Bruss, Pilgrim get new positions By The Paper staff Matt Bruss and Bob Pilgrim have taken over as Wabash City Police Department chief and assistant chief, respectively. The pair received the oath of office on Monday, Feb. 22, from Mayor Scott Long. They didn’t take office until Tuesday, March 1, when former Chief Larry Schnepp’s retirement took effect. “I am privileged that Mayor Long has appointed me as the Chief of Police,” Bruss said. “I look forward to maintaining a professional department and continuing to serve the citizens of Wabash well.” Bruss was born and raised in Wabash, and is a 1989 graduate of Wabash High School. He attended Indiana University Bloomington and graduated in 1993. Bruss earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in criminal justice and a minor in psychology. He was appointed as a patrolman in 1994 with the Wabash City Police Department. Patrolman Bruss graduated the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in class 94-119. He was a patrolman until 2003 when he was promoted to sergeant. In 2010, Bruss was promoted to Captain, and worked uniform patrol for 20 years working all three shifts in the department. In 2014, Bruss was promoted to Major, which is the Assistant Chief ’s position.

Curless family honored as 2015 Farm Family of the Year By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Randy Curless Family was named the 2015 Farm Family of the Year by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. The family was honored for its contributions to agriculture and the community, Wabash County Chamber of Commerce

(WCCC) officials announced. Randy is the president and owner of Liberty Swine Farms, Inc., and Curless Farms Inc. The Curless family is “extremely deserving” of this award, according to Mark York, Wabash County Indiana Farm Bureau president, local pork producer and the first-honored Farm Family of the Year. “He’s in the barns every sin-

gle day doing his job caring for the animals, fresh feed, fresh water,” York said. “Animal care is paramount in Randy’s eyes (as well as) food safety. Those are all things the freshness of the food, the freshness of the water, the environment, the facilities and that comes at a cost to Randy’s industry as well. So food safety is paramount to Randy as well.

“He’s contributed a lot back to the community and I’d also like to thank Randy for his advocacy toward agriculture in Wabash County.” In addition to honoring the family for their farming practices, Randy and his father Larry will both be recognized for their contributions to the community and pork produc(continued on page 4)

Karsyn’s fundraiser to continue with new name By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Karsyn Bratch’s legacy will continue this year as organizers prepare for the third annual Kick It for Karsyn kickball tournament. Karsyn, 12, of Wabash, passed away on Oct. 25, 2015, after she lost her fight with pediatric cancer, but not before raising approximately $60,000 for the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research. To continue her legacy, Kick It for Karsyn, formerly Kick it With Karsyn, will return for its third year on Sept. 17 at the Morrett Sports Complex Field of Dreams in Wabash.

She knew the importance of pediatric cancer research, according to Larry Graff, national Kick It event organizer and pediatric cancer advocate. “She knew that every dollar raised brought us closer to a cure for pediatric cancer,” Graff told The Paper of Wabash County. “She cared very deeply about pediatric cancer research and continuing the event continues her legacy for pediatric cancer research.” Karsyn raised the funds by hosting Kick it With Karsyn tournaments in 2014 and 2015. This year’s tournament was renamed Kick It for Karsyn in honor of her memory. “This is her event,” Graff said. “This event (continued on page 8)

Justice Competition. A three-person Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) team consisting of Chesnie Blankenship (Manchester High School), Alanna Green (Peru High School) and Tyler McKitrick (Wabash High School) also qualified for the Criminal Justice SkillsUSA Competition in Indianapolis on April 15-16, 2016 by placing in the top five positions. Criminal Justice competitors took a criminal justice knowledge test; pre-

sented a resume; participated in an oral interview; identified, dusted, and lifted two latent fingerprints; responded to an unknown police call; and wrote a case report pertaining to the call. Each CSI member took a SkillsUSA knowledge test, responded to, investigated, and wrote a detailed case report as part of their assessment. Heartland Career Center Criminal Justice Instructor Leroy Striker applauded the efforts of each of his students. “The competi-

tion was challenging and realistic,” commented Striker. “All of our students had an opportunity to advance and the final results were very close. Our students should be proud of their effort. They represented their home school, our program, and Heartland Career Center well.” Trine University’s Dean of Criminal Justice, Craig W. Laker, facilitated the Criminal Justice and Criminal Investigation SkillsUSA testing and assessment.

R e a d i n g heroes: Kyndall Shear, 5, (top photo) runs through the Iron Man Obstacle Course dressed as Robin at O.J. Neighbour’s Family Reading Night on Thursday, Feb. 18. More than 600 people attended the superhero-themed event to play games, make personal hero masks, enjoy a short story in the elementary school’s library and have the chance to meet Capt. America, Iron Man and the Hulk. Before the games and fun, however, the three Avengers – portrayed by (bottom photo, from left) Chris Reynolds, John Traver and Jeff Traver – made their superhero entrances into the auditorium. Librarian Heather Burton told The Paper of Wabash County the event went better than expected. “We had planned for about 300 and we have doubled that,” she said. “(The kids) have been talking about it for a month. They have been so excited to meet (the Avengers), they get to dress up like them and it’s been great.” Photos by Emma Rausch

exhibiting the steps the farm takes to ensure a safe and healthy pork production. Through Facebook, Randy’s advocacy of pork production is now communicated through a social and public platform, according to Barry Eppley, local agricultural producer. “Randy’s advocacy for pork production stands out among the impressive features of the operation,” Eppley said. “He has participated in local, state and national pork producers activities and maintains a Facebook page, all efforts to communicate the facts of pork production to the public. “There are many opinions on how food should be produced,” he continued, “and I believe that the process employed by Liberty Swine is very sustainable and they are good stewards to the community and the soil and water.” Randy’s drive to “give back” to his community possibly stems from his role as a fifth generation farmer, according to York. “I’m a first generation,” York said, “so to be a fifth generation you get a point in your life where you do want to give back to your community, you do want to give

That’s 125 years I suppose of contributions toward agriculture or advocacy toward agriculture in Wabash County. “He’s doing a good job.” The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce will be honoring the Curless family on Tuesday, March 15, for their

Morris Curless first moved to the area, the farm has adapted and grown to overcome changes in the agricultural industry, according to York. “It’s pretty monumental to be able to do five generations as a farm,” York said. “The changes that he’s seen at Liberty Swine, I can’t even begin to express the changes in the industry. It’s almost unrecognizable. “You don’t become a fifth generation farm without having a very strong family.” Morris originally operated a farm outside of Swayzee. He eventually put the farmland up as collateral to help several of his sons start a bas-

ket factory next the Swayzee Jar Factory, according to Randy. However, eventually tragedy struck. A fire at the jar factory destroyed the sons’ basket factory. Morris lost the farm as an aftereffect. In 1868, Morris, his wife Mary and their 11 children then purchased farming ground in southern Wabash County. Today, the land is the current site of Liberty Swine Farms. As Morris’s children left home, the family name was scattered throughout Wabash and Grant counties. Eventually Morris’s grandson (continued on page 5)

Curless family honored as 2015 Farm Family of the Year... continued from page 4 and Randy’s grandfather Wilbur purchased the farm who then later on passed it down to his son, Larry. Just as he was raised on the farm, Larry and his latewife Marilyn raised their children, Randy and Cindy, on the land as well. Wabash County resident Jean Gilbert has been a neighbor of Wilbur, Larry and now Randy’s families since the 1950s. “They’ve always been really good people,” Gilbert said. “His grandfather, Wilbur, was involved with county government. Kate (Wilbur’s wife) was a schoolteacher at White’s Institute for many years. Larry has been so involved with things at the Honeywell Center. “So – and you know Randy being on the County Council – it just shows their loyalty to trying to do things in the right way and they’re concerned about how things function and making things better.” However, the success of the farm did not lie solely on the shoulders of the men. Randy’s mother Marilyn was the “foundation for the success of (Larry’s) generation on the farm,” Randy said. “Although not physically working on the farm,” he continued, “she was always there to support Dad, care for the house, Cindy and I. “She took meals to all of us in the fields, drove us around to move equipment, and there anytime we needed a shoulder to lean on. … She was by far my best supporter.” Although Marilyn passed away in 2000, Randy learned from his parents’ example and admitted that he too draws much support from his wife, Deborah. “Another very, very important part of my farming operation and my own personal success is the support that I get from Debbie, my wife,” he said. “Although she doesn’t currently actually work on the farm necessarily, when I go home at nights, she’s the one that listens to me vent and she’s the one that adds kind of a bit of common sense to

my hectic world sometimes.” Randy has loved farming since he was a child. “It’s all I’ve ever known,” Randy said. “I was driving tractors at 2-years-old and that’s all I’ve ever done. I love especially the hogs and the livestock end of it. “You’re your own boss and I’m not real good at working for people,” he added with a laugh. “So I get along with my boss that way. It’s just something I really enjoy.” After graduating from Purdue University in 1979, Randy returned home to take over the family operation. “My dad and his dad (Wilbur), they had a partnership they formed,” he said, “and when they knew I was coming back, they made a corporation out of Curless Farms.” Making the farm a corporation was done for tax purposes, Randy continued, as well as making the farm able to be passed down from generation to generation. “When I came back, we had a very diverse enterprise,” Randy said. “We had sheep, an 80 cow-calf operation and we raised about 300 cattle per year. At the most at one time, Curless Farms farmed 1,300 acres and at that time we had about a hun-

dred sow operation.” Since then, the operation has grown and Randy “was very fortunate that my dad was willing to grow when I came back,” he said. “Some parents are maybe a tad bit bullheaded or set in their ways, but I am fortunate that both Grandpa and Dad were both innovative in their ways and they were willing to grow, they were willing to take on some debt.” As a child Randy had a passion for taking care of his family’s hogs. “That’s just what I’ve always loved,” he said. “After school, that was my job. I’d ride my bike down to the farm and I took care of the farrowing rows. I was never in sports or anything because that’s just what I wanted to do.” The transition of part of the Curless Farms to Liberty Swine Farms “just came natural,” he explained. “At one point, I had the opportunity to expand again and Dad came to me and said, ‘Why don’t you take this on your own?’” Randy said, “’Because if you expand under Curless Farms then it’s just that more that you have to buy me out.’ So Liberty Swine was built and it’s all my own.” Since then, Randy and Deborah have

developed the operation over time to its 28,800 hog operation it is today. The Curless Farms and Liberty Swine Farms joint operation also rents out 715 acres with 350 acres for corn, 350 for soybeans and 15 acres for hay. The couple has also shared their life on the farm with their children, Briannon and Ryan. Sadly, Briannon’s passed away in February 2003 as a result of a fatal car accident. She loved the farm, according to her father. “She lived with her mom (Christine) and Ryan in town and loved a busy, hectic schedule,” Randy said, “but came out to the farm and our house any time she needed to relax and recharge her batteries. “Although she dreamed of living in a big city, she always came home to the farm to enjoy the freedom, ride four wheelers, and scheming up some kind of trouble with Deb.” Briannon was an adventurist, “complete lover of life” and an advocate of the underdog, he continued. “In looking back on her life and all she did, it was like she somehow knew her life on this earth was going to be short,” Randy said, “so she

Liberty Swine Farms, Inc., is a farrow-to-finish hog operation and sells approximately 28,800 hogs per year. Piglets are cared for in the nursery. Photo by Emma Rausch crammed a lifetime into her 17 years here.” Today, the Curless Farms and Liberty Swine Farms operation supports eight families in addition to Randy’s, including Michelle Workman, who has worked with the family as an employee for 12 years. “It’s been honestly really great to work for (Randy),” Workman said. “It’s been 12-and-a-half years, yes we’ve went through some ups and downs, but overall it’s been very good. “I look at him as a second father and we work pretty well together I would say. … We are a close-knit group of only eight (employees) and we are like a family with Randy.”

7 New state initiative encourages adults to complete college degrees THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

March 2, 2016

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Local officials are praising a campaign plan that will help Indiana adults return to college and complete previously started degrees. Gov. Mike Pence and Teresa Lubbers, Commissioner for Higher Education, announced the plan in mid-February at the kick off of the “You Can.Go Back” Campaign. The campaign is a coordinated effort to help 750,000 Hoosier adults, who have some college credit but no degree, finish what they started, according to a press release. The effort is a key strategy point to reach Indiana’s goal to increase the percentage of Indiana adults with education beyond high school to 60 percent by 2025. “We want to improve the quality of our workforce,” Pence said, “and help put Hoosiers on the path to even greater success.” However, to achieve the state’s goal, Pence said it’s imperative to

look beyond “our K-12 pipeline.” The campaign will encourage a continuing education that helps working Hoosiers meet the qualifications of the fastest growing, highwage jobs that will provide opportunity and improve lives, he added. Through the initiative, the Commission for Higher Education will be reaching out directly to prospective returning adults and easing the transition back to college with a variety of special programs and incentives. These incentives include $1,000 scholarships through a $7.5 million state grant, flexible class schedules and online courses, college credit for work and military experience, gradeand debt-forgiveness programs, and tuition discounts. As part of the campaign “roll-out,” the Commission of High Education gathered information from Indiana businesses on the types of education benefits offered to employees and what challenges the

Harrison Avenue work progressing By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Construction at the Wabash Street and Harrison Avenue intersection is progressing “better” than originally expected, according to John Martin, Wabash County highway superintendent. “Working is progressing actually better than I originally thought,” Martin told The Paper of Wabash County on Monday, Feb. 22. “Mainly because they’ve had pretty decent weather to work. “If the weather permits, they should be actually pouring the actual bridge deck next week.” However, the project is still months from completion. “They still have a

lot of the bridge work to do,” Martin said, “and there’s extra approaches that will have to be pulled after the deck is done. “I don’t know if it’ll be March. I can perceive it being early than the end of May, but then again it’s all speculative to the weather.”

businesses face in providing or expanding those benefits, according to the release. Patty Grant, the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County executive director, told The Paper of Wabash County that the program is “just terrific” for the region’s residents. “We know and you know there will be 16,000 jobs available through 2023,” Grant said in a phone interview, “and all of those jobs require some education beyond high school. Our region has a higher than average percentage of people who are going to be retiring, so those 16,000 jobs need to be filled by workers who have had to go back and get additional education. “Those jobs will take up 60 percent of the job market and yet only 35 percent of Wabash County residents have some education beyond high school.” The program is an excellent idea and can assist many Wabash County adults obtain higher education, according to Pam Guthrie, executive director of the Ivy Tech Community College Wabash Campus.

“I feel that there are a lot of people who live in our area, in Wabash County who didn’t get a degree … and who would like to go back and finish up that degree, but could use some financial help in doing that,” Guthrie told The Paper. “So the State starting an initiative like this is a wonderful idea.” This month, thousands of former college students will receive messages about the campaign and the benefits of completing their degrees. The emails and letters will also direct individuals to resources designed to support their return to school. A t YouCanGoBack.org, former students will be matched to college programs based on their interests and career goals before connecting with the campaign’s campus ambassadors, such as Ivy Tech Wabash Campus. “Many of these people who are going to be interested in this are probably going to be working adults who have full-time jobs,” Guthrie said. “The Community College has a lot of flexibility in the way that they schedule classes and program

classes. For example, most of our students here in Wabash take their classes at night after work. “I think the Ivy Tech Community College system is really poised to help people.” The campaign also compliments the county’s message to encourage higher education in elementary through high school students, according to Clint Kugler, a founder of the Wabash County Promise program. “I think creating an opportunity to strengthen our workforce is an essential strategy for helping our state thrive,” Kugler said. “In Wabash, we’re raising the importance of education on many fronts. This is one of this an element that is another layer on top of the alreadyexisting efforts that are happening that will help us be successful.” Dr. Sandra Weaver, MSD of Wabash County superintendent, added that the campaign “says a great deal to students, that even my parents may need additional

education.” “Obviously, this is tied more to adults that haven’t gone and giving them the opportunity to go back,” she said. “But when I looked at it, read about it I think it helps both causes by the message being, ‘We want people to get, we know that peo-

ple need training beyond high school.’ “That doesn’t always mean a fouryear degree. (It means) some sort of training or certificate to help them in the world of work. So I think the messages compliment each other is what I would say.”

year),” he continued. “Last year, we upped that to $24,000 ($48,000 with the matching funds) and, over the two-year period of Kick It with Karsyn, the event has raised $60,000. “So if all goes well this year, we’ll exceed $100,000.” Last year, 25 teams attend the kickball tournament and Graff said he hopes the event will host that many teams again. “In terms of changes, one thing that we know we could do a better job is game management,” he said. “Last year, we were focused on fundraising for

the event. We had 25 teams show up on game day, which is a huge increase over the first year. “The first year we only had seven teams so we weren’t fully prepared for 25 teams that day. So what we’re hoping this year is to have a lot more volunteers, a lot more organization in terms of how the kickball games are run.” Although the event is still months away, Graff said steps are being taken to lock in field and event sponsors as well as getting the community aware of the return of Kick It for Karsyn. “Where we’re going to start is we’re

deeply about this. She cared about the success of this event and continuing this event this is a huge part of her legacy.” For every $50 raised, one hour of childhood cancer research is funded. All the funds Karsyn raised through Kick It directly supported the Jeff Gordon’s Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research, according to Graff. The first tournament in 2014 raised approximately $5,500 with the help of seven teams, according to Graff. “With Jeff Gordon’s matching funds, that was $11,000 (for the first

going to invite all the teams that participated last year back for 2016,” Graff said. “We’re going to probably start that late spring, early summer just so we can get a sense of how many teams from last year are interested in participating again.” Losing Karsyn was “extremely hard for everyone,” including children’s foundation namesake Jeff Gordon, Graff said. “Any time you lose a child to cancer, it’s something we all feel,” Graff said. “We all take it very personally because we all work so hard to raise money for a cure “You know, the (survival) rate for pediatric cancer is about 80 percent. That’s a five-year survival rate, but when you lose a child to cancer there’s so much unfulfilled promise there,” he continued, “and with Karsyn, the amount of people that she touched in the 12 years that she was with us, it’s incredible to think what she could have done in a full lifetime.” For more information about Kick It for Karsyn, visit the Kick It for Karsyn website at bit.ly/karsyn2016 or the event’s Facebook page.

Cancer victims, survivors remembered at ceremony By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com About a dozen people gathered Sunday afternoon at the Wabash County Courthouse to remember victims and survivors of cancer. The group listened as Brian Chamberlain of the Urbana Yoke Parish read the names of 19 people being honored and another 46 being remembered on the

Wabash County Cancer Society’s Tree of Caring. Chamberlain also read scripture and reminded those attending that while we all will one day pass, the only true way to get into Heaven is to accept Jesus Christ into one’s life. Theresa Sites, president of the Wabash County Cancer Society, was pleased with the turnout for the sixth annual

event. “I think it’s very special that we have this ceremony to honor those who have fought cancer, those who are still fighting cancer, and unfortunately those who lost the fight,” Sites said. “At least we know that we have someone – the Wabash County Cancer Society – that is there help people in Wabash County to deal with this difficult disease that takes lives.”

There was no project too large or difficult for him to tackle, his or anybody else’s. His adventures ranged from flying his P51 to blazing miles of trails through the woods on his mountain retreat. His passion for planes, motorcycles, fox hunting, exploring, tennis, woodworking, cigars was overshadowed only by his deep love for family and friends. Good hearted, intelligent, generous and fun-loving just to name a few of the reasons he was loved by all who knew him. Some of his happiest moments were spent entertaining family and friends around his fire pit, with a good cigar sharing captivating stories. Bruce will be remembered for his gentle ways and his amazing ability to make us all laugh. He was most proud of being a father, a grandpa and a papa Bruce.

CLEAN Team investigations lead to seven arrests By The Paper staff PERU — Two narcotic investigations by members of the CLEAN Team resulted in seven people being arrested on various drug related charges. An investigation by the CLEAN Team resulted in the arrests of Aaron Cardwell, 19, Destiny B. Hattabaugh, 20, Thomas Jones, 20, John R. Koontz, 29, and Thosha Koontz, 31, all from 66 N. Cass St. in Peru. Officers initiated an investigation after receiving a tip about suspected use and dealing of heroin. The investigation led to the development of probable cause for officers to obtain a Miami Superior Court I search warrant for the North Cass Street residence. During their

search, officers allegedly found marijuana, prescription medication, heroin, cocaine, a cutting agent, a loaded handgun, and drug paraphernalia. John and Thosha Koontz have two children, ages 7 and 10. The children were attending school at the time of the warrant service. They were eventually placed into the care of the Miami County Division of the Indiana Department of Child Protective Services. Five individuals were incarcerated in the Miami County Jail. Cardwell faces charges for possession of paraphernalia and visiting a common nuisance. Hattabaugh faces charges for possession of cocaine (under 5 grams), possession of paraphernalia, and visiting a

common nuisance. Jones faces charges for dealing a narcotic drug (under 5 grams) with a firearm, possession of a narcotic drug (under 5 grams) with a firearm, possession of paraphernalia, and visiting a common nuisance. John Koontz faces charges for maintaining a common nuisance, possession of a hypodermic needle, neglect of a dependent (2 counts), and possession of paraphernalia. Thosha Koontz was incarcerated on charges for maintaining a common nuisance and neglect of a dependent (2 counts). A second, unrelated, narcotics investigation by members of the CLEAN Team resulted in the arrests of Sean Murray, 30, and his wife, Alicia Murray, 32, from 460 East 2nd Street, Peru. During the course

of the investigation, officers obtained a search warrant for the Murray’s home. During a subsequent search, officers allegedly found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Two of the Murray’s three children were at the home during the warrant service. The children were placed into the care of the Miami County Division of the Indiana Department of Child Protective Services. Sean and Alicia Murray were both incarcerated in the Miami County Jail to face charges for possession of methamphetamine, maintaining a common nuisance, neglect of a dependent (two counts), and possession of paraphernalia.

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. Champions are born in the labor of defeat. The moment of victory is much too short to live for that alone and nothing else. Never, and I repeat, never equate losing with failure.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Rockin’ Johnny Band kicks off blues series By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Thursday Night Blues kicks off on March 3 with the Rockin’ Johnny Band at the Historic Eagles Theatre. Led by guitarist Johnny Burgin, the band performs a mix of Chicago blues, funk, rock and swing with no set list of songs that it plays

from. “I’m a traditional Chicago blues player,” Burgin told The Paper of Wabash County, “but we have a kind of new thing at every show. I’m trying to give people goose bumps. “It’s not like a concert of a repertoire. It’s trying to be a thrill ride.” Burgin will be joined on stage by guitarist Rick Kreher,

bassist John Sefner and drummer Mark Fornick. Even if residents don’t know a lot about blues, Burgin said he hopes they come out to the show. “Even if people don’t know a lot about blues or consider themselves big blues fans, I hope they come out to the show,” he said. “I’m going to give them a special show and I’ll be play-

ing songs off of my new album called ‘Greetings from Greaseland.’” The show begins at 7:30 p.m. with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 the day of the show. To purchase tickets, visit the Honeywell Center’s website at honeywellcenter.org or call the box office at 260563-1102.

21 Receptionist could be coming to City Hall THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

March 2, 2016

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash City Hall could be getting a receptionist after all. The Wabash City Council on Monday, Feb. 22, approved amended salary ordinance that, among other things, included an appropriation of $21,840 for the post of receptionist and office assistant. Mayor Scott Long, while still a council member late last year, attempted to have the position added to the salary ordinance. However, under state statute, changes to the ordinance could not be made until the year it was effective. The addition of the receptionist was one of several changes made to the ordinance. “Since we’ve hired a new park superintendent, there’s a reduction in salary in the salary ordinance,” Long noted during a public hearing on the appropriation of funds. “We’re also requesting additional funding to hire a receptionist for City Hall. And there’s a few other salary corrections that had to be made within

the fire department. “We’re reducing some funds and increasing some. The total for all will be $15,297 per the special ordinance.” Park Superintendent Adam Hall’s salary was reduced from $56,244 to $45,000. He was named to replace former Park Superintendent Todd Titus, who retired at the end of 2015 after more than 35 years on the job. Other changes included placing three assistant fire chiefs on the same salary level of $52,206, an increase of $3,822. In addition, a captain/medic post was added at a cost of $52,206, while the number of lieutenants was increased from one to three, a combined increase of $94,968. The number of lieutenant/medics was reduced from five to four, a savings of $49,406, while the number of firemen/medics was reduced from 20 to 17, a savings of $142,452. Finally, the number of first class firemen increased from one to two, up $45,563. In all, the changes to the fire department salaries increased the budget by $4,701. During the public hearing, local resident Paul Lewis asked if the

funds being saved in some portions of the salary ordinance would pay for receptionist’s post. Long said the funds saved would partially pay for the receptionist. Lewis then asked if any thought had been given to using existing personnel, rather than hiring another employee. “We have given consideration to that,” Long said. “I’m not sure where we would pull people from. Our ambulance billing and wastewater billing are extremely busy during the day.” Before the council unanimously passed the additional appropriation on first reading during the regular council meeting, several council members had questions as well. Council President Bryan Dillon asked if there was currently a job description for the receptionist post. Long said there currently was such a job description. “However we’re going to have to tweak that and add some additional responsibilities,” the mayor continued. Dillon then asked for an example of possible

changes. “Is the receptionist just going to answer phones, or will they be a backup to ambulance and-or sewage billing?” he asked. Long said the receptionist “in my mind answer phones, greet people at the door, she or he will be responsible for all of our equipment to the back vault, that includes supplies.” The receptionist also would be responsible for the city’s social media offerings. The post would also serve as a backup, should the mayor’s administrative assistant be away from

A Wabash man believes he doesn’t own an East Sinclair Street home the city ordered him to either repair or tear down. Kenneth Crace told The Paper of Wabash County that he did own the home – known as the Shiloh Historic Home, 45 E. Sinclair St. — for less than a week in 2015, and that the city should order its rightful owner to either tear it down or repair it. The Wabash Board of Works and Public Safety gave Crace, who Building Commissioner John Stephens said is the owner of record, 30 days to begin repairs or demolition. Stephens told the Board of Works on Feb. 17 that the home’s former owner, Scott Alber, transferred ownership to Crace. Crace, the building commissioner continued, presented a deed indicating that he had, in turn, transferred ownership to another party. However, Stephens said, the deed wasn’t notarized and had no signatures. The building commissioner testified that the building is structurally

failing, that there are holes in the roof, as well as no water, sewage or electrical service to the property. “They’re saying that I own the property, and I don’t” Crace said in an interview with The Paper. “I quit claimed deeded that property on May 11, 2015, and I owned it like six days in the last six years. “Scott Alber deeded it to me May 5. On May 11, I quit claim deeded it to Claude Ferguson, the guy across the street, who asked me to do that.” Ferguson, according to Crace, has the original deed, adding that, “Mr. Stephens knows that.” Crace, at one time, lived in the house, but said he hasn’t done so in at least six years. “Scott didn’t put a tarp on it or anything,” Crace said. Alber apparently received a letter from Stephens instructing him to fix up the property, Crace continued. He said Alber asked him to take over the property. “I said I will take it, but I’ve got to have money for fixing the problem,” Crace said. “So he gave me a thousand bucks, and I went right away and bought

all the materials to fix it.” Within days after buying the material, Crace said, Ferguson offered to take over the house, so he deeded it over to him. Crace said Greg Metz notarized the deed and he gave it to Ferguson. Metz confirmed to The Paper that he did notarize the deed for Crace. “All we did was notarize it,” Metz said. “He took it with him. What happened after that, I don’t know.” He did say that once the title was notarized and transferred to Ferguson, Crace was no longer the property owner. “Filing it with the recorder’s office just let’s the world know,” Metz said. Stephens told The Paper that he checked at the recorder’s office and also did a title search, and everything points to Crace as being the owner. “The city I love is bullying me,” Crace said. “They’re tormenting me. Why doesn’t Mr. Stephens go to Claude Ferguson and see the deed himself ? “He’s given me 30 days to produce a deed I don’t even possess.”

department heads more time to be out in the community. “That’s a possibility,” Long said, adding he is considering making the various forms available at the Building Commissioner’s office, as well as setting up a form for building payment fees, online. Council also unanimously approved the amended salary ordinance. Before doing so, Figert asked why only three assistant fire chiefs were listed in the salary ordinance, when the city recently swore in four assistant chiefs.

Fire Chief Barry Stroup said the fourth assistant chief serves as the medical director. Hiring a receptionist, the mayor said in response to another Council question, is still several weeks away. The salary ordinance must be approved a second time, likely at the Council’s March 14 meeting. After that, he noted, applications would be sought for two or three weeks, and then another week or so would be needed for reviewing and interviewing the applicants.

the office, or anywhere else in City Hall if needed. Long explained the reasoning behind creating the position. “The frustration is, and I think some of you experienced it, is calling City Hall and trying to get through to the person you want to get a hold of,” he said. “If you go through all the voice prompts and you get a voicemail, it’s pretty frustrating, to say the least. It’s not a very good way of doing business, in my opinion.” Council member Mitch Figert asked if the post would allow

Donations needed for “Chairs of Hope” project By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — For the third year, Manchester Junior Senior High School students will partner for “Chairs of Hope” – a project to raise funds for the Wabash County Cancer

On Monday, March 11, the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society is pleased to host Perry Hammock, Executive Director of the Indiana Bicentennial C o m m i s s i o n . Hammock will tell how the state aims to honor its 200 years of history, engaging all 6.5 million Hoosiers and leaving lasting legacies for future generations. Perry will talk about some of the wonderful projects underway, special dates and celebrations, and ways for all to be involved in this singular moment in Indiana history. The Bicentennial Commission works with volunteer coordinators in every county to identify projects that are worthy of designation as “ O f f i c i a l Bicentennial Legacy Projects.” To date, 814 projects have been endorsed representing all 92 counties. Bicentennial celebration is not limited to the state level. There are six Official Bicentennial Legacy Projects in Wabash County, four of them in North Manchester.

Stirring It Up with Angie Bear Victory Christian to air I will admit, I’m very “ old school” when it comes to equipping my kitchen.I have never bought into the idea that you need to have all of the latest newfangled kitchen gadgets to be a great cook. Give me a razor sharp chefs knife, a sharpening stone, mixing bowls, a set of good quality sauce pans, a ANGIE BAER few wooden spoons, then throw in an honest to goodness cast iron skillet and I’m one happy girl. Keeping it simple just works best for me. Sometimes it takes awhile, but you too will find your own style. This recipe for Deep Dish Sausage Pizza is my Husband’s favorite pizza. It is a tad bit time consuming to prepare but worth the extra effort.I incorporate the Italian spices into the crust making this pizza absolutely delicious. You may never order take out pizza again. Deep Dish Sausage Pizza Active dry yeast 1( 1/4 oz package) 2/3 cup warm water ( 110-115 degrees) 1 3/4 to 2 cups flour 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon basil 1 teaspoon marjoram 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon onion salt Topping 4 cups mozzarella cheese 1 medium onion, chopped 2 medium green peppers, chopped 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon basil 1/2 teaspoon marjoram 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 pound bulk sausage, cooked and drained 1 12 oz can diced tomatoes, drained 2 oz pepperoni, sliced In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast into warm water. Add 1 cup flour, oil, and seasonings. Beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Place onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic. 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour. Punch down; roll out into a 15 inch circle. Transfer to a well greased 12 inch oven proof skillet, letting dough drape over the edges. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. In another skillet, saute onion, green peppers, and seasonings in oil until tender.. Drain. Layer half of the mixture over crust. Layer with half of the parmesan, sausage, and tomatoes. Sprinkle with 2 cups mozzarella. Repeat layers. Fold crust over to form edge. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with pepperoni and remaining mozzarella. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until crust is browned. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
