More than 175 people gathered at the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall on Tuesday night to hear the presentation commissioned by the MSD of Wabash County school district with Yager
Educational Services. The 35-minute presentation looked at the various questions asked of some 512 administrators, teachers, students, taxpayers and others who participated in a series of interviews around the district the last several weeks. While the study didn’t provide the dis-
trict with any specific answers as to what its future might hold, it did provide the school board with a series of questions to contemplate before making any decisions. The biggest question, of course, is whether the school district should consolidate.
Dr. Steve Yager told The Paper of Wabash County that the question of consolidation came up in about 80 percent of the interviews conducted. However, he quickly pointed out, the interviews didn’t pinpoint a specific direction the district should take. A variety of consol-

NORTH MANCHESTER — There’s a story Andrew Young likes to tell about his late wife, Jean Childs Young, an anecdote he feels is symbolizes what she meant to him. Long before Young was the Mayor of Atlanta,
Ga., and an ambassador to the United Nations, he was a wet-behind-the-ears young man who was tasked to run a voter registration drive in Thomasville, Ga., in 1955. Coming into town, the couple encountered what felt like 1,000 Ku Klux Klansmen, but he estimated it was more like 100. “I realized they were probably coming to (continued on page 7)
A former billing clerk at the City of Wabash’s Wastewater Treatment Plant has changed her plea in Wabash County Circuit Court. The former clerk, Angelina Monroe, 39, withdrew her not guilty plea and entered a guilty plea to one count of theft on Monday afternoon, Oct. 1. In exchange for the guilty plea, charges of official misconduct, corrupt business influence and a second theft charge would be dropped. Under the agreement, which was taken under advisement by Circuit Court Judge Robert McCallen III, Monroe would face between two and four years in the Indiana Department of
(continued on page 4)
Corrections. Monroe was charged with taking more than $150,000 in payments from the Wastewater Treatment Plant over nearly a four-year period. Under terms of the agreement, Monroe has agreed to make restitutions to the city and the state. In addition, the agreement also doesn’t absolve her of any civil action which the city, state or State Board of Accounts may pursue against her. A special investigation by the Indiana State Board of Accounts (SBOA) in 2017 into the City of Wabash’s Wastewater Billing Department has found $152,127.54 unaccounted for, according to a report issued by the SBOA.

County Council adopts 2019 budget By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Council passed the 2019 budget Monday night, Sept. 25 by a 5-1 vote, a budget totaling $19,427,009. Matt Dillion was the dissenting vote and Matt Mize wasn’t present at the meeting. Dillon discussed his issues with the budget
with the media following the meeting. He had proposed adding a dispatcher to the Central Dispatch roster, but was turned down 2-4. He also doesn’t understand how the county can continue to spend more money year after year with a decline in population. “I wanted to see that extra dispatcher in there. That was big for me,” Dillon said.
“I’ve been through this process four times now, and I’ve seen – I think two years ago we adopted a budget with $8.5 million in the general fund. In 2018, it was $10.2 (million). That’s a large increase as far as revenue comes. I know that some of that got taken from when income tax was changed, CAGIT was rolled into property tax revenue. But as we move forward, it looked like the property tax replacement credits that got taken away didn’t change too much on the revenue side. It made me question the whole point of it, certified shares. I don’t understand where why we have so much increase over three years.”
The budget itself came in at $104,811 over max levy, a fact that chairman Randy Curless was not overly concerned with. “We know where we can cut if the DLGF comes back and says so,” Curless said. “Last year we were over also, and as it turned out, once they got their numbers in, we could’ve actually gone over a little more. We want to take advantage of getting all the money that is available to the county. We want to make sure that we get everything that is available to us. We take into account – we know where we can get that money. There’s areas where we can come back and cut quickly should we need to.

another school district, a combination of school districts or by itself. The time it will take to see what the board does based upon the study also is unknown, Yager said. “It kind of depends from board to board,� he said. “This board will have to determine how urgent some of these things are that were reported on this evening.� MSD Board President Kevin Bowman said the next step would be a board decision. “What I would like to see,� he continued, “would be to offer an invitation for Dr. Yager to come in and have a frank discussion with our board
in executive session, hopefully. In a sense, hear him out.� Yager and his associate, Rick Vorick, briefly discussed the various questions asked of the 512 individuals during the interviews. They then provided some of the answers given to them during the process. Yager described the study as a “qualitative study, not a quantitative study.� “Quantitative is numbers and data,� he said. “How ma ny people check this box; how many checked that box? We’ve got comments from students in third grade to seniors to millennials, to taxpayers, to people who don’t have
anybody in school, who never have had and who never will have.� It is now up to the board and the administration to vet out the responses and find the advantages and disadvantages for the aforementioned options, Yager said. Something else that needs to be worked on, Yager and Vorick believe, is the dissemination of correct information to the public. “They can’t make that decision until they have all the information,� Vorick said. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there. Is it going to raise our taxes? Some people are saying if we consolidate,

Wabash will get off free and we’ll end up picking up all the costs of everything. That information needs to go out before anyone can make an intelligent decision.� “In my opinion, that’s their first challenge for transparency, getting all that put out there.� Bowman said he hopes the board will have more public meetings. “I think the public deserves it once we, in some sense, gather more information,� he said. “I’ve kind of lived this thing for a number of years, so I have to realize they haven’t had the information I’ve had to look at.�

How to improve The pair received a wide range of responses to the question of how the district could improve. “The number one thing we heard from the kids, from the students, is to increase academic selections and opportunities for them,” Vorick said. “Across the board, at all schools, that was the number one think that came across to us. Not only the academics, but also the opportunities, especially some of the fine arts opportunities. “Drama programs have been dropped. Band programs have been dropped. There are a lot of kids out there that that’s their niche. There’s a lot of students out there that would like to see

more opportunities out there, not just the higher academic classes, but also some of the other selections as well.” Students also should be put first in all decisions, the pair noted. “Look at what is being offered for our children and how can we make that better for our kids so that they can be prepared to go where ever they want to go, be it college or into some trade,” Vorick said. That’s not necessarily happening now, Vorick and Yager told The Paper following the presentation. “There’s a significant number of parents and students out there who can give testimonials about what their kids are not receiving in schools,” Yager said. “How they go to Purdue and they’re not caught up with their peers and colleagues who come in from across the state, across the nation, across the world, and they’re ready for that advanced biology class. We didn’t have a chance to take it. Those are things the board knows about and they’re going to have to pursue it. That’s the reason they said consolidation.” Other ways to improve the district, participants told Yager and Vorick, is to improve board trust and transparency. “That is a number one concern from a lot of the people that we interviewed,”
Vorick said. “Whatever is being done by the school board needs to be done in a very transparent and open way.” Concern about losing staff members because of salary and fringe benefits is something that district officials need to work on improving, the survey showed. “A lot of the staff members are hanging on because they love this school district and the small school atmosphere,” Yager said. “they’re not sure how much longer they can hold on if they can drive 15 minutes and get an $8,000 raise.” Consolidation While most of those
interviewed thought some form of consolidation was necessary, one specific answer was not ascertained. The discussion of the various options did draw some remarks. For example, working toward sharing services is something patrons believe should be happening now, Yager said. Building a new high school, he noted, discussing option F, would cost between $40 and $50 million. As far as other options discussed by patrons, several said the administration should be consolidated while leaving the three high schools alone. Others suggested transferring Wabash City students
to either Northfield or Southwood, and convert the existing Wabash High School into the Heartland Career Center. Consolidation, Vorick said, has been discussed for many years. “One student said that they’ve been talking about this since she was in the fourth grade, and she’s a senior now,” he noted. But before patrons can make up their minds, many told Yager and Vorick that there are questions they would like to see answered, including: What is Wabash City Schools’ attrition rate?

agreed MSD had a great staff. “I will tell you,” Yager said, “Rick and I have 41 years in education and we saw really solid education, solid instruction going on.” Participants, they continued, also loved the small school atmosphere and said the administration is respected. Those interviewed also believed the schools are in good shape, with the exception of Sharp Creek which, Yager noted, could use some attention. The Heartland Career Center also received high marks, Yager said. “People look at that and realize what a great asset that is,” he said. Vorick added, “Heartland is a great asset to the community, but probably could be utilized even more by doing some cooperative efforts by not only north and south, but by the city as well.” The schools also are viewed as a safe environment. “It didn’t make any difference to the young people – by the way we talked to third graders through seniors; not all the third graders and not all the seniors, about seven or eight per grade level – if they had a thought or concern, they could go to any adult in the building share thoughts and concerns with them. “That’s a power statement from students.”

What are the opinions of local elected officials in regard to consolidation. Yager and Vorick shared some of the public’s responses about consolidation. “When student academic needs are considered, most will support some form of consolidation,” one person told them. Another said, “We all know each other. We are one community. We attend church together, our children participate in community sports activities together, we shop together, we work together, we come together as a community to support any
athletic team headed to state playoffs and our kids now each other through community activities and social media. When conversation turns to schools, the community becomes divided.” In the end, Yager and Vorick said, everyone must set aside their prejudices, preconceived opinions, thoughts and ideas and their love of school colors and mascots. “If it does come down to consolidation, the past is the past,” Vorick said. “We need to look at what is best for our kids.”
Yager also stressed the importance of making a decision that is logical and void of emotion, reminding all involved that any decision must be made for the benefit of the children. “As a senior at Northfield said, ‘Just make a decision,’ make a decision,” he said. “Let’s move on.” Any decision, Vorick warned, won’t please everyone. But, Yager believes the district and patrons has the passion, potential and talent to move forward on whatever decision the board reaches.

MU dedicates Intercultural Center Thomasville, Ga., to see us,” Young said. “Well I went to seminary after the Second World War when people were talking about negotiating from a position of strength.” And he looked at Jean and said “look, were living in this little shack, if they do so much as throw a cigarette up here the place will go up in smoke. I’m going to go talk to them if they come to us. But, Young said to Jean that he wanted
her to sit in the window with a rifle, and point it at the man he was talking to. “And then I can negotiate from a position of strength,” he said with a laugh. “She said ‘I can do that.’ I said ‘you’re a better shot than I am.’ She said ‘but I can’t point a gun at another human being.’ “I said ‘baby that’s the Ku Klux Klan!’ She said ‘yes and you’re supposed to be a preacher.’ “I said ‘what’s that
got to do with it? She said ‘if you ever forget that under that sheet is the heart of a child of God, you don’t need to preach.’ “She stopped me and made me take my faith seriously” The embodiment of that spirit was on full display Saturday, Sept. 29 at M a n c h e s t e r University, where officials dedicated the new Intercultural Center to Jean Childs Young. The event was part of the universi-
ty’s annual Homecoming celebration. “Today, we gather to dedicate the Jean Childs Intercultural Center as the current expression of our lasting commitment to inclusion and d i v e r s i t y, ” M a n c h e s t e r University President Dave McFadden said. A 1954 graduate of Manchester, Childs Young had a distinguished career as a teacher and served as an advocate for educa-
tion, children’s welfare and civil rights. She worked alongside Young as he went on to become U.S. Ambassador and the Mayor of Atlanta. He also worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during that time, taking part in the famous Selma March. Childs Young’s efforts did not go unnoticed. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter appointed her as chair of the U.S. Commission of the

She also established the Atlanta Task Force on Education, served as co-founder of the Atlanta-Fulton Commission on Children and Youth, and helped develop Atlanta Junior College. She served Manchester as a trustee from 1975 to 1979 and received an honorary doctorate from Manchester in 1980. She died of liver
cancer in 1994 at the age of 61. The 5,000 square foot building includes a circular domed space named the Toyota Round. Toyota made a $250,000 donation to help this major undertaking by the university. Programming at the Center, which the Afro House served as a predecessor, will focus on diversity and inclusion, civic engagement, and building diverse communities.
Wabash woman to mark 100th birthday Gwen Dixon has done quite a bit in her lifetime. Born on Oct. 30, 1918, the longtime Wabash County resident will mark her 100th birthday later this month. She was born on a Huntington County farm and moved to Wabash County in 1941 when she married her now-late husband, Louis. She’s lived here ever since then, except for about 18 months when she and her husband lived in California during World War II. “I was Rosie the Riveter,” she said. She worked riveting pieces in place on P-38 Lightning aircraft at Lockheed, while her husband worked as a mechanic on similar planes. He was eventually sent overseas with the U.S.
Air Force, and Mrs. Dixon returned to Wabash. Today, she and her younger sister, Jean Leakey, 92, share a home in Wabash. “I was a beautician,” Mrs. Dixon said. “Jean was a nurse. She kept them well and I kept them pretty.” There are several things to which Mrs. Dixon attributes her longevity. “You have to have faith,” she said. “You have to keep active. We were raised on a farm, so we know what work is. “And, we have a large family that enjoys being together.” Today, Mrs. Dixon and her sister are regular visitors to the Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center, where they go and play cards. When not playing at the Center, they are generally playing against one another,

It was a tale of turnovers for Northfield’s football team in Friday night’s football clash with Maconaquah at Northfield. Trailing just 15-13 at the half, the Norse (3-4) gave up a 48 yard interception return for a touchdown, and then a 45 yard fumble return for a touchdown to give Maconaquah a 30-13 advantage and eventually a 37-20 victory. Northfield was intercepted once, and fumbled five times, losing two. Cole Rosen scored on a 90-yard kickoff return for the Norse. Levi Fulkerson found paydirt on a one yard plunge, and Jarret Shafer added a one-yard touchdown run in the loss. Fulkerson led the ground added with 27 carries for 100 yards. Fulkerson was also 3-of-13 through the air for 37 yards and an interception. North Miami 32, Wabash 19 The Apaches (1-6) got on the board first with a Jared Holley 23-yard run. North Miami scored the next four touchdowns to take control of the contest. Kallen Kelsheimer scored on a one-yeard run for Wabash, and Holley added a 12-yard run to round out the scoring for the Apaches. Holley was 8-of-23 through the air for 83 yards, and added 16 carries for 71 yards and a pair of scores. Kelsheimer led Wabash on the ground with 21 carries for 80 yards. Logan Vander Velden led the receiving corps
with five catches for 66 yards. Southwood 55, Peru 0 The Class A No.-4 ranked Knights stayed unbeaten on the year at 7-0 with a 55-0 whitewashing of the Bengal Tigers on senior night. Gabe Lloyd ran for five touchdowns to lead the Southwood offensive attack. Jackson Simons added two receiving touchdowns and returned an interception 106 yards for a touchdown. Southwood out-gained Peru 340-163 as the Knights built a 34-0 lead by halftime and never looked back. Southwood will play Maconaquah with first place in the Three Rivers Conference south division lead on the line Friday at Maconaquah. Whitko 46, Manchester 28 The Wildcats used a 24point second quarter to run out to a 32-14 halftime lead, taking control of the contest. Quarterback Devin Marcum was 10-of-26 through the air for 121 yards with a touchdown and interception for the Squires (2-5). Delton Moore led the ground attack with 20 carries for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Marcum added a touchdown run in the loss. Freshman Seth Gaerte had two catches for 31 yards and a touchdown to highlight the receiving corps.

guys in baseball gets to go back to the playoffs due to the Milwaukee Brewers qualifying. Congrats to longtime broadcaster Bob Uecker! This from Tim Kurkjian of ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight”: Stephen Fife hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2014, Darwin Barney did not play this year. We’ve lost hope of ever seeing a BarneyFife at-bat. It came so close in 2013, but Barney got the day off the day Fife started for the Dodgers against the Cubs. Nip it, nip it, nip it in the bud!!!! Max Scherzer only needs to average 326.5 strikeouts over the
BILL BARROWS next 10 seasons to tie Nolan Ryan’s all-time record. Scherzer reached the 300 in a season milestone this week. That’s how dominant Ryan was in an era where we didn’t monitor pitchers by pitch counts. The Tampa Bay Rays had a successful season by every measure and yet are 10
games out of second place and 18 games out of first place in the East and seven back in Wild Card and eliminated from all post season possibilities. The Indiana Pacers have picked up the team options on the contracts of T.J. Leaf (third year) and Domantas Sabonis (fourth year). Looking forward to the start of the season. Tuesday last, Joey Gallo of the Rangers hit his 40th HR and struck out for the 200th time. Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees and Yoan Moncada of the White Sox also have 200, marking the first season ever with three,
200 strikeout guys. Players would rather hit homers and strike out than get on base and score runs. We used to have three or four guys strikeout 200 guys. Baseball is upside down. After watching the “ESPN E:60” featuring Sammy Sosa wearing a wild red sports coat, my wife remarked, that his jacket was pretty wild, “Cam Newton would not approve!” Hmmm…….She’s paying more attention tham I thought! IU freshman Romeo Langford was asked his goal for the upcoming season: “My goal is to win a national championship. I don’t go into
any season just trying to win a couple games. I go to win the whole championship.” I like this kid already. Mookie Betts of the Red Sox became only the 59th player in MLB history to hit 30 homers and steal 30 bases in the same season this past week. His mother says that when he was born she had hopes he would play pro baseball. His full given name of Markus Lynn Betts (MLB) is apparent evidence of that. Thought for the week: Everyday someone does something great. Today, make that someone be you.— Lou Holtz

NORTH MANCHESTER — Many people ask “What is a Hoosier?” — and while the term’s origins may be up for debate, a traveling
exhibit from the Indiana Historical Society (IHS) looks at how people with many different backgrounds have come to take pride in the nickname. Through Oct. 16, the
North Manchester Historical Society is hosting the exhibit “Who Is a Hoosier?” at the North Manchester Center for History, located at 122 E. Main St., North Manchester. The traveling exhibit uses maps and informational graphics to highlight the statistical impact of changing ethnic groups over time. It shows how the comings and goings of
newcomers to the state, through immigration or migration, have created the Indiana we know today—and will continue to shape its future. In addition, photographs from various IHS collections and from institutions across the state bring to life the personal stories of immigration. The exhibit is made possible by Kroger.
For more information about this exhibit, call 260-982-0672 or visit nmanchesterhistory.org. The Center offers free admission so all community members can enjoy its exhibits, including this one. Many people enjoy stopping at the museum during Harvest Festival, October 6, to see new exhibits and join in special games and activities held for the festival.

representatives of Grow Wabash County, cut the ribbon in front of the building, located in the Wabash Crossing plaza just north of U.S. 24. The couple also owns the Huntington Wings Etc. “Since opening in Huntington we’ve always wanted to come to Wabash,” Burcroff told The Paper of Wabash County following the
c e r e m o n y . “Economic conditions didn’t allow for it in 2008 after we opened in Huntington. “It was always something we wanted to do, and finally, the moment was right.” The restaurant has approximately 30 employees. “We’re happy with the results and sales levels,” Burcroff said. “We’re always
looking to improve our customer service, both from the server side and the kitchen. That’s going to be our primary focus over the next couple of months.” There are currently 64 Wings Etc. opened, with more than 100 franchises sold, he noted. “They’ll be new stores open in Marion, Rochester, there’s already one open in Peru, and Warsaw,” Burcroff said. “Corporate headquarters are in Fort Wayne. It originated out of South Bend.” Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County, thanked all for attending the event. “It’s always a good day when you can have a ribbon cutting for Grow Wabash County and have a new business in the
community as well,” he said. “This was a project when Bryan first approached us and talked about bringing a Wings Etc. here, we got real excited real quick about it. “We definitely know there was an opportunity, and I think the consumers, the people who live here, what’s the next thing that’s coming in? What’s the next thing that will bring an option to us for dining. It will fill a need that really wasn’t filled here with kind of that sports bar atmosphere.” Wings Etc. opened Aug. 28. Hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays.

County students get closer look at agriculture By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Fourth grade students from around Wabash County got a little taste of life on the farm on Tuesday, Sept. 25, during the annual Ag Day. Students spent the entire day moving among 18 stations where they were able to learn different aspects of agriculture. The event was sponsored by the Wabash County Farm Bureau and the Purdue C o o p e r a t i v e Extension Service. “What we’re trying to do is educate 450 Wabash fourth graders about agriculture and advocating for agriculture,” Mark York, Wabash County Farm Bureau president, told The Paper of Wabash County. “Sometimes this is the only exposure that these kids get to agriculture and where their food actually comes from.” The station topics
ranged from typical farm-related issues such as swine, beef, farm equipment, crops and land erosion. However, this year there were several other areas to go with the changing technology in agriculture, such as biosecurity, drones and robotics. “This year we’re doing it a little differently so we get more exposure to agriculture,” York said. In past years, students spent about 10 minutes per station. This year, that time has increased to 15. “It doesn’t sound like a lot, but it is,” York said. “We get a short amount of times with these kids, so they get to learn quite a bit about each individual station.” Another change this year is all the school districts are at the Wabash County Fairgrounds participating in the event at the same time. In years past, there were morning and afternoon sessions. “So, each instruc-
tor had to give their lesson essentially 24 times,” York said. “So now they only have to do it 18 times. It’s a lot easier on the instructors.” Other stations include bee keeping, recycling, ATV safety, Pork Producers, farm equipment, forestry, sheep shearing, goats and chicks, dairy and electronics. Another station, perhaps one of the more popular aside from those where the youngsters get to pet various farm animals, is the pizza wheel. That station is designed to show students how their pizza is heavily dependent on agriculture. Throughout the other stations, students learned a variety of tidbits about agriculture, including: Horses have the largest eyes of any mammal. Horses can sleep lying down or standing up. Cows chew their cud up to eight hours per day. Honey is a good way
to relieve the pain from a bee sting. Bacon is not the most popular pork
product produced. That distinction goes to pork chops. Indiana is No.5 in

The Wabash County Courthouse and jail will soon receive repairs at a total cost of nearly $17,000. At their Oct. 1 meeting, the county commissioners approved replacement of the stairs on the south side of the jail, as well as replacement of the tile floors of the three porticos of the courthouse. C o u n t y Coordinator/HR Director Jim Dils presented both requests. “For some period of time, we’ve been trying to get quotes for the set of stairs on the south side of the jail,” Dils said. He received two quotes, and recommended using Gaunt and Son Asphalt, Inc., for the repair, which includes new stairs and an anodized aluminum railing. The stairs were quoted at $10,100, with the anodized aluminum railing an extra $865. “That’s what’s recommended,” Dils said. “We could go without it, but the durability will be better.” The commissioners approved up to $11,000 for the project. Regarding the tile floor replacements, Dils said that the north portico’s floor is in need of replacement, but that the south and east porticos’ tiles could also use updating. “The red tiles on the north portico of the courthouse have been in disrepair for some time,” he said. The low quote came from D-T Construction Services, Inc., at $6,681 from the historic preservation budget. “What they would do would be remove all of the existing red tile and put in a different type of tile that has a little more of a texture to it,” Dils said. “Those current tiles, when they get wet, they get very slippery.” The north portico has several buckled tiles, while the south portico has had repairs in the past. Deputy and sheriffelect Ryan Baker delivered the weekly jail report, saying that Wabash County Jail house 102 inmates, with an additional 39 in Miami County and 10 in Elkhart County. Baker said that more than 80 inmates are awaiting sentencing.

‘Chairs of Hope’ event planned By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — A public auction will take place during the Harvest Festival on Oct. 6 for chairs painted as part of the 5th Annual “Chairs of Hope” project. The chairs were painted by Manchester University students under the direction of Enjenobo “Jena” Oke, Associate Professor of Art at the university. Students worked to create designs using the theme “Gift of Hope” painted in the style of selected artists. “It’s incredible to see the talent in these students and their sense of community – a bit overwhelming” event organizer, Sebrena Cline said. “I am so grateful we were able to work with M a n c h e s t e r University this year to
complete this project and so impressed by their talent.” Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Wabash County Cancer Society. WCCS provides support to those in the fight against cancer including help with transportation for treatments, medicine or other expenses. The Chairs of Hope project is a community effort with many donations of chairs coming in from residents and businesses. Donations for supplies are also
received to cover the cost of paint and any additional repairs that are needed. The North M a n c h e s t e r Congregational Christian Church oversees the project. For more information about “Chairs of Hope” or to learn how to become a partner in the event, contact Pastor Sebrena Cline at 260-982-2882. The Congregational Christian Church is located at 310 N.

NM Historical Society to hear lecture By The Paper staff
NORTH MANCHESTER — On Monday, Oct. 8, the NM Historical Society will welcome Dr. Russ Gilliom who will present a program about the Augustin de La Balme Memorial Site
on the Eel River. The program will take place in the Assembly Room at T i m b e r c r e s t Retirement Center, 2201 East St., at 6:30 p.m. It is open to the public at no cost and will be enjoyable for audiences of all ages.
French calvary officer Augustin de La Balme came to the United States to assist in the American Revolution in 1777. In 1780, General Clark’s capture of Fort Sackville at Vincennes inspired him to attempt a similar feat against the British at Fort Detroit. De La Balme recruited militia from Kaskaskia, Cahokia, Vincennes, Ouiatenon (now West Lafayette) and Kekionga (the present Fort Wayne). His force eventually marched along the Eel River where it was attacked by Miami Chief Little Turtle. De La Balme died in the battle, and Little Turtle gained a reputation as a successful war chief. Gilliom is president of the Whitley County Historical Society and
president of the 30th Indiana Civil War Reenactors, where he participates as an infantry soldier, artillery crew member, medical officer and brown-water sailor of the period. He enjoys giving presentations on a variety of historical subjects, with emphasis on Civil War history, other 1860’s topics and early Indiana history. In addition to the love for historic research, Gilliom, retired from the private practice of dentistry after 38 years and now serves as chairman of the Whitley County Board of Health. He and his wife have been on numerous dental mission trips including to India, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico and in the U.S.
DR. RUSS GILLIOM He helped establish four dental treatment centers overseas. In addition to being active in his church, he is a member of the Mennonite Choral Society in Berne, participating in the oratorio “Messiah” for the past ten years.

Billy F. Gibbons will return to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20. He first performed at the center with his longtime band, ZZ Top. Gibbons is instantly recognizable, not only for his signature beard and African headgear, but for being one of the most inventive and dexterous guitarists of the rock era. Gibbons’ career took off in 1969 with the formation of ZZ Top. Since that time the band has continued to be part of the American musical landscape – the longest-running major rock band still composed of its original members. He and band mates Dusty Hill and Frank Beard were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, most appropriately by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, a longtime friend of Gibbons. His singular looks notwithstanding, Gibbons is even more
BILLY F. GIBBONS
notable for having been recognized as one of the world’s finest guitarists working in the blues-rock idiom. ZZ Top’s sound owes much to his uncanny knack to squeeze unheard of sounds out of the electric guitar that resonate with the blues, pop, R&B, country, gospel, western, hillbilly and West African influences that coa-
lesced when “rock ‘n’ roll” was born. His almost subconscious awareness of this heritage makes his an approach that is, at once, innovative and authentic. As a vocalist, his “down and dirty” growl is unmistakable; he sounds ominous and mirthful at the same time, as listeners to such hits as “La Grange,” “Sharp
Dressed Man” and “Cheap Sunglasses” can attest. Tickets for the show, sponsored by 101.9 Rocks, are $100, $59 and $49 and may be purchased online at www.honeywellcenter.org or by calling the Honeywell Foundation Box Office at 260-5631102.

“HONORING A LIFE WITH DIGNITY AND COMPASSION” www.mcdonaldfunerals.com Marilyn Ford, 83 Longtime community volunteer April 15, 1935 – Oct. 1, 2018
Marilyn Hansen Ford, 83, local church and community volunteer, passed away at 3:53 am, Monday, Oct. 1, 2018, at Wellbrooke of Wabash. Marilyn will be missed by those who loved her and whose lives she graciously enriched. She was born April 15, 1935, in Indianapolis, to Melvin and Dorothy (Richey) Hansen. A 1953 valedictorian of Broad Ripple High School, she majored in psychology and sociology at Northwestern University where she served as president of Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors. Summer pastimes on Lake Maxinkuckee included working for the Culver Citizen newspaper and crewing sailing races. She married Stanley W. Ford (1928-1978) in 1957, and moved to Wabash. A close neighborhood of young families brought lifelong friendships, as would such organizations as Round Table and Tri Kappa. Family life took precedence to personal pursuits, to the benefit of three sons and seven grandchildren whose interests were unfailingly placed ahead of her own. Marilyn’s North Miami Street home hosted church and family gatherings for 60 years. Marilyn loved her community. In the schools, she was a part time librarian, a Cub Scout den mother, a PTO and music boosters president, and longtime coordinator of the Wabash County Honors Band and Choir concerts. As a fundraiser, she chaired division drives for the American Heart Association and the United Fund. As a volunteer, she served on the F.I.S.H board and delivered Meals on Wheels. Her church was a primary interest. She served as director of Christian Education at First United Methodist Church, where she produced a children’s radio show and sang in the choir. She and Stan taught the third and fourth grade Sunday School class. Later she was the director of the Northern Indiana United Methodist Foundation and also headed the Indiana State Church and Synagogue Library Association. A lifelong musician, Marilyn played the piano, cello, and harp. She was a charter member of the Wabash Musicale and served as president of the Wabash County Arts Council. She also co-produced local monster piano concerts. She was a director of the Wabash Valley Music Association and held local and state roles in support of the Indianapolis Symphony. Music was a source of joy and a common thread of lasting friendships. She was a life member and former director of the Honeywell Foundation and was named the Wabash Area Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Citizen in 1988. Marilyn is survived by three sons, Steven (Lisa) Ford, Daniel (Tammy) Ford and Mark (Amy) Ford, all of Wabash, seven grandchildren, Melissa, Kristyn, Erika, Katie, Robert, David, and Grant. A brother, Richard (Joan) Hansen of Dallas, Texas, and two nephews and a niece also survive. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband. Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Saturday, October 6, 2018 at First United Methodist Church, 110 N. Cass Street, Wabash, with Pastors Kurt Freeman and John Cook officiating. Burial will be in Falls Cemetery, Wabash. Friends may call 2-7pm Friday, at Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service, 1241 Manchester Ave., Wabash. The family is grateful to Marilyn’s caregivers for their dedication. In lieu of flowers, memorials are to the First United Methodist Church or the Honeywell Foundation. The memorial guest book for Marilyn may be signed at www.grandstaffhentgen.com.

NMPD nets another drug arrest By News-Journal Staff NORTH MANCHESTER — A Rochester man faces several drug-related charges after being pulled over by North Manchester Police Department officers Friday morning. Jared S. Ringle, 35, of Rochester is charged with possession of methamphetamine, manufacturing methamphetamine, dealing methamphetamine and possession of paraphernalia, and was cited for no operator’s license when required. According to a press release from NMPD, Ringle’s arrest is the result of a complaint about a hazardous driver on State Road 114 entering North Manchester from the west side of town. Dispatch received the call around 7:37 a.m. Friday, Sept. 21, identifying a dark-colored Pontiac as the haz-
ardous vehicle driving “all over the roadway.” NMPD Chief Jim Kirk and Sgt. Nate Birch located the vehicle, driven by Ringle, near the intersection of SR 114 and SR 13. Per the release, Ringle attempted to evade the officers but was found near the intersection of Main and Sycamore streets. When questioned, Ringle informed officers that he had only an Indiana Identification Card, not an operator’s license, the release said. While taking an inventory of Ringle’s vehicle, Kirk and Birch allegedly found a portable methamphetamine lab, as well as undisclosed amounts of methamphetamine and cash. NMPD was assisted by Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, Wabash County Drug Task Force and Indiana State Police.

FSSI staffer receives leadership, Hunters can help development award
monitor deer disease
By The Paper staff
MARION – Family Service Society, Inc. therapist, Brooke Wittman, LMHC, CSAYC was honored by the Indiana Association of Juvenile Sex O f f e n d e r Practitioners (INAJSOP) with the presentation of the Bobby Jones Award for leadership and development at their annual conference on Aug. 2, 2018. IN-AJSOP is a professional association comprised of individuals and organizations that, in their daily work, respond to youth who have caused sexual harm. In response to Indiana’s lack of a standardized model of care for these youth, the A s s o c i a t i o n emerged in 2004 to lead Indiana’s professional treatment community toward adoption of a best practice approach to assessment and intervention. “The Sexually Abusive Youth (SAY) program at Family Service Society, Inc. has the mission of working with adolescents who have caused sexual harm to learn to become healthier adolescents who will live a life free from causing harm to others.” said
From the DNR

Photo provided Brett Boswinkle, LMHC, CSAYC, and C l i n i c a l Administrator for FSSI. “The SAY program is focused on sexual abuse prevention by intervening with those who have caused harm.” The Award is named after Bobby Jones, who provided significant leadership in the development of IN- AJSOP training and credentialing programs – with specific direction and emphasis in the areas of cultural and linguistic competence and respectful customer 1st service to youth and families. Bobby passed away on April 29th, 2011. In his honor, the IN-ASJOP Board of Directors presents
the Bobby Jones award each year at the annual conference. This is the most prestigious award given by IN-AJSOP and have only been eight (8) awards ever distributed. The 2018 recipient of the award is Family Service Society Inc.’s own, Brooke Wittman, LMHC, CSAYC. In her nomination, Wittman was praised for her work with sexually maladaptive youth and their families in communitybased treatment. She exhibits the highest level of professionalism including compassion for youthandfamiliesby providing services that are culturally sensitive,showsdedi-
cation to her clients and her approach to handling difficult issues creates comfort and trust. Her compliance to INAJSOP best practice standards is excellent and she is always looking for innovative ways to serve her families to help them change their lives for good. “I am grateful for the recognition of a career I love doing,” Wittman said. “It is a reflection of the team I work with and the agency that continues to support us and our community. “I feel as if I am part of an extended family. I feel honored to continue developing my career and the communities I serve.”
Hunters can help monitor the deer populations in northwest and northeast Indiana for chronic wasting disease (CWD) by voluntarily submitting harvested deer to the DNR for testing during the 20182019 deer hunting season. The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife has established a CWD core surveillance area in Newton County and Lake County south of State Road 2. In those areas, the DNR hopes to sample as many hunter-harvested deer as possible from Sept. 29-Dec. 23, 2018. CWD enhanced surveillance areas have also been identified in Jasper County, Lake County (north of S.R. 2), and LaPorte, Porter, Pulaski, and Starke counties in northwest Indiana, as well as in Steuben County in northeast Indiana. Surveillance involves collecting and testing lymph nodes from the neck of deer har-
vested by hunters and voluntarily submitted for evaluation. CWD is a serious neurologic disease affecting whitetailed deer, mule deer, elk, and moose. The fatal disease is transmitted directly through bodily fluids like feces, saliva, blood, or urine or indirectly through environmental contamination of soil, plants, food, or water. CWD is found in freeranging whitetailed deer in several Midwestern states close to Indiana, including Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin. CWD has not been detected in Indiana. In northwest Indiana, DNR will be collecting samples throughout the season with the help of area processors, taxidermists, and businesses. During weekends beginning Sept. 29, biologists will be stationed at Phil’s Truck Stop (3347 S.R. 10, Lake Village, IN 46349) and Jay’s Deer Processing (2651 Clifford Road,
Valparaiso, IN 46385) to collect samples for CWD testing. During the week, hunters may submit samples for CWD testing to area Fish & Wildlife Areas, by appointment, during normal business hours. Additionally, partnering processors and taxidermists will be working with DNR to ensure CWD samples are collected for customers wishing to participate in surveillance. In northeast Indiana, DNR biologists will be collecting voluntary samples for CWD testing from deer harvested within Steuben County at Pigeon River FWA (8310 E 300 N, Box 71, Mongo, IN 46771), by appointment, during normal business hours. Additional locations and hours of operation will be available beginning opening weekend of firearms season.

Tough love Vote against MCS referendum in the town
Dear Editor: The school referendum issue is causing a lot of pain whether you are “for” or “against” it. After an interesting chat at the Farmer’s Market, I realized that my heart was hurting for our community. I was disappointed in the quality of information given and responses at the open meeting. So I did some research to increase my understanding. What are some facts about the referendum and/or community? Project · Renovations (safety features & advanced manufacturing lab), roof, and site prep = 2.4 million. · Contingency, escalation & soft costs = 2.93 million. · Fieldhouse and artificial turf = 10.4 million. · Project interest is estimated at 10 million dollars over 20 years. · Operating costs were presented between $30,000 and $100,000 annually. · 25.5 million would be paid through increased property taxes. (Source Support MS meeting Sept. 18, 2018) People · There are 10,421 people in the two townships, between 3,752 and 4,235 households, and 1,002 households with children under 18 depending on the cited source. · In the past 10 years MCS student population low was 1,498, high 1,656, averaged 1,567, and currently is 1,616 students. Income · Average US household income is $55,322.00. Indiana’s average income is $50,433.00. Average income here is $47,298 which is 17 percent lower than US and 6.6 percent lower than Indiana. · The poverty threshold plus ALICE (Asset limited Income Constrained Employed) figures show an average of 38 percent (from both townships) live below the basic cost of living. (Sources, iprc.iu.edu, towncharts.com, wikipedia.com, statisticsatlas.com) The Hard Questions The proposal will cost $25.5 million. Without the fieldhouse that figure drops to $2.4 million. Many households won’t be asked to make a large contribution. A $100,000 home will see a $70.00 change and a $200,000 home $210.00 annually; a $500,000 farm property (265 Acres) will pay five times that amount. One employer will experience an increase of over $15,700.00 annually. The financial responsibility, for twenty years, will fall primarily on businesses, commercial, and agriculture. Will they still have funds to support clubs and events (e.g. Relay for Life, library, Booster Club? A suggestion was made that the sports complex could be rented. To be successful, a community must have sufficient hotels and restaurants to host large groups. Do we have those? Is the sports complex necessary for student safety? Some experts fear there will be a glut in new facilities. If that happens, do we have the resources to draw outside paying visitors? What is the overall health of our other school facilities? Do buildings need to be updated? How can we invest our resources to positively impact the greatest number of MCS students? We need to not point fingers as supporters or opponents, but address the future in a spirit of compromise, cooperation and community. How can we create better options? Practice tough love. Vote “No” in November, but commit to working toward a solution in 2019. — Valynnda K. Slack, PhD, Pleasant Township Farm Owner
Dear Editor: Why should you vote no on the MCS referendum? It is not about safety. 1. The board refused to pull and move forward on $1,550,000 renovation projects: securing the doors, the Manufacturing Lab and roofing the junior high. Mr. (former business manager Scott) Bumgardner stated, “it would have taken three to four meetings to even borrow the money.” March 13 to July 10: These safety projects, roof and lab could have been funded. 2. The board refused to consider any alternative for students to safely travel between the buildings. Nor would they listen to concerns over junior high students being at the senior high. 3. The PAC’s letter stated, “the soccer program to move from land across a busy street….to a much safer location” except soccer will still practice across a busy street. Only the games would be moved. 4. The cost of stadium turf is $890,000. This turf has a life of eight to 10 years before being replaced, requires special equipment the school does not now own, and special training in maintaining the field. If you think artificial turf is safe, you need to google turf safety and discover the hazards. It is not about an Advanced Manufacturing Lab! Dr. Lippe’s letter would have you believe this lab is a reason to vote yes. In Moake Park’s 28 page report, the lab
Letter guideline
was mentioned on four pages. This important, critical link was lumped in with renovations, and, as noted above, funding could now be in place. It is not about students coming to MCS. Repeatedly pointed out, 152 students transferred into MCS. Conveniently, the 99 that transferred out were never mentioned. We should be asking why students are leaving our “remarkable” facility. It is about the fieldhouse! Moake’s presentation mentioned the fieldhouse on five pages plus two pages of site drawings, eighty pages of fantastic, artistic renditions and a video. Wenger Corporation, with 65 years experience of sport facility consultation, stated the first phase is to form a planning committee of those with a broad range of backgrounds and disci-

plines. Phases 2-4 concern design development. How long did this project take? Feb. 13, Mr. Bumgardner said he would present a facility presentation pertaining to safety concerns. March 13, he addressed safety concerns on school building entrances and students walking between the junior and senior buildings. He then proposed building a fieldhouse; presented a drawing from Moake Park and the board gave him approval to proceed. The timeline does not make sense. This project is just not ready. The cost of operation was not known, was $50,000, was $55-70,000, and now is $75100,000. A Moake Park letter states the exact HVAC system, lighting system, wall and roof construction, R-values, etc. have not been determined. If an operating budget cannot be determined because exacts are not known, how can we trust a $9,517,708 fieldhouse cost? Why should you vote no on the MCS referendum? The board refused to pull securing the school doors, roof and lab projects. They refused to delay the fieldhouse so the community could have input. This will impact our ability to fund needed projects for the next 15-20 years. Vote no! Then the community can unite in preparing a new plan. — Mary Earle, North Manchester

Monroe. The report also indicated internal control deficiencies within the department. “The department had two employees,” the report reads. “These employees had the same title, the same salary, and
shared the same duties and responsibilities equally. Except for approving bi-weekly timesheets, there was no supervisory oversight and review of the activities of the department. Due to the lack of segregation of duties and

supervisory review, officials were not able to prevent or detect in a timely manner the failure to deposit collections. “The lack of necessary input controls allowed discrepancies between collections posted to customers’
accounts and collections deposited to the bank to go unnoticed.” Monroe was arrested in February 2018. A sentencing report was ordered. However, no sentencing date was set during the hearing.

From the MU News Burea NORTH MANCHESTER – They are children of war. They have lost their homes, their cities and their families. Orphaned children are struggling to find themselves and their place in this world. Many of them have lost their ability to communicate. Many have hearing loss which also robs them of their voice. “Hearing the Call” works in the Syrian refugee camps in Jordan to not only partially restore their hearing but help try to reconnect them to the world. Through the Art Initiative, kids have been able to open up and express themselves and their feelings. Suaad is a 14-year-old girl who lives in an orphanage. She lost her entire family to a bomb in the civil war. Even out of such despair, Suaad is able to find hope. She loves to paint and draw when she can get supplies. Suaad was very quiet when she first joined the art activities but soon was beaming when asked if her work could be shared in the United States. She says “drawing was a way for me to express herself and feel safe when I get lonely or feel sad.Another piece of art was created by a boy named Sammy living in the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan. It was painted on the canvas of a tent. Sammy lost both of his legs during the Syrian civil war. He wrote on the back of his artwork: “I miss my mother home. I drew this while living in a camp and wish I could go home.”When we asked Sammy why he loves to draw birds he replied, “A bird can go anywhere and does not need any help.”This painting and many like it will be on display at a show put on by Manchester Unive rsity in association with HearCare Audiology of Fort Wayne. The show is titled “Amal: When Hope Endures.” Amal is the Arabic word for hope. Manchester University is committed to the enrichment of their students and

Congratulations.” Hohman is a native of Elkhart. This is the third year for the award. The first two recipients were Senior Director of A u x i l i a r y Services Alexis Young and A d m i s s i o n s Administrative Assistant Jill Biehl.
