Reconfiguration meetings planned Dates set for hearings on high school plans; Board members mum on questions posed by The Paper of Wabash

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Northfield and Southwood’s reconfiguration plans will be discussed during two public hearings in August. MSD Interim Superintendent Mike Keaffaber announced the meetings – Aug. 15 and Aug. 17 - on Friday, July 22. Nearly two weeks ago, the MSD School Board voted on July 12 to reconfigure the schools into one

school system in 2017. The plans include turning Northfield’s facility into a high school, Southwood’s facility into a middle school and closing Sharp Creek Elementary. Metro North Elementary and Southwood Elementary will remain as Kindergarten through fourth grade educational facilities. The motion was brought forth by Board member John Gouveia during the “Items from Board Members” section of the meeting. The Paper of Wabash County is

investigating whether the vote was legal under the Indiana Open Door Law. Attempts to obtain comments from the board members have been unsuccessful.

Public meetings

In Keaffaber’s July 22 announcement, he said he understands that the reconfiguration was an emotional decision. “I truly believe we will be able to create the best educational opportu(continued on page 5)

Revolution ends with celebration By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com After 10 weeks, the Small Business Revolution in Wabash drew to a close Thursday night, July 21, with music, food and drink. Robert Herjavec and Amanda

Brinkman spoke to about 150 people gathered at the Honeywell Center Plaza to celebrate the completion of filming for an upcoming web series filmed in Wabash. Herjavec, a host on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” noted that the people in Wabash are extremely special and are one of the reasons that the city won the Small

Business Revolution to win the prize package sponsored by Deluxe Corp. “It’s a real pleasure to be here,” he said. “Everyone is so warm and inviting. I went out for a run and people would honk and wave, really, it’s incredible the community that you have and the support you were (continued on page 6)

2 homes to get asbestos testing By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com City

Building

Commissioner John Stephens has ordered asbestos tests on two homes prior to demolition, the Wabash Board of

Public Works and Safety learned Thursday, July 21. The homes are located at 494 N. Miami St. and 107

Walnut St. The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety ordered the North Miami Street home demolished when it met July 7. The home is owned by Begler Properties of Pueblo, Colo. At the July 7 meeting, Stephens told the board several things about the home, including the fact that a door to a crawl space is open, allowing people or animals access. The board declared the home unsafe and ordered it demol-

ished. Joseph Harter, owner of the Walnut Street home, told the board that he would like to deed the property over to the city. With the asbestos tests ordered, Stephens told the board that the city could receive bids to demolish the North Miami Street home at its next meeting, Aug.4. Since the Walnut Street home was deeded to the city, Mayor Scot Long said that city crews could demolish it.

The property, he said, could eventually be turned over to Habitat for Humanity. The board also received updates on two other homes. Justin Brooks told the board he has finished siding a home at 453 E. Main St., and ran out of paint to finish painting a portion that isn’t sided. He was to receive more paint to finish the job and once that is done, the restoration work will be complete. He also told the

board that he has received a few inquiries into buying the house. Board members urged him to keep the grass mowed until the home is sold. It also learned that Armando Guerrero has fixed a hole in the roof at 421 Cass St., and is continuing to make repairs to the structure. He purchased it from its former owners, William and Vickie Tackett, through a quitclaim deed.

Indiana Deer Hunters provide hunger relief By the DNR I n d i a n a Conservation Officers have received the 20152016 final tally of meals provided by Indiana Deer Hunters for hunger relief through the S p o r t s m e n ’ s Benevolent Fund.

During the 20152016 Indiana deer season, hunters donated 1,333 deer to assist hungry Hoosiers. These donations were coordinated through an effort of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, Indiana Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry and the Dubois County Sportsmen’s Club. Each of these organizations were provided a DNR Law E n fo rc e m e n t Division grant that permitted them to coordinate with licensed deer processors. The venison was ground by the processors into 2 pound packages of burger. The burger was then collected by food banks and distributed as needed to feed families across

the state. A total of 67,339 pounds of venison was distributed at a cost of $1.27 per pound., meaning 269,356 meals were provided at the cost of .317 cents per meal. “The Sportsmen’s Benevolent Fund is one of many DNR Law Enforcement programs that I am proud to be a part of ”, said Danny L. East, DNR Law E n fo rc e m e n t Director. “The Law E n fo rc e m e n t Division continues to work on ways to assist our citizens across our state and we say thank you to all the deer hunters who contributed to this effort.” The Sportsmen Benevolent Fund was begun by

Senator Mike Crider in 2008 when he sat as the Law E n fo rc e m e n t Division Director. The program became publicly funded in 2013 through a bill that was introduced by Senators Crider and Brent Steele. “This program gives our Indiana deer hunters additional purpose to enjoy the outdoors and harvest a deer to assist our citizens in need”, said Mike Crider, Senator. “Our deer population is managed well, our hunters are provided with more opportunity and our citizens are provided very high protein meals for nourishment, it seems like a win, win, win situation for all of us”.

Kids Hope, mentoring students to make a difference By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com

There is a growing number of children across the United States, including here in Wabash County, whose social and emotional needs limit their motivation and ability to learn during the school day. Kids Hope USA is a nationwide mentoring program that helps make a positive difference in a child’s life who may be struggling with this. It has been in existence for 21 years and today has 1,069 programs in 32 states

across the U.S. In Indiana, there are more than 155 programs. In Wabash, there are three different Kids Hope programs a child can sign up to help them benefit from the extra attention and mentoring. Metro North Elementary School is in its third year with the Kids Hope program. Bachelor Creek Church of Christ is the partner church, led by Director Ryan Rosen. “Seeing the excitement in the eyes of our kids when their mentor shows up is one of the most

rewarding things in my life,” Rosen said. “It’s hard to believe that one hour a week can have a profound impact on the life of a child, but it does!” Currently, there are about 50 kids in the M e t r o North/Bachelor Creek Kids Hope program. S o u t h w o o d Elementary School is beginning its second year with Kids Hope, partnering with Wabash Friends Church. This program is led by director Lauren Dale. “I am grateful for the supportive staff at SES and for the devo-

tion of all the mentors from the church,” Dale said. There are 15 children involved with Southwood/Friends Kids Hope. This school year, O.J. Neighbors School, partnered with the First United Methodist Church of Wabash and the Presbyterian Church in Wabash, will begin it’s first year of having a Kids Hope program, led by Director Tracy Peas. Mentors will begin meeting with students in September at O.J Neighbors. The support from Principal Danielle

MCS to lose $60,000 in federal funding By David Purvis-Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools is facing a reduction in funding through Title 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. “Sometimes schools use [Title 1 funds] to buy things. Maybe they’ll spend it on technology, maybe they’ll spend it on extracurricular resources. We believe in the philosophy, here in Manchester Community Schools, that we put that money into people, because it’s a quality person in front of the kid that has the most impact on their education,” MES Principal Joseph Rodgers said. Last year MCS received approximately $295,000 from the Title 1 grant, Rodgers said. This year, it’s down to approximately $233,000, a cut of just over $60,000. He said Manchester Elementary School receives the district’s Title 1 grant, and MES uses these funds to pay personnel who focus on helping children learn to read. No jobs have been lost due to the funding cut. The grant will be supplemented with funds from the district’s general fund in order to keep personnel. “It’s just very hard to budget for these type of things when you put personnel into a grant like this, and then it gets cut $60,000. It’s not like you can get rid of

$60,000 worth of personnel,” MCS Business Manager Scott Bumgardner said. Positions paid from the Title 1 grant include a reading interventionist, Beth Rosen, who analyzes data to determine which students need extra assistance with reading and provides them with services. There are also two interventionist aides who assist with this. “Their whole job is to look at our reading data, find those kids that are a little bit behind, and then catch them up,” Rodgers said. Additionally, some classroom aides working in a variety of classrooms are paid using Title 1 funds. These aides lead reading groups, focusing on the students who may be behind but also interacting with all students in the room. “We know how to teach reading here at Manchester. We will teach your kid how to read, and we will use those resources to the max,” Rodgers said. “We don’t want to lose those people because they’re valuable. They’re valuable to the school, to the kids and the families, and to the teachers, so we don’t want to lose those people. So, now what do we do?” According to Bumgardner, MCS is not the only district facing the Title 1 cuts. “We’re not alone in this. Everybody across the state got cut,” Bumgardner said. Title 1 funds could

be distributed throughout the three schools in MCS, but the district chooses to focus those funds on elementary school students, Rodgers said. “Early intervention is the philosophy that we use here,” he said. “We could use the money in the other buildings, but we feel that catching those kids early that might be at risk of having trouble in reading is the way to go, and we’ve had success doing that,” Rodgers said. The Indiana DOE provides districts with a planning allocation, which the districts use to budget their Title 1 funds. However, this is subject to change, which makes budgeting for personnel difficult for MCS. “With that money we employ 11 people,” Rodgers said. “You take away $60,000, and that could be a couple of positions.” The district should receive its actual grant amount between August and September. According to the U.S. Department of Education’s website, Title 1, Part A is a provision of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act which provides funding to state educational agencies such as the Indiana Department of Education to assist schools with high numbers or percentages of students from low-income families. The site says that through Title 1, federal funds are allocated

through four statutory formulas based mainly on census poverty estimates and the cost of education. Schools receiving funds through Title 1 must focus services paid for by the funds on students who are failing to meet, or most at risk of not meeting, state academic standards. If 40 percent or more of a school’s enrollment come from low-income families, the school may use the funds for schoolwide programs. These programs “upgrade [the school’s] entire educational program to improve achievement for all students, particularly the lowestachieving students,” according to the DOE’s website.

Miller and the school staff has been overwhelming, according to Peas. Kids Hope is a church and elementary school partnership that trains and matches mentors with a child based on the child’s needs and personality and on the mentor’s availability. While this is a church/school partnership, no religious activity of any kind takes place on school property and mentors are trained to abide by the rules of the host organization, respecting churchstate separation. Kids Hope mentors are not tutors, psychologists, or counselors. Rather, these mentors are individuals who care about the community and who want to invest in a local child’s life and well-being. Each mentor is paired with one student for one hour a week during the school year. During their time together they play games, read books, talk, and have fun. Even though the mentors are not tutors, if

the child’s teacher wishes for them to have assistance with a particular assignment or project that they are struggling with, they may also spend some of their time working on that. This program’s goal is to focus on the child’s emotional, social, and academic needs. Having a mentor that is consistently beside them and encouraging them during the time in their lives when morals, self-confidence, and academic skills are developed can help children become better learners. Over 50 percent of the requests for Kids Hope programs come from teachers and principles. Teachers also say that 99 percent of students benefit from their relationship with their Kids Hope mentor, improving in their overall attitude and behavior, which often boosts academic performance. Directors, teachers, and principals believe that the benefits of having a Kids Hope mentor are huge because if a student is struggling with needs

beyond academics, having a mentor provide one-on-one attention to the child may make all the difference. “Kids Hope has been a real blessing to the Metro North family,” Metro North Principal Janette Moore said. “Seeing both the church community and education community come together to invest in those students whose needs are the greatest has been a match made in Heaven.” For more information on the National Kids Hope program, v i s i t KidsHopeUSA.org.

Doors will open Aug. 4 at 6 p.m. and Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. for the giveaway. While students and faculty prepare to return to classrooms, Chief Business Officer Matt Stone thanked WCS janitor staff for keeping the facilities clean and

getting the schools ready for the next year. “I would certainly like to thank Mr. (Bruce) Maxwell and all of our custodians for all the hard work they do all summer,” Stone said. “You know, everyone else is off and they’re busting it whether it’s Bruce getting the drainage and the yard done at the middle school … and then our guys in the buildings trying to work around summer school and summer athletics and

everything we do all summer long. They get the buildings ready and they do a great job. “While were (on the topic), we need to thank Parkview and Hofffman’s (Nursery) for donating the façade that went into the middle school courtyard. That was awful nice of them to do that.” In other news, the Board accepted a $500 donation from Tim Ross to pain the school’s ticket booth as well as a $25,000

grant from the S u n d h e i m e r Foundation, which will be used toward the development of an accessible playground at O.J. Neighbours Elementary School. “It’s very exciting and we’re just so appreciative to the S u n d h e i m e r Foundation,” Callahan said. “They have given a lot to this community to make it more accessible for all and more inclusive, less exclusive.”

INDIANAPOLIS — State health officials are urging Indiana residents to take steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites amid an increase in West Nile virus activity in mosquitoes across the state. As of July 15, one human case of West Nile virus has been confirmed in Marion County, and mosquitoes in Marion, Hamilton, Jennings

and Benton counties have tested positive for West Nile virus. The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) expects to continue to see increased West Nile activity throughout the state as the mosquito season progresses. “Each year, we see people become ill with West Nile virus as a result of mosquito bites,” said State Health Commissioner Jerome Adams, M.D., M.P.H. ”Finding the virus in mosquitoes

from multiple counties means that the risk is starting to increase statewide. I urge all Hoosiers to protect themselves from bites, which will protect against West Nile and other viruses transmitted by mosquitoes.” State health officials recommend the following preventive measures: Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are active (especially late afternoon, dusk to dawn and early morning); Apply an EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus or paramenthane-diol to clothes and exposed skin; Cover exposed skin by wearing a hat, long sleeves and long pants in places where mosquitoes are especially active, such as wooded areas; Install or repair screens on windows

and doors to keep mosquitoes out of the home. Even a container as small as a bottle cap can become a mosquito breeding ground, so residents should take the following steps to eliminate potential breeding grounds: Discard old tires, tin cans, ceramic pots or other containers that can hold water; Repair failed septic systems; Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers left outdoors; Keep grass cut short and shrubbery trimmed; Clean clogged roof gutters, particularly if leaves tend to plug up the drains; Frequently replace the water in pet bowls; Flush ornamental fountains and birdbaths periodically; and, Aerate ornamental pools, or stock them with predatory

fish. West Nile virus can cause West Nile fever, a mild form of the illness, which can include fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph glands or a rash. Some individuals will develop a more severe form of the disease affecting the nervous system, including inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, muscle paralysis, or even death. People who think they may have West Nile virus should see their healthcare provider. To see the latest results of ISDH’s mosquito surveillance, go t o https://gis.in.gov/app s/ISDH/Arbo/.

nities and experiences for our students,” he said. “Education is about the people and not the buildings. Our staff takes great pride in building positive relationships and developing community.” The public forums have been scheduled as follows: • Aug. 15 at Northfield High School at 6:30 p.m. • Aug. 17 at Southwood High School at 6:30 p.m. “We will meet in the auditorium to explain the plan and give statistics,” Keaffaber said. “We will then break out into groups to take questions and gather input.

Questions from the community will more than likely prompt more investigation prior to answering.” After the forums, a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) will be created and posted on MSD’s website.

Questions remain In multiple emails to the board, The Paper requested comments on the following questions: • When and under what setting did the Board begin discussions on the proposal or proposal options, officially, before the Board reached its

public vote? • A member of the public contacted The Paper stating that, following the meeting, a board member confirmed that this plan was the last option on a 10-year plan for the district. Therefore, did the Board have plans to reconfigure the high schools for at least 10 years? • If this decision was not meant to be secret or kept from the public, why choose to discuss the final proposal outside of regular meetings, not place it on the agenda and thereby claiming that the plan was “leaked” to the public even though discussions have been

ongoing for some time? During the board’s July 12 regular meeting, board member Troy Baer told the audience, “I hope the public understands that this isn’t a kneejerk reaction. We’ve been looking at all kinds of alternatives for a long time, a lot of executive sessions, and when you devote yourself academically and fiscally with an informed decision, I think it makes all the sense in the world to explore that.” During the past year, the MSD School Board had executive sessions to discuss collective bargaining, job performance

superintendent evaluation, job performance of employees, school board training, collective bargaining and personnel. The Board had one executive session to meet with consultant Dr. Bruce Stahly in August 2015. Stahly, who retired as Goshen Community Schools superintendent in 2012, is the former deputy superintendent, assistant superintendent, business manager at MSD of Wabash County, School City of Mishawaka, and South Bend Community Schools.

one of the communities picked,” he said. “We’d like to thank OCRA for everything it does. We are very, very excited for us to have been picked.” Part of the project, he said, will be to have a centralized location to chlorinate the water. In addition, the water tower will be stripped of its existing paint before

being repainted. “That will add life to the paint,” Ferguson said. The town will also put a mixer in the water tower, he said, to keep the chlorination stirred up. In addition, a portion of the town’s waterlines will be put into a loop to help provide better service. “If there is a deadend main, the water

can only travel in one direction,” Roann Water Superintendent Bruce Shaw explained. “If the main is looped in, the water will travel in the direction of the highest flow. “It does a better job of keeping the water fresh.” Like Ferguson, Shaw said he was pleased the community received the funds.

“These are things that were going to have to be done,” he said. “With the grant, we won’t have to put things off.” It also will help in keeping the water rates from receiving a considerable rate increase. Eric Holcomb, in announcing the grants, said, “I applaud the efforts of the sixteen communi-

ties who applied for and are receiving grant funding to support efforts to ensure a solid infrastructure for those who work, live and play in their cities and towns. It is critical for the wellbeing of our state to have quality drinking water, storm water systems and public facilities in order for communities to thrive.”

Kirk named North Manchester chief of police ... continued from the front page Kirk is looking forward to the experience as Chief of Police. “Things have gone well here so far, and I’m getting to know all the guys a lot better,” he said. “I think we have a great bunch of officers here. “I want the department to be a more professional department, and I think we are heading in the right direction,” Kirk added. “We want to be courteous and keep the community safe. I want people to respect us, especially with all the bad publicity law enforcement is getting. We want to fight crime and fight the drugs.” Kirk noted that the officers are doing just that with traffic stops that have led to numerous drug busts. “Anytime you have drugs, they have to go from place to place to transport them,” he said. He added that the NMPD will work with

the Wabash County Drug Task Force to try to get the dealers. “That’s our main concern, but we are here obviously for all of the other things. We are just here to serve the community. “We like this community. I want to stay in this community,” he

said. “We play on spending more time here on my time off, coming to eat, or go to activities around town.” Kirk is married to his wife, Karyl, and they have three adult children, Hannah, Abby, and Noah.

was much appreciated.” Olsen responded, “I appreciate your confidence and faith in me.” Fellow Council member Allen Miracle pointed out that Olsen did not put his name in to be Chief. “We would have been more than happy to consider him as well,” Miracle said. “We appreciate everything he has done.” After being sworn in, Kirk went right to work with two recommendations for employment. He recommended hiring Randy Miller, who is major with the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, to be the new Detective, and Parker Stouffer, who is currently a Wabash County probation officer, to be hired as an officer with the department.

“Not all decisions are easy,” Gouveia said, “but I was elected as were my peers to represent the constituency of the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County and in doing so have the trust to take the fiscal resources and make sure they are deploring the maximum benefit to the students of MSD of Wabash County.” Within the past year, the MSD of Wabash County School Board has not advertised in any executive session agenda that it would be discussing the plans to reconfigure the Northfield and Southwood school systems. The Board’s regular meeting minutes from Jan. 27, 2015, to June 14, 2016, had no mention of the reconfiguration plans either. On the Board’s July 26 regular meeting agenda, no item is listed to further discuss the reconfiguration plans.

cations and discussions that we had, we chose to offer Jim Kirk the Chief of Police job,” Council member Toby Tobias said in the meeting. With Kirk accepting the position of Chief, Olsen literally passed the chief badge to him, but Olsen’s contribution to the NMPD over the last seven weeks didn’t go unnoticed by the Town Council. Tobias suggested that Olsen have the official title of Interim Chief removed, and allow him to retire as Steve Olsen, Chief of Police, retired. “Steve Olsen was anything but interim,” Tobias said. “He stepped up at a time of extremely great need and performed admirably.” Council member Tom Dale added, “Steve did a heck of a job coming to a department that was in some turmoil and was a very steady hand in his short time there.

governing bodies may meet in executive session for reasons including discussion of strategies such as collective bargaining, discussion of assessment, discuss job performance evaluation of individual employees and to train board members with an outside consultant among other reasons. However, the Open Door Law, which applies to all governing bodies, also states that memoranda and minutes for executive sessions “must identify the subject matter considered by specific reference to the enumerated instance or instances for which public notice was given.” The governing body must then clarify by statement in the memoranda and minutes that no other subject matter was discussed, the law continues. During the board’s July 12 meeting, Gouveia touted that the decision to reconfigure was the board’s right as elected officials.

able to gather.” He also said he was astonished by the vote totals in the online contest. “I thought there would be about 20,000 votes for this contest, in total,” he said. “Amanda proved me wrong, yet again, and there were over 180,000 votes for this contest,

and you guys won.” He also said the moniker of “small town” is wrong. “It implies that you guys are small,” Herjavec said. “I always think that you’re only small when to begin to think and be limited by your dreams. You’re never small when you have

big dreams, and big aspirations, and big hopes. This is a great community, and you can do anything you want.” He said he believes that “Wabash has everything in this small town to make it into a big town.” Brinkman, Deluxe Corporation’s chief

Robert Herjavec and Amanda Brinkman toast the crowd gathered Thursday night at the Honeywell Center Plaza. Photo by Joseph Slacian brand and communications officer, reflected on May 12, when Wabash was named the winner over Silverton, Ore., in the Small Business Revolution contest during a rally at the Historic Eagles Theatre. “And the sound that erupted from that room, I was hiding in the back, moved me to my core,” she said. “I heard something different in that cheer. Sure, I heard your joy and excitement over winning, I heard you realize that when your community comes together on a common goal that anything is possible. I heard in that cheer that you realized that the world is about to discover how special Wabash really is. I heard you realize yourself how special of a place this is.” Brinkman, who lives in Minnesota, said that whenever she would return to Wabash over the last 10 weeks, she felt as if she were returning to her home. “When I turn off of 24 onto Stitt Street, I feel like I’m coming

home,” she said. “How do you do that? How do you make it so welcoming? This community is just chocked full of generous, warm, sincere people, and I’m blessed to know them. When we’re walking down the street, you guys stop us, and thank us, and say, ‘Do you have any idea how much Deluxe is changing lives? Does Deluxe realize you guys are changing our community, our business, but you’re also changing our pride?’ “Wabash could very well be the greatest city in the world.” Steve Downs, executive director of Wabash Marketplace Inc., introduced the pair to the crowd. He also spoke briefly about the impact that Deluxe has had on the community. “For years it’s been losing population,” he said of the community. “It’s been losing employment. And yet, our city fathers and our county fathers continue to work together and simply continue to increase their efforts to keep things on an even

keel and improve life in Wabash. “To have someone from Deluxe Corporation essentially say we like what you’re doing, you’re doing a good job, gives us a lift and bodes well for the future. Especially, however, you have validated our small business owners. We have for many years listened to the struggles that have gone on. These people go to work every day, they work hard, they pay their taxes, they pay their bills, they pay their employees, then they come home and tell us the good things and they tell us the bad things. “Deluxe – a company with the prestige and experience and knowledge – came in and said to our small business owners you are doing it right. Those who are not doing it right or need help, they are telling them how to get this done and how to move forward and how to be a success, which helps not only the families, the spouses and the entire city, but all of the citizens of Wabash. Simply listening to what the small business owners have been talking about and what they have been going through is just a remarkable contribution to that Deluxe Corp has made to us.” For winning the contest, Deluxe Corp. contributed $500,000 in goods and services to

businesses around Wabash. Six businesses – Schlemmer Brothers, The Eclectic Shop, Thriftalicious, Harry’s Old Kettle Saloon, Ellen’s and Filament Tattoo Co. – received special attention from the group. Deluxe also paid to have a park placed at the corner of Wabash and Canal streets, at the site of the former Mammoth Building, and it also paid for new signage that have been placed around the downtown area. Following the celebratory remarks, which also saw Wabash Marketplace Inc. receive a $20,000 donation and Visit Wabash County a $10,000 donation from Deluxe, Herjavec and Brinkman led the group in a champagne toast. Christine Flohr, tourism director for Visit Wabash County, and Downs both expressed surprise and appreciation for the donations. Brinkman told The Paper of Wabash County that Deluxe representatives will return to the city later this year prior to the premiere of the online web series filmed by Flow Non-fiction. “We’re excited to stay in touch with Wabash,” she said. “This is not the end of our relationship with Wabash. We plan to check in on a regular basis – we’re not quite sure what that is – but Wabash will never be far from us.” Matt Tedder of Austin, Texas, a recording artist who appeared on season 10 of the NBC-TV show “The Voice,” performed a free concert on the Plaza to wrap up the evening.

In competition I admit I have secretly hoped my opponent would miss a shot, but I always get greater satisfaction by realizing my opponent hit a winner; it took his best to beat me. When someone succeeds take sincere pleasure in their success; your life will be much improved.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Local man’s beer to be featured at tasting By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A Wabash home brewer’s wares will be featured Friday night during the “July Gathering of the Tasting Society” in Indianapolis. Jim Reynolds, president of J.M. Reynolds Oil Company, will have six of his beers featured at the event, organized by Indiana on Tap. The event will take place from 7-11 p.m. Friday, July 29, at The Speak Easy, 55 Winthrop Ave., Indianapolis. “What they do is invite craft breweries, craft wineries, eclectic food companies and some craft coffee companies” to show off their goods, he said. Indiana on Tap first

learned about Reynolds last fall during a visit to Wabash. “Indiana on Tap came to town last fall to visit our nice, little artsy town that has started making a name for itself because of Stellar, I believe,” Reynolds said. “They came to town and spent the weekend at Charley Creek Inn reviewing what Wabash had to offer as a destination place. “Christine Flohr (director of tourism with Visit Wabash County) asked me to put together a little selection of my beers, so I put together a little care package for them that we left in the room.” Indiana on Tap founder/president Justin Knepp got a hold of the samples and later

contacted Reynolds to be featured in one of the group’s events. “We’ve been talking about it for awhile,” Reynolds said. “They approached me back in February, and it’s taken this long for me to get in line. They always ask two breweries and then they ask a home brewer to present their wares. “I was honored by them asking me that someone actually wants the public to taste my beers. I’ve always been told I make good beer. No one has ever told me that it was not good, other than people who don’t drink beer.” Reynolds has been home brewing for about four years. It was actually Flohr’s husband, Brooks, who introduced him to the hobby. It takes about four weeks to complete a

batch of beer, he said. “It takes about six hours to brew a batch of beer, just to cook it,” Reynolds said. “Then you have to ferment it for a couple of weeks, then you have to carbonate it for another week. It takes about four weeks from start to finish to create a batch of beer.” Fresh ingredients are one of the key aspects of making a good batch of beer, Reynolds said. “Outside of ingredients, you have to make sure you control your temperatures,” he continued. “Not just your cooking temperatures, your mashing temperatures, which is a process of making beer, but your fermentation temperatures. So the two important things are quality ingredients and temperatures.”

For Friday, Reynolds had to produce 30 gallons of beer to be sampled. He plans on taking six different varieties – all with oil-related names. His samples will include “The Wildcatter,” a very hard cider; “Sunrise Delivery,” a grapefruit session; “Strategic Lemonade Reserve,” a lemonade session; “Top off Your Tank APA,” a mosaic amber APA; “Sweet Citrus Crude,” a citra orange ale, and “Petratart Gose,” a lime gose.” While Reynolds enjoys brewing beer, he sees it as nothing more than a hobby. “I looked into creating a brewery one time, but the dollars … you have to be really serious,” he said. “I have a full-time job here run-

ning this business. “You have to be the brewer, you have to be the salesman, you have to be the guy dispensing. I’ve got a full-time

job here. “For now, I’ll just keep giving free beer to all of my friends.”

A N O T H E R UPDATE FROM MALAWI, AFRICA, BY AUSTIN AND SARAH CARROTHERS: First of all it is great to note that Austin, Jayden, and Wyatt have recovered from their repeated bouts of malaria. Part of the mission the Carrothers family is involved with is the Harvest Hope Home

orphanage. Their last letter home shared some of what has been going on at Harvest Hope. “The children enjoy having school on the campus instead of walking three miles to school. In the past month Harvest Hope has placed five more children with the Willas family. The Willas family moved here (Malawi) in January with their three children and now are a family of ten. Total count for the Harvest Hope Home is now up to 55. There have been plans to add another family within the end of this year. Many of the children have been sick lately with malaria. Even

though they do have windows on their homes, we are wanting to place screens over the windows and do some work on the homes that have started to crack. Please be in prayer for the many people who will get malaria this season. We are blessed here at Gospelink to afford the medical care that is needed to treat it (malaria) but many people around us can’t afford to receive it even though there are two big clinics near us. We are so excited to take the mothers to a big market in Lilongwe to buy the children new clothes. Children from our home church in Indiana with help from

another supporting church raised the funds” for the mothers to go to the market. (Next week the concluding article on how Austin and Sarah spend their time.)

Dear Editor: As a former patron and perennial taxpayer of the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County I have been intrigued by the recent press coverage of the impending “merger,” “reconfiguration” and possible Open Door violations. Very likely, most of the rational, such as more efficient class size, are quite reasonable and accurate. However, I was quite

disappointed to see no mention of a possible merger or consolidation with Wabash City Schools and possibly, heaven forbid, with M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools. I would think that any claim of being fiscally responsible would, by it’s very nature, include these types of discussions. We hear rumors that sometime the state will force consolidation. If that is the

case, it would be better to have voluntary merger that would give local citizens more input into the process. I recently asked David Wolkins, our state representative, if there is any likelihood of the state reversing it’s longtime trend of gradually shifting state funding from the public school sector to the private, charter or parochial schools. He

indicated that would be quite unlikely. Apparently the state plans to continue tightening the squeeze on all our public schools. The three school districts have served Wabash County rather well for the past 50 years. It is time to take a “big picture look” and decide if changes should be made for the next 50. – Dean Eppley, Rural Wabash

Restoring a beautiful America Dear Editor: Are you tired of seeing all the trash along our roadways? Can we come up with any

solution so the trash makes it home to our trashcan? Does anyone recycle any more? How worthless is

Styrofoam? Can we get it replaced with recyclable plastic? Does anyone care besides me?

Let’s do what we can to restore America the beautiful. – Aleeta Metzger, North Manchester

Bash Boutique to partner with Wabash River Defenders By The Paper staff

Wabash Rivers Defenders (WRD) is conducting its fourth cleanup of the Wabash River. Known as “Clean Out the Banks,” the event will take place Saturday, July 30 beginning at 8 a.m. in Paradise Spring Historical Park Park. As part of its continuing philanthropic efforts, Bash Boutique is announcing plans to coordinate its fundraising to coincide with the downtown Wabash First Friday, Aug. 5 by donating 10 percent of its sales that day to the Wabash River Defenders. Initially organized in 2011, the Wabash

River Defenders is a volunteer group of concerned residents, landowners, and recreational users who remove debris from the river as a means to conserve and improve the water quality, natural resources, ecosystems, and scenic beauty of that portion of the Wabash River watershed that flows through Wabash County. The group’s three previous “Clean Out the Banks” events have led to the removal of more than 125,000 pounds of tires, scrap steel, and construction materials from the Wabash River. “We believe it is our corporate responsibility to promote WRD, especially since we have received so

much help from Wabash and the surrounding communities. We couldn’t be more grateful for the enthusiastic interest we have enjoyed,” Bash Boutique owner Amber Noone said. “So, now we feel it is important to assist those who preserve, protect, and defend the Wabash River— certainly one of the most remarkable of all natural resources in Indiana, and one which deserves our collective effort to help preserve it through support of the Wabash River Defenders’ activities.” Bash Boutique is located in downtown Wabash at 49 West Market Street and is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Yohe retiring after 40 years in real estate By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com

Elden Yohe began his own Broker/Realtor agency in Wabash, “Yohe Realty”, in 1977 and now, almost 40 years later, is ready to close the business and retire at age 96. Yohe Realty is officially closing on July 31. For the last five

months, Yohe has been working from his home while his secretary runs the office in downtown Wabash. He will continue dealing with his rentals and taking phone calls/appointments until the last day of July. “Well age 96 was a big factor,” Yohe laughs as he explains why he’s decided to retire. “My health is

good, my mind is good, I’m active. [My wife] helps me with my rentals, my office is over at the dining table now instead of the desk downtown and it’s just time to quit. Ninety-six is just it.” Before he started Yohe Realty, a counselor told him to do what he knows and stick with it. “He told me ‘Don’t reinvent your education. Do something you’ve always done’,” Yohe said. At this point, Yohe had bought and sold 13 properties privately, so he went into real estate on this counselors suggestion. The counselor had a good hunch, because in 1984 and in 1985

Yohe was named Realtor of the Year. “It has been a very satisfying and rewarding experience,” Yohe said. However, the constant evolution of technology made Yohe feel like it had outgrown his business as well as his technological skills. “The technology, the computers, the legal profession kept adding to it and adding to it, and now it’s a maze,” Yohe said. Yohe was raised on a farm in Ohio during the Great Depression and later graduated high school as salutation of his class in 1937. He continued his education at Manchester College, later transferring to Ohio State University, graduating in 1943 with a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture. After college, he spent nearly four years in the Selective Service Alternative Work program, under the rising of the Church of the Brethren. Being involved in helping build the Wabash Church of the Brethren on Bond Street is one of Yohe’s most memorable experiences. After his first career, he married Jean Hollar in 1946 and took over the home diary farm. Soon following this,

he became involved in the “Heifer’s for Relief Project”, being the first ‘flying cowboy’ with this program. He later moved his dairy herd to Indiana and bought a small grain elevator and feed mill near Marion County. After a few years, he increased the size of his business and bought bigger grain and feed equipment and called it ‘Wabash Feed and Farm Supply’. This career lasted him for the next 20 years of his life. In 1975, he became a federal egg inspector and simultaneously studied real estate at Ball State in the evenings. Two years later, he began Yohe Realty and his third

career. Along with his career, he was involved with multiple parts of the community throughout the years. He had three years as a member of the Wabash School Board, which allowed him to feel closer to his community and his family. “Having had five children, I felt privileged to share in their educational experience,” Yohe said. Later, he was appointed as a board member of the Wabash Marketplace, serving for two years as the first executive director. “At age 80 I requested to step down,” Yohe said. “The job was

bigger and greater than I felt I could develop. I am pleased to have been a part of the early plan and now see what it has become.” Yohe then lost his first wife and the mother of his five children. He got remarried to his current wife, Jewell, in 2005. “I have been fortunate (or lucky) two times,” Yohe said. While Jewell and he are still currently keeping up with his rentals, he is looking forward to finishing up and retiring. “I’m still managing my rentals, but I don’t have any plans to travel or anything like that, just relax,” Yohe said.

Huntington U names multicultural affairs director From the HU News Bureau

HUNTINGTON — H u n t i n g t o n University has announced that Daryl Singleton has accepted the position of director of multicultural affairs & minority student engagement. “We are so blessed to have Daryl as a part of the Huntington University community. Daryl’s journey as an undergrad at a small Christian university is reflective of so many of our North American minority and International students. He will be a great resource in helping these students navigate their own college experience at HU,” stated Dr. Ron Coffey, H u n t i n g t o n University’s vice president for student life. Singleton is a 2013 graduate of Spring Arbor University

where he majored in social work. His professional experience includes being a youth pastor with Rhema International Church in Detroit, Mich.; a substance abuse intern with the Black Family Development, Inc. in Detroit; and a clinical case manager for the Hope Network in Jackson, Mich. Singleton will be charged with facilitating relational ministry and discipleship with North American minority and International students in partnership with the dean of spiritual life. He will also work collaboratively with faculty, staff and administration in a proactive effort to

support minority students on campus as well as supervise the Multicultural Activities Council and International Student Council and their programming events for the campus community. Singleton also will be responsible for student leadership training sessions on issues related to racial and cultural diversity. “I am honored and really excited to serve the student body as well as the faculty and staff. The office of Multicultural Student Affairs will be a place that sees the differences in people and celebrate those differences,” stated Singleton. “I’m reminded of a quote

DARYL SINGLETON from William Sloane Coffin Jr., in which he said, ‘Diversity may be one of the hardest things for a society to live with, and perhaps one of the most dangerous things to live without.’ I’m really looking forward to joining the Forester family in August.”

Laketon Wesleyan to add ADA restrooms David PurvisFenker david@nmpaper.com The Wabash County Commissioners heard a request from the Laketon Wesleyan Church concerning plans to improve their building. The church plans to add ADA-accessible restrooms, a nursery and office space on the east end of their building, and needed more space in which to do so. “We currently have no restrooms upstairs in our facility, and we want to enhance our sanctuary with a nursery and office space,” said lead pastor David Cox. The commissioners were asked to vacate a 66-foot-wide section of Mill Street south of Lake Street, which includes two lots not owned by the church. “We have contacted all adjoining owners, and we had one gentleman that had an inquiry or concern. When they explained to him what they wanted to do with just that one lot only…he had no issues with it,” County Plan Commission Director Mike Howard said.

That gentleman, Evert Brubaker, also attended the meeting and spoke with the commissioners. “If they go over 33 feet, that’s going to go right up to my building,” he said. During the meeting, he and Howard reviewed a map of the area with the commissioners. Brubaker’s building is near the end of the street, and depending on how far the church’s addition went into the street he may have had difficulties accessing it. The commissioners verified that he would in fact still be able to access his building. “It sounds like we’ll vacate this section, and leave it to you folks to work it out,” chairman Barry Eppley said. With no further discussion, the commissioners unanimously voted to vacate the section of Mill Street in question. Brubaker said that now that the commissioners have vacated the street, he and the church will have the land surveyed. They will then work out the details of how the vacated space is divided based on the survey.

North Manchester man faces Sheriff’s Department releases June 2016 statistics child molestation charges By The Paper staff By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A North Manchester man was arrested Tuesday, July 12, and now faces two felony child molestation charges following a Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department investigation. Brandon P. Knutson, 18, North Manchester, was charged with two counts felony child molestation, misdemeanor petition to

BRANDON P. KNUTSON revoke probation on criminal conversion charge and misdemeanor petition to

revoke probation on criminal mischief charge. In June, WCSD officers received a report of child molestation involving Knutson and a child younger than 14-years-old, according to the probable cause affidavit. On June 28, Det. Sgt. Michael Davis spoke to the victim and the child advised there were two separate incidences of child molestation involving Knutson in early June, the court documents continued.

Davis spoke to Knutson on June 29 and told officers he did not know the victim’s age, according to the affidavit. Knutson’s initial hearing took place on July 14 where he entered a preliminary plea of not guilty. Bond was set at $30,000 surety and $250 cash. As a condition of bond, Knutson is to have no direct or indirect contact with the victim.

Health Department requests funds for database David PurvisFenker david@nmpaper.com After a server crash last year, the Wabash County Health Department is building a new database to store critical files and reports. At the July 25 meeting of the Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners, staff from the Health Department presented information concerning contracting with a company to build a database, and asking the commissioners to use trust money to fund the purchase. “We actually had difficulties finding a company that would work with a small department,” Public Health Nurse Stephanie Shepherd said. “Some of them wouldn’t even give us

a call back when they found out it was a less than $35,000 project.” Also representing the Health Department were Wabash County Health Board Chair Keith Walters and Environmental Food Specialist, Richard Mofield. The Health Department plans to work with the Digital Health Department to build their new database. The database will cost slightly more than $15,700 for the initial setup. There will also be a yearly maintenance fee associated with the database, which is already in the 2017 budget for the department. “The database will be used to store information such as onsite sewage records, meth reports, complaints, food records, all of

our permits and all of our reports,” Environmental Health Specialist Jennifer Scott said. The commissioners were concerned with state-level interaction and support for the database. “Is there interaction with the state Department of Health?” chairman Barry Eppley asked. He further asked whether the new database would be compatible with the state department. Shepherd said that The Digital Health Department will ensure that their database will be compatible with the state. According to Scott, the Environmental Health Department currently does not have any method of digitally storing files. Walters said that the Health

Department’s previous system used software that was too outdated to function properly with the new hardware. “Having the ability for the public to have direct access to public records is a long time coming. I have been lobbying for a database for record storage and public access for over a decade and am thrilled that the public will finally have instant access to our public records,” Scott said. She said that the contract has been sent to The Digital Health Department and that the Wabash County Health Department is currently awaiting a timeline for the project. “From prior conversations with the company, I expect to be live by the end of the year,” Scott said.

Safeguard yourself from summer ailments and accidents Summer is often marked by vacations, recreational events and relaxing moments spent by the pool or on the beach. But when the weather heats up, so can potential health hazards that can ruin all of the fun. The following are some of the more common summertime ailments and how to avoid them. · Lawn and garden injuries: Lawn and garden injuries may not be common, but men, women and children should exercise caution when using lawn

and garden equipment. Wear protective shoes and gloves and safety goggles. Remember to turn off any motorized tools before attempting to repair or unclog the blades. · Swimmer's ear: Water that remains in the ear canal after swimming can make the ear a breeding ground for swimmer's ear, which is a bacterial infection. If water remains in your ear for more than one night, visit an ear, nose and throat specialist. · Insect bites and

stings: Insects return when temperatures rise. Mosquitoes may be the biggest nuisance, but biting flies and wasps also make formidable foes. Use insect repellent to keep the bugs away. Wear long pants and check for ticks after hiking. · Boating accidents: Many boating accidents can be attributed to inexperience with the vessel and failure to take proper safety precautions on the water. Make sure everyone on the boat wears a life jacket, and

follow proper boating protocol throughout your trip. · Dehydration: The body needs extra water on hot days, especially when spending ample time outdoors. Dehydration can cause dizziness and dry mouth and may make you feel faint. Always drink plenty of water and avoid alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, which can contribute to dehydration when consumed in excess.

Smart watering conserves water and saves money Summer heat can be harmful in various ways. People and pets can quickly succumb to the summer sun, which can cause sunburn, heat exhaustion and heat stroke when people and their animals spend too much time outdoors without adequate protection. Landscapes are also vulnerable to summer heat, which can quickly spoil the most lush lawns and robust gardens. Effective watering can help lawns and gardens withstand summer heat, but improper watering can deprive landscapes of the water they need to survive. Homeowners concerned about their lawns and gardens surviving the summer can take the following approach to conserve water, save money and maintain their landscapes. · Start early. Homeowners may feel that the hottest times of the day are when lawns and gardens will be most in need of water, so that's the best time to set sprinklers or grab the hose and get to work. But in many areas, watering between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when summer temper-

atures tend to peak, can be both wasteful and ineffective. That's because watering between those hours will cause much of the water to quickly evaporate, robbing lawns and gardens of the water they need to withstand the heat. Homeowners who water when water is most likely to evaporate may feel they need to water more, and that only wastes water. It's best to consult a local landscaping professional in your area to determine the best time to water each day, but in many regions the best time to water is between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., when temperatures are generally lower, the sun is not at its peak and winds are not as strong. · Place sprinklers correctly. If you do not have an in-ground irrigation system and don't intend to install one, you will likely use lawn sprinklers to water the lawn. When placing these sprinklers, turn them on and then document their trajectory before moving on to the next area. You want to make sure the water from the sprinklers is not landing on sidewalks, patios or streets, espe-

cially if your community typically institutes drought restrictions that limit how much you can water. In such instances, you'll need to make the best use of the water you're allowed to use, so make sure none of it is watering the driveway. · Let well-fed lawns go dormant during drought. Lengthy droughts tend to be accompanied by water restrictions, and such restrictions can frustrate homeowners who don't want to see all of the hard work they've put in to this point go to waste. But grass that has thus far been well cared for can withstand drought and still recover when rains once again fall and temperatures cool come autumn. If you plan to let the lawn go dormant, keep kids, pets and visitors off the grass, as dormant lawns are highly susceptible to damage. Summer is an enjoyable time of year, but lawn and garden enthusiasts may be concerned for their properties when summer heat sets in. A few simple strategies can help lawns make it through the season unscathed. GT164042

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT Art Guild plans landscape watercolor painting workshop 22

By The Paper staff

The Wabash Art Guild is hosting a landscape watercolor painting workshop with Dee Mari Moore on Thursday, Aug. 11, for all interested artists, including beginners. The workshop will

July 27, 2016

be held at the Wabash Christian Church, corner of Hill & Miami Streets in Wabash. Set-up starts at 8:30 a.m., class will begin at 9 a.m.; with a break for lunch and will continue until about 4 p.m. Participants should bring their own lunches.

Moore was raised in Northern Indiana on a farm near the Pigeon River Fish & W i l d l i f e Preserve. The fragility of nature’s balance is present in her mind & close at heart in many of her paintings. Having been displayed in many art shows, her work has won many awards, and can be found across the country

from coast to coast. A Purdue University graduate with a double major in Fine Arts and Art Education, Moore learned to paint with heavy impressionistic brushstrokes, like Van Gogh. Many years later, while renewing her teacher’s license at IPFW, she learned to paint in thin layers, adding greater detail,

and depth of color, like Rembrandt. Today, her painting often blends the two methods. Continuing her passion for painting, working in watercolors and oils, Moore has completed commissioned work of people, dogs, landscapes, & livestock in her farm-home studio near North Manchester.

Keep pets cool, comfortable and safe during hot weather

Summer may be a time for vacations and recreational activities for human beings, but pets may not be privy to the same luxuries. Summer recreation may not always include our fourlegged friends, as summer heat and other issues can pose a threat to companion animals. As a result, pet parents must make pet safety a priority when the weather heats up. The Humane Society of the United States says that the

summer months can be uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. Temperatures that may be tolerable for adults and children who are dressed accordingly may not be so for animals covered in fur. It's vital to help pets stay comfortable and safe as summer temperatures heat up. Pet parents also must be aware of particular dangers that go handin-hand with summertime activities. · Practice vehicle safety. It is never acceptable to leave

pets in parked cars, even for a minute. Temperatures inside vehicles can rise quickly and considerably in a matter of minutes, even with the windows opened slightly. HSUS says on an 85-degree-day, temperatures inside parked cars can reach 102 F within 10 minutes. Pets can suffer irreversible and even fatal organ damage in that period of time. If you have to run errands, keep dogs and cats at home where they will be more comfortable.

· Stay off of hot asphalt. If you've ever walked on the hot sand or an asphalt driveway on a hot day, you understand just how scorching those surfaces can get. Dogs and cats do not have protective shoes to wear, so safeguard the delicate pads of their paws by keeping companion animals off of hot surfaces. Schedule walks in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. · Schedule a pet

grooming visit. The American Veterinary Medical Foundation suggests speaking with your veterinarian to see if it's appropriate for your pet to get clipped shorter or to be shaved in the summer. But a fur coat can offer protection from the sun, so weigh the pros and cons before taking action. Apply sunscreen to your dog's skin if he or she has a thin coat. · Provide a way for pets to cool off. If you're hot, chances are your pet is hot,

too. Offer a means for pets too cool off, such as a wading pool when you are outside. Offer plenty of fresh water. Keep pets who do not enjoy the heat indoors with the air conditioner running on hot days. · Look for indicators of heat stress. The American V e t e r i n a r y Association says heat stress is marked by heavy panting, dry or bright red gums, thick drool, vomiting, diarrhea, or wobbly legs. Move pets exhibiting such

symptoms to a cool place, drape a damp towel over the animal's body, rewetting the cloth frequently, and get the animal to the vet as soon as you possibly can. · Exercise caution in the water. Dogs can get swept away by rip currents just like human swimmers. If you will be boating, invest in a life jacket for your pooch and look for water hazards, such as currents, sink holes, and blue-green algae in lakes and ponds.

Help plants survive sizzling summer heat adhere to any local water restrictions. · Lay down mulch. Mulch helps insulate and protect soil during summer, when soil can quickly dry out. When applied correctly (ideally before summer temperatures get too hot), mulch helps the soil conserve moisture and prevents weed growth. Weeds can rob soil of the water it needs to promote strong root systems, which can help plants get the nutrients they need to withstand summer heat. Mulched soils also do not experience the fluctuations in temperature that non-mulched soils can experience during summer heat waves, helping plants to grow evenly. · Move plants when possible. Plant location can affect their chances of sur-

viving summer heat. Driveways lined with flowers or other plants may look nice, but driveways exposed to the sun can radiate heat at temperatures that exceed the temperatures noted on the thermometer. If possible, move plants to locations on your property that are less exposed to the heat and/or less likely to be affected by the heat. Move container plants beneath trees on hot days, and consider summer heat waves before planting new flower beds. Summer heat can be especially harmful to plant life. But homeowners can employ various strategies to protect the plant life on their properties when temperatures rise during the dog days of summer.

owners determine if their plants are struggling to survive the heat. To check soil moisture levels, use a ruler or even your finger, sticking either two inches into the ground where you suspect the soil is drying out. If the soil is damp two inches below the surface, then your plants are likely retaining enough moisture to withstand the heat. If the soil is dry two inches below, then you may want to give the soil a deep soak. · Keep an eye on container gardens. Containers may have an especially difficult time staying moist in the summer heat. That's particularly true for containers that sit in direct sunlight.

Many people consider summer the most enjoyable time of year, as the summer sun and warm breezes make the season perfect for rest and relaxation. But the months of June, July and August, which are often characterized by rising temperatures and stifling humidity, can be tough to endure as well. When summer heat becomes especially uncomfortable, humans can simply head indoors and beat the heat in air conditioned buildings and homes. Plant life is not so lucky, and homeowners may need to take steps to help the plant life on their properties survive the summer heat. · Monitor soil moisture.

Annual airport cruise-in raises funds and awareness By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Cars cruised-in while planes took off at the 15th annual Northern Indiana Aviation’s Summer Nights Cruise-In on Saturday, July 23. The event took place at the Wabash Municipal Airport and hosted more

than 50 classic cars including the 1960s series Batmobile, live music and plane rides to raise funds for the Special Olympics of Wabash County. Since 2001, the event has encouraged the Wabash County community to visit its local airport and learn about aviation, according

Schutz to speak at NM Historical Society Article provided

On Monday, Aug. 8, the North Manchester Historical Society will host Mitch Schutz in a program celebrating the 70th anniversary of Schutz Brothers in North Manchester. The firm is known around the world for its products for working, training and showing horses. The program will be held in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest Retirement Center, 2201 East Street, at 6:40 p.m. There is no cost for the program, which is suitable for children as well as adults. Halters, reins and leads, as well as cavesons, bosals and Martingales are all products that Schutz Brothers sells. The company simply asks horse people what they want, using only the best leathers and employing dedicated craftsmen who don’t compromise on quality. According to the Schutz Brothers website, “We do not desire to be the largest producer of horse tack, but rather the top maker of good look-

ing, great feeling, dependable tack!” From its beginning in 1946, Schutz Brothers has sought the advice of recognized horsemen to assist them with suggestions and testing of current and new products. The horsemen include championship riders, AQUA (American Quarter Horse A s s o c i a t i o n ) P r o f e s s i o n a l Horsemen of the Year, trainers of champions, and winners of World and Reserve titles. They generously share their knowledge and endorsements. Horses are truly a way of life for the family, who use their knowledge and personal experience to craft the best products. Mitch joined the firm founded by father Don Schutz and uncle Dick Schutz. He has enjoyed riding and showing his reining horse, and daughter Brogan has received multiple top tens in in allaround quarter horse events.

3 ways to make grilling fish easier Fish can be cooked in various ways. Many people bake their fish, while others are partial to broiling or frying. While fish also can be grilled, many people shy away from grilling fish out of a fear that they will overcook the meal or their fish will turn flaky and crumble over open flames. But there are some tricks to grilling fish that grillmasters can employ to avoid disasters the next time they throw some fish on their grills.

1. Purchase fish with the skin on. Skin prevents fish from flaking over open flames, essentially holding a fillet together while it cooks and ensuring it does not fall apart when you try to remove the fish from the grill. Many people find the skin adds a crispy flavor to grilled fish as well. If you don't want to eat the skin once the fish is cooked, slowly remove it after taking the fish off the grill. 2. Wrap fish in foil. Wrapping fish in foil

is another way to cook fish on a grill. While the flavor might not provide that familiar grilled food taste, wrapping the fish in foil does ensure you don't have to be watching the oven and grill when cooking for friends or family members who prefer fish over more traditional grilled foods. Spray the foil with cooking spray prior to grilling so you can easily remove the fish once it's finished cooking. 3. Cook on a plank.

It's possible to grill fish by placing the fish on a wooden plank and placing the plank directly on the grill. Soak the plank in water for several hours before cooking, and then keep an eye on the fish while it cooks. If the grill seems especially hot, move the plank to a part that is not as hot.

THE PAPER 32 Fun ways to stay cool How to repot a plant www.thepaperofwabash.com

Summertime heat can affect energy levels and take their toll as heat waves overstay their welcome. Days upon days of rising mercury require enterprising individuals to find ways to stay cool. Summer heat and humidity can be both daunting and dangerous. People who are unable to cool down and stay hydrated run the risk of heat stroke. Symptoms of heat stroke include a body temperature of 104 F or higher and feelings of confusion. The Mayo Clinic notes that heat stroke also may cause slurred speech, irritability and even seizures. Heat stroke is often identifiable by an absence of sweat, a rapid pulse and headache. Staying cool should be a top priority when temperatures become extremely hot. Fortunately, there are fun ways to stay cool and beat the summer heat. • Visit the beach. Head to the seaside for a day of enjoyment on the coast. Temperatures tend to be cooler at the water's edge, and there may be a nice breeze blowing in. In addition,

July 27, 2016

you have water from the ocean, bay or lake to refresh you. Always use ample amounts of sunscreen and reapply often. Invest in a beach umbrella or pop-up tent that can shield you from the harsh rays of the sun. Bring a folding kiddie pool for young children and fill it up with ocean water close to your beach blanket so you can keep a close eye on youngsters as they do their best to stay cool. • Get wet in creative ways. Water balloon fights can be fun, and there are many additional and clever ways to get wet and cool off. If you have a trampoline, set a sprinkler or hose to mist and let the kids jump while getting wet. Jumping, in turn, will cause extra splashing. Give little kids a regular spray bottle they can use to spray plants, outdoor furniture, toys and even themselves. They'll have a good time and stay cool in the process. • Transform your backyard into a waterpark. An old tarp coated with a little dish soap and water can make an impromptu water slide. Set up an obstacle course outdoors where

kids must run through sprinklers, jump through hoops and dive into the pool. The more variety you can create, the more likely kids will forget the heat and have fun. • Set up an ice-cream making adventure. Invest in an ice cream maker and spend a particularly hot day making your own flavors. When the ice cream is set, create a fixings bar with sprinkles and toppings. • Take a trip to the movies. Movie theaters often set their air conditioning systems to arctic levels, which can be just what the doctor ordered on a steamy day. Plan an excursion to the movies, taking advantage of matinee prices where available. • Visit an indoor ice rink. What better way to stay cool than to spend an afternoon ice skating? Channel winter temperatures during the heart of the summer heat. Remember to dress warmly as it will be cold indoors, and have a change of clothes ready when it's time to head back into the summer heat.

Gardening time is here, with people enjoying plants both inside and outside of their homes. Container gardening, which is a planting method in which flowers and other plants are grown in pots and other containers, is quite popular because of design versatility. Containers can be moved from location to location if plants are not thriving in a particular spot. They also make gardening possible when there isn't any available land space, which might be the case for apartment-dwellers. Flower pots enable plant enthusiasts to enjoy foliage inside of the home as well. Houseplants can add beauty to interior spaces and help filter indoor air. In the late 1980s, NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America actually studied houseplants as a way to purify the air in space facilities. They found several plants are particularly good at filtering out

common volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Having plants around can create inviting spaces and improve healthy conditions inside and out. Part of caring for plants in containers involves knowing when a potted plant might need a little tender loving care. As plants grow larger, they may outgrow their containers and require more roomy quarters. Without ample space, plants may not be able to adequately draw up water and nutrients to support top growth. Repotting may seem like it is easy, but it actually takes a little finesse so not to damage the plants. Gardening experts like those from Fine Gardening, HGTV and Today's Homeowner suggest these repotting tips. • Be sure the plant is well watered for a few days prior to the repotting process. Watering also will help loosen the root ball from inside of the smaller pot.

• A plant ready for repotting should slide out with most of the soil in one piece. If the soil is free-falling, it may not need to be repotted at this point because there's still room for the roots to expand. Other signs that plants may need repotting include roots poking out of the soil or plants that are straggly and pale. • Consider repotting outside because the process can be messy. Have all of your materials, which include a trowel, gloves, scissors, and potting soil, handy so that you can tackle the process smoothly. • Remove your plant from the pot carefully. Place the plant on its side, then support the main stem in one hand and use the other hand to gently pull the pot away. Be careful not to pull on the main stem or break the stem. Tread gently. • Cut away any rotten or dead roots, and trim really long ends. Make three or four vertical cuts about a

third of the way up the remaining root ball. This also will help with water and nutrient absorption once the plant is in its new pot. • Gently untangle any remaining roots and prepare to place the plant in a new pot. • Choose a new pot that is slightly larger than the root ball. Fill the pot with soil so that the root ball sits about an inch below the rim of the pot. Add more soil around the roots to fill the pot. Be sure to leave enough room so that with each watering the pot can hold water. • Thoroughly water the plant after repotting to moisten the soil. Watch your plant afterwards to be sure that it's taking to its new potted home. It can take around three to four weeks for the plant to recover from repotting.

Shrine Parade coming through Wabash By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com S h r i n e r s International, better known as The Shrine Club, will parade through the streets of Wabash on Aug. 20, providing the county with the first Shrine Parade through it’s streets since 1997. The Shriners Parade will begin at 5 p.m. at the intersection of Carroll and Canal streets. It will travel west on Canal to Allen Street, then west on Market Street, finishing at the intersection of Carroll and Market streets. There will be anywhere from 22 to 26

units involved in this parade, including Corvettes, antique tractors, bands, clowns, and more, according to Bob Gillespie, Secretary of Treasury at the Wabash Shrine Club. This parade has traveled through Wabash before, however, it was previously called “The Parade of Lights,” said. Today, the parade is still in action and is still used to bring awareness to the public about the Shriners Hospitals for Children, but no longer includes night lights on any of the units. S h r i n e r s International has 22 hospitals all over the United States, Mexico

and Canada. These hospitals help anyone over the age of 18 with any medical attention they need, including surgery, at no cost to them, their families, or their insurance. “In any of our hospitals, we won’t accept a dollar of the government’s money,” Gillespie said. The Shrine Parade will take place at 5 p.m. on Aug. 20, lasting about 90 minutes. Events also taking place on Aug. 20 include the Garden and Herb Fest from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Paradise Springs and the Knuckle Car Show at the Honeywell Center.
