Little League field dedicated to ‘Doc’ Pfeifer
Halfway house eyed for old jail
By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

For nearly as long as it’s been in existence, Dr. Harold “Doc” Pfeifer has been synonymous with the Wabash Little League program. A local optometrist, Pfeifer was instrumental in forming the League’s Minor League system. He also was a longtime coach, instructing the members of the Blackhawks for 16 years. On Saturday, Aug. 29, officials at the Wabash Little League made sure Pfeifer and the League would be forever linked together. League officials, during a brief ceremony at the former Little League diamond at Wabash City Park named the field in honor of Pfeifer. The site is now home for the League’s Challenger League. About a half dozen of Pfeifer’s former players, along with representatives from the League and others involved with the program were present for the ceremony. Also attending were Pfeifer’s son, Dick Pfeifer, who traveled here from his home in Arizona, and his daughter, Michela Ruehl, who traveled here from her home in Cincinnati.
A new purpose may have been found for the old Wabash County Jail building. Wabash County Commissioners on Monday, Aug. 31, granted three organizations – Wabash Marketplace Inc., SRKM Architecture and Serenity House – one year to finalize plans and find funding to refurbish the old jail. The building is located directly east of the current jail on West Main Street. If refurbished, the building could become an 11-bed residential recovery home for alcohol and drug offenders seeking to kick their habits. Brent A. Martin, architect and partner for SRKM and Steve Smith, director of Serenity House, made their pitches before commissioners, seeking a one-year extension into developing plans. Last year, WMI received one year to develop plans for the building. It received a threemonth extension earlier this year, largely because the agency’s involvement with the city’s Stellar Grant program. Martin, in his presentation, admitted the building has “suffered under some neglect for a period of years. It has been abandoned.” “However, if you read our report, you’ll see we feel structurally the building is sound,” he continued. “We feel it is restorable. And one of the key considerations there is finding an adaptive reuse. It doesn’t do any good to spend the money in restoring it without an intended purpose.” Martin also admitted that there is a great deal of peeling paint and other cosmetic prob-
Origins of the dedication League official Ronnie Osborne had the idea to dedicate the field in Pfeifer’s honor, League President Bryan Dillon told those present. “We wanted to rehabilitate this diamond,” Dillon said, standing in front of a covered plaque that would soon be unveiled. “Ronnie took this project, spearheaded it, worked countless hours on this field, and this is what you see as the result.

‘Transformer’ statue displayed at Metal Source By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Optimus Prime, leader of the fictional robot characters the Autobots, has been spotted at Metal Source in Wabash. The local scrap metal recycling and manufacturing facility assembled the famous Transformer on Friday, Aug. 21. The statue was months in the making Metal Source owner Ben Gebhart told The Paper of Wabash County. Prior to assembly, Optimus travelled more 8,000 miles from its original creator in Thailand.

lems in the building. “I don’t know that those are big, scary issues on a restoration like this,” he added. “I didn’t see anything as we assessed it, other than some minor structural issues that are easily resolvable in terms of the overall soundness of the building.” There is some deterioration on the roof and on an eave, but most of the eave is structurally sound, Martin told Commissioners. There also are some “non-historic porches” which would be removed from the building. He said that tests for such things as asbestos, mold and lead paint have yet to be conducted. “You have suspected asbestos pipe covering, suspected mold in the basement, and it would be the shock of my life if you didn’t have lead paint in that building,” Martin said. “None of those are particularly difficult issues to address.” Restoring the building would cost an estimated $847,900, Martin said. However, if just the exterior and the interior of the sheriff ’s office were restored, the cost would be $617,900. The remaining interior would be restored later. Potential funding resources, he said, are a Federal Home Loan Bank Housing Grant, grants from such sources as the Historic Preservation Commission, Neighborhood Assistance Program and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Administration, as well as funds from the Wabash County Commissioners, the local criminal justice system and local philanthropy. Once completed, Serenity House would then be responsible for utilities, maintenance

Town ‘painted purple’ in support of Relay for Life By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Local residents and out-ofstate visitors alike walked, ran and donated at the Relay for Life of Wabash County on Saturday, Aug. 29. At approximately 9:30 a.m., the event’s turnout was already considered “fantastic,” according to Amanda Wiley, event chair. “We already have 90 runners this morning (in the 5k race) and that has already beat our
goal by, I think, 20 from last year,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. Wiley’s tune didn’t change even after the event ended at 8 p.m. “We had a great turn out,” Wiley said. “It was consistent all day long. I think we just had to compete with a lot of people, but we’re pleased so we’re going to go back to the table and see if this is what we want to do or change a few things. “It was a great event.” (continued on page 9)

‘Transformer’ statue displayed at Metal Source... continued from the front page
The transformer replica was crafted entirely out of scrap metal. Metal Source assembled the statue on Friday, Aug. 21, though it is not yet complete. Owner Ben Gebhart said that he plans to have scrap metal surrounding the statue’s two-foot pedestal and give Optimus a Metal Source sign to hold. Photo by Emma Rausch As a scrap metal art collector, Gebhart said he is always on the lookout for interesting pieces. “It’s an Optimus Prime replica made entirely out of scrap metal,” he continued. “I collect status made out of scrap metal, but this is by far my biggest.” Gebhart admitted

Wellbrooke raises food for Community Cupboard By The Paper staff Wellbrooke of Wabash donated food and money to the Community Cupboard of Wabash as part of its “Independence from Hunger” food drive. The event takes place in June and July at the facility. All Wellbrooke of Wabash employees were encouraged to donate food, cash or personal time, all of which was converted into pounds of food. Residents and families alao joined in the competition. “Wellbrook of Wabash is committed to strengthening the community we serve,” Wellbrooke Executive Director Ruth Fuchs said. “Supporting organizations like the
Beverly Ferry, Living Well in Wabash County, accepts a check from Rachel Fuchs, Executive Director of Wellbrooke of Wabash, for the Community Cupboard food pantry. Photo by Joseph Slacian Community Cupboard helps to make a difference by improving the quality of life in our community.
“With partnerships such as the Community Cupboard and Living Well, we are constantly striving to ake a posi-
tive difference in Wabash.” The Community Cupboard is operated by Living Well in
Wabash County, which has served Wabash County since 1974. “The agency’s food distribution program started decades ago with the government cheese commodity program for any and all seniors and has, over the years, evolved to serve Wabash County residents of all ages dealing with hunger insecurity,” Living Well CEO Beverly Ferry said. “Government commodities are still part of the pantry stock, but today represent just a portion of the almost 500,000 pounds of food distributed annually. “It takes partnerships like this to make
seeking final approval of the spending plan. Ultimately, the state’s Department of Local Government Finance will approve the budget. “This year’s proposed budget was $13,037,422, which is more than $1million less than last year’s proposed budget and $410,000 less than last year’s approved budget,” City Schools’ business manager Matt Stone told the council. The cuts are needed because the state legislature, in its funding formula, cut $600,000 from the district’s General Fund. That fund pays for the majority of items, including teacher’s salaries.
The Wabash City Council approved a $13.03 million budget for the Wabash City Schools on Monday, Aug. 24. Because the Council appoints the school board, state statute requires that the appointing board give final approval to the budget. The Council got its first look at the budget on Monday, Aug. 24, during a public hearing before its regularly scheduled meeting. School officials will be back before the Council on Sept. 14,
In June when discussing the preliminary budget, Stone told the Council, “We do believe we can make this work without costing anyone any jobs. Between some attrition – we’ve had some people retire who we probably won’t replace, we’ve had had some teachers leave, we can rehire younger ones or we cannot rehire. We’ll probably need some adjustments to our benefits package. We can get to the $10.2 or $10.3 number and not cost any positions.” He said that most of the $410,000 the school board reduced the budget by came from the General Fund.
While the budget is down, City Schools taxpayers could see a slight increase in the tax rate, Stone predicted. “Our proposed tax rate is $1.06 (per $1,000 assessed valuation), a little higher than last year, but less than average for the last 10 years, which was $1.12,” Stone said. “The tax rate is still a little below average and our budget is 410,000 less.” Council member Joan Haag praised Stone and the district for their work on the budget. “I think he does a tremendous job, considering what the state puts on him,” she said.
The food drive is a company-wide initiative started in each of the 96 Trilogy Health Services communities.

NORTH MANCHESTER Town officials agree that the need for a housing development in North Manchester has been discussed on numerous occasions over the past 25 years, and now the town has a unique opportunity to satisfy that need. In a recent news release, officials identified the main reasons that nothing has been able to be done to create a housing development over the last
quarter of a century: no land was available in a large enough quantity, and no developer was interested in coming to town unless land became available. The Town Council will have a hearing on the matter Sept. 2. “When I was Town Manager 20 years ago, there was a desire and a demand for new housing,” said Town Council President Chris Garber. “At that time, I was even on a Housing Committee started by the Town Forum, but we soon discovered some frustrating circumstances. “We had ideas of land to develop, however, land in this area is pretty hard to get your hands on.
“We don’t have to annex any land to do this because it’s all ready and available. We do take some farmland out of rotation if we develop the land; however, we will continue to rent the land to farmers until it’s developed.” — Chris Garber NM Town Council Presidenta Also, as we talked to developers that we thought might be interested, we found that, frankly, there was just more opportunity in bigger cities than we could offer. “Ultimately though, we did decide that, since developers weren’t interested in coming in, purchasing the
land and developing it, we needed to figure out what kind of partnership we could arrange instead. In the end, that came down to us purchasing the land.”
92 acres available Now, 92 acres of land owned by Peabody Retirement
Community, located on the north side of 9th Street from the railroad tracks to SR 13, has become available, and Peabody has agreed to sell the land to the Town of North Manchester. According to the release, the town has also been made aware of a “highly qualified and experienced” developer that is interested in working with the town to create the possibility of 140 building lots on that land. “I wouldn’t say we’ve been aggressively pursuing land all these years, but we’ve been looking at options,” Garber explained. “In the spring, we learned that the Peabody land was going to be available, but it originally was going to be auctioned off, and the Town would have had a difficult time bidding at an auction.” Garber went on to say that the town and Peabody officials had two appraisals done and then averaged them in order to agree on a purchase price based on those appraisals. “The town is very thankful to Peabody for realizing that they can help make all this work by deciding to sell the land to the Town,” he continued. “We appreciate their willingness to work with us, and we especially appreciate the efforts of Al Schlitt, Peabody board member and local attorney, as he helped both the Town and Peabody reach an agreement. “It takes a town a little while to close on a deal like this. We started on it about two weeks ago, and we’ll do the final agreement in September if all goes well, so we would hopefully own it by October or early November. Likely, nothing can happen this winter, but a real aggressive look would consider whether we could have something ready for next spring or summer.”

NM eyes purchasing land for housing development... continued from page 4 considered equally surprising that the town knew of a developer that was currently interested in investing in the community. “We’ve had the interest in partnering with a developer for years, knowing that it was about the only way to get a developer into town,” Garber said. “In a perfect world we would have been planning this all out for years, but as it happens this is kind of a one-shot deal to get this land, so we’re pleasantly surprised to already have a developer interested. “Discussions have taken place with the housing developer, and initial thoughts are that we will purchase the land, and the developer will be in charge of all the infrastructure that will be required to create the building lots – roads, sewer, water, etc. “The beauty of this land is that, in terms of initial development – such as running water, sewer, and roads to the site – it’s all there already. All the water and sewage is running along 9th Street,
so if you were building a road into that subdivision you would just tee off of it and you’re ready to move forward.” Given the number of years it has taken for the dream of a local housing development to reach this point, it’s obvious that the pursuit of viable land has been a painstaking endeavor for Town officials. Thus, the fact that this land already exists within the town limits is just one more reason it seems so opportune. “We don’t have to annex any land to do this because it’s all ready and available,” Garber added. “We do take some farmland out of rotation if we develop the land; however, we will continue to rent the land to farmers until it’s developed.”
Project is in phases “We also plan to do this in phases, so we’re not committing the whole property to the development at this point. The developers and the realtors are trying to get a feel for what the yearly need
would be, and then the developer would likely purchase enough of the land from us to do that development. “I do want to stress that these are not low-income building lots we’re looking at, but rather $150,000$230,000 homes. So, we just think this housing development is extremely important to the overall economic health of the town, and with so many things falling into place it really makes this seem like a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Julia Felgar, local realtor and principal broker and owner of Manchester Realty, added, “It indeed has been a topic of discussion and frustration for a long time that there has not been anywhere in our community to build a housing development. There are potential residents who really like North Manchester and all the amenities we offer, but cannot find the type of home they desire within our present housing stock. Those folks are looking for a new home that is a ‘turnkey’ residence –
Dukes expands services at Wabash office By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Lutheran Health Physicians’ Dukes Medical Group expanded its offerings at its Wabash County office. The group, located at 807 N. Cass St., had a grand opening and the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce conducted a ribbon cutting c e r e m o n y Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 26. “We’ve had our OB-GYN specialties out of this facility for quite some time,” Dukes Marketing Director Rachel Neighbors said. “So this is just an expansion of that service, just to bring some more specialties over to the Wabash market to see those patients.” Doctors in internal medicine, cardiology and orthopedics will
now have office hours at the facility. “They’ll be seeing patients over here one day a week, Monday through Friday, depending on the day,” Neighbors said. “They’ll have an office location in Peru as well, so if you need to get in sooner and that Wabash day is full or doesn’t fit your schedule, you can come and see them at Peru as well. “So the two locations are really to offer convenience for patients, whether you want to stay in Wabash and get care close to home.” Four providers will be located at the office, Neighbors said. Three of the providers also have nurse practitioners, and each have their own staff. Surgical procedures will still take place at Dukes in Peru.
“They are set up with a procedure room here for small, out-of-office procedures, but any inpatient or extensive out-patient procedures would be done in Peru,” Neighbors said. Debra Close, the CEO of Dukes, was among those at the celebration. “We are very delighted to be able to provide specialists – our cardiologist, our OB-GYN, our internal medicine physicians, our orthopedic surgeons – over her to provide care locally and to keep people locally,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “We understand it’s inconvenient for our local residents to have to travel out of town for that care. We want to be able to provide care for all of our friends and neighbors here.”
one that does not require any renovation and will be maintenance-free for many years. New homes in a new development will fill that need.”
Public hearing Set On Wednesday, Sept. 2, the Town of North Manchester’s Redevelopment Commission will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. in the Public Safety Building to hear from residents regarding the proposed purchase of 92 acres for the purpose of creating a housing development, as well as to consider resolutions to sell bonds to make the purchase. “Although many details are still to be worked out as the effort moves forward, the first step in the direction of creating a housing development is acquiring the land,” Garber concluded. “Having a quality housing developer interested in putting homes on that land just proves the point that, if land is available, the development of that land for
homes will follow. “Obviously, we’re hoping for support from residents during the public hearing; but, the reality is that we just want to make absolutely sure people understand what we’re propos-
ing. We want people to be informed, and awareness is key, because we don’t want people to feel like we tried to catch anybody off-guard with this purchase.” According to Garber, Town
Council will meet in regular session following the public hearing, and assuming all goes well during the hearing, Council will then sign the letter of intent.

City bans smoking near park playgrounds By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com It may soon be illegal to smoke within 50 feet of any playground equipment, bleachers or grandstands in parks around the City of Wabash. The Wabash City Council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance banning people from smoking near the playgrounds on Aug. 24. Wabash City Council member Scott Long suggested the ban when the Council met on Aug. 14. The passage was not without a lengthy discussion as to, among other things, smoking should be banned throughout the park, not just around the playground equipment. Council member Doug Konkle asked what was considered playground equipment, wondering if
“If you can smell the smoke that comes from the end of a cigarette or what is exhaled, you are inhaling the secondhand smoke and have the potential of being at risk with the effects that secondhand smoke causes.”
— Dan Gray Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition executive director the definition might include basketball courts. City Attorney Doug Lehman said he doubted basketball courts could be considered playground equipment, adding “people playing basketball will have a hard time smoking.” Konkle also suggested that enforcing the ordinance might be difficult. “Granted it is difficult to police,” Lehman replied. “On the other hand, think it’s also difficult to police state law that
says you can’t smoke within eight feet of a public building. “I don’t know how many storeowners are going to chase people away that are standing outside their building. I don’t know how many police officers are going to go downtown and see who is outside the buildings. But having it in there may be a deterrent to others doing it. It certainly raises awareness.” Mayor Robert Vanlandingham clarified comments he made at the Aug. 10
meeting when he said that the council could pass any type of ordinance it wanted, but how to enforce it was the question. “I don’t want anyone to take it that we shouldn’t do this,” he said. “I think it’s a good ordinance and I think you should pass it. If you have some signs up, and at least you’re making an effort.” He said banning smoking around playground equipment is a start. “One of these days you’re probably going to seek that in city parks all together,” he said. “But I don’t think right now need to get hung up on enforcement part. We’re trying to make an improvement and do step one before take another big step on the next one.”

1,409 adults and 17 infants and children, G r a y noted. Secondhand smoke costs Indiana approximately $1.3 billion in excess medical expenses and premature loss of life, or about $201 per person each year. The U.S. Surgeon General says there is

‘A bold move’ Dan Gray, executive director of the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition, praised the Council’s action. “It was a bold move of the city council to protect the health of our children by make a policy change that would disrupt a pattern/behavior of some of our Wabash citizens,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “However, it will affect every patron and visitor of the parks. Clean air and clean park grounds makes a pleasant environment for everyone. “Our culture is changing and it is important we be a leader in that change. Because of the proven health effects of secondhand smoke, smoking cigarettes in public places is no longer the norm of life. If you can smell the smoke that comes from the end of a cigarette or what is exhaled, you are inhaling the secondhand smoke and have

gested tabling the ordinance to get a better definition of playground equipment. “I consider parks from the front entrance to rear exit a play area,” he said, noting he has gone through a similar discussion with Little League at the Morrett Sports Complex. “Prior to this year you could smoke in the whole parking lot,” he said. “That was abused. People crept up on sidewalks and on the ball areas, leaning over the fences smoking. We drew the line and said no smoking period out there. “My concern is what do the people think that are over here in the pavilion having a cookout and somebody’s smoking. We probably ought to table this and put our heads together before we put something in ordinance form, and possibly discuss making all parks smoke free, or learn how to word this better and make the quality of life better for all our parks.” However, Council member Dan Townsend said he believed the ordinance was fine as it was written. “I sent emails (to the city) before I ever was on council about this,” he said. “I think the play area is an area that we don’t need any smoke for the kids. As far as the whole park, I guess we can talk about this down the road. “Right now, my feelings about this – and these are just Dan’s feelings – is the

Smith told Commissioners that Serenity House residents are charged $125 per week to stay at the facility. Once in the program, the must live by some 48 rules, and attend at least seven recovery meetings each week, and find and maintain a job. Rules, he told The Paper of Wabash County after the meeting, include a zero tolerance policy. “There’s no drinking or drugging, whatsoever,” he said. “If you get caught using you’ll have to leave. We do give random drug screenings. “Also, there would be no fighting. It’s about learning structure and accountability, something you (continued on page 9)

Town ‘painted purple’ in support of Relay for Life... continued from the front page This year, the Relay was shortened to a one-day event after the event committee decided that it better fit the Wabash County community, the committee announced at its kick-off meeting on Feb. 5. While normally the Relay started at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning and continued throughout the night until Sunday morning, the participants were enthusiastic about the change, according to Wiley. “I heard really good comments from everybody and they said that they liked the one-day,” she said. “I mean the survivors enjoyed it because they can come down and be a part of the whole entire day and I think this what we’ll continue to do. We might adjust a few hours here and there, but overall it seems like it has been a good event. People seem really positive about it. So I feel like we can chalk it up as a success.” Vice chair Aaron Holley said that this year the committee also paid extra focus in getting the whole
community involved, including various downtown businesses. “We have a lot of things to tie in the downtown to Relay this year,” Holley said. “We have a trolley going back and forth during the day. Some businesses are donating a percent of their sales today to us. So it’s been really great to get the community downtown, in general, of course but also for Relay as well.” Prior to the event, the committee hung 57 banners in the downtown area and “painted the town purple, which is huge because it was only 40 last year,” Wiley said. Holley and Wiley both agreed that residents support the Relay for Life cause because cancer affects everyone. “I like to say because I also handle team development and getting teams involved,” Holley said, “I like to say, no matter at what level you can participate, whether it be financially or walking the track, we want every(continued on page 12)

and I do on a daily basis. When you’re out using and doing what you do, you kind of slide.” Smith said he is a recovering alcoholic and addict. “That’s what it takes for these men and women – alcoholics and addicts helping alcoholics and addicts,” he said. “That’s what we push. We’re just there to provide a safe, clean, structured environment for residents to learn how to live clean and sober and be a productive member of society.” Serenity House now operates six facilities – three in Auburn and three in Warsaw. Some Wabash County people are residents of one of the facilities, Smith noted. Residents are fed for about $2.50 per day, Smith told The Paper
of Wabash County, noting that much of the food comes from such programs as Second Harvest Food Bank and Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry. The next step, he said, is to make sure there is a need and support for such a program in Wabash County. WMI Board President Jason Callahan was pleased with Monday’s results. “I’m very happy,” he said, noting that Indiana Landmarks placed the building on the 10 Most E n d a n g e r e d Buildings in Indiana in 2014. “I think it’s a win, win, win. If we can restore the building, if we can repurpose the building, and then it serves a need and helps people in our community, I feel good about that.”
Caregivers of cancer patients and survivors were also honored at the Relay for their time and care toward family, friends and other loved ones. Photo by Emma Rausch

Little League field dedicated to ‘Doc’ Pfeifer... continued from the front page “And Ronnie said from day one, ‘We’re going to name the field after Doc Pfeifer.’” The City of Wabash and the Wabash Park Board agreed to the plan. Many have been involved with the League in the past, Dillon noted, and if it weren’t for them, it wouldn’t have been as successful as it has been. “We’re still playing Little League in Wabash, Indiana,” he continued. “We’re still putting good all-star
teams on the field to play all over the state. And that’s wonderful. “And we still have sponsors today that were sponsoring teams back when you were playing, and that speaks volumes.” Dillon admitted that the honor “was long overdue.” “Wabash Little League should have honored Doc Pfeifer long ago,” he said. “But it’s never too late.”
His family is honored “This is a wonderful
honor for our family,” Dick Pfeifer said following the dedication. “But it also is a wonderful honor for the Blackhawk family. We share the same thing; we share my father.” Doc Pfeifer was born in West Lebanon, one of 11 children in a Ger man-immigrant family. “As he grew up on the farm, his father wouldn’t allow him to play sports,” his son recalled. “It wasn’t necessary. You had to work on the farm. “Luckily, his older

Playing for Doc Steve “Curly” Hodson was on hand for the dedication ceremony. After all, he, along with two brothers, were part of the many youngsters who played for Doc Pfeifer. “Doc Pfeifer loved the game of baseball,” Hodson told The Paper of Wabash County. “He taught everyone who played for him to love the game of baseball. He taught several of us how to pitch.” (continued on page 16)

Gene Hoover, 90 World War II veteran Feb. 11, 1925 – Aug. 23, 2015
Surrounded by angels, earthly and celestial, Gene Hoover, age 90, entered eternity into the open arms of His Lord and Savior on Sunday, Aug. 23, 2015, in Matthews, N.C. He had been in declining health for several years, but he fought the good fight until the very end. Gene was born Feb. 11, 1925, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to H. Emil Hoover and Anna Myers Hoover. The family soon returned to Wabash, taking up residence on the family farm, where Gene and his three brothers were raised. He graduated Linlawn High School in 1943, president of his class. He then joined the Army Air Corp, but World War II ended before he finished flight school. He returned to civilian life in 1945, and soon after, met and married his true love, Marjorie Ann Flynn, who was also from Wabash. They were married 61 years, had 3 children and lived in Indiana, Colorado and Arizona. He was predeceased by his wife, Marj; his daughter, Chrisanne, his parents, Emil and Anna, and one brother, Richard (Dick) Hoover. He is survived by his daughter, Cyndi Webster and husband, Jim, of Matthews, N.C. and his son, Cam and wife, Linda of Roxbury, Wis. He is also survived by grandson, Rhet Scherschligt and wife, Michelle, and their children, Myranda, Makylee, Annyka, Amelya and Libby Anne of Midvale, Utah; granddaughter, Lindsay Dahl and husband, Kris, and daughters, Samantha and Madisanne of Waddell, Ariz.; granddaughter, Amber Mack and husband, Wally, and children, Noah and Elijah of Roxbury, Wis.; and grandson, Seth Hoover and wife, Susana, and children, Riley, Alexis and Ysabele of Wittmann, Ariz.

Gene was a wonderful husband and father, and a very good friend to many. He could always be counted on when anyone needed help, even if it was at great cost to himself. He was smart and loved to be busy. He could fix anything that needed fixing! He also had a wry sense of humor which tickled all who knew him, even those who were on the receiving end of one of his pranks. Praise God for these heartfelt memories of one of the very best of men we’ve ever known. We, along with Our Maker, say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” McDonald Funeral Home, 231 Falls Avenue, Wabash, was entrusted with arrangements for a graveside gathering and burial in Falls Cemetery on Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2015, at 2 p.m. The family asks that no flowers be sent, but that a memorial gift to the charity of one’s choice be made in Gene’s honor if so desired.

On Sept. 11, local firemen from around Wabash County will again honor those who lost their lives on 9/11 by taking their turn climbing stairs to symbolize the 343 lives lost that day. Firemen and first responders will gather at the Wabash County YMCA to remember and celebrate those who died in the line of duty during the attacks that day. This year the firefighters are accepting donations during the event to send kids to Hoosier Burn Camp. The camp is for kids 818 who have suffered a burn injury. The cost to send one child to camp is $1,100. The goal for 9/11 is to raise enough money to send a child to the camp.
Officers of the Wabash Elks Lodge No.471 present Wabash firefighters Jeff Krom and Dennis Vigar a check for $500 to be used toward the Sept. 11 fundraising campaign to send a child to the Indiana Burn Camp. Officers participating in the presentation were Exalted Ruler Joseph Slacian, Esquire Wendy Frazier, Chaplain Jennie Terrell and Lecturing Knight Wade Weaver. Photo provided Last week, the Wabash Elks Lodge No.471 contributed $500 toward the firefighters’ efforts. Donations may be left at the Wabash Fire Department or mailed to the station. Firemen will have a boot at the Y on 9/11
to accept donations. In addition, all guests at the Y on 9/11 will be able to purchase day passes to the Y for $3.43 that will be donated to the Burn Camp effort. The firemen will begin their climbs at the Y on the stair step-
pers at about 5 a.m. and will continue all day long. This has become an annual event for fire personnel and one that is taken seriously as those involved normally wear their entire fire equipment to make the climb.

County has 36 Safe Place sites By The Paper staff
19983
The Wabash County Safe Place and Host Home programs continue to expand. “We are so excited to have 36 businesses throughout Wabash County as Safe Place sites,” said Stephen Ward, program coordinator. Safe Place sites are businesses that are trained to provide youth immediate access to assistance
during times of crisis. Locations included but not limited to, are the: local school buildings, fire stations, libraries, police stations. Safe Place is a crisis intervention program that provides youth with immediate assistance during times of need. Two trained Youth Services Bureau of Huntington County staff are on call at all times with one being
a Wabash County resident. Youth report family issues, peer relationships, suicidal thoughts and other issues as reasons to seek support. The Host Home program is a runaway and homelessness prevention program also geared towards youth. This provides a youth, if it is necessary, with a safe place to stay for up to two weeks while services are put into place to
help return the youth to their own families. “We are in need of families to serve as Host Homes in Wabash County,” said Tom Curry, Safe Place/Host Home staff in Wabash. To become a Host Home there are some safety requirements, along with required training. There is no per diem for a youth placed in a Host Home however there is ongoing support from
the Safe Place/Host Home staff. “The agency is looking for ways to increase the community’s awareness of the program and to ensure youth are aware of the program. If an organization, church, youth group, etc. would like a presentation about the programs that can be arranged,” said Jan Williams, executive director.

“He instilled family,” Hodson recalled. “He only talked about financing one time. He said, ‘Buy stocks and leave them alone.’” Hodson brought a binder with pictures of the teams he played with. In a small wooden and glass case he also had a baseball given to him in 1964 by Doc Pfeifer. During the dedication, Hodson talked more about playing for the Blackhawks. “When we had practice, if Doc hit you a ground ball and you missed it, you knew there was another one coming right now,” he said. “You didn’t dare miss two. “He taught us the cardinal rules of defense. How many men are on base? How many outs? What am I going to do if the ball’s hit to me?” Hodson also talked about taking to the mound when he was a 9-year-old. “Doc put me in to pitch against the Pirates,” he recalled. “A big kid by the name of Bill Cantrell was a
12-year-old. … I’m pitching into him, and boom, he lines one right back at me. “I put my mitt up to protect my head, and the ball stuck. My dad was already coming out of the stands because he thought he killed me.” Hodson also recalled the lone game the Blackhawks lost when he was a 12-year-old. “We lost to the Cardinals; we went 191,” he said. “Dan Archer was the pitcher. That was the only game Doc ever let him pitch. “After the game, Doc lined us up on the third base line, and we ran wind sprints that night. The only game we lost. Our parents knew it was coming, because the ballgame was as instilled in them as it was in us. “Doc loved the game and we love Doc for it. To this day, we love the game, and we love Doc.”
Other honors Former President
League Alan
Zimmerman presented the Pfeifer children several gifts to remember the dedication ceremony. One piece was a laminated story from The Paper of Wabash County written about Doc Pfeifer’s long career as an optometrist. Another was framed copies of their father’s optometrist license, and they also received a copy of the original inscription on the sign. In addition, Dillon noted that the Blackhawks have long been associated with the League. “Ever since I was involved with Little League, the Blackhawks have always been associated with it,” he said. “I’ve always heard we will still have the Blackhawks. Hopefully, years after I’m through and my kids are grown up and evolved as volunteers, we will still have the Blackhawks. “We will do whatever we can to make sure the Blackhawks stay a Wabash Little League team.”

Scramble raises funds for youth golf The George M. and Edith L. Merkle Memorial Golf Endowment was created at the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County by the
Merkle children in memory of their parents. The endowment supports education, learning, and participation in the game of golf for youth from
areas served by the Sycamore Golf Club, which includes all surrounding counties. Sycamore Golf Club hosted the 2nd Annual Scramble for
Apache football team downs Alex, 42-7 By Gary Andrews The Wabash football was out to show they are for real this year on Friday night and did just that as it beat up on Alexandria, 42-7 The Apaches grabbed a 7-0 lead when Braxtin Rowley scored on a blocked punt. After a defensive stand the Apaches went to work on offense. On the back of Luke Proctor the Apaches marched down the field and were on the five when time ran out. To start the second the Apache drive stalled when the offense went backwards, then missed a field goal attempt to give the ball back to Alexandria. The Apaches would recover a backwards pass late in the second and take advantage of it. Sammy Hipskind hit Ben Dillon for 31 yards before a Hipskind keeper put the Apaches up 14-0. The Wabash defense would hold once more. After a blocked punt that Reese McDonald ran to the 3, Luke Proctor would score as the Apaches increased their lead to 210. Again the defense would come up big with Matt Jones recovering a fumble with 26 seconds left. The second half would be more of the same as the Apaches totally dominated the game. In the third again it was Proctor carrying the load before Hipskind hit Dillon to the 25. Three more Proctor carries and it was 28-0. Wabash would tack on two more scores in the fourth. Proctor scored from 15 yards out with the Apaches capping off the night with Owen Yeadon scoring from 25 yards out for the 42-0 lead. Alexandria would score late in the game to avoid the shutout as Wabash beats up on the Tigers 42-7.
Bluffton downs Manchester, 41-20 By Gary Andrews BLUFFTON — The Manchester football team played on the road for the second week in a row, taking on a talented Bluffton team and falling 41-20. Bluffton would get on the board first, scoring with 2:16 left in the first to grab a 7-0 lead. The Squires would respond, getting an 11 yard scoring run from Clay Sellers with 4 seconds left to knot the score at 7 after one. Bluffton would do all the scoring in the second quarter, crossing the goal line twice to take a 21-7 lead to the locker room. Midway through the third quarter, Clay Sellers would score a second time with 6:57 left to cut the deficit to 21-14, but the Tigers answered less than a minute later to open a 28-14 lead, then score once more to make it 34-14. The Squires would get closer with 1:16 remaining when Bailey Ness scored to make it 34-20. The only score in the fourth came from Bluffton as the Tigers defended home turf 41-20. Bailey Ness was 10 of 19 for 95 yards. Rushing: Bailey Ness 10 for 88 yards, Josh Shepherd 7 for 36 yards, Kane Gable 2 for 20 yards, Clay Sellers 10 for 64 yards. Receiving: Keelan Norwood 5 for 76 yards, Hayes Sturtsman 1 for 11 yards, Kane Gable 9 for 95 yards.
Kids Golf Outing sponsored by Parkview Health on Aug. 1. The scramble welcomed participants from several surrounding counties and realized an outstanding $10,500 to be contributed to the endowment. Grants from the endowment will help make golf more affordable for kids by supporting youth golf programming, including, but not limited to, golf lessons, summer camps, golf scrambles, golf equipment, transportations to and from Sycamore, and junior high school golf team and league development.

There were many other contests throughout the day, with winners receiving merchandise. Winner of the putting
contest was Jerry Pottenger. Longest putt winner was Chuck Bivens, and longest drives were shot by Eric Myers and Monica Hollars. Gene Merkle, son of George and Edith, was the winner of the ‘closest to the pin’ competition. All participating golfers received door prizes during the awards meal.

Norse pick up road win against Peru By Gary Andrews PERU — The Northfield football team traveled to Peru Friday and picked up a convincing 42-26 road win. With a couple opportunities in the first quarter to score, the only points the Norse could put on the board came from a safety as Northfield led 2-0 after one. It didn’t take the Norse long to get on the board in the second quarter. After the defense held, Dylan Brown would take back the punt 65 yards to pay dirt to give Northfield a 9-0 lead after the Noah Shear extra point. With the defense dom-
inating the offense would mount a long drive on their second possession and score on a Drake Richter keeper with 4:27 left to grab a 15-0 lead. Peru would respond with 29.6 left on the clock when Brady Miller scored from 29 yards out for a 15-6 halftime score. Northfield would deliver two quick blows in the third when Jared Short scored on a 71 yard run with 10:23 left and was followed by Drake Richter scoring from 76 yards out with 7:33 remaining to grab a 29-6 lead. Brady Miller would find the end zone for a second time as time ran out in the third to
cut the Northfield lead to 29-12 with a quarter to play. Peru recovered a Norse fumble early in the fourth and had a shot to cut the lead some more when John Schuler picked off a Cunningham pass to stop the threat. The Norse would take advantage of the pick with Jackson Beery scoring from 9 yards out with 7:12 left to make it 35-12. Peru would then make things interesting, getting a 45 yard scoring reception from Kordell Prescott with 4:46 left, then a second score from Brady Miller from 1 yard with 2:55 left to close the gap to 35-26. After recover-
ing the onside kick, the Norse caught Peru looking for a run to milk the clock when Drake Richter hit Jared Short over the middle for a 55 yard scoring strike for the final score of the game. The Norse offense racked up 309 yards on the ground and 105 yards through the air for 411 total yards. Drake Richter was 4 for 6 for 105 yards, 1TD Rushing : Drake Richter 114 yards, Jared Short 95 yards, Jensen Freiden 42 yards, Jackson Beery 42 yards, Kyle Reed 3 yards, Matt Coe 1 yard, Jared Vigar 1 yard Rec : Jared Short 1

ter as neither team could find the endzone and the first quarter ended where the game started at 0-0. At the 10:44 mark of the second quarter the Knights drew first blood when Peyton Trexler took a punt back 77 yards to give Southwood a 7-0 lead. The Eagles would respond with 5:52 left on a 5 yard run by Joel Durkes to knot the score at 7, but Trexler would answer that score with a 90 yard kick off return for a 14-7 lead. Oak Hill would get the next score at 3:12 when they pinned the Knights in the end zone for a safety as the first half ended with Southwood leading 14-9. Oak Hill would strike first in the third quarter when Adam McDivitt scored from 35 yards out with 8:33 remaining to give the Eagles a 16-14 lead. Oak Hill would extend their lead with 4:15 left when Durkes broke loose for a 51 yard scoring run to make it 23-14. Again it would be Trexler finding the end zone as Carson
Blair connected with Trexler for a 14 yard scoring strike as the Knights closed the gap to 23-21 with 1:03 left in the third quarter. With the Knights driving late in the fourth it looked as though Oak Hill would put the game out of reach when McDivitt ran an interception back 60 yards for a score with 1:54 left to grab a 30-21 lead, but the Knights weren’t done. With 41.9 left on the clock Blair found Blake Martz for a 38 yard touchdown catch to make it 30-27. The Knights would then execute an onsides kick that was recovered by Martz, but the Knights ran out of time in the 30-27 loss. Carson Blair was 10 of 29 for 146 yards, 2 TD Rushing : Jon Berlier 73 yards Rec : Andrew Finicle 1 for 14 yards, Blake Martz 3 for 78 yards, 1TD, Peyton Trexler 2 for 22 yards, 1TD, Matt Cox 1 for 6 yards, Jeffery Finicle 2 for 17 yards, Matthew Nose 1 for 9 yards.

3 facing various charges By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Three people are facing various charges stemming from two separate incidents on Sunday afternoon and evening, according to Sgt. Matt Benson, the
Wabash Police Department’s Public Information Officer. According to a news release Monday afternoon from Benson, the first incident began about 2:36 p.m. when police received a tip that a wanted subject was seen in a blue Dodge truck.
Police located the truck on Huntington Street and officers attempted to stop the vehicle, Benson wrote in the release, but it failed to stop and led officers on a chase to the 400 block of east Main Street. The driver allegedly fled on (continued on page 30)

foot, prompting a search by Wabash police, as well as personnel from the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department and the Wabash County Sheriff ’s K9 unit. The search led police to 257 E. Main St., and police, after obtaining a search warrant, searched apartment No.1 at the address. Jaylee Pattee, 25, Wabash was preliminarily charged with resisting law enforcement with a motor vehicle, resisting law enforcement, criminal confinement, driving while suspended and on a warrant from North Carolina for a parole violation. Also arrested was Bobby L. Luttrell, 40, Wabash, who was charged with a warrant for revocation to revoke probation, Benson said. Both were taken to the Wabash County Jail, and the Wabash Drug Task Force was called to the scene to allegedly collect other drug items. Benson said the case is ongoing and others may be charged. The second incident started about 6 p.m. when police received a report of an unruly person at the Village Pantry on Manchester Avenue, Benson said. According to Benson’s news release, police, after speaking with Village Pantry employees, located the subject, Joshua M. Allen, 29, Wabash, on Washington Street. Police attempted to serve Allen with a trespass warning from Village Pantry when they allege he became combative and started fighting with an officer. The officer sprayed Allen with a chemical spray in an attempt to gain control of him. He was taken into custody and preliminarily charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Personnel from the Wabash Fire Department decontaminated Allen before he was taken to the Wabash County Jail.
31 County Council ‘takes a step forward’ with Health Department grant issue THE PAPER
www.thepaperofwabash.com
September 2, 2015
By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Council unanimously voted to transfer $26,205.36 from the County Health Fund (CHF) back into the Local Health Maintenance Fund (LHMF) at their meeting on Monday, Aug. 24, as a step toward resolving the pending the Wabash County Health Department grant “issue,” according to Mike Ridenour, council chairman. The issue Ridenour referred to was the local health department’s frozen grant fund, LHMF. In February, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) froze the grant fund following a decision made by the council on Feb. 23. At the time, the council moved to transfer $104,821.43, of what it believed were nongrant monies, from the LHMF to the CHF to assist the health department pay for pay roll and other operating fees, according to Ridenour. “Last year, we discovered that there was some non-grant monies deposited in the Local Health Maintenance,” he said. “It was a fund that was basically designed to hold only grant monies awarded to health department by the State of Indiana. “When we figured this out, we got with the local health board as well as the Indiana State Department of Health on wanting them to help us get these non-grant monies back into the local health fund.” However, the local Board of Health refused the transfer of any money from the LHMF and the council decided, after a 6-1 vote, to proceed with the $104,821.43 transfer, Ridenour continued. Due to this transfer without the local board’s approval, the ISDH considered this move supplantation, or displacing grant funds incorrectly, according to a letter from ISDH Grant Manager Kathryn Nicely to the local
board. Therefore, the ISDH elected to freeze the LHMF and deny the local Board of Health’s grant application for 2016. “Shortly there after, the local health department offered to settle this with us and offered a number I know is $50,000 for us to keep,” Ridenour said. “But we asked for some accounting, basically, to substantiate that. We asked them to quantify that offer at that time.” The board proposed the $50,000 transfer in April, however did not provide any documents to quantify that offer. Board of Health president Dr. Jeffrey Pyle said that while the board had originally agreed on a proposal several months ago of $50,000, it was “shot down” by the ISDH. Attorney Larry Thrush, who repre-
sents the local Board of Health, reiterated that the council’s actions in February “violated the rules given to the council and … all grant requests will be denied until that money is returned, that $104, 821.43, is placed back into the account. “The amount that we spoke to (Nicely) and her boss about a few weeks ago, they gave us this formula that we have. The figure that they think is appropriate (for the council to keep) is $1,548.86 but they would probably allow $39,961.49.” The ISDH proposed formula is vaccine income minus vaccine cost, medical supplies and onefourth of the nurses’ salary and benefits, Pyle explained. “We used the numbers that Marcie’s (Shepherd, chief deputy auditor)
department offered us,” he continued. “…We were (using) 2006 to 2014. 2006 was as far back as we could get.” County Council attorney Steve Downs received the board’s new proposal Aug. 10. “We got an explanation, finally, a few weeks back,” Ridenour explained. “It was for us to keep $39,000 and basically the proposal that was given to us had other things contingent that they were wanting in addition to. “Basically, they were wanting us to transfer the whole $104,000 back to Local Health Maintenance and then for us to keep $39,000 along with some other legal things that they wanted to basically cohere to, sign off on or so forth.” The council
formed a committee to review the proposal before its meeting on Aug. 24. “Now we’re being told if we don’t act or move on this quickly, as in tonight, we wait until the September meeting, we’re told that there no chance of keeping the grant funds,” Ridenour said. “We’d like to have a little bit more time working with the health department on this number and coming up something that’d be agreeable, but after waiting this long I don’t know if there is.” Ridenour said that, in his own opinion, this issue has been going on for quiet a long time and the council has been patiently waiting for an explanation on how it could end this. As for the board’s newest proposal, “I heard there were some discrepancies in that some of the vaccine revenue on your proposal was understated and some of the vaccine expense was overstated in agreeing in what Marcie (Shepherd) had figured,” Ridenour said
to Pyle and Thrush. “And also I believe numbers were provided and the numbers that we used (in forming our original proposal) go back to
1998 when the grant was started as opposed to 2006. We went back to day one.” Pyle said that the board had used num(continued on page 40)

Gilman receives Historic Preservation Award By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Lisa Gilman, who has restored property along Market Street in downtown Wabash, received the Historic Preservation Award from the city’s Historic Preservation Commission. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham presented the award at the Aug. 24 Wabash City Council meeting. Gilman is a member of Redemption Development LLC. The company ‘s first efforts downtown, 4147 W. Market St., officially opened in September 2014. The development houses two businesses – Lost Treasures in Tyme and Bash Boutique – as well as four apartments.
She told The Paper of Wabash County that she was surprised by the honor. “I guess my first reaction was total surprise,” she said. “The second reaction was being thankful that they felt strongly enough about the work that was done at 41 and 47 Market Street.” Va n l a n d i n g h a m praised Gilman for her efforts. “It’s been an honor, privilege to be working with you the last few years,” Vanlandingham told Gilman. “We’re better off having you here.” The mayor also talked about other preservation efforts around the city. “Historic preservation sometimes gets a bad rap, and I don’t understand why,”
Vanlandingham said. “We have a historical preservation board and a good group of concerned citizens that like to keep Wabash the way it is and the way it is going. The historical preservation board kind of keeps those guidelines in focus and keeps them in line.” Doing it by Commission standards, the mayor admits, usually costs the building owner more money. “But I can honestly tell you if you look at the hotel, look at the buildings Lisa’s done, look at Bulldog Battery, all have been done according to the guidelines of a lot of dedicated people on the board,” he said. “Sometimes it isn’t easy. And all you have
to do is walk around town to see the difference.” Re d e m p t i o n Development is currently working on refurbishing the building at 26 W. Market St. “At this time I am in the design stage of the building at 26 West Market,” she said, discussing the new project. “We have already stabilized the masonry on all four sides. The roof is scheduled for replacement in early October. After the plans are complete and we receive state plan approval, we can start reconstruction in the beginning of 2016. “We are going to put a large apartment on the second floor and have commercial space on the first floor.
People gather at the grand opening for buildings refurbished by Lisa Gilman and Redemption Development LLC at 41-47 W. Market St. in September 2014. Gilman received the city’s Historic Preservation Award for her efforts on the project. The Paper of Wabash County file photo

Local farmers receive statewide award for conservation practices... continued from page 35 lakes, and streams. The Pyles operate using no-till farming practices, have 2.5 acres of grassed waterways, 0.8 acres
of buffer strips, erosion control structures, and use cover crops, primarily annual rye grass. “Conservation
practices are important to me on several different levels,” Pyle said. “First, I am the sixth generation of my family to live on
and operate the home farm. It was homesteaded in 1837, and Cindy and I feel a sense of responsibility to not just main-
tain, but to improve upon what has been done by past generations in order to benefit those that come after us.

“ E c o n o m i c a l l y, there have been benefits in that a smaller line of equipment is necessary to operate on a no-till program, thus reducing machinery cost. We have also seen a reduction in fertility cost, which I believe is due to a more stable soil structure and the fact that less of the fertility is leaving the farms in the form of erosion. By eliminating tillage practices there has also been a reduction in the time requirement to plant, manage, and harvest the crop.”
At the ceremony to congratulate the farmers were Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann, Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Ted McKinney, President of Indiana Farm Bureau Don Villwock, State Conservationist Jane Hardisty, and IASWCD President Mike Starkey, among other leaders from the Indiana Conservation Partnership. The River-Friendly Farmer Award has been presented by the IASWCD and sponsored by the ninetytwo local Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc. since 2000. This year’s group of award winners brings the total number of RiverFriendly Farmers in Indiana since the award’s beginning to 809.

County Council ‘takes a step forward’ with Health Department grant issue ... continued from page 31 bers as far back as the auditor’s office had provided, which was since 2006. Ridenour said that the local health department, itself, should not only have the numbers with its own accounting system, “but it is my own understanding that those numbers were provided from 1998.” “Be that as it may,” Thrush said, “the grant administrator (Nicely) has approved this proposal and it is contingent upon her boss’s approval, the $39,000. Using their formula that is the number we came up with and that’s what they’ve approved at this point in time. “They have the power to either
continue with this string of income, these grants or deny them. Now they’re saying they’re going to deny them, making Wabash County the only county in the state of Indiana to ever have that happen.” If that happens, Thrush claimed that the taxpayers will have to make up that difference. However, Ridenour said he didn’t necessarily agree with that. “I think of your comments and some of your emails that I’ve seen almost make it sound like this is going to cost the taxpayers more money,” he explained. “… Looking at the grant and dollars that are generated in excess of the
cost of the vaccine are more than enough to offset the cost of the grant that I see. “You know if you look at that Local H e a l t h Maintenance Fund, prior to us taking that ($104,821.43), it had increased $10,000 in … five or six years and that was appropriating funds annually through it. At the end of the day, those vaccine revenues are hurting the county taxpayers by not going into the County Health Fund because it’s costing property taxes and a levy to be increased by the revenue stream not being there, like it is in other funds.” Therefore, the council resolved to transfer $26,205.36,
or 25 percent of the costs of the county nurses’ salaries to administer vaccines, from the CHF to the LHMF, Ridenour said. “To induce the State Department of Health to unfreeze the Local H e a l t h Maintenance Fund and approve the Local Board of Health’s future grant applications, an amount of money should be transferred from the Local Health Fund back to the County Health Maintenance Fund as a gesture of good faith,” Ridenour said. The council voted 6-0 to pass its resolution to transfer $26,205.36. C l a u d e Markstahler was not present at the time of the vote.
