attend the event, Lindsay said. Fifth through eight grade students from Wabash Middle School, Northfield Jr.Sr. High, Southwood Jr.-Sr. High,

Prior to the showing of ‘Fed Up’, a medical panel of six medical professionals from the Wabash community gathered on the Eagles Theatre stage to stress the importance of eating well. The panel included (from left) Dr. Bruce Trump, Dr. James Bain, Dr. Mary Anne Bain, Dr. Rose Wenrich, Dr. Jamie Lindsay, and (not pictured) Matthew Graham. Photo by Emma Rausch S o u t h w o o d Elementary, and Sharp Creek Elementary made up the majority of the theatergoers. Prior to the showing, a panel of six community medical professionals discussed several questions from the audience, asked via Twitter, about health and the impact of eating well and unhealthily. The panel of professionals included Dr. James Bain, Dr. Mary Anne Bain, Dr. Rose Wenrich, Dr. Bruce Trump, Dr. Jamie Lindsay, and Matt Graham. “What are some of the diagnoses that you see regularly that you feel may be preventable,” Twitter handler Fluffy79 wrote in to Bain. “And could good nutrition help prevent or even reverse a disease process?” “Well unfortunately most of the diagnoses I’ve seen are preventable,” Bain said to the audience. “Most of them frankly have a huge proponent of lifestyle and diet is a big part of it.” Dr. Lindsay said “Fed Up” was chosen, instead of other dietawareness movies, such as “Supersize

Me,” for several reasons, including who the film chose to follow. “It chronicles children in their journey and kids that struggle with weight and trying to be healthy, and it’s interesting to watch that,” Dr. Lindsay said. “I think kids of that age can relate to the movie because they can see how other children are struggling because it chronicles that.” The film also discussed health claim myths often advertised or found in popular literature, Lindsay said. “It gets so noisy, people don’t know what they should be listening to and don’t know what to understand, so it’s very confusing,” he said. “This movie helps clarify that.” Lindsay said that when Wabash discovers a problem in the community, the community responds by trying to find the solution. “I think if we can help drive up awareness, then we’ll drive up the right actions to address the real problems so we can come up with the real solutions,” Lindsay said.

Morrett Sports Complex going tobacco-free By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Morrett Sports Complex will become a tobacco-free facility beginning in April. As the complex now stands, the areas surrounding the playing fields were smoke-free, but smoking was allowed in the parking lot. That is now changing. “We will be tobacco free from the entrance gate on through,” Bill Barrows, president of the Field of Dreams

Come see what we have to offer at...

board of directors, told The Paper of Wabash County. “Right now it is tobacco-free from the fields to the parking lot.” The change, which had been discussed for several years, is being made for several reasons. “We’re trying to set an example for kids,” Barrows said. “From our standpoint here at the YMCA, this falls right in line with the initiatives that the YUSA has sent down over the last five years or so. “Youth development – setting good examples. Healthy living, obviously smoking, or tobacco in general, is a health issue. Social responsibility and trying to do the right thing for the community — it just feels right.” The board, Barrows said, has contemplated the change for a number of years. “It’s been on the back burner,” he said. “This year the Wabash Little League board’s representative came to the Field of Dreams board and discussed it at length. So we thought, ‘You know, maybe now is the time.” Little League Board President Bryan Dillon

informed the Little League board of directors of the change, and the YMCA board of directors also was informed of the change. New signs are being made to be placed around the complex, Barrows said. “The signs are going to portray a positive image,” he said. “It’s not going to be big signs that say ‘’No Smoking. You can’t do this, you can’t do that.’ We’re going to try to do it the right way.” He hopes that the change is in place at the start of the complex’s outdoor season, about the middle of April. Dan Gray, executive director of the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition, praised the Field of Dreams board’s decision. “They’ve been trying to become tobacco free because they see the need for better health, being an example for the children and the youth that are there,” he said. “It’s a very positive move, not only for them, but for our community. “It’s just another step toward making ourselves healthier.”

Wabash firefighter resigns post By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Travis Keating, a Wabash firefighter and paramedic, has resigned from the Wabash Fire Department after just seven months on the job. Fire Chief Bob Mullett told the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety on Wednesday, March 18, that Keating submitted his letter of resignation two weeks ago, and it is effective on March 21. Keating has been on light duty since late December, after being injured on a fire department run. He

and Mullett were to return before the board on March 18 to learn if light duty status would continue, or if he would have to be placed on a different type of leave. “He decided to resign for personal reasons,” Mullett said. “We wish him well. I think he might be heading back to Bloomington, which is from where he is originally from.” Board member Dee Byerly asked Mullett how he planned to fill the vacancy left by Keating’s resignation. The chief said the department has a pool of applicants that have already completed testing required by the department.

He plans to interview several applicants from the pool this week. Those he plans to interview, he said, already have their emergency medical technician status. “If you’re not an EMT, they just don’t stand much of a chance to get hired,” Mullett said. “So we eliminated some who aren’t EMTs. “Anyone who is at least and EMT or, of course, a paramedic, that’s who we’ll talk to.” Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m echoed Mullett, saying the wished Keating well in his future endeavors.

on March 18 to care of any last minute tasks before school begins next fall. The event made children giggle as they looked at hand germs under a black light, received balloons and books, and played with therapy dogs in between stations, starting with a required school readiness screening. “When children are done working with the teachers (after the screenings),” said O. J. N e i g h b o u r s E l e m e n t a r y Kindergarten teacher Susan Keaffaber, “then the (teachers) just bring them out and they go over right away with something that they might want to work on through the summer to make sure they’re ready for the fall then.” If a child had too much difficulty with the screening, Keaffaber said, then they would be recommended to attend the Begindergarten program through the summer before class starts in the fall. “It’s a six week program and parents can choose morning or afternoon,” she said. “They would work on the basic things, letters, numbers, shapes, and it just gives them a nice introduction to the school setting of how it is to be in a classroom.” In addition to getting children excited for school, the costfree event also provided parents like Mrs. Wahl 10 sta-

children and vendors as well. “I think it makes it more likely that the parent will do all of the different steps that need to be done,” Johnson said. “They’ll get more information because it’s all in one place and it’s been made easier for them.” “It’s also easier for the vendors, I think, like the dentist because they see all the kids at once,” Godfroy added. “And it’s easier for us because we can explain the program to them all at once when they come in today, instead of going to Metro North, Southwood Elementary, (and the other schools).”

VIEWPOINT

Use care in work zones Spring is here and with it brings things such as budding trees, blooming trees, longer daylight hours and children playing outside. It also brings with it road work season. The State of Indiana will spend more than $1.3 billion in road work this year. That means road crews will be found throughout the state improving the infrastructure that helps take commerce around Indiana. It also means something more important – that drivers must pay close attention while traveling through the construction zones. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has declared this week as Work Zone Awareness Week to mark the ceremonial start to highway construction season. In 2014, 11 people were killed and more

than 600 people were injured in highway work zone accidents. That is up two fatalities from 2013, but fortunately, down three from 2012. During the last five years, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 4,400 people were killed and another 200,000 were injured in work zone crashes. Rear-end crashes are the most common accidents, largely due to distracted driving. Drivers are the most frequent fatalities in work zone crashes, and working-age adults are those most often killed in the accidents, DOT figures show. Accidents can happen at any time and in any place. That, obviously, is why they are called accidents. But there are ways to cut down on the number of work zone acci-

dents. Those include: Staying alert and minimizing distractions. Drivers must dedicate their full attention to the roadway and avoid such things as changing the radio station, talking on the cell phone, eating and other things can take their attention away from the roadway. Pay attention to the road. This can be done by “listening” to the road signs, watching the brake lights on the vehicles ahead and watching surrounding traffic and be prepared to react. Merge into the proper lane. Merge well before the lane closes, and be aware that traffic patterns can change daily. Don’t tailgate. Follow other vehicles at a safe distance. Obey the posted speed limit. Workers may be present just

feet away. Also, be prepared to slow down further if conditions indicate the need. Change lanes safely, and do so only where pavement markings indicate, and only when traffic conditions permit. Follow the instructions of flaggers. Be patient. And above all, expect the unexpected. Workers, work vehicles and other equipment may enter the roadway without any working. Also, other vehicles may slow, stop or change lanes unexpectedly. Motorists face fines of up to $1,000 for speeding in work zones, $5,000 for driving recklessly or aggressively, and up to $10,000 and-or a prison sentence of up to eight years for injuring or killing a worker.

Guidelines for campaign letters

The 2015 Primary Election is less than two months away. Wabash, North Manchester and LaFontaine all have races. We are sure that residents in those communities have opinions on who should win each race and why. The Paper of Wabash County would like to hear from voters as to why they support one candidate or another, and invite the voters to share their opinion via a letter to the editor. However, The Paper has some very specific guidelines, which must be followed when writing a letter of support for a candi-

date. First and foremost, there are to be no attacks on a candidate or his or her character. If you disagree with a candidate on a particular issue or two, let us know that and, more importantly, why you disagree. Letters deemed to include personal attacks will not be printed. Likewise, personal attacks on a candidate’s family or place of business are off limits. Letters containing such attacks will not be printed. Also, letters containing charges of misconduct of a candidate while performing his or her duties will be considered for

publication. However, the letter writer must include proof of the allegations. Without proof, the letter will not be considered. The deadline for letters supporting candidates in the May 5 primary election is noon Thursday, April 23. No campaign letters will be printed after Wednesday, April 29. Likewise, letters received after the noon deadline will not be printed. As with all letters to the editor, the letters become the property of The Paper of Wabash County and the newspaper reserves the right to edit letters for length, content and readability.

Letters may be mailed to The Paper of Wabash County, PO Box 603, Wabash, IN 46992. They also may be hand carried to The Paper’s office, 606 N. State Road 13, Wabash, or faxed to 260-563-2863. All letters must be signed by the writer. Letters may be emailed to news@thepaperofwabash.com. All submissions, including by e-mail, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. Again, as with all letters to the editor, please try to keep your comments to 500 words or less.

letters must be signed. All submissions, including by email, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. The editor reserves the right to edit letters for length, con-

tent and readability. Also, per the editor’s judgment, personal attacks, inflammatory statements and legally objectionable material will not be printed. The editor must also limit readers to

submitting a maximum of two letters per month, regardless of whether previous letters have been published, due to space allotments in each weekly issue. Please limit all letters to 500 words or less.

Mullett is good choice Dear Editor: It was just days before our annual family Christmas Eve party and we were just informed by our jolly man in the red suit that he was put on bed rest and could not make his yearly pilgrim-

age. I was pushing the panic button at that point. I shared our dilemma with Bob Mullett and asked if he knew of anyone willing to step in and help us out. He offered to help us out, and he did a

great job despite never playing this roll before. Do we need a mayor that isn’t afraid to step up and face a challenge to better our great city? You bet. Thanks Bob Mullett. – Marilyn Karns, Wabash

Red Cross appreciates support Dear Editor: Thank you, thank you, thank you to all our donors and volunteers who helped with the labors, donated food or donated blood for our March blood drive. All you working together help to make the blood drive a success. Also, thanks to the North Manchester Church of the Brethren for

use of their facility once again. We collected a total of 77 units, which was above our goal of 72 units, so we were very thankful for each donor. We hope we can increase that number at the next blood drive on April 30. It will take place at the same location from noon to 6 p.m. We hope to see you there.

Troy Hill reached his goal of 14 gallons, and there were two new donors, Karter Benedict and Whitney Brovont. We thank each of our faithful donors that come nearly every time. On behalf of the American Red Cross, thank you. – Donna M. Renicker, North Manchester

Wabash Electric named Blue Ribbon Business By The Paper staff Wabash Electric is the Blue Ribbon Business of the Month for March 2015, members of the M e m b e r s h i p Committee of the Wabash County Chamber of C o m m e r c e announced. Wabash Electric was founded in 1960 by Jack and Naomi Porter. In 1989, the Porters sold the business to three employees: John Forrester, Rick White, and Joe Dyer. Forrester, who is company president, indicated that in order to stay on top in the business, there was a need to grow and expand. Wabash Electric has done just that by branching out to five additional locations in Warsaw, Bluffton, Elkhart, Fort Wayne, and Angola. Of those locations, Fort Wayne, Elkhart, and Warsaw have top-rated residential lighting showrooms. The Wabash location is located at 1400 S. Wabash St., just beyond “the cut.” Also incorporated into the business is I n t r a s e c t

Technologies, handling data acquisitions, computer technology, and phone setup in commercial and industrial applications. Intrasect is a subsidiary of Wabash Electric and is managed by Steve Forrester whom is President of that particular division. Since Wabash Electric is a distributor of electrical products, the services offered are mainly from the design and supply end. From the construction end, however, it can provide help in the layout of electrical power and lighting within a facility. In the residential spectrum, the firm has the expertise in recommending and the design of a home’s lighting needs. Wabash Electric can help in energy saving recommendations within a facility as well. There is an entire line of electrical products in stock for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The company does make deliveries five days a week, with emergency numbers for after-hour service. Hours are 7 a.m.

Timbercrest to host blood drive By The Paper staff

NORTH MANCHESTER — The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood during National Volunteer Month this April and make a difference in the lives of patients in need. The Red Cross salutes the hundreds of thousands of volunteers who help fulfill its lifesaving mission and encourages others to join their ranks as volunteer blood donors. Volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those in need of transfusions. Donors of all blood types – especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative – are

needed to help ensure blood is available for patients this spring. Those who are unable to give blood can support blood donations and invite others to make a lifesaving donation by creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive at redcrossblood.org/Sleeve sUp. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). In Wabash County, a blood drive will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 2, at Timbercrest Senior Living Community, 2201 East St. in North Manchester.

through 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. To date, Wabash Electric employs approximately 168 people. “We feel that our success stems from the dedication, hard work, and longevity of our employees,” Forrester said. “Our focus is on the industrial, commercial, and construction markets.” Forrester and Wabash Electric work with the Chamber to ensure quality lighting for the Gateway Billboards around Wabash. The Blue Ribbon Business Program is under the direction of

the Chamber’s membership Service Committee Committee members include Chair Beth Chaney, Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana; Membership Chair, Rachel Cruz, Wabash County REMC; Chris Lochner, Metal Source, LLC; Pravina Patel, Knights Inn; and Kaye Krom, Thermafiber, Inc.

Wabash Electric coowner Joe Dyer shows off the Blue Ribbon Business sign in front of the business, located at 1400 S. Wabash St.

A lifetime resident of Wabash, Margie moved to CA to be with her children in 2008. She was born on Jan. 21, 1926, in Wabash to Permilia (Long) and Seward Hiatt. Margie married Idell Foster, in June 1944, who preceded her in death in January 1994. She attended Chippewa High School graduating in 1944. In 1974 she became a LVN working at the Wabash County Hospital. Margie worked hard, had a can do attitude and loved animals and nature. Margie is survived by two children, Tim Foster of La Honda, Calif., and Debbie Foster of Alameda, Calif., and a grandchild, Carey Foster, of Fremont, Calif. She was also preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Ruth Ellen Martin. Funeral services will be held at later date to be determined. Burial will be in Arlington National Cemetery where she will be interred with her husband, Idell. Though coming to California to be with her children in her later years was a good decision, Margie’s heart was always in the state and county and with her friends there that she loved so much.

Indiana traffic law changes create new motor driven cycle classes, requirements By The Paper staff Changes to Indiana traffic laws apply classification requirements and operating restrictions to motor driven cycles, according to William C. Hartley, Jr., Wabash County prosecuting attorney. Effective Jan. 1, motor driven cycles are now divided into three classes including motorcycles, Class A motor driven cycles, and Class B motor driven cycles, Hartley wrote in a press release. “Citizens should become familiar with the change in laws to avoid traffic violations,” Hartley said. “Knowledge of Indiana’s motor driven cycles laws keep you legal on the street and help avoid a traffic stop while riding for pleasure or on your way to work.” Vehicles classified as Class A motor driven cycles are any bike, cycle, or scooter that are above 50 cubic centimeters, but don’t meet requirements to be a motorcycle. Class B motor driven cycles

are 50 cubic centimeters or lower and do not require insurance to operate. All motor driven cycles, regardless of class, must be registered and the driver must have some form of license or endorsed identification card to be operated on a public highway. Operators of vehicles classified as Class B face the major changes, according to the press release. Class B operators are now required to have a valid driver’s license, driver’s permit, or an unexpired State of Indiana-issued identification card with a Class B Motor Driven Cycle endorsement. Class B operators are allowed to operate their vehicle while their licenses are suspended, as long as they have a Class B Motor Driven Cycle endorsement or an unexpired Indianaissued identification card. Other Class B motor driven cycles regulations include: A driver must be

15-years-old or older. The driver must operate the motor driven cycle near the right-hand edge of the roadway unless passing another vehicle or preparing for a left turn. A Class B vehicle may not be operated at more than 35 miles per hour. Class B vehicles may not operate on an interstate highway or sidewalk. No matter the type of motor driven cycle, operators must always apply the fol-

lowing: Any driver younger than 18years-old are required to wear a helmet. Never text and drive. A driver must operate in a position astride the seat. All motor driven cycles must display a license plate. Headlamps must be illuminated at all times while operating. For more information, visit the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles at in.gov/bmv.

Board updated on demolition projects By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The former Fairplay Family Fun Center building, 92 E. Market St., is no more. B r a i n a r d Excavating tore down the building, which has been vacant and donated to Wabash Marketplace Inc., last week. It will serve as the site of a parking lot for the Rock City Lofts. The Lofts are part of the city’s Stellar Community project. “Brainard dropped it,” Wabash Street D e p a r t m e n t Superintendent Scott Richardson said. “The city’s Street Department cleared it up. We didn’t have adequate equipment to take it down safely.” The department was filling the building’s basement with milling, Building Commissioner John Stephens told the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety on Wednesday,

March 18. There is an issue that needs to be broached at the site, Stephens said, and that is what to do about a retaining wall on the north and east sides of the property. “We’ve got some options,” he said. “I’d like to keep those walls that are already in there … and maybe extend them a little higher.” A coating could then be placed over the wall to make it match the rest of the site, he said. He would like to then build a retaining wall from the existing Fairplay retaining wall to a retaining wall to the east of the Wabash County Historical Museum. A fence could then be placed on top of the retaining wall, and a guardrail could be placed on the south side of an alley located above the site. The alley is just south of the Hanna Masonic Lodge. The Fairplay

building was one of several buildings that have been, or will soon be, demolished that Stephens updated the board about. Board members wondered how often the alley is used. “I just don’t ever remember seeing a car come down there,” board member Greg Metz said. Board member Dee Byerly said it is most generally used when the Masonic lodge has a function. “If they have a fish fry or something, the carry-out is on the side there,” he said. A home at 1060 Stitt St. has been demolished. “They were filling the basement (Tuesday) night when I was there,” Stephens said, adding that work was to begin at 306 N. Carroll St. late last week. Work also was finished on an apartment complex at 213 E. Hill St. The former apartment complex was heavily damaged by fire in May 2013.

City hires firm to design inclusive playground By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A Fortville firm will develop preliminary designs for the city’s John Drook Memorial Park Inclusive Playground.

The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety approved a contract between the city and Context Landscape Architecture, Fortville, on Wednesday, March 18. The design phase will cost $29,000, with

[260] 571-6947 [260] 571-6887

up to $5,000 for additional expenses. The contract is not to exceed $34,000. The park was included in the city’s Stellar Grant Application. However, after being named a Stellar Community in August, the city later learned that none of the agencies that fund the Stellar project – the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the Indiana Department of Transportation and the Indiana Hosing and C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t Authority – provide funding for parks. Therefore, the city

must come up with funding from other sources if it wishes to pursue the park. In February, Mayor Robert Vanlandingham told The Paper of Wabash County that the city was committed to creating such a park. The design is needed, Vanlandingham said March 18, to help better get an idea on what the park could cost. Park Superintendent Todd Titus told the board that preliminary estimates included in the Stellar application noted the park could cost about $640,000. “Our next step is

once we get this,” Vanlandingham said of the design, “we can sit down and start thinking about fundraising.” Zach Wolf, of A m e r i c a n Structurepoint Inc., Indianapolis, echoed what the mayor said. A m e r i c a n Structurepoint is heading the city’s Stellar projects. “We will have a good understanding of what it will cost so we can do the fundraising,” he said. “There will be an additional fee from Context to do the final design and the documents for the construction later.” Va n l a n d i n g h a m said, “Once we get the design to where we like it, we can start the fundraising.” Titus, in an interview with The Paper in February, explained the concept of the allinclusive park. “An all-inclusive park is different from a conventional park in that there is something there for everybody,” Titus said. “If you go to a conventional playground, often times

you will see play equipment for kids with mobility issues. But often times it has a very industrial look to it, galvanized, where the other play equipment is colorful. And, the special needs equipment is over in one corner, away from the conventional play equipment. “That isn’t the way this playground will work. This playground intermixes these different types of play equipment. It’s a new way of looking at play equipment. There are things there that are unique and that they stimulate kids’ sight, sound, touch, as well as the more active-type stuff that you see in a conventional playground. “There are things that kids with different issues can enjoy, but these are things that kids who are unrestricted also can enjoy, and they can enjoy them together. There’s no segregation.” Wabash City Council member Joan Haag, who attended the Board of Works meet-

ing, asked if the city needed to seek bids for the design work. City Attorney Doug Lehman said it didn’t, since this was a service contract. “State statute allows you to hire professional services like this without going through the bidding process,” he said. The actual construction phase of the park, he added, must go through the bidding process. “The design part is professional services and you don’t have to bid that,” he said. “Sometimes, when we know we’ve got several professional groups willing to bid on a project, and we’ve worked with several of them and we’re comfortable with several of them, then we might bid out a professional service contract. “But as a general rule you’re not required to bid out a service contract for professional services like engineering, landscaping, that sort of thing.”

DAR marks organization’s 125th anniversary Article provided

NORTH MANCHESTER — The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place March 10 at the North Manchester Public Library’s Blocher Room. Joan Shripka was welcomed as a new member of DAR. Joyce Jay, Regent, opened the meeting with the DAR ritual. Joyce read the March President General’s message from Lynn Forney Young. The DAR officially formed Oct. 11, 1890, and 125 years later we are reminded of the words of Founder Eugenia Washington, who said: “We want a Society founded on service.” Chapters from coast to coast are

encouraged to participate in the DAR National Day of Service on October 11, 2015, as we unite to demonstrate the combined impact of our DAR mission and show that the DAR remains a Society founded on service. The March/April edition of AMERICAN SPIRIT magazine shared information about the four amazing Founders of our Society. Two were from the North, two were from the South, and all four were strong women who shared a love of country and a tremendous vision. Barbara Amiss shared the National Defender report on N a t i o n a l Security. Wars fought far from home have given Americans a sense of complacency

about the security of t h e i r homeland. Events of the last decade make it clear that terrorism is a very real threat on our own soil. Our forefathers believed their highest duty was the security and sovereignty of this country. We must carry on that legacy by providing government the technical tools it needs to combat the global war on terror. To do less dishonors the generations of American men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Barbara Amiss shared the report on the upcoming Honor Flight on April 22nd. This is Honor Flight Northeast Indiana’s 15th flight on honor World War II veterans. The group prepared 70 thank you

cards to be given to the veterans on their return home flight. We need to say “Thank You” to our World War II heroes before its two late. Celebrate America volunteer hours for February was 547. All members are encouraged to record their volunteer hours to help contribute to the National Celebrate American Project of 12 million hours. A State Regent’s Project pin was awarded to Joyce Joy who gave 1,800 volunteer hours at the North Manchester Center for History. Joyce does research, is a docent, curator, an archivist, and inputs records in the computer history for people researching the North Manchester area. Joyce’s outstanding time and talents reflects the objectives

of the National Society of DAR and the Indiana DAR. The chapter is collecting plastic lids to be given to the disabled veterans; who in turn have them transformed into cool bench and chairs and sell them. It takes 400 lbs. of plastic lids to make a bench. The program for March was three short DVD clips about the planning of the 125th anniversary of its founding on October 11, 2015. A short DVD introduction to the exhibition on “Eye on Elegance: Early Quilts of Maryland and Virginia.” This introduced the members to little known history of early American quilts 1790 to 1860. The last DVD was about the DAR Library, founded in 1896, and has grown into a special-

Teen Moms learn ways to teach creativity Article provided Teen Moms met on Monday, March 16th at the Bachelor Creek Church of Christ. The meal was provided by women from the United Methodist Church in North Manchester, who joined the group as guests for the evening. Artist Sarah Luginbill spoke to the moms about fostering creativity in their children. Growing up in Africa with parents on the mission field, her mother taught by example that you can do a lot with very little. She gave many examples of activities that require little or no money, including art, music, reading, games, and just using the imagination. She suggested limiting technology and being intentional about planning creative time with children. The next meeting will be on April 20. Any moms interested in joining the group can do so by calling 260-563-7275 or register at the LIFE Center in Wabash.

Practice good sportsmanship from the stands

By Bill Barrows This is a good time of year to remind ourselves as parents and grandparents that we are supposed to be good role models and mentors to those “whose eyes are upon us”. While some might think that the practice of good sportsmanship is limited to the athletes and coaches on the field, the fact is that fans play a critical role in sportsmanship. I recently got a sobering reminder as I watched a basketball game on TV. I made a mindless remark about how one of the teams was playing. My 10 year old grandson looked at me and said, “Grandpa, you can’t say that!’ It wasn’t a vulgar remark, but it wasn’t necessarily a positive one. So I thought long and hard about it and decided to look for guidance for us all. We turn to the experts at Positive Coaching Alliance to help us put together a Sportsmanship From The Stands Checklist – the things parents, grandparents, classmates, siblings, and

Coaches group tabs Cromer for All-State

all our fans in the stands - can do before the game, during the game, and after the game. Sportsmanship from the stands starts well before the game even begins, and goes beyond the game itself. Before the game, remind your child – and yourself – that practicing good sportsmanship is something important, something you together commit to, and something in which you and you’re your child can take pride, regardless of outcome of the contest. Let your child know that you too will work on your commitment to good sportsmanship and will practice it in the stands. During the game, work hard to not be “that dad” or “that mom” who loses their cool. While you think the spotlight is on the field, it’s actually on you in the stands in the eyes of your children. They see and hear it all. And during the game is your moment to demonstrate that you walk-the-walk and practice the very same good sportsmanship that you ask your kids to show. Try things like ‘no verbs cheering’ where you only clap, wave your sign, whirl your rally towel, and yell “Yay!” No verbs helps you steer clear of coaching from the stands or criticizing your child or any others

who are competing. Cheer for good plays – by both teams! When a controversial call happens, be silent – or maybe even give a ‘brush it off ’ sign to the team and fellow parents in the stands. If your child seems not to be paying attention during the game or is losing focus (picking weeds in the outfield?), resist the urge to say or do anything during the game. Save it for a conversation between you and the coach afterwards on what you can together do to help your kid stay engaged in the game. Remember that they are kids who play sports to have fun and to learn. With learning comes mistakes. And traits like grit and determination happen when kids get the chance to struggle, figure out solutions on their own, and overcome obstacles. Give them the space – and the quiet from the yelling – to figure it out themselves. After the game, resist the urge to ‘break down’ what you saw. This is sometimes very hard for me. Start with asking, not telling. “What was the most fun part of that game?” “What was your favorite play?” “What did you learn from that game?” Let the child tell you how he or she feels. But most of all, set a good example and be a good sport.

Library program to feature ‘Pete the Cat’ #

Visit to take place at Honeywell By The Paper staff “Pete the Cat” will visit the Honeywell Center in Legacy Hall at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 26. Pete has become famous for his starring role in the children’s book, “Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes” written by Eric Litwin and selfpublished by the illustrator, James Dean, in 2008. The program is being presented by

the youth services staff of the Wabash Carnegie Public Library. Children and their parents are invited to meet Pete, and each child will have the opportunity to be photographed with the costumed book character. Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras. At the conclusion of the program, each child will be invited to select a free Pete book and book bag to take home. Dean, a resident of Savannah, Ga., is the creator and illustra-

tor of the “Pete the Cat” books. In 1997 Dean left his career as an electrical engineer to pursue his childhood passion for art. He began by drawing landscapes and scenery around Athens, Ga. Then in 1999 his inspiration came from a scrawny, little black kitten that he adopted from the local animal shelter. Dean named the kitten, Pete and they spent a lot of time together. He started painting Pete doing “cat” things, like sitting on top of a Volkswagen bug

while Dean worked on the engine. He also slept in the laundry basket and occasionally put his paw in Dean’s coffee cup. Consequently, Pete the Cat, started driving VW’s, drank coffee and slept in a bed that looked very much like a laundry basket in Dean’s imaginative art work. Paintings of Pete can be seen in galleries and shops across the country. Litwin, a storyteller and musician, from Atlanta, Ga., partnered with Dean in 2008 to produce the first children’s book about Pete the Cat which sold over 7,000 copies in ten months. HarperCollins Children’s Books bought the publishing rights and the book rose to number eight on The New York Times bestseller list for picture books. Since that time, Dean and his wife, Kimberly, have collaborated on several more picture books and beginning readers about Pete the Cat.

25 DINING & ENTERTAINMENT Buddy Holly returns to the stage in rock and roll musical THE PAPER

March 25, 2015

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

On March 29, Buddy Holly returns life to take on the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theatre stage for a one-night only performance of “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story.” The rock and roll

musical tells the story of Holly, played by Todd Meredith, and his rise to fame in 1957. When Meredith first took on his roll as Holly, he said he researched the singer, songwriter, and producer as much as he could, including analyzing Holly’s guitar

playing. “I read all of his biographies and tried to look up as many YouTube videos,” Meredith said in an interview with The Paper. “There aren’t many videos of him performing live, and there are even less of his speaking voice, but whatever I found I used to try and throw into the character.” Ritchie Valens and J. P. Richardson, better known as “The Big Bopper,” will also make their appearances on stage along side Holly, performing their best-known classics such as “La Bamba” and “Chantilly Lace.” Valens, played by

# $ $"# ! " # # "

Eddie Maldonado, and the Big Bopper, played by Mike Brennan, were on tour with Holly when the trio’s plane tragically crashed following a performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Since Valens doesn’t appear until the second act, just before the trio’s final performance at Clear Lake, Maldonado said it is a challenge to portray Valens and convey his presence with Holly and The Big Bopper in a short amount of time. “(The audience) doesn’t get too much of a background of who Ritchie is, but you do get a snippet of

the kind of energy he brought to the friendship between the Bopper and Buddy,” Maldonado said. “To shed a little bit of light on their friendship, the legacy that the three left, that’s a lot of pressure for me because I have to step in really quickly, add an energy that picks up the pace and momentum, and then all of a sudden, the inevitable truth, he passes away. “So that’s a bit of a challenge, but I absolutely love it.” Brennan said he knows the audience will have a great time of music and enjoyment at Sunday’s performance. “(We’re) recreating a lot of these Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens moments from back in the ‘50s,” Brennan

said. “It’ll be a wonderful time and a great show.” The performance will begin at 7:30. Tickets are $24, $38, and $54, and are avail-

able to purchase at the Honeywell Center Box Office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by calling 260-563-1102 or online a t honeywellcenter.org.

As the club’s main fundraising event, all proceeds will go towards the club’s philanthropic projects, including Wabash’s Hanna Park and Kiwanis Inter national’s Eliminate Project, according to Judy Ward, Pancake Day chairman. “We’re glad the community came out to support us,” Ward said. “We had a good number, though of course you always welcome more to come.” Ward thanks the community for com-

ing out and the sponsors for their monetary donations to help with expenses. “We appreciate the support,” Ward said. “Hopefully, after we calculate everything, it’ll show that we did very well (in raising funds for service projects).”

In addition to allyou-can-eat pancakes, the club also held their second annual Pancake Eating Contests featuring Northfield High School and Wabash High School’s Key Club, Wabash’s Basketball boys and girls’ teams, and an open division for members of the community to join in. Deputy Ryan Baker won the open division competition, eating a total of 15 pancakes in three minutes. “I think (for future years) you just continue to build on what you already have going,” Ward said. This year, the club invited C/S Printing to make commemorative shirts for the

For every shirt purchased, $2 went towards the club’s Hanna Park Project. “I think (the Pancake Day) was awesome,” said Adam Binkerd, C/S Printing manager. “We wanted to come out here and meet the community. With Dan and Donna retiring, our sole intention was to come out here and meet the people, and we thought a good way to do that was to get involved.” Kids were welcome to screen their own shirts, Binkerd said, and the event acted as a space for the company and the club to interact with the community. The community has

It’s always something people look forward to. “It’s a great time for everyone to get together and catch up after the winter. This pancake day, the timing is perfect to come out, they talk, they chat, they eat pancakes. It’s always a lot of fun.”

Despite its popularity, April Fool's Day is not a national holiday. Popular since the 19th century, April Fool's Day is celebrated by pranksters in Canada, Australia, Brazil, the United States, and parts of Europe. References to April Fool's Day can be traced back to as early as the 1500s, but information on its origins is vague and infrequent. The beginnings of April Fool's day remain something of a mystery, but many throughout history have offered their takes on the holiday for hoaxers. One of the more popular theories suggests that April Fool's Day sprung up after the French calendar reform in 1564. France moved the start of the year from the end of March to January 1, and those who continued to celebrate the new year in March were the victims of pranks. Pranksters stuck paper fish to the backs of unwitting victims. To this day, Poisson d'Avril, or April Fish, is the term used for April Fool's Day in France. Other cultures celebrated the new year on or around April 1, including many Romans and Hindus. The timing coincided with the vernal equinox. Spring often heralded the start of the new year. Some have linked April Fool's Day to the notion of "spring fever." There may be something about changing from winter to spring to serve as the catalyst of festive, lighthearted celebrations. Today, people all around the world celebrate April Fool's Day with silly pranks and attempts to convince people to believe in things that are truly ridiculous. Unless one wants to be the victim of a prank, he or she should take things said and done on April 1 with a grain of salt. Nothing is what it seems on April Fool's Day, and that's part of the fun of it. TF154102

Make Easter eggs last Families gather on Easter to participate in many different traditions that have been passed down through time. One such tradition is coloring Easter eggs. Millions of eggs are harvested and sold this time of year to be included in Easter festivities. However, soon after egg hunts have been completed and family dinners are brought to the table, those colored eggs may be relegated to the trash. When colored with food-grade dyes, such as those manufactured and readily available around Easter, the eggs remain safe to eat. Colored eggs that are stored in a refrigerator can last up to a week if their shells remain intact. Peeled

eggs may last up to five days, says the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. Once eggs are boiled and dyed, they should be promptly put into the refrigerator to keep them fresh and edible. It's adviseable to use plastic, wood or papier-mâché eggs for Easter egg hunts, as eggs made of such

Going after grubs in your lawn

Landscaping is a rewarding hobby for many homeowners. Men and women with green thumbs often take pride in their lush lawns and gardens, feeling a sense of accomplishment as their landscapes spend spring and

summer returning to form and making yards more inviting spaces to spend relaxing summer nights. But even the most well-maintained lawns are not immune to problems that can compromise all the hard work men and

women put into their lawns. One such problem many homeowners encounter is a grub infestation. Grubs are a type of pest that can cause considerable damage to lawns, and while many homeowners have no doubt heard of grubs, they might want to learn more about these pesky pests so they know what to do should grubs ever appear in their yards. What are grubs?

" ! AU11200110

AC31300002

Grubs are insects that live in the soil, where they feed on grass and roots. Many grubs are the larva of Japanese beetles, and those beetles typically

lay their eggs in sundrenched areas of lawns in midsummer. What are signs of grub damage? Grubs not only damage lawns on their own, but they serve as food sources for local wildlife as well, attracting wildlife, which can do its own damage to lawns. Lawns can turn brown for a variety of reasons, and grubs are just one of many potential culprits behind the browning of once-luscious landscapes. Grubs feed on roots, so homeowners who suspect their lawns have fallen victim to grub infestations can pull up the areas where grass has turned brown to see if there are any grubs, which look like worms. Landscapes that have suddenly become popular among local wildlife that is digging up lawns may also be infested with grubs. Skunks and raccoons

feed on grubs, and may dig up lawns where grubs are present. Damage resulting from grub infestation is most visible from late summer to early fall. Can grub damage be prevented? Preventing grub infestation typically requires homeowners to keep watchful eyes on their lawns. Pay particular attention to areas that begin to brown, especially areas that are turning brown in spite of adequate watering. An early indicator of a grub infestation is small grubs around the roots of grass. In such instances, applying insecticide may be enough to prevent a small grub problem from spreading. Insecticides also can be an effective preventative measure for homeowners looking to avoid grub infestations. Speak with a local landscaping professional for recommendations

about which insecticide to apply and how best to apply it. What can I do about grub damage? Attempting to treat grubs in the spring may be ineffective, as grubs are large and no longer feeding in spring. So homeowners dealing with grub infestations should address the situation before they retire their green thumbs for the winter. Remove debris from grub infestations

with a rake before watering the affected areas. Watering can help some damaged roots recover, but areas that have been especially damaged may need to be reseeded. Grub infestations can be a nuisance to homeowners who put lots of time and effort into their lawns. But homeowners can take steps to treat such infestations and prevent them from returning the following summer.

Kick start spring with a finished basement (MS) - After a winter of hibernation, spring is the perfect time to consider remodeling projects that will help keep your house cool in the coming summer months and reduce energy consumption. An unfinished basement is a source of energy loss in many homes. By simply finishing the space with wall and floor coverings, you will notice a difference on your energy bills. A remodeled basement offers more than additional storage and living space. It can provide room for a growing family or a space where you can retreat for some privacy. Insulation is a key component in making

your basement look and feel comfortable, inviting and dry. For the best results, install a rigid board insulation like R O X U L ComfortBoard IS against the concrete foundation before you stud the wall. The board is mechanically fastened or adhered to the concrete foundation wall, preventing thermal bridging through the studs, offering a higher Rvalue and better thermal performance. It will ensure your basement is not a source of energy loss, but rather an inviting retreat all year round. Installation tips are available online at www.diywithroxul.co m.

The many benefits of hiring a professional landscaper The flowers are blooming, and the grass has begun to grow anew, making spring a great time for homeowners to once again turn their attention to landscaping. Those who aren't looking forward to dusting off their lawnmowers and rethreading their string trimmers may want to hire professional landscapers to tend to their lawns and gardens. A recent joint study by the National G a r d e n i n g A s s o c i at i o n , Residential Lawn and Landscape Services

and the Value of Landscaping found that homeowners spend roughly $45 billion per year on professional lawn and landscape services, as nearly 30 percent of all households across the United States use at least one type of lawn or landscape service. The rising use of lawn care services is indicative of homeowners' appreciation of the convenience and craftsmanship professional services can provide. While the impact professional landscapers can have on a proper-

ty's aesthetic appeal is considerable, homeowners also benefit from working with professional landscapers in various other ways. · Time savings: One of the biggest benefits of leaving lawn care to the professionals is the amount of time it will save for the average homeowner. Lawns generally need to be mowed once per week during the spring and summer seasons and, depending on the size of the property, that can take an hour or more. Add the time it

takes to clean up clippings, mulch landscaping beds and edge the property, and homeowners can expect to devote a significant chunk of their weekends to caring for their lawns. Lawn services employ a few workers who make fast work of the job, leaving homeowners time to enjoy their weekends however they see fit. · Reduced risk for injury: Maintaining a landscape is hard work, and those unaccustomed to this type of activity may find themselves winded or at risk of

injury. Improper use of lawn equipment also is a safety hazard. Leaving the work to professionals can help homeowners avoid strained backs, lacerations, pulled muscles, sunburns, and any other dangers that can result when tackling landscaping projects. · Financial savings: On the surface, hiring a landscaping service may seem like a costly venture. However, after crunching some numbers, many homeowners realize that doing the work themselves may cost

more in the long run than hiring a professional landscaping service. Homeowners who decide to go it alone must purchase expensive equipment, and those lawn tools will require routine maintenance, which costs additional money. Inexperienced homeowners may incur extra fees to "fix" mistakes that occur during the learning process. Each year, new seed, fertilizer, mulch, pesticides, and other supplies also must be purchased. But professional lawn care services typically charge a set fee per month, and that fee covers the maintenance of both your property and the equipment needed to keep that property looking great. · Know-how: Many professional landscapers know how to address lawn care issues that may arise throughout the year. They will know how to deal with dry patches of lawn or poorly draining areas, and they also can make recommendations on plants

that will thrive under certain conditions. · One-stop shopping: Certain landscaping services provide many different options for prospective customers. Basic lawn cuts may be one package, but there also may be services for seasonal seeding, weeding, leaf cleanup, and winterizing. · Consistent maint e n a n c e : Homeowners who frequently travel or spend much of their summers away from home often find that lawn care companies are a wise investment. Established weekly schedules ensure the landscape always will look its best whether homeowners are home or out of town. Spring is a great time for homeowners to decide if hiring professional landscaping services is in their best interests. The time and money saved, as well as impact professional landscapers can have on a property, makes landscaping services a great investment for many homeowners.

Frances Slocum DAR plans Genealogy Workshop Article provided NORTH MANCHESTER — Wabash County’s Frances Slocum DAR Chapter will hold a second spring genealogy workshop on Saturday, April 25, from 9:15-11:30 a.m. at the North Manchester Public Library, Blocher Room, 405 N. Market St.. Members of the Frances Slocum Chapter and other Indiana DAR members will be there to talk about DAR and its resources that are available for your family history research.

unteer service organization dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism. If you know or think it’s possible that you or someone in your family might have a patriot, we will help you in researching y o u r ancestors.
