MHS grad killed in Wyoming accident By Joseph Slacian & Eric Christiansen news@thepaperofwabash.com

A North Manchester resident was killed Tuesday, May 17, in a one-vehicle accident about 13 miles south of Laramie, Wyo. The resident, Matthew FahsBrown, was a passenger in a 2004 Suzuki XL-7 SUV driven by Tyler Peters of Richmond, Ky. According to the Wyoming Highway Patrol, Peters’ vehicle was traveling south of U.S. 287 in light snow with wet and icy road conditions. While crossing over a bridge deck, Peters lost control of the vehicle, left the highway and rolled several times. Fahs-Brown, 20, was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected during the crash. He was taken to a Laramie hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Peters and another passenger in the vehicle were wearing their seat belts. They were taken to the same Laramie hospital. Peters was treated and released while the second passenger, Crea Knight, 20, Richmond, Ky., was hospitalized. Police said speed was too fast for highway conditions. Driver fatigue also is being investigated (continued on page 17)

Indy 500 riding mechanic’s niece is Wabash resident Martin finished 1st, 3rd in 1912, 1913 Indy 500s By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Harry Martin had a promising career at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He was the riding mechanic in 1912 for Joe Dawson, whose National Motor Vehicle Company entry passed Ralph DePalma on the 198th lap of the race to go on an become the second winner in race history. The following year, Martin

was the riding mechanic for Charlie Metz, who piloted the Ideal Motor Car Company Stutz entry to a third place finish. Martin had dreams of entering the 1914 500 as driver. But tragically, those dreams

were cut short in June 1913, when he was killed and his riding mechanic, Frank Agan, was critically injured in a testing accident at the famed twoand-one-half mile speedway. Martin was born in Fulton (continued on page 6)

Sighs were audible from the Wabash City Schools Board members on Monday, May 16, as they announced five faculty resignations and the elimination of eighth grade science, two administrative positions and the school resource officer. In total, the board announced a total of 13 budget cut changes to reduce spending by $390,000, which included Wabash-Miami Area Program reconfiguration, changes to charges for Vernon Manor children and eliminating two aides at the high school. Prior to Monday’s decision, the board’s budget for 2016 was $9,917,760 while target revenue was only $9,600,000. Therefore, $317,760 in cuts was needed. “Part of the issue is that we needed to save $317,000 during this school year, this calendar year,” Matt Stone, WCS business manager, told the board. “So when we say $390,000, that only saves us $130,000 through the end of (2016) and that leaves us ($187,760) short which will be absorbed by our cash balance, (continued on page 5)

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County Commissioners and the City of Wabash are joining forces to provide $75,000 to the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau this year. At April’s Wabash County Council meeting, CVB Director Christine Flohr asked for and received permission to seek an additional appropriation from the commissioners for this year.

Mayor Scott Long, at the May 16 Commissioners meeting, announced the city would join the county in providing $37,500 each from their respective County Economic Development Income Tax (CEDIT) funds. “We’ll look to see how that funding could possibly be split for 2017 when I submit the budget for the full calendar year for the expansion of services plan,” Flohr told The Paper of Wabash County. The additional funding will be used for marketing. The key to building strong, thriving communities requires a multi-faceted approach, she said. “Council takes it seri-

ously,” Flohr said. “Commissioners take it seriously. The city and towns all take it seriously. You develop those strong, thriving communities by addressing current and future infrastructure needs, evaluating educational standards, attracting new business, supporting existing business, workforce development and, of course, growing our population. “But the majority of those community development components become irrelevant if we aren’t marketing ourselves. If people don’t know what there is here, how will they find us if they don’t know?” She said the efforts of Visit Wabash County are more than just “buying an ad somewhere.” “We’re connecting outside visitors to the county,” Flohr said. “But we’re also connecting residents to the quality of life programs that are right here in our own back yard. “What’s great is the commissioners and the council and the city recognize that tourism is a

heavy hitter in selling brilliancy of place initiatives.” The CVB does more marketing and advertising, she noted. “We’re the organization that brings marketing and advertising, but we’re also the organization that brings grant writing to the table and work hard to make sure that alongside stakeholders to make sure the projects come to fruition,” she said. “We pour thousands of hours into supporting programs like the place base investment fund. “Recipients like The Town of North M a n c h e s t e r , Manchester Main Street, Wabash Marketplace and the City of Wabash have all benefited from those place base investment funds. We have played an active role – tourism has played an active role and Wabash County has played an active role in securing those programs and helping support – whether it be through financial support or just being a player at the table to help make

sure the program would be up for consideration.” The tourism board takes an active role throughout Wabash County, she said. “We’re not just an open sign,” Flohr said. “We don’t just flip an open sign and wait for the phone to ring. We insert ourselves for that movement of growth.” In addition, she said, more than 20 new businesses have opened in Wabash County over the last three years. “That has been done because we are changing the climate for small businesses to thrive because we are driving people to these communities,” Flohr said. “People see that. People just don’t start opening businesses that are going to close in a year. They see that attraction growth. That’s not only the way we’re marketing, but we’re encouraging collaborative marketing. “But we can’t be effective in those areas if we don’t have the funds to market.”

Local high schools inspire students with send off By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Two Wabash County high schools congratulated its graduating senior class with a special send off: a trip to back to elementary school. Seniors from Southwood JuniorSenior High School and Manchester Junior-Senior High School stopped by their corresponding elementary schools, S o u t h w o o d Elementary and M a n c h e s t e r Elementary, to share high fives, hugs and congratulations with students just beginning their academic careers. “We wanted the seniors to inspire our elementary students,” Southwood Principal Tim Drake

told The Paper of Wabash County. “It also allowed many seniors to show their appreciation to the staff at Southwood Elementary who helped them get a good start toward graduation.” MHS Principal Nancy Alspaugh said that the Senior Walk celebrated the end of school and the accomplishments of all students. The walk was also one final memory the students shared with Alspaugh before she retires in June. “We liked the idea of a Senior Walk to motivate the younger students to see where they could go in school,” she explained, “and, for the seniors, they had a chance to remember where they came from and how far they have come.”

Southwood seniors, which donned graduating caps and gowns for the walk, were also excited to be a positive role model to

the younger students, according to Drake. “Seeing the elementary students give high-fives to the seniors was a touch-

ing moment,” he said. “It reminded out seniors of how far they have come. We hoped that it would let the elemen-

Deadline set for 2017 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Article provided

The application for the 2017 Wabash County Lilly E n d o w m e n t C o m m u n i t y Scholarship will be due to the C o m m u n i t y Foundation by Sept. 26, 2016. The 2017 recipient, which will be named in December 2016, will be Wabash County’s 36th Lilly Scholar. Previous Lilly E n d o w m e n t Community Scholars were announced in the spring of the applicant’s senior year of high school. This new timeline, which affects the program for all Indiana community foundations, comes as a result of a 2015 statewide evaluation of the program. The earlier selection date is designed to give the Lilly Scholars more time to make their college or university decision. The Community Foundation of Wabash County will conduct an orientation with county high school seniors and their families in early August. Applications will become available at that time, which can be found online at www.cfwabash.org under the Scholarships tab. Established in 1998 to draw more talent-

ed Indiana students to college, the Lilly Endowment aims to raise the level of educational attainment in the state and eliminate the barrier of financial need and college debt for recipients. Recipients receive a four-year, full tuition scholarship to the Indiana institution of higher learning of his or her choice. Applicants are required to be a resident of Wabash County for the entirety of their junior and

senior years of high school and also hold a grade point average equivalent to 8.0 or better on a 12.0 scale. Candidates are ranked by academic

achievement, financial need, family history or lack of history in high education, initiative, work experience, leadership, and volunteerism.

That’s what I think is going to happen this week. “We’re going to keep that feeling and that connectivity moving forward.” W a b a s h Marketplace Inc.

They love the people here.” In addition to working this week in the area, she said officials from Deluxe also plan to be at the First Friday celebration on June 3 to meet with residents.

businesses. It all started with an idea from Matt Haynes, owner of Filament Tattoo. He ordered several items online from Silverton stores, and word soon spread and others began doing the same thing. An alpaca sweater and several skeins of yarn were among the items ordered, according to Christine Flohr, executive director of Visit Wabash County. A film crew was in both communities earlier this year and filmed brief videos that were part of the

Small Business Revolution contest. “On Monday, Wednesday and Friday they serve the needy the same meal. A lot of the merchants who didn’t necessarily see anything online that they wanted to purchase sent contributions together with personal notes. “ Flohr helped gather the checks and boxed them up to be sent to Silverton last week. There were several other things in the package, she said. Mayor Scott Long wrote “a nice letter to the Silverton mayor

and included a lapel pin and City of Wabash coffee mug,” Flohr said. Visit Wabash County sent a small city flag and some other items, while the Wabash County Historical Museum sent, among other things, it’s City of Wabash 150th birthday t-shirt. Flohr said she also wrote a letter to her counterpart in Silverton. “It’s just kind of an eclectic mix,” Flohr said. “It’s a nice little representation from our community.”

City Schools begin staff cuts ... continued from the front page which we started the year with $197,000.” Stone told the board he does believe there will be other savings made along the way. “We talked about eliminating some over time and some other things,” he explained. “I don’t think we’ll only have $10,000 in our cash balance at the end of the year, but we’re not going to have $100,000 either. We’re not going to be any where we need to be when the year ends. “But we’ll get through the year and we’re going to look at next year with a budget of about $9.5 million where as two years ago, our budget was $10.9 million. So we’ll have cut $1.4 million in two years.” Cuts would not have been necessary if the board’s Operating Tax referendum had passed on Tuesday, May 3. The referendum would have implemented a tax levy of 28 cents per $100 assessed valuation to assist the school’s finances. A difference of 62 voters determined the referendum’s fate as 1,220 constituents voted “yes” and 1,282 voted “no.” “When we had put this, we ran into this referendum,” Jason Callahan, WCS superintendent, said, “we talked about how there $318,000 gap in the difference in revenue and expenditures. “In addition to that, the hope was to generate a little bit more

than that so that we could compensate our teachers consistently and competitively for seven years to come, and that was the role of the referendum to offset those deficits in the budget and, again, to be able to have some consistency.” At the end of the day, he continued, the board would have to eliminate eight positions. “It’s going to be tough but because Mr. (Matt) Stone is willing to take on some more responsibilities and some other people are willing to take on some responsibilities, a big portion of this is going to be found in administration cuts,” Callahan said. “So the biggest cut in eliminating the traditional, stand-alone athletic director position. We will absorb that with Mr. Stone’s position and we are also going to eliminate our chief academic officer position that we shared with MSD and unfortunately we also have to eliminate our school resource officer program. “All three of those were not directly instructional positions and so that’s where we, after the retirements, that’s where we wanted to focus on.” The board also voted to eliminate the eighth grade middle school science program. “In this Early College (program), … if kids are prepared or kids are ready to take (higher level)

classes, we’re not going to say, ‘Oh you’re just an eighth grader. You have to stay in eighth grade math or pre-algebra,’” Callahan said. “If they’re ready for Algebra then they’re ready for Algebra. “We want to stretch our kids. We want to challenge our kids and in doing so we’ve got flexibility to eliminate that eighth grade middle school science position … partially through innovation, partially through necessity.” Earlier in the meeting, the board approved a 1:1 lease with Crossroads Bank for $500,000 and the purchase of an activity bus and a special needs bus using the CIESC Cooperative Bid Purchasing through the state of Indiana. “I do want to make a point and … as we went through this referendum process, I hope we’ve been able to educate the public a little bit about school funding and the complexity of school funding,” Callahan said. “Mr. (Justin) Vail put together a great video on the different buckets that go into school funding and really explained how those buckets can’t mesh. “So you can’t say ‘Oh, just cut out those computers’ or ‘one less bus and that way we can come up with more general fund money.’ That’s not how it works. “We went ahead and left these steps or

these lease into transportation in tonight’s budget,” he continued, “so we could contrast that and help people to understand that these are different buckets. These are different ways of raising revenue for the school system and where we have been short has been in that general fund revenue.” The referendum, he continued, was supposed to create consistency in the general fund revenue, offset the deficit of $317,760 and compensate teachers fairly. Although it did not pass on the first round, Callahan said he feels “very confident” that the board will regroup, review and try the referendum again in 350 days, or next May. “I can’t say it enough. We adapt and overcome and we know that change is constant,” Callahan said.

life. Today, his great-

niece, Kie Ann Kirk, lives in Wabash. Because little is known about the men who served as riding mechanics in the early years of the 500, Kirk’s knowledge about her greatuncle’s racing career is limited. She has obtained some background information on him from her own research. She also gained some information about her great uncle, though more about him as a person and not a racer, from listening to other great-uncles talk about their brother’s exploits. She said he was a hero among the family and a favorite of Peru residents. “There were a bunch of boys (in the family),” Kirk said, sitting in the dining room of her Wabash home. “One of his brothers said he could remember when Harry came to town. Uncle Buddy was the runt of the family; he was smaller than all the other boys. “He said his brother would come home and they would go for a walk and he would

put (Buddy) up on his shoulders and walk downtown and everyone would be greeting Harry. It made Uncle Buddy feel good. He said, ‘I loved it when my brother came to town because I was famous, too.’” Buddy, whose given name was Clarence, and another brother, Robert, moved to Wabash in their later years. Kirk said her great uncles never explained how Harry became interested in racing. “All of the Martin family are engineers,” she said. “They were always working on motors when they first came out, so I don’t know if that’s how they got into that line. Their grandfather made old Studebaker wagons. “But they never did say how he got into the line of racing.” While his career at Indianapolis was just two years, Martin made his mark at the track almost instantly. In 1912, he and Dawson led just two laps of the race, setting a record for leading the least number of laps – two – and winning the race. That record stood until the 2011 race when Dan Wheldon took the lead for the first time on the last lap, coming off the fourth when leader J.R. Hildebrand hit the outside wall. Because Ray Harroun, winner of the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911, drove without a riding mechanic, Martin became the first riding mechanic to win the race. But perhaps Martin’s most daring and memorable event came in the 1913 race.

The Stutz that Merz was driving caught fire late in the race. While Merz was still driving on the track, Martin climbed onto the hood and tried to beat the flames out with his coat. According to IMS reports, Martin also untied the engine straps so the pit crew to could open the hood to help extinguish the flames. It was that courageous move, according to some reports, that landed Martin the job as a driver for Stutz. Just weeks after the 1913 race, Martin returned to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a test. Among those watching the test and the up-and-coming Martin were Stutz president Harry C. Stutz, and vice president R.E. Maypole. According to various reports, Martin began quickly increasing speed, so much so that after four laps, Stutz signaled him to slow down. He began doing that but in the fourth turn of the fifth lap, the car’s tire blew out, sending the Stutz crashing into the outside wall. The car rolled several times, eventually pinning both Martin and Agan under the vehicle when it stopped. Martin was killed instantly, becoming the eighth person to die at the Speedway. Agan was critically injured, but recovered and passed away in 1961. “They blamed him as the cause of the accident,” Kirk said, talking about the research she has done. “They flagged him in. He slowed down to come in and all of a sudden he

surged off and picked up speed and crashed into the wall. “Now they’re surmising that he had a stuck accelerator.” Today, Kirk is still a fan of the Indianapolis 500, though she admits she has never attended the race itself. “I’ve been to time trials,” she said. “I’ve been to the Hall of Fame and Museum.” Martin’s sister, Kirk’s great-aunt, donated most of Martin’s racing memorabilia to the museum in the 1960s, save a photo that Kirk has in her collection. “They donated all the stuff to the museum,” she said. “Everything they had, several boxes.” In somewhat of an ironic twist, Kirk spent nearly 25 years working at Daywalt Pharmacy, owned by John Daywalt, brother of the 1953 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year Jimmy Daywalt. “We used to have an office up stairs with a big picture of Jimmy on the wall,” she said. “He hung in my office everyday. I go in and there was Jimmy Daywalt, and I thought, what a connection with John and me.” She said the two often talked about their relatives and the 500. Kirk believes that her great-uncle would watch Sunday’s 100th running of the Indy 500 with astonishment. “What if he came back and saw these cars?” she said. “What would he think of these cars going 200 miles an hour now.” Martin is buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in Peru.

Bringing the Revolution to Life By Amanda Brinkman, Chief Brand and

Communications Officer, Deluxe Corporation

Now the hard work begins.

For months, my colleagues and I at Deluxe Corporation

anticipated the day we would announce the winner of the Small Business Revolution – Main Street contest, but we never imagined the outpouring of emotion that would erupt in the Eagles Theatre on May 12. I said it at the time – that was truly the best work day ever. Watching the Wabash mini-documentary, seeing the incredible vote count and hearing from your residents just how much you love the community and how instinctively you all came together to rally the town, well, we knew that we made the right choice in making you a finalist. Yet I still have never experienced the jubilation shown when the announcement was made. It was pure, it was heartfelt and it was genuine and we loved being part of it. As a team, we know the bar has been raised for all of us at Deluxe because we want to make you proud. Being the first winner of this contest, Wabash will establish the baseline of what we are able to do in future efforts. Our ability to not only make a difference with the businesses

Timbercrest Senior Living Community would like to honor its residents who are Manchester University Alumni!

we engage, but to highlight and promote your great community throughout the summer and into the fall and winter months, will be the real force behind this campaign. Beginning May 23, our film crew will be in town capturing the stories of Main Street. I will be there working with the businesses, as will some of my colleagues, along with our partner Robert Herjavec. The process is important – in winning this contest, Wabash will be featured in an eight-part documentary series that will air this fall on smallbusinessrevolution.org. The first and last episodes will highlight the community as a whole and how important small businesses are to not only Wabash, but to all small towns. Yours is now the story of Small Town America. The other six episodes will feature selected businesses in order to provide a snapshot into what it takes to be an entrepreneur in America. We will show how marketing services can augment these businesses, and how upgrades and business planning will benefit each one. Further, Deluxe is working with civic leaders to identify a number of ways to invest in physical improvements intended to polish a brighter shine on your already amazing downtown. If you have seen our Small Business Revolution stories in the past, you know we put great emphasis on the “story,” finding compelling content that people want to engage with over and over. Selecting a handful of businesses in your great community to reflect the diversity of businesses you would find in any downtown has been hard. We’d love to feature every business in town, but in shooting a limited documen(,(*

tary series, that just isn’t possible. Our pledge to Wabash is to use our marketing talents to assist as many businesses as possible. While we can’t build everyone a website or redo every logo or create 50 marketing plans, we can provide you with time and best practices so that more businesses can benefit from this great opportunity. We will work with community leaders to establish small business marketing seminars over the course of the next few months. Our team will also meet with businesses beyond those selected for the documentary series to offer advice and direction on best practices for small business marketing. In promoting our contest the last few months and especially the last few weeks, Wabash has been front and center in the news across the country. To date, more than 160 media stories have been shared about Wabash reaching more than 100 million people. We have aired national commercials about Wabash and Robert Herjavec has shared his congratulations on social media. When the documentary series airs later this year, we will continue to promote Wabash and your business community across the country. By bringing the Small Business Revolution to your community, Deluxe is investing in Wabash. And you have invested in yourselves, in the way you came together and in the spirit you showed in winning our contest. I speak for everyone at Deluxe in saying that we are thrilled to be in Wabash this summer, gaining a better understanding of your community and seeking ways to provide tangible benefits for the businesses that make up your great downtown.

No one knows for sure how long Swan has driven the school bus as the records only go back as far as the consolidation of the county schools. Swan drove for Lagro before consolidation, a couple of years at Southwood, and the rest of the time at Northfield - a period of over 40 years. He loved the kids and they loved him. May 19, the day of his last drive, all of the windows and the bus were decorated. Swan ended his route in Lagro by buying ice cream cones for those who lived in Lagro and were still on his bus.

Timbercrest residents go on Honor Flight By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — Four Timbercrest Senior Living Community residents were on Northeast Indiana’s Honor Flight No.19 to Washington, D.C., on April 27. Two Timbercrest staff members also were among those on the trip. The four residents included veterans Tim Hoffman, Lindy Lybarger, Glen Summers and Frank Bever. Mary Beth Gast, Director of Housing Services, went as the guardian for Summers and Director of Maintenance Steve Searles went as the guardian for Tim Hoffman.

The day began with a very early morning as residents departed Timbercrest by 5 a.m. to head to the Fort Wayne International Airport where they were greeted with a full breakfast along with around 80 other veterans and their guardians. Five hundred miles later the American Airlines flight landed in D.C. The group visited the National World War II Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Women’s War Memorial, the Arlington National Cemetery, and were present during the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.

He had the X-factor that some athletes do and some don’t, but it’s just that gut instinct it takes to run a race hard. “It’s ultimately what got him to the crosscountry state meet as a

junior and the success he did have.” MHS Principal Nancy Alspaugh said she enjoyed watching Fahs-Brown run. “Matthew was a critical part when he was a student for the success of our cross-country team,” she said. “I always enjoyed watching Matthew run and talking with him about running. He really helped get our crosscountry program back in the mix. “It’s so tragic that he was so young and for this to happen.”

wearing a seat belt, which Biggs believes could have prevented his fatal injuries. Fecher was transported by ambulance to a Kosciusko County hospital with minor injuries. Fecher was wearing a seat belt, which Biggs believes prevented Fecher from having severe injuries. This crash is still under investigation. At this time neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to this crash. Biggs was assisted at the crash scene by Master Trooper Joe Swisher, Trooper Todd Trottier, officers from the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, and Wabash County EMS.

Sheriff’s Department vehicle damaged in Peru police chase By The Paper staff PERU – A police chase in Miami County on Monday, May 16, traveled across the Wabash County line and resulted in a collision with an unoccupied Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department vehicle. At approximately 1:50 p.m., the Miami County Central Dispatch received a call of a 17-year-old suicidal male who had left a residence in the Oakdale area of Peru. The male was possibly en route to Seven Pillars along State Road 124 and was also possibly in possession of a handgun, according to a Peru Police Department press release.

According to the release: PPD Officer Zach Adkins and Det. Capt. Matt Feller proceeded to the area of Wallace Avenue and SR 124 in attempt to locate the vehicle, which was described as a black four-door Toyota. At this location, Adkins spotted the vehicle matching the description as it was traveling west on SR 124. Adkins attempted to catch up to the vehicle, which was traveling in excess of 90 mph. As the officer caught up to the vehicle, the driver failed to yield and Adkins called in a pursuit of the vehicle. As they neared SR 124 and CR 300 West in Wabash County, the Indiana State Police deployed Stop Sticks

in an effort to deflate the tires of the Toyota. After striking the Stop Sticks, the Toyota continued eastbound, nearly striking a police car. Stop Sticks were again set out at SR 124 and SR 13 intersection. In an attempt to avoid the Stop Sticks, the driver swerved left and lost control of the vehicle, striking an unoccupied Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department vehicle. The Indiana State Police investigated the accident. Attempts to receive an accident report from Sgt. Tony Slocum, the ISP Peru Post’s Public Information Officer, were unsuccessful. After removing the

subject from his car, officers found the male to be sobbing. A 4 inch T-handle knife was located on the driver’s seat of the vehicle. No gun was located. The male, who was the sole occupant in the car, was not injured in the crash. No officers were hurt during the pursuit as well. After the male was transported to Dukes Memorial Hospital, he was then admitted into Cornerstone Mental Health Facility in Grant County for further treatment. The male was charged with resisting law enforcement with a vehicle and reckless driving. Additional charges are pending.

10 and Saturday June 11. Be sure and sign up on the LaFontaine Festival web page. S O M E R S E T BOARD is moving closer to finalizing the plans for the new roofs on the fire station and community building. It is leaning toward a 28 gauge metal roof attached with aluminum alloy screws. The fire station will have granite blue color to go with the grey siding. The color of the Community Building is still being discussed with a tan or dark brown color as the likely choices. Mike Vandermark attended the last board meeting to discuss the choices. He suggested adding ice breakers to prevent big chunks of ice and snow from sliding off the roof. The board needs financial support for the improvement, since all home and business owners realize an insurance savings from the fire station. The board needs to get support from those who live in the Frances Slocum Estates and Mount Vernon as well as the members of the SRDC. While it has not asked for any donations three individuals have contributed $400 toward the cost which will be a little more than $14,000. The board has discussed fundraising projects as well as door to door appeals. S O M E R S E T LIONS CLUB wants to thank all who attended the Pork Chop dinner.

Heartland Career Center recognizes certified senior class By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Heartland Career Center honored more than 100 seniors Wednesday night, May 18, at its 51st Anniversary of the C e r t i f i c a t e Presentation and Career Excellence Recognition. Students in the 2016 graduating class earned certificates in professions including automotive collision repair, automotive service technology, construction technology, cosmetology, criminal justice, culinary arts and hospitality management, diesel service technology, early childhood education, electronics and computer technology, entrepreneurship and new ventures, health science education, interactive media, servers and security, precision machining, and welding technology. Keynote speaker Sue Ellspermann, former lieutenant governor and the new Ivy Tech Community College president, told students she is proud of what the region has accom-

plished with the Heartland Career Center. “It is producing the kind of results we need, and career and technical education has never been more important than it is right now,” she said. “As the students in this room know, you can gain a certificate in something you enjoy. I’m sure most of you who completed this have said, ‘This is something that I want to do.’” Ellspermann experienced the same feeling, she explained in her speech, after joining a Career and Technical Education (CTE) class in the 1970s. “I signed up for drafting. I really liked it, but interestingly enough I was the only girl in the class,” she said. “I started asking the guys in the class, ‘What are you going to do when you graduate?’ Most of them said they were going to be engineers. “I didn’t even know what an engineer was. So I started thinking about that and talking to people and talking to my dad … he thankfully he said that’s a really

Photo by Emma Rausch great idea. “But look how that CTE course that I took in high school led me to pursue an engineering degree and onto a master’s degree, a PhD, an elected official, owned my own business and now as the community college president-elect,” Ellspermann continued. “So I say, why not? If all of us have that opportunity, and particularly that may speak to the young ladies in the room, please don’t think that you have any limitations. Whatever

that degree is, whether it’s industrial maintenance or aeronautics or being a teacher or a nurse, all these things are great. “I really want to encourage you to not short-sight yourself. That ladder is meant for every young person in this room to start with that first certification and move all the way up to that title of president someday.” During her speech, Ellspermann also recounted her time as the Indiana’s lieutenant governor.

During her time as vice chair of the Indiana Career Counsel, Ellsperman worked with the needs of growing workforce and “those needs were very substantial,” she said. “We know for instance that 65 percent of the jobs that will be created going forward are going to require some kind of secondary education or certificate,” she explained. “And by the way, you all tonight have that done, because you have your first certificate. “The folks who are here are now in our goal.” The Indiana Career Counsel set a goal for (continued on page 26)

“So there really are some challenges here and you know it as well as I do. We must meet the needs of our workforce. If companies are going to remain, thrive and grow in Indiana, of course we have to find a way to do that, and in parallel, we want to raise the income for Hoosiers and their families.”

As he participated in 4H, Janzin had many more valuable experiences as he explored over 25 different projects during his first year in regular 4-H. “That many projects was a lot, but it gave me the opportunity to explore what my real interests were and to learn about things that I didn’t like.” As a sophomore, Janzin attended the 4-H Robotics Science Workshop at Purdue. “I kind of thought I wanted to get into robotics as a field of study. When I explored the Purdue robotics labs through participation at 4-H science workshops, my future plans were really solidified. I knew I wanted to study robotics and that I wanted to attend Purdue.”

Liz was a member of the 2015 4-H Queen’s court. While on the court, she participated in a 4-H Color Me Green Run as well swine wrestling at the fair. While the events were fun and exciting, Liz recalled a time as a first year 4-H member when someone speaking into a microphone spooked her dairy cow, and she ended up being dragged around the show ring. “4-H has taught me that when things don’t go as you planned, you have to learn to explore new ways of doing things. It’s great to explore new routes and options to succeed. This year, through Northfield’s internship program, I explored what it’s like to work in the Extension Office where the aspect that I most enjoyed was teaching.” In the future Liz plans to explore methods to succeed as a classroom teacher; hopefully in Wabash County.

In addition to the friendships made at the county fair, Jake has also made connections in his 4-H Club work. “Through the Wabash County 4-H Tractor Maintenance Club, I have learned to network with adults involved with Wabash County agriculture. I have met people like Troy Guyer (Tractor Maintenance Club Leader) at Till Harvest in Wabash. The tractor maintenance club leaders have helped me explore how different farm machinery works. Through the club, I have also met some good friends in other counties by participating in the area tractor driving contest.” Jake believes that skills practiced in 4-H will help him to explore new opportunities in the future. As he makes plans to farm for a living, Jake knows skills gained in 4-H will allow him to be challenged to explore problems and look at solutions from different angles.

announced her resignation to pursue the community college’s presidency. On Wednesday afternoon, Ivy Tech Community College trustees voted 11-0 to appoint Ellspermann starting July 1. Ellspermann, who is the school’s first female president, replaced Thomas J. Snyder, who announced his retirement in September 2015 after serving as president in 2007. Following the announcement, Gov. Mike Pence said, “The historic selection of Sue Ellspermann as the next president of Ivy Tech Community College is a win for education in Indiana and for the more than 170,000 students who will benefit from her energetic and visionary leadership.” The school’s Board of Trustees made an “outstanding” selection for its next president, according to Eric Holcomb, Indiana’s current lieutenant gov-

ernor. “Sue’s successful career in the private sector, in academia, and in state government has made her uniquely qualified to lead Ivy Tech at this very time,” Holcomb said. “As lieutenant governor, Sue led on education and workforce development issues and understands the vital role Ivy Tech plays in preparing Hoosiers for the jobs of the 21st century. “I look forward to our continued work together serving the citizens of Indiana on this most important front.” To commemorate the announcement, Ellspermann spoke at Wabash County’s Heartland Career Center’s Certificate Presentation and Career Excellence Recognition on Wednesday. “What an honor it is to be here. There is nowhere else that I’d rather be today after that big announcement

Aunt Kathy’s Kitchen welcomes community Restaurant to serve as new home for Wabash Donut Shoppe donuts By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Aunt Kathy’s Kitchen is open and welcoming in the Wabash County community to try its

menu items. The restaurant, located at 1146 N. Cass St. in the Central Shoppers Mart, opened April 13 as the next chapter in owners Kathy and Lee Tackett’s lives. “I worked at the school for 38 years in the cafeteria at Northfield and so I retired last May from there,” Mrs. Tackett

said, “and I just thought (the restaurant) might be a nice, new venture for us.” “She’s the boss,” Tackett added with a smile. On the menu, customers will find deli items, pies and a variety of salads including potato salad, macaroni salad and ham salad. From the to-go lunches to pies, each

item on the kitchen’s menu is homemade by Mrs. Tackett, her husband and the kitchen’s staff, with the exception of the p r e v i o u s - Wa b a s h Donut Shoppe donuts, which the couple took over selling after the donut shop closed earlier this year. “We just want a homey atmosphere for people to come and make everything homemade from scratch,” she said. “And we try to keep it fresh daily if we can,” Tackett added. The restaurant will no longer be serving in-house lunches, but will offer carry-out lunches. The change will allow the kitchen to get into baking, according to Mrs. Tackett. “The reason we stopped doing lunches is we want to get into more baking,” she said. “I make homemade bistro and the Texas roadhouse rolls and those big cinnamon rolls.

Kathy and Lee Tackett pose for a photo behind the donut display case in their restaurant, Aunt Kathy’s Kitchen. The couple opened the restaurant in April and now serves homemade to-go lunches, pies and Wabash Donut Shoppe donuts. Photo by Emma Rausch “So we want to get into baking cakes, not decorating them, but making German Chocolate cakes and carrot cakes and be able to stock all of our shelves when people come in.” As for pies, Mrs. Tackett said she’ll make any request, but asks customers

to call ahead of time for orders. “We’ll make any kind of pie they want,” she said. “We’ll try it if we’ve never made it before.” “If people want a special pie and they want it on a certain date, we’d like to get people ordering pies

a little bit ahead of time,” Tackett said. Aunt Kathy’s Kitchen is open Tuesday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 6 a.m. to noon. For more information, visit auntkathyskitchen.com or call 260-274-4189.

Local March of Dimes raises $12,000 for cause March and Crossroads Bank teams each raised more than $1,000 for

By The Paper staff Seventy-five walkers gathered at Paradise Spring Historical Park on Saturday, May 7, to walk for babies with the March of Dimes. From the park to Vernon Manor, attendees walked 3.6 miles and raised more than $12,000 for the cause. The Emergency Management Agency staff, the Sheriff ’s Department and Wabash Police Department were present to provide safety as the walkers traveled the route. The Wabash County Committee for the March of Dimes provided snacks, lunch, face painting opportunities and provided rides for walkers who couldn’t walk the entire route. Gina Smith, this year’s March of Dimes ambassador, shared her story of Xavier, who was born prematurely and spent seven days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). P a t Vanlandingham, committee chair, said there was one very special moment during the day when a “mysterious” woman stopped by to donate and share her story. “She was born at home 65 years ago prematurely and she s u r v i v e d , ” Vanlandingham said. “They took her to Marion General Hospital where she was put in a storage room in the basement because she was considered contaminated because of being born at home. She said the nurses would take her out daily and walk down the hall with her. “Now thanks to the work of the March of Dimes we have NICUs.”

Approximately 75 walkers gathered at Paradise Spring Historic Park to Walk for Babies with the March of Dimes. Photo provided Mayor Scott Long also attended the event to read a proclamation designating the day as March of Dimes day. The Bash Boutique also supported the event by donating 10 percent of its purchases on Saturday to the March of Dimes.

After a welcoming address by Laura Rager, North Manchester Chamber Executive Director, and invocation by Pastor Brent Wedding, Apostolic Chapel, Peru, graduates and their sponsoring employers enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by Peabody Retirement Community Food Service team under the direction of Melanie Yochum. Jason Callahan, Superintendent Wabash City Schools, spoke to the group about the qualities needed to be a successful leader. Jason spoke about the social and economic impact of lifelong learning, the leaders who inspire him, their

qualities, and what it means to be a leader. Leadership graduates then gave presentations on their two major service projects which included the LaFontaine Playground which was inspired by a boy and his lemonade stand efforts, the subsequent fundriaising including the school Penny Wars, and the successful removal of the outdated playground equipment and the plans to continue work to finish the project over the summer. The other project was an effort to assist multiple nonprofits in modernizing and easing service delivery systems and creating efficiencies by helping them relocate the programs into one service center in North Manchester through the North Manchester Fellowship of Churches. From creating computerized registering systems, to assisting with technical communica-

tions and building acquisition issues, this group will continue working to a successful completion of this process post-leadership graduation, as well. The graduates had over 1150 hours of community service this past year. Callahan, Alayne Cook, Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, and Kimberly Pinkerton, Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, then presented graduate certificates and a commemorative stone, symbolizing the need to keep working with others to create sparks for community good, to twenty three participants who completed the 9month course that focused on leadership skill development, networking with current business leaders and learning more about Wabash County. The graduates include: Bonnie

Corn, City Council; Lisa Medich and Megan Castle, Beacon Credit Union; Mr. Kris Shoemaker, Crossroads Bank; Angel Colwell, First Farmers Bank & Trust; Donyell Adkins, First Merchants Bank; Melissa Green, Jenny Hill, Zach Prater and Brian Zolman, Ford Meter Box Company, Inc.; Jason Turner, F r o n t i e r Communications; Nikki Worl, M a n p o w e r, I n c . ; Donna Buckler, Mutual Bank; Sylvia McConnell, North Central Cooperative;

Kenneth Brown and Bill Meyer, Republic Services; Rebecca Wedding, Salvation Army Family Store; Kara Fulmer, Kayla Sprayue, and Michelle Struble, The H o n e y w e l l Foundation, Inc.; Dave Schoeff, Town of North Manchester; Laura Beutler, Wabash Carnegie Public Library; and Ramona Johnson, W a b a s h CountyYMCA.

Two Wabash men are facing drug-related charges after the vehicle in which they were riding was stopped for having just one headlight. The driver, Trevor Miller, 20, Wabash, was preliminarily charged with unlawful possession of 60 syringes, possession of a narcotic drug, possession of Methamphetamine,

O.W.I with a controlled substance, possession of Paraphernalia, and resisting law enforcement. His passenger, Evan M. Schlemmer, 20, was preliminarily charged with possession of a hypodermic needle. According to a probably cause affidavit filed by Wabash Police Officer Philip Mickelson at approximately 11:41 p.m.

Thursday, May 12, Miller’s vehicle was stopped because it had just one headlight. Schlemmer was a front seat passenger, so Mickelson requested a K9 search because of a history of drug use. According to the affidavit, after the K9 confirmed a positive alert for drug possession, Miller was searched. A weight scale, a small plastic

TREVOR MILLER bag that contained a hard, tan colored substance was found on his person and was
