Officials pleased with 2017 fair week By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County 4-H officials were pleased with the 2017 edition of the Wabash County 4-H Fair. It was a good week, Angela Christopher, Purdue Extension Wabash County 4-H Youth Educator, and Jeff Michel, Wabash County 4-H Council President, agreed Friday night, July 21, during an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “The kids have done a great job,” Christopher said. “We tweaked the schedule on a couple of things, and sometimes you think, ‘Hey, we’ve got this all figured out,’ but you never know for sure. “We’ll keep working to make it the best possible.” One glitch in the schedule was Thursday’s contesting portion of the 4-H Horse and Pony Show. The contesting portion of the show was postponed, with fair officials citing safety concerns in a letter sent to participants and the media. The letter noted that the midway rides were too close to the arena. Officials have promised to reschedule the contesting event. “I’m really proud of the kids and the work they’ve done, and their attitude this week,” Christopher said. “I like their attitude this week, especially with the heat and their efforts to take care of their animals.” She also praised the various volunteers who work to make sure the fair is a success. Their help hasn’t gone unno(continued on page 5)

Participants in the Round Robin Showmanship program attempt to line up goats during the competition on Thursday.

Gottschalk captures title of Round Robin Showman By Joseph Slacian and Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com Noell Gottschalk was named the Grand Supreme Showman on Thursday evening, July 20, during the Round Robin Showmanship contest. Noell competed against five other Supreme Showman contestants to test their skills at handling animals with which they are familiar, as well as with which they may not be so familiar. The contestants were judged with the way they were able to control goats, swine, sheep, dairy cows, beef cows and horse and pony. Noell said her brother encouraged her to try her hand at the Supreme Showman contest during the swine show. She said the goat was the hardest animal to show during the contest, while swine was “obviously” her favorite. Others competing in the Round Robin Showmanship contest were: Audrey Wilcox, Supreme Showman in the Goat Show. Makenna Dawes, Supreme Showman in the Dairy Show. Addy Rosen, Supreme Showman in the Sheep Show.

An automobile dismantling and storage yard received a special exception on Thursday, July 20, from the Wabash Board of Zoning Appeals. The board approved the measure 4-0, with board member Todd Titus absent. The facility will be located at Metal Source, 1773 S. Wabash St. Attorney Josh Petruniw, representing Metal Source owner Ben Gebhart, said the dismantling and storage facility would be located on two parcels that are approximately 26 acres each, according to minutes from the meeting. The special exception, the minutes noted, was so Metal Source could purchase and recycle the vehicles. The business must obtain a state license for the work, but must first have the special exception from the city. He told the board the new venture is not intended to be a junkyard, per se, with old automobiles stacked around the grounds for weeks. The firm will dismantle the vehicles quickly. Questioned by board member Larry Hoover as to what dismantling of vehicles consists of, the attorney, according to the minutes, said the firm will scrape the metal from the vehicles to recycle it. Board member Doug Adams asked what happens to seats and other non-metal parts that aren’t recycled, the minutes show. Gebhart said those items will remain with the vehicle and sold to a shredder. However, he was not able to say how many cars would be at the facility at one time. At least two members of the public spoke about the matter. Paul McKnight asked about the noise level. According to the minutes, no response was given. However, City Attorney Randi Zimmerman-Irgang, who was filling in for regular BZA attorney Dough Lehman, said if the firm was to put a shredder in, it may have to reappear before the BZA for approval. Another area resident, Mike Hornsteen, asked how and where the vehicles would enter the facility. (continued on page 5)

Frosty and Friends to dedicate facility on Saturday By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

IJAMSVILLE — Frosty and Friends Exotic Bird Rescue will host an open house and dedication on Saturday, July 29. The rescue, which is now home to about 115 exotic birds, was located in a

former church building in Ijamsville since the fall of 2014. Founders Mark and Deb Henderson have spent the last several years raising funds and refurbishing a Morton building just north of the old church to serve as the sanctuary. It is at that building in which the open house and dedication will take place. The grand opening will take place from 2-4

p.m. Saturday, with the dedication ceremony at 3 p.m., Mrs. Henderson said. “Following that, we’re going to start being open to the public,” she continued. “We’re going to start probably just being open on Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m., just to get the birds used to people. “Then, hopefully, we’ll be able to be open more than that, depending on vol-

unteers.” The facility can also arrange private tours for various organizations wishing to see the facility. As for the former church building, Henderson said, “We’d like to have interns from the various colleges and universities. If we could make that a res(continued on page 5)

The Wabash County Historical Museum has partnered with local firms to introduce a new experience within the Museum. Over the past several weeks, the museum has installed 11 digital displays that are placed in a variety of exhibit spaces and will engage guests with a new delivery of local history and oral stories.

“We are continually investigating how we can share more local history with our guests of all ages and there is no better way to share history than through first person stories,” said Mitch Figert, Museum Executive Director. After visiting other larger institutions, the Museum’s leadership team worked with local technology firm, Skyline B u s i n e s s Technologies owned by Shayne Balding, to find a solution that would complement the Museum’s current exhibit design. “The museum is a unique treasure in Downtown Wabash

and I am excited to work with their team to introduce new technology to enhance their exhibits and expand their educational programming,” Shayne Balding, Skyline B u s i n e s s Technologies. The digital displays will serve a variety of purposes from sharing upcoming events throughout the community, guiding guests through the museum, and, most exciting, the ability to share video-based oral history stories from local individuals. To debut this project, the museum recently recorded sev-

These stories will be displayed on a digital display in the Museum’s newly refreshed military exhibit. Once on display, guests will be able to listen and view these stories and connect them with

the artifacts on display. “With a limited footprint and over 95 exhibits we have to get creative in ways to expand our current offerings and this use of technology will add an exciting and important element to our key exhibits,” said Figert. The video interviews will also be stored in the Richard E. Ford Archives and Research Center, located in the Museum, and will be made available for research purposes for current and future generations. As this program continues, additional oral history will be collected on topics such as agriculture, local sports history, and architecture.

Correction

It was incorrectly reported in the July 19 edition of The Paper of Wabash County that the Wabash City Council presented Michael Beauchamp on Monday, July 10. In actuality, the award presented to Beauchamp was from the Wabash H i s t o r i c Preservation Commission. It was also incorrectly reported that Susan Stewart said, “But through Cathy’s (DraegerWilliams, state archeologist) help…” In actuality, Stewart was referring to Cathy Wright of Indiana Landmarks.

Commissioners modify tattoo ordinance By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

Tattoo and body piercing establishments in Wabash County may soon see a decrease in their yearly permit fees. The Wabash County Board of Commissioners adopted General Ordinance 2017-85-03 at its Monday, July 24, meeting, which amends GO 2015-85-3 Sections 23.1.2 and 23.2.4 to lower permit fees for businesses with no violations. “The Health Department asked that you change some permit fees,” County Attorney Steve Downs said at the meeting. “Rather than the same fee every year to renew, if the tattoo

facility does not have a violation within a 12-month period, the fee is reduced for subsequent years.” The original ordinance established a $750 yearly permit for a facility (Section 23.1.2), and a $250 “Tattoo Artist Per mit/Body Piercing Permit” for those not working under a permitted facility (Section 23.2.1). Both types of permits expire on Dec. 31 of the receiving year. The new ordinance raises the initial fee for a facility to $1,000, but decreases it to $500 per year if the facility has no health code violations. Artist permits remain at $250 initially, then drop to $200 if the artist has

no health code violations in the permitted year. Both changes state that violations will revert the permit cost to the full amount. The commissioners adopted the ordinance after suspending the rules to approve a first and second reading. Additional news from the commissioners’ meeting included the second quarter report from Wabash County Transit, a request for a new ordinance regarding detours and county roads, and the weekly jail report. Bev Ferry, of Living Well in Wabash County, informed the commissioners that Wabash County

Transit is on track for its 2017 budget, and that the organization’s biggest challenge currently is the detours on major roadways throughout the county. Additionally, she said that demand is changing the way that Wabash County Transit does business. “We have opened up our route a little bit in the morning. There’s so much ride demand for employment going from Wabash to North Manchester that we now start picking up at 5:40 in the morning,” Ferry said. “These are people that do not have reliable vehicles. In some instances, you have somebody who’s still working who is a senior, and

they ride by donation, but the other people are paying the full fare.” She also noted that the organization will begin using its new deviated fixed point routes between North Manchester and Wabash, rather than just within in the city as it previously intended. “We think, right now, it will help us serve people better if we focus on the North Manchester and back route first,” she said, noting that demand from the town is primarily a result of employment, medical and educational transportation needs. Additionally, Ferry said that, per state regulations, she and Commissioner

Barry Epply will meet in August to take a detailed look at the organization’s financials, rather than doing so at the commissioners’ meeting. Sheriff Bob Land asked that the commissioners adopt a blanket ordinance requiring semi trucks and other large vehicles to abide by posted detour routes, rather than using county roads. Land said that he and County Highway Superintendent John Martin have both received multiple calls regarding semis using county roads rather than the posted detours for State Roads 13 and 15. “If we could just do a blanket ordinance stating that if

there are any detours in Wabash County, you have to follow that way,” Land said. Givens said that he has also received calls regarding semis unnecessarily using county roads, and that he agreed with the idea. Downs said that he would have to talk to Land and Martin regarding the specifics of the proposal before saying whether such an ordinance could legally be adopted. For the jail report, Land said that, as of July 24, there are 85 inmates being held in the Wabash County Jail, with an additional 43 in Miami County, seven in Wells County and nine in Elkhart County, for a total of 144.

Shriners plan parade on Aug. 5 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A Shriners Parade will take place in downtown Wabash on Aug. 5. The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety approved a special event application for the parade when it met on Thursday, July 20. The application was one of six approved by the board at its bi-weekly meeting. The parade will begin at 5 p.m., according to the application. It will travel from Carroll Street, beginning at the intersection of Carroll and Canal streets. It will then travel down Canal to Allen Street, then north to Allen Street, and west on Market

Mayor Scott Long said the city also sent a copy of the application to the Indiana Department of Transportation, notifying it the pending closure since it involved portions of state highways. In an email from INDOT, department re presentatives wrote, “Have a great parade.” Other special event applications approved during the meeting were: The closure of Market Street between Cass and Carroll streets for the Kunkel Cruise-in on Aug. 18-19. Guardians of the Children motorcycle ride on Aug. 19. The ride will leave Brandt’s Harley-

Davidson and travel north on State Road 15. It will receive help from the Wabash Police Department exiting the Brandt’s parking lot. The closure of Miami Street between Canal and Market streets from 4-9 p.m. July 28 for a concert at the Charley Creek Inn

idence, we could give them a place to live. “But,” he quickly added, “we have a lot of work to do. We’re going to be a work in progress. That’s a given.” The couple does not yet have internships planned with any colleges or universities. “That’s because they like to see what they’re supporting, and up until this next weekend they haven’t really had an opportunity to do that,” Henderson said. “So, by opening the doors we hope to get people more familiar with what we’re doing and educate them. Hopefully we can gain their support.”

He said the facility has had to turn birds away. “It’s not getting more birds,” he noted. “But you have to take care of them. You have to be able to feed them. Pay for vet care. We’re limited by funding, of course.” Henderson forewarned those planning to attend the open house that touring the facility will be “a little bit noisy.” The birds are familiar with the Hendersons, but squawk when strangers enter. “They don’t know you,” he said. “But they’re getting better. That’s part of the reason it took so long to

open to the public. Some of these birds have been abused so much. When someone new comes in they’re scared to death and they get pretty upset. “Over the last couple of years we’ve had visitors come in and they’re getting a little more accustomed to them.” Both said getting this close to their dream of opening the facility is encouraging. “Not too many people get to have their dream come true,” Mrs. Henderson said, with Henderson quickly adding, “and we get to do it together.”

The couple started rescuing birds in 2005, with Frosty being the first. He still lives in the sanctuary. It was in 2010 that they received a nonprofit status. “We outgrew our house real quick,” Mrs. Henderson said with a laugh. She said the facility can use volunteers to help with the birds. “We can use anyone that’s not afraid of birds or dogs,” she joked. Frosty and Friends Exotic Bird Rescue is located at Wabash County Roads 950 N and 200 W. Its telephone number is 260330-4820.

Health Dept. unveils new public access website By The Paper staff

The Wabash County Health Department Food Division is now using a new program to record their inspections. The Digital Health Department is a web

based inspection tool that grants users the ability to see food inspections after the required 10-day hold. Within those 10 days operators/owners of the establishments are allowed to provide written responses to the inspection reports. Those

responses, if submitted, become part of the official inspection record. By Indiana state statue, after 10 days, all records are public record and are allowed to be viewed. The Food Division has been using the new program since

May 30, and has found that the new tool is a huge benefit to the public. Rich Mofield, the Environmental Food inspector worked closely with the Digital Health Department to design a program that streamlined inspections as well as recorded any and all violations. This tool allows not only the business owners to have instant access to their own inspections but allows for the general public to view the food establishment inspections from their home computers or mobile devices. Currently a link to the new program can be found on the county website: http://foodservices.wabashcounty85.us. “The program is a positive shift in the effort to make our department as transparent as possible and give the public

access to our records in an easy to use format,” Mofield said. Currently the Digital Health Department is working with the Environmental Health Division to design a program that will allow the public to view all the historical onsite sewage records. Septic records are often

requested by property owners, banks for home loans, contractors, and real estate offices. This program will allow the public to access the records in order to do their own searches. Wabash County Health Department is determined to make the information accessible in a plat-

form that is easy to use. The public is invited to visit the website and give feedback to either M o f i e l d (rmofield@wabashcounty.in.gov) or to the Environmental Health Specialist, Jennifer Scott (jscott@wabashcounty.in.gov).

It’s not our office. It’s the volunteers that make it happen.” Mary Guisewhite, the 2017 Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen, also said she enjoyed fair week. “I probably enjoyed

sitting through the livestock shows the most,” she said. “But I also enjoyed the hog wrestling (on Thursday) night as well.” A 10-year 4-H member, Guisewhite’s projects fell in the non-livestock area, so watching the judges and fellow 4-Hers perform in the show ring was a learning experience for her. “I learned a whole bunch,” she said. A Wabash High School graduate, she

is one of the first WHS students in recent memory to be crowned fair queen. “It makes me feel honored to have such an awesome opportunity to be involved in this,” she said. “To have a chance to be the first one (from WHS to serve) is a great opportunity for me.” Guisewhite will represent Wabash County in the Indiana State Fair queen pageant in January.

Arc of Wabash County honors 12 at annual banquet By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Two Wabash-based businesses and 10 individuals were honored Tuesday evening, July 18, at the Arc of Wabash County annual Dinner and Meeting. Arc of Wabash County is a human service agency that provides services and programs for youth and adults with disabilities. The evening served to update the organization’s board of directors and clients on the agency’s programs. In majority, however, the agency used the dinner to recognize clients and the organization’s supporters. “In addition to the families, staff and board members involved in Arc of Wabash County, the success of an organization depends on the help of many caring people, businesses, churches, service clubs and other groups in the community,” Sam Knight, Arc Board of Directors President, said. “This night we want to recognize people that have been especially supportive of Arc and individuals served by our organization.” Knight presented the first award, the Board Service Award, to out-going Board member Bob Ross. “Arc of Wabash County is a private, nonprofit corporation governed by a volunteer board of directors,” Knight said. “Board members are elected for three year terms and can only serve two terms, or six (years) consecutively. “Bob Ross has served for the past six years,” he continued. “He served three of those years as vice chair, three years on planning committee, four years on legal governmental affairs committee, two years on membership committee and four years on Arc’s personnel committee. Bob’s been a very resourceful board member and he will be missed.” Nancy Hoffman, the agency’s former President and CEO, presented three awards to recognize members of the community, starting with

the 2017 Benefactor of the Year Award. “Arc’s 2017 Benefactor of the Year Award is being presented to Mike and Angie B e a u ch a m p, ” Hoffman said. “Both Mike and Angie have served Arc well over many years. … Thank you so much for what you have done for Arc and what you have done for individuals with disabilities.” Hoffman next presented the 2017 Community Award to a Wabash service that has treated the organization’s clients and staff “tenderly and respectfully.” “Believe it or not, many of the individuals in Arc’s programs and services, especially in our supported residential program, have no family at all or may have a distant relative who really prefers not to have responsibility regarding the individual,” she said. “So when that happens, Arc becomes their family. This also means that we at Arc sometimes end up having to help make end of life decisions, including the fining of funerals. “When this happens, it is a heartwrenching experience for our staff and anyone who has ever had a loved one pass away knows just how expensive funerals and burials can be. So this evening, we choose to honor Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service. “Steven Hentgen and all the people at Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service have been absolutely wonderful for years about the offering us guid-

Arc of Wabash County recognized seven of its members for their hard work and positive attitudes at the organization’s annual Dinner and Meeting on Tuesday, July 18. Following the ceremony, the award recipients posed for a photo with their plaques. Recipients included (from left) Community Employee of the Year Kristen Leming, Personal Growth Award winner Heather Thrope, Shelter Worker of the Year Autumn Allen, Outstanding Merit winner Mark Keiffer, Courage and Bravery Award winner Erin Reahard, Best Attendance Award winner Jeff Morris and Volunteer of the Year Tasha Legg.

Over the years, Ford Meter Box has been so good to Arc in so many ways. … During this past year, subcontract work from Ford Meter Box made up 49 percent of our total

subcontracts.” Program director Lindsay Swihart presented seven clientele awards, which provide special recognition to those that have exemplified factors such as personal growth, courage and bravery, and outstanding merit throughout the past year. “Every year, we recognize people who are enrolled in our programs and services,” Swihart said. “The people we serve are the reason we have this organization. We are very proud of each of them, their accomplishments over the past year and we appreciate how hard they’ve worked to be successful in these areas of their lives.” Heather Thorpe received the Personal Growth Award for she “has shown noticeable, personal growth over the past year in one or more areas of their life,” according to Swihart.

Arc of Wabash County honors 12 at annual banquet ...continued from page 5 “(Thorpe) demonstrates maturity and a willingness to deal with the demands of everyday life,” she continued, later adding, “The award for personal growth is being presented to someone that I see as a delightful, young woman, whose personality is really starting to show in every day interactions with her coworkers and staff. She comes to work with a smile on her face and always has a positive attitude. … She is a hard worker and her confidence

has increased significantly this year, which has led to her being more independent and willing to try new things.” Swihart presented the Volunteer of the Year Award to Tasha Legg. “Staff members look for a person to receive this award who has chosen to give back to the community and to learn work skills by volunteering for a local, non-for-profit organization with support from Arc’s staff,” Swihart said. “(Legg) is dependable, hard

working and willing to do all that is asked by volunteering organizations.” Autumn Allen received the Shelter Worker of the Year Award. “When deciding on this award recipient, staff members look for someone who has improved in the quantity and quality of the work that they perform,” Swihart said. “They have good work habits, they are safety conscious, on time for job assignments and someone who pays attention to their work. They are a cooperative and dependable worker. So the person that we have chosen for this year is someone who’s newer to Arc, but she has been an awesome addition to us and even though she hasn’t come to Arc very long, she has demonstrated great strength and success in both her work and personal relationships.” The Community Employee of the Year Award was presented to Kristen Leming. “The winner of

this award is someone who is enrolled in Arc’s community employment program and has improved in the quantity and quality of the work they perform, has a good attendance record, works well with their coworkers, is a dependable work and acts as a role model for others who might someday choose to work in the community,” Swihart said, later adding Leming “has earned this award because she is dependable and takes initiative in what needs to be done. She is a hard, independent worker and always does what’s asked of her.” Jeff Morris accepted the Best Attendance Award. “This is a newer award,” Swihart said. “When deciding on this award, staff members look for someone who has excellent attendance obviously and demonstrates a high level of work ethic, consistently attending and working on their assigned responsibilities. … The recipient of this award is a steady and dependable worker. He has a strong work ethic and can do any job that is given to him. He arrives to work on time every day and is eager to get to his work station and get working.” The Courage and Bravery Award was presented to Erin Reahard. “To have courage and bravery means having the ability to do something that frightens you or having strength in the face of pain, grief or

may be quite and softspoken, but she is always watching and observing what is going on around her. She is a nurturer and wants to help people in any way she can.” Mark Keiffer received the final award for Outstanding Merit. “Our final award

County Soil and Water Conservation offers cost-share for cover crop applications By The Paper staff Two possible funding opportunities are available to Wabash County farmers for cost-share assistance toward fall cover crops, the Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) announced Monday, July 24. The funding is available to farmers located in the Beargrass Creek or the Wabash River Watersheds in Wabash County and currently use or have ever thought about applying cover crops. For those located in the Wabash River

Watersheds, in 2015 through the Clean Water Indiana (CWI) grant program the Wabash County SWCD and the Miami County SWCD were awarded a $75,000 grant for cover crop application to be spent over the next three years. The local SWCD have funds left that are secured and there will be costshare on cover crop applications this fall, according to officials. The maximum amount of acres that farmers in this area can apply for is 100 acres with the costshare reimbursement is $20 an acre. Farmers in the

Beargrass Creek Watershed, which is located within the Middle Eel, are able to apply for a different grant. The district is now taking applications for the IDEM Clean Water Act Section 319 Grant cost-share funds through Manchester University. These

funds are for Cover Crops with reimbursement of $45 an acre. Cover crops are very beneficial to decrease soil erosion, increase soil fertility, improve water infiltration and boost over-all soil health, according to SWCD officials. The Wabash County SWCD Board

All of the money earned is returned to local Lions Clubs in the form of $750 matching grants to help with local projects. Over the years, the Urbana Lions Club has been given more than $6,000 in grants to help with the building of the restrooms, building the pavilion, putting up the scoreboard at the ball field, and for numerous remodeling projects at the Urbana Community Building. You do not have to be a Lions Club member to volunteer. The rewards are great! You are helping your community, you get free admission to the fair along with preferred parking with a shuttle to take you where you need to go, and you meet and work with wonderful people.

‘Kick It for Karsyn’ enters fourth year Annual kickball tournament in Wabash supports childhood cancer research By The Paper staff The Fourth Annual Kick It for Karsyn kickball tournament will be at the Field of Dreams sports complex in Wabash, on Saturday, July 29. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Jeff Gordon C h i l d r e n ’ s Foundation’s Pediatric Cancer Research Lab at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health in

Indianapolis. Since 2014, the annual kickball tournament has raised more than $80,000 for childhood cancer research in honor of Karsyn Bratch, who inspired so many people in her hometown of Wabash during her eight-year fight against cancer. Sadly, Karsyn passed away in October 2015 at the age of 12. “Karsyn always cared about other sick children more than she cared about herself,” said Bill Burchett, Karsyn’s stepfather and cofounder of the Kick It for Karsyn event.

“She loved knowing that she helped another child feel better, whether it was with her funny ‘knock knock’ jokes or trying to raise money for a family in need. I’ve had many great teachers and mentors, but — by far — I learned the most from Karsyn.” More than 20 kickball teams are expected to take the field on July 29 to make a difference for what Karsyn’s valued most: the fight against childhood cancer. “Kick It for Karsyn is a testament to Karsyn’s incredible

spirit and legacy,” said Larry Graff, event coordinator on behalf of the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation. “She knew firsthand about the importance of childhood cancer research funding. This event meant so much to her because it allowed her to thank the Wabash community for making a difference.” The Kick It for Karsyn kickball tournament will begin with a poignant opening ceremony at the Field of Dreams complex at 10 a.m. on July 29 to celebrate

the life and legacy of Karsyn Bratch. Teams will compete in Competitive and Family-Friendly brackets as the Wabash community continues to fight on for childhood cancer research and treatment. A barbecue lunch will be catered by Smokin’ For A Cause, with proceeds benefiting Kick It for Karsyn. To register a 9-person kickball team, email karsynkick-

it@gordonline.com by 6 p.m. on July 26. Volunteer opportunities are available. Donations are accepted via check at

the event payable to “Jeff Gordon C h i l d r e n ’ s Foundation,” with “Kick It for Karsyn” in the memo line.

Wabash to host Little League tourney By Bill Barrows Wabash will have an influx of baseball teams starting on Wednesday, July 26, as 14 teams will begin competition for the Indiana 12 and Under State Championship. All games will be at the Field of Dreams. This year’s edition of players played in the District 9 Tourney and won that earlier this month. Action will run through July 30. The winner will earn the right to represent Indiana at the Central Region Tourney. Danny Lloyd is the manager of the squad. He is assisted by Shannon Floor and Brandon Booth. All three are veteran coaches of Wabash Little League. They have all participated for several years. Coach Lloyd is very excited about this team going into the tourney. To go deep into any tourney, the key is pitching depth. Cole Winer, Morgan Lloyd, Dillon Tomlinson, Mason Fisher, Ashton Smith and Nathan Lehner will get the bulk of the innings. Winer throws hard but can also mix it up with off-speed pitches. Lloyd is a power pitcher. Has a nasty cutter and is good when he keeps the ball in the lower part of the strike zone. Tomlinson throws hard and has displayed good accuracy. He mixes his pitches well to keep hitters of balance. As does Fisher, who is utilized frequently relieving one of the power pitchers. Smith is the lone lefty on the staff. He keeps hitters off balance with his delivery and mix of pitches. A left handed hitter, he also contributes as a great situational hitter. Lehner, also a key outfielder, has thrown the ball well of late after dealing with arm issues early in the regular season.

Fisher plays middle infield, outfield, and catches. According to Coach Lloyd, “offensively, Mason is having a great all-star season. Just put him back in the lead off position.” Winer, Lloyd and Tomlinson normally comprise the middle of the batting order. They are the 2-3-4 spots in the lineup who have now hit back to back to back homeruns twice thus far in the postseason. Drayson Pace plays first base, is a solid hitter who plays great defense. “He’s a very tough competitor,” Coach Lloyd said. Kolton Floor does a lot of the catching. He sees the field and runs the game. “A good hitter, who also plays third base,” Lloyd continued. Andrew Dillon has a lot of speed and a good arm from the outfield. He hits with power from the left side at a high average. “Being a lefty with speed also makes him a threat to lay one down at any time.” Justin Booth is a key part of the offense. He can pitch, also plays a number of positions defensively from outfield as well as second base, shortstop and third base. Isaiah Sutton is a speed merchant. He tracks balls down in the outfield that saves runs. A tough out at the plate, he uses his speed by hitting the ball on the ground using the entire field. Jaden Lake is a big right-handed hitter with power. Coach Lloyd sums it all up. “I love all of these kids,” he said. “They really get along great and like playing together. They have all been a crucial part of our success over the past 3 years. What is really amazing is that there is always one that maybe you did not expect, who steps up and gives the performance of a lifetime! “

Eyes of Indiana Little League on Wabash By Bill Barrows The City of Wabash will become the center of the universe for Indiana Little League. The State Tourney is being hosted by Wabash for the first time since 2006. “Wabash is honored to host the 10-12 year old State Tournament,” League President Bryan Dillon said. “This only happens potentially every 14 years, as it goes on rotation within the 14 State Little League districts. So, there will be 13 Districts coming to Wabash, and our own team that won the District 9 tournament.” The opening ceremony is Wednesday July 26 at 10:30 a.m. at Field of Dreams. “We knew we were hosting, or at least I became aware of it, a couple years ago,” Dillon continued. “After being elected as the Wabash Little League President, we immediately began to focus on hosting the State. Field maintenance became our number one priority. An extensive drainage project was one of our first major goals to help eliminate saturated fields and common areas. All three grass fields were rehabbed and put back into of Little League dimensions.” Grading and new grass seed have also been added. Also new batting cages have been added for teams to use. “A big thanks to Millwright Solutions, Mike Williams and Harley Hiner for their donations,” Dillon said. I want to personally thank this group of Little League board members for their support and hard work: Dennis Gouvan, Molly Tomlinson, Lori Cruz, Bill Osborn, Matt Baker, Michael Sorg, Jason Truman, Kyle Watson, Shannon McBride, Sam Hipskind, and Josh Long. They all deserve a huge thank you for the time they dedicate to the boys and girls. “There are also these two hardworking volunteers Joe Osborn and Don Slone, as well as our concession volunteer Michelle Dillon. The Wabash team will be coached by manager Danny Lloyd. His coaches are Shannon Floor and Brandon Booth. The tournament will begin with pool play on Wednesday. Wabash will play in Pool B. They will play the District 5 winner at 5p.m. on Field 1. Thursday, the locals will play the District 2 winner at 5pm on Field 3. Their final pool game is Friday at 5 p.m. on Field 1 against the

District 6 winner. Four teams will advance to the single elimination championship segment over the weekend. The State Championship game will be Monday at 6pm on Field 1. Results of Wabash’s games will be posted on The Paper of Wabash Facebook and on Twitter in a timely manner after each game. With teams still playing their district tourneys over this past weekend, teams qualified thus far include the aforementioned Wabash team, Hobart, Munster, Lebanon, Terre Haute North, New Albany, Ben Davis, Brownsburg, New Castle, Foster Park, Chet Waggoner, Osolo, Bedford and Ireland. Dillon also wants to thank the following for their time, support, and financial help with our league and state preparations: Mayor Scott Long, Street Superintendent Scott Richardson and his staff, Park Superintendent Adam Hall and his staff, Hoffman Nursery, Beacon Credit Union – North Branch, Trophy Center Plus, Miller’s Merry Manor, Wabash County YMCA, REMC, The Ford Meter Box Co., Inc, The Field of Dreams Board of Directors, Charley Creek Inn, 4Z’s RVs, Creative Automation, Brainard Excavating, Schlemmer Brothers, Welding Service & Power Services, Millwright Solutions, LLC, Troxel Equipment, Bill Futrell – District 9 Administrator, Brian Hoffman, Kevin Pratt, Bill Barrows, Jim Davis, Gaunt and Son Asphalt Inc., Wabash Hardware & Rental, “and the many that we may have inadvertently missed!!” There is no cost to watch Little League baseball so come out and support our Wabash team in their quest to win another State Championship!!!!!

Wabash Area Junior Tennis players competed on July 1516 at the 26th Annual Bob Flanary Tennis Open Tournament and at the 12 and under CTA Junior Team Tennis District Championships. Isaac Triplett, professional tennis instructor, had four students in these competitions. Competing in Lebanon was: Rob Ford, Dave Ford, and Brady Wiley. Then, competing in South Bend at the 12 and under CTA Junior Team Tennis District Championships, was Nicholas Ewing. At the Lebanon Tournament, Rob Ford took the title in boys 16 and under singles. He had to battle over 3 hours in a semi-final match that he was down match point during a third set tie breaker to eventually win. Wiley was victorious in the boys 14 and under singles and took the title from Dave Ford. This was a tricky match since both youth had teamed together earlier in the day to capture the 16 and under boys doubles title. Ewing gained valuable experience in his two competitive matches in South Bend at the Junior Team District Tennis Championships.

WCS Board approves administrator salaries By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash City Schools Board of Education approved administrator salaries when it met on Monday, July 17. Among the salaries approved were Superintendent Jason Callahan’s and Chief Business Officer and Athletic Director Matt Stone’s. “The only changes from last year’s contract were the CFO, the principals and assistant principals all received a 2 percent increase,” Callahan told The Paper of Wabash County, “and then our director of technology integration had been low so we did the same but then we added in his extra days at his daily rate.” The salaries were approved for the 2017/2018-2018/2019 as follows: • Superintendent Jason Callahan, $104,000 for the first of three-year contract with $5,800 annuity per year. • Chief Business Officer and Athletic Director Matt Stone, $91,800 for first of two-year contract. • Wabash High School Principal Kyle Wieland, $86,700 for first of two-year contract. • Wabash Middle School Principal Mike Mattern, $82,620 for first of two-year contract. • O.J. Neighbours Elementary Principal Danielle Miller, $78,540 for first of two-year contract. • WHS Assistant Principal Jeff Galley, $69,360 for first of two-year contract. • WMS Assistant Principal Laura Sigler, $65,280 for first of two-year contract. • OJN Assistant Principal Josh Blossom, $69,360 for first of two-year contract. • Director of T e c h n o l o g y Integration Justin Vail, $53,513 for first of two-year contract. The salaries “are still 6 percent lower than the average administrator salaries in the state of Indiana,” Callahan said.

The motion to approve the salaries passed 4-0. Board President Kimberly Pinkerton was absent. Additionally, Chief Business Officer Matt Stone informed the board that its budget calendar has changed. While the budget is ready for review, due to delays from the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance, “now they’ve said that we can’t have a contract until Sept. 15,” Stone told the board. “The state is not going to give us tax cap information until Aug. 15 so we’re going to push everything back,” he explained. “So we won’t have budget hearings— now I have the budget basically done, but it’ll need to be adjusted when we get some of that information. So we won’t have hearings or advertising for maybe another month behind what I gave last time and we won’t adopt it officially until early October. “I think that’s what they want really. They’re trying to push us back because they’re want to coincide with this count day. That’s what the state does with our contract. The state won’t let us sign it until after our count day. … So we won’t do budget (discussions) until late August and into September now.” In other news, Board member Liz Hobbs informed the board that the Access Youth Center will be hosting a communitywide school supply giveaway on Aug. 3-4. “There will be 500 new backpacks there with basic supply lists and anyone can come and get them,” Hobbs said. Youth or their guardians may pick up the book bags starting at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 3, or on Friday, Aug. 4, starting at 10 a.m. The center also is requesting volunteers to help pack and sort the bags on Monday, July 31, and Tuesday, Aug. 1, starting at 10 a.m. For more information, call the Access Youth Center at 260563-2070.

What’s up with Wabash gas prices?

a quote for a highway? Is it “rob Peter to pay Paul, now we are back to Peter and he is out of money”? Guess what? More taxes. I can remember when there used to be gas wars and the major companies would compete for business, not any more. The prices jump 20 cents at one time but come down only one cent at a time. This is a common occurrence. What is the reason? I thought the government passed a law on price fixing. If the money from the lottery goes for someone’s retirement, what happened to the original retirement money? – Red Hapner, Wabash

Dear Editor: I am sure a great number of Wabash people would like to know why the price of gas is usually higher here than the surrounding cities. The people I talk to all have the same question: Is it a conspiracy, price fixing, location or just greed? We are located in the middle of cities that do not have this problem. There has to be a reason. If anyone can give us an answer, I, and a lot of other people, would be grateful. I thought the lottery was going to take care of fixing the highways. Who checks to see if contractors are insured and solvent when they submit

Some things to ponder about life Dear Editor: This is by an unknown author: I drank for happiness and became unhappy. I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank for sociability and became argumentative. I drank for sophistication and became

obnoxious. I drank for friendship and made enemies. I drank for sleep and woke up tired. I drank for strength and felt weak. I drank for relaxation and got the shakes. I drank for courage and became

afraid. I drank for confidence and became doubtful. I drank to make conversation and slurred my speech. I drank to feel heavenly and ended up feeling like hell. – Mike Peare

With every heavy rain Third Street floods and crosses into the Robinson’s yard. The shrubs at the Community Building are getting so large they are difficult to manage. A motion to remove them was passed. The trees along highway 13 will be trimmed and those that have

The “Sandford and Son Crew” brought in $109.10 from recycling, and this week they brought in $145.00. Most of which was from the old lights that were removed from the community building! Please help by rinsing out your cans. We had one can with motor oil in it and it leaked, so the storage area had to be cleaned.

Common Ground announces new programs By The Paper staff

The Common Ground Prayer Room, formerly the Hesychia House, will be hosting summer prayer walks and a prayer watch. Starting in August, Common Ground, located at New Journey Community Church in Wabash, will host a prayer watch from 10 a.m. to noon in which everyone is welcome. Saturday prayer watch, which will take place at the same time on the first, second and third Saturdays of each month, will be set up with the first hour dedicated to worship and the word and the second hour reserved for worship and intercession. The first hour will provide a devotional worship exercise that is a mixture of worship, reflection and prayer using verse-by-verse scripture while the second hour will rotate between singing worship songs and praying for others. The last Saturday of each month will be a prayer walk. There are two prayer walks set up so far and are scheduled as follows: • On July 29, the north side prayer walk will take place from 10-11:30 a.m. and

will begin at O.J. N e i g h b o u r s Elementary School and end at Wabash High School. The walk will focus prayer on schools, teachers, Youth for Christ, firemen and police. • On Aug. 26, the central Wabash prayer walk will take place from 10-11:30 a.m. and will begin at the Wabash City Park in the large pavilion. The prayer will focus on those battling addiction, those in need in the community and community efforts to improve Wabash. Eventually, an inside event will replace the walks when the weather does not permit being outside, according to officials. The organization also hosts a Tuesday morning community prayer time from 9-10 a.m. The Common Ground Prayer Room is available most any time by appointment. To make an appointment, contact any of the following prayer captains Debbie Sweet at 260-571-6072, Shirley Neele at 260591-0047, Pat Kirby at 260-571-2774, Jason Fusek at 260-330-1417 or Angie Penix at 260571-9809.

Local band to open for NewSong By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A local Christian band will be the opening act when NewSong appears on Saturday, July 29, at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. The band, 390 East, is made up of pastors and members of local churches. The eight-member band performed earlier this year at the Historic Eagles Theatre during a night of gospel music. The event, 85 United, sold upwards of 350 tickets, raised funds for New Beginnings Ministries, the local homeless shelter. “Over the years I’ve gotten to know a lot of singers and worship pastors and people from this town that are pretty good (musicians),” Brian Bassett, a founding member of the group, said. The group got together for the benefit, and performed well, he continued. “This team really gelled well, really worked well togeth-

er,” Bassett said. “There was a lot of very talented people coming together for a good cause. And from that, the Honeywell Center contacted us and wants us to open up for NewSong. “We’re hopeful to get the word out about what we’re doing so that we can continue to do more outreach events and charity events in the community and beyond.” The band is now known as 390 East Worship. “We’re probably going to write and record an album together,” Bassett said. “It’s pretty neat because it’s a lot of different churches.” Bassett and his cousin, Dustin Hurst, are both worship pastors. Bassett serves Wabash Friends Church, while Hurst is at LaFontaine

Christian Church. They have played music for more than 20 years, performing in the band Miles From Home. Other members of 390 East Worship are: Mike Haarer and Deanna Bowman, a worship pastor at New Journey Church, Courtney McClure, a worship pastor, and Nate Young of Wabash Friends Church, Madison Rebholz, a singer at Bachelor Creek Church of Christ, and Dennis Wilde, another former member of Miles From Home. “It’s a really, really talented group,” Bassett said. “We’re excited to see what else can come our way and what we can do with this thing to try and do some good and make a difference in our community.”

FunFest to feature Industrial Tours By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — FunFest will be offering Industrial Tours for the first time this year, featuring POET Biorefining. Guests will be able to take a relaxing ride on Visit Wabash County’s Trolley No.85 from downtown North Manchester to POET and back. Upon arriving at POET, they will be given an engaging tour of the facility, which will explain POET’s bio refining processes. “I recently had the privilege of touring

the facility, and it was quite fascinating to learn about what they do at POET, said North Manchester Chamber of Commerce Director Debra Pyrah. “I was very impressed with how well they operate their business. In addition, they are very environmentally conscious, and treat their employees very well.” POET General Manager Steve Pittman noted that POET Biorefining North Manchester has been a part of this community since 2008. “We provide Wabash County farm-

ers a secondary market to sell their corn in for our processing use, which helps them maximize their profit potential,” he said. “In addition, we are providing good paying jobs for the rural area which can never be outsourced, we help reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and reduce tailpipe emissions with clean burning ethanol. We are excited about the opportunity to host free tours to the community to demonstrate our process and how we are making a positive impact locally.” Four tours are scheduled to take

place Saturday, Aug. 12, 2017, at the beginning of each hour from 11 a.m. through 2 p.m. A limited number of tickets will be available the day of the event on a first come, first serve basis at Wetzel Insurance Agency’s booth. The one hour round trip tours will be free this year due to the generosity and partnership of POET Biorefining, Visit Wabash County, Wetzel Insurance Agency, Inc., J.M. Reynolds Oil Co., HF Group, LLC. and North Manchester’s Chamber of Commerce.

Hoffman retired on June 30 after serving the Arc of Wabash County, a human service agency that provides services and programs for youth and adults with disabilities, for 41 years. “And I love all of you,” Hoffman replied. Throughout the dinner, Arc clients and personnel thanked Hoffman for not only her hard work, but her presence at the agency. “Nancy, it’s been a pleasure working with you,” Sam Knight, Arc Board of Directors President,

your heart will continue to be in this organization. “With your leadership and devoted support, you’ve made Arc the great organization that it is. I know that your goal is to serve our clients in the very best possible way and you’ve done that. We’d like to thank you very much and wish you the very best with retirement.” To send off the former director, Kellie Minkler, Arc administrative assistant, complied “In Our Own Words,” a series of clientele comments that described the community’s favorite traits about Hoffman. “Probably 100 percent of (the spoken-to clients) used the word ‘nice’ to describe Nancy,” Minkler said. “Here’s some of the quotes. ‘Nancy is really, really nice. … Nancy is one of the nicest people you’ll ever want to meet.’ And then along those lines, some of the other responses were, ‘Nancy’s kind. Nancy has a big heart and Nancy is a good person.’” Clients also used words “dependable” and “famous” to describe Hoffman, Minkler continued. “The more I thought about (the word ‘famous’) the more appropriate it seems,” she said, “because whether you want to call it fame or not, Nancy certainly has a well-known reputation throughout the state and beyond for being an excellent director/CEO and is respected for her leadership abilities and admired for the high standard to which she served to the agency.” Hoffman was a “rescuer” and “protector,” she continued. “’Nancy won’t let any one pick on us,’” (continued on page 29)

Expansion in soy acres drives checkoff investments From the United Soybean News Bureau CHICAGO – The U.S. soybean industry is turning a corner. This year, soy acres closed in on corn acres, narrowing the gap between the two crops. At the United Soybean Board’s (USB) July meeting, the booming supply of soy was a topic of discussion – as was the need for continued strong demand. Conversations shifted from increasing volume to maximizing value to set farmers up for longterm profitability. As USDA reports a record high of 89.5 million planted acres, the farmer-leaders are investing checkoff dollars both inside the bean to improve the meal and oil, and beyond the bean to meet evolving enduser demands sustainably. Continuous improvement in U.S. soy keeps preference strong. In terms of soybean meal, the farmers discussed a growing interest in who is purchasing and using U.S. soy and how to meet their needs for a quality product through innovative research and measurement. For soybean oil, the farmers looked to leverage rapidly expanding technologies, including high oleic, and to also diversify the investment portfolio through industrial uses. The board also elevated the conversation on sustainability and tools to meet the needs of the future, including plant breeding innovations. This portfolio of investments helps to maximize farmer profit opportunities long term.

“U.S. soybean farmers and their checkoff are working toward the best of both worlds – quantity and quality,” said USB Chair John Motter. “Farmers need to be able to make decisions on not just how many acres, but what’s in those acres. We’re focused on getting more value per acre returned to farmers.” It is a pivotal time for soybeans, and it’s also a momentous time for the soy checkoff. In addition to investing checkoff funds in research, promotion and marketing that look beyond the bushel, the farmer-leaders took this time to leverage the experience and expertise of USB Chief Executive Officer (CEO) John Becherer to make investments for the future and to position the checkoff for its next CEO. Becherer, who is set to retire at the end of 2017, was recognized for his contributions and 29-year service to the industry this week. “Finding, launching and leveraging profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers is a constantly evolving mission for USB,” Becherer

said. “Checkoff investments made by U.S. soybean farmers grew the value of U.S. soy over the past 25 years through innovative investments and partnerships with industry. We look forward to continuing to do so for the next 25 years to maximize value for U.S. soy and maximize profit opportunities for U.S. soybean farmers.” USB’s 73 farmer-directors work on behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers to achieve maximum value for their soy checkoff investments. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds in programs and partnerships to drive soybean innovation beyond the bushel and increase preference for U.S. soy. That preference is based on U.S. soybean meal and oil quality and the sustainability of U.S. soybean farmers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy checkoff.

Ivy Tech’s Warsaw campus to align with Fort Wayne From the Ivy Tech News Bureau FORT WAYNE — As part of its organizational structure project, Ivy Tech Community College announced Ivy Tech Warsaw will transition to be part of Ivy Tech Fort Wayne’s service area. Warsaw is currently aligned with the Ivy Tech North Central region, but the college recently announced a new structure eliminating regions and moving to a campus model. During the 2017–18 academic year, the Ivy Tech Fort Wayne and Warsaw leadership teams will work together to ensure a smooth transition for students, faculty, staff, and the Warsaw community Ivy Tech serves. “The alignment of Warsaw with the Fort Wayne campus maintains the college’s commitment to providing accessible quality education and training to the communities in Kosciusko County,” according to South Bend/Elkhart Chancellor Thomas

Coley, Ph.D. “We are committed to ensuring there will be a seamless transition for our students, faculty, and staff.” This change is occurring to better align the college with the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, the workforce of northeast Indiana, and other economic development activities of Kosciusko County. The county is known for being an economic center for the orthopedicdevice industry and joined the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership in October 2015. Dr. Allyn Decker, who leads the Ivy Tech Warsaw site, has been with college since December 2016 and was previously the Orthopedic Regulatory and Clinical Affairs graduate program director and Medical Device Quality Management program director at Grace College. “We are pleased with our Warsaw site moving in alignment with what’s happening in northeast Indiana,” Decker

said. “Our team anticipates this to be a smooth transition, because it makes sense for our college to be working with and serving the business and industry in which our citizens and students will have the best opportunity for employment upon graduation.” David Findlay, president and CEO of Lake City Bank, Ivy Tech Foundation board member, and former state trustee of Ivy Tech, said, “Ivy Tech Community College in Warsaw is critical to not only Warsaw’s future but the entire region. Through the O r t h o p e d i c A d v a n c e d Manufacturing Technology Center, we’ve contributed to the growth of the orthopedic industry in the region, which includes companies throughout the region.” Wa r s aw - b a s e d Lake City Bank recently signed an agreement to be part of Ivy Tech’s Achieve Your Degree program. “We’ve also brought a full cur-

riculum of higher education opportunities to Kosciusko County,” said Findlay. “The decision to align Ivy Tech Warsaw’s presence with Fort Wayne is a natural extension of the connectivity of our communities and will enhance our ability to deliver quality education and workforce development

programs to the communities we serve.” This transition also connects with the Regional Cities Initiative Road to One Million, which seeks to make Indiana a magnet for talent attraction by funding transformative quality of place projects. The Road to One Million outlines a short-term goal of 38 regional develop-

ment projects in 11 counties totaling $400 million in quality of place investments, and more than 70 projects and $1.5 billion in public and private investment over the next 10 years. John Sampson, president and CEO of Northeast Indiana R e g i o n a l Partnership, said the change will mirror

the membership of the economic development partnership. “This realignment is good news for northeast Indiana,” he said. “Ivy Tech plays a unique and critical role providing a foundation for the workforce and talent development infrastructure in our region.”

Minkler said, reciting a quote. “’Nancy makes Arc a safe place. Nancy looks out for us.’ ‘Nancy saved my husband’s life.’ ‘Nancy found me a good place to live when I didn’t have a place to go.’ “Here’s some advice,” she continued, wrapping up the segment. “Don’t be sad about Nancy retiring. She’ll visit. She won’t be able to help herself.” Arc’s new President and CEO Linda Johnson, who took over on July 1, presented Hoffman with a plaque thanking her for 41 years of service. “Arc of Wabash County started as a school of hope (as) parents wanted change for their children,” Johnson said. “A teacher was hired, a building acquired and lives were changed.

love.” Johnson joined Arc in 2007 as a program director and has been a part of the disabilities community for 30 years, she told The Paper of Wabash County. “I worked with another large organization for 18 years and did supervision for a case management company for two years and that’s kind of how I ended up at Arc, because I case managed for an individual that came here,” she said. “So I was invited to their annual dinner and when my predecessor left, they interviewed me and I came on board.” As Hoffman’s successor, “my hopes for the Arc are that we carry on Nancy’s tradition of love and support, that we continue to grow and that we continue to serve Wabash County citizens the best way we know how,” Johnson said.
