The Paper intern spends week in Cuba By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com A few months ago when I discovered I was going to have the chance to visit Cuba, I gave myself a small history lesson to prepare. It is no secret that Cuban and U.S. relations have been anything but cooperative for the last 5o-plus years. The connection goes back as far as the Spanish-American War, when Cuba broke away from Spain. The Cuban government did this successfully, along with the United States’ assistance, which resulted in the U.S. gaining control of part of Cuba’s land and water, using it as an American Naval base, the 45 square mile area known as Guantanamo Bay (GTMO). This piece of land that the U.S. possesses is a large factor in the issues between Cuba and the United States. Cuba, simply put, wants its land back.

The Wabash County Democrat Party has appointed Donald Rose to run as an at-large candidate for the Wabash County Council in the Nov. 8 General Election. He is replacing David Monroe who filed for the office, but withdrew prior to the May 3 Primary Election. Monroe’s name still appeared on the ballot because he withdrew after the ballots had been printed. “I’ve lived here since I’ve been about 15,” Rose told The Paper of Wabash County in a telephone interview. “The last three years I’ve been very active in Howard County. I am a UAW member and I work for Chrysler.” He said he’s been with the political action branch of the union. “I’ve been working (in Howard County),” he continued. “I’ve worked in the mayor’s race, the governor’s race a few years ago, and had been working politically over there. “I started getting involved with the Democrat Party here as well. Since it’s (continued on page 17)

This online system allows for broader coverage across the state and greater participation from the public. The surveys provide useful estimates about annual production by hens and the
survival of poults through the summer brood-rearing period. Summer brood survival is generally the primary factor influencing wild turkey population trends. Information on summer brood survival is essential for sound turkey management. Information gathered through the brood survey includes: — Average brood sizes (total number of hens and total number of poults) — Percentage of adult hens with poults — Overall num-
bers of turkeys seen. — Participants will be asked to report: — Number of turkeys seen and the county the observation was made — Sex and relative age (adult or poult) of the birds — A brood sighting is one in which is one or more hens with poults — Adult hens without young — Sightings of gobblers or gobbler groups. The survey, and additional information, is at wildlife.IN.gov/8641. htm.

An ongoing look at Wabash County 4-H 10-year members
Lexus Biehl School: Northfield Parents: Jeff & Renee Biehl Future Plans: Attend the Merchant Marine Academy in New York for Systems Engineering with plans to become a Nuclear Engineer 4-H Club: Tip Top 4-H Projects: Dog & Goats 4-H Grows Confidence: “4-H is great to help youth build confidence. 4-H members who show livestock must have confidence to stand in front of a crowd with an animal that may or may not listen and do what it has been trained to do.” Lexus stated that when she started 4-H as a third grader, she was scared and had no clue what to do. Each year she was in 4-H, she gained confidence in herself. “When you stand in front of an arena full of people and are judged based not on your own actions but that of an animal, you gain confidence.” Lexus believes that 4H has made her more confident in her abilities even as a graduate. She has a better understanding of what she is good at and how to put herself out there to get the opportunities she wants. Lexus concluded by stating that 4-H is a great program to join because not only do you gain confidence but you also become more responsible, meet new people and be a part of the community.
Bailey Lundmark School: Southwood Parents: Missy Lundmark & Eric Lundmark Future Plans: Attend Ball State University to study Criminal Justice & Psychology to become a probation officer (hopefully in Wabash) 4-H Club: Crimson Clovers 4-H Projects: Gift Wrapping & Photography 4-H Grows Confidence: Bailey explained how she has gained confidence through nonlivestock projects such as health and gift wrapping. “When I was in 4th grade, my health project received a blue ribbon and was selected to go to State Fair. Even though it didn’t win at state, it was a great experience that gave me reassurance that my hard work and efforts were noticed.” Bailey recalled other times that she won Champion & Reserve Champion for projects. She explained that it is always a great confidence booster to win, but losing also gives you opportunities as well. She stated, “You learn to better yourself and to try harder the next time. I even learned to think outside of the box and to become more creative.” Bailey admitted that she has never had a strong competitive spirit, but that 4-H has allowed her to experience the satisfaction that comes with winning. This will give her confidence to try new things in college that she may have otherwise shied away from.
Eli Schuler School: Northfield Parents: Scott & Kelly Schuler Future Plans: Attend Purdue University to study Ag Business and Economics with plans to farm in Wabash County 4-H Club: Ribbon Reapers 4-H Projects: Swine & Beef 4-H Grows Confidence: Eli believes that 4-H is a great program for teaching youth to have confidence. “In 4-H Clubs, you do demonstrations. You gain confidence by talking in front of groups. My public speaking skills have grown through this opportunity. Now when I need to speak in front of a group, I am not nervous because of the practice I have had through my 4-H club.” Eli also recalled the confidence he gained through his work with showing livestock. Eli recalled how scary it was as a young 4-H member to lead a 1200 pound steer into the show ring. By working hard and spending time to train the animal, he built the confidence needed to be successful in the ring. As part of 4-H, Eli has also learned to be confident in his role as a member of the Wabash Community. At the fair, we all come together to set-up & clean-up. The fair creates a sense of community where people can come together, learn about agriculture and where food comes from, and see that there is a 4-H project for everyone.
Jacob Terrell School: Northfield Parents: Eric & Jennie Terrell Future Plans: Study Business Marketing at IPFW to be a real estate agent and eventually own Terrell Realty 4-H Club: Ribbon Reapers 4-H Projects: Model Cars & Swine 4-H Grows Confidence: Jacob gained confidence through his 4-H livestock show experiences. “Being in an arena in front of several hundred people helps you get used to being watched and judged.” Through the judging experiences, both positive and negative, Jacob has learned that the prep work he puts in before a show can help affect the outcome. His experiences with 4-H livestock have given him the confidence to shape and make his animals look the way he wants. He does this by adjusting their feed and exercise to make them look and judge a different way; all of which requires planning before the fair. The same principles apply in other aspects of life as well. Planning and preparation ahead of time, will always give you more confidence. “If you attend the fair this year, you can watch confidence coming out of the woodwork, 4-H brings it out in everyone there.” Jacob believes that the confidence gained through 10 years of 4H will help him be more successful when he becomes a real estate agent. “I will be able to speak with clients and sell with confidence.”
Indiana Historical Society (IHS). The first-ever grants are designed to help mark the state’s Bicentennial.. The museum is receiving a $3,537 to improve its archival storage. Museum officials say the project will make the space a safer environment for its collections, which include 75,000 items, and for researchers. In the short term, the museum will be repairing ceiling tiles and air vents, but the project is also preparing the organization for the future. “Once this project is complete, the museum can turn its attention toward digitizing archives and making its collections available online and on new in-house media,” said Mitch Figert, the museum’s executive director. The Wabash County Historical Museum is one of 25 organizations recognized with
the first round of Heritage Support Grants, made possible by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. Grant funds from the Endowment are allowing IHS to award a total of $2.5 million to organizations across Indiana, in at least five cycles through 2019. In addition to funding, organizations that apply for grants will receive unique access to coaching on grant writing and individual projects. IHS is also organizing fundraising workshops led by its experienced Local History Services (LHS) staff. “The role of our local history heroes cannot be overstated,” said John A. Herbst, IHS president and CEO. “IHS estimates more than 900 Indiana organizations hold collections that total more than 20 million historical objects and 424,000 feet of historical documents. We are
proud to support their work in communities across Indiana.” There is still time for organizations to apply for the next cycle of Heritage Support Grants, but the deadline is fast approaching. Proposals for smaller awards of $500 to $999 are due July 1, 2016. Summary of Proposals for larger grants, $1,000 to $50,000, are also due July 1. Eligible organizations must be incorporated as nonprofits in the state of Indiana. Organizations should be history related or propose a project that is clearly history focused. Annual budgets must be less than $300,000. Guidelines and applications are available at www.indianahistory.org/grants . Organizations looking for more information can also call IHS at 317-232-1882.

State, international visitors tour local farms By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Visitors from around the world converged in Wabash County on Wednesday, June 22, for the annual Indiana Horticultural Society’s summer meeting. The gathering began at Doud’s Countyline Orchard where the group spent most of the morning learning about David and Valerie Doud’s orchard, which has been in operation for about 30 years. Following a lunch at the orchard, the group spent time at the Cordes Berry Farm, the Metzger Farm, RiverRidge Farm before ending at the Hawkins Family Farm. Most of the nearly 50 visitors were from around Indiana. However, a contingent of international students from Purdue University brought people in from Iran, Turkey, China, Egypt, Ecuador and India to learn about the various planting practices the featured farms use at their respective site. The Douds have 30 acres on which they produce apples (15 acres), pears (three acres), peaches (three acres) and strawberries (three acres). “I’ve been a minimalist on this out of necessity because there’s not been a lot of capital to build on this,” Doud told his visitors before leading them on a tour around the orchard. “But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’ve got a relatively new – 3-year-old – 14 by 16 walk-in cooler that runs really nicely.” Around Sept. 1, he said, he cleans up his workshop, turns the cooler on and uses the space as a place to sell his produce. “About a third of (the apples) go out this front door, here,” he said. “About a third goes out through small, wholesale pickup trucks that sell bins of apples here and bins of apples there, and about a third of them go to farmer’s markets.” He said his business is made up mostly of local customers, noting that Fort Wayne and Indianapolis are too far away of him to benefit from them.

Doud said the strawberry season ended on Saturday, and that varieties of Asian pears have benefitted operation. “The Bartletts, Magness and such, I’ve lost money on them ever since I’ve had them,” he said, noting that Korean Giants have the size, quality and keep ability to be profitable. Korean Giants ripen in early October and can keep past Christmas. Doud conducted a field tour, showing off the pear and apple trees and what was left of the strawberry fields. Following lunch, the group went to the Cordes Berry Farm, which is in its third season of planting blackberries on 10
acres of land. From there it traveled to the Metzger Farm, which produces peaches, blueberries and strawberries. The RiverRidge Farm, owned by Nathan and Diane Fingerle, was the next stop. Fingerle demonstrated how innovative approaches can be beneficial on small tracts of land. The couple, which owns three acres of land near Laketon, farms just an acre and a half. There are three 30 foot by 90 foot high tunnels in which he raises crops, as well as a starter greenhouse “and we’ve got stuff stuck everywhere else,” he noted. Fingerle also demonstrated what he
called “scale-driven technology.” “On my acre and a half, I’d be a fool to have a 100 horsepower tractor,” he told the visitors. “Conversely, a guy who farms 500 to 1,000 acres would be a fool to use a BCS walking tractor-tiller like I do.” He also demonstrated a weeder used in non-crop areas and a seeder he uses on the farm. “One of my seeders is a Swiss-made seeder,” Fingerle said. “It’s very much like the technology that a large-scale farm would use, but it’s scaled down for an acre and a half plot base.” The Hawkins Family Farm in North Manchester was the final stop of

the tour. “We’re fortunate to have a fair amount of ground,” Jeff Hawkins said. “We’re the opposite of Nate (Fingerle). He does everything as intensively as possible. We’re at the other end of the spectrum. The Hawkinses farm 99 acres raising both livestock and crops and are a CSA farm. CSA farms, known as a Community-supported agriculture or c o m m u n i t y - s h a re d agriculture farms, are an alternative, locally based economic model of agriculture and food distribution. A CSA also refers to a particular network, or association of individuals, who have pledged to support
one or more local farms, with growers and consumers sharing the risks and benefits of food production. CSA members, or subscribers, pay at the onset of the growing season for a share
of the anticipated harvest; once harvesting begins, they periodically receive shares of produce. In addition to produce, some CSA services may include additional farm products like (continued on page 12)

Ivy Tech move takes place Friday By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Ivy Tech Community College’s Wabash campus is in its waning days of being associated with the college’s Kokomo Region. Beginning Friday, it is moving to the Northeast Region. The move was approved by the college’s Board of Trustees in May. Wabash County has been part of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership since 2007, and the move was made to
align economic development partners with education partners. Dr. Jerrilee Mosier, chancellor of the Northeast Region, believes the move will benefit the local campus. “Wabash is connected through the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, which really encompasses most of the Fort Wayne Region’s counties,” she told The Paper of Wabash County on Friday, June 24. “So the ability to leverage around activities with the Northeast Indiana Regional
Partnership, like the Big Goal Initiative. “From our understanding, many people look to Fort Wayne as that path to go shopping and retail. We just want to help build the relationship that’s there through economic development and the workforce board.” The transition from the Lafayette/Kokomo Region to the Northeast Region has been going smoothly, she said. “Kokomo has identified people in the finance area and the facilities area to work with our people,” she
said. “We’ve kind of done bits and pieces. We’ve established whose responsible and for what. “We hope to have that solidified and ready to roll by July 1.” Northeast Region officials have been meeting with Pamella Guthrie, the Wabash campus director, throughout the transition process. “We hope (the transition) is going to be smooth and we won’t skip a beat,” Mosier said. “That’s the plan.” Kelly Karickhoff, executive director of the Ivy Tech

President Jerry Chandler was among those on the tour. The society has been around for about 150 years, dating back to the late 1800s. “These folks would meet and talk about all kinds of issues that impacted what we call specialty
crops today,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “Back in those days every farm had an orchard. There would be a few trees, maybe 10, 20, 30 or 40. “As everything has gone more mechanical, everything is done from the tractor seat. Not may people
want to work that hard. This has become specialized.” The group has two meetings per year – a weeklong conference in January, and a daylong farm tour during the summer. “We try to rotate around the state,” Chandler said. “We
usually try to go to the northern third of the state one year, the central third another year and the southern third another year.” Farmers suffered a major setback in 2012 during spring freeze, he reminded. “We lost everything,” Chandler said.
“We have 4,000 trees, and we only had two apples out of those 4,000 trees. “It hurt a lot of growers. It takes a couple of years to come back from something like that.” But, he said, there is a growing interest in specialty grown
crops. One reason, he said is because specialty grown crops are generally healthier, and consumers can get items close to where they live. “It’s coming back,” he said of specialty farms.

Ivy Tech, Learn More Center receive grants between $70,000 and $80,000 to adult education since 2003. Ivy Tech, over the years, has received just less than $600,000, while The Learn More Center has received $362,000.

Ivy Tech Community College’s Wabash campus and the Learn More Center each received grants on Friday, June 24, from the Pauline Barker Education Trust. Ivy Tech received $34,488 to fun training for local works who aim to improve their technical skills for career advancement. The Learn More Center received $32,380 to support its adult education programs in Wabash County. “I’d like to thank Pauline J. Barker for having the foresight for setting this trust up,” said Pamella Guthrie, Wabash campus site director. “When you think about how long ago she did this, that really was farsighted on her part. “We know it now
because we here it constantly about how important Ivy Tech is to the economic development of the state, how we need more skilled workers and that sort of thing. But she was able to look ahead and think about adult education in Wabash County and how much it is needed.” Julie Garber, program director from the Community Foundation of Wabash County and a Learn More Center board member, was curious to learn more about Barker. “We have an
endowment established by her, but I don’t know that much about her as a person,” she said. Hal Job, former president of First Merchants Bank, helped Barker set up the trust. She is the former manager of the Rock City Café, he said. “She had a boyfriend, and after he died, it was discovered he had land that went to her,” Job said. “The land was in Florida, where Disney World is now, but it wasn’t on the map when he bought it.”
Barker and local attorney Chuck Tiede devised a plan to create the trust fund. “She thought folks of middle age, when they lost their jobs and such, needed help getting jobs,” Job said. “If the people who came to her café had more education, they would better off. So she and Chuck set this up. “This has been wonderful. It is a good thing. The Learn More Center and Ivy Tech have benefited greatly.” Job noted that the trust has contributed
Over the last three years at Ivy Tech, 36 students received training through the grant in industrial electricity, machine tool and welding. Of those, 11 have received a Certificate
of Technology in Industrial Electricity. Since 2010, Barker funds have supported 85 students in receiving a high school equivalency diploma.

$1 million Harvey Industries lawsuit dismissed By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
The $1 million class action lawsuit against Harvey Industries has been d i s m i s s e d . Permanently. On Friday, June 17, both parties in Anthony Cicatko, Jr. v. Harvey Industries case agreed to “dismiss with prejudice,” permanently barring the plaintiffs from filing another case with the same claim, as a result of a final ruling from another lawsuit against the company. On March 29, Honorable Judge Robert H. Cleland, of Michigan, issued an order in the case of Callidus Capital Corporation v. Harvey Industries, barring all claims against Harvey Industries’s assets in the U.S. District Court for Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, according the March 29 court order. The local lawsuit against the firm began in early 2015 after Harvey I n d u s t r i e s announced the layoff of 143 employees on Jan. 2, 2015, due to “unforeseeable business circumstances,” namely the loss of two large contracts with General Motors and Modine. Cicatko filed the lawsuit individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated. The lawsuit claimed that the firm failed to comply with the Worker Adjustment and R e t a i n i n g Notification (WARN) Act, which requires companies to provide workers 60 days notice of an impending mass layoff or plant closing. The plaintiffs, represented by Christopher Wolcott and Philip J. Gibbons Jr. of Gibbons Legal Group, P.C. based in Indianapolis, sought damages in the amount of 60 days’ pay and Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) benefits, totaling in more than $1 million. Court documents also indicated that 50 employees were laid off on Dec. 19, 2014, and told in a letter
that layoffs were permanent. These employees were later included in a notice sent to the Department of W o r k f o r c e Development as part of the 143 employees laid off on Dec. 31, which stated that call backs were expected. Officials from Harvey Industries, which is represented by Steve Downs and Mark Frantz of Tiede, Metz & Downs, Tandy & Petruniw P.C. based in Wabash, argued that the company was compliant with the WARN Act and provided proper notice when it was forced to layoff employees, Mark said in a statement to The Paper of Wabash County. In February 2015, Callidus Capital
Corporation issued a lawsuit against the firm after Harvey Industries defaulted on a loan agreement that it had entered with the company amounting in $38,897,960.38, according to court documents. The rulings of the case appointed a receiver to assume custody of all Harvey Industries property, including the Wabash plant. The receiver, Steven R. Wybo of Conway Mackenize Inc., then sold the property as collateral to repay the Harvey Industries’ financial obligations. The local plant was sold and renamed Wabash Castings, Inc., in November 2015. Following the termination of the receivership, as part
of the Michigan court order, “all persons and entities which may have held, or which currently hold, claims
against the Defendants (Harvey Industries) and/or the assets of the Defendants are forever barred (and)
estopped,” according to the order. Frantz told The Paper he was pleased with the result of the ruling.
“Under the circumstances, dismissal was appropriate,” he said.

ISP solves cold case bank robbery By The Paper staff W e d n e s d a y evening, a cold case bank robbery investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Josh Maller resulted in the arrest of William Stinemetz, 52, Palm City, Fla. Indiana State Trooper Jessie Reason served Stinemetz with a Miami Circuit Court arrest warrant alleging a felony charge for robbery with a deadly weapon. The warrant was served at the Fulton County Jail where Stinemetz is currently incarcerated on criminal
charges stemming from Fulton County. On Dec. 18, 1997, at approximately 3:37 p.m., police officers responded to an active hold up alarm at the First Farmers Bank and Trust located on 101 Main St., Amboy. When officers arrived, the suspect had already exited the bank. A subsequent search of the area did not reveal the suspect who had escaped with United States’ currency. The initial investigation by detectives from the Indiana State Police revealed that a white male approximately 5-feed,
9-inches tall, weighing approximately 200 pounds, with brown hair entered the bank and indicated he had a handgun. He allegedly demanded money from a bank teller. The teller complied with the request and the man exited the bank and purportedly ran to a vehicle. The suspect was last seen wearing gold tinted glasses, a blue bib snow suit, and a brown sock cap. Despite efforts by detectives from the Indiana State Police to identify the bank robbery suspect, the case went stale. Evidence which had
been collected during the initial phase of the investigations was submitted to an Indiana State Police Laboratory for DNA analysis. The results were entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). A subsequent search of CODIS revealed an alleged match to Stinemetz. The DNA evidence and previous evidence gathered during the investigation, led to officers presenting enough probable cause to obtain an arrest warrant for Stinemetz.

Third arrested in connection to LaFontaine burglary By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A Matthews man was arrested Tuesday, June 21, in connection to a Jan. 24 burglary of a LaFontaine home. Morgan P. King, 36, was charged with felony burglary, felony conspiracy to commit burglary and misdemeanor theft of less than $750 following a five-month Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department investigation. Shane W. McCray, 27, and Matthew D. Auler, 28, both of LaFontaine, were arrested on similar charges earlier this year in connection to the burglary. In January, officers responded to a
MORGAN KING Branson Street residence in LaFontaine after receiving a report of burglary, according to the probable cause affidavit. The home’s sole occupant told officers that she arrived home from a short vacation to find her home burglarized and several items stolen, including a laptop, the court doc-
uments continued. On Jan. 28, Det. Sgt. Michael Davis received a report that, prior to the burglary, anti-theft tracking software was installed on the victim’s laptop and traced to a residence in the 100 block of North Wabash Street in LaFontaine, according to the affidavit. Officers identified the location as McCray’s residence and executed a search warrant on Jan. 28 at the home to retrieve the stolen items, the documents continued. Auler was arrested on April 8 for the burglary charges while McCray was booked into the Wabash County Jail on Saturday, June 11.

Richard Simpson. “He advised that a male subject was walking down the middle of State Road 15, near the old Chippewa shop, southbound,” Chief Deputy Randy Miller stated in the affidavit. “Mr. Simpson then stated that he stopped his car and the male subject ran toward his car and did a front flip on the front window shattering it.” Pinkerton then laid on the vehicle for approximately two to four minutes before getting off and running toward the golf course, Miller continued. Miller estimated the vehicle’s damage to be approximately $1,000, according to court documents. Another witness at the scene told officers that he had followed Pinkerton to the golf course, then to Bickford Cottage and into the woods after calling 9-1-1 to report the incident, the documents continued. Officers located Pinkerton and transported him to Parkview Wabash Hospital Emergency Room to be medically cleared to be emergency detained, according to the affidavit. On Saturday, June 18, Pinkerton was released from the hospital.

The Paper intern spends week in Cuba... continued from the front page America to reply with immediate economic retaliation. This started with cutting off all Cuban sugar imports, which lead to a ban on nearly all exports to Cuba. President John F. Kennedy then expanded the restrictions even more to a complete economic embargo, including strict travel laws. These restrictions didn’t allow anyone except journalists, academics, government officials, those with immediate family members living on the island, and others licensed by the Treasury Department to travel to Cuba. President Barack Obama made it a goal promptly after being inaugurated into office to improve relations with Cuba. In 2009, the U.S. loosened some of the restrictions on remittances and travel. It also allowed American telecommunications companies to provide greater cellular and satellite services in Cuba and permitted American citizens to send money to nonfamily members there and travel to the island for educational or religious purposes. In 2011, the travel rules were adjusted again to allow all Americans to visit Cuba, so long as they were taking part in a “people-to-people” tour. Further increasing relation qualities, Obama and Castro swapped prisoners in 2014. The U.S. released the three remaining “Cuban Five,” Cuban intelligence officers, in exchange for Rolando Sarraff Trujillo, a Cuban intelligence officer who was working as a U.S. spy. He was captured in Havana and held there for 20 years. Following this trade, in July 2015, Obama and Castro restored full diplomatic ties for the first time in over 50 years. In 2015-16, travel restrictions were changed again and allowed all U.S. citizens to travel individually to Cuba for authorized reasons without having to get approval from the U.S. State Department. Because this modification was made so recently, not an abundant amount of Americans have actually traveled to Cuba. Though the reason
for my trip was to visit someone in the military who is stationed at Guantanamo Bay, I was still lucky to travel there and learn more about the history of Cuba, as well as about some of the current goings-on and tidbits about Guantanamo Bay. I was never a huge fan of history classes, so while I was aware of the bad relations between Cuba and America and knew the basics of why they didn’t get along, I never really got into the depths of the matter nor did I ever strive to know more about it outside of class lessons. However, I also never expected to be traveling there. By the time I got to GTMO, I regretted not researching more about the world I’m living in, but was glad that I then got to learn it all first-hand in Cuba itself. Arriving in Cuba Upon arrival at Cuba, we were immediately sent to turn in our pre-approved forms proving that we were allowed to be on the military base. I was among both new military arrivals as well as visitors. We continued, next, to the boat dock to load onto the ferry that

would take us across the bay to Guantanamo. When we completed our journey across the water, there was a load of people waiting to get on the ferry we were about to exit and take it to where we had just come from. The ferry’s sole purpose is to take people (and vehicles) to and from Guantanamo Bay. The boat runs back and forth from opposite sides of the bay for two hours at a time, taking a one hour
break every third hour. There are always new arrivals coming and old arrivals leaving, so the ferry is an essential piece of transportation every day of the week. For families and people coming to visit, the base provides cars that the military personnel can rent for them during their time on the island. As I and the other four people that I went to Cuba with took the car and headed toward one of the hotels where

visitors stay, we were warned to not drive too fast. It took us awhile to find a speed limit sign, but when we did we understood why they were so sure to warn us to be conscious of our speed. This is because the speed limit on almost the entire GTMO base is 20-25 mph. Going from driving on the highway to the airport, and then traveling via plane and boat, made it hard at first to keep our feet a little looser on the gas pedal. Everyone who drives there is so disciplined about staying within the 20-25 mph limit that it felt like were crawling down the road most of the time. The drivers there were also much more disciplined on stopping for pedestrians when they cross the street. It is a rule here that pedestrians have the right-of-way, however, a lot of cars keep driving down the road and

Area police operation results in 64 arrests, 134 drug related charges Wabash County officers participate Operation Blue Thunder By The Paper staff A recent area police operation has resulted in 64 arrests on 134 drug related charges, Indiana State Police officials announced Sunday, June 26. From June 22 through June 24, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department teamed up with seven other police departments in north central Indiana to execute “Operation Blue Thunder,” an unannounced three days of patrols that helped stem the flow of illegal narcotics into local communities. Officers from the Indiana State Police, the Miami County Sheriff ’s Department, the Logansport Police Department, the Peru Police Department, the Fulton County Sheriff ’s Department, the Cass County Sheriff ’s Department,
the Rochester Police Department and Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department utilized marked and unmarked police vehicles to conduct saturation patrols on U.S. 31 in Miami and Fulton Counties. Patrol officers were augmented by K-9 officers who were utilizing narcotic-detecting police dogs. The operation’s objective was to catch and arrest individuals who use Indiana roadways to transport and distribute illegal narcotics. Officers focused on U.S. 31 because a large volume of motorists utilize the road to travel throughout northern Indiana. Officers made 64 criminal arrests on 134 different drug charges with 18 of the charges classified as felonies. Officers also issued 102 traffic citations and 268 written warnings. There was also one driving while impaired arrest. During the three days, officers located cocaine, heroin, LSD,
m e t h a m p h e t a m i n e, marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, edible marijuana food and prescription medication. They also located drug paraphernalia. All contraband was found during traffic stops made by the various police departments. “As the summer kicks off, we want to send a message that Indiana roads are closed to those who transport illegal drugs,” said ISP Sgt. Daniel Prus, who organized and oversaw the patrols. “Indiana police officers will utilize all of the resources at their disposal to catch and arrest the few who transport illegal drugs.” Citizens are encouraged to call their local law enforcement agencies with any information about the possession, distribution or selling of illegal narcotics. Information can also be reported anonymously by calling the Indiana State Police Drug and Gang Hotline 1-800-453-4756.

The Paper intern spends week in Cuba... continued from page 23 not even look to see if cars are coming. They just start walking right across the street, not worried at all that someone will not stop. That definitely took some getting used to during the 10 days that we were there. Accommodations in Cuba While we did stay in a hotel for the majority of our time there, the first night of the trip we stayed at a local couple’s home because our room was not available yet. The couple, Jessie and Bill, who are both originally from the United States, own the only scuba dive shop located in the area and have lived in Guantanamo Bay for more than 20 years. Scuba diving is a huge hobby in GTMO, both because they are surrounded by beautiful waters and because the base is small and therefore has limited activities, especially for people that are there for multiple years. Therefore, the dive shop is constantly busy and because of this, Jessie and Bill know almost everyone in Guantanamo Bay. Life at GTMO The base was similar to Wabash in the sense that it was small and therefore I saw a lot of the same people as I got a pattern of places that I went and quickly became familiar to almost everyone I saw, especially people who worked in the stores or in one of the very few restaurants that they have. It really felt like a little community in most of the places that we went. The grocery store, “The Nex”, had a little bit of everything (it had to since it was the only main store on the base), from groceries to clothes to sunscreen to Victoria’s Secret body spray to a Subway to a souvenir shop. Needless to say, we visited “The Nex” everyday for everything we needed since our hotel room had a kitchen it in and we could cook our own food. Not all of the military personnel stationed in Guantanamo Bay have the fortune of having access to a kitchen, unless they are lucky enough to get assigned to a house, which includes having roommates. Others stay in an assigned
housing area with other soldiers, each having a single room that is a little smaller than an average sized dorm room and have a conjoining bathroom with their neighbor. These rooms have air conditioning, a fridge, a sink, a bed, cabinets, and TV space - all the essentials plus a little more. All soldiers, no matter what housing they are assigned to, have access to a chow hall where most of them eat almost all of their meals. Civilians can also eat there for $5 per person. ‘9/11 Five’ trials On one of the first days on the island, we learned that we were visiting Cuba during the same time that the “9/11 Five” trials were taking place. The five main terrorists behind the 9/11 attacks are detainees at Guantanamo Bay and were having trials that week addressing issues that they had with how the U.S. military were handling them. One detainee believed that the female guards should not be allowed to touch them because that is how it would be in their own country. Another claimed that he was constantly feeling vibrations throughout his whole body and that the Americans were somehow responsible for it. Complaints like these continue to pour into the system and must be filed and addressed in court. When these trials happen, the detainees are moved from the Camp 7 prison, where the worst of the worst are kept, to portable holding cells within the gated area where the courtroom building is located. There are five white, small, rectangular cells that sit in a line and look like miniature, covered trailers. It was eerie to look at and even more eerie to step into. During a tour of the court room and the surrounding area, I got to go inside the portable holding cell that belonged to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. The inside was painted light yellow, and was cold to touch, with a small open area and a bench in the front, and a steel toilet
and cot in the back, a metal gate separating the two. The front area was there so that the detainee’s lawyers could come in to speak with them before or after the trials. There were no windows on the cell side of the trailer, but it had air conditioning. There was a tiny, green arrow painted on the floor for the prisoners, pointed toward the
East (the direction that their religion requires them to pray to). Going inside of the cell, my body and mind quivered. I felt like an animal. I felt like completely shutting down because I couldn’t imagine doing something so horrific that you must be caged in area not even big enough for some horses, not because you are being tortured, but because you cannot be
trusted to have space to roam or even to look outside. It chilled me to my core to stand in the cell and touch the same surfaces that KSM touched. I wasn’t there for any more than a few minutes, yet when I left I felt so much more free and relieved just to be out of it. GTMO court room The court room was not exactly what I expected.
I’m not positive what I thought it would look like, but for some reason, I was surprised when I walked into the room. In a way, I guess you could say that it was less scary than I thought it would be. When I pictured it, I imagined prisoners being handcuffed, guards everywhere, people yelling, the room crowded and papers being piled up on every table with evi-
dence and remarks. But when we walked in, it was empty. Everything was so orderly. It was all technology based, there were computers and giant screens everywhere. There were wooden tables lined up, some on the defense side and some on the prosecutor side, each of them empty except for screens that were bolted into the tops of the tables. (continued on page 27)

... continued from page 26
The judge and witness stands were at the front of the room, like I had imagined them, but somehow seemed staged instead of like true courtroom seats. Both chairs were comfy, black leather seats that looked bigger than they actually were, being raised way above the rest of the room’s floor level. There were just five, wooden, simple, boring, meaningless seats where the five 9/11 terrorists sit during their trials - making something that I thought would be so intimidating and disturbing seem so ordinary. The only sign that detainees would ever sit in them was a metal cuff attached to the floor near the chairs, for the detainees to be restrained with if the situation calls for it. It may have been because it was empty or because I was basing my image of the court room on movies or because I’d never actually been in an official court room before that day, but all of this made it seem impossible that something that affected America so deeply and tragically was being discussed in that exact room. The rest of the trip had a more positive note. Snorkeling and more As mentioned before, scuba diving is a popular leisure activity at Guantanamo Bay, as is snorkeling. Therefore, we did both. I had been snorkeling multiple times before this trip, but scuba diving was never an option since you have to be certified for it. However, on a day when one of the boat captains took us out on the ocean for both snorkeling and scuba diving, I got to go down about 40 feet under water to the ocean floor with a certified scuba diver, breathing off of a second airline attached to his air tank. I wasn’t below the surface for very long, but even just the little bit that I was, it was hard. We started out by using the airlines and breathing above the water to get used to the feeling and to learn how to breath normally using the mouthpiece. Then we used the anchor rope to guide ourselves to the ocean floor. We moved very slowly, going only
about one foot every 1015 seconds in order to give our bodies time to adjust to the pressure change under water. We also popped our ears as we went down to help our heads from not feeling like they were going to explode and trust me, it really did feel like they were going to explode. It took until I was almost to the bottom of the ocean before I could finally get my ears to pop. This made it difficult to adjust to the pressure change, especially when you are trying to hold on the rope to guide yourself down, hold the air line in your mouth, see through all the bubbles that your breathing is making in front of your face, pop your ears, and try to look around and experience what the bottom of the sea is like all at once. It’s all very overwhelming and I was so afraid that I was going to mess up my breathing or loose my air supply or that my head was going to explode that I felt very out of control of the situation. The dive resulted in a bloody nose and holding a starfish, so both a loss and a win respectively. It was still an exciting experience and I’m glad to say that I’ve done it, but I definitely understand why you have to take classes and get certified to be able to scuba dive on your own. While snorkeling isn’t as hard as scuba diving, this trip proved that it can be just as exciting and adrenaline rushing. We went snorkeling multiple times on many different beaches around the coast and saw all kinds of reefs, fish, even a couple of caves that we swam into and explored. It was beautiful. Shark encounter However, none of that is necessarily adrenaline rushing. The adrenaline came into play when we went snorkeling off of Cable Beach on a day when the water was a little more rough than we were comfortable with. Regardless of the waves, we decided we could snorkel out to the reef, which ended up being pretty far away from shore. Because of the rough water, the sand and rocks on the ocean floor were stirred up
and made the water cloudy and hard to see through, but we knew that eventually we would reach clear water and be able to see the reef, regardless. Well, we were right. As we got out closer to the reef, the water started to calm down. We started to see little signs of the reef, like fish and smaller coral, so our eyes really began searching the waters. There were six of us snorkeling, and it took about one minute after the clouds disappeared for four of the six of us to abruptly yank our heads up out of the water and about five seconds to spread to the word to go back to shore. Carelessly kicking our fins trying to get to our destination, the thought of danger was no where in our minds, but it was in the water with us. All I saw was a shadow and outline, but some of the others said they made eye contact with it. Approximately 40 feet directly below us, near the ocean floor, a full grown, 12-13 foot hammerhead shark darted past so quickly I had to stop and really focus on it to decide what it was at first. Immediately turning around, kicking harder than we ever had, we all flailed onto shore, knocking into rocks and piling over each other, trying to run with our fins on and epically failing. After we were all safe on the beach, the sighting was then exciting and made a very good story for the rest of the vacation. However, during the time in the water, all I could think of was Cable Beach being featured on “Shark Week”. We later researched hammerhead sharks and learned that they can be aggressive towards humans, but there had only been 33 attacks and no fatalities, which was comforting. However, what was not comforting was that we also discovered that during the day, they often swim in large schools, sometimes of over 100 hammerheads. We didn’t see any accompanying hammerheads with our little friend, but one was plenty enough for me to last the rest of my life. Cuban cigars
The one thing a lot of people that knew I was traveling to Cuba asked me to do was come back with Cuban cigars. I sadly disappointed them all. I was certain I couldn’t bring any home, but was hoping that I could buy one while I was there just to send a picture to prove that I had it and that it wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t take it home with me. However, I was surprised when I got to Cuba that even though I was physically on the island, I still couldn’t buy any Cuban cigars. There was absolutely no possible way I could get my hands on one and no amount of money that could buy one, for anyone on Guantanamo Bay. When I heard this, I then hoped that there was an interesting story behind this, that the reason that even though we were in Cuba itself that we couldn’t buy Cuban cigars. But, the only reasoning I received was simply that we did not have a trade stand set up with the rest of Cuba, and therefore GTMO had no way of getting goods from the Cuban populated side of the island. Even with all of these new and improved relations, their cigars are still off-limits. Educational vacation Cuba, in some ways, was what I expected it to be; extremely hot, humid, always sunny, military personnel in their uniforms everywhere, beautiful waters, and new experiences. And in other ways, it was something that had I never even thought of; hearing the National Anthem across the entire base every morning at 8 a.m. and at sunset every night as they raise and lower the American flag, being in terrorists prison cells, swimming with sharks in open waters, and learning so much about what our soldiers do there to serve our country. It was both a vacation and an educational experience that I’m thankful to have had.

Commissioners learn of cemetery’s needs By David Purvis-Fenker david@nmpaper.com
Now Using Car Brite Products!
A LaFontaine resident gave the Wabash County Commissioners a lesson on the importance of cemetery maintenance during its June 27 meeting. Regina Hiple told commissioners that concerned citizens and descendants of pioneers from Ashland and LaFontaine formed a group called Friends
of the Old L a F o n t a i n e Cemetery in September 2014. The group’s purpose is to repair and restore the Ashland Graveyard and Old L a F o n t a i n e Cemetery. “When this project began, we received a quote of $200,000 for the complete restoration of our cemetery,” Hiple said. Liberty Township designates funds from taxes to be used for cemetery upkeep,
but those funds are only enough to cover mowing and must be divided between several cemeteries in the township, she said. “There are 14 cemeteries in Liberty Township; not all are maintained by the trustee. Most of the cemeteries turned over to the township are no longer being used for burial purposes, and have no funds for maintenance,” Hiple said.
Friends of the Old L a F o n t a i n e Cemetery focuses on raising funds to repair broken tablets and monuments, and volunteering time to maintain the cemetery. “Our volunteers will continue to relevel, straighten and clean as time allows, doing all we can to reduce the funding requirements,” Hiple said. The group collected $6,515 through fundraising in 2015, which it gave to Liberty Township. Of these funds, $500 was from Beacon Credit Union’s Project Spotlight, $2,500 was from a grant from the Community Foundation of Wabash County, and nearly $3,000 was donated by former graduates of the LaFontaine High School. The group intends to continue applying for grants, and has also set up a GoFundMe account and Facebook page. According to Hiple, the Indiana General Assembly has a number of statutes regarding cemeteries. One code deals with the care of cemeteries by county, and includes provisions for creating a county cemetery commission to oversee the care of cemeteries that “are without funds or sources of funds for reasonable maintenance,” according to a 2010 document from the State Board of Funeral and Cemetery Service. Cemeteries covered
by this statute may be the final resting place for Indiana pioneers or veterans. Another code concerns the care of cemeteries by townships, and applies to cemeteries that are without funds for maintenance, existed on Feb. 28, 1939 and are operated by a nonprofit organization or not managed by an organization. The statute places care and maintenance of the cemetery in the hands of the township trustee, and includes resetting and straightening all monuments as part of the maintenance duties. In other news, Sheriff Bob Land informed the commissioners that there are 82 inmates in the Wabash County Jail, and that the Sheriff ’s Department has 46 inmates in the Miami County Jail and six in Elkhart County. According to Land, the current plan is to send some sentenced inmates to Elkhart County. “Those sentenced inmates will not have anything pending, so there will not be any transportation back and forth to Elkhart County,” Land said. He said that Miami County is still holding some of Wabash County’s sentenced inmates. “This is just a backup plan we’ve arranged with Elkhart County. Right now I’m holding 27 actually serving sentences, so that’s almost a third of the jail,” Land said.
