Southwood seniors receive diplomas By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The spirit of Dr. Seuss was alive Friday night, as 92 seniors at Southwood High School became the school’s newest alumni. Valedictorian Michael Lengel, throughout his commencement address, invoked quotes from the legendary children’s storyteller. Lengel told his classmates, “Dr. Seuss once said, ‘You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own and you know what you know. And you are the guy who’ll decide where to go.” But he also reminded his fellow students that graduation isn’t necessarily the end.

“Graduation is about the future,” he said. “We have worked roughly 12 years toward this day. Graduation is just a small stepping stone toward the rest of our lives.” The Southwood Class of 2015 did more than graduate from high school on Saturday night, he noted. “We are also graduating into adults,” Lengel said. “It is up to each and every one of you to decide what is right for your future. Whether you are going to college I the fall, entering the workforce or something else entirely, just make sure it is the right decision for you because as Dr. Seuss also said, ‘Only you can control your future.’” A track and cross country participant at Southwood, Lengel likened life to that of a cross-coun(continued on page 14)

NHS seniors begin new Wabash High School’s chapter in their lives graduating class off to ‘live life’ By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The 78 members of the Northfield High School are venturing our on a new chapter of their lives. That fact was hammered home several times during the school’s commencement ceremony on Saturday night by valedictorian Lauren Early, salutatorian Alexandria Peterson and classmate Joseph Burcroff. “The past is so much a part of who we are,” Early told her classmates. “It has defined us into the young me n and women standing here today. It has been a great adventure so far and this is just the beginning. “We are on the verge of reality at last.” Early, whose senior year was the only time she was a student at Northfield, noted that the class had a wide variety of experiences throughout the year, all working toward their one special night. “Today is a day to be inspired and to be thankful,” she said. “Today is a day to be remembered. It is indisputably and ending to the life that we are all familiar

One hundred and eight students left Wabash High School for good this past weekend as the 2015 graduating class and walked toward their futures, with diplomas in hand, to “live as [they] desire.” Valedictorian Kevin Dong emphasized that at the school’s graduation ceremony on Sunday May 31 in the Honeywell Center. Before his peers could throw their caps in celebration of the occasion, Dong posed a question to his classmates,“…How does conforming to the expectations of others benefit you, the individual?” “Perhaps you developed a persona of being the class clown during high school,” he continued. “So what? What does that matter now that high school is done and over with?” Dong told his peers that they shouldn’t willingly

All bird showings at the Wabash County 4-H Fair have been canceled this year as a precaution to the spread of avian influenza, according to Angela Christopher, Wabash County 4-H youth educator. The cancellation is a result of the Indiana State Board of Animal Health’s (BOAH) ban on all public displays of birds, including shows, exhibitions, and public sales, as of May 27. The decision was made “to protect Indiana’s poultry from potential exposure to H5 avian influenza virus,” the BOAH announced in a press release. While virus is not dangerous to humans through poultry meat or egg consumption, it is often deadly for chickens, turkeys, exotic birds, and other fowl, according to the BOAH. “This was not a decision made lightly,” Indiana State Veterinarian Bret Marsh wrote in the release. “The spread of the H5 viruses has been unprecedented, and our goal is to protect the health of small, backyard poultry flocks as much as our commercial industry from this disease.” Nationally, 16 states including Iowa, Minnesota and Pennsylvania have diagnosed cases of avian flu, resulting in the deaths of more than 40 million birds, the BOAH reported. In Indiana, one backyard flock of 77 poultry in Whitley County was diagnosed with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) on May 9. Christopher told The Paper of Wabash County that she knows it wasn’t easy decision to make. “It wasn’t easy to email the kids in this county and (continued on page 6)

County workers may receive pay raise By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash County employees could receive their first pay raise in several years next year. On Monday, Wabash County Commissioners approved recommending to the Wabash County Council to allow up to 3 percent pay raises for workers. However, Commissioner Barry Eppley told The Paper of Wabash County, that the action doesn’t guarantee any raises, just yet. It is up to the County Council, during its budget talks later this year, to approve pay raises for employees. The suggestions will come from individual department heads. And, he added, just because the Commissioners recommended up to 3 percent, department heads may recommend 1 or 2 percent increases, depending on an employee’s performance. If the department head recommends the lower rate, he continued, the Council cannot increase it to the 3 percent level. However, the council can reduce the pay increase, no matter how much is suggested, depending on the county’s financial status at that time. The last increase, 1 percent, came in 2013.

Africa, to spread the seed of agriculture and God. As early as June 1, Austin Carrothers, his wife Sarah, and three children Jayden, 7, Allis, 6, and Wyatt, 3, will be leaving behind their friends, family, home, and luxuries, such as electricity, to serve God and help develop sustainable farming in the bush region of Malawi. The family, in conjunction with Gospelink, will be assisting Harvest Hope Homes, housing facilities that help children left behind by their families for various reasons, such as lack of food or medical complications. “What I’ve been hired, in a sense, to do on a volunteer basis, because it’s mission work, is agriculture,” Carrothers said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “So my primary focus is to take (the facilities’) farm ground, develop that ground so that the

Photo provided crops off of that, the garden, any proceeds they can make money off of that will go into the orphanage to make it self-sustainable.” While the work is mission-based, the family does not plan to return to the United States except for occasional visits. “There’s no definite we’re going for two years or five years,” Carrothers said. “We’re committed to go to see the project through and even, hopefully, start over, maybe do it again. If this successful in five years, then we can potentially move and start a new orphanage and just start over the whole idea. “We have no plans on coming back.” Carrothers took his first trip to Malawi five years ago after learning about the local need for agricultural help. “I was a farmer then and talked to a lady that had been over there and working with orphans and children and she was just talking about the food shortages that they had,” he said. “Being a farmer, I thought I could help and encourage her to converse through email, questions that might help. “Few emails later, exchanging information and stuff, it just kind of hit me that,

you know you don’t know something until you go see it.” During his visit, he saw different areas where he could assist the local’s farming techniques, such as providing ideas for irrigation and utilizing sustainable farming to its fullest. “They’re subsistent farmers so they grow what they can eat and that’s it,” he said. “They don’t use currency. They don’t have the means to buy fertilizer like we use in the states. They don’t have, in a lot of case, they money to buy good seed to use to plant. And so, a lot of what I’ve done in farming is using our manure at the maximum fertility of the soil and kind of figuring that out. … And so a lot of what I did was involved in that.” It wasn’t until he made his second trip to Malawi that he felt “called” to move there, he said. “I saw the change in him after his first trip and just kind of got to see that and it wasn’t until probably his second trip over that we really started getting serious about moving,” Mrs. Carrothers said. “He felt it so we went a third time to see how I would do and we both fell in love with it and both felt called.” However, while the local farmer initially

planned to make the move to assist with farming practices, he and his wife realized after the third trip that there was also a great need for the gospel, Carrothers said. “I mean it was all mission based, but the Bible says, ‘He calls us to spread the gospel,’” he continued. “And it was kind of like a process of figuring out we go to spread the gospel and if we can help farm, then we farm.” That’s when the family decided to go to “Bible School.” In 2013, the Carrothers moved to South Carolina to attend the Evangelistic Institute of Greenville, and on May 9, 2015, Carrother graduated with an associate degree in Biblical Training. “We need training so that we can effectively give the gospel, we can council people in what the Bible says, and we can essentially be a part of church leadership and help the church grow while we’re there,” Carrother said. With training complete and their home sold, the family is ready to leave, but currently still has one remaining dilemma. “We have to raise all our money to go,” he said. “Our up-front needs are $55,000 and (continued on page 3)

Manchester. The graduates proved their competency in writing, reading, math, science, social studies and logic skills in order to

Literacy donation:

Sharp Creek Elementary’s fourth grade students received a literacy donation on Thursday May 14 from Indiana Ag in the Classroom and the Farm Bureau Foundation after the Indiana State Department of Agriculture presented the two organizations with a $50,000 grant. The grant focuses on the development and distribution of literacy materials based on Indiana Agriculture. Representative Helen Elrod, Wabash County Farm Bureau Women’s Leader, (far right) presented students (front row, from left) Dylan Ross, Kolton Wilson, (second row, from left) Claire Thompson, Sophie Ross, and teacher Deb Schenkel with the novel “The Beef Princess of Practical County” by Michelle Houts, an Indiana “Ag Mag” and one or more copies of an Indiana Activity Book.

acquire their HSE diploma. The students were recognized during a graduation ceremony on May 16 at the Wabash Alliance Church. The event highlighted many of the challenges that students faced, how they persevered in their educational and life journey, and how they ultimately gained success. In addition, 14 students were inducted into the National Adult Honor Society, demonstrating the attributes of dependable attendance, cooperative attitude and work ethic. Two more students were recognized for attaining U.S. citizenship within this past year. Support for this event was provided by the Wabash Alliance Church and Lovebug Floral & Gifts, 255 Stitt St, Wabash.

The Learn More Center was founded by the Community Foundation of Wabash County and funded by the Lilly E n d o w m e n t Community Alliance to Promote Education (CAPE) Grant. The mission of the Learn More Center is to provide educational services and a learning community to meet the instructional needs of adult learners in Wabash County related to workforce readiness, adult basic education, English as a second language and literacy. Major support for the Learn More Center is provided by the Pauline Barker Trust and an anonymous matching donor through the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County. Barker, a life-long

resident of Wabash, is remembered as the manager of Rock City Café, a position she had for 45 years. Before her death in 1999, she established the educational foundation bearing her name to provide support for basic literacy education, adult education, vocational training and re-training of youth and adults in Wabash County. The Pauline Barker Educational Trust is administered by First Merchants Trust Company.

City Council OKs Harvey’s compliance report The vote came after testimony from Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, that the firm was in compliance, in spite of the fact that it has been undergoing some economic woes in recent months. On Jan. 2, Harvey Industries announced the layoff of twothirds of its employees due to “unforeseeable business circumstances,” namely the

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Harvey Industries was found to be compliant with terms spelled out in the tax abatement it received from the City of Wabash. Firms receiving abatements are required to appear before the council annually to show they are in compliance with the terms. The council voted 5-0 that it was in compliance.

loss of two large contracts with General Motors and Modine, two of the company’s largest clients. The layoff affected 143 workers at the Wabash plant. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern Division of Michigan, appointed a receiver for the firm, Steve R. Wybo of Conway MacKenzie Inc., Detroit, Mich. Gillenwater and Shawn Floor, Harvey’s plant controller, told the council that while there have been lay-offs, those took place in 2015 and that the firm had met its abatement requirements in 2014. Floor told the council that all but about 58 of the 143 laid off workers have returned to the job, and that the firm could be calling more back in the near future. Gillenwater noted the firm had exceeded its requirements by 21 workers in 2014 before the downturn began.

Two other similar hearings – one for AlFe Heat Treating and the other for Kirk and Kathleen Westman – were tabled. No one representing either party was present for the hearing. In a final matter, the board voted to

delay appointing two new members to the Wabash City Schools Board until later this year. Under a new state statute, the school board terms begin in January, rather than July as in years past. Wabash City Schools is one of

about a dozen boards around the state that is still appointed. Because of that, it must report to the council throughout the year, especially when dealing with the budget. For example, the council must give final approval to the district’s budget.

Because of the change, the two board members whose terms would have expired in June, Matt Bruss and Bill Konyha, have agreed to continue serving through the end of 2015.

County OKs bids for bridge work By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Primco Inc. received the bid on Tuesday, May 26, for the Harrison Avenue bridge reconstruction project. The work is expected to begin later this

summer or possibly as late as this fall, and is expected to last about 120 days. A Fort Wayne firm, Primco bid $647,290 for the project. One other firm, HIS Constructors, Indianapolis, bid $749,657. The bids, which

were open May 18, were taken under advisement to allow the county’s engineering firm, United Consulting, to review them. United officials reviewed the bids and recommended Primco for the work. In recent days,

motorists experienced what it will be like when the work begins in earnest. NIPSCO crews have blocked the intersection several days while moving gas lines at the site in preparation of the bridge reconstruction.

Manchester Main Street presents awards By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — In recognition of National Historic Preservation Month, the Manchester Main Street (MMS) Historic Preservation & Design (HP&D) committee presented its first annual Preservation Awards on May 19 during the “ C e l e b r a t e Preservation” program at the North Manchester Center for History. Recipients in 2015 were James Wehner for the restoration of his Pennsylvania style residential brick home (202 E. 3rd Street) built in 1863; Brian and Jennifer Pattisons’ rehabilitation of their historic landmark commercial property, the Sheller Hotel (202 N. Walnut Street); and the Town of North Manchester received the Project Excellence award for the transformation of the downtown historic district through the streetscape and facade programs. “The Town is appreciative that MMS has acknowledged the years of work that went into the process, not only of the facade program but the entire streetscape project,” said Laura Rager, Town Council member. “The unsung heroes in this process have been the building owners. Over the last 10-15 years they have stayed the course and often had to recommit through contracts, have multiple meetings with designers and engineers, and attended numerous public hearings. They had faith in our plan and stayed committed to the dream.” W e h n e r ’ s Pennsylvania style brick house was built by Miletus Andrews in 1863. Before the house was completed, .Andrews died in the Civil War, so he was never able to live in it. Helen and Russell Michael lived there, followed by the Michael’s daughter, prior to Wehner purchasing it in 1985. In the past year, Wehner began the restoration process by hiring a mason to do tuckpointing and a contractor to restore the full-length front porch. The Sheller Hotel

als or entities to recognize exemplary restoration efforts to make North Manchester a more beautiful place to live. The awards are intended to celebrate past work and encour-

age future projects promoting historic preservation. “In a town like ours, with so many beautiful historic homes and structures,” said Debbie Chinworth, MMS HP&D Chair, “there are countless owners that could be honored. In our inaugural year, we are recognizing these three projects.”

Renata Robinson, Manchester Main Street executive director, and Debbie Chinworth, MM S P&A chair, poses with representatives from the Town of North Manchester, which received the Project Excellence Award.

Brian & Jennifer Pattison purchased this hotel in 1999 and completely gutted the 2nd and 3rd floors to create living space for their family and bed & breakfast (B&B) rooms. They operated the Hospitality House as a restaurant and B&B until 2006. Three years ago they saw that the exterior was getting shabby, so in order to protect the building and the interior renovations, they tuckpointed and repainted the brick and trim.

However, the situation itself is still a lesson for the children, according to Christopher. “We can talk to them about disease prevention and biosecurity and transmission of diseases, not just through poultry but other animals as well,” she said. “Part of 4-H is to educate the youth on animal safety and animal health. So, that is why the Purdue and Purdue Extension work so closely with the Board of Animal Health and definitely take their directions on what the best way to keep animals safe

and to protect even the larger population, because the 4-H poultry project is part of a larger industry that is very important in Indiana.” While the ban will halt all poultry shows in the state, 4-H members will still be able to complete their projects regardless, Christopher said. “The first thing that they need to remember is exhibition at the fair is not a requirement for a project to be completed in 4-H,” she said. “You can always complete a project by submitting manuals and record sheets, which is basically the educational materials that you’ve done leading up to the fair which is the culminating activity for the year.” Members may also submit a poultry poster project by June 1 if they desire to have an exhibit at the fair, the local educator

continued. “There will also still be a showmanship class at the Wabash Country Fair,” Christopher said. “There will not be a bird present, but we will have a judge and they will problem ask (the members) poultry related questions of whatever bird that they would’ve shown.” Poultry related activities will be available at the fair for members to compete, earn plaques, and participate in the Parade of Champions. Even though the bird will not be physically present, Christopher said that children will still have an opportunity to “sell” their fowl. “We’re not exactly sure what that will look like at this point,” Christopher said. “We’re guessing that they’ll hold up a picture or something

of their bird maybe, but they will still be given the opportunity to sell and more information is still to come on that. “We hope that the community will still support the kids and understand that this is rough for the kids and it’s not how they would have chosen it, but that we’re definitely a part of a larger community and need to support the larger community.” The 4-H Fair committee has not yet determined if egg judging will still be an event this year. The Poultry Club will still be meeting on June 4. The Wabash County 4-H Fair will begin Monday, July 6 through Saturday, July 11. The Queen’s Coronation will take place on July 1 at the Honeywell Center. Part of the Horse and Pony Show will take place on July 3.

State Parks launches elementary school history program By The Paper staff A new program will teach elementary-age children about the Indiana’s history, from before the Ice Age through modern times. Part of the lessons will be how that history is tied to Indiana State Parks. “Hoosier History and Indiana State Parks” is a series of 11 curriculum units available online. The units target fourthgraders and their study of Indiana his-

tory but could be adapted for any grade level or informal education at home, or taught through Scout organizations and other groups. The program is one way Indiana State Parks is gearing up for its centennial celebration and the state’s bicentennial celebration. Both are in 2016. “Now is the perfect time to look at how past and current events at our state parks link to past and current events in Indiana history,” said

Ben Clark, chief of cultural resources for Indiana State Parks, who oversaw the development of the curriculum. Topics include fossils, glaciers, American Indian culture, pioneers and the clearing of Indiana’s forests, historic African-American settlements, the Civilian Conservation Corps and more. Students can watch videos and read visually appealing study guides that relate those concepts to indi-

vidual parks, from Pokagon in the north to Clifty Falls in the south. The curriculum is a t stateparks.IN.gov/828 0.htm . Lessons meet state educational standards for English, science and social studies. Indiana State Parks developed the curriculum with help from the Indiana Department of Education, Indiana Historical Bureau, Indiana Bicentennial Commission, Indiana

Geological Survey, Ball State University, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi. “It has been a real partnership,” said Ginger Murphy, deputy director for stewardship for Indiana State Parks. The units are selfexplanatory and ready to use, but Indiana State Parks also will host a series of workshops around the state this summer and early fall for teachers. The work-

shops will introduce the curriculum and activities and share resources and information about Indiana State Parks history. When teachers incorporate the curriculum into their classrooms and share results of the lessons with state parks, all students in that class receive one free admission to a state park of their choice. More info will be available on the web page.

The curriculum does not require a park field trip, although Indiana State Parks encourages field trips for all types of learning opportunities. Schools and homeschool educators may be eligible for field trip financial assistance through The Discovering the Outdoors Field Trip Grant Program. Information is at IndianaNRF.org

Stirring it up with Angie Baer Typically asparagus season is on the down swing this late in the spring, but I am still picking scads from my garden everyday. If you’re anything like me, you have created many ways to prepare fresh asparagus. Grilling asparagus, basting with butter and lightly seasoning with garlic salt is definitely a favorite but, this recipe for asparagus casserole is an easy second best. If growing you’re own or buying asparagus at you’re local farmers market isn’t and option for you, substituting with three tall cans of asparagus will be fine.

Asparagus Casserole 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 1 cup Chicken in the Biskit cracker crumbs about 1 pound of fresh asparagus 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1/2 cup of liquid reserved from blanching the asparagus sliced almonds Mix the mushroom soup with the liquid reserved. Set aside. Mix the cheese and cracker crumbs together, set aside. Drain the asparagus. Arrange in alternate layers in a casserole dish ( 2 12 quart) in the following order. Put 1/3 of the cheese and cracker crumb mixture on the bottom, then layer 1/3 of the asparagus. Pour over the asparagus 1/3 of the soup mixture. Repeat the layering 2 more times and top with sliced almonds. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Sorority meets in Columbia City Article provided The March 21 meeting of the Alpha Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma S o c i e t y International took place at Grace Evangelical Church in Columbia City. President Carol Winterholter introduced two guests, Angie Grable and Holly Elwood. The chapter consists of people from Huntington, Wabash and Whitley counties. Attending from Wabash County was Nancy Kolb. Angie Grable gave the program, using Power Point to explain a classroom innovation called Café 5. The program is based on two books, “The Café Book” and “The Daily 5.” She uses teaching by strategies grouping rather than by levels grouping with her students. “Café” stands for comprehension, accuracy, fluency and expanding vocabulary. State Liaison Michelle Ball reminded members

that they need to talk about Delta Kappa Gamma to younger women so they know what great programs are available through the reorganization. She also shared a few thoughts from her experience at the state convention. A service of remembrance took place for Dorothy Johnson, the last living founder, and for Jo Ann Hapner, both of whom passed away in January. Minutes and the treasurer’s report from the Nov. 8, 2014, meetings were both approved. Forms were passed out to recommend women for membership. It was mentioned that there are categories for retired teachers and women who educate without being in a classroom to be invited to join. The proposed budget for 2015-16, which includes a dues increase, was passed. Members were reminded that, if they are choosing to split the dues payment, the spring one

is now due. It was announced that Chelsie Fisher has been chosen to receive the Esther Mae Ashley Scholarship. Cards were passed to be signed for members Carol Winterholter, June Everitt, Judy Jordan and Pat Reed, who need cheer. Because there are now members from Grant County, Carol Herzog moved that the Grant County Feed the Children Fund be added to the chapter’s fundraising project, in addition to the current counties. Barb Buroker seconded the motion and it carried. Karen Kinney presented at State Convention. Others attending were Carol Herzog, Barb Buroker, Carol Winterholter and Michelle Ball. The chapter’s newsletter was offered as one of five exemplary examples among the newsletters all over the state. A new magazine, The Exchange, will soon be published

and Delta Kappa Gamma members may share ideas for classroom use. Barb Buroker asked that members tell her whether they want their state newsletter to arrive through email or postal mail. She also announced that

plans are being made for the Fall Arts Retreat to take place Nov. 6-7 at Shiloh Park in Marion. The May 2 meeting will be at Heritage Pointe in Warren. The meeting was adjourned wit the singing of the Delta Kappa Gamma song.

Homemakers Council meets in May Article provided

Wabash County E x t e n s i o n Homemakers Council met at the Farm Bureau Insurance Office Building on May 4, 2015. President Ruth Dyson opened the meeting with a welcome to all present. She shared a quote from one of Colleen Coble’s book “God is in the habit of taking the awful things that happen in life and turning them into diamonds in our path.” The pledges to the American flag and the Christian flag and the Homemaker’s Creed were repeated. Roll call response was “what are you looking forward to this summer?” and was answered by representatives from Liberty Bells, Richvalley, Kountry Kaleidoscope, Riverside, and council members Ruth

Dyson, Bonita Kirtlan, Mary Ruth Mendenhall, Cindy Beard, Teresa Witkoske and a guest Sheila Sluss. Cookies for the Red Cross blood drive will be furnished by Happy Homemakers in May, Riverside in June, Liberty Bells in July, Richvalley in August, and Kountry Kaleidoscope in October. Eleven members and Teresa Witkoske attended the spring district meeting in Carroll County. Wabash County won the traveling attendance award. The total money raised for cancer research by all state extension homemakers is $123,493.99 to date. Teresa Witkoske reported that the Bunny Bash had been well attended and that the move to Charlie Creek Gardens had worked well for the event. She thanked

everyone who helped color eggs. She discussed the lessons for next year and how it would work best for our county to get them. She is not planning any lesson dates for next year, but will hand out the lessons to the club presidents at council meetings or at the extension office. There are lessons available on the IEHA website: w w w . i e h a families.org. She is willing to come to any club meeting to present a lesson and visit that club. The “Walk for Cancer Prevention” was held on Saturday, April 18, at Paradise Spring Historical Park. This walk was held in the memory of Joyce Brewer, and $1,011.05 was raised President’s luncheon/achievement day was April 23 at the Women’s Clubhouse. The theme for the day was “Read and the

World is Yours.” Colleen Coble was the speaker. A new category in cultural arts was “Handmade C h r i s t m a s Ornaments”. There will be two exhibits going to conference. Extension homemakers from Starke County were our special guests. They were our “Host a Hoosier” partner for this year. Thirty-six club members attended. State president Marcia Dodge spoke about the upcoming conference in Indianapolis. Happy Homemakers was the host club. The ladies from Starke County were taken on a tour of Wabash following the luncheon. They visited the Honeywell Center, Charlie Creek Inn, the museum, and ended at Welbrooke for supper. Items representing Wabash County are needed for a gift bas-

ket to be auctioned at the Home and Family Conference in June. Sheila Sluss talked about the gift baskets that will be auctioned at the 4-H fair. Themed baskets sell best; especially kitchen baskets, food baskets and baby items. Anyone having

items to donate are asked to contact her at 260-563-2682. K o u n t r y Kaleidoscope will serving cookies and milk at the 4-H fair again this year. The fall Craft Bazaar/Bake Sale will be on Saturday, Sept 26 at the REMC

NHS seniors begin new chapter in their lives... continued from the front page with. No body likes endings but time must go on. I am proud to announce that with this ending however, comes a new beginning. “The rest of our lives is a long time and whether you are aware or not, it is being shaped and molded by the decisions we make right now. Things aren’t always going to turn out the way that we hoped, and that is okay. There is room for mistakes and that is how we grow. “From here on out we are faced with overwhelming choices that will define whom we are as human beings … I

encourage you to keep going no matter what life throws at you.” Peterson reminded her classmates that most of them have been together for the past 13 years. “Let’s face it, we’ve all been together for 13 years, that’s a long time, and although a lot of us are just ready to get out and start our lives already, we still have a little while, so let’s cherish this moment,” she said. Peterson also looked back on the class’ first day in school. “I remember the first day of kindergarten,” she said.

“The only time I can remember us not all being friends. I was so scared and nervous. I had no idea who I was going to play with at recess, who I was going to sit by at lunch, if I was going to make any friends. “I guess you could say I was mortified, as we are at the first of everything that we do in life.” As they prepare to venture into the new chapter of their lives, that feeling of nervousness may be cropping back up among some classmates, she noted. “We’re just about to graduate and take our first steps into the world and find our place,” Peterson said. “We’re babies to the rest of the world, even though we have enough confidence to conquer the world. “Well, may be some of us do, but for me, I’m kind of scared. And I’m okay to admit it, because there’s so man y people that we’ve grown close to in our years at Northfield that care for us and that will be there to support us if we fall.” Burcroff, in is closing address, remind-

ed his classmates “there have been good and bad times throughout our high school career as there are in any school. However, out class has been able to persevere through the rough patches. We never let one hit take us down, and we make the most of what good we are given.” The hard work, he said, has led to the next chapter in their lives. “We are no longer high school seniors, but instead graduates with an infinite amount of possibilities ahead of us,” Burcroff said. “Yet no matter what path we each choose to follow, we can always look back at the good times without high school friends and the hard work and dedication the at got us where we are. “And now, looking down into our hands at this piece of paper

comed guests to the conversation with a song he wrote, looking back at several events, which took place during their high school career. The choir also per-

formed to songs, “Why We Sing” and “For the Good,” which featured several Northfield seniors performing for the school for the last time.

try meet. “Cross-country is about pushing yourself to your fullest potential and striving even further,” he said. “For the most part of high school cross country, I finished near the middle of the race. However, that is still considered an accomplishment. “The same is true in life,” he continued. “For the rest of your lives you will be competing against dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people for opportunities, jobs and quite frankly

everything else. … Just like in cross country, though, you don’t have to be the best in the world at what you do, you don’t even have to b the best in the state or county. “Whatever you choose to do in life, whether you plan on becoming a teacher, an engineer, a doctor, a dietician, a business owner or anything else, you should try and challenge yourself to do your best and keep up with a pack of runners racing toward your same goal.

behind.” Salutatorian Grace Whitham reminded her classmates that while their high school career was coming to an end, their lives were about to start anew. “For some of us, school is over and we will never have to sit through another class, write another paper, or take another test again,” she said. “But for others of us that are choosing to go to college this fall, as we turn our tassels at the end of this ceremony and are officially graduates of South wood High School, we will be freshmen again and we will get in our journey through many more years of schooling.” While she and her classmates will be going their own way, Whitham reminded them that they have one common bond.

“Although we will encounter new people, make new friends and experience new things, our roots will always be anchored in the same place,” she said. Whitham continued, “Seniors, within a few moments, we will be walking of this stage with a diploma in our hands, ready to tak eon a place called ‘the real world.’ As we do this I encourage you to chase your dreams, do what you love, and live your lives to the fullest.” Makayla Ridgeway welcomed everyone to the commencement ceremony, while Emily Lehner provided closing remarks. The band, with several seniors making their last appearance with the group, performed “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

I N F O R M AT I O N ABOUT THE OLD CARS IN MY MAY 21 HISTORY PICTURE: I had a call from Jim Eviston who said that the cars pictured in the Urbana used car lot were probably 1928 or 1929 Oaklands or Durants. I had never heard of these cars so I did a little research to see what kinds of

cars were sold in Urbana. The Oakland Motor Company was founded by Edward Murphy in 1908. In 1909 Murphy sold half of his company to William C. Durant’s General Motors. Oaklands were made until 1931 when they were absorbed into Pontiac. Durant motor cars were made and financed by Billy Durant an “ousted” member of the board of General Motors. The last Durant was made in 1931. NEWS ITEMS and/or pictures may be sent to me at 1906 N 100 W, Wabash, IN 46992-7732 or emailed to me at mamast1906@comcast.net.

But now as we all head off into a whirlwind of directions we must remember to stick together. We must not lose sight of where we came from and who was by our side throughout it all. And when we are all back home again we will pick up right where we left off.” Other lessons Stone addressed included to play fair, not to hit or hurt others, and warm milk and cookies are good for everyone. The final lesson, however, went back to the

And always take a moment to stop and look around at all that you have and all that you have coming your way.” In the closing speech, Claire Cromer summarized Stone’s sentiment by saying, “We will all take away memories from Wabash High School, but we’ll never forget the lessons we learned along the way.

A familiar taste of Italy returns to Wabash By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Previously local Italian restaurant Mike’s Little Italy is returning to Wabash later this week for two-night only dining event at the Wabash Elks Lodge. Myrna Pavlick, the previous owner’s daughter, will be coming back to her childhood town to cook for two Little Italy nights and brining back all

the town’s favorites on Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday. The idea for the event occurred after Pavlick made a visit home in 2014 and asked her friends on Facebook if anyone would like some lasagna, she said. “I got so many orders, I barely had room for people in the car,” Pavlick continued. “So after people saying, ‘Oh I wish I could get a roast beef

sandwich’ or ‘God, I wish I could get that prime rib,’ I thought, you know, I’m just going to see if I can find a little place and do a Little Italy night for a couple of nights when I’m there.” The menu for the event includes lasagna, spaghetti, a combined order of spaghetti and

lasagna, roast beef sandwich, meatball sandwich, prime rib, rib eye, small relish tray, and toast and cheese dip. Pavlick will be donating 10 percent of the proceeds to local charities. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are preferred. Throwback Thursday

Norse upset Norwell, fall to Bellmont By Gary Andrews The Northfield baseball team showed once again the old saying of “that’s why they play the game” as they took on 3A, No.2 Norwell in the 3A sectional at Bellmont. With Remington Monce dealing on the mound the Norse kept everyone wondering how long they could stay with the Knights before a two run shot by Shane Vigar in the 5th ignited the smell of an upset as the Norse pulled it off 4-3. The Norse would take a 1-0 lead in the first when Adam Roser led off with a single before a strike out and a fly out looked like the Norse would stall. Shane Vigar then ripped a double to center, scoring Roser for the 1-0

lead. Norwell would plate two runs in the top of the third to grab a 2-1 lead with the Norse answering in the bottom. Roser would hit a one out double with Dylan Brown advancing Roser to third with a ground ball. Drake Richter then singled home Roser as the Norse tied the score at two. Monce would get through the fourth and fifth, hoping his team would take advantage and they did in the fifth. With two outs Drake Richter doubled and was followed by Shane Vigar hitting a two run home run over the right center fence as the Norse were starting to make believers in the crowd with a 4-2 lead. Norwell would threaten in the sixth

when they loaded the bases with two outs before Monce recorded his third strike out of the inning to get out of the jam. The Norse would go down in order in the bottom of the inning to set up the exciting seventh. Norwell led off with a single before a Monce strike out. On top of the strike out the runner broke for second with Bryce Kendall gunning him down for the second out and no one on. The Knights were ranked No.2 for a reason and regrouped with two outs score a run and had the bases loaded when Monce threw a 2-2 breaking ball to strike out the final out in the 4-3 upset. The Northfield baseball team fell to Bellmont 8-2 on May 25 in its final regular

Wabash boys fall in sectional opener By Gary Andrews The Wabash baseball team opened the Wabash sectional Wednesday hosting Oak Hill. In a low scoring affair the Eagles scored a run in the sixth to defeat Wabash 2-1. Oak Hill scored in the first to take a 1-0 lead and it wasn’t until the fourth

when the Apaches tied the game. With two outs Austin Hostetler singled and stole second before a Jordan Burnsworth single drove Hostetler home to tie the score. Oak Hill would plate its second run in the sixth on a single, a walk and an error to take the 2-1 lead before holding

the Apaches in the 7th. Wabash collected just four hits with Treavor Floor hitting a single in the first. Austin Hostetler and Jordan Burnsworth singled in the 4th and Ben Dillon a single in the seventh. Wabash pitcher Jordan Burnsworth held Oak Hill to five hits.

After defeating No.2 Norwell Friday the Norse had another shot at the Braves on Saturday in the semifinals of the sectional with the results being exactly the same in an 8-2 loss.

Although the game was at Bellmont the Norse were the home team on the scoreboard with the game being scoreless until the third. Bellmont would plate 3 runs on 3 hits in the top of the inning to grab the

lead with the Norse now having to play catch up. In the bottom of the inning Adam Roser led off with a triple and was knocked home by a Dylan Brown single to make it 3-1. After two ground outs and

Brown standing on third, Bryce Kendall singled to make it 3-2. The Braves would add a run in the fourth and fifth to stretch the lead to 5-2, then add 3 more in the seventh for the 8-2 final.

Lady Squires win first sectional title By Gary Andrews It took the Manchester Lady Squires nine innings to get it done, but get it done they did winning the Lewis Cass softball sectional 2-1 in nine innings over Oak Hill Thursday to win the Squires first ever softball sectional. Sydney Day scored twice for the Squires, once in the fifth and the winning run on a wild pitch in the ninth. Squire pitcher Brooklyn Howard was dealing on the mound, but so was Oak Hill pitcher Maria Buckler with neither team plating a run the first four innings. The Squires did threaten in the first when Sydney Day led off with a single and was followed by a Brooklyn Howard single with the Squires not being able to capitalize. In the bottom of the fifth the Squires would score the first run of the game. With one out Day belted a double followed by a Howard double to score Day. Oak Hill would tie the game in the top of the seventh with the Squires having a shot to win the game in the bottom. Day led off with a single and was followed by a Howard walk

Sydney Day celebrates after stealing home for the winning run in the sectional championship. Photo by Gary Andrews before the Eagles worked their way out of the jam to force extra innings. Oak Hill threatened in the top of the 8th, putting two runners on before Howard forced a grounder and a fly out to get out of the jam, but the Squires couldn’t score the run they needed in the bottom of the inning as the game

headed for the ninth. Howard would force three straight ground outs to second baseman Cierra Carter in the ninth to set up the exciting finish in the bottom of the inning. Again it was Sydney Day leading off and reaching base before two fly outs looked like the Squires would strand a runner again. Celina

Carter would then hit a grounder to third that was bobbled and on the throw to first Day took third. With Ellie Milam at the plate, the third pitch got past the catcher with Day racing home for the championship run. Manchester plays Southmont Tuesday at Crawfordsville in the regional.

Weekley distinguished as shooter By Adam B. Smith news@thepaperofwabash.com Annie get your gun, because Jessica Weekley is looking for a shootout. The Cimarron Firearms Company selected Jessica, an eighth grader at Southwood JuniorSenior High School, to join the 2015 group of Cimarron and Pietta’s Young Guns program. The program selects six high-achieving students ages 13-18 from across the U.S. who regularly participate in their local Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) clubs. Jessica began participating in 4-H Club shooting sports in 2011, and she said she heard about SASS, an organization that practices cowboy action shooting, through some of her fellow 4-H’ers. Cowboy action shooting is a timedshooting sport in which participants use a pistol, rifle and shotgun to shoot targets at Old West themed courses. Participants take on Old West names as well as dress for the competitions. Jessica took inspiration for her name “Little Red Sure Shot” from her role model Annie Oakley, she said. Oakley, a legendary American sharpshooter, went by the name “Little Sure Shot.” In sixth grade, Jessica’s teacher had her study Oakley for a class report, and Weekley said she has been a fan ever since. “[My teacher] thought that I would enjoy Annie Oakley because she knew that I did shooting and that I enjoyed that,” she said. “She was a lot like me, and we have the same interests.” Weekley participates in the Young Gun category, competing with other shooters ages 1417. George Gardineer, Jessica’s shooting mentor, said she’s in the top 2 or 3 percent of shooters in her age group. “She looks like she was born with her shotgun in her hand,” Gardineer said. “She just does exceptionally well.” Gardineer said he helped put together Wabash’s SASS club at Bass & Bucks called the B & B Vigilantes. The club holds competitions on the second Sunday of each month.

MutualFirst announces increased earnings per share By The Paper staff MUNCIE — M u t u a l F i r s t Financial, Inc., the holding company of MutualBank, announced net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 increased to $2.5 million, or 34 cents for basic and 33 cents for diluted earnings per common share. This is compared to net income available to common shareholders during the same period in 2014 of $2.0 million, or 28 cents for basic and 27 cents for diluted earnings per common share. Annualized return on assets was .70 percent and return on average tangible common equity was 7.9 percent percent for the first quarter of 2015 compared to .58 percent and 7.18 percent, respectively, for the same period of last year. Financial highlights for the first

quarter ended March 31, 2015 included: Increased the common stock dividend by 20 percent. Strong loan growth in strategic areas. Non-real estate consumer loans grew at an annualized rate of 21.0 percent and commercial loans grew at an annualized rate of 8.7 percent. Net recoveries totaled $49,000 for the first quarter of 2015; compared to net charge offs of $392,000, or 0.16 percent of loans on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 2014. Core deposits continued to increase. Core transactional deposit accounts increased $18.1 million to 64 percent of total deposits. Net interest income increased $99,000 compared to the first quarter of 2014. Non-interest income for the quar-

ter ended March 31, 2015 increased $1.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to an increase in gains on sale of loans. “We are pleased with the continued momentum in earnings and loan growth,” said David W. Heeter, President and CEO. “We believe this momentum will continue as we embark on a new strategic plan.” In the first quarter of 2015, the Bank elected an accounting change to better align the recognition of low income housing tax credits and the corresponding amortization of the low income housing from the equity method of accounting to a proportional method of amortization. This change has been made retrospective and all comparisons in this release are as if this change was made at the beginning of 2014.

WABASH — By raising $41,500 so far in a major scholarship fund drive, Ivy Tech Community College’s Wabash Campus leaders are happy to announce they have earned the $20,000 match offered by representatives of the Pauline Barker Educational Trust and exceeded the $60,000 goal set last year. “We are so excited that members of the Wabash community have come together in support of our overall effort to raise $60,000 for scholarships for Wabash County residents attending Ivy Tech Community College in the Kokomo Region,” said Pam Guthrie, executive director of the Wabash Campus. “With money raised at our recent Monopoly Night and a wide range of prior donations, we exceeded the $20,000 needed to receive the Pauline Barker Trust match,” Guthrie continued. “It is gratifying to know we have such great community support and we are keeping the campaign open until June 30 so people who still want to participate can be part of

this great effort.” Chuck Huffman of the Trust Division at First Merchants Bank, representative of the Pauline Barker Educational Trust, announced the challenge grant last December to serve as an incentive for others to support the scholarship fund drive. “Thanks to the generosity of the people of Wabash County, we are glad that our challenge has been met and that we were able to help take the campaign over its $60,000 goal,” Huffman said. “We believe strongly in Ivy Tech’s importance to Wabash County and the value that scholarships provided by this fund will provide to students from our area.” Kelly Karickhoff, executive director of Resource Development for Ivy Tech’s Kokomo Region, said the $20,000 matching grant from the trust will be used to create the Pauline Barker Scholarship and recipients will be referred to as “Pauline Barker Scholars.” Criteria to be considered includes living in Wabash County and attending a Kokomo Region campus or instructional site with preference given to

students attending the Wabash Campus and who submit a general essay along with the Ivy Tech scholarship application. “We are pleased to recognize Miss Barker through the naming of this scholarship opportunity,” Karickhoff said. The Pauline Barker Education Trust, honored in 2012 as Ivy Tech Benefactor of the Year, gave its first gift to Ivy Tech in 1991. Since that time, income from the now$1.7 million fund has provided more than half a million dollars to benefit the Ivy Tech Wabash Campus and help Wabash County adults attain the education and skills they need to succeed in the workplace. The trust was established by the late Pauline J. Barker, a life-long resident of Wabash County who, for 45 years, managed the Rock City Café in Wabash. Seeing the need for adult education in the Wabash community, she decided to form a trust to support “basic literacy education, adult education, vocational training and retraining of youth, adults … and for the granting of scholarships to qualified applicants for education beyond

high school level who would not otherwise have the capability of obtaining vocational or academic training in occupations useful to society.” The campaign is headed up by a committee of Wabash County leaders that includes Annalee Benedict, Dr. John (Hap) and Jane Dragoo, Howard Halderman and Jay Vandeburg. Along with Guthrie, Karickhoff and Wabash Campus faculty member Jerry Perkins, committee members are out in the community soliciting contributions as they share the importance of supporting higher education in Wabash County. Contributions to the fund drive are made through the Ivy Tech Foundation, which covers administrative costs so the full donation goes to student scholarships. For more information on the fund drive or to arrange a tour of the Wabash Campus, contact Pam Guthrie at 260-563-8828, ext. 302, o r pguthrie@ivytech.edu or Kelly Karickhoff at 765-459-0561, ext. 382, o r kkarickhoff@ivytech. edu .

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

Indiana Conservation Officers investigated an early morning boat accident Saturday, May 30, at Mississinewa Reservoir and subsequently jailed the operator Adam B. Childers, 29, of Kokomo for operating a motorboat while intoxicated. At approximately 5:58 a.m. the Wabash County Sheriffs Dept. received a 911 call from other boaters

stating there was a wrecked boat on the shore of the reservoir with nobody around. Eventually the same 911 caller found Childers several yards from the boat in the water. Conservation Officers responded along with the Sheriffs Department and Wabash City Fire Department and brought Childers and his boat which sustained extensive damage to the Red Bridge boat ramp. Cpl.

Jon Engle determined that Childers had been the lone person on the boat at the time of the accident and he appeared intoxicated. There were no witnesses to the accident so it is unknown exactly what occurred and how Childers ended up in the water. Childers was unable to tell investigators how the accident occurred. Childers was uninjured in the accident. The damage on the boat consisted of a

torn away lower unit and propeller and both floats on the pontoon boat were damaged and taking on water. Childers was transported to the Wabash County Jail where Officer Jerry Hoerdt administered a datamaster test to Childers, who tested .24% and was booked into the jail on the charge of operating a motorboat while intoxicated which is a Class C Misdemeanor.

House fire under investigation By The Paper staff Wabash firefighters are investigating a Thursday night fire

that occurred at 336 N. Fisher St. The fire, reported at 7:46 p.m., was extinguished by 7:55 p.m.,

according to Fire Chief Bob Mullett. The fire appears to have started in the back porch of the resi-

dence.. Firefighters estimated damage at $7,000.

Sagamore Council honors Scouts, leaders Article provided

On Tuesday, April 28, the Sagamore Council Boy Scouts of America had its annual business meeting and volunteer recognition dinner at the Trails Banquet Facility. During the business portion of the meeting, reports were given on the state of the council, membership statistics, and finances.

Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District, Wabash County, Indiana, (herein after the “District”), will receive sealed bids from persons or entities desiring to provide recyclable materials collection and transportation services to Wabash County for a two (2) year period with an option to renew for a third year. Copies of the required bid package, including specifications and a prospective form of a contract to be executed by the winning bidder, are available in District’s office at 1101 Manchester Avenue, Wabash, Indiana 46992. Bids may be submitted to the District office until the commencement of the Board of Directors Meeting of the District, (herein after the “Board”), to be held at the District office on July 13, 2015 at 1:00 P.M. Wabash time. Bids must be submitted not later than the commencement of the Board of Directors meeting to be held July 13, 2015 in the Conference Room of the District office at 1101 Manchester Avenue, Wabash, Indiana 46992 at 1:00 P.M. local time. Bids must be sealed and addressed to the District and plainly marked “Proposal for Collection and Processing of Recyclable Material Contract 2016-2018”. Bids not received before the commencement of this meeting will not be considered and will be returned unopened. Bids will be opened at this meeting. A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held at 1:00P.M. prevailing local time, on June 8, 2015 at the District office, 1101 Manchester Avenue, Wabash, Indiana. This meeting will serve to register prospective bidders and provide District personnel to answer any questions developed by prospective bidders in their reading of the Request for Proposals. At this meeting prospective bidders will be able to schedule a time and dates to visit District recyclables collection sites and familiarize themselves with the rural recycling drop-off program. This site visit is mandatory for all prospective bidders, failure to attend is not an immaterial defect, and will result in a bid being rejected. All bids shall be accompanied by a certified check or bidder’s bond for 10% of the bid amount; non-collusion affidavit; financial statement; statement of experience; the equipment available for the performance of the work; and, the bidder’s plans for performing the work payable to the District; all on forms approved by the State Board of Accounts and available from the District office. All forms may be picked up with the proposed recycle collection agreement. The Bid Bond (or check) shall guarantee that if the bid is accepted, the bidder will execute the Contract, which is distributed as a part of the package, in substantially the same form excepted edited to conform to the terms of the proposal, within sixty (60) days of its award. Failure or refusal of the successful bidder to enter in the Contract within sixty (60) days of award will result in the forfeiture of the Bid Bond (or check) to the District as liquidated damages. Forfeiture of the security shall be the sole remedy of the District. Award of the Contract may then be made to the next most qualified bidder or the work re-advertised for bids, at the sole determination of the District. The Bid Bond of all bidders will be held until the Contract is executed. If no bid has been selected within one-hundred and twenty (120) days of the opening of bids, securities will be returned upon demand of any bidder at any time thereafter, provided that he or she has not been notified of the acceptance of his or her bid. Each bid is to be accompanied by a certificate of insurance, evidencing the coverage set forth in the Contract Specifications and naming the District as Co-Insured. In lieu of the certificate, the bidder may submit evidence that, in the event that award of the Contract is made to the bidder, the required coverage would be in place prior to the execution of the Contract. A performance bond or, in the event the contract price is less than $250,000.00, an irrevocable letter of credit, shall also be required as provided in Indiana Code 36-1-12-14 (E) through (G). Bids will be reviewed based on the following criteria: (1) attendance at the mandatory pre-bid meeting; (2) responsiveness of the bidder to the needs of the District; (3) experience of the bidder in operating recycling collection programs; (4) the District’s confidence in the bidder’s ability to perform the work to the satisfaction of the District; (5) impact of the proposal on the overall system of integrated solid waste management in the District; and (6) price per ton (recovered) bid. Any exceptions or modifications to the specifications or prospective form of the recycle collection agreement shall be included in the bid. By submission of a bid, bidders agree that bids shall remain open for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days. The District reserves the right to reject any and all bids, to waive irregularities in the bidding process and to accept or reject exceptions to the specifications. Pursuant to I.C. 5-22-3-5, a bid submitted by a trust (as defined in I.C. 30-4-11(A)) must identify each: (1) beneficiary of the trust; and (2) Settlor empowered to revoke or modify the trust.
