Ridgeway crowned 2015 4-H Fair Queen

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Makayla Ridgeway was crowned queen of the Wabash County 4-H Fair on Wednesday night, July 1.

Actually, she was crowned twice on the stage of the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater.

After placing the crown on Ridgeway’s head, 2014 Fair Queen Amanda Underwood hugged Ridgeway.

Ridgeway, while returning Underwood’s hug, tilted her head and the crown fell off.

After the audience first gasped, then chuckled, Underwood retrieved the fallen crown, placed it back on Ridgeway’s head, then secured it in place with hairpins used to keep her own crown in place.

Ridgeway was selected from a field of 19 contestants, all members of the Wabash County 4-H during the pageant.

Joining her on the Queen’s Court are First Runnerup Jacklyn Peas, Second Runner-up Elizabeth Howenstine, Third Runner-up Arie Kennedy and Miss Congeniality Alexandria Peterson.

“It feels great,” Ridgeway told The Paper of Wabash County moments after receiving the title. “I did not expect it at all. I think all of these girls are very deserving of being queen, so I’m very honored.”

As queen, Ridgeway will reign over the 2015 fair, which runs through Saturday, July 11. She, along with members of the court, will pass out ribbons at the various livestock judging events, as well as attend the various programs at the outdoor arena throughout the week. is “looking forward to meeting new people, and being with my court and making memories.”

Whether they are willing to admit it publicly or not, it’s a sure bet that various governmental officials are breathing a sigh of relief, now that flooding situation in Wabash County didn’t get as bad as anticipated.

Predictions last week, prior to release of water at the J.Edward Roush and the Salamonie dams, had water in Wabash coming up as high as Market Street.

The release was needed as the dams were at capacity, due to more than 14 inches of rain that fell in the area in June.

Some residents in low-lying areas, especially around the Lagro area, evacuated their homes as a precaution, while Wabash officials went door to door on the city’s west side, advising residents of the potential need to evacuate.

While water in the Wabash River was high, it didn’t get as bad as officials as predicted. Several roads in the county near the reservoir were closed because of flooding. Also, in Wabash the water flooded the River Walk area for the second time in as many weeks.

Yet officials are pleased with the ultimate results.

“Well, the water stayed within the banks,”said Scot Dahms, operatons manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Wabash County. “We are happy with that.

“Mother Nature’s given us plenty of water to deal with, but we’re please the water levels didn’t get any higher than what they already had gotten.

“With Salamonie and Roush being full, our goal now is to dump water out the two lakes and get additional storage area available, if we have any other rain in the area.”

The inflow of water to the reservoirs has dropped, he said, meaning that the lake levels also are falling.

“It’s like a bathtub,” he said. “And when you fill the bathtub up with water it has to go somewhere. We just have to control how fast it comes out and where it goes when it comes out, which we do through the control towers.”

Keith Walters, Wabash County Emergency Management Agency Executive Director, was one of those keeping constant vigil on the developments.

Walters lived at the command center in the Wabash (Continued on Page 17)

Wabash native to return home to show film

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Brandon Walter, Wabash native turned Hollywood director, will be returning to his hometown on July 16 for a one night only presentation of his film, “Gone Doggy Gone.”

Released in 2014, the film was received nine film festival awards including the Audience Award at the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival and Best Comedy at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.

“If you win an audience award, to me that’s better than getting some grand prize at a film festival because that means that actual people like your movie so it must be good,” Walter told The Paper of

Wabash County in a phone interview. “Those awards will help see the movie. They’ll make people say, ‘Oh I want to see that movie because it has so many awards.’”

While “Gone Doggy Gone” is Walter’s first personally written and directed movie, Walter’s had years of experience in the film industry.

“I’ve always wanted to be a writer-director and that’s what I moved out to Los Angeles to do,” he said. “I went to Indiana University and I took a bunch of film and writing classes and wrote a few scripts and decided to drive out with my friend Denis Hennelly, who’s also from Wabash, who just completed a film last year with Adrian (Continued on Page 19)

The Lord’s Table, a “ ve r s u s - by - ve r s u s ” church started by Wabash County resident and pastor Roxanne Mann, is now open in its new location on Vernon Street and is accepting new members to its congre-

gation.

Founded in 2010, the church was originally located at 31 E. Market St. Mann told The Paper of Wabash County that, while Wabash has a variety of churches, she saw a great need in the community who want to know and learn God’s word.

“So many times over my years, you would hear the main stories in the Bible, but wouldn’t really get into the depths of the need of God’s word,” Mann said. “That’s what I felt God called me to do, to start any way a versus-by-versus church and give the meaning of the Greek and the Hebrew words that were in there versus-by-versus and let the congregation know what those words meant, how they applied back then and how we can apply them to our lives today.”

The Lord’s Table blends traditional and nontraditional worship music in a casual

or informal atmosphere and encourages its congregation to be “real,” according to Mann.

“I believe so strongly in that scripture that says, ‘Confess thy sins so that you may heal,’” she said. “We do mess up from time to time, and part of the healing and the restoration of our heart is just to confess that. … That’s part of people growing, that you mess up and you fail but you get back up like the Bible says, ‘The righteous man falls several times but he gets back up,’” In line with that point of view, the Lord’s Table offers recovery group programs and jail ministry. Part of its vision, Mann said, is to work directly with women leaving prison and returning to society.

“It’s the vision of this church to have an outreach ministry, that’s separate from the church, to place a modular home out there on (the Lord’s Table’s) property,” she continued. “It will be for women coming out of prison to restructure their lives in recovering and getting them back into the community, into working and helping them stay away from the influences of drugs around the community.”

The church’s 12-step support group for women takes place on Wednesday at noon.

Mann said she will also be offering a mixed-gender support group on Thursdays at 7 p.m.

Sermons are offered on Wednesday beginning at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. A pick-up and drop-off service is available.

The Lord’s Table is located at 1975 Vernon St. in Wabash.

I remember showing my pig for the first time as it was very overwhelming. I am very glad my parents made me continue 4-H the next year because that is when my love for 4-H started to grow. When I decided to do the queen contest it was pure excitement, because all I have ever wanted to be is a role model for younger 4-Hers.

Getting picked first runner-up was such an exciting moment!

The week I sat on the Queen’s Court was filled with many fun times. I also remember all the early mornings and late nights and many hours sitting in the arena a bit bored watching animals I knew nothing about. But seeing a first time 4-Hers face light up when you

hand them their first blue ribbon makes it all worthwhile! 4-H has taught me: time management, to put others before myself, and how important family time is. The past 10 years have sure flown by quickly, but I will take these life lessons and wonderful memories and use them in my future.

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

July 8, 2015

VIEWPOINT America needs Great Awakening Dear Editor, “Do you think the Supreme Court changed God’s mind?”

That was the question my wife posed upon hearing, once again, of judicial overreach and legislation from the bench. Already judicial activists had overturned the will of “we the people” in over 30 states that had voted by popular majority to define marriage as one man and one woman. No matter.

Somehow 5 unelected judges found a “constitutional right” for a man to have sex with another man – and sanction it as “marriage.”

Well, they were wrong in declaring slaves as less than persons; they were wrong in saying a baby can be killed in her mother’s womb; and, in trying to redefine what God has already defined, they are wrong again.

Letters to the editor Did they change God’s mind? I think not. Here’s what God says: — “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.”

(Leviticus 20:13) — “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator…

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and

We want your letters The editorial staff of The Paper invites readers to submit letters to the editor on timely issues. To ensure fairness to everyone, we have established the following guidelines: Mailed and faxed letters must be signed.

All submissions, including by e-mail, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification.

The editor reserves the right to edit letters for length, content and readability.

Also, per the editor’s judgment, personal attacks, inflammatory statements and legally objectionable material will not be printed.

The editor must also limit readers to submitting a maximum of two letters per month, regardless of whether previous letters have been published, due to space allotments in each weekly issue. Please limit all letters to 500 words or less.

GOOD LUCK AT THE FAIR TO ALL OF THE WABASH COUNTY 4-H’ERS

received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

(Romans 1:25-26) ~ natural for the unnatural… think about it, if homosexuality is so ‘natural’ why is it that the whole human race would die out in just one generation if everyone chose that lifestyle??

— “Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were

sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) ~ speaks of unrepentant people and their ability to change by the power of God, i.e. no one is “born that way” but can change through Jesus!

— “Haven’t you read that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?”

(Jesus - Matthew 19:5-6) — “I the Lord do not change.”

(GOD - Malachi 3:6) To be clear, God loves homo-

sexuals, adulterers, fornicators… all sinners (“God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8), but He never condones or sanctions the sin.

May we all find the forgiving, redeeming, life-changing freedom and victory in the new birth offered by God to all who come to Him, repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin… So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (Jesus John 8:34, 36); “Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) Pray for America. We need a Great Awakening. – Pastor Tim Morbitzer, North Manchester

Questions about billing Dear Editor: Each year we plant flowers and a garden. We have done it all our adult life, and we are now 91 years old.

However, this y ear we ran into a problem that we don’t understand, so perhaps we can gather some imput to help us.

I’ll list our water and wastewater bills to try to explain something we

don’t think is right.

Here goes: Water bill -April 20 $36.62 -May 1 -$43.19 -June 1 -$59.59 -- July 8 -- $39.90 (Our current bill.)

Wastwater bill -April 20 -$38.11 -May 1 -$32.42

-June 1 -$43.72 -- July 8 -- $70.91 (Our current bill).

I’ve called both companies and it’s all clear as mud. But, here are the facts: For $16.40 more water we are charged $27.19 that was never wastewater.

If anyone can see anything different, please spell it out. -- Alice and Bernie Dillard, Wabash.

Blood drive was a success Dear Editor: We want to thank all of our donors and volunteers who helped make our blood drive a success on June 25.

Special thanks goes to Pizza Hut, Nordman’s Nook and Subway for donating food.

Also, we wish to thank the North Manchester Church of the Brethren for allowing us to use their facility have this drive again.

Best of Luck To all Wabash County 4-H’ers!

Thank you for your conistent donations. We met our goal of 68 unts.

Kathy Fry-Miller reached her goal of 10 gallons, and Alan Wojktowiak reached his goal of 12 gallons.

State Auditor pays visit to Wabash

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com State Auditor Suzanne Crouch stopped by the Wabash County Courthouse on Wednesday afternoon to pay a visit to Wabash County Auditor Linda Conrad and her staff.

The visit, Crouch said, is part of her plan to visit auditors in all 92 Indiana counties.

During her visit, she and Conrad took time to discuss various procedures in the local office.

Crouch also took a moment to stress transparency in state government, noting that all transactions of state and county funds are available online.

“As auditor of the state, I’m responsible for maintaining Indiana’s transparency portals,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “On that, we have all salaries of state employees, all the expenditures …

“And we have links to local government spending through Gateway. Gateway is the system of the Department of Local Government Finance where the counties have to submit their financial information. So, the public can actually go to the transparency portals and see how their state tax dollars are being spent, and to see how their local dollars are being spent.”

The challenge, Crouch said, is getting people to be aware of the service.

The information, she continued, is available at www.in.gov/itp.

“We’ve had about 163,000 hits to date,” Crouch said. “And while that seems like a lot, we have six million Hoosiers …”

Conrad added that the public has better

access to spending by local school districts and libraries and so forth through the Gateway system.

“They’ve got better access to what they need, too,” she said.

Crouch said, “Every dollar spent by the government has a name and a face attached to it. I think that’s something that we should never, ever forget.”

A good auditor, she

“You are involved with all the claims,” Crouch told Conrad.

“And when things aren’t coming in the way they should, you’re the last line of defense for the tax-

She was born November 27, 1971 in Wabash, to Bruce Sr. and Ruth (Marcum) McGuire Krista attended Ivy Tech in Wabash. She enjoyed reading, music, animals, the outdoors, demolition derbies and her family. She never knew a stranger and had a big heart.

“The problem is that most people don’t realize how important this office is because the public has little action with this office except for filing exemptions. So, if the auditor is doing a good job, no one really

Area avoids major flooding Continued from front page

County Courthouse for five days, leaving long enough to shower at home.”

“I slept on a cot,” he said, “ and a couple of nights I didn’t sleep at a l l . ” For now, though, he said, “we’re out of the trouble zone. Unless, of course, we get more rain.”

The biggest problem that safety officials experienced during the flooding, he said, was people driving through high water and getting s t u c k .

Numerous rescues were reported, in spite of please from Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land and others not to drive through water.

Walters said this was a great learning experience for everyone, noting, “we couldn’t have staged a mock disaster and learned more than we did in this.”

Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m praised those who went above and beyond in the emergency situation.

“For the most part, with all due respect to the Army Corps of Engineers, this is uncharted water,” he said. “So far we’ve been able to hold our o w n . ” He said he remembers as a child playing in flood water from

the Wabash.

“So the dams have made a big improvement,” he said. “If it wasn’t for the dams right now, we’d be in serious trouble.”

Purdue University Extension assembled a summit on Friday June 26 to inform farmers and media about the impact of Indiana’s recent series of rains and f l o o d i n g .

“As almost everyone is aware, torrential throughout much of Indiana over the last month have either prevented planting of acres or flooding acres that have already been planted,” Mike Schutz, Purdue Extension assistant director.

“The purpose of today’s briefing is to look at, from a lot of different aspects, to look at the impact of this flooding economically on agriculture.”

The summit presented four speakers which spoke about overall weather forecasts, resolutions for farmers, opportunities and the economic i m p a c t .

“When it rains, it pours doesn’t it,” said Ken Scheeringa, Indiana associate state climatologist and professional meteorologist assist a n t .

“To think that it rains every day in

June probably isn’t too far from the truth,” he continued.

“Looking at the data we’ve collected, I think there’s probably only been four days this month where it has not rained somewhere in Indiana.”

About three and a half to four inches of rain are considered “normal” for June, Scheeringa said, Since June 1, Wabash County received 14.15 feet of r a i n .

The cause of all the rain began with a Bermuda High, also known as a Bermuda Block, a hire pressure center off the coast of Florida that “migrates” west toward the Smoky Mountain, according to Scheeringa.

“It pretty much just sits there for a week,” he continued, “intensifies, spreads heat and humidity far into the inland, in fact it went all the way through into Kentucky. It acts like a roadblock, which means that any storms would normally go through south of Indiana were blocked.

Their only choice was to go around this big roadblock, this big Bermuda High and that path would have been through northern Indiana.”

Later in June, southern Indiana

received heavy rains from remains of tropical storm Bill, Scheeringa said.

“And then there’s part three, which is what we’re in right now and actually continuing on,” he continued. “The current situation is we have a very fast jet stream that’s going west to east across our northern tier states. … That is setting us up for a scenario where the warm, muggy air at the surface, along with that fast jet stream north of us, the atmosphere is set up perfectly for more s t o r m s . ” Based on weather projections through July and September, Indiana is expected to experience cooler than normal temperatures and a “very good chance for above normal rainfall,” Scheeringa said.

Dr. Michael Langemeier, Purdue U n i v e r s i t y A g r i c u l t u r a l E c o n o m i c s Department commercial agriculture assistant director, said that, in 2014, 81 percent of Indiana corn acreage and 83 percent of soybean acreage was insured.

Wabash native to return home to show film ....Continued from the front page Griener called ‘Goodbye World’ which I would highly recommend.”

Walter moved to California in 1996.

However, he didn’t just stop at writing and directing. In 2006, he began to take acting classes and decided to pursue it as a career as well, he said.

“Why limit yourself ?”

In 2008, Walter met his writing partner Kasi Brown at Upright Citizens Brigade and they began shooting the sketch comedy show, “Mother Approve.”

“We created it as a calling card for our talents,” Walter said.

“We were spending all of our time making sketches and I told Kasi, ‘Let’s make a movie. We both came out here to make a movie, not sketches.’

And so we used the sketch time kind of as a learning ground of how to work with each other.

“We’ve both had a lot of experience being on sets before, so we were doing (the production) all ourselves.”

The film draws inspiration from Brown’s experience with a particular dog sitter.

“Her name was Jill and she would take (Brown’s) dog, Laila, to hair appointments, she’d take her to the movies, she’d take her to all these places where you just normally wouldn’t take a dog,” Walter said.

“And she’d send photos back saying, ‘Check how cute Laila is.’ And then she would come back later and later at night. She was supposed to be home at 6 o’clock then the next night she’d be home at 6:30, 7:30 and Kasi was jokingly worried and I was like, ‘What if she never brings your dog back?’

“And then right there, that’s where the inspiration came for the movie.”

“Gone Doggy Gone” follows a couple with a lackluster marriage who treat their dog like it’s their baby.

One day, it gets kidnapped and ensues a cat-and-mouse adventure as the couple hunts down the kidnapper.

“I think (the Wabash community) will relate to the ‘Jill’ character because they know someone like her,” Walter said.

“Everybody knows someone who treats their dog like a baby.

You either treat your dog like a baby or you know someone who does it. So when people see our movie they go, ‘Oh that’s just like me!’ Or ‘Oh that’s just like my mom!’

“The story’s universal.”

While the film is unrated, this film is absolutely not for kids, according to

Walter, the son of Stan and Judy Walter.

“The movie would definitely make our grandmothers blush if they saw it,” he said. “I personally wouldn’t let any person under 13 see the movie. … If it were rated, it would definitely be rated R.” However, despite not being family friendly, Walter said he wanted to bring his film to the Eagles Theater because he grew up there.

“I went there all the time as a kid,” he said. “I remember going down and watching ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ every day. I think I saw it two times a day, it was like $2 to see the movie and I was like 12-years-old and I would ask my mom, ‘I want to go down to see ‘The Empire Strikes Back.’

“I grew up watching so many movies in that theater. It’s just a wonderful the-

ater and I really wanted come home and show (“Gone Doggy Gone”) in a proper setting with a large group of people because movies play so much better with a live audience who laugh.”

Borders & Beyond will host a reception for Walter and “Gone Doggy Gone” on July 16 at 5 p.m. The film’s showing will begin at 7 p.m. in the Eagles Theater.

Ridgeway crowned 4-H Queen .... continued from front page She said she is “looking forward to meeting new people, and being with my court and making memories.”

The pageant, in an effort to bring it in line with the format used at the Indiana State Fair, saw several changes this year.

All the judging took place on Wednesday, with preliminary judging taking place earlier in the day. At the actual pageant, the judges scored the contestants on formalwear, and picked the top 10 candidates based on that score, as well as scores from earlier in the day.

The top 10 then answered a question selected from a random draw.

Their answers were used to help determine the queen and her court.

Ridgeway’s question was “what brings you the most happiness in life?”

“What brings me the most happiness in life has to be working with animals,” she said. “Whenever I get a chance to help animals or just be around them, it really makes me happy.”

Ridgeway said she enjoyed the new format.

“I’ve never been in this pageant before, but I’ve been in other ones, so it was neat to see how they changed things up,” she said.

The pageant opened with the contestants and Underwood performing a dance routine, “Swinging into the Fair.”

Reapers 4-H Club. She plans to attend Indiana University Kokomo as a freshman and has not yet decided on a major.

Peterson is a member of Ribbon Reapers. She plans to attend DePauw University as a freshman to study biochemistry.

Makayla Ridgeway was crowned the 2015 Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen on July 1 during a ceremony at the Honeywell Center's Ford Theater. Joining her on the court are (from left) 3rd Runner-up Arie Kennedy, 1st Runner-up Jacklyn Peas, 2nd Runner-up Elizabeth Howenstine and Miss Congeniality Alexandria Peterson. Photo by Joseph Slacian 4-H Council President Doug Mays talked about the council’s fundraising efforts, and 4-H Youth Educator Angela Christopher talked about some of the changes taking place at this year’s event.

Madeline Hayden, the 2015 Indiana State Fair Queen, talked about the upcoming Indiana State Fair.

The theme this year is “Year of the Farmer,” and farmers from around the state will be honored each day of the fair, Aug. 7-23.

In an emotional address, Underwood talked about the year she had serving as the 2014 4-H Fair Queen.

She thanked the queen committee, her family and “all the girls for making my reign an enjoyable experience.”

She gave special thanks to her mother “for getting the ice cream stain out of my sash on the first day of the fair.”

She said her time as

queen was a beautiful experience, thanks in part to her court.

Highlights of her reign, she said, was attending the judging, wrestling a pig and competing at the Indiana State Fair.

“As my year comes to an end, I’m feeling very bittersweet,” Underwood said.

“When I was little, I always looked up to the queen and hoped that some day I could fill those shoes and the crown.

“Last year, that dream came true.

Now I am sad that it has to come to an end, but I am so happy that I’ve had this opportunity and I couldn’t ask for a better one.”

She also passed on some advice to the 2015 queen.

“Take it all in,” she said. “Never stop smiling. Nap whenever you can. Talk to everyone. And have fun.

“Oh, yeah, eat a lot of the Urbana Fire Department ice

cream. It’s really good.”

Ridgeway is a member of the Future Farmers and Vet Science 4-H clubs. She plans to attend Purdue University as a freshman to study animal science, pre veterinary Peas is a member of the Speedy Clovers and Wabash County Paw Prints Dog clubs.

“The main thing a producer needs to consider when he’s looking at these three options, leaving the damaged crop, replanting the damaged crop or planting an alternative crop, is thinking about what is the additional cost that I’m going to incur,” he said.

“Again, the ‘agranomics’ are extremely important with these considerations and so those are the key things that you need to think about with conceptual framework are what are the additional costs and what are the additional revenue that I am (making) and using that you can decide between these three options.”

Honeywell Golf Course gifted AED device

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Honeywell Golf Course is now stocked with a new automated external defibrillator (AED) after a donation made by Crossroads Bank.

The AED will allow for faster and better first aid treatment in certain scenarios that may occur on a golf course, according to Dick White, Red Cross Instructor.

“Whenever you’re dealing with the public and golfers out there like myself, older, you just never know when the situation may arise (that it’s needed),” White told The Paper of Wabash County.

The donation was made possible thanks to the efforts of Wabash City Fire Chief Bob Mullett, EMT Jay Brainard and Honeywell Golf Course general manager Mel Thomas, White said.

On June 24, White led a review session for the golf course’s staff, not necessarily to teach how to use it, but when to use it.

“Over the last several years, I’ve been doing training out there and they’re all certified in Red Cross CPR and the use of the AED,” White said.

“Mainly I said ‘This is not really a training session’ because it’s a review they’ve all been through it, and we just went through the basic use of who the defibrillator should be used on and what scenario would it be that you would use it,” he continued.

“And we just reviewed how to make sure the person needs it, whether they’re breathing, their heart’s not beating, we check the person to make sure their heart’s not beating so that determines that CPR needs to be started, 9-1-1 needs to be called and the AED needs to be put on and go on to do what the AED advises you to do.”

Untrained personnel can also utilize the device because of its verbal walk-through feature, which is an advantage for those who only know CPR. “Even though you know how to do CPR, by having that device, the chances of reviving somebody are far greater than just

doing chest compressions,” he said. “It’s really a device that’s come along for public use and it’s doing the things (responders) couldn’t do until they got them to the emergency room.”

The donation also established a new collaborative effort between the Wabash City Fire Department and the Honeywell Golf Course possible, White said.

“The fire department has set up a dispatch that, when

they’re dispatched to the golf course, then what happens is … the fire department will then turn around and call the golf course and say, ‘There’s an emergency out there on whatever hole it may be’ and then (the golf course staff) can take the device out to that person there,” White said.

“It’s a system that they’re setting up where they’re trying to cover getting help there as soon as they can.”

Tree falls on city residence, caused by weather

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Inclement weather that occurred in the late hours of Monday June 22 caused a tree to crash down onto the Wabash residence of Judy Driscoll.

Driscoll, whose

house is located on Noble Street, told The Paper of Wabash County that the tree fell directly into her grandson’s bedroom and nearly hit her daughter, Tina, who had just returned home.

“The wind came and I woke my boyfriend up and I

A Wabash City residence owned by Judy Driscoll lays in wreckage after a tree fell directly on top of it on Monday June 22. High winds, earwigs and carpenter ants were determined to be the cause of the fall by Andrews Tree Removal owner Charlie Andrews. Andrews estimated that the damage could cost the Driscoll family $25-30,000. Photo by Emma Rausch said, ‘The wind’s getting really strong,’” Driscoll said. “We were sitting there and all at once we heard this (cracking) sound

and all at once that tree fell.

“I’m just thankful (my grandson) wasn’t in his room. My daughter was getting

out of her car and the tree was coming right after her and she was freaking out and if it hadn’t have been for the next door neigh-

bor calling for her, because he was sitting out on his porch at the time and he saw the tree fall, but if she was there on the side-

walk just 30 seconds before then she would have got killed underneath that tree.”

Driscoll said that no one was injured from the incident.

However, the tree’s fall managed to rip the electric box off the side of the house, leaving the family temporarily without power, she continued.

Andrews Tree Removal cleared away the debris from Driscoll’s roof on June 24. Business owner Charlie Andrews said that he estimated damage to cost $25-30,000 to fix.

“It showed a lot of signs of weakness,” Andrews said.

“Someone could have came out and had it taken down beforehand and prevented this but it didn’t happen.”

Lagro bar demolished after fire in January Owners decide to rebuild after all

LAGRO - Dillon’s Bar will be rebuilt after all, according to owner Marcella Dillon.

On Jan. 10, the bar had just reopened following a brief hiatus only to catch fire the following morning at 3:30 a.m.

At the time, Dillon told The Paper of Wabash County that she wouldn’t rebuild since it was the second fire the bar had seen since she took over the business.

“It was really devas-

tating after going through two fires and it really takes a toll on you,” Dillon said in a follow-up interview on June 26. “So, in the beginning, we said we just can’t do this again, but as time has passed, nerves have kind of settled and we thought, ‘You know, it would be nice to have a new bar for this community.’”

Eads & Son Bulldozing, Inc., demolished the building on June 26 after a full investigation was finally completed earlier in May. The final investigation showed that

faulty wiring caused the fire.

“It was the wiring in the ceiling up above the bar area,” Dillon said. “They said it had knob and tube wiring and the wiring is what caused the fire.

“They investigated it and the forensic guy said that he felt that the bar was on fire when we were still in the building because we had only been gone about 20 minutes and we had only just gone to the edge of Lagro to take one of our workers home when we received a call from our security system stating that there was

a disturbance at the front door. I actually thought someone was breaking in.”

The building’s demolition was delayed until late June since the investigation wasn’t completed for nearly four months due to several reasons, according to Dillon.

“It was just so bad that it took them a while to determine the fire and so it was a long, drawn out investigation,” she said.

“And then the inspector that had inspected for the insurance agency had stated that there was no knob and tube wiring, so they were investigated. So we didn’t, ourselves, get back into this building until midMay.” Since the investigation took so long to complete, Dillon said she had time to think it over and decided to rebuild the property.

“It’s going to start up here shortly,” she said. “We’re going to keep the block part of the building and everything else will be brand new.”

Matt Smith Construction will lead the building process.

No design plans had been finalized at the time of The Paper’s deadline.

“It’s sad to lose an old, historical building like this,” Dillon said. “But it’ll be nice to have a new building in this community, I feel.

“Everybody hates to lose a historic site, but the wiring was so bad that I’m just glad that nobody got hurt.”

Flack Farms garners attention with innovative machinery

By Shaun Tilghman news@thepaperofwabash.com One local farm family has found a way to not only be more efficient, but also to expand their operations into other markets, and it’s all thanks to some innovative equipment.

Steve and Lisa Flack, owners of Flack Farms, Inc., located at 3124W 800N, have been producing, buying, and marketing hay and straw for almost 20 years from their home in rural North Manchester.

Three years ago, they took their hay production facility to the next level, with the addition of the only Steffen Systems Bale Conversion System in Indiana.

They purchased their machine, one of approximately a dozen in the entire United States, at an auction in 2012 and dedicated a building and warehouse on their farm to its use.

With the bale conversion machine, they are able to compress big square bales, of any type of hay or straw, and cut them into smaller sizes for more convenient handling and storage.

According to the website (www.flackfarms.com), customers can choose from the following sizes of custom bales: 12 X 16 X 25; 12 X 16 X 30; 16 X 18 X 25; or 16 X 18 X 30. The bales can then be palletized and shrink-wrapped after processing.

The program will begin with the Indiana Historical Society video, “When Every River Turned Against Us.” M a n c h e s t e r University Emeritus Professor of History David Waas will then connect the larger story to how the flood affected North Manchester and

By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — The Great Flood of 1913 was America’s most widespread natural disaster, overshadowing Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Hardest hit was Indiana. And yet, the flood remains largely forgotten.

On Monday, July 13, the North Manchester Historical Society will revisit this disas-

Wabash.

Waas is a very popular lecturer and scholar. Teaching at MU from 1964-91 in American and World History, especially African History, Waas also taught at Western State, Otterbein, UCLA and the University of Malawi. His Bachelor of Arts degree was from Manchester College and Master of Arts and doctorate degrees from the University of Illinois.

Waas has traveled extensively, teaching for Semester at Sea three times, circumnavigating the world each semester He has lectured as a Road Scholar, lectured on many ships cruising to different parts of the world, and conducted seminars on Africa for U.S. teachers for the U.S. Department of

Education. He may be best known to the North Manchester community for conducting NewsTalk for Shepherd’s Center for 30 years.

There is no cost for the program, which is free to the public. All are welcome.

While many attend only the program, the public is also invited to come to the Assembly Room at 6 p.m. for a meal prior to the program. For those who wish to attend the dinner, reservations must be made no later than noon on Friday, July 10. The cost of the meal is $8.50, $3.50 on the Timbercrest meal plan.

our product, so we’re always on the lookout for different ideas. We had seen this machine several years prior, but we were doing two-string bales at the time.

“We were marketing hay in the south (the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia) and we found that people there wanted product that was consistent in quality and consistent in weight – you would not believe the variations you see in weights from small square bales. So, we wanted to offer something that was consistent in quality, consistent in weight, and consistent yearround, and that’s what this machine allows us to do.”

Steve went on to say that, not only were they looking for consistency, but they were looking for efficiency as well. “We were actually looking for something a little more efficient, because the weather always seems to be cutting our window for getting stuff done smaller and smaller,” he added.

“With the small square balers, 40-50 acres is all we could get done a day,” Steve continued, “but each of our big square balers could do over 100 acres a day. So, once we had two of those we were doing over 200 acres a day, which is a lot more Cont. on Page 31

Continued from Page 30 efficient, but also allows us to put out a much better quality product.

Basically, we’re just able to control our quality more through the machine and everything is much more easily handled.”

Lisa said, “We both attended Purdue University and worked in the crop protection industry for several years, where Steve became i n c r e a s i n g l y intrigued with forages and their role in the nutritional needs of livestock. When we decided to make our own hay to feed our sheep flock and to sell to others, we began by making small square bales. We quickly progressed to a large square baler to maximize the efficiency of our operation as our acreage and customer base grew.

“It has been very gratifying to be able to work face-to-face with our end users and to actually have flexibility in our marketing, as opposed to traditional row crop producers. We have continued to build those relationships through the years, while expanding, updating, and diversifying along the way.”

According to Steve, in addition to providing them the ability to grow in the markets they were already in,

the bale conversion system has afforded them opportunities to expand into new markets as well.

“We can also offer straw, alfalfa, alfalfa/orchardgrass, and then we source in our Timothy from down south and out east,” he explained. “So, we’re able to source in different products and then make the products that our customers need. For example, it may be an awful year for hay around here, but we can at least go somewhere to buy hay, bring it in and cut it, and still produce for our customers.

“Honestly, we could never make enough hay to supply our needs, so I’m always buying hay. We actually probably buy twice as much as what we raise in order to accommodate the needs of our customers. With this system we’re also able to maximize our weight per truck, because with two-string bales we’d get 630 bales in for a total of 16.5-17 tons, but with these small bales we can max out a truck with a capacity of 23.5-24 tons. So, we actually pick up 5-6 tons in sales per truckload, and when we’re shipping our own that makes a big impact.”

While the Flacks have continued to

expand and diversify their business operations, they still receive a lot of the comments from people that either didn’t realize anybody in the area did this, or didn’t even realize this technology was out there.

“I believe there are now 12 of these machines in the country,” Steve said.

“There are a couple east of us in Ohio and there is one in Tennessee, but most of the other ones are out on the west coast, where they’re pressing for containers for the export market. So, we really had to stop and think about how we should be marketing our business. As in any business, marketing is key; so we’ve done some trade shows, including exhibiting at the Hoosier Horse Fair for the last couple years, but we’re still trying to expand that a little bit.”

The Flacks do have some help in spreading the word about their new machinery, as Curt Campbell, Ag Natural Resources Educator with the Purdue Extension Wabash County Office, has organized several tours and demonstrations of the unique hay operation, including one such demonstration for local farmers last Friday morning.

“We had Steve speak at our Adult Farm Class last March,” Campbell said, “and there were a number of them that really wanted to be able to see the operation. You can talk about it all you want, but until you get a chance to see it you really don’t know what to expect. So, this served as kind of a hands-on approach to go along with what they learned in the classroom.

“People don’t realize that we have this here in Wabash County, and I talk a lot about the fact that we’re the only place in the state that has this type of machinery available. A couple of years ago, when we had the State 4-H Tour, they made this a stop, and that was right around the time he was just getting it setup, but it was still a great experience. He’s also allowed me to bring some other tours through here, including my fellow Extension Educators.

Ultimately, Steve and Lisa have been really good about opening it up and helping to tell people about what they’ve got to offer.”

Steve concluded by

saying it’s been a fun journey so far. For more information on

3 firms bid on Wastewater Treatment Plan project

By Joseph Slacian jslacain@thepaperofwabash.com

Three firms submitted bids Wednesday, July 1, for the Wabash Wastewater Treatment Plant’s Headworks Improvement Project.

The firms – James S. Jackson Co., of Bluffton; Kokosing Construction Co. of

Westerville, Ohio, and Thieneman of Westfield – each submitted a total base bid, as well as a mandatory alternate bid for consideration to the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety.

The project seeks to replace the current screw pumps at the plant with a more modern, efficient system.

The screw pumps are designed to separate things like rocks, limbs, cans, bottles and other debris that can’t be processed at the plant from the water.

Only one of the two screw pumps work, and that one was recently repaired at a cost of about $250,000.

City officials noted that City Engineer

Keith Bryant of United Consulting believes it is best to get rid of the screw pumps and replace them with the new system. Bryant, who was present at the meeting, will review the bids and submit a recommendation at the next Board of Works meeting on July 15.

In addition to replacing the screw pumps,

city and basically go through the pros and cons based on the equipment,” he said.

“We’ll look not only at the capital costs, but the cost of operations over the next 20 years.”

Following the opening of the bids, board member Dee Byerly asked why there was such a large discrepancy between the firms on the alternate bid.

There was a difference of $74,500 between Jackson and Kokosing, he noted.

“Basically it’s an alternate for different equipment … but it does bring some other changes for installation, electrical and such that some contractors look at as more work, and others don’t,” Bryant said. “It just depends on how they look at it.”

Nine organizations will benefit from the 2015 Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity

In a related matter, City Attorney Doug Lehman told the board that a bond opening for $3 million in bonds to help finance sewage projects, including the Headworks Improvement Project.

The bond bids were opened Tuesday, June 30, and City Securities had the best proposal, he said.

“It has an interest rate of 1.98973 (percent),” he said. “That interest rate was a little bit below what had been anticipated.”

It is believed that with that rate, the city will save about $5,000 per year, or $30,000 over the six-year life of the bond.

The funds will be available about July 15, he said.

“The selection process is the most difficult,” said Brian Campbell, a member of the Board of Directors for Chili for Charity.

“There are many qualified organizations serving the county that need funding. It is a tough decision each year.”

The Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity has invested nearly $400,000 back into the community since the first cook-off in 2003.

The 2015 Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off is slated for Oct. 17 at Paradise Spring Historical Park. Admission is $5 for adults and free to children ages 12 and under. A newly designed T-shirt will be available for purchase exclusively at Kitchens Plus.

All proceeds are earmarked for distribution to the nine charities selected as benefactors from this year’s chili cook-off.

Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity will once again partner with Wabash County United Fund again for a $10, 000 match.

“Leveraging local dollars to reinvest in our community is a great by-product of the cook-off,” Cook-off President Todd Titus said.

Agencies making requests for county funding

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabashcounty.com With the county’s budgeting process in the early stages, a variety of local agencies are submitting requests with the Wabash County Commissioners for funding in 2016.

Two agencies – ARC of Wabash County and Living Well in Wabash County – were present the last two weeks to submit their budget proposals.

Living Well CEO Beverly Ferry was on hand June 29 to seek a

slight increase in the agency’s budget for next year.

She is seeking an additional $2,500 next year. The funds will be earmarked for the Wabash County Transit system.

“That’s not what we need,” she told Commissioners. “But I think it’s a reasonable request because our current allocation is $25,000, so I’m asking for a 10 percent increase of that.”

The increase, she said, will help grow the county’s economy.

“In order to make Wabash County an

economically viable county that will survive in the years to come, and will flourish in the years to come, transportation, particularly door-todoor, will have to be a strong feature of our county and how we operate.”

Ferry, in her letter of request presented to Commissioners, wrote, “Over the next several months, Living Well in Wabash County and Wabash County Transit will engage in county-wide discussions on public transportation in all of Wabash County

while we evaluate how our service is delivered.”

“One thing is certain,” she continued, “door to door service will remain a valuable asset to the citizens and to the government entities within Wabash County.”

On June 22, ARC Executive Director Nancy Hoffman requested an additional $1,000 from the county, bringing its allocation to $65,000.

“Each year when I meet with you I generally tell you about our struggles and challenges as to why I’m

asking the county for financial assistance,” she told the Commissioners.

Rather than dwell on the negative, she looked at some of the positive things that happened to the agency over the last year.

The agency received three new vehicles in the past year, thanks in part to 80-20 grants.

Two vehicles were purchased from a grant submitted in 2013, while the third was submitted in 2014.

“All organizations in Indiana are now required to be nationally

ARC also marked its 60th anniversary in December, and was honored earlier this year for that accomplishment by the Indiana Legislature.

“Our hope is that you will decide to allocate this amount,” Hoffman said of the $65,000 request. “But any amount that you are willing to give us is greatly, greatly appreciated, and we hope you can at least maintain what we’re getting this year.”

accredited in order to state and federal funding for the services we provide,” Hoffman said.

The agency underwent a review and those conducting it told local officials that no deficiencies were found, she said.

“That means we’ll receive the highest accreditation possible, which is a three-year accreditation,” Hoffman said.

The agency also had at least three other inspections from various regulators, and no problems were found, she continued.

Heartland REMC was formed in November, 2014, with the consolidation of Wabash County REMC and United REMC. The electric cooperative has offices in Wabash and Markle.

In her comments at the business meeting, D’Ann Stouffer, president of the board, talked about the impact that the consolidation had on the members.

“This change marked a historic move,” she said.

“As one of only a handful of cooperative groups across the state to do something of this magnitude, we

have managed to secure the future of our cooperative for years to come.”

More than 2,500 people including Heartland REMC members and their immediate families attended the event.

Wabash 8-year-old starts American Girl Project

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Eight-year-old Davy Falder “loves” American Girl dolls and her “heart is (also) full for girls in the foster care sys-

tem,” so, with the help of some friends, she created a project that connected the two.

The American Girl Project collects used American Girl dolls that are no longer played with and spruces them up

Good Luck

4H’ers!

“Holding fast to traditions... making way for healthy change.”

before being prayed over and donated to young girls in the foster care system.

“I think American Girl dolls are cool because they are made with care and I want girls to know that they’re made with care by God, unique and valuable to him,” Davy told The Paper of Wabash County in an interv i e w .

On June 25, she organized an American Girl Tea Party and invited children throughout the community to attend with their favorite dolls or stuffed animals and a “special” adult.

Approximately 125 community members attended the event and joined in on craftmaking and games themed around the famous doll company.

Leah’s Cupcakes, Marelli’s Bloom Boutique and Modoc’s Market donated cup-

cakes, drinks and crafting supplies to the event.

Davy also shared her story with the crowd and how her friend Debbie Phillips inspired her to start the project in August 2 0 1 4 .

Mindy Bower, who attended the event with her granddaughter, Emma, 5, said it showed just how much children can have a huge impact in what they do.

“I read about this (project) and I loved the idea that Davy came up with it on her own,” Bower said.

“And I would love for (Emma) to learn to have a giving heart and I think that’s awesome. I explained it to her on the way over what it was for and she thought for a bit and then she said, ‘That’s really great.’

“I think it’s important that even at 5(years-old) that you start to develop an attitude of giving. I think with everything that’s going on in this

Davy Falder speaks to a crowd of approximately 125 at her American Girl Tea Party, an event she personally organized to help collect American Girl dolls to donate to girls in foster care. The tea party, which took place on June 25 at Wabash Friends Church, offered American Girl themed craft-making and games for the children to enjoy. Photo by Emma Rausch country, to love each organizing this projother is kind of basic, e c t . but it gets over“It doesn’t come l o o k e d . ” easy, you have to build Davy’s father, Alex, a team to realize her said that she’s dream,” Mr. Falder learned how to do said. “It’s taken some hard work through real hard work and

she’s been willing to do all of it. There have been several people who have come along beside her and helped her through this process.

“Getting in front of people and speaking is one of the worst fears of people and I’m just really, really proud of her that she had the courage to get up there and speak in front of everyone.”

Prior to the tea party, the American Girl Project collected nine dolls for donation. Davy announced during her speech that she had received three more. Attendees could also donate funds toward Davy’s cause to purchase new dolls, which cost approximately $100.

“I loved doing this and my overall favorite part of the party was probably decorating,” Davy said. “But my favorite thing about doing this project is probably giving the dolls to the g i r l s . ”
