Walk into My Future gives local youngsters glimpse of college

The results are in, now it’s up to the boards in Wabash County’s three school districts to decide what to do with them. About 75 people gathered in the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall on Wednesday afternoon to listen as Carol Lindquist discussed the results of a study commissioned earlier this year by the Community Foundation of Wabash County to look at shared interests of the three districts. The goal of the study is find potential of shared interests within the districts with the goal of increasing educational opportunities for current and future students. It also was designed to promote efficient use of the resources. The study, Lindquist explained, look at demographics, workforce development, included an academic audit, an analysis of financial strength and a facilities study. Many of the results were similar to ones forecast by other sources. For example, Wabash County has a declining and aging population, and if that trend continues, there will be fewer school-age students in years to come. That, in turn, cuts down on the amount of funding the districts receive from the state. “Money follows students,” she reminded the audience during a question and answer period. In the end, the study gave four distinct recommendations: • Advocate for the viability of the public schools in Wabash County. To do so, officials must engage legislators to discuss the impact current funding levels have on the district various districts. • Establish a definition of “success” for each school district and identify reachable targets for academic, fiscal, operational and community-based services (continued on page 3)

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — Nearly 2,800 first through third grade students had their first college campus experience at Manchester University last Friday. The students, from Wabash, Whitley and Kosciusko counties, converged on MU’s campus for Wabash County Promise’s fifth Walk Into My Future event, during which they interacted with MU students and participated in a variety of games and activities to learn more about the value of higher education. According to Chris Sloan, director of community engagement at the Wabash County YMCA, this year’s event was the largest yet. “Essentially, we’re looking at over 1,000 kids from Wabash County, about 1,000 kids from Kosciusko, and about 800-900 kids from Whitley County,” Sloan said. “That’s the most students we’ve ever had at this event.” (continued on page 2)

Dual Immersion youth excel in pilot program By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The O.J. Neighbours Dual Immersion Kindergarten program started only two months ago and the children “are progressing faster than expected,” according to Danielle Miller, O.J. Neighbours Elementary School principal. Since school began in August, 41 students at the Wabash elementary school have been learning the foundations of academic education in both English and Spanish. With the goal of starting youth on the pathway of bilingualism and biliteracy, O.J. Neighbours’ pilot program is a 50-50 learning experience, immersing students half of the day entirely in Spanish and the other half in English, Miller told The Paper of Wabash County. Plans for the kindergarten program have been in the works since Fall 2016 when the Indiana Department of Education announced its Dual Immersion Grant, according to Miller. “In fall of 2016, (the state department) had released the state dual immersion grant,” she said. “So Mr. (Jason) Callahan and I went up to Warsaw to visit Eisenhower Elementary. They had received the grant for the first time and so we went up and we visited to see if this was something that we felt like would ben(continued on page 3)

He noted that this is Kosciusko County’s first year at Walk Into My Future. According to information provided by the university, Wabash County brought students from grades one through three, Whitley County brought students from grades one and two, and Kosciusko County brought students only in grade two, but from both public and private schools. This was MU’s fifth year hosting the event, which took place on and around the grassy Mall in the center of campus. “We’ve always partnered with M a n c h e s t e r University. They’re a fantastic host. We have the great privilege of working with Alexis Young; she’s amazing. Everyone at the university is amazing,” Sloan said. Students experienced 34 stations during the event, and also heard remarks from MU President Dave McFadden, Parkview Hospital’s Curtis Smith and Wabash

Next step in CF study rests with school districts ...continued from the front page desired by the respective school communities. Such measures, the study noted, “help establish and fulfill accountability expectations that build community confidence in the schools and oversight.” • Use communitybased collaborative efforts to help build coalitions in support of current and future educational efforts. “Learning from organizations with experience in transforming familiar settings can ease and accelerate desired changes,” the study finds. “Strong schools build strong communities and strong communities build strong schools.” • Enhance the desirability of Wabash County educational programs as a means of attracting families that seek exemplary educational opportunities for their children. The study states that “innovative efforts by local businesses and industry, and high profile names associated with each community” are needed to “enhance both the

profile of county schools and the credentials of those students who graduate from them.” Both MSD of Wabash County Superintendent Mike Keaffaber and Wabash City Schools Superintendent Jason Callahan discussed the study with The Paper of Wabash County following Wednesday afternoon’s session. “The board will have to look at the information and see what they would like to talk to the C o m m u n i t y Foundation to see if they want to proceed with any questions or recommendations as far as financial situations, or to do any more studies or have any more conversations,” Keaffaber said. “Really, it’s just up to the school board to talk about it.” Callahan said, “We certainly want to take the information back to the board. This was the ‘Why?’ Talking with a lot of the public, I think they thought coming out of this was should we consolidate or should we not.

“This was more a question of why should we look at doing stuff differently? I think what you saw are there are a lot of challenges that would say, ‘Yes, we should continue to ask how can we do things differently?’ I think at this point that will be my recommendation to the school board; that we need to continue to ask those questions.” Any action likely won’t take place anytime in the immediate future. As Keaffaber noted, the initial study took about four months to complete. He anticipates that by the time the boards fully study the information, it could take at least that long to determine the districts’ next steps. A similar meeting took place Wednesday evening at the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall, while a third took place Thursday night in North Manchester. About 10 people, most with ties to the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools system, were at Thursday’s meeting. “I think one thing

that was very evident from the study is that we need more jobs that are higher paying and higher skilled,” Manchester School Board President Steve Flack told the North Manchester NewsJournal. “With that, more families, more children will come into our district. I’m concerned about it from an economic standpoint, because we’re not getting that economic growth to help keep our schools sustainable. “Manchester has been able to grow our enrollment every year and stay ahead of the curve, so to speak. The economic part is something that we really need to look at pretty hard. … We pull students from Kosciusko County, Whitley County, Huntington County, by a majority, a lot less than from our southern districts. It’s really to the north and the east, as far as where we’re picking up students.” Manchester Interim Superintendent Mike Pettibone said, “I think that, number one, they’ve challenged us to say what

Photo by Joseph Slacian might we do differently educationally. I’ll go in on one thing that Dr. Lindquist addressed… I like the whole concept of project-based learning. You don’t have to be New Tech or all those things for that to happen. The reality is, there are already things happening in our schools for project-based learning. One of those is the FFA program. That’s all project-based learning, and it’s valuable. “The one thing that she also talked about was the combination of classes.”

Walk into My Future gives local youngsters glimpse of college

Pettibone said that Clay High School had an “American Studies” class that was a combination of U.S. history and English 11, which was quite popular among the students. Adams Central, he added, had a “Bio-Lit” class that combine biology and literature in which students would take a biological concept and research literature to discuss the topic. “It energizes kids,

and it energizes parents,” he continued. “Do I think that there should be a consolidation of central offices? Personally, I don’t think that’s necessary. But, do I think that it is necessary to have a collaboration to how we do things and how we complement each other? The answer is yes.”

Up to 50 elementary school students could be at a station at one time, so it was all hands on deck for the university. “The very first week of classes here on campus, we set up a table at the activi-

ties fair… trying to get [MU] students to volunteer for the event. It takes about 250 volunteers from the campus. Then, you have to make sure that they all have certain training,” Young said, noting that all volunteers must have training on interacting with minors and on how to guide the groups through the event. She added that, in

the last five years, she’s had several partners who help make the event a success. “I’ve always worked with Chris Sloan from the YMCA… and the past two years, Admissions joined me. They helped line up volunteers and recruit the stations,” she said. MU’s hosting of the event comes back to the university’s efforts to connect

with the Town of North Manchester and the Wabash County community. “It’s important for us to partner with the community. I grew up in North Manchester, and I’ don’t recall having a dedicated time to come to campus as a student. So, we are opening our doors, opening our campus, to all of Wabash County, all of Whitley County, and this year

efit our kids.” Before jumping immediately on board, however, Miller said that school officials other school districts that have implemented dual immersion programs first before d e t e r m i n i n g whether or not the program “fit” into O.J.’s and Wabash City School’s mission. The answer in the end was yes. “If we’re looking at a program, that’s

the first test. Does it fit into our mission?” she explained. “Our mission is to have students prepared for success in the global economy, in a global community and it’s right in alignment with that. So we started talking with the Department of Education, saying, ‘This is something we’re interested in. What kind of help can you give us?’ … So we started working with them.” However, before

jumping immediately into the program, O.J.’s officials were tasked with finding a teacher to fit their pilot Spanishimmersed classroom. Through the Indiana Department of Education’s partnership with the Ministry of Education in Spain, O.J. Neighbours was matched with elementary educator Clara Castaño, according to Miller. “(IDOE officials)

will interview the schools in Indiana first and find out through an interview process what are we looking for? What is our mission? What are our goals?” Miller explained. “And then they go over and they interview candidates because the Ministry of Spain is doing the same thing, interview people who are saying, ‘I want to be a part of this exchange program.’ (continued on page 4)

we opened it up to an entire grade from Kosciusko County,” Young said. “We want to get them on campus; we want to get them excited about college. We always say, ‘Find your place here.’ We want Manchester to be the right fit. Clearly, these students at this age are not going to know if it’s the right fit, but it gets them excited about the possibilities of going to college and what they can do beyond that. We do it to build the excitement for the future.”

Dual Immersion youth excel in pilot program ...continued from the front page “And that’s how we got Clara.” Miller added that, for her school’s program, she was looking for an elementary educator that had bilingual education experience. “Clara has a degree in bilingual education, who actually has experience,” Miller said. “Clara taught English as a second language to students in Spain. So she’s done this the opposite, teaching English instead of coming here to speak Spanish. So she has the experience and at the time she was teaching first grade. … Then looking at her knowledge with

technology, differentiation, she just was the perfect fit for us.” After meeting Castano, Miller said that’s when her crew started writing the grant to establish the local program. Through the IDOE grant, O.J. Neighbours received approximately $49,000 that would enable the school to do the following: • Contract with Dr. Vesna Dimitrieska from the Center for P-16 Research and Collaboration to provide professional development, classroom observation and feedback to help deepen understanding and develop the

program. • Attend the several national education and training conferences pertaining to the program. • Purchase books for the school staff to do a book study on dual immersion. • Support the VISA for the first grade dual immersion teacher as O.J. Neighbours expands the program. • Provide substitute teachers as dual immersion teachers travel to collaborate with other program educators in the area as well as attend conferences and training sessions. With the goal in mind of speaking only Spanish in Castaño’s classroom, except for in case of emergencies or behavioral issues, school officials prepared classrooms ahead of time to help the kindergarteners connect the language to their native tongue. “For the first couple of weeks, we did utilize English minimally but only to

redirect student’s behavior or to be sure they understood routines,” Miller said. “So what we’ve done is we would say (a command) in Spanish and then (Castaño) would say in English, ‘Time to switch groups.’ “But it really after a month, you’ll see, (the kids) have settled in and are doing beautifully. … While Castaño leads the Spanishspeaking classroom, local educator Heather Mickelson teaches in English in a nearly identical classroom. By establishing the mirror system, not only could English-speaking students learn Spanish, but students whose primary language is Spanish could utilize the program to learn English. “We spent a lot of time prior to (the students) coming to the classrooms,” Miller said. “So the classroom environment is a mirrored environment. So Ms. Mickelson’s classroom in English looks the same as Senorita Castaño’s in Spanish. So if (students) are sitting

fascinated that Senorita Castaño is here and has an accent not many of them have heard before. For them, language is fun and it’s a game and it’s playful and it’s a lot less stressful than we, as adults, think it would be.” Castaño has also been an instrumental piece to the program’s success. “She is very animated,” Miller said. “She does a lot through songs, through games. She’ll pantomime. If she wants them to sit down, she is literally getting their attention and she’s kind of like the old Simon Says. She’d say, ‘Siénte por favor.’ And then she’d sit down and then the students would look and go, ‘Oh okey.’ So a lot of it is just games and having fun.” So far, the program is exceeding Miller’s expectations. “One of my Aha moments when I realized that we are definitely on the right track with this program is I heard a group of three Dual L a n g u a g e

Immersion kids walking down the hallway one morning and I heard them rehearsing ‘Buenos dias,’” Miller said. “It was adorable. I’m walking behind them and I hear the little boy say to the little girl, ‘Ok. Now remember. It’s ‘buenos dias.’ That’s what we say to her. We don’t say ‘good morning.’ “Those little pieces (show) this is learning. This is what we’re supposed to be doing.” Miller added that plans are already in the works to add a first grade dual immersion course for the current kindergarteners to move into next year. Eventually, O.J. Neighbours will provide a dual immersion course for kindergarten through fourth grade. “We’re just to the preliminary stages,” she said. “We’re still trying to figure that out. … We’re really in the stage of ‘We have this established. It’s going well. Let’s start preparing for first grade.’”

Cooks try their hand at smoked food competition By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Competitors from as far away as Brownsburg and Lebanon competed with local cooks on Saturday, Sept. 23, during the fifth annual Smokin’ for a Cause. Five teams competed for bragging rights in grilled chicken, smoked chicken, smoked ribs and pulled pork. “We’re kind of down a little this year,” organizer Gary Henderson said. The competition changed slightly this year. In past years, winning teams would receive cash awards along with plaques. However, this year the teams received just plaques. Henderson said by not giving cash awards, it would help to build proceeds to be donated to the designated organization. This year, The LIFE Center was chosen to receive the proceeds. Since 2013, Smokin’ for a Cause has contributed more than $50,000 to local charities and non-profit organizations. In addition, the organization provides all the meat the contestants use to pass out to the public and for the cooking competition. “We actually weren’t going to do the contest portion of it this year,” Henderson said. “But we had a lot of guys who said they wanted to do it, but then they didn’t show up.” Chris Ambrose and his son traveled from Brownsburg to participate in the event. The pair perhaps drew the most attention, as they used flowerpots as smokers. Terracotta pots served as the base of the smoker, while azalea pots served as the lids. There were four such smokers, all standing atop metal plant stands. “I wanted a Big Green Egg, but I couldn’t afford one,” he said. “After going to the hardware store and taking apart a Big Green Egg and putting it back together, I thought I could probably do the same with clay pots … so I did.

“We’ve got air going in. There’s a grate inside that hold the charcoal and the wood.” This was Ambrose’s first visit to the Smokin’ for a Cause event. Another firsttimer was Wabash resident Josh Steele. “I’ve always been interested in cooking, but I’ve always been busy when this was happening,” he said. “This year I wasn’t busy so I decided to give it a shot and see if other people think my food is as good as I do.” Apparently they do, as Steele walked away with awards for Best Smoked Ribs, Best Smoked Pulled Pork and All-Around Reserve Champion. Ambose won Grand Champion honors, as well as Best Smoked Chicken. Best Grilled Chicken honors went to Jeff Smith of

North Manchester. Henderson said that the group is considering to change the Smokin’ for a Cause event, moving it from September to perhaps early May as a way to kick off spring and summer activities.

Stephen Hunt, son of Luke and Darlene Hunt, Urbana, and his company, The Archers, are featured in the Oct. 2017 issue of Architectural Digest. Stephen and Richard Petit, Los A n g e l e s architects/designers are known for their “sophisticated color palettes as well as a preference for combining humble materials in unexpected ways. Intricate tile patterns rendered in striking hues are a signature flourish.” Their company is named The Archers after a production company of British film makers. The Archers is a team of designers, architects, artists, and cinephiles who are people who are fond of motion pictures. The group works on interiors and furnishings for private homes and public spaces and buildings. One of their latest projects was the Mare Salon, the new “hot spot on the celebrity beauty scene” in West Hollywood that was recently featured in Vanity Fair magazine. As with all of their projects, they try to do something they have never done before and make every space a one of a kind.

City receives, tables bids to demolish home By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The City of Wabash received two bids to demolish a home at 20 E. Harrison St. However, the board tabled the bids during its meeting on Thursday, Sept. 21, to give the home’s owner, Jan Bailey, a chance to demolish the home on her own. B r a i n a r d Excavating submitted

a bid of $6,440, while Hank’s Construction bid $10,400. By tabling the action on the bids, the board gave Bailey until the next board meeting on Oct. 5 to find a contractor. The board will consider the bids at the next meeting if Bailey takes no action. If the city tears down the structure, a lien will be placed on the property until the funds are received. The board was

asked if someone was interested in refurbishing the house, could the demolition order be withdrawn? “The issue is it’s in the flood plain,” B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens replied. “To get to the proper elevation, it would have to be two feet above the flood protection grade. If you’re going to put more than 50 percent of the value into the home, it has

to be protected from flood. That’s the issue.” Bailey asked if, after the home is demolished, could someone put a new home at the site? Stephens said it was possible. He also noted that the bids received from the contractors are not the total cost of the demolition. “The city pays for the landfill fee on top of that,” Stephens

said, adding that the cost to remove hazardous material also be added to the cost. Another unsafe structure hearing for 1284 Willard Drive owned by Mike Galley was postponed because proper notices weren’t sent out. The board also tabled a request from Fire Chief Barry Stroup to solicit bids for two stages of building a training

facility at the North Side Fire Department. He said he has been meeting with City Attorney Randi Zimmer man-Irgang as to whether he would have to advertise for bids or if he could simply contact firms inviting them to bid. State statute requires any project over $150,000 be advertised. Stroup said he believes that neither portion of would exceed $150,000.

However, Mayor Scott Long said he doesn’t believe that the project’s stages can be separated. “You’re not doing them all at the same time, as I understand,” the mayor said. “But it’s all one project, so if that total exceeds (state limits) you’re going to have to do the bid process.” Stroup said he will work to determine if the cost of both projects will exceed $150,000.

Laketon Auxiliary has summer carry-in Article provided

LAKETON — The Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit No.402 has had a busy past several weeks as a new Auxiliary year gets underway in planning for the 2017-2018 year. Mid-July a carry-in was enjoyed in the home of Connie and Gerald Chaplin. Eleven members attended to set plans for the annual dinner for the Marion V.A. facility veterans. The V.A. vets event was hosted at the Wabash Elks on August 2nd for veterans, VA staff, Legion, Auxiliary and more, totaling approximately eighty served. The Auxiliary provided vegetables, salads and desserts and appreciated the contribution by the Elks. V. A. &R. chairman, Tina James, prepared ‘treat filled bags’ decorated by several Junior Auxiliary members and presented to the vets along with each receiving a pocket tshirt and socks. Entertainment was provided by a Gospel Chorus directed by Pastor Kent Harting. The evening event value approximately $600. A brief meeting followed to plan for a vendor booth during the Roann Covered Bridge Festival. Fish Dinners take place the second Friday of each month will continue at The Blue Bird Café in Laketon with serving from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The Auxiliary appreciates the support of the community during the past several months and a ‘special thank you’ to

Bobbi Giordano and Cyllan Badertscher for their support and contribution to the Auxiliary projects in support of Veterans, the Troops, youth and the community. On Sept. 5, the Auxiliary had its September meeting at The Bluebird Café in Laketon. There were eight members in attendance. For the 2016 calendar year the unit received a citation for service. The Unit also had exactly onehundred members at the close of the 2016

year. A second presentation of the proposed budget for the upcoming year was given for additions and corrections. In June several members of the Unit attended the IVH picnic. It was also discussed the importance of not cutting benefits when it comes to Medicare, and not increasing charges and such. Another topic addressed was the benefits that Wabash County offers to Veterans and that Wabash is in the top

ten of Hoosier Counties of benefits for resident Veterans. During the Aug. 29 dinner meeting of The Past Unit Presidents held at Waldo’s, items were collected to Prepare “troop boxes” with items primarily for female Veterans. Also, a “patriotic throw” was donated by a member and tickets will be offered with proceeds going toward the annual scholarship offered each year to a Manchester

High School Senior. The Unit will have two delegates attending Fall Conference at the end of the month. The meeting closed with the Draping of the Charter in memory of Lela Ramage a 30year member that passed in July. The next meeting will be Oct. 3, at 7 p.m. at The Bluebird Café in Laketon.

VIEWPOINT Communities can bring life to ‘Frankenstein’ By Keira Amstutz Over the next year, Hoosiers across the state will be devouring “Frankenstein” as part of a statewide read of the classic novel, which turns 200 in 2018. But, I hope you’ll do more than simply read Mary Shelley’s great book, which tells the story of a young scientist who created a grotesque living creature through a scientific experiment and was horrified by what he had made. Thanks to a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, your community has a special opportunity to bring “Frankenstein” to life by creating thought-provoking — and fun — programs that involve the whole family. There are a number of ways you can take advantage of Indiana Humanities’ “One State / One Story: Frankenstein” program. Nonprofits can apply to host a community read or a “Frankenfest” and receive $1,000 stipends, books, free swag items for participants and tips for success. Visit www.indianahumanities.org/Frankenstein to learn more. If you’re part of a book club, borrow copies of “Frankenstein” from our free Novel Conversations lending library and add it to your 2018 reading list. On social media, use #itsalive to connect with and see what others are thinking and talking about. Hands-on learners can join us in 2018, when we’ll host an Indiana Sci-Fi and Horror Writers Festival for teens, a digital gaming workshop, and an immersive weekend retreat for adults. More than a dozen colleges and universities are also offering special community courses, exhibits and film festivals inspired by the book. But first, we hope you’ll join us in Indianapolis for Frankenfest at the Indiana Medical History Museum on Sept. 30, 2017. During this one-of-a-kind free read-a-thon, the book will be read continuously from start to finish in the operating theater of the oldest pathology lab in the country. Elsewhere there will be behind-the-scenes tours, mini-talks on curios from the museum’s collection of brain specimens, handson art-making activities for kids and families, and a pop-up exhibit of rare anatomical texts from the Ruth Lilly Medical Library at IU School of Medicine. An onsite “Franks-N-Steins” beer garden will feature “Frankenbeers” from Central State Brewing and food from Kind David Dogs for sale. Pre-registration is requested, and if you’re interesting in being a reader, you can apply to read a 15-minute passage of the book at the event. Learn more at http://frankenfest.eventbrite.com. Written by Shelley as a teenager and published in 1818, “Frankenstein” is classic, yet contemporary. The book raises big questions about the practice of science and its role in society. It also raises questions about right and wrong, how we understand ourselves in relation to the world around us, and how we live in the world—all questions we still deal with today. We think “Frankenstein” is the perfect novel to kick-start some of those serious conversations. But we promise to have some monstrous fun along the way, too. Will you join us?

Residents help find kitten Dear Editor: I am voting 700 South, Wabash the best neighborhood in Wabash for the month of September. We are from the State of Washington and recently visited Wabash for a month. The last few days of our visit our beloved cat disappeared into the cornfields. She is a little, bitty thing and has been a part of our family for over 5 years. Of course, we were devastated. We searched and searched and called her name and walked the cornfield all in vain. Finally, heartbroken, we decided that a coyote must have had her for lunch. We could no longer detain our trip so we packed up our Airstream and headed to our next stop in Columbus, Ohio, without her. To our great surprise and ever hopeful hearts, our relative when leaving for work early one morning a week later told us that he thought he saw a cat that looked like her sitting on the side of a cornfield down the road. We immediately prepped the Airstream for a trip and returned posthaste to Wabash. We were able to arrive by early afternoon on the same day she was reported seen. We decided to approach all the neighbors in the area in this spread out neighborhood. The houses on 700 South are all spaced out between cornfields. No one is in sight on another

when the corn is high. We printed flyers and knocked on doors. No one was home when we passed the flyers out, but by the end of the day in walking the street every hour, the neighbors one by one came outside to talk with us. One neighbor reported that she too had seen a kitty matching our description on her way to work early that morning as well. Another neighbor reported that they had seen our kitty two days earlier sitting outside their fence just watching them. We were overjoyed with hope. What happened next impressed us and touched our hearts. This neighborhood came out in full force. One neighbor drove around on his four wheeler searching. This was quite appreciated because I for one actually got blisters on my feet I was walking so

much looking for our kitty girl. Another neighbor and her daughter walked the neighborhood after work looking. The mechanic in the mechanic shop at the end of the street was driving in his car looking for her. And, yet another neighbor rigged a trap with food to try to get her back. She was indeed caught in this trap 24 hours later. If not for this trap, we might still be there today looking through those cornfields!! (We have dubbed this particular neighbor the cat whispers they were so understanding of cats. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Cat Whispers on 700 South!) I really am so amazed how these neighbors, each in their own way, spent their precious time, energy and resources to find our kitty. Without them and their efforts, I wonder if she would have been found, The thought of going back to the West Coast without her was tearing us up. Thankfully, thanks to this wonderful group of strangers on 700 South, Wabash, our kitty is back with us. Thank you to all of you. Your hearts and love for a defenseless kitty will never be forgotten. I will always remember Wabash as one of the best places in America. My words of thanks does not even begin to express how deeply touched and appreciative we are. — Joy Bird

Doing things as they’ve always been done is not the best way to accomplish things Dear Editor: The mayor’s answer “nothing new and has been done for years” to my letter in the Sept. 13 issue of The Paper of Wabash County is not a good answer. WE should always be trying to do better than what we did in the past. Did we get quotations both dumping on the city and on the landfill? Did we consider the price increase in the future? Did we think about the cost if we used city trucks? When work is

being done by private contractors it should be taken to the landfill, unless the city has completely evaluated the job and taken everything into consideration. We need to cosider all aspects of the job before the job is let. The past should be viewed as a learning experience, not as etched in stone as current policy. If you wear blinders and don’t look

past your nose you will not get out of the rut you are in. The expression, caveat emptor, or “let the buyer beware” should also mean “let the taxpayer beware.” As I have said before, if you keep doing things the same way, you are going to get the same results. The taxpayers also have a responsibility to elect the right people. -- Red Hapner, Wabash

MIS class seeks to help hurricane victims Dear Editor: We are from Mrs. Clark’s sixth grade class at Manchester Intermediate School. Our class is doing a hurricane relief fundraiser. We will split the funds 50/50 between Irma and Harvey relief funds. These donations will be split 75 percent to American Red Cross and 25 percent to Best Friends (animal

rescue society). The fundraiser will be happening September 25-29 at MIS. If you want to donate, please bring money to the MIS main office or send the money with an MIS student.

THE PAPER

September 27, 2017

Bristol firm to open Grant County plant By The Paper staff MARION – Stealth Trailers, a manufacturer of open and enclosed cargo trailers, announced plans today to establish a second location in Indiana, opening a new facility in Marion. As part of its growth, the company plans to create up to 115 new jobs by 2020. “With the benefit of Indiana’s strong environment for manufacturing, Stealth Trailers has grown from a Hoosier startup into a major player in the trailer industry in less than 10 years,” said Elaine Bedel, president of the Indiana Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation (IEDC). “Indiana’s growing manufacturers like Stealth Trailer are supporting an industry that employs one in every five Hoosiers. As Stealth Trailers chooses to open its second manufacturing center in Indiana, we look forward to seeing what’s next for this Indiana company.” The Bristol-based company will lease and equip a 48,000square-foot facility at 2703 W. 9th St. in M a r i o n . Supplementing operations at its Bristol headquarters, the new facility will house complete trailer manufacturing operations, including trailer welding, assembly and final finishing. With the expanded production, the company will work to improve production lead time in support of its role as the market share leader of cargo trailers in the Midwest. With equipment installation currently underway, the company plans to launch operations at the facility by Oct. 1. Stealth Trailers, which employs approximately 175 associates in Bristol, is currently hiring for positions across the company, including production supervisors, welders, office staff and general laborers. Interested applicants may apply by visiting www.stealthtrailer.co m under the careers tab. “After careful consideration of several locations, we have found the city of Marion, Grant County and the state

of Indiana as the best possible solution for our expansion plans,” said Don Emahiser, president and chief operating officer of Stealth Trailers. “The support we have received and expect to receive in the future has been nothing short of tremendous.” Founded in 2008, Stealth Trailers manufactures custom and standard trailers for customers across the Midwest. Offering trailers with a wide variety of sizes, colors and amenities, the company produces trailers ranging from small lawn trailers to large concession trailers. With a focus on unique design and aesthetics, the company’s trailers are sold by 150 dealers throughout the region. “We are pleased that Stealth Trailers

has chosen Marion to expand their operation,” said Marion Mayor Jess Alumbaugh. “This partnership will not only assist Stealth Trailers in increasing their productivity and growth, but it provides employment opportunities for those here in Marion and Grant County looking for a new career in manufacturing. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Stealth Trailers.” The IEDC offered Stealth Enterprises LLC up to $600,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $70,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These incentives are performance based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim

WABASH 905 N. Cass St. 260-563-6333

Great ShakeOut planned Oct. 19 From the IDHS

The Great Central U.S. ShakeOut is four weeks away – Oct. 19, 2017, at 10:19 a.m. – and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) is encouraging Hoosiers to register and participate in this drill promoting earthquake safety preparation and awareness. Indiana is exposed to a serious threat of earthquakes along the

New Madrid Seismic Zone, located 180 miles southwest of Evansville, and the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, which encompasses parts of southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana. The 3.8 magnitude earthquake that occurred this week in Albion, Illinois, near the Indiana border, is a good reminder that a major earthquake along one of these

seismic zones is not a matter of if, but when. The ShakeOut is an opportunity to practice proper safety measures in the event of an earthquake, and participating is simple and only takes a few minutes. Here’s how it works: on October 19 at 10:19 a.m., participants should drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy table or desk and hold on as

if a major earthquake were happening. The days leading up to the ShakeOut are a great time to check houses, workplaces or schools for potential earthquake hazards and to create a preparedness kit that can be used for a variety of situations, not just ear thquakes. Preparedness kits should include water and food for all household members, an allhazard weather radio, first-aid supplies, flashlights and batteries, medication, items for pets and extra clothing. For information on preparedness kits and emergency preparedness, visit GetPrepared.in.g ov. To learn more about how individuals, families or organizations can participate in the 2017 Great Central U.S. ShakeOut and to regi s t e r , visit shakeout.org/ce ntralus. Registration is free and open to

everyone. The ShakeOut is the largest earthquake drill in the central United States, and it’s led by local emergency management agencies, IDHS, the Indiana Geological Survey, the Indiana Department of Education, the Central United States E a r t h q u a k e Consortium, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey. More than 2 million people in the central U.S. region have registered so far, and Indiana is currently in the lead with more than 480,000 registrants. Other states participating include Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, M i s s i s s i p p i , Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Last year, more than 660,000 Hoosiers register for the drill.

Local municipalities benefit from Community Crossing grant By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Four Wabash County municipalities received a portion of $150 million in state-matching funds through the Next Level Roads: Community Crossing Initiative, Gov. Eric Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Transportation a n n o u n c e d Wednesday, Sept. 20. Created by the General Assembly in 2016, Community Crossings funds are awarded from the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund. Wabash, North Manchester, Roann and LaFontaine were named as four of the 396 cities to receive the state matching funds this year. “Superior local roads are a key factor in maintaining Indiana’s reputation as the Crossroads of America,” Holcomb said. “I am encour-

aged that a record number of communities applied for and received funds this year, and I’m grateful to lawmakers for increasing the funding to sustain the Community Crossing Initiative.” Through the initiative, the four Wabash County communities will utilize the funds for local road projects. Wabash received $ 3 4 0 , 5 0 3 . 8 6 , LaFontaine received $59,700, North Manchester received $163,327.50 and Roann received $286,935, according to the IDOT announcement. “The health of our local economy is directly impacted by our roads and bridges,” State Rep. Dave Wolkins said. “Having these grant funds directed to our local infrastructure will ensure needed projects can be completed and our communities can continue driving forward.” In North Manchester, Town

Manager Adam Penrod told the News Journal that the department will be using the funds toward seven small projects that were completed this August. “We submitted eight different applications for different streets,” Penrod said. “We had to prioritize the different projects, so, we did the smaller ones, one through seven, first. The eighth one was a larger project – we were hoping to completely redo nine blocks of Wayne Street, but I think with the overwhelming popularity of Community Crossings grant around the state, the applications were double what they were last year. There were a lot of communities that didn’t participate last year that I think got a little more priority this year. “The majority of our close to $1 million was that eighth proj-

ect, so unfortunately we didn’t get that this year but we’ll try again next year. We do the worst streets first, so next year we’ll try again for the Wayne Street stretch of nine blocks and reevaluated and see where we’re at next year. You never know what winter can bring and what problems may surface, so our priorities may change at that point. “We’re happy with what we got and to be able to stretch our funding,” he continued. “We’re very supportive of the program and look forward to future projects that we can do.” Bob Ferguson, Roann town clerktreasurer, told The Paper of Wabash County that this is a “big deal” for his town. “It means a lot to me because we’re a very small community and whenever we can get funds like the Community Crossing grant, it’s a big deal to

us,” he explained. “Instead of doing patching or doing a couple streets at a time, we’re able to go through and make sure that the whole town gets a new surface. So that’s going to help us our immensely and once you’re in that position, then it makes it easier for you to maintain and keep your roads looking good. “Last year, we did a couple partial streets, but what we’re hoping to do with funds from this year, we’re hoping to finish the town, to have the whole town done with the exception of the roads we did last year. I’m really excited about that. It’s really going to give the whole town a nice facelift. … I am just so enthused about this and what it’s going to do for our community.” To qualify for the program, local governments must provide local matching funds, 50 percent for larger communities

or 25 percent for small communities, from a funding source approved for road and bridge construction, according to the IDOT announcement. The program’s revised matching condition, formerly set at a 50-50 requirement for all applicable communities, was a welcomed change for Ferguson. “This year the State of Indiana was so nice to change that from a 50-50 to a 75-25, which really meant a lot to us because that makes our money go even further,” he explained. “So (the town) already budgeted from last year money to do a few streets and so what we were able to do is from the special LOIT that they gave us last year or the year before that was for streets and with some money that we had put aside in our motor vehicle and highway funds, we were able to make that our matching. “So we didn’t have

to borrow any money at all for our matching, which is about $95,500.” In Wabash, the funds will match 5050. Mayor Scott Long told The Paper that the local matching funds are already budgeted for as well. The initiative provided an opportunity to focus on the city’s worst streets first, according to Long. “It’s basically a paving project,” Scott Richardson, Wabash street superintendent, said. “It’ll be Canal Street, east of Wabash and make the loop around Paradise Spring and back in those (Rock City) apartments, the industrial park behind Big R and East Hill Street from the tracks out to the city limits.” When asked about a completion timeframe, Ferguson told The Paper Roann is “shovel ready.” “It’s not something that we’re going to (continued on page 24)

Gen Z expert to speak at MU From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — An internationally recognized expert in teaching companies how to engage, lead and market to emerging generations is coming to Manchester University to assist students in developing their own career paths and workplace competencies. Ryan Jenkins is a respected author and blogger on generational differences and how they affect all aspects of life. This includes communication and leadership styles, values, personal and professional goals, as well as underlying philosophies concerning work. Jenkins will present “Next Generation

Success: Becoming a 21st Century Professional” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 12 in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus. It is free and open to the public. A top-ranked speaker about the generations, he is a leading voice on how and why those differences affect Millennials and Generation Z. Who is a Millennial and who is Gen Z? As Jenkins said in one of his blogs, “The verdict is still out on where the Millennial generation ends and Generation Z begins. Some studies start Generation Z as early as 1993 and others as late as 2000. But no matter how you slice it, there are clear differences in behavior and preferences between

Generation Z and the Millennials.” Jenkins will discuss how work has changed in the 21st century, focusing on generational differences and how to succeed and best utilize them. He will discuss perceived Gen Z shortcomings in the workplace – such as devaluing faceto-face communication, career impatience, dependence on feedback, lack of work ethic – and offer ways to leverage their unique worldview and skills into becoming the leaders of tomorrow. Sponsored by the MU Office of Career and P r o f e s s i o n a l Development, the speech is part of Career Expo for students, which begins at 6:30 p.m. Jenkins’s

presentation is also part of the Values, Ideas and the Arts series at the University, which offers academic enrichment for students.

Manchester alumna to discuss countering violent extremism in fragile regions From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — A 1994 graduate will speak at Manchester University about real-life approaches used in Somalia and Kenya to counter violent extremism. Angi Yoder-Maina, an expert in post-conflict development and governance who works with refugee communities, will return to North Manchester for “Quraca Nabadda:

The Tree of Peace –Trauma-infor med Approaches to Countering Violent Extremism: Case Studies from Somalia and Kenya” at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 5, in Cordier Auditorium. The presentation is free and open to the public. Yoder-Maina will show videos that highlight work on the ground in the African conflict. Entire generations and nations are living in protracted vio-

lence, existing in survival mode for decades. This has caused their social and economic fabric to disintegrate. The cracks – tribalism, corruption, revenge attacks, war and displacement, the colonial past, sexual violence, discrimination, lack of hope and opportunity for youth, injustice, historic grievances – are entrenched. There is structural, cultural and political violence.

This affects individuals who may exhibit apathy, isolation, aggressiveness and violence, and this pattern extends to families and the very systems and structures they depend on – government, security and civil society. Aid workers and diplomats who attempt to assist in the recovery of these fragile regions are not immune to the effects of this insecurity. Yoder-Maina will

explain how traumainformed approaches work to address this often-ignored cause of instability. She will show examples of how those out in

Lack of rainfall could shorten fall colors viewing From the DNR Fall colors have begun to appear in some parts of the state thanks to an unusually cold start to September. While temperatures in recent days have been above normal, daytime highs in early September in Indianapolis were in the 60s and 70s, with overnight lows in the 40s on some days. The best fall color formation happens with bright, warm days, cool nights and moist soils, according to Carrie Tauscher, DNR Division of Forestry’s Community & Urban Forestry program coordinator. While all of Indiana has experienced bright, warm days, overnight lows and soil moistures have varied dramatically throughout the state. Low rainfall overall this fall threatens to shorten the window for full color enjoyment. Nonetheless, the tourist towns of southern Indiana such as Nashville, Madison and Medora shouldn’t fret, Tauscher said.

Sassafras and sweetgum trees in forest understories and along roadsides regularly give a great show of red, orange and yellow. If you plan on sightseeing for fall colors, you can contact the Purdue Extension office in the county of your destination for a report. Another option is to call the nearest state park. Colors vary statewide, and can even vary from county to county. “With all the events going on in parks and orchards and other fall destinations, you’re going to enjoy the ambiance no matter what,” Tauscher said. “Just get outside and enjoy the fall.” Leaves produce pigments that give them color. During spring and summer, the green pigment, chlorophyll, is dominant. When days become shorter, other pigments in the leaf become visible as the amount of chlorophyll dwindles. The full forest fireworks show in central Indiana should begin in the next two to four weeks depending on weather, and continue for several weeks as long as the state doesn’t experience windy storms, Tauscher said. Once the leaves fall, Tauscher said Hoosiers should consider mulching their yard leaves instead of bagging them and sending them to a landfill. One option is to mow leaves and let them be absorbed into the lawn, providing nutrients for the next growing season. Another is to layer them onto planting beds, which provides nutrients and protects against wind erosion. “It kills me when people throw all those good leaves on the curb,” she said.

Commissioners to investigate utility permit changes By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com A routine utility permit sparked a brief discussion on the permitting process at the Monday, Sept. 25, meeting of the Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners. County Highway Superintendent John Martin presented a permit allowing Indiana Fiber Network to lay fiber optic cable along county roads 400 East and 150 North, a type of request that is usually approved unanimously with no discussion from the commissioners.

I don’t think they’re done yet.” Companies are not currently charged to lay the cable, but Martin said that some Indiana counties do charge, and that several are considering the idea. According to Martin, the current permitting process allows for up to one year to complete the project. “To me, a year’s too long to allow for a project,” Givens said. “I’d like for part of the permitting process to be to give us a timeframe of when it will

be done, so that way when people call us and say, ‘hey, they dug up my house six months ago, what’s going on,’ we’re not like, ‘I don’t know.’ There’s no way for us to know. I’d like to be able to call John [Martin] and [get start and completion dates].” County Attorney Steve Downs said that he would look into adding the timeframe requirement to the current utility permit forms. After the discussion, the commissioners unanimously approved the permit for Indiana Fiber Network. “This one’s not a big project, but it just

seems like there’s more and more of these projects all the time,” Givens said. The commissioners also approved a liability insurance payment of $799.43 to cover the legal fees for Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Stephanie Gottschalk. “Gottschalk… is in a lawsuit along with several other county officials. There was some issue in regard to insurance coverage, a dispute over whether she would be covered as a CASA employee under the county’s insurance because they’re essentially volunteers,” Downs said. “In negotiation, we talked to the insurance

company, and we also talked to the Attorney General’s office, who ultimately took over Stephanie’s defense in this case. We agreed as part of that arrangement that we would cover up to $5,000 of her defense costs. We have a bill of $799.43 for those defense costs. It should be the last bill because the Attorney General has taken over her defense.” Hunt Suedhoff Kalamaros LLP, of Fort Wayne, previously represented Gottschalk in the case. According to Downs, several county employees are defendants in a federal lawsuit resulting from a parent tak-

ing issue with a recommendation that Gottschalk made to the court regarding their case, and suing those county employees and Gottschalk. Downs said that the case is currently pending in the U.S. District Court in South Bend. The commissioners also heard a report from Doug Bogert and Steve Hicks from the Wabash County Animal Shelter. According to Hicks, the shelter is at nearly double capacity, with 14 dogs (capacity of 13) and 50 cats (capacity of 24). Bogert noted that the overcrowding issue stems in part from the recent hurricanes on

the Gulf Coast. “Adoptions are down a little bit. We had been up, but things such as hurricanes down in Texas and Florida actually affect us because they moved a lot of animals out of there,” Bogert said. “It’s making it hard for us to adopt right now, just because of the influx of animals coming up.” The pair also noted that financial support from the county and the City of Wabash is crucial to their success as a shelter, saying that, while they do fundraise, the city and county’s contributions are still necessary.

Rawski joins Wabash Chiropractic as licensed massage therapist By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Licensed massage therapist Kristine Rawski joined the staff at Wabash Chiropractic Center in early September and adding to the facility’s wholesome healthcare services. Rawski, a Peru native, received her Associate of Applied Science degree in therapeutic massage from the Fort Wayne Ivy Tech Community College in May. In June, she completed her State of Indiana licensing require-

ments and is a member of the American Massage Therapy Association. Before starting her career as a licensed massage therapist, “I was working in a doctor’s office as a receptionist,” Rawski told The Paper of Wabash County, “and over the course of those several years, I saw a need for helping people that I felt, in myself, I had, but I wasn’t sure if registered nurse (career) was something that I wanted to do. “So when I decided to go back to school, massage therapy was

a way for me to do that, to help without needing (to prescribe) medication.” Through her training, Rawski is trained in techniques including Swedish massage, deep tissue, pregnancy, biomechanics, sports massage and geriatric massage. She is also able to service those with medical conditions, infants and children. “I also took electives in acupuncture, Shiatsu and aroma therapy and personal fitness,” she said. Rawski began at the Wabash Chiropractic Center

RAWSKI on Monday, Sept. 4, and is excited to add to the facility’s services. “I graduated May 12 from Ivy Tech and the following week I started at Solutions Salon and Day Spa in Kokomo,” Rawski said. “I liked working there. It was a great salon with great people, but the chiropractic world just seemed

to be a better fit for me. “So when the opportunity presented itself, when Dr. (David) Frischman asked me to join his practice, I was thrilled because I think they go one in the same. Massage is a great complement to chiropractic care. His patients get more out of their adjustments and prolong their results. It’s very benefitial.” To schedule an appointment with Rawski, call 260-5638476. The Wabash Chiropractic Center is open Monday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday 9 a.m. to noon, Thursday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Local municipalities benefit from Community Crossing grant...continued from page 17 have to put off for a long time,” he explained. “We’re working right now on getting the bid releases so that company can start to make bids on this (road) project because what we’re really doing is we’re resurfacing. Our street department, our street superintendent and our assistant street superintendent have done a great job of making sure patchwork has been done so that it gives us a nice under base. So what we’re going to be able to do is go through and do overlay on most of the town (roads) with the exception of down the

main street and then we’ll have to do a bit of milling there and then the overlay over the milling. “So it’s not going to be anything where they’re going to have to go in and tear out streets and then put in more. They’re just going to put in an overlay so that we can maintain that through the next few years.” The Paper of Wabash County attempted to ask for comment from LaFontaine’s Clerk Treasurer Cynthia Erb and was not able to reach her by deadline.

Wabash speaker series celebrates the Protestant Reformation By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash M i n i s t e r i a l Association is hosting a month-long speaker series starting Sunday, Oct. 1, to celebrate 500 years and counting since the Protestant Reformation. Hosted at the Honeywell Center on Sunday afternoons throughout October, the speakers will discuss the reformation’s effects on the modern world, the Rev. Jonathan Cornell, of Wabash Presbyterian Church, told The Paper of Wabash County. “I think cultural and religious and societal effects of the reformation, not just from a church standpoint but the ways that it impacted society, merits a good, long exploration,” Cornell said, “and what we’re hoping is that appointing it from a number of different angles that we will really do a good job of helping people that might be interested in the history, might be interested in the kind of turning point moments in history, get a full picture of what it was, why it happened and why it’s still important today or how it has impacted

the world today.” Dr. Jacob Corzine, a professor of theology at Concordia University in Chicago, will kick off the series on Oct. 4 with his discussion on “The Reformation through Lutheran eyes.” On Sunday, Oct. 8, Bill Lliorca, of the Trinity Evangelical Church in Larwill, will lead the talk in “The Reformation through Reformed Eyes.” Dr. Clearance Bence, professor of church history at Wesley Seminary, will head the discussion of “The Reformation through

Wesleyan/Ar minian Eyes” Oct. 15. Steven O’Keefe, Catholic blogger and Apologist from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, will wrap up the talks at the Honeywell Center on Oct. 22 with “The Reformation through Catholic Eyes.” The series will conclude with a C e l e b r a t i o n Reformation Service and Meal, led by the Rev. Martins Irbe, a noted scholar and historian of European history, at the Wabash Presbyterian Church on Oct. 29.

“If you noticed with the speakers, this is not just a Protestant exclusive (event),” Cornell said. “We are also including the Catholic church because what I think a lot of folks don’t realize is, at that same time that (Martin) Luther was reforming, there was a Catholic reformation that was beginning as well. I think (at the time) everyone had saw that the church had wandered from its first love and it needed to be called back to what it was to be about.” The event is free and open to the public.

Each talk will begin with conversation and then end with a question and answer series, according to Cornell. “I think the nature of these talks is informative in nature,” Cornell said. “For folks who are deeply committed to their faith, our hope is (the series) is something that draws them into deeper appreciation with their heritage although this isn’t something that’s evangelistic in nature. “This is (a series) that could be of interest to a wide swath of the population, both for churchgoers or

Oct. 15 and Oct. 22 events will begin at 4 p.m. in the Honeywell Room with refreshments provided. The Oct. 29 service and meal at the Wabash Presbyterian Church will also begin at 4 p.m. To learn more about the speaker series, visit wama-events.org or email info@wamaevents.org.

INDIANAPOLIS— September is Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, and state health officials are encouraging parents to talk with their children about healthy eating and physical activity. “Children who are obese are more likely to be obese as adults,” said Deputy State Health

Commissioner Pam Pontones. “This can lead to lifelong physical and mental health problems, including diabetes and increased risk of certain cancers. As parents, we can help lead by example and talk with our kids about making healthy choices.” Approximately one of every five children in the United States is obese, according to the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Indiana, almost 31 percent of children ages 10 to 17 were overweight or obese in 2015. The main causes of excess weight in youth are similar to those in adults and include lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating. While there is no single solution, National Childhood

Obesity Awareness Month provides an opportunity for parents and children to learn about ways to prevent and address this public health problem. The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) offers families tips on how to eat better and move more: Don’t applaud clean plates. Teach your child to stop eating when full, not when the plate is clean. Pack healthy lunches. Replace chips with cut-up vegetables and lowfat dip or hummus, replace white bread with whole-grain bread and replace sugary desserts with fresh fruit. Replace sugary drinks like soda with water, 100 percent fruit juice or low-fat milk. For a quick and nutritious meal, use frozen vegetables. They are quick and easy to use and are just as nutritious as fresh vegetables. When eating out, ask for vegetables or a side salad instead of French fries. Turn off all electronic devices after dinner and instead take a family walk or bike ride, dance to music or play hide and seek together. Help children with physical limitations choose or adapt activities to meet their needs, such as playing wheelchair basketball or wheelchair tennis.

3 injured in school bus-truck accident By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Three people, including two children, reported injuries following a pickup truckschool bus collision on Wednesday, Sept. 20. According to the official Wabash City Police Department report: At 3:44 p.m., WPD Officers Joe Treska and Mike Castro responded to a traffic accident report at the intersection of Allen Street and Maple Street that involved a school bus and another vehicle that overturned. Treska reported that an MSD of Wabash County school bus

Rescue personnel work to remove Ricky Dillon from his vehicle. Photo by Joseph Slacian driven by Stacie A. Denniston, 52, Wabash, was stopped westbound on Maple Street at a stop sign when she attempted to enter the intersection and collided with a 1999 Dodge Ram pickup truck driven by Ricky A. Dillon, 55, Wabash. Dillon’s vehicle then

struck the curb and overturned. At the time of the collision, there were 19 children on the bus and two students reported a complaint of pain. One youth was taken to Parkview Wabash Hospital for whiplash. Wabash City Fire

responded to the scene and used the Jaws of Life to help Dillon out of his vehicle. Dillon was then transported to Parkview Wabash Hospital for complaint of pain in his foot, his lower back, a small laceration on the palm of his hand and bruising on his left bicep.

At the hospital, Dillon informed officers that at the time of the accident he was leaving work and traveling south on Allen Street when Denniston’s school bus pulled out in front of him. He said that he attempted to swerve to avoid a collision, but could not do so and Dillon’s vehicle struck the school bus. Dillon advised that he was not sure if the school bus stopped at the stop sign, according to the police report. At the crash site, an eyewitness at the scene told officers she believed that Dillon’s vehicle was traveling over the speed limit when it entered the intersection, according to Treska’s report.

is a key component of this effort as troopers continue to emphasize to commercial vehicle carrier companies, their drivers and the drivers of passenger cars about the importance of voluntary compliance with seatbelt and traffic laws. It is an undisputed fact that proper seatbelt use reduces the possibility of injury or death the result of a crash. Specific to commercial vehicle drivers, some operators are not properly wearing their seatbelt. “Unfortunately, we are finding – more often than not – that many CMV drivers are using a device on the shoulder strap portion of the safety belt that is designed to reduce tension on the shoulder,” stated Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle E n fo rc e m e n t D i v i s i o n Commander Major Jon Smithers. “The loosening of the shoulder strap can compromise the effectiveness of the safety belt and is also in violation of the Indiana seatbelt law and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.” Through continued education and enforcement of Indiana’s seatbelt laws, lives can be saved. While our stated goal is voluntary compliance, in those situations where a traffic ticket is warranted, commercial vehicle operators will be cited for seatbelt violations. It is important to note that semi-tractors do not have any type of air bag safety system installed within the cab of the truck, as compared to airbag systems installed in modern passenger cars and pick-up trucks. Unsecured commercial truck drivers involved in crashes can be thrown out of the driver’s seat resulting in a secondary crash when the truck is not brought to a controlled stop.
