Access Youth Center heads Wabash City Alternative School By Emma Rausch Joseph Slacian news@thepaperofwabash.com The Access Youth Center (AYC) will now oversee Wabash High School’s alternative school program, according to Wabash City Schools Superintendent Jason Callahan. “We’ve had alternative programming in the past but there’s always (difficulty) trying to find the right over site, the right people, the right program,” Callahan told

The Paper of Wabash County. “It needs a lot of attention and it needs people who really can build relationships with kids and so we’ve had these programs for sometime, but it was just kind of an epiphany one day that the Access is the perfect organization to take this over. So we approached them and they were really excited about that.” The AYC was the perfect fit, Callahan said, because director Liz Hobbs and pervious assistant director Laura Helm “have a heart for kids and for the families.”

“The young students that they work with or come in contact with, Liz and Laura do life with them, they know them,” he continued. “They’re already coming down often times for after-school programming. “So I see this program as one of those that is more than just education. It has a whole-istic approach, kind of that wrap around where we’re looking at a student’s health and student’s safety and we always say that everything begins with building relationships and (continued on page 17)

Laketon sewer work nearly done By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A project 11 years in the making is nearing completion. Crews are expected to begin connecting homes in the Laketon Area Regional Sewer District to sewers sometime in August, officials from the Sewer District Board and the Wabash County Health Department told Wabash County Commissioners on Monday, July 27. Once connected, the sewage will flow to the North Manchester sewage plant, which is better equipped to handle it than the current Laketon septic system. “Laketon’s infrastructure was failing,” said Jennifer Scott, Environmental Health Specialist with the Wabash County Health Department. “Most of our small communities were hooked up, if they were lucky enough to have septic tanks, going straight to a tile. In this case, it involved a county tile, then it discharged into the Eel River.” Laketon residents became concerned with the system’s failure, (continued on page 36)

Martin Yale gets Gallimores receive Habitat home 10-year tax abatement By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Martin Yale Industries received a 10-year tax abatement from the Wabash City Council. The abatement will be used to install new manufacturing equipment, Martin Yale President Greg German told the Wabash City Council on Monday, July 27. The equipment is valued at more than $107,000, and the project was to add two new jobs at an hourly wage of $12.53 per hour, Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County told Council members. The investment “will take us in a new direction,” German told the Council. “We’re not abandoning our knitting at all – the office products industry and what we do today is very profitable for us. But that is a shrinking market. We need to do other things with the resources we have. We have a great deal of resources.” The firm is a metal fabrications company, he noted. “And it just so happens that we make folding machines and letter openers,” German continued. “Tomorrow we’re going to be a con(continued on page 15)

Thomas and Victoria Gallimore are officially the proud owners of a renovated Habitat for Humanity home in the 400 block of Miner Street in Wabash. On Sunday, Aug. 2, the Wabash County Habitat for Humanity committee turned over the house keys and Bible to the family in a dedication ceremony and open house. It means a lot to own their own home, Gallimore told The Paper of Wabash County. “There’s so many things that having our own home like this opens up for us,” he said. “Being youth leaders in our church, to be able to have the youth come over and actually have a place to come over that’s not the church building, is the biggest thing.” The Gallimore family qualified for need for housing because of minimum space, Steve Miller, executive director of Wabash County Habitat for Humanity, said. For the last five years, the Gallimores and their son Austin, 2, had only approximately 93 square feet of livable space per (continued on page 22)

2015 HARVEST HAS BEGUN!

City gets funding break on one Stellar program By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The City of Wabash’s contribution to one of the Stellar Community Grant projects will be less than originally anticipated. The Wabash City

Council learned on Monday, July 27, that the city’s matching funds for the Owner O c c u p i e d Rehabilitation program will now be $25,000, not $35,000 as first thought. The change is because the Region III-A Development &

Regional Planning Commission is only providing the city $250,000 for the first phase of the work, City Attorney Doug Lehman told the Council. It was to have provided $350,000. The city’s match is 10 percent. Because the city

DivorceCare Series meets on Tuesdays By The Paper staff DivorceCare, a 13week DVD series that features some of the nation’s foremost Christian experts on topics concerning divorce and recovery, meets in Room 112 of the Wabash Friends Church, 3563 S. State Road 13, Wabash, every Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. DivorceCare is a special weekly seminar and support

group for people who are separated or divorced. The DivorceCare group is a place where members can be around people who understood the pain of divorce and receive valuable information about ways to heal from the hurt of divorce. The DivorceCare group leaders and some members of the group meet for dinner at 5:30 p.m. at

Ugalde’s Restaurant, 1950 State Highway 15 S, Wabash. For more information, call or e-mail Hope Brown, Director of Counseling Center, at 260-563-8453, 8773 5 0 - 1 6 5 8 , Hope@wabashfriends.org, or Janet at 260-563-5235. The website of DivorceCare, is www.divorcecare.org .

Foundation; and two CNC classes and two welding classes funded by the Pauline J. Barker Educational Trust. “We have never been able to offer such an extensive schedule in industrial technology, particularly with grant funding, so this is an outstanding opportunity for our Wabash County workforce,” said Guthrie. Mark Hobbs, Director of Heartland

work. The Council unanimously passed the measure with no discussion. The Owner O c c u p i e d Rehabilitation program is designed to help low-income home owners with repairs that include making houses adaptable for seniors to age in place, create energy efficiency and make improvements to the homes by eliminating hazards and improving the overall condition of the homes. The program is broken into two phases, with about 10 homes in each phase receiving up to $20,000 in repairs during each phase.

Career Center said, “We are excited to work with educational partners within our community and region. The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County and Ivy Tech have opened doors of opportunity for learners of all ages to gain skills that will help them get and keep jobs in the A d v a n c e d Manufacturing field.”

said the organization is considered by some “to be a check writing organization. We are now building relationships.” “We have funded many education projects for traditional students coming out of high school, but this particular emphasis includes adults already in the local workforce. Even if every single high school student pursued some kind of education beyond high school, we would not have enough skilled workers to meet workforce demands.” Classes are being offered this fall at the Ivy Tech Wabash campus and at the Heartland Career Center through a partnership with Ivy Tech. The partnership has included u p g r a d i n g Heartland’s production machining, CNC, and welding equipment, and making the labs available to Ivy Tech’s adult students in the evenings.

However, the Region III-A representatives said that the Indiana Housing & C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t Authority, which is providing the funds through a C o m m u n i t y Development Block Grant, wanted a new resolution to note the changes. “It is not an indication of any increase, but rather it represents a decrease from last year,” he said of the resolution. “Quite frankly, they’re cleaning up their paper-

City increases fees for mowing lawns, weeding By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com It is going to cost homeowners more if crews from the City of Wabash are required to mow their lawns, pull

their weeds or take care of any other “rank vegetation” on their properties. The Wabash City Council, during its July 27 meeting, approved on first reading an ordinance increasing the

fee, from $15 to $50 per hour. The Council will consider final approval when it meets Aug. 10. Street Department Superintendent Scott Richardson broached the increase with city officials, City Attorney Doug Lehman told the Council. “If you stop and think about it, a lot of people can’t get that work done for any less than that, anyway, so they’ve got no incentive to take care of their own property,” Lehman said. In addition to the increase to a minimum charge of $50, the ordinance also contains a service

fee of $50 for each time it mows or hires a private contractor to mow the property. “The hope is that we will be charging enough that maybe they will be looking for other sources of maintenance for their yard, and with the idea that if not, then at least we’ll get money that’s more compensating for our workforce expenses and the wear and tear as far as our equipment goes,” Lehman said. “We are now maintaining more mowers than I think we have done in the past, and they are wearing out more quickly because of all of the vacant yards that we have to maintain.”

The city now mows yards at about 50 homes, and most of those are either vacant or in foreclosure. Council member Margaret “Boo” Salb asked if the city has success recouping any of the fees charged. “These are primarily vacant properties or abandoned properties,” Lehman said, and most have absentee landlords who often live out of state. “A lot of times they are properties that are in foreclosure and the property owner has basically walked away from the property. The mortgage company hasn’t been willing to step up and take care of the property that they are eventually going to get and eventually will try to sell.” The city does file liens on the property, he continued. “We do collect money through the tax sale, if they go to tax sale,” he continued. “If they do go to foreclosure, if we have a lien on the property I receive notice of the foreclosure, and I always file an answer. In the answer I assert the fact that our lien takes precedence over even the mortgage.”

Mortgage companies, Lehman believes, may begin to realize how much it is paying for maintenance of the properties and find someone other than the city to do it at a cheaper rate. “Obviously, there are a number of occasions where we don’t collect, especially if it ends up going to a Commissioners sale,” he said. “Our collection may be cents on the dollar, and very few cents on the dollar. But we do collect this money eventually, in many cases.” C l e rk - T re a s u re r Wendy Frazier told The Paper of Wabash County that funds collected for mowing properties are directed into the Street Department fund. Likewise, fees collected for late sewage fees are deposited in the city’s Sewage Department fund. Homeowners are given ample warning before the city begins mowing a property. “I have to send them a letter,” B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens said. “I give them, depending on what the situation is, five to ten days to get it mowed.

If they don’t, and we put it on the list, the Street Department takes over and mows at that point. We notify them to either get it mowed by that point, and if they don’t the city will take over and mow it and they will be billed for it.” What company has the mortgage also plays a factor on if the city must maintain the property, Lehman said. “If the mortgage is held by one of the local financial institutions, I believe we usually are able to get them to take care of the yard,” he said. “The problem is so many are held by absentee mortgage companies. “Quite frankly, they don’t really seam to care a whole lot. Until it does sell, nothing can be done until you can get them to own up to their responsibilities. Because they are out of state, they are very difficult to try any other means. “You can try to haul them into city court and do some other things. But if they’re from out of state, they can basically ignore you because we don’t have any authority to serve process out of state.”

Hopewell Foundation plans ice cream social By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

LAGRO – The Gene Stratton-Porter Hopewell Foundation will host its third annual ice cream social on Saturday, Aug. 15. The event will be from 4-7 p.m. at Hopewell Church, located northeast of Lagro, at the northeast corner of County Roads 500E and 300N. Ice cream will be available for a freewill offering. There will be free horse and wagon rides around the countryside StrattonPorter once played. The North Manchester Civic Band will perform at 4:45 p.m., and there will be a treasure hunt for children. Stratton-Porter was the 12th and last child born to Mary and Mark Stratton. Her father was pastor of the church, and members of the family, including her brother

Laddie, who drown in the Wabash River. The Foundation has been working to preserve the church for about four years. “One of our first projects was to have electricity installed,” according to Foundation President Carolyn Hegel. “We cleaned out the inside of the building and repaired the floor to be structurally sound.” The front doors were scrapped, repaired and painted by a neighborhood couple, she said, as was the vestibule walls. The group is seeking Historical Landmark designation. “This was to be considered in Indianapolis last Wednesday (July 22), but we have not received notification yet,” Hegel said. The church is an example of Gothic Revival church construction, according to the group’s applica-

tion to the United States Department of Interior for consideration to the National Register of Historic Places. “Built in 1872, the church is frontgabled, one room, onestory tall and has approximately 1900 square feet of finished space,” the application noted. A bell tower on the building’s west façade was built later, the application continued, however it is known to have been in existence in 1929. The Hopewell Cemetery surrounds the church on its north and east sides, and on the south side of County Road 300 N. The first person to be buried at the cemetery was Enoch Russell in 1849. The southern portion of the cemetery opened in 1908 with the burial of Sarah Abbott. “In general,” the application notes, “the earliest markers are nearest to the north and east sides

of the church. Throughout the cemetery, grave markers are mostly marble or granite and range in type from tablet to

obelisk to bevel. … Several of the older grave markers are now unreadable or have become broken, and there are a num-

ber of unattached markers being stored on the east side of the church.” Since taking over the building in 2013,

the site has also hosted a spaghetti supper, a Strawberry Festival and a special showing of the movie (continued on page 8)

★ HONORING OUR HEROES ★ First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your sponsorship. Our goal was to send 20 veterans and active duty personnel up in the helicopter for a free membership flight, but to my surprise, John Walker (co-founder of American Huey 369) said they would be taking each veteran and/or active duty personnel who registered for the drawing due to the enormous amount of sponsorships! We raised $19,286.00 from sponsorships, the gun raffle and the silent auction. All of this total was donated to American Huey 369, with $4800.00 covering the 48 memberships flights given away and the remainder of $14,466.00 going to the National American Huey History Museum!

Hopewell Foundation plans ice cream social... continued from page 7 “Laddie,” based on a book written by Stratton-Porter. “Plans are being

made for a plein air art event for area artists in October,” Hegel noted.

“Hopewell will be a beautiful setting when the leaves are beginning to turn.”

In the meanwhile, the Foundation has some more pressing needs. “Immediate projects are finding someone who will volunteer to help us set up a website and finding funding to purchase tables and chairs,” Hegel said. “It is a major expense for us to rent these items each time we have an event.” The Foundation, she said, is apprecia-

tive of the support it has received from the community. “We have appreciated the encouragement of the Wabash County community in helping us keep Gene’s spirit alive as she continues to be a role model for children in our area,” Hegel said. “It was the inspiration of Wabash County that made Gene the success she was.”

VIEWPOINT

Veteran comes “home again” Time for a change Dear Editor: I want to say how much I appreciate what Triple LLL owners Ryan and Melissa Long and the contributing businesses did for the heart of this veteran. When my brother, Roger, and I came home from oversees in 1966 and 1969, we were not greeted well. We veterans were greeted with “Welcome home, baby killers,” and the

attempted theft of duffle bags. When I reached shore off the ship, I kneeled down and kissed the asphalt. Then an army bus took us to the train station, where two punks tried to steal my duffle bag. When we picked up Roger in 1969 in Chicago when he returned from Vietnam, the airport had huge banners of “Baby Killers” over-

head. This, I believe, is the same case for many veterans who came home at that time. We shook it off and resumed our civilian lives, some better than others, while never seeming the same or “at home.” Ryan, Melissa, Huey 369 and the gracious businesses and individual sponsors really got to me. The Huey ride was awesome and gave

me an eyeful of what my brother, Roger, lived through as a gunner on a Huey. Video games and the news media in no way come close to portraying the danger that these brave soldiers had to live through as they boarded, flew and exited under gunfire. Thank you all so much. You have made me feel “home again.” – Robert Patterson, Lagro

Firm deserves praise

Dear Editor: I would like to thank Rick’s Auto. Workers there were very prompt answer-

ing an unusual service call. A small cat was stuck under the motor on a plastic

shield of my car. After removing a couple of bolts. The cat ran free. We could not catch it.

Thanks, again, for all you did. – Larry H a r r i n g t o n , Wabash

Dear Editor: I’ll begin with the definition of economics by ThorndikeBarnhart. Economic problem have to do with the production, distribution and consumption of wealth. The leadership direction has to be turned around, or this “ship of state” will not weather the storm. Gross National Production (GNP) is in the low single digits. The number should be five or six to provide the growth needed to create the jobs needed for the workforce. Domestic production has a tough time competing in the global market. The in many cases, unreasonable rules dicted by the EPA,

unfair tax laws, labor union demands, that can’t be met. The production s located in a more receptive location. China dumps a great many products that make our balance of trade tilted in its favor. The U.S. can’t complain because it owns $1.25 trillion of our shrinking value dollars. The business boom in China pushed up the value of its stock market. Millions of people borrowed capital to invest. That market has lost more than 30 percent of its value, and it won’t soon recover. Russia was OK, as long as crude oil and gas were high. Today oil sands, shale and new discoveries on

this side of the globe have dropped the price below production costs. Small and new businesses will limit hiring more than 50 employees because of increased insurance costs. Many businesses go to 30 hours week and cut the workforce to a part-time basis. The aging population makes it necessary to meet two generations of retirees, to one generation, working a job. The Federal Reserve has helped interest rates down to hold interest down on the more than $18 trillion in debt. We need a change. – Charles Signs, North Manchester

Here’s to a great school year Letters to the

It’s hard to believe, but classes for the 2015-16 school year begin on Friday in MSD of Wabash County and Wabash City Schools. Classes resume Tuesday, Aug. 11, at Manchester Community Schools. Where has the summer gone? It seems like just yesterday that graduating seniors in the Class of 2015 were walking across the stage, receiving their diplomas. The start of the new school year means that there will be more youngsters out and about at a time when we’re not used to it. It also means we have to be more cautious when driving in are near a school zone. We join with the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and the Indiana State Police in remindng drivers to be more alert and aware near schools, bus stops and places where children may walk or bicycle to or from school. Children may be especially likely to wander into streets in neighborhoods that don’t have sidewalks, Erickson said. He stressed that children aren’t good at judging vehicle speeds and therefore may attempt to cross streets too close to oncoming vehicles. Erickson said children listening to music from earphones may not be able to hear approaching vehicles, and also that children may become less aware of their surroundings when playing games on hand-held electronic devices. “A good idea at this time of year is to leave early for work, morning appointments or errands so you won’t feel rushed as more kids and school buses appear on your normalroute,” according to John Erickson, director of public information for the state’s homeland security agency. “Impatient or distracted drivers put children at risk.” When it comes to school buses, Indiana law is quite clear, said Capt. Dave Bursten, chief public information officer for the State Police. “When a bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, drivers coming from either direction must come to a full stop, and should not pass the bus until the warning lights are turned off and the stop arm is retracted,” Bursten said. On roadways divided by a physical barrier, only drivers heading in the same direction as a bus must stop. However, Bursten said, drivers should be alert and cautious at all times when school buses are on the road. Bursten noted that in addition to being alert

OUR VIEW near neighborhood bus stops and in school zones, drivers also need to be cautious on more remote rural roads, where children also get on and off buses. However, safety to and from school is not only the responsibility of the driver; it also is the responsibility of the youngsters walking to and from school. Parents need to stress to youngsters the importance of crossing at corners and not in the middle of the street. For parents whose students ride the bus, they also need to be reminded of some safety tips, such as: -- Stay at a safe distance from the street and don’t play around while waiting for the bus. -- Stay 10 giant steps away from the outside of the bus while the bus is pulling up so the driver can see you. -- Wait for the bus to stop completely before you move towards it to get on, or before you stand up to get off. -- Be cautious of clothing or backpacks with drawstrings, toggles, or key chains that can get caught on the bus handrails and doors. -- Hold the handrail going up and down the stairwell so you don’t trip. -- Find a seat and sit down as soon as you’re on the bus. -- Be courteous and respectful to your driver. Listen to directions. -- Don’t put your head, arms, papers or anything out the window. -- Don’t pick up anything you drop near the bus. The driver may not see you. Instead, ask the driver for help. -- Wait to cross the street until the driver lets you know it’s OK. -- Stay away from the bus wheels at all times the driver cannot see you there. To all the teachers, administrators and other faculty members, we wish you nothing but the best during this school year. To the students, we urge you to listen to your teachers, get your homework done in a prompt manner and to leave an adequate amount of time to study for tests. And one final reminder to parents, get involve in your child’s school career. Don’t leave it up to the teachers. Help your youngster in any way you can to have a successful year.

Access Youth Center heads Wabash City Alternative School... continued from the front page these two individuals are fantastic at building relationships.” Helm, who resigned as 85-Hope executive director on July 30, has been selected as the alternative school’s director. “At first I was completely floored and overwhelmed,” Helm said. “The more I think about it – it’s about two months since we’ve had the initial conversation – I’m just humbled and honored that they thought of me as capable of running this program.” The alternative school programming was designed to assist individuals who, for whatever reason be it work, pregnancy, discipline or health reasons, need to receive an education in a “different way,” Callahan said. “Most of it is online or through an online program called Apex (Learning),” he continued, “and we’ll also have some com-

munity service and some things that, like I said, will hopefully connect them with their community and become a little bit more involved.” The program is selfguided and only a temporary situation for most of the students, Callahan said. “Typically, students aren’t there for an extended period of time and so maybe a semester maybe two, but our hope is to always get them back into school,” he said. Helm said that she was excited about the program’s possibilities. “It excites me now to think about the possibilities of what could happen and what we can incorporate into their studies so that it’s more than just getting book skills,” she said, “but (also) being able to work on life skills, and goal settings, and do some community service and do some field trips and help

everybody realize what’s available here in the community.” Helm has an Indiana life license in teaching. She taught for 15 years before she went to seminary. Her parents and grandfather were also teachers and so she feels that she has teaching in her blood. “Since leaving teaching, I knew that was the right thing to do at the time, but very few days go by that I don’t miss the classroom and I don’t miss the interaction,” she said. “I just love teaching. I love being part of the process. I especially get excited with those ‘A-ha moments’ when all of a sudden it clicks. ‘Oh that’s what that means. Oh now it’s easier.’ That is just thrilling to be a part of that experience with kids, well, with anybody.” Helm said that the possibilities of what can happen and what will happen has been

overwhelming. “The administrators have given us a couple of examples of some programs here in the state that are considered some of the best alternative programs,” she said. “But the sky’s the limit. I’m scared to death and excited all the same.” Wabash City Schools has also allowed AYC to rename the program for the 2016-17 school year to incorporate “access” into the name, Helm said. “That word just reminds me of an allaccess pass to a concert or something like that,” she said. “That means that you can go anywhere. The more well rounded we can make for this experience for the kids, the more access they will have to the world; not just their community, but wherever they want to go and whatever they want to do.”

Martin Yale gets 10-year tax abatement... continued from the front page tract manufacturer for other companies that need our services.” Martin Yale has already partnered with a Michigan company to help it because it “has way more work than it could handle. We started that project and the investments we are making will eventually take us in another direction all together,” he said. “We’ll be a stronger company in the long run.” German joined Martin Yale nine years ago as its Vice President for Marketing, eventually becoming Vice President for Sales. Four years ago he became President and last year joined forces with an equity group to purchase the company. “I saw the potential for us that we didn’t have when we were owned by Escalade,” he told the Council. “Quite frankly, Escalade did not want to invest in us. I saw the strength of the company and the need to invest. I now have partners willing to invest.” Gillenwater said he urges companies to explore other potentials. “It’s always a challenge to get companies to realize not what are you making, but what your full competency is,” he said. “What skills do you have that are transferrable to other products as the market matures in what you are doing? “Without my help, they figured out what that was.” Council member Joan Haag asked if the number of new employees might eventually increase from two? “Since we applied and pulled the trigger on this … we have three employees hired, and I would like to see more than that as we grow,” German said. “We’re only dealing with one outside company today. As we pick up more companies, we’ll pick up more employees.

“I’ve always had a vision for Martin Yale … we do very well with one shift. But we have two other shifts we don’t use. I’d love to be forced to add a second shift. I’d love to be forced to add a third shift. “We’re a long way away from that. But that’s my vision.” The Council unanimously approved the request, which had previously been approved by the city’s Incentive Review Authority.

The Wabash River Defenders “chowed” down at a community picnic on the banks of the river at Paradise Springs Park on Saturday July 25 in place of their “Clean Out the Banks” event. The defenders welcomed new and past members as well as the general public to its picnic to spread the word and learn more about the Wabash River Defenders organization’s purpose and future plans with the Wabash River. The attending members gathered for a commemorative group photo before spending the afternoon playing corn hole, competing in tug-of-war and throwing around Frisbees. Board members Keith Poole and Mike Beauchamp honored committee members (from left) Steve Johnson and Jen Rankin as “Tall Sycamore(s) of the Wabash” for their continuous support and drive to extend the organization’s educational and governmental outreaches.

The Wabash County Christmas Spirit Committee hosted a day of painting, bouncing, games and prizes at the Sandals & Sleighbells Festival on July 17 and 18. The festival served to raise money for the organization and provide an opportunity for families to sign-up for Wabash County Christmas Spirit, a program that donates Christmas gifts to children of families in need. The festival shut down Market Street and Miami Street to feature vendors from throughout the community and make room for several bounce houses for the children to play in. Kids also had the opportunity to paint ornaments to hang on the festival’s Christmas tree. The committee also named Leven Indrutz, 4, and Kara Freeman, 6, the festival’s Snowflake Prince and Princess. The two participated in the festival by helping select the winners of the Wreath Contest. Committee president Emily Gardner told The Paper of Wabash County in an interview following the festival that the committee was pleased with the number of families and vendors who participated in this year’s festival. “The Wabash County Christmas Spirit committee is extremely happy with the success of our first annual Sandals & Sleighbells Festival,” she said. “The families that attended made memories with each other than will last a lifetime. We were able to raise funds for this year’s Wabash County Christmas Spirit to assist with the purchase of gifts for children.” Photos by Emma Rausch

Denney notches hole-in-one By Gary Andrews

Sunday during the Wabash Football Boosters Scramble, Ryan Denney scored a Hole in One on the 157 yard 15th hole at Honeywell Golf Course. It was only the second hole of the day for Denney and he was able to perfectly strike a wedge into the cup.

It is Denney’s first hole in one and by doing so wins a five day/four night cruise for two people compliments of Brandt’s Harley Davidson. His accomplishment was witnessed by Sam Hipskind as the course observer, and his playing partners Zach Wenrich, Ken Steward, and Nick Hentgen.

By Bill Barrows Recently, I connected my high school class reunion here in Wabash with a YMCA staff picnic and a road trip to North Carolina to spend time with my g r a n d k i d s . Unfortunately, my lovely bride had business commitments and wasn’t able to be a part of the experience this time around. She was kept informed through text, phone calls and pictures. What follows is what I learned from both direct and indirect contact with people, that was pretty interesting to me. I learned after all of these years, that the core group of guys that I ran around with in high school are still among the people that I am the most comfortable with. I also learned that one of my classmates who I didn’t know well and had little in common, heard that I’ve coached baseball for 30-plus years, has a son who played baseball and she became something that she didn’t know existed— —a baseball mom. She is proud to be an avid baseball fan to this day. I learned that several of my colleagues at the Y are pretty good at making some yummy picnic fare. Nothing fancy, just outstanding traditional dishes of baked beans, Mac & Cheese and pasta salad. To my surprise, I learned that our oldest grandson, Jackson, who I took with me on our road trip to North Carolina, is a pop music fan that can sing all of the current hits. He likes (among others) a song called “Cheerleader.” It has a line that goes, “I think I found myself a cheerleader, who’s always there when I need her.” I’m hoping that he is referring to his grandma, his mom or one of his aunts, at least for now.

Along those same lines, our 3-year-old grandson, Cameron’s favorite song is called, “Shut Up and Dance with Me!” When it comes on, he immediately starts singing and wants his mommy to dance with him. I learned that when our only granddaughter Emmy, who is 6 months old smiles, it transcends three generations back to her great grandmother (my mother). It is the same smile that I saw from as far back as I can remember. I learned that both of our grandsons are avid Lego fans. And both are building impressive inventories. Cameron is a big fan of race cars, firefighters and policemen. Jackson is into Marvel Comics Super Heroes and Ninjago. I learned something that I actually already knew. That grandpa is the ideal hero of any grandchild, if you will read to them until they are too tired to keep their eyes open. I learned that my daughter is a pro at multi-tasking in dealing with everyday routines and things that come up randomly no matter how urgent. I learned the new law that states that on the interstate slower traffic must move to the right lane still doesn’t apply to a lot of motorists, to my dismay. I also learned that I’m a lot more patient in traffic when I have Jackson as my co-pilot. I learned that my co-pilot can calculate mileage and arrival times without a blink of an eye. I learned that Jackson is an expert on Minecraft, observes traffic more than I suspected and that conversing with him over the bulk of two days during our road trip, he actually doesn’t need to have his nose stuck in a video game console, contrary to popular belief. That is a positive. Listening and watching him interact for a week, reinforces that he acts and talks a lot like his grandfather……I’m not sure that that is as much a positive as first thought. And ultimately, I learned that my bed is much more comfortable than any along the trip.

NM Center for History plans FunFest events By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — The Center for History will offer free admission on Friday, Aug. 7, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 8, from 100 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the annual FunFest by the River. Visitors to the Center will notice the removal of its Center’s façade. The Historical Society is currently working with architects to assess what needs to be done and how much it will cost. Visitors can see the 1920’s brick and masonry work that will be restored to its former beauty.

Visitors who have not come to the Center for the past few months will see many new displays and upgraded former exhibits. The Center features a new exhibit on prehistory and early settlers, including information on glaciers, mastodon bones, stone artifacts that are thousands of years old, and a sampling of animals the early settlers found here. Also on display are 23 delightful detailed miniature wagons and their hitches that Don Bechtold has loaned to the museum. The models include everything from circus wagons to

farm vehicles, each with accurate scale model horses and liveries. Nine are in the front windows, the rest inside. On Friday evening from 6 to 8 p.m., Wabash County Historian Ron Woodward will sign copies of his new book, Hidden History of Wabash County, Indiana. This book follows up on Woodward’s prior popular offering, with more unusual and unique tales that are often overlooked. Last year, the Center provided younger visitors with a scavenger hunt; students and their families had a lot of fun

completing it together. Building on that success, this year a different hunt has been prepared based on our new exhibits. To challenge other visitors, an adult scavenger hunt has also been created. During Funfest, visitors can also see the Indiana Historical Society’s travelling exhibit, “Hoosiers and Their Hooch: Perspectives on Prohibition.” The

exhibit will be in town through Aug. 31. The exhibit includes the early years of the temperance era, the roaring ‘20s, and the eventual repeal of the constitutional amendment. The exhibit also covers prohibition’s effect on the United States for years afterward. The Center for History will present three films continuously throughout the day; “The Building of

the Peabody Mansion,” “See Yourself in the Movies 1938,” and “The Moving of the Thomas Marshall House.” The Thomas Marshall House will also be open to the public with free admission on Saturday, Aug. 8, from 1 to 4 p.m. Located on Market Street next to the public library, the Thomas Marshall House is the birth-

place of former Indiana Governor and Vice President of the United States Thomas R. Marshall. The house has been restored to its original 1852 condition, with artifacts from the era furnishing its interior. Docents will be available to provide tours and answer questions about Thomas Marshall and his family.

Gallimores receive Habitat home

...continued from the front page

person, according to Miller. “This (new home) will help bring down their housing costs.” “To have a yard for our son to play in, to have a room to actually play in, that means a lot,” Gallimore said. The home’s low maintenance fea-

tures, including a steel roof and stone in the flowerbeds instead of mulch, will help the family reduce their housing costs, Miller said. While the organization is typically known for building homes, the Gallimores’ new home is “special,”

Miller said during the ceremony. “In Habitat land, this is what’s called a ‘recycled house’ and what that means it was originally built as a Habitat home for a Habitat partner,” Miller said. “And, yes, sometimes Habitat’s just like banks because our

homeowners do have a mortgage, they do pay for the home, sometimes we do get them back in an unfortunate way. “But this one was different.” The home was originally built in 1992 for Wabash native Jennifer Miller, her husband and her children. After her children had grown and gone, Mrs. Miller’s husband received a job offer in New York. Habitat for Humanity is a “Christian ministry, a social service agency, a construction company and a mortgage company all rolled into one,” Miller said. Through Habitat’s program, Mrs. Miller had the option

of selling her home to pay off the rest of her mortgage and receive additional funds “to make a nice nest egg to start a new life,” Miller said. “Instead, she turned to me and she said, ‘Steven this house was a blessing to my family and my children as they were growing up. I would like to give it back and have you make it a blessing for another family,’” he continued, slightly choking up. “But that meant a lot and to think of somebody who could have had the opportunity to have a nice nest egg like I said, but it was such a blessing that she wanted to turn around and pass the blessing forward,

like I said.” The Gallimores decided to apply for the Habitat program after witnessing Mrs. Gallimore’s mother and sister’s testimonies as Habitat homeowners. However, Gallimore did admit that it did take some pride at first to apply. “(Habitat for Humanity) is not a hand-out, but as a man it almost makes you feel a little degraded to ask for help,” he said. “But after it was all done and over with, I was very excited that I just sucked it up and decided to go with it.” In an interview following the ceremony, Miller said that it does take a lot of pride to ask for help,

but the homeowners build so much more afterward. The Gallimores said they took the greatest pride in expanding the living room and kitchen space. “Everybody that’s helped, all the board members that have come through, just all the volunteers and everything about (Habitat for Humanity) is a fun process,” Gallimore said. “I know I had a lot of fun doing a lot of different things and learning all the new things that comes with building a house. I would absolutely recommend this program to another person … especially if they were looking to better themselves.”

FunFest 2015 to begin on Aug. 5 By Shaun Tilghman news@thepaperofwabash.com The North Manchester community is just days from one of its most celebrated traditions, the annual FunFest By The River event, which will take place from Wednesday, Aug. 5, through Sunday, Aug. 9, this year. In addition to the traditional activities, the festival has added a number of new activities and contests to the schedule this year. New Events “This year, not only do we have Powder Puff Football and the Bon Fire on Wednesday, which we started last year,” said Laura Rager, Chamber of Commerce executive director, “but we’ve also added another new event called Trivia Night, which will be hosted at Zook’s Café. “The Wabash County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, who are new sponsors

for us this year, provided prize money for that event, and it will be a great opportunity for Zook’s because they’ve done a lot of remodeling and they recently obtained their liquor license. Trivia Night will be for teams of up to five people, and you pay an entry fee of $5, but the prize for first place is $150.” The festival will also be featuring live bands that will play Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, Rager continued, starting with the Wabatucky Shooters on Thursday. “Another new event this year is the Pie Eating Contest, which was a very popular addition to the Timbercrest Summer Festival this year,” She said. “NewMarket agreed to sponsor that event and will provide all the pies.” Rager went on to say that they have also expanded on the contest previously known as the “Pie Bake Off.” Beginning

this year, the contest has been renamed “The Dessert Bake Off.” Other Changes The festival is also undergoing several changes this year, including the relocation of carnival rides from Walnut Street to Main Street. Also, there will be no Tennis Tournament in FunFest this year. “In accordance with a request from the State Fire Marshal, we had to relocate the Carnival Rides from Walnut Street to Main Street (between Market and Front streets),” Rager explained. “So, downtown Main Street is considered closed from Wednesday at 8 a.m. until Sunday at noon. “The municipal parking lot will also be closed during that time in order to accommodate the support vehicles and generators for the rides. However, for people wanting to get downtown on Wednesday or Thursday, you will still be able to park in

front of businesses on Main Street, but you will not be able to drive any further west than Market Street.” Trolley Rides FunFest 2015 will also mark the inaugural appearance of Wabash County Trolley No. 85. “This is the first year the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau has had the Trolley, and they make it available to the Town of North Manchester at no charge – other than paying for the driver,” Rager added. The trolley will be following one route on Friday and a different route on Saturday, she continued. “The route on Saturday will be larger because it incorporates the Covered Bridge and Farmers’ Market,” Rager said. “The idea on Friday is that the Trolley will help transport people to the activities after they’ve parked their cars. So, there are designated stops where the Trolley will be picking up and dropping off in order to

Access distributes school supplies By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

About 500 backpacks filled with school supplies were d i s t r i b u t e d Thursday and Friday, July 30-31, at The Access Youth Center in downtown Wabash. The backpacks were available to any family in Wabash wishing to receive one, and were broken down to pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school. “It’s been tremendous,” AYC Director Liz Hobbs told The Paper of Wabash County following Friday’s distribution. “The volunteers and just the community as a whole have served well. It’s just been great. “It’s good for the soul.” In addition to receiving the backpacks, youngsters also received ear buds or earphones for use with their school computers. High school students also received packages with personal hygiene items in it. School begins

in his first year in the position, has never been to FunFest, but he is very excited to change that this year. “In listening to folks that either work for the Town or are on different committees, I see and hear about all the time and effort that these volunteers are putting into this, and I couldn’t even imagine how many people have their hands in this in order to make it happen,” Schoeff said. “First off, it’s impressive to me that all these people come together and make such a nice festival,” he continued. “That’s a great thing for the community. Secondly, I’m kind of excited to see how many people it brings into town, because I’ve heard it brings quite a few, which is a testament to the community and how attractive we are to outside people.

get to go enjoy it Wednesday through Sunday don’t really think about it once it’s gone. “I’m sure a lot of the committees involved don’t take much more than a month off before they’re right back to thinking about next year’s event. By this time of year they’re really hitting it hard and putting in long hours to make it all come together, so we should thank them all because I’ve heard it’s pretty impressive.” Many would agree with Schoeff in classifying the five-day festivities of FunFest as impressive, but Rager said she is also aware that maybe there are people that don’t embrace FunFest like the rest of the community. “While there are some inconveniences that come with FunFest, there is a lot of good that results from FunFest for numerous organizations in this town,” she said. “Manchester Early Learning Center has had a booth for years to help raise money, and obviously they’re in the middle of an active campaign right now for their building fund. Clubs such as Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions and also a lot of local churches are afforded a unique opportunity to raise money during FunFest so that they can continue to carry out their good works throughout the year.”

NOTICE VETERANS Coffee and Snack date has been change for August. It is going to be Aug. 22 at 9 a.m., LaFontaine Community Building. Please mark your calendar for Aug. 22. This is a change from the date that was stated at the July Coffee and Snack. TICKETS ARE on sale now for the LIFE Center’s annual banquet, on Thursday Sept. 10 at the Honeywell Center. Doors open at 6 pm. This year’s theme is “Be a Hero for Life” and will feature guest s p e a ke r / c o m e d i a n Brad Stine. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at LIFE Center or from LIFE Center staff and board members. If you would like to host a table of eight, please contact the center. Stine is the most media covered Christian comedian in the country. He has an 8page profile written about him and his comedy in the New Yorker magazine where he was referred to as “Frantic, aggressive, and caustic with echoes of Robin Williams, Sam Kinison, and George Carlin.” L A F O N TA I N E LIONS met on Thursday, July 23, at 7 p.m. with Lion Kim Polk as host. Lion President Tom Polk open the meeting with prayer and Lion Jerry Wilson led the Pledge of Allegiance. Secretary and treasure reports were read and approved. Discuss about 1812, if it would be held or not. Lion Tom Rody stated that he would be attending a meeting on Monday, July 27, about 1812. Lion Jerry Wilson brought up that the Veterans were short some money to pay for everything. Lions voted “that if the veterans came up short that the Lions would gave them up to $1,000 to finish the project.” Several members are to see about getting quotes on fixing or replacing the air conditioner in the big hall,

because it is not working right and are unable to get parts for it. Discussion about replacing the lights in the big hall and the kitchen to more efficient lighting to save money took place. It was announced that the LaFontaine Community Building on January 2016 will no longer be a part of United Fund. This is due to United Fund Board cutting the allotment so much that it is not beneficial to be a part of this group. They have cut the amount the last several years, because they are giving more money to projects and not buildings. LaFontaine Lions club will take all this project on and not just in a supporting role as they have done in the past. With the community support of the LaFontaine Lions, the LaFontaine Community Building will continue to be here for the community to use. Next meeting the members will discuss and approve the budget for Lion’s year 2015-2016. The board members of 1812 are planning on making a decision whether to cancel or not by the end of Aug. Next LaFontaine Lions meeting will be on Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. in the Lion room at the LaFontaine Community Building. M I S S I S S I N E WA VALLEY BAND is embarking on a new adventure, The Mississinewa Valley Choir.

Manchester trustee honored with service award From the Manchester University News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — Eugene F. Roop, a member of the Manchester University Board of Trustees, was presented with the Manchester University C h u r c h - U n iv e r s i t y Service Award at the Church of the Brethren Annual Conference in Tampa, Fla. The award was presented by MU President Dave McFadden and Walt Wiltschek, campus pastor. “Eugene F. Roop has perhaps been for the Church of the Brethren what the train conductor was for the Polar Express: someone who has kept everything pointed in the right direction and on track and helping a lot of people in their belief along the way,” the citation said. An Anderson native, Roop is best known in

the church for his 15year tenure as president of Bethany Theological Seminary in Richmond, a position from which he retired in 2007, and for his biblical scholarship and various commentaries and other publications. An ordained minister, Roop has pastored congregations in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Indiana, and served on a variety of church agency and community-related boards. He holds a doctorate from Claremont Graduate University, a Master of Divinity from Bethany and a bachelor of science from Manchester as part of the Class of 1964. He was also awarded an honorary doctorate from Manchester in 2001.

Wabash area students had the opportunity to experience robots firsthand last week at Heartland Career Center’s summer robotics camp. The students, grades 10 through 12,

designed and built robots able to do tasks such as carrying objects and playing soccer. While they worked from a VEX Robotics kit, electronics and computer technology instructor Doug Shannon said the students were able to make a few modifications outside of the instructions. Kyle Denniston said he was interested right away when his dad showed him the flyer for the program included with his report card. “Who wouldn’t want a robot?” he said. Shannon said the class was a lot of fun for both him and the students while still doing something educational. The students put their robots to the test by playing games with them, he said, and they have to figure out how to fix the problems they see while trying to compete. Teaching the students how to problem solve is key for Shannon, he said. “I think problem solving is what you do all your life no matter what you’re doing,” (continued on page 29)

Heartland holds summer robotics camp... continued from page 28 Shannon said. After spending a week with the robots, Ariston Trusty, a sophomore at Emmanuel Christian School, said he plans to continue tinkering whether he decides to keep up a hobby or pursue a career in the field. Heartland Career Center Director Mark Hobbs said he hopes the camp will inspire students to continue their education at Heartland and then go on after high school to Ivy Tech Community College’s Kokomo Region, the camp’s sponsor. “We’re working to provide some opportunities for students in the area of advanced manufacturing,” he said. “We could have tried to offer something in welding or precision machining, but robotics, it’s kind of a hot area right now.”

important in a major manufacturing state like Indiana, Hughes said. The workforce is expecting large decreases in size as the current workers reach retirement, she said, so companies are going to need “a pipeline of skilled workers.” Hughes said Ivy Tech hopes to create that pipeline. ITEP also connects students to employers in the region for the opportunity to experience a real workplace. Students participating in Heartland’s robotics camp got to tour Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ transmission plant in Tipton, Ind. Hughes said the plant is heavily automated so students got to see how “what they learned applies to the world of work.” Using grant money, Ivy Tech’s sponsorship allowed the summer camp to be free

for any students willing to participate. The camp might have cost up to $500 for the week without any grants, Hughes said. “We want to make sure that people who might not be able to afford an opportunity

like this will still be able to participate,” she said. “It’s very important we utilize these grants to give these kids an experience that might help them make a decision about their careers in the future.”

Arc, Special Olympics receive donations By The Paper staff Arc of Wabash County and Wabash County Special Olympics each received $5,000 on Thursday, July 30, proceeds from the fifth annual Charity Jam, which took place June 27. Charity Jam is an afternoon of music, food and fun sponsored by the fraternal organizations around Wabash. Arc Executive Director Nancy Hoffman and Doug Adams, Wabash County Special Olympics coordinator, were both thankful for the funding. “It’s allowed us to fund all kinds of things that we’re not funded for typically,” Hoffman said. “It’s provided some match money for grants needed for new equipment and supplies. “It’s just a wonderful event. We’re so thankful.” Adams said, “It is a very major portion of our budget. A key thing is it makes the community aware of our Special Olympic atheletes. “And one of the cool things about it is we have the fraternal organizations and other facilities in Wabash being involved in it. It’s a communitywide effort for our two organizations, which is fantastic.”

Laketon sewer work nearly done... continued from the front page she said, when raw sewage began backing up into the streets. “As the tiles were breaking down, obviously the sewage had nowhere to go,” she continued. “It’s been quite a long journey. The problem was first noticed in 2003, and the district board began meeting in 2004 to solve the problem. “We were given two options when this started,” said Stan Bagley, president of the district board. “Two of them were to put in an affordable system and get the raw sewage out of the river and lakes.” The third was to work out a “new process” of handling the raw sewage. The project, at times, faced some dif-

ficulties. “If you look at Laketon, and a lot of our small communities, lot sizes are an issue when putting in a full-size septic replacement,” Scott said. “Not wanting families to lose their homes, we had to look outside for a better solution that would hopefully help the community grow.” But just as there were problems in the beginning, the work has given some hope. “Laketon is no longer restricted by the area,” Scott noted. “They can build new houses there. They can connect into this new infrastructure that is coming. “Hopefully it’s a revitalization project for the community as

a whole.” Just as the work on the current system is beginning, officials see a need to expand the district. The July 27 appearance before Commissioners also served as a notice to them of the need to increase the size. “What the expansion entails is that what we’re hoping for is to move the (boundary) line a little more to the south,” Scott said. “There’s a group of homes there off of Lukens Lake Road that were not included in the first district line. “I’m not 100 percent sure how that first line was drawn. But one of the members who live on the road is starting to have a septic failure.”

Rather than piecemeal the line, officials from the district board and the Health Department believe it is better to increase the size of the entire line. The new boundary would involve about 10 homes, Bagley said. Scott added that homeowners in the proposed expansion would be able to opt out of the plans, should they wish. “If that line does get moved, I would expect conversations with homeowners,” she said. “We have told everyone the whole time, if you can have a septic system inspection and prove that you’re up to code and not leaking, we would be willing to speak to you about the

possibility of being exempt.” Commissioners u n a n i m o u s l y approved expanding the boundary, but that is just the first step in the process. The change must also be approved by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, and the U.S. Department of

Agriculture, which provided funding for the initial work, will have to determine if the plan is cost effective, Bagley said, adding he didn’t know how long that might take. “I expect (approval) may take months,” Scott added. In the meantime, the first phase is close to being finished.

“The main infrastructure is done,” Scott said. “That’s stage one. “The next stage is going from house-tohouse and getting the connections.” Bagley added, “It will be up to the county to support us to get them hooked up. If the county doesn’t support us, then we will fail.”

Local Board of Health passes proposal, hopes to fix grant problem By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Board of Health unanimously agreed on a $39,961.49 proposal at its quarterly meeting on Tuesday, July 28, as a step toward unfreezing its Local Health Maintenance Fund (LHMF). The fund was frozen by the Indiana State Department of Health after the Feb. 23 Wabash County Council meeting wherein the council voted to transfer $104,821.43 from the LHMF to the County Health Fund in attempts to assist the local health department’s financial needs. Due a disagreement between the County Council and local board of health on the amount of the transfer, the state froze the

funds following the February meeting until an agreement can be met. “Ultimately, everybody involved has got to agree on a number and ultimately it’s the state that gets the final say and approval,” said Dr. Jeffrey Pyle, board president. At the last executive board meeting, Pyle said, the board had agreed on a proposal of $75,000. However, when the board offered it to the state for approval, the proposal was shot down. “We said, ‘Well why not,’” Pyle continued, “because they had told us before was ‘Well, whatever your board decides you want to do, if you’re all happy with that and the council is happy with it, then we’re under the impression that the state is happy with it.’” The state’s decision

changed, Pyle said, and now the board must follow a formula to decide how much of the funds will be transferred. The formula, which is vaccine revenue income minus vaccine cost, medical supplies cost and 1/4 of the nurse’s salary and benefits over the last nine years, totaled in a positive balance of $39,961.49 and is the state’s “final deal,” according to Pyle. County Council chairman Mike Ridenour, who was present at the board’s meeting, said, “I’m not going to lie, it’s a number that … I can’t imagine that anybody is just going to fall over themselves about, but at least it’s a starting point and it needs to come to the table. “We need to handle it and move forward.”

KOKOMO — Members of the Ibn Saud Grotto, a fraternal organization in Kokomo, have pledged $10,000 to establish the Ibn Saud Grotto Scholarship for students in the dental assisting program at Ivy Tech Community College. The new scholarship program is part of the Ibn Saud Grotto’s ongoing commitment to provide much-needed dental care to children with special needs, the focus of the Humanitarian Foundation of the Grottoes of North America, an umbrella group for the organization that is an offshoot of the Masonic Order. “As part of the Grottoes of North America, the member-

ship of Ibn Saud Grotto has embraced the Humanitarian Foundation’s belief that children with special needs should live as fully and as independently as possible,” said Don Warnock, monarch of the Kokomo organization. “We are committed to helping to alleviate the suffering and to improve the quality of life by providing dental care for those who otherwise may go without – ‘one smile at a time.’” Ibn Saud Grotto has pledged to complete funding to allow $500 scholarships to be awarded starting with the fall semester of 2018. To qualify for the scholarship, applicants must be a resident of Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Tipton or Wabash counties, and must have completed at

least 15 hours in the Dental Assisting program at an Ivy Tech site within the Kokomo Region with a minimum 3.0 grade point average. Ivy Tech has offered the dental assisting program at its Kokomo campus for 12 years. Designed to respond to needs of local dentists, the program consists of two semesters and one summer session and includes lecture and laboratory instruction as well as supervised experience with dental professional and patients in the clinic setting. The program has limited enrollment of 24 qualified students per year, as required by its accreditation by the American Dental A s s o c i a t i o n Commission on Dental Accreditation.
