Changes afoot for East Market Street

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The north side of the 100 block of East Market Street in downtown Wabash will be getting a new look in the not-toodistant future.

The Wabash Historical Preservation Commission granted

the Wabash County Business Alliance Foundation permission to raze seven of the nine homes between 104 and 192 E. Market St. to make room for new, highend housing.

It also granted permission for the Foundation, an offshoot of Grow Wabash County, to raze the remaining

two structures, if or when it gains ownership for those two sites.

Grow Wabash County President and CEO Keith Gillenwater explained to the commission the thinking behind the request.

Gillenwater, who began his current role in 2014, said one of the projects he

A tentative look at what the configuration for the new housing units may look like. Photo provided zeroed in on was the end of East Market Street.

“One of the things that I identified as a

weakness for our community was there hadn’t been anything that had really touched that East

Market Street corridor at the end,” he said. “There were a lot of houses there that, for the most part, were rental units. Not all of them were occupied. Some were occupied, some were not. But all of them were in a state of disrepair and needed some work done to them.”

He said he kept revitalizing East Market in the back of his mind for a few years. In 2017, a Manchester University professor approached Grow Wabash County about a class project looking at revitalizing a

community or addressing a need in community housing.

Officials asked the class to look at the East Market Street area for possible ideas.

The results of the project, which was eventually presented to the Wabash City Council, noted a need to revitalize the area into either single family homes, a mix of commercial and residential properties or condo brownstone type of housing would be best.

A few months later, Zimmerman Volk Associates conducted Continued on Page 3

a market study for housing in the city, looking not only at East Market Street, but also the Parkview legacy site on East Street and the former GDX property. The group gave suggestions on such things on what the market can sustain for new units, what sale prices could be and what lease or rental rates could be.

After that, the city and the Foundation began working to acquire the properties with a mixture of CEDIT and public funding. The group now owns seven of the nine properties and are attempting to acquire the remaining two sites.

Plans tentatively call for placing up to 12 homes at the site, ranging in size from 1,300 square feet to 1,700 square feet, Gillenwater said.

Each home would be a two-story structure two or three bedrooms.

The look of the homes also has yet to be determined.

“Our housing committee has looked over with one architect and one developer with several different designs,” Gillenwater said.

“They came at us with everything from a suburban look with garages facing the front, which no one wanted, to the brownstone look and to mixes in between.

“I think where we have collectively landed, and where our board is looking … is we wanted it to stay residential. We know downtown residents work. Units, if they become available, will sell. We’re not looking to do apartments or multifamily rental units.”

He said the structures would be considered “commonwalled, single-family units.”

Because the area is in a Historic District, any design must be approved by the commission.

City Attorney Doug Lehman also pointed out that the structures would be fairmarket units.

“We are not looking to build subsidized housing in these units,” Gillenwater added. “These would all be fair-market rate, or upper-end, higher-end market rate. There is certainly a need for subsidized housing in this community, but for this particular project we are not looking at that at all.”

He said the group has not yet chosen a developer. “But since we started acquiring the properties, we have had several people reach out to us and have interest in doing something down there, including some locals saying they would like to partner up in doing something down there,” he added. “I don’t think we’ll have trouble finding a developer to partner with us.”

Funding raised through the sale of these structures will be used for work at the Parkview legacy and GDX sites, Gillenwater noted.

Only one property in the group would be of historic value, and that is the building that once house The Wabash Hotel at 118122 E. Market St., commission chair Susan Stewart noted.

The hotel was known by a variety of names, including the Kaiser Hotel. Owner Joe Kaiser sold it to H.B. Crabil in 1909 and he kept the name Kaiser Hotel.

However, with the onset of World War I, Crabil opted to change the name to The New Wabash Hotel. The “New”

portion of the name was later dropped. It was later known as The Dixie Hotel and finally, The Allen Hotel.

Stewart said she spoke with officials from Indiana Landmarks who said saving the structure would take “an extensive renovation project.”

“It would take someone with really deep pockets,” she said. “While saving historical buildings and landmarks is our mission, we also have to be able to look at the big picture and look how we are going to benefit from this. I wish someone was around that could take care of it, but that could sit there for years and years, and from what Landmarks told me, there are a lot of issues with it.”

Commission member Lisa Gilman said she toured the structure and is concerned with the building’s basement.

“The basement has

been exposed to elements for so many decades, that there are mold growths … on the walls,” she said.

“What I saw was the complete structural support system in the basement was completely saturated with water for so many decades that these growths were happening and there was nothing you could salvage down there.

“You would literally have to put a new structural support under the building before you could even start upstairs.”

Now that the commission has signed off on razing seven properties,

Penguin Point opens North Manchester location

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com

After months of anticipation, an iconic eating establishment opens its doors in North Manchester last week.

Penguin Point, already with a restaurant at State Roads 13 and 15 on the south

side of Wabash, added a second restaurant in Wabash County with the opening of the North Manchester store Thursday, Sept. 4.

“We are excited to bring Penguin Point to North Manchester,” Penguin Point CEO Pat Hilton said.

“There is a lot of opportunity to grow,

not only in store count but in our guest service and the quality of our food.

We are really looking forward to just improving our overall operations.”

Penguin Point is famous for its tenderloin sandwich, fried chicken, crinkle cut French fries and the double deck Big Wally sandwich, all of

which are prominently featured on the North Manchester menu.

“The menu is the same,” Hilton said.

“We will have some upgraded products that we will see in our newer restaurants as well.”

Located at the former Hardee’s site on SR 114 West, Penguin Point has given the building a more modern look.

“We love the interior,” Hilton said. “The dining room is much fresher looking and we’re excited about it. The technology is much advanced, our hot holding is much advanced, and we have better fryer technology.

“We believe that new equipment will hold our products better, cook our products more efficiently, as well as deliver a better product.”

Early voting begins Oct. 6 Randy Fruitt, Sandra Atkinson, and Sharon Fruitt get ready to enjoy lunch on opening day of the North Manchester Penguin Point. Photo

by Eric Christiansen One major change customers will see with the North Manchester restaurant compared to other Penguin Point sites is the single speaker and menu at the drive thru.

“Our legacy restaurants have the carhop-like drive thru.

This new restaurant will have your everyday drive thru that you are used to pulling up and getting a greeting, not having to push a button,” Hilton said.

“What this store has that’s a lot different than the others is we have drive thru headsets instead of the car-hop hoppers,”

North Manchester Penguin Point General Manager Bri Hess said. “We also have a tablet so if you have someone at the speaker and have a car behind it, we can come to the next car, send someone out and take their order.

Then two cars can roll up. That helps the flow.”

“That will be an interesting twist in the way we take care of our customers in the drive thru,” Hilton added.

Hilton also said the restaurant is looking to put in an online ordering platform.

“It won’t be ready on day one, but when it is ready, you can place orders online and pick it up at the restaurant,” he said.

“We are hoping to cascade that to the ability to get curbside service. We are still working on the technology and hope to bring it to North Manchester and all of our Penguin Point locations.”

While the opening week will bring large crowds and possible traffic issues with the restaurant near the intersection of two state highways, Hilton feels his team will be ready.

“I hope that we handle it well enough that the flow of traffic doesn’t come to a stop, so we’ll be as prepared as we possibly can,” he said.

“We’re hoping for that type of excitement. If we cause traffic jams because people just need to come check out us out, that would be a great day for us.

“The key for us is to not only get people to check us out because we’re the new shiny penny but also take care of them in a way that keeps them coming,” Hilton continued.

Penguin Point in North Manchester will be open daily 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. with staying open an hour later until 10 p.m. on Fridays.

Early voting for the 2020 General Election will begin Monday, Oct. 6, in the Wabash County Clerk’s office.

The clerk’s office, in the Wabash County Judicial Annex, is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. It will be closed on Monday, Oct. 12, for Columbus Day. Early voting ends at noon Monday, Nov. 2.

Funds available for Wabash River Watershed

St. Charles plans annual auction The 42nd Annual Saint Charles Bazaar Silent Auction, hosted by Saint Charles Catholic Church will be on Sept. 12.

Auction items will be on the St. Charles Catholic Church Facebook page.

Bidders may place their bets on Facebook, by phone, 765-473-5543, or by stopping by Saint Charles School, located at 80 W. 5th Street, Peru.

The Wabash River Watershed is in the gray area of the map.

Known as “America’s River,” the Mississippi River is North America’s largest river, flowing over 2,300 miles through the Midwest.

This river’s elevated levels of nutrients and sediment impacts the quality of life for the tens of millions of people who live in and rely on the Mississippi River Basin. These elevated nutrient levels are also contributing to the hypoxic (low-oxygen) zone located in the Gulf of Mexico.

As a result, the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative (MRBI) is a Farm Bill conservation initiative intended to encourage farmers to adopt conservation systems in order to improve water quality.

To address these water quality concerns and agricultural sources of nutrients and sediment, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) approved two new MRBI watershed implementation projects. Both projects will work with local Indiana farmers and conservation partners to implement conservation practices that help trap sediment and reduce nutrient runoff to improve the overall health of the Mississippi River. The MRBI project in our county is the Treaty Creek-Wabash River watershed project.

The Treaty CreekWabash River watershed project is focusing on critical areas within Miami and Wabash counties.

There will be $429,000

made available for cost-share in 2021 for landowners within this Wabash River Watershed. A total of $1.5 million will be dispersed in the next four years (2021-2024).

MRBI uses several Farm Bill programs, including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP), to distribute the MRBI funds. As a result, these funds help landowners sustain America’s natural resources through voluntary conservation. Partners include Miami and Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs), Wabash River Defenders, The Nature Conservancy, Indiana State

Department of Agriculture, Indiana American Water and the City of Wabash.

To fill out an application, call the USDA Service Center in Miami or Wabash Counties.

MRBI has shown that focused water quality efforts in high priority areas can be effective in building strong partnerships, increasing trust and collaboration with landowners and farmers, and getting more conservation systems on the ground.

Tickets available for Grow Wabash County annual dinner

Registration is open for Grow Wabash County’s 2020 Annual Celebration Dinner set to take place on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 8, at the Honeywell Center.

As part of the annual festivities, Grow Wabash County will have the distinct honor of recognizing Halderman Real Estate & Farm Management as the 2020 Business of the Year. Halderman has demonstrated what it truly means to be a

pillar in the Wabash County community.

Over the past 90 years, Halderman and the Halderman family have devoted themselves to serving the local community in a variety of ways.

This year will feature Parker Beauchamp, CEO of INGUARD, as the event emcee. Pastor John Cook of the Wabash First United Methodist Church will offer up the event’s invocation.

2019 Distinguished

Citizen award recipient, Bill Barrows, will also attend to present the 2020 Distinguished Citizen award. As is tradition, the recipient is kept secret to everyone and will be revealed at the time of the award’s presentation.

Grow Wabash County has worked closely with the Honeywell Center to implement certain health and safety protocols to organize the event in a way that

allows for all of our guests and volunteers to enjoy the evening without concerns of health and safety.

“Even with all of the challenges that our business community has faced over these past several months, there have been a great deal of accomplishments and milestones that happened this year that are worthy of celebration,” Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County, said. “We remain mindful of the concerns regarding COVID-19 and are working tirelessly with our Annual Dinner committee and the Honeywell Center to tailor this event according to the health and safety needs of the community.”

The social hour will be hosted in the lobby area of the Honeywell Center and will feature added seating, appe-

tizer stations and bars dispersed throughout the lobby and mezzanine to allow for social distancing. Tables for the plated dinner will be properly spaced according to social distance guidelines in Legacy Hall and the Honeywell Room.

Awards and presentations will be presented in the Ford Theatre with staggered seating.

Join Grow Wabash County for an evening of celebration after a challenging year as we honor some of Wabash County’s greatest champions and look ahead to what exciting things will be in store for the future.

CASA to host training session Officials from CASA have announced a new volunteer training coming soon.

This volunteer program is for people who have thought about becoming an advocate for abused/neglected children in our court system and have 10 hours a month to speak for a child. There are currently 58 children on the list waiting for an advocate to help determine what is in the child’s best interest. Their case will go forward with or without a CASA. Having a CASA advocate means they would have someone to speak for them at meetings, someone who gets to know them and what they want to happen, someone to make nonbiased third-party recommendations to the court. It means they have a better chance at a safe permanent home without returning to the system. It means the judge will have more information to determine the outcome of the rest of their life. It means a family in crisis has a team mate that keeps the child’s best interest at the front of it all.

Go to the CASA website for more information on the difference CASA Advocates make in a child’s life and future and to register for the training.

Advocates must be 21 and able to pass background checks. They will receive training, materials and support to be an advocate for abused/neglected children in Wabash County.

The Den cial institution were “happy and very excited” to be involved with the project.

“We’ve had a longstanding relationship,” he said. “We think our history is vitally important to who we are, and it is important to who we become in the future.”

Figert also thanked Beacon for its involvement and his staff.

“This was no small feat,” he said. “There was a lot of little tasks, and a lot of big things as well. We had to move a wall.

Up until yesterday we were doing little tweaks.

“I really appreciate my staff, appreciate the board of directors for trusting all my crazy ideas. I know I pushed the limit, but it does keep this space fresh, and it keeps people coming from all over the state of Indiana to visit.”

Ottinger and Hank Dyson; Sept. 15 – Michelle Hawkins and Brandon Houlihan PASTOR MACE thoughts for this week: The church is not a building but a group of local believers in Jesus Christ, who gather together to worship God, equip one another, and reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ to their families and friends. God no longer lives in the tabernacle but lives within each person who accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior.

Believers are bought with a price and belong to God. Our bodies are the temple of the living God. We no longer need an earthly high priest because Jesus is our great high priest. We pray to God in Christ who has made it possible for us to pray to God. The head of the church is Christ.

There is no earthly person who is the head of the church.

Not pastors, deacons, board members, wealthy givers, nor the loudest complainers. We are all to submit to Christ who is the head of the church and fulfill our roles given to us. If we are to follow God’s design for true spiritual growth, then we need to follow His design from Ephesians 4.

Pastors and teachers are given to the church not to be in

charge, but to equip the body. Pastors are not the hired gun slinger to bring growth. They can not and should not be expected to be the sole agent for growth.

They are to preach and teach the word to the body of Christ.

Deacons are to minister to the needs of the people so it doesn’t take the pastors away from their task in the word. The teaching should equip the people for the work of the ministry and build up and strengthen the body of Christ. Pastors today are busy doing many things that take them away from what God designed. Help your pastor and protect his time so he can be in the word and teach others.

This teaching continues until the body obtains unity of the

faith and knowledge of the son of God. The body needs to be taught the whole truth of God’s word systematically. They need to be able to use God’s word effectively in order to be an influence for the gospel of Jesus Christ. The equipping also should bring unity within the body and make the body mature and complete in Christ. This teaching will also warn and protect the followers from false doctrines and teachings.

But the key to church growth is actually found in verse 16 which says, “from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself

up, in love.” So, it is the whole body that is involved in church growth, when it is functioning properly.

We need every part of the local body to be working properly in order to grow and build itself up in love.

Are you willing to submit to God and follow his design? Are you allowing your Pastor to equip you for the work of the ministry? Are you an active part of God’s

family in your local church body? Let’s grow God’s way.

The Paper of Wabash County

September 9, 2020

The Urbana Streetlight Committee has sent out post card notifications to each PO Box and rural addresses for collecting monies for the streetlights.

This money will be used to supply the Urbana Light Fund with enough money to pay the monthly light bill that the Committee must pay each month to keep the streetlights on.

The Committee is not asking for a lot and if every household would give what they can to help, the committee will be able to keep the lights on.

I will be collecting for the whole month of September. There is no hurry for you to pay but don’t forget to. The 21 streetlights that are in Urbana are here for your protection and to keep the community safe.

Do you remember when the Christmas Journey was done that one December several years ago?

The Committee con-

URBANA

Urbana Streetlight Committee seeks help from residents

Michael Mich Michael ael Sn Snell ell 260-774-3665 pinkynova71@ hotmail.com

tacted Duke Energy; they said sure we will be glad to turn off the street lights for the event. Man, this little town was very dark.

The committee contacted Duke Energy to have the lights turned back on after the event. What Duke failed to tell the committee was that to turn them back on would cost a small fortune. Sure, it was fun but it turned out to be very costly.

For the ones that have just moved into Urbana, I want to welcome you and to explain why they need to help with the streetlights. Urbana

is not incorporated. I lost a major funding a couple years ago and has not been able to compensate for the loss. It has been a struggle to keep the lights above water so to speak. I have more money going out for the lights than I have coming in.

The Streetlight Committee is going to try to raise more funds by holding a tenderloin fry meal over at Urbana’s ball field this year. This will be held on Sept.

26, from 3-6:30 p.m.You will come into the ball field on the south end and follow the arrow path as marked, pay your $9, get a ticket and go to the Snack Shack.

There you will present your ticket and get two tenderloins, green beans, coleslaw and chips then exit out the north end.

As most of you here in Urbana know, Bonita, my son Matt and I put on a Halloween Car and Truck Show to help raise money for the

streetlights. This will be our 20th year of putting on the show.

This year it will be held on Oct. 17, 2020.

Also if you know of a light with a problem, call me and I’ll have a work order made to have the light fixed.

A Medical Center was needed in Urbana and the year was 1959. the medical center has been under consideration by the Urbana Lions club for several years.

Urbana resident Morris Speicher was Lions Club president at this time and has been very active in club’s activities since the club’s charter in 1952. Lions took formal steps to build a medical center.

The general plan is a building suitable for medical purposes.

A doctor’s reception, waiting rooms, rest rooms, consultation rooms and examination rooms. All of this was considered and arranged into the structure. It was the total consent of the club that this was the first step in achieving their set goal.

An investigating committee was appointed to study similar projects at

Silver Lake, Twelve Mile and Denver. The committee was composed of the Rev. Arthur Heisler, chairman, Paul Brembeck, Howard Wolf, Gerald Miller and Floyd Whistler. They also were to look into the different possibilities for the location of the medical center. The committee’s final report was presented for the location which was composed of two lots.

The lots were offered by Mrs. Naomi Ullom of Urbana. The lots are located on the east side of SR13 on the south end of Urbana.The building will be 28 feet by 50. feet, a veneered structure of either stone or brick and all on one floor level. The completed structure will be easily visible from SR13. Plenty of adjacent parking area is available. Some permanent committees were appointed for definite procedures at once.

Lions Mr. Heisler was appointed treasurer, Wilbur Dawes, publicity director; John Chamberlain, Lewis Ringel and Ivan Hudson, con-

struction committee.

The medical building was completed and the Lions started looking for doctors and spreading the word out that they had built a new medical center.

Dr. John “Hap” Dragoo took up his practice in Urbana and opened the new medical center in 1961. It is unknown how many patients Dr. Dragoo had and took care of. The medical center closed in 1989 and is now being used as a home.

From all the information I could find, Dr. Dragoo was the one only doctor to use the new medical center.

Urbana Yoke Parish: Church Board meeting will be held in the Fellowship Hall, Wednesday Sept. 9, at 6:30pm.
