Local high school honors academic ‘legacy’ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash High School honored its “legacy” on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 3, by inducting nine individuals into its Hall of Distinction for their “outstanding accomplishments in life, dedicated service to others, enriching the history of Wabash City Schools and maintaining the highest standard of conduct and character,” according to Jason Callahan, WCS superintendent.

In the last few years, WCS has been recognized by the U.S. News & World Report as one of the top high schools in Indiana, Callahan said in his opening remarks. “However, we did not arrive at any of these accolades without looking at the blueprints of the past,” he said. “It is in these histories that we uncover the beacons of innovation. We discover the deep commitment of community; we learn from the lives led by delib(continued on page 16)

A debate featuring the three Wabash mayoral candidates will take place Wednesday night at the Historic Eagles Theatre in downtown Wabash. The candidates – Republican Scott Long, Democrat Margaret “Boo” Salb and Independent Wade Weaver – will answer a variety of questions during the debate which is sponsored by the Wabash County Chamber o f Commerce and The Paper of Wabash County. Doors to the theatre will open at 6:15 SCOTT LONG p.m., and the debate will begin at 7 p.m. For those unable to attend in person, it can be viewed live on Wabash WebTV. It also will be archived on the WebTV web page, www.thepaperofwabash.com/webtv.html. Salb said she is looking forward to the debate. “I hope voters come in with an open mind and listen to the candidates, and really give weight to who they think will best run the city,” Salb said.

This is the second time she and Long will have debated. The pair, along with D e m o c r at B o b Mullett, met in a debate in April prior to the May MARGARET “BOO” SALB Primary Election. Weaver and Long met in an event Monday sponsored by the Wabash C3; Salb was unable to attend due to prior commitments.

IDEM still working to get former GenCorp site cleaned By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The long-vacant GenCorp property at Stitt and Bond streets was the subject of a Wabash City Council discussion on Monday, Sept. 8. Council member Bryan Dillon asked Mayor Robert Vanlandingham and City Attorney Doug Lehman if there was anything new to report on the matter. Dillon noted that he has been asked about it frequently in recent weeks, and didn’t know how to respond to the questions. According to Lehman, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management

is still working with Aerojet Rocketdyne officials to monitor various wells around the site “before the IDEM reaches a decision on what needs to be done next.” GenCorp, which was founded as General Tire in 1915, was renamed Aerojet Rocketdyne earlier this year. IDEM officials notified the city in November 2010 that traces of trichloroethylene were found in testing spots near the former building, which was razed in August 2010. The TCE traces were found in several spots in Wabash City Park. Testing was done Heavy vegetation grows where the GenCorp plant once stood along Stitt and on land surrounding the former plant Bond streets. Photo by Harold Chatlosh (continued on page 10)

Photo by Emma Rausch By The Paper staff The 19th annual Wabash Kiwanis Club Bucket Brigade raised $1,512.25 on Saturday, Sept. 19, to donate to the Riley Hospital for Children. Shoppers at

Bechtol’s, Wal-Mart, Big R and Wabash Village Shopping Center made generous donations to local Kiwanis members stationed at those sites. Amy Haecker won the Indianapolis Colts backpack and

merchandise, which was donated by the football team. This year’s fundraiser brings the club’s total donations to $34,571.71 since it first started donating to the children’s hospital in 1996. The Wabash

Kiwanis Club thanks every contributor for supporting the health facility and the local media including WKISS 95.9, 105.9 The Bash, The Paper of Wabash County and the Wabash Plain Dealer for the event’s publicity.

County transit again offers same day service

Need for the service Most rural transportation systems across the nation don’t offer same-day service, Ferry noted. “There are a couple in Indiana who do, but very few nationally who do,” she said. “We always felt if you were truly going to have a system that someone could rely on for their transportation needs, they have to be able to call, if they got sick, they have to be able to call and go to the doctor that day. Maybe it might mean they wouldn’t get the exact time they wanted. Maybe it would mean they’d have to sit in the doctor’s office, maybe take a book and read. They might not get picked up right away, but they can get there.” Same-day service also helps in emergencies, Ferry said. For

example, someone may have a car that doesn’t start and they need to go to work. They can call WCT and arrangements can be made to pick them up.

Stopping the service “We had to stop same-day service because we were just backed up,” Ferry said. “It got to the point that there was so much pressure, we were so pushed it really was a safety issue.” WCT officials had no choice but to stop the service, she said. “We were having driver turnover because of the stress on the system,” she said. “We know there’s a need for between 200 and 220 rides a day. Because … when we got pushed to capacity, that’s what we were doing. “We know there’s a need. You have to respond at that time, so we stopped sameday service.”

Tablets to the rescue Before switching to the tablet system, drivers were forced to

keep records manually. “A manifest in the morning could be 10 sheets of paper,” Ferry said. Thanks to the tablets and the cloud, that all has changed. “They walk out with their tablets and, in real time, their schedule is sent to them, “ Ferry said. “It enables our dispatchers to make changes in real time.” It also has lightened the burden on dispatchers. Two dispatchers are always on duty at one time. However, before the tablets, one of the dispatchers would spend six to eight hours just imputing the drivers’ data from the previous day. With the tablets, that process has been cut down to a bout one hour per day. “She plugs in each tablet in the computer and showroom, it’s done,” Ferry said, explaining how the data is now collected. “So now she can spend the day working on improving the current day schedule, as well as the next day’s schedule and beyond,” Ferry said.

“So we truly have two dispatchers on the schedules.”

Drivers & dispatchers WCT drivers and dispatchers both like the new system, though, they admit, it took some getting used to. “It took a few weeks to learn, but once you learn the system it is much faster than with paper,” said Jeff Ravenscroft, who has driven for WCT for about two years. “With paper they would call and give us the name, then we’d have to write down the name and address. Sometimes talking back and forth on the radio trying to get the name and address took some time, where with this it all just shows up.” But Ravenscroft noted, there is still an occasional glitch that shows up. “We have a few problems with the battery,” he said. “The batter life just depletes on us sometimes.” Dispatcher Val Stout also believes the new system is much

Guenin-Hodson named to two law forums By The Paper staff

Emily GueninHodson has been certified as a life member of both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the MultiMillion Advocates Forum, officials at the Million Dollar Advocates Forum announced. The Million Dollar Advocates Forum is recognized as one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. Membership

is limited to attorneys who have won million and multimillion dollar verdicts, awards and settlements. The organization was founded in 1993 and there are approximately 4,000 members located throughout the country. Less than 1 percent of U.S. lawyers are members. Forum membership acknowledges excellence in advocacy, and provides members with a national network of

experienced colleagues for professional referral and i n f o r m a t i o n exchange in major cases. Members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum must have acted as principal counsel in at lease one case in which their client has received a verdict, award or settle-

ment in the amount of $1 million or more. Members of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum must be life members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and must have acted as principal counsel in at lease one case, which has resulted in a multi-million dollar verdict, award

or settlement. Guenin-Hodson is a graduate of Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law. Her practice concentrates on serious personal injury and wrongful death, including car crashes, semi-truck collisions, motorcycle wrecks, construction cases and plant explosions.

easier. “If Beverly would call for a ride, we schedule it and it goes to the driver,” she said. “Before we would have to call the driver and have to wait for them to be able to stop and talk. I think it has made it quicker.” The system now gets about 10 to 15 calls daily for sameday service. “The challenge,” Ferry said, is that even though we might have buses sitting in the parking lot, the schedule is based on funding. We don’t have drivers sitting there waiting to go. Stout agreed. “A lot don’t seem to understand that we’re not a taxis service,” she said. “We don’t have a driver sitting there just waiting to go. We’re scheduled

for months in advance for a lot of rides.”

Scheduling rides

WCT runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Rides can be scheduled at 260-563-7536 or 800-4984400. “We’re scheduling school children now for December,” dispatcher Carol McVicker said. “We’ve got school kids all over the place.” The school choice program allows parents to choose which school district their children will attend, Ferry explained. “With parents working, we have to make it easy for them,” McVicker continued, noting “People don’t think of this as being a young person’s service.”

Same day service is once again available through the Wabash County Transit (WCT) system. The change, according to Beverly Ferry, CEO of Living Well in Wabash County, is due to technology. Living Well oversees the WCT. The service was stopped a few years ago, something Ferry called “a very difficult decision, but it was a necessary one.” However, thanks to the “cloud,” the service is once again available. “The solution took a little longer than just a month or two,” Ferry said. “It was a long process figuring out what the solution would be, and how we could do it and how we could pay for it. “Our scheduling is now in the cloud. Our drivers have tablets that they bring in and out of the buses every day.” The cloud refers to software and services that run on the Internet, instead of locally on your com-

puter. Most cloud services can be accessed through a Web browser like Firefox or Google Chrome, and some companies offer dedicated mobile apps.

Center for History’s mastodon has a new name

Pedro Montoya-Navarro stands by the display featuring “Juan the Mastodon.” Photo provided By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — This year, the North Manchester Center for History has created many new displays and upgraded about half of its former exhibits. One new exhibit features the prehistory of the area, including information on glaciers, mastodon bones, stone artifacts that are thousands of years old, and a sampling of animals the early American settlers found here. A life-sized repre-

sentation of a mastodon anchors a display of rare mastodon bones from the museum collection. Last May, 125 third-grade students visited the Center. They were asked to submit their ideas for a name for the 10-foot high mastodon. Over the summer, Center for History staff decided on the winning name. Finalists included Big Joe, Melvin, MoMo and Tusky. The winning name was submitted by Pedro Montoya-

Navarro from Mrs. Becky Cook’s class. The mastodon has now officially been dubbed Juan the Mastodon. Visitors are welcome to see the display, and compare it to the image of a 6-foot human nearby. The museum at 122 E. Main Street contains 9,000 square feet of exhibit space, where thousands of objects and photographs are on display. It is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and for tours by appointment.

MU’s Gochenaur named nonprofit CFO of the Year By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — Jack Gochenaur has been named northeast Indiana nonprofit CFO of the Year. Vice president and chief business officer at Manchester University, he received the award Wednesday, Sept. 30, at the Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly awards breakfast in Fort Wayne. “Jack Gochenaur is that rare financial manager who combines ‘big picture’ strategic thinking with careful attention to detail — all while bringing out the best in people,” said MU President Dave McFadden, who nominated him. “His visionary leadership, collaborative style and impeccable integrity have earned Jack the respect of the University community and his peers across Indiana.” In Gochenaur’s 12plus years at Manchester, he has strengthened the institution’s finances, helped increase enrollment, overseen the $9.1 million renovation and expansion of the

Academic Center and mapped the finances for Manchester’s $19 million Fort Wayne campus and doctoral pharmacy program. Gochenaur graduated from Manchester in 1970 and then served in the Fort Wayne office of what is now Ernst & Young for five years. In 1975, he went to work for Mutual Security Life Insurance Co. in Fort Wayne, where he reorganized and expanded the accounting, audit and financial services department – eventually serving as chief executive officer. In 1990, Gochenaur accepted a position with national health insurance provider Fortis Health in Milwaukee, Wisc. As senior vice president of client services, he led more than 600 employees and saved the company $13.5 million a year. During his final three years at Fortis he led a $70 million project acquiring and implementing vendor software to replace existing systems. In 2003, Gochenaur returned to his alma mater, where he leads a team that encompasses physical, fiscal and human

resources operations. In addition to budgeting, investing and recordkeeping, student financial aid, conference services, the campus store and campus food service are all under that umbrella. All information technology, construction and maintenance on both the North Manchester and Fort Wayne campuses unite under his leadership. In addition to his financial expertise, Gochenaur understands that his University educates human beings — young people who sometimes need guidance. “He is willing to call a family member whose child has left school to find out why,” says McFadden. “He will explore all options to help a student stay in school and does what he can to curb the size of their debt.” Outside MU, Gochenaur has long been a leader with Youth for Christ. He has also volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, served as a consultant for Junior Achievement’s Junior Project Business and served on the financial committee of Northwest

Allen County Schools. He was active in the Fort Wayne Rotary Club and was treasurer of the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission. He coached a children’s soccer team and is a record blood donor for the American Red Cross. W h e r e v e r Gochenaur has lived, he has always been active in his church as a Sunday school teacher, treasurer and elder. He and his wife, Dianna, have three grown children and live in Columbia City. While Gochenaur is passionate about his alma mater, he also cares about the wider higher education community. Jack was a driving force in creating the Indiana Risk Management Association, an insurance consortium of nine private colleges that selfinsure casualty and liability coverage. His more recent focus has been on collaboration in the IT environment. “Jack is a creative problem-solver,” says McFadden. “Where others see barriers, he sees possibilities.” His mantra is “no margin, no mission.” He focuses

Manchester’s attention on generating a healthy margin because the University can better serve students and fulfill its mission if it is thriving financially. “Jack always centers his discussions on what is best for our students and encourages budget managers to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to them,” McFadden said. Two of Manchester’s initiatives designed to keep an education afford-

able for students — Fast Forward and the Triple Guarantee — were launched on Jack’s watch. Before Gochenaur’s arrival, Manchester had four CFOs in 10 years. Jack brought

much-needed stability to the University’s finances which, in turn, has given others confidence in Manchester’s longterm financial success.

Stockdale Mills undergoes repairs "!+& By The Paper staff ROANN — The Stockdale Mill Foundation recently completed two large maintenance projects. One of the three water turbines that creates power for the mill required adjustments on its water gates. Water that enters the chamber beneath the mill was shut off for workers to gain access to the normally submerged turbine. High water levels on the river held up progress after some initial progress. Once the river receded, the turbine was partially dissembled. Parts were cleaned and after reassembly the equipment ran as intended. The project was headed up by Roger Harman and Tim Graves. Several floods in recent years had eroded the concrete

buttress between the mill and the dam as

ture to its original state, hopefully last-

Foundation of Wabash County looked to the past and into the future on Wednesday night, Sept. 30, during the organization’s annual meeting. Taking place at the Heartland Career Center, Community Foundation officials looked toward the past when honoring two retiring board members, as well as longtime volunteer with the organization. Its look into the future took place during tours of the Career Center, with which the C o m m u n i t y Foundation is working to bring better teaching and training to Wabash County. The highlight of the tour was the welding technology classroom, which Community Foundation helped obtain grants to improve the class’ offerings and equipment. Instructor Jack Holley, who was among the students and staff

speaking on the tour, is currently studying to become a certified welding instructor. With the position, he will be able work with not only students, but also with adults who are seeking to enter the welding field. Holley talked about the impact Community Foundation had with a grant it awarded the school earlier this year. He also discussed some of the new equipment the school was able to purchase thanks to the grant. One such piece of equipment is a simulator welder. The machine allows a student, through a computer, to simulate various types of welding techniques. The computer tells the student if he or she are using the proper techniques, as well as what they need to do to improve their technique. It also keeps records of a student’s progress, which Holley said is a great ability to

have, especially when it comes to talking with the student or his or her parents. The computer also keeps expenses down, allowing the student to practice online rather than waste money working on metal of various size and cost. Midway through the evening, Community Foundation Executive Director Patty Grant, Program Director Julie Garber and Board Chair Steve Hentgen addressed the 50 people present in the school’s commons area. “We appreciate your attendance; we appreciate every one of you being here,” Grant said. “We also appreciate the Heartland Career Center.” She said board member Joe Messer came up with the idea of having the event at the school. “He thought, ‘You know, if we’re proud of the grants that we’ve made and the support (continued on page 7)

attorney Al Schlitt was recognized for his volunteer work with the agency. Schlitt, Hentgen explained, donated his hime for more than two years to bring more than $5 million in scholarships trusts. “These trusts were assets created by Wabash County citizens for Wabash County citizens,” Hentgen continued. “Yet through a series of bank mergers throughout the years, the money ended up out of state and in other locations. “Al took it upon himself to say, ‘That’s not right. We need to get that money back. It’s not serving the stu-

dents of Wabash County well.’ “If it were not for Al, hundreds of students and their families would not be benefitting from those trusts today.” Hentgen read a C o m m u n i t y Foundation board resolution thanking Schlitt for his efforts, and also announced an endowment in Schlitt’s name would be created with the Foundation. Schlitt said his efforts started following a conversation he had with Garber. “You need to be careful when you have a conversation about things because you never know where it’s going to take you,” he

said. “She said she was receiving complaints from people around the county who weren’t able to access scholarship funds that they knew were there.” Going through microfilm at the Wabash County Courthouse, he found 13 of the 14 original endowment documentation, and also learned that the overseeing of the funds were not close to meeting the endowment’s expectations. Many of the trusts were set up in the 1920s and 1930s, he noted. “It was a real challenge, and we were going to win, no matter what it took,” Schlitt joked.

Wabash Marketplace dedicates walkway City of Wabash for repaving the walkway, and for passing an ordinance prohibiting motorized vehicles on the walkway.

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A walkway between Market and Canal streets was dedicated Friday night, Oct. 2, during a brief ceremony that was part of the First Friday celebration. “The set of cables hung from the buildings will be used for several purposes,” Wabash Marketplace Inc. President Jason Callahan said, “including supports for lighting and hanging of temporary public art. “Strings of LED bulbs will be decorative and functional. Benches will allow for places of rest, and landscaping will consist of perennials that will thrive in the shadows of the buildings.” The first public art display was of ornamental lamps which

NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester University donated 20 laptop computers to the Learn More Center, with the official presentation on Monday, Sept. 28. Learn More Center will use half of the laptops at the North Manchester Learn More Center and the other half at the Wabash Learn More Center for adult educa-

tion, primarily for those striving to earn their high school equivalency diplomas, said Cynthia Johnson, director of education at the center. They will also be used by those who are already in higher education or prepping for it, which is about 20 percent of the Learn More Center students. Each center will now have a total of 20 laptops, enough to keep half a dozen in each classroom and have others to loan out so students can work at

to allow the voters to learn about him and what he stands for. “What I hope to accomplish during the debate is an opportunity to answer the questions and present myself to those who don’t know me,” he said. “The opportunity to present myself to the community and give them my vision for the future of Wabash is exciting.” Like his opponents, he also believes his campaign is going well. “My campaign is on

track presently and we have knocked on doors from Southpointe to Stitt Street and east of Manchester Avenue,” he said. “In these closing weeks, my team and I will continue to walk, knock, and talk to the citizens until we have covered the whole city. The input I have received in the door to door walking has been invaluable to my campaign. There are great ideas out there from our citizens on how to improve our community.”

As he did in the April debate, Bob Fuller will moderate the Wednesday night debate. Candidates will receive two minutes each for an opening statement, and then, on a rotating basis, answer a variety of questions prepared by the staff of The Paper, with input from the public. Candidates will then have three minutes to make closing statements. The debate is expected to last between 75 and 90 minutes.

IDEM still working to get former GenCorp site cleaned... continued from the front page because the thenowners, One General Street LLC, refused access to the site. In April the site was sold to Acres Investment Indiana LLC during a commissioners sale. “The purchaser is getting the deed to the property,” Lehman said. “When they become title owner, they’re responsible for the condition of the property. They couple be responsible for the cleanup of the property, especially if the investigation by the IDEM shows that none of the contaminants were the kind of things that GenCorp used when they were in ownership and were things that occurred afterward. “I doubt that’s what it will show, but it’s

always a possibility.” Lehman said he believes Acres Investment is “some kind of outfit that goes around and buys commissioner sale and tax sale-type property, figuring that they will pay a couple hundred dollars to get it, then turn around and sell it to somebody for millions of dollars and make a huge fortune. Then they find out it’s got all kinds of liability associated with it, they’re going to walk away from it.” He was quick to note that he’s not talked to Acres Investment representatives and doesn’t know that will be the case in this instance. “I’m just going on appearances and past experiences,” he said. Council member

Joan Haag wondered why the property was put up for sale. “The commissioners’ view is that they’ve been holding on to this thing,” Lehman said. “It didn’t sell at a tax sale because no one wants the liability and because there’s a substantial lien against the property … “Commissioners end up turning around and end up selling the property at the commissioners sale to get it back to the tax rolls. As long as the commissioners hold it and it doesn’t sell at a tax sale, it doesn’t bring in any money. “I would assume that’s why commissioners sold it; to get it back on the tax rolls so it would generate (continued on page 11)

Forum to discuss multi-generational families By The Paper staff A growing number of households no longer consist only of parents and children. In some cases, extended relatives have now become primary caregivers to the next generation. To help make those families and the people who serve them more aware of the available resources, the Indiana Youth

Institute is hosting a free forum that is open to the public. As part of IYI’s Youth Worker Café series, a discussion of the challenges of multi-g enerational families will be on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Heartland REMC, 350 Wedcor Ave. Cindy Wagoner from the Area Five Agency on Aging and Community Services

and Hope Brown from Wabash Friends Counseling Center will speak on the options and support available to help these families, both financially and emotionally. According to data in the 2015 Kids County in Indiana Data Book, 3 percent of Indiana households have at least three generations of family members living under one roof.

More than 113,000 Hoosier children live with a grandparent. In about half of those cases (48.3 percent), that grandparent is directly responsible for the child. Research in the KIDS COUNT in Indiana Data Book also found that more than a quarter (26.5 percent) of children whose grandparents are responsible for their upbringing also live in poverty.

Teen Moms have first meeting of new school year Article provided Teen Moms met on Monday, Sept. 21 at the Wabash Alliance Church. The meal was provided by Ann Emrick of the Bachelor Creek Church of Christ. Trisha Oswalt talked to the moms about valuing their

roles. She related things she has learned from her experiences as a mother of three. The moms were reminded that whatever they put into practice at home will be considered the norm by their children. She emphasized studying the personality differences in your

children so you can relate to each one as an individual. She also spoke about some traps that moms may fall into such as comparing themselves or their children with others. Penny Tackett was the guest leader for the craft time and she instructed the girls in

making bracelets. The moms will be making a field trip to Darlington Holiday Warehouse during the next meeting time on Oct. 5. Any moms interested in joining the group can do so by calling 260-563-7275 or register at the LIFE Center.

Lehman said he didn’t know if it was, “but obviously the city isn’t interested in property that has liability on it for environmental issues.” In 2011, City Court Judge Tim Roberts found that One General LLC violated its demolition permit; fining the firm $100 per day for each day it was in violation of the permit – or 265 days. He also found the company in violation of the restriction that it not maintain an unsafe structure on the site. The building was deemed unsafe because of holes and other places where people could fall. That violation netted the firm with a $1,000-per-day fine, again for 265 days. He also found the company violated a requirement that demolition material be removed from the site and the property be graded. The brought with it a $2,500-a-day fine for 265 days. In all, the compa-

ny’s fine $954,000.

VETERANS ARE planning on having the dedication of their memorial on Saturday, Nov. 14. The time will be announced later. The mural is finished on the L a F o n t a i n e Community Building. The cement is done and they are waiting on the monument and benches to arrive and to be placed. The bricks are being engraved and then placed on the side of the walk way. Flag poles are here and will be put up. This is going to be one beautiful memorial to honor our veterans. So many people have donated their labor, supplies and equipment to make this happen. In the last week column I missed listing Jay Gillespie as he donated equipment to clear the area and stone to be placed before the cement could be done. I am sure I am have missed someone else who have donated the use of equipment or supplies, if I have I am sorry for this. Be sure and mark your calendar for Nov. 14, so you can come, support and thank a veteran. FRIENDS OF the Old LaFontaine Cemetery, Oct. 10 will be our last official work day at the Old LaFontaine Cemetery. The community is invited to come by in the morning and watch some restoration in progress. The public will be pleasantly surprised at what we have been doing this summer. Those with ancestors buried in our Cemetery but do not know the location of the grave, we might be able to help you find them. Volunteers will be on 1050 S, just west of SR15 in LaFontaine. Look for the new cemetery sign on the south side of the road. A lot of things have happened at the cemetery this summer. In May during the cemetery workshop, two Civil War Veteran markers were reset and cleaned. In August, through private pay, ten more tablets/monuments were restored. At this same time in August, nine tablets, one large monument and one small monument were restored

with the donations that had been received to date. During the final work day for the season, Mark Davis will be working on two large monuments, one smaller monument and four tablets for private pay. With the help of “Sutton Masonery” equipment, volunteers have been able to level and straighten a total of 31 monuments since Aug. 29. These still need cleaning and mortaring. Volunteers will continue to work at the cemetery as time and weather allow. The group encourages families to hire a professional restorer to work on the markers of their ancestors. Mark Davis will be available on the Oct. 10 if there are any questions, or would like to contract with him for restoration. Many of the GAR flag holders for the Civil War veterans are missing. The group has found and repaired 12, about half of what we need. If anyone would be willing to purchase additional flag holders for the remainder of the veterans, contact tjhiple@comcast.net or by phone 260-563-5135 I would like to thank the community for their financial support as well as their support toward Beacon Credit Union’s Project Spotlight, “Friendship of the Old LaFontaine Cemetery.” All funds received through your efforts will go directly toward the restoration of markers. Financial donations are always welcome. A form to accompany the donation is attached. L A F O N TA I N E LIONS will be at Mississinewa 1812 Reenactment on Oct 911 again this year. They have booths 2 and 3 and they are one of the first vendors to be there since day one. They sell ham & beans, cornbread and sasafar tea at booth 3. Their kettle corn/sugar corn is at booth 2. It has to be called Sugar Corn at this reenactment because everything is to be back in the 1812 area. So be sure and come and see all the sights and support the vendors. As many of them are non-profit organizations. Don’t forget to get your sugar corn to take home for later to enjoy, after you have enjoyed some there. L A F O N TA I N E I.O.).F.

Local high school honors academic ‘legacy’... continued from the front page erateness and determination and deep in that soil of service-minded and scholarly people our success is grown. “Today is about legacy. Legacy defined as gift of property and anything handed down from the past from ancestors or predecessors. … Today we are the beneficiaries, the descendants, those whose lives have been influenced by these nine inductees and today we pay tribute to

their efforts to make this community and this world a better world.” Inductees included Michael Beauchamp, Loren Murphy Berry, Royal Davis, Steven Ford, Edward “Pete” Jones, Owen James (O.J.) Neighbours, Charles Showalter, George Pat Smith II and Gene StrattonPorter. The individuals were recognized for their accomplishments as businessmen and women, authors, artists, edu-

cators and, in their own ways, innovators. Beauchamp, Ford, Jones and Smith were all present to accept their awards. The others were honored posthumously for their accomplishments. Beauchamp, a local entrepreneur recognized as the person responsible for staring the revitalization of downtown Wabash and the Wabash River Defenders watershed initiative, was the

first to be recognized during the ceremony, which inducted the individuals alphabetically. “Wabash is my home. I love this place,” Beauchamp said during his acceptance speech. “I am probably more optimistic today than I’ve been in a long, long time. I feel that this little town has been up against difficulty after hurdle and we have overcome, we have persisted and I am so impressed with what

County Council approves first budget reading By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Council approved the first reading of the 2016 budget on Monday, Sept. 28, only after making several changes to increase the budget’s overall total. During the budget reviews, county departments were able to reduce their individual budgets to meet the council’s recommendations, however ended up leaving funds unbudgeted.

“I guess the long and short of it is we’ve cut a little bit more than we actually needed to, which is good but it can also hurt us in the long run,” said council chairman Mike Ridenour. “We don’t want to be putting anybody in the spot where maybe they may have problems down the road, too.” The council used the salaries and wages committee to evaluate pay increase requests that exceed 2 percent increase that was agreed upon, according to Ridenour.

By unanimous vote, the council agreed to assign $600 to the Wabash County Coroner’s budget, $769 to the Auditor’s budget, $110 to Weights and Measures, $237 to the Sheriff ’s Department and $2,811 to the Veterans Service Officer’s budget, in total distributing $4,527 to the overall budget, according to Ridenour. The increases in pay are encompassed in the total of the $4,527, but Ridenour noted that there are some budget expenses that are not related

to salaries within that figure. “Additionally, we removed some of the expenses that were budgeted in the public safety fund and put them back into the general fund (where they were originally),” Ridenour wrote to The Paper of Wabash County in a follow-up email. “We moved them out of the general fund initially because we were concerned the general fund couldn’t support them, and we found out later it was possible to keep them in.”

Local high school honors academic ‘legacy’... continued page 16 levels of personal and professional fulfillment that are satisfying beyond measure. “It’s quite grand,” he continued, “to have an institutional validation of this old nerd who stands before by the recognition given to me so kindly by superintendent Callahan.” Following the ceremony, Smith told The Paper of Wabash County that it’s hard to find words to explain how it feels to be recognized by his high school and by his home state. “It’s nice to be honored, but Indiana, my birth place and the love I have for Indiana doesn’t require recognition of any type but it’s always nice to have recognition,” Smith said. He credited his Wabash High School teachers helped him ignite the “spark” and he noted that wondered where he

would be without them. “At that age, you need the encouragement that it’s ok to be different, celebrate your difference,” Smith said. “That’s what I learned from my teachers at Wabash High.” Callahan told The Paper that the Hall of Distinction arose for several reasons. “One of the things it came out of was a visit to China a few years ago,” Callahan said. “We went to a school and in their school was their Hall of Fame and it was primarily academic of past scholars, some current scholars and some current teachers as well and they had a little section for sports, but it was minor. And that’s when I thought, ‘You know we probably have this wrong.’” The event is a testimony to students that even though

they might come from a small city school, they can go on to do great things, he explained. “I think with more of these stories (being featured around the school) the students will think, ‘Just because I came out of a town of 10,000 I’m able to accomplish incredible things,’” Callahan said. “I think that’s what we’re striving to do.”

Sagamore of the Wabash is an honor bestowed upon and personal tribute given to those who have rendered distinguished service to the state and its citizens, Konyha explained. After thanking Konyha and the committee for their recognition, Smith said, “Nerds by definition are different from the main stream. We are set apart from the popular culture because we simply do not subscribe to it.” Smith recognized three high school educators, or as he fondly referred them his “segregate mothers,” Martha Biggerstaff Jones, Mildred Hipskin and Ruth Jones for encouraging him to

Haunted barn coming to fairgrounds By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Ghosts and ghouls are invading the Wabash County Fairgrounds on Friday and Saturday nights through Halloween. Sponsored by the Wabash County Fair Board, the haunted barn is the idea of Mary and Rick Hollingshead.

“We have been interested in haunted houses for 20-some years,” Mrs. Hollingshead told The Paper of Wabash County. “We go to them and enjoy going through them. We enjoy being scared and hearing other people being scared.” The couple helped at a haunted house, which formerly took place at the old Roann school, she said.

“It was a blast,” she said. “Then I was a Jaycee in North Manchester and I used to help at the one above the Moose for several years. It’s just something I always liked to do.” The barn offers the community something to do on weekends in the autumn, she said. “We’re hoping it’s a good turnout, and we’re hoping to build it again next year

Wieland to share motivational message at MU From the Manchester University News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — Bob Wieland was a medic in Vietnam on June 14, 1969, coming to the aid of a fallen soldier, when a booby trap with an 82mm mortar shell blew off his legs. He was pronounced dead and placed in a body bag. But he wasn’t finished living — and the best was yet to come. Wieland, who crossed the United States on his hands in a journey that lasted nearly four years, will challenge M a n c h e s t e r

University students to set ambitious goals and not let obstacles or hardships keep them from realizing their dreams. He is bringing his inspirational message, “Unleash the Champion Within,” to the North Manchester campus at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8. The presentation in Cordier Auditorium is free and open to the public. After his injury, the former high school all-star athlete at first was able to lift only fivepound weights but went on to be a strength coach for the Green Bay

Packers, a record-setting weightlifter, marathoner and triathlete. Wieland challenges audience members to be committed to the mission of the businesses, organizations and communities in which they are involved. His speech at Manchester is sponsored by the A t h l e t i c s Department and the Values, Ideas and the Arts Committee. His visit was made possible by a donation from a friend of the university as a gift to MU students and the surrounding community. The MU program

is held in conjunction with the launch of a speakers’ series at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. Wieland will give the sermon on Sunday, Oct. 11, at the church, 113 W. Main St. in North Manchester. Wieland will also speak at the Oct. 8 North Manchester Chamber of Commerce breakfast program. Zion Lutheran said organizers of his visit are exploring additional speaking opportunities for him. The presentation on campus is part of the University’s Values, Ideas and the Arts series.

Stirring it up with Angie Baer Autumn is hands down my favorite season. I absolutely love the beauty, crispness in the air and yes, the foods we often think of serving in the fall. I try when possible to spend as much time as I can outside just relaxing, taking everything in. A few weeks ago my husband and I participated in the Dam to Dam organized bicycle ride. A 104 mile bike ride around both reservoirs, up to the northern part of the county and finally ending in downtown Wabash. This ride showcases the true beauty of Wabash County. I was excited to be a part of this event. This will certainly be at the top of my list of “must do” things to do in the fall. This Chunky Apple Cake is the picture perfect dessert to make this time of year. This wonderfully moist cake has a warm butterscotch sauce that you drizzle over each warm slice. I usually top it off with a large scoop of real vanilla bean ice cream. All I can say is YUM! Whenever I serve this cake I always have requests for the recipe. You will need to bake this cake the day prior to serving it. Please note. This cake does not keep well. Two to three days after baking is max. Chunky Apple Cake 1/2 cup butter, softened 2 cups sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 2 cups all - purpose flour 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda 6 cups chopped peeled tart apples Butterscotch Sauce 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup butter, cubed 1/2 cup whipping cream In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking soda. Gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in apples until combined. Spread into a greased 13x 9 in baking dish. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until top is lightly browned and springs back when touched. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted. Gradually add cream. Bring to a slow boil stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Serve with cake.

Squires fall to Whitko By Eric Christiansen news@thepaperofwabash.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — The struggles continued for the Manchester Squire football team as they dropped to 0-7 and 0-5 in the Three Rivers Conference after a 35-0 loss to Whitko Friday night. With a methodical, up-the-middle offense and a stifling defense, Whitko slowly ran away from the Squires on the W i l d c a t s ’ Homecoming and Senior Night. Manchester started the game with momentum after Quentin Moore recov-

ered a fumble on Whitko’s second play from scrimmage. They moved the ball to the Whitko 40-yard line, but were forced to punt. The Wildcats then used a 12-play drive that ate up over six minutes that resulted in a 24-yard touchdown run from quarterback Garrett Elder for a 7-0 lead with 59.7 seconds left in the first quarter. After the Squires’ second punt of the game on the first play of the second quarter, Kane Gable recovered another Whitko fumble on the Wildcat 35yard line. Josh Shepherd got the Squires to the 23yard line with a 12

Whitko once again went on the ground for a long series, this time 13 plays, 12 of them rushing, and with 4:15 left in the half, Elder scored his second touchdown of

the game on a twoyard run for a 14-0 lead. After a Squire fourand-out, Elder struck again on the Wildcats’ next play on a 71-yard run up the left sideline to make it a 20-0 score with 2:16 left in the half. Whitko added another touchdown in

the third quarter and one more in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach, while keeping the Squires out of the end zone for 32 minutes. The Squires will host Rochester this Friday, and will host North Miami the following week in the TRC playoff.

Squires fall in tennis sectional finals By Eric Christiansen news@thepaperofwabash.com PERU — Heading into the boys’ tennis sectional finals against Peru, the Manchester Squires knew it was going to be a close match with the Tigers, and they weren’t wrong. With the team score tied at 2-2, Peru clinched the sectional championship by pulling out the number two doubles match 6-3, 7-6 (7). Manchester’s two points came easily as Max Karg defeated Brandon Bates 6-3, 6-3 at one singles, while the number one doubles team of Noah Cain and Matthew

Pegg won 6-3, 6-0 over Lucas Eckerly and Kameron Graham. Peru, meanwhile, cruised in its first two points when Carson Ray beat Parker Wagoner 6-0, 6-0, and Ethan Hyde topped Spence Trick 6-3, 6-1. Meanwhile, at court 5, Manchester’s Heath Dierks and Luke Donathan were in a battle against Sean Smith and Ben Van Baalan for the matchclinching point. Peru won the opening set 63, but the second set was drama-filled. Manchester took a 3-2 lead, then broke Peru’s serve and held Donathan’s service game to lead 5-2. With a third and deciding set on the horizon,

Peru fought back. The Tigers won the next four game to take a 6-5 lead, but Dierks pounded out several big serves to force a tie-break at 6-6. Peru had three match points with a 63 lead, but the Squires saved all of them, then had a set point with a 7-6 lead, but the Tigers won the next three points to close it out and celebrate another sectional championship on their home courts. The Squires ended the team season with an 11-5 record and a 51 mark in the Three Rivers Conference for a second place finish. But Manchester’s season isn’t completely over.

Karg and the doubles team of Cain and Pegg advanced to the individual sectional tournament at Culver Academies as they remain undefeated in the state tournament. Karg improved to 17-1 at number one singles, while Cain and Pegg moved to 181. First Round Win over Wabash The Squires advanced to the championship match a night earlier when they pulled out a 3-2 win over county rival Wabash. All five matches were won easily, with Karg winning 6-0, 6-2 over Luke Mattern, Cain and Pegg winning 6-2, 6-2 over Adam Driscoll and

Cal Stone, and Dierks and Donathan beating Austin Black and Gage Miller 6-0, 6-3. Wabash got its two points in the singles matches where Taylor Vigar beat Wagoner 61, 6-1, and Alex Driscoll beat Spence Trick 6-0, 6-4. Manchester coach Joel Eichenauer was impressed with his team after the win. “Our seniors carry themselves with confidence and know how to win,” he said. The Squire seniors will play their individual sectional matches either Tuesday, October 6 or Wednesday, October 7.

Bedke leads Lady Squires to TRC title By Gary Andrews NORTH MANCHESTER — The Running Rivers Confrence and Three Rivers Conference cross country meets were held at

Manchester Saturday with several county teams and runners having a great day. In the boys RRC Wabash’s Derek Vogel was the individual champion with the team finishing second. Southwood was third

and Northfield fourth. Manchester had an incomplete team. In the girls RRC race Manchester’s Torina Runkel was the individual champion, leading the Lady Squires to the championship. Northfield

race Manchester’s Rae Bedke was the individual champion, leading the Lady Squires to the title. Southwood was fourth, Northfield fifth with Wabash having an incomplete team.

Manchester girls top South Adams, 3-2 By Gary Andrews NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester won a tough battle against South Adams today 32. The Lady Squires

shot ahead early in the first half on a goal by Carsyn Howard assisted by Allison Smith. South Adams then scored to tie the game at half. Carsyn then scored early in the

second off of an assist by Elizabeth Anguilm to put them ahead 2-1. South Adams scored its second goal with 6 minutes left in the game to tie it again. South Adams

then fouled the Lady Squires with a m i n u t e left. Elizabeth Anguilm put the ball on the far post and Carsyn Howard found the net again to complete her hat

trick. Olivia Dockter, Melissa Saucedo, Bailey Sewell, and Ellie Milam again did a nice job shutting down runs. Kiera Stacy had 6 saves.

Apaches return to winning ways By Gary Andrews The Wabash Apache football team got back to its winning ways Friday, trailing at halftime before pitching a shut out in the second half in a 29-14 win over North Miami. The Warriors would take the early lead when Trevor Linn scored from 8 yards out with 8:45 left in the opening quarter to lead 7-0, but the Apaches would respond just two minutes later when Owen Yeadon scored from 21 yards out with 6:47 on the clock to knot the score at 7. North Miami would get the lone score of the second quarter when Zane Briggs scored on a 5-yard run with just 1:11 remianing in the half and held a 14-7 lead at half-

time. With lights out defense and riding Owen Yeadon, the Apaches would take control in the second half. With 9:02 left in the third Yeadon would score from 2 yards out, then kick the extra point to make the score 14-14. With just 23 seconds left in the quarter Yeadon would strike again, this time from 3 yards to put Wabash up 20-14. Again it would be all Yeadon in the fourth, kicking a 27-yard-field goal with 4:55 left, then scoring on a 20-yard run with 1:56 left for the 29-14 final. Passing : Hipskind 4/11 for 30 yards Rushing : Yeadon 31/204 yards, 4TD : Hipskind 2/3 yards Rec : Beauchamp 1/17 yards : Yeadon 1/5 yards : Jones 1/5 yards : Dillon 1/3 yards.

Lunch & Learn to feature ‘Wicked Plants’ By The Paper staff

Charley Creek Gardens will present “Wicked Plants” as part of the Lunch and Learn series on Wednesday, Oct. 21 from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m., to take place in the Charley Creek Gardens Education and Resource Center, at 551 N. Miami Street. The discussion will focus a book written by Amy Stewart entitled

“Wicked Plants,” wherein participants will learn about “evildoers that may be lurking in your own backyard.” Drawing on history, medicine, science and legend, participants may be a little alarmed once it is revealed how many menacing plants exist that have the propensity tendency to destroy, intoxicate and kill. Other “wicked plant” discussion will include the weed

that killed Lincoln’s mother, why you don’t want to undercook red kidney beans, the most toxic plant in the United States, and more bad guys of the plant world! An appropriate topic with Halloween so close at hand! “ D o - I t - Yo u r s e l f Winter Décor” will be the next Lunch and Learn session on Nov. 18. Join us for a demonstration on how to decorate for the holidays by using

plant material found in your backyard. Lunch and Learn at the Gardens is a series of garden related talks held monthly at Charley Creek Gardens and is free to the public. Attendees are to bring their own lunch if desired, as lunch is not provided. For more information contact Kelly Smith at 260.563-1020 or by sending an email to kellys@charleycreekgardens.org.

When disaster strikes Wabash local returns after fighting west coast wildfires By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Fires burned across the drought-stricken West Coast region again this summer, destroying both residential and wildlife homes. In an effort to prevent further devastation, one Wabash

native joined men and women from across the nation on the front lines and fought the fires’ spread. Johnny White, a local Department of Natural Resources (DNR) inspector for the Division of Oil and Gas, traveled to Chelan, Wash., in August and assisted in snuffing out wildfires for three weeks. “Did you watch the news at all about the

fires,” White asked during an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “There was a town that got burn over and that was Chelan. “We were in a base camp near the Columbia River near Chelan and we went out to another fire about 20 miles away. We were spiked out there for about four days and we came back and the town was burnt over.” For 16 years White has volunteered his services through the DNR Division of Forestry as a “Type II Initial Attack (I.A.) Interagency Group” crewmember. On this recent assignment, he served as a crew boss and manned a 20-man team while assisting as a sawyer, a person who saws timber. “What ‘interagency’ means is the DNR, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Parks, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, there’s people on our crew from all of those groups so we’re called an interagency group and that’s real common to have when responding to forest fires,” he said. “What ‘initial attack’ means is what we try to do is go catch it when they’re small, but obviously it doesn’t happen a lot. “The Forest Service is ultimately who dispatches us. … It’s a well-oiled machine. Basically though, you have a lot of professional people out there that do this for a living that are Type I I.A. teams which are called ‘hot shots.’ They’re professionals and for the whole summer that’s what they do. Once they start getting depleted, that’s when they start calling the eastern area crews.” Any person can sign up to join the initial attack groups, White said. “Anybody can join. Anybody can do it,” he said. “We take guys out that from over. Now the problem with that is you have to be able to get off work … and the packs are heavy.” While on site, White and his team were tasked with “pinch” a fire. “What you do on a fire, you try to find an anchor point to anchor at the heel of it, the back of it,” he explained. “If the wind’s driving it this

way then you try to split your crew up on a small fire and you try to pinch it from the sides and pinch it off while it’s still small.” However, White said that putting out forest fires is more difficult than it seems. “Mother Nature has got to cooperate with you for you to be able to put fires out,” he said. “The wind has to die down, relative humidity is huge is putting out fires. If it drops down into the single digits, you better look out. Temperature, relative humidity, wind – they’re huge factors in if you can put out wildfires.” Throughout his 16 years of volunteer service, White has responded to more than just forest fires. “I started (working) for the DNR in 1993 and I went on my first fire in 1999,” he recalled. “I get to see a lot of places that few people have seen. I’ve been to a lot of wilderness areas. I’ve been to Minnesota on fire missions and I forget the name of the wilderness area there, but we were some of the only boats with motors that have been in the wilderness areas in years because we were allowed to use them (while providing fire relief).” “Our crew will do what they call ‘all hazard work’ and that e n c o m p a s s e d (Hurricane) Katrina. We had a few people go out to 9-11 (the twin towers disaster) – it wasn’t me obviously, but we were doing some good things (after these disasters).” White said his favorite experience was working in Biloxi, Miss., after Hurricane Katrina. His crew was stationed in the Beauvoir Confederate Veteran’s Cemetery with orders to cut down live oak trees that had fallen over during the storm. “If you think about it – and I never realized this before – the biggest trees will be in cemeteries and parks,” White said. “Any ways, they put us in this cemetery and we’re thinking, ‘Man. All this stuff ’s going on and we’re stuck in a cemetery (continued on page 28)

cutting up trees.’ “Well, the interesting thing was we got the first little lane in the cemetery opened up and all of a sudden here comes the hearses. They had all these bodies piling up and they had no way to get them buried so really we were actually making a little bit of a difference, but we didn’t understand it until then.” There are two determining factors for when he responds to a crisis situation with the Type II I.A. group, he said. “It depends on how severe and I’ve also got a full-time job and I try not to create any hardship on them,” White said. “A fire is typically 14-21 days plus travel, so you know you’re gone for three weeks at a time. So I’ve got to be careful in not creating hardship because I’ve got to keep my boss happy. But it’s nice to get out twice a year.” This year, the disas-

need. $500 per area is allotted to help active teachers with special classroom p r o j e c t s . Applications for Scholarships and one time gifts and active teacher class-

room projects are due by September 30, and will be chosen by a committee. Business Minutes are now sent by e-mail to the membership. The minutes were

approved. Treasurer’s Report – Bud Tully gave the treasurer’s report for June 18, 2015. A new budget for 20152016 that was approved by the officers in committee was submitted for approval from the membership. A second was made by Art Conner to accept the proposed budget. The motion passed. Project – The current project, “Change Changes Lives” will continue to support the Learn More Center which tutors candidates for the TASC test (formerly GED) and helps pay for the test. Collecting used postage stamps will begin as an additional project to help women in other countries to start cottage industries. The used stamps are sold on an international market and the proceeds are donated. Area 6 Fall Workshop – Paula Dyer, Area 6 Director, announced the September 24 Area 2 and 6 Fall Workshop at H u n t i n g t o n University. Tom Mellish, IRTA Executive Director, and former Wabash area teacher and coach, gave an overview of what IRTA is doing to help retired teachers. He announced that a new website will be in operation in midOctober to help improve communication. A video has been produced that shows hardships for retirees. A COLA is one of the things that IRTA works for every year, but it hits a dead end in the Senate after passing the House. It is estimated that retirees have suffered a 32% loss in groceries, and a 35 percent loss in utilities. They are hoping to have more meetings with the governor and his staff to deal with this. There is also a controversy concerning the defined benefit (which retirees have now) and the 401k, which the legislature is working toward. IRTA has 23,000 members, and there are over 55,000 retired teachers in Indiana. More mem-

bers are needed for better representation. AMBA offers benefits for retired teachers, as well. There will also be a workshop at a later date dealing with reinvestment of annuities for those who are taking the Required Minimum Distribution. There are also scholarships and other opportunities offered by the IRTA Foundation. Next Meeting of the WCRTA will be on Oct. 15, 2015, at White’s Residential and Family Services. Upcoming Events SHIP Medicare counseling to inform retirees about the best prices and coverage for Medicare Part B and prescriptions will begin during Oct. 15 and Dec.7 open enrollment.
