Seniors flock to annual expo By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The third annual Senior Connections Expo hosted 41 vendors from across Indiana’s northeast region on Thursday, April 28, to educate both local and out-oftown seniors on a variety of services. Throughout the day, vendors were visited by a “non-stop” flow of seniors, according to Jami Bartel, Wabash Senior Care Marketing Group member. “All the vendors I’ve talked to are very excited about the flow of people and it seems like it’s been a great, steady flow and everyone’s having a good time,” Bartel told The Paper of Wabash County. Miller’s Merry Manor provided a free lunch, which had more than 150 reservations, Bartel continued. From Wellbrooke of Wabash to Caregiver Homes of South Bend, senior citizens learned about healthcare opportunities, specialized services and life insurance policies at the expo. Elder Law attorney Charles Backs also spoke with attendees about Medicare, Medicaid and
strengthening rural communities. “A few days later I also received an email from former Wabash resident Lara Dunning who also had found the link,” Flohr said. “I shared the Small Business Revolution contesting with a representative from each of the towns in the county.” Wabash Marketplace Inc. made the ini(continued on page 22)

NORTH MANCHESTER – An Indiana State Police investigation has led to the arrest of a former Manchester University student for the death of an infant. On Monday, May 2, at approximately 12:45 p.m., a death investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Josh Maller and North Manchester Police Detective Sergeant Jon Pace has resulted in the arrest of Mikayla Munn, 21, Elkhart. Munn was served a Wabash Circuit Court arrest warrant alleging criminal charges for murder and neglect of a dependent causing death. She was arrested at her Elkhart home and transported to the Elkhart County Jail. On March 8, at approximately 11:28 p.m., the North Manchester Dispatch Center received a 911 call, from Munn. When first responders arrived at Munn’s Manchester University dorm room, they found Munn had given birth. Munn and an infant boy were in a bathtub. The infant was not breathing. Both were transported by ambulance to a local hospital. The infant boy was pronounced dead. Munn was treated for the after effects of childbirth and released. (continued on page 22)

Local officials plan for healthier future in Wabash County By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
Wabash County now ranks 61st of Indiana’s 92 counties in overall health, but has the potential to rank 26th, according to a recent study by County Health Rankings and Roadmaps (CHRR).
Over the last five years, the county has dropped nearly 10 rankings in the survey’s Health Outcomes category – which addresses how healthy a county currently is – but improved 24 rankings in Health Factors, which addresses how healthy a county could be in the future,
according to the data. To ensure the county’s healthy future, Be Well Wabash County will host a health seminar on Tuesday, April 26, with local community leaders to brainstorm and make plans to encourage healthy living throughout the county over the next nine years, according to Bryce Lindsay, Be
Well strategic planning committee member. The health seminar will help map out plans for nine years of local health, according to Chris Sloan, director of healthy living for the Wabash County YMCA. “(The planning summit) will help map out three, six, nine years of goals and objectives,” Sloan said, “and working with community leaders on establishing those. “Also a representative from the County Health Rankings and Roadmaps will be here April 26. … She’s going to be touring Wabash and spending some time with people in our community. “What we need to do is get more people to the table to coordinate our efforts,” Lindsay said,
“because you’ve government that has a role and that’s local municipal government, because it’s not going to come from Indy, it’s not going to come from D.C. “It’s private employer from the private sector, the education sector with the schools and then it’s private individuals that will come together and nudge these areas and help people identify that they’re ready for change, ready to remove those obstacles to give them access that would help them improve their quality of life, their health factors.” CHRR engagement specialist Kate Konkle noted in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County that the 2011 data did not measure the same factors as
the 2016 survey data when it was collected. When the survey first started in 2010, the data collected answers only form respondents with landlines, excluding those that only have cellphones, she said. Also, the data did not measure food environment index, physical inactivity or access to exercise opportunities among other categories. After 2011, the survey began collecting data from cellphoneonly and landline respondents. Over the last five years, it also began measuring new subcategories in health behavior, clinical care, physical environment and social and economic factors. “There are measures we use to include (in the survey) that we don’t any more because there are measures that we found that are collected better, provide bette data or the places we collected them from – such as the CDC – have changed how they collect the data,” Konkle continued. “Rankings are not necessarily always the best tool to use to look at changes over time.
“We want to provide a snap shot of a county’s health at a point in time. It’s going to take longer to see overall change (of an area).” The data from both years provides a wide snap shot for the county’s health and it is positive to see a lower Health Factor ranking, according to Sloan. “It’s great because there are some positive things and then there are some things that we know we need to work on,” Sloan said. “But it’s great because some of the positive things are the indicators of where our county’s going to go in the future. “Those numbers are positive and improving and I think it speaks to what everybody – not just Be Well (Wabash County) – what everybody’s doing in the county.” The 2016 Health Factors ranking is “exciting for Wabash because it is a predictor for what Wabash County could be in the future.” “So the lowest that number could be, the better it is for Wabash moving forward in the future,” he continued.

Kirk retires from WPD, joins NMPD By Amanda Bridgman abridgman@nmpaper.com
NORTH MANCHESTER — Jim Kirk will begin investigating North Manchester crime May 31 as the police department’s new detective. Kirk is currently detective-captain for Wabash City Police Department, where he’s worked the past 28 years. He’s retiring Saturday, April 30, and will have to wait 30 days before he can start work at NMPD. His hiring was approved by the North Manchester Town Council at its April 13 meeting, after NMPD Chief Jeff Perry recommended Kirk to fill one of the three empty positions at the department after three officers
resigned within one month. “I know they’re struggling there with turnover,” Kirk said, adding that at age 52, he’s still looking to work another 10 years in law enforcement. Kirk said during his career he’s built a good reputation with both county officials and the public alike. He believes that will be an asset he will bring to North Manchester residents. He also said he’ll be coming from a 27-man department to an 11man department, and he’s looking forward to learning what plagues the town. “Manchester’s a small town,” he said. “But you have the same crimes everywhere; it’ll just not be as many.” He’ll work the first shift, five days a week
Monday through Friday. Kirk also said the majority of his work will be from behind a desk, but if he’s asked to do different things like road patrol or help out when the department is shorthanded, he won’t have a problem doing that. “I spent 10 years working thirds,” he said. “With bad publicity of police, it’s getting hard to get good applicants to fill these empty positions.” He said WPD is currently looking to hire four officers, and Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department is trying to fill two. Kirk said between officers switching departments, like he is, and varying pay scales based on the law enforcement agency, finding the right person for the job
and keeping them is a continuing problem. “People want to feel safe,” he said. “I like helping people and dealing with the public.” Kirk reflected on his 28year career at WPD and said putting North Manchester’s Donald Samons away for life in 1999 was one of his proudest accomplishments. Samons was found guilty and sentenced to life without parole for the stomping killing of a Wabash man in September 1999. Jon Voran was the victim, found on a Sunday morning by a mother and her children floating face down in the Wabash River at a popular fishing spot by the Huntington Street bridge in Wabash. Kirk and his colleague Terri Music
worked through the night, where their investigation took them to North Manchester. “We worked all night,” Kirk said. “Then we wound up in North Manchester, through interviewing people, by talking to people, our own leads, and we arrested him at 5:30 in the morning at the trailer park in North Manchester. It was still dark out when we showed up there and took him out of the trailer. 24 hours and we had him in custody.” Kirk said this type of detective work and dedication to helping the victim and finding the perpetrator is what North Manchester residents can expect out of him. Kirk’s resume also includes working several child molestation
2015 survey results show steady increase in cover crops Article provided INDIANAPOLIS – Results from the 2015 Indiana Fall Tillage and Cover Crop Transect, which is an on-theground survey, indicate that overall soil health in Indiana is improving. According to the data, over 1.1 million acres of cover crops were planted in 2015, which is an increase of nearly 10 percent compared to the previous year and 225 times more coverage over the past decade. Cover crops build soil organic matter, protect against soil erosion, cycle nutrients, reduce compaction, sequester carbon from the atmosphere, and build overall soil health and make it more resilient to weather extremes. The increase of cover crops confirms that the Indiana Conservation Partnership’s efforts are helping farmers successfully improve soil health throughout the state. “We introduced the cover crop assessment to the survey in 2011 so that we could better tell the story of Indiana’s conservation efforts,” said Jane Hardisty, Natural Resources Conservation Service State Conservationist. “Cover crops protect soil from extreme weather and retain valuable nutrients in fields during winter months, playing a key role in soil health. With more farmers implementing this practice, the 2015 survey results prove why Indiana continues to be a national leader in soil health.” Hoosier farmers also continued the trend of plowing less and using sound conservation practices that preserve valuable topsoil,
which means that soil health is improving, but also that Indiana has a conservation model that works and continues to garner national attention.” In addition to the survey, which provides data on no-till farming and cover crops, the eight partners of Indiana’s Conservation Partnership also promote other practices as
according to the 2015 data. Not plowing the soil is a critical component to improving soil health and can reduce soil erosion by 75 percent when compared to a conventional tillage system. The results show that 55 percent of Indiana’s harvested cropland was left undisturbed during the winter months. “When our farmers apply sound conservation practices, it’s good for the soil, contributes to improved water quality, and good for the future of agriculture,” said Ted McKinney, Director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA). “These survey results indicate that not only are more farmers implementing these types of practices,

East St. North Manchester: noon - 6 p.m. May 26, Manchester Church of the Brethren, 1306 Beckley St. May is Trauma Awareness Month and the American Red Cross urges the community to give blood or platelets to help ensure lifesaving blood products are available for trauma patients and others with serious medical needs. Each year, trauma accounts for approximately 41 million emergency department visits and 2.3 million hospi-
tal admissions in the U.S., according to the National Trauma Institute. A single car accident victim can need as many as 100 units of blood. The Red Cross provides blood to approximately 2,600 hospitals nationwide, including 80 hospitals in the state of Indiana. “It’s the blood products on the shelves that helps save lives in an emergency,” said Rodney Wilson, communications manager of the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region. “When seconds matter, having a readily available blood supply is critical to trauma patient care.” When there is not time to determine a patient’s blood type, such as in trauma situations, type O negative blood and type AB plasma are what emergency personnel reach for because they can be given to patients with any blood type. Less than 7 percent of the population has type O negative blood, and only about 4 percent of the population has type
AB blood. Donors with these blood types are an important part of the trauma team and encouraged to donate as often as they are eligible. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required when checking in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/Rap idPass and follow the instructions on the site.

City gives $20,000 to animal shelter By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
The City of Wabash is giving the Wabash County Animal Shelter $20,000 this year to help it meet an operating expense shortfall. Shelter officials also informed the Wabash City Council that they will return later this year, asking to receive an additional $50,000 in the city’s 2017 budget. The council voted 6-1 to approve the $20,000 contribution, likely to come from the city’s Rainy Day Fund, after dog warden Doug Bogert presented a talk that at times dealt with the need for funding and at other times tried to pull at the council member’s heartstrings. Council Member Mitch Figert was the lone person voting against the measure. “I brought you some pictures of some dogs,” he said, showing the council and the audience photographs of animals sitting behind cages. “These are just some samples of some dogs that were there today at the animal shelter.” One of the animals pictured was found in a farmer’s field with an electrical cord tied around its neck, he noted. “That’s the type of things we deal with on a daily basis,” Bogert told the council. The shelter needs the funding, Bogert said, because it has operated at a deficit the last two years, and is doing so again this year. In 2014, according to figures he provided the council, the shelter had $182,742 in income, against expenses of $196,733, for a deficit of $14,008. That figure grew in 2015, to a deficit of $27,035. Income last year was $147,193, against expenses of $174,228. For the first three months of this year, figures show, the shelter is running at a deficit of $9,139, with income of $29,715 and expenses of $38,855. That is coming, he said, in spite of the fact that it is cutting back on expenses from 2014 to 2015 and is attempting to do so again this year. “There simply isn’t enough income coming in,” he said. Bogert said the shelter is doing its best to try to control expenses. However, he noted, every animal that leaves the shelter is spayed or neutered. “It’s very expensive,
and that’s part of the expense that we have,” he said, adding that the spaying and neutering is done in Kokomo. “That is the least expensive place to go,” Bogert said. “They can do it for half or a third of the cost of the local veterinarians. Also, we would overflow the local veterinarians.” Trips to taken to Kokomo are done about on a weekly basis, and anywhere from four to 18 animals are taken. He also said the shelter’s vehicles are old. “The newest one is a brand new 2005,” he said, sarcastically. “The other one is a 1999, with 140,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, the animals when we take them to get the fixed have to ride in the back of that truck in minus 20 degree weather, as well as 110 degree weather because we don’t have an air conditioned van.” About half the shelter’s dogs were sick with kennel cough because a sick animal was brought in and it had to be housed with the other dogs because there is no way to segregate the sick animals from the general population. “And that’s one of the reasons why we’ll be back to you come budget time,” he said. “We need to eventually put an addition on there where we can have a quarantine area for our dogs.” The city’s funding will go along with the Wabash County Council’s funding of $70,000 this year. The government funding comes in spite of the fact that the shelter became a non-profit organization in 2013. Council member Doug Adams asked why the shelter became a non-profit organization. “In the past, the board was just an advisory board,” Bogert said. “They had no control over the animal shelter. The employees were county employees. “If the board didn’t like what the employee was doing, the employee could basically thumb their nose at them because they had no hiring and firing ability to get the things done that they knew had to be done. “So it was decided that the best thing to be instead of an advisory board, we actually had a board of directors that could do the hiring and firing, and was doing the type of things it needed to do.” Members of the
board of directors include Bogert’s sonin-law, Steve Hicks, who serves as president, Pat Lynn who is treasurer and Sheila Rhoades who is secretary. Other members are Jerry Hults, Dick White, Steve Smith, Kelly Gretschman and Jo Wagmer. Figert, in questioning Bogert, noted the shelter lost nearly $27,000 in public support from 2014 to 2015, which correlates to the deficit the shelter experienced. “So, whose responsibility is it at the shelter to go out and do that fundraising?” the council member asked. Bogert said the decrease is largely due to the fact that the shelter received those funds in the will of someone who had passed away. “Part of running a non-profit is you’re going to lose donors,” Figert responded. “I don’t want to see you get too reliant back on the government. I don’t mind the city consider giving you some funds, but I think at the same time the shelter needs to have a fundraising plan to say ‘This is how we’re going to raise funds as well.’” Figert, following the meeting, told The Paper of Wabash County he would have supported a lower amount to give the shelter from city coffers, had it been pro-
posed. “It wasn’t, so I had to vote on the $20,000,” he continued. “I just don’t see where we have the funds nor the necessity at this point to do
that.” If the shelter returns to ask for $50,000, he said, he wants to see what its plans are for fundraising. “The city can’t take
care of every good civic need in the community,” he said. “Working for a nonprofit I know that myself. I don’t mind supporting them. I
think they are doing great things for the city. “But there needs to be some justification.”

Mark and Eugenia Honeywell. Hosted by the Wabash unit of the Women’s Committee of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra hosted the annual tour for approximately 300 students from local homeschools, O.J. Neighbours, Metro North, Southwood, St. Bernard and Emmanual Christian elementary schools. The event coincides with the third grade social studies history standards, which require students to describe how significant people, events and developments have shaped their own community and region. Additionally, educators want students to discover an appreciation for the men and women who’ve helped shape their community, according to Alissa Deeter, Southwood Elementary third grade teacher. “The purpose of coming today is we are wanting them to learn more about Wabash County and be exposed (to the history),” Deeter told The Paper of Wabash County. “We want them to be introduced to some community members, the Honeywells, that have done a lot for our community. “Many of them know about the Honeywell Center and they’ve all gone swimming at the
swimming pool, but they had no idea that there was actually a Mr. Honeywell and Mrs. Honeywell that lived here in Wabash County and did all of this for our community.” Students toured 10 rooms of the Honeywell’s home, including the dining room, library and ribbon room learning about the furniture, silverware and its historic significance. Southwood student Davy Faulder said touring the Honeywell House was really cool and “I learned a lot about Mr. and Mrs. Honeywell and that Mr. Honeywell never lived in the house.” The house’s marble furniture was really cool to see, she continued, but her favorite item to see was the piano. While she has visited the Honeywell House before, Davy said she never knew people could rent and stay upstairs.

NOW IS THE TIME to register for fall preschool at Tenderheart Preschool located at Walk by Faith Church in Roann. Classes are held for 3-5-year-old children beginning in September. Please call for more information or stop by the church in the mornings. Call Walk by Faith at 765833-9931, Jenny See 260330-1958, or Angie Baer 260-249-8689. THE ROANN COVERED BRIDGE LIONS Club re-scheduled meeting was held on April 13. President Keith Ford opened the meeting and welcomed everyone. Donna Harman reported on the status of this year’s calendar. All updates she has been notified about, have been made and the data will be submitted to the calendar company before May 1. Donna will check with the calendar company about changing the calendar to run from January to December instead of July- June. The reason for the past calendar starting in July is because that is the “Lions Club” calendar year with election of officers. The annual Easter egg hunt sponsored by the Lions Club was a huge success.
There were approximately 70 children hunting eggs and looking for those special prize eggs. The Lions Club is very grateful to Janet Shoue for baking those delicious monster cookies for the children. Also, thank you to LuAnn Layman and Carol Long for getting the prizes and getting the eggs displayed for the big hunt. In other business, a motion was made to sponsor the Roann Metro League again this year. The Lions Club will donate $150. A motion was also passed to make another payment to Rick Morris toward his purchase of the donut trailer for the Lions Club. Guest Phil Dale attended the Lions Club meeting. Phil is running for County Council at Large and would appreciate your votes. The final business for the meeting was the need for a nominating committee, since elections of officers needs to be submitted by May 15. Dewayne Krom and Don Everest were approved as nominating committee. Members present: Keith Ford, Vonell Krom, Don Everest, Bill Palmer, Russell Krom, Dewayne, Krom, Harold and Bonnie Corn, Danny Shoemaker and Donna Harman.

Wetzel Insurance retains IIABA status By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER – Wetzel Insurance Agency has retained its status as part of an elite group of independent insurance agencies around the United States participating in the I n d e p e n d e n t Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) “Best Practices” Study Group. Each year since 1993, IIABA and Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management consulting firm, join forces to study the country’s leading agencies in six revenue categories. The agencies comprising the study groups are selected every third year through a comprehensive nomination and qualifying process and awarded a “Best Practices Agency” designation. The selected “Best Practices” agencies retain their status during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data
for review each year. “We set this as a goal every year. As a Best Practices Agency we have to grow by improving the job we do for our customers, improving the quality and capability of our associates, and by maintaining effective insurance carrier partnerships, tools, and resources. We demonstrate a leading edge. We are honored to be selected,” said Byron Kauffman, Wetzel Insurance Agency, Inc., President. “The wheel starts with good people having access to strong insurance partners and rolls to attract quality customers. We are proud to turn measurably superior results.” This year concludes the current three-year study cycle in which more than 1,100 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated to take part in the annual study, but only 217 agencies qualified for the honor. To be chosen, the agency had to be among the 35-45 top-performing agen-
cies in one of six revenue categories. The agency was nominated by either an IIABA affiliated state association or an insurance company and qualified based on its operational excellence. The Best Practices Study was initiated by IIABA in 1993 as the foundation for efforts to improve agency performance. The annual survey and study of leading independent insurance agencies documents the business practices of the “best” agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices. Wetzel Insurance Agency, Inc., established in 1928, has offices in North Manchester and Warsaw. Its associates pride themselves on providing quality service, experience, and value. Wetzel is a member of the I n d e p e n d e n t Insurance Agents and Brokers of America and is a Trusted Choice Insurance Agency. Trusted Choice Agencies are insurance and finan-
cial service firms whose access to multiple companies and commitment to quality service provide clients with competitive pricing, a broad choice of products, and unparalleled client advocacy.

USDA offers new loans for portable farm storage and handling equipment From the USDA COLUMBUS, Ohio – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will provide a new financing option to help farmers purchase portable storage and handling equipment. Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini and A g r i c u l t u r a l Marketing Service (AMS) Administrator Elanor Starmer announced changes to the Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) program today during a local and regional food roundtable in Columbus, Ohio. The loans, which now include a smaller microloan option with lower down payments, are designed to help producers, including new, small and mid-sized producers, grow their businesses and markets. “As more communi-
Saturday, May 7 from 8 am to 1 pm
Saturday, May 14 from 8 am to 1 pm
ties reconnect with agriculture, consumer demand is increasing for food produced locally or regionally,” said Dolcini. “Portable handling and storage equipment is vital to helping farmers get their products to market more quickly and better maintain product quality, bringing them greater returns. That’s why we’ve added this type of equipment as a new category for our Farm Storage Facility Loan program.” The program also offers a new “microloan” option, which allows applicants seeking less than $50,000 to qualify for a reduced down payment of five percent and no requirement to provide three years of production history. Farms and ranches of all sizes are eligible. The microloan option is expected to be of particular benefit to smaller farms and ranches, and specialty crop producers who may not have access to commercial storage or on-farm storage after harvest. These producers can invest in equipment like conveyers, scales or refrigeration units and trucks that can store commodities before delivering them to markets. Producers do not need to demonstrate the lack of commercial
credit availability to apply. “Growing highvalue crops for local and regional markets is a common entry point for new farmers,” said Starmer. “Since they often rent land and have to transport perishable commodities, a loan that can cover mobile coolers or even refrigerated trucks fills an important gap. These producers in turn supply the growing number of food hubs, farmers markets or stores and restaurants interested in sourcing local food.” Earlier this year, FSA significantly expanded the list of commodities eligible for Farm Storage Facility Loan. Eligible commodities now include aquaculture; floriculture; fruits (including nuts) and vegetables; corn, grain sorghum, rice, oilseeds, oats, wheat, triticale, spelt, buckwheat, lentils, chickpeas, dry peas sugar, peanuts, barley, rye, hay, honey, hops, maple sap, unprocessed meat and poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt and renewable biomass. FSFL microloans can also be used to finance wash and pack equipment used post-harvest, before a commodity is placed in cold storage. AMS helps thousands of agricultural
food producers and businesses enhance their marketing efforts through a combination of research, technical services and grants. The agency works to improve marketing opportunities for U.S. growers and producers, including those involved in specialty crop production and in the local and regional food systems. V i s i t www.ams.usda.gov to learn more about AMS services. Today’s announcement will further advance the efforts of USDA’s Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative, which coordinates the Department’s work to develop local and regional food systems. USDA is committed to helping farmers, ranchers, and businesses access the growing market for local and regional foods, which was valued at $12 billion in 2014 according to industry estimates. Under this Administration, USDA has invested more than $1 billion in more than 40,000 local and regional food businesses and infrastructure projects. More information on how USDA investments are connecting producers with consumers and expanding rural economic opportunities is available in Chapter IV of USDA Results on Medium.

VIEWPOINT Many are working to deter domestic violence
Dear Editor: I recently had a conversation with someone who has smoked for more than 30 years and has decided to quit. Her reasoning while in part is financial it
was her comment about societal change that I am choosing to focus on. She shared how when she began smoking it was acceptable. It was the norm. She was young, she said, and
didn’t know the harm it was inflicting about her children. She smoked in her car. She smoked in her house. Even when her young son took her cigarettes, broke them and threw them in the
Laketon Auxiliary appreciates support Dear Editor: The Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit No. 402 takes this opportunity to extend a special thank you to Scott, Sarah and the staff of Main View restaurant for the successful fundraising dinner provided to assist in funding a delegate to attend Hoosier Girls State. We are very appreciative to all who attended the Sunday dinner and generous donations. Girls State, held annually on the campus of Trine University, is a
unique citizenship training program toward an understanding, comprehension and appreciation of their roles as United States citizens. Delegates are selected from schools throughout Indiana at the completion of their junior year and participate in the week-long process of instructional political parties and elections to fill city, county and state positions. Many other activities are offered as Girls States delegates develop leadership skills, confidence and poise, giv-
ing them a foundation for success in their personal and professional future. Approximately 20,000 young women participate in Girls State sessions across the nation, with Indiana holding one of the largest sessions with approximately 400 delegates. Hoosier Girls State celebrates its 75th anniversary June 24 with a banquet at Trine Recreation Center and a special invitation to all former HGS delegates. — Tina James, Unit No. 402 president
Manchester school officials appreciate support Dear Editor: On April 12, 2016, Manchester High School hosted athletic physicals at Walnut Street Family Health Care. Athletic physicals are available to all Manchester student-athletes going into grades 6-12 for a minimal cost of $15. When the night was over, 124 Manchester athletes took advantage of this opportunity, which would not have been possible without the efforts of our community members. On behalf of M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools, we would like to thank the following
individuals for volunteering their time to help make this event such a success. Manchester Clinic Physicians: Dr. Pam Higgins, Dr, Eric Reichenbach and Paul Frye- Miller, PA.

Volunteer help appreciated Dear Editor: All day Friday, April 1, longtime members of Laketon Legion Sunset Post No402 Bob Haecker and Harold Fawley picked up and sorted the items donated for the spring auction. At 5 p.m., vacing a biting west wind
blowing from Round Lake, and a thin crowd of bidders, Chad Metzger and Roxie Roser, against long odds, turned that “stuff ” into $540 for the post. We, the veterans, wish to publicly thank the auction team for free, profes-
sional service they provided. Last, but certainly, no least, thanks to the families that donated the items, and the bidders, facing that west wind. – Charles Signs, North Manchester
trash she wasn’t deterred, she just loaded up her children in the car and went and bought more cigarettes. But today she said it has become so socially unacceptable to smoke and so inconvenient, she is trying desperately to change a norm that has been part of her life all of her adulthood. I applaud her for her efforts and I use her as an example of what we can do as a society, if we choose to. Domestic violence and sexual violence is prevalent in our culture. It is something I continue to read almost daily in our local newspaper. And I am sure I will continue
to read about, until we as a community make it so uncomfortable and unthinkable to strike out at our loved ones – verbally and physically when we get upset. Until we teach our children how to treat each other. Until we model respect in our relationships, nothing is going to change. There are small ripples taking hold in our community that I am very excited about. The TADA (Teens Against Dating Abuse) groups at Wabash High School and Southwood Jr.-Sr. High School have been busy this school year encouraging their peers to choose healthy relationships. In addition, the
members of the Hands of Hope Wabash County Advisory Council is working on a couple community events to further encourage non-violent relationships – one in July and one in October. And, Hands of Hope staff in Wabash County works daily to promote healthy interactions and assist victims who have been abused learn non-violent skills. It is through these initiatives and many others that fall outside of the work Hands of Hope is driving that can and will change the landscape in Wabash County. But it will not be long lasting and norms changing with-
out you. So if what I have written has motivated you to take action – great. It is as simple as a smile or a kind word and as comprehensive as changing policy to ensure that violence is not tolerated in your circle of influence. To learn more about Hands of Hope and the work being done in Wabash County email Megan Young, Hands of Hope Community Education Coordinator at mlong@famservices.com or Heidi Vandermark, Hands of Hope Victim’s Advocate at hvandermark@famservices.co m. – Linda Wilk
What about the Wabash River? Dear Editor: This is in reference to the mayor’s article in the Wabash Plain Dealer on river distinction. I think the mayor should get his priorities in order. Wabash is where his attention
should be. I talked to the park superintendent about cleaning the River Walk on April 18, 2016, and as of this date only two items have been removed. If the mayor is concerned about the “scenic river,” miles
north of us (the Eel River) he better think about “scenic Wabash.” Take a walk around Paradise Spring and along the river to the west and look at the trash and fallen trees and brush that should be cleaned
up. If we keep our own area clean that might attract more tourism. People floating the Wabash River are not likely to stop to see a brush dump or a landfill. – Red Hapner, Wabash.

THE PAPER 16 USDA establishes new partnerships to link underserved farmers to FSA programs www.thepaperofwabash.com
From the USDA
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department Agriculture (USDA) today announced cooperative agreements with 55 partners to educate farmers and other producers that have been underserved by USDA programs historically about Farm Service Agency (FSA) programs that provide financial, disaster or
technical support. Nearly $2.5 million will go to nonprofits, associations, universities, and foundations that will provide training and information on agricultural best practices, local networking opportunities, and more. “We’re always working to find new ways for our programs to reach more producers and create more jobs in agricul-
May 4, 2016
ture,” said FSA Administrator Val Dolcini. “The organizations selected as part of this effort share USDA’s priority of helping more Americans build successful farms and ranches.” FSA, which solicited applications last fall, received nearly 100 proposals that requested over $9 million in funding. Cooperative agree-
ments, encompassing more than 28 states, will be between $20,000 and $75,000 each and several involve multi-state or national efforts. A list of awardees can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/out reach. FSA also announced today that it is accepting proposals for consideration in the second evaluation period. Applications are due no later than July 11, 2016. Projects not selected during the first evaluation period will be reconsidered during the second period. Additional information on the funding solicitation and the related FSA programs can be found at http://www.grants.go v/ using reference number USDA-FSACA-2016-001. For nonprofits and public institutions of higher education that are considering participa-
tion, a recording of the online informational session held with stakeholders is posted on the web at www.fsa.usda.gov/out reach. USDA is also helping producers find an entry into farming through urban agriculture opportunities and the increasing consumer demand for locally-produced items. Under this Administration, USDA has invested more than $1 billion in over 40,000 local and regional food businesses and infrastructure projects. USDA is committed to helping farmers, ranchers, and businesses access the growing market for local and regional foods, which was valued at $12 billion in 2014 according to industry estimates. More information on how USDA investments are connecting producers with consumers and expand-
ing rural economic opportunities is available in Chapter IV of USDA Results on Medium. Since 2009, USDA has worked to strengthen and support American agriculture, an industry that supports one in 11 American jobs, provides American consumers with more than 80 percent of the food we consume, ensures that Americans spend less of their paychecks at the grocery store than most people in other countries, and supports markets for homegrown renewable energy and materials. USDA has also provided $5.6 billion of disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; expanded risk management tools with products like to Whole Farm Revenue Protection; and helped farm businesses grow with $36 billion in farm credit.
USDA has engaged its resources to support a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers by improving access to land and capital; building new markets and market opportunities; extending new conservation opportunities; offering appropriate risk management tools; and increasing our outreach, education, and technical support including 102,000 direct and guaranteed farm operating and ownership loans. USDA has also provided more than 18,000 microloans totaling over $406 million since the program began in January 2013. Nearly 89 percent of microloans, or more than $363 million, were used by new, beginning and underserved farmers to grow their farming operations. For more information, visit www.usda.gov/result s.

3 injured in head-on crash
Many of them find that it's surprisingly easy to make plans for how they want to be remembered, and report that they find comfort and even joy in the process.
Carol A. Snyder, 76 Retired teacher Aug. 26, 1939 – April 7, 2016
Three people, including two from Wabash, were injured about 3:30 p.m. Thursday in a twovehicle crash on State Road 15 near Harreld Road. According to an Indiana State Police press release, a pre-
liminary crash investigation by Indiana State Police Trooper Mario Cruz revealed that Pamela Miller, 19, Claypool, was driving a 2001 Volkswagen Beetle southbound on State Road 15 near Harreld Road. The Volkswagen allegedly crossed the centerline to pass a line of traffic. The Volkswagen
hit a northbound 2001 Cadillac Deville driven by Lisa Caley, 52, Wabash, head-on. Miller and Caley were flown from the crash scene, by a medical helicopter, to a Ft Wayne hospital. Both suffered internal injuries. Megan Cavins, 36, a passenger in the Cadillac, was transported by
ambulance to Marion General Hospital. She had non-life threatening injuries. This is an ongoing investigation, but at this time neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to this crash.

inquiries for information about our city and its small business owners.” The Wabash video explores the city’s can-do spirit and shows how despite problems, like vacant storefronts and crime, its most committed citizens are making a stand and betting on the power of small businesses and community action to turn a corner. Local officials have not seen the video. “The video was put together by Flow NonFiction, a production company based in Austin, Texas,” according to Steve Downs, Wabash Marketplace Inc. executive director. “Flow NonFiction was hired by Deluxe. It spent three days in Wabash in March and a couple more days earlier this month. We have not seen the finished product and will not see it until it is released on Deluxe’s website on May 3.” While he hasn’t seen the final product,
Downs believes he has a general idea of what will be included. “Based on being present at most of the interviews Flow NonFiction conducted of our local small business owners, the film will offer a compelling picture of what it means to be a small business owner in Wabash, Indiana,” he said. “Listening to our shop owners talk about their passion for what they are doing, as well as the challenges they face, was most affecting. “We walk by these shops every day, but taking the time to listen and learn about what it takes to stay in business was most enlightening and worthwhile. We have shop owners who have literally put their entire lives, and the lives of their families into their dreams. I have no doubt that the film will be a moving experience for all of us. “While Marketplace may have initially attracted Deluxe’s
attention to Wabash, it is our small business owners who got us to the top.” The city receiving the most votes between May 3-10 will receive $500,000 worth of market services, business advice and other support and improvements. The winning community also will be featured in an online series debuting on SmallBusinessRevolu tion.org later this fall. The series will star Robert Herjavec, the leading investor for the television program “Shark Tank.” “We believe that most of the $500,000 will go to the local businesses Deluxe selects to feature in its web series in the form of marketing products, programs and advice,” Downs said. “We are unsure if there is any actual cash that will be distributed. The balance will be awarded to the city to make aesthetic improvements to the downtown. “The publicity for
Wabash will be significant, both statewide and nationally.” Flohr said, “It’s rewarding when anyone recognizes the authentic level of community spirit that is abundant in W a b a s h . Entrepreneurs are encouraged to invest and the city and its organizations rally to help those small businesses in need. “We were so moved by the stories of these finalist towns, and we encourage everyone to view these compelling stories and cast their vote for which town should win the $500,000 revitalization,” Brinkman said. Local officials won’t know the identity of the other two nominees until it announced May 3 by Deluxe. “We believe that one is on the East Coast and the other is on the West Coast,” Downs said.
Former MU student faces murder charge ... continued from the front page Due to inconsistent information, as it related to the evidence, detectives from the North Manchester Police Department and the Indiana State Police started an investigation into the death of the infant
boy. During the investigation, detectives developed enough probable cause for an arrest warrant to be issued for Munn. The warrant alleged criminal charges for murder of the infant boy and neglect of a
dependent (the infant boy) resulting in death. The Wabash County Prosecutor’s Office and safety officers from Manchester University assisted in the investigation.

of the event and many expressed their gratitude for the event to Bartel. “They thanked Miller’s for the food,
talked about how delicious it is, talked about how many vendors are here and the great amount of people and the vast diver-
sity of the booths,” she explained. “It’s not just all healthcare so they’re just really excited. “I did talk with one
lady earlier and she did have a … couple of things she would like to see (next year).” Bartel said she welcomes the criticisms.
“That’s actually what we’re looking for on the surveys, what people are looking for to add next year,” she explained.
“We ended up having 41 booths this year, up from 25 last year and 28 in year one. “So we’re definitely moving in the right
direction.” Directly following the expo, seniors had the chance to participate in free bingo.
County residents to take to the polls
... continued from the front page
The lone local candidate on the Democratic ticket is Dave Monroe, a candidate for the Wabash County Council At-Large seat. Since filing, Monroe has withdrawn from the race. However, Monroe’s withdrawal was past the deadline for the printing of the ballot, hence, he is listed on the ballot. Republican candidates for state and federal offices are: President of the United States: Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, John R. Kasich, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Donald J. Trump. On the candidates listed, only Cruz, Kasich and Trump are actively campaigning. U.S. Senator: Marlin A. Stutzman and Todd Young. G o v e r n o r : Incumbent Michael R. Pence. U.S. House of Re p re s e n t at ive s, District 2: Jeff Petermann and Incumbent Jackie Walorski. Indiana House of Re p re s e n t at ive s, District 18: Incumbent David A. Wolkins. Democratic candidates for state and federal offices are: President of the United States: Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. U.S. Senator: Baron Hill Governor: John R. Gregg. U.S. House of Re p re s e n t at ive s, District 2: Douglas Carpenter and Lynn C. Coleman. Voters in the Wabash City Schools District will decide whether the district can impose a tax levy for the next seven years. If implemented, the levy would add a 28 cent per $100 assessed valuation for the next seven years to residents
within the WCS district. The funds would assist with the schools operating funds, which have been cut in recent years by the State of Indiana. The district has had a $318,000 s h o r t f a l l , Superintendent Jason Callahan noted in several talks supporting the levy. Voters can cast ballots from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 3, at one of 10 Vote Centers around Wabash County. Vote Centers are located at: First United Methodist Church, 110 N Cass St., Wabash Wellbrooke of Wabash, 20 N. John Kissinger Drive, Wabash Zion Lutheran Church, 173 Hale Drive, Wabash Liberty Township Fire Department, 12
S Wabash Ave., Lafontaine Lagro Town Hall, 230 Buchanan St., Lagro Pleasant Township Fire Department, 10459 N.

Chippewa St., Roann Woodlawn United Methodist Church, 150 N 2nd Street, Somerset. Early voting began in Wabash County on April 5 and ended at noon, Monday, May 2. During that time, more than 1,800 voters cast ballots in this year’s Primary Election. Indiana Secretary of State Connie
Lawson reminds voters headed to the polls on Tuesday of several things: Voters cannot bring election materials inside a polling location. Voters cannot wear items into a polling location supporting or opposing a candidate or issue. Voters cannot comment on another voter’s support of a candidate or issue inside a polling location. Voters are required to bring a Photo ID. Because this is a Primary Election, voters must declare whether they are voting as a Democrat or R e p u b l i c a n . However, those living within the Wabash City Schools District wishing to vote only on the referendum question do not have to declare a party affiliation.

Wimberly to head local Habitat for Humanity By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
Maggie Wimberly is the new executive director of the Wabash County Habitat for Humanity. In early October, Wimberly began serving the organization as the Interim Business Manager following previous executive director Steve Miller’s resig-
nation. Board of Directors president Dan Early said Wimberly was the best candidate for the job out of all of those interviewed. “I was incredibly excited that they had chosen me,” Wimberly told The Paper of Wabash County. “I was also a little in awe of the idea of orchestrating all the behind the scenes work so that the
board and other staff can accomplish all the good that I think this organization is capable of accomplishing.” A graduate of Manchester College, Wimberly has a background in finance and accounting. She also has experience in social services as she managed a volunteerrun food pantry and federal food give-away program for low-
income seniors for Living Well in Wabash County. Since she began serving interim, Wimberly has completed the American Banking Association’s Habitat for Humanity Loan Originator Compliance training, which allows her to write mortgages for the organization’s partner families. “Wabash County Habitat for Humanity’s mission works toward affordable home ownership for all,” Wimberly said. “We pursue this goal by
building strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. I think one of the biggest goals that I have for myself is to work well with board members, volunteers and donors to make a serious dent in the problem of affordable housing. “I also hope to continue to streamline operations so that donors’ dollars are used even more effectively.” A d d i t i o n a l l y, Wimberly also oversaw the ground breaking of Wabash County’s newest Habitat home at
MAGGIE WIMBERLY 490 Ferry St. in Wabash in early April. The organization partnered with the Eis family on the build project. Since it’s ground
breaking, the home now has a crawl space and sub-floor. Volunteers also worked to lay out top and bottom plates for the framing and worked on window headers for the first floor. Habitat is also continuing to accept applications for the next partner family through May 20. The home will be located in North Manchester and construction is expected to being in late July with move-in anticipated by late fall.

Garcia to perform at First Church of God By The Paper staff Jerry Garcia, Southern gospel recording artist from Adrian, Mich., will be in concert at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 15, at the First Church of God, 525 N Miami Street, Wabash. Highly endorsed by several Gaither H o m e c o m i n g Friends, Garcia performs with his rich vocals, powerful and uplifting worship,
humor, and life changing testimony. The mission of Jerry Garcia Ministries is simply to provide the absolute best in Southern Gospel music that is not only captivating and utmost professional, but more importantly, l i f e changing. Garcia’s No. 1 priority is to effectively use his gift of singing as an avenue to share God’s plan of salvation and
JERRY GARCIA to encourage the body of Christ.
“I have often wondered why God picked me to represent Him and His message of hope,” Garcia said. “But as I look back on my life, I realize that through His grace, He has been guiding and preparing me for this very work all along the way. I share how God has traveled along and helped me climb every mountain and march through every valley. My life is my
testimony.” Garcia has been in ministry since he sang his first song in church as a very young boy. Since then God has led him to sing in churches of almost every denomination. His efforts are devoted to relating to anyone who will listen to his music, the joyful message that God loves them and desires greatly to be their closest and most
reliable companion and that through Jesus Christ, life is victoriously possible. The public is invited to attend. There is no charge but seating is limited. A love offering will be
received for JLG Ministries. Following the concert, there will be a carry-in dinner at the REMC conference room. Meat, drinks and tableware will be furnished.

THE PAPER

2015 deer harvest up 3 percent from prior year By The Paper staff Indiana hunters harvested 123,664 deer during the 2015 season, according to data released today by the Department of Natural Resources. This is a 3 percent increase from the 120,073 deer taken during the 2014 season. However, the 2015 deer harvest in Wabash County dropped slightly from 2014, according to DNR figures. Last year, 1,329 deer were harvested in Wabash County, down nine from 2014. Of the
1,329 deer harvested, 598 were antlered, while the remaining 731 were antlerless. Across Indiana, the antlered deer harvest was 10 percent higher than the 2014 harvest, while the antlerless harvest was 1 percent lower than in 2014. The overall 2015 deer harvest ranks as the 10th highest in Indiana history. The 2015 antlerless deer harvest ranks 11th highest. To view the full report, go to widlife.IN.gov and locate “2015 Deer Report” in the “Hunting and Trapping” panel.
The 2015 season was composed of four statewide segments: youth (Sept. 26 -27); archery (Oct. 1 to Jan. 3); firearms (Nov. 1429); and muzzleloader (Dec. 5-20). A late antlerless season was available from Dec. 26 to Jan. 3 in 60 counties, with additional date restrictions for counties with “A” designated quotas. Also, hunters could harvest additional deer beyond the statewide bag limits in designated deer reduction zones during the deer reduction zone season which opened Sept. 15 and continued through Jan. 31.
Izzak Walton League plans fishing derby By The Paper staff The Wabash Chapter of the Izaak Walton League will host a kid’s fishing derby and annual open house on Saturday, May 7.
The fishing derby is open to the public and will run from noon to 2 p.m. Poles and bait will be furnished for those who need one and prizes will be awarded for different age groups.
The clubhouse is located near Somerset at 10439 S Old State Road 13. The group will also be part of the annual Somerset rummage sale which begins at 8 a.m.
Firearms season was the most productive, accounting for 72,555 deer, or 59 percent of the total harvest. Archery season accounted for 32,753 deer, or 26 percent, followed by the muzzleloader season with 10,784 (9 percent), special antlerless firearms season with 5,105 (4 percent) and youth season with 2,467 (2 percent). The total number of deer taken with a firearm during the deer reduction zone season was incorporated with the firearms season total, while the total taken with archery equipment was included in the
archery season total. Harvest exceeded 1,000 deer in 58 counties, 2,000 in 17 counties and 3,000 in one county. Harrison County was the top producer for the third season, with 3,227 deer taken. Benton County had the fewest deer taken (90), followed by Tipton County (114). The nine counties after Harrison with the greatest harvest in descending order were: Washington (2,891), Franklin (2,890), Switzerland (2,653), Noble (2,624), Dearborn (2,559), Steuben (2,523), Lawrence (2,502), Parke (2,390) and
C r a w f o r d (2,370). Three counties set unofficial record harvests in 2015. They were Dubois (2,040), Henry (601) and Lawrence (2,502). For the first
time, all harvested deer were checked in electronically. Hunters have harvested approximately 3.5 million deer during 64 hunting seasons in Indiana.

Zoomers open house to show customer appreciation By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Zoomers RV will be hosting its second annual Customer Appreciation Days on Friday, May 6, and Saturday, May 7. Friday will be Military Day while Family Day will fol-
low on Saturday, according to Michael Weaver, business owner. “On Friday, we’re going to be catering to the ‘zoomers,’ the baby boomers with zip,” Weaver told The Paper of Wabash County with a chuckle. All of the business’
demo representatives will be on site to demonstrate products and answer any questions, he continued. Every unit purchased is going to get a $300 in-store credit and there will be give away every hour. “It’s a customer appreciation (event),” Chris Sanchez,
Remember Mom!
Zoomers media coordinator, said. “School’s about to get out. It’s a good time (to get a new RV). The products that are here are family oriented. So it’s just a nice time to kick off the new year.” “The beginning of summer fun,” Weaver added. “They can get their new unit right now and be completely ready to go when the kids get out of school in a couple more weeks.” Poole Foods will also be catering the event with a smoke
trailer both days of the event. Zoomers is a full service dealer that carries 12 brands of new RVs “and we’ve got the best new selection of super clean quality motor homes and trailers probably in the Midwest,” according to Weaver. The event is for locals and out-oftowners alike. “There will be people here the weekend of the open house from a thousand miles away,” Weaver said. “This open house is
2005, as Trucks Plus in Wabash and originally sold diesel pickup trucks for two years. In 2007, he began selling used-only RVs, with the majority of the business through eBay, according to Weaver. “Then eBay started to tank in 2011, so in 2011-2012, we picked up our first brand of new travel trailers and then on Jan. 1, 2013, I said we’re done with online auctions and changed … the name to Zoomers,” Weaver said.
something for locals too,” Sanchez added. “It really is because Mike is a community oriented business owner who supports the local economics of Wabash County. So even though there will be people (coming) from a thousand miles away—“ “It’s also for the people here,” Weaver said. The takeaway from the event is that Zoomers is a friendly, RV dealership, according to Sanchez. Weaver began his business on May 5,

County Council shows support to Visitor’s Bureau plan By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
The Wabash County Council unanimously voted Monday, April 25, to support the Visit Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau’s (CVB) 2017 budget expansion of $150,000. Christine Flohr, CVB executive director of tourism, presented the budgeting plan to the council at its Monday meeting. “We start working on our budget now so
that we can discuss it as a board of directors before we present (it to the council in June) formally,” Flohr told the council, “and we were looking at our budget, our focuses were specifically on our marketing return, our target marketing areas and how we address meeting those goals and so in addition to drafting a budget, I have put together an Expansion of Services plan that you all have.” The plan will
enable the tourism office “to meet the demands of the attracting visitor spending,” according to Flohr. The impact of tourism drives Wabash County, she continued. “For every dollar spent, 68 cents stays here,” she said. “So think about it, if we don’t have visitors to come visit, we don’t have currently enough census to support our local businesses. We depend on tourism. Tourism
Hicks named Roann town marshal By Amanda Bridgman abridgman@nmpaper.com
ROANN — There’s a new marshal in the town of Roann. It’s Steve Hicks, 19year road officer at the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, and he started his part-time marshal duties April 14. “I grew up in Roann,” Hicks said. “It really is a win-win.” He’ll keep watch over Roann when he’s off duty from WCSD and work his own hours, Hicks said, mostly night shifts. It really won’t be anything new for Hicks. He’s been Roann’s night watchman for the past few years, and it wasn’t until recently when the town wanted him to start enforcing ordinances and general law enforcement duties that Roann’s first town marshal position was created. “They have a small budget,” Hicks said. “But that’s why I love it.
Part-time job, part-time wages. I love Roann, and I really want to keep it a nice town.” Hicks said he won’t be doing any traffic patrol or changing his night watchman routine that much in the new marshal position. “I’ll do ordinance enforcement in the daytime,” he said. But the point of the position was getting Hicks, who is a qualified law enforcement officer, on the town’s payroll. Hicks said this gives him full arresting powers and also means Roann will pay him separately and the town is responsible for all liability while he’s on their watch. Sheriff Bob Land had to also approve Hicks’ new, dual law enforcement employment. Town residents and interested citizens can see what Hicks is up to on the Roann Town Marshals Office Facebook Page.
“I started a Facebook Page because you have to have that communication with the people, otherwise you’re shooting yourself in the foot.” Hicks said he will wear plain clothes, his badge of authority and as always, his body camera. “Roann’s a good little town, just like the other little towns in Wabash County,” he said. Instead of calling the sheriff ’s department to report a crime, Hicks is in now in position and equipped to handle whatever the job may bring. “That’s my hometown,” Hicks said. It’s not about the money, it’s not about the title, it’s about protecting what Roann has left. “The Roann covered bridge was an arson case,” he said. “And it’s never been solved.” Hicks has a wife, Jennifer, and two daughters ages 13 and 20 months.

leads to hopefully people opening their businesses here or looking at the quality of life of the people who live here … and they may want to relocate here.” Flohr said also broke down the importance of tourism and what it costs to market in the areas that tourists are visiting from, such as Fort Wayne, Chicago and Indianapolis. “I’ll be honest, our currently operating budget doesn’t support that,” Flohr con-
tinued. “I truly believe we’re excellent stewards of the money that we have received.” Currently, the CVB’s marketing budget is around $20 thousand, she continued. The County Council’s vote was to show the CVB support in submitting the marketing budget expansion and to also request that Flohr “start this year,” according to Mike Ridenour, council chair.
“We are all aware of the investment cost of the county,” Ridenour told The Paper of Wabash County in a follow up interview. “This is why we not only asked her to submit the budget request this summer for 2017, but asked her to start yet this year and told her to file for an additional appropriation request at our May meeting because of the confidence we have in this greatly impacting our local economy. “This amount will
be half of the annual amount, or $75 thousand.” In his personal opinion, Ridenour said he hopes the council will vote to use the Special Distribution funds, which were distributed to the county on April 25, toward her request. “To me, the perfect idea was to spend this money on something, anything related to improving our local economy,” he explained.

Bash Boutique hosts March of Dimes fundraiser May 7 By The Paper staff To support the local chapter for the March of Dimes, Bash Boutique will be donating 10 percent of its sales on Saturday, May 7, to support the cause.

children at Bash Boutique—we even have a special play space devoted to kids who visit our store,” owner Amber Noone said. “So, in keeping with our mission to serve others – especially little ones – we believe it is so imperative for all of us to help sustain the vital work of the March of Dimes, particularly as it endeavors to improve the health and well-being of the youngest and most vulnerable among us.” Bash Boutique is located at 40 W.

Wabash woman charged in connection to Wabash Police Department theft By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
A Wabash woman has been arrested in connection to a recent theft from the Wabash Police Department. Morgan L. Ritter, 23, Wabash, was booked into the Wabash County Jail following a WPD investigation stemming from an April 18 incident. On April 18, Detective John Krhin observed money missing from an envelope he had placed outside his office, according to the probable cause
affidavit. Krhin informed Drug Task Force Officers Ryan Baker and Matt Shrider of the missing money, the documents continued. Baker noted that there was money missing from a secondary envelope located in the mailroom, which was meant to collect funds to replace a local child’s trampoline, according to the affidavit. “We then spoke with Chief (Matt) Bruss and Assistant Chief (Bob) Pilgrim,” Krhin wrote in the affidavit. “We all
MORGAN L. RITTER decided to place money, which was photocopied, into each envelope and see if it was messed with either during the
week or over the next weekend. Baker and Shrider also set up surveillance cameras covering each envelope.” On April 24, officers detained Ritter in connection with the missing money, which she denied any involvement, the court documents continued. “After I arrived I interviewed her. Ritter continued to deny this,” Krhin said. “Shrider arrived and found the video showing Ritter taking money from each envelope. I showed her a snippet of one video
and she finally began to admit what she had done.” She advised officers she had been cleaning the WPD for three weeks and the weekend of April 16-17 was her first time cleaning on her own, during which time she took the money, the court documents continued. Ritter informed officers she had also taken the envelope money on April 24 and already bought drugs with it, according to Krhin’s statement. “Capt. (John) Burnsworth had told me that he found
(Ritter) in her car going down East Street, just off of Erie Street, almost immediately after she had left the department and he had checked that the envelopes were empty,” Krhin said. Ritter told officers she had purchased heroin with the funds, Krhin continued. At one point, Ritter told officers she needed to use the restroom and Jail Officer Daleena Bailey escorted her to the restroom, according to the court documents. “...when Ritter was
done I heard Bailey telling her not to flush and saying she could see money in the toilet,” Krhin said. “Ritter was escorted out by Bailey and cuffed. I looked in the toilet and could see money folded up sitting in the urine water. … Ritter advised this money was some of the money taken from WPD this day.” Ritter was charged with felony obstruction of justice and three counts of conversion.

THE PAPER
www.thepaperofwabash.com
May 4, 2016
Wabash County entities receives more than $4 million for infrastructure, other expenses... continued from page 28
Library $46,254.95 —Roann Public Library $7,509.38 —Wabash Public Library $121,461.90 The Wabash County Council — which received $1,887,879.33 of the distribution — voted at its Monday, April 25, meeting to place its remaining 25 percent, $47,969.83, into the Rainy Day Fund. Prior to the vote,
Council Chairman Mike Ridenour explained why the county received the distributions. During the latest Legislative session, “the lawmakers decided they wanted to give us money for road funding,” Ridenour told the council Monday. “So in order to give us money for road
funding from the sources of that revenue that it typically comes from, they said at the same time that your trust balances are higher than they really need to be. They don’t need to be that high,” he continued. “So they’re basically taking some of our trust balance, like CAGIT and CEDIT, and they’re giving it to us and say-
ing ‘Ok.’” The monies for local government to help and improve roads is typically funded through the fuel tax, Ridenour told The Paper of Wabash County in a follow-up interview. Of its total $1,887,879.33 distribution, the County Council received $1,474,931.12 from
CAGIT funds and $412,948.21 from CEDIT funds. Council Vice Chair Bill Ruppel noted that the council recently amended the Rainy Day fund that its funds would be used toward the Wabash County Jail construction. “That was the last amendment,” he continued. “Now you can re-amend the Rainy
Day fund.” “Exactly,” Ridenour replied. “That’s going to be spoken about too. … So I have a motion and a second, and like he said we did change it for new jail construction and I have it in here somewhere, but that’s at our will to change the way that reads as we changed it for that specific purpose.”
The council voted 7-0 to place the funds in its Rainy Day fund. Wabash ClerkTreasurer said that the city will likely set up a separate line item in its budget for its portion of the fund which will go into the infrastructure. The council will then have to decide what to do with the remaining 25 percent of the funds.
