Work on old jail progressing By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com Restoration work on the old Wabash County Jail and Sheriff ’s House is expected to be completed this fall. That’s what Paul Hayden, director of the Indiana Landmarks Northeast Field Office, told the Wabash County Board of Commissioners at its July 31 meeting. “Literally, we’re working from

Volunteers clean up river By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com More than 110 Wabash County residents trekked through the Wabash River Saturday morning, July 29, to remove tires and debris during the Wabash River Defenders’ annual “Clean Out the Banks.” From the Huntington County

line westward, locals waded through 19 miles of the river in search of trash and dumped items to clear out and properly dispose of. “Hey Wabash River Defenders, it’s a great day,” Michael Beauchamp, organization founder, said receiving cheers from the crowd Saturday morning. “We’re going to get

wet today!” The Wabash River Defenders, a nonprofit organization focused on educating, reviving and maintaining the Wabash River running through Wabash County, began the annual clean out in 2011. Since then, defenders have pulled out more than 124 tons of (continued on page 4)

The major improvement at this time is the roof and gutting system… the cornices had large holes in them with pigeons coming in and out; those have been rebuilt, the roof ’s been rebuilt, the cupula has been repaired and reroofed, and gutters and downspouts have been installed,” Hayden said. Additional work thus far includes the completion of inte(continued on page 5)

WRT hearing set Aug. 24 in Indy By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com COLUMBIA CITY – A hearing on a stop work order at the site of the Lagro boat ramp will take place Aug. 24 in Indianapolis. The hearing came at the request of opponents to the ramp, which was created by the Wabash River Trail as part of its plans for a 33-mile bike route through the county. Administrative Law Judge Sandra Jensen also will hear a

status update that day on a second matter concerning the river, an appeal to a pedestrian bridge to be built over the Lagro Creek. Those were the results of two hearings on Thursday, July 27, on appeals of the Department of Natural Resource’s issuance of after-the-fact permits to WRT for the boat ramp and for the pedestrian bridge. The hearings were at the DNR’s District 2 Conservation Officer (continued on page 5)

Gouveia wins pageant crown By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Alyson Gouveia took home the crown at the 27th annual Wabash County Festivals Queen Pageant Friday night, July 28. Gouveia told The Paper of Wabash County she’s excited to take on her role as a representative of Wabash County. “I think it’s an honor to represent Wabash County,” Gouveia said. “We are a small community, but we have so much to offer. The people are great and to be the face at the festivals is truly

an honor. “So I’m excited to do that and I hope to represent us well.” A Southwood High School graduate, Gouveia is currently studying elementary education and teaching English as a second language at Ball State University with plans to graduate in 2018. Prior to Friday night, Gouveia has competed in the Wabash County Festivals Queen Pageant on three other occasions, earning the first runner up title in 2014 and second runner up designations in 2013 and

2015. As queen, Gouveia will be attending Wabash County’s various festivals during the next year. She will also be attending a variety of state events as a representative of Wabash County. However, Gouveia added, she hopes to do more. “I would really like to see the Festivals Court expand as far as what we do,” she explained. “We attend a lot of festivals, but I would like to see us engage more in a service aspect, volunteering and doing different (continued on page 6)

Speed limits on some Wabash City streets around schools will be changing. The Wabash City Council on Monday approved the changes on two readings, meaning they will be in effect when school begins on Aug. 9. The speeds on the following streets will decrease from 25 miles per hour to 20 mph: — Alber Street, from Cass Street to Mitten Drive. — Stefanatos Drive in its entirety. — North Wabash Street from Sheridan Street to Stefanatos Drive. Likewise, the speed limit on Colerain Street between Miami Street and Apache Drive will increase from 15 mph to 20

mph. Speed limits on Harrison Avenue from Miami to Alber streets, and Miami Street from Stitt Street to Harrison Avenue have increased from 20 mph to 25 mph. Those caught speeding within a school zone will face fines of not less than $1 and not more than $500, according to the ordinance. One section of roadway – Hale Drive from Arrick to North Vernon streets – were removed from the school zone speed limits, as there is no longer a school along the road. Mayor Scott Long said that Street Superintendent Scott Richardson reviewed the ordinance and requested the changes. “There were speed limits listed on streets

where there previously elementary schools and those schools no longer exist,” the mayor said. “So we cleaned it up, basically.” In another matter, the council approved an ordinance changing the day that downtown streets are swept. Streets are now cleaned early Monday mornings. That is changing to Fridays from 1-7 a.m. Long said it makes sense to clean the streets on Friday mornings, prior to weekend activities downtown. The area in question includes Canal and Market streets, Miami Street north to Hill Street, Hill Street east to Wabash Street and Wabash Street south to Market Street. The ordinance provides for marking the street with signs warning residents. Those who don’t move their vehicles will be fined between $1 and $10. The measure was u n a n i m o u s l y approved on first reading. It will be considered again when the council meets on Aug. 14. Council member Mitch Figert requested that Richardson send a letter to downtown apartment buildings to notify them of the change.

Karsyn’s legacy lives on Kickball teams help raise funds for cancer research By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Eighteen teams spent part of Saturday, July 29, playing kickball and, more importantly, remembering the short but touching life of Karsyn Bratch. The fourth annual Kick it for Karsyn kickball tourney took place at four diamonds at the Morrett Sports Complex. Karsyn was diagnosed with cancer when she was 4years-old and battled the disease for eight years before succumbing to it in October 2015, just weeks after the second annual kickball tourney. She was generous, friendly, and had a positive outlook no matter how she was feeling, something that inspired all who knew her. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Jeff Gordon C h i l d r e n ’ s Foundation’s Pediatric Cancer Research Lab at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. Since the event began, Kick it for Karsyn has raised more than $85,000 for pediatric cancer research. Karysn’s stepfather, Bill Burchett, welcomed everyone to the event during opening ceremonies. “I want to thank everyone for taking time to come on this great day to this event,” he said. “It means a lot to us. It means a lot to the Jeff Gordon Children’s F o u n d a t i o n . Ultimately what we do here today winds up a Riley Hospital. “Jeff Gordon is a huge supporter of the pediatric cancer research lab at Riley Hospital.” The tourney meant a lot to Karsyn, he continued. “It means a lot to our family,” he said. “We appreciate everyone coming out and being a part of this.” Larry Graff, event coordinator for the Jeff Gordon C h i l d r e n ’ s Foundation, also greeted the crowd. “Karsyn was the founder of this

event,” he said. “She was my friend, my inspiration, the greatest champion I will ever know.” Each year, 360 Indiana children are diagnosed with cancer, he noted, and the vast majority seek treatment at Riley Hospital. “One thing I tell people when they ask me about Karsyn,” Graff continued, “is that she may have had cancer, but cancer did not have Karsyn. She truly lived like that. She understood and appreciated the beauty in everything. She loved being around people. “And, I know, she’s smiling down knowing just how many people came out to

vent pediatric cancer, but it raises awareness. It is through organizations like the Jeff Gordon C h i l d r e n ’ s

Graff attended Childhood Cancer Day in Washington, D.C., and visited with U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski and talked to her about Karsyn. “It was such an honor to share Karsyn’s story with her,” he said. Following the meeting, Walorski agreed to co-sponsor the Childhood Cancer Star Act, which focuses on childhood cancer survivorship, treatment, access and research. In addition,

she joined the Childhood Cancer Caucus, a bi-partisan group, in honor of Karsyn. Graff read a statement from Walorski, who was unable to attend Saturday’s event. “As you engage in today’s games, we pause to remember Karsyn Bratch and her courageous fight against cancer,” he read. “Your participation not only raises vital resources necessary to study and pre-

debris and 4,800 tires from the river, a feat that would not have been possible without the support of individuals and organizations throughout the community, according to Steve Johnson, WRD committee member. “It’s been a Godsend for the River Defenders to be able to rely on the Solid Waste M a n a g e m e n t District to take care of those tires and many of the other costs for getting rid

of the material that’s pulled out of the river,” Johnson told the crowd Saturday morning, “but most specifically we couldn’t do any of this without all of you. We appreciate it so much. “We’ve been doing this now since 2011 and we’ve removed 4,800 tires, a car, the front end of a bus, high powered rifles and over 124 tons of just regular trash and debris. About 82 percent of that has been recycled, which

is a pretty major accomplishment.” While Saturday’s formal event kicked off at 8:30 a.m. at Paradise Spring Historical Park, Beauchamp told The Paper of Wabash County that some groups were already in the water. “We have a 110 signed up for today and it’s always been this way,” Beauchamp said, later adding, “I’m thrilled with the turnout. We don’t have the numbers

like we did several years ago, but I don’t think it’s a change in enthusiasm. I think it’s a change in how many people we need. “You’re not going to see a big pile of debris today and it’s not impacted by the number of people. It’s impacted by the (amount) of debris in the river.” By 1:30 p.m., groups drug more than 20 tires, a flat screen television, bicycles, road construction material, several tons of metal and trash out of the river and onto its banks to be properly removed. The volunteers that gave up their Saturday morning had a “mindset to care.” “It is so heartfelt that people give up their Saturday morning to come out and help care for the Wabash River,” Keith Poole, WRD committee member, said. Before setting out, however, the organizing committee recognized two defenders that have given their time to the cause since the WRD’s foundation. “Each year, we select a person or a couple that have exhibited a great love for the river and

contributed a great effort for our cause,” Beauchamp said. Beauchamp and Johnson presented Gary and Susan Hunter with the title of Tall Sycamore of the Wabash. “No people have organized more land and water teams to bring more tires and debris from the Huntington County line to the City of Wabash than Gary Hunter,” Beauchamp said. “No one has stuck closer to Gary’s side than his special wife, Susan. She’s been there all along. “Gary and Susan together were among that small cadre of people at the Lagro café in February 2011 when a commitment was shared with that group of people to clean up the Wabash (continued on page 5)

This is continuing, obviously, her legacy so other kids don’t have to go through that.” The competition was divided into two divisions – Family Friendly and C o m p e t i t ive. Defending Family Friendly champions Northfield High School Class of 2021, won that division again, while defending Competitive champions Wabash CrossFit, retained its title.

rior and exterior demolition, as well as planning for several other projects that will need advertised for bids. “We’re very pleased where we’re at on this. We’re right on target for the scheduling that we talked about back in the spring, and our budget is right on target as well, so we expect to see early fall completion,” Hayden said. Indiana Landmarks acquired the jail and sheriff ’s house from the county in March 2017, saving it from demolition. The organization intends to use part of the building for its

Wabash office, and will rent out additional office space. The commissioners agreed to the transfer – which included the property and $75,000 that would have been spent on demolition – in part because of the ability to collect tax money from that rented space, as well as to save the historic structure. Indiana Landmarks matched the county’s $75,000 to restore the facility, totaling at least $150,000 in work being done to preserve the building and restore it to its original look. One of the final pieces needing restoration is the

front porch. “The biggest project that we will have in the future is the restoration of the front porch,” Hayden said. “I don’t have an exact [cost for that restoration], because the drawings have gone down to the state for their approval, then they come back and I have to bid those out.” Hayden estimated that it would take four weeks for the proposal to be approved, and that work would begin after Labor Day. He said that the recently demolished porch was probably built in the 1920s, and

was in bad condition. The proposal for the restoration in a scaled-down version of the porch on the Wabash County Courthouse. “We surmised that it’s probably very similar to the original porch in that both our building and your building were built in the same year by the same architect,” Hayden said. Additionally, the current steel front door to the old jail building will be removed, and Indiana Landmarks has commissioned a local mill to make two large oak doors to replace it, which the organiza-

tion believes will be similar to the building’s original doors. The mill shop is not the only local company hired by Indiana Landmarks; according to Hayden, nearly all the contractors involved in the project came from the Wabash Building Department’s referral list. Hayden also noted that the Wabash Historic Preservation Commission has reviewed all the work done to the building.

Headquarters in Columbia City. The hearing for the stop work order came after, Dustin Kern, attorney for the petitioners, Glenn and Sheila Butcher, issued such an order until a teleconference status update hearing on the complaint takes place on Nov. 2. “Is the work still taking place?” Jensen asked. “I thought the last time we were here it was already done.” Mrs. Butcher said the group is still working, citing several things, including the creation of a fire pit. WRT attorney Mark Frantz asked Jensen to remind the petitioners that when it comes to a stop-work order, the only area she can rule on is that area which falls within the flood plain. The work Mrs. Butcher cited, he said, all falls outside the flood plain. While Jensen did schedule a hearing, she did add, “if the parties can come to terms that the work will stop voluntarily, until such time that this is resolved, then

so be it.” Jensen did dismiss a motion from Frantz to dismiss the appeal in its entirety, claiming the Butchers’ claim that the construction would have an adverse impact on their property as being untrue. The couple, he contended, live many miles away from the ramp and would not be impacted by it. Jensen said that it was up to the couple to prove if they would

be impacted and how. She did not rule on Frantz’s second motion to dismiss the appeal about the

Gouveia wins pageant crown “I liked that she wanted to do more outreach in the community, not just attend festivals and not that that’s a bad thing,” Lebo added. “But she wanted to do some outreach to other programs and bring the girls (her court) along with her to do community service.” Joining her on the Queen’s Court will be Director’s Award Winner Alex Peterson, Miss Friendship Alexis Wagoner, third runner up Alexis Rose, second runner up Jordan Michel and first runner up Danielle Sparling.

growth Gouviea has experienced through the pageant “is the biggest part of this and what kept me coming back aside from the friendship that you gain from the girls,” she told The Paper. “It’s a wonderful experience to build your confidence and you gain a lot of valuable skills for interviewing,” she explained. “Being put on the spot with the on-stage question, I told my little sister (Kyrstin) if you can answer an on-stage question you can conquer the world, and that was really cool to compete this year with her too.”

Before Gouveia’s predecessor Mikayla Ridgeway passed on the crown, Ridgeway said her farewell and recounted her year as Wabash County’s ambassador. “I can’t believe this year has already come to an end and I’m so excited for the next girl to get to go on this journey,” Ridgeway said. “I’ve learned through my

experiences that becoming involved in a program like this is so much more than just winning a title or getting to wear a sparkly crown.

Enjoy the journey. I know I sure did.”

Ceremony dedicates South Side Park complete By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com South Side Park, located at 1470 Vernon St. in Wabash, is complete and ready to be played on. The park’s project committee officials dedicated the renovated space with an informal ceremony Friday evening, July 28. “I just want to thank everybody,” Mitch Figert, committee co-chair and Wabash City Council member, said to a group of 15 people that gathered to celebrate the occasion. “It’s been at least two years ago when (committee co-chair) Jordan Tandy came to me and we had this beautiful idea. Hanna Park had been completed and South Side Park was looking in disrepair. It was a nice space, but the equipment had been aged and things were broken. “There were a lot of failings in the area and Jordan said he had interested in doing another project. I never have time for another project, but I agreed any ways and from there the committee was born and Kiwanis, of course, graciously came on board.” To watch the park transform has “been really neat,” he continued. A $10,000 donation from the Wabash Kiwanis Club “got the project of the

ground” and the City of Wabash made a commitment to match the amount, according to officials in an October 2016 press release. As donations came in, the project committee announced that it surpassed its $50,000 funding goal in February, hitting a little over $52,000, after it received a $4,000 from the Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook Off committee and a $10,000 grant from the Kiwanis Children’s Fund of Kiwanis International. Renovations to the park included a new playground set and resurfaced basketball court complete with new basketball goals. The committee hosted a volunteer workday on July 15 to add some final touches to the area before opening it to the public. Volunteers assisted with painting the pavilion and existing play equipment, spread mulch around the new play set, and collected and hauled away trash and debris.

The South Side Park Project invested more than $50,000 in the playground space located at 1470 Vernon St. in Wabash. The project renovated the park’s playground system and resurfaced the basketball court, providing new backboards as well. Photo by Emma Rausch

ty have already explored the new play set’s tunnels and climbed its ladders. “I think what spoke volumes is over the last week I’ve kind of watched and this whole section of Pike Street has been parked full every night,” he said, “and last night (Thursday) I counted and there were 15 to 20 people in here, and not the hoodlums we had before. … It’s really great to see. “I’ve heard tons of positive comments from the neighborhood and even people who don’t live on the south side. … It is a great addition to the park system.” Elvin Tack, Wabash Kiwanis Club secretary, said he’d echo Figert’s sentiments. “It’s been fun and two years in the making, I guess,” Tack said. “Now we thank everybody in the community that has contributed to our

fundraisers and especially the Kiwanis Foundation that wrote some great grants. It’s very good. “I see a lot of people out here during the day, too.” Figert added that as far as fundraising, “we’re not done.”

“We’d still like to see some benches and some other things,” he explained. “I’m hoping families who see this feel inspired to support not only this park, but when you talk about future park improvements.”

THE PAPER

August 2, 2017

Local author to speak at NM library By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — Local author Karla Akins will speak at the North Manchester Public Library at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 3. She will be talking about her recently released book, “A Pair of Miracles: A Story of Autism, Faith, and D e t e r m i n e d Parenting.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated one in 68 children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although a growing number of parents face similar circumstances, many still feel isolated and alone.

In “A Pair of Miracles: A Story of Autism, Faith, and D e t e r m i n e d Parenting,” Akins, the mother of twin sons with autism, offers encouragement and reassurance. It was not long after Akins and her husband brought their adopted sons home from the hospital they realized the boys were not behaving and developing as they should. A few months later they learned the boys were on the fetal alcohol disorders spectrum, and by the time they were 4, they were diagnosed with autism. Twenty years ago, autism was not as prevalent as it is today, and Akins admits she knew nothing about it.

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

When she voiced her hopes her autistic sons could learn to read and function independently, doctors warned her those expectations would never be met. Despite those warnings, she set out to prove all things are possible through God. Laced with humor and compassion, “A Pair of Miracles” is the heartwarming story of the Akins family’s journey of raising Isaac and Isaiah. However, the book is more than a moving biography from a mom on the front lines. It is a powerful tool, full of practical help for parents, educators and church members working with children who have intellectual disabilities, speech impairments

and other limitations on the autism spectrum. It is also a challenge to the church to welcome and celebrate all of its members, no matter their abilities. “I hope families and caregivers will be encouraged by reading about our journey and might gain a few ideas on how to work with their child,” Akins said. “I also hope they will feel like they’re not alone in the struggle. I know I like to read books that validate what I’m feeling. It’s always good to know you’re not the only one in the trenches, fighting the good fight of day-to-day survival with autism.” For parents seeking hope, answers and peace, Akins

COLUMBIA CITY 119 Hoosier Drive 260-244-4111

leads the way to all three down a path she’s already been. In addition to the inspiration, lessons learned and advice for becoming your child’s best advocate in all aspects of life given throughout the book, she includes appendices, offering: therapy and teaching strategies, listings of autism organizations and websites, skills checklists and suggestions for additional reading resources and online apps. Thanks in large part to Akins’ determination, faith and unconditional love, her adult twins are now able to function independently in many ways, contrary to doctors’ predictions. They help their dad install pools, do carpentry

work and serve in the church as ushers, sound engineers and children’s ministry workers. However, she warns, “Autism is

HUNTINGTON 2808 Theater Ave., Suite B 260-356-2220

different in every person. It’s a spectrum disorder, which means people fall on a wide spectrum.

The Indiana Department of Education surveys school corporations annually for stop arm violations on one given day, and reports those numbers to the National Association of State Directors for Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS). There are just more than 16,000 school buses on the road in Indiana, and according to the yearly statistics, as the number of school buses on the

road has increased, so has the number of school bus stop arm violations. The Indiana State Police would like to remind motorists of the Indiana law concerning school buses, flashing lights and stop arms. Remember, when approaching a school bus, from any direction, which is stopped with its flashing red lights activated and its stop arm extended, motorists are required to stop, even on multiple lane highways. Motorists who are on a highway that is divided by a barrier or unimproved median (i.e. a concrete or cable barrier, or a grass median) are required to stop only if they are traveling the same direction as the school bus. If there is no unimproved median or bar-

rier, then all lanes in all directions must stop. When approaching a school bus always be prepared to stop and watch for stopped traffic. Disregarding a school bus stop arm is a serious violation and one that school bus drivers are quick to report. Violation of this law is a Class “A” infraction and is punishable by a maximum fine of up to $10,000. The Indiana State

Barn lost to fire A northern Wabash County barn was lost to a fire late Saturday night. According to Pleasant Township Fire Department (PTFD) Chief Kent Trickle, the department was dispatched around 10 p.m. Saturday, July 29 to a barn fire on 300 W., north of 1300 N. By the time the firefighters arrived, the livestock had been evacuated and the hay-filled barn was fully engulfed. Despite efforts to extinguish the fire, including using an excavator to knock down the east side to gain access to the interior, the structure was completely destroyed. Due to the extent of the damage, the cause of the fire cannot be determined, Trickle said. While traveling to

A Milford man is facing felony reckless homicide in connection to a 2016 rural Wabash County accident that resulted in the death of a North Manchester resident. Donald Fecher, 61, was booked into the Wabash County Jail for the charge on Friday, July 21. The charge stems from a crash that took place on May 20, 2016, on Wabash County Road 100 East at Wabash County Road 1400 North. P r o s e c u t o r William Hartley Jr. confirmed the case connection with The Paper of Wabash County Monday morning, July 31. According to the 2016 Indiana State Police news release about the accident:

DONALD FECHER At approximately 8:42 a.m., officers from Indiana State Police and the Wabash County S h e r i f f ’ s Department responded to a two-vehicle crash on County Road 100 East at County Road 1400 North. The preliminary crash investigation, conducted by Trooper Michael Biggs, revealed that Fecher was driving a 2007 Hyundai Azero eastbound on CR 1400 North,

approaching CR 100 East, when he allegedly failed to completely stop for a stop sign at the intersection. The Hyundai pulled onto CR 100 East and hit the driver’s side of a northbound 2002 Ford Explorer driven by David Christian, 62, of rural North Manchester. After the crash impact, both vehicles came to rest in a field northeast of the intersection. Christian was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a seatbelt, which Biggs stated he believed could have prevented his fatal injuries, according to the report. Fecher was transported by ambulance to a Kosciusko County hospital with minor injuries. Fecher was wearing a seatbelt, which (continued on page 18)

Wabash County receives hazard mitigation grant By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com Thanks to a nearly $17,000 grant from Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Wabash County will soon begin updating its hazard mitigation plan. Wabash County E m e r g e n c y Management Agency Director Keith Walters presented information about the grant at the July 31 meeting of the Wabash County Board of Commissioners. “I was notified by the Department of Homeland Security that they have authorized $16,738 for us to update our FEMA Hazard Mitigation Plan. It’s a reimbursement grant,” he said. “The plan is to look for areas throughout the county that may be able to apply for grant funding.” He used the trailer park in North Manchester known for flooding as an

example of a site that could use grant money to mitigate a disaster The grant comes with a local match of $5,579. According to Walters, hazard mitigation is the term used to describe efforts to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. Hazard mitigation plans approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are required for receiving certain disaster assistance, such as assistance for mitigation projects. The commissioners approved Walters’ request to update the county’s plan. The commissioners also approved the purchase of a new computer for County Assessor Kelly Schenkel. “I’ve been struggling with my computer all summer – I think it’s even been longer than that,” she

said. “Just this morning, I spent a whole hour trying to print out this book, and it didn’t even print.” According to Joe Wright, a network engineer with I n t r a s e c t Technologies, the machine is at least six years old. He said that he usually replaces computers after three years. The commissioners approved a replacement machine valued at $1,784, which includes the cost of the hardware, software and labor. The funds will come from two county line items, as the assessor’s office did not budget for a replacement this year. A d d i t i o n a l l y, County Attorney Steve Downs notified the board that the county’s policy regarding employee overpayments contradicts state statute, and presented a resolution to remedy the contradiction in Section 409

of the county’s employee handbook. The resolution was tabled until next week. According to Downs, the county’s policy is to deduct the full amount of an overpayment from that employee’s next paycheck. State statute, he said, only allows for up to 25 percent of the employee’s take-home amount to be deducted. “It’s essentially the garnishment withhold statute, so it’s approximately 25 percent of take-home that is permitted,” he said. Additional news from the commissioners’ meeting included approval for an Oct. 14 wedding on the Roann Covered Bridge, as well as the weekly sheriff ’s report. According to Sheriff Bob Land, the county is holding 88 inmates in the Wabash County Jail, with 40 being held in Miami County, eight in Elkhart County and seven in Wells County.

MSD Board continues budget talks By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The MSD of Wabash County Board of Education continued its 2018 budget discussions Tuesday night, July 25. After discussing the organization’s Rainy Day, Transportation Debt Service and School Pension Debt funds on July 11, the board moved on to Bus Replacement Plan and Capital Projects Fund, which are budgeted for but their use depends on the board’s determination of necessity, according to Chris Kuhn, MSD assistant superintendent of finance. Kuhn proposed a $467,345 budget for the Bus Replacement Plan and a $4,711,229 budget for the Capital Projects Fund for 2018.

The monies in these two funds must be budgeted for, but the board does not have to spend the funds if its members deem it unnecessary, Kuhn explained. The Bus Replacement Plan is a fund that meets a 12year plan, he continued. “We have to come up with a plan that shows when our buses—they don’t actually expire after 12 years, but we have to put them on a 12-year cycle,” he explained. “We can actually use them for longer, but after 12 years, buses have to go through two inspections. “Sometimes buses make it to 12 years, sometimes they go past 12 years and sometimes they don’t make it to 12 years, and so this (fund) kind of depends. … We moni-

tor that throughout the years and then we estimate what it’s going to cost to buy a bus at that point in time and then that total for that year is used to determine what you ask for in your Bus Replacement Plan. “So the buses that are expiring or the ones that we’re not going to be using or needing, we equal out to $466,445,” he continued. “So that’s what we’re going to ask for in our Bus Replacement Plan to purchase new buses.” Meanwhile, the Capital Projects Fund is a “built” three-year plan, according to Kuhn. “When you build a Capital Project budget, you build a three-year plan,” he said. There is a master plan for the entire fund that is broken down by

MU to host white coat ceremony From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — The Manchester University annual White Coat Ceremony for the pharmacy Class of 2021 is 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 4, in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus. Seating opens at 4:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

The ceremony is a rite of passage for students beginning their study of pharmacy in Manchester’s four-year doctoral program. This year, the ceremony will feature a special keynote address from Dr. Andrea Whitaker, a graduate of Manchester’s 2016 inaugural pharmacy class. Originally from Warsaw, the Fort Wayne resident is an

MU instructor of pharmacy practice and was recently hired into Manchester’s postgraduate residency program in Fort Wayne. The university is now recruiting for its new Pharmacy Early Assurance Program for incoming first-year undergraduate students interested in pursuing a path to becoming a pharmacist

facility into a threeyear plan, he continued. Kuhn stressed to that while these projects are budgeted for, the board does not have to act on setting them in motion. “Those three year plans can vary based on, one, the amount of funds you actually have and, two, the needs as they come up or arise at that point in time,” Kuhn said, “but you kind of want to schedule and map it out saying, ‘Within the

next three years or so, these are some of the (projects) that will be coming up down the road or some of the things we want to take a look at as a corporation based off of needs or programming or whatever we might want to do.’” Line items designated in the fund include projects for each of the corporation’s seven facilities. These projects include replacing carpet, repairing clocks and sidewalks, re-flooring gymnasi-

ums and updating the HVAC system in some of the buildings. In other news, the board voted 3-0 to approve the Local Income Tax D i s t r i b u t i o n Resolution, which appropriated $22,432.67 of Local Income Tax funds into four of the corporation’s funds. The funds were appropriated as follows: • Debt Service: $9,821.80 • Capital Projects Fund: $7,331.65

• Transportation Fund: $4,457.18 • Bus Replacement: $22.04 Kuhn noted that, due to a change in state regulations, the board can change how it disperses the funds. “However, right now, I would suggest distributing those funds as we have been doing,” he said. “So down the road, we may look at distributing those funds a little bit differently going into next year.”

County Council approves more than $100,000 in additional appropriations By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Council approved more than $100,000 in additional appropriations Monday night, July 24, with the majority of the funds moved to assist the Wabash County Coroner and Wabash County Solid Waste District budgets.

In total, the Council approved $112,925.30 with $51,700 for the Coroner’s Office, $59,300 for the Solid Waste District, $1,056.30 for the S h e r i f f ’ s Department and $419 for the Veteran Service Officer. Coroner Suzie Lewis requested $50,000 for autopsy current and anticipated expenses as

well as office supplies, biohazard supplies and deputies salaries. “My office is already in the hole,” Lewis told the council. “I have done 12 overdose autopsies so far this year and I’m on number 33 autopsies already. Back when I got my autopsy money in May, I was broke so I’ve got to pay those and I’m only at half

of the year.” Chairman Jeff Dawes reminded the council that a portion of Lewis’s beginning budget in 2017 was used to pay off expenses from 2016. Dawes also noted that there was a change in Indiana law that requires autopsies to be performed on all overdose cases. “That is correct,” Lewis said. “All overdoses in the state of Indiana have to be autopsied as of January 2017.” “That’s part of the reason why she’s had

to do more, had to get more autopsies done,” Dawes added, “and if you remember when we did the budgets, I don’t think we (included autopsy) increases in that budget. So we knew that we’d have to appropriate some of that in Suzie’s budget.” In 2016, the coroner’s office conducted 65 autopsies and “I’ve done 33 so far this year,” Lewis said. “But last year was a big year for us,” she continued. “The year before we had only

done 35 or 40 for the whole year. But (state officials) told us when we at conference last year in June that this law was coming and they were trying to get this law for autopsies for drug overdoses passed. “So I think we started (implementing it) midway last year.” The Solid Waste District requested $54,000 for materials management and $5,300 for facility repairs and maintenance, Jen Rankin, district executive

director, told the council. “The second (appropriation request) is for materials management,” she explained. “Basically what it is the cost of dealing with materials that we take in is just going up faster than the ABGQ will allow for our budget. So unfortunately, every year, I have to come in and ask for an additional appropriation there. “It’s primarily, the biggest cost is still televisions and CRTs are the biggest culprit. Basically there’s only two markets in the world that recycle the CRT glass, which are Spain and India, and Spain is shut down. So there are literally rail cars that are just sitting with loads of them and with that the price has gone up all over.” Rankin informed the council that there are counties in southern Indiana that pay $75 a set to recycle. “I’m still pretty fortunate that I’ve been with the same vendor for a while and he’s doing it for me for 25 cents a pound,” she continued, “but when the average CRT weighs 100 pounds, it adds up pretty quickly.” The council motioned to approved all of the appropriations 7-0.

FW Museum of Art features Wabash artist By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Fort Wayne Museum of Art will be featuring Wabashbased artist Terry Pulley starting Saturday, Aug. 5. Through Oct. 1, the museum’s Paradigm Gallery will exhibit 27 pieces of Pulley’s work, including some new artworks, in the series “Terry Pulley: New Abstractions.” “It’s an honor and I think it’s a thrill,” Pulley told The Paper of Wabash County. A self-taught artist, Pulley has been painting for nearly 50 years. Throughout the decades he has painted in three styles: impressionism, fauvism and expressionism, or

abstract. His latest series of abstract paintings were what caught the eye of the Fort Wayne museum’s curators, according to Elizabeth Goings, exhibitions content manager. “We have been collecting Terry’s work for the last few years,” Goings told The Paper. “We have a number of his landscapes, his more traditional works if you will that he’s created throughout his career, and he is very well known with us. He’s shown works at our gallery here at the museum and so we were really excited when he brought this new work to us, which is more abstract. It’s not at all like his old style. “So we were excited

TERRY PULLEY to be a part of that new transition in his career.” Goings later added that the museum’s partnership with Pulley presents a special opportunity for the exhibit’s visitors. “It’s one of the special instances where you have a very professional, blue chip artist who is from our local

area that you’re not only able to see the work, but you’re able to go down to his gallery in Wabash, Alley Dog Fine Art Gallery, and you’re able to have a personal experience with the art and with Terry,” she explained. There’s something more to Pulley’s artwork, according to the museum’s officials. “You can really tell within the art that Terry is really excited and passionate about this new progression in his career,” Goings said. “In some of his earlier landscapes that he showed us, none that are actually a part of the show, you can tell that he was still kind of working within a landscape, but he abstracted it a lot. “But now you can

NM Historical Society program to feature Indiana Dunes By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — The North Manchester Historical Society’s August program presents the video “Shifting Sands: On the Path to Sustainability.” The 2016 video was produced in collaboration with Lakeshore Public Television and has been shown on Public Television

stations in Northwest Indiana. The program will be in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest Retirement Center, 2201 East St., at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 14. “Shifting Sands” tells the story of how the region, where rare plants grow in the shadows of smokestacks, sparked a movement for a national park; a movement which

eventually led to game-changing environmental policies with world-wide impact. The collision of a globally rare environment with the industrial giants that built our nation became a microcosm for one of the most pressing issues of our time: sustainability. According to NM Historical Society President Mary Chrastil, the Indiana

Dunes are a exceptional environment with an incredible range of biological diversity. “I grew up in Gary; we visited the dunes all the time and took them for granted. I know people from Wabash County also love the dunes,” she said. “What I didn’t realize was that the dunes are an amazing and uncommon environment that attract people from

all over the world. And I wasn’t aware enough about the battles being fought for their control.” The program is open to the public at no cost and will be enjoyable for audiences of all ages. Come to see this quality production and learn more about a precious natural phenomenon practically in our back yard.

Paperworks receives 10-year tax abatement By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

P a p e r w o rk s Industries received a 10-year tax abatement to build a 45,000square-foot warehouse at its facility. The Wabash City Council unanimously approved the request when it met Monday, July 24. “This is a great project,” Paperworks

General Manager Chris Wetherford said. “It’s great for the company. It’s great for the community. “It’s a big project and is going to take several months to complete.” He said it will be at least mid-December before the warehouse is ready for use. The warehouse will allow the company to move items from

three outside warehouses in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Huntington to Wabash. “We are paying three outside warehouses … for 6,900 tons of paper,” Wetherford said. “You multiply that by $30 per ton, per month, and it adds up very quick.” Keeping the items in town and connect-

ed to the existing plant “means a lot to everybody,” he added. In another matter, the council approved a residential tax abatement for Brian Evans, who plans to build three houses on the south side of Wabash over the next three years. This abatement is for a 1,440 square foot home, he said, noting that he’ll be back over the next two years to

seek abatements for the other two homes. Finally, the council heard from Jenny Wilson, director of the local Blessings in a Backpack program. She explained the program, which provides food for more than 500 elementary school students on the weekends during the school year, ensuring they have nutritious meals on the weekend.

Young Farmers collect food for local pantries C o m m u n i t y Cupboard (located at the Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center), F.I.S.H., and the Fellowship Food Pantry in North Manchester. “This is great,” Renbarger said of the donations. “I was not expecting this much of a good turnout. “Some people brought in 50 cans. I was very happy with how it worked out. I know it’s going to go to good use.”

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Visitors to the Wabash County 4-H Fair donated more than 1,200 pounds of non-perishable food to be split among three food pantries across the county. Sponsored by the Wabash County Farm Bureau Young Farmers, donors were able to receive one ticket to the Indiana State Fair for every five items of non-perishable food donated the week of the fair. This is the second year that the group has had this food drive. Last year, Young Farmers President Adam Renbarger said, more than 950 pounds of food was donated. The food will be distributed among the Living Well

Siegel awarded spring 2017 history prize

HUNTINGTON — The Huntington University History & Political Science Department has presented the spring 2017 Jack P. Barlow, Sr., History Book Prize to Kurtis Siegel, senior, for academic excellence in the class “Britain and the End of Empire.” The Jack P. Barlow, Sr., History Book Prize provides a cash award for book purchases and plaque to the outstanding student(s) in the department’s senior seminar classes. The Pettisville, Ohio, native is a H i s t o r y - E d u c at i o n major. Siegel’s research paper was entitled: “Jinnah and

the quest for Pakistan” and assessed if Jinnah’s greatest achievement was to convert the Muslim ‘problem’ in India from an internal, communal one, into an international one. “Kurt is an exemplary scholar, who has produced a sophisticated analysis of Pakistani nationhood on the eve of British decolonization. Indeed, this was no easy task considering the dearth of information available from Pakistani sources, and it aptly highlights the depth of Kurt’s felicitous intellectual curiosity,” stated Dr. Tim Smith, Professor of Non-Western History.

ing, the WPD is now at full staff, according to Capt. Matt Benson,

the department’s Public Information Officer.

State health officials investigate rise in whooping cough From the ISDH INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) is urging Hoosiers to take precautions against pertussis, also known as whooping cough, amid an increase in cases across the state. In the first half of

2017, 136 cases of pertussis have been confirmed in Indiana. During the same period in 2016, the state saw 66 cases. Because pertussis tends to be cyclical, ISDH expects to continue to see an increase in cases this year. “Pertussis is very contagious and can

cause serious complications, especially in young infants,” said State Health Commissioner Jerome Adams, M.D., M.P.H. “I urge Hoosiers to protect themselves and their families by getting vaccinated and following good cough etiquette and hand-

washing practices.” Pertussis is a bacterial illness transmitted by nose or throat droplets. Symptoms typically begin seven to 10 days following exposure and may include prolonged cough, bursts of coughing that may cause difficulty catching one’s breath or

vomiting following coughing. Older children and adults can have mild cases of pertussis, but infants can experience serious illness. Young infants with pertussis can experience poor feeding, weight loss, slowed or stopped breathing, pneumonia, seizures or death.

While pertussis can be treated with antibiotics, it can be prevented with two safe and effective vaccines: DTaP for children under 7 years old and Tdap for children and adults over 10 years old. Pertussis immunity begins to decrease over time, but adding a pertus-

sis booster dose to the routine vaccination schedule for children 11 to 12 years old can provide further protection. Women are urged to get one dose of Tdap during each pregnancy to protect young infants before they can be vaccinated. In addition, fathers, grandparents and anyone caring for young children should make sure they are fully immunized against pertussis to prevent spreading this potentially life-threatening illness. Although pertussis can occur in people who have received all their childhood vaccinations, the symptoms are usually milder in people who have been fully vaccinated. Anyone with a prolonged cough is encouraged to see a healthcare provider to determine whether testing or treatment for pertussis is appropriate. Hoosiers who are uncertain about their vaccination status can consult their healthcare provider or local health department. The Indiana State Department of Health offers online access to immunization records through MyVaxIndiana, a secure client portal that allows individuals access to their own immunization record after receiving information from their healthcare provider. Please discuss obtaining your immunization records through MyVaxIndiana with your healthcare provider.

CF honors 196 Promise students Article provided

NORTH MANCHESTER — The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County is highlighting the completion of the first year of the Promise Scholarship Program by celebrating the academic and savings accomplishments of 196 Wabash County students in grades 4-8 who are enrolled in the scholarship program. In all, 43 Promise Scholars in grades 4,6 and 8 completed all academic requirements and their families deposited the required savings match in their col-

lege savings accounts during the school year. To reward this accomplishment, the Promise Scholarship Program is depositing another $50 into their scholarship fund. Another group of 126 Promise Scholars in grades 4, 6 and 8 achieved 100 percent of the Promise academic goals only for the school year. The Promise Scholarship program is recognizing the academic success of these students by depositing $25 into their scholarship funds. P r o m i s e Scholarships are financial awards to

help Wabash County students in grades 48 pay for a career or college education after high school. These scholarships are funded by a grant to the Community Foundation of Wabash County from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Parents who have children in grades 4-8 for the 2017-18 school year may enroll them in the C o m m u n i t y Foundation Promise Scholarship program by contacting their child’s teacher or emailing the C o m m u n i t y Foundation at promise4-8@cfwc.org.

11-mile pursuit ends with FW man facing charges By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER – An 11mile pursuit in North Manchester on Monday, July 24, ended with a Fort Wayne man facing multiple charges. According to a press release provided by NM Chief of Police Jim Kirk: At approximately 9:28 p.m., while working Operation Pull Over, NMPD Officer Parker Stouffer attempted to stop a vehicle in the area of Norwood Drive and State Road 13 North. The 1997 Chevrolet Blazer driven by Jeffrey J. Moriarity,

38, of Fort Wayne, allegedly started to flee from police. Officer Stouffer along with Officers Isaac Adams and Devin Bechtold attempted to stop Moriarity. Along State Road 114, officers allegedly observed Moriarity throwing articles out of the vehicle. The pursuit ended when Moriarity allegedly tried to evade officers by stopping his vehicle on State Road 15 in the area of Waldo Golf Course, putting the vehicle in reverse and driving into a field. Moriarity then allegedly fled on foot.

JEFFREY MORIARITY Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department Officer Corbin Dawes was called for K9 assistance. Officers alleged that they soon found Moriarity and he was taken to Wabash Parkview Hospital for

a blood draw. Moriarity was booked into the Wabash County Jail on the charges of reckless driving, habitual traffic offender, resisting law enforcement and possession of paraphernalia. Depending on the results of the blood draw, further charges of operating while intoxicated are pending. Assisting at the scene were Chief Jim Kirk, Sgt. Greg Tomlinson, Sgt. Nate Birch and K9 officer Strider, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department and Indiana State Police.
