Plans progressing for new hospital By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Best-case scenario, a new Parkview Wabash Hospital is still 2½ to 3 years away from becoming a reality, Parkview President and CEO Mike Packnett said Wednesday, May 20. And the new facility, he continued, may not necessarily be at the site on U.S. 24 that now has signs that read “Future home of Parkview Wabash Hospital.” Packnett made the remarks during the annual breakfast for Parkview Wabash Hospital, which took place in the lobby of the Honeywell Center. Hospital Administrator Marilyn CusterMitchell also talked about the past year at the hospital, and the transition that Wabash County Hospital underwent during its affiliation with the Parkview Health Network. The site, which was designated prior to the affiliation, could still be the site for the new facility, Packnett told The Paper of Wabash County following the breakfast. “We’re just not sure,” he said. “We’d like to continue a little bit more of the search process and

make sure it is the absolutely best site for the facility. We want to take a little more time.” Hospital officials consider several things when looking at a possible site for the facility. “They’re probably the same things a lot of big businesses look at here in town,” Packnett said. “That’s access, how the land flows – is it going from front to back or back to front. “Access for us, as you can imagine with emergency room traffic and a lot of people coming in on site every day, access is a big issue for us. We really are trying to think of 50 years down the road, we really have to envision how it might grow up around us and what might traffic be like?” There is at least one other site under consideration for the new facility, Packnett said, and it also is a long U.S. 24. “We think the 24 corridor is the right place to be to best serve patients from coming all over the county, and even beyond the county,” he said. “I think it will serve us best to be on 24.” A decision on the site, he added, will come “as soon as possible.” “We’re pushing hard,” he

said. “We know that is the first domino and all others will follow. I hope it doesn’t take six months, but it’s just too soon to tell right now.” Custer-Mitchell said representatives from the Wabash facility are involved in the process are determining the site for the new facility. “We’re very involved,” she said. “Scott Burcroff and I are on the committee that’s talking about it. “We’re giving our insights and thoughts on the various sites we’ve looked at.” The affiliation was the area which Packnett and CusterMitchell spent the most time discussing on Wednesday. It also dominated a question-andanswer session with those in the audience. Perhaps the most pressing question was whether the new facility would offer an OB-GYN clinic and delivery room. At least three of the questions written by the audience dealt with that topic. As a cost-saving measure, the Wabash County Hospital stopped delivering babies about a dozen years ago. “We’re having those conversations right now,” Custer-

tion about OB. We’ll be talking about that, and we’ll be talking about a few other services.” Packnett said the OB question (continued on page 2)

LAGRO — A single-vehicle crash on May 19 killed on man and injured another. On Tuesday, at approximately 1 p.m., the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department responded to a one-vehicle crash on State Road 524 near Pefley’s Farm Equipment.

A GMC pick-up truck driven by Daniel Lane, 39, Lagro, was traveling westbound on SR 524 and ran off the road for unknown reasons. After leaving the roadway the truck struck two mailboxes, traveled approximately 320 feet, and finally came to a rest after striking a tree head-on. (continued on page 3)

LaFontaine group seeks to restore old cemetery By Adam B. Smith news@thepaperofwabash.com LAFONTAINE — Visitors to LaFontaine’s Rennaker Cemetery have a clear view of the timeworn gravestones and monuments that fill the broken rows of the Old La Fontaine Cemetery. Some small markers covered up by grass sit in the shadows of taller, dirt-covered monuments. The Friends of the Old La Fontaine Cemetery gathered a

group at the cemetery Saturday, May 16, for a cemetery restoration workshop. The group sought to gather support for the restoration of the largely neglected cemetery. Regina Hiple said she was visiting some of her relatives buried in the Rennaker Cemetery when she first noticed one of the monuments in the older cemetery leaning. She said she thought something needed to be done. A number of fellow community members shared Hiple’s

views on the cemetery’s current state of disrepair, she said, and about 15 to 20 people decided to form the Friends of the Old La Fontaine Cemetery last fall. The group wanted to have a restoration performed on the cemetery, she said. When she went in front of the LaFontaine Town Council to ask for support in October 2014, however, she said they told her there were no funds for the project. The group would (continued on page 3)

The hospital also received a five-star rating in 2014, based on surveys from patients’ perceptions.

Only 7 percent of the hospitals in the United States received a five-star rating, and only 10 in Indiana received the designation. Financially, she said, “Wabash County Hospital in day-to-day operations didn’t have a great year last year, financially.” “However, we remained strong

financially,” she continued. “We had positive cash flow. We also continue to meet our meaningful use status.” The hospital had 325 workers between the hospital and physicians offices, making the facility the fourth largest employer in the county.

THE PAPER

LaFontaine group seeks to restore old cemetery have to fund the project on their own. Hiple said she thinks it will take at least 10 years before they can see the project completed. In the meantime the Friends of the Old LaFontaine Cemetery wanted to start fundraising and learn what they could do themselves, so they enlisted the help Mark Davis, owner of Stone Saver Cemetery Restoration, to lead Saturday’s workshop. “They’re trying to get a grassroots movement going for this, so I thought I’d help out,” Davis said. He began learning the trade of cemetery restoration in 2001 by volunteering his help and working part-time. The knowledge needed for the job isn’t something typically learned in a classroom setting, he said. The job requires hands-on experience, he said, and that’s

Smith what he offered those who attended the workshop. Davis had the attendees assist him in removing some gravestones from the ground for cleaning with water and plastic-bristled brushes. Once they cleaned them, the attendees assisted once again to reset the gravestones in the ground. One Civil War vet-

eran’s gravestone had been improperly reset in the past 40 to 60 years by using cement to stabilize it, an improper technique, Davis said. The burial sites of Civil War veterans such as this one remind him of why he began working in cemetery restoration, he said. “I went out to cemeteries and saw

guys like this, Civil War veterans, with stones flat on the ground and thought, ‘There’s got to be ways to fix this,” Davis said. Greg Carpenter, a project manager at Mississinewa for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said he saw a sign on the road for the workshop the day before and called to find

more information. “I’ve always kind of had an interest in historic properties,” he said. The art of the monuments and sculptures in cemeteries especially interests him, Davis said. He was disappointed the workshop didn’t get a bigger turnout, he said, and he thinks people often view cemeteries in a negative light. “It’s too bad more people aren’t interested in this,” Davis said. “I think we kind of live in a death-denying culture. I think cemeteries should be a beautiful place for people to reflect.” Hiple said she was satisfied by the turnout of about 20 people. The workshop also attracted people from across state lines. Robin Daihl said she came from Naperville, Ill., to attend. She grew up in the area, she said, and her family histo-

Trash causing problems for city’s Sewage Department By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Rick Price, interim superintendent at the City of Wabash W a s t e w a t e r Treatment Plant, has a request for local residents: Be careful of what you flush down the toilet or drain. “All of a sudden we’ve been dealing with what I’ve been calling ‘trash’ coming into the wastewater treatment plant,” he said. “By

trash I mean paper towels, Swiffers, blue rolled shop towels … “It seems like it’s worst now than it has ever been before. And it seems like it’s not only causing problems at the W a s t e w a t e r Treatment Plant, but it’s also causing problems for our pump stations, our lift stations that pump to the wastewater treatment plant.” A lift station pump at The Gardens subdivision quit work-

ing earlier this week, Price noted, adding that it will cost about $2,000 to repair. “We took the pump apart and found it full of those towels,” he said. “So, as an effort I’m reaching out to the public to make them aware that whatever they flush down the toilet or put down the drain, make sure it’s biodegradable. “Read the products before you flush. A lot of them say flushable, but do not say biodegradable.”

Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m noted that the trash was a major issue during a recent inspection by the Indiana Department of Environmental M a n a g e m e n t (IDEM). “We had an IDEM inspection … and this is really where it did come to the surface,” Price concurred. “The City of Wabash did get a violation for something that’s out of our control, but never-theless something we

Limited Liability Protection When starting a new business, an important issue to consider is to how to protect personal assets (what is called “limited liability”) in case something goes wrong – the business falls behind in its bills or is hit with a large legal judgment, etc. To get such protection, most people choose to form a company, typically a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). There are many TV ads for websites or services like “Legal Zoom” (started by one of O.J. Simpson’s criminal defense attorneys) which make the process of creating a company seem quick and simple. However, that single step does not guarantee the owner(s) will always have the protection of their personal assets. In other words, registering the company with the State of Indiana is only the first step of the responsibility of a company owner. Preserving limited liability protection is an ongoing process. Space limitations of this column make it impossible to address all of the requirements of maintaining a company, but I will highlight a few general steps. For example, most companies have to file reports every other

year with the Indiana Secretary of State to maintain the legal right to do business as a company in Indiana. Failure to file these reports will result in the Secretary of State terminating or “dissolving” the company. If that happens, the limited liability protection is also lost. How the company conducts its business is also very important. It must be operated as an entity separate from the owner(s). For instance, the company should have bank accounts and insurance policies separate from the owner(s). In addition, all activities should be conducted under the company’s name, so people dealing with the company know that they are not doing business with the owner(s) individually. Therefore, the full company name – including the “Inc.”, “Corp.” or “LLC” designations – should be used on all documents, signs, letterhead, promotional materials, company equipment and vehicles, etc. Finally, good record keeping is absolutely necessary to help clearly establish that the company is a separate entity, entitling the owner(s) to liability protection. Included in those records should be

minutes of formal meetings documenting significant company decisions. The company (even if there is only one owner) should also conduct and have a written record of an annual meeting formalizing company business and electing officers or managers. Without such records creditors may attempt to “pierce the corporate veil” – which means defeat the limited liability of the company owner(s) and attempt to collect against their personal assets. So it is a good idea for every small business owner to review – or consult an attorney to review – the company minute or record book to insure that improper or missing records or documents do not jeopardize the validity of the limited liability protection. So what businesses like Legal Zoom fail to tell people is there is little point in going to the trouble of getting limited liability protection of personal assets only to then fail to take the necessary steps to maintain it.

ognized during this ceremony. The night began with the musical piece, “Humeresque,” by Antonin Dvorak, presented by Rachel Chapman on the violin and Elizabeth See on the piano. Two digital presentations were created by the Design Graphics students to celebrate the 50th year as well as recap the 2014-15 Heartland Career Center school year. The heart of the evening went to the 220 students being honored. Students in all areas were recognized for earning dual college credits, certifications/ licenses, career excellence and attendance awards. Approximately 210 students met the requirements for Dual Credits (offered by Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University), accounting for over 1800 college credit hours completed. In addition, 87 students earned industry recognized certifications or licenses in the respective fields. Heartland also had more than 200 students that participated in student youth organizations this year through the four national organizations: Business Professionals of America (BPA), SkillsUSA, Technology Students Association (TSA) and Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). Forty of the student competed in State competitions, while 13 of these advanced to National competitions. Other notable awards went to 10 seniors inducted into the National Technical Honor Society. As well as the eight students from this graduating class obtained Perfect Attendance for the

Attorney general visits North Manchester By Shaun Tilghman news@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — On May 15, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller was the guest speaker during the “Dish, Dine, & Shred” luncheon event hosted by Peabody R e t i r e m e n t Community. He discussed identity theft and consumer protection with those in attendance and then individuals were invited to drop off one box of confidential documents to be destroyed onsite by professionals from Shark Shredding. Zoeller, the state’s 42nd Attorney General, first began working in the office of the Attorney General in 2001 with Steve Carter, who was his immediate predecessor. “Steve and I went to law school together and I had worked in Senator Dan Quayle’s offices, so I knew how to manage a government office,” Zoeller said. “Steve was the attorney general for eight years and I was the Chief Deputy, which

is like the managing partner of a law firm, so it’s the lawyer that manages the day-to-day operations while the Attorney General takes the message out to the rest of the state. “After eight years of working in the office I was elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2012, which makes me the first attorney general that worked in the office before being elected. “We have 157 lawyers in our office and we represent every facet of state government. We appear in the county courthouses in all 92 counties. We represent the legislature whenever there is an action brought against any of the statutes or when they sue the government, and we also represent the Governor and all of the actions of the state. So, anytime there’s a case involving the state, it’s one of the lawyers from the office of the attorney general that appears in court.” After providing some background regarding his position and the techni-

cal responsibilities of his office, Zoeller broached the subject that has become increasingly threatening for Americans: identity theft. “We also do all of the consumer protection, and that’s probably where most people know the work we do,” he added. “We have a whole statute that deals with the role of the Attorney General’s office in terms of protecting consumers,” he continued. “Some of the work we do is to provide the tools by which people can protect themselves, because it’s not like the office of the attorney general can really protect you. So, what we do is, we travel around the state and go to events like this to try to explain to people how they can better protect themselves. “Again, I wish that my office could just protect you without you having to do anything, but it’s a little more complicated than that. Unfortunately, with the technology of today, we really need people to help protect them selves. So, we

try to give people simple things that will help protect them, and ways to avoid the most common problems that we see.” According to the attorney general, identity theft is probably the fastest growing crime in the United States, and it’s become very difficult to protect all of your personal inform a t i o n . “If I were to hire one of my investigators in the office to find out the name, address, date of birth, and social security number for any one of you here today they could probably do it, because there’s enough information out there already,” Zoeller explained. “So, it’s not that you shouldn’t continue to try to keep that information private – such as shredding documents – but what we really try to tell people to do involves a couple of simple steps. Basically, when an identity thief gets your information, they’re usually trying to create a new line of credit.” Zoeller went on to

say that the easiest and safest way for individuals to protect them selves is a credit freeze. On the Attorney General’s website, a credit freeze, which is also known as a security freeze, is identified as a consumer right provided by Indiana law. Placing a credit freeze on your credit reports can block an identity thief from opening a new account or obtaining credit in your name. If you activate a credit freeze, an identity thief cannot take out new credit in your name, even if the thief has your social security number or other personal information, because it keeps new creditors from accessing your credit report without your permission. “This is your asset,” Zoeller concluded, “it’s not the credit bureau’s, it’s not the banker’s, it’s no one else’s but yours. So, the one thing we always recommend is a credit freeze, because it’s the simplest way to close off the opportunity for what identity

thieves use your identity for. After the Anthem breach, Anthem sent a letter offering credit monitoring, which means you get notice if someone tries to open a line of credit using your identity. Well, it’s good to get notice of anybody trying that, but it’s better to freeze it, and that’s why I make the distinction. “We actually have it on our website (indianaconsumer.co m) under a statute

that we had passed a few years ago. So, you click on each credit agency and setup a freeze, that way you now control access to your credit records – no one can access them unless you give permission. If someone has stolen your identity and wants to open up a new credit line they are going to be stopped before they can even get started – that’s taking responsibility for your credit.”

City to proceed with demolition PETS OF THE WEEK By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The owner of a home at 458 N. Allen St. had hoped the city would give him more time to repair the structure, which was damaged in a 2013 fire. However, the man, Eric Phillips, failed to show up at the May 20 meeting of the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety. Consequently, the board ordered building commissioner John Stephens to continue with the demolition plan. The board approved a bid from

Hank’s Construction to demolish the home during its April 15 meeting. However, Building Commissioner John Stephens told the board Phillips had been in contact with him. “I advised him last week (to be here) Wednesday at 9:30 a.m.,” Stephens said. Before the home can be razed, asbestos siding must first be removed, he told the board. “The price to remove it can be rather expensive,” he said. “So I wanted to hold off on that” until the board meeting. The board

instructed Stephens to begin the process of removing the siding. “If he had come in and said, ‘I need 10 days or 30 days or whatever …,’” board member Dee Byerly said. “But when he doesn’t even show up it tells me he doesn’t care.” Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m asked Stephens how his department’s budget was in regard to demolishing homes. The city has

demolished at least three homes this year.” “It’s going to be borderline on this one,” Stephens said, noting that there are two more homes in bad shape that need consideration, one on Manchester Avenue and the other on Pike Street. In addition, Va n l a n d i n g h a m said, the former Brown from Wabash building also is likely in need of demolition.

A Wabash firefighter has forfeited his pay for 28 days for violating a department policy. The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety approved the forfeiture, suggested by Fire Chief Bob Mullett, on Wednesday, May 20. The firefighter, Jacob Hierholzer failed to call the station to call off sick. “He would end up working 28 days without pay,” City Attorney Doug Lehman said, noting that Hierholzer has signed a paper agreeing to the forfeiture. “You, as a board, has a right to either accept that and it will happen, or you can deny that. If you deny that, then Jake has asked for a hearing to determine what kind of action you want to take with regard with the disciplinary issue.

“If you have a hearing, you would have to determine, first off, did he violate some rule? And, secondly, what would be the appropriate punishment?” Lehman called the forfeiture “a substantial amount of money.” Board member Dee Byerly said he agreed with Mullett’s recommendation. “Some people might think this is a rather harsh punishment for

not calling in,” Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham said. “But this isn’t the first issue we’ve had.” In April 2014, Hierholzer agreed to forfeit two weeks’ pay in the face of charges of neglect of duty, disobeying an order from the chief and conduct unbecoming an officer. Hierholzer, who was at Wednesday’s meeting, made no comment.

Genealogical Society members get tips on storing info Article provided The Wabash County Genealogical Society met April 20 at the Dallas Winchester Center, with Melanie Penn calling the meeting to order. Secretary’s and Treasurer’s reports were given and approved. Barb Amiss presented the Francis Slocum Chapter of DAR Certificate of Community Services Award to Ronald Woodward. He grew up in Southern Indiana, served in the Navy, attended Indiana and Ball State universities, came to Wabash in 1974, writes three newslet-

ter a month, organized the Wabash High School Alumni Association in 2003 and in 2013 was awarded the Distinguished Citizen Award. The annual meeting of the Indiana Genealogical Society will meet in Terre Haute on April 25, 2015. Those wishing to attend should contact Melanie Penn. The Francis Slocum Chapter of DAR is holding a workshop on April 25, 2015, at North Manchester Library. Next meeting will be May 18, 2015, and the speaker will be Tamara Hemmeriein, Director of Local

History Services, Indiana Historical Society at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center. She will be speaking on “Preserving Your Family History and Caring for Documents and Photographs” The speaker for the evening was Robert Ragan, of the “Treasure Maps Genealogy” website which he has been doing for 20 years. He gave some pointers on how to easily organize your genealogy information. It is important to have a system that someone else can understand so when the time comes your genealogy records

can be passed on to them and they will be able to access your records easily. The key to indexing your records can easily be done by using a 1” to 1-1/2” notebook with a chart made up with headings like Birth, Death, Census, etc. then writing the persons information and where it is located in your storage system for instances number your boxes or file drawers 1, 2, 3, and so forth. Then don’t forget to label the boxes or files. For more information and help for your genealogy you can go to Robert Ragan “Treasure Maps Genealogy” site.

Heartland REMC gives grant to food program By The Paper staff Heartland REMC has provided a $500 grant to the Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry 2015-16 Meat the Need donation program. This grant will be used to pay processing fees for donated meat in the Heartland REMC service area (Adams, Allen, Wells, H u n t i n g t o n , Wabash, Whitley), which will then be distributed to area hunger relief agencies. According to Feeding Indiana’s Hungry, approximately one out of every four house-

holds within Indiana (that have children) report an inability to be able to afford enough food to feed their family and more than 30 percent of Hoosiers regularly have to choose between paying bills or buying food. Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry encourages hunters and farmers to donate large game and livestock to one of our participating butchers to be processed, packaged, and picked up by local hunger relief agencies to be distributed within the community that it was donated and where funding is available. There are

no charges or fees to the donor. This nutritious meat/protein is vital to brain and body development in children and young adults. It is also the hardest commodity for food banks to obtain. A grant for $500 will provide almost 1,500 meals to residents in need. Heartland will be working with Community Harvest Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana and participating butchers within its six-county service area, to make this possible. Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has part-

nered with area food banks and butcher shops to help provide more than 105,000 pounds of meat during the 2014-15 season, providing almost 420,000 meals to Indiana residents in need. Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has provided one million meals to date, working throughout Indiana.

Probationary troopers assigned to ISP’s Peru Post By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS – On Monday, April 13, 40 probationary troopers from the 74th Indiana State Police Recruit Academy class was issued their state police cars at the Indiana State Police garage located at the Indiana State Police Indianapolis District. Four of the officers are assigned to the Indiana State Police Peru Post and will start solo patrol in the district, which covers Cass, Fulton, Grant, Howard, Tipton, Wabash, and Miami Counties. The probationary officers recently completed a three-month field training period with veteran troopers.

They will serve a oneyear probationary period before attaining permanent status as a trooper. In addition to the field training, the new officers received approximately 917 hours of structured training in law enforcement techniques when they were assigned to Indiana State Police Recruit Academy. The curriculum included criminal law instruction, emergency vehicle operations training, psychology, and survival Spanish. They also developed skills in criminal investigation, vehicle crash investigation, and impaired driver prevention and detection.

One of the troopers assigned to the Peru Post is Probationary Trooper Dustin Rutledge, a native of Frankfort and a 2010 graduate of Frankfort High School. He has a bachelor’s degree in sports and exercise studies from H u n t i n g t o n University. He will patrol primarily in Wabash County. Others are Probationary Trooper Matthew Moon who will patrol primarily in Cass County; Probationary Trooper Kyle Miller who will patrol primarily in Howard/Tipton counties and Probationary Trooper Corey Posey who will patrol primarily in Grant County.

The April 16 meeting of the WCRTA was held at the Heartland Career Center. Vice President Cheryl Koehler called the meeting to order and began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Since the minutes are now being emailed to the membership, there was no secretary’s report. Art Conner moved that the treasurer’s report be accepted, Mary Jane Toepfer seconded, and the report was accepted. There are 88 paid members and 15 first year members. Mary Jane reported on legislative concerns. Both the COLA and thirteenth check were passed by the House, but Senator Luke

Kenley has refused to fund them. Senator David Long from Fort Wayne can request that Kenley change the funding. Members were encouraged to write to Senator Amanda Banks and Re presentative David Wolkins voicing our concerns. Judy Zolman gave the necrology report. There have been 21 teachers who have passed away. The names will be reported at the June meeting. Marsha Jones reported she has sent several get well or sympathy notes. She wanted to thank Marilyn Marsh for providing her with notecards created on the computer. Judy Ward reminded members that she is still in need of volunteers for FAME on

Saturday, April 18. Members were reminded to continue to record their volunteer hours. Cheryl asked for volunteers to attend the IRTA Re presentative Assembly in Indianapolis on June 17. Barry Conrad, president, would like to send 45 delegates to the meeting from our chapter. Barry is running for the position of secretary/treasurer at the state level. At this meeting, there will be an auction to benefit Active Teacher Grant and Scholarship Funds. Each unit is responsible for sending an item for the auction. Paula Dyer made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Joan Shripka seconded the motion and it

passed. Grace was given by Nancy Kolb. Following the luncheon, Gary Montel from the Learn More Center, presented a program about the Center. The Learn More Center is an adult education program, helping any person 16 years or older, with literacy and math help. Mr. Montel believes the success of the program is due to the caring and concern of the faculty and tutors. The majority of those using the center need help to pass the high school equivalency test. Once known as the GED, the test is now called the TASC. The TASC is a harder test, and therefore, it is taking about double the time to prepare students to take and pass the new test. This year, the program will graduate 17 students in May. The Learn More Center will also help students already enrolled in Ivy Tech. The classes meet at the Wabash Alliance Church in Wabash and the Community Center (Thomas Marshall School) in North Manchester. There is also a Jail program that is held in the Wabash Jail. The program is free to any student. 55% of the budget for the Learn More Center comes from Work Force I. Funding is also gotten from the Pauline Barker Grant and private donations from the county. The “Change Changes Lives” program from our members has contibuted with a matching grant in the past. Mr. Montel is hopeful that there will continue to be a matching grant in the future. After watching a short power point with volunteers and students praising and explaining their experiences with the Learn More Center, Bud Tulley also shared his own positive experiences as a tutor for the Learn More Center.

milestones for Historical Society volunteers. The number of volunteers increased by 27 percent to 75. They recorded 10,379 volunteer hours from Jan. 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015, the equivalent of five full-time employees. Total volunteer hours since the Center opened have now passed the 50,000 hour mark at 54,773 hours. Using the guidelines provided by The Independent Sector volunteer website, the 54,773 hours translate into volunteer services valued at $1,180,914. In other words, Historical Society volunteers have donated more than $1 million dollars of service, another milestone. Volunteers who have accumulated 100 hours of service received a polo shirt with the North Manchester Center for History logo. Those achieving this milestone this year were: Jane Ann Airgood, Barb Amiss, Tom Brown, Paula Dee, Bernie Ferringer, Jim Garman, Ruth Hawley and Carolyn Underwood. The Volunteer of the Year award was given to Dave Randall. According to Mary Chrastil, NM Historical

Society President, “Dave always says yes when asked to help out. The problem is, he doesn’t always record the hours and hours he puts in.” A long-time board member, Randall has also served on the Center’s building committee. He does construction work, recycles, helps with exhibit fabrication, and most significantly helped refinish the beautiful hardwood floors in the Center’s new windows. Volunteer of the Year awards also went to James R. C. Adams and Charles Boebel for the video documentary they are creating on North Manchester. According to Chrastil, “producing a video is a time-consuming task, especially given Jim’s and Charles’ creativity and standards of excellence. We have interviewed scores of people for this video, and have interwoven source material from historical records and 1938 and 1985 videos. Once we started the interviews, we realized that they will also serve as a wonderful video archive that will benefit researchers for years and years; but creating the archive added additional work. Each of our honorees has given

Chrastil noted that people volunteer for many reasons, such as helping others, helping the community, and making North Manchester a great place to live. The North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society does business as the North Manchester Center for History, the Thomas Marshall House Museum and the Historic Homes Preservation Group; they are all not-forprofits who depend almost exclusively on volunteer support.

DAR learns about Culper Spy Ring Article provided

The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place April 14 at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash. Suzie Goodpasture was welcomed as a guest, Jane Swanquist prospective new member and Nan Roe, as a transfer member from General Francis Marion Chapter DAR, Marion. Joyce Joy, Regent, opened the meeting with the DAR ritual. She read the April President General’s message from Lynn Forney Young. Preparations for the 124th Continental Congress are well underway. Celebrate America Night and the Historic P re s e r vat i o n Luncheon are returning for a second year and the DAR Schools committee will now host a luncheon. Last month the DAR Museum hosted a quilt symposium at D A R headquarters. The event drew an international gathering of quilt scholars and enthusiasts to see the exhibition, “Eye on Elegance: Early Quilts of Maryland and Virginia” and to learn about new research involving these quilts. Barbara Amiss shared the National Defender report on A m e r i c a ’ s PrepareAthon which is April 30. The goal of the campaign is to increase the number

of individuals who: understand which disasters could happen in the community; know what to do to be safe and mitigate damage; take action to increase their preparedness; and participate in community resilience planning. As with any skill, practice makes perfect. Practicing preparedness actions is no exception. By learning the right actions and taking time to practice them, you, your family, and your community can be ready to respond. Be Smart – Take Part – Prepare! Amiss shared the report on the up coming Honor Flight on May 20th. This is Honor Flight Northeast Indiana’s 16th flight to honor World War II veterans. The group prepared 70 thank you cards to be given to the veterans on their return home flight. Celebrate America volunteer hours for March was 835. All members are encouraged to record their volunteer hours to help contribute to the National Celebrate America Project of 12 million hours. The chapter is collecting plastic lids to be given to the disabled veterans, who in turn have them transformed into cool benches and chairs and sell them. It takes 400 lbs of plastic lids to make a bench. Barbara Amiss was elected as a delegate to the May 15-17 Indiana DAR 114th state convention. The chapter voted to accept Nan Roe as a transfer

Emmanuel staffers honored:

member from the General Francis Marion Chapter DAR, Marion. The program for April was about “The Culper Spy Ring” presented by Doris Sutton, Northern District Director, member of the General Francis Marion Chapter, DAR, Marion. The Culper Ring was a spy ring organized by young cavalry office named Benjamin Tallmadge under the order from General George Washington in the summer of 1778 during British occupation of New York City at the height of the A m e r i c a n Revolutionary War. The “Culper” name was suggested by Washington who devised it from Culpeper County, Virginia. The two main members of the Ring, Abraham Woodhull and Robert Townsend, use “Samuel Culper, Sr.” and “Samuel Culper, Jr.” respectively, as aliases. Tallmadge was in direct contact with the control of the Ring but Washington often directed its operations. Tallmadge was referred to by the alias of “John Bolton.” The Ring’s task was to send messages to Gen. Washington about the activities of the British Army in New York City, the British headquarters and base of operations. The members of the Ring operated mostly in New York City, Long Island, and Connecticut. The Ring’s covert opera-

tions started in about late October 1778 and continued through the British evacuation of New York in 1783, but its heyday was between 1778 and 1781. Women informants in the Culper Ring included Anna Strong, Mary Underhill, Abraham Woodhull’s sister, Sally Townsend, Robert Townsend’s sister who according to some sources provided import information about Major John Andre and his alias of J o h n Anderson. Some sources note a female member of the ring, known only as Agent 355, while others believe that this code

number referred to Anna Strong. The Culper Spy Right was the most effective of any intelligence-gathering operation on either side during the Revolutionary War. The general public was unaware of the Ring’s existence until the 1930s. Robert Townsend’s identity as “Culper, Jr.” was discovered in 1929, with the examination of old letters written by Townsend in the Townsend family home. Historian Morton Pennypacker reviewed the letters and noticed the resemblance of the hand writing in letters from the trunk written by Robert

Townsend and letters written by “Samuel Culper, Jr.” in George Washington’s collection. The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be Tuesday, May 12 at 7 p.m. at the North Manchester Public Library, Blocher Room, North Manchester. The program will be presented by Stephanie Straub, Creative Card Makers, to make four patriot cards. All supplies will be precut and ready to assemble. A reservation and prepayment of $8 is required by May 5 to Barbara Amiss, 32 Woodspoint Circle, North Manchester. Prospective

members and guests are always welcome to attend. DAR membership is open to any woman 18 years of age, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the A m e r i c a n Revolution. Those having questions about their family history lineage information may contact Linda Thompson at 260-563-4662 or Barbara Amiss at 260982-4376. A DAR workshop will be held Saturday, April 25th at the North Manchester Public Library, Blocher Room, 405 North Market Street, North Manchester, 9:15 – 11:30 a.m. Reservations are not necessary.

Deadline nearing for watershed funding requests By The Paper staff The Natural R e s o u r c e s Conservation Services (NRCS) is accepting applications until June 19 to be considered for funding to improve water quality in several watersheds throughout Indiana, State Conservationist Jane Hardisty announced.. NRCS is investing dollars in the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative (MRBI), National

Water Quality Initiative (NWQI) and R e g i o n a l Conservation Partnership Project (RCPP) that will help improve water quality and strengthen agricultural operations. Funding for each of these initiatives comes from the Farm Bill’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). “We are working with partners to encourage farmers to put in conservation practices in these targeted watersheds that address water quality

concerns and help improve soil health and agricultural production,” Hardisty said. “By targeting initiative dollars we can make a greater impact on the health of our streams and rivers, and ultimately the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.” Special initiatives help eligible farmers adopt conservation practices to improve water quality. Conservation systems implemented in these areas will reduce the amount of nutrients flowing from agricul-

17 County crops face rain delays but still seeing progress THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

May 27, 2015

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Despite delays caused by scattered showers and several days of cold weather, Indiana crops are still ahead on growing progress, according to Curt Campbell, Purdue Extension Office agriculture educator. Overall, Indiana’s crop progress as of May 17 is in line with the state’s five-year crop activity average, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. “In fact, we’re a little bit ahead (of the fiveyear average) on corn planted and soybeans are about the same,” Campbell told The Paper of Wabash County. “We also had record yields a year ago, so at this point we’re not, from an industries standpoint, we’re not overly alarmed by the weather.” The recent warm weather allowed for excellent growth with already planted crops. “A week ago, it was really on the warm

side,” Campbell said. “What we look at, in terms of crop progress, what we really look at is growing degree days as far as total number of the temperature and total departure from the normal. “At this point, overall, we’re actually still ahead on growing degree days as of May 17.” During the week of May 18, several days of cold weather slowed plant growth, but unless the temperature dropped below freezing, no significant damage was done, Campbell said. “If we get some frost, it’ll slow down (growth) just a little, but we’re not really going to get any damage,” he continued. The biggest problem affecting crop activity is rain, Campbell said. Scattered showers since April have narrowed planting opportunities, and with more rain expected during the week of May 25, farmers can expect more delays, he continued. “There’s also anoth-

er factor that plays into this as well,” he said. “We have a number of farmers that are no-till, use cover crops and that’s good because the soil benefits that go with that, such as there’s less compaction. There’s definitely some advantages, but the disadvantage is the farmers are not out there planting (currently). … You’re probably a day or two behind the guys who do the conventional type tillage. “Some of the smaller famers who can’t plant as quickly are probably the ones who don’t have corn planted at this time, but a pretty large number of the larger farmers have pretty much got their corn planted and are in on their beans.” On a positive note, Wabash County has not been “as wet” as other parts of the state, he said. “For instance, I was talking this morning to someone from Huntington County who does some farming and they got a couple of inches of rain where over here really

we got less than an inch,” he said. “So they’re really, really wet where as we’ve not been quite so wet in places.” If delays continue for the next two weeks, the county may “go into alert mode,” but Campbell said he remains optimistic about the situation. “If we can get back out into the fields within the next few days, then we’ll be in good shape,” he said. “I’m optimistic, but farmers have to be. … We are in pretty good shape compared to some of the counties surrounding us.” Campbell advises farmers to be patient and wait for the soil to be ready for planting before rushing out to the fields. “Farmers, if they go out and the work the soil when it’s too wet, cause a lot of soil compaction which is really going to hurt the crop later on. So, hopefully, they’re not going to be getting out too soon and they’re going to wait for the soil is ready to be worked and not creeping out there

a little bit ahead of

time and causing that

compaction.”

Shane Brothers Quartet to perform at festival By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — The Shane Brothers Quartet, a Christian gospel group whose members together have recorded more than 40 albums, will appear at Timbercrest Senior Living Community on June 20 at 1:30 p.m. during the Timbercrest Summer Festival. The quartet also owns and operates the Gospel Barn of Bluffton in northeast Indiana, the city that serves as headquarters for the troupe. Singing in the group are brothers Jeff, Mike and Rick Shane and Jim Loving. The quartet began in1992 and has since performed with nota-

bles like Glen Campbell, the Blackwood Brothers Quartet, the Kingsmen, the Florida Boys and the Booth Brothers. Jeff Shane, the group’s baritone, says the group was inspired by the brothers’ parents, who loved music and performed themselves in a family quartet. “We always had southern gospel playing in our house,” Jeff said; and he added that the purpose of the current group is “to encourage Believers.” Jeff and his wife, Amy, live in Bluffton with their five children, Austin, Caeleb, Jared, Kara and Kiah. Loving, the group’s tenor has more than 40 years experience work-

ing as a gospel soloist and as a member of several groups. Because he has a doctorate in higher education, Loving has also served as a college administrator and professor. He and his wife, Charlotte, live in Delphi, Ind.; and they have one son, Philip, who is a student at the University of Minnesota. Mike Shane, the group’s lead/second tenor, says that music has always been a part of his life; and he cites the influence of his grandfather who led worship at his home church for more than 65 years. Mike works in the radiology department at Lutheran Hospital in Ft. Wayne. He and his

wife, Michelle, have three children, Emma, Hannah and Wesley. Singing bass is Rick Shane. He says that just before he was born, his parents took him often to hear top gospel quartets like the Statesmen and the Oak Ridge Boys. When the bass singers hit their low notes, the expectant mother’s baby would go crazy. “That baby was me,” Rick said. “When I was born I had such a low cry that the doctor told my parents, ‘You are going to have a bass singer.’” Rick attended the Stamps Baxter School of Music and the Steve Hurst School of Vocal Ministry and Performance. He has sung with 10 different

Australian band to perform at NM church By The Paper staff

Sons of Korah, an Australian-based band that creates music to accompany and bring to life the book of Psalms in the Bible, will perform June 4 at the North Manchester Church of the Brethren. Founded in 1994 in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, the band takes its name from the biblical family of the same name. As of 2014, it has interpreted more than 50 of the 150 Psalms into songs, almost verbatim from scripture, and produced over seven albums and songbooks. Founder Matthew Jacoby says “the Psalms are important today because we tend to romanticize spirituality a lot and these songs present biblical spirituality in its original form, very real and yet present in such stunning poetic form. It is a perfect blend of spiritual realism with aesthetic and artistic integrity.” The Psalms have been the primary source for the worship traditions of both Judaism and Christianity. With their unique acoustic, multi-

Their three grown children and six perfect grandchildren all live in Indiana and Michigan. Rachael explained that she was a church music director when the secretary demanded a newsletter article from her at gunpoint. She had originally studied music at IU and writing had not been a goal. At Bethel College Mishawaka, she earned degrees in Professional Writing and English. There she made connections that resulted in her first biography, Frederick Douglass, followed by three others: St. Augustine, Billy Sunday and Well With My Soul . A 2007 ACFW Genesis Winner, Rachael has since written six novels and recently signed contracts for four cozy mysteries. She also has coauthored a reference guide, Women of the Bible and three novella collections. An Erma Bombeck Global Award winner, she has published more than 700 articles, newspaper columns, devotions, and stories for newspapers, magazines and various collections.

Initially Riley thought Jace had leukemia but his bone marrow test came back negative. For the next several months “Jace went to Riley weekly (sometimes twice a week) for blood work, CT scans, X-rays, MRI’s, ultrasounds, and more. All the while, Jace was physically deteriorating. On Dec. 23, they performed another bone marrow biopsy. It was confirmed Jace had aplastic anemia, a very rare disease that affects the bone marrow stem cells that produce blood cells. Jace’s bone marrow was unable to produce white blood cells, red blood cells, or blood platelets.” All of Jace’s family was tested to see if any of them would be a bone marrow match. His sister, Audrie, was a perfect match. On March 24 they extracted one liter of bone marrow from Audrie and began transplanting into Jace. After many anxious days until his white blood cell count stayed above a certain level for 4-5 consecutive days, he was able to move into the Ronald McDonald house, then to the outpatient clinic to undergo transfusions, and

then home. All of the funds raised at “Jump for Jace” will go directly to the Randel family to help defray the costs associated with this disease. There is a wonderful website jumpforjace.org (funded by Pefley’s Farm Equipment Co.) that informs more about Jace and this illness. Those wishing to can print the Jump for Jace jump rope form from the website or use the “donate” link to make a credit card donation. Jace ‘s fifth grade class at Sharp Creek welcomed him home by making signs and standing along his driveway as he pulled into home. Jace continues to deal with the after effects of his treatments and has some restrictions such as wearing a full face mask. Please keep Jace and his family and this fundraiser in your prayers. 21st CENTURY SCHOLARS program deadline is June 30: The 21st Century Scholars program is a statewide initiative that strives to make college accessible to all Indiana students.

History in the making: These pictures was taken at the Kensington Palace on May 4, the day the name of the new Royal Princess was announced - Charlotte Elizabeth Diane. Marvin and I were visiting our son, who is working for Viacom in London and lives in Notting Hill Gate, an area within walking distance of Hyde Park and the Kensington Palace. When we arrived at the Palace people were lined up at the back entrance waiting to see the Royal family leave Kensington for the weekend. When we went to the front of the palace there were numerous TV and radio stations lined up waiting for the announcement of the name of the new Princess. It was an exciting time to be in London - the birth and naming of the new Royal Princess, the election of England’s Prime Minister, and the celebration of VE (Victory in Europe) Day.

Wabash River Defenders return to Clean Out the Banks By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash River Defenders are finalizing the team assignments up for their fourth Clean Out the Banks event on July 25, but are still welcoming more volunteers to join the cause. On May 14, the organization’s committee met with nearly a dozen team leaders to update the volunteers on the cause’s recent developments, coordinate location assignments, and organize tool responsibilities for each team. Ideally, the organization would like to have 19 teams for the upcoming cleanup, one team per mile of the 19-miles the river runs through Wabash County, said founder Michael Beauchamp. “I think the more

teams, the more team leaders, the more people, the better our chance of getting our trash out,” Beauchamp said. “You can never have too many teams.” Since the organization’s founding in 2011, the Wabash River Defenders have cleared over 62 tons of debris from the river. In 2014, the Defenders determined that there was not enough debris in the river to organize a cleanup event and, instead, celebrated their efforts and thanked the volunteers with the 62 Ton RiverFest. The committee determined earlier in 2015 that there is enough debris in the Wabash River to assemble another Clean Out the Banks event. The Defenders have again partnered with the City of Wabash and local

property owners to establish access points for volunteer defenders to enter and clean areas of the river, Beauchamp said. This year, in addition to clearing trash out of the Wabash River, the organization is also pursuing an effort to prevent future water pollution and preserve water quality, according to Beauchamp. “There are active watershed initiatives on up river from us, starting in Huntington County,” Beauchamp said. “So I wanted you to know that we’re not just doing a clean out, that’s what we’re here about, but we’re also pursuing an in-depth effort on water quality.” In order to achieve this, the committee has also applied for various grants to

Wabash County man convicted in drug case By The Paper staff A Wabash County man was convicted on Wednesday, May 20, of two counts of dealing in a narcotic drug, one a Class B felony and the other a Class A Felony. The man, Joshua Schaaf, 32, was convicted following a

two-day jury trial in Wabash Circuit Court. He will be sentenced at 1 p.m. June 15. According to court records, Schaaf was an accessory to a heroin deal, which took place April 9, 2014, at the former Swifty Gas Station in Wabash. About a month

later, on May 8, 2014, he sold a package of heroin at an East Main Street resident. The Wabash County Drug Task Force investigated the case. Wabash County Prosecutor William C. Hartley Jr. represented the State of Indiana, while Stefan Poling, Huntington, represented Schaaf.

The organization has again partnered with the City of Wabash and local property owners to establish access points for the upcoming Wabash River cleanup event. Photo by Emma Rausch assist with the effort’s costs. In February, the N a t i o n a l Environmental E d u c a t i o n Foundation (NEEF) awarded the Wabash River Defenders with a $5,000 grant. The funds have gone toward formalizing the organization, collaborating with other water-cleaning initiatives for ideas, social media, marketing, and strategic planning, according to a NEEF press release. The Defenders have also applied for a Clean Water Act Section 319 grant and Lake and River Enhancement (LARE) program grant, according to Steve

Johnson, committee member and Wabash County United Fund, Inc. executive director. In addition to funding, the organization has also been working with the county’s farming community to combat water cont a m i n a t i o n , Beauchamp said. “As we’re working with all this agricultural run-off, we’re becoming more involved with our farming community, with the NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service), with the Wabash County Soil (and Water) Conservation,” he continued. “We’re

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