Officials investigate shootings State police probe incident at Lagro By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Investigators from the Indiana State Police, with help from the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, are probing an early morning shooting Tuesday, Nov. 29, near Lagro. According to Sgt. Tony Slocum, Indiana State Police Public Information Officer, at approximately 4:09 a.m. Tuesday, officers from the Indiana State Police, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, and the Wabash Police Department responded to

a 911 call reporting a shooting at 17 N. State Road 524, Lagro. When officers arrived, they found evidence that the exterior of a home at that location had been hit with bullets. At the request of Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land, Indiana State Police Detective Wendell Beachy started an investigation. “This investigation is going to take a considerable amount of time, and possibly span two or three other counties once all is said and done,” Land told The Paper of Wabash County. “ISP has the manpower to accom-

75 years later, local WWII veterans reflect on Pearl Harbor attack Wednesday, Dec. 7, commemorates “a date which will live in infamy” as it marks the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. On Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, Imperial Japan launched a surprise military strike against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, then Hawaiian territory. In just two hours, starting at 7:55 a.m. Hawaiian time, 12:55 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, more than 2,000 Americans lost their lives, another 1,178 were wounded and about 188 U.S. aircrafts were destroyed. The attack sent shockwaves around the country as news spread of the attack. The following day, Dec. 8, the United States declared war on Japan and entered World War II. Following the Tokyo Trials, the airstrike was judged to be a war crime. While 75 years have since passed, there are lessons still

The initial shock Like many Americans, Wabash locals Chuck Ravenscroft and George Price didn’t know what to think when they heard the news. Price had just finished Sunday school with his brother, Willard, while Ravenscroft heard the news at work. Both were shocked. “I was maybe sort of angry,” Ravenscroft told The Paper of Wabash County. “I knew that was sort of sneaky what they did, plus we lost maybe 2,200 people in the attack. That’s just terrible.” Price admitted he didn’t realize what it meant initially, (continued on page 3)

‘A day which will live in infamy’ according to Cindi Price, wife. “(Price) said that he and his brother, who was a year-and-a-half older, Willard, were just shocked because they didn’t realize right then what it meant, although as the day progressed and they talked more about it, their parents said that means we’re probably be going to war,” Mrs. Price said. During a telephone interview with The Paper, Mrs. Price relayed her husband’s responses since his hearing was damaged during World War II. After the initial shock passed, the country came together, according to Price. “The country came together and a lot of people were patriotic,” Mrs. Price said. “They destroyed a lot of our ships and so forth, but within a couple of years, we were pretty strong again,” Ravenscroft said. “I mean the way the American people got together, we really put things back together.” Like many Americans, following the attack, Price and Ravenscroft joined in the fight. When good men go to war Ravenscroft’s story Ravenscroft, a Wabash native, was 18-years-old when he heard the news. “I think I was working at General Motors in Anderson, Indiana, when I heard about it,” he said. “It’s sort of hard to remember. It was 75 years ago. I was young and war didn’t mean anything. “Then all of a sudden, we’re in it.” After the United States entered the war, Ravenscroft was drafted while he was still attended Wabash High School. “I went in in November of 1942,” he said. “The Army sent me a draft, but I didn’t want to join the Army so I joined the Navy.” Ravenscroft served as a boatswain on a submarine chaser in the North Atlantic. He assisted with locating German submarines in the Battle of the Atlantic before he joined the patrol of the English Channel. “I must have been in England for 40 days, or for several

months, and every day there was a bombing,” Ravenscroft said. “You just get used to it. When the alarms go off, you just run for a bomb shelter. “It was terrifying. With little kids and stuff involved, you just never know.” On June 6, 1944, he watched offshore as his brothers in arms stormed Normandy Beach and the carnage that followed. “(I saw) people getting killed,” Ravenscroft said. “I was on a sub-chaser off the beach patrolling. I was there at Normandy Beach, Omaha Beach and Mulberry Beach. “My ship was in charge of Mulberry Beach for the breakaways, so they could land all of their equipment because the surf over there is so bad, and Winston Churchill’s nephew was on my ship overseeing everything, and I can’t remember his name, but no one knew too much about him.” He admitted it was hard to focus on the battle. Ravenscroft’s ship picked up many bodies that had drowned, but also picked up dozens of those that survived, too. After D-Day, he joined the USS Topeka and traveled to the Pacific to fight the Japanese. “I was lucky to survive,” he said. “Not many people were lucky to have fought in both (the European and Pacific Asian) theatres. “I went through the canal and fought the Japanese to the end of

Today, Ravenscroft doesn’t think too much about the war. “In fact it’s hard for me to remember a lot of things,” he said. “I just sort of push it out of my mind. … It seems like time’s washing away now. A lot of changes have been made. A lot of presidents I voted for. Several I didn’t vote

for.” But he agreed with Price that there is a lesson to take away from it all. “I think we should always be more prepared,” he said. “Even today, I believe in a strong military.” Price’s story Price learned about the airstrike from his mother. “He and his brother had been in Sunday school and his mom had been some place else in church and she had gone to the car to pick them up,” Mrs. Price said, “and when the got in the

car, she asked him if he knew where Pearl Harbor was. At the time, he was a sopho-

‘A day which will live in infamy’ somewhere in Hawaii but I don’t know for sure.’ “And his mom said, ‘Well it’s just all over the radio that Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.’” For weeks following the attack, Price’s Sunday school discussed where Pearl Harbor was located and what it meant for the country. “The Sunday school was already over when my mother picked up me and my

brother and told us about the bombing,” Price said. “We didn’t have any television so radio was all you could hear from and then the next Sunday at Sunday school class, the whole entire time we dealt with just where is this Pearl Harbor? Is it a part of the United States or is it a Dutch colony? “The Japanese were not a class of people that our people knew a whole lot

However, he eventually was forced to change his plans and joined the war. “Somehow the draft board in Wabash County got his name,” Mrs. Price said. “He told them, ‘I wasn’t supposed to go,’ and they said, ‘Well your name came up.’ So he had to. He was in his first or second semester of his freshman year at IU and then he got killed. “(Price’s) brother went to England and flew with the Army 8th Air Corps and he was killed over Hamburg, Germany, on a bombing raid. George was in basic training when Bill died in October.” Price became the sole surviving son of his family, but the clause that prevented men like Price from

fighting in the war didn’t begin until 1948. As soon as Price turned 18-years-old in March 1944, he was drafted into U.S. Army. He eventually served in the 120th Field Artillery for the 32nd Division as a forward observer in the South Pacific. On his way to New Guinea, his ship docked in Hawaii where Price witnessed some of the destruction of Pearl Harbor, even though the airstrike occurred four years prior. “They were anchored at Honolulu,” Mrs. Price said. “Even from a distance, a lot of it was fixed, but much of it was still damaged.” During his time in

CHUCK RAVENSCROFT Page 5 the service, Price experienced many fun, memorable moments, including training with comedian Red Skelton, learning how to drive and his battalion adopting their duck mascot, Staff Sgt. Poncho. However, he also experienced many tragic moments too. “On this hillside, the Vera Verde trail in the Philippines, a group of Filipinos were taking packhorses with equipment and they moving forward of the fighting troops that were coming up the mountains,” she said. “(Price) was the radio coordinator at that

point and the big guns came and fired and three men around him were killed. As a forward, he was also required to dig foxholes at night. “And at night they were told that if they heard an American or they heard someone say, ‘Help! I need your help!’ not to respond, not if they were crying or anything because it was the Japanese who were infiltrating,” she continued. “One night in particular he heard this and he said it took everything to withstand not to go help, but the next morning, in the foxhole right beside him, a young soldier was killed and his ring finger was cut off. “Yeah. He was scared, but he is very dedicated to God and so he prayed and said, ‘God, if you want me to come home, okay. If you don’t, let me do my job the best I can.’” Price witnessed firsthand great tragedy from both sides of the war. “Being that he was in high school, he realized that they were going to war and he realized that was a necessity, something that had to be done for democracy,” Mrs. Price said, “but when he was in the Philippines, he saw people blown up close to him. He was a forward observer and they were supposed to only be up front 30 days and he was up front 40 days. “But he was on one of the clean up details that went into Japan after the Atomic (continued on page 5)

‘A day which will live in infamy’ bomb dropped and so he got to know the Japanese people, the ordinary people, and he really liked the ordinary Japanese person.” Price survived the war. Upon his return, Price attended Ball State University and pursued multiple degrees in education and physical education. However, his time in the service didn’t end just yet. In 1951, Price was ordered to serve in the Korean War. To fulfill his service, Price served at Nara Station Hospital in Japan where he cared for injured soldiers and prepared them to return to war or to go home. Eventually, Price too returned home and became the assis-

thing the American people need to remember. “We need to reflect on the fact that the ordinary, Japanese people didn’t know what their government was doing,” Mrs. Price said, “and once he got to know those ordinary people, he became very

good friends with several families. “We are similar to these people were fighting. We need to focus on loving more and not on fighting so much as well as getting to know people, know them as a person and not as what their government is representing.”

Corrections director, Chief Probation officer and Prosecutor William Hartley Jr. to assess current programming and to allow them to discuss their needs and concerns. Todd Samuelson, from Umbaugh and Associates, discussed his firm’s role with the process. The company has started to study the county’s current financial landscape as well as to evaluate the information and consider a variety of options the county

could have for financing the project. Once that information is gleaned, Umbaugh representatives will meet with Wabash County Commissioners and the Wabash County Council to discuss their ideas. Built in 1979, the Wabash County Jail has a 72-bed capacity.

inmates. As of Nov. 30, Wabash County has paid Miami County $540,200.02 to house inmates this year, Land told The Paper of Wabash County. Wabash County has paid an additional $27,540 to Elkhart County as of Nov. 30. “All of the funds that are utilized come from the Local Option Income Tax (LOIT) Public Safety Fund,” Land said. “From this fund I pay Miami County $35 per day per inmate. I pay Elkhart County $40 per day per inmate. I also pay the Indiana Department of Corrections to house inmates for safety reasons, which I have two inmates in that program called ‘Safe Keep.’” As of Nov. 30, IDOC has received $12,388.21 from Wabash County. “It is hard to anticipate from year to year what costs will be associated to house our overflow inmates,” Land said. “I frequently ask for additional appropria-

tions for inmate transfers.” The 2016 Sheriff ’s Department budget had a total of $249,644 for inmate transfers. Land plans to attend the December County Council meeting to ask for additional appropriations for inmate transfer. If approved, it will bring the total of additional appropriations to $400,000, he said. Not included in those costs are payments for deputies to travel back and forth to Miami and Elkhart counties, as well as wear and tear on the automobiles. “I do not have the figures on cost for that aspect,” the sheriff said. As for what inmates are transferred to Miami County, Land said there is no specific procedure that is followed. “It depends on what space I need to make available here,” he said. Elkhart County only holds inmates that have been sentenced.

ISAAC-ISM: “If you just happen to be blessed with a special talent or skill, then you have an obligation to yourself, others, and the Lord to make the most of it. You have within you the power to make life and any sport you play fun, to build confidence, to play sports and life consistently, and to excel in both. When we put our all into life and a sport there is the possibility we will not reach the level we were shooting for, but you can take great satisfaction in the fact that you put in your best effort. The result is a higher quality of both life and sports.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

The Promise Scholarship Program provides financial awards that students can use later on to pay for college or career education after high school.

The Wabash City Council approved $105,000 in additional appropriations for the Wabash City Schools on Monday night, Nov. 28. Of the $105,000, $45,000 was from capital outlays and will be used for the bus replacement fund.

Rainy Day Fund. City Schools Business Manager Matt Stone said the appropriations were basically a bookkeeping matter, as the district already had the funds on hand. “This is just a bookkeeping thing,” he said. “This is money we already have. We just have to ask to spend it in these funds.”

The Council must approve the matter, as it has final say on the City Schools’ budget matters. Under state statute, the Council must approve the district’s financial matters because it appoints the school board. The bus is for the Wabash Miami Area Program, the district’s special education program.

and since we didn’t have anything in the budget, we have to ask for permission to spend that money. We already have that money, but we have to ask for permission to spend it. The (Department of Local Government Finance) wouldn’t let us spend it if we didn’t have it. They would just tell us no.” Council member Bryan Dillon praised City Schools officials for their efforts. “I’ve sat through a lot of school board meetings and I can’t say enough of how well you guys have done,” he said. “The budgeting thing and moving things around and still making it work. You’re doing a good job.” In another schoolrelated matter, Dillon announced that he hoped to have the name of a school board appointee to present to the Council at its Dec. 12 meeting. The council interviewed three candidates on Dec. 1. Brandon France’s term expires at the end of the year.

“Because of the changes with the Wabash Miami Area Program … we had to buy a new special ed bus, so we’re asking for $45,000, which is about half a bus,” he said. “We had the money already in there appropriated. We had to finish it off to buy that bus. “We’re also asking for $40,000 for the Transportation Fund. With our extended routes and our special ed routes, we needed that.” The district, Stone said, never budgets money in the Rainy Day Fund. However, it received an extra $20,000 from the state in County Adjusted Gross Income Tax Funds, the district opted to help the teachers. We decided to distribute that in $200 stipends to our teachers,” he said. “And so we’re spending that money they gave us,

Stirring It Up

My husband, Dave, and I recently bought an old home that was built in the 1930s with the idea that we would restore it to it’s original beauty. Structurally, it had good bones but needed a little tender loving care. I completely underestimated the amount of work this home would require. Needless to say ANGIE BAER I haven’t been able to spend much time in my kitchen preparing weeknight meals. This recipe for Orange Ginger Chicken is a good go to recipe for busy nights. Like most stir fry dishes, it comes together quickly. The salted cashews sprinkled on top is what really makes this dish delicious. Hope you love it as much as we do.

City gives strip of land to Honeywell Foundation By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A strip of land just west of the Historic Eagles Theatre was given to the H o n e y w e l l Foundation by the City of Wabash on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 1. The land, 10-feetwide by 132-feet long, will be part of the theatre’s renovation proj-

ect under the Stellar Program, Mayor Scott Long told the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety. The land was given to the city in 1905 by the Eagles Lodge, Mayor Scott Long said, and the land transfer was recorded at the Wabash County Courthouse on June 20, 1905. The land was never dedicated to anything by the city. “It is surplus prop-

NIPSCO reminds customers of carbon monoxide dangers By The Paper staff

MERRILLVILLE — As winter settles in, NIPSCO reminds customers of the importance of maintaining a safe home heating system. An annual inspection is essential for every home’s furnace to ensure that it is working efficiently and to help protect residents from safety concerns, such as carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, non-corrosive gas and a by-product of burning fuels such as coal, wood, charcoal, natural gas and fuel oil. CO can be emitted by furnaces, generators, space heaters, stoves, fireplaces, water heaters and automobile exhaust. Carbon monoxide can be poisonous if allowed to build up in enclosed spaces. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are flu-like, including headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion. At high levels, it can cause loss of consciousness and death. Those who think they are suffering from CO poisoning, should get fresh air immediately and call 911. Take action to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: Install a batteryoperated CO detector in the home near the bedrooms, making sure it’s clear of furniture or draperies. Test the battery regularly. Do not use ovens, gas ranges or grills to heat the home. Never use a generator inside a home,

basement, garage or other enclosed or partially enclosed area. Never leave a car or lawn mower engine running in a shed, garage or any enclosed space.

erty, which we can give to a non-profit under statute, which the Honeywell Foundation is,” he said. H o n e y w e l l Foundation representative Steve Downs said the statute allows the city to give it to “a not-for-profit who is organized for recreational or educational purposes, which is right in the wheelhouse of Honeywell. “It’s never been used as an alley,” he continued. “It came from the Eagles to the city for some reason, we really don’t know why. You could also give it to an agricultural non-profit if you wanted to.” H o n e y w e l l Foundation Executive Director Tod Minnich

COLUMBIA CITY 119 Hoosier Drive 260-244-4111

told The Paper of Wabash County after the meeting that the renovation is still in the planning stages. A public hearing on the matter is tentatively scheduled before the Wabash City Council on Jan. 23, he said. In another matter, the board approved writing off water bills for six properties in 2016. The total of the write-offs is $2,008.51. Finally, the board approved a job description for the newly created post of Code Enforcement Officer/Building Inspector. The City Council created the post to assist Building Commissioner John Stephens.

Wabash County EMA receives IDHS grant By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

Thanks to a grant from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, the Wabash County E m e r g e n c y Management Agency will soon purchase an electronic whiteboard. EMA Director Keith Walters informed the county commissioners that EMA had applied for the grant in June and been turned down due to the competitive nature of the grant.

“Monday afternoon they called me and asked if I would still be interested, as they had some money come back in. I told them yes, so they sent me an award letter and I would like to move forward with it,” Walters said. The whiteboard will allow EMA personnel in the field to participate in meetings by allowing them to view the board on their smart devices. The grant amount is $7,989. In other news, Sheriff Bob Land

reported that the Wabash County Jail is holding 88 inmates, with 56 being held in Miami County and three in Elkhart, as of Monday, Dec. 5. L and also informed the commissioners that his department has received stateissued IDs for their new radio system, and hopes to have that system up and running by the end of the month. The changeover will cost the department an estimated $7,900.

Investigation over in apartment fire ...continued from the front page mined due to the extent of the damage to the structure. Kissinger said the damage is estimated to cost between $275,000 and $310,000, using data from The S c h n e i d e r Corporation’s Beacon public access website. A total of five addresses are included in the damage estimate including 214 E. Main St., located across an alley west of the location of the fire. The NMFD received a call around 4:40 a.m. on Nov. 28 reporting a fire at the former location of The Brewhouse, 216 E. Main St. Units on the scene found smoke and fire at the rear of the building. By the time the fire was extinguished, the building was destroyed. Building owner Ben Gebhart said that it appears the building will be a total loss. “Contingent upon my insurance company’s release of the property and the condition of the façade, I would guess that I will have to demolish the remains of the building. At that point, I would look to donate the property to the city or anyone interested,” he said. He said that employees and contractors had been working to renovate the building for the past six months, with plans to reopen at some point. “I’ve put a lot of hard work in the building and had plans to do a lot more. All in all, this is a loss for myself and downtown North Manchester,” he said. From The

Brewhouse, the fire spread to the second story of 218 E. Main St., where one occupied apartment was destroyed. The offices of Tiede, Metz and Downs attorney Al Schlitt, and the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County, located in the first story of 218 E. Main St. were also damaged. “As devastating as the physical loss was, we were able to get back up and running the next Monday,” Julie Garber, program director for the C o m m u n i t y Foundation, said. According to a letter on the Foundation’s website by Executive Director Patty Grant, most of their office is damaged beyond repair by smoke and water. However, their electronic documents are backed up every night to an off-site server, and fire- and waterproof safes protected many of their paper documents. Garber said that the Foundation’s number has been rerouted to Grant’s cell phone, and that they are working out of Grant’s home until a new location can be determined. Moderate smoke and heat damage was reported at 222 E. Main St., which houses the office of Terrill and Company on the first floor. The occupants of three apartments in the second story of 226 E. Main St. were evacuated, as well as those at 228 E. Main St. Those occupants returned the same day. “The fire department did a very pro-

fessional job and made sure everyone was safe, and saved the building,” Ken Bergman, owner of 226 E. Main St., said. Bergman’s building suffered some slight structural damage, broken windows, and smoke damage. He currently has air scrubbers in the building to help remove the smoke odor, which are helping the situation. According to Bergman, the American Red Cross was on-scene during the fire to offer assistance to displaced tenants. “They were there in the middle of the street, ready to help,” he said. The Town of North Manchester’s Facebook page listed the phone number of Chrissy Baggett of the American Red Cross for those affected by the fire to contact for help. “I have assist five different families,” she said. “We provide financial assistance for those who are displaced, who don’t have family or friends that they can stay with while their apartment is being revamped. We can replace diapers, formula, and things like that, and we can also help them move forward. If they decide not to move back into the apartment, we can find resources to help them locate a place.” Baggett also said that the ARC helped provide meals for the firemen at the scene, and that McDonald’s donated coffee and breakfast foods for them.

Formal charges filed in stabbing ...continued from the front page A preliminary plea of not guilty was filed on Wuensch’s behalf. He also informed the court that he would be hiring a private counsel. Trial dates have been set for 9 a.m. April 11-12, 2017, in Wabash Circuit Court. A status hearing was set for 1 p.m. Dec. 12. Wuensch is suspected in a stabbing 32year-old Wabash man in the lower abdomen.

The incident took place shortly after 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25. The incident took place near the intersection of Cass and Colerain streets. The victim was taken to Parkview Wabash Hospital before being taken by medical hospital to a Fort Wayne hospital. The victim has since been released from the hospital, according to Wabash Police Capt. Matt Benson, Wabash City

Police Department’s Public Information Officer.

Frances Ada (Gibble) Wright, 92, of Wabash, died at 11:35 am, Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2016 at Wellbrooke of Wabash in Wabash. She was born July 29, 1924, in Astoria, Ill., to Addison and Ada (Bowman) Gibble. After growing up on a farm, Frances graduated from Graham Hospital School of Nursing in 1950, and in 1952 from the University of Minnesota, earning a Bachelor of Science degree with Distinction. She was the medical clinical instructor of the Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing for four years. She married Eldon Wright, and lived in North Manchester about 20 years before moving to Wabash, where she retired after 20 years of staff nursing at Wabash County Hospital. In her retirement, Frances took pleasure in helping others, especially the neglected and needy. She delivered Meals on Wheels to shut-ins for years, and assisted in Friends In Service Here (F.I.S.H.). She was a courageous woman, often pushing herself to physical extremes. She did bicycling Century (100-mile) tours, swimming, ice skating at Lukens Lake, and white-water rafting of the Chattooga River. (That’s not to mention ziplining. At least there was no skydiving — that we know of.) She swam and worked out at the Wabash YMCA almost daily, as she believed “Your health is your wealth.” Even as osteoporosis stooped her shoulders, it never took away her great joy in exercise, especially hiking and bike riding outdoors. She never stopped learning. She took courses in everything from Spanish to digital photography, and delightedly read piles of books from the library, curled up in her favorite sunny room. She traveled to many different Elderhostel (now Road Scholar) programs, sampling everything from marine biology to tai chi and kayaking. She is survived by two children, Renée Wright of Fort Wayne, and Glen (Lisa) Wright of Sierra Vista, Ariz., and sister, Grace Hartman of Macomb, Ill. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Stauffer Gibble and Russell Gibble, and sister, Beulah Dohner. A celebration honoring her rich, joy-filled life will be held at the Wabash County Historical Museum, Wabash, on Friday, Dec. 16, from 9-11 am in the Porter Room. Friends are welcome to stop in and share memories. Preferred memorial is Animal Shelter of Wabash County. Other suggested ways to remember her: go on a bike ride, feed backyard birds, or enjoy Moose Tracks ice cream on a summer evening. Arrangements by Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service, Wabash.

OBITUARIES Rita Jo Zerbe, 64 Teacher & wedding planner March 13, 1952 – Nov. 23, 2016

Rita Jo Zerbe age 64 of Schoolcraft, Mich., began her heavenly walk peacefully after a “beautiful fight” with ALS on Nov. 23, 2016. Although the fight was difficult, her last breath was pain-free surrounded by her immediate family; her greatest joy. She was born to her earthly journey on March 13, 1952, in Muncie, daughter of the late Herbert Lowell and Ellen (Bidgood) Shroyer. Rita resided in Schoolcraft, Mich., since 2005. Prior to moving to Schoolcraft she lived in Warsaw, for three years, Sturgis, Mich., from 1996-2002 and her early life was spent in Dunkirk, where she was a graduate of Dunkirk High School with the class of 1970. She furthered her education at Taylor University in Upland, where she received a bachelor’s degree in art. On Aug. 19, 1972, she married Steven Zerbe at the Bethel Methodist Church in Dunkirk. Rita was very artistically creative in nearly anything she did. She owned and operated from her home a full scale wedding planning business. She could personally take care of every detail of a wedding from making the dress to baking and decorating the cake. She was also an art teacher. Rita enjoyed teaching and wedding planning but her true passion was being the loving and dedicated wife, mother and grandmother she was. She and Steve were not just a happily married couple but a true team together serving nine churches in California, Michigan and Indiana. She was a member of the Journey Church in Caledonia, Mich., and she enjoyed gardening, flowers, her artwork and loved sharing her talents with her grandchildren that she so dearly cherished. She is survived by her loving and dedicated husband of 44 years: Steve; two daughters: Allison (Ben) Davis of Battle Creek, Mich., and Erica (Jon) Allen of Caledonia, Mich.; five grandchildren: Brennan Davis, twins Sydney and Makenzie Allen, Micah and Emma Davis; step-mother: Carolyn Shroyer of Dunkirk; five sisters: Resa Robertson of Greencastle, Leslie (Tom) Forrest of Muncie, Joy (Bruce) Gregg of Ossian, Mary Kay (Mike) Sterret of Ossian, and Julie (George) Paulk of Arlington, Texas; four brothers: Lowell “Butch” (Pam) Shroyer of Indianapolis; Paul Huffman of Muncie; Chuck (Susan) Huffman of Dunkirk, and Stephen (Beth) Shroyer of Brownsburg, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and special aunt: Carroll Shroyer. Visitation was Sunday, Nov. 27, at the Radiant Life Church, 907 N. Nottawa St. in Sturgis, Mich. Funeral services celebrating and honoring the life of Rita Jo Zerbe were Sunday at the church followed by the serving of a meal and continued time of fellowship in the church’s fellowship hall. Pastor Archie Nevins will officiate. A graveside service and burial was Monday, Nov. 28, at the Rankin Cemetery in Bunker Hill. A luncheon will follow the graveside service at the Loree Brethren Church on Strawtown Pike. The Hackman Chapel of Hackman Family Funeral Homes, 114 S. Nottawa St., Sturgis, Mich., is honored to be entrusted with the arrangements. The family suggests those wishing to make a memorial donation in Rita’s memory consider the ALS Association, Gift Processing Center, PO Box 6051 Albert Lea, MI 56007 or the American Diabetes Association, P.O. Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22311 or the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission, 448 N. Burdick St., Kalamazoo, MI 49007.

State donor network honors Wabash woman By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash native Tracy Driscoll is a lifesaving hero. On Jan. 7, 2013, Driscoll, a mother of three, died of a brain aneurysm and heart attack. “It was really sud-

den and unexpected,” daughter Haleigh Mann said. “She went to the Wabash hospital and immediately flown to Lutheran in Fort Wayne.” However, before her death, Driscoll chose to be an organ donor and with her passing, she saved three lives, including

that of Kirby Cochran, of Franklin. Almost four years after her death, on Jan. 2, 2017, the Indiana Donor Network and Donate Life will honor Driscoll and Cochran at the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif., with

the Donate Life float. The float’s 2017 theme is “Teammates in Life,” both of which Indiana’s honorees personify with their connection. While Cochran will ride the float, Driscoll will be memorialized in a floragraph, a portrait crafted from organic material, on

for me, I knew that’s what I wanted and that’s why I wrote the letter (to connect with Driscoll’s family).” In 2000, Cochran, a detective for the Johnson County S h e r i f f ’ s Department, was diagnosed with lupus. “I wasn’t sick really until 2012 when I was told I needed a liver transplant at a follow up doctor visit,” Cochran said. In November 2012, he was placed on the national transplant waiting list and could only wait and hope for a call. “Basically when you’re placed on the transplant list, you’re not given a timeframe. You’re given a number,” he said. “I was fairly high on the list because I was pretty sick at that time.” He waited for 52 days when the call came Jan. 8, 2013. “The day that it had happened I was actually working that day and I wasn’t feeling that well,” he said. “I was at the doctor’s office for a follow up visit when the phone call came and I missed the call. My wife got the call. My mom got the call. So they all started calling my phone and I was literally checking out of the doctor’s office.”

Cochran met the news with mixed emotions. “I was by myself, which was not good,” he said. “I did not have the support and it was really overwhelming. It’s overwhelming now as I think about it. “What goes through your mind when you’re waiting on a transplant is are you going to survive the entire time? Fiftytwo days is pretty quick. So for me it was a blessing. I moved up quick, but having said that I was also very sick, not sure if I was going to survive. “ S e c o n d a r i l y, there’s (the other) side of it,” he continued. “This lady (Driscoll) had to pass for me to survive and she left a lot behind. So it’s a rollercoaster of emotions, honestly.” A day prior, in the northern part of the state, Mann and her family had only just begun to grieve when they were asked to make a decision, according to Mann. “Honestly you can’t really prepare for anything like that,” Mann said. “It was very sudden. When we got the news, I couldn’t fathom it. It just wasn’t real. “But then we met some people from the Indiana Donor (continued on page 31)

Squires wins county wrestling crown By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

For the second year in a row, the Manchester Squire wrestling team is the Wabash County Champion. Manchester went 30 against the other Wabash County schools and 4-1 on the day. Match scores were not available. North Posey was 5-0 on the day, while Southern Wells was 32, Northwestern was 2-3, and Bremen was 0-5. Among the county schools, Wabash went 2-1, defeating Northfield and Southwood, and was 2-3 on the day. Northfield defeated Southwood to go 1-2 against the county, and 2-3 overall, while Southwood was 0-3 against county school and 2-3 overall. Manchester also defeated Southern Wells and lost to North Posey, while North Posey and Southern Wells both beat Wabash. Northfield defeated Bremen, but lost to Northwestern, and Southwood beat Northwestern and Bremen. I n d i v i d u a l l y, Manchester had five Wabash County champions in Tyce Rooney (113), Jackson Mathias (126), Collin Meggison (145), Delton Moore (160), and Quentin Moore (170).

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com Manchester’s girls’ basketball team appeared to be headed to their seventh win of the season Saturday night at Northfield, but the Norse outscored the Squires 18-3 in the fourth quarter to pull out a 46-40 Three Rivers Conference win. The win put Northfield at 5-2, and 2-0 in the TRC, while Manchester dropped to 6-3, and 1-1 in conference play. “At halftime, we told them to go out and be aggressive and just hit their shots. Sometimes they struggle with that,” Northfield coach Melissa Allen said. “After this game, I think it’s in their heads that they know they can do it.” Northfield led 13-11 after the first quarter, but the Squires, led by four first half 3-pointers each from Cierra Carter and Kennedy Fierstos took a 29-21 halftime lead. Manchester was able to maintain its lead in the third quarter, closing it out with a 37-28 advantage, but the fourth quarter was a different story. Northfield scored the first 15 points of the quarter, including two 3-pointers from Ariel Dale, and one each from Ally Keaffaber and Jacklyn Peas to take a 41-37 lead with 1:25 left in the game. Kalcie Thomson made it 43-37 with a 19-foot jump shot with 1:11 left, but the Squires kept it close. Rae Bedke hit a 3pointer with 32 seconds remaining to score Manchester’s first points in over eight minutes to cut it to 43-40. But the Norse hit three free throws over the last 25 seconds to get the win. “Basketball is a weird game, a tough game to play, but it’s a

fun one to be a part of,” Manchester coach Jake Everett said. “We were able to jump out on them early, then in the second half, we shot a couple, and they didn’t go in. Then Northfield hit the shots, and it shows just how quickly momentum can change.” Northfield was led in scoring by Dale with 13 points, followed by Peas with 11, Keaffaber with nine, Melanie Beery with six, Kelcie Thomson with four, and Abbey Ross with three. Carter led the Squires with 17 points, while Fierstos added 12. Sydney Day had six, Kerigan Hatfield had three, and Kiera Hatfield had two.

State donor network honors Wabash woman ...continued from page 28 Network and they were so nice and they made sure they weren’t pushing too hard, saying, ‘Hey you should donate her organs.’ They were really great, listened to us and we had a lot of questions about the process and organ donation in general and they answered all of our questions.” Driscoll also donated her two kidneys to two other individuals. The representatives remained in contact with Mann ever since the donation. “I still am in contact with one of the ladies that was actually there that night,” Mann said. “I’ll text her or call her if I need anything, any support. … Because of organ donation, I have an extended family and I’ve met so many great people because of what we decided to do.” About three months after, Mann received a letter from Cochran’s family. “After the donation process, they’re really great about making sure that the donor family and the

recipient family, they both can consent and saying, ‘Hey we want to meet or want to have contact,’” Mann said. “So first we got a basic letter saying how old he was and where he lived and then we got a letter from him a couple months later.” Organ donation was important to Driscoll, which her daughter learned while applying for a driver’s license at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. “They ask you, ‘Do you want to be a donor?’ and being 15or 16-years-old, you’re like I don’t know,” Mann said. “So I look at Mom and she was like, ‘Yes. Absolutely. I’m an organ donor. You should be an organ donor.’ “So on the way home, we had a conversation of why she was a donor and why it’s important to be an organ donor. So then, for me, when they approached us, that was a no-brainer because I knew that is what she wanted.” Although her mother is gone, Mann said her mother still lives

on in those that she helped save. “She’s still living on in Kirby and those other two gentlemen,” she said. “There’s really no words that can describe how amazing that feels.” In honoring donors and recipients at the Tournament of Roses Parade, the message Donate Life and the Indiana Donor Network are sending is clear, Cochran said. “Everyone needs to talk about organ donation,” he e x p l a i n e d . “Secondarily, it’s so easy to become an organ donor that it’s almost a brainless thing to do. It’s 22 people a day die because there are not enough organ donations going on. It’s kind of an unacceptable number when there are probably 22 of us in this room. “So I would just encourage everyone to help stop that wait. That 52-day wait. That one-year wait. That five-year wait, because for me I’m probably one of the shortest waits that I know of around. So I would just encourage folks to get out and

register to donate. If you have questions about it or apprehensive about it, talk to your family about it because (Driscoll and Mann’s decision) is a prime example. “She saved my life, he continued. “There’s no other way to say it. She gave me the gift of life and this is my way to pay it back.” Even from the giving side, organ donation is a blessing, Mann added. “For Kirby it was saving his life as well as the other two gentlemen,” she said, “but as a donor family, losing my mom

was the hardest thing that I ever experienced and the comfort that the donation has brought to our family and the level of support that we had now that we also had four years ago, I don’t know where I’d be today if I didn’t have this. “It gave me hope. It gave me a chance to see the positive at such a tragic time. Organ donation was not only a blessing to Kirby and his family. It was also a blessing to ours. “Please have those conversations with your family,” Mann continued, “because

you never know when something tragic is going to happen and be prepared in know-

ing you’ll be making the right decision in honoring their decision to be a donor.”

NORTH MANCHESTER — Seventy Christmas trees, a visit with Santa Claus and his reindeer, face painting, a bazaar, and a free cocoa bar were enough to bring hundreds of visitors to Timbercrest Senior Living Community’s Festival of Trees Saturday. “We had an incredible turn-out,” T i m b e r c r e s t Community Relations Coordinator Carrie Vineyard said. “Every year, the event has gotten bigger, and this year was just amazing. It was busy the entire time.” Festival-goers were greeted with a program and map of the campus and roamed the halls filled with Christmas trees donated and decorated by local businesses and organizations. “We want to thank all of the tree sponsors, because without them, this wouldn’t be an event,” Vineyard said. “We are very thankful with how gracious they are with their time and resources. “The residents really enjoy seeing all of the trees throughout the week,” she continued. “It just a lot of fun to see people looking at the trees.”

Timbercrest was transformed into a winter wonderland in just five days, which can prove to be a daunting task. “We try to avoid Christmas things until after Thanksgiving because we have residents and their families getting together for Thanksgiving, so we don’t want to push it until the next Monday,” Vineyard explained. “We have a great staff of people who all pitch in and make it so wonderful with how much work goes into this event.” Vineyard said some of the highlights of the day were the facepainting booth, which she said had a line the entire day, along with 300 bells that were handed out to children. “We ran out, so that shows us how many children came through and enjoyed the day,” she added. Vineyard and the Timbercrest staff are appreciative of not just those who supported the event, but the Timbercrest and North Manchester community as well. “This is a great way to have the residents’ families and friends come visit and spend time walking through our campus,” she said. “We are so thankful for a community that supports

such a great event. There is no cost, and it’s just a great time to have people come and enjoy the day. Sometimes people are strapped for money, or just out shopping for their kids, and we are thrilled to offer such a

great event that is fun for kids and also adults.” Timbercrest Senior Living Community hosts the annual Festival of Trees the first Saturday of December.

County tourism increases, study shows By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County tourism generated more than $9.8 million in total taxes in 2015, up 15.3 percent from 2014. That’s what a new Economic Impact of Tourism in Wabash County study showed, Christine Flohr, executive director of tourism for Visit Wabash County told Wabash County Commissioners on Monday morning. She also was to appear before the Wabash

County Council on Monday night. The 15.3 percent increase, according to the study is well above the 2.7 percent median increase for other Indiana counties. Flohr told The Paper of Wabash County that she credits the increase in tourism to “a more focused and collaborative marketing effort.” “By utilizing analytical data garnered from our website, we know where to target and what campaigns to run to a particular demographic,” she said.”

The study also showed: — Federal tax collections resulting from tourism in Wabash County included income taxes and social security and totaled $4 million in 2015. — State & local tax collections totaled $5.9 million, including $2.6 million in sales taxes contributing to state collections and $2.1 million in property taxes supporting the local tax. — Wabash County’s 2015 Tourism Spend per Capita Ranking is #24 of the 92 counties

in the state. — Visitors spent $14.6 million on shopping, $13.9 million on food & beverages, $5.9 million on entertainment/ recreation and $4.2 million on lodging. — Of every tourism dollar spent in Wabash County in 2014, 67 cents ‘stayed’ local and led directly to the gross county product of Wabash County. — Approximately 8 percent of all jobs in Wabash County are supported by tourism. — Tourism is the 5th largest industry

(4th not including government) in Wabash County (by jobs). — In addition to hotel occupancy levies, Wabash County tourism activity generated $81,000 in Indiana corporate taxes, $382,000 in Indiana personal income tax and $2.1 million in local property taxes during 2015. — If Wabash County tourism did not exist, each of the 14,084 households in the county would have to pay an additional $416 per year in taxes to maintain current state and local tax lev-

Wabash firefighters receive training By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com About two dozen Wabash firefighters received training in stabilizing vehicles and extricating victims at accident scenes. Representatives of 5 Alarm Fire & Safety Equipment, Delafield, Wis., worked with the local firefighters throughout the day Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Wabash County Fairgrounds. Firefighter Mitch Meyer arranged the training. “We had a classroom session on stabilization and airbags and vehicle construction,” he said. “Now we’re going to cut up (accident scenes). There are different scenarios.” There were four accident scenes for the firefighters to practice with. “We train about three times per year per shift behind the fire station,” Meyer said. “This is something new. I don’t know that we ever did something like this.” He said that local firefighters also receive training at 5 Alarm’s Wisconsin location, where they

receive experience with about any type of vehicle that they can come across during a regular shift. Rick’s Auto delivered the vehicles used in demonstration, while Brainard Excavating placed them in the various scenarios. Following the firefighters’ training, Meyer said, Rick’s Auto’s workers will use the same vehicles for their own training.

els. “Studies such as these are an effective way for tourism industry partners to evaluate the value and impact of our efforts toward driving tourism dollars to our county and region,” Flohr said. “This is essentially our report card, if you will; a snapshot reflecting the relevancy and importance of the tourism industry to Wabash County.” The economic importance of tourists to a community extends well beyond core hospitality and transportation sectors, Flohr said, noting that tourism economics offers a solution to the efforts of destination marketing organizations such as Visit Wabash County and to industry associations that marries rigorous methodology and compelling communication to raise the profile of tourism as an economic engine.

“The analytical data garnered from the Economic Impact of Tourism report is critical to measuring the results of the efforts of the Visit Wabash County Board of Directors and staff,” said Flohr. “It serves as assurance to the City of Wabash and to Wabash County government that their return on investment in this organization is evident and improving the economic health and vitality of Wabash County.” The study was conducted by Rockport Analytics via a co-op program organized by the Indiana Office of T o u r i s m Development. Wabash County was among 19 other counties to utilize the program. The study, which began in 2016, used data collected from the complete 2015 calendar year.

Triplett takes title: Isaac Triplett won the men’s open singles title at the 2016 Farmers Bank & Trust Turkey Tournament, on Nov. 18—20 at the Howard County Indoor Tennis Center in Greentown. Triplett won the men’s open sing title without dropping a set. He is more proud of several of his students that he personally teaches tennis too as a professional tennis instructor. Rob Ford won both the 14 and 16 and under age divisions in singles. Rob currently played number two singles for Wabash and has set higher goals for his tennis, which Triplett believes he can obtain. Also, playing in their very first tennis tournaments were Kylie Leland and Nicholas Ewing. Both were justifiably nervous, but showed great determination in both of their two matches each, plus had great fun and gained valuable experience. One of Triplett’s passions in life is to develop young tennis players not only to become great players, but to become well rounded individuals by using tennis as a vehicle to teach life lessons. All three of these young players will become great players, but moreover great people. Photo provided

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana health officials announced Tuesday, Nov. 29, that Women, Infants and Children programs in all 92 counties are now using electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards instead of paper checks, streamlining the WIC shopping experience. The statewide rollout, which began in Johnson County in February, allows WIC participants anywhere in Indiana to shop for groceries by swiping a new EBT card and entering a personal identification number (PIN). The new card makes shopping for nutritious groceries simpler and less time-consuming for the nearly 50 percent of new mothers across Indiana who

Whetstone. “Women who meet income guidelines are eligible for WIC benefits as soon as they become pregnant, and the EBT card makes utilizing WIC benefits more convenient than ever.” Indiana WIC provides healthy food, including fruits and vegetables, from

more than 650 grocery stores throughout Indiana to eligible Hoosiers each month. The EBT cards provide convenience and ease of use to not only WIC clients, but stores as well. Participants no longer have to use paper checks, and the cards allow them to buy approved items as needed instead of all at once. More than 150,000 WIC clients are now using EBT cards, and all clients will be converted by the end of the year as current paper checks expire.
