Marketplace, The Paper plan citywide garage sales By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Need some extra cash? Have stuff around the house that is no longer wanted or needed? Why not take advantage of the citywide sale in Wabash to help gain some extra cash and get rid of some stuff from around your house. Wabash Marketplace, in conjunction with The Paper of Wabash County, is sponsoring the event on July 14-15. All city limit residents are welcomed to participate as a featured stop for only a $15 registration fee, while all area residents are welcomed to shop, according to Tyler Karst, Wabash Marketplace project coordinator. “There’s a lot of great momentum here in Wabash and community wide,” Karst told The Paper. “There’s so many people who love getting out and checking out garage sales. “Other communities have done it, and here, at Wabash Marketplace, we thought, ‘Why don’t we get together and try something like this?’ The pieces fell together for the planning of this.” Karst said he would love to see more than 50 households participate, noting the more that do it the better. “If we could get 112, that would be great,” he said. He expects nice crowds to come and shop. “If you look at our First Fridays and other events, you would think the more people that are involved would mean the less number of people participating,” Karst said. “But there is a great, active community here in Wabash, as well as the surrounding areas. There are so many people that come here to support Wabash that I feel, and Marketplace feels, this will just do the same thing, drive in a lot of people who love garage sales.” While the event is scheduled for two days, Karst said individual households can set their own hours on either or both days. Those interested in participating should sign up via wabashmarketplace.org or by phone call, 260-563-0975. Located within the city limits, any participant will be featured via social media marketing with a digital map as well as a shared (continued on page 4)

Couple to recreate first date to help mark 77th anniversary By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com In 1939, Roy Shepler met his future bride, Martha. Shepler, then 17-years-old, cruised his buddies to the Historic Eagles Theatre in his father’s 1933 Plymouth. Martha Van Roe, also 17 at the time, walked to the movies with her three friends where she met the man she’d later call her husband. “Of course, I was a nasty one,” Mrs. Shepler told The Paper of Wabash County. “He wore suspenders and I flipped them to get his attention of course. He and his cousin sat in the balcony so we went up and sat behind them. That’s how it all started.” One year later, on July 29, 1940, the pair got married at Mrs. Shepler’s family home. “I was 18 and he was 19 by nine days,” Mrs. Shepler said. “We kept things real close,” Shepler said with a smile. Now 77 years later, the Sheplers’ marriage is still going strong as they prepare to celebrate another anniversary at 95- and 96-years-old. This year, however, they’re hoping

Indiana Supreme Court Justice earlier this month. Chief Justice Loretta H. Rush appointed Springer on June 19, according to paperwork filed with the clerk of the Indiana Supreme Court of Appeals and Tax Court. The move comes after Goff notified the court that he will be unavailable to perform the duties of his office beginning July 10, and that he will be leaving the office on July 23 to assume his new duties on July 24. Springer is a 1995 graduate of the Indiana University School of Law, Bloomington. Before law school she graduated from IU Bloomington with a double major in English and journalism. As a judge, she has served in the Huntington County Superior Court in a pro temp position, and as a juvenile magistrate in the Allen County Superior Court Family Relations Division. Springer will take over Goff ’s post on July 10 and will remain there until “otherwise discharged” from the post. That won’t likely take place until a permanent replacement for Goff is named by Gov. Eric Holcomb. The governor’s office is accepting applications for the post for 45 days, Holcomb’s press secretary, Stephanie Wilson, told The Paper of Wabash County. The deadline for applying is 5 p.m. July 28. The four-page application requires applicants to comment on a variety of things, ranging from their health and memberships to military experience and past political candidate attempts. It also requires applicants to discuss their legal background, including such things as what pro bono, or free, legal service he or she may have offered, disciplinary proceedings the applicant faced, and if he or she has ever been arrested for anything other than routine traffic violations. The applicant also must provide a least two writing samples from “a trial or appellate brief, judicial opnion, or article in a legal journal” he or she has written. (continued on page 4)

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has approved an After-the-Fact Construction permit to build a pedestrian bridge over Lagro Creek. The permit, filed by Amy Ford of Wabash River Trail Inc., was approved by James J. Hebenstreit, assistant director of the DNR’s Division of Wabash, on June 21. The bridge, according to the certificate of approval, will be constructed at the site of a former bridge, and will span beyond the existing bridge abutments, of which the lower portions will remain in place. The new bridge will have a span length of 44-feet, 6inches, and will have an out-to-out width of 15-feet, 5inches. Roughly 900 feet of the trail and trailhead have already been constructed in the floodway, both east and (continued on page 5)

West Nile Virus reported across Indiana; Wabash department stresses ‘take precaution now’ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com West Nile Virus has been reported in several counties across Indiana, but, for now, Wabash County is not one of them. As of June 23, two human cases of have been documented in Hamilton and Lake counties while mosquitoes in Tippecanoe, Morgan, Clark, Pike and Knox counties have tested positive for the virus.

Wabash City Street Department began trapping mosquitoes for testing the weekend of June 24, according to Justin Adams, department official responsible for trapping. By trapping, the local street department is “looking just for a number count for the most part and then we’ll take them to our guy who takes them to the state department of health for testing,” Adams told The Paper of Wabash County. “We set the

standing water in areas that collect it,” he explained. “If you had big areas that really flooded, you’d have a lot of stagnant water and then it would be a problem, but there’s really no flooding going on (currently).” Mosquitoes breed in standing water and can propagate in a container even as small as a bottle cap. The insect’s eggs will then hatch in approximately seven to 14 days if given the opportunity, Adams continued. “It doesn’t take long so that’s why we say if you flush out

trap out for a night once a week and then we’ll take them to our guy on Tuesday (June 27). “I think we’re down (in mosquito population) this year. Last year, I think we were starting to spray in the next week or so, and as of now we won’t be.” This year, Wabash County and northern Indiana has experienced a longer rain season than years prior, which, in terms of mosquitoes, is a good thing for area residents, according to Adams. “The rain actually helps cycle out the

your fountains and birdbaths every seven days,” he said. “It doesn’t take long at all. They need that water to survive. Once you dump that bird bath, they’re dead.” State health department officials said they expect to continue to see increased WNV activity throughout the state as the mosquito season progresses, according to a department press release. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, West Nike disease is a common occurrence in Indiana during mosquito sea-

son,” Jerome Adams, state health commissioner, said. “When we find evidence of the virus in multiple counties, that means the risk is starting to increase statewide. Protecting yourself from mosquito bites and eliminating breeding grounds are the best ways to prevent mosquitoborne illnesses.” Most people who get infected with WNV will have no symptoms or mild symptoms while a few individuals will have a more severe form of the disease, according to the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). The more severe form of WNV includes encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain, or meningitis, the inflammation of the tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord. WNV symptoms that may be present in a person infected by the virus include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, muscle weakness or paralysis, and confusion. The virus can cause West Nile Fever, a mild form of the illness, which can include fever, headaches, body aches, swollen lymph glands or a rash, according to ISDH officials. The best way to decrease the likelihood of WNV spreading is prevention through utilizing healthy outdoor habits and reducing mosquito breeding grounds. The Wabash Street Department will have the mosquito testing results back in approximately two weeks, but until then the organization is encouraging locals to do their part to keep the population down and to stay safe. “Take precaution now. Don’t wait until we report it,” Scott Richardson, Wabash Street Department superintendent, said. “Yes and keep your area picked up,” Adams said. “That’s the biggest part.”

Recommended preventative measures include: • Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are active, which is typically in the late afternoon, from dusk to dawn and in the early morning. • Apply an EPAregistered 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. To reduce breeding grounds around the home or personal property, the ISDH recommends the following: • Discard old tires, tin cans, buckets, drums, bottles, 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. Also, fill in or drain any low places in the yard, such as puddles or ruts. Fill in tree rot holes and hollow stumps that could hold water with sand or concrete. • Clean clogged roof gutters, particularly if leaves tend to plug up the drains. Cover trash containers to keep out rainwater. • Frequently replace the water in pet bowls. • Flush ornamental fountains and birdbaths as well as change water in plant pots and drip trays every seven days. • Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with predatory fish.

Southwood High receives state Advanced Placement award Local school one of 53 recognized for achievement By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Indiana Department of Education honored Southwood Jr.-Sr. High School Wednesday, June 14, as a recipient of the 2016 Advanced Placement (AP) Awards. One of 53 schools to receive the award, the Tuesday afternoon ceremony at the Indiana Statehouse North Atrium recog-

nized schools that had at least 25 percent of their 2016 graduating class receive a 3, 4 or 5 on an AP exam. Based upon 2016 information, 36 percent of Southwood’s eligible students took an AP exam with 50 percent of those students passing, according to the U.S. News & World Report 2017 Best High Schools of Indiana. “That is an outstanding achievement and we are really proud of (our students and AP teachers),” SHS Principal Andrew McDaniel told the MSD of

Wabash County School Board Tuesday, June 13. McDaniel later told The Paper of Wabash County that the 36 percent “puts us in the top 55 high schools in Indian for AP success. … Advanced Placement courses are more challenging that other high school courses and give students an opportunity to experience the rigor of college level classes.” AP is a researchbacked method to facilitate student participation and success through delivery of college-level courses

and corresponding exams in the high school setting, according to officials at the Indiana Department of Education. “Research tells us time and again taking and passing AP courses prepares students for the rigors of the college classroom,” Dr. Jennifer McCormick, Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction, said. “I am pleased with the dedication these schools and their educators have shown in providing a head start into higher education for their students. “I applaud the success of each student who worked hard to study and pass their advanced placement courses and exams.”

By The Paper staff The Wabash River Defenders will have a river cleanup on Saturday, July 29. The event will help to continue the efforts of the past six years to rid the river of all debris. The group has held an event every year since 2011, except for one year during flood stage. The WRDs have removed 124 tons of debris and 4,800 tires through the effort of hundreds of volunteers. Wabash County is known for having the largest volunteer Wabash River cleanup in Indiana. “If mother nature behaves this year, Wabash River Defenders will get every last tire out of the river,” said Michael Beauchamp, a volunteer with the group. The WRDs organize cleanup teams along the river in Wabash County so each team

is responsible for just a few miles. Debris is loaded onto boats, floated to river access points, and then moved by pickup or trailer to a central location at Paradise Spring Park. Debris is sorted for tires, recyclables, electronics, and landfill disposables. “We try to recycle and reuse whenever possible to reduce landfill waste,” volunteer Jen Rankin said. Anyone interested in volunteering must be at least 16 years of age, organizers said. Those under 13 can help, but a parent also must participate. Volunteers, they said, must be willing “to get wet and muddy in the river.” In addition, people are needed on land to help with moving, sorting and loading debris. Volunteer groups should have Pickup trucks, boats, shovels, trowels, rope, and personal gear like gloves,

hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, bug repellant, personal beverages and personal flotation device for each person in a boat. An organizational meeting is planned for 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 13, at the Wabash County Solid Waste District office, 1101 Manchester Ave. All team leaders and individual volunteers may attend. The cleanup will begin at 8 a.m. July 29 at Paradise Spring. All volunteers should be out of the river by 1 p.m., organizers said. Anyone interested in volunteering or to sign up a team, call Rankin at 260-503-9880 A limited supply of T-shirts for first volunteers who sign up are available. Once they are gone, there are no more The Wabash Rivers Defenders are a group of volunteers who protect the river and promote recreation, wildlife habitat, and ecology.

Commissioners hear jail report By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com Last week’s jail numbers were one of only two items reported during the Monday, June 26, meeting of the Wabash County Board of Commissioners.

“As of this morning, I have 92 in our facility, we’re holding 41 in Miami County, eight in Elkhart County and seven in Wells County for a total of 148,” Sheriff Bob Land said. He added that last week’s peak popula-

tion was 94 inmates, that there were 26 new book-ins and 12 transports, and that last week’s average was 89.71 inmates. The commissioners also signed off on payroll claims for June 17, presented by County Auditor Marcie Shepherd.

Couple to recreate first date to help mark 77th anniversary...continued from the front page couple will relive the night everything started. The only missing piece, Brainard told The Paper, is a 1933 Plymouth. “We’re looking for

(someone to volunteer) a ’33 Plymouth (for the ride),” she said, “and (Shepler) told me it would take a miracle and I said, ‘Well we’re going to try for a miracle.’”

Throughout their marriage, the Sheplers gave it their all. Shepler brought the jokes and laughter while Mrs. Shepler kept reality in perspective, and

“may be a little bit of the reason we got along pretty good,” Shepler said. “Maybe that’s what it takes, a little laughter and a little reality,” Mrs. Shepler added with a smile. Life together has been a good one, the couple added. Marriage “took all of my hair off,” Shepler joked with a chuckle. “Well, we raised four kids and it was just an average life,” Mrs. Shepler said. “He worked two and three jobs to help pay to raise kids. When they got (old enough) to where we could have a babysitter, I went to work. (We) were just an average

Roy and Martha Shepler smile for a picture in their youth. The pair met as moviegoers in 1939 and married a year later on July 30, 1940. This year they’ll celebrate 77 years of love and laughter together. Photo provided family, really. “One of the ministers one day told me, ‘You know Martha, you got the ideal family.’ Well I got four kids, they looked average to me and I looked at them, looked back at him and he said, ‘Each child has a brother and a sister.’ And I never thought of that way, so I felt like we had pretty nice kids. The couple’s children include Beverly Richardson, Jerry Shepler, Vicki Shepler Warner and the late Richard “Rick” Shepler. The Sheplers founded their marriage on faith and attended church regularly. They “made do without,” never spending money friv-

olously, according to Mrs. Shepler. Cars were the only exception. “We got a new car every three years,” Shepler said with a smile. “I think it was 1959 when we bought our first new one. Boy, did I think I was up in the world and then from then on, every three years.” In those cars, the Sheplers and their four children toured the nation and “have been to every state in the union, except Hawaii,” Mrs. Shepler said. The secret to their marriage isn’t really a secret, the couple explained. “Believe it or not, maybe half a dozen asked me what made us get along for that

length of time and I would say that most people say 50/50, but it isn’t that way,” Shepler said. “If one gives 75 (percent) and the other gives (25) percent, you have to give more. You have to give more than 50 percent to get along.” Sometimes, it takes both sides giving 100 percent, he continued. “But we went to church, we believed in church and worked in church, and I believe to this day that God’s blessed us,” Mrs. Shepler added. To volunteer the use of a 1933 Plymouth for the anniversary night on July 30, contact Maia Brainard at 260-2740444.

DNR approves WRT permit west of the proposed bridge. Upon completion, the asphalt trail will be 10- to 12-feet wide with another 2-feet of stone shoulders. The bridge is part of the first phase of Wabash River Trails plan to construct a bicycle path across Wabash County. The first phase of the Lagro path will be approximately 1.8 miles long. If all goes as planned, it will eventually extend to the west, connecting with the existing trail at Paradise Spring Historical Park. The permit has a 24month lifespan, and work must be complet-

ed by June 21, 2019. While the permit was approved, it did contain several special conditions that WRT must follow. Those include: — Revegetating all bare and disturbed areas within the project area using a mixture of grasses, sedges and wildflowers native to Northern Indiana and specifically for stream bank/floodway stabilization purposes as soon as possible upon completion. — Not excavating in the waterway and minimize disturbance to bank vegetation and contain disturbance to within the project limits. — Not constructing

any temporary runarounds, access bridges, causeways, cofferdams, diversions or pumparounds. — Having appropriately designed measures for controlling erosion and sediment implemented to prevent sediment from entering the stream or leaving the construction site. It also must maintain the measures until construction is complete and all disturbed areas are stabilized. — Seeding and protecting disturbed stream banks that are 3:1 or steeper with heavy-duty net-free biodegradable erosion control blankets to minimize the entrap-

ment and snaring of small wildlife such as snakes and turtles. It also must seed and apply mulch on all other disturbed areas. — Not excavating or placing fill in any riparian wetland. — Using a sealant that is environmentally friendly, free of asphalt and coal tar products and PAHs for initial construction and during future maintenance in order to avoid detrimental impacts upon aquatic species. — Not placing riprap or disturbing the area between the western abutment of Lagro Creek that is currently providing wildlife passage.

...continued from the front page

— Except for the material used as backfill … it must place all excavated material landward of the floodway. — Having all work conform with the existing bank at the upstream and downstream limits of the project site. — Not leaving felled trees, brush or other debris in the floodway. — Anchoring the bridge deck to prevent dislodging and/or flotation during high water events. — Removing all construction debris from the floodway upon project completion. — Keeping the bridge waterway opening free of debris and

sediment at all times. Opponents to the plan have 18 days from the mailing date of the

notice of approval – June 23 – to appeal the measure.

New club aims to increase Wabash County’s ‘well-armed’ women By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Well Armed Woman, a national armed self-defense organization, formed a new chapter in Wabash County earlier this month and aims to educate, equip and empower local ladies, according to Debra Pyrah, local chapter co-leader. Established with the goal to build defense gun skills and awareness, The Well Armed Woman of Wabash County was created following the first

Wabash Wildlife and S p o r t s m a n Association’s (WWSA) women’s firearms training and safety program. More than 150 ladies attended the programs, which took place February through April, and officials noticed “the desire of many women in our community who want to learn and grow in their knowledge of shooting sports.” “We are striving to create an encouraging environment for women shooters of all skill levels to learn,

grow and have fun together,” Pyrah said. With The Well Armed Woman of Wabash County’s formation, those courses will continue. The chapter’s monthly events will typically of 30 minute classroom teaching and 60 minute practice range time, according to officials. On Wednesday, June 28, the local chapter is inviting women ages 18 and older from Wabash County and surrounding areas to learn more about the group and its purpose. The evening will cater

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

Three county students receive awards By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpa per.com NORTH MANCHESTER — Two Manchester High School graduates and one Northfield High School graduates received help with their college funds, thanks to S h e p h e r d ’ s Chevrolet sponsoring a national FFA scholarship. Manchester’s Audrey Wilcox and Hallie Sorg, and Northfield’s Jacob Schuler all received $1,000 scholarships through the National FFA Organization, sponsored by S h e p h e r d ’ s Chevrolet in North Manchester. Lindzy Shepherd and Tyler Shepherd

of Shepherd’s Chevrolet in North Manchester spearheaded the sponsorship. “With each of us being past members of FFA ourselves, we felt it was a great opportunity to team up with Chevy Truck and FFA to provide scholarships for local chapters,” Lindzy Shepherd said. “It is important to us at Shepherd’s Chevrolet to give back to our community, and saw this as a great way to help our local youth.” Wilcox is the daughter of Doug and Amy Wilcox. She is a four-year FFA member and a 10year 4-H member. She plans to attend Marian University in Indianapolis to study education focusing on the middle/high school level. “I’m really glad that Shepherd’s Chevrolet did this scholarship through

FFA so we could all get money for school,” Wilcox said. Sorg is the daughter of Keith and Rachelle Sorg. She has been a member of FFA for five years. She plans on attending Manchester University or St. Mary’s College in the fall of 2017 and study medicine. “I’m thankful for this because it will really help me get through school,” Sorg said. Schuler is the son of Michael and Andrea Schuler. He was a member of Northfield FFA. He plans on attending Purdue University and major in Ag ricultural B u s i n e s s Management and farm after college. “I’m really thankful for Shepherd’s Chevrolet, because every little bit helps paying for school,” Schuler said. The scholarships are among 1,888

awarded through the National FFA Organization’s scholarship program this year. Shepherd’s is one of 115 sponsors that help contribute more than $2.7 million to support scholarships for students. The three Wabash County recipients were selected from 8,337 applicants from around the country.

Manchester Early Learning Center opens new facility By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — After nearly four years of fundraising phone calls, letters and presentations, Manchester Early Learning Center’s (MELC) new facility opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony Saturday, June 24. “What a day, what a celebration, what a facility,” MELC Board President Jim Smith said, speaking to a large crowd gathered at the Center’s new location, at 705 N. Market St. in North Manchester. Smith thanked several people and organizations, including past and present MELC board members, the North Manchester Town Council and the donors and organizations that help fund the Center. Smith also introduced several speakers who were involved in the project, including Bill Kinder, CEO of design firm Michael Kinder and Sons; Keith Gillenwater, CEO of E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County; Michael Galbraith of the Road to One Million project; John Sampson, CEO of Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, which provided funding for the project through the Regional D e v e l o p m e n t Authority; Jim Chinworth, youth pastor of the Manchester Church of the Brethren (MCoB); Karly Eichenauer, one of the MCoB youths who raised funds for the facility; and MELC Executive Director Janet French. “I’m incredibly inspired to be here

today, because I think that this is one of the most inspirational projects of all of the ones we’re talking about in Northeast Indiana,” Galbraith said. He added that the partnership is investing nearly $254 million in its 11 counties, meaning about one percent of the total available funds went to the MELC. “You are investing in a generation that’s going to come back and say, ‘Growing up in North Manchester was the best time of my life.’ You’re also investing in developing a set of leaders that’s going to be unparalleled in Northeast Indiana,” he said, noting that programs to train executives to make an impact in their community are remarkably similar to the training that the MCoB youth group participated in while fundraising for the MELC. “Where else can you go where you can play all day,” French said. “Our days are filled with hugs and smiles and priceless artwork, as well as the satisfaction to know that we’re touching the future… We just thank you so much for this gift to our community.” The students of the Center made a paper chain to serve as the ribbon for the ceremony, and French invited current and past students to come assist with opening the new facility. According to French, the Center’s Market Street facility will allow them to teach and care for 108 students, more than double the number of spots at their current facility on South Street.

Photo by David Fenker “We have room for up to 55 children, but due to licensing we can really only have 46,” she said. The Market Street facility has nine classrooms, which will be filled with children ranging from infants to kindergarteners. With the new space comes a need for new staff members as well. French said that the Center will need a total of 32-35 staff members in a variety of roles once they are at capacity. She said that July 3 will be the first day that students are in the Market Street facility, and that for the following three to four weeks the Center will keep its current group of students. “We’ll start contacting parents on our waitlist, some of whom have been waiting since 2013, and we should reach full capacity early next year,” French said. The Center’s current waitlist is between 200-

Manchester art students’ work displayed Article provided

NORTH MANCHESTER — Recently, Manchester Elementary art students participated in a district-wide collaborative art project incorporating the artwork from students in the M a n c h e s t e r E l e m e n t a r y, Intermediate, Junior High, and High schools. In total, 80 students contributed to the

creation of 20 final pieces of art. Starting with a blank paper, students from the elementary art class were challenged to create a background illustration that would fill the paper. The pieces then travelled to the intermediate school where those art students contributed illustrative components with a flight theme. The artwork continued through the junior high and

finished with the high school art students, all pieces keeping with the flight theme. All 20 pieces of completed artwork are currently being displayed as an installation in the MCS board room, along with the following quote from Dr. Seuss, “You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.”

300, up from around 150 this time last year. The length of the MELC’s waitlist – and the need that it implies – prompted a group of high school students to begin fundraising for the Center nearly four years ago. Eichenauer is a member of the Manchester Church of the Brethren Youth Group, which in October 2014 began a project to raise more than $2 million to

build a new facility for the MELC. “Through this project, we’ve witnessed our community’s com-

Indiana House bill expands school background checks to every 5 years By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County teachers and school employees will be required to undergo background checks every five years after a new Indiana law takes effect July 1. Gov. Eric Holcomb signed Indiana House Bill 1079, which incorporates regulations for school employment and teacher licensure, into effect on April 26. The bill provides that “a school corporation, charter school or nonpublic school conduct an expanded criminal history check on each employee every five years.” The same entities will also be required to conduct an expanded child protection index check on applicants no later than 60 days after the applicant’s start date. However, a school “may obtain an expanded criminal history check or expanded child protection index check at any time if the school … has reason to believe the applicant or employee is the subject of a substantiated report of child abuse or neglect or has been charged with or convicted of ... an offense requiring license revocation.” The MSD of Wabash County school board discussed the changes while reviewing board policy at its meeting Tuesday night, June 13. “Initially we always do one when (school employees) are first employed and since then that is the only background check they’ve ever had done,” Chris Kuhn, MSD assistant superintendent of finance, told the board. “So legislation was passed that requires to have background checks done for all school employees every five years. So there’s some new language in that policy that breaks up that five-year change.

In addition to teachers, school employees would also include coaches, substitute teachers, “any body that we pay basically,” according to Kuhn. After July 1, 2018, the Indiana Department of Education will establish and administer a system to receive felony conviction information from courts and cross check those names with licensed employees. If a licensee is convicted, the IDOE is required to revoke the license. The IDOE can also reinstate the license of a person convicted of certain crimes if the crime is reversed, vacated or set aside on appeal. As the new law starts to take effect, schools like MSD will have to discuss other topics pertaining to the changes, such as establishing a schedule to have the checks completed, according to Kuhn. “I know something we may talk about with negotiations is who pays for those background checks,” Kuhn said. “Right now, we require the employee to do the initial background check with they’re first hired and so do we continue that or do we cover the cost of that for them since we’re having to do it every five years? … There’s up to about 700 people every year that we’re paying so those would be the individuals we’d be needing a background check for every five years. In Wabash County, background checks reportedly cost $21.95, according to Kuhn. “It’d be about $15,000 on our end every five years,” he continued. “Or $22 on their end,” Board member Todd Topliff added. No decision was made at Tuesday’s meeting. The board will vote on the revisions to the board policy at its next meeting on Tuesday, June 27.

VIEWPOINT Much is happening downtown Dear Editor: I was aghast when I read Red Hapner’s letter likening Downtown Wabash to “our little mud hole,” after his recent stroll around town. While we still have a lot of work to do, Red needs to consider the following developments that have occurred in “our little mud hole” of a downtown just over the last few years: 1. 24 new businesses have opened 2. 22 property owners have participated in our façade improvement program which, when completed, will have generated over $50 million in private investment to improve downtown buildings 3. 41 new apartments are under construction at the Rock City Lofts 4. 11 new apartments are in development for the Old Bradley Building 5. Nine new second floor apartments have been created, with 14 more apartments presently in development in

other, privately owned, buildings 6. Six public arts projects have been completed These developments have been spearheaded by the staff and many volunteers of the CVB, Chamber, EDG, and Wabash Marketplace, but none of this would have been possible without the support of our city government. When it comes to business development, our Mayor is as progressive as any we have had in recent

memory. Our city government supports these organizations not only financially, but also by creating an entrepreneurial atmosphere which is the envy of many other small towns. The support of our city is most recently best shown by the city receiving the 2014 Stellar Communities designation, being a 2015 finalist in the America’s Best Cities competition, and winning the 2016 Deluxe Corporation Small Business Revolution.

For a small town in Indiana, we have managed pretty well—and much better than many of our peers. Downtown development in a small town is hard work. Progress is often slow and setbacks abound, but we keep plugging away for the overall good of our entire community. Highlighting our shortcomings without offering any real solutions is not helpful. I am hopeful that while Red was taking his stroll, he took a few minutes to pick up trash or pull some weeds. Or made a decision to run for office. Or decided to volunteer to help one or more of the many committees working tirelessly to improve our downtown. I’m not sure what Red was hoping to accomplish by calling our downtown a “mud hole.” I think we should be proud of what we have accomplished so far. — Steve Downs, Wabash Marketplace Inc. executive director

Stronger smoke-free law needed Dear Editor: July 1 marks the 5year anniversary of Indiana’s state smokefree air law. This law was a milestone for the state of Indiana in protecting thousands of Hoosiers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. Unfortunately, it also left many workers unprotected. In Wabash County, we have the opportunity to make up for what the state smoke-free air law is lacking, to cover all public venues including bars and membership clubs. Our community cannot afford the health and econom-

ic burden of secondhand smoke – it costs our county $11,000,000 and 7 deaths a year. There is a mounting of public health benefits that comprehensive smoke-free air laws provides. Just last month, the city of Indianapolis reported a decline in heart attack hospital admissions by approximately 25 percent in the 5 years following its comprehensive smoke-free air ordinance. It is important that Wabash County leaders take the appropriate actions to protect more workers from secondhand smoke

How to submit letters to the editor The editorial staff of The Paper invites readers to submit letters to the editor on timely issues. To ensure fairness to everyone, we have established the following guidelines: Mailed and faxed letters must be signed. All submissions, including by e-mail, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. The editor reserves the right to edit letters for length, content and readability. Also, per the editor’s judgment, personal attacks, inflammatory statements and legally objectionable material will not be printed. The editor must also limit readers to submitting a maximum of two letters per month, regardless of whether previous letters have been published, due to space allotments in each weekly issue. Please limit all letters to 500 words or less.

so that we can also reap the health and economic benefits of smoke-free air. Secondhand smoke costs Indiana $2.1 billion dollars in excess medical expenses and premature loss of life, or about $328 dollars per person each year. The burden of these expenses is assumed by

businesses, government, and individual citizens. We have the opportunity to improve the quality of life for our community. Each community has authority and responsibility to develop stronger smoke-free air laws to protect

more local workers from secondhand smoke. It is important that you contact our local legislators to start working on a comprehensive law for our towns in Wabash County. – Dan Gray, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition director

An ongoing look at Wabash County 4-H 10-year members

School: Northfield Parents: Scott Angie Burcroff

Sam Burcroff &

Future Plans: Attend Huntington University to Major in Nursing 4-H Club: Lagro Speedy Clovers 4-H Projects: Foods, Food Preservation 4-H Grows Healthy Living: As a member in the 4H Foods Project, Sam has witnessed first hand ways that Indiana 4-H is working to grow the life skill of healthy living in 4-H members. “A few years ago, the foods project was revised to focus on healthy living. This was done by teaching 4-H members to substitute ingredients.” 4-H members are learning to use whole wheat flour, cook in smaller portions, add fruit puree to baked foods, and more. Sam believes that 4-H has taught him to live healthy more ways that just diet. “Healthy living also involves making positive choices. 4-H members learn to make choices when they choose what projects to take. 4-H also taught me what some of my interests are. I learned projects that I like and dislike and always had the option not to do a project again.” Many of the healthy living skills Sam has learned through 4-H can be transferred into his future career in nursing. He will be able to hold a job, live healthy and teach that skill to others. Ultimately, Sam joined 4-H to learn, and he did learn cooking. However, as he learned to cook with his grandma, he learned more than just the skill of cooking he learned about his family tree. “4-H helps grow family time.”

4-H Projects: Poultry, Goats, Foods, Garden 4-H Grows Healthy Living: For each 4-H project, there are learning activities that members complete in a manual. For many of Adreanna’s projects, these activities focused on healthy living. “In my garden project, the activities showed me healthy recipes and how to take food straight from garden and either make fresh dishes or create recipes with food from the garden.” A few years ago, Indiana 4-H adopted a new foods curriculum that taught 4-H members new, healthy options in the traditional baked foods project. Some were required to add healthy ingredients into recipes… even desserts. “Last year, I chose the project where I could research a disease that required a special diet. I chose to research Celiac’s disease because one of my relatives has that. I was able to learn about Celiac’s and bake a recipe for a cake that someone with Celiac’s could eat.” Even Adreanna’s 4-H livestock projects have helped her lead a healthier lifestyle. It requires responsibility to take care of animals but also helps her to clear her head, relax, and have fun while taking care of them. “4-H equals hard work and responsibility, but I have also learned time management which will help me manage stress and a healthy lifestyle in the future.”

4-H Club: Lagro Speedy Clovers 4-H Projects: Jr. Leaders, Photography, Make with a Mix 4-H Grows Healthy Living: As Catherine reflected on her 4-H tenure, she recalled ways that healthy living included not just being physically healthy but also mentally healthy. “Over the years, 4-H has provided me with many mentors and new friendships and relationships that I would not have without monthly meetings, group projects, Junior Leaders, Queen’s Court, and fair week. These relationships have kept me grounded, pushed me out of my comfort zone, provided people to fall back on, and always provided lots of laughs and memories that will stick with me for a long time. 4-H in general has pushed me to be the best version of myself that I can be, and it has given me a reason to get up off my couch and go do something fun and challenging!” One of those fun healthy events that Catherine participated in was the 4-H Color Me Green Run. She enjoyed this event, not just for the physical exercise, but because it gave 4-H members the opportunity to interact with other members from the community. In the future, the healthy living skills Catherine has grown through 4-H will help her balance the stress of college wihile finding ways to have fun at the same time.

The Urbana Lions are very thankful for all who contributed to this project and would be grateful for further donations to help us finish the project. Yet to do is to remove the cement and debris when the new septic system was installed, level and seed the area to the north of the restrooms, remove one

more old light pole and complete some rewiring, and hopefully put in a small play area in the corner behind home plate for little children who come to the games with their families.

MSD moves forward with Southwood well plans By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Southwood sewer system’s well will be refurbished this year following a discussion at the MSD of Wabash County Board of Education’s meeting Tuesday night, June 13. Since February, the board has explored options for updating the existing Southwood sanitary system, which runs between the high school and elementary school. While the system needs to be updated in its entirety, replacing a piece at a time may be

more cost effective and worthwhile in regards to time, according to Steve Holley, MSD maintenance and transportation supervisor. “Steve and I have talked a little bit and we feel like the refurbishing route is the way to go,” Chris Kuhn, MSD assistant superintendent of finance, told the board Tuesday. “We feel like this is something that we have needed for a while and we’re kind of a time frame of some degree to try and get this done this summer.” Refurbishing the

well will cost approximately $38,000 and save in comparison to the purchase of a new well, which would cost approximately $67,000, Kuhn told The Paper of Wabash County in May. A new well would also take longer to install. “One thing about refurbishing this well, we might not have to get IDEM (Indiana Department of Environmental Management) with this because we’re just replacing a pump for a pump,” Holley said. “So that would save us a lot of time. If we were

to go to a new well, it’s going to take us at least 60 days and we’d have to put a notice in the paper and do a bunch of other stuff, and that will put us into next year for sure. “But they’ve kind of assured us that this (current) well is in fair condition. We’ve got of plenty of water in there. We’ve just got to maintain it.” Board President Kevin Bowman asked if the board would be able to make a decision on the plan next month. “I don’t know if we need a decision, per

say,” Kuhn said. “We just kind of want to keep you informed of the direction that we were going.” “That’s fine,”

Bowman said. “So we don’t need to vote for spending those funds?” “No,” Kuhn replied. As per Indiana code, purchases less than

$50,000 by a governmental entity are regulated by only the purchasing policies of the governmental entity.

‘Greatest Show on Dirt’ By Bill Barrows

By the time that you read this, the College World Series finals will be in full swing. The CWS is the culmination of the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship tournament— featuring 64 teams in the first round—which determines the NCAA Division I college baseball champion. The eight participating teams are split into two, four-team, double-elimination brackets, with the winners of each bracket playing in a best-ofthree championship series. I had the privilege of attending this year’s festivities. Since 1950, the CWS has been held in Omaha, Neb. It was BILL held at Rosenblatt Stadium, on the south end of town from 1950 through 2010; starting in 2011, it has been held at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, which is a beautiful stadium that is part of the Omaha downtown revitalization project that is ongoing. “Ameritrade,” as the locals refer to it, is a site to see. The best way to describe it would be to say that it is a homey, modern ballpark steeped in tradition, yet affords the fans the chance to get up close and

really enjoy games almost like you would at a local high school game. ESPN broadcasts the entire tournament from start to finish and they have a huge presence in Omaha. The NCAA is criticized a lot over issues like amateur status, member school scandals, discipline to name a few, but they do a wonderful job putting on this early summer Midwest showcase. A friend is a media relations guru for the CWS and handles writers, TV types and social media services. He is outstanding at his craft. The people of Omaha are very friendly and they BARROWS are definitely a part of this show. I’m told that their volunteer force spans all ages. I spent some time talking to a retiree who has volunteered at the Series for several years. He has been an usher and an ambassador since the Rosenblatt days. A longtime baseball fan, he said he enjoys the people, loves talking to out-of-towners about the stadium and about Omaha. I spent a lot of time talking and observing the routine of the

facility director. He is in charge of the facility year around. The coordination of this effort is seamless. They have it down to a science. And I mean to the minute!!! There is a schedule posted in each dugout that outlines when the teams arrive, what time they are to stretch, take batting practice, take infield, when the grounds crew takes the field all the way to “the presentation of the colors”, the national anthem and the first pitch. I stood and watched on Sunday evening as the facilities director, standing a few feet away from me, talked to the umpires, then, instructed the ball girls, talked with a few dignitaries and then the head coaches. The coaches and players alike talk about how special that this event is and cherish it because it is a once in a lifetime journey. I was afforded field access and spent time observing the grounds crew and listening to them as they went about their routine meticulously. They left no detail untouched. ESPN had them install microphone in the turf around the plate, the mound and they had microphones inside the bases. Those were checked before each game and all issues were reported to the facilities director. The games were spectacular,

Bill Barrows at the NCAA baseball tourney in Omaha, Neb. Photo provided especially if you are a baseball nut like I am. They were a cross between a college football game and a beach party. There were chants by fans trying to change their team’s momentum with each and every one. There were beach balls, known as contraband to the ushers, being volleyed around the stands. As college students do, they did the wave, then, they did a slowmotion version, then a high speed version. The carnival atmosphere was really something to behold. The food was top notch. The regular fare of hot dogs, burgers cheese fries and popcorn, yes, they had them. But the Batter’s Box

Nachos were awesome. They had BBQ Pork, pulled buffalo chicken and brisket chili topped with cheese. Or how about the Bratwurst Burger topped with Oha-slaw, a cool concoction made with a signature salad dressing made in Omaha. My personal favorite was the Cuban Dog. ESPN’s Edwardo Perez, of Cuban decent raved about it! But the baseball was action packed and not without clutch hits and timely strikeouts. Eight of the best teams in the nation, playing a game in a place made just for this event. The CWS motto is “The Greatest Show On Dirt” and trust me, it is!

She was also heavily involved with her community during these years being an active member of such organizations as B.&P.W., Altrusa, Optimist Club, Toastmasters, Woman’s Clubhouse, and Order of the Eastern Star among others. She was especially proud of the fact that after being president of the Retail Division of the Wabash Chamber of Commerce, she was named the first woman president of the entire Chamber. She was also proud of the fact that she was involved with local Girl Scouts, first as a leader of active Brownie and Junior troops and then at the county and council levels. As the Wabash County Chair, Jo planned the first All-County Campout at Camp Kokiwanee, which was attended by nearly 300 Scouts from Wabash County. It was the largest number of Scouts ever hosted by the camp at one time. Jo parted with Sonda’s in 1976 and opened her own business, Wood’s Flower and Craft Hut, in 1978. Many tears were shed and hurdles overcome as Jo learned to paint first with oils, then other mediums and techniques as she continued creatively with flower arranging. When Jo’s husband, Richard (whom she married on Sept. 14, 1952, at the Wabash Presbyterian Church) retired, they traveled, and Jo retired as a florist. Jo and her husband traveled to the Caribbean islands and Alaska multiple times, but they also traveled to such places as Norway, England, Germany, Greece, Turkey, Brazil, Chili, Holland, Israel, China, and Russia; they even went zip-lining while in Costa Rica. Jo is survived by her daughter, Joyce (David) DeVore, Wabash; grandsons Michael (Tina) Bickford and David (Amy) Bickford and greatgranddaughters Arabella, Abigail and Emma, all of Florida. She was preceded in death by her husband Richard (Dick) Wood and her brother, John. Jo chose to not have any services, preferring to be remembered as she was in life. Her family asks that if anyone chooses to make a donation in her honor that contributions be made to the Wabash Woman’s Clubhouse for its Back Porch Fund, 770 W. Hill Street, Wabash IN 46992.

‘Blue Rain’ results in 99 arrests By The Paper staff Recently, a criminal interdiction patrol, organized by the Indiana State Police, resulted in seven police departments from north central Indiana, including the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, teaming up for three days to help stem the flow of illegal narcotics into Hoosier communities. From June 20 through June 22, officers teamed up to make 99 arrests on 186 different criminal charges. Thirty-two of the charges were classified as felonies. Officers also issued 111 traffic citations and 385 written warnings. During the three days, officers located cocaine, heroin, hundreds of hits of LSD, methamphetamine, marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, hash oil, edible marijuana food, and illegally possessed prescription medication. They also located an AR-15 assault style rifle which was allegedly in the possession of a convicted violent felon. All of the contraband was found during traffic stops made by the various police departments. In addition to the Indiana State Police and the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, officers from the Miami County Sheriff ’s Department, the Peru Police Department, the Fulton County failure to appear on theft charge and misdemeanor failure to appear on operating while intoxicated while never licensed.

Sheriff ’s Department, the Cass County Sheriff ’s Department and the Rochester Police Department utilized marked and unmarked police cars to conduct saturation patrols on U.S. 31 in Miami and Fulton counties. Patrol officers were augmented by canine officers utilizing narcotic detecting police dogs. Officers dubbed the unannounced three day patrol “Operation Blue Rain.” The goal was to catch and arrest individuals who utilize Indiana roadways to transport and distribute illegal narcotics. U.S. 31 was chosen because a large volume of motorists utilize the road to travel through the heart of northern Indiana. Officers wanted to serve notice that as the summer temperatures increase, so will their vigilance in keeping illegal narcotics from reaching Hoosier communities. Thirty-seven individuals were arrested in Fulton County while the remaining 62 were arrested in Miami County. “The team work demonstrated by the seven participating police agencies was outstanding,” stated Indiana State Police Sgt. Daniel Prus, who organized and oversaw the patrols. “I would like to thank the police chiefs and sheriffs who provided valuable resources to help stem the flow of illegal narcotics traveling through the

Enforcement patrols from seven area police agencies resulted in the arrests of 99 individuals and the confiscation of a variety of contraband, some of which is seen here, in Miami and Fulton counties.

New Indiana law aims to help pets left in cars By The Paper staff A new Indiana law will protect people who fear for the safety of pets left in hot cars following its implementation on July 1. Indiana House Bill 1085 states that if a citizen reasonably believes that a domestic animal is left in a vehicle and is in imminent danger of suffering serious bodily harm, the person

must do the following: 1. Determine if the vehicle is locked. 2. Call 9-1-1 or contact law enforcement. 3. Use no more force than reasonably necessary to enter the vehicle. 4. Remain with the animal until a first responder arrives on the scene. The new section of HB 1085 states that a person who forces entry into the vehicle

is responsible for 50 percent of the damage costs. The Wabash Police Department urges pet owners to be responsible in their actions, according to Cpt. Matt Benson, WPD public information officer. “If it is hot outside and you’re going to the store, leave your pet at home,” Benson said.

Former Bulldog Battery CFO sentenced to 2 years By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A Wabash man was sentenced on Monday, June 19, to two years in connection to a Bulldog Battery racketeering case. Thomas A. Wagner, 60, was sentenced to four years each for felony theft and felony insurance fraud with two years suspended with probation. Terms are to be served concurrently. In May, Wagner accepted a plea agreement and plead guilty to the two felonies. Seven other charges were dismissed on motion. The allegations in the case stemmed from Wagner’s time as Bulldog Battery’s chief financial officer

(CFO) before he was “let go” in June 2016, according to the probable cause affidavit. Following his termination, due to “concerning” company money transfers involving Wagner and his family, Bulldog Battery officials conducted an internal investigation and discovered Wagner had allegedly taken approximately

Manchester Main Street honors local residents, businesses NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester Main Street hosted a Volunteer Fair & Historic Preservation & Design Awards on Wednesday, May 31, at The Firehouse. More than 45 people attended, including both MMS members and interested public to learn about Manchester Main Street, a 501c3 organization that has been working hard to build a better community since 1989. The evening started with a Volunteer Fair at 7 p.m. with refreshments provided by Nordman’s Nook and the Main View. This was an opportunity to meet the board members and learn about the different committees and volunteer opportunities in North Manchester. Manchester Main Street’s six main committees and volunteer opportunities are America In Bloom (chair Susan

M a n w a r i n g ) ; E c o n o m i c Restructuring (chair Maribeth Callicoat), Historic Preservation & Design (chair Debbie Chinworth), Manchester PATH Group (chair Tim Brauch), North Manchester Garden Club, Promotion & Art, which includes the Eel River Arts Festival, the Holiday Gala and the monthly farmer’s market (chairs Brandi Chauncey & Michele Graham).The MMS Historic Preservation and Design committee presented the 2017 Third Annual Preservation Awards. One of the committee’s goals is to encourage quality design and good choices in improvements that are made to buildings in our town, while keeping the historic buildings true to their architectural style. As a way to recognize these efforts, HP&D began giving the

Preservation Awards in 2015. The awards are given to building owners or entities that have “made efforts to make North Manchester a more beautiful place to live.” This year’s Residential Award recipients were Colleen and Mike Trueblood, for their remodeling and restoration of two homes in town. In 2007 they began work on the Victorian house at 104 W. Second St., formerly Effie’s Tea Room. Most recently they renovated the craftsman house at 606 Bond St. Both of these homes had fallen into disrepair and the Truebloods did extensive work inside and out to restore them to their original beauty. The 2017 winner for a commercial building was given to the Town of North Manchester’s Water

Department for their repair and restoration of the Water Works building on Main Street. Under the direction of Superintendent Ryan Shock, the Water Department has worked for the past three years to update the property, removing two small sheds, repairing an outbuilding and three well houses, and restoring the main building. The Water Works building was built by C.E. Coon and Co., Upper Sandusky, Ohio, around. The town hired local contractors to do masonry repair, guttering and painting. The department staff, which includes Shock, Josh Kiger, Josh Naibauer and Dwight Basore, was able to do new lighting, wiring and insulating, as well as burying the utilities. Shock was pleased that they were able to utilize the skills and

talents of the group to keep costs down while making improvements that will help the facility last for many years to come. The improvements are both functionally sound and aesthetically pleasing. The Project Excellence goes to the M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society’s Center For History for its façade restoration. The restoration work was so costly that it couldn’t be included in the OCRA Façade Grant that helped the majority of downtown buildings get refurbished in 2014. In order to return its façade to an era to match the other downtown buildings, the Historical Society had to look for its own funding through grants and private donations to complete the project. The Center for History is in the former Oppenheim’s department store, which was housed in

three sections of buildings, built around 1873. In the 1970s a façade of white siding was added, making the three buildings appear to be one. In 2015, the Historical Society removed the siding, the false brick and the roof not knowing what they would find underneath. With the help of architects, contractors and many volunteers, they were able to restore the façade to its 1925 condition. Work included repairing the damaged terra cotta and granite pieces, using cultured stone and fiberglass elements, and installing new windows. The fundraising for this project included a $50,000 matching grant, an Efroymson Family Fund grant and a 25,000 Challenge grant. The Historical Society also sold pavers to go along the front of the building as a fundraiser.

Christine Flohr, Visit Wabash County’s executive director, was the keynote speaker. Flohr highlighted the growth and economic development in Wabash County over the years influenced by small groups, like MMS, working together with local government and business owners. Tourism and destination marketing has played a surprisingly big role in the county’s growth. Manchester Main Street marked its one year anniversary of its 501c3 status, and officials said look forward to continuing its support of the community. Those with questions about the organization are invited to call the MMS office at 260-901-6670, visit its website at www.ManchesterMai nStreet.org and follow it on Facebook.

Whitley County’s Robinson Lake holds big bass From the DNR

LARWILL – Many have heard the saying “Big things come in small packages.” Or is it, “Good things come in small packages”? For bass fishermen, both are true at Robinson Lake, a small natural lake in Whitley County north of Larwill. Despite covering only 59 acres, Robinson Lake holds more trophy-size largemouth bass than much larger lakes, according to DNR fisheries biologists. Recently, biologists surveyed the lake by electrofishing for 30 minutes. They cap-

tured more 18-inchand-larger bass at Robinson Lake than they have at any other area lake. “We caught 121 bass,” said Jed Pearson, DNR biologist. “Of those, 76 were 14 to 18 inches long, and eight bass were 18 inches and bigger.” Four were longer than 20 inches. “We’re lucky if we catch one bass that size during most surveys,” Pearson said. So what makes such a small lake so good for big bass? “First, we have a special rule in place to protect big bass from harvest,”

Pearson said. “Second, the lake is highly productive with lots of forage, including gizzard shad, suckers, bluegills and other fish bass love to eat.” Robinson Lake is one of only a handful of lakes where an 18inch minimum size limit and two-bass per day limit is in place. Most lakes have a 14inch minimum size limit. The rule has been in effect there since 1996 after the DNR purchased the lake and much of the adjoining property from the Boy Scouts. Known as the Deniston Resource

Area, named after a conservation officer killed in a plane crash, the lake and property is managed by the DNR divisions of Fish & Wildlife and Nature Preserves. Pearson added a third reason why Robinson Lake holds so many big bass. Fishermen release nearly all of the bass they catch there, even the big ones. “By doing so, that keeps them around to be caught again,” he said. “That’s a good thing at Robinson. Given the lake’s small size, overharvest of big bass is still possible if fishermen take out the big ones.”

Development Authority,” Callahan added. Since purchasing the Building in 2016, Marketplace has been developing plans to completely renovate the Old Bradley Building for use as affordable rental housing. “We are honored to receive this grant and very excited about this project,” WMI Executive Director Steve Downs said. “This will not only be a shot in the arm for our downtown, but also give us a chance to serve our community in a very special way. “We have been working on plans to save the Old Bradley Building for quite some time, and we are now getting really close to getting this project off of the ground.” Tentative plans call for eleven apartments in the building. “The present construction budget is approximately $1.8 million, and Marketplace has most of the money in place,” WMI Vice President Lisa Gilman said. “We have applied for a $200,000 grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, and should hear about that award in September. If we get that money, the project should be a go. If we don’t get that money, we will need to regroup.” In addition to the HOME Funds grant, Marketplace has received a $100,000 grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, a $200,000 façade grant from the City’s façade grant program through the Stellar designation, and has a commitment for the purchase of almost $300,000 of federal historic tax credits. Downs attributes the success of this project so far to his board of directors. “Their support and guidance have been invaluable,” he said. “We have all worked tirelessly on this project, and are thrilled to think that saving this historic old building is now becoming a reality.”

Wabash City Schools update high school, middle school student handbooks By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash City Schools Board of Education approved changes to the Wabash high school and middle school student handbooks Monday night, June 19. “The student handbook is a living document,” Jeff Galley, WHS assistant principal, said. “It’s changed, it’s morphing, it represents the times that it exists in. So every year, we take a look at it and realize ‘We need to change this,’ ‘We need to come to reality with this’ and ‘Maybe we don’t necessarily need this any more.’” Changes to the handbooks included updating the academic dishonestly and cheating policy, removing the transfer of credit policy from non-accredited private schools and modernizing some of the books’ language. However, the change of biggest note for Galley and WMS Assistant Principal Laura Sigler was dress code. “Dress codes are always changing,” Sigler told the board. “Mr. (Mike) Mattern and I, Mr. (Randy) LePage and Mrs. (Amy) LePage, the guidance counselors, always have conversations about this because it’s a really fine line between we need to help kids dress professionally because this (school) is their job, but we also have to be mindful of is this really worth a huge discipline or a big fight or a big blowup over? “I always look at is it disrupting the educational process? If it’s not disrupting the educational process, why we knocking our

heads against it? So we made just a few changes and categories.” The middle school’s dress code policy now states that “shorts, skirts, split skirts, and/or dresses must adequately cover the entire buttocks and upper thigh area. Wabash Middle School administrators will have the discretion of determining if shorts/skirts are long enough as to not distract from the education process. … It is important to note that clothing must be sufficient to conceal all undergarments and cleavage.” The policy also reimplemented the no pajama pants allowed clause. The high school is also following suit with updating its dress code policy. “I love the middle school because they’re always kind of the test subject for the year and then the high school follows a year after,” Galley said. “It makes life a lot easier sometimes. We are adopting the middle school dress code in regards to clothing with low necklines and sleeveless attire, and then we also added what we call the “no tug” rule. If you have to tug on clothing to keep it in place, you probably shouldn’t be wearing it to school.” The high school’s policy now states “clothing with low necklines or clothing that is sheer, backless, strapless or baremidriff in design is not permitted. Tank tops and spaghetti strap tops are not allowed for any students. Sleeveless tops must cover the entire shoulder (at least 3 inches width) and be tailored around the arm and armpit, i.e. “cover” the under-

arm. “Shirt neck lines must not be lower than 3.5 inches below the point where the collarbone meets the neck. It is important to note that clothing must be sufficient to conceal all undergarments. No cutoff clothing will be allowed.” In other news, the board also adopted a resolution to distribute monthly Local Income Tax (LIT) funds of $8,579.67 to Debt Service, Capital

Projects Fund, Transportation and Bus Replacement. “LIT is a new term for money that we used to get that was DRTC money,” Matt Stone, WCS chief business officer, said. “This is how it was distributed in the past. The policy now is that you’re supposed to put your LIT money in the general fund. “Well you have the ability to put it in the other tax funds as long as you have an

312 Chestnut Street • Wabash

award resolution, and that’s why we’re asking you to pass it. We certainly need this money in these other tax funds because of tax caps.” The board unanimously approved the resolution, which will distribute the monthly funds of $2,813.09 into Debt Service, $2,77.50 into Capital Projects Fund, $2,310.55 into Transportation and $678.58 into Bus Replacement.
