New recycling program to begin Jan. 1 By The Paper staff As of Jan. 1, the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District will begin a new drop-site recycling program to better assist county residents. The new program was made possible with the partnership of Whitley Environmental from Columbia City, an envi-

ronmental consulting company that won the local district’s 2016-2018 recycling program bid. With this change in vendors also comes a change to the program, in that residents will no longer need to separate their recyclables. The new program will be a single stream recycling program. Residents will be able to

place all of their recyclables including aluminum, steel, tin, paper, plastics no.1 and no.2, food grade glass bottles and jars and corrugated cardboard in bins together. Boxes must still be broken down. Each new bin will come with stickers that outline which items are acceptable and which items are not. It is very important to prac-

tice responsible recycling and only put accepted items in the bins. Each inappropriate item thrown in the bins constitutes contamination, which decreases the value of recyclables. The Wabash County Solid Waste Management District strives to provide local residents with an affordable convenient recycling program. Therefore, the value of the

recyclables is very important. The district also wishes to remind residents that dumping trash is illegal at the drop site and those found guilty of doing so face a fine of up to $10,000. For more information about the drop site recycling program and other programs offered by the WCSWMD, call 260-563-7649 or visit slashthetrash.com.

Chippewa Place development moving forward By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash County residents will see new, modern duplex villas within the next year, according to Kim Davis, Ideal Suburban Homes director of sales. In late October, the Decaturbased homebuilding company Ideal Suburban Homes Inc. purchased Wabash’s Chippewa Place. The purchase is a great investment not only for the company but for Wabash as well, Davis said. “Wabash has not had new homes for quite a few years,” she explained, “and, in speaking with our agent that will be handling that area for us—her name is Brenda Williams—she saw great potential for the need for some new homes in the area. So we decided to, with the experience that we’ve had and again it’s been over 50 years and espe-

cially villa community, we just decided that it’d be a great partnership.” The local condominium development area was abandoned in 2010, according to Bob Lundquist of Lundquist Appraisals and Real Estate. “It was 8.3 acres of land which was originally purchased for a condominium development,” Lundquist told The Paper of Wabash County. “(The original owners) built two buildings, which held four condos, in there. The company ended up going bankrupt when the housing economy turned bad in about 2008 or so.” The property “sat there dormant” for several years until First Farmers Bank and Trust foreclosed on the property and reposed it in 2012, he continued. After assigning three prior realtors to sell the land, First Farmers then tasked Lundquist with the job in early 2015.

“I searched all over this part of the state,” Lundquist said. “I called every developer, every builder that I could come across trying to encourage them to buy that property and develop single-family homes or condos there. “I had seen Ideal Suburban Homes in some other small towns,” he continued. “They had developments in Ossian, Bluffton and Huntington, and I knew that they worked with a lot of small communities and so I reached out initially to them.” After reaching out to the company on several attempts, Lundquist said he finally had the opportunity to show the property to the company’s president and general manager Kevan Biggs, which then decided to purchase the estate. “I think (Ideal Suburban Homes) will be a good fit for Wabash,” Lundquist said.

Heavy fog on Tuesday morning, Nov. 24, is blamed for two traffic accidents that left one person dead and five others injured. One person was killed and three others were injured Tuesday morning in a car-semitractor and trailer accident on U.S. 24 and Alber Street about 9:20 a.m. According to a news release from the Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land, Cheryl K. Koehler, 71, Wabash, was killed after the car she was driving struck the rear end of the tractor-trailer driven by Jackie C. Hazeltine, 64, Columbus, Ohio. Wabash County Coroner Carol Whitesel pronounced her dead at the scene. Three people in the Koehler vehicle were injured. Jessica M. Gaston, 34, Wabash, the front seat passenger, was transported to Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne, in critical condition with severe

head injuries. She was in surgery as of Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile, Kedron Gaston, 12, Wabash, a rear seat passenger, was taken to Lutheran Hospital with a fractured skull and lacerations. She was in serious condition. Khloe Gaston, 9, Wabash, another rear seat passenger, was transported to Lutheran with non-life threatening head injuries. According to the release, Hazeltine’s semi was eastbound on U.S. 24 and was stopping for the traffic light on Alber Street. Koehler failed to slow or stop and struck the rear of the tractor-trailer. Heavy fog was present in the area at the time of the crash, Land noted in the release. An accident reconstructionist from the Wabash Police Department was on the scene. The investigation is continuing. Assisting at the scene were the Wabash Police Department, Indiana State Police, Wabash Fire Department, Noble Township Fire Department, and Wabash County EMA. Meanwhile, a mother and (continued on page 26)

12th annual Winter Banner Contents awards 39 By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Honeywell Center named 39 students as award winners of the 12th annual Winter Banner Contest at the contest’s award ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 18. Students from M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools, MSD of Wabash County School District, Wabash City Schools, St. Bernard Catholic School, Emmanuel Christian School, Heartland Career Center and various local home schools participated in the contest. The annual competition, which is open to Wabash County students, was founded by the late Peggy McCallen and her husband the late Robert McCallen Jr. The couple’s son Judge Robert McCallen III said continuing his parent’s banner tradition is a labor of love. “We’ve enjoyed this all 12 years and we will continue this on,” Judge McCallen told The Paper of Wabash County. “Mom is going to carry on a wonderful tradition on behalf of herself and Dad.” Mrs. McCallen said that the family knew that her late husband would want them to continue this contest. When they began the contest, “we just wanted to have the children involved in something that everyone would enjoy,” she continued. “Mom and Dad have always loved to encourage people and children, particularly, to do the best that they can, whatever their

talents are,” Judge McCallen added. “As Dad always said, ‘Whatever you are, be a good one.’ And this was one way to do that, carry that out and give back to the community he loved so much.” To honor Mr. McCallen’s memory, one student was presented the Bob McCallen Award for art excellence. Out of five nominated students, Alisha Music of the Heartland Career Center was selected as the recipient of the award. The Best Use of Theme award went to Wabash High School sophomore Olivia Hipskind. School division winners included M a n c h e s t e r Elementary third

Local fire department adds new vehicle to fleet By The Paper staff L A F O N TA I N E — The LaFontaineLiberty Township Fire Department added a new vehicle to its fleet recently, dep artment officials announced.. The vehicle, a 2004 C h e v r o l e t Suburban, will serve the surrounding area as a medical assist/first responder vehicle. Prior to the purchase, the department had been using the grass and brush fire truck to respond to various emergency calls,

according to a news release from the department. The Suburban, dedicated to first response, will allow the brush fire truck to remain at the station during severe weather conditions and extend its lifespan by limiting runs made. The new first response vehicle was purchased from a fire department located in Long Island, N.Y., by the membership of the LaFontaine-Liberty Township Fire Department without the use of tax-generated funds, according to the release.

Local DAV purchases new vehicle Vehicle delivery expected by October By The Paper staff The Wabash County Disabled American Veterans organization purchased a new vehicle recently after receiving $20,000 from Larry Shaw, Military Order of the Purple Heart state commander. Wabash County DAV van coordinator Herb Mullen traveled to the organization’s state headquarters in Indianapolis to watch

Shaw present a $20,000 Check to Disabled American state commander Terry Sanders. The check was deposited into the Wabash County DAV Van account and was used to purchase another Ford Flex.

The local organization expects the vehi-

cle’s delivery to occur by next October. The Wabash County DAV provides transportation to VA Hospitals in Indianapolis, Marion, Fort Wayne and the Outpatient Clinic in Peru. Currently, the organization has four drivers handling an average of 35-40 patients per month whose pay is the gratitude of the veterans and their families.

Wabash County Master Gardener Program to begin new class By The Paper staff

Those wanting to sharpen their gardening skills and who have an interest in sharing their knowledge with others, Purdue University has the ideal program. Beginning Jan. 13, 2016, the Purdue Master Gardener Program training series will be offered for residents of Wabash County and surrounding areas. The Purdue Master Gardener Program is a volunteer training program that provides a learning framework for participants to increase their knowledge on a wide variety of horticultural subjects. In turn, participants volunteer, representing Purdue University. As volunteers, participants grow by sharing knowledge while providing leadership and service in educational gardening activities within their communities. Training will be held on Wednesday nights from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Charley Creek Garden’s Education and Resource building at 551 N. Miami St. in Wabash. The program will run Jan. 13 thru April 6, 2016. Participants will be exposed to a wide range of subjects: herbaceous ornamentals, woody ornamentals, com-

posting, home lawn care, soil and plant science, pesticide safety, home gardening, landscape management and fruit production. Materials and expenses for the series of classes start at $60. If two members of the same family share materials the 2nd person’s fee is $15. This expense fee covers such items as weekly handouts, mailings, and name badges. The Master G a r d e n e r Manual/textbook is optional for $78. A flash drive with the Manual and selected Purdue publications is available for $50. These materials all become part of the Master Gardener’s personal collection. While the class

Council trims funds from 2016 salary ordinance

The Wabash City Council trimmed the

city’s salary ordinance by $64,800, eliminating the police department’s clothing allowance and holiday pay.

~ QUALITY FABRICS ~ Specializing in cottons for quilting 1604 S. Wabash St. • Wabash 260-563-3505 www.colorsgonewild.com

The elimination doesn’t mean that the department will not be receiving those funds. Rather, the funds were duplicated, and the duplication was eliminated. The council, at its Nov. 23 meeting, also was asked to consider using $32,000 of the funds, which had already been budgeted, to create a receptionist’s position at City Hall. While the post would be new, the funding would not be as it was to be taken from the $64,800 duplicate payment. Mayor-elect Scott Long sought to reestablish the receptionist’s position. However, City

Attorney Doug Lehman noted during discussion, the move was not possible under state statute. Under statute, compensation must be fixed by Nov. 1 for the ensuing year. Also, the council can reduce, but not increase, compensation once it is approved. “So I have two concerns,” Lehman said. “Number one is that it is after Nov. 1. Number two, is that compensation may not be increased. The compensation for this position was zero because the position did not exist. So, adding it is an increase a compensa-

tion, so I don’t really think it could be done.” However, Lehman noted, that statute allows the executive to increase or decrease compensation in the budget year, so the post could be created after Jan. 1. Long said he wasn’t opposed to removing the request for the new position from the ordinance. Wabash ClerkTreasurer Wendy Frazier, in a statement to the media on Tuesday, Nov. 24, said, “Mayor-elect Scott Long came to me and advised he would like to revert back to the days when we had a

receptionist to bring back a sense of welcome to City Hall and do away with the unprofessional looking signage that is in place now. I agreed we do in fact need a receptionist and we started discussing possibilities. “Mayor-elect Long indicated that he had already shared his wish with current Mayor Vanlandingham and felt that the current Mayor’s secretary would be a good fit for the position. “ All salary ordinances originate in the clerk-treasurers office, she noted, adding, “so the amendment was made to add the posi-

tion using monies from the 2015 and 2016 budgets without raising the 2016 budget already in place in order to remain in compliance with state statute. Mayor-elect Scott Long and I were trying to follow proper procedure and allow the current mayor’s secretary to keep a position with the city of Wabash without any gap of employment and therefore not lose any seniority or interfere with her PERF.” He later said he would wait until after Jan. 1 to decide how to proceed.

So I’m hoping that we will be able to bring people that maybe are from Wabash but want to stay there but want a newer home or even people outside the area that want to be close to Fort Wayne, but don’t

want to be inside the area that there are now housing options for them in Wabash.” Currently, the property has 36 remaining lots and the new Chippewa Place duplex designs are still underway. The designs will resemble the company’s past layouts, according to Davis. “We have building duplex villas for over 50 years,” she said, “so we’re going to use some of our current designs and then we are going to design some new homes that we can also put in there.” Chippewa Place’s current housing units have garages on the outside of the structure. The new developments will have garages in the middle of the home while the company continues to develop the new villa models, according to Davis. The housing units will start at $130,000 and go up in price from there. Most of the villas will be two bedroom, two bath, Davis said. “It will just

Any body can come in and buy them as they’re being built, but we’re

going to speculate two of them and we’ll have one toward that $130,000 range and one probably more toward that $150,000 range. It’ll be a little bit bigger range. “And then, obviously, as people come in and they want to

design their own and start from scratch, it’ll just depend on what kind of amenities that they want in there.” If a buyer wishes to design their own home, the company will accommodate to meet their wants and

needs. “We’re trying to have enough variety that if somebody wants a smaller home, we can build that or if they want a bigger home with more area we can also accommodate them.”

Manchester honors Bob and Dee Keller From the Manchester University News Bureau

NORTH MANCHESTER – M a n c h e s t e r University recognized former North Manchester residents Bob Keller and his wife, Dee, for their outstanding accomplishments at the Alumni Honor Award Banquet on Friday, Oct. 23. The Kellers have often contributed to the University as a team. Keller, a 1952 graduate of Manchester, excelled as the dean of academic affairs from 1978-1987, during which he created the social work major, and Mrs. Keller the gerontology minor. While serving as professors of sociology and social work, the two were outstanding teachers and advocates for multicultural diversity, social and economic justice, and peacemaking. In 1997, both retired from full-time teaching at Manchester and proceeded to lead BCA Study Abroad (then Brethren

Colleges Abroad) programs to China, Japan and India. Together, the Kellers broadened and strengthened the cultural and spiritual life of the Manchester community. They live in Brattleboro, Vt. The University awarded Keller with the 2015 Alumni Honor Award and Dee Keller will receive a Distinguished Honor Award. The Alumni Honor Award is the highest

recognition the Alumni Association can bestow upon a graduate of M a n c h e s t e r University.

Northfield’s Keaffaber signs with Huntington University

www.thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash County Hoops on Wabash WebTV

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Northfield senior Abby Keaffaber has signed with H u n t i n g t o n University to be both an athlete and an academic. On Tuesday, Nov. 24, Keaffaber signed to play with the college’s softball team, but told The Paper of Wabash County that she based her decision on much more than sports. “I liked that it was so close to my home and that I could visit my parents and family often,” Keaffaber told The Paper of Wabash County. “I love their small Christian campus and I went to a couple softball practices and I loved how they ran it. They also have a really great nursing program.” Keaffaber’s parents Tammy and Randy Keaffaber, sister Ally and brother Ryan all joined her as she signed the paperwork in the NHS library. Howard County Thunder coach Dave Roller, Northfield

Abby Keaffaber (front row, center) signs her letter of intent to attend Huntington University and join the Foresters softball team. She was joined at the signing ceremony by (front row, from left) her sister Ally Keaffaber, father Randy Keaffaber, mother Tammy Keaffaber, brother Ryan Keaffaber, (back row, from left) Howard County Thunder coach Dave Roller, Northfield High School athletic director Clint Davis, Huntington University softball coach Doug Gower and Northfield softball coach Mike Holley. Photo by Emma Rausch softball coach Mike Holley and H u n t i n g t o n University coach Doug Gower were also present at the signing ceremony. When scouting the local athlete, Gower said he been keeping an eye on Keaffaber for several years. “I come over and usually watch the sectional ball games for years so I’ve seen her since she was a freshman,” he continued. “She comes from good

blood lines I guess you could say. I’ve watched her brother and probably her dad play in the past, but really she just proved that she wanted to be at Huntington. “She came to our practices. She emailed me. She proved that she wanted to be a student there and that appealed to me at a great deal let alone that she’s a good softball player.” Off the field,

Keaffaber plans to major in nursing with a concentration in oncology or perioperative. So far in her high school career, as a junior, Keaffaber played in 26 games with a batting average of .417 and 35 hits per game. She made six homeruns throughout the year. In her sophomore year, she played in 16 games and averaged .412. When she starts

playing for the H u n t i n g t o n Foresters, she said she believes she’ll bring her skills as a hitter and a catcher to the team. However, “we have a fairly good group of athletes so she has to earn her way on (the team),” Gower said. “But I see her as being a corner player or a catcher off the bat. That’s what I see her as just by past experience.”

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT ‘Last Comic Standing’ finalists to perform at Honeywell THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” finalists will take to the Honeywell Center Ford Theater stage tonight at 7:30 p.m. Runner-up Andy Erikson and finalists Ian Bagg, Dominique and Wabash’s own Michael Palascak will open for Clayton English, the winner of Last Comic Standing. So far, touring “has been really good,” Erikson told The Paper of Wabash County in a phone interview. “We’ve been all around. East Coast, West Coast, the Midwest,” she continued. “It’s been really fun. “We’ve gotten to perform every night for different crowds

all over the country and we’ve gotten to see how those different crowds … laugh at or react to different jokes and I think it’s making us all stronger comics. So it’s an experience to try to grow.” Erikson said that it’s also fun to perform with four other comics every night. “At lot of times, you go into a club that you’re headlining and there’s maybe two other comics,” she said. “On this tour, there’s five comics and doing 20 minutes is a breeze or sometimes it’s not enough time, but it’s pretty fun. “We all really like it.” Erikson comedy, known for one-liners and “whimsical” stories according to her website’s bio, has grown since the

December 2, 2015

comedian has entered the show. “I feel like I can be a little more weird and silly with telling some jokes,” Erikson said. “On the show, too, but I realized there’s way less pressure when I’m able to be myself just a little bit more.” When she first met the judges Norm Macdonald, Rosanne Barr and Keenen Ivory Wayans, Erikson admitted she was nervous. “I freeze up,” she said. “The first time I actually got to see Rosanne, Keenen and Norm in person was right as I came on stage. You walk out and they’re sitting there and you’re star struck and then you have to tell jokes to them. It was really weird, but it was exciting too.” The best piece of

advice Erikson received during the season was Macdonald told her, “You’re a cat!” “So that was pretty good advice,” the comedian said with a laugh. “Norm (Macdonald) wanted me to figure out my character, but I didn’t really take that way. … Rosanne (Barr) at the wrap party told me to delve more into my real life so when I tell story, because I have a heart condition and things are more real, but on stage it’s just silly, but she said to just try it. Show them who I am, which is really nice advice.” Erikson said she’d like to community to come out and meet her as well as the other comics. “Don’t be afraid to talk to us because we’d like to talk to them,” she said. “I’m excited to meet everyone and I hope people come out and bring your stuffed animals.”

Andy Erikson, the ninth season runner-up of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” will be one of four acts performing tonight at the Honeywell Center in the “Last Comic Standing” tour. Erikson along with finalists Ian Bagg, Dominique and Michael Palascak open for Clayton English, this season’s official last comic standing. Photo provided

Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry’s accepting deer donations By The Paper staff CORUNNA – Officials from Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry’s remind all hunters and landowners about its deer donation program. Approximately, one out of every four households within Indiana (that have children) report an inability to be able to afford enough food to feed their family and more than 30 percent of Hoosiers regularly have to choose

between paying bills or buying food. Protein, the No.1 nutrient that is vital to brain and body development, is also the hardest commodity for food banks to obtain. Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry encourages hunters and farmers to donate large game or livestock to one of our participating butchers to be processed, picked up by local hunger relief agencies and distributed within

the county in which it was donated and where funding is available. There is no charge to donors. All processing fees are paid by Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry through tax deductible cash donations and grants from state and local agencies and organizations. To date, we have 97 participating meat processors working in 85 counties in Indiana. Go to www.HoosiersFeeding theHungry.org to find

a processor near you! And once again, donating a deer this year could reward someone with a brand new 2016 Honda Recon 4-wheeler (sponsored by Hayden Honda and local businesses)! There are three easy ways to enter to win: Donate a Deer — Donate Livestock — Raffle Ticket (for every $20 donation) For every deer donated, the donor will get two tickets entered into the drawing, livestock dona-

tions receive three (3) entries into drawing. Raffle tickets are also available for entry with a $20 donation to the Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry program. The winning ticket will be drawn by an Indiana DNR representative at the 19th Annual Deer, Turkey, & Waterfowl Expo in February 2016. For more information or to purchase a raffle ticket, contact us at: 260-541-0365 or info@hoosiersfeedingthehungry.org

Musicale opens year with new theme for 2015-16 Article provided Wabash Musicale had begun their 201516 season with a new theme: Musicale Unites Selections and Indiana Connections – an acronym celebrating the 200th year anniversary of Indiana becoming a state and the 180th year anniversary of Wabash county becoming politically organized. October’s meeting was held in the home of Minda Lehman. President Eileen Dye opened the meeting, welcoming 26 members of Wabash Musicale. Chairperson Susie Jones gave a short history quiz asking members what was Indiana’s state bird, flower, song, pie, etc. Sue also gave a list of the many songwriters who hail from Indiana. The list was impressive – Hoagy Charmichael, Cole Porter, Bill Gaither, John

Mellencamp, to name a few. Sue Gray opened the program with a medley titled, “ S o m e t h i n g Beautiful” by Indiana native Bill Gaither. Susan Vanlandingham was the accompanist for each of today’s singers. Bill Gaither was born in Alexandria, Indiana in 1936, graduated from Anderson College in 1959 and married Gloria in 1962. After working full-time in the Christian music industry for a while, he recorded his first breakthrough song, “He Touched Me” in 1964 and since that time has written over 700 songs. Josie Wade sang, “On the Banks of the Wabash” by Indiana song writer Paul Dresser. Paul was an American singer, songwriter and comedic actor of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who lived in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Next, a quartet featuring Margie Gillespie, Kae Gifford, Sue Gray and Dorothy Merrick sang a Hoagy Charmichael medley of “Heart and Soul”, “Georgia”, “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening”, The Nearness of You” and “Up the Lazy River”. Hoagy was born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1899, and graduated from Indiana University in 1925 and became famous as a composer, pianist, singer, actor and bandleader. Josie Wade sang a Cole Porter standard, “Night and Day”. Cole Porter was born to a wealthy family in Peru, Indiana in 1891. Being classically trained, he was drawn towards musical theatre. By the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Broadway musical stage. Unlike many successful Broadway composers,

Porter wrote the lyrics, as well as the music, for his songs. The ladies quartet returned to sing, “Second Hand Rose” complete with props and costumes. This was written by Indiana songwriter James F. Hanley. Hanley was born in Rensselaer, Indiana in 1892. He attended Champion college and the Chicago Music College. He served with the United States of America (U.S.) 82nd Division in the military in WWI and wrote an army musical titled: “Toot Sweet”. Josie Wade sang, “Shoofly Pie” is a popular song about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, with music by Guy Wood and words by Sammy Gallup. President Eileen Dye thanked everyone for coming. The hostesses were Sue Gray, Beth Perkins and Kris Stephens.

NM Rotary plans mentoring program By The Paper staff The Rotary Club of North Manchester is spearheading a communitywide effort to mentor students at Manchester JuniorSenior High School in collaboration with the school district.

Each volunteer will be matched with a student to create and support a consistent, positive, one-to-one relationship. The adult volunteer will be an advisor and friend on the journey toward becoming a successful and contributing adult.

Volunteers will help them navigate toward and plan for what is beyond high school graduation. Mentors may assist with long-range planning to toward completing their education, pursuing a career, gaining financial security and

living a balanced and happy life. Some may also help with academics. Volunteers will be trained using the interactive, online Mentoring Central program. Participants can work on their own at their own pace, or can at-

tend Rotary classes. All mentoring will take place at the Manchester JuniorSenior High School campus, and it can be done before, during or after school, depending on the schedule and needs of the volunteer and student.

For more information or to set up a presentation for your organization, call club President Mark Eastway at 574-4579375 or email markeastway@gmail .com. To apply, go to www.rotarymentor.c om, download a men-

tor application, fill it

out and send it to

Mark Eastway, 306 E

2nd St., North Manchester, IN 46962

At least 10 volun-

teers are needed by

January to begin the program in 2016.

Karsyn’s family thanks community Dear Editor: To all that have shown their thoughts and prayers towards Karsyn and our family during her long battle of cancer, our family would like to say thank you for your love and support. To our wonderful

community, neighbors, friends and family, thank you for showing us how much Karsyn meant to everyone. We are truly blessed to have such great people in our lives. To our Bachelor Creek “family,” thank you for the

continued support and providing our family with nightly meals that fed our family for a month while we cared for Karsyn. To Chad Maple and Steve Hentgen and staff, thank you for making Karsyn’s arrangements effortless. To our pastor, Solomon David at Bachelor Creek, thank you for making Karsyn’s “Celebration of Life” so special. We couldn’t have asked for a greater way to pay tribute to our daughter. To our employers, PaperWorks Industries and Ford Meter Box Credit Union, thank you for being so compassionate and allowing us to spend the time with Karsyn before she passed. We made

some great memories during that time. To the great schools, staff and students, thank you for always treating Karsyn in the great way that you did. She was so fortunate to have all of you always treating her like a princess. To the community, thank you all for supporting Karsyn and her dreams of wanting to help others. Through the events of “Karing for Karsyn”, “Karsyn Kares” and the annual event going forward of “Kick It For Karsyn.” In Karsyn’s mind, she didn’t have a problem, we did. She didn’t care about how bad her day was; it was about how good she could make yours. The generosity shown towards our family in times

of need have been truly humbling and appreciated more than we can tell you. To Jace Randal and Katie Beavers, she truly loved you two so much and we want you to know how truly special you both are to our family and how blessed we are knowing you two loved her so much. The friendship and bond you formed will forever be in your hearts, and ours as well. We know Karsyn’s legacy will live on and continue to grow. In her short 12 years of life, she touched more hearts than we will ever know because of her positive attitude and nevergive-up beliefs. From our family, we thank each and every one of you. — Bill and Linette Burchett and kids

P.E.O. members discuss convention plans Article provided

P.E.O. Chapter BY held its September meeting in the home of Beth Perkins. Members planned an impromptu noon get together with member Nancy Givens at Peabody. Plans were shared by members attending t h e P.E.O. International Convention volunteer workshop in Fort Wayne. Karen Huber presented a short program on the P.E.O. bylaws, constitution, and terminologies. Muriel Morrison and R e b e c c a Wimberly were welcomed. The Oct. 12 meeting was in Grandstaff-

Hentgen’s community room. Karen Huber and Janet Leeka hosted the meeting. Halloween decorations, apple cake. and hot cider made social time festive. With great anticipations, International Convention volunteers briefly shared plans for the upcoming commute to Indianapolis. Plans were firmed up for the upcoming social event where members will enjoy the Taste of Wabash tour on November 7. To build chapter-tochapter relations, BY will invite the North Manchester chapter to participate. Sue Gray announced that the P.E.O. Valentine

Singers were asked to serenade Mayor Vanlandingham on Oct. 16 and reviewed the game plan. Janet Leeka presented “Why I Like Halloween” and encouraged those in attendance to share their favorite Halloween experiences. Sharing childhood Halloween adventures brought much laughter and resurrected fond memories. The next meeting is Nov. 9. Jane Barlow and Pat Vanlaningham are hostesses.

Thank you, Nancy Snyder Dear Editor: I want to tell you about a very, very special person who has been a vital part of the mission and work of Wabash Carnegie Public Library. She is Nancy Snyder. The Library invites the community to an Open House on Friday, December 11th, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wabash Carnegie Public Library in honor of Nancy, who is retiring after 31 years and 7 months. Nancy has been a tireless advocate of learning in our community along with the crucial difference that reading and literature make in child’s life. As a community, we are blessed because of the work she has done. The library programming developed under Nancy’s leadership is well known in our community. I consistently hear from

parents and their children how wonderful the programming is and the positive impact it makes. She and her staff work with local schools, organizations, preschools, and agencies such as Area 5, Wabash County YMCA, etc. to promote learning and reading. For example, Nancy started a program called “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten” for the entire county. As one of her colleagues, April Nicely states, “if there were a Mr. Rogers for Wabash, it would be Nancy Snyder”. She works tirelessly with teachers, parents, and others, going the extra mile to make sure a child’s reading needs are met. For the past 31 years, her love of reading and her desire for all people to benefit from the library have made her

an outstanding advocate for Wabash’s children, teachers, and parents. In those years, she has nurtured and inspired the love of reading and literature in countless children and their parents in our community. As another colleague of Nancy, Laura Beutler states, “Nancy has changed our community for the better and made a lasting impact on so many lives”. We thank Nancy for her tireless work and the legacy she is leaving behind. We hope you can join us on Friday, December 11th, between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the library to celebrate, thank, and express our best wishes to Nancy. It has been a pleasure and honor to work with her! Thank you, Nancy! Thanks to the family of Zelpha Cottingham, the

library has a Merlin LCD magnifier available for customers to use. It primarily helps people with low vision in reading books, documents, magazines, and any other printed material. It is available to use when the library is open and is located by the microfilm machine near the Information Desk. We thank the Cottingham family for the donation in memory of Zelpha! With holiday season approaching, the library thanks our community for its continued support and utilization of our excellent library services. Best wishes to you this holiday season! See you at the library! — Ware W. Wimberly III, Director, Wabash Carnegie Public Library

Executive Director Aaron Vogel said Autumn Ridge Rehabilitation Centre staff operates by the company’s core values. “Compassion, Attentiveness, Relationships and Excellence: these

words not only form an acronym spelling out CARE, they are guiding principles that lead us every day as we serve a very special generation,’’ Vogel said. “We are so proud of the staff for living out these values in an exceptional way. “Without the staff ’s high level of dedication and commitment, a deficiency-free survey would not be possible.”

Soil & Water Conservation districts offer conference registrations to residents By The Paper staff

U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. A deficiency-free result in the state’s rigorous annual examination is one of the top indications of excellence for nursing facilities. In perhaps the most regulated industry within the State of Indiana and across the nation, nursing facilities are thoroughly surveyed to assess compliance with federal and state standards of

This year’s National No-Tillage Conference will be in Indianapolis and local residents could attend, compliments of the Wabash or Miami County Soil & Water Conservation Districts (SWCD). The National NoTillage Conference is an awesome annual event held each year in the mid-west and offers so much more than just no-till education! There will be discussions on soil

health, crop production, agronomics of farming and so much more. The Wabash and Miami County Soil & Water Conservation Districts Board of Supervisors are such believers in this event that they are going to again pay for the cost of up to 10 registrations per county to the 2016 National NoTillage Conference, this is over a $250 commitment per registration by the districts. Any individual (one per farm/family)

who owns and/or operates a farm that is primarily in their respective county is eligible and first time participants will have preference. The 24th Annual National No-tillage Conference will be Jan. 6-9, 2016, in Indianapolis. The soil and water conservation districts are only covering the conference registration and not hotel or travel expenses. For more information or questions please contact the

Wabash County SWCD office at 260563-7486 ext. 3 or the Miami County SWCD at 765-473-6753 ext. 3. For hotel information v i s i t www.NoTillConferen ce.com
