Thousands turn out for 15th Chili Cook-off By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com With ladles in hand and chili ready, more than 90 booths served nearly 5,000 guests in attendance at the 15th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off on Saturday, Oct. 21. At noon, chili testers began flooding the gates, kicking off the day with a “good” start, according to cook-off committee member Robert McCallen III. “We probably have the second highest number of teams we’ve had so far and we’re expecting about 5,000 with the numbers,” McCallen told The Paper of Wabash County. Throughout the day, the annual cook-off, hosted at Paradise Spring Historical Park, likely drew a crowd between 5,000 and 8,000 guests in additional to hosting 92 cooking teams, 22 of which were CASI affiliated,

With ticket prices set at $5, the event raised at least $24,500, not including additional funds generated through raffle ticket sales, team entries and the cookoff ’s sister event, the Chili Bowl. Since its establishment in 2002, the local event has earned the title of the largest chili cook-off east of the Mississippi River. It has also raised and donated more than $475,000, not

including 2017’s figures, to local charities that assist Wabash County and area residents in various ways. This year, that amount will likely exceed $500,000, according to Shelley. “We’ll go over that this year,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “I know so.” The committee never imagined they’d reach the half million dollar amount. “Our first year that we did (continued on page 6)

Wabash County’s Local Income Tax will change as of Jan. 1, 2018. On Monday, Oct. 16, the Wabash County Council hosted a special, public meeting to discuss the LIT rate changes and eventually approved an ordinance modifying the rates with a 5-2 vote. Before voting, the council considered decreasing property tax relief rates from 1 percent to .5 percent, allocating .41 percent to a Certified Shares and directing .09 percent of expenditure rate to the Public Safety Access Point (PSAP), according to the ordinance’s verbatim. The PSAP would fund approximately $570,000 budget of the county’s Central Dispatch

department, which is currently being funded from the General Fund, and would further rearrange the percentages to fund the PSAP at .09 percent with a .41 percent increase— instead of a .5 percent increase—in certified shares and revenue, according to Marcie Shepherd, Wabash County Auditor. Currently, the existing property tax relief rate is 1 percent and the expenditure rate is 1.4 percent. Under the proposal, the property tax relief rate would decrease to .5 percent and the expenditure rate would increase to 1.9 percent. Following the adoption, the expenditure rate being directed to the PSAP after adoption is .09 percent, the ordinance continued. (continued on page 4)

Wabash woman helps with animals from Hurricane Maria By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A Wabash woman was among a group of volunteers who traveled to Greenfield to tend to a shipment of animals needing help in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Whitney Myers is a District Leader Volunteer for the Humane Society of the United States. Because of that, she was among those who traveled to the Indianapolis Regional Airport in Greenfield to help greet and tend to 82 cats and dogs rescued from Puerto Rico.

Because of low spaying and neutering numbers and underfunded shelters in Puerto Rico, the HSUS has sponsored flights to evacuate animals in existing shelters there due to the lack of space. “They can’t help with the housing of some of the most defenseless residents of Puerto Rico who are stranded or lost as a result of the hurricane,” Myers told The Paper of Wabash County. “The animals who are moving into the shelters are ones whose families might be looking for them, so they can’t be transported to the (continued on page 4)

County healthcare pioneer named 2017 Healthcare Hero By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A Wabash woman who can be described as a pioneer in Wabash County healthcare will be honored Nov. 11 during the Parkview Wabash Hospital Foundation Gala. Jean Leakey will receive the 2017 Healthcare Hero Award during the annual event at the Honeywell Center’s

Legacy Hall. Lori Miller, RN, Parkview Wabash’s Nursing Service Manager, and Kerri Mattern, the hospital’s manager of Patient Experience and Volunteers, notified Leakey of the honor earlier this month. It was Miller who nominated Leakey for the honor. Actually, Leakey thought there was a mistake when the pair showed up at the home she shares with her elder sister,

Gwen, who turns 99 on Oct. 30. When Miller and Mattern showed up at their home, Leakey thought it was an early birthday present for her sister. “I was shocked,” Leakey said, when she learned the gifts were for her and the reason behind it. For the last 18 years, Leakey, 91, has been a volunteer at Parkview Wabash and Wabash County Hospital. “I work with the chaplaincy program,”

she said. “I go visit patients, pray with them and talk with them. “Sometimes it’s very difficult. But 99 percent of the time it’s very rewarding. If they know who the Lord is, it’s very rewarding.” Miller, in her nominating letter, noted, “Jean came up to me the other day and along with two of the oncology nurses said the most heartfelt prayer.

MSD continues solar panel discussion By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

MSD of Wabash County furthered discussions on possibly using solar panels in the future to cut utility costs. The MSD Board of Education began the talks on July 11 with a presentation from P e r f o r m a n c e Services, an Indianapolis-based, energy-savings consulting firm. Chris Kuhn, MSD

assistant superintendent of finance, updated the MSD Board of Education on the information he gathered so far on the possible endeavor. “This is an opportunity, again, for us to follow our theme or motto as far as dreaming big and working hard, and what advantages solar panels might bring us as a corporation,” Kuhn said. By implementing solar panels, the corporation would gener-

ate a guaranteed savings of $5,344,987 across 20 years with a fixed utility cost of $274,537 yearly, he explained, citing the P e r f o r m a n c e Services’ calculations. “So no matter what, we are guaranteed an amount of savings over the life of our lease (of the solar panels), which I believe is 20 years,” Kuhn said. “So there’s about a $5 million cost savings that we would have over a 25-year

period. These solar panels typically last about 40 years. “That cost in the example was $274,537 annually. … That’s the cost that would come out of CPF (Capital Projects Fund) when our average power costs, on a yearly basis, is $343,700 with the last three year average that I took.” Board member Gary Fadil questioned if there’d be additional power costs for emergency cases of inclement

weather. “The way I understand it is it’s a fixed cost so they guarantee that,” Superintendent Michael Keaffaber said. “So if we go over this usage, they pay for that. So it is a fixed cost. What we’re really doing is trading monies. So in other words, instead of paying a vendor for our power, we’re paying our lease for the solar panels and then that is a guaranteed amount that we pay, which is a huge savings. “That’s why we see these (solar panels) pop up all over the place and you see all the other schools looking at this because not only is it a savings, it’s also environmental friendly.” Kuhn advised that, according to P e r f o r m a n c e Services, while cloudy days and snow will have some affect on the panels, it will not inhibit the technology’s ability to perform. Fadil questioned if implementing solar panels throughout the district was a “high priority” project.

“When we had this presentation this last time, I did not believe when I left here that this was our highest priority, to bring it back up for another conversation,” he explained. “And I can answer some of that too,” Keaffaber replied. “When you say highest priority, there’s a lot to it. Are you talking about curriculum? Are you talking about construction? Are you talking about finances? This is one (project) where there’s no capital outlay so there’s no cost to us. So when there’s no cost to us and there’s a savings to us then it is a priority because, if you think about it, if we can save $50,000 out of our Capital Projects that we would not have saved otherwise—“ “You’ll be spending your utility costs regardless,” Kuhn added. “They will continue to go up. So you’re just spending that money to spend that money because you have that cost. This is an opportunity to save some of that cost out of Capital Projects and you save

some of that cost out of the General Fund, because whatever is not covered in the Capital Projects since we can only spend so much is taken out of General Fund.” If the board wished to move forward, Kuhn said, the next steps would include board discussion, request for qualifications and enter the bidding process, receive vendor recommendations and presentations, the board provides approval and sends a letter of intent, and then lastly begins design and layout.

When Myers learned a rescue flight would be coming to Indianapolis, she said, “My first thought was ‘How can I help?’” The flight left Puerto Rico at 4:30 a.m. However, because of weather, it didn’t arrive in Greenfield until 9:30 p.m. “There were 82 animals on that flight that included adult dogs, puppies and kittens,” she said. “This was one of the smallest groups this airline transported; they have had as many as 200 animals

aboard a single flight.” Pilots, according to Myers, have been making flights to and from Puerto Rico and other h u r r i c a n e - r av a g e d islands for 18 straight days. “They have delivered animals all over the United States, and we were lucky enough to receive this one,” she said. HSUS put all calls for help for shelters from around Indiana and as far away as Cincinnati, to come to help with the animals. “Seeing all of these shelter vehicles was not only heart-warming, but humbling,” Myers said. “When the plane touched down a collective cheer went out, and as the plane opened its doors you could feel the love and energy. The animals were handed down to the volunteers on the ground, and we placed them on the tarmac in rows, which were quickly moved into

groups according to the shelters poised to take them to their temporary homes.” Some animals were a bit rambunctious, making it a challenge to get them from the plane to the ground. Others, she continued, were so exhausted they didn’t move at all. “They all had water in their kennels, as well as treats when they landed,” she said of the animals. “Some were vocal; some were quite. But all of them had a look of gratitude in their eyes, almost as if they knew they were safe.” After all the animals were on the ground, volunteers spent time with every dog and cat, Myers said, “reassuring them, loving on them, and establishing a human bond that many might not have had for years, or ever, outside of shelter employees or volunteers.” The HSUS celebrates

Rather than run local shelters, the HSUS takes on the biggest transformational fights to stop large-scale cruelties, such as animal fighting, puppy mills, factory farming and the wildlife trade. As district leader volunteer, Myers works to advance the group’s

LIT tax to change Prior to the vote, the council opened up the discussion to answer questions from the public, according to the meeting’s minutes. County resident Nancy Whitmer asked what the purpose of the PSAP option was, how the revenue would be used and how the .09 percent was figured. Shepherd advised that the .09 percent rate would be used to pay for the Central Dispatch call center and that the amount equaled approximately

$580,000 Central Dispatching budget that is currently paid from the General Fund. Council Chairman Jeff Dawes added that the PSAP revenue will be distributed only to the county unit because the county has the burden of funding the dispatch center. By

federal, state and local animal protection legislative priorities and corporate reform campaigns. “It was by far one of the best experiences of my life – way better than Christmas,” Myers said of her experience with the animals. “As an individual, there is a limited amount we can do, but as a community, we can do so much.”

December, he added. All local taxing units will receive additional income tax shares, or revenue, from the decrease in property tax relief percentage, Shepherd said. She advised, however, that property tax bills may decrease because of lower assessed values and some alleviation of funding to support General Fund expenses. Shepherd added that Wabash County homestead owners will still receive the homestead and supplemental deductions from assessed values for which they qualify with the continued goal of the rearrangement of percentages to result in a minimum impact on taxpayers. The total local income tax rate will not change, according to Shepherd. Council member Kyle Bowman said he was in favor of approving the PSAP income tax option, but suggested decreasing the property tax relief percentage by one-third, .34 percent, for the first year instead of the one half, .5 percent, decrease as originally proposed. No discussion followed, however. The council approved the original ordinance 5-2 with Bowman and Council member Matt Dillon against.

For 23 years she served as a medical assistant for Drs. Robert Rauh and Stephen Fassino, retiring in 1994. Prior to that, she and her husband, Dale, started the Friendly Nursing Home on Quaker Street on Wabash’s south side. They also opened homes in Huntington, Peru and Logansport. The facilities were purchased by a group of local businessmen, who later sold them to the group that operates Miller’s Merry Manor. “We just saw the need for a regular nursing home,” Leakey said of the couple’s decision to open the facility. After selling to the local businessmen, she said, she worked for them for a few more years. “Then they must

community as “The Hat Lady.” When she lost her husband to ALS in 1991, Leakey decided she needed something to do to help her keep her piece of mind. It was then she decided to take her collection of hats and present programs at various civic and church organizations. “It was an early form of mental well being,” Mattern noted, for both Leakey as well as for those to whom she was speaking. She would travel throughout northern and central Indiana and Ohio presenting what is estimated to be several hundred programs. Leakey had more than 600 hats in her collection at one point. That has been pared down to 100, she said, “and I can still give programs with my favorites.” Tickets are still available for the annual Gala on Veterans

book because, eventually, there will be people that come along and take our place, and we want them to know how we did it.” While the cook-off ’s primary purpose is to raise funds, teams also have an opportunity to take part in some friendly competition while meeting members of the community. While they do not compete for cash prizes, chili competitors had a chance to win plaques in categories including Open People’s Choice, Church People’s Choice, Open Showmanship, Restaurant Division, CASI Chili, CASI Showmanship, Unusual Ingredient Award and Farthest Distance Award.

Brick Road Chili • CASI Showmanship: Rick’s Auto • Unusual Ingredient Award: Shenanig an’s O’Plenty • Farthest Distance: Paul’s Floor Covering from Hilliard, Ohio Each year, Linda and Bob Hoffman, of Fort Wayne, return to the Chili for Charity Cookoff with their chili team, Red with Envy. This year, however, Mrs. Hoffman refereed the CASI Chili and Restaurant Division competitions instead of participating in the contests with her husband on Saturday. “This looks fabulous,” Mrs. Hoffman said of this year’s cook-off, “and you just look at the turnout here. It’s a beautiful day. It’s a beautiful day for chili. I think it’s wonderful for the community. I think it’s wonderful, obviously, for the charities that are involved, but I wouldn’t miss this cook-off for anything in the world. “I think if you want to be a cook (at the cook-off), go for it. There is no bad, no good. It’s coming out here to have fun. That’s what it’s all about.” Since 2002, the cookoff has grown beyond the founder’s and organizing committee’s wildest dreams, according to McCallen. “Nobody thought this would last 15 years,” he said. “We all are looking back and saying, ‘We can’t believe it’s been 15 years’ and we hope it continues on a long, long time. It has definitely grown beyond our wildest expectations.” And it’s all thanks to the community. “It wouldn’t be anything without the community,” McCallen said. “It wouldn’t be like it was if it wasn’t Wabash County. That’s just me. I’m a hometown boy, but I really believe that in my heart.” “You never know when you start, but it’s just something that the community has embraced,” Shelley later added. “It’s not anything we do. It’s the public that keeps this going, because if it wasn’t for them and if it wasn’t for the chili teams, none of this would

matter. “As committee, we are so grateful. It just shows the heart and the spirit that Wabash and Wabash County has, that they take

care of their own.” From here, “we just keep doing what we’re doing,” Shelley said, “and hopefully it continues to grow and that means more and

more money goes to local charities and

that’s the whole reason we do it.”

Prevent breakdowns with battery care From Metro Creative Graphics

Many drivers have experienced the misfortune of getting into their vehicles only to realize their engines won’t turn over. Although there may be plenty of reasons why a car will not start, quite frequently

a dead battery is to blame. Car batteries can last for five years or more when properly cared for, but many batteries wear down and become inefficient within three years of daily use. According to the UKbased company Warranty Wise, car

batteries deteriorate with every charge from a vehicle’s engine. Naturally, drivers who are stranded by dead batteries wish they had done more to prevent their battery dying while they’re on the road. Certain factors might offer clues as to how much life vehicle

batteries have left. Longer start time: A dying battery may cause the engine to crank, but it can be slow to start or not seem to exude a lot of power. Cranks but doesn’t start: You may turn the key to hear the engine trying to turn over, but it won’t.

Even if the vehicle eventually starts, have the battery checked and, if necessary, replaced by a mechanic. A jump start has been necessary: Batteries that have required a jump or multiple jumps are on their last legs and should be replaced immediately. Dim lights or check engine indicator: Batteries powers the electric components in a vehicle, so dim lights could be indicative of a loss of power. Having the —

check engine — light come on also can be a clue. Extreme tempera-

tures: According to Firestone, hot or cold temperatures can (continued on page 9)

The importance of clean gutters From Metro Creative Graphics Every autumn, trees and shrubs take on their brilliant display of reds, oranges, purples, and yellows that mark the end of the growing season. Fall foliage may make for ideal photo backdrops and scenic days in the countryside, but closer to home leaves may be more of a hindrance than an aesthetic pleasure. The hundreds of leaves that adorn the maples, oaks and other trees near homes will eventually fall as autumn turns into winter. Some will float down to lawns, while others will get lodged in gutters and downspouts, posing problems that can cause substantial and potentially costly problems for homeowners.

Prevent breakdowns with battery care ...continued from page 8 shorten a battery’s life. If you live in an extreme climate, your battery may not last as long as the manufacturer suggests it should. Short driving trips: People who take many short trips (less than 20 minutes each) may find their batteries do not have enough time to fully recharge, shortening their life expectancy. Pungent aroma: Leaking and corrosion around the battery terminals can cause battery issues. If there is a rotten egg smell under the hood, it may be a leaking battery on its way to dying. Drivers can have their vehicle batteries tested by mechanics. Batteries can be replaced at home or at a garage. Servicing the vehicle frequently can prevent performance inefficiencies and help determine if any components are straining the battery and causing premature loss of battery life.

Homeowners know that gutter cleaning is an important part of

fall home maintenance, but they may not completely understand

why. Gutter cleaning can be a messy and (continued on page 10)

The importance of clean gutters ...continued from page 9 time-consuming project, making it a project many homeowners are apt to put off. Waiting to clean gutters can lead to considerable problems, so itÕs best to

tackle the job well in advance of the winter. Gutters guide rainwater and runoff from the roof so it drains properly away from homes. When gutters are

clogged with leaves, a number of problems can occur. Leaks: Water will take the path of least resistance. When clogged gutters do not allow the

water to drain away properly, water will find other ways to the ground. It may work itself right into the walls and ceilings of the home. In addition to

damaging walls and ceilings, moisture inside the home can promote mold growth. It also makes interior spaces more appealing to pests.

Excess weight: Gutters are meant to hold the weight of traveling water and not much more. Gutters filled with leaves and other debris can quickly become heavy. This stresses the entire gutter system and can cause the gutters to fall off of the home entirely. Nesting areas: Clogged gutters can serve as nesting areas for insects and birds. Mosquitoes and other insects lay eggs in pooling water. Gutters can quickly become breeding spots for harmful pests. Furthermore, birds may nest in gutters, creating unsightly messes and more damage. Seeds that sprout in clogged gutters can grow unchecked. Ice-damming: Left untreated, pooled water and leaves in gutters can freeze over. Blocked water can back up and push against the roof, lifting shingles and

destroying the roof in the process. Foundation trouble: Clogged gutters also may contribute to flooded basements and cracked foundations. Leaking water will pool around the foundation, expanding when frozen and causing cracks in basement and crawlspace walls. It also can cause driveways and other cement areas around the home to sag and crack. Gutter cleaning should be scheduled in the spring and fall of each year. Homeowners can hire gutter-cleaning services to handle the job or do the job themselves. Rinse the gutters with water from the hose afterward to ensure good run-off. Take the time to seal any leaks as well. This routine maintenance can save homeowners many headaches and prevent some very expensive repairs.

Signs that more insulation is necessary From Metro Creative Graphics Insulation serves dual purposes in a home. In the winter, insulation prev e n t s heat loss a n d k e e p s h o m e s comfor ta b l y w a r m , while in the summer it buffers a h o m e from the heat and prevent cold air from escaping. Insulation also is one of the most costeffective ways to make a home more energy-efficient. Homeowners may recognize the importance of insulation, but be unaware of how to recognize

when insulation needs to be replaced or even if they have adequate insulation in their homes. According to the

United States Department of Energy, a qualified home energy auditor can check a home’s insulation as part of a whole-house energy assessment. An energy assessment, also known as a home energy audit, also helps to identify

Don’t let cold stop outdoor entertaining From Metro Creative Graphics

Outdoor entertaining has never been more popular. As more and more homeowners turn their homes into their own personal oases, extending the party outdoors has become a bigger priority. According to the recent studies, out-ofdoors areas on a property are the favored venues for celebrations with family and friends. While outdoor entertaining was once relegated to the warm weather seasons,

advancements in technology have now made it more comfortable and enjoyable to entertain outdoors for much of the year. But hosts who want to extend the outdoor party after summer has come and gone should consider a few important entertaining tips. - Start the party early. Summertime backyard barbecues and pool parties benefit from late-evening sunsets that illuminate patios and pool areas well into the evening. In addition, many hosts prefer to start such parties later in (continued on page 16)

areas of the home that are in need of air sealing. Homeowners also can do their own visual assessments to deter mine if their h o m e s need more insulation. The following are a handful of signs that indicate you may have an insulation deficit in your home. If the snow melts on your roof but not on your neighbors’, this may be a sign that you need more insulation in the attic. Melting snow means heat is escaping from the attic or under the eaves. Bare spots in the attic and insulation that does not extend to the edge of the roof may indicate a need for more.

Check the level of insulation in the attic. If it is level with or falls below the ceiling joists, an extra layer should be installed. If energy bills are higher than normal for the time of year, that may be due to a

lack of insulation. Notice whether the HVAC system is running more than usual. An unusually warm second story during hot weather also may be indicative of an insulation deficiency. Such a situation sug-

gests hot air is infiltrating the home through the roof. When adding insulation, choose the right R-value for your home. R-value measures how well certain materials, such as insulation, resist heat. The high-

er the R-value, the greater the insulation. Therefore, insulation with a higher R-value will perform better than insulation with a lower rating. Colder climates may require a higher R-value than warmer ones.

From Metro Creative Graphics Winter weather causes many people to retreat indoors until the spring thaw. However, for those who embrace the cooler temperatures or find that life must go on despite snow and ice, taking inventory of their vehicles is a must before the first snowflakes start to fall. Tire care is an especially important area of vehicle maintenance. The tire experts at Michelin say that

regular tires may be ineffective for winter driving. Summer tires are made from materials that are optimized for warm conditions. When the mercury drops, these same materials can harden, reducing their ability to grip the road. That lack of traction can be compounded by the presence of snow or ice. Even all-season tires, which are designed to be driven year-round, can be insufficient in severe weather conditions.

Winter tires can help drivers safely navigate winter roadways. Bridgestone Tires officials say that having the right snow tires matters when driving in winter weather conditions. It’s important to look for tires that can disperse water sufficiently and also grip the road. Snow tires are designed to remain softer and more flexible to conform to the road better in cold conditions. Some winter tires are even studded to provide better trac-

tion. Unfortunately, even the best winter tires cannot provide perfect traction on slippery roadways. That is why it is essential — in conjunction with the use of winter tires or snow chains — to modify driving techniques to navigate safely. Drive slowly. Slow down on winter roads. Allow a greater distance for stopping than for dry conditions. Slippery conditions can make it more chal(continued on page 16)

Don’t let cold stop outdoor entertaining ...continued from page 12 the day to avoid the sun during the early afternoon when it is at its most blazing. However, start the party earlier in the day when hosting in fall or early winter. Temperatures can drop considerably once the sun begins to set, so starting early can save hosts and their guests from cold air. — Heat things up. Summertime hosts might employ canopies to protect themselves and their guests from the heat, and it’s important for hosts to take similar steps when the weather is chillier. The AHFA report found that 38 percent of homeowners intended to purchase fire pits for their outdoor entertaining areas, and such fire

pits can keep guests warm as the sun goes down and the night air gets chilly. Fire pits have become musthave items for outdoor entertaining areas, and hosts can surely find one that suits their needs. — Change the menu. Grilling hot dogs and hamburgers might still work when entertaining outdoors in fall and winter, but hosts may want to stray from other summertime fare like watermelon or pasta salad. Embrace the cold weather by roasting some nuts and making s’mores over an open fire. In lieu of summertime beverages like lemonade and beer, serve hot chocolate or wine to keep guests warm.

— Ensure there is adequate lighting. Mother Nature won’t offer much lighting when you host a party outdoors in late fall and early winter, so make sure your patios and sidewalks are well lit. Guests will want to see one another and what they’re eating, and well-lit walkways will reduce the risk that guests take a tumble or turn their ankles when walking to and from the house. Outdoor entertaining need not end because summer has come and gone. But hosts must take a different approach to hosting when throwing outdoor gatherings in late fall and early winter.

Fire pits can keep hosts and their guests warm during outdoor parties in late fall and early winter.

Safety measures for winter drivers ...continued from page 12 lenging to stop, and excessive speeds can make the situation worse. Shift into low gear. On hills, rely on low gears to maximize traction to travel up and down hills. This can minimize skids or sliding. Get the vehicle a tuneup. In addition to tires, be sure the braking system, battery and other major components of the vehicle are in good working order. Replace windshield wipers. Reduced visibility can compromise the safety of drivers and their passengers. Replace windshield wiper

blades before winter arrives. Consider purchasing winter-rated windshield blades. Know how to recover from a skid. When skids occur on black ice or slush, drivers should take their feet off of the pedals and steer gently in the direction they want to go. As the vehicle regains traction, only then should the brakes or accelerator be applied. Winter weather requires making some vehicle modifications, and drivers may want to alter the way they drive to be more safe on the road.

April 1, 1926 – Oct. 12, 2017

Donald L. Colburn’s journey on this earth ended Oct. 12, 2017, following a brief illness. He was born on April 1, 1926, in Waverly, Iowa, the son of Dora F. Turner and Parley A. Colburn. On June 6, 1952, he was united in marriage to Lois Esaley of Hanover, Pa. The Rev. Dr. Colburn received his B.A. degree from Cornell College, a Master of Divinity degree from Drew University, and a PhD in Psychology from Boston University. His boyhood roots on the farm, combined with his education, work, and travels, formed who Don Colburn was as a man, an adventurer, lifelong learner, humanitarian, father, husband, teacher, friend, and jokester. Don’s 30-year career as Professor of Psychology at Manchester University (formerly, Manchester College) North Manchester, molded his gifts as a teacher, mentor, and guide to countless students and colleagues. A career highlight was the honor to work in collaboration with Dr. Anna Freud at the prestigious Tavistock Clinic in London, England. Additionally, he was honored by his students who, in a measure of their appreciation, established the Donald L. Colburn scholarship upon his retirement. Annually, this scholarship is awarded to a student at Manchester University majoring in psychology. Don was an avid reader, an agile skier, equestrian, tennis player, and cyclist, biking well into his 80s. In addition, he loved the theater, writing, poetry, music of all styles, traveling, gardening, cooking, and was a talented public speaker. Don was fortunate to have traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe with his family. Above and beyond all of this, Don was a friend and a comrade. He knew no strangers; And, that - perhaps - is what those who knew Don, cherished in him the most. In addition to his parents, Don was preceded in death by sister, Vivian Baldwin. He is survived by his wife, Lois (Esaley) Colburn; his son, Dr. Christopher Colburn (Solange); his daughter, Erica Colburn; three grandchildren: Bryce Vanstory, Caleb and Madeline Colburn; his sister, Lois Burroughs; many nieces and nephews; his dear friends, Jerry and Jan Bruce, and countless other close friends. A private celebration of life service will be hosted by the family at a later date. For those wishing to leave notes of remembrance, please note these via the obituary section (see guestbook) of the website, http://www.hendersonvillefh.com. Notes of remembrance are also welcomed by emailing them to loiscolburn@cinci.rr.com, or ericacolburn21@yahoo.com.

ISP to participate in drug take back program By The Paper staff PERU — On Saturday, Oct. 28, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring the 14th nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative. The “Take Back” initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of prescription drugs. Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs which will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment. This program is for liquid and pill medications. Needles, new or used, will not be accepted for disposal. This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked. Last April Americans turned in 450 tons (900,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at almost 5,500 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,200 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 13 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 8.1 million pounds —more than 4,050 tons — of pills. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing

them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards. Once again, the Indiana State Police are pleased to partner with the DEA, and as in the past, the drugs may be dropped off at any Indiana State Police Post, except the Toll Road Post. The event will be on Saturday, Oct. 28, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The ISP Post in Peru is located at 1451 N Eel River Cemetery Road. Also, the Indiana State Police will host a drop off site on Friday, Oct. 27, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. inside the Indiana Government Center North public entrance off of Robert Orr Plaza in Indianapolis. This is between the government north and south buildings, immediately west of the State Capitol building.

Peru Native Serves in Navy’s “Silent Service” Half a World Away By Lt. Eileen Suarez Navy Office of Community Outreach SANTA RITA, Guam - A 1997 Maconaquah High School graduate and Peru native is serving in the U.S. Navy’s silent service submarine community on the island of Guam as part of the staff of C o m m a n d e r, Submarine Squadron 15. Senior Chief Jack Durand is a machinist’s mate (auxiliary) serving aboard U.S. Naval Base Guam, supporting Virginia and Los Angeles class fast-attack submarines. As a Navy machinist’s mate (auxiliary), Durand is responsible for the maintenance of forward deployed submarines in Guam. “My hometown taught me the importance of teamwork, which I carried over into the Navy,” said Durand. “We are on small confined submarines and you have to be a team player.” The Los Angelesclass measures 360 feet long and weighs approximately 6,900 tons while the Virginia-class measures 377 feet long and weighs approximately 7,800 tons. These

Senior Chief Jack Durand nuclear-powered propulsion system helps push the submarines through the water at nearly 30 mph. Attack submarines are designed to hunt down and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships; strike targets ashore with cruise missiles; carry and deliver Navy SEALs; carry out intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions; and engage in mine warfare. Their primary tactical advantage is stealth, operating undetected under

the sea for long periods of time. “Senior Chief Durand, along with the rest of my staff, does an outstanding job ensuring our homeported units and all submarines operating forward in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility are prepared to answer the nation’s call whenever necessary,” said Capt. David Schappert, commander, Submarine Squadron 15. “We are first responders out here at the tip of the spear; and our Sailors are the best in the

fleet.” According to Navy officials, submariners are some of the most highly trained and skilled people in the Navy. The training is highly technical, and each crew has to be able to operate, maintain, and repair every system or piece of equipment on board. Regardless of their specialty, everyone also has to learn how everything on the sub works and how to respond in emergencies to become “qualified in submarines” and earn the right to wear the coveted gold or silver dolphins on their uniform. This is especially true for Sailors assigned to Submarine Squadron 15 because Guam Sailors are located at our nation’s most strategically important forwarddeployed submarine base, and the missions they conduct are at the tip of the spear of our forward readiness. These Sailors are the forward deployed, first line of defense in the Pacific. Although it is difficult for most people to imagine living on a submarine, challenging submarine living

conditions actually build strong fellowship among the crew. The crews are highly motivated, and quickly adapt to changing conditions. It is a busy life of special-

ized work, watches and drills. “I have got to do some of the most amazing things with some of the most amazing people,” added Durand. “My

favorite part of being in the Navy is being a part of operations and missions that support freedom and democracy around the world.”

R o a n n ’ s Community Heritage is again sponsoring a Christmas bazaar on Dec. 2 at the Community Building in Roann. The group is currently looking for crafters who would like a space for this event. If interested, please contact Jerry Nelson at 765998-2863. THE ROANN LIONS met on the re—scheduled date of Oct. 11, due to health issues of several members. The meeting was opened by President Rick Morris who welcomed everyone and led the group in the pledge to the American flag. In old business: Keith Ford reported that the sales for donuts during the festival went very well. The Lions Club sold over 1,000 donuts. They had some help from those that were not Lions Club members. Thank you everyone for the help. Ford read thank you cards from Pete Snep thanking the Roann Lions Club for their help to install the new sign at the intersection of State Roads 15 and 16. The new Lions Club signs have been installed at the east and west side of Roann on State Road 16. One of the original Lions Club signs will be moved to the Roann Richvalley road area. Other thank-you cards were from the family of Ruby Swihart who passed away; and Tom Polk, our District Governor who was invited to ride in the Roann parade for the festival. Polk also helped to hand out ice cream sandwiches after the parade. Ford also read a list of all the donations the Roann Lions Club has given to this year. The list includes: Lions Club Foundation, the Leader Dog Program for the blind, Cancer Control (Vision First Eye Tissue Bank), Indiana School for the Blind, Roann’ C o m m u n i t y Heritage, Sigma Phi Gamma Sorority, and the Roann Little League. Rick Morris reported on the curb painting in Roann before the festival. He thanked Keith Ford and Roger

Harman for helping. Stuart Jones brought in some of his recruits and they painted most of the fire hydrants. It all helped to spruce up the town. Donna Harman reported that the festival went well. There were many compliments. Russell Krom reported on the tractor pulls that were held during the Roann festival. He said everything went great, it was a good pull. They had many compliments on the tractor pull and the pulling track. They even had some vintage tractors from Ohio. They would like to thank all the sponsors that made the pull possible. In new business: Dick Siders attended the Lions Club meeting to tell us he would like to donate

the train caboose he owns to the Roann Lions Club and the Roann Heritage Group. He plans to attend the next meeting for the Heritage Group to let them also know about his decision. The caboose will be placed on the library grounds, which has already been approved by the library board members. A few work days will be planned yet this fall for the Lions Club. One day will be scheduled to remove signs at the pull field and possibly work on landscaping at the new sign at State Roads 15 and 16. They will also work on the list of repairs needed at the log cabin and jail, which is owned by the town, and maintained by the Lions Club. The club will complete the repairs including, painting the jail roof. The paint was donated by our club member Phil Dale. In memory of Lions Club member Vonell Krom, who recently passed away, the club acknowledged and made known how they appreciated all that Vonell had done

throughout the years as a Roann Lions Club member. THE UNITED M E T H O D I S T Women met on Oct. 11 in the home of Nancy Cussen with Gina Cussen Brault serving as co-hostess. President Connie Doud opened the meeting with prayer. The theme of the evening was birthdays. The group voted to hold Trunk or Treat at the Church on Oct. 31. Members are asked to dress up, decorate their trunks of their vehicles, and come to have a good time. Nov.. 29 will be the next meeting of the United Methodist Women. Members will meet at 6 p.m. at the church. There will be a short meeting and refreshments. Everyone is then asked to stay and decorate the church for Christmas. Dec. 3 will be the first Sunday of Advent. Dec. 10 is the date set for the church Christmas party. It will begin in the church fellowship hall at 5 p.m. with a carry-in meal and fun to follow. Nancy Cussen con-

cluded the evening by giving a lesson about birthday celebrations. In Mark 6:21, King Herod gave a banquet on his birthday and invited officers and leaders of Galilee. In Jeremiah 29:11 we are told that God knows the plans He has for us to give us a future and a hope. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are what He has made us; created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. We celebrate God’s blessing of life, knowing that every life is precious and that God has a plan for everyone. The group was reminded to take time on their birthdays to remember that God is the giver of life, and that He loves us. The evening ended with celebrating everyone’s birthday, exchanging gifts, and enjoying birthday cupcakes.

Wabash Street work progressing By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Work on North Wabash Street is slightly behind schedule, but is progressing. That was the word Friday, Oct. 20, from Mayor Scott Long. The Wabash Street project is one of several that will have local drivers seeking alternate routes this week. Work will have Manchester Avenue closed for several days as well, as the city works on the second phase of the sewer mitigation plan. “Now you feel my pain,” Long joked, when asked why the two projects were scheduled when they were, closing two major north-south roads in the city. Actually, Long said, officials contemplated keeping Manchester Avenue open while work was being done. However, the line the crews must work on is in the center of the road. This week was chosen for the Manchester Avenue work because it is fall break and the chances are greater for less traffic along the route. Long said he hoped the Manchester work would only take a few days, weather permitting. As for Wabash Street, crews placed the entire length of under drain in last week, and E&B Paving began placing stakes for where the curbing will go. Work on the curbing was slated to begin Monday, and then crews were to work on driveway entrances. “We’re a little behind, but the weather is helping us out,” Long said.

Clerk to get new poll pads By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com The Wabash County Clerk’s Office will soon be purchasing around $30,000 worth of polling equipment. The three-year contract was unanimously approved by the county commissioners at the board’s

Monday, Oct. 23, meeting, and totals $32,279 for 13 new poll pads, the associated hardware and software, and three years of maintenance. “It’s with a company called KNOWiNK. They are a sister company with MicroVote, which is the company that Wabash County has done business

with for 20-30 years for our election equipment. This particular company handles our electronic poll pads – that’s what checks people in as they vote, they’re not connected to the voting machine itself,” County Clerk Elaine Martin said. “On a full, regular election, we have 10

vote center sites, so we purchased 13 [poll pads].” Martin said that the new equipment was needed to replace the county’s current poll pads, purchased in 2014. “That equipment is antiquated and obsolete. It has reached the full capacity as far as memory goes.

We felt that we needed either to upgrade with them at a substantially higher cost, or go with a new company,” Martin said. “It’s more userfriendly for us on our end as far as setting up for elections, as well as for our poll workers on election day.”

Martin noted that the county council had already approved the use of the funds, and that County Attorney Steve Downs approved the contract. In other news, Chief Deputy Tyler Guenin of the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department provided the weekly

jail report, saying that there were 93 inmates in the Wabash County Jail, with an additional 47 being held in Miami County, two in Elkhart County and four in Blackford County. Of those, Guenin said, 20 were new book-ins.
