Festival celebrates the arts

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Plays, games and special guests were just a few of the features at the 10th annual ArtsFest, a three-day festival in downtown Wabash.

Thursday, Aug. 3, through Saturday, Aug. 6, crowds gathered at sites including the Charley Creek Gardens, the Honeywell House, the Historic Eagles Theatre and the Honeywell Center for a variety of arts and entertainment events.

Ranaan Meyer, ArtsFest artistic director, told The Paper of Wabash

County the goal of this year’s festival was to encourage the arts in attendees by hosting performances and talks that inspire.

“This year is really going to be the first time that it’s truly going to feel like a festival,” Meyer said. “You won’t be able to hit everything if you’re only going to ArtsFest for the weekend as opposed to some of the years past where you really could go to everything or almost everything because there was some lag time.”

This year, lag-time was eliminated and attendees were made to choose what they wanted to see from this

year’s list of events, he continued.

Festival-goers had the option of attending free Shakespeare in the Park shows, Jazz on the Lawn and several live band performances throughout the three days of entertainment.

However, audience members only had one chance to meet Angelo Pizzo, the screenwriter of the 1986 sports film “Hoosiers,” or see New York City cabaret singer Kim Grogg in concert.

Pizzo, a Bloomington-native, answered questions about his career and how he became a screenwriter following the showing of “Hoosiers” on (continued on page 4)

As a high school student, Chris Goff wasn’t certain he would go to college.

As a junior or senior at Southwood High School, he was convinced to apply to college. He did, and soon developed an interest in the legal profession.

It was a decision well made, for today, Goff is now in his second week as the newest justice on the Indiana Supreme Court. He was appointed to the post on June 12 by Gov. Eric Holcomb, and was sworn in on July 24.

“I decided to go to CHRIS GOFF college when we moved from Huntington and I became a student at Southwood,” Goff told The Paper of Wabash County in a telephone interview from his office in Indianapolis. “There was a counselor there named Bob Dawes who encouraged me to go to college.”

FunFest takes place this week

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — The 46th Annual FunFest by the River will come to North Manchester this week.

This year’s festival, themed “Car-toons by the River at FunFest”, will feature several new events, including a tractor show and industrial tours.

“A new event on Saturday is the Tractor Show. Right now, we know we have 50-70 tractors coming, and

they’re old tractors to new tractors. Ed Egner has worked very hard on that,” FunFest Committee Co-Chair Karen Fawcett said.

Registration for the tractor show will be from 9-11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 12, on Main Street. The event is sponsored by North Manchester Custom Monuments.

According to North Manchester Chamber of Commerce Director Debra Pyrah, POET Biorefining is sponsoring one-hour round-trip tours of its facility on 800 South Saturday, Aug. 12.

Trolley No. 85 will depart from downtown on the hour for four hours, starting at 11 a.m. and ending at 2 p.m.

Additional events will be familiar to those who have attended FunFest in previous years, starting in the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 9.

Wabash County has formally agreed to seek a $350,000 grant to tear down the old Roann school building.

The Wabash County Board of Commissioners signed a resolution at its Monday, Aug. 7, meeting declaring their intent to seek a grant through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) with the Town of Roann, with Roann being the lead applicant on the grant.

Roann ClerkTreasurer Bob Ferguson addressed the commissioners at their April 24 meeting regarding the grant, which is through the OCRA Blight Clearance Program.

At that meeting, the commissioners agreed to become joint owners of the property and apply for the OCRA grant, provided that Roann

pass an ordinance stating that the town would be the lead applicant.

The grant requires a minimum local match of 10 percent of the total amount applied for. The resolution states that the county will provide $30,882 in matching funds, with the town providing $15,441 to exceed the minimum match.

According to County Auditor Marcie Shepherd, the total cost of the project is more than $410,000.

The commissioners unanimously passed Resolution 2017-85-05 with no further discussion on the matter.

The commissioners also approved Resolution 2017-85-04, which officially modifies the county’s employee handbook to better comply with state statutes regarding overpayment of employees.

At last week’s meeting, County Attorney

Steve Downs informed the commissioners that the county’s policy was to correct overpayments by deducting the overpayment amount in the following paycheck.

State statute, he said, only allows for up to 25 percent of the employee’s take-home pay to be deducted.

The commissioners also unanimously approved this resolution with no further discussion.

Additional news from the commissioners’ meeting included approval for more than $28,000 in road striping expenses and the weekly jail report.

County Highway Superintendent John Martin asked the commissioners for approval to restripe three roads, for a cost of $28,742.67: Old U.S. 24 from U.S. 24 to 800 West; Meridian Road from North Manchester town limits to 1500 North; and Old State Road 15

from Wabash City limits to LaFontaine town limits.

Martin said that the new stripes will be done with regular road paint.

Sheriff Bob Land provided an unofficial report, saying that there were 90 inmates in the Wabash County Jail, with an additional 36 being held in Miami County, six in Elkhart County and seven in Wells County.

Land also said that there are four doors in the Wabash County Jail that need repairs, and that his department received a quote from a San Antonio, Texas – based company for $4,410, provided that they can find the parts.

“It’s getting harder and harder to find the parts for these doors,” Land said.

“They’re not sure if they can come up with parts, but they’re going to look.”

The commissioners approved the repairs.

USDA seeks applications for loans to provide broadband in rural areas From the USDA WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Agriculture is accepting applications for loans to provide and expand broadband service in rural areas, Assistant to the Secretary for Rural Development Anne Hazlett announced today.

“Modernizing the nation’s infrastructure to deliver highspeed internet service is essential in today’s global marketplace,” Hazlett said.

“Broadband helps create jobs. It also helps rural areas offer the programs and services that strengthen economies and encourage growth.

These loans will help maintain America’s economic competitiveness and connect rural communities to more opportunities.”

USDA plans to make at least $60 million in loans available through today’s announcement. Loans can range from $100,000 to $20 mil-

lion. They will be provided through USDA Rural Development’s Telecommunications Program. This program funds infrastructure and equipment to deliver broadband, distance learning and telemedicine services in rural areas. Projects receiving funding must offer broadband service at a minimum bandwidth of 25 megabits downstream and three megabits upstream.

Expanding broadband service is a key component of the President’s plans to improve rural infrastructure.

Last month, Secretary Perdue announced $34.6 million in loans that will add nearly 1,000 miles of fiber for broadband service in rural parts of Illinois, Iowa and Texas.

The deadline for applications is September 30. For details on how to apply, see page 34473 of the July 25 Federal Register.

USDA is offering

pre-application assistance to review draft applications, provide detailed comments, and identify whether the draft application meets eligibility requirements for funding. For assistance, please contact the General Field Representative in the state where the proposed broadband project is to be located.

Application assistance will be available on a first-come, firstserved basis through September 22, 2017.

USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; homeownership; community services such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas.

Third CO.STARTERS cohort set to begin

By The Paper staff Grow Wabash County, in conjunction with INGUARD Insurance and the M a n c h e s t e r University College of Business, we host the third C O. S TA RT E R S cohort beginning Wednesday, Oct. 11.

The class is being partially underwritten through a grant from the Community Foundation of Wabash County.

CO.STARTERS is a nine-week cohort based program that

equips aspiring entrepreneurs with the insights, relationships, and tools needed to turn ideas into action and turn a passion into a sustainable and thriving endeavor.

Groups of 10-16 entrepreneurs meet for nine weeks, meeting one evening a week for three hours, led by a facilitator.

CO.STARTERS facilitators are experienced entrepreneurs, educators, and business owners from the community who guide participants

through the program by asking the right questions, drawing on the knowledge in the room, and using available resources and connections in the community to point participants in the right direction.

For this fall’s cohort, course facilitators are Steve Edris, former CEO of Thermafiber; Alan Tio, Business Development at Michael Kinder & Sons, Inc.; and Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, President and CEO of Grow Wabash

County.

D u r i n g CO.STARTERS, participants develop and fine-tune their ideas, critically examining every part and determining next steps through real-time feedback from people in the community.

Over the nine weeks, topics of discussion include everything from business structure to knowing your customer to determining a ventures break-even point. In addition to exploring different topics each week, guest speakers

are also brought in weekly to enrich the conversation and help participants learn from the experience of others in the community.

“Over the last year, we have graduated two cohorts of CO.STARTERS consisting of 16 small businesses and entrepreneurs who are working hard to take their businesses and ideas to the next level,” Gillenwater said.

“I would encourage any entrepreneur who is looking to get traction

behind their idea and turn it into a business or for any business owner who wants to take some time to refocus back on the structure and mission of their business to consider signing up for CO.STARTERS.” The CO.STARTERS course cost is $300 per business concept.

Scholarships and financial assistance may be available. The class will be held in Messer Lab at INNOVATE @ INGUARD located at 231 W Canal St, Wabash,

begining Oct. 11. The classes run from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday evenings, except for Thanksgiving week.

Entrepreneurs and Small Business owners interested in enrolling in this course can register online at wabashchamber.org/ events. If potential applicants have questions they may reach out to Grow Wabash County at info@g rowwabashcounty.com or call 260.563.5258 for more information.

Manchester names first Muir Professor of Peace Studies From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — Elton Skendaj is the first Gladdys Muir Professor of Peace Studies at M a n c h e s t e r University, President Dave McFadden a n n o u n c e d Wednesday, Aug. 2.

It is a $1.5 million endowed professorship; the principal will remain invested and the earnings are intended to secure the position in perpetuity.

Skendaj has a rich background in research and hands-

on work with peace organizations.

“He’s an especially good fit for Manchester because he loves teaching young people how to create a more just and peaceful world,” McFadden said in today’s email to the Manchester community.

A native of Albania, Skendaj started his journey in peace studies by witnessing conflict in the Western Balkans.

That background inspires his current research program, which addresses how international and

ELTON SKENDAJ local actors can build political institutions that sustain peace and justice in postwar societies.

He explores that theme in his book, “Creating Kosovo:

MU listed among ‘Best in the Midwest’ From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r University is one of the best colleges in the Midwest, according to the Princeton Review.

The well-known education services company lists the university based in North Manchester, among its “Best in the Midwest” recommended schools in “2018 Best Colleges: Region by Region.”

Only 158 colleges in the 12 Midwestern states made the “Best in the Midwest” list for 2018. Manchester, a perennial on the list, annually ranks among the best in the nation and the Midwest among college guides for its rigorous academic programs and commitment to volunteer

service.

For its 26th edition, “Best 387 Colleges 2018,” Princeton Review surveyed thousands of students at schools across the nation.

“We gave careful consideration to what students enrolled at the schools reported to us about their campus experiences on our student survey for this project,” said Robert Franek, the Princeton Review’s senior vice president and publisher. “We designed our 80-question survey to include questions that prospective applicants might ask on a campus visit. Only schools that permit us independently to survey their students are eligible to be considered for our regional ‘best’ lists, and only schools at which we see a strong level of satisfaction among

their enrolled students – whom we consider their customers – make it to our final slate of regional ‘best’ college selections.”

Manchester undergraduate students cited in the report said MU “prepares you for the real world,” in a safe and welcoming environment. Students get involved in campus clubs and service organizations, in large part because the University is in a quiet town, and they go to nearby Fort Wayne for things such as big-city malls, restaurants, laser tag and rock climbing.

Manchester has a second campus in Fort Wayne that focuses on post-graduate pharmacy programs.

Princeton Review editors also made their selections based on data collected from administrators, staff visits to schools over

International Oversight and the Making of Ethical Institutions.”

Skendaj comes to Manchester from the University of Miami.

His work at Manchester as an associate professor will include a firstyear seminar about the effectiveness of nonviolent techniques in achieving peace and justice in the world.

“The addition of this position strengthens our ability to educate students across disciplines and it enhances our reputation as the world’s first undergraduate peace studies program and a global leader in peace studies education,” McFadden said.

Gladdys Muir launched the world’s first undergraduate

peace studies program at Manchester in 1948. Her groundbreaking program, which examined issues of interpersonal conflict and structural injustice, was so visionary that 23 years passed before another U.S. institution followed her lead.

A Manchester Peace Studies Advisory Council first recommended the endowed professorship 25 years ago, in 1992. Major support

came in 2002 from Lilly Endowment Inc., through its Plowshares program, followed by gifts over the years from individual donors.

MU met its $1.5 million goal for the endowed chair in the final hours of 2015, and a national search began in the second half of 2016.

Skendaj earned his bachelor’s degree from the American University in Bulgaria, a master’s

degree in peace studies from the Kroc Institute at the University of Notre Dame, and a master’s and Ph.D. in government from Cornell University.

Festival celebrates the arts Friday night, Aug. 4.

As a member of the arts community, Pizzo said he chose to attend ArtsFest for two reasons, the first being that he likes to support any arts organization, fair or conference.

“If I can do anything to help other people, younger or older, any one can be creative at any time in their lives,” Pizzo told The Paper in an interview following the question and answer forum. “Secondly, I have a very fond memory of Wabash because Richard Ford is a friend of mine, was a friend of mine.

We served on the board of the

Heartland Film Festival for many years together and he invited me up to speak at the Honeywell House, which I did, and he showed me around town and all the amazing things that he helped get going.

“So when I was asked, I thought of Richard. I thought, ‘This is what Richard would have wanted.’”

Bright and early on Saturday morning, youths and their families gathered outside the Honeywell Center for the Kid-O-Rama Family Festival. The festival featured zorb balls, pedal go-karts, a foam party, face painting, balloon artists

Hoosier Shakes presented four days of two Shakespearean performances, “Much Ado About Nothing” and “Romeo and Juliet.”

No matter the event, however, the price of admission was purposefully made to be as affordable as possible, according to Meyer.

“That’s the idea,” he explained.

“Richard Ford, when he started this 10 years ago, it was all about that. It was all about involving the community and trying to, a little bit, disparage experiences and expanding horizons for people while not making it anything but accessible and fun for everyone.”

Affordable ticket pricing and continuing Ford’s vision are two “major parts of the mission,” he continued.

“I think we did have some higher prices as some point a couple years ago,” he said, “ and we learned right away that that was something that is really difficult. In years to come, we’re going to probably have some really high profile artists that we’ll have to increase our ticket prices a bit, but hopefully we’ll have discounts, we’ll have ways to really involve everybody. So

anybody that truly wants to go can go.”

The festival and its line-up was a team effort, according to Meyer.

“It’s an incredible team effort with Andrea Zweibel, Katie Beauchamp and Michele Hughes and the ArtsFest volunteers that work so hard and they do it so selflessly throughout the entire year,” he said. “Everybody just works so hard.

Everyone is just working their tails off to make everything great. We’ve had a lot of meetings over the course of the year about the content and what will go into it.”

As the festival continues to grow through the years, Meyer said that a key piece to its success is that the community feels included and “more importantly like it’s theirs.”

“In order to claim ownership, you need to make it available to everyone,” he e x p l a i n e d .

“Availability comes down to ticket price and it also comes down to making everybody feel home, which I feel is a Wabash attitude, listening to everyone’s constructive criticisms and growing it in a way that shapes the community but also pushes the envelop at the same time.

Goff embraces new duties

ed at the now Maurer School of Law at Indiana University in Bloomington. After working at Mills & Northrop (and later Mills Northrop & Goff LLP), a Huntington law firm, he was appointed Wabash County Superior Court Judge in 2005, replacing Michael Sposeep who retired from the position.

“I always wanted to be a judge, but that’s not always easy to do,” he said. “The opportunities have to come along.

My opportunity came in 2005 when Judge Sposeep retired and the governor began seeking applicants for the Superior Court bench. I was fortunate enough to get the appointment.”

Goff said he enjoyed his time on the bench here in Wabash County.

“I loved the job,” he said. “It was an honor and a privilege to

work in Wabash with so many great people in my hometown. I had always hoped to get that chance, but I really didn’t expect to.

I thought I would just go on practicing.”

While on the bench here, Goff was instrumental in starting the Wabash County Drug Court and Re-entry Court.

“Establishing problem solving courts in Wabash County is probably the best work I’ve done in my professional career because problem solving courts are really a way for a person who gets into legal trouble to focus on the reason it happened and to address it and remedy it.

“I thought when I started judicial services in Wabash County that establishing a Drug Court would be one small way that I could help address the problem associated with drug

abuse in our community. Over time, the thing that I really came to appreciate was how all of the different stakeholders in the program bought into the concept. And what was really cool was to see the folks that went through the program and succeeded, come to love and appreciate themselves and to view the criminal justice system differently.”

The court not only helped the individual, but it also served to help families.

“I remember some drug court graduations where these folks would bring in their families,” Goff said. “You’d see little kids walk into the court room who never before had any kind of positive experience with the law enforcement, or judges, or lawyers, and they were proud of their parents. They really, I think, viewed what

we do in the criminal justice system differently.

“They had hope, and it was well placed hope. They had opportunities that they would otherwise not have had it not been for their loved ones’ hard work to solve their problems.”

Since being sworn in to the Indiana Supreme Court in late July, he’s been learning about and getting situated into the new position.

“It’s a big jump as you can imagine,” Goff said, “but you can also imagine it’s a pretty cool place to work. The other justices are really supportive. The support staff that they have in place here, they’re just really good at what they do. It’s been a lot of fun so far.”

But, Goff admits, this is a slow time for the Indiana Supreme Court.

The Indiana

Supreme Court is a court of last resort, Goff explained. It takes cases through a process called transfer.

“In Indiana, you have the right to one appeal,” he continued, “and most appeals are to the Indiana Court of Appeals. Some cases, a limited number of circumstances are direct cases to the Indiana Supreme Court, but most aren’t.”

Most cases arrive at the Indiana Supreme Court after a person loses their first appeal, they are able to file a petition for transfer.

“Once that happens, those petitions are considered by the justices,” Goff said. “If one justice thinks it is a topic worth discussion, then the issue will be discussed in c o n f e r e n c e .

p.m., Art and Brushes at the Moose Family Center on Main Street at 6:30 p.m.; and an UnScripted Concert at 7 p.m. in Market Square.

“Thursday, al the vendors will be there, all the food. We’ll have basketball – the threeon-three tourney – we’re still accepting teams for that. That’s always a big hit.

There’s also the Cutie King and Queen, which we do every year for the little kids,” Joel Garber, another event cochair, said.

The tournament begins at 5 p.m. in Market Square.

Registration for the Cutie King and Queen Contest begins at 6 p.m., with the contest itself beginning at 6:30 p.m., both on the Chamber of Commerce lawn.

Several other attractions and events also begin or take place Thursday.

“The carnival rides open that night, and we also have a magician on Thursday night for the children, after the Cutie King and Queen contest,” Erica Garber, the third co-chair, said.

Carnival rides by A n d e r s o n Amusement begin at 4 p.m. on Main Street, and Jim Barron’s Magic Show will start at 8 p.m. on the

Crossroads Bank Stage.

A d d i t i o n a l Thursday activities include fire truck rides (6-8 p.m., North Market Street), Trivia Night (6 p.m., Moose Family Center) and the annual Hymn Sing (7 p.m., The Firehouse).

On Friday, the Eel River Cruisers Car Show and the American Legion Motorcycle Show will fill Main Street with classic and modern vehicles. Registration for the motorcycle show begins at 1 p.m. in the Post No. 286 parking lot, and the car show runs from 211 p.m. on Main and Mill streets.

Additional Friday activities include a second night of carnival rides (4-11 p.m.), free admission to the Center for History (10 a.m.-9 p.m.), live music at The Firehouse with Road Dog and Dakota Parker (5-8 p.m.), Trolley No. 85 rides (510 p.m.), a euchre tournament (7 p.m., Scout Hall), and the Wabatucky Shooters (8-11 p.m., Crossroads Bank Stage).

Saturday kicks off with an all-you-caneat breakfast buffet (710 a.m., Moose Family Center), and the 46th annual FunFest 5K and Fun Run/Walk begins at 8 a.m. at the

Strauss-Peabody Aquatic and Fitness Center.

A d d i t i o n a l Saturday events include the Farmers market (8 a.m.-12 p.m., Riverbridge Electric), the Nick Winters Memorial Bench Press (9 a.m. – 1 p.m., Warvel Park Gazebo), the table tennis tournament (9 a.m. – 4 p.m., Scout Hall), the Bellwood Canoe Race (1 p.m., Liberty Mills Public Access Site), and square and line dancing (6:30 p.m., intersection of Third and Market streets).

This year’s FunFest parade, Car-toons by the River, will begin at 5 p.m. and goes through town.

“We have a lot of Shriners coming this year to join our parade. That will make our parade probably twice as long as it normally is,” Fawcett said.

The day’s festivities will end with a Zach Day Band concert, starting at 8 p.m. on the Crossroads Bank Stage.

The final event of the weekend will be the Izaak Walton League Prize Shoot, which begins at 12 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 13 at the Liberty Mills IWL Club Grounds.

All FunFest events are free, thanks to sponsorship by local businesses.

“All of our entertainment is thanks to Crossroads Bank.

They have been our sponsor for our bands, our magician… I can’t tell you all of our sponsors.

We have a lot of them, and we’re so thankful,” Fawcett said.

“You could come and do a lot of things and not spend a dime.

If you want to eat or drink something, yes, you’re going to spend money, but everything’s free – except of course our rides.

Every event is sponsored by someone in town.”

According to Fawcett, the late Chris Garber, former Chamber director and Town Council president, encouraged the Chamber board of directors to take on the annual festival several years ago.

“When the original group was going to disband and there was no one to do it, he brought us all together and asked if we could do it… the Chamber took it on, and it’s been wonderful. My thing now is to keep it going because Chris loved FunFest,” she said.

Joel Garber added, “It’s great. A lot of good people from the community to come out. We continue to have great businesses in town that help us

whether transfer will be made from the Court of Appeals.”

While oral arguments won’t begin until Sept. 7, there are still plenty of other things to read and other administrative duties to tend to, he said.

Although he was sworn in just more than two weeks ago, a formal robbing ceremony has yet to take place. That is expect-

ed to happen on Sept.

1 in Indianapolis.

Looking back on his time in Wabash, Goff said, “I enjoyed my work. I never really viewed it as work, most days.

“I tried not to leave before it got done, and I tried to make myself available to the folks who relied on the court. I tried to get it right. I hope I have done that.”

ISDA accepting grant applications From the ISDA

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) is now accepting applications for the 2017 Specialty Crop Multi-State Grant Program (SCMP), a competitive grant created to help develop solutions to issues affecting the specialty crop industry across state boundaries.

“Bringing partners together from other states is a great way to strengthen the specialty crop sector and address

some of the critical issues facing growers today,” said Ted McKinney, ISDA Director. “As much as we can, we want to enhance the competitiveness of our agricultural products, and this program, open for the first time to Indiana, provides an avenue to make that happen for this sector.”

Funded by USDA’s Ag ricultural Marketing Service (AMS), the program was designed to address plant pests, diseases, and crop-

specific issues; support food safety and research; and increase marketing opportunities for specialty crops like fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, and horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture.

To ensure collaboration, every project must include at least two out-of-state partners, which can be made up of state agencies, tribal governments, universities, non-profits and other specialty crop organizations. The partners are encouraged to develop projects that bring together teams to research and cultivate solutions to address the needs of specialty crop growers.

AMS specifically encourages projects that will: — Develop adaptation and mitigation strategies for farmers in droughtstricken regions of the country.

— Increase opportunities for new and

beginning farmers.

— Develop strong local and regional food systems.

— Protect pollinator habitats and improve pollinator health.

— Support the growth of organic specialty crops.

— Benefit underserved communities and veterans.

— Involve contributions to the project by partners of cash and/or in-kind resources as appropriate.

— Improve producer and facility capacity to comply with the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act. To apply for the SCMP grant, please v i s i t www.in.gov/isda/247 4.htm. Proposals are due September 18, 2017, by 5:00 p.m.

5th annual AYC backpack giveaway readies 400 youth for school

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Access Youth Center ensured nearly 400 youth were school ready at the organization’s fifth backpack giveaway on Thursday, Aug. 5, and Friday, Aug. 4.

With Wabash County schools welcoming students back Wednesday, Aug. 9, supplies such as backpacks, pencils and paper are a necessity for learning, not an option, according to Laura Helm, AYC director.

“This year, we prepared just a little over 400 (to give away),” Helm told The Paper of Wabash County on Thursday following the first giveaway. “Last year, we gave 408. Our goal is always to have 500 at the ready. This year, our donations were down a little bit.

However, this week a lot of people turned out and brought things in.

“In fact, just a couple hours ago (before doors opened for the giveaway) somebody came in with two brand new backpacks to give us.”

Book bags ranging from Walmart to Marvel brands were filled with a variety

of supplies depending on the grade level. While preschool and kindergarten youth received crayons, high school students received highlighters for studying.

In all, the Access gave away between $20 and $35 of school supplies with each bag, according to Helm.

“We try to do just the very basics,” she said. “Crayons, pencils for the elementary kids, markers for the middle school kids, highlighters for the high school kids because they need that. So just a sampling to get them started for school and then we also have ear buds or headphones so that every kid has them because (students) pretty much all need them.

“If we can start them off with basic school supplies and a backpack, we’re just thrilled that we’re able to do that.”

While the AYC gave away a majority of its bags on Thursday and Friday, the organization always stores additional ones in case a student is in need of one throughout the school year, according to Helm.

“We gave back-

kids, that’s great. If that’s 500 kids, that’s great. We just want to be able to serve the kids that need this to get them started for the school year.”

The AYC’s officials are glad to be able to provide the backpack giveaway and service the community’s inneed youth, she continued.

“What’s exciting for us is we have had lots and lots of people that have come in to say, ‘You know, our family was kind of in

a place where we couldn’t afford it and so this year we want to help,’” Helm said.

“We had some volunteers here this week who said, ‘You helped us when we needed it and now we want to help out as much as we can,’ and that has been exciting.

“Every single one of us needs some help somewhere along the line,” she later continued, “and if this is what we can do, we are thrilled to be able to do it.”

of the giveaway.”

No matter how many backpacks the AYC offers during the giveaway, Helm said the organization simply hopes to fill the

need.

Examine trees during Tree Check Month From the DNR August is National Tree Check Month, the time to make sure trees are healthy, strong and pest-free.

Trees serve as wind breaks and sun shields, they muffle noise and block unsightly views.

They help conserve energy and water, prevent soil erosion, provide wildlife habitat and clean the air.

“For all trees do for us, this month we’re asking you to take 10 minutes to check yours,” said Megan Abraham, director of DNR Entomology & Plant Pathology.

The biggest tree threat in Indiana is the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), an invasive pest that attacks 12 types of trees. ALB can devastate a community’s trees, so the DNR urges landowners to examine trees now.

ALB’s preferred host tree is maple, so check those first.

Look for round exit holes, chew marks in bark, wood dust, dead branches, and tunneling in cut wood or fallen branches. Also look for adult beetles. The beetle is about 1 inch to 1.5 inches long, with six legs and a shiny, jet-black body with white spots and two long black-andwhite antennae.

Once a tree is infested, it must be removed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and

partners have cut down more than 178,000 infested trees in Massachusetts, Ohio and New York.

“Early detection is the key,” Abraham said.

One person can

make a big difference in the battle against ALB. In 2010 in Boston, a groundskeeper noticed an exit hole in a maple tree.

Fortunately, only six trees were infested

with ALB. Thanks to that one person’s report, Boston is now ALB-free.

This is a 1938 photograph of St. Peter’s Church in Urbana. In this photo, the bell tower had not been replaced and the Parish Hall had not been built. Photo provided years old (donors under the age of 17 may only donate whole blood, and must have a s i g n e d parental/guardian consent form). There is a minimum weight of 110 pounds. You must be five feet tall if you are a male and five feet six inches if you are female. You must pass a brief mini-physical and health history screening, be healthy, and have a picture ID. The Red Cross does not charge for the blood itself that people have so generously donated. Since 1960, the Red Cross does get reimbursed by hospitals for the costs associated with providing blood to hospital patients. The money they receive for blood is to help recover the costs associated with the recruitment and screening of potential donors, the collection of blood by trained staff, the processing and testing of each unit of blood in stateof-the-art laboratories,

and the labeling, storage and distribution of blood components.

Hospitals may have their own additional charges related to the administration of blood and pass these costs on to their patients. Think seriously about giving blood. It is a gift that only you can give.

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “Life and the sport of tennis share many common characteristics. Life and tennis are mental toughness tests. Can

you learn to be mentally tough? Yes, you can and should practice mental toughness just like you practice hitting inside out forehands. Have you ever heard the phrase: don’t change a winning game and change a losing one?

Well, there is truth in that but the psychology of tennis and life is this; the player with the winning score line tends to play at the same level, while the losing player realizes the end is near and tries harder, gets balls back he wasn’t before, all of a sudden things get tight for the winning player. If you have a lead you have to raise your level of play before your opponent does, because he will raise his level since he fears the end is near. I can go to any tennis match and tell you who the mentally tough player is, it’s not the one with the best forehands and backhands, it’s the one that lets the past bad shot go, walks with his head up and shoulders back, displays a positive attitude, focuses on his strings and is not looking around to see who is watching,

keeps his feet moving, never gives up on any ball till it bounces twice no matter how out of reach it is, shows respect for his opponent and accepts

the challenge and loves the challenge of competition no matter the outcome. If you tackle your daily routines with mental toughness, how much

better would life be?”

The problem all started with my buying a protection for my computer online.

Because a message came on my computer I had a virus. Then on Monday I was almost scammed by a group that stated I had a refund coming.

This is what happened: after talking to them and to be able to reserve the refund, they needed to be able to refund me the money. They needed a

debit card or online banking. Both of these I do not have, so person help me set up online banking. Then they transferred money into my checking account so I could get my refund back, then the person stated that they had transferred too much (which I could see).

DISTRICT 25 G BANNER NIGHT was Saturday, July 29, at M a n c h e s t e r University. PDG Lion David Eisen opened the meeting followed by Pledge of Allegiance, everyone singing the national anthem, led by Madyson Schmedt,

then DG Tom Polk welcome everyone to banner night and asked Lion Leroy Wise to give the prayer.

During the meal time Lions and guest enjoyed music by Madyson. Everyone enjoyed a very delicious meal and music.

After the meal PDG Charlie Haffner presented plaques to Clubs of the District who applied for the Excellent Club Award.

Dunlap Lions Club was named the top club, out of ten clubs that had applied. Loin Marie Butler-Knight told about all the steps her club went about putting a Little Free Library in their town.

Lion Linda Madden talked about important books are to help children learn. She told about a man who went through all grades of school and went on to college, then became a teacher. All the time he could not read and write. His wife did not even know and no one new until his daughter brought a book for him to read. He always made up stories when he read to her.

With he decided it was time to own up and he found a program where he could learn to read and write. He went on to write a book about his life.

Board delays action on 2 structures

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety delayed action on two properties deemed to be unsafe.

Homes owned by Donald and Peggy Farley, 319 Euclid St. and Jan Bailey, 20 W. Harrison Ave., were the subject of hearings when the board met on Aug. 3.

The Farleys’ home, according to Building Commissioner John Stephens, is in need of foundation repair. It also is a fire hazard and is unsafe for the couple to live in.

The couple told the board that they have

applied for funding under the Owner O c c u p i e d Rehabilitation project, part of the Stellar Community Grant program. If approved, they hope to use the money to make repairs on the home.

However, it was not yet known if the couple had been accepted into the program. If approved, the couple could receive a maximum of $25,000 to make repairs. The couple told the board it hopes to repair the roof, side the home, add gutters and work on plumbing, heating and flooring.

Stephens said the amount would be more than enough to make

the needed repairs, if they are approved.

The board delayed action on the matter for 30 days to wait and learn if the couple has been accepted into the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation.

Board member Todd Titus did ask the couple if they had made any other living arrangements, in case they were not accepted into the program.

When they said they had not, he strongly suggested the begin to do so.

Baily, by a 2-1 vote with Titus casting the lone dissenting vote, received 30 days to clear trash and vegetation surrounding the home. That will allow

Stephens access to the structure to determine what shape it is in.

He told the board he is unable to get close to the home because of the trees and brush surrounding it. He also said he is unable to see the roof because of vegetation.

He did say the structure was a fire hazard, caused blight in the neighborhood and was unfit for occupancy.

Baily told the board she hasn’t lived in the structure for several years, living instead in a camper on the property. She said her son told her not to enter the home, saying he wasn’t sure of the condition of the floor joists. The home, she

and attorney Mark Guenin added, that the home hasn’t had water service for several years.

They said she has contacted Indiana American Water to reconnect the water and that will be done.

Electrical service, she said, has never been off to the house.

“I’d really like to fix it up and stay there,” Baily told the board.

However, Titus, who worked for the city for 40 years, said that the city has fielded numerous complaints about the property over that time.

“I have no sympathy on this,” he said. “The city, the county and the state has spent a lot of money on the infrastructure in that area. Something needs to be done, and it

needs to be done now.”

The board also attempted to have a status update on a home at 1326 Adams St. owned by Justin Brooks. The site was the topic of an unsafe building hearing in April, at which time the board ordered it to be razed. Brooks later convinced the board to delay the order, saying he would work to repair the property.

Brooks was unable to attend Thursday’s meeting, Stephens said, because he fell off a ladder and broke both of his ankles.

The Adams Street property has not had the grass mowed in some time and work on a deck, for which the status update was to take place, has had little work done on it.

“Just enough to get

by,” Stephens told the board.

A home on East Main Street also owned by Brooks has not had the lawn mowed in some time.

Stephens said Brooks promised to have those situations resolved over the weekend.

Board member Todd Titus asked if the board so wished, could the Adams Street property be demolished.

The board ordered the property demolished at its April 20 meeting.

No determination has ever been made on the East Main Street site, Stephens said.

City Attorney Randi Zimmer man-Irg ang recommended the board reissue the demolition notice, which was unanimously approved.

Board awards contracts for house demolitions

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety awarded contracts to demolish two homes when it met on Thursday, Aug. 3.

The Brainard Excavating received the contract to raise the home at 138 Stitt St. It bid $8,000 for the project, the lowest of

three submitted bids.

Hank’s Construction bid $9,700, while Earthworks, Urbana, bid $10,900.

Earthworks won the contract for the home at 531 E. Hill St., submitting a bid of $5,150.

Brainard bid $6,900 for the site, while Hank’s bid $8,400.

In other matters, the board approved a consulting contract with DLZ Indiana not

to exceed $161,700 for work on the Alber Street project.

City Attorney Randi ZimmermanIrgang told the board that it was a standard contract for an Indiana Department of Transportation contract.

It also approved an encroachment agreement for Wabash Facility Co., for a sign at Vernon Manor, 1955 Vernon St.

Fate of Unger Mountain still undecided

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

It will be at least September before the owners of Unger Mountain will learn its fate.

The Wabash Plan Commission heard 90 minutes of discussion

ANGIE FERGUSON

Ferguson promoted at Betty Temple Inc

on the site, located in the Legacy Ridge subdivision of Wabash County. In the end, it tabled the matter to allow its attorney, Larry Thrush, and board members to review a wealth of information presented to it by both sides.

Unger Mountain is a 55-foot climbing wall built on land owned by Sean and Natalie Unger.

The commission is tasked with two things. The first is whether a piece of land the Ungers purchased was replatted properly, The other is a recommendation to the Wabash County Board of Zoning Appeals for a special exception to run a business at their property.

The couple purchased a portion of land in the subdivision from the Farlow family. One of the items in question is whether the sale violated a covenant in the subdivision prohibiting the sale.

-!

By The Paper staff Angie Ferguson is the new General Manager of Operations at Betty Temple Inc, a commercial cleaning company.

Ferguson is a graduate of Northfield High School, class of 1990. She has an associate’s degree in human resources.

She has been with the company for three years now beginning as a dedicated laborer and excelling quickly becoming a great asset to Betty Temple, Inc. She has been an integral part of our company, proving herself in a variety of areas.

Ferguson’s duties now include overseeing 20 employees, invoicing, and Public Relations. She will continue to provide honesty, ethics, and the quality of work that Betty Temple, Inc has built over the years, something we take very seriously!

Attorneys Mark Guenin and Doug Lehman, arguing for Unger Mountain, contend the sale is legal, citing a similar transaction among other property owners in the subdivision several years ago. The sale, Lehman said, “the particular piece of land that Sean and Natalie ended up buying had no real value to the subdivision because of its location, because of the topography, because of the location where the houses are in the subdivision are. It adds no real value in the subdivision.”

Guenin and Lehman also contend that a former subdivision resident, Michael Sposeep, ran a business from his home.

The first option, Lehman said, is to vacate the plat and replat it, cutting the plat in question and excepting it from all the covenant descriptions.

The second is to vacate the plat, and

1(

replatting it so it’s not part of the subdivision. But, imposing certain restrictions on the lot because of the concerns had in regard to it.

The third is to replat the site, making in a new plat in Legacy Ridge, but relieving the Ungers of some of the covenants but imposing other items in the covenant.

The fourth option would be to deny the replat.

Rejecting the plan, Lehman said, doesn’t mean the Ungers would have to reconvey the property to the Farlows, nor does it mean the wall would have to come down. That decision, he contends, is up to the BZA. Pat Hess, an attorney for Michael Wendt who is opposing the plan, said there was no agreement on behalf of his client to allow the wall. He called the whole situation a matter of putting the cart

“The issue we have to deal with is the plat of Legacy Ridge Estate,” he said.

When the plat was recorded in 1989, it was done so with a list of conditions, or property rights, that go along with the land.

“It says, ‘No lot shall be used except for residential purposes,’” he said, saying a climbing wall is not something for residential use.

He also said he doesn’t believe that Sposeep actually ran a business from his property.

“Suppose Mr. Sposeep’s business, all he generates is the power of his own thoughts as a consultant or a business person,” Hess said.

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

By The Paper staff Wabash Police Department officials would like to remind motorists that schools will be starting Aug. 9.

The officials asking that motorists to be cautious in traveling due to school children walking, riding bicycles, and waiting at bus stops.

Due to the construction on North Wabash Street, officials are asking motorists to pay close attention due to the alternative routes for O.J. Neighbours. There will be children at many different locations throughout the city. Be aware that children sometimes forget about motor vehicles and may dart into traffic.

The Wabash Police always urges caution when driving, but especially while the

children, parents, bus drivers, and motorists get accustomed to the new traffic routes. Be an alert driver and be prepared to stop for school buses loading and unloading.

Failure to stop for a school bus that has its lights activated and bus arm extended could result in a citation or even worse an injured child.

The department will be moving its speed trailer to different locations reminding motorists to slow down. Motorists will see a new addition to the school zones with the newly installed electronic solar powered speed signs.

These tools are another way to remind motorists of their speed and keeping children safe, Capt. Matt Benson, the department’s Public Information Officer, noted.

VIEWPOINT Why are gas prices so high?

Dear Editor: Good for Red Hapner; he writes about the high cost of gasoline in Wabash, compared to other cities in our area, which has gone on for a very long period of time. On Thursday, July 27, I was in Huntington and while there filled my auto’s gasoline tank. When I arrived, the station attendant commented that they had just lowered their price 4 cents, to $2.19 per gallon. I purchased 12.175 gallons of gasoline, and with my card savings, the gas cost $1.59 a gallon, or a total of $19.47. When I left Wabash earlier in the day, the price was mostly $2.33 per gallon.

When I returned, I found that instead of lowering prices, several outlets had actually increased their prices to $2.49.

Is Wabash always the highest? No, not always; but most of the time.

Mr. Hapner writes that the people he talks to all have the same question – are Wabash’s high prices a conspiracy?

Price fixing? Location? Or just greed?

The answers are probably all yes. A monopolistic situation can inspire all these activities, and possibly a few more.

A major, national oil company operates two wholly owned gasoline-mar-

keting brands across the country, as well as here in Wabash. They operate independently of each other, but both operate in many of the same locations.

Why operate two different brands in the same market?

There are 12 retail gasoline outlets in the Wabash area (Wabash, Lagro, Urbana). One of the brands has five dealer-operated stores; the other brand has one company-operated store.

While it appears that there are two competing brands, they are in fact owned by the same oil company and control 50 percent of our market. The profits from each location all flow to the same bottom line. According to local competitors, the company operat-

Farm Bureau District 4 meeting scheduled

By The Paper staff

Indiana Farm Bureau will have its District 4 2017 Fall Meeting at 10 a.m.

Sept. 11 in Converse.

Reports will be given by Steve Maples, Indiana FB’s District 4 director Drew Cleveland and Casie Conley, Indiana FB regional managers.

Speakers are: Deanna Young, president of Bucket Buddies Mission.

Janis Highley, grain

ed store in the undisputed priced setter and leader in the area.

Mr. Hapner remembers that there used to be gas wars in Wabash. That was many years ago. No more; there are just too few competitors left to be run out of business. And, those who remain, don’t fight the system. A gas war wouldn’t be worth the effort in a friendly non-competitive situation.

These same two brands are said to be big participants in gas wars throughout Indiana.

Local gasoline competitors lament the fact that out-of-town residents employed in Wabash rarely buy gas, or much else here in Wabash. Wabash residents working out of town frequently buy their gasoline and other goods where they are employed or on the way.

Wabash retailers, restaurants and other local businesses complain about this situation and their loss of potential business.

Let’s get to work Wabash and remedy this unfortunate situation. – Martin Duffey, Wabash

Dear Editor: Summer is here so please join us at the blood drive on Aug. 17 at the North Manchester Church of the Brethren, 1300 N. Beckley St., North Manchester.

The hours are from noon to 6 p.m.

Workshop to look at women farm owners

By The Paper staff PERU — More than one million women now operate American farms, as a growing number of women inherit, start or take charge of working farms every day. In the Midwest, women now own or co-own an estimated one-fourth to onehalf of all the farmland.

To reach the growing number of women landowners interested in farming practices that benefit the health of their land, Wabash & Miami County Soil & Water Conservation

Districts along with Women4theLand are hosting a free conservation discussion and field tour for women farmland owners on Aug. 29 at the Hettmansperger Farm 2979 South 800 West Peru.

This Women’s Conservation Learning Circle will bring together landowners in an informal learning format for a womenonly morning discussion followed by lunch and a tour to view on-farm practices that promote healthy soil. Female conservation professionals will be on

hand to answer questions and share resources. The key topic of discussion will be general soil health, management practices and government cost-share programs.

“Women farmland owners and operators may not be aware of all the programs and resources available to them,” says Jennifer Filipiak, associate Midwest director of American Farmland Trust. “Our goal is to connect the growing number of women landowners with each other and with the resource profes-

sionals who can help them with their stewardship goals.”

The meeting is presented in partnership with the Wabash and Miami County SWCD’s along with Wo m e n 4 t h e L a n d .

The learning circles method of conservation outreach to women farmland owners and the activities used were developed by Women, Food and Agriculture Network for its “Women Caring for the Land” program.

Coffee and registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the

meeting will begin at 9a.m. Lunch is provided, and the program will end at 3 p.m.

Interested women landowners must RSVP by Aug. 24 to the Wabash County SWCD by emailing Tashina.lahr manifold@in.nacdnet.net or calling 260-5637486, extension 3.

Those in need of accommodations, should notify organizers when sending in the RSVP. Those attending should feel free to bring a friend or family member; just indicate as such in the RSVP.

NM water and wastewater systems utility rate to increase

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

North Manchester residents and businesses will soon see a utility rate increase designed to ensure the sustainability of the town’s water and wastewater systems.

With no public comment before the agenda items, the North Manchester Town Council unanimously passed two new ordinances governing the town’s utility rates for the third and final time at the council’s Aug. 2 meeting.

The ordinances, General Ordinance No. 4, 2017 (Water) and General Ordinance No. 5 (Wastewater), were first read at the council’s June meeting, and public hearings on both ordinances were held at its July meeting.

Town Manager Adam Penrod previously explained that the increases are necessary not only to bring the two town departments back into the black financially, but also to fund much needed or statemandated repairs and improvements.

Both ordinances were read for the third and final time at Wednesday’s meeting, and passed unanimously with no further discussion or comment from the council.

Water rates will have a 33 percent increase, up to a minimum of $18.33 per month from the previous minimum rate of $13.74. This is the first water rate increase in the last nine years, and only the second in

the last 15 years.

Minimum wastewater rates will only rise nine percent, up

to $21.16 per month from the previous minimum of $19.41.

The increases go

WABASH 905 N. Cass St. 260-563-6333

into effect for the town’s next billing period, and will climb higher in the next few

years. The water rate will jump to $21.90 in January 2019, and again to $24.48 in

COLUMBIA CITY 119 Hoosier Drive 260-244-4111

January 2020.

Wastewater rates will also increase, going up to $22.91 in

January 2019 and to $24.65 in January 2020.

County planners take no action on WRT setback request

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash County Plan Commission has yet to consider a setback requirement for the Wabash River Trail.

Opponents to the trail asked the commission in July to consider such a requirement to protect those who do not want the trail cutting through their property.

However, Plan C o m m i s s i o n Director Mike Howard noted that he has been busy with other projects and has not yet had a chance to consider the request.

He did ask how a setback can be created on a continuous item, such as the trail?

In a related matter, Lagro ClerkTreasurer Kristie Bone presented the board a petition signed by 69 individuals in support of the trail, most of who, she said, live in Lagro.

It’s time, she said, for residents in favor of the trail to speak up.

“Change is inevitable,” she said.

“A lot of people don’t like change, but change is going to happen.”

Sherman Gray, whose parents William and Lena Gray are critics of the trail, urged the commission not to drag its feet on the matter of the trail and the setback.

The trail is dividing the community, he said, “Our family has lived (in Lagro) for over 70 years,” he said. “We’re not against change.

We’re not against the trail.

We’re not against economic development.

“But the problem is the lack of communication from the beginning when this all started.”

As far as the setback goes, “currently, we don’t have any record of where they want to put the trail,” he continued.

“They’re not going to go through our property. … But we have to come to some kind of agreement on this

trail and figure out what we’re going to do in the community and stop all this bickering and bull crap that’s going on back and forth that’s going on between the groups.

“That means everyone sitting in this room is going to have to start stepping up to the plate and doing a little bit more and a little bit quicker. We have people that are for it and we have people that are against it. It’s driving a lot of stakes in areas that it shouldn’t be driven. I don’t like seeing that.

“I’m asking you, and begging you, to start doing something a little quicker.

I don’t know if you’re ignoring it.

I’m not saying that you are. But whatever we have to do, ramp this up because it’s causing a lot of stress on a lot of people.”

The town has made tremendous strides in recent months, he said, noting the boat ramp revamped by the trail committee looks beautiful.

“But what good is it if no one can get along?” he asked, rhetorically.

“At some point, someone responsible for our county is going to have to step up and say, ‘There are the rules you’re going to have to play by,’ and I’ve not seen that.

And that is very, very frustrating.

“Let’s get something figured out.

Let’s get something done, so we can stop all this stress in our community.”

Lagro Town Council member Jim Curless also spoke on the situation, saying the board thought it was an excellent thing for the town to pursue.

Much of the criticism for the trail, he continued, comes from those who don’t live in the town.

“I don’t know how many people that’s come and complained and coerced people in this town against this thing,” he said. “They have no business to come to this town when they live way out west of town and

worry about things that haven’t even happened. This is Lagro, what we’re talking about. If they’ve got interest in Lagro, fine. If they don’t, then leave us alone.”

Curless also was critical of media coverage surrounding

the trail, the boat ramp and more.

Adam Stakeman, who said he has biked on various trails around the state, spoke in favor of the trail. He also claimed that the trails are extremely clean and safe.

Participants will travel aboard Trolley No. 85 to Hawkins Family Farm, a 99-acre organic farm located in North Manchester.

This includes a pri-

vate tour of Hawkins Family Farm lead by Jeff and Zach Hawkins, an exclusive dinner on the farm with a menu designed and prepared with local ingredients, and the option to purchase craft beer from the Chapman’s Brewery Cash Bar Station. Sales of the beer are cash only.

“We are very excited to offer a tour of this caliber since the farmto-fork trend is in high demand right now,”

said Jennifer LongDillon, tourism manager of Visit Wabash County. “We are fortunate to have Hawkins Family Farm and KenapocoMocha in our county and we are honored to highlight both of these industries during the tour.

Batzka to serve as FunFest grand marshal

By The Paper staff

NORTH MANCHESTER — The 2016 North Manchester Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year, Stephen A. Batzka, Manchester University professor emeritus of art , will serve as this year’s FunFest by the River grand marshal.

A Monticello native, Batzka began his association with North Manchester, as many people do, as a student at Manchester College, Sally Krouse said in

introducing him during the NM Chamber dinner earlier this year.

At MC, Batzka studied art under Max Allen and Jim Adams, graduating in 1962.

After some years teaching elementary school art and earning a Master’s Degree from Miami University, he returned in 1969 to join the art department faculty, where he taught for over 30 years.

As a professor, Batzka is remembered, not only for the quality

of his work teaching ceramics, enameling, fabric decoration, sketching and painting, among others, but for his devotion to his students.

He also is involved with the North Manchester Historical Society, for which he has twice served as president, written numerous articles, and given countless presentations.

Batzka spearheaded the preservation of the Thomas Marshall House, the crown jewel

of our historic heritage. Again, in this effort, he did not take only a supervisory role.

According to Historical Society records, he was in charge of scraping and painting the shutters, which are too delicate to withstand a power wash. He also looked for just the right period pieces to furnish this small house.”

He now serves as the primary docent when the home is open to the public.

By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — More than $12,000 may be up for grabs in this year’s FunFest 50/50 raffle.

In years past, the Chamber has raffled either a Corvette or Cub Cadet. This year, the Chamber chose to do a 50/50 cash raffle instead.

“The Chamber’s Raffle Committee has decided to conduct a 50/50 Cash raffle during 2017’s Fun Fest, instead of raffling a vehicle,” Scott Kaselonis, banking center manager at First Merchants and committee chair, said.

“The winner will be able to do whatever he or she would like with the cash… purchase something he/she wants or needs, save it

for that special something, or even pay off some bills if desired.”

M a n c h e s t e r University’s Adam Hohman, who is also part of the committee added, “The Chamber Committee’s goal is to sell all 6,000 tickets, resulting in the winner winning between $12,000. and $15,000.

The winning ticket will be drawn during intermission of the Zach Day Concert on Saturday evening.”

Three new signs made by Pete Snep have been set up around town so participants can watch the 50/50 pot grow. Tickets are currently available at the N.M. Chamber office located at 109 N. Market St., as well as from its Board of Directors and several Chamber

Member businesses.

The tickets are $5.00 each, or 5 for $20.00.

Tickets will also be available during 2017’s “Fun Fest by the River.” Participants do not need to be present to win, but must be at least 18 years old.

“Local businesses need to be able to provide community members with the support, products and services they need. Due to this, after covering the Chamber’s operating expenses, all funds raised in 2017 are targeted to enhance the business climate in North Manchester and its surrounding areas, resulting in a strong, healthy and prosperous business community,” North Manchester Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Debra Pyrah said.

Farm Bureau plans various activities at State Fair

By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Farm Bureau looks to educate thousands of fairgoers about Indiana agriculture in the Indiana Farm Bureau Building at the Indiana State Fair this year. Free events, activities and displays, giveaways and farmer testimonials are aimed at educating Hoosiers about their food, fuel and fiber and the farmers who grow, raise and process these commodities.

INFB will reach fairgoers through a collection of games and exhibits inside the Farm Bureau Building on the north end of the fairgrounds. The content covers many areas of agriculture including farm technology, household byproducts, food production and labeling, sustainability and economics.

“It is so crucial for those of us involved in agriculture to

Kokomo man faces charges for September fatal crash

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A Kokomo man is facing multiple charges in connection to a 2016 fatal single-vehicle crash that occurred on U.S. 24 near Stitt Street.

Dakota J. Jackson, 23, Kokomo, was booked into the Wabash County Jail on July 31 for charges including felony operating while intoxicated causing death, two counts misdemeanor operating while intoxicated, and felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury.

Charges were filed July 14.

According to a press release from the Indiana State Police: On Sept. 25, 2016, at approximately 2:10 a.m., officers from the Indiana State Police and the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department responded to a single vehicle crash on U.S 24 near Stitt Street, in which a Logansport man was killed.

The preliminary crash investigation by Trooper Jeremy Perez revealed that Dakota Jackson, 25, Kokomo, was driving a 2000 Buick Park Avenue westbound on U.S. 24, west of Stitt Street. Jackson lost control of the Buick and traveled across the grass median and the eastbound lanes of U.S. 24.

The car then rolled and slid across Old U.S. 24 before coming to rest, on its top, in a ditch where it caught fire.

Front seat passenger, Michael A. Grenier Jr., 23, Peru, was ejected from the vehicle.

Passerby Donald Collins stopped at the

scene and pulled the driver and two others from the vehicle with Grenier’s assistance.

According to the police report, Jackson was flown from the crash scene, by a medical helicopter, to a Fort Wayne hospital. He suffered DAKOTA J. numerous severe JACKSON injuries.

A medical helicopter flew Backseat passenger Derik R. Stearns, 26, Logansport, to a Fort Wayne hospital. Stearns later died from injuries sustained in the crash.

Brianna N. Thomas, 20, Peru, also a backseat passenger, was transported by ambulance to a Wabash hospital. She sustained a back injury. Grenier was transported by ambulance to a Wabash hospital. He sustained injuries to his hands and arms and was treated and released.

At the time of the initial report, Perez alleged that he believed the use of alcohol, excessive speed, distracted driving, and unsafe lane movement contributed to this crash.

On Wednesday, Aug. 2, Jackson entered a preliminary plea of not guilty. Trial dates were set for Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 at 9 a.m.

By The Paper staff Two people, including a Wabash man, were injured in a motorcycle crash on Wednesday, Aug. 2.

According to a press release provided by Wabash City Police Cpt. Matt Benson: At approximately 2:11 a.m. on Wednesday, Wabash City Police Sgt. Chad Galligan and Cpl. Josh Prater alleged they observed a motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed westbound on Pike Street.

Prater stated that he activated his red/blue emergency lights and sirens to attempt to catch up

to the motorcycle.

The officer alleged that the motorcycle continued westbound on Pike Street at a high rate of speed.

Prater stated that on Pike Street near the city limits, he observed the headlight of the motorcycle flash black at him. Galligan and Prater arrived near Pike Street and County Road 300 West to find that the motorcycle had left the roadway and crashed.

Wabash Police alleged that the driver of the motorcycle, Calvin A. Unger, 27, Wabash, was lying on the ground with the appearance of several injuries.

Officers also alleged that a female passenger, Kendia A. Siders, 40, Converse, was located lying on the ground.

The Wabash Fire Department was called to the scene and the male passenger was flown by helicopter to a Fort Wayne hospital. The female was transported by ambulance.

Wabash Police believe alcohol to have been a factor in the crash, according to the report.

Local departments to crack down on drunk driving

By The Paper staff The end of summer is nearing and is usually marked by the Labor Day Holiday.

The Wabash Police and Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department are once again joining forces with more than 200 Indiana law enforcement agencies and thousands nationwide for the National Highway Traffic S a f e t y Administration to increase patrols from Aug. 16, 2017, through Sept. 4, 2017.

This nationally known high-visibility campaign, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over is another effort to stop drunk drivers and save lives.

Wabash Police are reminding everyone of the dangers of driving impaired and it that it takes the lives of more than 10,000 people annually across the United States.

Sgt. Chad Galligan said, “plan a sober ride home before you leave for the party.”

Wabash City Police encourage everyone to plan ahead, have a safe holiday, and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

“If you drive impaired, our officers are trained to spot you and take you to jail. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over means zero tolerance,” Sheriff ’s Sgt. Dan Johnson said.

“These enforcement efforts save the lives of impaired drivers, their passengers and others out on the road.”

In every state and the District of Columbia, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. In Indiana, drivers under 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are subject to fines and a license suspension for up to 1 year.

A DUI arrest means going to jail and losing your driver’s license. The average DUI cost?

About $10,000, including car towing and repairs, attorney fees, fines, court costs, lost time

at work and other hefty expenses.

Indiana lawenforcement agencies have participated in the annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Overenforcement campaign for more than 20 years.

Overtime patrols are supported with federal highway safety funds administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. For more information, visit http://one.nhtsa.gov/ drivesober.

Tips for a safe and fun season The annual Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign includes the Labor Day weekend, with thousands upon thousands of Hoosier families taking to their cars for end-of-summer barbecues, football games, lakes and pool parties.

Sadly, it is also one of the deadliest times of year for impaireddriving deaths.

With all of today’s options for getting home safely, there’s no excuse for getting

behind the wheel impaired as it endangers you and everyone else around you. Law enforcement recommends these safe alternatives to impaired driving: • Designate, or be, a sober driver.

• Use public transportation.

• Call a cab or a ridesharing service.

• Download the SaferRide mobile app on the Android Play Store or the Apple iTunes Store. This simple app only has three options: call a taxi, call a friend, and identify your location for pickup.

• Celebrate at home or a place where you can stay until sober.

• Throwing a party?

Offer non-alcoholic beverages and plenty of food.

• Never provide alcohol to minors.

• Ask young drivers about their plans.

• Friend or family member about to drive? Take the keys and make alternate arrangements.

From the DNR

The DNR is again asking bowhunters to volunteer to count furbearer species and other wildlife this fall for science.

The information helps the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife monitor species and track population trends.

The collaborative project is called the Archer’s Index and has existed since 1992.

Volunteers receive a standard survey sheet and instructions to record hours hunted and count sightings October to late November.

“The data gathered

from bowhunters helps biologists see trends over time in furbearer populations,” said Geriann Albers, furbearer biologist for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. “Without volunteers, we couldn’t capture this amount of data throughout the state within a small timeframe.”

Species recorded include badger, beaver, bobcat, bobwhite quail, coyote, deer, fox and gray squirrels, gray and red fox, grouse, domestic cat, muskrat, opossum, rabbit, raccoon, river otter, skunk and wild turkey.

Previous surveys have shown downward trends in observations of red and grey fox and upward trends in bobcat sightings in the last 20 years. The data is useful for making

informed wildlife management decisions.

The DNR seeks volunteers throughout the state. To volunteer, email dfw@dnr.IN.gov or call 812-334-1137.

Wabash church hosts addiction support, recovery group Group meetings begin Thursday, Aug. 17

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The First United Methodist Church of Wabash will be hosting “A Better Life – Brianna’s Hope” every Thursday afternoon starting Aug. 17.

Focused on supporting and helping those battling addiction, the group’s approach is par ticipant-driven, faith-based and compassion-filled, according to John Cook, First

UMC pastor.

While the group will first officially meet on Aug. 17, it has been a goal of Cook and Rev. Kurt Freeman’s for many months.

“Rev. Kurt Freeman and I, we’ve had this dream where we start some type of service for people that are struggling with addiction, mainly alcohol and drugs,” Cook told The Paper of Wabash County, “(but) we didn’t know when we were going to start it, how we were going to start it.”

That’s when Cook and Freeman learned

about A Better Life – Brianna’s Hope, an organization started by Pastor Randy Davis, of Redkey, began in November 2014 following the death of Brianna DiBattiste.

“On June 16, 2014, Brianna DiBattiste of Dunkirk, Ind., was announced missing,” Cook said. “A 10-week span occurred where (authorizes and family members) were looking for her. Then on Sept. 1, her remains were found near a Jay County conservation club in an abandoned cemetery. Debris was

(laid) over her and so Randy Davis walked along side this family and grieving their loss of a daughter from an overdose.

“So that’s how Brianna’s Hope started. … So out of this, there were 18 chapters spanning 10 counties and I think we’re the 21st chapter now spanning 12 (counties).”

Prior to her death, DiBattiste wrote a “powerful” prayer, which the group uses each of its meeting in her memory and to pass on her hope, according to Cook.

“It’s unfortunate that she didn’t survive,” he said, “but because of her (hopes), she still is living by touching others’ lives.”

The prayer was written as follows: “Please, Lord, look after me and my family. Please help me to do the right thing and to show people that I am not a bad person inside or out and help

me, Lord, get through this disappointment again and I know I make mistakes, but who doesn’t. I don’t do it to do wrong. I do it (because) I feel I have no other choice. I want a better life, Lord, I do.

Please help me. Do to me as what you feel is best. I surrender to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

The group is not a Narcotics Anonymous or an Alcoholics Anonymous, he continued.

“This is another avenue of helping them get sober and stay sober and to live a better life,” he said.

“Everyone wants a better life and we just think this is God’s timing and we’re ready to do it.”

While it is hosted at First UMC, the group “is not preachers preaching,” Cook stressed.

“The preaching that we’re going to be doing is by our actions, by showing them that we

really care,” he explained.

“What this group is is compassion-filled. It is a place where they can come and not feel judged. We want them to know that they’re loved and cared for and that we care about them. We want them to have a better life and we want to provide an avenue for them to seek that better life.”

As a recovery group, the Wabash chapter of A Better Life – Brianna’s Hope aims to provide a chance to those struggling through their battle with addiction as well as needing support through recovery.

“This is about caring about people and loving them where they’re at,” Cook said.

“We’re going to have people come to these meeting that are still using, that are struggling and what we call ‘overcomers,’ people that have been clean for at least three years, and what we’re hoping

to do is help.”

Supporters of the individuals wishing to attend the group are also welcome, according to Cook.

“There’s an issue here in Wabash County and we want to help,” he said. “I encourage those wishing for a better life, to seek help and get clean to come to the meeting, to make that phone call.”

The Aug. 17 meeting will begin with a meal at 6 p.m. The support group will follow from 6:30-8 p.m.

The First United Methodist Church is located at 110 Cass St. in Wabash.

To find out more information or support the Wabash chapter of A Better Life – Brianna’s Hope, contact Cook at 260-5631406 or email pastorjohn1954@gmail.com.

Health screenings are intended to detect problems that may interfere with learning. Physical exams may indicate issues that can hamper progress or shed light on undiagnosed problems that may require further assessment and necessitate customized learning plans to help students succeed.

Physical exams are also a way to ensure students’ immunizations are up to date.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, physical exams typically are completed by students’ primary care providers. Some school districts offer free or low-cost health assessments through school providers as well.

Students who will

be traveling for school may be required to meet the health requirements of their destination country.

For example, medical students admitted to a Canadian university may be required to get a medical exam, according to the Government of Canada.

Visiting the doctor, nurse practitioner or a school-provided medical professional may not make school-aged children too happy. To make the process go smoothly, consider these suggestions.

• Work with physicians who have access to electronic health records. EHRs are secure technology that provides easy access to vaccination records, health history, appointment reminders, and even

School time requires having all of the necessary supplies, clothing and gear ready for the year. In addition, preparing for a new school year often involves providing updated physical health information to the school administration.

The requirements for health screenings and reporting may vary between school districts. Some physical examinations need to be conducted annually, while others may only need updating at certain intervals, such as when kids transition from elementary school to middle school or middle school to high school.

Updated physical forms also may be required at the start of a sports season.

prescription information. Some providers even make it possible for patients to directly access their health information through a secure login, helping save time.

• Make appointments during school hours.

After-school appointments are peak times for pediatric offices and medical clinics. Sign students out of school early to visit the doctor for medical exams.

The staff likely will be less harried, and you can spend more time asking questions and completing forms.

Schools may not count the absence if a doctor’s note is provided.

• Don’t forget the forms. Bring the right paperwork so that the staff can fill out what is necessary for the school, camp or sports league.

• Know your insurance guidelines.

Physical exams may be part of routine well visits. Insurance companies institute their own policies regarding how frequently physicals can be conducted (usually annually). Be sure to schedule the appointment accordingly.

Physical examinations are on many parents’ back-to-school todo lists. Certain strategies can make physicals easier for adults and children alike.

Golfers record holes in one

By The Paper staff

Two area golfers carded holes in one at the Honeywell Golf Course last week.

The first was a 7 iron shot from the tee by Ryan Denney on the third hole, some 189 yards from the hole.

Denney was playing with Niko Macaluso and Tyler Drook when he recorded his shot, his second hole in one in two years.

The second hole in one was recorded by Tim Kreider. This was his fifth hole in one and he accomplished his feat on the 15th hole at Honeywell Golf Course.

Kreider struck solid 7 iron from 153 yards to score his ace.

Reduce kids’ risk of getting colds at school

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

August 9, 2017

28 E. Hill St., Wabash

Appraisals & Real Estate School-aged kids who catch colds or the flu from their classmates can quickly spread those colds to their family members, who then might spread the colds further when they go to work.

Preventing the spread of colds and flu at school is a team effort that requires the assistance of not just parents, but also teachers and students. Still, parents might be the first line of defense when it comes to preventing the spread of cold and flu at school.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 38 million school days are lost to the flu each year.

Those lost days can affect students who miss lesson plans, but also affect parents, who often must take days off from work to tend to their sick children.

While there’s no way for parents to guarantee their children won’t catch a cold or the flu this school year, they can take various preventive measures to increase kids’ chances of staying healthy and achieving perfect attendance.

• Make sure kids are immunized and that their immunizations are current.

Vaccinations bolster kids immune systems. That’s important, as kids’ immune systems are naturally less mature than adults’, making them more vulnerable to germs and viruses.

The CDC recommends that adults and children receive their flu vaccinations in October while noting that such vaccinations can be administered as late as January and still prove effective. The CDC also recommends that adults and children receive flu vaccinations each year. Additional vaccinations may not need to be administered as often, but parents should still ensure kids’ are upto-date with their shots.

• Make sure kids regularly wash their hands. Kids often catch colds by rubbing their hands that have been exposed to cold virus germs on

their noses or eyes.

To prevent that, parents can teach kids to wash to their hands thoroughly, including scrubbing the backs of their hands, between their fingers and around their fingernails. Kids should know to wash their hands regularly, but especially after they use the bathroom and before they eat, drink or touch their mouths, noses or eyes.

• Keep kids home when they are sick.

Parents don’t want their children to miss school, but kids who are suffering from colds or flu should be kept home. This prevents the spread of colds and flu to classmates and teachers, and time to rest at home may help youngsters recover more quickly.

• Teach kids to avoid common germ spots. Germs can be lurking anywhere, but some spots seem to make more welcome homes for germs than others.

Studies have shown that kids were most likely to encounter germs in schools on water fountain spigots and on plastic cafeteria trays. Teach kids to never put their mouths on fountains and to

avoid eating any food that might fall onto their trays in the cafeteria.

School-aged children are susceptible to colds and flu when spending time in the classroom. But parents can reduce their

Fish of the Year, Record Fish applications accepted online From the DNR

1.Offer includes price reduction below MSRP and Cash Allowance. Not available with special finance, lease or other offers. Take delivery by 8/14/17. See participating dealer for details. 2.Monthly payment is $13.89 for every $1,000 you finance. Example down payment is 4.2%. Must finance with GM Financial. Some customers will not qualify. Not available with lease and some other offers. Take delivery by 8/14/17. See dealer for details.

Anglers reel in a large fish can now submit their Fish of The Year and Record Fish entries to the DNR online.

A new online form allows anglers to fill out data quickly and email a photo and other documentation. It is at wildlife.IN.gov/9453.ht m.

“It allows anglers to enter right from the field from any internet connected device,” said

Michelle Cain, wildlife information specialist with the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife.

“We’re hoping that by making the process simpler we will get more entries this year.”

Indiana tracks big fish two ways. The State Record Fish program documents the largest fish by species ever caught in Indiana.
