County’s jail woes growing 3 sites to stop accepting Wabash County inmates By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com Wabash County's jail overcrowding problem hit a high point last week when the county jail housed a record 39 level six felons. With a peak population of 103, and a population of 96 as of Monday, June 25,

Sheriff Bob Land continues to look for solutions. However, one commonly used alternative is no longer available. At the June 25 meeting of the county commissioners, Land reported that Wabash County had a total of 138 inmates: the 96 in Wabash County Jail and 32 housed in Miami County, one in Blackford County, eight in Elkhart

County and one in Department of Corrections safe keep. “All three of these counties are not accepting any prisoners – any extra inmates – at this time,” Land said. He previously told the commissioners that Miami, Blackford and Elkhart counties agreed to house inmates for Wabash County, and that he mainly sends sen-

tenced inmates who do not required transportation very often to those facilities. “Last week's average between all four facilities,” he said, “was 140.2.” This week's jail activity included 25 new bookings and 15 transports. Land said that they are pending only

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

When children are away from their tradition school setting, they often start to forget what they’ve learned throughout the previous school year. The Wabash Carnegie Public Library is trying to combat that with a series of children’s events open to the public throughout the summer. The library puts on story time for kids of all ages, including baby story

time and toddler story time, Youth Services Librarian Polly Howell told The Paper of Wabash County. The program has what it calls a “discovery time” for children three through six years of age. On June 20, children had the opportunity to meet with the folks from the 4-H Dog Club and play with the dogs at the Wabash Dog Park. Last week, the Purdue Extension paid the children a visit to talk about rockets. And this week, Peggy Coppler will be on hand to perform a music program.

The library has its maker space children’s program on Wednesday, and also has a crafts program and book club for teenagers on Thursday night. It also has a reading incentive program where kids are rewarded for how much reading they do over the summer. “We want to encourage reading all summer long when they’re not at school just to prevent that summer slide,” Howell said. “Not only that, but just to give kids something good (continued on page 3)

Friendship Hill is the name chosen for the city’s Inclusive Park. The name was announced during a brief ceremony Monday night at the Wabash Riverfront Plaza and Riverfront Sweets and Eats, which hosted a fundraiser for the park. The Inclusive Park Committee received 402 name suggestions, and committee members each had their favorites. Throughout it all, committee co-chair Shelly Myers said, was the theme of friendship. Since part of the park will be a giant hill, the name Friendship Hill was selected. The city was also included in the name, as a slogan “BashIN’ Barriers” is incorporated in the park’s logo. Work on the site is expected to begin in a few weeks, and work should be completed by this fall.

Kate’s Kart coming to Parkview Wabash By The Paper staff Kate’s Kart is rolling into Parkview Wabash Hospital (PWB) June 26, 2018. The Kart will add another comfort measure for Parkview Wabash Hospital’s pediatric patients and families. “I think Kate’s Kart is inspirational,” said Devon McDaniel, MSN, RN, CMSRN, nursing service manager, PWB. “Recently, my wife and I were up at Parkview Regional Medical Center with my daughter, and Kate’s Kart came to

see us. The book she received is now a keepsake for her.” Kate’s Kart gives each child a book of their own to keep and take home from the hospital. The Kart initially will be stocked with 780 books to start off the first year. A tub in the emergency department and a Kart in the med-surg and critical care units will include books appropriate for all age groups. Parkview Wabash Hospital staff members are also excited to add Kate’s Kart to their patient experience and care units

beginning June 26, which would be Baby Kate’s 12th birthday. This addition will be the 29th Kart in the 20th hospital for the Kate’s Kart organization. Each of Parkview’s seven other hospitals provide Kate’s Kart services. This Kart is being added to Parkview Wabash Hospital, thanks to the generosity of the Wabash and North Manchester Kiwanis clubs. Kiwanis is an international organization that focuses on children’s needs, both locally and globally. Its mission

is “to empower communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children.” The goal of Kate’s Kart is to comfort patients and their families while encouraging literacy and a love of reading. Kate’s Kart was founded in 2008 by Krista Layman, after her 18-month-old daughter, “Baby Kate,” passed away from congenital heart and pulmonary defects. Inspired by Kate’s love of books, Krista began giving free

books to children at local hospitals. Soon, volunteers and surrounding hospitals wanted to take on her efforts permanently, thus Kate’s Kart was created. Every month, more than 2,500 new books are given away to hospitalized children in northeast Indiana. “I am thrilled to continue reaching out to scared children and helping them and their families through the partnership we have with Parkview and other hospitals, and we’re excited to serve patients in this

new facility,” Layman said. “Kate’s Kart is just a purely joyful thing that the hospital staff now gets to offer to our patients,” said Beth Squires-Stein, director, Parkview Wabash Foundation. “What came out of love for a child who died too soon, is now going to help other children,” said Squires-Stein. “It’s a way to make a tragic moment into something beautiful.” The Kiwanis Clubs are providing the initial funds for

Kate’s Kart. Once these funds are received, Kate’s Kart brings a Kart, tub, and books to the hospital, replenishing the books monthly. However, funds to continue Kate’s Kart at Parkview Wabash Hospital are still being sought through grants, the Wabash Community Foundation, and other local sources. Kate’s Kart accepts book and monetary donations. To donate, visit kateskart.org, or view their wish list at AmazonSmile.

County’s jail woes growing ...continued from the front page one transport to Indiana Department of Corrections this week. In an effort to relieve the strain of overcrowding, the Sheriff's Department is looking into a variety of alternative

options. “We got seven inmates out on early release on Friday, but at this time we'll once again wait until after court today and see where we stand,” he said. Other solutions

previously discussed by Land include options through the probation department. Compounding the overcrowding issue is a lack of jail staff. “As of Friday, I'm down two jail offi-

cers, and at the end of this month I'll be down three,” he told the commissioners. Land also noted that his department recently filled a position for a merit deputy, with the new officer attending the

police academy in October. “Today was cutoff on the new interview process. We will start interviews for all the open positions shortly,” he said.

Schutz Brothers closing doors after 72 years By Eric Christiansen Echristiansen@nmpa per.com NORTH MANCHESTER — A staple in the North Manchester community has closed its doors after 72 years in business. Located at 1604 East St., just north of State Road 13 in North Manchester, Schutz Brothers has been a family business that has made an impact in every state in the country and in at least 15 countries around the world. Owner Mitch Schutz said that it was time to move on to the next stage of his life. “I’ll miss the people the most that we’ve met over the years …

the people we’ve sold to, the vendors,” he said. “I’ve realized how much I’ve learned over the years. It’s a unique industry, and it’s been good to us. “We’ve met some of the best horsemen from all over the world who have endorsed our stuff, and I call them my friends.” Founded in 1946, Schutz Brothers specialized as manufacturers and wholesalers of horse tack, high-end leather, and tack and training equipment. Schutz said that his father bought the business from his grand-father when he was 14 years old and moved into the current building. Schutz’s told the

story of how the business started. His father owned an Arabian horse and traded it for a new colt to a business owner in Ohio, and ended up selling the colt to the daughter of the owners of the Chicago Tribune newspaper for $10,000 in 1946. His uncle, Dick, had just returned from World War II and was interested in guns. “They put their heads together and used the money they got from the colt to start Schutz Brothers,” Schutz said. “My dad was always interested in leather. We had a retail business for 35 years with guns and saddles. We got a reputation and people asked my dad if he would sell wholesale horse equipment.” The company sold horse equipment in Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Dick Schutz passed away in 1976, and the family decided to close the gun and retail business and go only wholesale. The family business grew when Schutz married Penny Mort, who became the bookkeeper for the company, taking over for his

mother. “I had a wonderful mother,” he said. “She really did it all. I was a mama’s boy. I love my mama.” Schutz said his brother and sister both worked in the business, but both went their different ways with their families. “So, it was either going to be my baby or the business would end when my dad died in 1995,” he said. Mitch and Penny Schutz’s daughter, Brogan (Schutz) Hayden was born in 1988. That very week, the employee running the office for Penny Schutz quit. Mitch built a play crib in the back of his office, and Brogan was at work the first week after her birth. “That’s when we hired Carol Snodgrass, who has worked here for 29 years,” Schutz said. “I can’t say enough about Carol. She knew this business inside and out.” Brogan grew up loving horses, so the family bought a motor home and traveled to horse shows every weekend for years. She trained in a barn in Bourbon, and was ranked top ten in the world in several categories in the American Quarter Horse Association. “She was very successful,” Schutz said. Penny Schutz passed away in 2013 after a two-year battle

with cancer. “Losing Penny turned my life upside down,” Schutz said. “She ran the office, I did all the manufacturing, but we were so close.” Brogan Hayden is in her last year of residency as an M.D. in pediatrics at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis, and will soon have a full-time job. She married North Manchester native Doug Hayden in 2014. Hayden took over Penny Schutz’s job, community from Indianapolis to work to work for Schutz Brothers. “Doug was thrown into the job by trail by fire,” Schutz said. “He did a masterful job getting a computer system.” Schutz said Brogan knew [the company] wasn’t for her, and for Doug, it wasn’t enough. “We knew it was coming to an end,” he said. “I have the best crew I’ve ever had, and the most mature crew I’ve ever had.” Schutz made a point to acknowledge not only Snodgrass, but Jo Leffel who, handling shipping for 13 years, and fouryear employee Cameron Miller. Reflecting on the history of the business, Schutz’s thoughts went to his father. “My dad never worked a day in his life,” he said. “He lived his hobby and loved to cut a piece of

Photo by Eric Christiansen leather.” Schutz’s next step in life actually started more than two years ago when he connected with Margie Miller, whose brother is his best friend. The couple married in 2016, will celebrate their second anniversary in July and plans to enjoy retirement. Margie Schutz talked about how fun it has been to get to know each other and learn about how they

have lived life. She taught at M a n c h e s t e r Elementary School. “The year before I retired from teaching, Mitch would come in and the kids just love him, and he saw what my life was like,” she said. “This year, I’ve been retired and have been working here and learned about what he has done. “We wanted to retire because we wanted to do other things with our lives while we are young enough … we want to travel,” Margie Schutz said. “We haven’t had the time together that people our age do,” Schutz said. “There are grandkids … it’s a wonderful life. We are retired from our careers, but not from life. We are going to live like we haven’t been able to.” The Schutz Brothers buildings will be up for sale and the business will have a “Going out of Business” auction Friday and Saturday, June 29-30. For more information about the real estate property and items to be auctioned, contact Mitch Schutz at 260-982-8581.

Northfield Choir performance to be featured on PBS By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

Northfield High School’s A Capella and Treble choirs spent the fall and winter practicing for a 200-voice joint performance with Warsaw High School, Fairfield High School and Manchester University. Now, they’ll be able to see the fruits of their labor, as the performance will be broadcast on PBS 39 on Sunday, July 8, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, Aug, 26 from 1-2 p.m. Northfield Jr. Sr. High School director of vocal music Mark Nevil was asked by Dr. Debra Lynn, the choral conductor at Manchester University to participate with his choirs in a combined performance of a work she had written. The work, “A Family Portrait,” is based on a series of letters between a family and their family member, a civil war soldier. “She set several to music, and decided to create work for orchestra, soloists and choir,” Nevil said. “We have collaborated with her on several different

occasions – three times at least before with her and Manchester Symphony. So, she knew the quality of our program and that we would be able to handle the repertoire and perform it accurately.” Nevil said it scared his students at first. “We looked over the score – it’s 111 pages or music to learn,” Nevil said. “Some of it is with soloists but the majority of it is with choirs. It was intimidating at first. As you describe how to eat an elephant – one bite at a time, and we started chewing away at the work. And, they had collaborated with Dr. Lynn the previous year on another work, “The Peace Makers.” It was a wonderful experience for them to experience the orchestra, the soloists and choir – that was another collaborative experience. This wasn’t their first choral orchestra rodeo.” Lynn contacted the station to let them know that the performance would be going on and asked if they’d be interested in recording it. So, in conjunction with media personnel from the University,

they did a number of things together with PBS to record and the performance. “I think it’s a huge undertaking for which the students can be really proud of themselves,” Nevil said. “We had a lot of score study. We looked into what the letters mean. We looked over the lyrics of each one to really get a feel for what the family was feeling and what the soldier was feeling. “As far as my students, I am extremely proud of what they were able to undertake with this. We were able to partner with Fairfield High School and Warsaw High School, both of which have been top 10 choirs in the state. It felt really good to be elevated to that level, to say ‘hey we think you can do this as well as them.” Northfield choir is on the upswing. After a strong performance at the ISSMA competitions in the winter, this chance to work with the 200-voice joint performance has Northfield choir feeling like the sky is the limit. “My belief is that quality draws quality,” Nevil said. “So, if I as a

quality director present quality music to the students, we’re going to draw even more quality out of those students and get other talented students into the program to experience things they normally wouldn’t. I never had the chance to sing with a symphony in my high school career. Since I’ve been at Northfield, we’ve done that on four different occasions. “It was a fantastic experience for the students, not only to get to perform a work of this level, but to have the opportunity to work with the actual composer. Dr. Lynn came into our rehearsals on several occasions and enlightened us on the letters really meant, how she came up with certain melodies that matches the lyrics. Getting the chance to get inside the mind of the composer as well as the mind of the conductor and the performers – that’s just a rare opportunity, especially for a rural school in rural Indiana, to have the opportunity to work with a symphony and conductor at the same. Nevil says he feels fortunate for himself

It is no small feat. I applaud my students for sticking with the hard work day to day, breaking apart into sectional rehearsals, working with me, working with the guest conductor, working with the soloists who also came

Hospital facility, the county’s morgue is in need of a new home. As a temporary fix, the county commissioners signed a memorandum of understanding with GrandstaffHentgen Funeral Service Monday, June 25. County Attorney Steve Downs originally presented the memorandum at the commissioners’ June 18 meeting. “You’re aware that

the hospital is closing the morgue at the end of the month, and arrangements have been made with Grandstaff-Hentgen to store and autopsy bodies at their facility,” Downs said at the June 18 meeting … that will be effective when the morgue closes in the hospital, and will last until we find a permanent replacement location for the morgue.” Per the memoran-

dum, the county will pay GrandstaffHentgen $400 for a body stored and autopsied at the funeral service’s Manchester Avenue location in Wabash. Bodies stored but not autopsied will incur a $200 per body cost. The agreement requires that Grandstaff-Hentgen to provide refrigeration equipment for storage of dead bodies, and that the county pro-

vides supplies and other equipment to “store, autopsy, and dispose of the dead bodies.” The county is also responsible for cleaning the space used by the coroner, and making repairs for any damage done to the property by county employees. The commissioners unanimously approved the memorandum at their June 25 meeting.

Also at that meeting, the board approved a three-year contract with Maximus for the county’s cost allocation plan. The contract – for years 2018, 2019 and 2020 – will cost the county $5,250 per year, an increase of $250 per year from the previous three-year contract. “They usually find at least that much,” Chairman Brian Haupert said regarding the contract. The commissioners unanimously approved that contract as well. The commissioners also opened bids for a 2006 Chevrolet Blazer, owned by the Sheriff ’s Department. Two bids, one for $330 and one for $425, were taken under advisement.

He says that he has developed leadership through working with others in Junior Leaders to do community projects. At the fair, Parker’s leadership abilities help him during showmanship. Showmanship is one of Parker’s favorite 4-H activities because he has done it all ten years and it gets his family involved as well. Parker believes the leadership skills he has developed during 4-H will help him when he goes to college. “I’m going to Purdue to study engineering, specifically, construction management engineering, where I will be leading others and connecting the construction workers to the business side of things. Leadership skills will give me and edge in that field,” Parker says.

I know I am going to have to choose which classes to take, what clubs I want to participate in, and the friends I want to surround myself with. Each of these are decisions that will shape my future.

Fields will always need planted, sprayed, and harvested and animals will always need fed and taken care of. It takes a lot of self-discipline to get out of bed early and work long, hard days no matter the weather, but it is always worth it in the end because agriculture is an industry that I love,” Kyle states. “With the 4-H fair, self-discipline for months before the swine show is important because my pigs and I have to be prepared. I have to spend many days and nights walking, feeding, and cleaning my pigs so that we can have success at the county and state fairs. This self-discipline has helped motivate me to continue in the agriculture industry and grow in my own swine business. I have a special appreciation for the people in the agriculture industry who also have the discipline to work day in and day out to make the world a better place.”

I’m in Fine Arts, and it’s really important to be able to communicate what you’re trying to get across with it,” Sarah says. “You need to be able to explain how you did it, what you learned, and the importance behind the work. This is all critical in the judging portion. You need to be able to explain the purpose of your project.” Sarah’s communication skills paid off, and she says one of her favorite 4-H memories was when her Fine Arts project went to state last year. This year, Sarah tried a new project and sang in the talent performance with her sisters. “I really enjoyed singing with my sisters. I had to communicate with audience through the music. It was a different way of expressing myself and I really enjoyed it.”

Local agencies stress firework safety as July 4 nears By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash,com

While children and adults are out enjoying firework displays this season, the Wabash City Fire Department is asking the public to err on the side of caution to

promote safety, prevent structure fires and limit injuries. Firefighter Carl Hall says the most important aspect to discharging fireworks is to promote adult supervision for any children using fireworks. People should keep

their fireworks in a cool, dry place away from flames to prevent accidental ignition. “Always make sure there is enough space for the fireworks,” Hall said. “In case something goes wrong, everyone will be a safe distance

WMI adds summer intern By The Paper staff Taylor Heath, a sophomore at Taylor University and a 2017 Southwood High School graduate, has joined Wabash Marketplace, Inc., as a summer marketing and administrative intern. During her first year of college, Heath acted as the manager of the university’s Women’s Cross-Country team, as well as the treasurer for Society of Human Resource M a n a g e m e n t (SHRM). This upcoming year she will be serving as a Student Ambassador in which she will be welcoming visitors and Taylor alumni back to campus. During her internship, Heath’s responsibilities will include

TAYLOR HEATH assisting with social media marketing of downtown Wabash and Wabash Marketplace, Inc. members, supporting First Friday and the Farmers Market initiatives, coordinating the activity of multiple committees, and creating and distributing press releases for organization events. “Taylor being a

part of our team will allow us to get the word out to even more people about downtown Wabash. We are excited for a great summer!” said Tyler Karst, WMI project coordinator. At Taylor University, Heath is pursuing a degree in business marketing. While her ultimate dream is to own a small Christian boutique, Heath desires to invest in her community and the people that she comes in contact with. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to work for Wabash Marketplace this summer in order to develop skills and gain experience which will be valuable as I continue pursuing my dreams,” she said.

away.” Fireworks should never be launched in a crowded area, nor should they be used indoors. The fire department puts out public service announcements throughout the year to keep patrons up to speed on firework safety. “Firework season seems to be so broad,” Hall said. “I’ve seen them used on New Year’s Eve, as well. There are laws that specifically spell out the time you can do fireworks – the time of the day and the time you have to quit.” State statutes say that fireworks may be set off on holidays such as the Fourth of July from 9 a.m. to midnight, and may only be shot off from your property or a property in which you have permission to shoot from. “It’s not been so much a problem the last couple years, but I remember many Fourth of Julys and even Fifth of Julys in the middle of the night where we had fires,” hall said. “The airborne fireworks, you have no control over one their launched. They can go anywhere they

Matt Cressell of Boomers Fireworks rearranges a display on Friday, June 22. With the Fourth of July quickly approaching, authorities are preaching firework safety to prevent as many injuries as possible. Photo by Josh Sigler want and they can easily start a structure fire. That puts everybody at risk, including the firemen.” Elisa Cressel and her husband, Matt, have just finished up the first week of their fourth year in business at Boomer Fireworks across from Brandt’s HarleyDavidson. Cressell said the large shells and cakes are the hottest selling items, along with the Star Destroyers, and base military assortments. “People like to start with the smaller cakes and shells work

up to the larger cakes and shells, Cressell said. Patrons must be 18 to purchase fireworks, and those who look under 18 will be carded, Cressel said. “If there’s anything we’ve tested – because we’ve tried to test all of the fireworks ourselves so we can tell people what they do,” Cressell said. “We try to tell people how far away they (from other objects) they should place them from things like trees and buildings. We stress to shoot some fireworks off in the road and not the grass to prevent the threat of

tipping over. If there’s a firework that’s not good, we tell them that too. We don’t want to sell someone a firework that’s not that great.’ Wabash’s firework display will be held on July 3 from 8 to 10 p.m. Manchester Unversity will hold its fireworks show from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Roann’s fireworks display will take place at dusk Saturday, June 30.

The process of improving should be the focus, not the end result. If the process is in order, then the end result will take care of itself. Champions are born in the labor of defeat.

VIEWPOINT

Wabash County is the home of champions By Christine Flohr

The last time our friends from Deluxe Corporation were in Wabash, I delivered a short speech about champions. As you may recall, Deluxe chooses to champion small businesses across the country via their Small Business Revolution movement. During my remarks, I shared that my first champion in life was my Mother. She was a strong woman of German descent who poured words of wisdom over all five of her children, championing each of us in a unique way. Her hope, as with most mothers, was to remain our champion (no matter what idiotic mistakes we made) as we set sail on our own journey through life. Having champions invest their energy into someone, something, or someplace, generates a wave of prosperity. Community champions bring people and services together to improve the well-being of all, transfer knowledge, and reduce inequalities. A philanthropic mind-set has coursed through the veins of our communities for generations and that continuation sets this county apart from so many others. According to the Indiana Economic Digest, Wabash County ranks second in the state for the highest level of philanthropic giving per capita. We are a gen-

CHRISTINE FLOHR erous bunch who choose to give back to the place that we call home. As a whole, we are fighting to restore the Wabash and Eel rivers back to ecological health. We are saving and preserving historic buildings. We are filling community cupboards and sharing the spoils from our gardens. We are mentoring, volunteering, and donating our time, talent, and treasure. We are sharing ideas and resources in order to build a stronger, more vibrant “us.” We understand that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Similar to my Mother who raised five children, the role of a champion isn’t an easy path, often met with setbacks and obstacles. It’s in those moments, the tough ones, that champions choose to lean into the wind and weather the storm. My Mother remains one of my biggest champions, even though she passed away two years ago. I hear her words: “Do the next right thing” when I make mistakes. Through it all, the good, the bad, and the bumpy, we have to believe in the promise of an even better tomorrow. That’s what makes a champion, a champion. Thankfully, Wabash County is riddled with them. Christine Flohr is the executive director of tourism for Visit Wabash County.

Increase is state’s cigarette tax needed Dear Editor: A report issued by the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation makes clear that Indiana’s tobacco control program is severely underfunded, spending just 11.1 percent of what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends (based on fiscal year 2016 spending). It’s not surprising – given this lack of funding – that Indiana has higher than average smoking rates among youth and adults, along with high rates of tobacco-caused diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Meanwhile, the state will collect over half a billion dollars in revenue this year from the 1998 tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes, but will spend just over 1 percent of the money on programs to prevent kids using tobacco and help smokers quit. Indiana’s high smoking rates are hurting the state’s health, costing taxpayers and businesses more in health care costs, and undermining the state’s economic competitiveness. Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Indiana and costs the state $2.9 billion

a year in health care bills. The solution is clear: Indiana lawmakers should significantly increase the state cigarette tax and restore funding for tobacco prevention and cessation programs. By doing so, Indiana leaders can save lives and health care dollars, make the state an even stronger place to do business and help make the next generation tobacco-free. Being a part of the Tobacco Prevention Cessation Commission of the Indiana

Health Department, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition strongly encourages our legislators to make a health and economic difference by increasing the state cigarette tax and restore funding for tobacco prevention and cessation programs. We thank the Fairbanks Foundation for its leadership in commissioning this report and making the fight against tobacco a priority. – Dan Gray, Wabash County Tobacco Free executive director

museums, Indiana University Kokomo hospitality and tourism students gained a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their career field on a twoday field trip. Heather KennedyEden, assistant professor of hospitality and tourism management, led her Travel Indiana class to northeast Indiana, to gain an understanding of how those working in the industry create a great visitor experience. “When we go as a guest, we often go through the experience without thinking about how it was constructed for our benefit,” she said. “As a tourism professional, it is our job to create positive experiences for our guests, and to construct an atmosphere where positive experiences can take place, so that fond memories are created, and people want to come back.” Students met with tourism representatives from Kosciusko County at Winona Lake, lunched at an Amish restaurant and visited the Shipshewana area and Menno-Huff Museum, toured the CordD u e s e n b u r g Automobile Museum, saw Turnstone, the newest U.S.A. Paralympics training facility, walked through downtown Fort Wayne, and toured the Honeywell Center, among other activities. The trip to northeast Indiana is part of IU Kokomo’s “KEY” program — the Kokomo Experience and You.

The program launched in 2016 to provide students chances to connect with people and participate in realworld experiences. Kennedy-Eden noted that every trip includes “one profound learning opportunity” where students gain a new perspective, and Turnstone provided that chance on this trip. “This facility takes accessibility to the level it should be in society, and the students gained a greater understanding of the minor changes and architectural changes that can provide better accomodations for those in this population,” she said. Turnstone was James Bauder’s favorite destination, because of the insight he gained on making facilities accessible. “It was amazing to see what they’ve accomplished, and how it was totally built to accommodate people with disabilities,” he said. “From the way the showers were built, to the width of the hallway, you could tell they put a lot of thought into the construction of the building.” The CordD u e s e n b u r g Automobile Museum helped Mallory Maris, Kokomo, think outside the box for her career as an event planner, when she saw staff setting up for a wedding at the venue. “I thought it was neat that someone was having a wedding in such an unusual destination,” she said. “It’s not someplace a lot of peo-

ple would have considered for a wedding, but it’s memorable.” It also made her think of her home state differently in terms of tourism. “A lot of times, people think there isn’t much to do in their own states, but that’s not necessarily true,” she aid. “Now I see a lot of things offered here in our home state.” Maris, a senior, enjoyed opportunities to talk to hospitality and tourism professionals currently working in the field, for their insights and ideas. “It gave me an outlook on different aspects of the industry, and led me to be even more sure of what I want to do in my future career,” she said. Senior Brittany Devore wants to work in the hotel industry, and appreciated the chance to learn about it from people with real world experience. “You learn about things in class, you can read about it, but it’s cool to see how people use it in their day-today lives to make a better experience for tourists,” the Michigantown resident said, adding that Menno-Hoff, the Mennonite museum, was her favorite experience. “I loved that you can walk through it, and literally feel like you are walking through time,” she said. “It was interactive, and kept my attention throughout the whole tour.”

Board delays hearing on Hill Street structure By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com An unsafe building hearing scheduled for Thursday, June 21, before the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety has been tabled until August. B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens told the board that the notices for the hearing were sent to everyone listed on a title search for the structure, located at 362 E. Hill St. However, the person listed as the owner, Oval King, passed away in 2007. Stephens noted that there are four children listed in

King’s obituary, and his department is working to contact those individuals. “I feel we should have to notify them in one channel or another until we get the matter resolved,” he said. Stephens told the board that the house was brought to the department’s attention by the Wabash County Health Department because of lead based paint that was peeling on the exterior. “We investigated a little bit farther, and it continued and grew into the hearing,” he said. Stephens said he plans to work with the health department to get the structure condemned,

“because there’s no utilities. There’s no sewer, water, gas or electrical. I can do that and get the house condemned. Then we’ll look at some route to take care of.” He will update the board on Aug. 16 about the status of the building. In another matter, Wabash Fire Chief Barry Stroup received permission to seek quotes for a new chief ’s vehicle. The department would trade in the current vehicle, which is a 2005 model. He said he would like to wait until the 2019 models become available before seeking quotes.

Clerk’s office certifies fieldhouse petitions By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — In less than one week, North Manchester area residents have gathered more than enough signatures to put a controversial project to referendum this November. Wabash County Clerk Elaine Martin confirmed on Tuesday, June 19, that 535 registered voters signed petitions requesting that Manchester Community Schools’ proposed construction project, which is projected to cost around $26 million after interest. The project includes safety renovations at all four MCS facilities, an advanced manufacturing lab, a new roof at M a n c h e s t e r Administration Office, turf for the Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School football field, and a roughly $15 million Squire Fieldhouse, to be built between MAO and MJSHS. While most community and school board members approve of the safety renovations and advanced manufacturing lab, the fieldhouse is a point of contention for all. The school board voted in early June to proceed with the project, triggering a 30-day window for the community to gather signatures to put the project to referendum.

Indiana law regarding the referendum requires only 525 signatures. Martin said that more than the verified 535 came in, but will not be counted. Martin said that this is the first time her office has ever handled this sort of request. “This doesn’t happen all that often,” she said. “When an entity like the school asks us for petitions, we have to get the paperwork from the state board of accounts.” Next, MCS filled out the forms with the question for the petition and returned them to the clerk’s office. Martin said that MCS attorney Mark Frantz picked up the petitions to disburse to the public. “He knew that there were quite a few people in the North Manchester area that were wanting to start obtaining the signatures, so he took 20 sets of petitions with him.” According to Frantz, the school corporation still has a long way to go before the question is on this November’s ballot. Now that the clerk’s office has confirmed the number of registered voters that they have certified, the school must submit the actual question to appear on the ballot to the county election board, who must approve it. “The question is then submitted to the

Department of Local Government Finance for their review and either approval or modification,” he said. “If we can get all of that done, the question should be on the ballot for November.” The deadline for that process is noon Aug. 1. “The time constraints that we were afraid of have passed, I think, just because Dave Terflinger did an amazing job getting over 525 signatures in a very quick time period,” Frantz said, “and the … county voter registration office did an amazing job counting all of those signatures, verifying them, in a very short amount of time. “It’s still not a guarantee that we’ll make it to the November ballot, but we are in a much better position to get on it than I think we were when we started the process.” Martin noted that Deputy Clerk Teresa Ehret, who is in charge of elections and voter registration, verified the signatures. “I have an aweseme deputy clerk … who gets a project in hand and won’t stop until it’s done,” Martin said of the relative speed of the certification process. “She was able to put some other things aside and give it 100 percent attention today. She’s extremely good at her job, so she went through all of those.

House fire causes extensive damage By The Paper staff

A house fire did extensive damage to a home on Wabash’s south side Sunday night. The Wabash Fire Department was dispatched to a house at 837 Berkley Dr. on Sunday, June 24, at 9:40 p.m. The first units on

the scene reported smoke coming from the residence, but all occupants were able to exit the house. The fire was extinguished by 10:55 p.m., with damage estimated at $45,000. All crews were back in service by 11:48 p.m. The Wabash City Fire Department is

investigating the cause and origin of the fire, which appears to have started in the rear of the structure. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Those with questions may contact Wabash City Fire Chief Barry Stroup at 260-563-3521.

Copies of the required bid package, including specifications and a prospective form of a contract to be executed by the winning bidder, are available in District’s office at 1101 Manchester Avenue, Wabash, Indiana 46992. Bids may be submitted to the District office until the commencement of the Board of Directors Meeting of the District, (herein after the “Board”), to be held at the District office on August 13, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. Wabash time. Bids must be submitted not later than the commencement of the Board of Directors meeting to be held August 13, 2018 in the Conference Room of the District office at 1101 Manchester Avenue, Wabash, Indiana 46992 at 1:00 P.M. local time. Bids must be sealed and addressed to the District and plainly marked “Proposal for Collection and Processing of Recyclable Material Contract 2019-2021”. Bids not received before the commencement of this meeting will not be considered and will be returned unopened. Bids will be opened at this meeting. A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held at 1:00P.M. prevailing local time, on July 5, 2018 at the District office, 1101 Manchester Avenue, Wabash, Indiana. This meeting will serve to register prospective bidders and provide District personnel to answer any questions developed by prospective bidders in their reading of the Request for Proposals. At this meeting prospective bidders will be able to schedule a time and dates to visit District recyclables collection sites and familiarize themselves with the rural recycling drop-off program. This site visit is mandatory for all prospective bidders, failure to attend is not an immaterial defect, and will result in a bid being rejected. All bids shall be accompanied by a certified check or bidder’s bond for 10% of the bid amount; non-collusion affidavit; financial statement; statement of experience; the equipment available for the performance of the work; and, the bidder’s plans for performing the work payable to the District; all on forms approved by the State Board of Accounts and available from the District office. All forms may be picked up with the proposed recycle collection agreement. The Bid Bond (or check) shall guarantee that if the bid is accepted, the bidder will execute the Contract, which is distributed as a part of the package, in substantially the same form excepted edited to conform to the terms of the proposal, within sixty (60) days of its award. Failure or refusal of the successful bidder to enter in the Contract within sixty (60) days of award will result in the forfeiture of the Bid Bond (or check) to the District as liquidated damages. Forfeiture of the security shall be the sole remedy of the District. Award of the Contract may then be made to the next most qualified bidder or the work re-advertised for bids, at the sole determination of the District. The Bid Bond of all bidders will be held until the Contract is executed.
