Chamber honors 2 farm families

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce honored the Nathan Fingerle and Jeff Hawkins family farms Tuesday

night, March 21, at the seventh annual Salute to Agriculture.

With both farms operating on less than 100 acres, the Fingerles and Hawkins exemplify how farmers can do more with less, according to Curt Campbell, Purdue

Extension Wabash County Office educator.

For nearly a decade, Fingerle’s RiverRidge Farm, a 1 1/2-acre operation located at 9559 N. 250 W. in Roann, has produced year-round all-organic vegetables (continued on page 4)

The Jeff Hawkins family joined the Fingerles in being honored Tuesday night as co-Farm Families of the Year. The Hawkins family includes Denise Snyder, Zach Hawkins, Nila Hawkins, Kira Lace Hawkins, Jeff Hawkins, Kathy Hawkins, Andrew Chinworth and Kyle Lahman. Snyder, Chinworth and Lahman are “farm-ily,” according to Mrs. Hawkins. (Not pictured David Moan and Sarah Hawkins Moan) Photo by Emma Rausch

Learn More Center receives matching grant

By The Paper staff An anonymous donor has given the Learn More Center a $45,000 matching grant.

However, there is a catch this time to the grant, which is coming through the C o m m u n i t y

Foundation of Wabash County.

Center officials are well aware of the needs of area businesses for a welltrained workforce, particularly in the “soft” employability skills that combine with hard skills to make a valuable employee. They are

also in touch with many individuals who recognize their own needs to polish these and other skills in order to gain employment.

The state of Indiana is increasingly directing funds toward programs that specifically address those needs,

and Center officials believe they are positioned well to provide them.

With those needs in mind, the donor offers a 2:1 match for business gifts up to $3,000, while individual gifts of up to $1,000 will be matched 1:1.

“We are thrilled

and so grateful for the impact this support means, both to individuals who strive to improve their employability and to area businesses in need of a skilled workforce,” Learn More Center Director Cynthia Johnson said.

In addition to the basic literacy, English Language Learners, and high school equivalency classes that are the backbone of the Center’s program, it will soon offer integrated education and training to support a better-trained and more skilled workforce.

Businesses and industries that have specific needs that the facility might be able to address, or those which would like more information on any of the above programs, should contact the Center. Johnson welcomes all communications with area employers.

“We

would love to hear your ideas on how we can be responsive to your needs and more aware of the employment picture in our county.”

While the state reimburses some Learn More Center expenses, the LMC depends on loyal s u p p o r t e r s — bu s i nesses, individuals, and foundations—to fill the gap that keeps the lights on and allows LMC to serve those whose needs do not fall into a neat category. LMC successes the past academic year have been remarkable: LMC provided services in North Manchester, Wabash, Lagro, and the County Jail.

19 students earned an HSE in 2015-2016, with an additional 21 receiving their HSE already this academic year.

145 individuals were served in 20152016, with 114 served so far in 2016-2017.

35 students last

academic year transitioned from virtually no literacy to higher levels in preparation for HSE. So far this year, 16 students have done so.

Individuals who would like to give a hand up to people who are hoping to make better lives for themselves and their families will receive a match for their gifts of up to $1,000.

Center officials are always open to suggestions and visits, and would welcome volunteer involvement. Tax-deductible gifts to the Learn More Center are helping improve lives, increase individual and family literacy, and generate a better and more skilled workforce for our community for years to come.

Aging in Place seminar coming to Wabash Article provided

Most people want to remain in their own home, but are unaware of what needs to be done to make it possible. On Monday, April 10, from 10-11:30 a.m., the public will have an opportunity to attend a free seminar put on by two local organizations.

With grant support from AARP Foundation, Wabash County Habitat for Humanity and Living Well in Wabash County will present a workshop to educate homeowners about what it takes to age in place, to remain living independently as long as possible.

The free workshop will provide partici-

pants a greater understanding of the issues and the information homeowners can use to assess their home’s readiness for aging in place.

Industry expert Douglas Gallow Jr., AIA and co-founder of Lifespan Design Studio, will present as the event’s keynote speaker. Gallow has completed extensive continuing education on aging and is an active participant in a nationwide community of aging-services professionals, allowing him to remain in contact with emerging trends and timely information in this dynamic field.

It is not feasible for America to build our way out of the “silver

tsunami” for a multitude of reasons, according to Maggie Wimberly, Executive Director for Wabash County Habitat.

“First, the demand for skilled labor (to build) would far exceed what is available,” Wimberly said.

“A d d i t i o n a l l y, Generation X is much smaller than the Baby Boomers, and Generation Y won’t need specialized facilities for a very long time.

“Last, but certainly not least, most studies of those 60(-years-old) and older show that upwards of 85 percent of adults wants to stay in their own home rather than uproot themselves later in life.”

Small cities will reemerge because of Baby Boomers, according to research conducted by TopRetirements.com.

“There is a reason why small towns loom so large in our imaginations – they are a powerful ideal where everyone knows one another and shares a sense of community,” the research stated.

“Many boomers are going to seek out this ideal, looking for towns that are growing, have

Two $100,000 Historic Renovation Grants have been awarded to Wabash Marketplace by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (“OCRA”).

The grants are earmarked for roof and façade work at the Bedford, 231-237 S. Wabash St., and Bradley, 5 W. Canal St., buildings in downtown Wabash.

“We are thrilled that we have received these grants,” said Tyler Karst, project manager for Marketplace.

“Grant applications were first submitted last May, and we have been providing additional information to OCRA and the Indiana Department of Nature Resource ever since.

This was an extremely competitive and timeconsuming process, and we are proud to have gotten the job done.”

DNR was involved in the process because it has jurisdiction over historic buildings. The buildings are part of the “Downtown Wabash Historic District,” having been named to the National Register of Historic Places on July 18, 1986.

Marketplace purchased the buildings last year in an effort to save them from demolition.

“These grants, coupled with the façade grants we have received as a result of the City’s Stellar designation, will allow us to install new roofs, doors and windows, as well as com-

pletely refurbish the brick and limestone facades of the two buildings,” WMI Executive Director Steve Downs said.

“These buildings have been neglected for a long time and are in deplorable condition.”

“Long-range plans for the buildings are still being developed by the board,” according to WMI President Jason Callahan. “We hope to attract private investors to take the buildings off of our hands, but if that doesn’t work out, we are presently looking at refurbishing the buildings for residential and commercial use.

Wabash businessman Jack Frances owned the buildings in recent years; however, Julie Locke, a California resident, recently purchased them in 2015.

WMI purchased the buildings from Locke last year.

Chamber honors 2 farm families

while its on-site store has expanded to sell a variety of locally produced products.

Fingerle also provides M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools with local, fresh produce.

Meanwhile, the Hawkins Family Farm, a 60-year-old operation located at 10373 N 300 E in North Manchester, utilizes part of its 99 acres to grow corn for feed for its pasturebased livestock and growing 50 different garden vegetables and herbs.

Locally, the Hawkins’ homestead is known for its chickens and wood-fired, brick oven pizzas.

bling, according to Hawkins.

“It’s a marvelous thing to be a Wabash County farmer,” he said Tuesday night after accepting the award. “We have such gifts, the gift of family and friends without whom we couldn’t do this work, communities that are supportive, politicians in our community with our chicken (bill) fight behind us all the way to the state house certainly made a difference, (and) organizations that recognize the breadth and depth of agriculture and support and recognize that.

“So we are quite honored and humbled and grateful, and I know you are too, Nate.”

While Fingerle declined the opportunity to speak, Hawkins had a few words to share about his coaward winner.

“We do wonder in our family if that, Nate is kind of a genius farmer, and if that genius didn’t sort of start in fourth grade,” Hawkins said jokingly, referring to how Fingerle was a student of Hawkins’ wife, Kathy, at Manchester Elementary School.

Tuesday night’s event was a celebration of Wabash County’s agricultural industry and “two of our own,” according to Howard H a l d e r m a n , A g r i c u l t u r e Committee chair and emcee for the evening.

Halderman shared facts on the state’s agricultural standing, noting that Indiana is third in spearmint production, fifth in hog production, first in duck and third in chicken egg production.

“So what’s interesting is that 87 percent of the farms are less than

500 acres in size in the state of Indiana,” he said. “But 70 percent of the land that is farmed is done so by the remaining 13 percent of the farmers. … But that’s not what we’re recognizing tonight.

“These two families (the Hawkins and the Fingerles) out here are feeding hundreds even though they’re relatively small compared to the large scale producers that a lot of people think about,” he later continued. “So that’s what we want to recognize tonight is agriculture and we have this opportunity not only to recognize these two very successful families in agriculture, but also educate the county on what we’re doing.”

Sue Ellspermann, president of Ivy Tech Community College, presented as keynote speaker at the Salute to Ag. Formerly Indiana’s lieutenant governor, Ellspermann played a role in overseeing the state’s agricultural industry.

“As lieutenant governor, I got to oversee agricultural and served in Indiana as Secretary of Agriculture and, so, you have just a great opportunity just to work with agriculture,” she said. “If you look at my bio, I do not have an ag degree and I always thought it was curious that I went to Purdue, Secretary of Agriculture, without an ag degree.

“I really thought that someone at least owed me an honorary one just to come out of that,” she joked. “And Jeff (Hawkins) and I had the great pleasure this past year of working on what we called the Chicken Bill and finally got something right in state govern-

Sue Ellspermann presented as Tuesday night’s keynote speaker. Former lieutenant governor, Ellspermann worked closely with the Hawkins family on the “Chicken Bill,” a piece of legislation that directly impacted the local farm. Photo

by Emma Rausch ment.”

The Chicken Bill, also known as House Bill 1267, ruffled local and state government feathers from 2015 into 2016 after the state Department of Health issued a cease-anddesist order on the Hawkins Family Farm to stop selling its chickens to area restaurants that specialize in locally sourced foods.

The initial bill sought to tighten 2014’s rules and forced Hawkins, who raises 4,000 chickens per year, to be regulated like a 200,000 poultry production.

Hawkins’ son, Zach, launched a Twitter c a m p a i g n , #kee pchickenonthemenu, against the legislation.

To some lawmakers, like Republican Rep. Dave Ober, the bill would have been a blow to Indiana’s growing small-farm movement, which is when Ellspermann stepped

in.

After meeting with Hawkins, regulators, proponents and opponents of the bill, Ellspermann helped revise the bill to compromise with all parties involved.

The finalized bill, which took affect July 1, required the Hawkins farm to be inspected by the Board of Animal Health and placed more responsibility on the family to have a staff personnel certified in food-handling and food-safety.

Tuesday night, Ellspermann said it was one of her proudest accomplishments as Secretary of Agriculture.

“It was a great pleasure,” she said. “But that’s what you do. If you are an elected officer, you have that great pleasure to over see things and hopefully, while you’re there, move things forward in a better way.”

Forums look at Chamber, EDG plan

... continued from the front page

frequently asked questions about the proposed merger.

Those include things such as what will happen with the current staff, who will oversee the proposed new group, what will membership cost and more.

The transition committee - of which eight members were present – also fielded questions from the others present.

Questions include if the committee had checked with other organizations that had undertaken similar mergers, and what will the two organizations do for its members.

Bob Lundquist, who was on part of a committee that helped six Realtor groups merge into one, suggested the committee hold one-onone meetings with Chamber and EDG members, rather that trying to communicate electronically or in group meetings.

“It’s really easy to get to the stage you’re at now,” he said. “All the benefits and the drawbacks, the benefits, most of the time … the benefits really out-

weigh the negatives. It became clear really fast that this was the best thing to do.

“But where the rubber really met the road was when it was time to do mock budgets, and then provide membership with the details of what dues structures will look like and what the services will be.

“You can send out all the emails and all the electronic stuff you want to, and mailings, too, and you won’t get 20 percent of the membership to read that. It became important for us to have face-to-face meetings.”

He also suggested have just one spokesman for the committee, that way the message will remain the same.

Brian Hoffman asked if the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce was invited to join the merger.

“I saw a lot of Manchester people on the transition board, as well,” he said.

Committee chair Emily Boardman said

the NM Chamber, as well as other non-profit organizations from around the area, were invited to join the merger. However, none accepted the invitation.

“The North Manchester Chamber of Commerce is supportive of the efforts of the Wabash Chamber/EDG. At this time we are committed to our Program of Work to support our membership and look forward to exploring ways to collaborate with the Wabash Chamber/EDG in the future for the growth of Wabash County and North Manchester,” Sebrena Cline, chair of the NM Chamber Board, told the North Manchester NewsJournal about the NM Chamber’s decision to decline the invitation.

Boardman, in a response to another question, said members of both organizations must vote to pass the merger or it will not happen.

She said many of the people to whom she has spoken seem to be in

favor of the merger.

“Whether it materializes at vote, I cannot say,” she continued.

“But at least the boards of both organizations feel like it’s a valuable process to put the effort forth and give our best product to the membership.”

The transition committee had an additional public forum at the North Manchester Public Safety Building Thursday, March 23.

Four community members and several transition committee members attended the meeting.

Boardman ran through the list of frequently asked questions, and told those present that the vote is currently scheduled for May 15.

Information about the transition, including proposed bylaws and new board members, will be mailed to members of the Chamber and EDG before the vote.

NM Town Council President Jim Smith voiced a couple of concerns regarding the town’s membership

and services received from EDG. “We do receive a lot of services from E c o n o m i c Development Group, and we are a major player as far as their finances are concerned,” he said.

“Our biggest concern is the fact that we don’t want to lose any of the Economic Development Group services.”

He said that the town and EDG “have a great relationship,” and that they do not want to lose that.

“Some of those E c o n o m i c

Development activities are really tactical and specialized, and it is absolutely our intent to retain those services, and ensure that we have the right quality people to administer those as well,” Boardman said.

She noted that NM Town Manager Adam Penrod, who is a member of the transition committee, has shared that message with the committee.

Smith also said that the town would not want to give up their seat on the EDG board, which Boardman said would not occur.

“You will notice, when we send out the articles and bylaws that are proposed for the new organization, the directors are defined and [Wabash County, Wabash and North Manchester] are represented on the board,” Boardman said.

Other questions included whether the new organization would receive funds from municipalities, to which Boardman replied that the committee hoped it would, and that the proposed organization is set up to be able to receive such funds.

Fibromyalgia, rheumatic illness support group forms in Wabash County

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

A new support group is hoping to provide friendship and fellowship to area residents suffering from fibromyalgia and rheumatic illnesses.

Created by Wabash County women Susan Mendoza and Mary Brown, the group hopes to help build relationships between those experiencing the same ailments, Mendoza told The Paper of Wabash County.

“Over the years, I’ve run into a lot of people that are experiencing a lot of loneliness, feeling like they’re the only ones dealing with this,” she said. “When you talk to someone who’s dealing with this as well, it helps to know that you’re not alone. Also, we find different things that work and we want to share those experiences of things that help be it medication, homeopathic (remedies) and what type of exercise that helps.

“Finally it’s just to have fellowship with

each other just once a month, to get together and build a friendship between the people that are suffering. We can call each other if we’re having a bad day.”

There is a need for this type of support group in the county, Mendoza explained, on account of those suffering from these illnesses also suffer from loneliness “because they can’t keep up with the right ‘normal’

lifestyle that other people do, and it makes us feel inadequate by watching other people live their lives and we wake up feeling like we just got hit by a truck.

“There are just some days you just don’t want to get out of bed,” she continued, “and you just need to know that there are other people that are experiencing the same thing.

It’s our ‘normal’ and learn to accept that, learn to accept our sit-

uation.”

The group is free and open to the public and those interested are encouraged to bring a friend.

The meeting will take place every third Wednesday of the month in the Wabash County YMCA conference room beginning at 2 p.m.

For more information, contact Mendoza at 574-453-8930 or email fibromyalgia.arthritis@gmail.com.

Vernon Street facility takes on new mission, new patients

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Vernon Health and Rehabilitation (VHR), formerly Vernon Manor Children’s

Home, is now more than just a pediatrics facility. It now provides care from birth to end-of-life, according to Reneé Hamilton, community liaison.

“There was a need.

The community needed (the expansion),” Hamilton told The Paper of Wabash County. “It wasn’t necessarily that we were looking to be the only

birth to the end of life facility, but it kind of worked out that way.

“Our biggest push was, as our kids, our babies who came in 1968 have grown, there’s just no where else for them to go. …

Typical nursing homes you’re looking at 65(-years-old) or older and that’s just because of state regulations. The biggest reason is the need of the community.”

Founded as Vernon Manor Children’s Home, the facility pri-

marily focused pediatric care. However, over time, its mission grew.

In November, the facility legally changed its name to match the former manor’s vision expanded to include children through seniors short-term and long-term care.

“We have been a healthcare provider in the Wabash community for 41 years,” Tammy Harvey, VHR executive director, said. “In 2015, we expanded our scope of services to provide rehabilitation and long-term care for seniors. Our new name is a reflection of the comprehensive skilled nursing care we provide individuals of all ages.”

The name change was needed to emphasis the facility’s changes, according to Hamilton.

“Health and rehab, we do it all,” Hamilton said. “And actually … there’s no other facility in Indiana that takes birth all the way to end of life. We are the only one in the state of Indiana.

“A family from Michigan came (and)

they don’t have any one that will accept their 13-year-old once he’s 13 on forward, and so they’re looking at other states. So the name change, Health and Rehabilitation, it encompasses everything we do and then it emphasizes birth all the way to end of life.”

Due to the facility’s expertise in “complex” medical cases, it was a simple transition to expand its services to provide for patients beyond the childhood demographic, she added.

“We’re able to handle a lot of feeding tubes, (tracheostomies) and things like that,” she continued. “Our nurses, CNAs (certified nursing assistants) and staff, we’re just trained for it. … And it’s awesome too because if someone comes in with a more complex situation that maybe other nursing homes aren’t specialized in, we can handle it.”

Since the name change, the facility has also undergone construction to meet the needs for those in pediatric, geriatric or rehabilitation care,

according to Hamilton.

The center’s redesign also will include separate wings for geriatrics and pediatrics as well as a juice bar and inhouse theater and dining room.

Currently, the facility is preparing for phase I of construction, which will expand the geriatrics wing from six rooms to nine rooms. In phase II, the facility will gain a secured unit for those with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

“We’re a 119-bed facility and a Medicare, Medicaid certified non-for-profit facility,” Hamilton said.

“Potentially, we’ll have 21 geriatric and short-term rehabilitation (rooms) and approximately 98 in the back section.”

While it is no longer Vernon Manor, Vernon Health and Rehabilitation still has its patients’ needs in mind, she added.

“We remember where our roots came from, the pediatrics, but now it transitions to when they get their wings,” Hamilton said. “It’s kind of exciting.”

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “Too great a degree of importance is placed on victory alone. If you can react the same way to winning or to losing, that’s a big accomplishment.

Yes, the glory of winning is often worth the price one pays for

it, like working hard and trying to be your best, but there is no disgrace in defeat.

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

Champions are born in the labor of defeat.

The moment of victory is much too short to live for that alone and nothing else.

Learn to embrace the process of improvement. Never, and I repeat, never equate losing with failure.”

State distributes 2,200 weather radios

By The Paper staff

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) is partnering with all 92 counties in the state to distribute more than 2,200 allhazard (weather) radios to Hoosiers.

The radios will be distributed on the local level by each county’s emergency management agency.

“Receiving early warnings is critical to safety during severe weather events,” said John Erickson, IDHS Director of Public Affairs. “All-hazard radios, which provide

a wide range of alerts, are a valuable tool that can help citizens make decisions to better protect themselves and their families.”

The distribution focuses on citizens who are particularly vulnerable to the damaging effects of severe weather: economically disadvantaged citizens, residents of mobile and prefabricated homes and others who may not be able to receive weather alerts by traditional means.

Federal grants funded the purchase of the radios.

Mobile homes and

other similar structures provide minimal protection against severe weather and other lifethreatening disasters.

In the event of severe weather, IDHS advises mobile home residents to seek shelter in a building with a strong foundation.

All-hazard radios receive more than 60 emergency alerts including hazardous weather, local area warnings and information on current conditions from the National Weather Service. In the event of a power outage, backup batteries

power the radio.

Most all-hazard radios require a Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) code number, which limits the emergency messages they receive to a specific geographic area.

The list of Indiana counties and their corresponding SAME codes are available at http://www.nws.no a a . g ov / n w r / c ove r age/ccov.php?State=I N. To find contact information for county emergency management agencies, v i s i t http://www.in.gov/dh

VIEWPOINT Yarnelles had big impact on community Where Letters to are the the Editor shovels?

Dear Editor, After the recent tragic fire at the Yarnelle Lumber Company, I would like to take a moment to publicly reflect upon and be thankful for the local legacy of the Yarnelle family and their impact on our community.

How can we possibly fully grasp the impact that a Civil War-era, fifth-generation company has had on all of us, especially considering the high failure rate of companies? The Yarnelle family has employed many of us, volunteered throughout the community, given generously to countless causes, paid taxes that have supported and sustained the growth of Wabash, and inspired us all. It is undeniable that Wabash would not be the same flourishing town that it is without the contributions of the Yarnelle family.

Wabash needs more companies like the Yarnelle Lumber Company; businesses like this one will now and forever benefit Wabash and encourage us all to live up to the resultant impact.

I would like to personally thank Ken, Jill, and their boys for all that they have done for us. It was a privilege for me and the rest of the INGUARDIANS to be your neighbor.

I would also like to extend my deepest thanks and gratitude on behalf of INGUARD to all those who assisted with safely evacuating our clients, staff

and visitors and saving the building that our company built in 1968. Without the Wabash Fire Department, Noble Township Fire Department, Wabash County EMA, Indiana State Fire Marshal, Wabash Police Department, Mayor Scott Long, Duke Energy, Citizens Energy Group and numerous volunteer firefighters and emergency personnel, our building would not still be standing today. We celebrate and thank you all.

Further thanks to Paul Davis Restoration, Betty Temple Inc, Hoffman’s Nursery &

Landscape, and A&A Cleaning for restoring our property to its original state. Thank you also to all our downtown neighbors and friends, especially The Honeywell Foundation and the Wabash County YMCA for your kind words, support and offers of space to relocate if needed.

Lastly, thank you to Intrasect Technologies for helping us to remain 100% operational before, during and after the fire.

And most importantly, thank you to the greater community of Wabash and our clients for your support. I would be remiss if I did not thank our clients – INGUARD would not be around to be saved from a fire without each of you and your relationships with us.

Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all. — Parker Beauchamp, CEO, INGUARD, Wabash

Where people go, litter tends to follow Dear Editor: I find some fallacy in a recent letter to the editor printed in “The Paper” concerning the proposed bike trail. The writer states, “there is no evidence of littering” by people along a trail. He may be right in the statement on no study, but from my own personal observation in mushroom hunting and walking our own walking trails I find litter all over the place, even though there are trash cans in several points of our in town walking trails.

While mushroom hunting a few times in the Salamonie state park I was just stunned at the trash and bottles and pop cans littered all along a horse trail I crossed several times.

Candy wrappers, water bottles, paper off of fast food sandwich-

es, cigarette packs, cigarette butts, you name it, it was all along the trail. It didn’t just blown in there either. It’s concentrated just along the trail mostly.

I cannot believe the trash left behind by people using our state park of all places. It looks like a trash hole in the woods. I counted about a dozen pieces of trash just standing in one spot around me beside the trial.

I go out into the woods to observe the beauty of it, not to look at candy wrappers or water bottles here and there.

Observing the bikers in Peru using the bike trail there, I see several using it daily from what I saw in just a few minutes, I can imagine the trash dropped off along the way and blowing all over the woods.

If this person doesn’t think druggies don’t take advantage of the wooded area, think again. These trails open up places for drug dealing and pot parties. If you walk about 75 feet off the walk trail in town here you see where somebody has some kind of regular party in the middle of the woods with beat down path way to it from several directions. It’s a regularly used spot.

If the example of the trails though our state park are any example, then I’m sure it won’t be any different with several daily bikers on a trail.

I bicycle myself in warm weather almost daily. I would rather see an in town bike trail then some trail across the countryside littering it all the way,

disrupting the deer and wildlife that live there. I also wouldn’t walk a trail or ride without being armed in such a secluded area. Even walking trails in town.

That’s a whole other story in itself.

We have already lost two young people on a trail in this state. I think we should be more concerned about fixing the in town bike trails called the sidewalks that kids use every day. I have seen in my own area sidewalks in total unusable condition.

I think some have lost focus on what is really important in making our city better place and more attractive place.

Where people go, so goes the trash and litter. – Michael L. Price, Wabash

Research sources of information first

Dear Editor: In response to the announcement that Tom DeWeese will be addressing a meeting of the local C3 group, I offer the following information. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website, our nation’s premier civil rights organization, “Tom DeWeese has built a career of issuing scary warnings about Agenda 21, a completely voluntary United Nations set of principles for sustainable resource management. Where others see sensible environmental guidelines, DeWeese finds sinister landgrabbing socialist UN initiatives that threaten national sovereignty, private property rights and freedom, not to mention turning our children into oneworld government zombies.” In other words, Tom DeWeese is a

truly frightening extremist .

While the “tea party” (and I can only assume the local C3 group), apparently believe themselves to be grassroots organizations, their initial development can be traced directly to the billionaire corporatist Koch brothers and their creation, Americans for Prosperity, with whom Mr. DeWeese closely works.

It seems quite clear that DeWeese uses fear of “globalism” to achieve a completely unregulated corporate agenda.

According to Mr. DeWeese, sustainable resource management is an imminent danger to liberty and freedom. To a giant corporation intent on fracking every inch of our nation, this may be somewhat true of a corporation’s liberty and freedom, but to the public interest of

each individual citizen of our nation, it certainly is not. It is personal property losses we incur from earthquakes caused by that fracking. It is air and water pollution that make us sick; it is toxic soil that mars the GDX property in town.

What is good for the public interest, is not necessarily what is good for greedy corporate executives.

Mr. DeWeese’s fear-mongering simply reinforces the stance taken by many “tea party groups and various conspiracy theorists of the antigovernment “Patriot” movement. . .” He claims that climate change is “a lie intended to bolster environmental restrictions” (he’s working for the corporatists who would completely destroy our environment in the name of profits).

He also says that

“green policies are ‘vigorously’ blocking fracking, oil drilling, coal mining and other traditional energy acquisition methods, while wasting billions of dollars on alternative energy sources such as wind and solar.” I, for one, do not believe sustainable energy sources are a “waste.” Quite the contrary, I believe they are crucial to our healthy future.

It makes me sad that so many people adamantly refuse to listen to anyone with a different point of view. Ignorance breeds fear; fear breeds hate. Know the sources of your “information.”

Listen to differing points of view. Make up your own mind.

Oftentimes, it’s not honest information you hear at all, merely propaganda. — Susan Fagin, North Manchester

Dear Editor: I was talking to a citizen of Wabash recently about how the city operates. The mayor told him the city trucks do not have room on their trucks to carry shovels.

The citizen offered to help buy shovels if they didn’t have enough. I remember when all of the trucks carried shovels, rakes and brooms. What has changed?

This could save a lot of time, gas and money by picking upleaves, limbs and anythig necessary instead of making two trips.

This is an honorable man who tells it like it is. This Marine served two tours in Vietnam and is a decorated hero. He deserves a round of applause for his service to his country and for offering to help buy tools for the city.

He now has leukemia from exposure to Agent Orange and is going through a lot of treatments. This man’s name is Dennis Starbuck and if you should see him, you should give him your thanks. -- Red Hapner, Wabash.

St. Bernard’s, Wabash City win Battle of the Books contest

By The Paper staff St. Bernard’s Catholic School and Wabash City Schools were the winners in the 2017 Battle of the Books.

St. Bernard’s won the middle school competition, while Wabash City Schools won the elementary school contest, both of which were sponsored by the Wabash Carnegie Public Library.

The elementary competition for fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students took place at Heartland Career Center on Monday, March 20 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

The middle school competition, consisting of students from sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, took place at the library on March 21 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Sharp Creek, Wabash City Schools, Emmanuel Christian,

Southwood, Chibis, a team of homeschooled students, and St. Bernard’s Catholic School students matched wits in the elementary competition. Southwood, Wabash City Schools, Northfield, St. Bernard’s Catholic School, and the Emojis participated in the middle school battle.

The Youth Services staff of the Wabash Carnegie Public Library selected the titles and purchased the books for the competition. Elementary teams read six books: “The Spiderwick Chronicles: Field Guide” by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi, “Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library” by Chris Grabenstein, “Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH” by Robert O’Brien, “From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler” by E.L.

K o n i g s b u r g , “Volcanoes” by Seymour Simon, and “I Survived the Eruption of Mount St. Helens” by Lauren Tarshis. They read 937 pages.

Middle school competitors read seven books: “Chains” by Laurie Halse Anderson, “Football Genius” by Tim Green, “Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom” by Lynda Blackmon Lowery, “Cinder” by Marissa Meyer, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling, “Maniac Magee” by Jerry Spinelli, and “The Running Dream” by Wendelin Van Draanen. The middle school teams read 1,934 pages.

The tournament was in a round-robin format. Teams of five to 10 members answer questions designed to indicate knowledge of

characters, plot, and setting from each of the assigned books. A representative from the library reads aloud questions and acts as a judge.

Teams have 60 seconds to formulate an answer. The judge then determines whether the answer may be accepted. The team with the most winning matches is the victor. Each team receives a Certificate of Participation and a candy bar. The teams are also provided with an ice cream party, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Homer Miller.

The winning teams from each age group are awarded a pizza party, courtesy of the library. Their school name is engraved on the traveling trophy, to be kept at the winning school until the next year’s competition.

Local youth is Ag Day Video Contest winner

By The Paper staff

A Wabash County youth was among six honored in the Indiana Family of Farmers Ag Day Video Contest.

John Schuler, Roann, finished second in the high school division of the contest, which was open to middle and high school students.

The IFOF event was in conjunction with a celebration of N a t i o n a l Agriculture Day. Members of the (IFoF), a coalition of more than a dozen agrelated organizations, came together at the Statehouse to recognize the significant economic and cultural contributions agriculture makes to the Hoosier state. Along with an appreciation luncheon, the celebration included exhibits from a variety of farm organizations and agencies, as well as a ceremony, which featured Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development, Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch.

“Agriculture is woven into the fabric

Photo provided of Indiana, and farming is at the core of our state’s economy – a vital component of our rural landscape,” said Lt. Governor Crouch. “From the food we eat to the clothing we wear, agriculture impacts so much of our daily lives, so we appreciate everything our farmers have done, and continue to do, for families across the state.”

During the ceremony, Logan Glassburn, Indiana FFA State Sentinel, read the official proclamation signed

by Governor Eric Holcomb declaring March 21 as “Ag Day” in Indiana. The group also recognized several special guests including State Senator Jean

Leising (ROldenburg), Senate A g r i c u l t u r e Committee Chair, State Representative Don Lehe (RBrookston), House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee Chair, and Ted McKinney, Director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.

“It has never been a more exciting time to be in one of Indiana’s longest and most notable industries,” Director McKinney said.

“Indiana agriculture continues to grow, diversify and lead the nation, and we must take pause and give thanks to the incredible farming families who make it all possible – and not just today, but every

day.”

One of the highlights of the ceremony was recognizing the winners of the IFoF Ag Day Video Contest, which was designed to challenge Hoosier students to think critically and creatively about the future of agriculture. Below is a list of the 2017 contest winners: Grades 6-8: First place, Nathan Tuholski, from Mill Creek; second place John Jackson, from Jamestown, third place, Shenandoah Middle School, from Middletown, Ind. Grades 9-12: First place, Katelyn Smith, from Logansport; second place John Schuler, Roann; third place Anna Taylor, from Corunna.

Eighth-grade winners from left to right are Emma Bowling (2nd place, Northfield, Elise Gottschalk (1st place, Northfield) and Trinnity Mitchell (3rd place, Northfield). Photos provided

Commissioners approve vigil on courthouse lawn

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com A vigil to raise awareness for child abuse and neglect is being planned for late April.

County coordinator Jim Dils presented a request on behalf of Julie Hobbs, director of the Wabash County office of the Department of Child Services, at Monday’s meeting of the county commissioners. “[DCS] is asking for permission to hold a vigil on the courthouse lawn to

raise awareness for child abuse and neglect,” Dils said.

He noted that Hobbs would like to plan the vigil for the last week in April, but a date and time have not yet been decided.

The commissioners said that they had no objection to the vigil.

Dils also informed the commissioners that all county property that needed removed from the historic old jail has been removed, and that Indiana Landmarks has begun its renovation

process.

County Attorney Steve Downs added that the deed to the property has not yet been recorded, and that the county will need to maintain insurance on the property until it is.

In other news, Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land gave an unofficial report on last week’s jail populations.

“I have 86 in our facility, 54 in Miami County, five in Elkhart and two in Wells County,” he said.

The top three individual finishers in each grade received trophies and Amazon gift cards. The seventh-grade trophies went to: Gabriel Case (Manchester), first; Kyle Wynn (Northfield), second; Kyleigh Brown (Northfield), third.

The eighth-grade winners were Northfield students Elise Gottschalk, first; Emma Bowling, second; and Trinnity Mitchell, third.

Students also competed in a team event, with students from different schools randomly assigned to teams. Because this year’s contest was held on Pi Day, team questions revolved around pi, pies and circles. For example, “At Patty’s Pizza Palace, the crust of a large pizza covers twice the area of a small pizza. Compute the ratio of the radius of a large pizza to the radius of a small pizza.”

The top team award went to Emily S t a m b a u g h (Manchester), Kyle Wynn (Northfield) and Mason Yentes

Award winning historian to speak at NM Historical Society

By The Paper staff

NORTH MANCHESTER — The April 10 meeting of the North Manchester Historical Society will feature an American history program titled “Lesser-Known First Ladies – 1825 to 1853: Making the Most of One Term.”

This program will

trace the lives of three fascinating, yet lesser-known first ladies during the years of the young republic.

Each woman’s many “firsts” are highlighted as part of the presentation.

The program will be in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest Retirement Center, 2201 East St., at 6:30 p.m. It is open to the

public at no cost and will be enjoyable for audiences of all ages.

Presenter Cynthia Thies will also examine numerous concurrent events in frontier Indiana during the program’s time period 1825-1853.

The unique program, which includes a narrated video, was written and created by Thies.

The energy of the band

By Bill Barrows Most of the seats at the Ford Theater in Wabash on Thursday evening for the Styx concert were empty.

That is because from the first note of the opener, “Grand Illusion”, the energy created by the band kept most of the soldout crowd on their feet all evening.

Legendary guitarist and lead singer Tommy Shaw and his mates put on a terrific show that rolled through a playlist of hits from the mid-‘70s through a career that has spanned 40-plus years of constant change both in their brand and styles of music to key personnel changes.

Behind the stage and out of the bright lights I observed five musicians who seemed to truly enjoy each other’s company.

That has not always been the case.

Disagreements over production and theatrical direction led to tension that threatened to destroy the band in the early ‘80s even though they were having worldwide suc-

BILL BARROWS cess. The band even broke up and the musicians went their separate ways, joined other bands and/or started solo careers before reforming in 1989.

Lawrence Gowan, the group’s keyboardist and singer, set the tone through “Too Much Time,” “Fooling Yourself ” and “Lady,” before giving way to Ricky Phillips and original band members James (J.Y.) Young as they smoothly went into my personal favorite “Lorelei.” This was a powerful show that just kept getting better and more nostalgic as the playlist unfolded. Styx played for an hour, took a break and then came back and

entertained for another hour of hits.

The six-person party that I was with kept waiting for Shaw to start belting out another personal favorite, “Renegade.”

We became fearful that they were not going to perform that number. However as “Crystal Ball” and “Pieces of Eight” led into “Blue Collar Man” and “Come Sail Away,” drummer Todd S u c k e r m a n marathoned his way through a couple of drum solos that showed pure talent and energy. The band left the stage amid applause that created more than enough energy for the band to return and perform “Rockin’ the Paradise” and “Renegade” as an encore.

When it finally ended, well after 10 p.m., it was apropos that there was thunder and lightning outside, in the distance to the north and west, as a thunderstorm approached to match the thunder and lightning that had just finished inside the Honeywell Center.

Broken headlight leads to meth charges Wabash attorney’s

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — A broken headlight resulted in a North Manchester man being charged with possession of methamphetamine last week.

The man, Thomas A. Marcum, 38, of North Manchester was charged with one count of possession of methamphetamine and one count of operating a vehicle as a habitual traffic offender, both level

THOMAS MARCUM six felonies, after being pulled over on Wednesday, March 22.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, North

Manchester Police Department Officer Parker Stouffer was on a routine patrol when he passed a white Chevrolet Camero with a headlight out on Singer Road in North Manchester.

Stouffer turned around to stop the Camero, which pulled into a driveway.

When Stouffer parked behind it, the driver, later identified as Marcum, got out and walked toward Stouffer’s vehicle.

The officer exited

his vehicle, told the driver that his headlight was out and asked to see his license.

The affidavit states that Marcum handed Stouffer an Indiana Identification Card, and that when Stouffer checked with dispatch he was informed that Marcum was a habitual traffic violator.

Stouffer then placed Marcum in handcuffs.

NMPD Officers Derek Sessoms, Tommy Riggs and Jon Pace arrived, and

Marcum was placed in Sesssoms’ vehicle.

According to the affidavit, Sessoms allegedly found a small, clear plastic bag containing a crystal-like substance in a pack of cigarettes in the center consol of Marcum’s vehicle.

The substance field tested positive for methamphetamine.

Marcum was transported to the Wabash County Jail by Pace and Riggs, and held on a $1,200 bond.

He bonded out the next day.

Local law enforcement, child services officials attend human trafficking seminar

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Human trafficking cases are a rare occurrence in Wabash County, but local officials are still on the lookout if one were to travel through the area.

On Wednesday, March 22, Restored Inc., an Indianapolisbased facility aimed at providing services to sex trafficking victims, hosted a seminar at Northfield High School to educate local law enforcement and child services officials on how to spot a human trafficking situation.

“Human trafficking is tied as the second largest and fastest

growing criminal industry in the world, just behind the drug trade,” speaker Brandon Davenport said, adding that “it is a growing problem affecting youth.”

Davenport is a 10year Indiana State Police veteran that was specifically assigned to human trafficking investigations.

Wabash Police Chief Matt Bruss told The Paper of Wabash County that while it may not be a high concern in the county, it is always good to be prepared.

“It is a part of our state-mandated training every year, but (the seminar) is a good that even in a small community like

this that it can still happen and to be aware of it and to know what you need to look for,” Bruss said. “It’s not going on, but if we do run across it, we want to have at least resources to know what we need to do.”

“And what to look for,” Wabash County Sheriff Robert Land added.

Bruss and Land agreed there, for as long as they can remember, there has never been a case of human trafficking within the county, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible and that’s why the seminar is necessary.

“It reinforces and brings (what we’ve learned) back to the

forefront of the law enforcement officer’s mind,” Bruss said, “because, not that they get complacent, but there’s so many other things that we’re looking for that it’s nice to get that little jolt to say, ‘Oh yeah. Let’s not forget about this.’”

While the seminar typically takes place in Indianapolis and other cities, Jeff Hobson, Wabash County Community Corrections director, helped make it a local event.

“We did this presentation this morning for school administrators, DCS (Department of Child Services), people from White’s (Residential and Family Services),

mental health agencies were here, we just felt like we wanted to make people aware of the potential for his,” Hobson told The Paper. “We’re not aware of anything right now, but I would rather be preventative with something like this.

“I think that law enforcement is the natural fit because they’re the ones that are going to deal with that, but we also targeted people that are working with kids. …

We thought it’d be a good idea to expose people in Wabash County to that just so we’re prepared in case something does happen like that.”

criminal case dismissed

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A Wabash attorney’s criminal case was dismissed Tuesday, March 14, following a motion granted in Miami County Circuit Court.

John Johnston, 79, Wabash, was acquitted of felony theft and misdemeanor conversion after he was criminally charged in November.

The charges stemmed from a report that Johnson had allegedly taken funds, amounting to $22,145, from a client

without consent, according to the probable cause affidavit.

On March 2, Johnston’s attorney Daniel Vanderpool made a motion to dismiss the charges for two reasons: the facts do not constitute an offense and the facts stated are vague and do not specify the offense with reasonable certainty as required by due process.

On March 14, Miami County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Spahr granted the motion and the cause was dismissed.

The early bird registration fee is $35 from now until May 31 with the price increasing to $45 beginning June 1.

Registration is available online, in person or over the phone.

Registration includes a free breakfast hosted by the Rock City Bike Club and Visit Wabash County, a free lunch hosted by Miller’s Merry Manor and a free commemorative T-shirt. Limited edition short-sleeved jerseys and long sleeved T-shirts will be available for purchase on the event’s website, visitwabashcounty.com/centuryride.

In 2016 the Dam to Dam attracted 600 cyclists to Wabash County from 12 different states across the U.S. “The D2D showcases the entire county,” said Christine Flohr, director of tourism for

Visit Wabash County and organizing liaison for the event. “The routes are designed to highlight the rural beauty and authentic history of Wabash County and its towns.”

The ride is designed to take riders over the Salamonie and Mississinewa Dam and around the Stockdale Dam. Riders experience 16 points of historic interest throughout the county. All of the routes are designed to showcase all of Wabash County during the changing of the season.

Participants have the option of choosing among five different route lengths: 100 (century), 62 (metric century), 50 (half century), 30 and 15 mile routes. Along each route the

event provides what is known as S.A.G. or Supplies and Gear stops which offer riders water, high protein, easily digestible foods and restroom facilities.

The average century route riders burns nearly 4,500 calories during the course of the ride.

Proceeds from the event are earmarked for upkeep of the signage along the Wabash County Bike Route, promoting and marketing Wabash County as an outdoor sports, recreation and fitness destination and overseeing the advancement of the event each year. The Dam to Dam Century Ride is organized in partnership between the Rock City Bike Club and Visit Wabash County.

“The team at Visit Wabash County is beyond excited to once again connect out of town guests to our entire county,” said Flohr. “This entire event is made possible by the extremely generous gifts we receive from so many gracious sponsors. We are truly grateful for their support.”

Ivy Tech honors student success at 8th annual Monopoly Night

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash Ivy Tech Community College honored student success while raising scholarship funds Friday, March 24, at its eighth annual Monopoly Night.

Since its creation in 2009, the event has grown as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued its primary goal of raising scholarship funds, according to Brad Thurmond, event founder and former executive director of the Wabash campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first year we did it, we had the Monopoly game, the silent auction â&#x20AC;Ś and then the proceeds, the agreement we all had with the chancellor then at the time was any money we raised stays in Wabash,â&#x20AC;? he told The Paper of Wabash County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember how much money we raised that first year, but the money that we raised stayed at the Wabash campus as scholarships for students.â&#x20AC;?

Thurmond, who now serves as vice chancellor of academic affairs for Ivy Tech Bloomington, explained that the event got its start at the request of the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s then-region chancellor. In July, the local Ivy Tech moved from the Kokomo region to the northeast region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wabash campus was a part of the Kokomo region (back then) and the chancellor in Kokomo at the time was Steve Daily,â&#x20AC;? he told The Paper of Wabash County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steve wanted all the campuses to have their own scholarship

program, so I had to come up with an idea for a scholarship program â&#x20AC;Ś and (I thought) that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do something different that would feel like our own thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we came up with this.â&#x20AC;?

The campus staff found items to donate to the silent auction, Thurmond continued, and Wabashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community was receptive and supported the cause.

Since then, the event has expanded to include a live auction, table sponsorship and highlight the success of students like Sheere Enser, one of the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keynote speakers.

Enser, a Wabash resident, said greatly benefited from the college and will receive her associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in general studies in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout my semesters here at Ivy Tech, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped me with my busy schedule working 4050 hours as a manager, being able to balance school and work schedule,â&#x20AC;? she told The Paper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with me on graduation, getting me through the last semester and working ... and pushing me through it.â&#x20AC;?

Without the local campus, college would not have been an option for Enser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ivy Tech has really benefited me and my parents,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m lucky enough to have my parents support me in going to school, but Ivy Tech really helped me financially. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ivy Tech offers a flexibility in schedules. I mostly took night classes and,

Laketon Legion hosts VA town hall

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

LAKETON — For the third year running, the Laketon American Legion Post No. 402 hosted officials from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs for a town hall last week.

Michael Stephens, director of the VA’s Indianapolis Regional Office, along with Debrah Kendrick and

Dr. Wayne McBride, presented information and fielded questions about the services and benefits offered to veterans.

Concerns mentioned by veterans present included difficulties accessing services and questions about sharing information between healthcare services and why appeals are backlogged.

Individuals were invited to discuss

more personal issues with one of the several VA staffers present.

Kendrick, who serves as the executive assistant for the National Cemeteries Administration, discussed recent changes in how veterans can apply to receive burial benefits from the VA. “The VA took [veteran input] into consideration, and they rolled out predetermination for eligibility for burial,” she said.

The new system allows veterans to apply for burial in national cemeteries, either by mail or fax or online, before death.

Kendrick said that veterans and spouses who apply and are eligible will receive a letter from the administration stating such, and that they “will be in the system” after that.

“It really works for the veteran and their

families… so now, they have that letter

Vietnam veteran William Shull (left) receives a pin from Michael Stephens, director of the Indianapolis Regional Office of the VA. All Vietnam veterans at the town hall who had not previously received a pin in honor of their service were invited to get one. Photo by David Fenker in hand that states that they’re eligible for burial,” she said.

She noted that selection of the burial plot itself is still handled at the time of need, regardless of predetermination status.

Jeff Ritter, a deputy veterans’ service officer for Wabash County, added that veterans should acquire and maintain possession of their Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214), which is required to receive burial and other veterans’ benefits.

He also asked that those present tell younger veterans to keep track of their paperwork.

McBride, who is the chief of staff of the Northern Indiana Healthcare System, discussed upcoming changes to VA medical facilities.

“We have four clinics that are scattered around Indiana… We will shortly be opening a new healthcare facility in Mishawaka. This is exciting for all of us,” he said.

McBride noted that the new clinic, called the Saint Joseph County Healthcare Center, will be up and running by the end of September, and that the current contracted facility in South Bend will be closed.

The more than 80,000 sq. ft. facility will have a staff of more 150 and offer sub-specialty, primary care and mental health services, among others.

Additionally, the Fort Wayne facility will be relocating its inpatient unit to the other side of the building for renovations, including private rooms with bathrooms. At least one addition is also

planned for the building, with a possible second to follow.

“We’ve entered a period of growth and excitement,” McBride said.

“It’s our intent to continue to provide great care here in northern Indiana.”

Stephens noted that he was there to present and receive information both good and bad, and that the town hall provided an opportunity to fulfil the VA’s mission to serve veterans.

Good news that he presented included that wait times are down to 90 days on average, compared to the high point of nearly 400 days on average four years ago.

Additionally, he said that the VA has established a presumptive service connection for service members who were exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune in North Caroline between Aug. 1, 1953, and Dec. 31, 1987, and developed certain diseases or disabilities.

Angela Thomas, an assistant service center manager, spoke further on the topic.

“Prior to the recent rule change, the VA acknowledged that a veteran or family member could potentially have a disability due to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

However, there were not specific presumptive disabilities that had been identified,” she said.

“As of March 14 of this year… the VA has identified eight presumptive disabilities associated with the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.”

The presumptive disabilities are adult leukemia, aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syn(continued on page 27)

economical investment before they transfer to a four-year college.”

The college’s goal is to build the workforce by building individuals of all ages and situations, not just outgoing high school students, she added.

Thurmond, who has worked at Ivy Tech for 25 years, agreed and added that there’s no other college like it.

“I enjoy the fact

that if you work at Ivy Tech and you work with students, you get an opportunity to be part of their success,” he said. “A lot of our students juggle family, work, they have full lives plus college.

“In some ways, it’s kind of humbling to see how much they have manage in addition to going to school to be successful and learn, make not only their lives better but the lives of their fam-

ily, and set examples for their kids for sacrifice and dedication to their goals.”

The best day of the year, he added, is graduation.

“It’s always the best because you see these students that work so hard, made a lot of sacrifices, and you get to see them cross the finish line,” Thurmond said. “So I really like it. I love working at Ivy Tech.”

dromes, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, multiple myeloma, nonHodgkin’s lymphoma and Parkinson’s disease.

Stephens added that service members must have served a total of 30 days at Camp Lejeune in order to qualify.

Bad news also centered on wait times, focusing on appeals.

“Veterans who file a notice of disagreement, or an appeal, on our initial decision – those folks are waiting, on average, three years to get an

answer,” he said.

Veterans whose appeals are not granted and seek a higher-level review are waiting an average of five years.

“If we don’t do anything about it – and when I say we, I mean your government – if we don’t do anything about that, those numbers are likely to double in 10 years,” he said.

“It’s unacceptable where it’s at right now. It’s very much unacceptable in 10 years if we don’t do anything about it.”

Stephens noted

that dependency claims are also backlogged, and told those present that using the VA’s eBenefits program (www.ebenefits.va.gov) may be the most efficient way to handle them.

“You can file claims electronically; they go right into our system.

You can upload medical evidence directly; it goes right into our system,” he said.

He noted that CVSOs can assist veterans with enrolling in the program and creating an account.
