Local YMCA event gathers volunteers for ‘day of service’ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com More than 300 volunteers gathered on Sunday, Aug. 23, to serve the community during the Wabash County YMCA’s Togetherhood Day of Service event, according to Kurt Freeman, volunteer coordinator and First United Methodist Church pastor. Togetherhood is the YMCA’s “signature program for social responsibility,” according to the company’s website. However, it does not benefit the YMCA in any way, Freeman said. “The Y decided it wants to help people be better people,” he said. “We want to develop the whole individual, the whole person and so part of that is giving back to the community.” The local YMCA and churches partnered to service the community “outside the walls” of the facilities, Freeman continued. Sunday marked the county’s second annual Togetherhood event. The event provided tasks that “everybody can do,” Freeman said. Volunteers painted with the city’s street department, tended to the community gardens and crafted cards as well as provided various other services to 31 worksites around the county. This year, volunteers also helped clean out the (continued on page 21)

There are “no new updates” for the six investigations of E. coli in Wabash, Fulton and Marshall counties, according to Ken Severson, the Indiana State Department of Health media relations coordinator. The E. coli investigations began Aug. 5 after the ISDH was notified of a case of the diarrheal illness on Aug. 4. During a conference call with media outlets on Aug. 14, the ISDH announced that these investigations are being considered an outbreak, refusing to identify the number of cases in each county. Department officials did release that three of the cases did attend a daycare in one of the three counties; however, officials stated that it was not the source of the outbreak. Parents whose children attend the daycare have been notified. The daycare’s officials have cooperated fully with the ISDH and the facility was thoroughly cleaned with bleach water, according to Pam Pontones, Indiana State epidemiologist. No new diarrheal illness cases have been identified at the daycare since Aug. 7. One reason why these cases are under investigation is because a single source has yet to have been identified, according to the Dr. Jennifer Walthall, deputy state health commissioner. The source was likely brought into the daycare and was transmitted from person to person, according to Pontones. The source might likely never be identified, she continued. Meanwhile, a couple on the Wabash-Huntington county line said that they might have a pos-

sible lead. On Friday Aug. 21, the residents called The Paper of Wabash County and said that tE. Coli was found in their well system on their property earlier this year. The couple requested to remain anonymous to not cause panic among their neighbors and other locals and added that they are not sure that the well water was a source of the recent outbreak but wanted to urge some caution. “We wanted to at least inform the people here about what happened to us,” the resident said. “When I read that article, my thought was maybe one of these children that was in that school, maybe they live in the country and they have a well,” the resident’s wife said. “And it could have been that their well was contaminated and, being a little kid that don’t always wash their hands, maybe that’s how it got passed around.” It originally started in June, the resident told The Paper, when he wanted to remortgage his home with Veterans Affairs. As part of the remortgaging requirement, the well system had to be tested. “So they required a water test and it came back with E. coli so they wouldn’t accept me,” he continued. According to a report collected on June 23, the residents’ well tested positive for E. coli bacteria and coliform bacteria. A Veterans Affairs representative brought the couple bottled water because she was worried about their health and safety, he said, and then the residents started buying their own. However, by then it was too late. The resident reported that he and his son both had symptoms similar to an E. coli infection and reported the well test to their doctor. However, he contin(continued on page 8)

County OKs seeking Workforce Development Grant By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County Commissioners gave the green light for a local coalition to seek a $250,000 Workforce Development Grant. The county will join forces with Huntington County to seek one of eight grants from the Office of Community and Rural

Affairs. The permission had to come from Commissioners because grant recipients must provide a 20 percent match, of which at least 25 percent must be in funding, according to Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County. Because the grant would be a joint effort between Wabash and

Huntington counties, Wabash’s contribution would be $10, 000 in funding, which Commissioners approved. The program began shortly after Bill Konyha, former EDG President and CEO, took over as OCRA executive director in January. “What they’re doing is putting some Community Development Block Grant

money … to focus on economic development,” Gillenwater explained. “The biggest need in economic development today is training the workforce you need to have to be able to work at the jobs. It doesn’t do you any good to bring jobs if you don’t have anyone that can work there.” Wabash County chose to partner with Huntington County, Gillenwater continued,

“because obviously we share a lot of things in common with them.” A proposal for the grant is due Aug. 28, with the actual application due later in October. The grant, Gillenwater said in answer to a question from Commissioner Scott Givens, would be for adult education. “You have to be 18 and older (continued on page 21)

Two more Wabash homes to be demolished board will take quotes at its second meeting in September to have the work done. During the hearing on the Manchester Avenue property, two neighbors – James Hoefer and Lance Frank – also testified about the homes safety. The home’s owner, Theresa M. Hawn, was not present. “There’s two dead trees on the property,” Hoefer told the board. “When the big winds come as the season changes, it takes the top branches and they go over Mr. Frank’s house and hit my house and punch holes in the windows and sidings. “What I’m here for

Two more homes in the City of Wabash were ordered demolished by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety. One order, for a home at 409 Manchester Ave., came after a public hearing on unsafe buildings. The other for a home at 1207 Pike St., came after its owner, Arthur Wischman Jr., Fort Wayne, admitted the home was unsafe and should be demolished. The board gave Wischman 30 days to have the home demolished. If it isn’t the

is to ask the city to go ahead and take the trees down.” Frank said the trees are causing problems for his home, putting holes in the siding and damaging the roof. “The trees should be the priority,” he said. “The house is coming down, regardless. It’s going to fall in or you’re going to take it down. I’d like to see something happen with the trees so we can repair the house … We’re in a catch 22.” City Building Commissioner John Stephens told the board he has inspected the outside of the home which, he noted, “appears to be

vacant.” “The windows are falling out on the front of the house and the side of the house,” he said, adding that the roof appears to have collapsed in back of the house. He said the home is dilapidated and, while not a fire hazard, is a blight on the area, causing the surrounding home values to depreciate. He also said the home is a nuisance. As for the trees, Stephens said the trees are a danger and said the trees should be removed and the home demolished. To take care of the trees immediately, the board had to declare this as an emergency.

That would allow the city to receive bids to remove the trees before receiving bids to take the house down. “Those are big trees,” board member Greg Metz said. “If one of those trees come down, it’s not going to be just these folks that have a problem.” Hawn has 30 days to have the home demolished. Stephens also was ordered to obtain quotes to demolish the building so that if the home isn’t demolished by the owner, the city can proceed with the demolition. Those quotes will be received during the second meeting in September, and then

meetings, he noted the city can place a lien against the property and if sold, the lien will be repaid to the city. “If we can locate somebody and they have a source of funds, we can take them to court,” he continued. “One of the problems you have is if you’re talking about a company in Texas that doesn’t have a presence here in Indiana, you can get a judgement against them but actually getting money out of them is difficult. “If they have a presence in Indiana, you have a much better chance of collecting against them.”

Hawn and Biltmore Mortgage, which has the mortgage on the property, will receive a 10-day notice before the work begins. Wabash City Council member Joan Haag asked what recourse, if anything, the city has against out-of-town mortgage firms buying homes in Wabash, then letting them become uninhabitable. “The question is what do you mean by recourse,” City Attorney Doug Lehman said. “There’s nothing we can do to prevent that. They become responsible for it then.” As he said numerous times in past board and council

Martin Yale marks 75 years in business By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Workers, their family and friends, and civic leaders spent Friday afternoon and evening helping Martin Yale celebrate its 75th anniversary. The firm was founded in Chicago in 1940 by brothers Martin and Yale Blanc. The firm manufactured dark room equipment for the photo industry. Today the company makes a variety office equipment. On Friday, the company hosted an open house featuring food, games, factory tours and more.

“I think it’s incredible,” company president Greg German said of the firm’s milestone anniversary. He cited a 2013 Forbes Magazine story that noted 80 percent of all startup businesses fail within the first couple years. “You have to take that back 75 years ago, and just to stick around, I think is pretty impressive,” he said. “The other thing I think is impressive with this company is the different things it’s been involved with over the 75 years. Certainly, one of the mainstay products is the trimmer board.

The Green Board has been here for 65 of the 75 years. “But the other products that they’ve been in and out of over that time frame, and to have the insight to get into different businesses and to get out of is a testament (to the firm). “You have to have vision, and that vision has been with the company for 75 years, so it’s almost an obligation that the people running this company today have to have that vision in order to move and get into something different.” That vision continues today as the firm is getting into the con-

tract manufacturing business, working with firms around the area and as far north as Michigan. “If they outsource metal fabrication, light metal fabrication work, we’re very good at that,” German said. “As a matter of fact, a lot of the equipment that comes thorugh our operation and we fabricate 75 percent of our parts we make ourselves. “We’re very good at fabricating parts, so we’re going out to other companys and soliciting the business.” The reception has been decent, German said.

Frances Slocum DAR to meet By The Paper staff Wabash County Frances Slocum Chapter, DAR will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8, at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, 1241 Manchester Avenue,

Wabash. The program will be presented by Diane Knight, Northern District Director, on the “Founding Mothers – Women Who Raised Our Nation.” Knight is a member of the

General James Cox Chapter, DAR, Kokomo. Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend. DAR membership is open to any woman 18 years of age, who can prove lineal descent

from a patriot of the A m e r i c a n Revolution. Those having questions about their family history lineage information may contact Linda Thompson at 260-5634662 or Barbara Amiss at 260-982-4376.

“We’re working with one company,” he said, noting a second firm visited the plant last week. “They were very, very impressed, so we’ll see if we can

get their business as well.” But, German noted, he has a philosophy of “biting off only what I can swallow.” “So I don’t want to

get in with one company and then add two or three others, then the first one who took a risk on me, start letting them down.”

A 1974 graduate of Southern Illinois University, Williams earned his master’s degree from SIU in 1976 and his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in 1981. A scholar of American politics, Williams’ work has been published extensively. He is the author of one book and co-editor of two more. “He started teaching at Manchester in 1982 and has deep experience as a faculty leader, serving multiple terms as department chair, Faculty Executive Committee chair and Social Science Division chair,” said Tim McElwee, vice president for academic resources, in announcing the appointments. Thelma Rohrer, chair of the Department of Art and director of MU’s international studies and honors programs, is dean of the College

of Arts and Humanities. A 1984 Manchester graduate with degrees in art and German, Rohrer earned a master’s degree at Michigan State University and has studied at The Ohio State University, the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame. “With vast experience in international travel, Thelma has played an important role in encouraging MU students to study abroad and preparing them for that transformative experience,” McElwee said. “She is an enthusiastic teacher, a respected colleague, and an admired mentor.” Tim Ogden, professor and chair of the Department of Accounting and Business, is dean of the College of Business. A 1987 graduate of M a n c h e s t e r University, Ogden earned a master of business administration from Claremont Graduate University and a doctor of jurisprudence from the Indiana

University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis. In addition to experience in private law practice, Ogden has 25 years of experience teaching at Manchester. “He is highly respected as a faculty leader and has earned the admiration of colleagues and students alike,” McElwee said. Raylene Rospond of Fort Wayne is vice president for institutional effectiveness and was named dean of the new College of Pharmacy, Natural and Health Sciences in May. Huntington-area resident Allen Machielson was named dean of student experience in July. A sixth dean will oversee the Student Success Center. The reorganization makes it easier to add programs and help students succeed, further integrating academics and other aspects of student experience at Manchester, such as service learning and experiential learning.

NORTH MANCHESTER – Nine abandoned puppies were found June 16 next to a dumpster outside a North Manchester gas station. An employee brought the puppies, thought to be one week old, to the Wabash County Animal Shelter. The shelter was full at the time, but three employees took the

puppies home to care for them. The puppies needed feeding every two to three hours. The employees took them home at night and brought them to the shelter during the day. The workers’ efforts helped save the lives of eight of the nine puppies. Those that survived are on their way to their forever homes. While at the shelter, the puppies

received a variety of treatment, including being wormed, receiving distemper vaccines, Bordatella vaccine, and a treatment for fleas, ticks and internal parasites. Also, before being adopted, the animals were spayed or neutered.

The shelter spent more than $960 in puppy milk replacement formula to help save the animals. In all, the shelter paid $1,798 to save the animals. As per its policy, the shelter received $480 — $60 per puppy – to adopt out the

dogs. Shelter

officials

said that there is no doubt that the dogs were an unwanted litter, and that shows the importance of having the animals spayed or neutered.

City nixes plans for private mosquito spraying By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The City of Wabash’s plan to offer mosquito spraying for

special events are no more. At the Aug. 5 Board of Public Works and Safety meeting, the city broached an idea taking special

requests to spray for mosquitos prior to functions from nonprofit organizations. The board tabled the measure because board members Greg

Metz and Dee Byerly wanted some of the provisions in the measure changed. However, Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham, dur-

ing the Aug. 19 board meeting, said the city was no longer going to pursue the idea. “Although we have a permit to do citywide spraying, we

State says ‘no new updates’, couple finds E. coli in well... continued from the front page ued, the doctor never tested them for the illness. Both eventually returned to normal health. The resident’s wife did not report any illness. “I don’t know if it was related to it and I never had any pain, but I was feeling bad and then one night I just woke up and my stool was all bloody and I was bleeding,” the resident said. “So they took me to the hospital because I’ve had problems with my heart plenty of times … and they

found out I had two small bleeding ulcers. “I don’t know if it was E. coli but I’ve been drinking and bathing this water all that time.” After the initial tests, the residents also reported the tests to the county health department and the ISDH, which both stated that the departments could do nothing to help, according to the resident. The couple then attempted to treat the well system. “We then called the

well people and they came and treated it for E. coli,” the resident said. “Well, it didn’t work. They told us when we first moved here that it wasn’t a good well because it wouldn’t keep up, it didn’t have enough water.” Unsatisfied with the first well company’s service, the residents hired another man to check the well’s status. “He checked it and said it had gone dry, but he also tested it and it was still E.

coli,” the resident said. The new well man, who the resident did not wish to name, “shocked” the well, or treated it with chlorine and bleach. Then at the beginning of August, the residents had him drill a new well on their property. “They drilled a new one and they got a good well, they said,” the resident said. “We thought it was a good well of course because it runs 25 gallons per minute. It was good well and we

even drank it and they drank it when they did it.” Due to requirements from the resident’s bank, the new well also had to be tested. “So we had it tested and it came back … with coliform, which is a combination of a lot of things,” the resident’s wife said. The well man returned to treat the well again and take more tests. One test was sent to Wabash and while a second was sent Fort Wayne

for two different opinions. “They both came back with the same thing,” the resident said. “They said they’re this close to getting it cleared up,” the resident’s wife added. The well man shocked the well again on Aug. 21 with plans to flush it and retest the water after 24 hours. The resident and his wife contemplated holding off on contacting The Paper until after he tested

the water once more. “But then I thought, ‘Well that’s not fair. I should let you people know that there some other people that have got these problems,’” the resident said. “Our thought was that we should let someone know that we had this problem so maybe people in this area will read that and think, ‘Well maybe we should get our water tested,’” the resident’s wife added.

Miller’s hosts early Relay event By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Miller’s Merry Manor residents, staff and visitors released more than 40 balloons on Friday, Aug. 21, to honor of cancer patients, survivors and those who lost their battle with the disease. The event took place early Friday morning to support the upcoming Wabash County Relay for Life on Saturday, Aug. 29.

“We wanted to bring the Relay for Life to our residents,” event coordinator Jami Bartel told the Paper of Wabash. “Some of them can’t go down to Paradise Spring, so we started this three years ago and this is the best turnout we’ve had so far. “So it’s definitely growing, that’s for sure. I’m very proud of this event.” Prior to the release, Wabash City Council president Doug

Konkle presented a mayoral proclamation declaring Aug. 21 as the American Cancer Society and Miller’s Merry Manor of Wabash Mini Relay for Life. Konkle presented the proclamation on behalf of Mayor Robert Vanlandingham, who was unable to make the event. “In doing so, I urge citizens to celebrate cancer survivorship, remember loved ones lost to the disease, honor caregivers and

join the county of Wabash in fighting against cancer,” Konkel read. “Only together will we find a cure.” Following the release, the residents participated in the nursing home’s third annual Mini Relay, a one-lap walk around the facility’s courtyard. In addition to the balloon release, the nursing home’s staff also sold pulledpork sandwich meals to raise funds for its relay team,

Hoosiers can offer input on the DNR Division of Forestry’s 2015-2019 strategic plan at three public meetings in September, including one in Wabash. The plan can be accessed by visiting dnr.IN.gov/forestry . Click on the link for “Publications and Presentations.” DNR Forestry manages approximately 156,000 acres in 12 state forests and state recreation areas; manages the Classified Forest and Wildlands program, which includes more than 700,000 acres of private woodlands; grows and sells 3 million seedlings annually; and administers a statewide urban forestry program. “The Division of Forestry has more than a 100-year track record of sustainably managing public and private woodlands, or as we call them ‘working forests,’ “ said John Seifert, division direc-

tor. “We routinely seek public input. But since this is a five-year commitment, we want to go directly to the citizens to seek guidance on the current plan and to make sure we are doing it right.” Seifert will attend each meeting to facilitate discussion and receive customer feedback. He and other staff members will outline the plan, answer questions and take comments. The dates and locations are: Monday, Sept. 21, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at Indiana State Museum, 3rd floor Museum Conference Room, 650 W. Washington St., Indianapolis. Tuesday, Sept. 22, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at Honeywell Center, Nixon Room, 275 W. Market St., Wabash. Wednesday, Sept. 23, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at Cool Springs Education Center. The entrance to the center is located off of State Road 64, about 8 miles west of Huntingburg, on the left. State forests are

managed for multiple uses and benefits, including hunting, fishing, camping, horseback riding, hiking, mushroom hunting and picnicking. Other benefits include timber production; conservation of air, soil and water resources; and forest aesthetics. One way this strategic plan differs from previous plans is an emphasis on increasing and improving recreation opportunities on state forests. The plan is also seeking to support these activities with user fees, something DNR Forestry has done for many years on three properties but now intends to apply across the entire state forest system. Also new to this plan is supporting private lands woodland management with fees paid by people who use the services of district foresters. The services and fees are undecided at this time, and the division is looking for public input and direction on how to carry out this program.

It’s time for consolidation talks Dear Editor In 1963 I had the privilege to be chairman of the School Consolidation Organization for the schools in southern Wabash County. We conducted several meetings, including one with the Wabash City Schools Board. Although consolidation with the City Schools was considered, the patrons did not feel they were ready to make this step. As a result the Metropolitan School District was formed with Northfield located north of the Wabash River and Southwood south of the river. Since the

original consolidation, there have been additional reductions and mergers of the elementary schools. I believe all of this was for the betterment of education. Recently Bill Konyha of the Wabash School Board recommended the Metropolitan and Wabash schools consider talks of unification. I agree with Mr. Konyha, it is time for these talks. The Metropolitan School Corporation surrounds the City of Wabash and I believe the numbers of students are diminishing in size. But, most important is the

requirements of universities and colleges for entrance. It is my understanding these schools are requiring students have more foreign language, science, math and higher entrance scores. Does unification or consolidation mean we only have one school? Absolutely not. It does mean more efficiency in school administration and more offerings of educational opportunities by combining students for classes that the schools individually cannot offer. I believe the time has come that both city and county families need to take the

necessary steps to unify the Wabash area public schools. Wabash County is recognized statewide for its progressive approach. Why not expand that recognition by providing more educational opportunities, greater academic under girding, and improved financial efficiency? It is time to move ahead with conversations between the Wabash City Schools and Metropolitan School District and look for possibilities of unification. – Larry Curless, Wabash

Dear Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who was involved in planning and organizing the Dave Kunkel Cruisein and, also to all of those who participated in the event. It is exciting to see all of the beautiful cars (more than 460 cars and several motorcycles) and fun to visit with old friends and meet new people at this time. So many people commented on all of the activities which were going on in our beautiful little town over this special weekend: the car show, the her fest, the Farmers Market, trolley rides, and so forth. All of the antique stores and

new little downtown shops were opened too; there were activities for everyone to enjoy. As you know, the funds raised from this event go to the MDA for research into ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). The cause of this disease is still uncertain so there is no cure at the present time. Those persons afflicted by this disease and their families face new difficulty each day as the disease causes muscle weakness, paralysis, and ultimately, respirator y failure. One day the afflicted person may be able to dress himself, the next day he may not. The family feels helpless as they watch their loved one suffering from the dev-

astating progress of the disease. Let us hope and pray that through research, scientists are able to fine the cause and then a cure for ALS. In closing, we would like to express our appreciation to The Dave Kunkel Foundation, the sponsors of the cruise-in, the Honeywell Center and Wabash Elks Lodge, our local businesses and all of you for working together for the good of our community and to raise money for charity. As God has blessed us, may we continue to be a blessing to those in need. May God grant you love, peace and health. – The Dave Kunkel family

One nation under God Dear Editor: This nation was founded on JudeoChristian principles and values, by our forefathers, of whom were God-fearing, Bible believing men who prayed to and worship God on a daily basis. Our forefathers even believed that our rights were God-given, and that the most important right that we have a human beings is the Freedom of Religion. Many of our ancestors came here for the Freedom of religion and to worship God open and freely without any interference from anyone or

anything. Many of our founding documents have references to God. The Constitution guarantees that everyone has the right of freedom of religion under the First Amendment. There is a phrase in the First Amendment that states “or prohibit the free exercise thereof.” The purpose of the First Amendment is to protect and not prevent public religious expressions. The establishment clause was put in the First Amendment to prevent a national

denomination or national church. The words separation of church and state are not found anywhere in the constitution, but in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson. How can something be deemed unconstitutional if it isn’t in the Constitution? Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. (Psalm 33:12A). The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God. (Psalm 9:17) – Mike Peare, Huntington.

MU Pharmacy Program receives $60,000 medical research grant From the Manchester University News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — The National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation has awarded the M a n c h e s t e r U n i v e r s i t y Pharmacy Program a $60,000 research grant to study the use and potential of pharmacogenomics in patient care at pharmacies. Pharmacogenomic s is the study of how a person’s genes affect their response to medication. It holds the promise of

tailor-made treatment for individuals. Working in conjunction with pharmacogenomics research company RxGenomix, the Pharmacy Program will develop and launch a pilot program to provide pharmacogenomics services in community pharmacies – including training pharmacists about collecting DNA samples, interpretation of patient results, counseling and collaborating with prescribers to help optimize patient medication regimens. “Pharmacists clearly have a lead-

ing role to play in the appropriate application of pharmacogenomics in patient care,” said David Kisor, B.S. Pharm.D., in the announcement. He is professor and chair of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the M a n c h e s t e r U n i v e r s i t y Pharmacy Program. “Education of pharmacists to best implement pharmacogenomics services and to educate other health care professionals and the public is critical. This study works toward that end,” he said.

Local YMCA event gathers volunteers for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;day of serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

... continued from the front page Mississinewa Reservoir after the local lake flooded earlier this summer from a series of rainfall. Other worksites included the Access Youth Center, Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Merry Manor, Old LaFontaine Cemetery, the Wabash County Historical Museum and Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Residential and Family Services. Prior to the event, Freeman told the Paper of Wabash County that people wanted to register and volunteer with Togetherhood because â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wabash is a great community and

thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of need.â&#x20AC;? On Sunday, he said that the turnout was great, despite originally hoping for upwards of 400 participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nationally, the average for a Togetherhood program was 20 volunteers so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still 15 times larger than any other one in the nation,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good day and with the rain forecasted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually happen but it did look like it was going to rain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not surprised that we were down today.â&#x20AC;? Freeman said he

wanted thanked the volunteers for their time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the people giving their time, this stuff doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen and the world continues to fall into disrepair,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The group that I worked with at O. J. Neighbours they did

in three hours what would have taken staff of several teachers two to three weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So what we did for that group,â&#x20AC;? he continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is we gave those teachers a freedom to make that event, that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be working on better for the students instead of

having to spend the time cleaning things out and putting stuff back together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thank you for coming out. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the world better. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made Wabash better. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thank you enough.â&#x20AC;?

Tree-stand and ground-blind rules change By The Paper staff The date range to set up and leave portable tree stands and ground blinds on state and federal lands is now noon on Sept. 15 through Jan. 10 the next year. Another change

this year is that hunters now can mark their stands and blinds with their DNR- issued customer identification number or their name and address. The previous rule allowed hunters to leave portable tree

stands or blinds overnight on state and federal properties between Sept. 1 and Jan 10. and required the owner to mark the blind with name, address and telephone number. Any tree stand or ground blind placed

before noon on Sept. 15 on state- and federal-owned lands is subject to removal. All blinds and stands must be removed by Jan. 11. Tree and ground blinds cannot be permanent. Fasteners or pole climbers cannot

enter the tree more than one-half inch. For questions on hunting regulations at a specific property, contact each property directly. You can find a list of all DNR-owned properties at dnr.IN.gov/3233.htm

Friday Night Lights on Wabash WebTV

Apaches hold off Boone Grove By Gary Andrews The Wabash Apache football team made Boone Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long trip down a longer ride home Friday night as the Apaches grabbed a 7-0 lead in the first quarter and never gave up the lead in a 13-6 defensive battle. Boone Grove would have the first possession and ran just three plays when Reese McDonald picked off a pass to give the Apaches good field position at the 47. After an incompletion and two penalties quarterback Sammy Hipskind found Jason Shidler for a 55 yard scoring strike and a 70 lead. Boone Grove would close the gap just five seconds into the second quarter with a score, but Jordan Holley blocked the extra point to preserve a 7-6 lead. With

3:17 left in the quarter Owen Yeadon split the uprights with a 27 yard field goal as Wabash led 10-6 at the half. As it had in the first half, both defenses dominated in the third quarter as the two teams played to a stalemate with the Apaches still clinging to a 10-6 lead with a quarter to go. The two teams would play the field position game in the fourth quarter with each punter pinning the other team deep in their own territory. Midway through the quarter Luke Proctor broke loose on a punt return, breaking away to the 41 to set up an eight play drive that ended with a Yeadon 20 yard field goal with 1:05 left to make it 136. Boone Grove was pinned deep on the kick off and needed to go to the air with just 1:01 left. The Wabash

Cougar volleyball sets lofty goals for new season From the IUK News Bureau

KOKOMO — Indiana University Kokomo’s volleyball team sets its sights on a conference championship for the 2015 season. The team includes Southwood High School graduates Alexis Brickner and Kaley Harness, “We’re capable of doing it, and we want it badly,” said Rachel Allen, one of two seniors leading the team. “We have a lot to be proud of, and it’s only going to get better.” The team kicked off the season Aug. 19 with a 3-2 win at Goshen College, and will host its first home match Wednesday, Aug. 26 against Marian University, in the Cougar Gym. Coach Heather Hayes sees great potential in the team.

“They’ve set some lofty goals,” she said. “It will be neat to see them reach for those, and see if they come to fruition. We have the talent to compete, if we are healthy.” Hayes expects returning seniors Allen (Lizton/Tri-West HS) and Cortney Hanson (Logansport/Logansport HS), as well as junior Kaleigh Ensley (Fort Wayne/Snider HS) and sophomore Lindi Thomas (Parker City/Wapahani HS), to step into leadership roles. “I have asked more of them this season, and they are meeting the challenge,” Hayes said. “In terms of experience, they are all good leaders.” Allen has been on the team since it began, during the 2011 season, and Hanson joined in 2012. Both are amazed by the progress they’ve made in

five years. “The first year, it was a struggle,” said Allen. “To go from a 6-25 record to 25-8 last year is a pretty good feeling.” Hanson agreed, adding that she enjoys being a respected team in the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The team finished second in the regular season in 2014, and garnered many accolades — including Coach of the Year for Hayes, and Newcomer of the Year for Thomas. “This year, we want to be known for how hard we work, and how much intensity we bring to the court,” Hanson said. “We are determined to do what we can to win the conference, and go to nationals.” Hayes has seen development in all of her returning players. “They’ve grown and matured as athletes,” she said. “I’ve seen a lot

of growth in their approach to the game, and in their leadership style.” The five new players have fit in well, and bring much-needed height and depth to the team, she said. They include freshmen Elizabeth Schapker ( Wa d e s v i l l e / N o r t h Posey HS), Brook Karle (Crawfordsville/North Montgomery HS), Corinn Dennis (Fort Wayne/Snider HS), and Nicole Sandmann (West Harrison/East Central HS), along with Casie D i v i n e (Bloomfield/Easter n Greene HS) who previously played at Vincennes University. “To get to our goals, we needed more height, to better match up with our opponents,” Hayes said. They also add depth, which we really needed in a lot of our positions. This is a huge factor for us.”

The Indiana University Kokomo volleyball team has two Southwood High School graduates as members. Photo provided Ensley said the depth of talent motivates them all to work harder in practice. “You’re competing for positions, so you prac-

tice even harder than before,” she said. Additional veteran players are Casey C o l g a t e (Wanamaker/Lutheran

HS), Keeana Walton (Peru/Maconaquah HS), Maddison Taylor (Brown County/Brown County HS), and Elyse Younger (Fishers/Fishers HS).

THE PAPER

greying Maridieth Little could bear. A month ago, he had suffered a heart attack, but it was not just his heart that made him hesitate about going back; it was the way the U.S. school, its pupils and its tachers had developed over the years. Last week, 51year-old Maridieth Little, a high-schoolteacher for 17 years, a principal for another 16, gave details. “Boys and girls talk back in school nowadays without even knowing it. They talk back at home, or they wouldn’t be doing it in school. They have too much money, I tested it out one day, I stood up before the assembly and asked who had change for $10 bill. Too many hands went up. All the children carry folding money.” “American children chew too much gum when they come to school. It isn’t the gum-it is what the gum-chewing signifies. Gum-chewing in school is like a kid studing in an easy chair alongside the radio. And cigarets. It is pitiful to go to some schools and see the children whip out packs of cigarets as they leave the building.” Who is responsible? Usually the parents, and often the teachers; “The kids themselves are all right.. Some of the teachers are bigger problems than the kids. They fail to carry out the things they teach during the day. The teachers shouldn’t punch a time clock and sweep out the children at the end of six hours. The school building isn’t a factory. Teachers should make home contacts, but you see little of that any more. They should make better daily presentations. That is

what has led to haphazard classe.” “The trouble with many teachers is that they don’t know how to teach. A good teacher teaches to the saturation point but not beyond it. But this is a lost art.” “ There is more to be taught than the three Rs. There is respect, dignity, discipline, responsiblities, and manners. But,” said Mr. Little sternly, rocking back and forth in his parlor chair, “they are not being taught. Give the children more discipline in the home and they would have more in the school. Confused students are being turned out into a confused world.” This was in Time, June 9 1947 “Ruthanna thought this could be wrote today.” SOUTHWOOD E L E M E N TA RY SCHOOL Knights for week of Aug. 10-14 are: From Mrs Tyson: Peyton Wood (1st

Talk of unification, or consolidation, of the schools continued on Monday Aug. 17 at the Wabash City School Board meeting. Board member Bill Konyha broached the topic again during the member’s comments section of the meeting stating that while the schools are “doing alright, we can’t do enough alone.”

“Two communities with two schools, at the very least MSD and Wabash City Schools have to contemplate unification, come together and discuss potential unification and what that means,” he continued. “I would like to point out that I can’t possibly go without doing a little bit of research … about our unification issue,” he said. “The research that we’ve done over the past two weeks in-

dicates that, since 1980, Wabash County has lost 12.4 percent of our population.” According population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, the county’s population dropped by 4,560 residents from 36,640 in 1980 to 32,080 in 2015, or approximately 12.4 percent. Konyha said he believes some of the information could be “faulty.” “I think it’s probably going to be about

32,400 because it was about that last year and I don’t think we lost 400 people,” he explained. Nevertheless, Konyha continued, the county’s population has dropped significantly in 35 years. “During the same time period, between MSD and Wabash City Schools, we’ve lost 38 percent of our enrollments,” he said, “and what that tells me is that we’ve got a lot of (continued on page 33)

‘Unification’ talks continue at Wabash school board... continued from page 32 old people and we don’t have young people who are having children.” Konyha named urbanization as a possible cause for the population drop. “Nationwide, right now, more than half of our population resides in urban areas for the

first time in their history,” he said. “Economists are forecasting by the year 2050 75 percent will. “It’s just as plain as day,” Konyha continued, “that communities that don’t do all they can do to make themselves attractive and livable will simply

cease to exist as communities. A lot of people make lots of efforts so that Wabash and Wabash County both won’t be those victims, that we work hard to develop the quality of place that will attract young professionals, young people with disposable incomes,

Field day gives glimpse at new agricultural products By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Inclement weather has made this year a tough one for farmers, but, hopefully, farmers could gain a better piece of mind after attending Brodbeck Seeds’ annual field day on Wednesday, Aug. 19, according to Doug Rice, general manager. More than 100 local and out-of-state farmers alike gathered at Brodbeck Seeds’ facility located on State Road 13 to attend the event which featured the latest in seed products and crop-growing assistive technology, such as drones. “We’ve got people here from Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio,” Rice told The Paper of Wabash County. “The majority of them are from Indiana, probably within a 100-mile radius of Wabash, but we’ve got customers from all four of those states here today.” On Aug. 12, Wabash

County was among 53 Indiana counties that the U.S. Department of Agriculture declared as primary natural disaster areas due to damages and losses caused by excessive rain and flooding. Rice said that Brodbeck Seeds hopes that some of the farmers “can leave some of that behind.” “They can get a glimpse of new products and new technologies that Brodbecks is bringing to market,” he continued. “They can get excited of opportunities they may have in the future to increase their profitability or bottom-line by growing our products. “We try to bring a lot of new information to the farmers each year to show them how we’re progressing, we’re advancing and trying to create a win-win situation for them and us.

MU bicyclist struck From The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester University welcomed returning students back to campus and new students to their new adventure last Saturday. But for two students, it wasn’t the morning they were expecting. During the move-in process, a first-year student on a bicycle was struck by another first-year student with a car in front of Oakwood

Hall on College Avenue. Due to HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Laws, Manchester University was unable to release any more information on the incident. However, the University encourages all drivers traveling through the campus to be aware of pedestrians throughout the campus and yield to those crossing streets at the marked crosswalks.

ucts.” In addition to visiting various information and craft booths, attending farmers also viewed the company’s crops, which featured the newest line of corn and soybean products. Patrick Nicodemus, a farmer from Columbia City temporarily located in North Manchester, attended the event with his son, Maynard, 3, to learn about the company’s newest line of seed products. “I’ve learned about different products I haven’t used yet as well as about the variety of the other products here today,” Nicodemus said. “This event has definitely helped in the decision making process of purchasing some of these items.”

young people who have children or are going to have children. “It’s really pretty critical that we develop a reputation as a community that val-

ues education plus the 529 program.” Konyha said the decision to unify does not have to happen next week, next month or next year.

“But we’ve got to come together,” he continued, “and the first question we have to answer is ‘Should MSD and Wabash City Schools become

Wabash Community Schools?’ And that’s a question that can only be answered if there’s a dialogue. “I urge the dialogue.”

THE PAPER

August 26, 2015

Look toward next year, local farmers told By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com No two years are ever alike, so farmers should look toward next year’s planting season. That was the message stressed several times Friday during the annual AgVenture McKillip Seeds field day. McKillip President Mike McKillip stressed that fact during welcoming comments to the several hundred visitors. It was reiterated later during a breakout session by Jeff Shaner, AgVenture’s seed technology manager soybean/alfalfa lead. “Last weekend I was father of the bride; I thought I was king of the world,” he said, adding that he had to leave the field day early to travel to Illinois for a funeral. “My point being, my week is a lot like your farming experience the last couple of years. “One year you might feel like you’re the best farmer in the world. And maybe there’s some of you here who feel like this year you might be one of the worst.” Shaner talked about a motorcycle accident that happened a decade ago, in which he suffered serious injuries. “I wasn’t sure what my future would be at that point,” he continued. “I said, ‘Jeff, are you dead yet?’ Jeff answered ‘I’m not.’ “So I said, ‘OK, let’s make a decision to live, and we’re going to live well. For those of you who are struggling this year, and I know it’s not all of you because some of you have good crops, but some of you are going to feel like you’re in intensive care when you run the combine.

You’re going to be injured financially, and you’re pride’s going to be hurt, too.” But there is good news, Shaner said. “Let’s make a decision that we’re going to live in this financial situation you’re in, and next year you’re going to live well,” he said. “I like the aspect of what we do as a company, using the team around us to help advise you to go with gusto for the best you can do for your farm to achieve top production and top profitability.” Shaner and other company representatives discussed a variety of topics, including new technology and new weed control agents expected on the market shortly. One key factor, according to Mike Reed of Bayer CropScience, is China. The longer it takes that nation to approve some of the weed control chemicals for use there, the longer it will take for companies to put them on the market here. That is because, he noted, China is the largest importer of soybeans in the world. Also speaking during the event were Dr. Mark Jacques, AgVenture corn research manager, and McKillip Seed Sales Manager Mitch Snyder. Troy McKillip, Director & AgVenture Yield Specialist, also discussed the various corn and soybean seeds the company had available for next year, looking at their various qualities. Field day participants also heard from Curt Campbell, who conducted a Private A p p l i c a t o r Recertification Program, as well as Steve O’Neill of Corn Capital Innovations.
