Downtown revolution continues By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash kicked off the Small Business Revolution on Friday, June 3, as Deluxe Corporation’s Amanda Brinkman returned to the city with ABC’s Robert Herjavec. Steve Downs, Wabash Marketplace Inc. executive director, introduced the pair at the Historic Eagles Theatre during First Friday, approximately three weeks after it was announced Wabash won the Small Business Revolution competition on May 12 and received $500,000 in goods and

services from Deluxe. “The last time that we were all gathered here in this auditorium, we saw Amanda announce that we were the winners in the Small Business Revolution contest,” Downs said, “and it still gives each and everyone of us chills, including Amanda, when she watches that announcement and she watches the reaction of the citizens of Wabash for winning that contest. “This has been just simply a wonderful, wonderful experience and for that we offer our very sincerest thanks to Deluxe Corporation for see-

ing really what the rest of us have always known: that the citizens of Wabash, especially our small business owners, are very special people and most deserving of the attention and the help that Deluxe is now offering to us.” Downs said there have been a lot of ups and downs since Wabash entered the contest in January. “But we’ve also experienced challenges that have enriched us and a degree of excitement that I haven’t seen in this town before,” he continRobert Herjavec addresses the crowd at the Historic ued. “Finally, we’ve experienced the Eagles Theatre on Friday night, June 3.

NORTH MANCHESTER — In a surprising turn of events at the June 1 North Manchester Town Council meeting, North Manchester Police Department Chief Jeff Perry announced his retirement effective that evening. “Forty-one years ago I started at this department. Tonight, I’m going to retire,” Perry said. “It’s been a long, interesting time. I’ll give you a letter of the retirement after the meeting.” Town Council President Jim Smith responded, “That wasn’t on the agenda. We’ll probably not consider that until our next agenda. Forty-one years is a long time. When I retired in just about that same length of time, the Jimmy Buffet quote (came to mind), ‘some of it is magic, some of it is tragic, but it’s all been pretty good.’ Thank you for those years and all those efforts.” (continued on page 7)

114 graduate from Manchester High School By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School said good-bye to 114 graduates at the school’s 59th commencement ceremony Friday night, May 27. With the class motto “Learn from the past; excel in the present; challenge the future,” the Class of 2016 heard words of encouragement and

counsel from fellow classmates and school administrators. Student Council President Janzin Cripe welcomed graduates, friends and family to commencement. He continued his remarks with a story of his fascination with drones, to the point where he decided to build one. “The view a drone has from the air is incredible. There is a clear view of everything from a whole new perspective. I

guess that is one of the reasons I have become so interested in them,” Cripe said. “This different field of view has many advantages, but like anything, it also has its disadvantages. Like in life, you don’t always want to just see things happen from a distance, but rather come in close and get involved to expand your experiences and opportunities. This way of thinking has laid the foundation for myself and many of Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School Class of 2016 prepares to enter the gymnasium for Commencent ceremonies.

It is easier to watch from afar, but as you view your life experiences, the things that will come into focus will be those moments where you actively participated. Many of you may not have realized it, but it’s those experiences that prepare you for the next stage of your life,” Cripe

continued. “Whether it be heading to college, the military, or directly into the workforce, I am confident that your experiences will provide you with a safe landing in life. But for now, fly on.” Senior Class Valedictorian Corrie Osborne talked about looking into the future and living now. She described a day this spring babysit-

ting and playing with a little boy who was fascinated by a stick, some grass, and the sun shining through the trees. “It made me smile,” Osborne said. “but it also made me wonder how much happier I could be if I appreciated small things like I was seeing them for the first time. “As we were traipsing around, I was

present, but I was acutely aware of my situation. I was stuck halfway between looking at the flowers with him, and worrying about it getting dark before we got home, she continued. “Halfway between being a carefree kid too, and being the responsible adult. I was halfway between living in the moment (continued on page 3)

114 graduate from Manchester High School ... continued fropm page 2 and looking at the future as it was coming at me, inevitably.” She encouraged her classmates to remember their experiences, but to keep living in the moment. “Look at your classmates all around you. The ones you’ve known for year, and the ones you’ve just recently discovered,” she said. “Look all around you and remember these faces, this point in time. We can think about all the moments that brought us here, and we can think about the moments to come, but the only moment we can really live in is now.” Before Manchester Community Schools Superintendent Bill Reichhart addressed

the Class of 2016, he paid tribute to Principal Nancy Alspaugh who is retiring after 31 years at MJSHS, the last 18 years as principal. “You are hard working, care about students and staff, a leader, dedicated, and most of all, passionate about MJSHS,” he told Alspaugh. “We will miss your leadership, and we wish you the best in retirement.” He then surprised Alspaugh with a cap and gown of her own and declared her part of the 2016 graduating class. Reichhart touted the many successes the Class of 2016 has achieved including athletic championships, Science

Olympiad teams going to state, Lilly award finalists, FFA state champions, ISMAA winners in band and choir, Wabash County Self-Reliance Award winners, and National Honor Society. In addition, he mentioned trips students took to the Everglades, Germany, and Disney World as part of their academic studies. Reichhart talked about each graduate’s signature, from the first day of school until today, and how it has changed. “A signature is important because it signifies you being you,” he said. “As you leave here for the last time as a student, each of you will leave your signature behind

with us. And as you go forward with your lives, you will refine what your signature looks like and what you have yet to accomplish in your lifetime.” He congratulated the graduating students with these parting words: “You are the future of North Manchester and the future is now. You have represented Manchester JuniorSenior High School well. You have earned our respect. You have gained our trust. Best wishes to each of you.” Senior Class President Keelan Norwood led the class, including Alspaugh, in the turning of the tassel, to close the commencement ceremony.

Wabash High School’s 143rd graduating class tossed their caps on Saturday, May 29, at the 2016 WHS G r a d u a t i o n Commencement Ceremony. The 90-student graduating class had a remarkable year and left a mark on the Wabash community, according to Valedictorian Skyler Hall. “As part of the Wabash football team, I saw this firsthand,” Hall told his peers. “In the past, Wabash wasn’t quite know for its outstanding football program.” That all changed last fall when the Apaches took home their first winning season in 20 years, he continued, and it was an “excellent feeling.” “Looking back, I don’t regret one minute spent with those other seniors as part of Wabash football,” Hall said. “Many of us are challenged to either follow a precedent or set one. “I challenge you to set the precedent because those who set one are much more memorable than who don’t.” Since elementary school, children are told they are the future of the world, according to the valedictorian.

Photo by Harold Chatlosh and Adam Driscoll encouraged their peers to appreciate the little things and remember their roots. While searching for success, it’s important to remember where one came from, according to Driscoll. “Whether we realize it or not, our roots are the foundations to all of our successes,” he said. “Obviously, our high school education has prepared us for whatever the future holds and it honestly is the basis for our further achievements,” Driscoll later continued. “I cannot thank my teachers enough for preparing me for my future.” Don’t overlook the little things or take for granted friends and family, McCauley said. “They helped shape us into who we have become today,” she explained. “We learn from them to enjoy our (lives) and what we have. We also learn to be courageous when

going out of our comfort zones. “The people you surround yourself with are going to push you to do your best and be your best.” Although the graduates say farewell to WHS, the memories made there will remain, according to Valedictorian Hall. “Graduates, don’t be afraid to look back on high school and remember all the great memories made in our four years at Wabash High School,” Hall said. Remember these great times, he encouraged his peers. “Whatever we have to look forward to, going to college or going into the workforce, regret nothing from high school,” Hall continued. “Remember the stressful times as well as the fun times as the best times of our lives.” Hall recalled the words of C.S. Lewis to emphasize his point. “The fiction novelist

Hoosier farmers benefit from recent rain decrease By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com Indiana farmer’s crops are finally on their way to planting completion. Though many of them had early planting done, the cooler weather earlier this month caused many farmers to have to start over. “Some farmers told me that they had to replant more corn than they ever had to

in the past because the corn never grew,” said Curt Campbell, Wabash County, Extension Educator Agriculture & Natural Resources. “It was too cold and then rainy weather (kept) people out.” The cool weather was more of an issue this season than rain and flooding, which caused a magnitude of problems for crops at this time last year. “Flooding was

never a problem (this year), it was mostly just the cooler weather,” Campbell said. The lower temperatures may have caused issues with crop growth. However, it also helped keep nitrogen in the soil and avoided having signs of nitrogen deficiencies. Though the rain itself did not cause much delay, many people who had cover crops were behind schedule until these last few days. By the time the rain stopped, farmers didn’t have time to terminate the crops and then give the land the standard seven days before planting; so they decided to plant before terminating the cover crop. The nice weather throughout the last week has allowed them to catch up, and ironically “now they need rain,” Campbell said. Some farmers switched their crops from corn to beans, but this was mostly due to economical reasons. The price of beans were more favorable than corn, with $70-$80 more in return per acre. Farmers have taken advantage of the nice weather the counties in Indiana have experienced lately.

“My estimation would be that we are pretty much through with corn, with maybe just a hand-full of smaller farmers who have a bit to go,” Campbell said about the progress the farm-

ers have made. “Most guys are 80 percent through with beans. I think we are in pretty good shape from that point.” Not only are these crops mostly finished being planted, but are

thriving. “Beans are really taking off,” said Campbell. Farmers who have finished planting have said that beans are coming up in four days rather than the one week

that they usually take. This year’s crops were not as heavily affected by rain as they were last year. These crops suffered from different kinds of problems, but Hoosier farmers have

Southwood seniors off to fulfill their calling By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com Southwood High School’s 70 seniors took their first steps into adulthood during the Southwood graduation ceremony on Saturday, May 28. Valedictorian and Lily Scholarship winner Kolten Kersey began his commencement address by recognizing the SHS faculty. “Whether you chose to believe it or not, Southwood has a great staff here and provides a lot of opportunities you will not find at other schools,” Kersey says as he thanks the faculty for their dedication to the teaching and learning of all Southwood students. “Without the hard work that they have provided, we would not be here today with the same results.” He also focused not only on the fact that the Southwood Class of 2016 are beginning their lives as adults, but what being an adult really means. “At this point, we must accept responsibility for what happens as we continue into adulthood,” Kersey advices. “While previously it was acceptable to blame others for our trials and tribulations, in the real world this will not work.” He noted that in their futures, each graduate must stand strong. “From this point forward, you will experience life and what it has to offer. While negatives will be thrown your way, the positives are there if you look for them and reach for them.” Kersey continued, “In the game of life where it isn’t always fair, you must work hard to achieve what you personally want, not what others want for you. When you fall, you must get back up and work harder, for this is the only real way to arrive at your

desired destination.” Salutatorian Christian Deeter focused a large part of his speech on the importance of not what you do in life, but how you live it. “What truly matters is the journey, how you handle the twists and turns that life throws your way. When you get knocked down, will you get right back up or will you be a slave to the misfortunes of your life,” he said. “My advice to you is that you live life with no regrets.”

Deeter reminded his classmates that they were not all there together and graduating by accident. “Every single one of you has a bigger purpose in your life, and I challenge each and every one of you to fulfill your calling,” he continued. “Whether it be as a doctor, mechanic, or a stay at home mom, realize that your life is valuable and live each day to your full potential.” Ezekiel Wysong welcomed everyone at the inception of the gradu-

ation ceremony, while Danielle Sparling had the closing remarks. A moment of silence for Emilie Harnish took place during the ceremony. She succumbed to injuries she suffered in an Oct. 29, 2015, automobile accident while en route to the school’s volleyball sectional final on Oct. 24. The Southwood Band played their last performance of the 2015/2016 school year with the song “All Glory Told”.

Seventy-four seniors stepped into Northfield High School as students on Friday, May 27, and walked out alumni at the 53rd NHS commencement ceremony. Before throwing their caps into the air, the graduates reveled in the moment as Salutatorian Lexus Biehl said what was on each of their minds: “So this is what it feels like to graduate.” Biehl told her peers she was stuck on the thought as she wrote her student address. “All I could come up with is, ‘So this is what it feels like to graduate,’” she said. “Nothing else. “It’s crazy to think about all that has happened over the past 12 years and I can’t even think of one sentence.” Biehl and Valedictorian David Shoue reflected on the past years at NHS. “Think back at how hard basic algebra was, the terrible event when English and Math got hitched,” Shoue said. “Anyone remember sentence structure? Those things were the worst. “Whatever the circumstance, these things won’t easily be forgotten and that means the teachers

did exactly what they needed (to do).” Biehl recalled how she once thought being a senior would be “so cool.” “I would be able to walk though the hallways without being shoved, maybe even be doing the shoving,” she explained. “That couldn’t be further from the truth.” At NHS, the students were like characters from a video game, according to Shoue. “Wandering these halls, we were like so many Mario Brothers in the sewers of our lives,” he said. “Getting lost and finding our way, reaching for stars, thinking we were shiny and invincible.” However, above all else, “we were all just kids, though we never liked to admit that point, kids that wanted to be taught something and have some new thought to juggle around in our heads,” Shoue continued. “This experience is very important because now that we are moving out of this very controlled environment, each of us will be responsible for our own actions.” Biehl remembered being ready to graduate and start the next chapter. “But now that it is here, I just feel sort of lost and overwhelmed,” she said. “All we have ever known was school. Most of us have been

here at Northfield our entire high school existence. “Now we are all going to be leaving.” As scary as it is, Biehl said she also can’t help but be excited. “We are all going to be going to such different places and doing different things,” she said. “It really is exciting to think that, even though we all went to the same small high school with only 70 some people, we will be doing such different things.” Biehl encouraged her peers to remember who they are “right now.” “Remember that and then someday just think about how much has changed, how different you are,” she said. “…Next time that we all are here together like this, we will be different people. “I look forward to catching up on all of the great stories I am sure we will make in the years to come.” However, before starting the next chapter, Shoue left his graduating class with some words of wisdom. “Be the individual you have been striving for,” he said, “and find out where you, as a person, need to be.” In the years to come, Shoue said he’d love to see his peers strive to be the best at whatever they chose to be.

“If you want to be a janitor, then go out and be the very best you can,” he explained. “If you

just headed straight into the workforce, make the effort and build your own identity.”

Downtown revolution continues euphoria of winning.” Brinkman, Deluxe’s chief marketing officer, told the once-again packed theatre that Deluxe has been working with small businesses for more than 100 years. “As some of you may know, last year to celebrate our centennial, we started a movement called the Small Business Revolution,” she said. “We did that to start a conversation, a conversation about the importance of supporting the small businesses in our country.” The company documented 100 business owners stories with film and photo essays, and were moved by the response received from the public, she continued. “It was on that journey that we really realized that no where are small businesses more under siege than in our small towns,” Brinkman said, “and we really wanted to do something about that.” The competition received more than 10,000 nominations when Deluxe narrowed it down to two finalists, Wabash and Silverton, Ore. Deluxe officials and a film crew form Flow

Nonfiction first arrived in Wabash on March 5 to capture the stories of Main Street business owners, according to Downs. “We spent the day, it was kind of a dreary Saturday, going from business to business interviewing and listening to six small business owners talk about the challenges of doing business in Wabash, Ind.,” Downs said. “On that day, I really came to realize that while all of us walk by these stores every day or drive by these doors or we pass by these business owners on the street to say hello, we never really stop to listen and understand what it takes to be a business owner in Wabash, Indiana.” After that day, many developed a new appreciation and a deep respect for small business owners, he continued. “We are genuinely pleased for them that Deluxe Corporation is giving them an opportunity to improve their business and move forward with their hopes and their dreams,” Downs said.

Nonfiction’s film crew will be capturing an eight-part documentary series of Wabash, focusing on the importance of small businesses and providing a snapshot of what it takes to be an entrepreneur, according to Brinkman. “We’re about to go through a transformation, a journey together, to not only help Wabash improve, but the small businesses within your community as well and we’re so excited about that journey,” she said. “I was here last week and spent sometime with my family and I must have said to my family about half a dozen times, ‘I miss Wabash.’ “I couldn’t wait to get back.” Upon her return, Brinkman brought with her ABC’s “Shark Tank” Herjavec. While he is known as a television personality, Herjavec wasn’t born into a “privileged” lifestyle. He worked his way into it. “Believe it or not, I actually come from a really small town, a town much smaller than Wabash,” he told the audience. “It was the best experience of my life.” Born in Croatia, Herjavec was raised by his grandmother on a farm because his mother couldn’t afford to take care of him, he told Wabash residents on Friday. At 8-yearsold, his family resettled in Toronto, Canada. Since then, Herjavec began the Herjavec Group and earned a number of achievements including 2012 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in technology and the 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for

The Small Business Revolution kicked off Friday, June 3, at the Historic Eagles Theatre. WMI executive director Steve Downs (on stage, far left) informed the audience that entrepreneur and television personality Robert Herjavec (on stage, second from left) will join Deluxe Corporation’s Amanda Brinkman as Flow Nonfiction documents Wabash’s small business owners in an eight-part film series. Photo by Emma Rausch Outstanding Service to Canada among others. On “Shark Tank,” Herjavec said he sees people who want to be successful and start a business. “What I’ve learned in this day and age, it doesn’t matter where you’re from. It matters what you do with what you’re given,” he said. “Because the true integrity and the true depth of starting a business, it’s not about who your parents were and its not about how much money you have.” When he started his own business, everyone told him “in order to make money, you have to spend money” and “it’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know.” “Well my dad swept floors in a factory and my mom was a receptionist and we had a mortgage we could barely pay every month, and I thought, ‘Wow. I’m really screwed,” Herjavec said. “Then I just started out from where I

started and today we have this big company and this what we see on the show and why people love ‘Shark Tank.’ “This is what you have in this town. You have everything here that you need to be successful.” D e l u x e Corporation’s involvement is great because it is not changing what Wabash has, according to Herjavec. “They’re just amplifying it,” he explained, “because you know to be successful, you have to know the things that work and how to get other people to see what that is and this process is such a great opportunity for the rest of the world to find out how great you are.” Herjavec said he was the shy, geeky kid that didn’t put himself out there at first. “What I learned is that there is no genius in the darkness of your

basement,” he continued. “You’ve got to go out and you’ve got to let the world know why you’re great.” Throughout the summer, Brinkman, Herjavec and other Deluxe officials will be assisting Wabash’s Main Street business owners with marketing and advertising as well as providing seminars to assist other entrepreneurs throughout the city. Following the kickoff, Brinkman and Herjavec began filming at the city’s First Friday event, meeting and greeting with locals as they enjoyed the day’s festivities. Deluxe’s goal is to tell Wabash business owners’ stories, according to Brinkman. “We want to tell these stories because we want to put Wabash on the map,” she said. “Wabash is so amazing

that we want the country and the world to know about you. “But I think the opportunity that is at all of our feet is to do something bigger than that,” Brinkman continued. “Wabash is not the only small town in America that has had an industry dry up or a large employer close. This is the story across this country. “So wouldn’t it be incredible if through this journey we’re about to go on together we could inspire other small towns to band together the way you have. … I’m a really big believer that everything happens for a reason and so I want the reason that Wabash won to be doing something higher than just elevating Wabash. “Let’s lead the way and inspire other small towns across the country to do what you have already started.”

Crash injures Wabash man ... continued from the front page According to a press release from the Huntington County Sheriff ’s Department: At 12:19 p.m., a 2008 Ford Fusion driven by Wendi Biehl, 44, Andrews, was eastbound on U.S. 24 West after turning right from the south junction of State Road 105. Biehl was in the right lane when a 2014 Harley Davidson “trike” motorcycle driven by Benjamin Corn, 66, Wabash, approached from behind and attempted to pass on the left. Corn clipped the left rear of Biehl’s vehicle, causing the motorcycle to overturn several time and eject Corn.

Corn, who was not wearing a helmet, was airlifted from the scene to Parkview Medical Center with head injuries. His current condition was not available from Parkview. Biehl was not injured. In the second accident, which took place at 1:09 p.m., a semi tractor-trailer driven by Roger Stonerook, 54, Springdale, Ohio, was stopped in the right lane of U.S. 24 West, west of SR 105 due to the first crash, which had closed the roadway. A 2015 Chevy pickup driven by Kevin P. Seitz, 54, Fort Wayne, failed to stop or slow

and struck the rear of the trailer being pulled by Stonerook’s semi. The pickup truck went beneath the trailer before coming to rest. Seitz was pronounced dead at the scene due to blunt force trauma to the chest. Stonerook was uninjured. Police said both accidents are still under investigation. Agencies assisting at the scene included the Andrews Fire Department, Andrews Police Department, Parkview Huntington EMS and Huntington County Disaster Action Team (DAT).

Smith, after the council meeting, issued a statement on Perry’s retirement. “Jeff was dedicated to North Manchester for 41 years, and I’m sure he’ll continue to be dedicated to North Manchester,” Smith said. “Jeff ’s career spanned from dispatcher to police

chief. As chief, he assembled great teams, provided leadership to those teams, and made North Manchester safe for its residents. That fact was recognized nationally when North Manchester was designated as one of the safest communities in Indiana. We

all wish Jeff the best.” On June 2, former NMPD officer Steve Olsen was appointed by the Town Council as interim Chief of Police. He will remain in that position until a replacement is found. “Steve is also dedicated to North

Manchester,” Smith said. “His many years as an officer in our Police Department speak to that, and his retirement avocation providing news of interest through (Facebook page) North Manchester Real Time also speaks to that. Steve will do a great job providing transitional leadership to the police department.” Olsen spent 30 years in law enforcement, 27 of them with the NMPD, his first stint was 1978-1983, and then 1989 until his retirement in August 2012. Olsen said he was surprised but honored to be asked by Town Council to step in as interim Chief of

Police. “It wasn’t anything I was looking to do, but I’m happy they trust me to fill in until they find a replacement,” Olsen said. “I’m sorry to see Jeff go. He’s done a lot of good for the town and the department.” Olsen added that the town was looking for an administrative person to get through the transition, but with his experience and background, it was logical to go with

an interim chief. “They want me to stay inside, but if something drastic were to happen, I could respond,” he said. “But it will be the sergeants and detective to do the investigating. I’ve got good sergeants who can lead that.” Sgt. Greg Tomlinson just moved to day shift this past Monday, while Jon Pace is the second shift sergeant, and Nate Birch was just made sergeant K-

According to Smith, the town will advertise for the position of police chief. “We will be accepting resumes and go through those through a committee that will interview the candidates and recommend to the Council,” he said.

20 receive HSE diplomas at Learn More Center By The Paper staff Twenty students recently received their High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma during a May 21 ceremony at the Wabash Alliance Church. More than 125 people attended the graduation exercise made

possible through The Learn More Center, an adult basic education center with locations in Wabash and North Manchester. Having passed the tests at various sites within the state, graduates’ HSE diplomas prove their competency in writing, reading, math, social studies,

science, and logic skills. In addition, 11 students were nominated and joined the National Adult Education Honor Society, demonstrating the attributes of dependable attendance, cooperative attitude and work ethic. Four students spoke highlighting

their journeys’ barriers and triumphs as they persevered in their educational and life journey. For more information on earning a high school equivalency diploma and getting started on a new future call 260-9826138 or 877-363-6128.

Alber Street work progressing By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com While work on Phase 1 of the Alber Street project is progressing, preliminary work on Phase 2 will soon begin. The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety approved a Right of Way Services Agreement with DLZ, an engineering firm with offices in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis. Phase 2 of the project will extend from Euclid Street to U.S. 24, and DLZ’s services are not to exceed $121,000. The city received grant money for Phase I of the project in

February 2010. Phase I is the larger of the two phases and includes the area between Cass Street and Euclid Street. Both phases include widening the road to include a parking lane to the east, adding a sidewalk adjacent to the parking lane, and installing new curbs, gutters, and a sewer system. Mayor Scott Long told The Paper of Wabash County after the meeting that the work on Phase 1 is progressing. “ F r o n t i e r Communications still have to move their lines off of the poles they’ve cut off back to the new poles so that

those poles can be removed so they can start the storm water inlets on that side of the street,” he said. Long said he received a call from a concerned citizen commenting on Alber Street. “Actually, I had a recent call about people speeding along Alber Street,” he said. “I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ There’s no way you can speed along that road. “If I get another phone call I send a squad car out there to run some radar, but the condition of that road I couldn’t see anyone speeding.”

95.9 KISS FM celebrates 50 years on air By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash County’s first radio station, 95.9 KISS FM (WKUZ), took to the airways in April 1966. Owner Toni Metzgar and the rest of the staff cannot believe that 50 years have already gone by. “It’s been such a long time!” Metzgar said with a laugh. “Time flies!” KISS FM has big plans coming up to celebrate the station’s 50th anniversary. Among those plans is a month long giveaway, looking to begin in August. Concert tickets, cash, prizes, amusement park tickets, and so much more will be included in this giveaway as a thank you to the community for their support and devotion to keeping KISS FM as successful as it has been. Charlie Adams, programer and morning announcer at KISS FM, grew up in Wabash and began working with the

KISS-FM staffers include (from left) Toni Metzgar, Robert Metzgar, Charles Adams, Dylan Curless, Daleena Bailey, Heather Allen, Bill Ruppel, Keith Martin. Photo provided radio when he was 13 years old while his father, Paul Adams, founded the station. After his father passed, Charlie took over the business and has spent all of his years there since then. “He devoted his life to this radio,” Metzgar said. Adams is not the only one who found his calling through radio. Metzgar, although admittedly never dreamed of owning a radio station, has grown to love it. “I’ve always been a free bird, so I never even thought of owning anything,” Metzgar said. “But I married into the business and it’s the community that keeps us going.” KISS FM is one of a small percentage that

are still single station owners, owned by Robert and Toni Metzgar. Being in control of their radio station in a small town like Wabash allows them to give back in many ways that are both community wide and individual. “The radio gives you an avenue to reach out to people in a way that you might not (otherwise) have.” Metzgar said, explaining her favorite part about the radio station. Using radio broadcasting in order to promote businesses, make people smile, give shout-outs for their listeners, and be involved in the community is what Metzgar believes a radio station should do and she makes sure to use her career

as an outlet for it. “That’s my big thing in life,” she explained. “We are all about community, family, and friends.” Every year the station co-hosts a fundraiser to fight breast cancer with the Moonshine Cowboys Riding Club called the “Moonshine Cowboys Ride for a Cause.” By its third year (2015) of having this event, it has raised $11,500. All of the proceeds go to Francine’s Friends mobile mammography. This fundraiser takes place on July 30. The summer is a huge time of the year for the radio station to connect with their long-time, current, and future listeners. Along with the fundraiser for breast cancer, the station

also is involved with Wabash’s Relay for Life, which takes place on Aug. 6, as well as the Wabash County 4-H Fair in July, giving away prizes and playing their family friendly country music there all week long. KISS FM has brought many oppor-

tunities to the staff as well. In a conversation about her most exciting moments at the radio station, Metzgar revealed her love for Charlie Daniels and his music. After being at the station for 20 years, the KISS FM staff surprised Metzgar on her

birthday with Daniels calling her live on air to personally wish her a happy birthday. “My staff is amazing,” Metzgar said. “When you have people working for you, they become like family.” Daniels isn’t the only celebrity that the (continued on page 9)

Cost-share available to farmers for cover crop application From the Wabash County SWCD

Officials at the Wabash County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) are excited to announce they have two possible funding opportunities for cost-share assistance towards fall cover crop application. Those who farm in the Middle Eel River Watershed and/or the Wabash River Watershed in Wabash County and currently use or have ever thought about applying cover crops, now is the chance. Middle Eel River Watershed Last year the Wabash County SWCD was awarded a $70,000.00 Lake And River Enhancement (LARE) Grant and successfully allocated all those funds for the application of fall 2015 cover crops. Officials have submitted a second grant this year and are waiting to hear if it has

Meanwhile, the district would like farmers to submit an application and ranking sheet to it, so that if the district is awarded the funds the recipients are in place. Farmers can apply for up to 300 acres of cover crops and the cost-share reimburse-

three years. The district has funds left that are secured and there will be cost-share on cover crop applications this fall. The maximum amount of acres that one can apply for is 100 and the cost-share reimbursement is $20 an acre. Those who applied

radio station has a connection with. Crystal Gayle has always had a soft spot for KISS FM. When she was just starting out, the radio station aired some of her first songs and she has always been very kind toward them for their support. At the time when Gayle was starting out, radio was one of the only ways one could access music. Today, music can be accessed or bought at the tap of a finger or click of a button. These advances have dramatically changed

how the radio station operates over the years. “You used to listen to the radio station only on a radio. Now you can listen to our station on computers, iPads, phones, radio,” Metzgar said, emphasizing how much technology has affected and grown the radio industry. “95.9 KISS FM can be found on any radio, tune-in app for your phone, or through the www.wkuz.com web site.” Located on the south side of Wabash on State Road 15, the

radio station reaches up to 23 counties in North Central Indiana, airing programs, country music, contests, trivia, sports, weather, and news at the local, regional, and state levels. “(We want to give) a big thank you to all the businesses and merchants, in the past and current, that keep local radio alive!” the KISS FM staff says. “Without them and their sponsorships we would not exist. And thank you to all our listeners, who make it fun!”

4-H Grows Dedication:

4-H Projects: Beef & Veal

Throughout 10 years of 4-H participation, Cale has learned that it takes dedication to keep going, not just during fair week but throughout the year. He recalled a time as a young 4-H member when his pig got loose and was lost in a corn field. They looked for a long time but with a little dedication were able to find it. He went on to say that “Sometimes you don’t feel like getting up early to feed and water your animals, but you have to give your best all year long to maximize your potential of winning. Even through all the dedication, you may not win or go as you planned at the end.” Cale believes that the same principle will hold true in the future. “When you have a career and something is hard or doesn’t go your way, you can’t just give up. You have to be dedicated and see the task through.”

For Wyatt, 4-H is all about dedication and the time and effort it takes to get a project completed. “4-H is really a full time job. It is NOT something that can be completed over night as it takes time, money, and effort to complete it correctly.” Through 4-H Wyatt believes that he has learned to be dedicated person who works better and harder to get his work done. He does acknowledge that, “4-H and showing animals isn’t for everybody because not everyone is willing to work that hard.” Wyatt hopes that when employers see “10 year 4-H member” on a job application that they understand the dedication it takes not only to complete 10 years in 4-H but also the dedication involved in completing projects throughout each of those 10 years. Wyatt truly believes that “A 10 year 4-H member will make a great, dedicated employee.”

4-H Grows Dedication:

Future Plans: Currently interning at Ford Meter Box where he hopes to obtain a position as a tool maker

Jacob believes that, “Through 4-H I have learned that whatever it is you do, you should do it with heart and dedication. If your heart is in it, and you go at it every day, then the outcome will be better.” Jacob has learned this through care of his 4-H animal projects. Each year as he works with his animals prior to fair, he gives it his all because experience has taught him, “Whatever you input results in greater outputs.” Throughout 10 years of being dedicated to the 4-H program and his projects, Jacob has been careful to take his time and complete each step accurately. Jacob believes that the skills he learned in 4-H will make him a valuable employee in the future As he works to be a dedicated employee, he knows that accuracy pays for itself when tasks are done correctly the first time and don’t have to be redone.

$59,595.70 Our May total is $351.86 more than our April total. Dave Richards turned in $95.60 in recycling funds and the board received $300 from building rent. The prices have increased slightly and officials thank those who deposit recyclable material at the Fire Station. Vandermark reported on metal roofing pros and cons and the Board is leaning towards metal roofs. Ed Bailey reported that on more than one occasion he has had to gather up large numbers of fence rails from around the tennis and basketball courts before he can mow. The board continues to find a lot of refuse in the wooded area around both courts. Most is yard waste, but landscape stone, flower pots and tree limbs also show up. The dumpster and trash receptacles usually have residential trash in them as well. Most people in town pay for their residential trash removal. So when the dumpster at the Community Building fills more often, the board must pay for others’ trash removal also. Right now the town really looks nice and neat, so thanks to all the property owners who work to keep it that way. The Indiana Department of Transportation has notified the board that the request to lower the speed limit to 45 mph on State Road 13 was turned down because of few accidents and that the town is set back from the highway. The 45 mph diamond shaped sign is yellow and only an advisory that drivers cannot be ticketed for exceeding. If it has force of law it would be on a black and white rectangular sign.

You have to keep working with them.” Jared remembered one year in 4-H when he was walking a calf, and the calf got away from him. The calf was finally caught and put back in the pen, but it was harder to break (train) after that experience. Jared has also shown great resilience through his participation in the veal project where he is required to check on the veal three times a day, twice for feeding. Jared believes that his resilience in livestock projects and his willingness to work hard has helped him earn honors like Grand Champion Veal and Grand Champion Feeder Calf. Jared believes the resilience learned in 4-H will help him to be a better employee in the future, where he knows he may not always like the task at hand, but it’s your job and you stick with it.

4-H Projects: Child Development & Scrapbooking

Future Plans: Attend Ancilla College in General Studies & Agriculture with plans to transfer to Wilmington College for a degree in Equine Studies

4-H Grows Resilience: Through the horse project, Adrian has learned resilience in club meetings and through participation in many competitions. Adrian states, “In 4-H you learn to look for goals and are taught to remember that they may not always be reached on the first try.” Adrian recalled a 4-H show when she fell from her horse, was transported to the hospital for x-rays, and returned to participate in showmanship classes the next morning. “4-H has helped me to remember that sometimes it’s good to get knocked down, and that you just have to get back up. It makes you a stronger person.” Adrian believes that 4-H has made her a more resilient person because if she had given up every time that she didn’t do well in a competition or place as she hoped in a contest, then she wouldn’t have gotten anywhere. “I especially would not have reached the status of being a 10 year 4-H member, of which I have loved every part.”

4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves

4-H Grows Resilience: Danielle learned as a young 4-H member the importance of being resilient with 4-H project work. Danielle reminisced about two different projects where it would have been easy to give up. “When I first started cake decorating, I earned a red ribbon, but I stuck with the project for two more years and was able to improve a ribbon placing each year. I also remember the time that I enrolled in the floriculture project (after a couple years of begging my mom to let me take the project). On judging day, we left the plant that I had cared for over several weeks on the kitchen counter while loading other projects in the vehicle. We came back in the house to find the cat had helped himself to my plant. I ended up earning a white ribbon because the judge believed my plant had bugs.” Through these 4-H experiences Danielle became more resilient as she learned to cope with situations and to become a problem solver.

Some are big ones and some not so big. I have found that if we share our goals with others we are more likely to accomplish the task at hand. If I had a goal of running 2 miles, I would let others know of my goal and what I have accomplished so far. In this way I become more accountable and motivated to reach the goal. So no matter how big or small your goal is, share it with others for that extra push. Oh, by the way, the only running I do is after the ice cream truck when it goes through the neighborhood!” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Olympic trials athlete has ties to Wabash By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A Ford Meter Box plant engineer will be competing in the United State Olympic Team Trials at Omaha, Neb., June 26 to July 3. Chuck Destro, a

Miami County resident, is currently preparing to race in the 50-meter Freestyle contest for a chance at a spot on the U.S. Olympic Swim Team. Destro started his swim career when he was 8-years-old living in Pittsburgh, Pa.

“My mom kind of pushed me into that because my sister was in it and she didn’t want me playing football because that’s kind of dangerous, I guess,” he said jokingly. He’s always had an affinity for “anything competitive.”

Chuck Destro (second from left) poses for a photo with Purdue University swimming teammates (from left) Brian Kiel, Danny Tucker and Luke Trimmer. Destro told The Paper of Wabash County that he expects to see a few familiar faces at the upcoming Olympic Trials, including a few from Purdue. Photo provided

“You stick me with anything that’s competitive and I’m going to go for it,” he said, “and swimming is so time consuming and competitive that it just kind of took over, so I really didn’t think twice.” Destro swam throughout high school, setting five

school records and earned All-America honors as a junior. As a senior, he “was lucky enough to be talented enough to go to state and win (the) Pennsylvania state championship,” he said. Purdue University recruited him in 2009 where he swam four

years and graduated in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. “Purdue as a whole was just such a challenge between the major and swimming,” Destro said. “It kind of developed a lot of skills, time management, being efficient with everything.

“So I guess with that, it helps with training right now (for the trials) because I’m busy working but I also have to be efficient enough to get in the pool and train and get all that done.” Destro raced in his first Olympic Trials in 2012 before he took two (continued on page 22)

years off. This year, Destro will be heading back to the trials after he qualified the weekend of May 2022 at Purdue’s Boilermaker Aquatics Early Bird Invitational. Training for the qualifier was different,

however, than it was two years ago. “The nice thing about swimming on my own is I can focus on exactly what I want to do,” he said. “When you’re swimming in college, practices can’t be catered directly toward what you do. …

June 8, 2016

So I’m able to be more efficient now because I can train specifically for the freestyle, just the 50 Free. “It’s all spring training. I don’t have to do any endurance, hardly any aerobic training. It’s all specialized.” Destro wasn’t the

only athlete at the invitational with his sights set on qualifying for the Olympic Trials. “We had Ohio State, Northwestern (swimmers attend),” he said. “There were quite a few guys from colleges around (the area) all trying to get their trial cuts there. “I figured, it’s one of my fastest pools. I really like the pool. I trained there. I had all the added pressure of all my friends being there and I usually do better with pressure, so I kind of did (swam there to qualify) on purpose.” Destro prepared for the qualifier with six months of “really good” training. “The past 12 weeks have been really intense,” he continued. “I did basically an eight-week really intense cycle and then narrowed it down with a little bit more speed toward the end with a two-week rest period for this meet.” Unlike Olympic distance swimmer Michael Phelps’ 12,000calorie training diet, Destro sticks to protein. “Phelps is a lot more of a distance athlete, so more of his training he’s got more volume in the water, he’s got a lot more aerobics training and, naturally, his calorie count has got to be super high to keep up with that,” Destro explained. “Sprinters, we don’t need to do so

Chuck Destro, a Ford Meter Box plant engineer, will be swimming the 50 Freestyle race at the 2016 Olympic Trials. Destro began his swimming career at 8-years-old and continued the sport throughout college. Photo provided much. It’s more about building lean muscle, staying lean.” The local athlete’s training diet includes 300grams of protein, 200g of carbohydrates, 100g of fat and get about 4,000 calories per day. “The majority of that is coming from food, not protein shakes,” he explained. “Chicken, eggs, I eat a lot of tuna. “It’s kind of gross, but…” he laughed. Overall, Destro said he did fairly well at the invitational, but now he must prepare for the real challenge. “Usually, the freestyle events, everyone swims generally,” he explained. “Any freestyle event is going to be more filled and (the 50 Free) is also the shortest race. “So the gap between

those who go to the Olympics and those just getting to the meet will be much smaller than any other race, but that’s the event I do and that’s the nature of the beast.” Destro does have the odds stacked against him. “If you look at the 50 Free, I’ll be one of the smallest guys in there,” he said. “I’m 6foot-2-inches and a halfish. The guys that will be in the final, there’s not going to be anybody under 6-foot-5inches and they’re going to be lean and be about 220-240 (pounds). That’s the body type.” It is a huge mental obstacle to get around, Destro explained. “But, I guess, it’s not about what you control,” he continued. “Athletes are trained to focus on what you can

control and it’s always the next step so you don’t get caught up with looking too far ahead either.” There are approximately two weeks left of hard training before Destro takes a twoweek rest period in preparation for the Olympic Trials. “Hopefully I’ll get faster and just have fun with it because trials is a lot of people,” he said. “It’s a very high percentage that swimmers swim worse at trials because there’s about 50,000 people in the stands and swimmers aren’t used to that. “So staying focused and relaxed is huge.” Destro isn’t too worried about the pressure. “I was one of the few people who was actually faster at the trials,” he explained. He’ll also be competing against some familiar faces. “Some of my training partners are still at Purdue, some of the younger guys,” he said. “So I’ll probably going there with them … and it’ll be just like old times, but when then it comes down to meet time, we’ll be racing against each other. “And of course I’m going to touch all those guys out,” he continued jokingly. While Destro hopes to join the Olympic team, he said it’ll probably not happen. “It’s one of those things where it will be really unlikely because the athletes I’ll be competing against are pros,” he said. “I’m not a professional. These guys are trained and get paid every single day to do it. Now I can’t say that it’s not possible because there is that chance … where you could slip in there. “I’m going there with the goal of going as fast as I can.”

The Access helps celebrate Indiana’s bicentennial By The Paper staff Wabash’s Access Youth Center is helping the Indiana State Library (ISL) celebrate the state’s bicentennial. From counties all around Indiana, fourth graders are creating a “Happy Birthday, Indiana” collection of cards for the Indiana State Library to preserve in their facili-

ties for future generations. They hope to gather a total of 10,000 cards from all 92 counties in Indiana. Each card is made with acid-free paper and decorated in color pencil, including brief explanations from each decorator about “Why do you love Indiana?” and “What does being a Hoosier mean to

you?” “Being a Hoosier means dedication to everything,” fifth grader Jayse Weaver wrote. The ISL focused on fourth grade students to make these cards because they learn Indiana’s history during their school year, however, eager participants in other grades are also welcome to join the project.

“I like Indiana because it is a happy place to be,” third grader Isabelle Learned wrote. Access is hosting this activity, with one dozen students participating thus far, to allow Wabash to be represented within the counties that contribute to ISL’s celebration of Indiana’s 200th birthday.

Man convicted in 2015 hit-and-run By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

A Marion man involved in a June 2015 hit-and-run was found guilty of felony charges Friday, May 27. A jury found Timothy J. Shoemake, 34, guilty of felony leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death in connection with the June 27, 2015, hit –and-run accident that left Michael D. Leazenby

dead. Leazenby’s body was found at approximately 7 a.m. June 27 in a grassy area near AutoZone, according to the official police report. “He was walking along the shoulder when he was struck,” Prosecutor William Hartley Jr. told the jury on Friday in his opening statement. Leazenby laid there for seven hours before he was found, Hartley continued. WPD originally

However, on June 29, investigators determined using surveillance footage from nearby establishments that the vehicle involved was actually a dark-colored, possibly red, 2000-2010 Ford F150, according to the probable cause affidavit. At approximately 6:40 p.m. on June 29, Shoemake with his wife, Crystal, arrived at the WPD office advising that he might have been involved with the accident, according to Det. E. John Krhin III’s probable cause affidavit. The couple advised Krhin that Shoemake had been at a work

convention in Chicago on June 27 and drove home late to their home in Marion, according to Krhin. “There’s not a question that (Leazenby) was hit and there’s not a question that it was Mr. Shoemake’s vehicle,” Defense attorney Bradley Johnson told the jury in his opening statement. “Mr. Shoemake came from Gary to the scene of the accident.” Shoemake was “zoned in” and believed he had struck a construction barrel on U.S. 24 close to Wabash, according

USDA unveils improvements to streamline crop reporting From the USDA Farmers filing crop acreage reports with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) and participating insurance providers approved by the Risk Management Agency (RMA) now can provide the common information from their acreage reports at one office and the information will be electronically shared with the other location. This new process is part of the USDA Acreage Crop R e p o r t i n g Streamlining Initiative (ACRSI). This interagency collaboration also includes participating private crop insurance agents and insurance companies, all working to streamline the information collected from farm-

ers who participate in USDA programs. Once filed at one location, data that’s important to both FSA and RMA will be securely and electronically shared with the other location avoiding redundant and duplicative reporting, as well as saving farmers time. Since 2009, USDA has been working to streamline the crop reporting process for agricultural producers, who have expressed concerns with providing the same basic common information for multiple locations. In 2013, USDA consolidated the deadlines to 15 dates for submitting these reports, down from the previous 54 dates at RMA and 17 dates for FSA. USDA representatives believe farmers will experience a notable

improvement in the coming weeks as they approach the peak season for crop reporting later this summer. More than 93 percent of all annual reported acres to FSA and RMA now are eligible for the common data reporting, and USDA is exploring adding more crops. Producers must still visit both locations to validate and sign acreage reports, complete maps or provide program-specific information. The common data from the first-filed acreage report will now be available to pre-populate and accelerate completion of the second report. Plans are underway at USDA to continue building upon the framework with additional efficiencies at a future date.

Farmers are also reminded that they can now access their FSA farm information from the convenience of their home computer. Producers can see field boundaries, images of the farm, conservation status, operator and owner information and much more. The new customer self-service portal, known as FSAFarm+, gives farmers online access to securely view, print or export their personal farm data. To enroll in the online service, producers are encouraged to contact their local FSA office for details. To find a local FSA office in your area, visit http://offices.usda.go v.

USDA extends farm structure deadline From the USDA

WASHINGTON – A g r i c u l t u r e Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced a onetime, 30-day extension to the June 1 deadline for recording farm organization structures related to Actively Engaged in Farming determinations. This date is used to determine the level of interest an individual holds in a legal entity for the applicable program year. Farming operations will now have until July 1 to complete their restruc-

turing or finalize any operational change. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued the extension in response to farmers and ranchers who requested more time to comply, and to assure that everyone has enough time to provide their information under the new rules. “Most farming and ranching organizations have been able to comply with the actively engaged rule,” said Vilsack. “This one-time extension should give producers who may still need to update their farm structure informa-

tion the additional time to do so.” The 2014 Farm Bill provided the Secretary with the direction and authority to amend the Actively Engaged in Farming rules related to management. The final rule established limits on the number of individuals who can qualify as actively engaged using only management. Only one payment limit for management is allowed under the rule, with the ability to request up to two additional qualifying managers operations for large and complex operations.

The rule does not apply to farming operations comprised entirely of family members. The rule also does not change the existing regulations related to contributions of land, capital, equipment or labor, or the existing regulations related to landowners with a risk in the crop or to spouses. Producers that planted fall crops have until the 2017 crop year to comply with the new rules. The payment limit associated with Farm Service Agency farm payments is generally limited annually to $125,000 per individ-

ual or entity. Since 2009, USDA has worked to strengthen and support American agriculture, an industry that supports one in 11 American jobs, provides American consumers with more than 80 percent of the food we consume, ensures that Americans spend less of their paychecks at the grocery store than most people in other countries, and supports markets for homegrown renewable energy and materials. USDA has also provided $5.6 billion of disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; expanded risk

management tools with products like to Whole Farm Revenue Protection; and helped farm businesses grow with $36 billion in farm credit. The Department has engaged its resources to support a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers by improving access to land and capital; building new markets and market opportunities; extending new conservation opportunities. USDA has developed new markets for rural-made products, including more than 2,500 biobased products through USDA’s

BioPreferred program; and invested $64 billion in infrastructure and community facilities to help improve the quality of life in rural America. For more information, visit www.usda.gov/ results.

Meat and poultry exports ship profits to U.S. soybean farmers U.S. meat and poultry exports beneficial to soybean farmers now, in the future From the USDA

ST. LOUIS – The importance of poultry and livestock to soybean farmers is well documented. What may not be as well-known are the benefits for soybean farmers when U.S. meat, milk and eggs are

exported. As human demand for protein grows globally, so do the opportunities for U.S. soybean farmers. According to a soy checkoff-funded study, 40.1 million tons of soybean meal, or the meal from 1.6 billion bushels of U.S. soybeans, were exported as meat and poultry between the 2005 and 2015 marketing years. This was worth $13.8 billion to

the U.S. soybean industry. In particular, exports of chicken meat and pork were worth $6.4 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively. “As a soybean farmer, it’s important to understand that when demand grows for livestock, our demand grows as well,” says Dan Corcoran, a soy checkoff farmer-leader from Ohio. “Exporting

meat and poultry extends the market for our soybeans and benefits the U.S. economy all at the same time.” Continued collaboration with the meat and poultry industries is important to farmers’ bottom lines. According to future projections from the study, 58.1 million tons of soybean meal will be fed to animals that will be exported as meat

and poultry over the next 12 years. This will be worth $18.9 billion to the U.S. soybean industry. U.S. animal ag consumes 97 percent of the domestic supply of soybean meal, making it the most important end user of U.S. soy. The checkoff works with organizations such as the U.S. Meat Export Federation and the USA Poultry and Egg

Export Council to promote consumption of U.S. meat and poultry abroad. The 70 farmer-directors of USB oversee the investments of the soy checkoff to maximize profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds to increase the value of U.S. soybean meal and oil, to ensure U.S. soy-

bean farmers and their customers have the freedom and infrastructure to operate, and to meet the needs of U.S. soy’s customers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the USDA A g r i c u l t u r a l Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy checkoff.

Manchester University class creates endowment NORTH MANCHESTER — The Manchester University Class of 1966 celebrated its 50th anniversary with a $50,000 endowment fund to enable the president to meet unexpected needs and opportunities. It is tradition for MU class reunion gifts to take the shape of a tree planted on the North Manchester campus. This year, however, the Class of ’66 planted five young sequoia trees on the east side of the Jo Young Switzer Center and set a $50,000 goal to establish the endowment known as the Spirit of Abundance – the President’s Fund for Excellence. Earnings from the endowment will be available to the president for things such as helping students with opportunities they could not otherwise afford, celebrating meaningful events or supporting faculty in research or professional development that fall

outside the University’s regular budget. The idea started with reunion planning committee member Rich Ringeisen of South Carolina, chancellor emeritus of the University of Illinois Springfield. At UIS, Ringeisen had access to a special Chancellor’s Fund, which he could use at his discretion to cover unforeseen needs. Planning committee members made gifts of their own to the fund then asked their classmates to support the effort. “They were so excited,” said Elena Bohlander, assistant director of The Manchester Fund, who worked with the class reunion planning committee. “They just ran with it.” The endowment announcement and tree planting took part during Alumni Days in late May.
