Trail opponents to amend complaint By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Graduation 2017

COLUMBIA CITY — Opponents to the Wabash River Trail have until Monday, July 3, to submit an amended appeal to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. The appeal is in regard to the DNR’s approval of a permit for a boat ramp in Lagro, just east of Ind. 524. It was filed by Glenn and Sheila Butcher, who are spearheading a campaign against the trail. The Butchers, in their appeal, cited several things in relation to the bridge ramp, including the fact that the work on the ramp was done prior to the WRT having received a DNR permit. However, Sandra L. Jensen, an administrative law judge for the Natural Resources Commission, informed the Butchers that many of the items cited in the complaint deal in an area in which she has no jurisdiction. Many of the items, she said, are enforcement issues, something the Natural Resources

Commission has no control over. She also suggested that the Butchers hire a private engineer to see if the ramp was properly put in. WRT President Amy Ford told Jensen that work on the ramp is not fully complete, and that some work will need to be done once river levels drop. Jensen scheduled another hearing for the Butchers and the WRT for 12:30 p.m. Thursday, July 13, at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources District 2 Conservation Officer Headquarters in Columbia City. At the same time, Jensen will consider a motion filed my WRT attorney Mark Frantz to dismiss the Butcher’s complaint. The Butchers told The Paper of Wabash County that they knew action would not be taken in the hearing and that it would not be able to show facts related to their concerns. “From the beginning, we just want to make sure that land owners’ rights and the wildlife (continued on page 4)

Ryan Baker has announced his intentions to seek the Republican nomination for Wabash County Sheriff in the May 2018 Primary Election. “It’s something I’ve been interested in for years,” Baker told The Paper of Wabash County on Monday, June 5. “I feel that over the last 16 years that I’ve gained some pretty decent knowledge of the working of the sheriff ’s department, between the jail, the road, working with the reserves. RYAN “At the end of the I think I can make a positive change in law enforcement in Wabash County.” A lifelong Wabash County resident, Baker is a 16-year veteran with the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, serving the past four years as a detective with the Wabash County Drug

Task Force. “My top priority will be to address the drug problem,” Baker said. “We need to continue coming up with new ideas and collaborating with other law enforcement agencies and community groups who are fighting the same battle on different fronts. “As sheriff, my primary responsibility will be to enforce the laws in our county. But I would also like to work with schools, local businesses, rehabilitation centers and others to focus on what we can do to prevent illegal drug use in the first BAKER place. We need to do everything that we can to educate the younger generation to prevent them from going down the same path that some of their family and friends have.” Baker gives between 20 and 30 drug education classes per year in local schools, including those (continued on page 4)

The Alpha Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Education Honor Society met Saturday, May 6, at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Columbia City. The local chapter includes members from Grant, Huntington, Wabash, and Whitley Counties. President Roxanne Thomas opened the meeting by sharing

Helen Steiner Rice’s poem “Widen My Vision?” and welcoming members and guest Jo Ann Manes, Alpha Epsilon State President. A buffet breakfast, prepared by the hostess committee of Lori Heuer, Mindy Bloomfield, Joyce Easterday, Kirsten Jines, and Barb Overdeer, was enjoyed by the members. Vice President Sue Corbin presented the Founders’ Day program, assisted by Karen Bandelier and Jessica Sheckler. Founders for Delta Kappa Gamma international (begun 88 years ago), Alpha Epsilon state (begun 79 years ago), and Alpha Zeta chapter (founded 69 years ago) were remembered in this tribute.

Mary Sell (40 years), Peggy Ransom (50 years). Additional honors were Donna Myer (40 years) and Pat Hauenstein (25 years). Jo Ann Manes compared members in our society to a box of rocks.

By putting them all together with a purpose, they become a path for others to succeed. In chapter business, the minutes of the March meeting and the treasurer’s report were approved and filed. Various committee reports were given. Barb Overdeer has member forms for prospective members.

Although we are all heading in different directions, we have one thing in common. “As we ‘go,’ we are all going to feel out of our comfort zone.” Heath reminded her peers, though, that while they prepare to open doors, think of others while walking into the future. “Think of a person who has positively

impacted your life, someone who has been a blessing to you,” she said. “Maybe this person has encourage you through a difficult time, challenged you to be a better person or added tremendous joy to your life.” The 2017 graduating class should surround themselves with people who support and believe in them, Dawes said. “People who don’t try to drag you down to

He has been a member of the

Not doing the exact same job every day. “Every call is different. Every one.” Locally, Baker serves on several boards and committees. He is a member of the newly formed Wabash County ReEntry Court board of directors, which provides support and services to those released on parole in an effort to reduce recidivism. He serves on the advisory council of Hands of Hope, which provides support to victims of domestic abuse. He is also a longstanding member of the AACTION board. The mission of the AACTION group “is to identify the needs of the area regarding alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and abuse, monitor programs which are recipients of Drug Free Indiana monies, and act as a resource in Wabash County for alcohol, tobacco, and other drug information.” Baker’s personal interests include hunting and fishing, woodworking and spending time with his wife Gina (Kelley) Baker and their extended family. More information about Ryan Baker and his campaign can be found at www.bakerforsheriff.com and the Ryan Baker for Sheriff Facebook page. Baker is the second person to publicly announce his candidacy for Wabash County sheriff. Ryan Short announced his plans last week. Steve Hicks expressed plans on Facebook, but has yet to make a public announcement.

agree on what is “right.” However, “as we start new chapters in our lives, I think it’s important to remember that we always have a choice,” she continued. “We can choose to be a part of the problem, the part that causes hate, or we can choose to be part of the solution, the part that brings about the good. There’s always going to be an easy way out, a way that’s a quick fix, but a way that you know is wrong.” The challenge of making these important life decisions will help the graduating

class grow, according to Heath. “Who you become while going through a door matters more than which door you go through,” Heath said. “We will face open doors throughout our whole lives. Some will be big while others will be small. … Every moment has a door and we can find them anywhere. Open doors start right where you are.” Dawes encouraged her peers to be confident in themselves and their choices. “Chase your dreams and live like nothing is out of your reach,” she

said. “If you want something go get it. It won’t always be easy. In fact, it’s probably never going to be easy. “But,” she added, quoting Thomas Jefferson, “‘if you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.’” Dawes continued inspiring her peers to become amazing individuals. “Strive for greatness in whatever you decide to do with your life,” she said. “Be great. Be the best friend, son or daughter, doctor, mechanic, teacher or

business owner that you can be. Give your all to what you choose to invest your time in, and do what you love. “Life is too short to chase someone else’s dream or pursue a career that doesn’t make you happy. After all, it’s your life. Do something with it that you think matters.”

Northfield seniors receive diplomas By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Austin Trump gave the valedictorian speech Saturday night, June 3, at Northfield High School. But, in the speech, he admitted the honor would not have been possible without the help of many. He credited his teachers, coaches and even his classmates in helping to make the accomplishment possible. Trump cited teachers at both Metro North Elementary School and Northfield High School for making differences in the students’ lives. “As a Polar Bear, none of us will forget our principal, the late Mr. Mark Coppler, who brought energy to the school by rewarding students with Polar Pride certificates and pizza with the principal days,” he said. “Also, teachers like Mr. Cussen, who constantly challenged us to learn and grow as a student in math and U.S. history. My friends who were Wildcats still talk about kickball games with Mr. Baer and Mr. Brubaker, who were just as loved in the classroom as they were at recess.” He also compliment-

ed coaches Brandon Baker, Patrick Hopkins, Eric Terrell and Dick Leming for helping the students along the road of life. “With all of Mr. Leming’s wisdom, he knows it takes surrounding yourself with successful teammates to create a successful team,” Trump said. At Northfield, he said, “teachers like Mrs. Keffaber allowed artistically challenged guys like myself with the initials ART to feel like the next Picasso. Teachers like Mrs. Myers, who we know is already tearing up tonight because she is going to miss her favorite class. A teacher like Mr. Votaw, who not only spent the year teaching us physics and chemistry, but even while fighting cancer demonstrated his love of teaching by rarely missing ballgames to cheer us on and by returning to teach his classes earlier than expected.” The class of 2017, Trump said, “had a healthy competitiveness over the years in regard to academic and athletics.” “It all started back when it was the Polar Bears versus the Wildcats,” he continued. “We were the last

MHS graduates 110 seniors By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — More than 100 members of the Manchester High School Class of 2017 participated in the school’s commence-

ment ceremony Friday, June 2. In addition to the traditional “Pomp and Circumstance” of the ceremony, graduating senior Carmah Parr serenaded a packed gymnasium with her rendition of Randy

Newman’s “Almost There”; the MHS Concert Band featured senior Lexi Webb on trumpet in “Trumpeter’s Lullaby” by Leroy Anderson; and the MHS Choir senior members performed Pinkzebra’s

“Fly Away Home”. Five seniors spoke to their class and the friends and family gathered for the occasion: Student Council President David McAtee, CoValedictorian Karly Eichenauer, Senior Class President Tyler McNall, Senior Council member Elizabeth Michel and

C o - Va l e d i c t o r i a n Hallie Sorg. In his welcome, titled “If You Never”, McAtee encouraged his classmates to tap into their potential and take advantage of the skills they learned at MHS. “Think of it like a match. A match has a whole lot of untapped potential. Just one lit-

tle match has the power to start a fire that burns a whole forest down or light a single candle. But if that match just stays in the box, if it is never picked up and lit, then it will never do anything. All it will be is a whole lot of wasted potential,” he said. “It is the same in our lives. You will never

know what it is that you can do, unless you take action… If you never seize the moments that you are fortunate enough to have, you will never see a change in your world.” S i m i l a r l y, Eichenauer called upon her classmates to let their light shine and (continued on page 7)

Northfield seniors receive diplomas ...continued from page 5 to go make America great again.” Salutatorian Catherine Tracy told her classmates “life is all about perspective, and how one person in this room looks at a situation compared to how another person in this room looks at the same situation will mostly be different.” Success, she said, shouldn’t be measured by trophies, wealth, medals or good grades. Rather, she continued, “by personal satisfaction and happiness, overcoming the obstacles, disappointments and failures, and

where you are now compared to where you were when you started.” “Those qualities have shown up many times with our class over the years,” Tracy noted, citing a variety of successes from making it into college or finding a job, learning a new trade or skill, beating a tumor, raising funds for the inclusive park, to “making it through four years of high school just to have an emergency surgery to get your appendix out the very last day of school, donating bone marrow to save your

brother’s life, or finding ways to make your sister and guardian angel proud each and every day, each of us trekked through the valley to climb the mountain and have experienced trail and error, disappointments, satisfactions, and joys along the way.” Tracy thanked the teachers and administrators for investing their time in the class, as well as her family and friends for being by her side every step of the way. To her classmates, she said, “I’m proud of

all of you, and it is an honor and privilege to stand up here today and speak on your behalf. Whatever you choose to do in life, attach your own purpose and meaning from a perspective that means something to you, and your success will follow.” In all, 67 students became the newest alumni of Northfield High School, receiving diplomas from school administrators. Each class member also was offered a personalized Bible as a gift from the Speicher family of Urbana, in memory of Harold Speicher.

believe in themselves. “’Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us’,” she said, quoting Marianne Williamson. “Even though it’s been a little over 3 years since I first heard this quote, I still hear the same message I did when I was a freshman: Be true. Be present. Be confident. “When Williamson asks “Who are you not to be?”, it’s almost like the question we were asked as children, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s a question that beckons limitless expanse of freedom to live up to our own potential and do anything we want. For some of us, it might be the choice we can finally make of whether we want to read a book or not. Or, it could be the chance to decide whether or when to have children in the future. This opportunity to follow your own desires and be the person you want to be is inside of everyone.” McNall’s speech, “Finding Joy”, highlighted how member of the Class of 2017 have found joy in helping others through various events at MHS. “Everyday there is going to be an opportunity to do something to make your life and your world better. It may be helping out a neighbor, inspiring someone younger than you, or building a community,” he said. “Tonight - we graduate. Remember the feeling you have right now. Use this feeling to fuel you, as you drive down the road ahead and explore your potential. While you’re going down that path it may be bumpy at times, so remember to bring a good attitude, a spare tire, and to always remember to find what makes you happy.” Michel offered advice to the Class of 2017 in her speech, “Words to Live By”. “Growing up our role models would recite these phrases that we would hear, but we really didn’t listen to. Things such as ‘can’t never did anything’, or ‘If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all’ or the all-time favorite of students in Mr. Craft’s 5th grade class, ‘Patience is a virtue’,” she said.

“Here’s my words to live by: Continue to work hard and follow your passion. Today marks the start of a whole new adventure in our lives, but that work ethic shouldn’t stop. Find the calling that fits you. Be dedicated to what you do. Work harder than anyone else.” Last of the student speakers, Sorg encouraged her classmates to slow down and really listen: to their friends, to their family and to the world around them. “Before we leave today, we need to really listen. Listen to your best friend’s laugh. Remember how the Jungle sounds. Remember Ms. Stone’s ‘Holy Toledo, Batman’ or the shenanigans and laughter of the office ladies. After today, we are going to find new sounds that will become part of you and new people to share them with,” she said. “So as we move forward we might not understand everything that is happening in our lives, but one day we will look back and it will all make sense. As our lives advance into each new chapter, we need to look back and remember all of the wonderful things we

4-H Grows Communication: Reflecting on her 10 years in 4-H, Elizabeth stated, “Through 4-H, I had the opportunity to practice and grow communication skills which helped us grow stronger communication skills within our family. I had to work in the barn with my brothers and parents and communicate who would feed and water the animals. We also communicated about doing what was best for the animals so that things would run smoothly.” Looking to the future, Elizabeth knows that the communication skills learned through 4-H and as an FFA Officer will enable her to be a better employee in the future. “Through my experiences, I learned ways to communicate with a boss and co-workers. When asked why youth should join 4H, Elizabeth reiterated that 4-H grows life skills and more. “My best 4-H memories are working with my brothers to get ready for shows. 4-H is a good activity to grow closer as a family.”

4-H Grows Communication: Through 4-H judging, Erica learned that it wasn’t just a project or your work that captured a judge’s attention. “To do your best, you have to be able to communicate and to explain your project to the judge. Communication can also be non-verbal. I have learned to watch body language when communicating with judges.” Sometimes through 4-H, members receive constructive criticism from judges. “Constructive criticism can be hard to hear. In 4-H, I had to learn ways to discuss my views and show my personality while communicating in a professional way. In a respectful way, you can show that you have a difference of opinion.” Erica just completed the cosmetology program at Heartland Career Center and has already started using the communication skills she grew in her 10 years in 4-H to communicate with her clients.

These activities allowed him to communicate with new people and to get comfortable in larger groups. “While I formed many new friendships with peers through 4-H, I also learned to communicate with adults. By watching adults come together and work hard to help the community, kids are given the opportunity to have open and honest communication with adults.” Asher believes that 4-H gives youth the chance to communicate with people of all ages. “As a Mini 4-H Day Camp Counselor, I learned that you can’t force young children to talk to you, especially if they are shy. You learn to watch verbal and non-verbal communication, be patient, and give them a chance to open up.”

I advocate that children should try as many different sports as possible till they find their niche. One of the great things about the sport of tennis is there is no time clock. That serves to teach children to never give up no matter the score. I relate this to life in the fact that we are often presented with obstacles in trying to reach or goals but give in too soon. On the tennis court you have to “grind out” a match sometimes, just like in life you have to “grind it out” when things aren’t going as you hoped. Perhaps courage doesn’t reside in having never lost, but in the courage to battle and grow as strong as possible during adversity.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

In 4-H, Hailey has grown creativity along with other skills. 4-H created a positive environment for her to grow by pushing and challenging her creativity. Most of Hailey’s creative skills were acquired through collaboration as she found herself in situations where she wasn’t sure what to do or what steps to take next. “In these times, I found and conversed with someone more experienced in the field in order to learn more, grow, and be inspired by them.” As Hailey looks to the future and prepares to enter the field of esthetics, she will use the positivity and creativity learned through 4-H to give a broader outlook when doing make-up. Hailey concluded, “It’s not hard to grow creatively when you’re doing something you love. I love 4-H, not just because of the animals or the projects but because of the people I meet and friends I make. 4H brings communities together.”

4-H Grows Creativity:

The 4-H woodworking project helped Nathanael grow creatively. “In woodworking, you can’t always do the same thing. You have to be creative in design and wood choice. You must also use new skills in routing and sanding to show progress each year you are in the project.” Nathanael learned early on that sometimes creativity is gained by learning from others. Through woodworking, he learned to seek help from a family friend. “I also learned creativity in the foods project. For foods, everyone in your grade is required to make a cake. You don’t want to be at judging with a project that looks the same as everyone else’s. Creativity means trying new ways of doing things. In foods, this was done by creating new combinations of foods and recipes.” In the future, Nathanael will use creativity as he seeks ways to help others through music therapy.

Ashely gained creativity through completion of 10 years in Consumer Clothing. Through this project, she had to be creative not only in her selection of clothing but also as she constructed her project scrapbook, which compiled through the years. “Judges could use the scrapbook to refer to previous project years, so I had to be able to show growth in style and creativity each year. Creativity was important as I wanted to pick an outfit stylish enough for me to wear yet modest enough to match an older judge’s taste.” Ashley also participated in the gift wrapping project. This project encouraged creativity focused around assigned themes. Through 4-H, Ashley learned that new ideas and creativity can put you ahead of others in project judging. 4-H has taught Ashley ways to be creative as she builds her resume and job skills in the future.

4-H Projects: Foods, Scrapbooking 4-H Grows Creativity: 4-H Scrapbooking provided Courtney with an opportunity to showcase her creative skills. “In scrapbooking, pages are added each year, so it was important for me to exhibit new and creative techniques in my scrapbook.” Courtney believes the creativity encouraged in her scrapbook writing will benefit her as she pursues a journalism degree at IU. “In the advanced scrapbooking division, the judges pushed for creative writing and for me to think outside the box. I can apply this creativity to my future in journalism. As I work toward writing articles for magazines, editors will want an article or view that is distinguished and stands out from the rest.” Courtney recalled walking through the Parade of Champions for winning scrapbooking as a favorite 4-H memory and knows the creativity she gained through 4H will carry forward as she pursues her future in journalism.

TORY: When Sonora Dodd’s mother died, her father was left to raise her and five younger brothers in the state of Washington. After hearing a Mother’s Day sermon, Sonora believed that father’s deserved equal recognition. Sonora talked to churches and her local YMCA campaigning for a day to recognize

fathers. The first Father’s Day was celebrated in the state of Washington in 1910. “However, the holiday had trouble gaining national recognition because many believed it was silly to domesticate fathers with gifts and flowers.” It was also believed that fathers don’t obtain the sentimental value mothers do. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge pushed for the holidays, encouraging state government to celebrate their fathers. The movement for a Father’s Day halted when another movement began to get rid of Mothers’ Day and Father’s Day and just celebrate a Parents’ Day. Then came the Great Depression and

war and this discussion, though not forgotten, took a “backseat” to things more important. Advertisers urged people to purchase gifts for fathers serving in the war and even though it was not yet a federal holiday, the idea was again brought to everyone’s attention. Finally, in 1972, Richard Nixon signed the document that made Father’s Day a nationally celebrated holiday.

Josh works at Micro Machine in Warsaw and Melissa is a stay-at-home mom. They enjoy the same normal things everyone else does and the kids get into the same normal scrapes that other kids do, the only difference is that Marcus and

Max both have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a terminal neuromuscular disease. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness.

Currently Marcus needs additions to his wheelchair to better enable him to participate in school and other activities and Max is in need of surgery to better prevent respiratory illness that puts a strain on his body and causes him to miss a great deal of school. Out-of-pocket costs for these items total just over $3,000, money the

family does not have. The family pulls together to do what they can to make life the best they can. Simple things take on new meaning and every day they are together is a blessing. Once members of the Congregational Christian Church heard their story, there was only one thing to do – pitch in and help them out. Funds for the medical costs will need to be

received by July 1 in order for the family to order the wheelchair and schedule the surgery before fall start of school. The Heavenly Hillbilly’s, a committee of the Mission Ministry is sponsoring the event and inviting the community to join them for lunch on June 11 between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Baked Potatoes with all the

toppings and a Taco Bar will be offered along with desserts and beverage with all proceeds going to the family. Proceeds from a Bake Sale will also go to the benefit. Donations may be received by the Congregational Christian Church Benevolence Fund for the family. Contact the church at 982-2882 for more information.

North Manchester remembers the fallen By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — The Town of North Manchester celebrated the memories of those who have died from war at a Memorial Day service Monday, May 29. Around 100 people gathered at Halderman Park on North Market Street for the town’s service, hosted by the American Legion Post No. 286 and led by Post Commander Johnny Wheeler. “This is a day to remember those who have fallen in honor,” Congregational Christian Church

Associate Pastor Sebrena Cline said before giving the invocation. Two veterans were honored at the ceremony: Steve Sutton (50 year Legion member) and Bill Bellinger (70 year Legion member). “All these names back here, they’re heroes because they signed that check that’s blank. If they had to, they would have given their life for this country. Some of them have,” Wheeler said, referring to the memorial behind him. “Anybody that joins and signs that blank check, in my book, is a hero.”

After a reading of the poem, “In Flanders Field”, veterans in attendance were honored as the Manchester Civic Band played the anthems of the various branches. Several active and retired Army, Navy and Air Force members were in attendance, and one each from the Marines and Coast Guard. The Post No. 286 Color Guard gave the 21-gun salute, and played taps. Congregational Christian Church Pastor JP Freeman gave the benediction. “As we remember this day those who have made the ulti-

mate sacrifice for our freedom, we think of how they have followed in the footsteps of [Jesus]. We thank you for those men and women who have laid down their lives in loving, selfless sacrifice for us, for our nation, for our freedom, for our families and for our children,” Freeman prayed. “A life given in love is never given in vain. Help us to honor their sacrifice by cherishing the freedoms they died to preserve.” Boy Scout Troop 715 also assisted with the ceremony.

Commissioners approve new jail stove By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

The kitchen at the Wabash County Jail will soon be cooking on a brand-new stove. “Over the last few years, on our inspection, our kitchen stove has not been to their satisfaction,” Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land said at the Monday, June 5, meeting of the county commissioners. Land told the commissioners that the lowest quote he received for a new stove and convection oven came in at $15,200.30, from C&T Design and Equipment of Fort Wayne. “That’s installed and everything taken care of,” Land said. The commissioners u n a n i m o u s l y approved the pur-

chase. “We’ve discussed it in the past and we’ve had some issues with it. This is a large expense for a stove, but for a commercial stove I don’t think we have much choice,” Chairman Scott Givens said. The board also approved a motion to designate more than $30,000 as a match for a grant to raze the old Roann school building. Roan ClerkTreasurer Bob Ferguson presented three options for matching funds to the commissioners: a 10 percent at $19,444, a 15 percent at $30,882, and a 20 percent at $43,750. “The higher the match, the better chance you have of getting the grant,” Ferguson said. “We would all like

to see it at the lowest, that’s where we want it. The problem with advertising it that way – if we advertise at 15 percent and later on we see that [the grants] were not going to be that competitive, we can always drop it to 10 percent. If we start it at 10 percent and then all of a sudden we find out that it is very competitive, we can’t take it up to the 15 percent from 10 percent because that would be more money out of our funds.” The commissioners previously agreed to be co-applicants for a grant through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) in order to have the funds to demolish the structure. The 15 percent match, at $30,882 per

entity for a $330,764 grant, was approved. “For purposes of moving ahead and for the hearing, I think 15 percent would be a good place to start, giving us the flexibility of moving to 10 if we see that it would be appropriate to do so,” Commissioner Barry Eppley said. Ferguson also recommended using Indianapolis-based SME to handle the actual razing of the facility. He offered two other options, BCA and Cisco Group. “SME developed the demolition specifications; I think they should carry on and go forward, unless they determine that it’s not appropriate work for them,” Eppley said. There will be a public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 27, at

the Roann Town Hall regarding the project. Additional news from the commissioners’ meeting included a board appointment and the weekly sheriff ’s report. The commissioners appointed Dan Dale,

who farms land south of the City of Wabash, to replace Don Roser on the Wabash County Board of Zoning Appeals. Sheriff Bob Land reported that, as of Monday, June 5, there

are 82 inmates in the Wabash County Jail, with an additional 49 being held in Miami County, five in Elkhart County and six in Wells County. He said that in the last week, there were 29 new book-ins.

Julie Wirtz, age 50, Peru, Indiana died on March 9, 2017 in the emergency room at the Community Howard Regional Hospital in Kokomo, Indiana at 9:30 p.m. She was born on May 9, 1966 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Ted and Barbara (Scott) Wirtz.

Wabash seniors take trip down memory lane ...continued from page 17 that Sam Hunt concert.” There are aspects of Wabash High that Guisewhite and Adams admitted they would miss. “We’ll miss being beside our peers everyday,” Adams said. “We’ll miss those unplanned, yet meaningful conversations with teachers and staff,” Guisewhite chimed in. “And who can forget chicken three days a week and cardboard pizza every Friday,” Adams added. However, jokes aside, “I think we can all say that we have staff and peers that truly care about us,” Adams continued. “We’re each going to take a moment, reflect on high school and look at the future.”

Each member of the graduating class faced one “universal truth” Friday night, according to Guisewhite. “The time has come for us to face one universal truth despite what background we come from, what sport we play or what friends we have,” she explained. “This truth is that this chapter in our lives is officially over. “As much as I have looked forward to this day, I can’t help but feel like a part of our lives is going to be missing when we all say goodbye to everything that is familiar to us.” With her valedictory, Guisewhite said she hoped it marked the beginning of change for her peers and would give them momentum toward wanting the best.

“Every day, people settle for okay relationships, okay jobs and an okay life,” she continued. “Why? Because okay is comfortable. But okay is not forever. It isn’t passionate, life changing or unforgettable. “Class of 2017, we can’t be known as the class that settles. It’s time to stop worrying about our grades, popularity and amount of likes or favorites we get on social media. At this moment, our potential is boundless. The ability to achieve greatness is just within our grasp. “Class of 2017,” she continued, “if there’s anything that you take from today, I encourage you to be brave, be bold and be you. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the very best.” As the newest Apache alumni said

goodbyes and prepared for the future, Adams said she understands if her entire class is feeling a little overwhelmed. “Wabash High School’s class of 2017 is about to go off on their own and part from this close-knit community and our emotions probably couldn’t be any more mixed up than this,” she continued. “Although someday, and it might not feel like it now, but in a few months or a year or maybe even a decade from now, we’re going to miss this day. Like how we remember times from our elementary years now, one day we will be sitting on our own porch steps and remembering all of these moments that we’ve had with our peers.” While the high school experience is different for everyone, Adams pointed out that their time spent in Wabash High’s halls have been a defining moment in all of their lives. “Thank you Class of 2017 for being a worthwhile and irreplaceable part of my life,” she continued. “We have grown together and now it’s time to move on together, but we should never forget having been together.”

LaFontaine News SHOES 4-H club meeting is on Thursday, June 15, 7 p.m. at the Somerset Community Building. COGRATULATIONS ZOE REED daughter of Andy and Tina McKinley Reed for making the Dean’s list of IUPI for the Spring of 2017. SUMMER FEEDING PROGRAM is at the LaFontaine United Methodist Church from June 528. Serving lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Children younger than 18years-old eat free. Adults’ cost is $3.25. They will be closed on July 3 and 4. THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE pertains to a Civil War veteran buried in the Old LaFontaine Cemetery. A committee was formed three years ago comprised mostly of LaFontaine area residents who have raised funds and worked to clean, restore, and repair graves in the Ashland and Old LaFontaine Cemetery. A lot has been accomplished through the diligent efforts of this group along with the funds raised for supplies and the hiring of a professional restorer who has cleaned, repaired, and re-set some of the more difficult and larger stones. This cemetery will be included in the historical tour during the LaFontaine Festival. Donations are still being accepted to further this effort and are greatly appreciated. “Conrad H. Lines if one of 25 Civil War veterans buried in old LaFontaine Cemetery. He was born on the 25th of May 1818 in Rush County, Ind., to Henry and Margaret ‘Peggy’ (Hackleman) Lines. Henry was born about 1773 in North Carolina and died the 17th of January 1836 in Rush County. Margaret was born on the 17th of December 1781 in Lincoln County, N.C. They moved to White Water country, Indiana Territory about 1807 (and) then to Rush County in 1821 and built a cabin on Little Flat Rock. Conrad’s ancestors immigrated to America from England about the year 1642 and settled in New Haven, Conn. He was one of 15 children, nine boys and six girls. His grandfather, Ezra Lines, was a soldier in the American Revolution under Gen. Israel Putnam. Conrad attended a six-month term at the J.J. Lines

School in Rush County, taught under Elijah Hackleman. In pioneer days, girls were rarely educated and the education system was in its infancy. “Conrad married Martha ‘Patsy’ Banister, daughter of John Banister, on Nov. 5, 1837, in Rush County. To this union was born one child, John H. Lines, on the 26th of July 1839. The family moved to Wabash County in 1847 and settled on a farm near Ashland. Their son died on Aug. 3, 1848, from falling out of a small tree that he was climbing at the age of 9. Conrad died Feb. 14, 1879, and Martha died 14 years later on Nov. 1, 1893. All three are buried together in the Old LaFontaine Cemetery. “Conrad served as postmaster for LaFontaine in 1861 and, according to census records, was also listed as a carpenter in 1850 with his property valued at $1,500. Twenty years later, the 1870 census listed his occupation as a farmer and he had gained some wealth as his property was valued at $7,000. Conrad enlisted in the Civil War on Oct. 1, 1861, and was commissioned as an officer in Company D, Indiana 47th Regiment, on Nov. 15, 1861. He was a 2nd Lieutenant. The 47th Indiana Infantry was organized at Anderson and Logansport, Ind., Nov. 2 through Dec. 13, 1861, and mustered in

A wreath was laid after the Memorial Day Services at LaFontaine Community Building on Monday, May 29. The community thanks all that attended and thanks all the service men and women who died or have served for all of us who live here in this great country. Photo provided for a three-year enlistment under the command of Col. James Richard Slack. The regiment was attached to 19th Brigade, Army of the Ohio, to January 1862 at which time Conrad served his country. They left Indiana for Bardstown, Ky., on Dec. 13, 1861, and then moved to Camp Wickliffe Kentucky and had duty there until February 1862. One of their betterknown engagements was the siege of Vicksburg, Miss. The regiment lost a total of 336 men during service, two officers and eight enlisted men killed or mortally wounded, four officers and 250 enlisted men died of disease. Conrad mustered out on the 28th of January 1862. “I will note some-

thing that may be of interest to long time resident of LaFontaine. During the fall of 1851, the differences between two leading churches in the vicinity of America and Ashland, the Baptist and the Reformers, as they were called then, began to disagree about the differences of the doctrines between the two churches. It was agreed upon that on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 1852, the leaders of both churches would hold a public discussion at the Boundary Line Reformed Church situated at the cross road on the farm of William R. Hale, one and half mile north of the town of Ashland with Elijah Hackleman acting as moderator. The Baptist Church chose

Squire freshman advances By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com Northfield finished fifth, and Manchester was seventh at the Warsaw boys golf sectional to end both teams’ seasons. Warsaw captured the event shooting 309. Northfield shot 329, while Manchester shot 338. But Manchester freshman Harley Kruschwitz will continue his season, advancing as an individual with the second best overall score, and the top score among those not advancing with teams. Kruschwitz shot a 36 on the front nine and a 39 on the back for a 75 and will compete at the Warsaw Regional at Stonehenge Golf Club on Thursday. The Squires started on the back nine where Kruschwitz parred the first three holes, but shot four bogeys for a 39. He rebounded on the front nine with two birdies and two pars on the first four holes and closed out his round with a birdie on number eight and a par on number nine. Also for Manchester, Parker Wagoner shot a 44-41-85, while Nathan Self also shot a 44-41-85. Konrad Borgmann shot a 48-4593, and Klayton Hendrix shot a 51-

51-102. Northfield capped off a strong season, playing in the first group with sectional winner Warsaw and runner-up Plymouth. The Norse shot a 329 as a team, using team balance to keep pace with the front-runners. Austin Trump shot a 39-41-80, while Caleb Kroh shot a 40-40-80 to lead Northfield. Logan Peas shot a 40-44-84 in the number five group, while Isaac Gottschalk shot a 44-41-85, and Kameron Cole shot a 48-41-89.

LaFontaine News Mr. Lines “appeared on the platform and in a clear tone of voice, delivered a speech of 30 minutes, in a forcible and logical manner, not often surpassed, by men of riper years. Clearly setting forth the differences of the doctrines held by the two religious denominations. “The forensic powers of Mr. Lines in this speech, greatly surpassed the most soigné expectations of his friends. This was Mr. Lines first effort in that direction. The debate lasted three days and concluded on Friday with apparently no hard feelings between the two churches and none of the citizens who

heard the debate. Researched and written by Suse (Piper) Goodpasture.” LAFONTAINE LITERARY CLUB met for their May meeting at the home of Becky Schlemmer.

NORTH MANCHESTER — The M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools Board of School Trustees voted 4-2 to approve Brice Bedke as its newest member. The board previously interviewed four candidates for the position: Bedke, Rick Espeset, Matt Nettleton and Lori Zimmerman. Board member Tim McLaughlin nominated Bedke, and board member Nathan Trump nominated Espeset for the posi-

tion. “We had very high quality candidates. A yes vote for one seems like a no vote for the others, but that’s not the case. Thank you to all for stepping forward,” board member Brian Schilling said before the vote. Board President Steve Flack agreed. “We had four outstanding candidates. I’m proud to see that caliber,” he said. S c h i l l i n g , McLaughlin, Flack and Sally Krouse voted for Bedke, with Trump and Ruth Ayres voting for Espeset.

County OKs bridge replacement By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash County Commissioners approved a bid from Primco, Inc., Fort Wayne, to replace a bridge on County Road 75 East. The bridge, located over Burr Creek, just south of Baumbauer Road, will be replaced

for $323,144.28, according to John Martin, Wabash County highway superintendent. He said he was unsure when work would begin, noting “we still have some things to tidy up.” The contract was one of three bridgerelated items discussed Tuesday morning, May 30,

between Martin and Wabash County Commissioners. In another matter, Martin reported that a survey by USI Consultants showed that the deck of a bridge on Walnut Street in LaFontaine was in need of repair. The estimated cost of that work, he said, was $262,000. Commissioners

gave permission for Martin to pursue bids on that project. Commissioners also learned that four firms have submitted letters of interest for the new contract to inspect county bridges. The current four-year contract, held by Butler Fairman & Seufert, Fort Wayne, is going to expire.

Butler Fairman & Seufert was one of the four companies to submit a letter. Letters also came from GS Infrastructure, Houghton, Mich.; United Consulting, Indianapolis; and USI Consultants, Fort Wayne. Martin and commissioners will review the letters.

“We have to go through the process of selecting a new contractor,” he said. “We have a whole process to go through. We have to score them.” In another matter, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Deputy Tyler Guenin reported that there are 150 inmates from Wabash County in four differ-

ent facilities the week of May 22-28. Of the 150, 82 are in Wabash County, while 57 are in Miami County, six are in Wells County and five are in Elkhart County. The average daily population in Wabash County last week was 81 inmates, he said, with a peak of 91 inmates.
