Remembering Karsyn Muncie paramedic enters guilty plea

Classmates dedicate tree in honor of late friend

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The life of Karsyn Bratch was remembered Friday morning during a tree planting ceremony at Northfield Jr. – Sr. High School. A sugar maple tree was dedicated in memory of Karsyn, who lost her eight-year battle against cancer on Oct. 25. She was 12. “We have planted this sugar maple tree in her honor,” Shawnna Meyer, the Northfield Student Council sponsor, told those gathered in a circle around the tree. “It will sit here between Northfield and Sharp Creek so both schools can admire this memorial, since both schools played a huge role in Karsyn’s life.” The tree also will be in view of the Northfield tennis court where her sister, Jordan, can see it when playing tennis for the Norse, Meyer continued. “We chose a sugar maple tree because of its golden color,” Meyer continued. “When in full bloom, this tree is representative of the gold color that symbolizes pediatric cancer. The sugar maple is known for looking beautiful, bright and lively, just like Karsyn did all here life, even through every-

did in all of our hearts.” During the brief ceremony, several friends spoke about Karsyn and how she inspired (continued on page 2)

A former Heartland Ambulance Service paramedic plead guilty to the sexual battery of a Vernon Manor Children’s Home resident in a plea agreement reached earlier this month. The Wabash Police Department arrested Kyle Meyers, 32, Muncie, last year after receiving and investigating a report that a mute and physically challenged female had been sexually assaulted by a male paramedic, which was allegedly Meyers, in an ambulance while traveling back from a doctor’s appointment in Carmel, according to a 2014 story published in The Paper of Wabash County. The victim reported the crime on Friday Sept. 26. Following the report, she was taken to the Fort Wayne Sexual Assault Treatment Center for examination by a forensic nurse. Meyers was initially charged with class three felony rape, class five felony battery and

class six felony sexual battery. He only plead guilty to felony sexual battery. Represented by attorneys Kristina Lynn and Jordan Tandy, the former EMT’s trial was scheduled for Monday Nov. 16, however the plea agreement was reached Nov. 6. The plea is being taken under advisement. Sentencing has been set for Jan. 4 at 9 a.m.

Kindergarteners advise on ‘how to cook a turkey’ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

What does it take to make a Thanksgiving turkey? Kami Ross’s kindergarten students at Metro North Elementary School are all knowledgeable in the art of cooking turkeys for Thanksgiving Day suppers. However, it seems none of them agree on the exact steps to take. From needing moms or dads, Aunt Tee Tee or Uncle Timmy, each student has his or her own way to make a turkey taste the best. Ross provided The Paper of Wabash County with her students’ detailed recipes to share with the community. “Turkey Sans Germs” – Briggs Baker You will need: —Friend’s dad —Your dad

—Your mom —Grandpa and his ax Directions: My friend’s dad hunts the turkey and then my grandpa cuts it open with his ax. We have to get all of the germs out. My mom and dad then put the turkey in a pan. It has to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes at 90 degrees. My whole family comes over to eat the turkey. My mom makes corn to go with the turkey. It is good! “Regular, But Not Alive Turkey” – Sammy Bolin You will need: —Walmart —Mom —Family to enjoy it with (It’s ok if you don’t remember everyone) Directions: My mom buys the turkey at Walmart. It looks like regular turkey but it’s not alive. We bring the turkey home. I

At school, the class also decorated Indian/turkey vests and “disguised” turkeys so they don’t get eaten for Thanksgiving. Photo by Emma Rausch take the paper off of the turkey. My mom puts the turkey in the oven at 500 degrees for about 60 minutes, I think. My mom and

dad watch the time to make sure it looks the way it’s supposed to look. My sister, brother, grandma,

grandpa, Aunt Tee Tee, Aunt Jess, Aunt Jenny and my mom and dad all eat the turkey. I (continued on page 3)

Remembering Karsyn Janelle continued. “Karsyn was a true blessing, and I can say on behalf of me and my classmates, Karsyn will never be forgotten,” she said. “She’ll always have a big place in our hearts.” Another classmate, Jace Randel, also spoke. Jace suffers from aplastic anemia, and like Karsyn, is a patient at the Riley Hospital for Children. “As I began writing this, I knew that no amount of words could express how much I loved Karsyn,” he said. “When I first met Karsyn, I had no idea of the pain her and

them with her positive attitude. “Karsyn was one of my best friends,” an emotional Kiersten Stout told the crowd. “I’ll never forget the memories we had together. I love her so much.” Janelle Ross said, “Karsyn was a true inspiration. Even though she was sick she made a difference. “Karsyn made a difference in many ways,” she continued. “One of the ways was by raising money for other sick children.” Karsyn also made sure everyone near to her always had a smile on her face,

her family were going through.” He said he first met the family at church. “It was one of the days she had her ‘sassy pants’ on,” Jace said, quickly adding, “but then again, when didn’t she?” He said when they had appointments at Riley together, the two would play together with Karsyn’s stuffed animals. “She would always tell me how to play with her stuffed animals, and when I say how to play, she would always tell me what to do,” Jace continued, noting that Karsyn’s favorite was a stuffed animal named Spot. “When I looked at Karsyn, I don’t think I saw what everyone else saw,” he said.

“She was just beautiful. All I could see was her beautiful eyes and her amazing heart.” There’s a bell at Riley that patients who have finished their treatments and who have beaten cancer get to ring. “Even though she didn’t get to ring it here,” Jace said, “She’s ringing a thousand bells in heaven right now. “I love you to the moon and back, not tag backs.” Aaron McClary, youth minister at Bachelor Creek Church of Christ, talked about his experience with Karsyn and her family. “To have the opportunity to speak about a young lady who impacted so many lives is an incredible honor,” he said.

He spoke about a time when he and one of his daughters visited Karsyn at Riley. “I was amazed at (Karsyn’s mother Linette Burchett’s) strength,” he said. “She sat there and smiled and talked about Karsyn’s treatment with us. She was an incredible host in the midst of very difficult circumstances.” Karsyn, he continued, showed his daughter her “new hair” while they sat and played with a stuffed animal she received as a gift. “She changed my life in that moment,” McClary said. “She did that for so many of you, and that’s why you’re here today.” He said the tree should be a reminder that everyone can make a difference in

the world “by the way that we love people, by the way we smile, and in that way we can honor Karsyn.” Mrs. Burchett, cut a gold ribbon, which was placed in the tree, symbolizing pediatric cancer. “Karsyn was loved by so many,” she told The Paper of Wabash County following the ceremony. “It’s just something special.” Karsyn’s stepfather, Bill Burchett, thanked officials and students at Northfield and Sharp Creek for all they’ve done. “With what these schools have come together, these students and the faculty

here, the way they’ve always treated Karsyn is remarkable,” he said. “We‘ve been so happy and blessed to have a school system that’s treated Karsyn and our family so well. “With this tree being planted, it’s something that we’re always going to remember her by anytime we drive by here for any sporting event. We have an eight-year-old here, and he’s got a long way to come up through the school system, so we know this tree’s going to be passed by many times. We greatly appreciate it.”

Police investigate possible meth lab By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com An investigation is ongoing into a possible methamphetamine lab in a Wabash apartment, according to the Wabash Police Department’s Facebook page. Sgt. Matt Benson wrote Tuesday, Nov. 17, that at approximately 11:24 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, the department received a tip from a citizen about the possible meth manufacturing. Police received a search warrant for the site, 388 W. Market St., Apt. 1. According to the Facebook report: The search did reveal evidence consistent with manufacturing methamphetamine. Wabash Drug

Task Force was called to the scene to assist in the investigation. There were several adults and children in the home, and officials from the Division of Family and Children were called to the scene to care for the children. One person, Jason L. Dutton, 31, Marion, was arrested on an unrelated Kosciusko County writ of attachment. Benson wrote that the investigation is ongoing and paperwork has been forwarded to the Wabash County Prosecutor’s Office for consideration of criminal charges on everyone involved. The Indiana State P o l i c e Methamphetamine disposal team assisted at the scene.

Do not forget.) —Steak —Grandma Directions: Timmy, my uncle, gets a turkey from the woods. He kills it with a sword or gun. He has to peel off the feathers. Sometimes he cuts off the head and tail.

Yum! “A l t e r n a t i v e Turkey” – Zoey Dillard You need: —Not turkey —Chicken —Mom Directions: We go to the farm to get a turkey. I don’t think we will have a turkey this year.

Second owner ordered to provide timeline By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety praised one Wabash homeowner, while another was ordered to appear Dec. 2 with detailed plans on what he plans on doing to save his home. Justin Brooks, who owns 453 E. Main St., received praise for his efforts to improve the looks of the home, which was subject to an unsafe building hearing earlier this year. Brooks, who purchased the site at auction, has done extensive work at the home, and was in the final stages of resid-

ing the home, City B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens told the board. Brooks was finishing the siding on the home’s porch, and the roof also has been repaired, Stephens said. In addition, several loads of trash were removed and properly disposed from the home’s inside. “I didn’t even want to count,” Brooks told the board when Stephens asked how many bags of trash were removed. Meanwhile, Alan Jachinski was ordered by the board to submit a plan on what he hopes to do with the home at 411 N. Wabash St. “To my knowledge, there hasn’t been a lot of changes,” Stephens told the board. “I walked around earlier this

week and it was in the same condition it’s been in.” Jachinski told the board that he has met with a contractor about replacing the roof and, once complete, he believes most of the home’s problems will be resolved. He said that a composite shingle would be placed on the roof, which he said is roughly 3,000 square feet in size. “The biggest problem is the turret,” he said. “The house has a turret that has shingles all the way around it. They have to get special equipment just to get up there, much less do the work. “The roof is 99 percent of the problem. The small amount of soffit that has to be done will be done when they finish that project. We have to be able to tell the condition underneath, but it looks pretty good inside.” Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m asked if there was a timeline to finish the work. “Depending on the weather,” Jachinski said, “we’ll just keep continuing until we get it done. When I say done, I mean getting it up to code and aesthetically pleasing.” Board members asked Stephens if he had a chance to inspect the building’s interior. Stephens said he has tried, but has not yet been able to. Jachinski said it was a matter of timing that that has prevented Stephens from inspecting the interior. “He’s got to inspect

the property,” board member Greg Metz said. “When he requests to see the property, and he doesn’t go in, it ends up coming before us. If he had been given the opportunity to go in to see the property, and he had been given (the roofing) information, we wouldn’t be here right now.” This is the second time that Jachinski was ordered to appear before the board in regards to the property. In early 2014 the city received a complaint from a postman who said he was unable to deliver mail at the site because the porch was unsafe. The board ordered him to replace the porch. “We don’t have a clue if the house in inhabitable or not,” Metz said. “It may be, but we don’t know that. And until he can go in and take a look at it, we have to come in here just to find out the roof is being fixed. We shouldn’t have to come in here to find out the roof is being fixed.” Va n l a n d i n g h a m said the structure is a beautiful home in a great location, and hopes it can be saved. He suggested Jachinski come up with the timeline, “because the neighbors are getting tired of looking at this, and we’re getting tired of hearing about this.” The timeline, he added, will help the next Board of Works and Public Safety keep track of the work.

Roann is the only whole town in Indiana to be listed on the National Historic Register. Photo provided for Dec. 19, 10 A.M. to 12 noon. Children in the community are invited to come to the Roann Public Library to talk with Santa about those special Christmas wishes. Come enjoy the decorations and maybe find a good book while you wait. Each child will receive a treat from the Roann Festival Committee. THE PERRY DORITE Home Extension Club held its annual Thanksgiving meeting at the Ebenezer Church. President, Tami Keaffaber, opened the meeting by leading the group in reciting the Pledge to the American Flag. Julie Walker led the group in prayer. Twelve members and eight husbands

enjoyed a delicious turkey and ham supper with all the trimmings. Following the meal there was a short meeting. Tami reported on the activities that had been going on in the past and in the future.

In this photo my dad (Claude E. Wade) is on the far left, his brother Ben is fifth from the left in the second row, and Charlie is on the far right, front row. My dad graduated from Akron High School, but did return to Urbana to operate a bakery in the hotel for a short time. His brothers, however, remained long enough to marry local girls.” The hotel he is talking about was the Amber Hotel which was located where Pam’s Cafe is at the present time.

Duke gets land in Northeast Business Park By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Duke Energy will receive a five-acre tract of land in the northwest portion of the city’s Northeast Business Complex. In exchange, the power company agreed to create a substation at the site by Dec. 31, 2022. In addition, Duke will pay $1 for the land. The city’s Board of Public Works and Safety approved the t r a n s a c t i o n Wednesday, Nov. 18. The action, according to City Attorney Doug Lehman, stems from the utility company’s move to install a five-mile

long transmission line that was initially to stretch from the Wabash Chippewa Substation to a new junction on County Road 100 East. Those plans, which drew the ire of some area farmers earlier this year, were to affect approximately 1,000 acres of farmland. The transmission line would create a “loop,” or alternate route, to reroute power in case a problem would arise with the original power line. “They have a path that they want to follow, and that path has their transmission line going across the northwest corner of the busi-

ness complex,” Lehman said. The company would need an easement of about 50 feet on either side of the transmission line, and they had the site in question assessed at about $26,000. “We talked with them and, one the one hand it cuts across in a way that somewhat minimizes the impact on the business park because it is just the far northwest corner,” Lehman continued. “But every now and then as we try to encourage businesses to locating here in Wabash, one of the issues is how much electrical power is available.

% %

“There have been a couple of prospects that might have needed more power than is currently available. On the other hand, Duke Energy is not going to provide more power than what is needed.” As an incentive to create the substation, the city offered the five acres in the complex. “A bunch of that five acres is over which their transmission runs,” he said. “The transmission line runs over a little bit more that’s not within that five acres, but we offered them five acres and have indicated that we would waive that

$26,000 payment for the easement if they built a substation within the next seven years.” If the substation isn’t built, the firm would have until Jan. 31, 2023, to pay the city the $26,000. “If, however, we’ve got someone interested in the business park but they need more power, we can say that we’ve got this agreement already in place that Duke Energy will build this substation that would provide sufficient power for you. They’ve got land that’s already been given to them for that purpose.” By having the substation in the busi-

ness park, they would be able to meet any future needs at the site. Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County has reviewed the agreement, which is with the Indiana Municipal Power Agency, Lehman noted. D u k e Communications Manager Angeline Protogere said of the land acquisition, “The land is for a possible electrical substation that might be built one day if needed to support the electrical needs of the industrial park as it

grows. Industrial growth is good for the county, and we want to be prepared to meet the higher demand for electricity.” The path for the transmission line is unchanged, she said, adding the line was “needed for improving the reliability of the county’s power delivery system.” Negotiations for the land for the transmission line is still ongoing, Protogere said. A local farmer familiar with the situation said most of the landowners along the route have reached agreement with the power company.

McLaughlin said she excited to be in the position and with “the direction that Marketplace is going.” “I think we are moving fast in a good

direction,” she said. “We want the momentum to keep going, and we want the merchants to know we are just as excited as they are.”

County’s Christmas Spirit program receives 850 knit hats By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

I want to hear it! Call Emma Rausch 260-563-8326

The Wabash County Christmas Spirit (WCCS) program received 850 knit hats last week from six women who spent all year handcrafting them. Wabash resident June Long said the group started knitting the first of the year. “We started in September and we did scarves (which were donated to last year’s program),” Long said. “My grandson, Matt (Dillon), was down there every day last year. “This year, I didn’t want to do scarves

again because I’d rather do hats and so we all decided we were going to do hats.” The women took the hats to Long’s grandson on Tuesday, Nov. 17, so he could deliver the donations to the WCCS committee. “I think these women are very generous and we are thrilled to have the knit hats,” wrote committee chair Jennifer McConahay told The Paper of Wabash County. “I can’t imagine how much time they have spent making them. “(The hats are) a great way to keep kids a little warmer this winter.”

Having More Retirement Accounts Is Not the Same As

Having More Money When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees. Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals. *Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

The D Shoppe celebrates one last holiday Owners retire to spend more time with family By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The D Shoppe, located at the corner of Wabash and Market Streets, is closing its doors after 31 years of business this New Year’s Eve, but not before spending one more holiday season in Wabash. “We’ve been going on (31) years and that’s a long time and I feel good about that,” said Mary DeLauter, owner. “These wonderful friendships that we made are just worth everything to us. Established on Oct. 4, 1984 by DeLauter and her husband, Gene, the original “dream was to have a children’s shop,” DeLauter said. “I always worked in clothing stores from the time I got out of high school,” she continued. “So I always thought at one time I’d have a children’s shop.” DeLauter also worked in a flower

store and said The D Shoppe “could have gone that way.” “I don’t know why (it became a gift store),” she said. “At the time, it just seemed to me like there were more gifts out there than what I was seeing and there was. “You had to work for them. You had to dig a little deeper, but there was and it’s what I’ve always kind of prided myself because I was always able to have things you didn’t see in every other store. I think that’s what people liked about us, that they could come in here and find things they would never see any place else. And that was fun.” When DeLauter started the Shoppe, her children “were grown and it was a time when I could invest myself into something that I wanted to do,” she said. “I always said that this was my last baby and it has been a wonderful thing.” In early 2015, DeLauter decided “it was time” to let the

business go. “I just woke up one morning and thought, ‘If I’m going to have any retirement time, I need to get out of here,’” DeLauter told The Paper of Wabash County in an interview. “Because Gene and I are both pushing 80 and so I’m just thinking I can’t work all my life and we still want to do a little traveling and I have a little great-grand baby that I want to see more of. “I know I raised all my granddaughters and I could raise (g reat-g randdaughter) Gigi here too, but I guess I just think it’s time.” The business went up for sale in June and sold within a week, according to DeLauter. “It sold the first week we put our little sign in the window,” she said. “I put a sign in there saying, ‘Business or building for sale.’ Well, the building sold right off that first week and so I had no chance to change my mind. “From then on, I can’t keep one foot in front of the other because there’s so

The couple decided to sell the business and building earlier this year so they can retire and spend more time with family. Photo by Emma Rausch much to do. I don’t know. I just go forward now.” Although she didn’t have second thoughts about retiring, DeLauter said she will miss the store and her customers. “We’ll miss (the store) terribly,” she said. “It’s really hard when some of my out of town people come in and I know that I’m not going to see them in the years to come

probably.” Although the business will change its name, it will always be The D Shoppe to DeLauter. “It will change and rightly so, but it will always be The D Shoppe to me and maybe to a few other people, who knows,” she continued. “But it has to pass on. It’s just a lovely old building that we wanted to see in good hands and I

feel like it’s going to people who are going to appreciate the building and take care of it.” DeLauter said she believes it is not her place to disclose who purchased the shop or what it will become, but said that it sell to “local people.” “I don’t know (if the community will miss the store),” DeLauter said. “I know some people will because

they shopped here and people of Wabash have been wonderful to me and I feel bad that I’m leaving them without a nice gift store. I think it will be missed, yes, because this is where they came if they needed a nice gift, a wedding gift or anything like that and I feel bad about that, but I guess even I can’t go on forever.”

“The military has always been near and dear to my heart,” Rogers said. “I felt that mixing up our normal activities would help not only our residents to be able to reminisce about Christmas’ past but also if they had loved ones who were gone during the holidays.”

She has a passion for the underlying ethical dimensions of listening. “The first duty of love and respect is to

LAFONTAINE – A LaFontaine woman was arrested Nov. 12 on a drug-related matter, according to the Wabash Police Department’s Facebook page.. The woman, Chelsea N. Kinzie, 22, Wabash, was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia following an investigation that began Nov. 11, Sgt. Matt Benson, Wabash Police Department’s Public Information Officer, announced on Tuesday, Nov. 17. According to

Benson’s posting on Facebook: The Wabash Drug Task Force received a tip that narcotics were being delivered to a home in LaFontaine by the United States Postal Service. The investigation led police to the U.S. Postal Service in Marion. On Nov. 12, the suspect package was delivered to Kinzie in LaFontaine. Police were waiting and detained Kinzie. They then received a search warrant and two pounds of marijuana was allegedly seized. Benson said the investigation is ongoing and more arrests

CHELSEA N. KINZIE may follow. Involved in the investigation were the Wabash Drug Task Force, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department the LaFontaine Town Marshal and the Indiana State police.

The city is current-

ly accepting resume for the position of Wabash Parks Superintendent. Todd Titus has announced his retirement effective at the first of the year “and these will be big shoes to fill,” Long said Titus. Long and two members of the Park Board, will review resume’s received and interview candidates. “I will then select who will lead the Wabash Parks Department into the future,” Long said. Each department head will choose their assistant chief(s), or foreman of their department with Long’s approval. “I look forward to working with each of these individuals and will ensure that we put the needs of our citizens first,” he said.

Stirring it up … by Angie Baer November brings many things with it, cooler temperatures, family gatherings and a focus on being thankful. As I reflect on this past year, I realize I have so much to be thankful for. As many of you already know, I grew up around the Salamonie Reservoir with my parents and three older brothers. All three of my brothers were expert hunters at a very young age. A skill they learned by watching my Dad. I remember as a child they were always dragging home a deer, rabbits, squirrels, just to name a few of their unfortunate varmints. My Grandma lived a short distance down the road from us. I don’t think a day ever passed that my brothers and I weren’t running barefooted down an old gravel road to visit her. Her love for us was deep and we knew it. We just felt it. I had everything I ever really wanted, my parents, my brothers and a cookie baking Grandma beside me. Every kid should be so lucky. I find cooking to be therapeutic and I think Grandma felt the same way. She was a fantastic cook and she made sure she passed her passion for cooking onto me. This recipe for Lima Bean Casserole is my Grandma’s signature dish. She created this casserole years ago. It is still served every year front and center on our Thanksgiving table. Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving. Lima Bean Casserole 1 lb. frozen green lima beans (choose a large lima bean) 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 1 med-size onion, diced 2 tablespoons butter (use to grease baking dish) 1 green pepper, sliced into rings 1 red sweet pepper, sliced into rings 1/2 teaspoon salt Pepper to taste 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch Cook lima beans in a small amount of water. Remove from heat, drain. Reserve the cooking liquid. Place lima beans into buttered 9-inch-by-13inch baking dish. Mix sour cream, brown sugar and cornstarch together. Add onion. Pour over lima beans. Place red and green pepper ring over the top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35-40 minutes, until beans are tender and the cream mixture is thickened. If more liquid is needed, use some of the reserved liquid.

FORT WAYNE – Manchester University will offer the nation’s first dedicated master’s degree in pharmacogenomics. The intensive oneyear program is designed to propel graduates into well-paying jobs in the emerging field of pharmacogenomics (PGx), a key component of personalized medicine. PGx relates an individual’s genes (DNA) to their response to medications. PGx empowers physicians and other clinicians to identify correct medications and to optimize an individual’s drug therapy early on. PGx can replace the trial-and-error approach, greatly decreasing medication costs and side effects. Phar macogenomics can be utilized across therapeutic areas, such as cardiology and psychiatry. PGx may well have its most dramatic effect on cancer treatment, where approximately 75 percent of patients don’t respond to the initial prescribed medication. “The Master of Science i n Pharmacogenomics Pro gram is designed for individuals with an undergraduate science degree or a professional degree in health care or

health sciences,” said David Kisor, Pharm.D., PGx program director at MU. “Manchester’s program offers individuals a pathway to this transformative field of medicine.” Graduates can expect career opportunities in biological technology, genetic testing laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry. The degree can also be a valuable head start for individuals seeking further training in research (Ph.D.) or health-care professions, such as medicine or pharmacy. Additionally, the degree will allow current health-care providers to focus on PGx in their respective fields, such as medicine, pharmacy and genetic counseling. “This is a unique opportunity for individuals looking for a specialized field of health care that is poised for exciting growth and world-changing potential,” said Raylene Rospond, Pharm.D., MU Vice President for I n s t i t u t i o n a l Effectiveness and Dean of the College of Pharmacy, Natural and Health Sciences. “Manchester is proud to be on the cutting edge as a national leader in pharmacogenomics education.” With classes beginning in the summer term, enrollment will be limited in order to maxi-

mize personal attention and collaboration. Information about the program and how to enroll can be found at http://ww2.manchester.edu/home/pharmacogenomics. “It is our mission at Manchester University to produce graduates who improve the human condition,” said President Dave McFadden. “The world needs people with this specialized training, and Manchester’s continued strength in the sciences positions us well to provide it.” The PGx program is a natural extension of Manchester’s strong record of preparing students for careers in health and science. The Manchester University Fort Wayne campus, where the pharmacogenomics program will be based, is home to MU’s Doctor of Pharmacy program. The facility at 10627 Diebold Road has stateof-the-art laboratories and equipment, built in 2012 as the result of a $35 million gift from the Lilly Endowment Inc. “As we look to the future, we will develop additional offerings that allow Manchester students in undergraduate and professional programs – and health-care professionals in practice – to benefit from our expertise in the area of PGx,” Rospond said.

Middle East policy expert shares “alternatives to war” with MU community By Shaun Tilghman news@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — Phyllis Bennis, director of the New Inter nationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies, to M a n c h e s t e r University students and staff last week that Indiana is in “a moment of crisis.” Bennis made the remarks while on campus to discuss ISIS and alternatives to war, “Indiana has been much in the news the last day or two,” Bennis said. “It is a strange thing when things happen in the midst of your planning – you were planning to be in Indiana on a week that didn’t have other things that needed to be done, until suddenly it’s a

moment of crisis.” Bennis, who is known as an author, policy analyst, and activist, was invited to the local MU campus to present a program called, “Understanding ISIS and Alternatives to War.” But, the “moment of crisis” she mentioned was in regards to Governor Mike Pence’s decision to suspend the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the state of Indiana. “Right now, the issue of the Syrian refugees is very central to everything that we stand for,” Bennis explained. “The reason I was hearing a lot about Indiana as I traveled here yesterday, is that Governor Pence had made the decision to exclude the Syrian family, with their four-yearold son, that struggled

through interrogation for three years in a Jordanian refugee camp to prove that they are not terrorists, because every Syrian refugee is assumed to be a terrorist by U.S. laws and U.S. practice until they can somehow prove otherwise. “This family managed to prove otherwise, and they were accepted for settlement in Indianapolis, and they were almost on the plane when the refugee agency here in Indiana received a letter signed by Adrienne Shields, director of the FSSA (Family & Social S e r v i c e s Administration) Division of Family Resources. The letter said that Governor Pence issued a statement Monday citing his first responsibility as governor as to

ensure the security of all Hoosiers. “The governor directed all state agencies to suspend

the resettlement of additional Syrian refugees in the state of Indiana pending assurances. ‘We

would ask that you notify your national resettlement agency that the placement for the Syrian family,

scheduled to arrive this Thursday, Nov. 19th, and all subsequent Syrian arrivals, (continued on page 30)

This is a shameful day for those who voted for your governor.” Syrian refugees were not just relevant due to the actions of Gov. Pence however, as the displacement of millions of Syrians has been an escalating problem throughout the global war on terror. “We are facing intersecting crises around the world right now,” Bennis

said. “What’s going on is a global war on terror, as George Bush once called it. But, the O b a m a Administration, as many of you know, decided it didn’t like that term and announced that they prefer the term O v e r s e a s C o n t i n g e n c y Operations, which sounds very neutral and somehow manages to take away the reality of war from what these policies are based on. There is still a global war on terror being waged, led by the U.S., along with some rather strange bedfellows –

France, Russia, Iran, and Syria are all at war – but there are terrorist forces that are acting as well. “I don’t know that war against terrorism has ever worked. We have been at war against terrorism for almost 15 years now, and terrorism has done pretty well. Actually, terrorism has come through those 15 years of war quite well, but people have not – terrorism survives war, people do not. The global war on terror has failed to end terrorism – if that is what it was designed to do. Unfortunately, I’m afraid we are now going to see more war, and simultaneously, more failure in the effort to stop terrorism.” Bennis went on to describe how, after the recent attacks in Paris, the message that “this changes everything” was conveyed once again, just as it had been following the September 11th tragedy. “These were huge crimes, but they did not change everything for everyone in the world,” she (continued on page 35)

SPORTS Norse season comes to an end THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

November 25, 2015

By The Paper staff The best season in Northfield Norsemen football history came to an end Friday night in Class A semi-state action. No.1 ranked Lafayette Central Catholic defeated No.4 ranked Northfield, 456, to bring the Norse season to an end, one game shy of the state finals. Jackson Anthrop was a one-man wrecking team for Central Catholic, scoring five touchdowns for the Knights. The first of Anthrop’s scores came on a controversial play. Central Catholic received two penalties on one play – one a dead ball penalty and the other a live ball penalty – to

seemingly stop the drive. However the Knights received a fifth down play in which Anthrop ran five yards for the touchdown with 3:50 left in the first quarter. He scored again less than two minutes later, picking off a Drake Richter pass and returning it 50 yards for the TD, giving Central Catholic a 12-0 lead. The Knights made it 14-0 with 23 seconds left in the quarter, scoring on a safety after Northfield’s Richter was flagged for intentional grounding while still in his own end zone. Fifteen seconds later, Anthrop scored on an eight-yard run and Sam Milazzo added the extra point

to give Central Catholic a 21-0 lead. Anthrop scored the Knights’ lone TD of the second uarter, frm five yards out, and again in the third quarter on a 37- yard run. Brandon Yeagy also scored a touchdown for the Knights, while Milazzo capped off Central Catholic’s scoring with a 26-yard field goal. Northfield’s lone touchdown came with 2:46 left in the contest. Richter connected with Dylan Brown on a 20-yard pass play. Northfield moved the ball well during the night, picking up 14 first downs. The team had 148 yards rushing and 81 yards through the air for a total of 229 total yards.

Jarred Short led the Norse in rushing, picking up 60 yards on 10 carries. Jensen Frieden gained 30 yards, while Matt Coe had 27. Richter was eight of 17 for 81 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Brown was the leading receiver, catching two passes for 29 years. Short also caught two passes for 21 yards, while Jackson Beery grabbed two passes for 15 yards. Technically, the Norse end the year with an 11-2 mark, however, because of an administrative error, the team was forced to forfeit four games because of an ineligible player. That left the official record at 7-6.

The Norsemen, fresh off an exciting win the previous Friday night, 21-13 over Adams Central on the road to win the first Football Regional Championship in school history, never quit, and were driving when the final gun sounded. To me, the heart of a champion is one that refuses to quit. As was witnessed the past several Friday nights, the Norse handled adversity as the seasoned veterans that they have become. Case in point, two weeks ago on their home field, they were down by eight points with four minutes left on the clock and found a way to come back and not only score a touchdown, get a two point conversion, but got the ball back and methodically marched down to the one-yard line before kicking a field goal for the points that won the game at the

final gun. Then against Adams Central, leading by eight points with time running out, held off a furious rally that included a goal line stand to win the game. As I said on the air last Friday night, maybe we should have seen this coming when the bulk of these kids were playing in the YMCA Football League as elementary school students. They played against each other in the championship game one year and have been improving and working very hard to get to the point that they are today. So let’s tip our caps to the Norse one more time. Congratulations on the best season in Northfield football history. We now move on to the next season. What fun it will be to see what team catches our eye during the winter and the spring. Maybe one will catch fire and provide us with more memories. Hot Air will be aired live on Wednesday this week, the night before Thanksgiving at 6 p.m. We will dis-

By The Paper staff The Wabash Apaches girls’ basketball team picked up a pair of dominating wins last week. Wabash snapped its two-game losing streak on Thursday, Nov. 19, with a 58-20 win at Culver Community. On Saturday, the Lady Apaches easily defeated Southern Wells, 57-26. Against Culver, the Lady Apaches built a 14-2 first quarter lead and never looked back. Wabash held Culver to seven points or less in all four quarters. Senior Katie McCauley led Wabash with 15 points, followed by Jaycee Parrett with 12. Madison Barden had nine rebounds in the win. Much like it did against Culver, Wabash build a dominating 21-2 first quarter lead and was never seriously challenged the rest of the night. McCauley led Wabash with 21 points, one of three Lady Apaches to score in double figures. Parrett had 14 points while Bailey Yoakum had 10. The wins improve Wabash’s record to 3-2 on the year. Lady Knights The Southwood Lady Knights dropped

its season opening basketball game, 56-45, to Three Rivers Conference rival the Peru Tigers on Wednesday night. The second quarter is what did in Southwood. Trailing 12-10 after one quarter, the Lady Tigers outscored Southwood, 15-6 in the second quarter to build a 27-16 lead at halftime. The Lady Knights did mount a comeback late in the game, cutting Peru’s lead to six points with about 90 seconds left. However the Lady Tigers held on for the 56-45 victory. Brooke Elliott led Southwood with 15 points, while Makenna Dawes added 11. Kassidy Atwood led the Lady Knights in rebounding, pulling in 10 missed baskets. She also had 10 pass deflections. Southwood shot 14 of 66 from the field for 21.2 percent, including five of 25 from 3-point range. The Lady Knights also were 12 of 22 from the freethrow line. In junior varsity action, Southwood fell to Peru, 34-30. Keagan Simpson led the Lady Knights with 10 points, while Kassity Simpson had 11 rebounds. The Lady Knights opened the home portion of their 2015-16 season with a 66-47

loss to the Northwestern Tigers. The Lady Knights played even with the tall and talented Lady Tigers during the first quarter trailing 12-11 and the end of the first 8 minutes. The see-saw battle continued into the second quarter with the Tigers leading 23-19 with 2 minutes remaining until halftime when the Tigers went on a 10-0 run to take a 14 point lead into the locker room. The third quarter belonged to the Lady Knights as they outscored Northwester 15-12 to cut the lead the 11 at the end of the third quarter. However, the talent of Northwestern and the fatigue of the shortbenched Lady Knights, led Nortwestern to outscore Southwestern 21-13 in the fourth quarter to secure the victory. Brooke Elliott led the Lady Knights in scoring with 23 points which included her shooting 13-13 from the free throw line. She also grabbed a team leading 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Lady Norse Northfield fell to 0-3 on the young season Wednesday night, falling to Eastbrook, 41-36. Payton Thomson led the Norse with 12. Ariel Dale added 10 in

the loss. In junior varsity action, Ally Keafaber scored 12 points and Jordan Shafer added 10 as the Lady Norse won, 38-19. On Saturday, Northfield fell to Huntington North, 67-45. Thomson led Northfield with 13 points. In junior varsity action, Northfield fell 4236.

Lady Squires Manchester improved to 3-0 on Tuesday, Nov. 17, picking up its first TRC win with a 46-24 rout of Maconaquah. Cierra Carter led the way for Manchester, scoring 21 points. “It was a great team effort to get the win,” coach Jacob Everett said. Kennedy Fierstos scored 20 points to lead the Lady Squires to a 49-28 junior varsity win. Bethany Collett added night points, all three-point shots. Manchester had eight different players in the scoring column, and added nine free throws, which, coach Bill McNeeley said, shows the team is being more aggressive at the offensive end of the court. Saturday’s game against Winamac was postponed until Monday night.

Northfield’s Thomson to play basketball at IUK By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Northfield senior Payton Thomson will continue her basketball career next year at Indiana University Kokomo. Her parents, Amy and Torey Thomson, and sister, Kelcie, joined Thomson along with past and current Lady Norse coaches Geoff Salmon and Melissa Allen, and IUK coach Whitney Farris when she signed the paperwork Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 10, in the NHS library. Current NHS teammates and future IUK teammates also were on hand for the signing ceremony. She said one of the determining factors in signing with IUK was “I like the players and the coach.”

She also said she will bring “ a lot of hard work” to the team. Thomson is undecided what she will major in, but said she would like to one day coach. She also said that she likes the fact that IUK is close enough her family and friends can watch her play. “It’s nice,” she said. Farris said she has watched Thomson practice last season. “She just has incredible work ethic,” Farris said. “She always wants to be in the gym. She’s always doing individual workouts on her gym. “We’re really excited to have that come to our team, especially being a younger program, we really need to build on that type of work ethic.”

The IUK women’s basketball team will be in its third season when Thomson joins it for the 2016-17 school year. The Cougars were 8-21 its first season and is 1-1 so far this season. Farris said she and Thomson have not discussed how much playing time she would receive during her freshman year. “It’s really about how much you earn it,” the coach said. “When she comes in next year we’ll have mostly juniors and sophomores, so playing time is really open to how hard you work. “Given the fact that she works really hard, it’s really up to her how much time she gets.” During her junior year, Thomson played in 17 games, averaging 13.1 points per game.

She also averaged 3.6 rebounds per game and 1.6 assists per game. She scored 222 points last season for the Lady Norse, shooting 67 of 207 from twopoint range and 36 of 126 from three-point range. She also had 62 rebounds, 28 assists and 20 steals. As a sophomore, Thomson played in 15 games and averaged 10.5 points per game. She also had 2.1 rebounds per game and 2.7 assists per game. She scored 157 points, hitting 54 of 146 from two-point range and 28 of 81 from three-point range. She was 21 of 32 from the free-throw line. Thomson also had 32 rebounds, 40 assists and 32 steals.

Precaution can prevent Local wrestlers open season tree stand accidents By The Paper staff

From the Indiana DNR With firearms deer season approaching in Indiana, hunters must understand the risks of hunting from an elevated platform and how to protect themselves from a fall. Falls from elevated platforms are the leading cause of deer hunting accidents in Indiana, accounting for more than half of all accidents. In an average deer season, about 18 hunters will experience a fall. Already this year, deer hunters have reported seven falls from elevated platforms during the early archery season. Firearms season, the most popular among

the different deer seasons, starts Nov. 14 and last 16 days. Lt. Larry Morrison of the DNR Division of Law Enforcement said falls are preventable if hunters follow basic tree-stand precautions. “If they are thinking safety, safety, safety, they should be just fine,” he said. The first step toward elevated platform safety is to make sure the equipment is in working order. Only use an elevated platform that has the approval of the Treestand Manufacturers Association (TMA, and make sure to read the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions before installation. Hunters who use homemade elevated

platforms should check them thoroughly for stability before using, especially stands that are exposed to weather from being left outside year-round. Hunters should also wear a full-body, fall arrest harness system that meets TMA standards, to include a lifeline system. Single-strap and chest harnesses should not be used. Do not leave the ground until the fullbody, fall arrest harness system is on. Always have three points of contact with the tree when climbing and descending. “Most of the falls occur while a person is ascending or descending,” Morrison said. A hunter should

never climb with anything in his/her hands or on his/her back. A haul line should be used to lift a gun, a bow or other gear into the stand. Firearms on a haul line should be unloaded with the action open and muzzle pointed downward. Other safety tips include hunting with a buddy, telling someone the exact location of your elevated platform before heading into the woods, getting a full night’s rest before a hunt, and making sure a cellphone, whistle, flare or some other signal device is on your person at all times. In addition, the hunter should be familiar with the equipment they are using.

Local high school wrestling teams opened their seasons on Saturday at various invitational meets. The Wabash Apache wrestlers traveled to compete at the Taylor Super 10 Invitational this past weekend. Wabash came out away with two wins 54-30 against Carroll (Flora) and 48-24 against Madison Grant. Skyler Hall finished the day with a perfect 5-0, finishing each match with a fall or tech fall. Noah Cressell, Derek Wilcox, Zach Buckley, and Austin Hiatt all fin-

ished the day with four wins and only one loss. The Southwood Knights started their wrestling season 2-3 at the Bluffton Super Duals. The Knights defeated Wes-Del 36-35, and Bluffton 60-24. The Knights then dropped a close match to Fremont 36-42, before falling to two strong opponents Concordia 18-62, and Central Noble 18-59. Individual Knight Results were: 285_Cavin Beavers 5-0 (3 pins); 170_Alex Shininger 4-1 (3 pins); 106_Seth Teague 4-1; 145_Chad Elliott 3-2 (2 pins); 113_Phillip Klinger 2-3; 182_Chris

added. “What did change everything around the world,” Bennis continued, “was actually what happened on September 12th, when George Bush announced that the response to this enormous crime would be to take the world to war. He said that the actors who carried out these horrific crimes are thoroughly violent, horrific organizations, but

identifying that kind of super violence doesn’t mean going to war will work – it doesn’t mean that you can bomb terrorism out of existence. You can bomb cities, you can bomb people, sometimes you can even bomb terrorists, but that doesn’t mean it will end terrorism – terrorism survives war, people don’t.” In discussing the challenges of dealing with ISIS, Bennis

drew attention to the U.S. efforts thus far, which are an escalating air war, an expanding drone war, and U.S. troops on the ground. “We know what the results of these wars have been,” she concluded. “In Syria, almost 12 million people have now been displaced from their homes, 4 million of them refugees in other countries, and 250,000 killed.

Manchester U to participate in graduate satisfaction survey By The Paper staff Thirteen Indiana public and private college campuses, including Manchester University, will participate in a statewide survey of alumni experiences and outcomes, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education announced today. The colleges volunteered to take part in the pilot year of the Gallup-Indiana Survey with support from USA Funds, Gallup and the Commission. The Gallup-Indiana data gathered through the surveys will be incorporated into a comprehensive Indiana College Value Index in 2016, which will combine graduate satisfaction data with related return on investment information—including college completion, career placement, student debt and student learning outcomes. “At a time when we are calling upon more Hoosiers to earn post-

secondary degrees and credentials, we must find ways to measure and report the value of that education,” Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers said. “The Gallup-Indiana Survey represents our state’s commitment to providing students and their families a comprehensive view of the full return on investment of education beyond high school. These 13 campuses should be commended for their willingness to take part in this firstin-the-nation index.” A USA Funds grant of $500,000 will provide a 50 percent subsidy of the price for all participating public institutions. The Commission subsidized 10 percent for participating public colleges and Gallup discounted its price 10 percent for all participating colleges. “Students and families need the right information to pick the right college program, so they can gain the right knowledge and

skills to succeed in the 21st century workforce and enjoy rewarding lives following graduation,” said Carol D’Amico, USA Funds executive vice president, National Engagement and Philanthropy. “By participating in this firstin-the-nation survey, these Indiana colleges and universities are demonstrating exceptional leadership in promoting student success. USA Funds is delighted to support this more robust measure of college value to promote student success in college and career.” The survey results will provide colleges valuable feedback on the campus-level practices making the biggest difference in students’ lives longterm as well as providing the state important data to expand upon the quantitative information—including student debt, employment rates and average ear ning—cur rently provided in the

Commission’s Return on Investment reports. The Gallup-Indiana Survey was inspired by Gallup-Purdue Index. This partnership between Gallup and Purdue University surveyed more than 30,000 college graduates to measure the relationship between a college degree and long-term graduate well-being and workplace engagement “The leadership shown in Indiana—by the Commission, USA Funds, and colleges— is an impressive commitment to continuous improvement in higher education. No doubt, other states will follow their lead,” said Brandon Busteed, Executive Director, Education & W o r k f o r c e Development at Gallup.
