Tornado touches down in county By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The National Weather Service has determined that an EF-1 tornado touched down Thursday evening, March 31, in rural Wabash County. According to the NWS storm summary, the tornado touched down and skipped for about three-quarters of a mile. It initially touched down on the south side of CR 100 S. about a quarter mile east of CR 400 W. “The tornado initially damaged an old, small metal farm building, completely destroying it,” the report said. “Metal roofing was also torn off of the south side of a nearby metal pole barn.” A single-wide mobile home was moved off its cinder block foundation to the east by about four feet, the report continued. “Several soft-wood trees at this location were snapped about four feet off the ground and were dragged several feet to the east,” the NWS report said. “Debris from the outbuilding as well as roofing sheet metal from a nearby pole barn were lifted and thrown north northeast about a quarter of a mile.” The tornado then moved

Kolten Kersey, a soon-to-be Southwood High School graduate, no longer has to worry about the cost of going to college next year. On Thursday, March 31, Kersey was named the 2016 Lilly Endowment Community Scholar and received a full tuition scholarship to an accredited college or university in Indiana for four years. Julie Garber, program director Community Foundation of Wabash County, presented Kersey with his certificate and an information booklet on Thursday. “As I tell every applicant, this is the start of a 14-year relationship,” she told Kersey, “because it’s not only a fouryear scholarship. There’s a process by which we stay in touch for about 10 years afterward and they track the futures of all these scholars, what happened to them and

how the scholarship impacted their lives.” In the fall, he plans to attend Indiana University Bloomington to earn a double major in biology and Spanish in order to pursue an undergraduate degree in pre-medicine. “I just learning that I didn’t want to stop learning more and I realized if I didn’t do something with (Spanish) in college then I probably wouldn’t be able to pick it back up unless I went over there,” he told The Paper of Wabash County, “and majoring in it would give me something else to do too. “My dream is to be a neurosurgeon.” Kersey is the 35th student from Wabash County to receive the Lilly Scholarship since it began in 1998. Although Garber officially informed Kersey of the news on Thursday, she informed the senior’s parents, Bob and Gina Kersey, on Wednesday. “You know, the best thing (continued on page 22)

Wabash County Commissioners on Monday granted Indiana Landmarks 90 days to find a buyer for the old Wabash County Jail. Paul Hayden, community preservation specialist for Indiana Landmarks, asked the commissioners to give his office 90 days to advertise requests for proposals nationwide for the old county jail and then for another 60 days after the 90 days are up. Commissioner Scott Givens said he thought a representative from Indiana Landmarks already was advertising nationwide for requests for proposals because the building is an endangerment to the public. “Yes, but we will have suggestions and go out there again and announce something more specific,” Hayden told commissioners. He said Indiana Landmarks was working with Wabash (continued on page 17)

All members can also receive a free fitness consultation, according to Carpenter. “You never really know where to put people (in the workout environment) to help them unless you actually sit down and talk to them about what their real goals are,” he said. “So that’s where we are here and I know that we just started almost four weeks ago, but the goal is to get to know everybody and to help them individually.” Although the facility is open at all hours, staff are available on site Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information or to make an appointment, call 260274-0076 or email wabashIN@AnytimeF itness.com.

New BMV site is dedicated By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The new Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles license branch in Wabash was officially dedicated on Thursday, March 31. B M V Commissioner Kent Abernathy and Mayor Scott Long were among those at the brief ceremony at the new facility, 1679 N. Cass St. The BMV performs 12.5 million

transactions annually across the state of Indiana, Abernathy said in opening comments. “We do those in our branches in less than 13 minutes,” he noted. “In fact, I believe that our wait time last year across the system was 14 minutes and 8 seconds, which is pretty incredible. “We’re quite proud of that.” Abernathy also pointed out some of the new features at the facility.

BMV to see changes in 2017 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A streamlined Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles will be available to the public in 2017 under a measure signed into law March 24 by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. Pence signed House Enrolled Act 1087 into law during a ceremony at the Greenwood license branch. “I challenged the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to ensure the back office works as well the front office, and today we’ve made great progress in doing just that,” Pence said during the signing ceremony. “My administration has always made cutting red tape and improving government efficiency s a priority. True to that mission, I’m proud t sign this bill into law today.” B M V Commissioner Kent Abernathy, during a stop at the new Wabash license branch, discussed the measure with The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s really a rewrite of the motor vehicle code for the State of I n d i a n a , ” Abernathy said. “It simplifies it, streamlines it and consolidates the motor vehicle code, which was pretty onerous. It’s grown over the decades and is pretty onerous.” Among the

things the measure, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2017, is reduce or eliminate 163 different fees. “In reality, about 2.1 million Hoosiers will see a slight decrease, but a decrease nonetheless on their fees,” Abernathy said. Changes in vehicle registration also are coming. “Right now there are 191 ways to register a vehicle, believe it or not, in the State of Indiana,” he said. “We’ve reduced that number to 23.” The number of vehicle weight classes also was reduced from 21 to eight, Abernathy noted. “Before, the fee code for the motor vehicles took about four pages,” he said. “That will be reduced to one page. “I think it will make it simpler for all Hoosiers to appreciate.”

“One of the additions we have is auto test stations,” he said. “They’re great because they allow us to automatically grade the tests. Folks can take the test electronically and it’s graded electronically. “More importantly, we currently have 11 languages and soon will be adding two more, so you’ll soon be able to take the test in 13 different languages.” It also has a public restroom, which was lacking at the former facility at 45 E. Market St. One thing the BMV tries to keep in mind is its customers, Abernathy continued. “We enjoy a 96 percent customer satisfaction rate,” he said. “That’s an incredible number when you think about it. So, we always have the citizens, the customers in mind. “And as I was pointing out before, it’s important to us because our customers are also our bosses; they’re called citizens. Those are the people we work for.” In 2015, Abernathy noted, the Wabash branch conducted

more than 36,000 transactions. “To put that into perspective, they’re already off to a fast start with 8,000, nearly 9,000 transactions this year,” he added. Long welcomed Abernathy and the BMV workers to the new location. “It’s going to be more convenient for my citizens,” he said of the site. He also jokingly noted the BMV’s 96 percent customer satisfaction rate. “Hopefully in three and a half years I’ll have a 96 percent approval rating, also,” Long said, drawing laughs. “We’ll get re-elected on that, I think.” Abernathy and Long were joined by

Rebholz named City Hall receptionist By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Madison Rebholz is the new receptionist at Wabash City Hall. She will begin her duties on April 18. Mayor Scott Long announced her hiring to The Paper of Wabash County on Thursday, March 31. “She’s got a good skills set for what I’m looking for, because I want the receptionist to be our social media and website coordinator,” Long told The Paper. “She’s grown up with that technology.” A 2015 Southwood High School graduate, Rebholz is now employed part-time as a tourism coordinator with Visit Wabash County. She also is studying to be a dental

assistant at Dental Assistant Pro in Indianapolis. Long said that more than 30 people applied for the post. That number was trimmed down to seven, and those people were brought in for face-to-face interviews. “All seven had qualifications and skill sets,” Long said, adding, “all seven would have been good at the job, I’m sure.” Rebholz told The Paper that she is looking forward to her new position. “I’m excited to start something new,” she said. She doesn’t believe her studying will interfere with her new post, noting classes only are on Saturdays. “I plan on staying at City Hall,” she said. “I definitely enjoy that

MADISON REBHOLZ work more.” Her current supervisor, Visit Wabash County director Christine Flohr, said, “She’ll be a great ambassador.” “The selection of Madison for that role at City Hall is an excellent hire,” Flohr continued. “Madison will represent this community extremely well. She’s very knowledge-

able about the community, its attractions and amenities, but also about how it works, the different departments. “She will also serve as a great resource when people come in with questions and they need to be directed somewhere in the City of Wabash or in Wabash County or in City Hall.” Flohr said she was happy Rebholz received the position, and cried tears of joy for her when she learned she had received the post. Both she and Rebholz said it was good that a young professional was able to find a position that allowed them to stay in the city and county. While she begins her post full-time on April 18, Long said Rebholz’s time with Visit Wabash

County isn’t quite over. He plans on loaning her to the tourism bureau on Sept. 28 when the Bicentennial Torch Relay comes through Wabash

County. Rebholz has worked closely in arranging that visit to the county, Long noted. In the meantime, he said, “I’m looking forward to having her and

I’m looking forward to having someone to answer the phone and someone to greet the people when they come in to City Hall.”

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash County Habitat for Humanity broke ground at its new home building site, located at 490 Ferry St., on Saturday, April 2, and welcomed the Eis family to the neighborhood. Over the next several months, Matt and Sarah Eis, along with their four children and one on the way, will join Habitat volunteers and staff in building their new home. When the couple learned they were selected as partner homeowners, they were in shock. “We couldn’t even — of course it’s a blessing — but we were like, ‘They really picked us?’” Mrs. Eis told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s really exciting, yes.” By partnering with Habitat, the couple is providing stability for their children, the pair said. “They always know where they’re going to be for a long period of time,” Mrs. Eis explained. “For them to be here and to grow up in this specific neighborhood and they’re know where they’re going to be,” Eis added. “A home to come home to and the neighborhood. It’s going to be a great thing. “It’s exciting.” The local Habitat Board of Directors approved the family’s application last October and completed the partnership agreement in December, according to Jeremy Stackhouse, board member. “So far, they’ve completed 40 hours of financial literacy training, which is a

partner with Habitat and, as a new mayor, I’m looking forward … to seeking some additional lands for Habitat to build more houses within the city.”

They’ve been doing some volunteer work in the community to continue to fill their Sweat Equity and then they’ll continue to fill it on the job site as we’re building their house. “They’ve been working really hard to this day and we’re really proud to partner with them and to work right beside them for their house.” During the groundbreaking ceremony, the Eis family were also presented with a wood plank signed by the O.J. Neighbours K-Kids Club. In March, the club donated $300.01 to the local organization’s Nickels for Nails program after raising it among the fourth grade classes. By raising $300, the club’s donation will fund the purchase 6,000 nails, the amount needed to build the Eis family’s new Habitat home.

Stirring it up … with Angie Baer Guest pastor to speak at Victory Christian

Having my family gathered around my kitchen table for Easter dinner is just a great place to be and this year was especially nice. The weather was perfect for an outside Easter egg hunt.There’s nothing better than grand kids running amuck searching for the coveted “ golden egg”. (You want to see ANGIE BAER crazy, I can show you crazy!) This year,I decided to step it up a bit and change up the dinner menu. In addition to the traditional Easter dinner of baked ham and cheesy potatoes (yawn, yawn) I also made my brown lentil and pasta soup. Okay, I already know what you must be thinking as you read this...Lentils? Yikes! but stay with me on this. Lentil beans have gotten a bad rap for way too long. Lentils are not only tasty but they serve other healthful purposes as well. Lentils are

rich in fiber, they help prevent heart disease and they are high in protein. When added to soups and stews they are delicious. This recipe for brown lentil and pasta soup won’t disappoint. Promise. Brown Lentil And Pasta Soup 6 slices of bacon, cut into small squares 1 small onion,chopped 2 garlic cloves,minced 2 stalks celery,chopped 1/2 cup Ditalini Pasta 1 14 oz can brown lentils, drained 5 cups ham stock or vegetable stock 2 Tablespoons fresh mint Place the bacon in a large skillet together with the onions, garlic and celery.Fry until bacon is crisp.Drain most of the oil off. Add the pasta to the skillet and cook, stirring, for about one minute to coat the pasta. Add the lentils and the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and leave to simmer about 15 minutes until pasta is tender. Remove from heat and add fresh chopped mint. * I use dry lentils and add to the stock before the pasta and cook for about 1 hour.

By The Paper staff NORTH MANCESTER — Pastor Rafael Cruz will be sharing at Victory Christian Fellowship on Wednesday, April 6 at 7 p.m. Cruz is a powerful example of the American dream. Born in Cuba, he lived and suffered under a cruel, oppressive dictator. He began fighting Batista’s regime as a teenager and was imprisoned and tortured for his role in that fight. Cruz arrived in Texas on a student visa in 1957 with nothing but the clothes on his back and $100 sewn into his underwear. He got a job as a dishwasher, making 50 cents an hour, and worked his way through the University of Texas, while learning

RAFAEL CRUZ

English. He later built a small business in further pursuit of the American dream. Concerned with the negative impact of the Carter administration policies on the country, Cruz became engaged in conservative politics as a grassroots activist during the 1980 Presidential Campaign of Ronald Reagan. When his son, Ted, was a child growing up in Houston,

Rafael would tell him, “When we faced oppression in Cuba, I had a place to flee to. If we lose our freedom here, where do we go?” In 2012, Ted Cruz was elected U.S. Senator from Texas and is currently a candidate for president of the United States. Today, Pastor Cruz is an ordained minister, sharing the Word of God in churches and Pastors’ C o n f e r e n c e s throughout the United States. As he travels the country sharing his story and speaking on the Biblical foundations of our nation, it is his passion to e n c o u r a g e Christians in what can be done to return our nation to the principles that made America exceptional.

Food insecurity to be discussed By The Paper staff Food insecurity issues will be discussed at Voices for Food - Wabash Food Council on April 7 from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at the Wabash Christian

Church, 110 W. Hill St. Whether a family has a tough time getting enough food on the table, if one is a vegetable or livestock farmer, school cook, work at a food pantry or grocery store, care

about eating healthier, the group needs help to collectively make a difference for people in our county. After the panel the group will walk to a community garden plot.

Do you have a story worth sharing?

Blues Brothers take Honeywell Center stage By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Jake and Elwood Blues are getting the band back together on Saturday, April 9, for the Official Blues Brothers Revue at the Honeywell Center Ford Theater. The Blues Brothers, iconically known from the 1980s film classic and appearances on “Saturday Night Live,” will be returning in concert with the official seal of approval from Dan Aykroyd and Judy Belushi, widow of the late John Belushi. Belushi told The Paper of Wabash County she partnered with Aykroyd to produce the concert “to show that these characters live outside of the two actors who first performed it.” “From my perspective, I had to do it because of the fact that I’m a fan of Jake and Elwood’s characters,” she said in the phone interview, “and I think Dan and John created these iconic, American, classic characters, antiheroes. They’re buddies, they’re bromance, they’re funny without being joke-tellers or jokers. They’re situationally and visually funny. “I think they deserve a place in, you know, if there’s a great American scrapbook of characters, Superman, etcetera, that these characters should be there.” Wayne Catania takes on the role of Jake with Kieron Lafferty as his partner in crime, Elwood. Both actors were hand picked by Aykroyd and Belushi to be the Blues Brothers, officially. “I love that a lot of people are (impersonating the Blues brothers),” Belushi said. “There’s not a Blues Brothers act or moment that I don’t appreciate, but a lot of people don’t do it well. It’s a really difficult task to take on that cloak and really perform it well, physically it’s very demanding, singing and the music.” However, Catania and Lafferty are the exception. “Truthfully, when we did the auditions in Chicago, that’s where we met them, Dan and I really didn’t think we could pull it off,” Belushi said. “There were a couple Jakes and a couple Elwoods and we would have gotten them together and see what happened, but one of the key elements for this team is their camaraderie and that they have chemistry together. “Wayne and Kieron had it already.

already had that chemistry and you believed them as being a team because they’ve been together a long time. They have the chops musically and they look – I mean they don’t need to look like John and Dan – but they need to look like the description of Jake and Elwood.” Although John Belushi originally portrayed Jake, choosing to pass the character’s torch to Catania was not emotional for either Akyroyd or herself, Belushi said. “By the time we started doing this, I had I don’t know how many years ago, I had worked through my own mourning and I work with John’s characters a lot,” she said. “Also to back track, I worked on ‘The Blues Brothers’ from the beginning so I separated the characters from John and Dan early. “In fact,” she added with a laugh, “I may be the only person on set who was doing that.” The show is dedicated to the characters of Jake and Elwood, according to Lafferty. “We went through a lot of training and we watched the movie and we spent a great length of time talking with them about these characters and how they think,” he said. “We did a lot of work to sort of just understand the way they community and think and react to situations.” Catania agreed with Lafferty, but added, “It’s also about the music.” “As much as (John and Dan) were comedians and actors, they

The pair, along with the eight-piece Intercontinental Rhythm & Blues Revue Band, will perform songs from “The Blues Brothers” film and SNL performances including “Sweet Home Chicago” and “Gimme Some Lovin” as well as other classics like “Soul Man.” One of Dan and John’s biggest concerns when they originally created the Blues Brothers was to do it well, according to Belushi. “They were artists and they were lots of things, but they were amateur musicians and they were entering the professional world,” she said. “From the beginning there was a huge emphasis of getting the band – that was sort of the “We’ve got to get the band back

together” theme – and it was really important that they choose songs well, that they present this music properly and with respect. “So that’s what we tried to do too with the band.” The Official Blues

Brothers Revue will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are available for purchase by visiting honeywellcenter.org or calling the box office at 260-563-1102.

Tornado touches down in county... continued from the front page

# Debris lies scattered across a field after a tornado went through the area of County Road 400 West and Country Road 100 South on Thursday evening, March 31. Photo by Joseph Slacian Road 115 where it snapped three utility poles. This is where the damage path ended.” The tornado had an estimated peak wind of 105 mph, and had a path of three-quarters of a mile and was 60 yards wide. Some area residents expressed concern that storm sirens failed to go off.

However, Wabash County EMA officials said the National Weather Service did not issue any type of tornado warning prior to the storm. According to the NWS, an EF-1 tornado is a weak tornado with winds of between 86 and 110 mph. There were no

reported injuries. Strong winds continued throughout the day on Saturday. Wabash Police reported several trees and electric lines down in several areas of the city. Officers have many streets blocked due to live electric wires being down.

Eppley said. “But this project began in 2013.” Commissioner Brian Haupert said the 90 days plus 60 days wouldn’t go past the commissoners original year deadline to address the old county jail. “As long as the building cooperates with us,” Haupert said. Commissioners decided to grant Hayden 90 days to advertise, but did not grant him his 60 day request after that. He will be required to report back to commissioners in 90 days with an update and to discuss what’s next. Hayden said he will emphasize to buyers they would be eligible for a historic tax credit, giving them 20 percent back on their investment. Hayden said a buyer could expect to spend anywhere from $100,000 to $1,000,000, it just depends on what the building will be used for. Hayden estimated demolition would cost between $100,000 to $150,000. A month ago some of the metal cornice fell from the building’s roof, Hayden said, causing the county to block off the alley to the public for safety reasons. Hayden said if he is unable to find a serious

buyer with the capacity to fix the building within his 90 days, he will be very disappointed. “I’d be very honest and up front with the commissioners,” Hayden said. “And I’d want the community to know that we’re honest and we did the right thing. But I would ask for more time.” Also Monday, commissioners: Sold Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land’s old 2007 Dodge Charger to winning bidder Chip Cly for $1,600. Accepted nine bids to demolish the abandoned bridge over County Road 700 West and will discuss them at next Monday’s meeting. Received approval from Indiana Department of Environmental Management to construct the sanitary sewer system at the intersection of Ringel Avenue and Indiana 13 in Wabash. Heard from Sheriff Land his department booked 34 new inmates at the jail this week, which Land said is a record. The average daily population was 80.4 people, with a peak population of 84. Another 42 people are housed in the Miami County Jail.

Landmarks gets 90 days to find buyer for old jail... continued from the front page Marketplace but that they ran into a dead end and have given Hayden’s office permission to take over. Hayden said this time around, he’ll request interested buyers provide him with how much money they are able to invest, what the buyers’ end-use of the building will be and how long the buyer estimates the rehabilitation of the building will take. Hayden said knowing what the buyer plans to use the building for is essential in trying again, especially if zoning changes would be required. “I’m not opposed to the 90 or the 60 days,” Givens said. “I’m worried about liability, and the roof.” Hayden said he did an inspection on the building two years ago and also last week. He told commissioners there are structural issues, particularly with the roof. “Prolonged leaking has caused a lot of interior damage,” Hayden said, such as mold and peeling paint. Hayden said his office believes the architectural integrity is high, though, so the building is worth saving. “I don’t want to seem eager to tear it down,” Commissioners Chairman Barry

Alber street work to begin soon By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Construction along Alber Street could begin sometime this month, Street D e p a r t m e n t Superintendent Scott Richardson told the Wabash City Council on March 28. For several months, the road has been torn up as utility crews have been mov-

ing various lines in preparation for the work, which will see a widening of the road, the building of sidewalks and more. “They’ll be moving to Harrison and Alber streets soon,” he said. The city has received two grants for the work, which has been broken down into two phases. Work will include reconstructing the roadway to include

two 12-foot lanes and one eight-foot parking lane, which would be on the east side of the roadway. It also would include installation of concrete curb and gutters, curbface sidewalk, curb ramps, drive approaches, signage and pavement markings. Also, outfall locations for a new storm sewer system will be included at sites to be deter-

mined. In another matter, both Richardson and Mayor Scott Long said work on the Harrison Street bridge is proceeding nicely and, according to Wabash County officials overseeing the project, is running slightly ahead of schedule. But, as Long noted, “they won’t give us a concrete date” as to when the project will be finished.

Advanced Ag Resources updates tax abatement status By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Despite a heavy rain season last year, Advanced Ag Resources met its quota and hired on additional employees, fulfilling its tax abatement agreement. Company president B o b b y Hettmansperger spoke with the Wabash County Council on Monday, March 28, to present the company’s review of its Personal Property Tax Abatement. The company requested the 10-year abatement in 2013 and established in 2014. “This to qualify that I’ve met my deliverables, or the contract for the a b a t e m e n t , ” Hettmasnsperger told the council. The abatement allowed to company to invest in post-pro-

duction equipment for treating and packaging seed corn, according to Hettmansperger. “Our production acres have decreased quite a bit and last year we lost 75 acres of seed production because of Mother Nature,” he said, “but because of the equipment that we purchased and installed, we were able to fill our quota incapacity of that facility with outside production vendors looking for a place to give additional trading values. “So it kept my employees in place … and put two more in on full time.” In the original abatement, the company agreed to employ 17 laborers, an increase from its original 13 employees. Today, the company employs 20 workers, both full and parttime. “It’s worked out really well for us and

we appreciate the o p p o r t u n i t y, ” Hettmansperger said. Before voting to approve the report, Chairman Mike Ridenour questioned if the council should even be reviewing the abatement’s report since the County Tax A b a t e m e n t Committee had not reviewed it. “Are these reports and requests for ongoing annually, do they not go in front of the committee to check all the criteria are still being met before it’s presented to council,” Ridenour asked, “That’s what I thought the process (was).” Councilman Randy Curless, who is also on the committee, said, “I don’t think we’ve ever met to review on one. We do that to approve it.” Ridenour asked the council if it should dismiss the review until the committee could meet and review it and then

have the report represented at another meeting. “I figure given this particular circumstance, I guess I would say vote for approval,” Curless told the council. Vice chairman Bill Ruppel added, “If this is how we’ve done it in the past, bringing it here and now to review, I think we’re changing … the rules and we’re being a little late. “I think we need to go like we’ve done in the past, but make a rule change so it can be done in February.” The council approved the abatement in a 6-1 vote, Ridenour against. “I’m going to vote nay,” Ridenour said, “and just to let you know, it’s not because I’m against the information on (the report), but the information that’s on here I’m not clear of, I’m not certain of, so I’m just not going to vote yes.”

Southwood senior named Lilly Scholar...continued from the front page was calling your folks yesterday and being able to tell them what it’ll do to change your life, not so much that you’re going to college but that you can do it debt free and how much that will change your trajectory throughout life,” Garber told Kersey. Mr. and Mrs. Kersey said they were feeling excited for their son. “He’s quiet and keeps to himself and so he sets goals and doesn’t let anybody know what those goals are,” Kersey’s father told The Paper of Wabash County. “After he achieves them, he’ll say … ‘I did that because’ and it’s the same way with school. “He’s always been setting goals, self motivated and takes care of business when it comes to this.” “I always knew with Kolten he was going to achieve high things,” Mrs. Kersey added, “just because everything that he wanted to do, he was so good at and so thorough. From researching to studying to participating,

we just knew that Kolten was going to be successful with whatever he was going to do.” Outside of academics, Kersey tutors students at the Knight’s Roundtable and tutors elementary students in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program. Kersey is a member of Southwood’s Student Congress, Spanish Club, Jazz Band, County Honors Band and National Honor’s Society. He also volunteers at the Access Youth Center and with the Teens Touching Hearts program, which links teens to helping organizations and campaigns such as March of Dimes and Toys for Tots. For the second consecutive year, Southwood High School is set to graduate another Lilly Scholar. In 2015, Kersey’s predecessor and upperclassman Michael Lengel received the honor from Garber. S o u t h w o o d Principal Tim Drake told The Paper of

Wabash County he accredits the achievement to the school’s parents. “We have such a good community of parents that value education, that value schools,” Drake explained, “and this class in particular, our senior class is very strong and having three Lilly finalists speaks to that, two last year, and Kolten is a great kid, the other finalists are great kids. We just have a great group of kids. “It absolutely speaks to what we’re doing in the schools, but it’s our community.” Other finalists for the scholarship were Christian Deeter of Southwood, Max Karg of Manchester High School, Noah Shear of Northfield High School, David Shoue of Northfield High School and Danielle Sparling of Southwood. “The foundation and northeast region of Indiana, the Lumina Foundation in Indianapolis that supports education all have this goal of getting more and more people with

postsecondary education, something beyond high school,” Garber told The Paper, “and so the Lilly Scholarship is one component of our effort to reach down and get resources to families that don’t have the big resources for going to college, and it helps that we have the combination of bright students to send.” Lilly Endowment, Inc., created the Lilly E n d o w m e n t C o m m u n i t y Scholarship 18 years ago to help raise the level of education attainment in Indiana and to leverage further the ability of Indiana’s community foundations to enhance the quality of life of the state’s residents. In Wabash County, the scholarship is awarded based on nearly a dozen factors including academic achievement, financial circumstances, leadership, communication, volunteerism, initiative and recommendations.

Officials gear up for city’s 150th birthday By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Officials in the City of Wabash are gearing up to celebrate the city’s 150th birthday. The city turns 150 on Monday, April 11, Mayor Scott Long said. However, the celebration won’t take place until May 6 during the monthly First Friday celebrations in the downtown area. Long and Administrative Assistant Bev Vanderpool were to meet this week to discuss plans in detail, the mayor told The Paper of Wabash. The Wabash County Historical Museum has provided the city with sev-

eral documents and newspaper clippings from 1966, when the city celebrated its centennial. “I have the historic documents that the museum sent to me,” Long said. “They include birthday greetings from the governor sent for the 100th birthday. “I am going to try to scan them and put them on the city’s Facebook page.” The city’s birthday falls in the same year the State of Indiana is celebrating its 200th birthday. That, Long admitted, leaves him in some kind of quandary. “I don’t know how big you make it,” he said of the celebration. “We’re getting ramped up (for the bicentennial) too. We’ll do something

nice at City Hall. “And I think First Friday is a good time to do it because you get more people d o w n t o w n . Hopefully the weather will be cooperative.” The Wabash County Historical Museum is offering a T-shirt that features the city’s 150th birthday. It is available at the museum for $15. The first settlers in Wabash County were Colonel David Burr, Colonel Hugh Hanna and Alexander Worth. In January 30, 1833, Wabash County was established and Wabash City was first incorporated in January 1849. Joseph A. Matlock was elected the first mayor of Wabash.

Pathfinder Services hits 50-year mark By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Pathfinder Services celebrated its 50th anniversary on Monday, March 28, at its newest men’s group home in Wabash. Since 1966, the organization has supported the northeast Indiana region by offering education, training, affordable housing and employment services to people with disabilities and others facing social and economic challenges. Chant Thompson, the organization’s board chair, welcomed staff, clients and local community leaders to the celebration. “A group of people thought it’d be great to respond to the needs of the developmentally disabled and started in Huntington, not to far from Wabash, some 50 years ago,” he said, “and those founding fathers and mothers of Pathfinder Services would just be blown away today.” On June 1, 1988, Pathfinder Services purchased two Arc of Wabash group homes and began its services in the city, according to John Niederman, president. “We have developed a couple other group homes in Wabash County, one on Pike Street and one in North Manchester, and then supported living sites throughout this community,” he said. “We also brought over our folks who are involved with employing people for resource connection, our division for employment services, and they help citizens of Wabash also who have disabilities to be employed.” The organization commemorated the achievement on Monday at The South Pointe in Wabash, “a subdivision that Pathfinders was profoundly responsible for facilitating,” Thompson said. Within the subdivision, Pathfinders Services created and offered 54 new homes to the community through its Community Connections program from 2005 and 2006. The organization is currently working on filling another 26 of the subdivision’s remaining 31 lots. “But these things don’t just happen,” Thompson said. “They evolve with the energy of a lot of people over a period of time, and the sustainability for 50

John Niederman, Pathfinder Services president, presents Mayor Scott Long with a hand-decorated plaque at the organization’s 50th anniversary celebration on Monday, March 28. The plaque is a token of the organization’s appreciation for attending the event and proclaiming the day as “Pathfinder Services 50th Birthday Celebration” in Wabash. Photo by Emma Rausch years is something to be very proud of.” For 31 of the company’s 50 years, Niederman has served as the organization’s president. “Like Arc of Wabash here in town … we also started with children and emerged into an organization today that is a comprehensive community development organization that has over 500 staff and service well over 4,000 people a year through our own region,” he said, “and we are very grateful for the support we’ve received over the years that have enabled us to do that, especially from all of you who are on staff here today and

everyday work that you do on of our services.” Pathfinder Services has a vision looking forward into the next 50 years, Niederman continued. “That vision is a community in which all people are valued, accepted and have control over destinies,” he explained. “The key thing, value and acceptance, an inclusive community where everybody’s accepted and they have control over their lives. “Our mission today is to strengthen communities … primarily though by enabling people experiencing developmental or economic challenges to

achieve independence, inclusion and stability.” Wabash City Mayor Scott Long attended the ceremony and proclaimed the day “Pathfinder Services 50th Birthday Celebration.” “The partnership with Pathfinders to develop this subdivision has been a boom for our community and we’re getting, like he said, to complete the other 26 residencies out here,” Long said before reading the proclamation. “Along with that, some of the things that the city is trying to do, we’re in the process along with part of our Stellar projects is to

24 SPORTS Manchester’s Fierstos to play at Bethel

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester High School boys’ basketball senior Chase Fierstos announced his decision to continue his education and basketball career at Bethel College in Mishawaka. “I chose Bethel because of the people, coaches and players. Ever since my first visit I fell in love with the school,” Fierstos said. I like how it’s a

Christian-based school and it just felt like the perfect fit for me.” Bethel head coach Mike Lightfoot is looking forward to Fierstos joining the program. “We are very excited Chase has selected Bethel,” Lightfoot said. “His best days are ahead of him and as he gets stronger and learns to play at the college level, we are excited to see what he will accomplish as a Pilot.” A 6-foot, 4-inch guard, Fierstos led

the Squires to a 14-10 record this past season, scoring 21.1 points per game, with 2.7 assists and 2.5 rebounds per game. During his four years at Manchester, Fierstos was a fouryear starter, leading the Squires to a 54-39 record. He was voted First Team All-TRC during his sophomore, junior and senior years. He was selected to the 2015 Indiana Top 100, was voted the Wabash County Player of the Year, was the Wabash

County Tourney MVP, including hitting a game-winning buzzerbeater in the championship game. Fierstos is also the sixth player in Manchester High School history to score more than 1,000 points. Bethel finished this past season with a 2410 record, taking third in the Crossroads League and advanced to the round of 16 in the NAIA National Tournament.

DNR seeks input on fish, Manchester announces hunt, trap regulations athletic physicals From the DNR

The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife is seeking the public’s ideas on fishing, hunting, trapping and other fish-andwildlife-related regulations in Indiana, including special permits. From April 1 to May 15, the public can use a convenient online form to contribute ideas and provide

input on issues the DNR has identified for consideration. The form is at wildlife.IN.gov/7373.h tm. “Got INput?” allows the public to comment on ideas put forward by the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife as well as requests for rule changes from citizen petitions. The program also allows members of the public to propose their

own ideas on any fishing, hunting or trapping topic. Got INput users must register with a username and a password. Input and ideas can also be mailed to: DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife Attn: Got INput 402 W. Washington St., Room W273 Indianapolis, IN 46204 This is the second

year of the Got INput program. The first year, in 2014, more than 3,000 comments were received. After May 15, the Division of Fish & Wildlife staff will evaluate all comments and seek approval on rule changes to present to the Natural Resources Commission for preliminary adoption. No rule proposals would take effect this year.

By The Paper staff Every student grades 6-12 who plans to participate in a school sponsored sport must have an IHSAA approved physical on file with the school prior to being able to practice. On June 19, 2016, all athletic physicals from this year will be discarded. A physical for the 2016-17 school year must take place after April 1, 2016. There are no exceptions. To better accommodate its student-athletes, the school district will host an athletic physical night from 5:30 to 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, April 12, at the Walnut Street Clinic. The cost is $15 per person (cash or check only – checks payable to: Manchester Jr.Sr. High School). A parent must be present with the student-athlete during the physical In order to take part in this event, students must have the athletic physical packet, which can be picked up at

MJSHS or MIS during school hours until April 11. Students must have all forms filled out in the physical packet (packets will be collected at the clinic that evening). The completed athletic physical form will be kept by the high school Athletic Department. Walnut Street Clinic will not have a copy of this on file. There are several conditions that require more attention than is provided in a normal athletic physical. If any of the items listed below apply, students will need to see their family physician to complete this physical. This is for their own safety. Asthmatics must bring: list of current medications and a note from family physician or pulmonologist stating that the patient is stable with their asthma and has been seen in the past 6 months. Heart murmur - if a student has had a normal echocardiogram, it is OK for them to par-

ticipate. However, they must present physician documentation or the echo report stating that the echo is normal. Head injury – If a student has had a documented concussion (seen by a physician), they should not come. Seizure/epilepsy – If a student has been seizure free for five years, they can participate in this physical event. If you have had a seizure within the last 5 years, you should not come on April 1. An athletic physical is not the same as a yearly checkup. School officials are not discouraging students from seeing their family physician for their checkup or to complete this physical. This is just another option for you to consider. Please keep in mind that Medicaid and some private insurance providers cover a yearly checkup/physical. Please contact the school nurse for clarification or clearance to participate if you have one of the above conditions.

USDA unlikely to purchase sugar From the USDA

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) announced last week that it does not expect to purchase sugar under the

Feedstock Flexibility Program in the second quarter of 2016. The CCC is required to announce quarterly estimates of sugar to be purchased for the Feedstock Flexibility Program based on crop and consumption forecasts.

Federal law allows processors of sugar beets and domestically grown sugarcane to obtain loans from USDA with maturities of up to nine months when the sugarcane or sugar beet harvest begins. The loans provide interim financing so that commodi-

ties can be stored after harvest, when market prices are typically low, to be sold later, when price conditions are more favorable. Upon loan maturity, the sugar processor may repay the loan in full or forfeit the collateral (sugar) to USDA to

satisfy the loan. The Feedstock Flexibility Program was reauthorized by Congress in the 2014 Farm Bill as an option to avoid sugar forfeitures. USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March 9, 2016, World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report proj-

ects that domestic fiscal year 2016 ending sugar stocks are unlikely to lead to forfeitures. USDA closely monitors domestic sugar stocks, consumption, imports and other sugar market variables on an ongoing basis, and will contin-

ue to administer the sugar program as transparently as possible using the latest available data. The next quarterly estimate regarding the Feedstock Flexibility Program will occur prior to July 1, 2016.
