Early voting numbers exceed ‘14

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Early voting began Oct 10 in Wabash County.

In its first 19 days, more voters have cast early voting ballots than in the entire time set aside for early voting in 2014, the last mid-term election, according to Wabash County Clerk Elaine Martin.

By Monday morning, Oct. 29, 2,226 people have cast early ballots for the Nov. 6 General Election, Martin told The Paper of Wabash County. That compares to 1,178 people who cast votes in 2014.

“I believe the school board races for MSD and Manchester, plus the school referendum for Manchester is the biggest concern on the local level,” Martin said.

The race for U.S. Senate between Democrat incumbent Joe Donnelly and

Republican challenger Mike Braun also may be bringing people to the polls, she added.

Early voting will continue at the clerk’s office in the Wabash County Judicial Center from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Friday, Nov. 2, and from 8 a.m. to noon Monday, Nov. 5.

Additionally, voters can cast early ballots from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, at three locations around Wabash

County – the clerk’s office, Peabody Retirement Community in North Manchester and at the LaFontaine/Liberty Township Fire Department in LaFontaine. Similar voting hours took place Saturday, Oct. 27.

Voting on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 6, will take place from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 10 Vote Centers around Wabash County.

Record crop means storage woes

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

Record harvests would seem like a good thing for Wabash County Farmers.

But, with so many crops to harvest, farmers are struggling to find places to store their corn.

Farmers are doing as best as they can to find places to store, even if that means piling it up on the ground and putting a cover

over it.

“Like at Treaty Elevator, they have bunkers that they put the corn in and put a cover over it,” Purdue Extension Educator Kurt Campbell said. “They don’t want to market it now if they don’t already have it sold, because the price is going to be considerably less than February or March if they store it.”

That fact has slowed the harvest of corn down something, farmers waiting finding places to store.

“If they harvest it too wet they have to dry it down, and that’s just more dollars when they’re not making hardly any money at all, if any,” Campbell said. “That additional cost really cuts into profits or what they already had.

Yield-wise corn is faring better than soybeans, but Campbell added that we’ve had an excellent year.

“We’ve really been blessed,” Campbell said. “There are guys out in the cornfields, (continued on page 4)

A former clerk in the City of Wabash’s Wastewater Treatment Plant received a four-year sentence in the Indiana Department of Corrections during a hearing Monday in Wabash Circuit Court.

However, two of those four years were suspended by Judge Robert McCallen III, and the former clerk, Angelina Monroe, will serve those two years on probation. She also received credit for four days time served in the Wabash County Jail.

Monroe pled guilty on Oct. 1 to theft in connection with taking more than $152,000 from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. In exchange, charges of official misconduct, corrupt business influence and a second theft charge would be dropped.

She also must make restitution to the City of Wabash for $152,127.54 and to the State Board of Accounts for $26,477.38.

Monroe’s $50,000 bond will be put toward the restitution, and she testified that she has another $2,000 to be (continued on page 5)

That was unheard-of 10 years ago. We’ve got more and that makes it harder to find places to store it. That slows the process.

Wabash County farmers made a lot of progress harvest-wise this week. There’s a number of farmers that are through.

But, there’s still a number that have quite a bit to go. The rains over the weekend slowed things down, undoubtedly.

“Beans, I’m hearing a lot of guys saying its flat because of winds and various other things the growing year (brought),” Campbell said. “What they have to do is turn around and harvest it in one direction to get all their beans. Consequently,

that’s slowing things down.

“We’re not in bad shape,” he added.

“We’re pretty normal for this time of year.

The only thing is we have a lot of corn and beans out there, especially the corn that really needs to get harvested because of the way it’s standing. Guys are really in a hurry to get out and get those harvested.”

There was some concern from Purdue this season that heavy winds could play havoc.

Other than the aforementioned struggles locally, we’ve had it far better than places like Clinton County and Benton County.

The wind was so forceful in those parts of the state that the ears of corn have actually been blown off the stalk in a lot of places.

“There some concern from our 4-H guys,” Campbell said. “Not many do it around here, but in a lot of areas, after the field is harvested they turn cattle on to scavenge the ears that are left over. With the number that we have, there’s a concern that if the corn gets into the moldy areas the cattle can actually get sick from eating too much of it.

“I don’t think we had any of that. We had some corn that was down, but I don’t think we actually had any ears that were blown off the stalks. That was just a concern from statewide.”

Former clerk gets 4-year sentence put toward the restitution.

A special investigation by the Indiana State Board of Accounts (SBOA) in 2017 into the City of Wabash’s Wastewater Billing Department has found $152,127.54 unaccounted for, according to a report issued by the SBOA. “The department cannot account for collections credited to customer accounts totaling $152,127.54,” according to the 10page report. “These collections were entered in the department’s computer system in 112 batches assigned to 94 different collection dates from September 5, 2013, to May 9, 2017.

None of the batches are included in the Department’s daily Cash Entry Batch Lists, and none of the collections in those batches were ever remitted to the office of the Clerk Treasurer, recorded in the City’s fund ledger, or deposited in the bank.”

According to the report, the missing “batches” were allegedly recorded on software operated by Monroe.

Monroe’s attorney, Jeffrey Elftman of Kokomo, argued before the court that Monroe should receive four years’ probation rather than any time in the Department of Corrections.

She is employed at a Dollar General store, he noted, and

incarcerating her would cause her to lose the job and any income to pay toward the restitution.

During testimony, Monroe said she began taking money from the city within a few months of beginning employment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant in 2012.

She said her life began a downward spiral that year, having gone through a divorce and that she began battling depression because of it. She believes that played a role in her actions.

She also said greed also played a role into why she took the money.

“I’m not the same person I was a few years ago,” she said, asking for leniency. “I look at things differently.

“When all this came about I had a good job and I lost it because of what I did,” she continued, noting that Dollar General “let me prove who I am versus who I was.”

Under questioning by Prosecutor William Hartley Jr., Monroe said she hired into the city at about $27,000 per year, and was being paid about $39,000 when she left.

“You realize you took about four times or five times amount of your salary,” he asked.

Hartley also asked if she thought her actions would catch

up with her?

“Eventually,” she responded.

Asked if she was aware of other elected officials in Wabash County who were caught taking money from municipal coffers, she said she was and that one, Sonia Poe, reached out to her to offer support.

Hartley noted that the amount taken,

$152,127.54, may not seem like a lot of money to large municipalities such as Indianapolis, but to small communities like Wabash, it can have a huge impact.

Asked who suffers from her actions, she said the citizens do.

Mayor Scott Long addressed the court, noting that government employees are

under intense scrutiny as it is, and actions such as Monroe’s increases that scrutiny tremendously.

“In this age of social media, there’s been a lot of attacking statements directed toward myself and the employees,” he said, noting that at least two have resigned because of that.

By The Paper staff Ghosts and goblins will be wandering the streets around Wabash County on Halloween night, Wednesday, Oct. 31.

The various communities have set hours for trick or treating. Those hours are: LaFontaine – Lagro – 6-8 p.m.

Wednesday North Manchester – 5-8 p.m. Wednesday

He said he hoped that justice was fairly handed out in this case, and that it is “significant as to deter other thoughts” of doing such things in the future.

Also as part of the plea agreement, Monroe must describe in full detail how she was able to accomplish what she did.

“We want to know exactly how you did it so we can prevent it from happening again,” he said.

Following the hearing, Long told The Paper of Wabash County that he was satisfied with the sentencing and that he was glad that this situation was finally resolved.

Roann – 5-8 p.m.

Wednesday Wabash – 5-8 p.m.

Capt. Matt Benson, Wabash Police Department’s Public Information Officer, offers various safety tips to parents and youngsters alike.

Those tips include: -Trick or treating should be done with adult supervision or in groups.

-If you are trick or treating after dark have reflective material on you costume.

-Only go to houses which you know.

-Parents please inspect all treats before your children eat them.

-Motorists, please be cautious and slow down when driving the streets on H a l l o w e e n .

Remember children

are going to be in and out of the streets frequently.

-Parents, please be cautious as you and your children are walking on Halloween. The City of Wabash has several improvements to many areas of the city.

There are uneven pavements, missing sidewalks, curbs, and drop offs where streets and sewers are being upgraded. Please use caution.

Benson reminds parents that if they find anything suspicious please contact local law enforcement.

In addition to trickor-treating, several other activities are

planned around the area.

MU is ‘envy of others,’ McFadden says NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r University President David McFadden provided a university update to stakeholders on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at the annual C o m m u n i t y Breakfast in the Jo Young Switzer

Center.

McFadden said that while some schools are going under, MU is in a good place, with stable enrollment and responsible budgeting.

“At the end of the day, Manchester generates $1 million in surpluses. I don’t know another institution that does that,” he said. “That takes an enormous amount of disci-

pline.”

“We have an A minus credit rating,” he continued. “Many colleges would kill just have a credit rating.”

That data falls onto McFadden’s list of why MU is the “envy of others.”

There are many challenges facing undergraduate enrollment. With the perceived value of higher education declining and an

Photo by Amanda Bridgman that, and he did. “We brought a barber over from Fort Wayne who spent the entire day cutting hair in the Intercultural Center, 20 young men got their hair cut.”

“We’re not ready for them, they’re coming to us as they are,” he said.

Continuing to provide engaging student experiences through internships and study away programs is a priority for McFadden. The university’s sustainability goals are to stay affordable and to be able to respond to setbacks, with balanced budgets.

The university’s plan to grow will be by offering strong, relevant programs.

McFadden said they’ll start with quick-win programs of athletic training, nursing, nutrition

and nutrigenomics, health care informatics, and physical therapy. The university is going to invest $5 million into those health science programs, and to help lead the way is Dr. Lea Johnson.

“We just hired her, and she starts Nov. 1,” McFadden said.

“She brings deep experience in the health sciences, multi-campus institutions.”

He introduced Dr. Johnson’s resume to the room on his PowerPoint presentation: She was interim president of Laboure College in 2017; President of Maria College from 2012-2016; the Dean of the School of B u s i n e s s Administration at the American International College from 20082012; and worked at

increasing number of students not graduating high school, fewer are choosing private institutions and are underprepared when they do go to college.

“We are not growing, but we are stable and consistent,” McFadden said. He said MU undergrads are increasingly coming from out of state, up from 13 percent in Fall 2014 to 23 percent this school year.

Significant diversification of enrollment of hispanics and students of color in Indiana, along with many first generation and low-income students.

“They’re financially needy, underprepared for college, so we need to think about what we need to do as an institution to help these kids,” he said. “If you haven’t noticed, we are located in a town of 6,000, rural Indiana, mostly white. Even from another state, Indiana can be a shock.”

McFadden told a story about a conversation he had with students at his Tall Oaks residence on campus about what was hard about being here. A male student told the president, “Getting a haircut. At home I used to get a haircut every week, and I haven’t had a haircut for six weeks.”

McFadden wants M a n c h e s t e r University to within the next decade become Northeast Indiana’s leading health sciences educator.

According to national database information from high school seniors taking the SAT/ACT tests, the second highest interest listed is nursing, he said.

“We don’t offer nursing. If we did, we could capture that.”

McFadden then said look at Parkview Wabash Hospital as an example.

“They have something like, what, 800 nursing jobs open? And we know one-third of our students arrive interested in prehealth sciences.”

“We need to adapt to the students coming in, but we also need to adapt to the needs of employers,” McFadden said, adding: “Change is hard. The why won’t change. The how will change. There where will change. But the why, Manchester University’s mission and values, won’t change.”

NM HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS PETE JONES: On Monday, Nov. 12, the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society is pleased to host popular historian Pete Jones for a program about frontier surveyors. 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 6:30 p.m. The program is open to the public at no cost.

Pete will address the significance of how surveyors provided an orderly manner for purchasing farmland in the undeveloped west.

The Northwest Ordinance permitted legal ownership of land to the pioneers.

The ordinance structured land and provided settlers with civil liberties. Pete will explain how surveys provide detailed information on what the land looked like before settlement.

The rules set out in the Ordinance set the pattern for land sales in about threefourths of all US lands.

Jones taught for 38 years, most of that time teaching American History, English and journalism at Manchester

High School. He retired in 1999. He served on the board of the Wabash Carnegie Library for 25 years. Currently on the board of the Wabash County Historical Museum, Jones writes a weekly history column for the Wabash Plain Dealer and has written a monthly column for the Ford Meter Box Company marketing department for 34 years. A sampling of these columns has been collected and published.

Jones’ articles have appeared in The Wall Street Journal and American History Magazine. In 2015, the Indiana Historical Society awarded Jones awarded the Hubert Hawkins History Award for his distinguished service and career in local history. Jones is a wellregarded speaker and researcher whose relaxed and interesting narrative style makes his historical research seem more like a

story, a “good yarn” that’s engaging and appealing. His many past students and acquaintances will especially enjoy this program.

‘UNVEILED’ TAKES STAGE AT MU: Critically acclaimed Chicago playwright and solo performance artist Rohina Malik is coming to Manchester University to share stories of faith in “Unveiled,” a onewoman play.

The performance is 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13, in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus. It is free and open to the public.

She gives voice to five Muslim women in a post-9/11 world as they serve tea and uncover in monologues what lies beneath the veil. The object that binds their stories is the hijab, the traditional headscarf worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty.

The garment reflects deep devotion and sincere piety – but it can also be a target of hostility and abuse from individuals blinded by Islamophobia. Malik is an exceptional storyteller. Her onewoman play was developed and had its world premiere at Chicago’s 16th Street

Theater. She is a recipient of the national Lee Reynolds Award, honoring women whose work in theater pushes for social, cultural or political change.

This performance is sponsored by the Peace Studies Institute through the support of the William H. and Miriam W. Cable Peace Studies Fund.

Hands Of Hope to change domestic violence statistics

By The Paper staff MARION – Hands of Hope exists to intervene and prevent domestic and sexual violence and stalking through education, advocacy, and comprehensive strategies.

Domestic violence is an issue that not only affects men and women, but their families and our community.

The program operates a 24-hour helpline, the Flannery Keal Home for those seeking safe shelter, and prevention education to all school systems in Grant and Wabash counties.

Domestic violence is more common than most realize. In the US, an average of 20 people experience intimate partner physical violence every minute,

equating to more than 10 million abuse victims annually. 19.3 million Women and 5.1 million men in the US have been stalked. Between 21-60% of victims of intimate partner violence lose their jobs due to reasons stemming from the abuse.

Domestic violence that might start with verbal or emotional abuse can quickly turn into sexual or physical abuse that has often resulted in death. With stats like these, we feel even more assured in the work to encourage, empower and educate children, adults and families to change their lives for good.

Domestic violence often requires someone to leave their home.

Housing is the most

requested need – 58.8 percent of all needs. Of those housing needs, homeless shelters and domestic violence shelters are the most requested service.

That’s where Hands of Hope comes in.

Through the work of Hands of Hope, 8,047 students were reached with Domestic Violence prevention teachings, 90 percent of youth report understanding healthy relationships, 2,627 people had safe bed nights, and 188 men, women and children received services at Flannery-Keal Home.

For those who would like to get involved and help, Hands of Hope needs support of the Flannery Keal Home, a safe shelter for those fleeing domestic vio-

lence. Items like cleaning supplies, paper products, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, new kitchenware and non-perishable food are always needed and can be delivered to Family Service Society, Inc. at 101 S Washington St., Marion, IN. We are grateful for the community support that allows us to continue to intervene and prevent domestic violence and stalking through education, advocacy, and comprehensive strategies.

For additional information about services or donation of items please call 765-664-0701 or email Linda Wilk, Hands of Hope Director a t lwilk@famservices.com .

Honeywell Foundation receives matching grant

By The Paper staff The Honeywell Foundation has been awarded a special matching grant opportunity from the Dekko Foundation in the amount of up to $100,000 for the Eagles Theatre Renovation Project.

In 2017, the H o n e y w e l l F o u n d a t i o n launched an $18 million dollar campaign for a top-to-bottom makeover of the 110 year old landmark.

The Honeywell Foundation needs to raise funds from businesses and individuals from Kosciusko, Whitley, Dekalb, Noble, Lagrange and Steuben counties in order to receive the match. So far, $50,000 has already been

raised.

Gifts and pledges need to be received by Dec. 15 in order to qualify.

“This is an amazing opportunity that will engage audiences in the future programming held in the newly renovated Eagles Theatre,” according to Cathy Gatchel, Vice President of Development and Marketing.

Funds raised from the Dekko matching opportunity will fund sensory-friendly movies to be shown weekly.

Sensory-friendly movies feature decreased sound, increased lighting and an informal atmosphere to allow a special movie experience for persons who might otherwise become overwhelmed during typ-

ical movie-watching.

Further, the Foundation will offer 2,000 students from rural counties access to artistic and educational programming through live theatrical productions, known as “Page to Stage Matinees,” where students will be able to see their favorite stories come to life on stage, enriching their educational experiences.

“Page to Stage Matinees allow books and literature to come alive for young students and we are thrilled to offer more of these opportunities at Eagles Theatre”, says Teresa Galley, Director of Education and Outreach.

Visit Wabash County’s new Christmas ornament. Photo provided bers sewing, quilting, embroidering, and crocheting in great detail.

“I made many wonderful memories growing up in Roann that included attending Roann Elementary, working at the grocery store, and riding bikes all over town,” Rebolz said, “I especially loved riding bikes over the Roann Covered Bridge and listening to the clacking of the boards as we sped through. The overall structure and design of the bridge fascinated me at an

early age.”

Jennifer LongDillon, tourism manager for Visit Wabash County said, “I am very pleased with how much detail is included in every ornament. The Roann Covered Bridge is such an incredible, iconic landmark to Wabash County, that I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have Angie recreate it in her own way. I am very excited to share the creative talent of Angie’s work with you.”

A limited quantity of 100 ornaments will

be available for purchase beginning Nov. 1 and will be available on a first come, first served basis. New this year, ornaments can now be purchased online at VisitWabashCounty.c om and picked up at the Welcome Center at your convenience.

Little Red Caboose to be dedicated Nov. 3 The story of the Little Red Caboose began a little over a year ago when Dick Siders of rural Roann decided he would like to donate his Nickel Plate caboose No.1142 to the Roann Lions Club and the Roann Heritage Group.

Siders had owned the caboose for several years and used it as

his office in Disko for his business.

After all the paperwork was completed for the new owners, the next step was to decide where the caboose would sit in the town. After several suggestions, the Roann/Paw Paw township library board agreed for it to be parked on the

library grounds. But the outside of the caboose was to be restored before it was moved to town.

The caboose remained on Siders’ property for the work to be done.

He enjoyed seeing the caboose being restored and also helped to move the (continued on page 13)

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “Sports are a great vehicle for teaching our youth many life lessons. I advocate that children should try as many different sports as possible till they find their niche. One of the great things about the sport of tennis is there is no time clock.

That serves to teach children to never give up no matter the score. I relate this to life in the fact that we are often presented with obstacles in trying to reach or goals but give in too soon.

On the tennis court you have to “grind out” a match sometimes, just like in life you have to “grind it out” when things aren’t going as you hoped.

Perhaps courage doesn’t reside in having never lost, but in the courage to battle and grow as strong as possible during adversity.”

However, the work crew discovered that a couple of the big beams on the underneath side needed to be replaced, and other additional repairs. This particular caboose which was built in 1908 is rare in its kind.

Rick Morris President of the Lions Club contacted Don Glass who is a part of the Nickel Plate Historical Society in Ohio. He plans to make a sign for each side of the caboose with the No.1142 Nickel Plate Rail on it for the train car.

Woman pleads guilty in NM manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death

By Nancy Neff nneff@nmpaper.com A Columbia City woman pled guilty to the 2017 shooting death of her former husband and attempted murder of his wife in North Manchester.

On Monday, Tiffany ChapmanLane, 34, entered a plea agreement in Wabash Circuit Court for the murder of her ex-husband, Jacob Chapman, and attempted murder of his wife, Sarah Chapman, in their North Manchester driveway.

According to police reports, Chapman had a protective order against Chapman-Lane and contacted North Manchester Police on May 25, 2017, after Chapman-Lane informed him she was bringing some paperwork for him.

NM Police were en route to Chapmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence when Chapman-Lane gave her ex-husband the paperwork.

Police reported Sarah Chapman told Chapman-Lane the police were on their way to the North Manchester home.

Chapman-Lane then reportedly pulled out a handgun and fired three or four shots.

Chapman reportedly fell to the ground and Sarah Chapman

grabbed ChapmanLane before turning her attention to her husband, unaware she had also been shot.

As Chapman-Lane began to leave, she reportedly turned around and shot Chapman several more times before leaving the scene, according to a proba-

ble cause affidavit filed by the North Manchester Police.

In a separate probable cause affidavit, it was reported Chapman-Lane drove to the North Manchester Police Station, turned herself in and told officers the gun was in her car. She reportedly declined to speak

with police until she spoke with an attorney.

Chapman-Lane was originally charged with murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery and carrying a handgun without a license.

Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 7, 2019.

VIEWPOINT OUR VIEW

Don’t forget to vote Nov. 6

The 2018 election season is quickly drawing to a close. Wabash County residents will take to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 6. That is to say, Wabash County residents who have not already taken advantage of the early voting option available in Wabash County will take to the polls.

By all indications, this could be a record year for voter turnout. As of Monday morning, 2,226 people have cast early votes in the county. That is nearly double the amount who did so four years ago, during the last mid-term election.

There are several factors that seem to be driving the incease in turnout, none the least of which are the school board elections in the Metro-politan School District of Wabash County and in the Manchester Community Schools District. Add to that, the referendum on a new fieldhouse in the Manchester district and it’s easy to see why voters are anxious to have their voices heard this year.

Many newspapers traditionally endorse one candidate or another, one issue or another. We don’t believe in doing so.

Rather, we believe in encouraging voters to do their own research on candidates and issues, and then make up their own minds on who to cast their votes for.

Early voting is still available at the Wabash County Clerk’s office in the County Judicial Center from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Extended hours also are planned not only at the Judicial Center, but at Peabody Retirement Community in North Manchester and the LaFontaine/Liberty Township Fire Department in LaFontaine on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Early voting ends at noon Monday, Nov. 5.

For those who want to cast a vote the oldfashioned way, voting will run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 10 locations around Wabash County. (The full list of Vote Centers can be found in a story that begins on Page 1 of this week’s newspaper.)

We strongly urge each person who is registered to vote to get out and cast a ballot either during early voting or next Tuesday at the polls.

If you don’t do so, and your favorite candidate or issue fails, doin’t complain. You have no one to blame but yourself.

Questions remain on MCS’s proposed fieldhouse plans Dear Editor: Next week, weeks Pleasant and Chester voters will be making one of the biggest decisions ever for our community. There have been plenty of differing opinions, some name calling, signs stolen, people flipped off, and money poured into each faction that might have been more useful in other ways. Every time I received a postcard from the PAC, I thought about the $1,500 mailing cost and how many MCS clubs would have been thrilled to have that donation. I thought about the cost to put in a full page ad in our paper and how those dollars might have been useful purchasing school supplies. I thought about, how in every ad or video, PAC mentions building strong communities yet this referendum is tearing us apart.

The long term financial effects of your vote will linger long after the signs are gone.

After Nov. 6, we can move forward. We can take the opportunity to decide how to best improve the MCS facilities as a community or

will build a fieldhouse, do a few upgrades and have empty wallets. We will have a chance to join our needs/wants, and then figure a budget which will be more amicable to everyone.

But, you have to vote “no” build a better plan. I am very disappointed in the PAC actions/responses to our citizens. If you read the meeting summary questions from their Sept. 18 meeting, you will see question No.25 was “withdrawn.” I didn’t withdraw it, I simply asked to have my card returned

when it was obvious there was no intention of addressing it. It’s been a month and I am still wondering, “Why should we personally spend between $230 and $510 a month in additional taxes for 20 years on this project?

Is it really fiscally responsible?”

Let me ask: Has PAC addressed the financial burden this fieldhouse will place on agriculture and business?

Has PAC mentioned that this nearly 26 million dollar project added to the current

Dazey, Driscoll deserve support Dear Editor: In the last school board election, I voted for someone because he said he would “be there for my grandkids and MSD”. It has been very clear to me once I started attending board meetings that I made a huge mistake.

With this election, I see candidates that are doing a lot of squawking but saying a whole lot of nothing while their kids attend other schools. One of the candidates even appears that she is OK with board members going against

some the code of ethics set forth by the board. It appears like she wants to pick and choose. I don’t agree with her flippant approach.

I am looking for candidates that have PROVEN to be there for my grandkids. I have watched Todd Dazey’s and Matt Driscoll’s decisions and they are making sound decisions for our kids while keeping us financially strong.

Vote Dazey and Driscoll MSD School Board.

— Charles Enyeart, Wabash

MSD incumbents have experience Dear Editor: It has been said that MSD is going to be forced to consolidate.

But then you hear North Manchester will never consolidate. Does that make sense to you?

There has been so many scare tactics out there and so many attempts to discredit our school board’s accomplishments over the past 3 years. Please don’t fall into the trap. There is a lot at stake here.

Todd Dazey and Matt Driscoll

have worked diligently with the rest of the board to bring the schools back from the poor decisions made prior to Sandra Weaver leaving MSD. Dazey and Driscoll have a proven record. Before you vote for a change, know what that “Vote for a change” might be. Dazey and Driscoll have wanted to work (collaborate) with WCS since 2014.

Vote them in and let’s get to collaborating! — Denise Enyeart, Wabash

debt will be over 37 million owed in property taxes just for our schools?

Has PAC told us what the cost of a new proposed jail adds to the bottom line for our taxes?

Has PAC indicated who or what committee initiated this proposal, offered any compromise, or willingness to revisit it? It’s “go big or go home.”

Has PAC addressed the big picture for North Manchester? It’s just push for a “safety project” with a field house thrown in.

Has PAC played our emotions trying to slide this in before new laws concerning building projects take effect next year?

We don’t have the infrastructure to support the proposed events. We don’t have the tax base to support an expense of this magnitude.

We don’t have enough industry/businesses to make this viable. What we do have is a chance to make superior improvements for MCS. Don’t let this fieldhouse become the “Titanic” of North Manchester. Vote No. — Valynnda Slack, PhD, Pleasant Township

Haupert, Galley seek solutions Dear Editor: I have been watching the MSD School Board debate with great interest. I am a proud graduate of MSD, and my late father, Fred Squires, was a former member, and past President, of the MSD School Board.

During the many years he served the District, his efforts were always focused on making sure the education of children was the top priority and focused on providing the students with skills and knowledge relevant to the challenges of growing up and graduating to become the next generation to serve our community.

Those who knew my father would agree that a defining characteristic of his character and success was his ability to work across all types of divides.

And it is clear to me that leadership like that is what is need-

ed now more than ever in these uncertain times.

Unfortunately, that is not what I have seen in the last couple of years. Instead, so many of the problems we currently face appear to be the result of certain school board members’ egos — more concerned about “winning” or “losing” and less about creating the best educational environment for the children. That is simply not the purpose of education, nor will it lead to the best outcome for our children and the future of our community.

We need leaders like my Dad – those who are willing to look for solutions to the challenges with open minds and a willingness to work with others. That is why I am voting for Teresa Galley and Tiffany Haupert. – Lizabeth Stein, Wabash

VIEWPOINT MCS Fieldhouse is not a need

NM business owners support MCS referendum

Dear Editor: This whole process has been mishandled from the beginning.

The community has been left out and the Referendum is being pushed at us as if this as a safety issue when the board has put other safety issues on the back burner, not contacted any authoritative bureaus to make sure the right changes are being made to insure the safety of the children in our schools. Why have they done this, because they don’t want to show the Fieldhouse for what it really is, this is a want, not a need.

They claim that the Fieldhouse will bring in more students to our schools and will bring prosperity to our town, these statements do not have anything to do with the safety of the children currently enrolled at MCS, this is only a play to make people see this as necessary for the growth of our community. Spending $26 million (yes, I’m including the interest since we will have to pay it) for a shiny new toy will not guarantee growth for North Manchester or MCS, it may bring in some revenue from people who want to see what a $26 million playhouse looks like.

I believe those who will think about moving to North Manchester will want to know why such a small community would spend their hard-earned money for such a luxury item and their research will show the division this has caused and the burden for those on a fixed income and those living paycheck to paycheck. I believe they’ll think twice

Dear editor: As owners of a business that would be affected by the fieldhouse referendum, we hope our voice adds value to the current debate. Midwest Poultry Services has its roots in North Manchester, beginning in 1875 with the Strauss Mill. We have been invested in this community since, and plan to be for at least another 143 years. For that to happen, we must address the challenges of declining population and school competition.

Strengthening our school district with the referendum will attract new families to our community, which will benefit businesses and current residents.

Our company operates three farms and a feed mill in the North Manchester area, and next year we will relocate our headquarters here. These facilities employ 500 people and generate a large property tax bill. That bill will increase if we adopt the referendum, but we view that increase as an important

about moving to a community that was tricked into this by “leaders” who think they know what is best and refuse to answer simple questions such as, Was a committee formed? Who was on the committee? How many times did they meet? Why was there no mention in board meetings of a fieldhouse even being considered? Why was the community not given the opportunity to suggest options?

Why was this not presented to the community in multiple sessions giving them time to process the project, share our visions, ask questions and get answers, before trying to slip it in as a safety issue?

We have been told there has been a committee discussing this for months but we still do not know who is/was on this committee, I can only surmise we are not being given these names because these persons have a conflict of interest in this project and might cause some of those Yes votes to turn to No’s.

It has been stated that “Until now...the powers that be and our school board have been the only ones with enough foresight to propose and vote on this remarkable project” and “For every person worried about not having answers to questions, ask. Don’t let others scare you into voting no because you don’t know. This project has so much potential for our community!” my response…..I will not be Bullied into a Yes vote!!

I vote no! – Randy Glover, North Manchester

investment in our town’s future. We rely on North Manchester and the surrounding towns for talented, hardworking people. For us, finding the right employees is more important than a modest tax increase.

One frequent criticism of this project is that it seems to favor athletics over academics, but that argument ignores how intertwined the two sides are. Athletes tend to earn better grades, score better on standardized tests, and succeed even after graduation. Ask any corporate recruiter if they prefer student athletes and they will reply with a whole-hearted yes. Former athletes work better in teams, are more organized, and know how to recover after a setback. An investment in athletics is an investment in well-rounded, capable graduates, exactly the kind of people we want to hire.

Of course, to graduate successful members of society, schools must have students.

Today, schools face stiff competition for students, faculty, and staff. Families make decisions about where to live based on needs such as school, day-care, and athletic facilities. If our community fails to attract those students and families, it will continue down the path of population decline. We must do everything possible to avoid that decline, and the referendum is a great way to give our children the vibrant, growing community they deserve.

Our families live and work here, so personally and professionally, we want to see our community succeed.

Every small town is facing the same challenge of population decline, and we believe the referendum is the kind of bold action North Manchester needs to reverse that trend while serving those who already live here.

We hope you agree when you go to the ballot box on Nov. 6 and vote yes! — Bob Krouse and Dan Krouse, Midwest Poultry Services

Part of referendum is confusing for some voters Dear Editor: The referendum question on the ballot in this election for the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools’ building project has raised many questions from voters who want to make an informed decision before deciding how to cast their ballot.

One part of the referendum question causes some confusion. The question on the ballot quotes a tax increase of $0.3885 instead of the $0.2152

put forth by the school district and their financial consultant, Umbaugh and Associates.

The correct number to use in determining the increase each property owner will see in an annual property tax bill, compared to this year, is the $0.2152 per $100 of net assessed value.

The Indiana Department of Local Government Finance, who determine how the question will be put on the ballot, uses

the $0.3880 figure to show the maximum debt service levy for all debt, including the last few payments on current debt that will be retired in 2026.

Again, the increase in the debt service rate for the project on the ballot is $0.2152 added to the current total tax rate for MCS, which is the lowest of surrounding districts

and in the lowest 25% of all of Indiana.

That increase is what is reflected within the calculator on the web page of Friends of Manchester Schools: w w w. s u p p o r t m a n chesterschools.com. – Jim Smith and Nancy Alspaugh, co-chairs, Friends of Manchester Schools

Chinworth to be honored at Early Learning Center

A celebration honoring Jim Chinworth will be held on Saturday, Nov. 17, at 1 p.m., at the Manchester Early Learning Center.

The center’s board of directors recently named MELC’s grounds the “ C h i n w o r t h Campus.”

Chinworth was the youth pastor of the Manchester Church of the Brethren when the idea of providing the center with a new home was first discussed. A campaign was then launched by the youth to raise the funds necessary to build the building.

“Jim was the mortar, so to speak, that held the campaign together and provided the encouragement necessary for success,” according to Jim Smith, president of the MELC Board of Directors.

“We recognize the fact that, if not for Jim’s work, the project would not have been successful.”

Six years ago this month, in November of 2013, the youth group started talking about the possibility of helping the Manchester Early Learning Center find a new home.

That initial discussion led to an unprecedented effort by that group of

young leaders to conduct a campaign to build the building that now houses MELC at the corner of 7th and Market streets.

The $2.7 million dollar project was completed in May 2017 and a large percentage of the funds raised privately for

that project was directly due to the work of the church youth.

In order to be successful with this effort, the youth needed to learn a whole range of skills, from understanding exactly what the center needed to meet regulations to getting

over the nervous feeling of making a “cold call” to solicit funds.

Along the way, the youth learned about “return on investment” from early childhood education in order to build a case for potential donors.

It was a real-life learning experience

with an emphasis on service to the community.

The youth were mentored, encouraged, led, taught, and cajoled by their Youth Pastor, Jim Chinworth. Over the four-year progression of the project, members of the youth group came

and went, but Chinworth was the constant.

The community of North Manchester is invited to attend the celebration of the designation of the “ C h i n w o r t h Campus” at the Manchester Early Learning Center.

‘Unveiled’ takes stage at Manchester University From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — Critically acclaimed Chicago playwright and solo performance artist Rohina Malik is coming to M a n c h e s t e r University to share stories of faith in “Unveiled,” a onewoman play.

The performance is 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13, in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus. It is free and open to the public.

She gives voice to five Muslim women in a post-9/11 world as they serve tea and uncover in monologues what lies beneath the veil.

The object that binds their stories is the hijab, the traditional headscarf worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty. The garment reflects deep

devotion and sincere piety – but it can also be a target of hostility and abuse from individuals blinded

by Islamophobia.

Malik is an exceptional storyteller.

Her one-woman play was developed and had its world premiere at Chicago’s 16th Street Theater.

She is a recipient of the national Lee Reynolds Award, honoring women whose work in theater pushes for social, cultural or political change.

This performance is sponsored by the Peace Studies Institute through the support of the William H. and Miriam W. Cable Peace Studies Fund.

It is part of the Values, Ideas and the Arts series.

The Peace Studies Institute, established

by Gladdys Muir at Manchester in 1948, was the first undergraduate peace studies program in the

Visitors tour Alber House

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Visitors from around the area stepped back into history on Saturday while touring the Alber House, Built in 1849, the home is thought to be one of the oldest homes still standing in Wabash County.

Philip Alber, with help from his brother, built his home in just 10 days in 1849, according information from Indiana Landmarks.

An immigrant from Lichtenstein where

he made his living as a mason, Alber used local brick and stone.

He and his wife, Barbara, lived on the upper floor. The lower level, with access from the rear, served as a Germanstyle café that opened to a backyard beer garden. Alber was locally known for his brewing skills and along with a business partner founded the Reddig & Alber Brewing Co. The home is described as being in Federal style, with original wood staircases, wide-plank wood floors on the

main level, and a limestone floor on the lower level, where hand-hewn wood beams remain from the Bavarian café days.

The 1,600-squarefoot house has three levels, with a living room, kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms, and one full and one half bathroom.

I n d i a n a Landmarks acquired the house to prevent its demolition and restored the exterior with support from the City of Wabash, the Efroymson Family Fund and the

Alber family.

Knights advance in grid sectionals

By The Paper staff FREMONT — The Southwood football squad rolled to 11-0 Friday night with a 37-6 victory over Fremont in sectional semifinal action.

The Class A No. 3-ranked Knights built a 28-0 lead by the half and never looked back. Fremont scored its lone touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Junior Gabe Lloyd continued his tear through the season, finishing with 17 carries for 209 yards and two TDs to lead the Knights.

Quarterback Alex Farr also fared well in the win, completing 5-of-10 passes for 76 yards and a pair of TDs to aid the victory cause.

Lloyd caught a 46-yard touchdown pass from Farr, and Logan Barley added four carries for 62 yards and a touchdown.

Dawson Filip rounded out Southwood’s stat leaders with a 15-yard touchdown catch.

The Knights will travel Class A No. 2 ranked Adams Central (11-0) for the sectional title game Friday, Nov. 2.

Lady Apaches fall in semi-state play

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com FRANKFORT – Wabash High School’s volleyball squad saw its season come to an end Saturday, Oct. 27 in the IHSAA Class 2A North Semistate against North Judson, 25-22, 25-22, 25-20.

The Lady Apaches were kept out of system all night, struggling mightily to receive serves for much of the match.

Wabash jumped out to a 9-4 lead in the first set with the help from an ace from Brooke Irgang and a pair of kills from Tabatha Wagner, enticing NJ to call a timeout.

Wabash miscues late in the set allowed NJ to take over a pull out the win.

“I thought in the first set we were doing good job, just seeing them for the first time,” Wabash coach Katie Cromer said. “We had a lot of good hustle plays.

When we got our passes to target we got a kill. We had a lot of mismatches on the outside. But we were out of system most of the night and that was our downfall.

Wabash struggled to keep pace in the second set due to miscues.

A kill from Alivia Short and a tip kill from Samantha Irgang gave the Apaches a 13-9 lead, but the Bluejays reeled them in.

Mackenzie Harper dropped in a tip kill and Courtney Trusty scored an ace to give NJ the lead for good in the second set.

A Wagner kill gave Wabash an early 3-1 lead in the third set, but the Bluejays would again take over.

A mini rally by NJ gave them a 10-7 lead, calling for a time out from Cromer.

Short stamped another kill, but the Bluejays maintained the

momentum and a 19-15 lead in the set. Wabash got no closer than three the rest of the way, Wabash capped a stellar year.

The Lady Apaches set a school record for wins (33-4), and went through the Three Rivers Conference undefeated to claim the crown. They then backed that up with the program’s first sectional and regional titles before falling in a tight match Saturday.

“I think it’s amazing,” Cromer said. “We set a school record for most wins. We won the conference at 8-0. Then to win the first sectional and regional in program history is incredible. We didn’t roll over today, we went out and competed for a semistate.

That was great.

Mariah Wyatt led the Apaches with eight kills, while Wagner, Short, and Samantha Irgang each added seven.

Wyatt also led the squad with three blocks, and Wagner and Samantha Irgang both added two.

Brooke Irgang posted a team high 18 digs, while McKenzie Hayslett added 16 and Kaylee Graf 14. Brooke Irgang also dished out 14 assists in the loss.

Wabash will have big shoes to fill, saying goodbye to eight seniors.

“We had a lot of seniors on the team,” Cromer said. “They did a good job of leaving a legacy and a good reputation for our program. I’m hoping the girls that were here and sat on the bench will realize how much time those seniors put in to get where they are. And, then in the offseason do the same to get back here someday.

Create a vehicle preparedness kit From Metro Creative Graphics Breaking down while driving can be unnerving, potentially delaying trips and stranding motorists and their passengers for lengthy periods of time.

However, for those with well-equipped emergency preparedness kits in their vehicles’ trunks, breakdowns can be much easier to manage.

Even though new vehicles are loaded with advanced technology, drivers are no less likely to avoid breakdowns. In fact, roadside calls for stranded vehicles are on the rise. A study by the American A u t o m o b i l e Association found that, in 2015, 32 million drivers required the organization’s services, with issues regarding vehicle batteries, flat tires and vehicle keys reaching all-time highs. Despite early warning systems, more than half a million drivers in the United States ran out of gas last year, necessitating service calls.

Here’s what to stock in an emergency preparedness kit for a vehicle.

• Sustenance: It’s impossible to determine how long you may be stranded if your vehicle breaks down.

Therefore, keep some high-calorie energy or protein bars, or other portable foods with a long shelf lives, in your vehicle at all times.

• Water: Popular Mechanics says a person needs roughly a gallon per day to stay hydrated. If that’s too much to pack, bring empty water bottles and purification tablets.

Otherwise, stock up on bottled water.

Keep on going green this winter

Harsh winter weather can make it challenging to live in an eco-friendly way. But there are many ways to withstand winter and do so in a way that does not hurt the planet.

From Metro Creative Graphics Each season presents its own unique set of challenges.

From summer heat waves to spring rainstorms to snowfall in winter, the planet throws a lot at its inhabitants.

Living an ecofriendly lifestyle is often simple. But sometimes the weather can make it hard to maintain a commitment to going green.

Winter weather can be particularly challenging, as it can be hard to sacrifice convenience and comfort in the face of harsh weather. But there are ways to stay true to your eco-friendly roots even when winter weather is at its

most unpleasant.

• Save your fireplace ashes. If your home has a fireplace that you like to cozy up next to in winter, you can make great use of the ashes left behind when the fire goes out.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, ashes from woodburning fireplaces can be added to compost heaps. Once added, these ashes help to create a soil amendment that can deliver valuable nutrients to your garden.

After each fire, collect the ashes rather than sweeping them up and discarding them.

Then add the collected ashes to your compost pile when the weather permits.

• Install a programmable thermostat. If you don’t already have one, install a programmable thermostat in your home. The Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy notes that homeowners can save as much as 10 percent a year on heating and cooling costs by turning their thermostats back 7° to 10° F for eight hours per day. Set the thermostat to drop 10°F when the family leaves for work and/or school in the morning, programming it to return to a more comfortable level when the family returns home at night. This saves you from sitting in a cold home while also saving you money by making sure you are not paying to heat an empty house.

• Have your home

heating system inspected before winter hits full swing.

Home heating systems, including boilers and furnaces, should be inspected by a professional each year, ideally before the arrival of winter.

Heating systems that are not operating at peak efficiency will cost homeowners money and waste energy. If you notice yourself frequently increasing the temperature on your thermostat just to keep your home warm and comfortable, call a local HVAC professional to inspect the system. Scheduling such an appointment prior to the arrival of winter can save you the cost and discomfort of living with an inefficient system.

• Choose an electric snowblower.

Many homeowners now use snowblowers instead of shovels to remove snow from their properties. While snow shovels are the most eco-friendly snow removal tool, even the most eco-conscious homeowners recognize how snowblowers make snow removal easy and more efficient. But gas-powered snowblowers consume substantial amounts of fuel. If you must use a snowblower, choose an electric one instead of one powered by gas. Even though electric snowblowers consume electricity, the EPA notes that such products leave a smaller carbon footprint than gaspowered snowblowers because they do not emit greenhouse gases.

7 uses for fallen leaves By the time autumn hits full swing, many trees will have shed their leaves for the season, and the last vestiges of red, yellow and orange magic will have faded to brown.

Raking, blowing and collecting leaves becomes the primary chores of lawn and yard maintenance, and presents most homeowners with large piles of gathered leaves to tend to.

It is impossible to count just how many leaves fall to the ground each year, or just how many pounds of leaves get collected curbside, but the numbers are s u b s t a n t i a l .

Cleaning up leaves is considerable work, but not all of those leaves need to be carted away. In fact, there are several different uses of leaves that can be beneficial.

1. Spread leaves as a protective mulch to cover tender perennials or root crops/bulbs in the ground. The leaves will form a natural insulating cover that keeps the soil and the plants within a bit warmer over winter.

2. Create a pile of leaves that will break down and form a crumbly, compost-like material called leaf mold.

Even though leaf mold may sound like

a blight, it’s actually a good amendment to garden soil, improving its structure and ability to hold water.

Leaf mold also attracts beneficial organisms that are vital in healthy soil.

3. Brown leaves can be added to green materials in compost piles to improve the health of the compost being formed. According to the healthy living resource Care2, the ideal ratio is 75 percent brown to 25 percent green materials in compost. Turn compost piles regularly to aerate them.

4. Store dried, mulched leaves in a

dry spot so they can be used in the spring as a weed barrier for spring plantings.

They will keep weeds at bay and help retain soil moisture to ensure small sprouts have the resources to grow.

5. Use shredded leaves as a lawn supplement. Pass a lawn mower over leaves left on the lawn to break them down into pieces too small to rake. This will help keep the lawn healthy throughout the winter without blocking out needed sunlight.

6. Bag dried leaves and pack them tightly together in cold

areas of the home, such as basements or garages. They can act as added insulation. Bags of leaves also can be placed around planting containers to protect them from frost.

7. Gather a few of the best-looking leaves and preserve them. Use an iron on a low setting and press leaves between two pieces of waxed paper until the waxed paper seals together. Or use clear contact paper to achieve the same effect.

Fallen leaves can be used in many different ways throughout the year.

Weatherizing to save money and energy From Metro Creative Graphics Homeowners know that maintaining a comfortable home can be a lot of work. As one project is completed or addressed, another may pop up. In spite of the hard work that can go into maintaining a home, many homeowners would agree that such efforts are well worth it to feel safe and comfortable inside one’s own home.

Weatherization is one of the ways to make a home more comfortable while also saving money and energy. Some weatherization projects may be best left to the professionals, while others can be tackled by homeowners themselves. The following are some projects homeowners can expect to encounter as they weatherize their homes or work with professional weatherization services.

• Home energy audit: The U.S. Department of Energy notes that the purpose of a home energy audit is to give homeowners a complete picture of how they consume energy. Audits can shed light on how much energy is being con-

sumed and if there is anywhere in the home where energy might be going to waste. Audits should be conducted before beginning any weatherization projects.

Professional auditors may give advice on which areas of the home should be addressed first, while DIYers who conduct their own audits can make a list of issues before determining where to start.

• Leakage: Homeowners may think leakage only poses a problem in winter, when cold air can creep in through cracks around doors and windows and make residents cold, forcing them to raise the temperature on the thermostat. But leaks can affect

comfort levels and energy bills during the summer, too, forcing homeowners to adjust their air conditioners to ensure a home is cool on hot days. Choose a cool, windy day to inspect for drafts around doors and windows. The DOE notes that air leakage can adversely affect indoor air quality and contribute to moisture problems that can affect occupants’ health.

• Insulation: A poorly insulated home will cost more to heat in winter and more to keep cool in summer. The DOE notes that heat flows from warmer to cooler until there is no longer a temperature difference. So during winter, heat will flow from heated living spaces to unheated areas of the home, including attics and garages. In summer, heat will flow from the outdoors into the home.

Properly insulating a home will decrease this flow of heat, ensuring homeowners aren’t paying to heat rooms they don’t use in winter or paying more to keep rooms cool in summer because heat is flowing in from the exterior of the home.

Weatherizing a home is a great way for homeowners to reduce their carbon footprints and save some money.

Safely avoid potential winter hazards

By Metro Creative Graphics Winter can be a beautiful time of year, particularly when freshly fallen snow blankets the landscape. However, winter is also a time fraught with potential peril.

The same winter weather that makes landscapes so pristine can make roads and walkways — and even being outside — dangerous.

The U.S. Department of Transportation says weather-related vehicle crashes killed 6,253 people last year and injure more than 480,000 per year. These accidents most often occur when roadways are wet, snowy or icy. Yet, winter driving is not the only seasonal hazard. Here are some common winter activities and how to avoid getting hurt when engaging in them.

Driving Exercise extra caution when driving on roadways during the winter, as they may contain ice or snow. All it takes is a small coating of precipitation on roadways to make driving treacherous.

Wet-looking roadways may be wet, or they may be covered by ice, and it’s difficult to tell the difference with the naked eye. Always slow down and assume you are driving on ice.

Make every effort to improve visibility.

This includes checking windshield washer fluid levels and ensuring windshield blades are in good working order.

Snow removal Shoveling or removing snow by various methods can be strenuous work, taking even those who feel they are

in good shape by surprise. A 2011 study conducted by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital found that an average of 11,500 snow-shovelingrelated injuries and medical emergencies were treated in U.S. emergency departments each year from 1990 to 2006.

Lower back injuries, falls, injuries to the arms and hands and cardiac-related injuries account for many of the incidents sustained while removing snow. There’s also the risk of injury from collisions with pedestrians and snow plows. Plows and bobcat-type devices can cause serious injury.

Exercise caution when operating such machines.

Roof snow removal Removing snow from a roof can be a dangerous prospect.

Always use the appropriate equipment, which includes telescoping poles, rather than climbing on slippery roofs. This may be a job best left for a professional, who will have fall-arrest systems and nonslip safety boots.

Dressing for conditions Venturing outdoors for winter fun may be enticing, but never put

your health at risk for the sake of fun. The Mayo Clinic says hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously low body temperature.

Wear appropriate clothing to prevent hypothermia, which may not produce any initial symptoms. If shivering stops or confusion and slurred speech set in, severe hypothermia is in effect and a person should be moved indoors and gently warmed. Mild hypothermia is also possible indoors, typically when the elderly spend several hours in poorly heated homes.

Winter may be beautiful, but it also can be hazardous. Taking precautions and using common sense help avoid dangerous situations.

served by Arc. Paintings in this show were produced by 23 artists.

“I think it gives them a sense of pride,” said Lindsay Swihart, Vice President of Programs and Services at Arc. ‘They get to see their work showcased in front of other people. They take a lot of pride when they do it, so I think it allows everybody to see their talents.”

Arc sold nearly 80 percent of its paintings a year ago.

Money received from the previous art show in 2017 provided the funds for all the artists supplies and framing.

This year, some of the proceeds will also be used as awards to

the top three artists.

Borders & Beyond Gallery provides Arc a generous discount on matting and framing The art classes are made available to those exhibiting an interest in learning to express themselves through art.

“What impressed me the most is seeing the faces and the pride displayed by each artist when their creation is finished and on display, said Nancy Hoffman, President and CEO of Arc. “It’s wonderful.

Starting our art program at Arc about seven years ago has been a dream come true. Having gallery showings is spectacular; beyond anything I could have imagined.”

Artists Lisa Richey (from left), Buddy Ireland, Darlene McCarty, and VP of Programs and Services Lindsay Swihart show off works of art ahead of the Touch of Arc art show and gallery on Nov. 2 at Borders & Beyond Gallery in downtown Wabash.

THE PAPER

June 13, 2018

Change sought in county handbook

By Amanda Bridgman abridgman@nmpaper.com Wabash County Commissioner Scott Givens proposed a change to the county’s employee handbook’s sick days policy at the board’s meeting Monday, Oct. 29.

Givens said he recently realized sick days don’t include if the employee needs to take care of an elderly parent, and he asked the board to amend the handbook to vote to change that unless they need to have a conversation, but it’s pretty “cut and dry.”

“That way they can use a sick day instead of a vacation day or have to lie to us,” Givens said.

Wabash County Attorney Steve Downs said he will have to look at the language that is currently used in the handbook and will work on the language for a proposal to

change it at the next meeting. The detail of if it should be for immediate family or for persons the employee is “legally responsible” was the hold up.

Commissioners also heard from Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land, who requested permission to purchase a used SUV out of commissary funds to help alleviate vehicle issues for the six new hires coming by Jan. 1. Land told commissioners he’s been told the purchase price will be $17,900, and commissioners agreed to that once Land presents them with the exact figure.

Land also got approval to continue the lease agreement again for next year’s vehicles, which will be two road cars and another pickup truck.

The sheriff reported 99 inmates are currently held in the Wabash County jail, 41 in Miami County and

nine in Elkhart county, and there were no transfers to the Department of Corrections last week, with one pending to go this week. There is a total of 151 between all three facilities.

And, lastly, commissioners were introduced to Angie Braden, who started part-time work Oct. 1 for Wabash and Miami counties to provide community wellness training. Her employment is paid for with the United States Department of Agriculture grant’s food stamp portion of the farm bill. She said her work will include making sure lowincome families have access to healthy foods, exercise and knowledge about free activities they can do.

The next Wabash County Board of Commissioners meets 9 a.m.., Monday, Nov. 5, in the Wabash County Courthouse.
