Naloxone training to begin soon Training will help reverse drug overdoses, officials say By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com Free community training with a drug to reduce the effects of opioids will soon by available to Wabash County. Wabash County Public Health Nurse Lori Foust received permission Monday, Oct. 2, from the county commissioners to conduct the training using kits as part of a grant from the Indiana State Department of Health (IDoH. “We have support from Dr. [James] Rudolph at the ER, and we also have a letter from the Bowen Center supporting the program and a request from White’s Residential to conduct training there to

provide naloxone to the public,” Foust said. “We’re going to do trainings with interested entities such as White’s Residential and local fire departments and people from the public who want to come in. They have to be trained to administer naloxone, and we will keep training records saying that they have been trained to administer it. “We have had requests from the public to provide this service, and then the grant came through the State Department of Health, so it seemed like perfect timing to do it.” The state will supply 250 kits to the Wabash County Health Department, and

department representatives will then train and supply interested parties with the opioid inhibitor. According to the IDoH website, naloxone is a non-narcotic medication that can reverse respiratory failure caused by overdosing on heroin or certain prescription opioids if administered soon enough. Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department and Wabash City Fire Department are among the local public safety entities who will receive training. WCSD, Wabash City Police Department and North Manchester Police Department all began carrying the medication under the brand Narcan

5 join WHS’ Hall of Distinction By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash High School’s fourth annual Hall of Distinction Ceremony inducted five alumni on Saturday, Sept. 30, adding their names to the list of other honorees like Crystal Gayle and Gene Stratton-Porter. Alumni David A. Haist, Kim Grogg Marin, Walter Cecil “W.C.” Mills, Julia Swain Thom and Marie Daugherty Webster were honored for their accomplishments, service to others and enrichment of Wabash City Schools’ history, according to Jason Callahan, WCS Superintendent. Haist graduated from WHS in 1969. While a distinguished attorney today, Haist was “a virtual song and dance man in high school,” according to Callahan. After graduating, Haist attended Manchester College receiving a degree in 1973 with a double major in business and economics. “By then, wanting more challenges in life, Haist attended law school,” Callahan said. “David Haist joined the Fort Wayne offices of the Barnes and Thornburg law firm, and during his time with them rose to become a managing partner. Continuing his quest for challenges, he left the law firm in 1997 to become general counsel and vice president for corporate affairs for the international hardware cooperative, Do It Best.” While he rose in the career field, “David Haist never forgot his past or an opportunity to help others,” the superintendent continued. Haist has served on boards for the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo, Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance, the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne, the Honeywell Foundation and Parkview Health Systems. He is married to Sandra Cleveland Haist, whom without he would be lost,

in after being trained in July thanks to a separate grant from the Indiana Attorney General’s office. According to the IDoH website, Wabash County had 25 non-fatal emergency department visits due to opioids overdoses in 2015. While information specific to Wabash County is unavailable, there were 529 opioid overdose deaths in Indiana in 2015, up from 452 the previous year, according to IDoH data. In other health-related news from the commissioners’ meeting, the board also approved an ordinance modifying the county’s smoking ordinance to include vaping and electronic cigarettes.

Smokehouse to open at former Joe’s By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

This year, five alumni were inducted for their accomplishments. Photo by Emma Rausch Haist said after receiving his plaque. During the ceremony, Haist thanked the Hall of Distinction committee for the honor. “When Jason mentioned to me a few months ago that I might be receiving this award, I think said something kind of like, ‘Get out of here,’” he said, receiving a few chuckles from the audience. “But honestly, I mean it is a bit overwhelming to be recognized with a group of folks like Kim Grogg ... and other honorees today and past recipients.” He later added, “I had a great experience at Wabash. As Jason’s comments had indicated, I was a late bloomer, certainly academically, but thanks to the help of a lot of teachers here and their great administrators, they certainly prepared me well for the challenges I had at Manchester and ultimately at law school.

“So this is certainly an honor I never expected to receive, one that I don’t deserve, but certainly one that I’ll cherish forever.” Grogg Marin, a WHS 1976 graduate, is a renowned New York City theater director. “Kimberly Grogg Marin’s career in theater began when her kindergarten teacher caught her skipping nap time and singing and dancing in front of the bathroom mirror,” Callahan said. Upon graduating from WHS, she attended Indiana University and received a diploma in theater and drama. After spending 10 years in Los Angeles, she moved to New York City and severed as the Hewitt School in Manhattan drama director for eight years. “With a multifaceted career as a teacher, choreographer, director and (continued on page 3)

Not Your Average Joe’s has closed, but the restaurant will soon be reopened with a new name, look and menu. Restaurant owners Trent and Diane Miller originally opened Joe’s Diner in 2008 at the intersection of U.S. 24 and State Road 13 before the couple moved the restaurant in 2013 to it’s current location at 380 Manchester Ave., renaming it Not Your Average Joe’s. “We’ve been doing this almost 10 years,” Mrs. Miller told The Paper of Wabash County, adding that they and the restaurant are ready for a change. “Wabash does not have a barbeque or a smokehouse and we just thought that it’d be nice to offer something that we don’t have around here. “Trent likes to use the smoker, we like that kind of food and we were looking for something to streamline our (menu items). We went from (more than) 100 menu items down to about 35 and we’re just looking to try something new and different, and bring something new into the community that we don’t have right now.” On Sept. 10, Not Your Average Joe’s officially closed for good, but in October, the Millers will reopen their restaurant at 380 Smokehouse & Grill, a “simple” name that developed from the restaurant’s location at 380 Manchester Ave. “We’re doing the remodel by ourselves … and we’re hoping to be back open right around the middle of October,” Mrs. Miller said. “They’re going to see a whole new menu as far as barbeque goes. They’re going to see pulled pork, ribs, brisket, chicken. What we are concentrating on is made from scratch. Everything is going to be made from scratch that day. “We’re shooting from fresh and local. We’re trying to purchase as much of stuff (continued on page 2)

by a need to catch up to technology,” County Attorney Steve Downs said. “The other ordinance prohibited smoking nicotinetype products. Now we have vaping, electronic cigarettes, all

kinds of other things, and the language in the [new] ordinance expands the definition of smoking to include all of those types of things, not just smoking of tobacco products.”

5 join WHS’ Hall of Distinction teacher, choreographer, director and performer, Marin has worked on (more than) 100 musical theater productions…,” Callahan said. “Her favorite theatrical experiences are the world premiere productions that she directed in her hometown of Wabash. Those are ‘Wait ‘Til You Get to Wabash’ and ‘Light Up the Town.’” Grogg Marin founded Sign-nasium, a nonprofit organization aimed at helping struggling artists, and serves on the boards of the Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs and St. George Theater on Staten Island. She is married to Rich Marin. Following her plaque presentation, Grogg Marin said she was so proud and honored to be inducted into WHS’s Hall of Distinction. “First of all, this recognition is truly amazing and to think that I’m going to be with such good company out in the Hall of Distinction for many years to come, I’m very honored,” she said. “Thank you very much.” Mills, Swain Thom and Daugherty Webster were honored postmortem for their accomplishments and adding to the WCS legacy. Mills grew up attending Southside Elementary School and later graduated from WHS in 1913. “After high school, Mills began a career in service as he attended the Fairmount Friends Academy,” Callahan said. “From this training, Mills traveled to Helena, Ark., to serve as a missionary to teach African American students at the Quaker-sponsored Southland College.” During his trip, Mills married Rosa Chalfant. Together, the pair raised three children in Wabash. From 1921 to 1950, “W.C. Mills served Wabash in all things community service” as a director of a Wabash-based community service program, according to Callahan. “During this tenure, Mr. Mills reestablished scouting programs for both boys and girls,” he

said. “Mr. Mills created summer camps that served thousands of children. He created basketball and softball leagues, worked to develop ice skating on Dyke’s pond and sledding on Fisher Street hill. “W.C.’s work was a key driver to the erection of the Honeywell Center.” He passed away on Nov. 22, 1965. Julia Swain Thom, a WHS 1922 graduate, was an “outstanding student” and went on to become distinguished child psychiatrist. While attending medical school for her degree in ophthalmology, she met her future husband J.W. Thom. “During the Depression years, she and her husband opened a joint medical office in the Owen County town of Gosport,” Callahan said. “The office was called the Doctors Thom. When her husband was serving in the Pacific in World War II, Thom moved the medical office to Spencer, the county seed of Owen County.” Thom and her husband eventually moved to Indianapolis to be physicians with the Office of Veteran Affairs. “Thom was a pioneer in the field of child counseling,” Callahan said. “She conducted a private practice in psychiatry in addition to being a mental health director at various clinics.” After retiring at the age of 61, she returned to Owen County where she became a “master” weaver and fabric artist. Marie Daugherty Webster graduate from WHS in 1878 and went on to become an established quilter. “After receiving all of her education in Wabash City Schools, Daugherty graduated in 1878, the ninth graduating class of Wabash High School,” Callahan said. “She wanted to go to college, but her parents felt (she was) too frail to go. Instead she learned the plain and fancy sewing skills from her mother at the same time of reading and studying Greek and Latin at home.” In 1840, Daugherty

married George Webster Jr. and together the pair lived in Marion. “In 1905, unable to find a quilt applique pattern that she liked, Webster designed one of her own,” Callahan said. “This quilt, called the ‘American Beauty Rose,’ was sent to the Women’s Home Journal, a leading publication at the time. The editor asked her to submit more designs. Four designs were featured in the Jan. 1, 1911, issue of the magazine. “The 1 1/2 million readers made Webster’s designs an overnight success. In the next 10 years, Webster created 12 new quilt patterns and nine pillow patterns.” She then started a mail-order pattern and quilt business called Practical Patchwork Company. The Quilters Hall of Fame currently resides in Daugherty Webster’s former home in Marion. Before concluding the induction ceremony, Callahan said, “One of the things I love (about) being an educator is the idea of potential, and I love this event because we see potential realized. “We hear about successes from past graduates and yet we also have students who are

Daughtry and her husband, Matt, have three sons, Trenton, Trevor and Treyce.

Receiving the titles of Mr. and Mrs. Alumni is “very honoring,” according to Daughtry. “I’m just pleased that I can represent our high school and continue to be a member of Wabash and the City of Wabash, be involved in a lot of the school atmosphere and just enjoy the wonderful school,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s just a

and I personally was pretty well pleased with where we ended up or where we thought we were going to be at from the amount previous to that.” Councilmember Matt Dillon was the sole vote against the budget’s adoption. “There’s a little bit that I was kind of curious and we kind of discussed it at the budget hearings about some totals and increases over the last year,” Dillon told The Paper of Wabash County, “and I kind of had questions about where those numbers come from and why it increased so much and I’ve been a little unable to figure that out. So at this time, I just didn’t feel like it was right.” Dillon said his worry wasn’t about the county departments’ budgets. “They all balanced well,” he said. “It was just questions about where the stuff comes from with the state’s numbers and I felt the council did a good job of balancing things out, but … they had some uncertainties.” The council’s official adopted budget, which lists individual department budgets, was not posted on Indiana Gateway by The Paper of Wabash County’s deadline on Monday, Oct. 2.

County BZA rejects CAFO variance Facility to be built anyway in site in which variance isn’t needed By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash County Board of Zoning Appeals rejected a request for a variance to allow a concentrated animal feeding

operation to be located at a LaFontaine farm. However, the father and son seeking the request – Dave and Jeremy Milliner – said the CAFO will still be built on the farm, just in a location that doesn’t need a variance. The Milliners needed the variance, according to County Plan Commissioner Mike Howard, because the proposed

site of the CAFO was closer to residential facilities than the 1,320-foot setback required by the county ordinance. Jeremy Milliner told the BZA members that the family was “trying to do its due diligence with building these buildings. We’re trying to find a locate that affects the least amount of people the least.” One reason they

chose the site, he said, was because of prevailing winds. Locating it elsewhere on the property, according to wind studies by the National Weather Service, would affect more people with smell than would happen if located where the family wanted to place it. Another reason, Milliner said, is because the structures would be closer to the existing utilities. About a half dozen neighbors were on hand, complaining about the plan. Some raised the concern of smell coming from

the facility, while others were concerned about how waste would be handled from the facility. Others were concerned about what runoff from the facility would do to creeks and private wells. The Milliners said the CAFO they plan to build is a state-of-theart facility that is the first of its kind to be built. It has sophisticated new ways to deal with animal waste and other concerns raised by the residents. The family said this isn’t the first time they have raised hogs at the site. A hog operation on

the farm ceased operation about 2000 when the prices dropped. “We’re just trying to keep the farm

THE PAPER

October 4, 2017

VIEWPOINT Wake up, Wabash Dear Editor: I just wanted to give a shout out to the youth, as well as the parents, of Wabash County concerning the issues with the drug problems we’ve seen rising over the years in our community. I am currently incarcerated in Michigan City at the Indiana State Prison due to my past involvement with drugs and the lifestyle that came with it. I am a former Wabash County resident and have lived there most of my life. I love reading The Paper of Wabash County every week and enjoy seeing the growth and fellowship in our small community. The City of Wabash has come such a long way just in the 33 years I’ve been alive. One thing that does sadden me is the continual rates of overdoses and deaths in our town. I am tired of reading and hearing of people I know personally, as well as the younger generation, becoming victims of fatal overdoses. When is enough enough? What can we do to assure our friends and family and especially our children never become a fatal statistic in the number of drug overdoses in our community? I think educating our children at a young age is essential in preventing drug use and saves them from even a possibility of becoming addicted in their teenage and young adult lives. As parents we have the responsibility of going the extra mile to ensure our kids are well educated and protected from the harmful influEducating ences and conseour children at quences of drug use. There are a young age is many truths about essential in drugs that if we preventing don’t teach our kids, somebody drug use. else will. Our kids shouldn’t have to learn the hard way. They should never have to deal with a parent’s death or incarceration. They should never have to deal with struggling with the bondage of addiction themselves or having to watch their friends go through it, either. As a man dealing with the consequences of drug use and crimes related to it, I am so very driven to reach out to the people in our community. Live is too precious to gamble it away on something so dangers and shortlived. Every time a person shoves a needle in their arm they are playing a game of Russian roulette. Every time a person sells a drug to another person, they are dealing them a dose of death. That’s something to think about if you’re an addict or drug dealer. Do you really want to play a role in destroying lives? Do you want to see your children growing up by photographs because you’re locked up in prison? Do you really want to hear that someone you live is no longer with us because of an overdose? If it were not for the grace of God, I would not be alive today writing this letter and reaching out to others. I would be six feet in a grave somewhere. So, while I am still living, I want to make it a personal mission to save lives and to be here to watch my own children succeed in life. I hope to see lives being changed and people choosing life. We all can do or part in helping others. Remember, if we don’t become a part of the solution, we may become part of the problem. – Donald G. Stevens III, Indiana State Prison, Michigan City

Early childhood ed opportunities needed Dear Editor: As President & CEO of Grow Wabash County, as well as the father of a young child, the issue of early childhood education is one I’m very aware of, both professionally and personally. At Grow Wabash County, we’re focused on building a prosperous community through economic and community development. We recently partnered with the Wabash County Early Childhood E d u c a t i o n Committee (funded by the Community Foundation of Wabash County) to learn more about the impact of early childhood education on employers. We anonymously surveyed 100 employers, and discovered the following: — Two-thirds of employers said their employees have missed work due to issues related to child care; — Almost half of employers said they have experienced employees who were unable to focus at work because of child care issues; — One-fourth said

CCS

Letters to the Editor they have experienced difficulty recruiting and hiring employee’s due to a lack of child care options; — Only one employer responded that their business offers an employersponsored child care program (such as helping to pay for child care or securing a certain number of slots at a child care designated for employees). The results of the survey indicated to our committee that we need to do better. While we have some great options in our community for high quality and affordable early childhood education, there is a shortage of available spots for working families who desperately need this service. The lack of these available spots affects business development in our community. From our survey, we have heard that this is also making it more

difficult for our companies to recruit and retain talented workers. This means less people moving to our community, and putting money back into our local economy. It creates hardships on our working families, on our employers, and has a negative rollover effect as the years go on from these missed opportunities. As a parent, child care played a big part in my family’s decision when we moved to Wabash County. In late 2014, I took a position at the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash. It was a great move for my family and Wabash County was a community I was excited to live in. One major kink, however, was child care. My wife and I are not from this community and we don’t have family

living close by who could help with child care or even just with watching our son. We both work and knew that we would need to enroll our son in a child care program. What we found was that we were placed on numerous waiting lists from in-home providers to the highest quality care facilities in our community because there weren’t any openings available for my son. At one point, we suspended our search for a home in Wabash County due to our inability to find a solution. Thankfully after several weeks and a lot of help from my board of directors and other community leaders, I was able to secure a spot for my son. This struggle opened my eyes up to the challenges

other families with young children and new residents coming to make a home in Wabash County must face – if I can’t find a childcare solution with some of the contacts I had by virtue of my position alone, what are others doing that didn’t inherit that same network? Are we as a community turning away talented employees, entrepreneurs, or even new businesses because we can’t fulfill that need? Are our families that already live here facing some of the same challenges? Of the 100 employers surveyed, over half put child care as a top issue in Wabash County. It’s something that can’t be ignored — for our families, for our employers and for the economic health of our entire community. — Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, CEcD MPA President/CEO Grow Wabash County

This award is described on the Daughters of the American Revolution website as: The DAR Good Citizens Award and Scholarship Contest, created in 1934, is intended to encourage and reward the qualities

of good citizenship. This award recognizes and rewards individuals who possess the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism in their homes, schools, and communities.

Huntington man faces possession of stolen property charge From the ISP Recently, a criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Josh Maller resulted in the arrest of Donnie Horne, 38, rural Huntington. Master Trooper Gary Shenefield served Horne a Hamilton Superior Court IV arrest warrant alleging a felony charge for possession of stolen property. Horne was arrested at his place of employment in Whitley County. He was incarcerated in the Whitley County Jail awaiting transport to Hamilton County. In July 2017, Maller initiated a criminal investigation, at the request of the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, into the theft of a New Holland tractor. The tractor was valued at approximately $10,000. Maller’s investigation revealed the tractor was stolen from a Roann farm on July 5, 2017, and sold at a Hamilton County auction, for $4,500, on July 6, 2017. Further investigation revealed that Horne was allegedly the person who sold the tractor at the auction. There was also a stolen tiller attached to the tractor when it was sold at the auction. The tiller had allegedly been stolen on July 3, 2017, from a Huntington County barn. This is an ongoing investigation.

Unger withdraws plans for Unger Mountain By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Unger Mountain is no more. Sean Unger, owner of the 50-foot climbing tower, appeared before the Wabash County Board of Zoning Appeals on Tuesday, Sept. 26, for permission to locate the wall on another portion of land owned by his parents, Sam and Deanna Unger. The wall has been the subject of much scrutiny for several months, for some neighbors believe that it was originally built on land that was part of the Legacy Ridge subdivision. Unger and his wife, Natalie, believe they purchased that portion of land from Dr. and Mrs. Brad Farlow. However, neighbors contend the sale wasn’t official under the subdivision’s covenant. On Sept. 7, the Wabash County Plan Commission refused to recommend the county BZA approve the variance request. Once refused, Unger discussed plans to relocate the wall to a portion of land owned by his parents. However, Unger told the board Tuesday night that he was withdrawing his request for the variances and would not pursue locating Unger Mountain on their property. “I’ve been talking with my parents, and I’m exhausted,” he said. “I’ve had a very good life. This is the hardest thing I’ve had

to deal with in my life. I never intended to build this and be invasive with my neighbors.” His mother, Deanna Unger, later told the board that she had an official from the Department of Homeland Security tour the land to provide recommendations to what needed to be done. Among those improvements, she said, was equipping two barns with a sprinkler system in case of fire. The Homeland Security official did suggest several other alternatives, including a haunted forest, hiking trails and scenic overlooks. “However, without being able to use the barns, we didn’t think it would be worth it to put the expense into something we would not be able to recoup the cost of,” Mrs. Unger said. So, for now, she said, they are just limiting access to friends and family members. “With all the hassles we’ve been going through with just a couple of neighbors this year … we aren’t even sure if we will even do that or not,” she continued. “We’ll leave that to the future for our son or grandchildren.” Although the request for special exception was withdrawn, Unger said he is instead seeking to give the wall to others who have the ability to operate the structure, “As far as the current tower, I know what it can do for the

community,” he said. “I haven’t given up on finding a proper home (for it) in this community. I will donate it. I haven’t made a dime on it. Not one dime.” He said he is talking with a group about possibly taking the climbing wall, noting, “I’m not going to say much more about it. I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I’ve done that before.” He also said he has a backup plan if the initial plan doesn’t work out. “I would almost be happier if it works out this way, as far as what it can do to the community,” Unger said. He added that he doesn’t want to see it somewhere along the proposed Wabash River Trail. “I’ve seen how this community has been divided by this river trail,” he said. “I feel for everyone on both sides. I hope that it will come to a conclusion soon. I don’t want it on the river trail I’ve had people tell me, ‘I’ve got the perfect spot for it.’ “No that’s not what Unger Mountain is about. It may have a black eye because of the problems I’ve had with a couple of my adjoining neighbors. But, for the most part, I think it has been a positive thing.” Unger said that his insurance on the climbing wall is good for about six more weeks. During that time, he will be bringing people in to consider taking ownership. Once the insurance expires he will

begin dismantling it. “I have no reason to believe that parts of it, or all of it, won’t be erected throughout this community,” he said. In the meantime, two neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Lochner and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Wendt, are still concerned about the legality of the land purchase the Ungers made from the Farlows. Unger told the BZA that he has met with Greg Metz and Barry Bunnell and both assure him that the land is legally his. Lochner told the BZA members that he is concerned about trying to get the Legacy Ridge covenant “back into place.” “Our understanding is the land needs to go back to the Farlows,” Lochner continued. The Wendt’s attorney, Pat Hess, told the board members that Metz ensured that “the deed would be recorded, and it was recorded. What everyone is overlooking is Lot 2 in Legacy Ridge was divided. If you do that, under county ordinance, it you have to replat it. They tried and it was denied. “(Unger) got a plat of land and he paid money for it. What I am saying is the transfer was done in violation of the subdivision control ordinance.” Unger said he plans to return to the Plan Commission meeting on Oct. 5 in case the matter of the land sale is discussed.

City OKs issuance of bonds By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash City Council has approved a resolution to issue up to $8.02 million of bonds for the city’s Redevelopment Commission. The council approved the measure 4-0-1 on Monday, Sept. 25, with Councilmember Marc Shelley abstaining. The bonds will last through Feb. 1, 2029, and, according to the resolution, will be used “to refund prior obligations together with the additional projects, and finance the costs of issuances of the bonds.” In 2012, the city approved the issuance of bonds for

redevelopment initiatives, according to Richard Starkey, an attorney with Barnes & Thornburg, Indianapolis. The Council “issued bond anticipation notes (BAN) with the idea we had more work for the business park and we knew more things would be coming,” he said. In 2015, the council approved issuance of bonds and BANs for the additional projects. “We’re at the point where under state statutes BANs issued in 2012 must be reissued and refinanced because you can only have them out for five years,” he continued. “That’s as long as you’re allowed to have them before you issue bonds.”

In addition to continuing to finance projects from 2012 and 2015, an additional project, the building of a bridge at the Northeast Business Park. Mayor Scott Long said the work at the park includes “the extension of Ringel Avenue across (Charley) Creek, so it’s a bridge, the extension of the road and the extension of utility service to the other side of the creek in preparation of that 90 acres being available should someone say we want to open a factory.” “We thought it was prudent at this time to do it,” he continued. “We have TIF revenue to pay for it.” The bridge may or may not be built, according to Keith

Ivy Tech Warsaw to offer ag course By The Paper staff

WARSAW — Beginning spring 2018, Ivy Tech’s Warsaw Site will begin offering agriculture options Next semester, Ivy Tech Community College’s Warsaw Site will begin to offer Introduction to Agriculture, with hopes to offer more at the site in the coming semesters. These classes allow

students in to begin working on their associate degree in Agriculture close-tohome. They can finish their coursework at the Fort Wayne Campus. “Eventually, I’d love for Warsaw students to be able to complete half their Agriculture degree in Warsaw,” says Kelli Kreider, Agriculture program chair at the Fort Wayne Campus. W a r s a w ’ s Introduction to

Agriculture class will run from 5 to 7:50 p.m. during the spring 2018 semester at the Warsaw Site, 2545 Silveus Crossing, Warsaw. Those interested in taking the class can apply to the College for free online and begin their enrollment steps at IvyTech.edu/nowisthetime. Agriculture is one of the largest sectors of Indiana’s economy, making a $20 billion impact annually.

Gillenwater, executive director of Grow Wabash County (formerly the Economic Development Group of Wabash County and the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce). Since the resolution was approved, the city will seek dispensation from the state to place something like a box culvert over the creek, rather than a bridge. The box culvert, he said, will save funds. That bond measure

will not affect the city’s debt, Gillenwater added, in response to a question from Council member Bryan Dillon. “We are projected to have sufficient tax revenue from what was captured in TIF Districts right now,” Gillenwater said. “We have additional revenue as a safety backup.” An upside, Long added, is that a local financial institution has expressed inter-

est in purchasing the bonds. Starkey told the Council that negotiations with Crossroads Bank are

ongoing to purchase the bonds. Because of that, Shelley, who is employed by C r o s s r o a d s , abstained in the vote.

Local fourth graders get lesson on farming By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com More than 400 fourth grade students from around Wabash County received a closer look at agriculture than many might otherwise have, thanks in part to the Wabash County Farm Bureau. For more than 30 years, the WCFB has hosted the students at the Wabash County 4H Fairgrounds as an opportunity for the youths to learn more about agriculture during demonstrations. The students, during their visit on Tuesday, Sept. 26, spent time at 12 different stations, learning everything from how to shear a sheep to using drones as farming tools and how pizzas and Wabash County

farms are closely related. “The kids receive an education about agriculture and where their food really comes from,” WCFB President Mark York said. “That’s the main drive of this, education and promotion of agriculture in Wabash County.” The student spent 14 minutes at each of the 12 different stations. They have a few minutes travel time between booths. WCFB officials were on hand to help with the students, as were representatives from the Wabash County Purdue C o o p e r a t i v e Extension Service. Students from the Manchester High School FFA and the Wabash County 4-H program also helped at the various stations.

Manchester FFA students Tyler Sivits and Maddy Cook manned the pizza and ag station. The pair noted to the students that many items are needed to make pizza – from flour and oil to make the dough, to pork for sausage and pepperoni and tomatoes and milk for the sauce and cheese – and all of which are produced in Wabash County. In addition, many small, family gardens grow such things as bell peppers, onions and other vegetables placed on pizza. Something new this year was a DNA station in which youngsters tried to find the DNA of strawberries. It was designed as a way for students to learn about various parts of a DNA molecule as well about various

terms associated with DNA. It also helps stress the important of plant genetics and farming. At least three stations had livestock related themes. One had baby chickens and goats for the students to pet, while another talked about the importance of cows and pigs to production. Another station, manned by Joyce Willcox, her son, Gary Willcox, and fellow sheep producer Gail Phipps worked the sheep-shearing booth and giving students samples. Mrs. Willcox was one of the driving forces behind creating the FB Ag Day. “Having raised sheep a good number of years,” she said. “It’s a good thing to help educate more people about the land.”

MSD board adopts 2018 budget By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The MSD of Wabash County School Board unanimously approved the adoption of the 2018 budget Tuesday, Sept. 26. As no changes were made following the public hearing, the budget was adopted with a $26,371,071 total and a $15,634,900 General Fund. Additionally, the board also approved the 2018-2020 Capital Projects Plan, 20182029 Bus Replacement Plan, the Tax Neutrality Resolution and the Resolution for Appropriations and

Tax Rates, which are a part of the budget adoption procedure. The board granted Chris Kuhn, assistant superintendent of finance, permission to public a notice of adoption of the Capital Projects Fund Plan. To view the full budget, visit gateway.ifionline.org and click on Report Search. In other news, Council member Matt Driscoll reported Heartland Career Center approved Freedom Academy to use the facility and begin an adult evening welding course. “It’d be an 80-hour,

Monday and Wednesday from October through January timeframe,” Driscoll told the board, “and that will happen if they get enough people to make it pay. They’re doing that with some of the new welding equipment.” The application to apply for the course will soon be advertised in local newspapers, according to Jon Higgins, Heartland Career Center principal. The course’s goal is to help adults either unemployed or under employed to receive welding certification, Higgins told The Paper of Wabash

County. “It’ll help adults become skilled and find better jobs,” he said, adding that the Freedom Academy sought out Heartland because “we have a pretty amazing lab back there. There are a lot of welding opportunities in this area. … Our board is very supportive of assisting people of all ages to better themselves and their careers in the region. “If a parent can get a better job, they can provide better for their family, get a better home… there are lots of wins in this process.”

Budget hearing draws no comments By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com No one spoke Monday night, Sept. 25, at a public hearing on the city’s proposed budget, tax levy and tax rate which took place before the regular Wabash City Council meeting. About 10 minutes later, the Council gave a 5-0 approval of the 2018 financial plan. The city’s budget

stands at $18.246 million, and carries with it an adopted tax levy of $5.818 million. The tax rate would be $2.03 per $100 of assessed valuation. The largest portion of the budget is the General Fund, which stands at $8.8 million. That fund contains salaries and nearly all the rest of the day-today expenses of the City of Wabash. The sewer fund is the next largest, $2.9 million, and is one of five self-sustaining funds. In other words, those funds are raised with money other than taxes. The emergency ambulance-medical service fund, another self-sustaining fund, stands at $1.441 million. The council will consider the budget

when it meets Tuesday, Oct. 10. The meeting is on a Tuesday because Columbus Day falls on the regular meeting day. The council also gave final approval to the Wabash City Schools budget. The council must approve the budget because it appoints the school board and, under state statute, the panel that appoints the board must approve the budget. The council voted 40-1 for the budget, with council member Bryan Dillon abstaining because his wife is employed by the school system. In another matter, Mayor Scott Long declared this week Blessings In a Backpack Week in the City of Wabash.

PERU — The Wabash boys tennis team captured the 2017 sectional title to continue an historic season with a 4-1 win over Peru. The Apaches improved to 20-1 with the two sectional wins and advanced to the Culver Regional by

winning the sectional title. “Going into the match, we felt confident, and we felt that if we could win at 2doubles, that would really give us confidence moving forward,” Wabash coach Niko Macaluso said. The 2-doubles team of Asif Khan and Jonah France was the first off the court with a dominating 6-0, 6-2 win.

Wabash swept the doubles when Alex Driscoll and Matt Stein won 6-4, 6-4. At 1-singles, Rob Ford won 6-1, 7-5, and Luke Mattern won at 2-singles 6-3, 6-2. Gage Ballard, who moved to 3-singles late in the season, lost 6-1, 6-1. “Gage hasn’t had a whole lot of experience at singles, but has gotten better each match,” Macaluso

said. “He played well and battled all match long. “I’m really proud of the guys on the match and on the year we’ve had so far. Hopefully, we can continue our success at regional.” The Apaches will face Warsaw in the first round of the Culver Regional on Tuesday, Oct. 3.

County to move to statewide court case system By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com The Wabash County court system may be migrating to a new case management system throughout the next 15 months. Wabash County Circuit Court Judge Robert R. McCallen, along with Mary DePrez, director of trial court technology for the Indiana Supreme Court, presented information on the Odyssey Case

Management System at the Monday, Oct. 2, meeting of the county commissioners. “We are proposing that the county move to the statewide case management system, Odyssey, effective January 2019,” McCallen said. “Judge – now Justice – [Christopher] Goff and I have been looking at it, and we’ve also been working with [County Clerk Elaine Martin].”

According to DePrez, the state began deploying Tyler Technology’s Odyssey software in December 2007, with the software currently being used in more than 260 of the state’s nearly 400 courts. “We started out replacing 23 different court case management systems that didn’t really talk to or communicate with each other,” DePrez said. “The Supreme

Court has paid the initial licensing fee, and pays the ongoing maintenance and support. Your county probably pays ongoing maintenance and support for your JTS court case management system today, so that will go away once we implement Odyssey in the courts and clerks offices h e r e . ” She said that, pending official approval, the conversion will take nine to 12 months, with an anticipated “go-live date” of late 2018. “We’ll be on site for two weeks following go-live to make sure that you don’t lose employees and that they stay sane because change is difficult,” she said. She also noted that her department provides more than 30 nocost applications to Indiana courts,

including a state-mandated protection order registry and an e-ticketing program, which Wabash County already uses, that allows the tickets to be electronically filed in Odyssey. There is also free software available for the county’s probation department. “Odyssey also offers free public access. For all your non-confidential cases in the courts, Odyssey has a website called MyCase, and we are working with the Supreme Court now and offering – in addition to just data and financial information on MyCase – we are now offering documents to attorneys,” she said, adding that that aspect is still a work in progress with the Supreme Court. Benefits of the statewide software

include more efficient sharing of documents between counties and the state, in addition to the reduced cost to the county. County Attorney Steve Downs noted that he and DePrez have been working together on a memorandum of understanding, and that his only remaining concern was the cost of hardware replacement, which he said DePrez had agreed to assist with. Her response: “We will replace your hardware.” “My understanding from the IT assessment that we completed – which we’ll probably have to do again… - it looks like you’ll need 12 computers replaced, and some printers,” DePrez said. “We won’t do that until we get closer to the time.”

She also said that there is a special Odyssey software for judges – which McCallen dubbed “Odyssey for Dummies” – that allows them to use Odyssey in the courtroom via a touchscreen computer, which her office usually can provide. According to DePrez, they rely on local information technology (IT) departments to set up and maintain the software. Downs will review and finalize the memorandum of understanding with DePrez, for the commissioners to sign at their next meeting, and draft a resolution to make the switch official. “It looks like you guys have it all taken care of,” Chairman Scott Givens said.

Students at 25 Indiana schools – including St. Bernard Catholic School — will learn about the outdoors, thanks in part to a grant program that supports field trips to Indiana state parks and reservoirs. The Discovering the Outdoors Field Trip Grant Program is for public, private, parochial or homeschool educators and is administered through the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation (INRF), the supporting non-

profit of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. The grants fund transportation costs, program fees and classroom supplies related to preparation or follow-up for the field trips. St. Bernard received a $250 grant to allow students in kindergarten through sixth grade to visit Salamonie Lake. An estimated 2,461 students, K-12, will benefit from the grant program in 2017-18. The program expects to distribute $7,026 through 27 grants. All valid applicants will receive funds this

year. This is the fifth academic year that the grant program has been in effect. Through the current academic year, the program has distributed more than $26,000 in overall funding and helped almost 8,100 students. The fund was established in memory of Tom Huck, a longtime DNR employee who was an ardent supporter of outdoor experiences for children, with financial help from the Indiana Master Naturalist Advisory Council, according to Jody Kress, executive

director of the INRF. “We appreciate the generosity of those who contribute to Indiana’s youth,” Kress said. “We hope to see this program grow so we can educate more students across the state about our natural and cultural heritage.” To donate, visit IndianaNRF.org. Indiana has 24 state parks and eight reservoirs eligible for field trip funding. Field trips to parks and reservoirs engage students in learning about Indiana’s fish, forest, wildlife, natural habitats and conservation.

Indiana fall meals average 12% less than national average part of the Farm Bureau market basket series, which includes the annual Thanksgiving dinner cost survey and two additional surveys that

From the Indiana Farm Bureau

According to an annual, informal survey by Indiana Farm Bureau and the American Farm Bureau Federation, Hoosiers are benefitting from consistently lower food prices than the national average this fall. The survey shows the total cost of 16 food items, which can be used to prepare a traditional group meal, totaling $51.13 nationally and only $44.85 in Indiana – a difference of roughly 12 percent. The overall meal price is relatively unchanged when compared to Indiana’s fall 2016 prices. This time last year, INFB found the average meal to cost $44.54, a difference of only $0.31, or one percent lower than this year’s total. The INFB fall market basket survey was conducted by 20 volunteer shoppers all across the state who collected prices on specific food items from one of their local grocery stores. The shopping list included eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, bagged salad, boneless chicken breast, sirloin tip roast, bacon, ground chuck, russet potatoes, oat cereal, sliced deli ham, white bread, whole milk, orange juice, apples, flour and vegetable oil. “This will be welcome news for shoppers looking for affordable food to feed their families,” said Isabella Chism, INFB second vice president and chair of the Women’s L e a d e r s h i p Committee, which is in charge of the market basket survey program. “These prices are a clear reminder that we have a very affordable food supply in America and particularly in Indiana.” When comparing this year’s prices to 2016 prices, there were notable shifts in the price of sliced deli ham (down 13 percent), boneless chicken breast (up 12 percent) and eggs (up 14 percent). The price of apples, russet potatoes, sirloin tip roast, bacon, flour and white bread also saw small shifts in price and the remaining items remained relatively flat. Supply and demand for chicken breasts is tight, which is why retail prices are high-

er,” said Dr. John Newton, AFBF’s director of market intelligence. Price checks of alternative milk choices in Indiana not included in the overall market basket survey average revealed the following: half gallon regular milk, $2.03 and 1/2 gallon organic milk, $4.08. AFBF’s national survey showed a few significant trends that weren’t as evident in Indiana, but meaningful when compared

nationwide. “Bacon was up significantly because of the lower inventory and higher prices of pork bellies. We saw a rally in wholesale bacon prices this summer and fall which is being reflected at the retail level,” Newton said of the national trends. “Bacon is a sexy food item in restaurants and everywhere else, creating an inventory decline and thus a price increase.” In addition, Newton said the price increase

for orange juice is related to the lower supply of oranges, in part due to citrus greening disease, and the supply could worsen due to the impact of Hurricane Irma. For many food items, the year-to-year direction of the market basket survey tracks with the federal government’s Consumer Price Index report for food at home. As retail grocery prices have increased gradually over time, the share of the average food dollar

that America’s farm and ranch families receive has dropped. “We can expect prices to rise and fall over time, but it’s important to remember that the farmer’s share of our food dollar remains quite low,” said Chism. “Using the ‘food at home and away from home’ percentage, the farmer’s share of this $44.85 market basket would be roughly $7. The remaining goes to the other parts of the food industry.” The fall survey is

Practice safety when visiting haunted venues From the IDHS

With fall approaching, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) and the State Fire Marshal are reminding Hoosiers to keep safety in mind when visiting haunted houses this season. “While haunted houses are meant to be scary attractions, safety is always our main concern,” said State Fire Marshal Jim Greeson. “We work to make sure that each facility is in compliance with Indiana code before they open to the public.” Listed below are safety tips to keep in mind when visiting haunted houses: — Identify exits when entering the facility. Exits should be clearly marked and unobstructed. — Do not run through a haunted house. Follow the directions given by the operators of the attraction. — To ensure the facility is certified to operate, visitors can ask to see the stateissued amusement and entertainment permit before entering the haunted house. — Always refrain from smoking inside a haunted house. Also, there should be no temporary heaters or devices with an open flame used in the building. If operators/owners cannot provide a

certificate of compliance, or if potential safety violations are found, contact IDHS. During regular busi-

ness hours, call 317232-2222. Outside of business hours or on the weekend, call 800669-7362.

Hunters can help monitor the deer population in eastern Indiana for bovine tuberculosis by voluntarily submitting harvested deer to the DNR for testing. The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife plans to establish a new bovine tuberculosis surveillance zone for the area south of State Road 44 and west of State Road 1 in Fayette County, and in the northwest portion of Franklin County, west of Brookville Lake. Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic bacterial disease that affects primarily cattle, but can be transmitted to any mammal. In 2016, the disease was detected in

a deer culled for testing from a Franklin County cattle farm affected by bovine tuberculosis. Surveillance involves collecting and testing lymph nodes from the head and neck of deer harvested by hunters and voluntarily submitted for evaluation. The DNR is asking those who hunt in the surveillance zone to help it collect samples from between 500 and 1,200 deer. The preference is for bucks that are 2 years old or older, but all deer will be accepted for testing. A biological check station staffed by DNR employees will be located in at Whitewater Canal State Historic Site maintenance facility at 19083 Clayborn St., Metamora, with addi-

2,000 samples. None tested positive for the disease. Because of hunter cooperation, the DNR did not have to initiate a back-up plan of using paid sharpshooters to cull additional deer. That plan would have cost an estimated $1.3 million and resulted in additional deer being taken after the normal hunting season. The DNR hopes for similar support from hunters again in 2017.

NIPSCO seeks increase in natural gas rates By The Paper staff

MERRILLVILLE – Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) has made a request with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) to increase its natural gas base rates – a change that must go through a thorough regulatory

review process that includes opportunities for public input and involvement. It has been more than 25 years since NIPSCO’s base natural gas rates have increased, and in 2010, a regulatory review led to a slight decrease. Since that time, NIPSCO has regularly been the lowest-cost

provider in Indiana – and among the lowestcost providers in the nation – while improving service to customers. NIPSCO anticipates that, with the newly proposed rates, it will remain among the lowest-cost providers. Meanwhile, the cost to comply with state and federal safety stan-

dards has increased, and the company has made additional investments in its aging gas system to improve service to 820,000 customers across 32 northern Indiana counties, while maintaining and monitoring more than 17,800 miles of natural gas pipelines. “In addition to providing affordable natu-

Preserve carved pumpkins in various ways Jack-o’-lanter ns and other carved pumpkin designs are frequently the centerpieces of Halloween festivities. The twinkling lights and orange glow of jack-o’-lanterns can add ambiance to any autumn event. The trouble with carving pumpkins is that most people want to

do it right away, only to discover their pumpkins wilt and decay long before Halloween. Nothing ruins Halloween more than visiting a home to trick-or-treat and not getting candy. Equally disappointing is a sad pumpkin display withering away on a front

The Fall Season is a for

Reason Change!

porch. Even though all pumpkins will eventually rot, certain tips can keep carvings from collapsing too soon. • Choose a sturdy pumpkin. Inspect the pumpkin of your choosing carefully, looking for gouges, spots and holes. Even a small blemish can quickly expand into a mushy mess. Select pumpkins with even color and firm flesh, and make sure that the pumpkin doesn’t feel tender when you push on the skin. • Visit local pumpkin stands. Pumpkins that have been shipped miles and miles in hot cargo trucks may be overly ripened or battered. Pumpkins that were grown nearby may be fresher. Plus, buying pumpkins locally supports local farmers. • Scrape the insides of the pumpkin thoroughly. Any moist bits inside the pumpkin will mold quickly. The pumpkin carving experts at Pumpkin Masters recommend scraping as much of the “guts” out as possible, leaving about a one-inch thickness of the wall of the pumpkin. • Coat the pumpkin. Preservation methods may aim to keep the pumpkin hydrated and inhibit mold and other mi-

crobial growth. Commercially sold pumpkin preservation products, such as Pumpkin Fresh®, hold up well. Soaking and spraying carved pumpkins with a bleach-and-water solution also seems to preserve designs. • Keep it out of the elements. Store carved pumpkins in a cool, dry place. This will help slow down the rotting process for pumpkins exposed to outdoor fungi, other microbes and warm sunlight. • Use an artificial light source. Reduce the heat inside of the pumpkin and encourage hydration by

selecting a batterypowered light instead of a lit candle to illuminate the carving. • Skip the carving. Once pumpkin skin is compromised, microbes can enter. In lieu of carving, paint or decorate pumpkins in other ways if you want them to stay fresh for a long time. Glow in the dark paint can help pumpkins stand out at night. Carved pumpkins may last a week or two, while uncut pumpkins can last for a month or more. Keeping pumpkins hydrated and moldfree will prolong your designs.

Fish virus caused Roush Lake carp kill From the DNR A July carp kill at Roush Lake in Huntington County resulted from a virus that only affects common carp and koi, according to DNR

fisheries biologists. Fish collected from the lake and sent to Purdue University in July tested positive for koi herpes virus (KHv). On July 20, DNR officials received

reports of dead carp in the lake. Five days later, fisheries biologist Jed Pearson collected dead carp and captured six live carp and transported them to Purdue’s Animal Disease

KHv only affects common carp and koi, an ornamental carp. It cannot infect humans. Outbreaks can occur from late spring to early fall. Young carp are most susceptible, but a major kill can include up to 90 percent of adults. Symptoms include mucus, white patch-
