Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Local bowlers raise $4,000-plus at Chili Bowl By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The annual Chili Bowl raised $4,337 at the Wabash Cannon Ball Lanes bowling alley on Saturday, Jan. 30, doubling the funds raised at last year’s event, according to officials. Seventeen teams joined this year’s event to raise funds for the Wabash Chili for Charity Chili CookOff in October, according to Wade Weaver, bowl-athon event founder. “It’s called the Chili Bowl and that was Wade’s idea as a way to stimulate donations for the main event in October,” Chili Cook-Off committee member Marc Shelley said. “And to remind people during the year about the event,” Cook-Off committee member Robert McCallen III added, “because we sometimes spend money during the year between events to help people in Wabash County and this kind of brings it back up in early spring and reminds everybody it’s coming up and they love it.” The event originally began as a fundraiser to

assist a local family with medical costs before becoming an extension of the Chili Cook-Off several years later. “I thought, ‘You know what, instead of bowling one team against another team, why don’t we just fill the lanes and just get seed money for the Chili Cook-Off ’ because we usually try to spend all of it,” Weaver told The Paper of Wabash County. “We have insurance costs and we have T-shirt costs before the big event and most of our money comes the day of the Chili Cook-Off. “So we just thought the weekend before the Super Bowl, when there’s not a whole lot going on, that Saturday every year we’ve had a bowl off.” Since it’s creation in 2005, the event has hosted on average 16 to 17 teams and raised more than $2,000 each year, he continued. “Each team is asked to pay the fees to bowl,” Weaver said. “Cannon Ball Lanes gives us a great break on everybody bowling free games and they rent shoes free and all that stuff and they usually (continued on page 10)

The Indiana Department of Education released the 2015 school accountability grades on Tuesday, Jan. 26. However, the records show no local school corporation has improved since 2014, but scores haven’t dropped either. The grades are based off of the Indiana’s standardized assessment, the ISTEP exam. In 2015, late changes made to the exam as well as problems with distributing the exam led to big drops in student scores and caused discord among state and local educators. On Thursday, Jan. 21, Gov. Mike Pence signed Senate Bill 200 into effect. The bill “provides that a school’s or school corporation’s category or designation of performance for the 2014-2015 school year may not be lower than the grade assigned … by the state board of education for the 2013-2014 school year” and that it may only improve, according to the bill. The county schools reported the following accountabili(continued on page 16)

Pyle resigns from County Health Board By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Dr. Jeffrey Pyle resigned from the Wabash County Health Board on Tuesday, Jan. 26. After serving on the Board for 17 years, Pyle wrote that “I can no longer associate myself with the Wabash County government” in his resignation letter to the Wabash County Commissioners. Commissioner chairman Barry Eppley told The Paper of Wabash County that Pyle’s resignation was not a surprise. “I thank Dr. Pyle for his years of service to the Health Board and wish him well in future endeavors,” Eppley (continued on page 22)

Bill would impact local family farm By Shaun Tilghman news@nmpaper.com

A measure prohibiting farms from selling food directly to restaurants was expected to be considered on Monday in the Indiana House of Representatives. The measure would impact the work of the J.J. Hawkins Family Farm in North Manchester, according to Jeff and Zach Hawkins. The two were in Indianapolis the last several weeks, testifying before the House Committee on agriculture and Rural Development. The committee passed House Bill 1267 last week and it

was scheduled for a second reading before the full House on Monday. In addition, they spoke before the Wabash County Council on Jan. 25, prior to the Council taking a stand on behalf of the local business. Wabash County Commissioners passed a similar measure earlier in the day. The resolution noted that the two pieces of legislation “will have a significant negative impact on certain persons within Wabash County, and will do nothing to safeguard further the public health, t promote further the public welfare, or to improve oversight for food safety.”

“It’s been something of a surprise to us that we’ve been challenged in this way because we followed all the rules and so forth.”

-- Jeff Hawkins, Hawkins Family Farm It goes on to note the council opposes “any proposed legislation which seeks to prohibit the sale of poultry to food establishments by persons whose operations are currently exempt from antemortem and postmortem inspections of poultry.” The Hawkins family is in midst of an ongoing battle in opposition of proposed legislation (Senate Bill 71 and House Bill

1267) that would prohibit farms operating under a USDA “grant of exemption” from selling their poultry directly to restaurants. During the Wabash County Council meeting on Jan. 25, the Hawkinses provided the council with details regarding their current situation, as well as details (continued on page 21)

NM Council to consider several items By The Paper staff

NORTH MANCHESTER – Several items are up for consideration when the Town Council meets Feb. 3. At its January meeting, Town Manager Dave Schoeff presented a position description that would combine three current positions into one. Under this plan, the building commissioner, building inspector, and code enforcement positions would be consolidated, with the council seeking one individual to fulfill all the duties involved. Currently these three jobs are part-time.

The new position is proposed to also be part-time. The Council is expected to consider the proposal when it meets.. The town’s street and storm water departments will be asking to purchase a refurbished street sweeper. The current sweeper, which not only keeps curb areas clean, also helps to keep debris out of the town’s sewers. The town now has a sweeper that is 14 years old and is in deteriorating condition. The departments are not proposing to buy a new sweeper, but have

found a suitable refurbished unit at a substantial cost savings over new. Also on the agenda is consideration of a contract with consultants Jones and Henry. This firm has provided services for the town for a recent project with the wastewater department and will perhaps be asked to provide additional services in the future. The contract to be considered sets out the rates of pay for any additional services that might be requested but does not prohibit the town

from contracting with other consultants. In what has become an annual consideration, Manchester Main Street is asking the council to allow the closing of the Eel River Gardens parking lot on Sept. 8-9 for the Eel River Arts Festival to again take place at that location. Council will also consider recommendations for the renewal of appointments or the replacement of various positions on several boards and commissions due to the expiration of current terms. Prior to its regular

meeting, the council will meet as a Board of Public Safety at 6:15 p.m. to hear an update regarding a house that was previously condemned but the council gave the owner a period of time to repair the structure. Carrie Mugford, Clerk-Treasurer, will update the council regarding the 2016 budget. The formal budget order has been received from the State of Indiana with no changes to what was proposed by Mugford and approved by council in September.

Anyone who has a thought, idea, question or complaint must turn that in to the town clerk or a board member on or before Wednesday before the second Monday night of the month. These will be compiled on Thursday morning and in the council member’s hands by Thursday evening. This way the council has knowledge of and hopefully a resolution for it at the council meeting on Monday night.

Here is the list of what is schedule so far: Charley Creek Band, tractor show, kiddie tractor pull, tug of war, smoke house, corn hole, parade. We hope to have Karaoke again this year. We could use anyone who would be willing to serve on this committee. SOMERSET: With the recent high winds and storms officials have noticed shingles around two of the buildings the board maintains. Lowell Shelton reports the fire station lost a number of shingles and will need a roof soon. The Town Board had discussed a new roof for the Community Building during the last two meetings. The board has filed a claim with our insurance company on both roofs and need to see what they find. The first

decision will be whether to use shingles or replace with a steel roof ? Then the board needs to determine how to pay for the roofs. This will require assistance from the entire community. We have mentioned the Fire Station is a great money saver for anyone who buys homeowners insurance in Somerset, Francis Slocum Estates, Vernon and the surrounding rural residences. We will consider fund raisers such as meals, raffles and door to door solicitation. If you have any ideas on how we could pay for these repairs, please share them with board members. BIG CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Michael Law, son of Valarie and Todd Law, who was accepted into the School of Architecture at Ball State University.

Sports etiquette is really nothing more than showing the same consideration to the people around you that you expect yourself. In the sport of tennis you call your opponents shot in or out. I expect my opponent to make ethical calls to the best of their ability because I expect nothing less of me regarding calling their shots in or out. The etiquette of the sport requires that any doubt goes in favor of your opponent. That concept would be best adhered in life situations too!” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Ribbon cutting marks Livelihood Computers grand opening By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

L i v e l i h o o d Computers celebrated its grand opening in Wabash on Wednesday, Jan. 27, with a ceremonious ribbon cutting with representatives of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. Storeowner Adam Lively, a North Manchester resident and Ivy Tech Wabash Campus graduate, started the computer-

maintenance store on Jan. 4. He decided to open the store last year after getting engaged to his girlfriend, Jennifer Hipsher, and saw a need for his expertise in Wabash. “I get a lot of joy out of what I’ve been doing on my own with helping people and friends,” Lively told The Paper of Wabash County. “I thought, ‘Well, I need to start thinking about getting a full time job since I got engaged recently’ and so I

thought I’d invest some of my time and money with opening a store. “I saw there was one (store) here before and it had to leave due to some unfortunate events,” he continued. “I knew that it was still doing quite well and I thought that I could fill that gap there and do it myself.” Hipsher and Lively’s parents, Michael and Alison Lively, attended the ribbon cutting to show support of his

new endeavor. “I’ve very proud,” Hipsher said. “He’s been working very hard to get through the red tape and it’s been really difficult sometimes seeing the big picture and deciding it was worth all the trouble, but it definitely is.” “It’s been something that has been in the planning for a while,” his father added. “The last six months, he has been working very hard on his part to get to this point. He’s done all of

Local bowlers raise $4,000-plus at Chili Bowl... continued from the front page just donate that money back. So that’s $50 per team, $10 to bowl. “Then we just ask that you try to raise within your team, either a business sponsoring you or during the day betting against each other, another $50 minimum. So teams raise more than $50 each and that’s where we come up with the money.” Teams include members of the

Chili Cook-Off as well as those who “don’t cook,” according to Weaver. “These aren’t just Chili Cook-Off teams,” he explained. “These are just people that like to bowl and want to have a good time for three hours and raise money.” The event also excited teams for the Cook-Off in October and reignited friendly rivalries, in particular against the

Revolutionary Chili Team, according to Shelley. “Jordan Tandy (Revolutionary Chili’s leader), the winner of the last couple of years, is here and he’s not done that before,” McCallen said. “So there are always new people still coming out and still enjoying it.” The event provides locals with a “midwinter deal,” Weaver said.

“It does give everybody an excuse to come on out and participate in a good charity event,” he continued, “and they’ve been so supportive. All of these teams have been here almost every year and they’ve been really supportive every year. I think everyone has a great time and … they’re awesome with their hospitality here at Cannon Ball Lanes.”

VIEWPOINT This is what it’s supposed to be about! By Bill Barrows

Just when we think we have seen enough negative as possible on the evening news or in waves on social media, something happens to renew our faith in mankind. Sure, we have seen a

number of “Make a Wish” segments on ESPN that are very touching. We have been privileged to see a number of things that athletes and celebrities do for others that touch the heart —- all good things, but we seem to

still see more negative examples than positive. Another example would be Peyton Manning, leading the Denver Broncos to an upset win over the favored New England Patriots to reach the Super Bowl, probably

to play in his last game after 19 seasons. It was very interesting to see (and hear) a number of tributes to a player who is considered one of the genuine human beings in professional sports. Not only from his

Room for improvement Dear Editor, It has been said, “The largest room in the world is the room for improvement.” I heard recently, however, that the average New Year’s resolution only lasts 13 days! Most people desire a better quality of life and living. I would like to share five things that I call “God’s Recipe for Success” that I am confident will, if faithfully applied, improve the quality of anyone’s life:

— Invest time in reading and studying God’s Word, the Bible. (Jesus said we are not to live by bread alone, but by every Word of God - Matthew 4:4.) — Invest time in prayer and fellowshipping with the Father God. (Jesus said we are not to faint and give up, but to pray - Luke 18:1.) — Invest time in corporate worship and “assembling together.” (The Bible says it is very, very important to do this -

Hebrews 10:25.) — Invest time in reaching out to others and sharing God’s love. (One of the best ways to help ourselves is to help others, especially the hurting and those less fortunate - John 13:3435.) — Invest time in “temple maintenance” and pursuing wholeness. It is health that is real wealth. (The Bible says our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.)

These 5 things are simple, basic… and doable. They have temporal, and eternal, rewards. They can change one’s year and one’s life! We all must decide what is truly important. It’s been well said, “If your goals amount to nothing that is what you will get.” — Pastor Tim Morbitzer, Victory C h r i s t i a n Fellowship, North Manchester

Letters to the editor policy The editorial staff of The Paper invites readers to submit letters to the editor on timely issues. To ensure fairness to everyone, we have established the following guidelines: Mailed and faxed

letters must be signed. All submissions, including by email, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. The editor reserves the right to edit letters for length, con-

tent and readability. Also, per the editor’s judgment, personal attacks, inflammatory statements and legally objectionable material will not be printed. The editor must also limit readers to

submitting a maximum of two letters per month, regardless of whether previous letters have been published, due to space allotments in each weekly issue. Please limit all letters to 500 words or less.

teammates, past and present, but by his competitors, people that are considered hated rivals. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, both had very nice things to say about Manning, calling him a warrior and a personal friend. Not only were these remarks on national TV, but also on social media. All of that is positive, or is it? Athletes and celebrities alike are finding out that their every move can, and in a lot of cases, are being recorded and put on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. There is no need to name names, but just in the past month or so, several incidents have been recorded that either shed negative light or damage a career or reputation. A college football player was booted off his team because of a video and a tweet that put him in a compromising position after he had been in trouble

before. He then sent out a tweet with a hand written note apologizing to the school, athletic department, teammates, coaches, family and fans for his transgressions. Do these people not have mentors and/or positive people in their lives? I’m betting most do! But we have all made split second decisions that we have lived to regret. Unfortunately, some are recorded and immediately out there for all to see, including your coach, superior, parents and employer. And it usually doesn’t end well. As an employer and a coach, I have seen comments on Facebook and Twitter that have made me question what kids and sometimes parents are thinking. Do they think posts won’t get back to us? Can you feel me shaking my head in disbelief ? Well, as I have said, not all of this is negative. I have seen two

recent examples of what is positive. A couple of weeks ago, during one of our WebTV broadcasts, the Northfield Dance Team honored the memory of Karsyn Bratch, a courageous young lady who died of cancer after a long fight. The performance left me with tears in my eyes watching it on the broadcast. The other example happened just this past Wednesday night. Towards the end of the Wa b a s h / E lwo o d Swim Meet, both teams got together for a joint team cheer that was recorded by one of the coaches, who forwarded it to me. I shared it on my Facebook page. It sent chills up my spine to watch and to think that two teams, competing for a win, could still get together and celebrate the privilege of competition. Now that’s what this is supposed to be about.

Robert “Bob” Bailey, 93 U.S. Marine Corps veteran Feb. 19, 1922 – Jan. 27, 2016 Bob Bailey took the hand of Jesus and walked into his heavenly home on the morning of Jan. 27, 2016. Bob was born in Fullerton, Neb., on Feb. 19, 1922 to his parents Everett J. and Gladys Marie (Sterett) Bailey. Bob’s sister, Shirley Ann Roberts of Newcastle, was born six years later. Bob was a very active high school student in Lexington, Neb., where he played basketball and football, and also ran track. He sang in the high school chorus and was a member of the school quartet, as well as being in his church choir. In 1940, the Bailey family moved to Noblesville. It was on a blind date that Bob met Elizabeth Lenore (Lee) Sexson, an Indianapolis girl who turned out to be the love of his life. In 1942, Bob joined the United States Marine Corps, serving until 1945. He was the chief mechanic for an F4U Corsair fighter plane, while serving in the Central Pacific Arena. Bob returned home in 1945, and on Aug. 25, he and Lee were married in her church in Indianapolis. In 2002, Lee was called home to be with the Lord, after celebrating nearly 57 years of a beautiful, loving marriage. Bob and Lee always set a perfect example of a Christian marriage, showing great love and respect for each other at all times. They taught a fifth grade Sunday school class for many years, and helped lead many souls to Christ during their lifetime together. Bob continued to be very active in their church in LaFontaine after Lee’s passing, and was still singing with the Praise Team there every Sunday morning until his move to Timbercrest on Oct. 1, 2013. At this time, he began attending the North Manchester United Methodist Church with his daughter and son-in-law, Pam and Terry McKee. Bob read Upper Room daily devotions, and read two chapters of Scripture every day. He was also a true prayer warrior, and included the Timbercrest family in his prayer life. Bob worked for General Motors for 44 years. Since the last of the three plants he worked in was Fisher Body, in Marion, it was necessary for Bob and Lee to move nearer Bob’s work. In August 1962, they moved with their three daughters, Pamela Joan (Terry) McKee of North Manchester, Donna Lee (Doug) Barton of LaFontaine, and Laura Sue (Bill) Eppley of Wabash, to LaFontaine. Bob enjoyed playing bridge and euchre at Timbercrest, and had recently begun playing bingo regularly. Bob was truly appreciative of all the Timbercrest staff, and enjoyed sharing candy, pretzels and popcorn with the nurses, as well as a joke or two. He enjoyed working crossword puzzles in his room, and loved going to different restaurants to eat tenderloins. He ate an apple every day, and loved popcorn and potato chips. In addition to Bob’s three daughters and sister; survivors include six grandchildren, Douglas Bailey McKee (Kimberly), Kelly Joan Cheshier (Mark), Sabrina Lee White (Robert), Jennifer Jean Steininger (Christopher), Robert Douglas Barton (Lesley), and Miles Richard Eppley (Melissa); 22 great-grandchildren. One grandson, Garth Alan Eppley preceded him in death in 2006. Funeral service were Monday, Feb. 1, 2016, at LaFontaine United Methodist Church, 2 W.

Donald E. Egner, 80 Owned Egner Enterprise Jan. 18, 1936 – Jan. 26, 2016

Donald E. Egner, 80, lifetime resident of rural North Manchester, passed away peacefully on Jan. 26, 2016, at Grace Village of Winona Lake. Don was a tiny miracle born to Joe and Katherine (Barnes) Egner on Jan. 18, 1936. He was delivered at home in Stringtown, by Mildred Brubaker. He weighed under 2 pounds and Mildred placed him in a shoebox for a bed. Neighbors and friends skated down the river to visit the tiny baby boy in his homemade incubator. Both parents preceded him in death, along with a baby brother, Thomas Egner, who died a few hours after birth. Don leaves behind three sons, Edward Egner, Dennis (Jodi) Egner, and Scott (Kim) Egner, all of North Manchester. He is also survived by eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren that he loved dearly. Don attended Laketon School. He held several jobs over his lifetime but he took great pride in his work in the gunsmithing and leather shop at Schutz Brothers of North Manchester. Yet nothing compared to his love for the family farm and business, Egner Enterprise. The family’s business was started in the summer of 1962 with a family road trip to Michigan for the purchase of their first three concrete molds. From there Joe, Kate, Don, and his then wife, Carolyn Wolf Harting, began a business that thrived for many years creating hand poured cement products ranging from bird baths, to statuary and other assorted lawn and novelty items. The once home-based endeavor grew and required a retail storefront leading the family to move from their original homestead on 950 N to the current location south of N. Manchester on the corner of St. Rd 13 and 900N. As times and mass manufacturing evolved, Don continued to grow the family business, evolving as necessary to add a variety of services and goods to meet the community’s needs. Over the years you could find almost anything there from dog food to red worms to bottled propane gas. Don loved chatting with his customers, neighbors, and friends who stopped regularly for fresh eggs, a can of pop, or just for a visit as he sat on the porch in his favorite chair. And he never turned down a request from a grandchild for a ride in his golf cart. Don was an inactive member of the Ijamsville United Methodist Church. He served as the sexton of the Laketon Cemetery for many years until his health prevented him from carrying out his duties. Along with those duties he also sold monuments for the Caldwell Monument Company. Don enjoyed traveling with his camper to the Tri-State Gas Engine and Tractor show near Portland every year where he would set up a display and sell his cement items. He loved the old steam engines and antique tractors and equipment. Don’s health began to fail and with great reluctance he temporarily relocated to Grace Village where he lived for the remaining two years of his life. Leaving his home, his dog Toby, and all that he loved so dearly was difficult for him, but necessary. The family would like to express their gratitude to Grace Village Healthcare for the exemplary care and love that they bestowed upon Don during his time in their care. Visitation and services will be on February 6, 2016. Friends may call at McKee Mortuary, North Manchester from 9:00am-11:00am with funeral service at 11:00 am, officiated by Don’s niece, the Rev. Elizabeth Wolf. Burial will follow at the Laketon Cemetery. Preferred memorial contributions in Don’s memory may be made to The Wabash County Animal Shelter, 810 Manchester Ave, Wabash, IN 46992.

Accountability grades... continued from the front page ty grades: Manchester JuniorSenior High School: C M a n c h e s t e r Elementary School: A M a n c h e s t e r Intermediate: B MSD of Wabash County Northfield Junior-Senior High School: C MSD of Wabash County Southwood Junior-Senior High School: B MSD of Wabash County Southwood Elementary School: A MSD of Wabash County Sharp Creek Elementary School: C MSD of Wabash County Metro North Elementary School: C Wabash High School: B Wabash Middle School: C O.J. Neighbours

Elementary School: C Saint Bernard Elementary School: A White’s JuniorSenior High School reported “No Grade” for the 2015 assessment. Although the accountability grades remained unchanged, local educators agreed that the grades are misleading do not fully represent student and teacher efforts. WCS Superintendent Jason Callahan told The Paper of Wabash County that the grades are “not very transparent” with what they’re accounting for. “When you’re just looking at two tests, it’s way too narrow and it doesn’t reflect really a quality of a school,” he continued. “You can

stick an F or D or A or whatever you want on that, but what if you’re measuring is too narrow or not complete, it’s really misleading. “I would argue that if you look at junior-senior high schools, (they) tend to get penalized by how the system is set up,” he continued. “It takes your seventh and eighth grade scores and your high school scores and add those together and it tends to take down your high school scores, so it’s not very transparent at all in the current system.” MSD of Wabash County Chief Academic Officer Melissa Brisco shared similar concerns to Callahan’s. “The testing environment, the transition to the new standards and new tests are all areas of concern,” she wrote to The Paper in an email. “Also, the letter grade is calculated using two measures, achievement and growth. The achievement part of the grade is based on the number of students that pass the new test. The other part, growth, is based on comparing students’ growth from one test to another. “This is particularly problematic considering the two tests are completely different and assess student mastery of standards in different ways.” Saint Bernard Principal Theresa Carroll told The Paper of Wabash County that she is proud of her students and teachers for their hard work over the years and that receiving another A grade is a bonus, but the grade still does account for all of her school’s efforts. “The ISTEP test is just a snapshot of where the students are on that given day in time of the year,” Carroll told The Paper. “The staff work really hard to help the students do their best. “So the accountability (grade) may speak to that a little bit, but really on a day-to-day basis, I look at our teachers and our students and am really proud to be part of a school family that works at excelling all year long and not putting too much weight on any one snapshot or one given time for how well we’re doing.” Callahan voiced similar opinions to Carroll. “I would say that we’re much greater than what these grades

reflect and I would say that for schools across (Indiana),” he said. “Hey, I bleed orange and black and advocate for Wabash City Schools but schools across the state of Indiana get marginalized by these letter grades which are supposed to be transparent and are anything but. “I think who are engaged know that, so I’m not sure these letter grades mean a whole lot to parents who are involved in their kid’s education,” Callahan continued. “I think they realize that these letter grades do not reflect performing and fine arts. … Opportunities to go to the Grand Canyon on science trips, that’s not in these grades. What we do with the career center and kids coming out with welding certificates, that’s not reflected in these grades. “There’s a lot not reflected in these grades, so I’d really want parents, if they’re not engaged or if they have questions, to really seek answers to those questions.” He also noted that he applauds the state legislators and Pence for their decision to pass SB 200, but “that’s a one-time kind of fix.” “I think there’s concerns as we move forward because this year there’s a new accountability system for 20152016,” Callahan explained. “And we also have a new vendor. So last year the test was completed by CTB/McGraw-Hill and this year’s test is Pearson (Education). “So I think with the passage of ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act), the rewrite of No Child Left Behind, I really hope that the state of Indiana takes advantage and kind of reworks our whole accountability system.” Brisco continued that Wabash County parents should know that local educators are working to meet the new standard’s levels of expectations. “Parents need to know that we continue to reflect and revise our curriculum and instruction to better meet the level of rigor of the new standards,” she wrote. Attempts to contact M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools Superintendent Dr. Bill Reichhart were unscussessful.

Indiana parks to host SPR GO! Game From the DNR Discover the hidden treasures of Indiana’s state parks as they celebrate their centennial year by taking part in the SPR GO! Game. The game is similar to bingo. Players must find game codes at designated locations on the properties and record them on their game card in the appropriate space. Completing five spaces in a row, column or diagonal qualifies the player for prizes. Prizes include

annual entrance passes that can be used at state parks, reservoirs and state forest recreation areas; gift cards for Indiana State Park inns and lodges; camping gift cards; subscriptions to Outdoor Indiana magazine and more. As a bonus to celebrate the 100th birthday of Indiana State Parks, SPR GO! Game participants can try the more challenging “Centennial CoverAll” version. The cover-all requires participants to visit at least 25 of the 40 sites on the card. Finishers

will receive a free Indiana State Parks centennial coin, and also qualify for prizes. The game’s webp a g e , stateparks.IN.gov/ga mecard, is the place to download a game card, read hints for finding the game code locations at each property, and to read rules and regulations. SPR GO! is an abbreviation for State Parks & Reservoirs, Get Outside. Each household is limited to one game card. Game cards must be

received by the Department of Natural Resources by Jan. 31, 2017, to be eligible for prizes. In addition to prizes, the game is an opportunity to learn, create memories, and discover the parks. Indiana’s state parks system was established in 1916 as a gift to Hoosiers in recognition of the state’s 100th birthday.

Bill would impact local family farm... continued from the front page about their testimony on Jan. 21 before the House Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. State Rep. Don Lehe, R-Indianapolis, introduced HB 1267 as a “mirror bill” of SB 71, introduced by State Sen. Jean Leising, ROldenburg, to be considered by the committee. “We were at the hearing last Thursday, and we were able to present a fairly reasonable case,” Jeff Hawkins told Council members, “at least enough so that they decided not to take a vote at that time because they had more to think about.” He continued, “The threat to us is that we spent about nine months working with the Board of Animal Health (BOAH) going through all kinds of important work so that we could apply for the permit to operate under this 20,000-bird exemption. We followed all the rules, we were inspected, we passed all of that, and we received the grant of exemption, so we started processing on our farm in June.” He noted that the farm sells to a number of local fine dining restaurants, including . “They really want our birds because they’re really unique in the area,” he explained. “The track record of this exempted poultry over the last 47 years is very safe. In fact, there hasn’t even been a recorded case of foodborne illness from an exempted bird. So, we feel confident that we can maintain that track record as well. All of that was put in place, but then the State Department of Health got nervous about it and issued a cease and desist order applying a different law. “The law didn’t apply to us because we were under this grant of exemption, but they still tried to say that we weren’t allowed to do it because of what that other law said.”

Attorney General Greg Zoeller clarified that the farm was under the law that included the grant of exemption. Jeff Hawkins told the council that should have put things to rest, but then the new legislation came forward. “It is entirely legal for the State of Indiana to place more restrictive laws on the federal law, and so, if this bill were to pass then we would not be able to sell poultry to retail establishments, which is about 30 percent of our poultry business,” he said. Zach Hawkins testified about his family’s history of farming in Wabash County and his desire to continue the tradition. The Hawkins family has been farming for six generations in the county, he noted, going back to 1849 when his great-greatg re at - g r a n d f at h e r settled in Waltz Township. Zach Hawkins is the fourth generation to farm the family’s 99 acres just outside of North

Manchester. “House Bill 1267 stands to erode the character of our state by creating a regulatory climate that is hostile to small farmers who, inspired by the example of the past, endeavor to create successful smallscale farms and strong local food systems in 2016, a year in which the National Restaurant Association has named ‘locally sourced meats’ as the number one food trend among chefs,” Zach Hawkins said. “The bill would dismantle an effective, scale-appropriate regulatory structure available to small poultry producers and locally minded restaurants for over 45 years.” Council Chair Mike Ridenour asked the Hawkinses what they thought about the county’s efforts on behalf of the family and their farm. “It’s been something of a surprise to us that we’ve been challenged in this way because we followed all the rules and so forth,” Jeff Hawkins said, “but

it’s been equally surprising the kind of support and encouragement we’ve felt. And even for you to take the initiative to do this is just wildly encouraging to us. “We just want to say thank you, because it will matter, these voices will matter, and I think they’ll matter enough to not only strengthen our stance for now, but also to hold off any forces that might be interested in pursuing this beyond the immediate outcome.” Ridenour told the family that, “we saw that one of our local county businesses was potentially going to suffer at the hands of the state legislature, and I understand concern, but we wanted to make a stand for you.” Following the meeting, Jeff Hawkins told the North Manchester News-Journal that the rules of conventionally inspected facilities and those such as the Hawkins Family Farm “are basically the same, except there just isn’t someone there when the birds are being

butchered.” “Actually, the reason they had somebody there when the birds were killed was because the threats to safety were different 50-60 years ago than they are now. A lot of what we have to worry about now has to do with microbial levels, which the inspector can’t see. Previously, most of the problems were caused by less than sanitary practices, and those are the kinds of things the inspector was useful for.” Zach noted that the farm’s butchering facility “has a big window where people can actually see it happen on Saturday mornings if that’s something they’re interested in. So, in addition to government inspection there is inspection happening, which

this law recognizes, although it’s not a federal or state

inspector, but rather the customer themselves.”

Former missionaries: This is a picture of the Rev. Richard and Kay Thompson and their son, David, taken in 1971 or 1972. The Thompsons were missionaries in the Philippines. Kay Thompson was a sister to Wayne (Alma) Devore. Wayne asked St. Peter’s Church if they would have a whole hog sausage and pancake day to raise money for the Thompson’s missionary work. For many years mush made by Wayne Devore was served with the sausage and pancakes. For the last 45 years The Whole Hog Sausage and Pancake Day has become an annual fund raiser for outreach for the church in Urbana. Kay (Devore) Thompson, a graduate of Wabash High School, is deceased. Dick now lives in Chicago. David (Amy) is a lawyer in Baltimore.

Severe weather training class planned By The Paper staff A severe weather and spotter training class will take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, at the Honeywell Center skating rink. The program is part of the Preparedness Outreach Programs of the Wabash County E m e r g e n c y Management Agency and the National Weather Service of Northern Indiana. The class is open to those 10 years to adult. EMA Director Keith Walters noted that Wabash County often encounters severe weather in the form of thunderstorms, high winds, hail and tornadoes, as well as flood-

ing and flash flooding. Spotters play an important role in reporting weather to local authorities and the weather service. Although the NWS has highly technical weather radar systems, the training spotter can provide detailed information of actual weather conditions at their location, Walters noted. The Wabash County and Miami County Amateur Radio clubs will be on hand to provide information about becoming an amateur radio operator. Amateur radio operators are needed when disasters prevent normal communications methods from working.
