Measure keeps Hawkins’ farm in operation

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

By Amanda Bridgman abridgman@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — Thanks to legislation signed into law Thursday, local poultry farmer Jeff Hawkins can keep chicken on the menu. The new policy comes after a long battle between state health officials and Hawkins’ family farm in rural Wabash County. The J.L. Hawkins Family Farm is a 99-acre farm that raises and butchers about 200 birds per week during its busy season. Hawkins sells his birds to local restaurants that specialize in locally-sourced foods. The farm’s customers include KenapocoMocha Coffee Shop in North Manchester; Joseph Decuis in Roanoke; and Cerulean in Winona Lake. In August 2015, Hawkins was served with a cease-and-desist order to stop selling his chickens on the grounds his farm was violating a processing and direct sales law. But first, one must go back to the beginning. Hawkins, a fifth-generation farmer, spent 23 years as a Lutheran pastor in the community before moving back to his father’s family farm in 1987.

Wabash has strong ties to Indy 500 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Donald Davidson, Indianapolis Motor Speedway historian, whetted the appetites of Indianapolis 500 fans from around Wabash County on Tuesday, March 22. Davidson spent 90 minutes talking about the Indy 500, it’s ties to Wabash, and answered a wide variety of 500-related questions from the 30 people. Davidson’s visit was part of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s efforts to promote the 100th running of the race on May 29. He was joined by Michael Harmless, the former Greencastle mayor who dubs him self as “Donald Davidson’s personal chauffer.” In actuality, Harmless is part of the committee helping to promote the 100th running of the race. Davidson spoke briefly on the history of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500. He noted that those men and women racing on the track today are racing on the same track that Ray Harroun did when he won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911. The only difference, he pointed out, is that today the track is several feet higher than it was 105 years ago, largely because various repaving projects have cause the track level to raise a few feet. Davidson’s talk primarily focused on two people – Wabash residents Jimmy Daywalt and Dick Miller. (continued on page 5)

HUNTINGTON – A 6-year-old North Manchester boy was fatally injured Saturday afternoon in a three-vehicle accident in Huntington County. The boy, Kayden Brubaker, was a passenger in a van driven by Brandon Mettler, 31, North Manchester, according to a news release from the Huntington County Sheriff ’s Department. Five other people were injured in the accident, which occurred about 3:52 p.m. in Huntington County’s Jackson Township. According to the release: Dodge Ram pickup trucks driven by Jonathon E. Studebaker, 44, Larwill, and by Steven G. Fosnaugh, 67, Columbia City, were westbound on State Road 114, east of Huntington County Road 200 East. Studebaker’s truck was pulling a farm cultivator, while Fosnaugh’s truck was pulling a trailer with farm equipment. Mettler’s 2015 Dodge Caravan was eastbound on State Road 114 when it made contact with the left side of Fosnaugh’s pickup and trailer. The van then left the north side of the road went down an embankment and came to rest after striking a tree. First responders found Kayden Brubaker unconscious and unresponsive. Resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful and he was declared dead at the scene from

blunt force trauma to the head, according to the release. Four other people in Mettler’s van were transported to Lutheran Hospital with various injuries. Mettler sustained head and chest injuries and was in serious condition last Monday morning, March 28, according to hospital officials Meanwhile, Kaytlin E. Brubaker, 25, North Manchester, a front-seat passenger in the van, was treated at Lutheran Hospital and released.

Bicentennial Torch Relay coming to county Sept. 28 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay is expected to be in Wabash County on Sept. 28. It is expected to arrive about 4 p.m. and the relay here will stop near 7 p.m. The route through all 92 counties was announced last week by the state’s Bicentennial Commission. The Wabash visit is the last stop for the torch on Sept. 28. It also will be in Blackford and Grant counties that day. “It’s going to come in to

LaFontaine, most likely at the gas station there on the highway,” County Bicentennial Committee chair Mitch Figert told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s going to come up Wabash Street, across the bridge, and then the convoy that’s traveling with it will stop at the Visitor’s Center. “From there, it will go through Wabash on foot, ending at O.J. Neighbours.” From there, the torch will be placed on the 85 Trolley and be taken to North Manchester, where it does a foot walk (continued on page 6)

Local Department of Child Services director position now posted on state job site By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The director position of the Wabash County Department of Child Services has been posted on Indiana Career Connect, the state’s official job site. On Jan. 28, previous-director Margery Justice was terminat-

ed from her position for violating DCS Code of Conduct and the State of Indiana/DCS policies, according to Ashley Hungate, Director of Communications for the Indiana State P e r s o n n e l Department. In a Feb. 4 article of The Paper of Wabash County, Hungate declined to provide

specifics into the termination, noting, “I can’t provide further detail because Ms. Justice has 30 days to appeal her termination.” Justice appealed and is currently in “step two of a potential three step process,” Hungate told The Paper in an email. According to

Wabash County, but, during his talk, made a roundabout tie to the area. Roebling, for all intents and purposes, was thrust into her role in the construction of the bridge. Her father-in-law, John Roebling, was the original designer on the project. However, he was crushed in an industrial accident at the building site, and that made Roebling’s newlywed husband, Washington Roebling, take over for his late father. However, during construction, Washington Roebling became a victim of caisson disease – more commonly known as the “bends” – which can affect those who dive underwater. With her husband bed-ridden, Emily Roebling became the field engineer and oversaw the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge. “She had an interest in the bridge to begin with,” Jones noted. “After all, that was a consuming passion for her husband; how could she not known what was going on?” However, he noted, sources have different views on what happened next. Some sources say that she quickly gained a working knowledge of physics and bridge building, Jones said. “In the beginning, after Washington was

EMILY ROEBLING injured, she simply took his instructions to the bridge each day and conferred with the assistant engineers,” Jones continued. “Of course, you can imagine how skeptical they were. Here was this woman coming to tell them how to make this bridge. “That didn’t work in those days, and she encountered resistance because some of the assistant engineers thought they should be appointed to take Washington Roebling’s place.” Emily Roebling continued writing her husband’s instructions and, Jones noted, is eventually incorporating some of her own ideas into the project. “Eventually, most, but not all, of the assistant engineers begin to accept her,” he said. “They realize she knows what she is talking about.” One of her greatest challenges came eight years into the project, Jones said.

4th graders decorate 10,000 cards, wish Indiana a happy birthday State library to archive cards as official Indiana history By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Indiana State Library invites Wabash County fourth graders to join in on Indiana’s bicentennial celebration by decorating “Happy Birthday, Indiana!” cards. To celebrate the Indiana’s 200th year as a state, ISL’s Rare Books and Manuscripts Division is asking students across the state to be a part of Indiana history by contributing to the “Happy Birthday, Indiana” manuscript collection project, according to Bethany Fiechter, Division supervisor. “It’s definitely leading up to the bicentennial when Indiana will be celebrating Statehood Day on Dec. 11 of this year,” Fiechter told The Paper of Wabash County. “We’ve been planning this project for a couples of years now. We’re finally unveiling it to the fourth grade students across the state.” When preparing for the bicentennial, the State Library wanted to include fourth grade students in the festivities, according to Fiechter. “Indiana History, it’s definitely a part of their curriculum,” she said when asked why the project targets the fourth grade age group. “So we wanted to make sure that we were going to hit those levels in the curriculum that the teachers would be able to add this without any problems.” Children can decorate the cards with anything they can imagine, Fiechter

said. “Initially, we had said state bird, state tree, anything representing Indiana, anything that makes them think of home,” she continued, “and we’ve gotten a lot of that, but we’ve also been surprised too. “Some like to draw it as if it were a map, so they included roads and interstates and the hills of southern Indiana and the fields in the northern half. So it’s been really amazing what we have received and their creativity definitely shines through their work.” Students will also answer three questions on the card in addition to decorating it. The questions include: —“What do you like about Indiana?” — “What does being a Hoosier mean to you?” —“What is your favorite place to visit in Indiana?” At the end of the project, the collection will include a total of 10,000 cards and represent all 92 Indiana counties. The cards are printed on acid-free paper “that will withstand the tests of time with good care,” Fiechter explained. “I think the big thing for us is it’s our job to preserve this history,” she said, “and it’s interesting because we’re trying to preserve something that’s happening in the moment. “So people will be able to come in, these students that are making these birthday cards whenever they’re 50 (-years-old) they can come in and see what they and their classmates did.” Once collected, all of the cards will be stored in the State Library among the state’s other historic documents and histo-

Wabash County is not among

them. “We’ve tried our best to reach out to all four corners of the state and everywhere in between,” Fiechter said, “but there’s a staff of four of us and we split the map up and tried to reach as many people, but any outreach that we can get to get the word out (is helpful), especially to more rural areas. “We’d really like to have everyone represented and not just the bigger cities.” There are 44 counties that Fiechter’s team is having diffi-

culty contacting, she said, including the surrounding counties of Grant, Huntington and Kosciusko. Participating in the project is not limited solely limited to local schools, according to the supervisor. “What we do is we

send them out to the schools that would like to participate,” Fiechter said, “but

we’re not just limiting it schools because everyone has their (continued on page 4)

Northeast Region card coordinator. At the moment, the project has a soft deadline of June 1, but it is subject to change, according to Fiechter. “It might be that after June 1 arises and more people want to be involved, we can print out more cards and have them sent

out as well,” she said. “We have a definite deadline of Dec. 11 because, obviously, that’s the end of the bicentennial celebration for us. … So those two dates for sure, but I’d say June 1 is the realistic (deadline) for now. “But, like I said, I don’t want to limit it, because if people do

want participate because they hear about it after that date, we want them to be able to be involved.” For more information or to request cards, contact Eliason at 317-234-9569 or e m a i l leliason@library.in.go v.

de Lesseps, Jones said. Emily Roebling faced another challenge, this one led by Boss Tweed who, as a member of the bridge commission, convinced other commission members that she couldn’t handle the job. “So they sent representatives from the board to see her, and she astonished them with her vast knowledge about the bridge and her vast knowledge about construction,” Jones said. “So they gave her a tremendous vote of confidence.” The bridge was completed in 1883,

about 100 percent over budget at a cost of some $15 million. As for Emily Roebling, she is honored on a plaque on the bridge, as is her husband and fatherin-law. As for the Wabash County connection to the story, Washington Roebling attended the R e n s s e l e a r Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., Jones noted. In Troy, there is a foundry at which the bell, that was once located in the Wabash County Courthouse was cast, as was a bell which one time hung in the Wabash Presbyterian Church.

Measure keeps Hawkins’ farm in operation... continued from the front page “It was like an Old MacDonald farm,” Hawkins said. “You know, a moo moo here and an oink oink there.” That’s when he got into raising chickens. “It was real therapy for me,” Hawkins said. “The daily min-

istry can be stressful, and to just go out in the pasture … it really helped me.” That’s when he decided to become a CSA, or a community supported agriculture farm. That means customers buy a season’s worth of product

from the farm. “You don’t just buy one tomato from Hawkins farm,” he said, “you buy a season of vegetables.” It was when Hawkins’ son Zach moved back home to the farm that they needed to expand to

be able to make a living. So, the Hawkins men, who used to take their birds to get processed, began expanding to raise, process and sell on their own. “And there was a federal law in place for 47 years that

allowed us to do that,” Jeff Hawkins said. “With no recorded case of food-borne illness from an exempt farm like ours.” But in August, the rural farm caught the attention and concern of Indiana Senator Jean Leising, who

... continued from the front page ing a sprint car race and was unable to pilot the auto in Indianapolis. After going through several drivers, the Sumar Special ended up with Daywalt behind the wheel. “He qualified and ran a very good, steady race on a hot day, a murderously hot day,” Davidson said. “Famously, Bill Vukovich won the race without a relief driver in a day when a lot of drivers were taking relief. Art Cross, in a dirt car and who was now living in LaPorte, Indiana, was second. Sam Hanks was second, but he needed a relief driver. Daywalt finished the race sixth, without a relief driver. “That was a big deal,” Davidson said. “It was a big deal for Wabash. Wabash, Indiana, where’s that? Jimmy Daywalt put it on the map. Well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration.” Daywalt won the Rookie of the Year honors in 1953.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Daywalt was injured in a racing accident the next day “so he couldn’t go to the Victory Banquet to receive the Rookie of the Year award.” Daywalt qualified off and on through 1962, including 1954 when he started in the middle of the front row. “Jack McGrath was the fastest qualifier and he was the first man to qualify at over 140 (mph),” Davidson said. “So on the front row was Jack McGrath, South Pasadena, California. Outside front row was Jimmy Bryan, Phoenix, Arizona. “And in the middle of the front row, Jimmy Daywalt, Wabash, Indiana. And, he led eight laps and then got tangled up with somebody and was out of the race.” About the same time, Miller, a Wabash businessman who owned Dick’s Men’s Wear, thought the city should honor Daywalt with a Jimmy Daywalt Day.

Wabash with him, he said he didn’t have time and was turning down the award. Miller expressed his frustration to Speedway owner Tony Hulman, wondering what they should do. “Guess what,” Davidson said. “They had the victory banquet. Clark leaves and goes to Detroit for meetings with Ford. And the Ford plane comes down and lands at the Wabash airport and they bring him out there, and he goes through the store, by golly.” Davidson, relaying the story he heard from Miller, said Clark picked out a few ties and a few shirts and thought it was enough, but learned he had only picked out about $150 worth of clothes. “So he ended up buying some shirts for his crew chief, and everything,” he said. “How different it was in those days, that it was so important to the town of Wabash, and Jim Clark wasn’t going to come. (Miller) goes over and says a few words to Tony Hulman, and Jim Clark does come.”

tag #keepchickenonthemenu, which left state senators bombarded and surprised. “They recognized they better deal with it,” Jeff Hawkins said. Eventually legislators and Hawkins found a middle ground where state health officials can come test at the farm two times a year, a written food safety plan is in place and all farm staff will have adequate safety and food handling training. “That satisfies all,” Jeff Hawkins said. “So this summer we’ll work very closely with the Board of Health and we’ve thankfully overcome this challenge and can keep doing what we’re doing.”

“Dick Miller had this idea that part of the Jimmy Daywalt Day … was Dick had Jimmy come down to his clothing store and pick out clothes,” Davidson said. “And so out of that, not for ’54, but for ’55, there was a new award.” Miller would give $1,000 of free clothes to the winner of the 500. “Bob Sweikert was the winner in 1955, so a couple of weeks later he comes over the Wabash with his wife, and they go through and pick out some really snazzy clothing, and also some luggage, and it gets a lot of publicity,” Davidson said. “In 1956, Pat Flaherty and his wife come. He didn’t really have much of a wardrobe, but after the visit to Dick Miller’s, he did. “Then Sam Hanks, and Jimmy Bryan and Rodger Ward. This is great. You’re kidding me, this is great.” A few years go by, Davidson continued, “and the foreigners came over.” That almost put a stop to the clothing prize. In 1965, Jimmy Clark won the race. When Miller tried to arrange a visit to

Daywalt “was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet,” Davidson said. “He had quite the tenure at the Indianapolis Speedway.” Daywalt’s was at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was 1949 to 1963. “He didn’t make the race every year,” Davidson said. He passed his rookie test in the Bill & Bud’s Motorsports Special, he continued, noting that he wasn’t fast enough to make the race. He returned the next three years. “In 1953 there was a Hoosier entry for the first time, and it was called the Sumar Special,” Davidson said. “They ran from 1953 to 1960, and I don’t know if this was by design, but almost every driver they had was a Hoosier. “Their first driver was to be Gene Force from Richmond.

Hawkins said his farm – in season – processes 200 birds a day; a giant poultry plan slaughters up to 200,000 in one day. “We just couldn’t afford that type of regulation,” Jeff Hawkins said. “To have an inspector be out here, to have to add all sorts of things to accommodate these giant poultry farm’s rules.” So both Hawkins men, and the owner of Joseph Decuis restaurant Pete Eshelman, went down to Indianapolis to testify in front of state senators.

Bicentennial Torch Relay coming to county Sept. 28... continued from the front page through North Manchester. “Then it returns back in Wabash and ends at Paradise Spring where we’ll have a celebration,” Figert said. “We’ll honor the torchbearers, the state will have some remarks, and we’ll have some food trucks and kids’ events.” There will be 20 local torchbearers

participating in the event. “They have been selected and sent to the state,” Figert explained. “The state will announce who they are in the next month or so. I’m sworn to secrecy until then, but it is a nice representation of the whole county.” Those who were selected were either self-nominated or

nominated by other individuals. “We have educators, organizational leaders, we have business leaders. Most of those were nominated by family members or co-workers. We wanted to make sure we had good representation from Wabash, Manchester and the small communities. We wanted to make

sure it represented Wabash County as a whole.” About 40 names were submitted, from which the 20 names were selected. Figert noted that the state only allowed 20 names to be chosen. The Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay will start in C o r y d o n on September 9 and travel over 3,200

miles as nearly 2,000 torchbearers will carry the torch through each of Indiana’s 92 counties. The route showcases locations of natural beauty, local interest and historic significance to the state. “The Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay is not only the premier event of our state’s Bicentennial

Celebration, but it is also an opportunity for Hoosiers from counties large and small to showcase all that makes Indiana unique,” said Holcomb. “The torch route was designed to highlight the state’s cultural fabric, our history and values, and the spirit of Hoosier ingenuity, igniting generations to come.”

The Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay route touches: — 260 cities and towns. — 17 state and national parks. — Nine lakes and rivers, including the Ohio and Wabash Rivers. — 27 national, state and local sites of historic significance. — 22 colleges and universities.

St. Bernard’s Catholic School triumphed in the elementary competition of the 2016 Battle of the Books. The Emojis, a team of homeschooled students, won in the middle school competition. Officials from the Wabash Carnegie Public Library congratulate the winning teams. The elementary competition for fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students took place at Heartland Career Center on Monday, March 21 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The middle school competition, consisting of students from sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, took place at the library on March 22 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Sharp Creek, Wabash City Schools, Emmanuel Christian, Southwood, and St. Bernard’s Catholic School students matched wits in the elementary competition. Southwood, Wabash City Schools, Northfield, and the Emojis participated in the middle school battle. The Youth Services staff of the Wabash Carnegie Public Library selected the titles and purchased the books for the competition. Elementary teams read six books: “The One and Only Ivan” by Katherine Applegate, “Caddie Woodlawn” by Carol Ryrie Brink, “Jennifer Murdley’s Toad” by Bruce Coville, “Salt” by Helen Frost, “Fortunately the Milk” by Neil Gaiman, and “Gorillas” by Seymour Simon.

A representative from the library reads aloud questions and

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

Present were board members Tim and Jeremy Milliner, Pat Knoblock, Gary DeGrandchamp, Larry Wente and building superintendent Ed Bailey. Absent were Ken Miller, Dave Richards and Boots Jack. Since Jack was absent no minutes were read,

DeGrandchamp presented the treasurer’s report. The report was approved. In other business, the board reviewed its first estimate on the new roofs for the Community Building and Fire Station. The metal or shingle option has only a small cost difference, using metal; no removal of shingles is required. Since this is only the first estimate, it appears the cost will be in the $20,000 range. How does the community pay for the many expenses it has? The board went back to the survey of two years ago, noting that only four wanted to close up shop. The remaining voters were divided between a Home Owners Association (HOA) or continue as it has for y e a r s . DeGrandchamp stated that the community averages spending about $6,000 a year more than we take in. Its income is $1,000 from the township trustee and $1,000 from United Fund. Recycling, building rent and donations make up the other income. The board again wishes to thank those people that mow grass, plow snow,

VIEWPOINT

Increase transparency and secure freedom By Suzanne Crouch March 13-19 was Sunshine Week, a national initiative to promote a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information. During Sunshine Week, but especially in the weeks that follow, it is important for us to embrace the idea of increasing

government transparency as a means of securing freedom. Founding Father Patrick Henry said, “The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them…to cover with the veil of secrecy the common routine of business, is an abomination in the

eyes of every intelligent man, and every friend to his country.” If we truly believe that our government is one of, by, and for the people, then we must also believe in the notion that as public servants we are merely extensions of those whom we serve. So when the people send their money to us— to be spent to

benefit the greater good— that money does not magically become ours. It remains theirs. We simply assume the most important fiduciary duty ever known. But we must always remember, as Gov. Mitch Daniels used to say, when we take a dollar away from a private citizen through taxation, we make them a

dollar less free. No longer do the people get to decide what to do with their dollars. That’s why it’s essential for us to conduct the people’s business in the open. With all the technology and connectedness the 21st Century has to offer, we ought to embrace it. We must communicate, interact, and share with the people in real time in order to build trust and prove to them we’re spending their money wisely and effectively. Additionally, it is important for us to understand that when folks advocate for greater transparency, their motives are not to politicize or sensationalize the numbers and data. On the contrary, these folks are driven to solve problems with us. They advocate for transparency because it is a fundamental principle of a free society. They believe, as I do, that greater transparency allows them a greater opportunity to hold their government more accountable so that

we all may benefit from a freer and more prosperous state. The good news is, we’re already well on our way to having a more open government. For example, this session, the Indiana General Assembly passed Senate Enrolled Act 126 which urges the Legislative Council to study the expansion of open data in Indiana. And last week, the Indy Chamber announced winners of its #INCapitolHack Hackathon. My office asked the hackers to develop a solution which enables us to better track state credit card spending. In just 24 hours, Team Shake & Bake developed interactive dashboards and analytics which allow us to trace spending down to the location, penny and spender. In addition to these great developments for a more open Indiana, my office recently kicked off a 21st C e n t u r y G o v e r n m e n t

Transparency tour. On this tour, we are travelling to different areas of the state to promote the I n d i a n a Transparency Portal and find ways that we can make the state’s financial data more useful and user friendly. And in the coming months, I will be taking those ideas from everyday Hoosiers and collaborating with a small working group of public and private sector individuals who can apply those solutions and make our state more open than it has ever been. In conclusion, it is my hope that as public servants we will embrace our roles and act in good faith on behalf of the people by opening the doors and conducting their business in the light. If we commit to this principle, I believe we will be able to solve more problems and secure more freedoms for Hoosiers everywhere. Suzanne Crouch is the Indiana State Auditor

Pulley to lead painting workshop By The Paper staff The Wabash Art Guild will host Terry Pulley’s AcrylicsPainting Workshop on Thursday, May 12, for all levels of artists. The workshop, open to members and nonmembers, will be held at the Wabash Christian Church, corner of Hill and

Miami streets in Wabash. Set-up starts at 8:30 a.m., class will begin at 9 a.m. with a break to eat (bring your own sack-lunch); and will continue until about 3 p.m. Pulley will instruct the class using acrylic paints, as they are his medium of choice, favoring their bold and vibrant colors,. He considers that

each artist has their own tastes and that participants may have a different preference in mediums that you may like to work in. He will work with you in one’s media preference. Just remember, if using another medium, the execution of the work and final product will be different than if using acrylics.

As Pulley paints, he fills his canvas with color in rhythmic patterns of light and shade. Following his inner voice, he attempts to capture the soul of the subject of each painting. His work has earned awards at many fineart shows, and is on display in several well-known galleries. For the workshop

2 arrested following drug investigation, police chase By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Police Department arrested two Wabash County residents following a police pursuit on Monday, March 21. At approximately 4:30 a.m., police arrested Hali N. Sadler, 22, Lagro, after she attempted to flee by motor vehicle. Sadler had a warrant out for her arrest following an investigation at her Meadowbrook apartment on Feb. 12. According to the probable cause affidavit, in February the WPD received a call about a possible assault and disturbance at Sadler’s apartment. Upon arrival, Capt. Ryan Short spoke with a male visiting Sadler, according to the court documents. “I told them I needed to talk to Hali if she was the victim,” Short stated in the affidavit. “They told me I could look for her if I needed to talk to her,” Short said. “As I checked the apartment, in plain view in the bathroom was a set of scales, cash laying all around the scales and empty packets used for drug. “In the bedroom on the bed laying in clear view was a glass pipe used for smoking con-

trolled substances.” Short stated he spoke again with the three males and asked if any of them had a number to contact Sadler by, which none of them did. The males were asked to leave the apartment while a search warrant was being obtained. After obtaining the warrant, officers found several unknown substances, which later allegedly field-tested positive for heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana, court records show. An arrest warrant was then put out on Sadler. On the morning of March 21, Officer Josh Prater was checking the 600 block of Warren Avenue in reference to Sadler’s whereabouts, according to another probable cause affidavit. At approximately 3:57 a.m., he began to follow a truck that had just left Warren Avenue and attempted to identify the occupants, the documents continued. The vehicle pulled into the Village Pantry parking lot on Manchester Avenue, Prater stated in the affidavit, he recognized Sadler, who was with two other males. He asked Sadler to exit the vehicle, but according to court records, “she began to

cry and say she can’t do this right now.” She moved to the passenger side and Prater went there to get her out of the vehicle. However, she locked the door. Prater told her to unlock the door, but instead Sadler yelled at the male driver – later identified as Trevor J. Miller, 20, Wabash – to drive, according to the court documents. Prater pursued the vehicle onto East Street when he observed the vehicle stop in front a residence in the 800 block of North East Street, the documents continued. “(Sadler) exited out of the passenger side and began running behind this residence toward Manchester (Avenue),” Prater said. “As I pulled up to run after (Sadler), the truck again sped away turning west onto State (Street). Prater detained Sadler on Manchester Avenue. She continued to resist arrest and “had to be placed on the ground before handcuffs could be put on her,” according to the affidavit. Miller was eventually stopped on Evans Boulevard following a foot pursuit. Prater interviewed Miler after reading his Miranda rights, according to the court docu-

ments. Miller told officers that after dropping Sadler off on East Street, Miller continued to his residence on Centennial Street. He said he threw Sadler’s purse into nearby woods and saw police waiting for him at his home, which is when he ran. Miller was transported to Wabash County Jail for the charges of resisting law enforcement with a motor vehicle and resisting law enforcement. During a search of Sadler at the Wabash County Jail, a female jail officer allegedly found “a small zip lock bag further containing a clear crystal like substance and four pills,” documents noted. Sadler was arrested on the active warrant charges of felony possession of cocaine or schedule I or II narcotic drug of at least 5g but less than 10g, felony maintaining a common nuisance, two counts of misdemeanor possession of marijuana, hashish, hash oil or salvia. She was also arrested on the additional charges of resisting law enforcement, felony possession of methamphetamine and possession of a legend drug.

All physician, nurse, and other office staff support are provided by volunteers. Wabash Fame Festival provides children the opportunity to experience a wide range of artistic expressions (art, music, dance, theater), strengthen arts education for children and teachers, and increase awareness of the values of the arts. The activities will include art exhibits and musical performances by elementary and middle school-aged children, hands-on art projects in the Imaginarium make-it, take-it project area, live professional performances by visiting artists and demonstrations by local artists and musicians. FAME’s theme for this year’s April 16 event is “Artfully Celebrating Indiana”, honoring Indiana’s bicentennial. “The United Fund matching donation to FAME as part of the Chili for Charity award is a real boost to our fundraising as we work to secure the $18,000-plus budget for this year’s festival,” Director Judy Ward said. “The chili award money, plus United Fund’s agency funding, provides about one-third of our total needed funds this year. Support from United Fund enables us to provide this day of educational arts activities for the children in our community.” The North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society operates the North Manchester Center for History on Main Street and the Thomas Marshall birth house museum on Market Street. Since 2000, the number of items in our collection has grown from 2,200 to more than 28,000.

The Historical Society sponsors the Historic Preservation Group, which has rescued seven properties in North Manchester. The Access Youth Center is a Christ-centered, youth driven, community minded organization that strives to provide a safe, structured environment for all Wabash area youth encouraging them to make positive life choices, which will not only impact their lives but also the community in which they live.

In its second year, Challenger League looks to continue to offer area children with this opportunity. Wabash County Transit provides transportation for all ages and incomes five days a week, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Operated by Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc., the goal is to remove the transportation barriers to community services, health care, employment, shopping, recreation and more within Wabash County.

The top three uses of public transportation in Wabash County are medical, social/recreation and employment. Manchester Early Learning Center’s (MELC) objective is to provide affordable preschool and childcare in one location. The facility is licensed by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration and meets state and county requirements and regulations for health, safety, nutrition, and program. MELC provides care and education for children ages 8 weeks to 12 years in a safe and nurturing environment. MELC believes that healthy growth, learning, and development begin at birth; therefore, we

play a significant role in promoting the well being of children. The daily activities are planned with the whole child in mind, with the goal to enhance physical, mental, social, emotional, and moral development. Children spend a large part of the day in play, exploring many ways of learning and doing by having first-hand experiences that stimulate all areas of growth. Manchester Early learning Center is Level 3 in the Paths to Quality Program. Wabash County United Fund invests in programs that have a positive impact on the quality of life for residents of Wabash County, Executive Director Steve Johnson said. UF focuses on three main funding initiatives: Income/Financial S t a b i l i t y , Health/Healthy Living and Education. “Each of these nonprofit organizations plays a special role in making Wabash County a better place to live and raise families” said Tim Stiglich, 2016 president of the UF volun-

About 200 people gathered at the Heartland REMC community room on Friday night, March 25, to play games and, more importantly, raise funds for scholarships at Ivy Tech’s Wabash Campus. Area residents and school officials gathered to play Monopoly during the annual event. In addition, those present were able to bid on items during live and silent auctions. Roderick Schram and Bob Ferguson served as emcees for the event. Ferguson, an Ivy Tech graduate, said the school has played a major role in his family’s life. “Ivy Tech means a lot to me and my family,” he said. “I actually graduated from Ivy Tech just last year. So that means you’re never too old to go back to school and go to Ivy Tech. “All three of my daughters went to Ivy Tech, and also I’ve had four granddaughters go to Ivy Tech.” Campus Director Pam Guthrie thanked those present at the event, which had a goal of raising $30,000. “We’re pretty happy to have everyone here at our party,” she said. “The party is to celebrate our scholarship campaign, and we’re really pleased that people could come and have so much fun.” Adam Lively, an Ivy Tech graduate, was the keynote speaker at the event. He discussed what the school meant to him and how it helped prepare him to open his business, Livelihood Computers, in downtown Wabash. “I attended about four different campuses of Ivy Tech,” he told the crowd. “I moved around a lot. I attended one of the campuses in Indianapolis, and I came up to Wabash. “I didn’t really feel much interest in the activities at first, but toward the last two years I got more motivated and met some very nice, kind people.” He thanked various instructors and advisors who helped during his tenure at Ivy Tech.

Scholarship contest targets safe driving By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana high school, trade school and college students have a choice: Use their smartphones behind the wheel and make a tragic mistake, or engage their social

media followers to “Drive Now. TXT L8R.” and earn up to $5,000 in scholarships. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, Indiana Department of Labor, Indiana Department of

Transportation and Indiana State Police are again partnering to award up to $5,000 in scholarships to students who post the most creative videos and images on social media. Students may read updated contest rules

and register their Twitter accounts at w w w. t x t l 8 r. i n . g o v. Photo and video entries must be public, use the hashtag #TXTL8RIN, and be cross-posted to the registered Twitter account in April during Distracted

Driving Awareness Month. Keeping one’s hands on the wheel and eyes on the road is not just a safe driving practice – it’s the law. Social media posts that are composed while driving will be disqualified.

Individual winners will receive $5,000 and up to four team members will receive $2,500 each deposited into their CollegeChoice 529 savings plans. For 2016, entries will be judged in four categories:

Historical Society Honors Honor Flight By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — The North Manchester Historical Society is pleased to host Adam Brouwer, Events and Media Director for Honor Flight Northeast Indiana on Monday, April 11. Honor Flight provides free one-day trips for World War II, Korean and Vietnam veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the memorials built in their honor. Top priority is given to World War II survivors along with other veterans who are terminally ill. Honor Flight Northeast Indiana (HFNI) is a recognized independent hub of the Honor Flight network and was created to raise

funds and provide volunteers to take World War II veterans directly from Fort Wayne to Washington, D.C. Members of HFNI all have family members who served or are currently serving in the U.S. Military; they want to say “Thank You” to World War II heroes before it’s too late. The next HFNI flight will take off on

April 27. Brouwer has been a member of the HFNI board of directors for almost three years, and has been an active volunteer since its inception in 2009. He worked nearly 10 years at the HF Group bindery in North Mancheser and has recently taken a position at United Technologies in Huntington. The program will

be held in the Assembly Room at T i m b e r c r e s t Retirement Center, 2201 East St., at 6:40 p.m. There is no cost for the program, which is free to the public. All are welcome. While many attend only the program, the public is also invited to come to the Assembly Room at 6 p.m. for a meal prior to the presentation.

For

those

who

wish to attend the

dinner, reservations

must be made no

later than noon on

Friday, April 8. The

cost of the meal is $8.50.

Reservations

may be made by call-

ing Evelyn at 260-982-

6777, or the Center

for History at 260982-0672.
