Wabash to honor Karsyn’s memory

River Trail breaks ground

Mayor to declare Karysyn Bratch Day on Sept. 17.

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com LAGRO - The Wabash River Trail (WRT) Phase 1 construction is underway in Lagro after breaking ground Monday, Aug. 22. Phase 1 of the proposed 33mile trail, which is planned to eventually connect Huntington, Wabash and Peru, will be approximately 6.6 miles and connect Lagro to Wabash. The trail is estimated to cost $1 million per mile, according to the WRT Committee. Currently, the construction is for Phase I Sub-Phase I, which will pave a path through Lagro from the east side of Kerr Lock to the end of Basin Street. While organizers hope to extend the first phase west to Wabash, not all the landowners between Lagro and Wabash have agreed to have the trail extend through their property. The WRT Committee denied to comment when requested by The Paper of Wabash County. However, nothing is set in stone yet, WRT board member Mark Frantz told The Paper in August.“The actual path the Wabash River Trail will ultimately follow is not decided, and is contingent upon the approval of the property owners involved,” Frantz told The Paper in an email. “Several different routes have been identified, and currently we are trying to receive approval from the property owners on what has been chosen as the most desirable route for the trail. If some property owners decline to allow the trail to be constructed on their property then alternate routes will be explored.”

Rotary golf outing enters 25th year Annual event serves as UF kickoff By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The 2016 Wabash County United Fund drive will kick off Wednesday, Sept. 14, with the annual Rotary Club Golf Outing at the Honeywell Golf Course. Lunch, served by Miller’s Merry Manor, will begin at noon with a 1 p.m. tee time. This is the 25th anniversary for the event, according to Dave Dorais, a Wabash Rotarian who serves on the golf committee. “I’ve been involved with 24 (UF outings),” Dorais told The Paper of Wabash County. “I missed the first one. I joined Rotary the year after and jumped on the (golf) committee. “Dave Mann started it out.” UF Executive Director Steve Johnson said it’s hard to believe that the event is now in its 25th

year. “It’s a really fine community event for the kickoff of the United Fund Campaign,” he said. “It really sets the pace for the whole campaign.” UF Board Chair Tim Stiglich agreed. “It’s a great way to kick off the campaign, jump start it so we can get to where we can provide the funds for our agencies so we can improve the quality of life in Wabash.” This year’s drive goal is $250,000, Johnson said, which will benefit 19 local agencies. The newest agency is the Blessings in a Backpack program in North Manchester. As usual, golfers will have a chance to win two big prizes by shooting a hole-in-one. Dorais Chevrolet is offering a 2016 Chevrolet Cruze while Brandt’s Harley-Davidson is offering a motorcycle as hole-in-one prizes. (continued on page 2)

Saturday, Sept. 17 will be Karsyn Bratch Day in the City of Wabash, according to an ordinance by Mayor Scott Long. Karsyn, a local 12-year-old girl, passed away in October 2015 after an eight-year battle with childhood cancer. However, before she passed, Karsyn raised more than $70,000 for the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation’s Pediatric Cancer Research Lab at the Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis through Kick It with Karsyn, an annual pediatric cancer fundraising program and kickball tournament. “Karsyn truly loved the Kick It for Karsyn event because it gave her the opportunity to experience her community and make a difference for research,” Larry Graff, Kick It event coordinator, said. “She knew the importance of childhood cancer research and this event furthers her incredible legacy to ensure that every child diagnosed with cancer is guaranteed a safe and effective cure.” Graff and Karsyn’s family will continue her legacy with the annual kickball tournament on Sept. 17. However, this year the event will be renamed Kick It for Karsyn in honor of her memory. “Karsyn was a fighter who inspired so many of us during her time here on Earth,” Long said. “This is a way for our community to continue her legacy and fight against childhood cancer.” (continued on page 3)

Mann told The Paper that the golf outing was designed as a way to help the United Fund, which was struggling to find a way to kick off the annual fund drive. “The United Fund campaign was struggling on having something getting started,” he said. “I was thinking about it one day and I knew that at that time there were 18 agencies that were receiving help from our local United Fund. “The number 18 and 18 holes of golf just kind of struck me, so I suggested that maybe we look at having a golf outing.” He spoke with some other Rotarians and the group decided to host the outing to kick off the campaign. “I didn’t want it to be my outing,” Mann said. “The Rotary got behind it with me, and it’s been a Rotary project all of those years.” In the early days, golfers were able to win prizes on all the holes, he recalled. “In the early years, it was some goofy stuff,” he said. “For example, the most putts on No.6, because of the way the green sloped. If somebody had four or five putts on the

hole, they recorded that and we saw who had the most. They won a prize. It might have been a sleeve of golf balls, or if someone donated an umbrella.” Another contest awarded a prize to the golfer who put the most number of balls into a water hazard. One year, a Rotarian was having trouble selling an old car, Mann said. He brought the car to the golf outing and it was placed on hole No.7, where some of the trees are located. “People tend to slice,” he said. “So we put a sign on it that said anyone who hit the car would put their name in a hat and we’d draw for the car at the end of the day. “ G e o r g e Washington had his name in there. And there were several people who had their name in the hat. A guy who, I think worked at Container Corporation at the time and lived down around LaFontaine, won it. “He got in, started it up and drove it home. He was happy as a lark. “We just did some silly things to make if fun for the golfer and the non-golfer alike.” Like the others, Mann is amazed that the first event took

place 25 years ago. “It’s hard to believe it’s been that long,” he said. “Dave Dorais, Art Jasen and Brad Farlow kind of took it over after the first few years and have continued to do a great job with it. It’s been just a fun event.” Re p r e s e n t a t iv e s from the various United Fund agencies staff the golf holes and pass out information about their respective organization. “We wanted to get people familiar with the various agencies that were receiving proceeds from United Fund,” Mann said. “It was either the second or third year we were doing that it was going to be raining, so we moved (the agencies) into the cart barn, and we had the golfers … drive through the cart barn. “One of the benefits of that was that some of the agencies, really didn’t know what some of the agencies did and what services they provided, so between the time the golf carts were rolling through they were conversing and talking, and it’s amazing how they themselves got to know what different agencies in the community were doing as well.”

Wabash to honor Karsyn’s memory

...continued from the front page

Karsyn’s positive attitude during her fight against cancer was what inspired so many people, according to Bill Burchett, Karsyn’s stepfather and co-founder of the Kick It for Karsyn event. “Karsyn didn’t

know a stranger and truly loved knowing that everyone gathered for her to play kickball,” Burchett said. “To her, everybody there was her friend. She would be so happy to know that we are continuing the fight to help

other children with cancer.” The Kick It for Karsyn kickball tournament will begin with a special opening ceremony at the Field of Dreams Morrett Sports Complex at 10 a.m. on Sept. 17.

Teams will consist of eight to 10 players to compete in both competitive and family-friendly brackets. Those interested in registering a team may do so by visiting bit.ly/karsyn2016. Registration must be completed by Sept.

10. Volunteer opportunities are also available for the event. For more information visit facebook.com/Karsy nKickIt. To donate to the cause, visit bit.ly/karsyn2016.

VIEWPOINT Rehab, not jail, is the answer

Don’t wait for state to step in

Dear Editor: I was recently moved by an article I read in The Paper of Wabash County concerning the opposition of building a new jail. I agree 100 percent with Mrs. Short, and I feel there are many other citizens of Wabash County who would agree that a rehabilitation center would be a better investment not only for the people with these drug addictions, but also for the community as a whole. Why continue to spend tax dollars on locking up non-violent drug offenders who need help and instead, put that money toward saving and changing lives? I have experienced first hand what a jail or prison sentence can do to some of these young impressionable adults. Many of them do fall victim to bad influences during their incarceration and unfortunately come out of jail or prison not learning a thing other than how to be a better criminal. It also is a fact that drugs are more readily available in prison that they are in our community. How is that helping in treating an addiction? Addiction is a disease and I believe it should be treated as such. Wouldn’t we feel better knowing that our hard earned tax dollars are improving lives and making positive changes for the future of our youth instead of locking them in a cage surrounded by real hardened criminals? Some of these youths need that opportunity and they need to know someone cares. That could make all the difference in the world. – Donald G. Stevens III, Bunker Hill

Dear Editor: At the meetings at Northfield and Southwood with the MSD board and administrative personnel, it appeared there was a majority of people who desired that the Metropolitan and Wabash school boards and administrative staffs talk and find ways to work together. There is no doubt that both school districts are facing dire situations and far-reaching decisions need to be adapted. The declining student population at MSD is projected to reach 1,400-1,500 students in the near future. This is approximately the number of students at Wabash City Schools. The rate of administration, extra-curricular activities, efficient class size and many other costs are becoming more difficult to justify. The comprehensive education needed to meet today’s requirements is becoming harder to achieve and /or expand. These are just some of the problems that the two districts face by operating separately. In a study authorized by Gov. Mitch Daniels in 2007, a simple suggestion was offered: “Eliminate all school districts with fewer than 2,000 students.”

Letters to the Editor Three of the major educational conclusions from that report are as follows: — Small schools are inefficient. On average schools account for 54 percent of all the property taxes collected in Indiana. The survey concluded, by consolidating the school districts to a minimum number of 2,000 students, it would reduce administrative staff cost per student as compared to smaller districts. This provision will also reduce the percentage of staff per teacher (positions like teacher’s aides, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, janitors and so forth.) — Small schools cannot provide a comprehensive education. Small school corporations are unable to provide the diversity of programming available at larger districts. The report goes on to say, many small schools are unable to meet the state’s minimum graduation requirements. — There is an optimal size for schools. The report claims that school

districts between 2,000 and 6,000 students represent the ideal balance between efficiency and educational achievement, allowing the district to maintain small class size while still having the resources to offer a variety of programming (data from the Indiana Department of Education.) The MSD completely surrounds the Wabash City Schools district making consolidation a viable, efficient, educationally responsible and fiscally accountable alternative for the two districts. Recently the Indiana general Assembly considered a bill that would have forced consolidation on any district with less than 2,000 students. This bill failed to pass but how soon will a similar bill come forth? It will be much more acceptable for the two school districts to put forth a consolidation venture using their own terms than to be forced by state law. – Larry Curless, Wabash

Tomorrow is never promised Dear Editor: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27 One day we are all going to stand before Jesus to be judged after we die. Jesus is going to see if we accepted him into our hearts, if we repented our sins and followed him, if we denied him and died in our sins. He will tell us depart from me for I never knew you into the Lake of Fire you go with the devil and his angels. The Lake of Fire is a real place. There is no escape. The fire never goes out. There is great loneliness and darkness, wailing and gnashing of teeth, eternal separation from God, eternal punishment and torment and great agony and misery. Our souls will feel pain in Hell. It is our sin and choices that put us there. While being judged by Jesus there will be no lawyer to defend us. If we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, lived for him

and repented of our sins. Jesus will tell us enter into thy rest, they good and faithful servant. Heaven is a place of great beauty, eternal rest and peace, no more sorrow or pain. We get new bodies and a mansion built by God, walk streets of gold, judge angels, family reunions and be coheirs with Christ. Religion won’t get anybody into heaven, but a relationship with Jesus, a trust and belief type relationship with Jesus is what gets us into heaven. God is a relationship type of God. They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved – you and your household.” Acts 16:31 If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 Life is short and fleeting and we aren’t promised tomorrow. Eternity is forever. – Mike Peare, Huntington

Local organizations help out one another Dear Editor: Every year in July, the Peru Lions Club puts on a week long breaded tenderloin fry as a part of the Peru City Circus Festival. This is a large fundraiser for their club and also for our club in Richvalley. Since the beginning of this event, more than 30 years ago, the workload has been shared between the

two clubs. Over the years it has expanded into a full six days of volunteer work. Each day is split into 18 3 ½ shifts for each club and that adds up to a huge number of volunteer hours to work. For several years now, Richvalley hasn’t been able to cover all their time slots so we have partnered with the Miami County 4-H Fair Board and asked them

Richvalley Lions Club’s 1st Vice President Doug Simons presented a check along with a letter of appreciation to Blain Richardson from the Miami County 4-H Fair Board for their help at local festivals over the summer. Photo provided

to furnish enough volunteers to fill any of our open spots. At the end of the event we simply calculate how many hours were worked by each team and split the profits accordingly. At our Aug. 11 meeting, 1st Vice President Doug Simons presented a check along

with a letter of appreciation to Blain Richardson from the Miami County 4-H Fair Board for their tremendous help during this years festival. — Doug Simons, Richvalley Lions Secretary

350-plus to ride in Dam to Dam By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com More than 350 bicycle enthusiasts from at least 11 states will travel the back roads of Wabash County on Sunday, Sept. 11 during the seventh annual Dam to Dam Century Ride. Participants can pedal 100 miles or less along the Wabash County Trail, passing some 16 points of historical interest along the way. “We’ve got riders from Colorado, Illinois, Ohio, K e n t u c k y , Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington State and Michigan,” according to Christine Flohr, director of tourism for the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau. “And we’ve got riders from all around Indiana.” About 70 percent of the registered riders, so far, are newcomers to the ride, she said. “We have a pretty good repeat rate, so as riders get accustomed to the way the event is laid out, they wait until closer (to the date) to sign up. “They definitely watch the weather, especially if they’re not driving that far.” Joining the ride this year will be special guest James Lawrence, also known as “The Iron Cowboy.” A Utah resident, Lawrence is the holder of two Guinness World Records. In 2012, Lawrence set a world record for completing the most Ironman-distance triathlons in one year. He finished 30 races in 11 countries. In August 2015, he set another record, completing 50 triathlons in 50 days in 50 states. He started in Hawaii, the competed the next day in Alaska before competing in the 48 continental United States over the next 48 days. An Ironman triathlon consists of swimming 2.4 miles, cycling 112 miles and running a marathon – 26.2 miles. Local residents Adam Stakeman, Mike Paul and Roger Peebles were instrumental in getting

Riders make their way along a country road during the 2015 Dam to Dam Century Ride. The Paper file photo Lawrence to participate in this year’s ride, Flohr said. The trio are avid cyclists, she said, and Stakeman also is a triathlete. “They heard about James Lawrence doing this 50 by 50 by 50 and they actually rode with him when he did his section in Indiana last year in July,” Flohr continued. “They went and rode with him and they garnered a relationship with him and at that point – it

was kind of early to the mid-part of his 50 by 50 by 50 – so because he hadn’t attracted this massive crowd yet, they had some one-on-one time with him. “They rode with him, chatted with him and exchanged numbers.” In February, the Dam to Dam Century Ride committee began discussing what program to present the Saturday night before the ride.

Iron Cowboy, to see if he’d be interested in coming,” Flohr recalled. “Adam reached out to him.” His visit almost didn’t happen, she continued, because he had entered his name in a lottery to ride a 200-mile ride that same weekend. Lawrence’s name wasn’t selected, so he agreed to ride participate in the Wabash County ride. Through his work, Lawrence is attempting to draw attention to childhood obesity. “While he’s here on Friday morning, he will do a convocation for students of Wabash County at the Ford Theater,” Flohr said, noting that students from Wabash City, M a n c h e s t e r Community and MSD of Wabash Count will fill the theater to hear Lawrence’s talk and participate in a question and answer session. The convocation

will be carried live on Wabash WebTV. On Saturday, Stakeman will take Lawrence to the visit some of the outdoor sports and recreation venues around Wabash County. They also will likely visit the Mississinewa Reservoir, where part of the Dam to Dam Century Ride takes place, to watch its annual Mississinewa Triathlon. On Saturday evening, Lawrence will put on another program, this one at Eugenia’s in the Honeywell Center, for sponsors of the Dam to Dam ride. If there is room, the event could be opened to the public. “It will be an altered version of what he officers to the students,” Flohr said, “more for an adult audience.” Lawrence will likely talk about more than just healthy living, she said, noting he’ll be talking about “a balance of life and

being persistent and consistent with the way your live.” “There’s a balance there between having a job and having a family, and he does it,” she continued. “He’s married and has five children.” On Sunday, Lawrence will arrive at the Wabash County YMCA in time for breakfast, then leave with a group of riders from the Rock City Bicycle Club about 8 a.m. “James will continue on with that group until it gets to the first (support and gear) location, and then he might pick up the pace a little bit,” Flohr said. “He does enjoy the companionship of other cyclists and is looking forward to engaging with other cyclists.” While the large group is leaving at 8 a.m., riders can leave as early as 7:30 a.m. and no later than 9:30 a.m. Lunch will be avail-

able at the YMCA following the event. “We’re grateful to Miller’s Merry Manor for providing breakfast and lunch,” Flohr said. There also are two new activities related to the race, she said. Cheerleaders from Wabash High School will be on hand to cheer for the riders as the race begins. At the end of the race, volunteers from the Wabash Elks Lodge No.471 will be on hand to cheer the riders as they close in on the finish line. “For some of our riders, this might be the first year they ride the 500mile or this might be the first year they ride the century,” Flohr said. “When you’re closing in on an event, and you spectators there cheering you, it reenergizes the rider. “With people cheering you on, you stop looking at how tired you are and more on ‘let’s finish this.’”

Minister Oakes retires from Treaty Church of Christ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com TREATY - After 10 1/2 years of leading the flock at Church of Christ at Treaty, Minister Doug Oakes preached his last sermon on Sunday, Aug. 28, and officially retired. For 45 years, Oakes together with his wife, Karen, have been helping people learn and grow with God. “I’ve really committed my life to ministry (since) I was 13,” Oakes told The Paper of Wabash County. “This has been what I wanted to do, so I’ve been blessed that I could do what I love. I love to preach. I love to develop sermons and messages for people to understand the Bible, to see how it can affect them and light up their lives. “So I won’t get to do that as much (after I retire), but after 45 years, I’ve had plenty of time to preach a lot of sermons.” The Oakeses arrived in Wabash County in December 2005 after they decided it was time to continue on from their previous congregation. “I ministered in Lamar, Mo., which is a small farming community just north of Joplin, Mo., for 20 years,” Oakes said, “and it was just time to make a move. Our boys had grown and left.” “And they (Treaty Church) had been looking for a minister,” Mrs. Oakes added.

“We were a little overwhelmed by the quilt, how much work

Doug and Karen Oakes pose for a photo beside a giant, handcrafted quilt, which was a gift from the Church of Christ at Treaty congregation. Oakes (left) served as the church’s minister since 2005 and retired following his final sermon Sunday, Aug. 28. Photo by Emma Rausch Since joining Treaty Church, Oakes said he felt very welcome in the Wabash community and was glad to have helped continue the local congregation’s journey with God. “This congregation had been a mature church so they had a lot of members that had been Christians all their lives,” he said. “So when you come into a situation like that, you don’t necessarily have to start from ground zero like you would with a brand new church. “We came with the desire to help them to grow in both their faith as well as their maturity.” From celebrating the church’s 100th anniversary in 2010 to leading the children’s

Christmas choir, the Oakeses have enjoyed forming deep bonds with Treaty Church’s congregation. “It’s been really rewarding,” Mrs. Oakes said. “They’ve been a real nurturing and real loving church with good people.” “(My favorite) thing for me would be the people,” Oakes added. “We developed close ties and friendships with the people here and it’s going to be very hard to leave because they’re friends and also fellow believers that have a common bond in wanting to serve Christ.” However, while it will be missed, the couple decided it’s time to move on. The next journey will be to care for Oakes’ father

To commemorate the Oakeses’ time at Treaty Church, the congregation crafted a quilt complete with family names, favorite scriptures and depictions of memories shared with the couple.

County couple among River Friendly Farmer Award honorees By The Paper staff

A Wabash County couple was among 54 Indiana farm families to receive a River

Friendly Farmer Award this year. The couple, George and Norma Schneider, along with farm families from 43 other

Indiana counties, were honored at a ceremony that coincided with Farmers’ Day at the 2016 Indiana State Fair on Aug. 17.

The honorees were recognized by the Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts (IASWCD) for their

ISDA Director Ted McKinney, (front row/far right) joined the 54 recipients who were able to attend the ceremony at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, for the 2016 River Friendly Farmer awards. NRCS State Conservationist Jane Hardisty, (front row second from the right), and Indiana Farm Bureau President Randy Kron, (front row third, from the right) were also on hand to congratulate farmers for their outstanding conservation farming practices Photo provided. commitment to protecting Indiana’s natural resources, specifically Indiana’s waterways. Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director, Ted McKinney, and President of Indiana Farm Bureau, Randy Kron, along with State Conservationist, Jane Hardisty, and IASWCD President, Mike Starkey, and Meghan Grebner from Brownfield Ag News presented the awards to the winning farmers. The Schneiders live on a 300-acre farm in

southern Wabash County. A conservation mindset was instilled in them from a young age by their parents. Now, by maintaining conservation practices such as grassed waterways, filter strips and planting trees, they have created wildlife habitat and saved soil from leaving their farm, keeping it out of the local streams. Schneider said conservation practices are important to their operation “for better crops, to save the soil, for the environment and to improve air and water quality.”

Since 1999, key conservation and agricultural organizations have sponsored the River-Friendly Farmer Program. This years’ River-Friendly Farmers were selected for this award by their local Soil and Water Conservation District based upon their management practices which help keep rivers, lakes and streams clean in Indiana and beyond. The award is sponsored by the IASWCD, the 92 local Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc.

his congregation, it’d be “to continue to remain faithful in their Lord and to continue to reach out to people with the love of Christ,” Oakes said. “That’s what we’re all about, though that’s what I’ve been preaching for the past

10 1/2 years so that’s nothing new,” Oakes said with a smile, “and they all are committed to that same principle. “It’s been a great blessing to be here for 10 1/2 years. We’ve really enjoyed it.”

Wabash donates supplies to assist devastated Kokomo need. “My dad is (an electrical) lineman in

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash County citizens, organizations and businesses gathered supplies last week to provide relief support for Kokomo’s tornado victims. At approximately 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 24, a tornado blew through Kokomo and damaged more than 1,000 residential structures, including a Starbucks located on U.S. 35 and State Road 22, according to an Indiana State Police press release. As the ongoing assessment continued in the days that followed, the injury count remained at 15 to 20 people reported minor injuries, most of which were a result of flying debris, the release continued. No deaths were reported. As of Friday, Aug. 26, approximately 5,755 homes and businesses were without power, according to Duke Energy. The largest concentration of damage

Wabash High School Student Council members (from left) Kelsie Olinger, Kenda Mullen, Hope Decker and Cheyenne King pose for a photo with the supplies they purchased and donated to victims of the Kokomo tornado on Wednesday, Aug. 24. Photo by Emma Rausch was in the area of S.R. 931, south of SR 22, according to the ISP release. With a neighboring community in need of assistance, several Wabash County organizations answered the call. On Thursday, Aug. 25, Wabash Midwest Eye Consultants became a donation drop-off site for items including snacks, water, cleaning supplies and toiletry items. On Friday, Wabash

High School’s Student Council members purchased “five carts” worth of supplies including toilet paper, water and trash bags to personally deliver to the Kokomo Event and Conference Center, according to Jeff Galley, WHS vice principal. Student Council members Kenda Mullen, Cheyenne King, Hope Decker and Kelsie Olinger individually contacted their representative Amy Oswalt to

“do something for the people of Kokomo (and) show their support,” Galley told The Paper of Wabash County on Friday. “It’s days like this that remind me why our students are the best,” Galley said. “Everything from start to finish was student led and driven. (These girls are) great young adults that want to make a difference in the world.” For Mullen, it’s about doing her part to assist others in

Kokomo helping out so I thought I should do my part to also

help out,” she said. “Natural disasters (continued on page 15)

King said. “We’re all of the same state and we’re all people that need help,” she said. “People need to come together and help each other out. It’s easier for everyone if that happens.” On Sunday, Aug. 28,

the Wabash County YMCA also gathered donations at its third a n n u a l Toogetherhood event,

a volunteer-program that leads more than 300 people each year to help more than 20 local organizations

with projects such as painting, picking up trash and washing buses.

By The Paper staff The Heartland Career Center received more than $250,000 in Computer Numerical Control equipment. CNC Machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools. Tools that can be controlled in this manner include lathes, mills, routers and grinders. “Our ability to receive over $250,000 worth of CNC equipment is due to collaboration with Ivy Tech through its YCC (Youth Career Connect) grant and

through its $20,000 matching funds to receive the Skill Up grant.” The Skill up grant not only benefited Heartland but also career centers throughout Northeast Indiana.

being discussed in Washington affect the work Crossroads Bank does every day. “We believe Rep. Walorski wants what is best for Wabash and the communities we serve,” said Roger C r o m e r ,

President/Chief Executive Officer. “This visit allowed Crossroads Bank to give our local representative in Congress a hometown perspective on banking that they can take with them to Washington.”

It’s safe to say that Danny Hutton has had an interesting career in music. He once was employed as a writer and musician for Hanna-Barbera, and even was a character in an episode of “The Flintstones.” Along the way, he befriended Brian Wilson, the founding member of The Beach Boys, and was in the studio to see the recording of one of the iconic albums of the 1960s, “Pet Sounds.” In the 1980s, he managed punk bands,

including the band Fear, which was featured in the documentary “The Decline of W e s t e r n Civilization,” and was the featured band on an episode of “Saturday Night Live,” at the insistence of the late John Belushi. But Hutton is best known as one of three vocalists with the band, Three Dog Night. Hutton, founding guitarist Michael Allsup, and the rest of the band will perform Friday night at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. “They’re going to hear a lot of hits well done, and there will be a few surprises,” Hutton told The Paper of Wabash County in a telephone interview from Manhattan, where the band recently played for

he said. “To pick back up to speed sometimes it takes a little while. I would rather have everybody feeling good and not getting rusty.” “I like performing and I don’t ever want to retire, so I’m good with kicking it up.” His major concern, he said, is for the road

Wabash library announces kid programming By The Paper staff

The Wabash Carnegie Public Library invites the community of Wabash to participate in library storytimes this fall. In the same nature of past storytimes, there will be songs, stories, and simple activities intended to help parents share things with their children to boost reading readiness. All of the storytimes in this session will be

derived from the Very Ready Reading Program, a researched based storytime curriculum based on the 7 days-7 ways philosophy, which recommends seven activities that can be shared with children daily. Storytime will take place Thursday mornings Sept. 22 -Nov. 10. There will be a 10 a.m. session for young children age 3-6 and another at 11 a.m. for toddlers, ages 18 months to 3 years.

Bedtime Stories and Snacks will be held Mondays at 7pm beginning Sept. 19. This is a quick storytime for busy families who are unavailable for day time storyhours. Favorite puppet plays, stories, and snacks will be offered. These programs are created with a broad range of ages in mind. So, older and younger siblings are welcome. Monday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. will be Library Fort Night. Kids and

their caregivers are invited to build their blanket forts at the library. Library personnel will dim the lights in the Children’s Room and adults can read with their little ones underneath their own blanket forts. This will be followed by a snack time. People are asked to bring their own sheets, blankets, or pillows and the library will provide the chairs and tables to build on. Registration is

required for all storytimes and can be done in person or by phone. Community members can also register by phone at 260-563-2972. Also, every Wednesday after school, beginning September 28 from 3:454:45, a Lego club will meet in the library’s program room. Duplo blocks and legos will be provided by the library. Kids need only bring their imagination!

Manchester University hosts annual Eel River clean up By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com NORTH MANCHESTER – M a n c h e s t e r University students and North Manchester locals are returning to the banks of the Eel River Saturday, Sept. 10, for the annual Eel River Watershed Initiative clean up. A university led event since 2009, volunteers from across the community are welcome to join the initiative, according to Herb Manifold, MU Environmental Studies grant coordinator. “It’s part of a larger grant that we’re a part of from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management so part of our educational

outreach includes this river clean up,” he said, “and every year … we’ll do different parts of the river and pick up anything from loose metal, old refrigerators, mattresses, bottles, plastics, pretty much anything that’s in the river that shouldn’t.” Volunteers remove debris that was dumped locally and upstream as well, he continued. “Every year … we have at least one or two pretty good rain events per year and it moves trash down from upstream that previous years we didn’t pick up because it wasn’t here,” Manifold explained. From North Manchester’s covered bridge to El Mezquite, volunteers will walk 1.5 miles to clean out the Eel River, accord-

ing to Manifold. “The river that we have here is, whether we like it or not, connected (to other communities),” he continued. “Everybody who’s upstream affects us and we affect everyone who happen to be downstream of us all the way down to Gulf of Mexico. “So whatever help we can provide to the Eel River here, it makes it more beautiful river not only in our area but it increases its beauty as it flows down.” The clean up will begin at 8:30 a.m. and continue until noon. Those interested in volunteering may meet the group at the North Manchester Street Department located at 407 Wabash Road in North Manchester, across

from El Mezquite. Volunteers will be working in the river, filling boats with trash as the group makes its way down the Eel River. All volunteers must wear appropraite attire and tennis shoes or boots are required. Due to the presence of large amounts of broken glass and rusted metal, adult volunteers or children older than 7-years-old with adult supervision are preferred. Volunteerswill be provided gloves, trash bags, water and a light lunch. For more information, call Manifold at 260-982-5101 or email hfmanifold@manchester.edu.

Purdue survey: Indiana farmland values continue dropping From Purdue University WEST LAFAYETTE - Indiana farmland values have continued their downward trend of last year, with average declines of 8.2 to 8.7 percent depending on land quality, according to the 2016 Purdue Farmland Value Survey. Declines of this size have not been seen since the mid-1980s. Over the past two years, the average farmland value has fallen about 13 percent. The declines are largely the result of tighter profit margins from low commodity prices. Cash rents - the amount a farmer pays to rent land to farm also declined for the second consecutive year. “The collapse in grain prices and the impact of tighter gross margins are working their way through the agricultural economy,” wrote Purdue agricultural economists Craig Dobbins and Kim Cook, authors of the report. “While the underlying reasons for multiple years of tight gross margins

now are not the same as in the 1980s, a series of years with downward adjustments in farmland values and cash rents like the 1980s may still be the result.” The survey shows that top- and averagequality farmland fell by an average of 8.2 percent from last year, and poor-quality farmland declined by 8.7 percent. Top land fell from $9,266 per acre to $8,508, average land from $7,672 to $7,041 and poor land from $5,863 to $5,353. The downward change in farmland values was consistent across the five regions of the state, according to the report. The North had the largest year-to-year drop, with declines of 14.2 percent, 10.7 percent and 10.2 percent for top, average and poor farmland, respectively. The authors noted that declines of at least 10 percent are rare. “In addition, the farmland value change in this region did not support the conventional wisdom of top-quality land maintaining its value better than lowerquality farmland in a

(

downturn,” they wrote. This year’s decline in cash rents across all land qualities was the largest since 1987. Over the past year, cash rents declined by an average of 9.8 percent to 10.9 percent. Top land had an average cash rent of $257 per acre, average land $204 per acre and poor land $157 per acre. The survey respondents indicated that they believe there will be a continuation of low grain prices, low and stable long-term interest rates and low inflation rates. If they prove to be correct, the authors said there is likely to be slower growth in farmland earnings and that producers’ per-unit cost of production would need to be lowered further. “Lowering per-unit cost of production will take time and will likely be a combination of adjustments in lower input costs, higher yields, and lower cash rents and farmland values, each contributing a small change,” they wrote. Respondents expected farmland values to fall an additional 1.9 percent to

2.2 percent during the last half of 2016, Long-term, the direction is less clear. “Respondents were divided just about equally across higher, no change and lower,” the authors said. Those expecting farmland values to be higher in five years projected an average increase of 7.6 percent. Those expecting declines projected an average decline of 9.5 percent. When asked to project cash rents for 2017, respondents expected a further decline of 4.5 percent. The annual Purdue Farmland Value Survey is based on responses from rural appraisers, commercial bank and Farm Credit MidAmerica agricultural loan officers, Farm Service Agency personnel, farm managers and farmers. The results provide information about the general level and trend in farmland values and cash rents. The survey does not indicate specific values for an individual farm.

Trine spoils Spartans’ 2016 football opener From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER – A fan who might have taken a casual look at the scoreboard following the annual in-state non-conference NCAA Division III clash between Manchester University and Trine University wouldn’t have gotten the whole story. While the Thunder claimed their second straight win in the series by a 23-9 count in front of a loud crowd of better than 2,000 at Carl W. Burt Memorial Field, head coach Nate Jensen won’t soon forget his first game on the sidelines with the Spartans. “We competed the whole game,” he said at a post-game press conference following the season opener. “The difference was pretty much that from last year to this. We had the entire

team in the game from beginning to end due to a great group of fans and some good days of practice leading up. Defense was the story early on as the two sides combined for just 10 points in the first 30 minutes. After TU marched down the field early in the second half for a field goal to make it 10-3, junior running back Hunter Hardee (Fishers, Ind.), as he has done throughout his MU career, broke loose. Taking the hand-off from sophomore quarterback Tristan Chester (Charlestown, Ind.), he bolted right and made a nifty quick cut left and was off the races 60 yards for a touchdown. Trailing 10-9, the Black and Gold coaching staff dipped into its bag of tricks with a two-point try that narrowly missed and would have the home side a lead.

Huntington North defeated Manchester, 5-0, on Wednesday in boys tennis action. It was the Squires’ second loss last week. On Tuesday, Bluffton was awarded a 5-0 win when weather halted action and the teams were unable to reschedule the match. Weather was a factor in the Huntington North match as well. The Squires played outside for 20 minutes at Huntington before being forced to finish the match in Huntington’s auxiliary gym.

Triathlon coming to Mississinewa From the DNR

“We were looking to really change momentum there,” Jensen noted. “(The play) just didn’t get executed.” Other big numbers for the Black and Gold came from sophomore wide receiver Louis Medina (Frankfort, Ind.) and senior tight end Brandon Webb (Fort Wayne, Ind.) who each caught four passes from Chester and the linebacking tandem of senior Nathan Birk (Indianapolis, Ind.) and junior Jack Kay (Williamsport, Ind.). Birk finished with 14 tackles, a fumble recovery and forced fumble, while Kay added 10. The Spartans continue their pre-conference slate against the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association, hosting Alma College Saturday, Sept. 10. Kickoff is 6 p.m.

Mississinewa Lake will host its annual triathlon will start at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 10. A Kids’ Fun Run at 8:10 a.m. Participants will swim 500 yards in Mississinewa Lake.

Three Dog Night singer has interesting career ...continued from page 18 Country,” “One,” “Easy to be Hard,” “Mama Told Me Not to Come,” “Never Been to Spain,” “Old Fashioned Love Song” and “Joy to the World.” “They were great songs,” Hutton said of the band’s success. “They don’t have a shelf life. They’re timeless because they aren’t about politics. They’re about emo-

tions. I think everyone can relate to a hook and a great melody.” And while the trio of singers — Chuck Negron and the late Cory Wells - garnered most of the attention, Hutton is quick to point out that Three Dog Night is and was a complete band. “We were, and I would stay still are, great live,” he said.

“We’re a live act. We weren’t manufactured. Everything on a record was a band, and everyone had been doing it – when we got together – everyone had been doing it for 10 years already.” It was Hutton’s friendship with the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson that eventually led to the band’s big break. Hutton, Negron

and Wells went into the studio and recorded Wilson’s song, “Darlin’” “He wrote the song about me because I was always saying ‘Darlin,’” Negron pointed out. The Beach Boys, who were on tour, came back and heard the finished product. The band removed the trio’s vocals and replaced it with their own.

Hutton holds no ill will for the change. “I can understand,” he said, “because if I was a Beach Boy and I came back from tour ad all of a sudden there’s these young guys and Brian had given them a hit song … I would do the same thing.” The trio’s manager suggested they put a band together and begin working as

soon as possible. “That’s what we did,” Hutton said. “We got a bunch of records we liked, backsides and songs that weren’t hits, put them all together.” After a few months of practice, the band had an audition for record companies at the Troubadour, a nightclub in West Hollywood, Calif. The performance led to a contract with

Dunhill Records. The representative wanted the band in the recording studio the following week, but members said they didn’t have material for an album. “He asked, ‘What did I just hear?’ Hutton recalled. “’That’s just some songs we put together,’ we said, and he said, ‘That’s your album.’ That was the start of it.”

City may add code enforcement officer By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A code enforcement officer may be joining the City Building Department in 2017. The Wabash City Council, during a budget hearing on Wednesday, Aug. 31, opted to add the position to the budget submitted by Building Commissioner John Stephens.

The idea was broached by Council member Mitch Figert. “Your plate is full,” he told Stephens. “One of the biggest issues in the city is ordinance violations, code violations, and we can’t expect you to be out inspecting new construction and things like that, and then be chasing people around for high grass and that. “Just curious on

your thoughts if money was available.” Stephens said it would be better to have someone strictly for code enforcement. “I think if they did the code enforcement they could also help with building inspections,” he said. “It’s not like it used to be 10 to 15 years ago. Building codes change all the time. Someone needs to

Department related matter, the council agreed to give Stephens a raise greater than the 2 percent all the other city employees will be getting. The council considers Stephens to be a department head, and brought his salary up to be equal with all the remaining department heads, Long later told The Paper of Wabash County that he has always considered Stephens to be a department head, and didn’t realize that his pay wasn’t equal to the other department heads. In another matter, it was announced that the Wabash Fire Department has money in its budget to

build a training facility behind the North Side Fire Station. The previous administration had been saving money – roughly $75,000 — to purchase a smoke trailer that simulates a burning building. However, Fire Chief Barry Stroup believes the training building would better suit not only the Wabash department, but can be used by local police and other departments within the county. The two-story structure will likely be a pole building with a brick or cement block wall on one side. That will allow firefighters and police to practice repelling, Stroup said. “It will be multiagency,” he said.

“We’ll be able to work with the police department.

It also will have a meeting room. The upstairs will have movable walls so the scenarios can be changed for search and rescue training. The also will be a garage area where a DNR boat that is kept at the station can be housed. Likewise, it can be used for mechanics that need to work on the department’s vehicles. In a final change, the Council added a 2 percent raise for Long to the budget. The mayor didn’t include one when he submitted his budget, noting that in the campaign he said he wouldn’t accept the raise. “I wasn’t going to take one, but several Council members and the clerk-treasurer said I should,” he said. “I could still say no. But the issue we run into – and we’ve thought about this in the past – if I were not to take a raise for four years, then in the fourth year it would be a large increase. “And then you worry about if your department heads get a two percent raise every year, how much difference will there be?

Local law enforcement arrest 4 on drug related charges By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A North Manchester man and three others from outside Wabash County were arrested between Aug. 16 and Aug. 19 on various drug-related charges. Wabash City Police arrested Robert H. Smith, 32, of Peru, on Tuesday, Aug. 16, after initially receiving a threat report. At approximately 1:22 a.m., WPD officers responded to a threat report at Wal-Mart, wherein the victims told officers that Smith had entered their home uninvited and threatened to harm them over several misplaced items, according to the probable cause affidavit. Meanwhile, Officer Philip Mickelson searched from Smith and eventually located him in his vehicle at Shell Gas Station, the court documents continued. After confirming Smith’s driving status as habitual traffic violator for life, Mickelson arrested Smith and, while doing so, located a clear plastic baggie containing a white powdery substance, according to the officer’s report. “I believed this white powdery substance from my training and experience to be methamphetamine,” Mickelson said. “I also located a capped syringe in his left front pocket.” Since no valid driver was present to remove the vehicle from the gas station, officers requested a tow truck to the scene, according to the affidavit. “I was advised that during the inventory of the vehicle, a black .38 revolver was located behind the passenger seat,” Mickelson said. Smith was charged with felony operating a vehicle after a lifetime suspension, felony dealing in methamphetamine, felony possession of a

hypodermic needle, misdemeanor carrying a handgun without a permit and felony carrying a handgun without a permit. Murray L. Marque, 27, of Indianapolis, was arrested Wednesday morning, Aug. 17, following a routine traffic stop. At approximately 2:39 a.m. on Wednesday, Mickelson initiated the routine stop on a vehicle that drifted left of center while southbound on Vernon Street, according to the probable cause affidavit. The vehicle also failed to come to a complete stop at the intersection of Vernon Street and SR 13, the court documents continued. Murray was a passenger in the vehicle, the officer continued. Corp. Josh Prater arrived with his K-9 unit to perform a free air sniff of the vehicle and positively alerted the officers, according to the affidavit. Officers located a loaded magazine and handgun on Murray and found methamphetamine by his seat as well, according to Mickelson. Murray was charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of a handgun without a license. On Friday, Aug. 19, Michael C. Crum, 34, of Silver Lake, and Roy L. Skeens, 32, North Manchester, were arrested after Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department officers attempted to initiate a routine traffic stop. At approximately 10:16 p.m. on Friday, Deputy Eric Riggs and Deputy Greg Daugherty were traveling west on SR 114 when he observed an eastbound vehicle with its license plate light out, according to the probable cause affidavit. After the officers made a U-turn to confirm if a registration plate existed on the vehicle, the subject vehicle made a left turn onto CR 400 West and

driving while suspended, misdemeanor resisting law enforcement, misdemeanor possession of a schedule I, II, III or IV controlled substance, misdemeanor possession of

drifted left of center, the court documents continued. As it approached CR 1300 North, the subject vehicle turn off all of its external lights, according to Riggs’ official statement. Daugherty activated his vehicle’s emergency lights, attempting to stop the vehicle, but it failed to yield, Riggs continued. The vehicle continued to evade officers as it ran several more stop signs and traveled through several bean fields before it collided with a ditch and became stuck, according to the affidavit. The driver, later identified as Crum, attempted

to flee the scene into another bean field while the two other passengers, including Skeens, waited beside the vehicle, the court documents continued. Officers eventually detained Crum, Skeens and the other passenger who was not charged, the documents continued. Following the search of the vehicle, officers located marijuana, drug paraphernalia and heroin, according to the affidavit. Crum was charged with felony resisting law enforcement with a vehicle, felony maintaining a common nuisance, felony possession of a hypodermic needle, misdemeanor

Another topic of discussion was sending Jeremy Milliner to a Isaac Walton League meeting to open lines of communication about the possibility of installing a “dry hydrant” at their pond so fire trucks will have access to refill their tanks in the event of a fire. Currently if they run out of water they go to Converse to replenish their supply. The Fire Department has a new member, Jeremy Milliner, bringing the total to eight firemen and they are still looking for two more recruits. A lot of work has been done in the park, weeding, watering trees, trimming and mowing. Thanks to all who have volunteered. The effort to save the Elm tree in the park may not have worked as it is losing leaves early. The pumpkin cake was running out so Ken Miller closed the meeting.

crafts display opening. At 6 p.m., the Indiana Garden Tractor Pullers Association will begin its first tractor pull of the week.

The only time you truly fail is when you give up. Welcoming obstacles in competition automatically increases the ability to find advantage in all the difficulties one meets in the course of one’s life.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

ROANN – The Roann Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) has new bunker gear thanks to a grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR). On Thursday, Aug. 25, the DNR awarded $5,000 to the local fire department for safety equipment, which helped purchase firefighting coats and pants to equip 20 firemen, according to Time Kersey, Roann VFD Secretary and Treasurer. “Our bunker gear now is 10-12 years old … and a lot of it’s torn and worn out,” Kersey told The Paper of Wabash County. “Without the (award), we could have been postponed another year or two with purchasing the gear. Thanks to the grant, the gear was purchased a lot sooner than expected.” Paw Paw Township also matched the DNR’s award and provided another $5,000 to the local volunteer fire department. The Roann department received financial assistance from Richland Township and Perry Township in Miami County for $20,000 and $1,000 respectively. “We just appreciate DNR for putting that grant out there so we could apply for it,” Kersey said. “We’re really very grateful for it.”
