CEDIT funding sought for bike trail

4-H Fair events begin on July 6 By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County 4-H Fair kicks off tonight, July 6, and will continue for the 10 dayd as youth show off their skills in agriculture, education development, crafting and more. Angela Christopher, local 4-H extension educator of youth development, told The Paper of Wabash County that the fair is about community. “The fair is a great place for us to come together as a community and to have to good time, to recognize youth in our community for the hard work and efforts they put into 4-H projects on a large base effort,” she said. “It’s not one of those events where it’s this team against this team or this school against this school. “It’s all of the 4-H members together working and everybody trying their hardest in just doing a good job to learn life skills and to show their successes to everybody that comes.” Several changes were made this year to the fair’s line to create “a nicer atmosphere for the kids for these events.” Tonight at 7 p.m., this year’s fair queen will be crowned at the 2016 4-H Fair Queen Pageant at the Honeywell Center. Following the pageant, 35 10year members will be recognized for their efforts and contributions to their local 4-H Club.

Aerojet Rocketdyne in 2015. Long said Aerojet Rocketdyne was paying for the testing and work at the site. “They’re good people to work with; they’re conscientious,” he said, noting they are working with multiple problem sites around the United States. “They’ll take care of the problem they created.” IDEM officials notified the city in November 2010 that traces of trichloroethylene were found in testing spots near the former building,

The Wabash River Trail (WRT) is seeking county government’s assistance with its multi-million dollar project, specifically $1.2 million of County Economic Development Income Tax (CEDIT) funds. Amy Ford, Wabash River Trail Inc. chair, met with the County Council on Monday, June 27, to request the council’s support in pursuing the funding with the Wabash County Commissioners. “Multi-use trails are high on the list for attracting individuals to work, live, raise a family and contribute to a community,” she said. “Wabash County has so much to offer and this trail would be another caveat to our community. … All of this can do nothing but help with economic development.” Ford first announced the trail’s proposal on March 30, 2015, at a Wabash “The proposed C o u n t y Commissioners first phase, meeting.

The multi-use recreational path is planned to stretch approximately 33 miles from Huntington through Wabash and into Peru, where it would connect with the Nickel Plate Trail in Miami County.

Private donations are targeted at approximately $3.6-4 million, which also has a $2 million match on the first $2 million raised.” The trail’s board of directors also hopes to align the project with the Northeast Regional Cities Initiative, Ford said.

Parkview Wabash breaks ground for new facility By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com With the turn of several spades of dirt on Thursday, June 30, ground for the new Parkview Wabash Hospital was broken. The 30-minute ceremony took place just to the east of the site of the new twostory, 80,000-square-foot facility between Wabash Street and the Wellbrooke of Wabash facility. Hundreds of local and Parkview officials, Parkview staff members and others associated with the project listened to a series of speeches before the actual groundbreaking. Parkview Health President and CEO Michael Packnett praised Wabash for all the amenities it has to offer not only to

its citizens, but also to those throughout Northeast Indiana. He also praised Marilyn Custer-Mitchell, Parkview Wabash president, for her efforts in the transition to the Parkview system. After years of contemplation and deliberation, Wabash County Hospital officials agreed to affiliate with Parkview Health. The affiliation became official on Jan. 1, 2015. “It’s not easy to transition to a different health system,” Packnett said. “All these different procedures and everything.” He then discussed the $35 million, state-of-the art facility. “I can tell you this is going to be just a great facility,” Packnett said. “So many (continued on page 4)

Work at GenCorp site coming soon By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Work on cleaning up a portion of contaminated land near the former GenCorp site at Stitt and Bond streets could begin in the near future. Mayor Scott Long, in response to a question from Council member Bryan Dillon, said runoff contamination has been found next to the railroad tracks in Wabash City Park. “There’s about six inches of soil on top of rocks,” Long told Council at the June 27 meeting. “But in saying that,

they have to get a plant biologist to come in and identify all the plants that are there before they can do any excavation so that the (same type of) plants can be replanted. “It’s a bigger production than just coming in to remove the contaminated soil six inches deep then replacing it with six inches of soil. “Everything has to be returned the way it was before they started. You should see them begin work on the GDX site within the next year.” GenCorp, which was founded as General Tire in 1915, was renamed

which was razed in August 2010. The TCE traces were found in several spots in Wabash City Park. Testing was done on land surrounding the former plant because the then-owners, One General Street LLC, refused access to the site. “Things are progressing; it’s just a

slow process,” Long said, noting there is some good news about the site as well. “The land areas near Stitt Street, from 1 General Street, which bisected the property, to Stitt Street are not contaminated. There is no contamination.” Potentially, Long said, that area could be used for future

Wabash Municipal Airport looking to expand runway now at the Wabash airport is the length of our east-west runway,” Traver told Council. “It’s 4,400 feet. There’s a magic number of 5,000.” The length of 5,000 feet is preferred by insurance companies, he said. Those pilots who regularly land on runways of at least 5,000 feet in length generally have lower premiums than those who don’t. “It’s not so much landing that’s the problem; it’s the takeoff,” Traver said. “You have to be able to accelerate to a certain point, and either stop or fly.”

Officials at the Wabash Municipal Airport are looking to lengthen one of its runways in the next several years. The lengthening is needed, Jeff Traver, owner of Northern Indiana Aviation told the Wabash City Council on Monday, June 27, to allow the airport better handle jets.

The airport is “kind of landlocked,” he said, noting that there is a road on the west edge of the existing runway. Officials hope to obtain 600 additional feet of land on the runway’s east side, enabling it to hit 5,000 feet in length. The airport has been trying to increase jet traffic in recent years. In 2015, the airport received Federal A v i a t i o n Administration and Indiana Department of Transportation grants of more than $300,000 to install a Jet A Fuel Farm, according to its annual report distributed to Council members. The airport, according to the report, receives several jet aircraft operations that are unable to fuel at the airport. In addition, Lutheran Air Medical Transport helicopters, which located at the airport in 2014, also use Jet A fuel, the report noted. “This project will allow based aircraft and transient aircraft to make Wabash their one stop for fuel,” the report read. Work began in fall 2015. However, as of Traver said that as of his report to the Council, although the jet fuel tank was built and was operational, “we haven’t sold a dime of it yet.” “The reason being has been insurance,” he told Council. “Luckily, that has been resolved. The underwriter for the city has OK’d our insurance …” Jet fuel sales were expected to begin Tuesday, June 28. Council member Bryan Dillon reminded the Council that the city receives the revenue from fuel sales at the airport.

CEDIT funding sought for bike trail ... continued from the front page “This leaves a shortfall of approximately $1.2 million in which I would like to ask the county for their assistance in covering this over the next two years,� she said. Ford told the council that Phase I trail construction will begin in August, starting east of Kerr Lock and heading west along Basin Street in Lagro. Mike Ridenour, council chair, supported Ford’s request and encouraged the other councilmen to do the same. He also called attention to an article in the June 1 issue of The Paper of Wabash County in which landowners, located between Wabash and Peru, voiced concerns that plans were made for the trail to travel through their properties. According to the landowners, the trail’s westbound plans were made without their consultation prior to Ford’s May announcement. Ridenour told the board that the monies would be to fund the portion of trail from Lagro to Wabash and “it’s the only part that (Ford’s) been working on.� “So I did want to point that out because I did read in one of the newspapers that they had talked and landowners that had river running through their property in areas that aren’t even being discussed are kind of uneasy,� he said. “Well it’s because nothing has been done with that. It’s not been discussed and it’s not been said, ‘Well that’s the way we’re

going to go.’ “They just started.â€? Ford is a person who starts things and makes them happen, he continued. “If there were a truer investment in economic development, I don’t know what it’d be,â€? Ridenour told the council. “You guys all know here that there’s a lot of expenditures out of (CEDIT) that don’t have anything to do with or anything related to economic development. “I guess it’s my hope and desire (and) we’ve got to see where the budget takes us, but it’s my hope to start spending CEDIT money, or economic development money, on actual economic development projects.â€? While Ridenour expressed his support, other councilmen and county government officials voiced concerns. Bill Ruppel, council vice chair, called attention to Ford’s board intent to become a Northeast Regional Cities project. “If you go through the Northeast Regional Cities, you’d also be opening it to Miami and Huntington County but because of that those two counties would be the main ones affected by it,â€? he said. “Ok so if the Northeast Regional does choose that as a project, we would have to be ‌ putting money into the Northeast Regional part of the funding. “We would be responsible for doing the matching portion, the way I understand it.â€? Ideally, local government would only be responsible for 20 per-

cent of the funding, according to Keith Gillenwater, Wabash County Economic Development Group CEO. “Basically the way that the projects for the Regional Cities break down is ‌ that ideal break down is a 20-60-20 break down,â€? Gillenwater told the council. “The last 20 percent coming from the regional cities, 60 percent private and then 20 percent of local government or other. “That local government or other can also go into the private side so it can be 80 percent and 20 percent for regional cities, so the idea of the program is that you have a match from the locals as well as the private sectors as well as the state.â€? Ford added that the $1.2 million wouldn’t be for construction into Wabash County, reiterating that it would be used for Phase I through Lagro. However, with or without other funding assistance, the CEDIT account may not be able to handle the request, according to Brian Haupert, county commissioner. “In our CEDIT budget, that’s where it’d be coming from and that number is a little bit large for that fund to take on because it only brings in $744,000 a year,â€? Haupert said. “So there’s a whole bunch of stuff that would have to go away to make room for that.â€? Ridenour, however, disagreed. “I’ve been running some numbers for this year and it seems like at the time when I was

running these numbers when I got the financials, the current balance was around ($983,000),� he explained. “Revenue you’ve yet to receive this year was another $433,000.� In April, the county also received a special distribution of $1,887,879.33 per the Senate Enrolled Act 67 with the option to utilize 25 percent, or $47,969.83, for any purpose, he continued. “You add those numbers up, you’re at $1.8 million by the end of the year with the majority of expenses are already paid out of it,� Ridenour said. “You know, Brian, we’ve spoken about this before when we met with Christine (Flohr) on her request and the majority of the expenditures have nothing to do with economic development,� he continued. “So, like I said, the last time we had met as a council, we had all kind of agreed that we would like to spend those monies for economic development purposes unless we were just blowing smoke and I don’t think it was. “So this year, we’re going to try to see what we can do to actually budget for economic development projects and see where we end up on the budget. We’re not going to known unless we try.� Since the request is over the next two years, the council would budget for $600,000 in 2017 and $600,000 in 2018, Ridenour explained. “Like I said, the CEDIT budget is going to be pretty healthy,� he

City Court’s new computer, judicial tracking system working well By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash City Court’s new computer system is up and running, and Judge Tim Roberts told the Wabash City Council that he is pleased with the new equipment. Late last year Roberts received permission from the council to update the system, which has been in place for about 20 years. To do so, the judge had to seek permission from the Indiana Supreme Court because he was hoping to install a system different then the one the state’s high court recommended. The approval came

earlier this year. “The girls have had their training,� Roberts told the Council on Monday, June 27. “We’re up and running and everything is going really well. “We had less training time than what they had projected, so we do have a credit of a few hundred dollars that the company is holding for us. We might have enough money in that to pay next year’s maintenance agreement.� The Supreme Court was pushing the Odyssey system produced by a firm in Plano, Texas. However, Roberts opted to go with the Computer Systems Inc. Judicial Tracking System, based in

Fishers. “We’re not on the system the state recommends,� the judge reminded Council. “We’re on the system approved by the state. We got our letter of permission from the state supreme court.� And while the system is running, Roberts admitted everything wasn’t perfect. “I won’t say we haven’t had a little hiccup here or there,� he said. “But the nice thing is we aren’t calling Texas (to resolve the issue). We’re calling Fishers, and within an hour it’s taken care of. “It’s running exceptionally smooth. It’s a thousand times better than our last system.�

said. While the council may decide to include the request in the 2017 budget, Ruppel said it won’t be “this councilâ€? budgeting for 2018. “It’ll be a new council and they’ll be the ones that will have to make the decisions,â€? he said. “How much they want to put in CEDIT, how much they want to put into the other pots or buckets will be their decision which will have to take place by the 2018 budget. “So if you’re putting the money out now for the project and the new council says, ‘We can’t fund it’ and pull the money, that’s not fair to them either.â€? The 2018 budget is a whole different animal, he continued. “I think making a promise that’s going to cost to make it this year would be hard ‌ and I don’t think you want to get into a project where the money might not be there the second year,â€? Ruppel said. The quantity of the money is not being altered at all, according to Councilman Claude Markstahler. “It’s just the means of the funding,â€? he explained. Councilman Jeff Dawes added that the council can make changes in their funding, “but I think then it falls to the Commissioners to get all that together ‌ because it still falls

how those monies to spend. So at the end of the day, it’s on us to make the decision. That’s the way I look at it. We can’t really obligate future councils.â€? Markstahler told Ford the Council supports her efforts. “I don’t think you have to worry about our commissioners over extending the county,â€? he said. “We’ll do what we can, but there’s only so much (that we can do). ‌ But they will do what they can and so will the board.â€?

under their jurisdiction.â€? There is no question that it is the Commissioners’ budget, Ridneour said. “I’m asking the council’s opinion as well as the Commissioners’ that she include her request on what she needs on their budget,â€? he explained. “But at the end of the day, their budget, CEDIT, ‌ is approved right here. We do that. We discern. That’s what we were elected to do. “We were elected to make the decision on

help the city and county continue the momentum it has built in recent years.

A rendering of the new Parkview Wabash Hospital, located on U.S. 24, that will begin construction in the following months. The facility will offer a full-service emergency department with around the clock care, a medical/surgical unit and OB/GYN services. Photo provided “There are three things, at least, every time you build a community hospital, three things happen,” Packnett said. “First, it becomes a lot easier to recruit physicians and staff to the area. Second, what we see every time, is more and more people want to receive care in their hometown. “And then, finally, because of more people wanting to be here, the biggest thing we get to do is add more jobs to the community. There will be more nurses, more housekeepers, more X-ray techs, and so that just adds to that economic develop-

ment in a positive way. “The other thing it will do for us is it will be a great tool to give excellent care to every patient that walks through those doors every day.” Wabash County native David Haist also addressed the crowd. “I’ve seen firsthand the difference Parkview has made in the greater Fort Wayne area and the other areas it serves,” said Haist, who is 15year member of Parkview’s board of directors and its current board chair. “When the Wabash County Hospital

board started talking a couple of years ago about looking for a strategic partner, I was thrilled that they considered partnering with us and was even more thrilled that they chose Parkview as their healthcare partner for the future.” He noted that the Wabash board of directors worked tirelessly to bring the partnership together, saying the end result will be “a hospital that will not only address the needs of the community today, but will also be well positioned with the forward looking approach of what’s

needed in healthcare for years and years to come.” Mayor Scott Long and Roger Cromer, chair of the Parkview Wabash Hospital board of directors, also addressed the crowd, as did Dr. James Bain, who spoke on behalf of the medical staff. “We’re looking forward to working with Parkview and assisting in any way that we can,” the mayor said. Cromer said, “It’s an exciting time for Parkview and the City of Wabash, and I’m glad to be a part of it.” Bain noted that the (continued on page 5)

4-H Fair events begin on July 6 the 10-year members in the 4-H Grows spotlights. “There’s actually a hash tag that goes with that, #4HGrows,” Christopher said, “and if any of the public goes on (social media) and gives a shout out to any 10year 4-H member or any other member they know, they’re really looking for shout outs about how 4-H has grown leadership and life skills in kids.” On Thursday, July 7, all non-livestock projects will be judged. In the evening, once the Sewing and Fashion Review judging completes, youth will don their projects and present a fashion show at the Honeywell Center. “As soon as that judging is over, and we anticipate it to be about 7:30 p.m., in Legacy Hall at the

Honeywell Center that is when we’ll have a public fashion review where the public can come in and watch the (youth) model the outfits that they have made for Sewing,” Christopher said. The Horse and Pony Show will kick off the livestock showings on Friday, July 8, with the pleasure events and showmanship portions of the event. On Saturday, July 9, 4-H Dog Club youth will exhibit what they’ve practiced with training and working with their pets during the Dog Show. “Monday the 11th we start what the community thinks of as the main fair week and that’s because the stage events, arena events, carnival events, all of the shows in the arena start that day,” Christopher said.

“For (4-H youth), we’d have our Poultry Show as well as our Goat Show.” Tuesday, July 12, will be the “action packed day” of the entire week, according to Christopher, as youth participate in the Beef Show at 8 a.m., Sheep Show at 4 p.m. and Dairy Show at 7 p.m. The Rabbit Show will also take place sometime during the day. “We did it this way last year and it worked fairly well,” she explained. “For some of those kids that are in multiples of those projects, it keeps them very busy that day.” This year’s Swine Show will take place on Wednesday, July 13, and feature 415 head of swine, according to Christopher. “(The Swine Show) is by far our largest in numbers of all of our

variety of programs and services including: — A full-service emergency department with 24/7 care. — A helipad for use by Samaritan or other medical transportation helicopters. — Diagnostic imaging. — An in-patient medical/surgical unit. — A sleep center. — Cardiac and pulmonary rehab.

The largest applause came when she reminded that OB/GYN service would be returning to the hospital. “We really thought about the community’s needs when we designed this facility,” she said. “Women’s health was a service area we identified as a growth opportunity, and so far the feedback has been outstanding.”

The Access grant helps make local homes safer By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com More than 35 area homes are safer today, thanks to a grant received by The Access Youth Center. The Access recently received a $5,000 grant from the Region 6 Local Prevention Grant through SCAN (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect), Executive Director Liz Hobbs told The Paper of Wabash County. The money was used to create 40 safety bags, which were then donated to families around the area, according to Laura Helm, director of the Access Learning Academy. “We had permission from the grant writers to put together safety bags and give them away to people who needed them,” Helm said. “They include such

The Access Youth Center volunteers, Donna Hobbs, Irene Whiteman, and Marilyn Montgomery fill the safety bags. Photo provided things as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, child safety locks, gun locks … all of those things that would help a family keep their children safer. “The safety locks that we found are removable so if someone is in an apartment or renting a house, there’s no fear that they’re putting something up that can

be removed. They work on cabinets. They also work on toilet seats. They have so many uses.” Helm said Access officials wanted to try to provide a service they had not done in the past. The facility provides after-school snacks to local youth throughout the year. It also provides a back-to-school pro-

gram in which families can receive various school supplies. “We were looking for some kind of an opportunity that was outside anything we have done,” Helm said. “It helped us kind of look at the entire aspect of how to keep (youngsters) safe and to help their parents keep them safe.” (continued on page 7)

10 non-profits to benefit from chili cook-off A multitude of applications were submitted to the Chili for Charity Committee for consideration for funding from the annual cookoff scheduled for October 15 at Paradise Spring Historical Park. United Fund and Chili for Charity officials are pleased to

By The Paper staff Ten local non-profit organizations have been selected to receive funding from the 2016 Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity. In addition to proceeds from the annual cook-off, another $10,000 from the 2016 Wabash County United Fund (UF) campaign has been earmarked to be shared among the 10 non-profits. This is the seventh straight year that UF has teamed with Chili for Charity. Charities that have been selected to benefit from this year’s fundraiser are: — Best of the Best — Honeywell Educational Outreach Program — 85 Hope — Blessings in a Backpack — Family Service

once again be working together. “Chili for Charity generously assists with meeting funding gaps throughout the county,” said Steve Johnson, United Fund executive director . “Partnering together to generate greater impact is how communities create lasting change. “

Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity is pleased to partner with United Fund again. “Leveraging local dollars to reinvest in our community is a great by-product of the cook-off,” shared Todd Titus, president for the organization. “When we work together, that is always a good

thing.” Funding is reserved for non-profit organizations serving Wabash County. United Fund focuses on three main funding initiatives: Income/Financial S t a b i l i t y , Health/Healthy Living and Education.

... continued from page 6 Of the 40 bags, 36 have been distributed. The remaining four are being kept in reserve, Helm noted, “because we know this summer there will be people either moving or coming into the community and may need them.” She said facility officials are also considering purchasing more items to keep on hand. “While we knew it was a need, I don’t think we knew what a great need it was,” she said. “As we were passing them out, people would say, ‘My sister has three kids and could use one of these, too.’ “There probably is a greater need than

we even realized.” By distributing the items, she said, Access officials also were able to introduce the facility and its offerings to families who may not have known about it. “It was just such a wonderful feeling to give them something: ‘Here you go, we hope this helps you keep

your kids safer,’” Helm said. “It was really a privilege to serve in a different way and to help us open our eyes into something that we may want to look forward to in the future. “That’s $5,000 worth of safety supplies that went into our community with our families to help our children.”

4-H Grows Creativity:

Through the 4-H goat project, Abby has learned that she must be creative to get the goat to do what she wants. In 4-H Abby has also learned that you can’t be average and do well. To do her best and get the placing or ribbon that she wants, she has learned to think creatively. She recalled a time in Arts & Crafts when many 4-H members arrived to the fair with a similar project. Abby believes hers did well because she had put extra thought and creativity into the design. Abby continued “All of these same concepts are true in life as well. If I want a job over other candidates, I am going to have to think creatively to show how I am better than the others…I can’t be average and get the job. When I enter the field of nursing, there may be times when patients do not cooperate. In situations like this, the creativity that I learned through the 4-H goat project will help me to be successful.”

“4-H has a variety of different ways for the members to express their creativity. I have been able to be creative through projects like fine arts and general crafts, but my favorite is the performing arts project that was added in recent years.” Hannah anticipates that the opportunities she has had to create her own dances, express herself, and then to receive constructive criticism from judges in the 4-H program will help her to be successful as she studies dance in college. Hannah would like to encourage parents and youth to consider joining 4-H. “It seems like there are a lot of stereotypes that only kids who show livestock are in 4-H. The livestock shows are great and teach a lot, but there are other projects too. Look into your options in 4-H because there is a project for everyone. 4-H is a great way to for youth to express themselves and be creative and there are lots of options to engage in STEM activities as well.”

One of the projects that has really taught Makayla to be creative is scrapbooking. In scrapbooking, she has to be organized in the way she puts the book together. Makayla must also continually work to come up with new and cool ideas for ways to assemble the pages in her scrapbook. “The creativity I have learned in the scrapbook project has also encouraged me to be creative with my veal project. I have learned that one set plan doesn’t always work because every animal is different and may require a different feed or medication plan.” Makayla has also learned to be creative and how to solve problems when things may not go as planned. “By learning to work creatively through problems now, that will help me in the future in college and eventually in the field of nursing. I have learned to be creative and think outside of the box when solving problems.” The creativity skills and lessons Makayla has learned in 4-H are great life skills that will help her to be successful in the future.

City Council gets early look at Wabash City Schools budget By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash City School’s General Fund budget will continue to drop in 2017, WCS Business Manager Matt Stone told the

Wabash City Council on Monday, June 27. “Two years ago, our General Fund budget was adopted at $10.9 million,” he told the Council. “This year I’ll probably bring you a budget of about $9.6 (million). So, we’ve lost

$1.3 million from our General Fund in two years. “But we have the same amount of students. Our student population has not gone anywhere.” Stone appeared before the Council to

update it on the WCS budget. Because WCS is one of the few remaining appointed school boards in the state, it must have its budget approved by the governing body that makes the appointments. In WCS’s case, it is the Wabash City Council. The General Fund pays for salaries and benefits, as well as some maintenance. “But for the most part it pays for people,” Stone said, noting that about 11 percent of the fund has been reduced over two years. “When we come back this year with our General Fund budget, it will be about $9.6 (million) or in that area. The state projections for our fund, from the state to the General Fund, come in at about $9.5 (million) and then of course we get a little extra revenue so we’ll cover the $9.6 (million).” Within the last month, the district cut $400,000 from the budget to help cover a $500,000 shortfall the state imposed on the district. Local officials made several trips to Indianapolis to talk to lawmakers, but to no avail. “In fact, we were told we’re one of the

unlucky handful of school systems that under the new (funding) formula, despite the fact we didn’t lose any kids, lost money. Out of the 300-plus school districts in the state, we were one of six to lose money and not lose any kids. “You can call it bad luck, but we didn’t really look at it that way. We don’t really understand what we did to deserve that and why.” District officials attempted to pass a tax referendum during the May Primary to create a tax to counter the state funding loss. The measure failed, and because of that, two administrators and several faculty members were among the cuts that were made to help save funds. Some things have worked to the district’s advantage, Stone noted. “There was some reorganization done with the WabashMiami Area Program, which is our special ed co-op,” he said. “The (Heartland) Career Center did a great job and brought in a budget that was a couple of percent below last year. So we feel good about those things in our General Fund. “Hopefully, we won’t have to make any more cuts. The state says

that now the budget is where it’s going to be, so as long as our student population stays steady, we should be OK.” District officials project an enrollment of 1,405 this fall, up five students from last year. The General Fund is the largest of the funds that make up the school budget. Also included in the budget is the Debt Service Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Transportation Fund and Bus Replacement Fund. The Debt Service Fund will see an increase for 2017, but that’s because the 2016 budget was down about $200,000, Stone said. It will be around $1 million. Capital Projects will remain the same, between $1.1 and $1.2 million. That fund goes to not only pay for building upkeep, but for such things as technology, insurance and utilities. “Two years before this when they cut us a couple hundred thousand dollars, that really hurt us because by the time we pay off utilities, insurance and technology, we really didn’t have any funds left to work on the buildings,” Stone said. The Transportation Fund pays for bus drivers’ salaries and fuel.

The 2017 budget will be between $550,000 and $600,000. Stone said he was “frustrated” by the Bus Replacement Fund. “There’s a law that you get 12 years and then you’re supposed to replace buses,” he said. “I guess we had too many come up to get replaced, so we didn’t get the money this year to replace the buses we needed to. We had to not replace one activity bus. “I think we’re lucky this year in that we only have one bus that we have to replace, so we can add that activity bus in there.” Even with the activity bus added in, the advertised rate will likely be less than $200,000, Stone said, probably around $165,000. Stone, answering a question from Council member Doug Adams, noted that the WCS tax rate could increase a few cents because of the Debt Service Fund increase. “I’m guessing it’s going to be pretty steady, actually,” Stone said. “The General Fund, which got cut the biggest, is the non-tax fund which comes from the state. Our budget will go down, but the tax rate will stay about the same.”

2015 hit-and-run perpetrator sentenced to three years By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Exactly one year after the incident, a Marion man has been convicted in connection to the 2015 hitand-run that ended Michael D. Leazenby’s life. Tim Shoemake, 34, was sentenced Monday, June 27, to three years in the Indiana Department of Corrections with six months suspended with probation. Shoemake’s license was also suspended for two and a half years. In 2015, Shoemake was involved in a June 27 hit-and-run accident that resulted in the death of Leazenby, a local Wabash man. According to the official police report, Leazenby’s body was found at approximate-

ly 7 a.m. on June 27 in the grassy area near AutoZone. However, police determined he was struck close to midnight while he walking home from work. On June 29, investigators determined by using surveillance footage from nearby establishments that the vehicle involved was a dark-colored, possibly red, 2000-2010 Ford F150, according to the probable cause affidavit. At approximately 6:40 p.m., Shoemake arrived at the Wabash Police Department and advised officers that he might have been involved with the accident. During Shoemake’s trial in May, Defense Attorney Bradley Johnson said there was no question that Leazenby was hit or that it was Shoemake’s vehicle.

SHOEMAKE

However, Shoemake was “zoned in” after driving from Gary to Wabash and believed he had struck a construction barrel, not a person, according to Johnson. Johnson argued for Shoemake to be found guilty of his charge, “a necessary element of knowledge should be part of that proof.” The jury disagreed and found Shoemake guilty on May 27.

Deadlines announced for 2016 USDA Farm Program participation From the USDA

Wabash County farmers with crops and landowners with ground enrolled in CRP (conservation reserve program) are being reminded that July 15, 2016, is the deadline to certify crops and conservation practices. Certification may still occur after the July 15 deadline with a $48 per farm late fee c h a r g e d . Certification is required to be eligible for potential program payments for the 2016 year. Farmers participating in the ARC/PLC program are reminded that August 1st

2016 is the deadline to sign 2016 contracts. Failure to meet the August 1st deadline

will result in producers not being eligible for potential 2016 program payments. Farmers and

landowners in Noble and Paw Paw townships will elect a representative to the Wabash County FSA County Committee in December 2016. Nomination forms are available at the local Wabash FSA office 599 Bryan Avenue. Nominations will be taken through August 1st for anyone

interested in serving. The elected representative will serve a three year term. For more information call 260-563-3145. Notice to wheat growers: Crop reporting requirements have changed. If you plant wheat this fall, you are required to certify the planting through your local FSA office by Dec. 15, 2016. Certification after this date may still occur but a $48.00 per farm late fee will be charged. Hay and pasture producers: New certi-

fication requirements mean you have to report all hay and pasture for 2017, by Nov. 15, 2016. Same rules apply for late filed certification with a $48 late fee being assessed. USDA has dramatically changed the Farm Storage Facility Loan program. Eligible equipment now includes both new and used. Micro loans less than $50,000.00 have new terms and lower interest rates. Many new items are available for potential loans including trucks, bulk tanks, and refrigerated buildings. If you are in need of equipment or buildings to assist you in your farming operation, these new FSFL program options may be of benefit to you. Call 260-563-3145 or stop by at 599 Bryan avenue for more information.

Sorority donates musical instruments By The Paper staff HUNTINGTON – Pathfinder Kids Kampus recently received a monetary donation from Phi Chapter Psi Iota Xi Sorority to purchase musical instruments for 3-5 year olds. The wooden instruments will enrich the lives of the children served at the child care center. The monetary donation was made possible thanks to Phi Chapter’s sponsorship of the annual Forks of the Wabash Pioneer Festival and from selling cheeseballs last November. The instruments pur-

chased include maracas, finger cymbals, and sand block instruments. The instruments are used in both small group and in large group at Pathfinder Kids Kampus. In small group the children might build a stage and use the instruments for their performances. In large group the children work together or in pairs to enhance the music activities. The educators at Pathfinder Kids Kampus also use the instruments during transitions from one activity to another so that the children can repeat a beat.

working on them diligently to improve; do not make excuses, instead accept that you are not perfect and mistakes happen; respond to stress and adversity with respect and good sportsmanship. Being professional relates to many different things, but starts with a mentality of doing the right thing (in this case to succeed in tennis with honor and character)

11

even when no one is watching you and there is a temptation to be unprofessional. My advice; be professional in all you do!” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week! PLEASE EMAIL YOUR NEWS AND INFORMATION TO: isaac.triplett@yahoo.c om, or call me at 260274-2261.

Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay torchbearer named By The Paper staff

Fifteen Wabash County residents were among the more than 2,000 people named to participate in the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay, Lt. Governor Eric Holcomb, Indiana Office of T o u r i s m Development (IOTD) Executive Director Mark Newman, Indiana Farmers Mutual Insurance President and CEO Kim Smith and Bicentennial Torch Relay State Director Noelle Szydlyk a n n o u n c e d Wednesday, June 29. “The 2,000 plus Hoosiers selected as torchbearers embody the Indiana traditions of service, civic pride, community involvement and volu n t e e r i s m , ” Holcomb said. “As we reflect on Indiana’s first two hundred years, it is only fitting that we cele-

brate Hoosiers who serve as inspirations in their communities.” Carrying the torch in Wabash County are: Michael Beauchamp, Brady Burgess, Jabin Burnworth, Jason Callahan, Jon Foor, Steve Ford, Sam Frazier, Jeff Hawkins, Sally Krouse, Clint Kugler, Mayor Scott Long, M a n c h e s t e r University President Dave McFadden, Mike Pyle and Natalie Unger. Chris Garber was named posthumously to the list. Local officials will name his replacement. Torchbearers were nominated by the public and selected by local committees on a county-by-county basis. More than 4,000 torchbearer nominations were received. Those selected are Hoosiers who demonstrate exceptional public service, excellence in

their profession, acts of heroism or volunteer service to their neighborhood, community, region or state.

Developed by IOTD, the Relay is patterned after the Olympic Torch Relay and is designed to connect Hoosiers

everywhere during the bicentennial year. The unifying nature of the torch relay underscores the achievement, influence and aspirations of Indiana and its people while symbolically passing the torch to future generations of Hoosiers. The torch relay route was charted by a committee of representatives from multiple state agencies and the private sector. The route showcases locations of natural beauty, local interest and historic significance. The Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay will start Friday, September 9, 2016 in Corydon, Indiana’s first state capital, and culminate with a celebration on Saturday, October 15, 2016 on the grounds of the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis. The torch relay will touch each of Indiana’s 92 counties during the

3,200-mile journey across the state. It is scheduled to be in Wabash County on Sept. 28. “Enthusiasm is building as the start of the torch relay approaches,” remarked IOTD’s Mark Newman. “Communities large and small are pulling out all the stops to honor their torchbearers and celebrate Indiana’s 200th birthday. Collectively, the over

2 , 0 0 0 torchbearers have had far reaching impact and all of Indiana should be proud.” In addition to the selected torchbearers, the relay will employ other modes of conveyance that are symbolic of the history and heritage of Indiana, including watercraft, farm equipment, race cars, horse and wagon, antique automobiles and others.

VIEWPOINT Conservation efforts provide win-win for natural resources, pollinators By Jane Hardisty

It’s finally summer and the sounds of nature are in full force. Waking up to birds chirping and listening to butterflies flapping and bees buzzing while enjoying the patio is something we’ve all been looking forward to since winter. But these animals are bringing more than just music to our ears – they’re also bringing food. It’s estimated that about three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on pollinators to reproduce. Some scientists estimate that one out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of pollinators like bees, butter-

flies and moths, birds and bats, and beetles and other insects. Unfortunately, pollinators are faced with many challenges in today’s modern world and we have seen a significant decline in these crucial species over the past several years. Habitat loss, disease, parasites, and environmental contaminants have all contributed to the decline of many species of pollinators. One species in particular, the Monarch butterfly, has decreased from more than 1 billion in 1995 to about 34 million today. Scientists attribute the decline of monarchs to the decrease in native plants like milkweed. Evidence of population declines has

prompted scientists and conservationists, alike, to encourage changes in ecosystem management. These once-common butterflies are growing less familiar and private lands will continue to play a crucial role in aiding the recovery of this species that serves as an indicator of ecosystem health. USDA’s Natural R e s o u r c e Conservation Service (NRCS) is just one of many agencies encouraging change by investing dollars in a 10-state targeted conservation effort to give owners and managers of private lands the tools they need to create and enhance habitat for monarch butterflies. With assistance from NRCS, producers and conservation part-

ners can increase critical populations of milkweed and nectarrich plants by establishing them along field borders, in buffers along waterways or around wetlands, in pastures and other suitable locations. And we know when landowners improve habitat for monarchs, they are also providing food and habitat for other essential pollinators, reducing erosion, increasing soil health, and inhibiting the expansion of invasive species. June 20-26 is National Pollinator week. As we celebrate pollinators throughout this week, I want to thank Indiana’s farm families for all you do to care for the land, improve the environ-

21

ment, and provide us safe and affordable food and fiber. I look forward to continuing to work together to provide better habitat for our pollinator friends! You are invited to learn more about the Natural Resources Conservation Service, conservation practices and pollinators. Stop by and talk with your District Conservationist or visit our website www.in.nrcs.usda.gov .

Southwood athlete signs letter of intent to play baseball at IWU By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com

Clay Hinrichsen, 2016 Southwood High School graduate, signed to play baseball with Indiana Wesleyan University and to study nursing. “[I decided to go to IWU] because I really like the coaching and staff and it’s a good nursing school,” said

Hinrichsen. Both of these aspects were important to him when looking at different colleges because he has always had a goal of both playing baseball in college and of majoring in nursing. “I’ve always wanted to do something in the medical field,” he said. “I want to work in a hospital [and be able to help people].”

Hinrichsen’s main sport has always been baseball and he was a pitcher and first baseman throughout his high school baseball career. He is going to continue to pitch and possibly still play first base in college. His goal when playing baseball at IWU is “to get better and do well”, while pursuing his ambitions. D u r i n g

Hinrichsen’s senior year, he pitched 31.1 innings and had 44 total strikeouts with an ERA of 1.56 and an opponent BA of .157. He was also Wabash County player of the year this year, received All Conference twice as a pitcher, and made first team all county three times throughout high school.

DNR proposes bird, waterfowl hunting season dates

From the DNR

The hunting season dates for waterfowl and other migratory birds, as proposed to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) by the Indiana DNR, are awaiting approval. The dates are not final unless approved by the USFWS in July. A later announcement will either confirm or amend these dates. Historically, they have been accepted as proposed.

Beginning this year, the federal regulatory cycle has been altered. Rather than two separate processes for early and late seasons, all migratory bird hunting seasons are selected together. The seasons are based on population and habitat data gathered the year before. Therefore, the 2016-17 hunting seasons are based on the same data used to set the 2015-16 seasons, and the biological data currently being collected will be used to set next year’s seasons. The DNR’s recommended dates for webless migratory game birds are: Mourning doves: Sept. 1 to Oct. 16, Nov.

1-13, and Dec. 10 to Jan. 8 Sora rails: Sept. 1 to Nov. 9 American woodcock: Oct. 15 to Nov. 28 Common snipe: Sept. 1 to Dec. 16. The daily bag limits for webless migratory birds are 15 mourning doves, 25 sora rails, three woodcock and eight snipe. Possession limits are three times the daily bag limits. The DNR’s recommended dates for ducks, coots and mergansers are: Early teal (blue- and green-winged only, statewide): Sept. 3-18. Regular waterfowl seasons: North Zone: Oct. 22 to Dec. 11, and Dec. 24 to Jan. 1 Central Zone: Oct. 29 to Nov. 6, and Nov. 19 to Jan. 8 South Zone: Oct. 29 to Nov. 6, and Nov. 26 to Jan. 15. The daily bag limit for ducks in all zones is six, including no more than four mallards (of which no more than two can be hens), three scaup, three wood ducks, two pintails, two redheads, two canvasbacks, one black duck and one mottled duck. The daily bag limit for coots is 15. The daily bag limit for mer-

gansers, separate from ducks, is five, of which no more than two can be hooded mergansers. The possession limit is three times the daily bag limit. For Canada geese, white-fronted geese, brant and light geese, the proposed dates are: North Zone: Sept. 311, Oct. 22 to Nov. 20, and Dec. 10 to Feb. 12 Central Zone: Sept. 3-11, Oct. 29 to Nov. 6, and Nov. 19 to Feb. 12 South Zone: Sept. 318, Oct. 29 to Nov. 6, and Nov. 26 to Feb. 12. The bag limit is five dark geese (Canada, white-fronted and brant in aggregate), no more than three of which can be Canada geese. The bag limit in September is five dark geese, all of which can be Canada geese. The possession limit is three times the daily bag limit. The daily bag limit for light geese (snow, blue and/or Ross’ geese) is 20, with no possession limit for light geese. The proposed light goose conservation order is Feb. 13 to March 31, statewide. The light goose conservation order has no bag or possession limit. A free permit is required. Details will be avail-

able later in the winter. The DNR’s recommended dates for youth waterfowl season are: North Zone: Oct. 1516 Central Zone: Oct. 22-23 South Zone: Oct. 2223. Bag and possession limits are the same as the regular seasons. The youth waterfowl season is open to youths age 15 and younger, accompanied by an adult. DNR’s recommended dates for extended falconry seasons are: Ducks, coots and mergansers: North Zone: Sept. 27-30, and Feb. 14 to March 10 Central Zone: Oct. 22-28, and Feb. 17 to March 10 South Zone: Oct. 2228, and Feb. 17 to March 10. American woodcock: Sept. 20 to Oct. 14, and Nov. 29 to Jan. 4 Mourning doves: Oct. 17-31 and Jan. 9-11 The bag limit is three migratory birds singly or in aggregate. The possession limit is nine migratory birds singly or in aggregate.

DNR launches new INHuntFish.com license system From the DNR Buying licenses online will be easier and more convenient for hunters, anglers and trappers thanks to a new system that the DNR will launch this week. The new system at INHuntFish.com requires customers 18 and older to create an online account. Customers can use the account to purchase their licenses, purchase or redeem gift certificates, acquire their Harvest Information Program (HIP) number, and make donations. Having information saved to an account makes purchasing future licenses much easier for yourself and for any children under age 18 that you list as an associate. If you’re already a DNR customer, use your Customer ID located on the top left of your license to log in.

The improvements include: — Free reprints of licenses. — The ability to save a license to your smartphone through the print feature. (Electronic copies of licenses are now valid.) — An option to print all valid licenses on one piece of paper, no matter when they were purchased. — The ability to view your active licenses and licenses that have expired in the last 30 days. — License options adjusted for your age, residency and hunter education status. — Quick links for hunting, fishing and trapping regulations, the Wild Bulletin enewsletter, and social media accounts for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. — A “shopping cart” feature that

(,(* (-,

*#. *+

,2+ "* , / 1 ,( ' " ,

allows you to see what you are buying. — Email receipts. The system accepts Visa, Mastercard and Discover. A future version will include the CheckIN Game feature that allows hunters to use computers and mobile devices to check in their harvest through their account. An access fee will offset the cost of the upgraded system. The fee is $1 per license, plus $1 and 2 percent of the total on each license. For example, if you use INHuntFish.com to purchase an annual resident fishing license, your cost would be $19.34 ($17 for the license, plus $1 for the license, plus $1.34). No fee is charged for donations, gift certificates, registering for HIP, or checking in game.

iors that mixes traditional bingo with intervals of band resistance, stretches and brief walking. The program has been implemented in 48 states and the Healthy Communities Institute recognized it as an evidence-based practice as well as a promising practice. Ongoing, twice

weekly participation with the program has shown improvements in balance, muscular strength and endurance in older adults in other communities where it is offered. Brian Clark, Manchester University student and Living Well intern, will lead the program through-

out the summer. Clark will utilize the Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale) to create a baseline for how participants perceive their ability to perform regular household tasks and assess their improvement in four weeks. Living Well’s Winchester Center

offers programming designed to meet the seven dimensions of wellness: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, occupational and environmental. Bingocize fits into physical and social dimensions while the intellectual aspect is met by learning more about health and well-

Exhibit examines Indiana centennial By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER – The pageantry and spectacle surrounding Indiana’s 1916 statehood centennial is examined in the Indiana Historical Society exhibition, “The Hoosier Centennial: A Look Back at the 1916 Celebration.” The exhibit runs from July 13 through Aug. 18, at The North Manchester Center for History, 122 E. Main St., North Manchester. It was brought here as part of North Manchester’s celebration of Indiana’s 2016 Bicentennial. The exhibition was part of the Indiana Historical Society’s effort to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Hoosier statehood, which was celebrated in 1991. Indiana became the 19th state

on Dec. 11, 1816. The statewide centennial celebration in 1916 would prove to have a lasting effect on Indiana, including the establishment of the first state parks, the production of lavish historical pageants and steps toward an improved road system. The agency responsible for coordinating the centennial celebration was the Indiana Historical Commission. Backed by a $25,000 appropriation from the General Assembly – the first significant state funds in support of Indiana history – the ninemember commission went on to produce an array of programs to mark the state’s 100th birthday, including: Producing a sevenreel film titled “Indiana.” The film featured James

Whitcomb Riley relating the story of the state’s development. Issuing and selling to the public a special centennial medal designed by Terre Haute artist Janet Scudder. Helping coordinate a series of community-sponsored historical pageants in 45 Indiana counties. These performances were seen by an estimated 250,000 people. Inviting President Woodrow Wilson to appear in Indianapolis as part of activities for Centennial Highway Day.

Wabash Marketplace takes over Bedford and Bradley buildings By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Bedford and Bradley buildings are now under new management and could be possibly repurposed for low-income housing, according to Steve Downs, Wabash Marketplace Inc. (WMI) executive director. WMI purchased the two buildings after the previous owner, Julie Locke, a California resident, decided to sell them earlier this year, Downs told The Paper of Wabash County on Tuesday, June 28. “She had hopes that she could rehabilitate the buildings and she just finally decided that she couldn’t do that,” he said. The option to purchase the buildings was brought to the WMI Board of Directors earlier this year in either February or March, according to Downs. “(We) advised the board at that time that we had been approached by the present owner of the buildings,” he explained, “and she had determined that she didn’t think that she was going to be able to rehabilitate the buildings and was probably going to list them for sale … and I was able to come to an agreement with her to purchase the buildings.” The Bedford building, located on South Wabash Street, and the Bradley building, located on the southeast corner of South Wabash

and West Canal streets, have both been severely neglected, he continued. “We’re concerned that they’re going to collapse or deteriorate further so Marketplace stepped up to try to do something about it, which is its primary mission to save and rehabilitate downtown properties,” Downs said. Currently, WMI is looking at various methods to fund the buildings’ rehabilitation costs, including repurposing the upper sections of the buildings to offer low-income housing. However, no official plans have been determined yet. “Right now (affordable housing) appears the most feasible for us, provides the best potential for us, but no final decision’s been made on how far we’ll get or whether or not we’ll do affordable housing or market-rate housing or exactly what we’ll do with the buildings,” Downs said. Although the decision has yet to be made, rudimentary design plans have been made, Downs said. According to those plans, the Bradley building would provide for two commercial spaces in the lower section and 11 apartments in the upper section while the Bedford building would offer one to two commercial spaces with four to six apartments above, he continued. “Now that would be for affordable housing.

There would be fewer apartments if we went market rate,” Downs explained. At the organization’s Tuesday meeting, WMI amended its articles of incorporation to include affordable housing “to open up the opportunities for various grants and qualifying for certain tax accredit programs,” he continued. “If we decided to go with affordable housing, we needed our bylaws of incorporation to contain that purpose,” he explained. “Part of the Marketplace strategic plan is to work with the city to come up with a comprehensive housing plan for better housing in the area, though not necessarily affordable housing, which some people are not wild about, but at least a comprehensive housing plan. “There’s been a shortage of all kinds of housing in Wabash for a long time,” he continued, “and we need to address that if our population is going to grow.” WMI’s main emphasis for the two buildings is to save them and “then to improve the downtown economically and aesthetically,” Downs said. “So affordable housing is really a means to the end, more of a means of how do we raise the money to make the improvements to keep them or save them,” he explained. “What we’re talking about really is if we

choose affordable housing (option), we qualify for certain grants that the federal government and state government will give us and certain tax credits that we can use to raise money and pour back into the buildings to hopefully secure them.”

County man takes part in Honor Flight By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Duane Truss has made numerous trips to Washington, D.C., in his lifetime. Perhaps the most recent one he took – on May 25 – will be his most memorable. Truss, a U.S. Army veteran, was among the 80-plus vets from around Northeast

Indiana to take the latest Honor Flight to the nation’s capitol. “I was on the waiting list for about four years,” Truss told The Paper of Wabash County. “I’m considered a Korean War veteran and they wanted all the World War II veterans first. They’ve gotten down to the place where (veterans of other wars

O & H ASPHALT PAVING 877-240-8123 or 260-446-9686 • Overlays • Free Estimates • Commercial & Residential • New or Existing Driveway

could attend). “I think there was one veteran from Vietnam.” Truss was accompanied by his youngest son, Sam, took the journey from Fort Wayne International Airport to D.C. Sam served as his father’s caregiver. “I was physically fit enough that I really didn’t need anybody,” the elder Truss said, “but my youngest son, Sam, went along. You have to have a caregiver to go along.” The younger Truss is also an Army veteran, having been stationed in Germany where he was a fuel provider for a helicopter unit. “Helicopters would come in and hover above and he would crawl up and fuel them while they were hovering,” his father explained. One thing that will stick out to Duane Truss is the people he met along the way. “It was a great experience,” he said. “The people were

great. We were welcomed by I don’t know how many hundreds of people in Washington. “Everyone wanted to shake your hand.” In Washington, the group visited the World War II Memorial, as well as the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial and the Korean War Memorial. “We went to all the military memorials that are in Washington, D.C.,” Truss said, noting the group had a meal at the Air Force Memorial located in Arlington, Va., near the Pentagon. The group also witnessed the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. Travel around D.C. was made easy, thanks in part to a police escort that accompanied the four buses of Indiana veterans. “The police escorted us everywhere we went,” Truss said. “They would go ahead, and we had a squad car right next to us. They’d block the crosswalk and we pulled right on through. “Get got to see a lot of things in a short time.” After arriving back in Fort Wayne, the group was again greeted by hundreds of people. “I don’t know how many hundred there was,” Truss said. “There were people inside the terminal, outside the terminal, in the parking lot, clear across into the main parking area. “There were some people that knew me, too.” Many of those in Fort Wayne gave the returning veterans presents. “I got a big pillow, balloon, cookies and

Duane Truss (right) and his son, Sam, stand by the Indiana pillar at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Photo provided other goodies,” he said. Perhaps the best gift came while on the return flight to Fort Wayne. “They requested cards, letters and stuff to be sent in (for the veterans),” Truss said. “They had a mail call on the way home. I got a whole big envelope.” While Truss is considered a Korean War veteran, he actually began his duty in Occupied Germany following World War II. He is still actively involved in veteran affairs. Truss is currently Senior Vice Commander and the

Wabash Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No.286. He served as post commander for 20 years, and another three years as the Fifth District commander. “I’ve held a lot of national appointments, too,” Truss said. “My national appointment right now is VAVS (Veteran Affairs Volunteer Service). I am the volunteer service board member for the Marion VA Hospital. “I work down there every Thursday. My wife, Bonnie, works in the volunteer office, stuffing envelopes and such. I usher the guys

around; push them in their wheelchairs to occupational therapy, physical therapy and some of the other activities they need to go to.” In the meantime, Truss is still reflecting on his Honor Flight, a special one in that it was the twentieth such flight from Northeast Indiana, and the last one before founder Laura Carrico retires. “It was quite an honor,” Truss said. “The crowd was really outstanding. You didn’t expect that. It made you feel good. “It’s been a great life.”

Renovations on the lot, which once housed the Mammoth building, began Tuesday, June 28, but the project has been in development for quite some time, according to Shelby McLaughlin, Wabash Marketplace Inc. project manager. “I’m really excited about Mammoth lot,” McLaughlin told The Paper of Wabash County in a phone interview. “That is something I know (the) Public Art (Committee) has been trying to work on for a while to get the funding to do something cool there and Deluxe graciously decided to pick that project up.” In May, Wabash won the Deluxe Corporation’s Small Business Revolution competition and a $500,000 revitalization to the downtown area. However, since winning, representatives from the Minnesotabased company have worked with local

A new garden patio is under construction in the lot that once housed the Mammoth building at the corner of Canal and South Wabash streets. The patio will be open to the public and include seating, garden boxes, umbrellas for shade and a trash can. Photo by Emma Rausch community leaders and business owners to utilize the award to provide strategic marketing plans and advice, which was determined to be more essential to helping the Wabash community. Nevertheless, “Christine Flohr and I have been working hard with Deluxe to figure out aesthetic projects for downtown donated by Deluxe,” McLaughlin said. The patio will be a public space with seating, umbrellas for shade and “beautiful” garden boxes, she continued. Eventually, WMI hopes that it’ll be the new home for all of the donor bricks found in downtown Wabash, according to McLaughlin.

“The city has decided to do stamp bricks downtown and we just want a safe home for all of those bricks that have been purchased by donors and I think that’s the safest bet,” she explained. “Salt is a huge deterioration (factor) for those bricks and if they were in a park kind of like that, we wouldn’t be salting it. So that would be nice to get those bricks to last as long as possible.” As of right now, she continued, the plain bricks will be laid to complete the lot. “(The patio will) be done in two weeks,” she said during the interview on Wednesday, June 29. “Other projects will start in the next six to eight weeks … but there’s going to be

really cool aesthetic projects going on.” However, when asked about what other projects Deluxe has in store for Wabash, McLaughlin said much of the details are under lock and key. “I don’t want to give away too much. I want people to get excited,” she explained. The projects will involve Canal and Market alley as well as several businesses receiving “cool” signage among other things, she said. “Just keep a lookout in the next six to eight weeks as construction continues to happen,” McLaughlin advised. “There’s a lot of good things going on downtown and we’re so thankful from the bot-

North Miami FFA attend leadership camp Article provided DENVER — The North Miami FFA had its annual Greenhand leadership camp on June 3-4 at the Indiana FFA Leadership Center located in Trafalgar. North Miami had six incoming freshman participate along with a senior who will be joining FFA in the fall. The chapter officers also

New law governs traffic accidents From the Indiana State Police

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

INDIANAPOLIS - A law that had been on the Indiana books as a misdemeanor, and was inadvertently removed, has been reinstated as a class “C” infraction. Beginning July 1, IC 9-26-1-1.2 is added to the Indiana Code as a new section and states, “If, after an operator of a motor vehicle is involved in an accident, the operator’s motor vehicle comes to a stop in the traveled portion of the highway, the operator shall, as soon as safely possible, move the motor vehicle off the traveled portion of the highway and to a location as close to the accident as possible. However, the operator of the motor vehicle shall not move the motor vehicle if the

accident involves the transportation of hazardous materials or results in the injury or death of a person or the entrapment of a person in a vehicle.” The previous law only applied to interstate highways. The reinstated law applies to all government maintained roadways. The intent of the law is to safely remove traffic hazards from the roadway so as to reduce secondary crashes, especially on multi lane highways, that are often more severe and result in more injuries than the original crash. Also, this law ensures that motorists have statutory backing when they move their vehicles. Many times insurance companies tell their clients not to move their vehicle after it has been involved in a crash, even if it’s only

a property damage crash, until law enforcement arrives. Information from IN-Time, Indiana’s Traffic Incident Management Effort, states that for every minute that a freeway travel is blocked during a peak travel period, four minutes of travel delay results after the incident is cleared. Their statistics reveal the following: Crashes that result from other incidents (secondary) are estimated to be 22% of all crashes. Chances of a secondary crash increase by 2.8% for each minute the primary incident is not cleared. 18 percent of secondary crashes result in fatal injuries. In 2008, 21 percent of Indiana’s crashes showed vehicles “slowed or stopped” in

traffic. Past records indicate neither a ticket nor arrest was issued while the law was a misdemeanor and authorities do not anticipate tickets being issued under the reinstated law, except in rare circumstances. “Our intent is to educate the public that if they are involved in a property damage crash, they have a statutory requirement to remove their vehicles from the roadway,” stated Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter. “The Indiana State Police will utilize traditional media and social media to inform the public of this reinstated law which is designed to remove hazards and keep traffic moving safely on Indiana highways.”

because they have the opportunity to try a variety of new foods in a single day or weekend without having to travel far and wide. Festival season also tends to be familyfriendly, providing families with numerous chances to spend quality time together. Festival season is even

more enjoyable when parents take the time to plan their visits so their Saturday or Sunday afternoons at festivals go as smoothly as possible. · Do your homework. Festivals tend to offer an array of entertainment and cuisine, and that can be a lot to digest all at once.

Parents can ensure they get everything they want out of a festival by studying the festival schedule and offerings ahead of time rather than arriving and trying to take in everything at once. · Bring supplies. Conditions can be unpleasant during summer festival season, when rising temperatures and long lines can try families' patience. Bring enough sunscreen to ensure no one gets sunburned, and explore the festival guidelines in advance to determine what you can bring onto the festival grounds. If it's permissable to bring water onto the grounds, bring enough to keep everyone hydrated. In addition, bring hats and sunglasses as well as bug spray to keep potentially pesky insects at bay. · Explore transportation options. Festivals can attract considerable crowds, and families who want to avoid being stuck in traffic should explore their options with regard to getting to and from the festivals they plan to visit. Use public transportation where available. Public transportation can help families avoid potentially costly parking fees and relieve parents of the stress of navigating traffic jams. If public transportation is not available, look for free or low-cost parking lots in the vicinity of the festival. · Consider the viability of strollers. Parents who typically transport their tots in strollers may want to reconsider taking strollers to summer festivals. Large crowds can be difficult to negotiate with strollers in tow, and parents may find strollers more frustrating than functional at popular festivals. If you must bring a stroller, leave the large jogging stroller at home in favor of a compact stroller that's comfortable for kids and easy to push through crowds. Summer festival season tends to be family-friendly, and parents can take certain steps to ensure the coming festival season is even more enjoyable.

Wellbrooke car show dunks mayor for good cause By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wellbrooke of Wabash put Mayor Scott Long in the dunk tank Saturday, June 18, as one of the main attractions at the Wabash Dunk and Car Show. This year, the event raised funds for the City of Wabash allinclusive park project, which will create a playground that will allow children of all ability levels to play side-by-side. “Wellbrooke does this car show annually and they pick a charity to give the money to,” Long told The Paper of Wabash County. “I’m on the

Wellbrooke advisory board and … I was at one of the meetings talking to Maia Brainard (Wellbrooke marketing director) and I said, ‘You know we’re trying to raise money for the allinclusive playground,’ and then she came up with the idea of all the proceeds from this (event) going to that.” Long joined Wabash City Fire Chief Barry Stroup and Police Chief Matthew Bruss along with several Wellbrooke employees in the tank as one of the event’s activities. The car show, which featured 35 cars of various makes and models, raised

$965 for the $1.7 million project. “I think phase one’s cost is slated at $1.2 million,” he said. “Mayor (Robert) Va n l a n d i n g h a m appropriated $200,000 toward that at the end of last year and we’ve used some of that money so far for design and engineering on the playground.” The playground is planned to be built in the field next to the Wabash County YMCA and beside the skate park. Through City funding and Stellar projects, the all-inclusive park fund is up $400,000 and every donation helps, according to Long.

“We’ve still got a long way to go, but events like this will publicize what we’re trying to do and hopefully we’ll get more donations that way,” he said. “We’re going to try to show the (park’s) design to as many people in the public as we can and the thing about this playground is it’s an all-inclusive playground. “It’ll allow kids who are physically challenged to play with not only kids of their own age, but also their grandparents can take them down to the park and be able to participate in some of those activities with their grandkids also.”

Photo by Emma Rausch The project’s plans include adding climbing blocks, a roller table, a double-twist hill slide and climbing pearls as just a few play equipment options at the park.

“This is something that we want to see the entire community get behind and support it,” Long said. “They can make a donation of $5 and that will go a long

way.” To learn more about the all-inclusive park or to donate, visit morethanaplayground.com.

NM Historical Society launches bicentennial, genealogy project By The Paper staff The North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society (NMHS) is launching a crowd-sourced family tree of North Manchester and Wabash County after being inspired by I n d i a n a ’ s Bicentennial. The organization has wanted to offer beginners an introduction to genealogy for some time, and this is a fun way to do so. By helping create a community family tree, NMHS, in collaboration with the North Manchester Public Library, also hopes to create a deeper sense of community connection and pride. The project has been registered as an official Indiana Bicentennial Legacy Project. “The crowd sourced genealogy project is near to our hearts because it is such a great way to build community,” NMHS President Mary Chrastil said. “Everyone and anyone living in Wabash County in 2016 is invited to participate. The project has a multi-g enerational

appeal — we hope children, parents and grandparents will work together to fill out a family tree for each member.” The hope is that by using crowd sourcing the NMHS will learn new skills, and remind the community that history is connected to today, not just to the past, according to NMHS representatives. NMHS hopes to attract some groups that aren’t always included in community projects as well as school children, youth groups, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, university students and retirement community members. All are welcome to participate. Those wishing to participate in project are asked to fill out family tree form that will go back five generations. The form can be returned to the Center for History or the NM Public Library. “Some people can go back for hundreds of years,” Chrastil said. “If people can only go back two or three generations, that’s fine—turn in the family tree anyway.”

The NMHS will create a hard copy database of Wabash County families and a searchable electronic data base that will cross reference the information collected. NMHS will not require documentation on each submission, recognizing that some discrepancies can occur, but also noting that huge databases like Ancestry.com can also be prone to error. NMHS already holds many family records and documents, which are available to researchers who want information about their family history. The crowd sourced genealogy project will greatly increase their ability to provide information. Along with the family tree form, participants can receive instructions on how to begin, a list of online resources and information on having DNA tested. The NM Public Library can provide assistance in using Ancestry.com. Basic genealogy assistance is available at the Center for History. Finally, one offshoot of the genealogy project is to create

and display a timeline showing when people’s first family members moved to Wabash County. A person may be that first family member to live in the county or the family may go back to the early 1800s. The NMHS would like to add all interested individuals to the timeline, even if a person does not wish to fill out a family tree form. The timeline will be displayed in the front

window of the Center for History. The project wants to assist individuals interested in learning more about their family histories to take the first steps in such research. There are many well-developed resources that are already available for in-depth research. For example, the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne is recognized nationally as one of the premier genealogy research institu-

tions in the United States. Those wishing to participate in the project and research their family trees may also use the North Manchester Public L i b r a r y ’ s Ancestry.com software. The software is an expanded version of Ancestry.com that gives access to military records, newspapers, public member trees, birth, marriage and death records, immigration records, and much more.

Librarian Amy Acree will present a free workshop on using Ancestry.com in the Blocher Room of the library at 7:00 p.m. on July 19.

Local hog farm expands facility, becomes 4000-head site By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

NORTH MANCHESTER - River Bend Farms celebrated the completion of its new wean-to-finish barn with a ceremonious ribbon cutting on Friday, July 1. Owner Mark York with his wife, Chris, commemorated the opening of Barn II by allowing members of the public inside to tour the facility

before the swine were moved in on Tuesday, July 5. “We wanted to open our doors so that people can see what we actually are doing in these facilities,” York told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s transparent to show the actual gating that’s in the barn, the actual ventilation that’s in the barn, the feed system or quality of feed that the pigs are going to be eating, how clean the pigs are

actually going to be over the slats. We’re essentially making an investment in the pigs as they come in.” Allowing the public into a swine facility is rare, but important, York explained. “People think we just mash pigs into a barn,” he said, “and, in fact, we’re actually spending more than most people spend on their pets, because this is about $350 per pig space to build (Barn II) where as a dog house is about $250 or less. “We’re making a sizable investment to take care of these pigs.” Driving by swine farms, it is common to see “Keep Out” or “No Entry” signage, he continued, but it is not because the farmers are trying to hide their practices. “Due to biosecurity, we have to protect the pigs from the people, not the people from the pigs,” York explained. “This

(open house) is a rare event in that we can get people in and see what these barns look like and not put any pigs at jeopardy. “We’re not trying to hide anything (by displaying signage). We’re trying to protect the livelihood and total life of the pigs.” With the addition of Barn II, the North Manchester farm added six employees to care for the swine and created 700 manure easement deeds to provide local farmers with organic fertilizer. “Grain farmers around this facility welcomed it and there was actually a waiting list for the manure,” York said. The new facility will be approximately 200 feet from York’s original barn and house swine provided by Bob Dykhuis, of Holland, Mich. “We’ve raise for (Dykhuis) for six years and we asked them if they wanted

to expand and they jumped at the chance,” York said. With this expansion, River Bend Farms will become a 4,000-head site and provide protein to approximately 135,000 people a year, according to York.

“And I’ve got the math to back that up,” York said. “(For two people), we consume about 50 pounds of pork per year. So if you take the pig at 300 pounds, you lose about 25 percent to about bones and hair and hide and so we

would get about 200 pounds of yieldable meat or protein and that would feed about four people a year. “So you take four people times the total head count and that’s how we come up with 135,000 people.”

Keep cool in the face of summer heat The month of August is often referred to as "the dog days of summer," a phrase that can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. The "dog days" are a reference to the dog star, Sirius, which appeared to rise just before the sun in late July, when temperatures were at their hottest. As a result, the phrase "dog days" remains synonymous with summer heat in the N o r t h e r n Hemisphere. Keeping cool during the dog days of summer can be difficult, especially for people who live in humid climates. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, heat is the leading weather-related killer in the United States, with the National Vital Statistics System reporting a total of more than 7,400 deaths between 1999 and 2010. Many of those deaths could have been prevented had people taken steps to keep cool in the face of summer heat. · Choose wisely when spending time outdoors. As hot as summer can be, many people still want to enjoy some time outdoors. You don't have to spend summer indoors to survive the summer heat, but it helps to choose the time you spend outdoors wisely. Avoid spending time outdoors between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Temperatures soar and peak during these hours, and the American Melanoma Foundation notes that UV radiation reaches its peak intensity at approximately 1 p.m. The more intense that UV radiation is, the more susceptible people are to UV-related sun damage to their

skin. If you prefer to exercise outdoors during the summer, do so in the early morning or in the evening, when temperatures tend to be lower and UV radiation is less of a threat. · Limit time spent outside. It's okay to spend time outside in the summer, just make sure you are not outside for extended periods of time on hot days. Exposure to sustained heat can adversely affect the body's ability to sweat. Sweat might be uncomfortable, but it helps to regulate body temperature by cooling the body. People who cannot sweat or suddenly stop perspiring can succumb to heat exhaustion or heat stroke very quickly. If you must spend time outdoors on hot days, take periodic breaks to go indoors, heading inside immediately if you realize your body is no longer producing sweat. · Stay hydrated. Come the dog days of summer, keep a water bottle with you at all times, refilling it throughout the day as necessary. The American Heart Association notes that the heart can more

easily pump blood through blood vessels to the muscles when it is hydrated. That means the heart isn't working as hard as it would have to if you were not staying h y d r a t e d . Dehydration reduces the body's ability to sweat and maintain a normal body temperature, so stay hydrated on hot days by drinking water throughout the day. · Make cool dietary choices. When planning meals on hot days, choose light foods and opt for small portions so you aren't fighting feelings of sluggishness that can compound any heat-related feelings of listlessness you're already coping with. In addition, choose meals that don't require you to turn on the oven. Hot ovens can make homes, even those with fully functioning air conditioning systems, far less comfortable on especially hot days. The dog days of summer are often marked by humidity and blazing sun. Overcoming those factors may require altering certain habits. TF168329
