Goff becomes state’s 110th justice

County native receives robe in Indy ceremony By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com INDIANAPOLIS – In a morning filled with pomp and circumstance Friday, Sept. 1, Wabash County resident Christopher M. Goff became the 110th Justice on the Indiana Supreme Court. Goff received the ceremonial oath of office from Gov. Eric Holcomb, who named him to the post in June. He then received his robe from Wabash Circuit Court Judge Robert McCallen III. Throughout the ceremony, many heaped praise on Goff and his career, both as a lawyer in Huntington County and as Wabash Superior Court judge, a post he held for 12 years. There were many laughs and some tears during the hour-long ceremony in the Indiana Supreme Court Chambers at the Indiana Statehouse. Holcomb called Friday “a special day in the state’s history.” “It’s a happy day,” he continued. “It’s a proud day. And as few have detected already, it’s an emotional day for many of us.” Holcomb said that there are few decisions he must make as governor that have as lasting impact on the state than choosing an Indiana Supreme Court justice. “We had a number of over-qualified

Parkview Wabash nurses strive for certification By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

More than 30 percent of the nurses at

Parkview Wabash Hospital have received certification, and that number is expected to grow. Certification is the formal process by

which a certifying agency, such as American nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), validates a nurse’s knowledge, skills and abilities in a defined role and clinical area of practice, based on predetermined standards, according to Cathy Wolfe, Vice President of Patient Care Services at Parkview Wabash. “Certified nurses are nurses who have worked in a particular area for a number of years and test in that particular discipline to show they are competent in that area,” she said. “For example, the E m e r g e n c y Department would take a test on emergency nursing. Oncology would take it on some form of oncology. There are several forms of oncology you can get. “There are all kinds of different agencies that do this certification, so it’s hard to get a number on how many, what percentages we have here, just because there are so many different agencies that track.” While it is hard to track, Wolfe said, in her 30 years of nursing experience, “this is the highest number of certifications that I’ve experienced. I’ve worked from Michigan to Alaska to

Miller, Emily Jones, Cathy Wolfe, Tara Engel, Laurie McCullers and Alison Pershing celebrate the Parkview Health’s recognition as a Magnet facility. Photo provided Montana, and by far we’ve never had 31 percent of our nurses certified. “We have more that are studying to test for their certified area in the fall, so that number should increase.” Certification, she noted, is an indicator of quality that attracts patients. “In other fields, consumers seek out certified professionals when they need a variety of services,” Wolfe said, “and public awareness of the value of nurse certification is growing. It is an important indicator to patients that nurses are qualified and experienced, and have met rigorous requirements to

achieve the additional credential of a specialty certification. “Patients and families expect knowledgeable caregivers at the bedside and certification offers them reassurance of their nurses’ competence.” In addition to certification, there is now a push in the healthcare industry for greater education for nurses. “In the past, a nurse had an option to go for a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing, or an Associate’s Degree,” Wolfe said. “In some rural communities, most of the nurses went for an Associate’s Degree because they could

get that education within their smaller community. But now there’s a push for higher education, because both certification and education increase positive patient outcome. “They get better care, higher quality care with those two items within their ‘toolbox,’ if you will.” Parkview Wabash has a large number of b a ch e l o r- p re p a re d nurses, Wolfe noted. “We have 58 percent

of our nurses with bachelor’s degree,” she said. “We have 11 that are in the process of obtaining their bachelor’s degree and should graduate within the next two years.” In 2010, Wolfe explained, an industry-wide report suggested that 80 percent of nurses at bedside should have a bachelor’s degree by 2020. “That’s because evi(continued on page 3)

Parkview Wabash nurses strive for certification ...continued from page 2 dence has shown that there’s better patient outcome from that,” she said. “That’s what we want for here, as well.” Parkview Wabash have 63 nurses assigned directly to the facility, with others assigned to doctors’ offices around the community. Whether the nurse has a bachelor’s degree or an associate’s degree, the nursing student receives the same type of clinical training. “They get the same amount of clinical

time,” Wolfe said. “But the bachelor’s prepared gets a lot of theory behind what they’re doing, so they can understand a lot of the whys of what they’re doing, and what the outcomes are.” The push toward having nurses with bachelor’s degrees shouldn’t be seen as an affront to those with associate’s degrees. “There are a lot of nurses (with associate’s degrees), and they’re great nurses,”

Wolfe said. “We have some who are 20-year, two-year degree nurses. But it’s those bachelor’s prepared that understand the patient outcome and what we strive for.” Recently, hospitals in the Parkview Health system received Magnet recognition. The designation is granted by the ANCC Magnet R e c o g n i t i o n Program, and ensures that rigorous standards for nursing are met. Susan Chapman-

Roesner, Parkview Wabash’s Community & Media Relations Specialist, believes part of the reason for the designation is because of Parkview’s efforts to have certified nurses, as well as those with bachelor’s degrees. Of the more than 6,300 hospitals across the U.S., only 467 of them – or 7 percent – have achieved the designation. To achieve Magnet recognition, organizations must pass a rigorous and lengthy

review process that demands widespread participation from care providers and coworkers at each hospital. The process includes an electronic application, written patient care documentation, on-site visits to each hospital and a review by the Commission on Magnet Recognition. Wolfe agrees, noting, “the Magnet recognition that Parkview Health Systems has, one of the goals is to obtain certification and the

bachelor prepared nurses. That is part of their requirement. “With that desire to become a Magnet facility, the nurses said ‘This is some-

thing that is great for us, but more importantly for our patients.’ It gives them better knowledge and expertise in their area.

MSD Board approves advertising 2018 budget By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The MSD of Wabash County Board of Education will be advertising its 2018 budget following a unanimous vote Tuesday night, Aug. 22. The board began budget discusses in July. At Tuesday night’s meeting, Kuhn informed the board that the 2018 budget will be advertised at $26,352,336 with an assessed value of $623,684,399. For 2017, the advertised assessed value was $652,215,425 while the actual was $733,746,352. “Assessed value is what drives our tax rate and ultimately determines the amount of money that we’re going to collect in our tax levy,” Kuhn explained, later adding, “Because we can’t control what the AV is, when we estimate our assessed values, we estimate them low, which obviously shows a higher tax

rate, but if our AV turns out to be higher then that obviously is going to make the tax rate much lower. “We’ve had a good district of a low tax rate compared to other schools and part of that I think is because we only ask for what we need and we also have a pretty decent assessed value for a corporation.” The corporation’s 2018 funds will be advertised as follows: • Rainy Day Fund: $730,000 • General Fund: $15,634,900 • Debt Service: $2,740,094 • School Pension Debt: $202,068 • Capital Projects Fund: $4,699,929 • Transportation Fund: $1,878,900 • Bus Replacement Fund: $66,445 For the Debt Service, School Pension Debt, Capital P r o j e c t s , Transportation and Bus Replacement funds, a $9,225,537 levy will have to be raised, Kuhn advised. The 2017 certified tax levy is $6,290,407, according to the cor-

poration’s budget notice. MSD of Wabash County budget public hearing will take place at the school board’s next meeting Tuesday, Sept. 12, at 6:30 p.m. The adoption meeting has been set for Sept. 26. Following its adoption, the budget will be sent to the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance, which will decide the corporation’s official funding for 2018 “As you know, school finance can be very confusing,” Kuhn told The Paper of Wabash County in a follow-up email. “The DLGF will take this information and look at what we are asking to spend and compare it with the revenues and levies we potentially get and determine our appropriations (or what we are allowed to spend). They tell us in our budget order what our appropriations are. “We know that those will get reduced [from what was adopted by the board]. Just because they are reduced doesn’t mean

that our actual dollars are getting reduced, just what we are allowed to spend.” The MSD of Wabash County budget notice can be viewed at budgetnotices.in.gov.

Goff becomes state’s 110th justice ...continued from the front page candidates step forward,” the governor said. “They were people of brilliant legal minds. “As name after name came forward, one name kept jumping to the top, and that was Christopher Goff.” Goff will replace Justice Robert Rucker, who retired in May. The governor said that Goff will have “big shoes to fill” as Rucker was admired in legal circles not only in Indiana, but around the country. “So, no pressure,” Holcomb joked. Wabash attorney Mark Guenin, representing the Wabash County Bar Association, introduced Goff to the chamber, which was filled to capacity with some 200 people, and another 100 people watching remotely from the Indiana House of Representatives chamber. Goff “redefined the court’s role” while serving as Superior Court judge, Guenin said. “Judge Goff envisioned more, executed more, accomplished more,” he said, noting that over time, others began to share his

Because of him, our communities, our people, became better, became stronger.” He noted that Goff sought advice from many in the legal system as to whether to remain in Wabash County or to seek the justice’s post. “Governor Holcomb, in selecting Justice Goff, demonstrated the vision that our courts should see Indiana citizens as people, not as problems,” Guenin said. By graduating from a small, rural high school, Goff has proven to other students “throughout our state, that there is a future in Indiana, and that future can be good.”

However, Guenin did jokingly note that Goff has one questionable characteristic. That is, in December, he competes in a 50K ultramarathon along Indiana trail ways. “Key points,” Guenin said, “(he) runs a marathon in December, 50K on trails. Please note here, in Indiana we have perfectly good roads, and they’re actually getting better. We have four seasons, so you don’t have to wait and schedule a run in December. “And, if you noticed, Judge, the starting line of the marathon is very near the finish line. You do not have to run 30 miles to get there.” The other four justices also spoke about the court’s newest

member. Justice Steven David, who mentored Goff during the last month, said his fellow justice “didn’t just hit the ground running. He hit the ground sprinting, and has already contributed much to the court.” He went on to call Goff, “a small-town lawyer with a big-time commitment.” He jokingly said that Goff has introduced to the court the sport of hockey, noting “the majority of this court does not understand hockey, nor care about hockey.” Goff, during a brief speech following his receiving his judicial robe, praised Rucker, saying he learned much from him during law school, having

taken a course presented by the now retired justice. He thanked his family for sticking by his side during the long selection process, as well as various Wabash County officials for urging him to seek the post. Goff also spoke highly of his wife’s father, who was born in Durango, Mexico, and became a naturalized citizen. Along the way, he noted, he worked as a migrant field worker and, at times, had to cut up pieces of tires and tie them to his feet because he couldn’t afford shoes. However, Goff continued, that didn’t stop his father-in-law from retiring from General Motors and raising a family of 11 children, nine of whom were in the audience Friday. Also present were Goff ’s wife, their children and grandchild, and his two sisters and their families. Also present were four retired Indiana Supreme Court justices, as well as the judges from the Indiana Court of Appeals and Indiana Tax Court, as well as several federal judges. A strong contingent of Wabash County officials also were present, prompting Indiana Chief Justice Loretta Rush to wonder how any government work was getting done in Wabash County, with most officials at the ceremony. Before ordering the court clerk to rap the ceremony closed, Rush had one piece of advice for not only Goff, but the other three justices, as well. “There’s just one thing left to say,” Rush said, noting there are numerous cases on the docket. “So it’s time to go back to work.”

USS Indiana crew meets local residents ...continued from the front page Torpedoman’s Mate Petty Officer Third Class Brandon Hernandez, Sonar Technician Petty Officer Third Class James Dickers and E l e c t r o n i c s Technician Seaman Hassan Corley-Perry. The event was one in a series to introduce Hoosiers to the crew of the USS Indiana and vice versa, according to Ray Shearer, chairman of the U.S.S. I n d i a n a Commissioning Committee. Shearer and Wabash attorney Doug Lehman, a retired Navy captain who also serves on the committee, welcomed the crewmen and attending locals. The committee planned the series as a means to connect Indiana residents with the men serving on their state’s namesake ship, building a lasting relationship between the two groups, according to Shearer. “The Navy likes to do these things called ‘Namesake Visits’ and bring sailors out to the state,” Shearer told the crowd Friday morning. “We get to go around different communities and not only for Hoosiers to get to know them but they get to know their namesake and kind of take on a persona of Hoosier values and that good ole Hoosier hospitality.” The committee’s purpose is to also build a lasting support organization that will back the ship for the next 32 years or when the ship is decommissioned, he continued. So far, the meet-andgreet sessions have gone well, Reilly told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s been going great,” he said. “We just in (Thursday) night and we’ve got a couple more days, and we’re really excited. We have some great events planned and so we’re really looking forward to it.” The USS Indiana, a Virginia class fast attack nuclear submarine, began construction in May 2015 at the Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Newport News Shipbuilding yard in Newport News, Va. The ship cost approximately $2.7 billion to construct, according to Shearer.

In 2012, the United States Navy announced it would name one of five new attack submarines after Indiana. The USS Indiana SSN 789 is the third Navy ship to bear Indiana’s name with the last USS Indiana being a battleship that saw action at Tarawa, the Philippine Sea and the Marianas Islands during World War II. The ship’s christening took place in April. Reilly told the crowd that submarine’s commissioning would be its next milestone. Currently the crew is preparing to take the ship’s reactor critical for the first time in the next month, he said. While the SSN 789’s commissioning was originally slated for August, it won’t occur until after January, according to Reilly. “When you’re building a ship as complex as the Indiana, there’s always some snafus that can happen,” he

Lt. Christopher Reilly, of the USS Indiana, shakes hands with local Herb Mullen following a “namesake visit” at Modoc’s Market Friday morning, Sept. 1. Reilly answered questions from locals like Mullen about the USS Indiana, a Virginia class fast attack nuclear submarine. Photo by Emma Rausch told The Paper. “So the original date was in August and the date right now is flexible, but we’re supposed to go out to sea for the first time in January and then commissioning will be after those sea trials, making sure the ship is operating properly.” The construction of the USS Indiana SSN 789 is “really unique,” according to Shearer. “One of the things

that we found is that there are (more than) 100 Indiana businesses that are directly or indirectly manufacturing components for the submarine program or in support of the ship’s construction,” Shearer said. “Now what’s special, what I find, about that is when you look at our state’s legacy going back to its earliest dates, its invention, its innovation and entrepreneur-

ship, we’re the number one manufacturing state in the country. “Here we have (more than) 100 businesses involved in (the USS Indiana’s construction) and it’s everything from the reactor vessels made down in Mount Vernon, the backup diesel generators made in Lafayette, … all over the state, there are small family business to major international conglomerates in small towns and large cities all over this state and it’s literally Hoosier hands building the Hoosier boat.”

Even though the ship’s construction is still currently underway, the submarine’s crew is already in place because “as the ship gets built, so does its crew,” Reilly explained. “There’s about 140 of us total in the crew with 15 officers and the rest are enlisted,” he said, later adding. “So Indiana is a fast attack submarine so we just have one crew. … So we’ll do everything from going out to sea on deployment

and we’re the guys doing the maintenance and all of that stuff as well. “So we do this process with the shipyard called system turn over,” he later added. “So as the (ship’s) systems get built, they reach a point where they say, ‘Ok now we’re ready for the ship to take over.’ … So we’re in a pretty heavy phase of the taking over these final systems.” During the hour(continued on page 6)

Roann festival begins Thursday The Paper of Wabash County that the town’s festivals have been documented back to 1913 and is a miraculous feat. “I don’t think there are many other towns that can say that (they’ve had town festivals for 100 years),” Harman said, later adding, “I think that people care about their little small towns and want to keep it going.” The festival will kick off Thursday,

Sept. 7, with vendors and amusement rides opening at 5 p.m. The Pipsqueak and Clarabelle Clowns and the Decades of Cutie Kings and Queens – Prince and Princess will begin at 6:30 p.m. The night’s main event, The Bulldogs performance, will begin at 8 p.m. at the center stage.

tunity to do in a larger city. That’s what makes Roann, a small, rural community, unique. We offer things like this and they enjoy it obviously. They keep coming back.” For more information on the festival and all of its events, flip to pages 26 and 27 of this edition of The Paper of Wabash County or visit roanncoveredbridgefestival.com.

explained, replying to a question about how fast the submarine can go, “but more than 20 knots. We are faster under water.” Following the session, Reilly told The Paper he enjoyed the Friday morning meet and greet. “It’s great,” Reilly said. “You spend a lot of time at work in the daily grind and so it’s

really nice to come and meet people, be able to talk about your job and people are genuinely interested in it. … I love what I do and I love talking about what I do to people who have questions. “It’s definitely different. The process for me being able to do what I do is the same thing except

being asked questions by the captain, who knows all this stuff. So he’s a lot tougher than this group here. I can answer these questions pretty easily.” To learn more about the USS Indiana or to stay up to date on its progress, visit ussindiana.org.

You should strive for more within yourself and not at the cost of others. It is simple; try not to compare your-

self with others too much. For one thing, there is no comparison; I am special, that’s not vanity, we all special and different from each other. In competition I admit I have secretly hoped my opponent would miss a shot, but I always get greater satisfaction by realizing

my opponent hit a winner, it took his best to beat me. When someone succeeds take sincere pleasure in their success; your life will be much improved.” PLEASE EMAIL YOUR NEWS AND INFORMATION TO: Isaac.Triplett@yahoo. com, or call me at 260274-2261.

VIEWPOINT Involvement in child’s education is very important By Tami Silverman We’ve all heard of “helicopter parents” who hover over their children, rescuing them at the first sign of struggle. I recall my child’s 4th grade teacher instructing parents not to complete an assigned project. However, the picture-perfect replicas of world landmarks made it clear some families disregarded the teacher’s plea. Research shows that helping with homework is one of the least effective ways to ensure student success, and overzealous parenting can harm a child’s education, selfconfidence and independence. Yet studies also show students with engaged parents are more likely to TAMI have better grades, SILVERMAN social skills and test scores, while being less likely to smoke, drink or become Parental engagement is a partnership in which families and school staff work together to support and improve the learning, development and well-being of students. The key to high-impact engagement is meaningful, sustained connections between the students, parents and educators. Ideally in these partnerships, parents are viewed as the child’s first teachers, who can reinforce classroom learning. Experts recommend parents view teachers as extended family, playing a critical role in a student’s academic and social-emotional well-being. It’s a partnership grounded in shared responsibility, communication and accountability that should leave students, parents and educators feeling connected and supported. Unfortunately, not all families have equitable opportunities to engage in their children’s education. Work and transportation conflicts are common challenges. Language and cultural barriers, as well as prior negative educational experiences can inhibit a family’s comfort level. While these barriers are significant, it’s critical to recognize that more than 80 percent of parents want to be involved in their child’s educational and developmental success. Parents can take the first step by contacting your student’s teachers, letting them know unique aspects of your child’s personality. Look for ways to reinforce classroom lessons at home and include extended family members as part of your family Each school and family must find the balance between student, parent and educator involvement. Those of us working with kids need to create the tools and support systems to help these critical relationships flourish. We know effective parent engagement reaps critical benefits for all parties. Rather than constantly hovering, perhaps we should become “hummingbird parents,” buzzing in regularly but briefly for support. Striking this balance will allow our children to feel supported yet independent, while maintaining quality relationships with educators. After all, family engagement is something parents and teachers want, and all students deserve. Tami Silverman is the president and CEO of the Indiana Youth Institute.

Early childhood education is vital Dear Editor: I have been a teacher for 30 years and spent the last 15 years in a kindergarten classroom. My first year of teaching kindergarten was the start of full day kindergarten. The goal was to bridge the gap between those with preschool experience and those without. While this idea addressed many issues, it hasn’t fixed the problem for students who did not have a quality early learning experience. I have 22 kindergarteners this year and I already see the clear divide between those who are ready for school and those who are not. Students who come from quality early learning programs have a huge advantage. They’re confident, can find their cubby by looking for their name, find their seats and begin a task. Many can write their name independently. They come to the carpet, sit on a spot and stay in one place. They participate and raise their hand when they need my attention. They have a basic understanding of letters and sounds, recognize numbers, and can count. Throughout the day, these students have the stamina to continue learning. When school is over, they pack up their items and stay in a bus line without getting lost.

These students can do all the above, because they come from an enriching learning environment. A child’s brain is 90 percent developed by 5 years old! That means most development has already occurred BEFORE they ever walk into my classroom. If the development hasn’t occurred, then we’re playing catch up. On the flip side, several students come to me with no prior early learning program or from a low-quality program. These students struggle from day one. They have difficulty writing their name or cannot write at all. They struggle with coloring, cutting, and using glue, all skills that take a lot of practice. They struggle with listening and are unable to sit for a 15-minute period. They have issues sharing and following directions. They want my atten-

tion immediately and will shout out or interrupt. By afternoon, these students are cranky and have lost the ability to focus or stay on task. They’re the ones who have trouble staying in the bus line and end up lost. Kindergartners themselves are needy, but those without quality early learning experiences require so much more of my attention. I often spend my time addressing their needs, and the ones who are capable get unintentionally left out. For a teacher, it’s more challenging to have students who are unprepared for kindergarten level, but I know the challenges have only begun for the child. High quality early learning sets the standard and is the foundation for all other skills to build upon. Kindergarten can no longer be the first step. That’s why I’m excited to learn about the efforts of the Wabash County Early Childhood Education Committee. It’s encouraging to see our community invest time and resources into these important issues so that when a child does step into the kindergarten classroom, he or she is set up for success. — Carol Enyeart, Wabash City Schools Kindergarten Teacher

Kiwanians appreciate community help Dear Editor: The 21st Annual Wabash Kiwanis Club Bucket Brigade for Riley Children’s Hospital took place Saturday, Aug. 26. We were successful in collecting generous donations from area residents in the amount of $1,286.96, to be sint in full to to the hospital. This brings the total our community has sent to Riley hospital over these 21 years to $37,238.77. The Wabash Kiwanis Club thanks every contributor to this cause of supporting the health facility which has done so much for many years for many children. Riley Hospital continues to lead the way inimprovements in cring for young people’s various needs with-

new facilities, equipment and treatment methods.

This year we stationed our buckets at Bechtol Grocery, Wabash Walmart, Big R and Kroger. We thank these businesses for their willingness to allow us to use their areas.

The presentation will focus on the meaning of important concepts such as separation of powers, federalism, judicial restraint and constitutional interpretation.

Former Miss America helps rebuild local Habitat house By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER Wabash County Habitat for Humanity’s current project home received help from a former Miss America on Saturday, Aug. 26. Katie Stam Irk, Miss Indiana 2008 and Miss American 2009, worked with volunteers from Beacon Credit Union (BCU) throughout the morning on the Habitat home. While homeowners Tyler and Shailea Singleton were not present due to work schedules, several volunteers from Habitat

and BCU worked throughout the day Saturday to pull weeds, wrap the home, install soffits and fascia and much more. This was Irk’s first time on a Habitat site. “I don’t know that anybody had any expectations, or what their expectations were for a Miss America on a homebuilding site, but I think I’ve surprised them a little bit because I’m letting my farm girl out. I love getting my hands dirty. I live in an 85-year0-old farmhouse down in Indianapolis, so we constantly have some kind of project

going on all the time. I very quickly learned how to drywall and to repair cracks and things, spackling and all of that… you just kind of learn as you go. I’ve never done something on this level. I’ve never worked with the exterior of a home, only the interior I’m happy to learn some new trades on the exterior. It’s been really fun. We started off by cutting out all the windows and doors, and then we wrapped the house – that’s just a protective layer to protect it from the wind, water, all that – and then we are in the

process of finishing the soffits and the fascia, which basically allows any moisture from the attic to vent out the sides. I think there were 12 volunteers from Beacon that were coming out, myself included. I serve as spokesperson for Beacon, and I have for the last two years. In that role, I get to be a representative of the company in the community. I have participated in numerous community events, and I really love participating in our community service outreach. That’s been really, really awesome. That’s one thing a lot of people may not know about Beacon, is their community involvement, how much they give back. It’s just blow me away. One of our main causes that we do fundraising for is Riley Hospital for Children in d o w n t o w n Indianapolis. Last year, we were able to donate $43,000, which is spectacular. So this year in order to take it to the next level, instead of just writing the check – which we will continue to do – I actually went into the hospital. I’ve gone in twice over the last couple of months. I get to spend time with the patients and their families, and hopefully put a smile on their faces. Irk said that she and a patient co-hosted a game show in the hospital’s Child Life Center, a play area in which doctors don’t wear coats and shots and pills are not allowed. “We broadcasted it

Photo by David Fenker live into every single patient room throughout the hospital,” she said. Patients viewing from their rooms were able to phone in with their trivia answers or bingo numbers. “It’s really been awesome, taking par tint eh community outreach, because it’s so extraordinary, it really is. This is just a small part of what Beacon does to give back to the community, but it really is living the lifestyle of people helping people – that’s our motto. When I first started working with Beacon, that was one of the first things that was so apparent to me, that they really live that out, and now I’m getting to participate in that, too. Irk previously worked for Rushvillebased Midwest Ag Finance, which was acquired by BCU. “I sat down with our CEO, Kevin Willour, and as I started to learn about what Beacon stood for and their

emphasis on service – that was the first thing that stuck out to me, not just the service element of the company as a whole, but the service element of the individuals. Everyone that works for Beacon has a heart for service, and that’s one of the things that immediately drew me in. Immediately, it was the service element of when a customer comes into one of our branches. Service is going to be the ultimate thing that we can provide for them, so we have to make sure that everyone’s experience is topnotch, but then to take it a step further and to have that service not only mean customerrelated, but community related, and to see how much they do, it just amazes me. Irk also commented on Beacon’s Project Spotlight, in which community members may nominate and then vote for their favorite local nonprofit. The winner (based on most

votes) receives a $1,000 donation, with second and third place getting $500 and $250, respectively. “I was able to get the Miss Indiana contestants involved in that this year, too. This is just perfect, because there’s the service element of Miss Indiana, and we’ve got these girls ages 13 all the way up to 24 – because it encompasses our Outstanding Teen program, too – so we’ve got all these girls throughout the state who can make a huge impact on Project Spotlight. “There was no question, after my year of service was over, that I’d be coming back to Indiana and getting back to my agriculture roots, which is initially how I found Beacon. “It’s just awesome to make it back to my home state… and to get back to my roots, back to agriculture, and tie it all in now as a wife and a mother. Everything’s come full circle, which is really beautiful. Work on the North Manchester home began in April, Habitat Executive Director Maggie Wimberly said. “We’ve added on a 300-square-foot addition, put on a whole new roof on the existing roof. The first part of the house is just about ready to start finish work. Plumbing and HVAC are moving right along, so we’re just cruising. Singleton, a plumber’s apprentice with North Manchester-based Poston Plumbing, is doing much of the HVAC and plumbing work. “They dragged out the old HVAC, and he’s installing new trunk line and registers. In the addition, “It’s hurry up and wait, because we have a contractor who’s doing (continued on page 25)

City workers to get 2 percent increases Council seeks 6 percent increase for mayor By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Most of the City of Wabash employees will receive a 2 percent cost of living raise for 2018. Not included in the 2 percent increase is Mayor Scott Long, who was granted a 6 percent increase, and Kipp Cantrell, the city’s Code Enforcement Officer, who was granted an increase larger than 2 percent. The City Council, along with Mayor Scott Long and Clerk-T reasurer Wendy Frazier met with the city’s department heads for 3 ½ hours Wednesday, Aug. 30, to get a preliminary look at the city’s budget for next year. The preliminary budget total comes in at $18 million. However, that figure could change after officials at the Department of Local G o v e r n m e n t Finance reviews the budget. Included in the 2 percent pay increase is the Wabash City Council. Council member Mitch Figert pushed the point during discussions, noting, “if we’re doing a cost of living, cost of living is everybody or nobody. “To me, if it’s not performance, if it’s cost of living, it’s everybody or it’s nobody. If we start

separating people out, than it’s no longer cost of living.” Council member Marc Shelley asked if the Council members are considered city employees. “We gave a 2 percent to Board of Works last year, and we’re as much an employee as they are,” Figert said. Council member Bryan Dillon agreed with Figert, saying that if the Council doesn’t receive periodic increases, at some point in time it will have to give itself a substantial increase. “In the past, they didn’t take raises, didn’t take raises, then all of a sudden, we start looking out at Huntington and Peru comparisons,” he said. “Since they didn’t take a raise any of those years, they all of a sudden gave themselves a lump sum raise of a thousand dollars. “When the public looks at that they’re thinking, ‘Why did the Council get a thousand dollar raise.” Council member Doug Adams questioned the need for the increase. “It’s a hell of a salary for what’s done,” he said. “Board of Works is a lot more involved than City Council. “We’re not making a living off it. If we’re making a living off it, then we need to do something else.” The 2 percent increase works out to be a $133.20 increase for each

Council member, bringing the members’ annual salary to $6,793. Figert defended the increase, saying, “you can come to one meeting for half and hour, and do nothing until the next meeting. Or, you can work it. I work 10 to 15 hours per week. I don’t count on this salary. But we don’t get our stationary paid for, we do get our postage paid for, we don’t get our mileage page for. We are due something to help cover those expenses. “At some point you’re going to have people saying, ‘I don’t want to run for City Council because you have to pay for your campaign, you have to pay for all of your supplies. Yes, we are well compensated if you look at other counties. But the point is, 2 percent cost of living is everybody or nobody, or it’s no longer cost of living. “And, like Bryan said, at some point we’ll be behind all the other counties and have to do a major adjustment.” The Council, in discussing Long’s salary, noted that he inherited the budget set by former Mayor R o b e r t Va n l a n d i n g h a m , which didn’t include a pay raise for the first year in office. The second year, the Council wanted to include an increase, which Long rejected. This year, the budget initially included a 5 percent increase for the

mayor. “(The mayor’s salary) is the one I believe should be adjusted to whatever’s fair and reasonable,” Adams said. “Honestly, I think the wage kind of sucks for what is done by the mayor. There are mayors that don’t deserve 1 percent, and there are mayors that deserve 10 percent. “You’ve done an awful lot the first couple years.” During the 2015 mayor campaign, Long said he would reject pay increases, and did so in 2016 when Council attempted to give him a 2 percent increase. “As we looked at the salaries, if I continue to reject an increase, the department head salaries are creeping up on the mayor salary,” Long told The Paper of Wabash County, explaining his decision to accept the increase this year. “After discussions with several council members, they encouraged me to accept the raise. “Quite frankly, the job entails a lot of late evenings with meetings, I could decline going to some of these, but I believe it is the job of this office to be involved in as much as possible.” Figert said he would like to see performance-based pay started in the city. “I’d love to see us get to a performance-based, acrossthe-board for all the department heads,

Baby & Me – Tobacco Free class planned By The Paper staff Wabash County is one of the highest counties in the state with 25.2 percent of pregnant women that smoke. There is an average of 83 births affected annually by smoking with low birth weight, SIDS, and reduced lung function. It cost the state an added $112,931 in health care cost for the new mother and baby. Baby & Me – Tobacco Free is a smoking cessation program created to reduce the burden of

tobacco use on the pregnant and postpartum population. The results of this program have been well documented, and it has received national acclaim for its effectiveness. It works by: Pregnant women that smoke are referred by their physician, obstetric/prenatal clinic, or other entity to the Baby & Me - Tobacco Free program The woman meets with a specialized counselor who is trained in the Baby & Me™ program, and an initial intake

is completed Each participant receives 4 prenatal cessation counseling sessions, support, and carbon monoxide monitoring After the birth of the baby, the mother returns monthly for support and continued carbon monoxide monitoring If the mother remains smoke-free, she receives a $25 monthly voucher for diapers for up to 12 months postpartum To learn more of the program, there is a Lunch and Learn information meeting at Parkview Wabash

Hospital on Sept. 8, noon to 1:15. This time will give you an overview of the program and how/when to make referrals. Call the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition office to make a reservation, 260-274-2920. If there is a pregnant woman that needs help to quit, call today to enroll and start the process to quit. Tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable diseases and death.

Mechanic’s bay planned at Street Department By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Two projects proposed for 2018 were d i s c u s s e d Wednesday night, Aug. 30, when the Wabash City Council met with department heads to discuss next year’s city budget. One project to be paid for by funds from the Wabash Street Department, calls for the building of a mechanic’s bay at the Street Department and Wabash Police Department complex. “The intent is to build a mechanic’s bay and eventually equip it with a car wash on the end of it for any city department to use to wash its vehicles,” Mayor Scott Long said. “It will be an apparatus like you see on McCarty Street.” The Street Department’s budget includes $50,000 for the project. In another change, one department employee will become a mechanic, giving it two mechanics and six regular employees. When the current mechanic gets overbut we’re not there yet and I don’t have time to tackle something as complex as that,” he said. “But, you can do a 2 percent cost of living increase, and you can look at the mayor and say with the savings he’s brought to the city and the new revenue he’s brought to the

whelmed, one of the other employees helps out, Long noted. This change will give the department two mechanics to cover peak periods, as well as times when one of the mechanics are on vacation. S t r e e t Superintendent Scott Richardson said that when there is not much mechanical work to be done, one of the mechanics would be back on the street working with the other employees. The two mechanics will likely alternate working in the garage and on the street during slow periods, he said. Richardson also notified other department heads that should any other city vehicle needed maintenance, the Street Department mechanics can take care of the work. In another matter, Wabash Police Chief Matt Bruss told the Council he is considering a policy change allowing police officers who live in the city to take their cars home. “It’s an incentive to live in the town they police,” he told city, he deserves more than that. “You can do a cost of living, and then you can consider a performance on top of cost of living, which is what I would say we are considering for the mayor.” As for Cantrell’s pay, the Council wants to bring his

Council. “Other departments have done this already, and they’ve experienced, even with the additional cars, they haven’t seen a big rise in just general maintenance.” With the change, he noted, fuel costs will increase, but it’s not possible to determine how much that might be. Council member Bryan Dillon asked if the program entailed more than just driving the officers driving the cars home and parking them. “It will be their car,” he said, “because if they are driving around and they have their radios on …” Dillon said he “loves the idea. The appearance of a police car, it curtails the activity.” Four police cars are currently on order, Bruss said, bringing the department total to 17. Three more are expected to be ordered next spring, bringing the number of cars to 20. There are currently 14 officers who are eligible to take the cars home, leaving six cars in the pool.

salary more in line with other city employees. It is increasing his salary to $38,000 this year, up $3,000 from this year. If he receives certification during the coming year, Council will consider another increase next year.

Former Miss America helps rebuild local Habitat house ...continued from page 20 electrical, and so we’re waiting on his schedule. “We’ve got a lot of exterior with siding. They added house wrap today, and the next step outside is siding. “We’re working with the existing siding. The homeowners selected finishes working with a volunteer of ours

who is an interior decorator, and the volunteer helped them match up a siding that will blend very well with the existing siding. For cost reasons, we’re trying to salvage as much as we can, which is why we’re using the windows that are already in the house, which are good, sturdy 30-year windows.

“We’re hoping to have it finished by the end of October, and that means that we’ll go into the process of closing, so we’ll close probably by the end of November and Tyler and Shailea then will be hopefully moved in by sometime in December. “[Sweat equity is] 300 hours per family at this

time (the selection committee is looking to change it to 250 hours per adult, to make it more fair to single homeowners). The Singletons need to provide 300 hours of sweat equity. They can earn it in a multitude of ways: not just working on the house, but also doing handwritten notes to donors to say

31 City seeks eminent domain on Alber Street land

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

September 6, 2017

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash City Council and the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety last week laid the groundwork for the city to pursue eminent domain on small portions of two lots along Alber Street. The land is needed for the second phase of the Alber Street project to take place. The city needed to obtain rights-of-way for 13 pieces of property involved in the Alber Street project. Thus far, it has received 10 rights-ofway. An offer on one piece of property has been accepted and a signature on the paperwork is all that is keeping that from being finalized. The other two pieces in question – one at 1669 Alber St. and the other at 1663 Alber St. – are what have been holding up the progress. The city is seeking 0.041 acres of land at 1669 Alber St. However, to John Nelson of DLZ

Indiana, there are several liens against the property. DLZ is the engineering firm overseeing the project. Because liens “far exceed” the amount offered for the piece of land. Courts, the Indiana Department of Transportation and the Federal H i g h w a y Administration all believe the lien-owner should receive the funds. If the offer was more than the liens, Nelson told the Board of Works during a special meeting on Wednesday, the amount of the liens would be deducted from the payment, with the homeowner receiving the funds that were left. As for the 1663 Alber St. situation, the homeowner has refused the offer, which Nelson noted was his right to do, but has failed to offer a counter offer. The homeowner, Nelson was told, has spoken to other neighbors and learned the amount offered for his land – which totals 0.057 acres — was less

than others were receiving. But, Nelson noted to the City Council, the neighbor had several other factors that led to the larger offer. The neighbor had several trees and a power pole that had to be dealt with, he said, and because of that the offer was more. The Council, on Monday, and Board of Works, on Wednesday, approved resolutions determining the need for the use of eminent domain to obtain the two tracts of land. A request will be filed within in Wabash Circuit Court to begin the condemnation process which, if approved, could lead to the use of eminent domain. The Alber Street project calls for widening the road to include a parking lane to the east, adding a sidewalk adjacent to the parking lane, and installing new curbs, gutters, and a sewer system. The city has received state funding to help with the project, but in order to obtain the funds, all the rights-of-way must be obtained.

TRC action continues Friday night By Bill Barrows Three Rivers Conference matchups dot the landscape going into week four of Wabash County High School football on Friday night. Players and coaches alike have now gotten into the weekly routine of film study, practice each night

and the customary Thursday night walk through for the Friday night battle under the lights. It’s a long and deep tradition here in our little corner of the world. This week’s matchups include the Northfield Norsemen traveling up to Tippecanoe Valley, the Southwood

Knights and their high powered offense and their top 10 state ranking will host North Miami. The Wabash Apaches will travel to Maconaquah and the Manchester Squires will host Peru. Jim Landrum and I will be live on Wabash WebTV at about 6:45pm from Manchester High

BILL BARROWS School with the pregame and kickoff

will be at 7pm. Wabash WebTV will bring you all of the action streaming over the internet each Friday evening so that those who cannot get to a game in-person, can watch the featured game. The Harness brothers, Rick and Tim, along with Jim Landrum, Chandler Jones and I will bring you all of the action this season. Join us for all of it on Wabash WebTV.

City revises Owner Occupied Rehab resolution By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A revised resolution providing more matching funds for the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation project was unanimously approved Monday night, Aug. 28, by the Wabash City Council. The move was basically a technicality, increasing the amount spent in the second phase of the project from $25,000 to $27,000. Plans had originally called for spending $25,000 per each of the two phases. However, only $23,000 was spent in the first phase, Mayor Scott Long reminded Council. Because of that, the $2,000 not spent in the first phase will be added to the second phase. To do that, Council

had to approve the revised resolution. In another matter, Wabash City Schools business manager Matt Stone received permission from Council to advertise the school district’s 2018 budget. Under state statute, Council must approve the district’s budget because it appoints members to the school board. It is one of about 13 appointed school boards across the state. Council also appointed Josh Petrinuw to the Wabash Carnegie Public Library Board, replacing longtime board member Nancy Bell, who has resigned. He will fill out her term, which continues until August 2018. In a final matter, Council was updated on the services provided by the Friends in Service Here (F.I.S.H.) Food Pantry.
