Mayoral debate set for Oct. 7 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Paper of Wabash County and the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce will once again sponsor a mayoral debate. The three candidates – Democrat Margaret “Boo” Salb, Republican Scott Long

and Independent Wade Weaver – have agreed to participate in the event, scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, at the Historic Eagles Theatre. The public is invited to watch the debate in person. Doors are expected to open at 6:30 p.m. For those who can’t attend in person, The Paper’s

WebTV will again air the debate live. The debate also will be available for viewing in the WebTV archive through the remaining days until the Nov. 3 Municipal Election. The Paper and the Chamber teamed up in April to bring a mayoral debate prior to the Primary Election.

“As the leading source for news and information in Wabash and Wabash County, we felt it was important to once again help sponsor the mayoral debate,” said Mike Rees, General Manager of The Paper of Wabash County. “Doing so will allow Wabash residents a chance to hear for themselves what (continued on page 4)

NORTH MANCHESTER – The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) office, here at 603 N. Bond St., will not close this fall after all. Rather, it will remain open for at least one more year. WIC serves to safeguard the health of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5, who are at nutritional risk, by providing nutritious supplemental foods and health care referrals, as well as information on healthy eating, including breastfeeding promotion and support, at no charge to participants. The North Manchester WIC location, which operates under the authority of the Area Five Agency on Aging and Community Services, is one of two locations in Wabash County. On average, the two clinics combine to serve approximately 800 clients per month, which made Wabash County one of the few remaining counties in the state operating two clinics with a total caseload of less than 1,000. In June, the approximately 190 clients served monthly at the North Manchester clinic were informed that by late September or early October

Palascak makes finals of “Last Comic Standing” By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com On Wednesday Sept. 2, Wabash native Michael Palascak reached the final five on the NBC reality show “Last Comic Standing.” During the semi-finals broadcast, Palascak went head-to-head against California comedian Taylor Tomlinson. “Tonight, I’m going to bring out my best jokes which also are my favorite jokes,” Palascak said on the show prior his routine. “Hopefully, people laugh.” His standup included jokes about his experience on the Wabash High School football team and growing up in a Catholic home. Following their performances, the pair was immediately

critiqued with one selected for the final five by the panel of judges, which included comedians Norm Macdonald, Roaseann Barr and Keenen Ivory Wayans. Macdonald and Wayans voted Palascak into the finals, both agreeing that his 11 years of experience “gave the edge” against Tomlinson’s five years. Palascak, who was raised in Wabash, told The Paper of Wabash County in a phone interview following the semifinals that it feels so good to enter the final round. “It feels so good to be on the show, first off, just at all,” Palascak said. “It such a great opportunity to get people to see me. I mean I grew up in Wabash, just a small town where I had no idea that any of this would happen so to be in (continued on page 12)

NORTH MANCHESTER — Back by popular demand, Camp Peabody’s USO Show will be returning to Peabody Retirement Community for its second year on Saturday, Sept. 12, “bringing back” big band music from the World War II era, according to Peabody officials. In 1945, WWII came to a close on Sept. 2. This past Wednesday marked the date’s 70th anniversary. Peabody’s first USO Show honored the war and its veterans, according to Cleo Hippensteel. “We just feel that (the show’s) so special and I feel that it’s also a credit to all the veterans,” she told The Paper of Wabash County in an interview. “I feel like we’re kind of honoring them too and they do at that program or they did last year and I think they will this year. They had our veterans here and interviewed some of them and talked to them. It was very nice.” Resident and music lover Jean Hatch said she was thrilled when she heard the show was coming back. “Well, shortly after we had the last show, Stan (Williams, Peabody Home Foundation director of development) said we may make this a yearly thing and I thought, ‘How wonderful’

A.V. “Bart” Corricelli danced with his wife, Phyllis, with the assistance of a nurse at the 2014 Camp Peabody’s USO Show. According to Peabody residents Cleo Hippensteel and Jean Hatch, the couple loved to dance in their younger years, but as they aged, Mrs. Corricelli became wheelchair bound. Nevertheless, the couple still made an effort to dance at the show. Photo provided

because I’ve always been in love with the big band sound,” Hatch said. “And last year when the band first started up and they played that theme song of Glenn Miller, the tears just rolled because it just brought back so many memories.” (continued on page 13)

CEO Patrick Tamm told The Paper of Wabash County. “But then also (Wednesday) we’re having a great number of people having meetings at the Charley Creek Inn.” Last year the retreat took place in Fort Wayne. French Lick, Michigan City and other sites around the state also have hosted the event. “It’s a way for us to kind of get focused,” Tamm said. “But at the same time, we can enjoy parts of Indiana that a lot of people just don’t have the time or never have the opportunity to enjoy.” The Charley Creek Inn was one of the highlights of the visit. “I can tell you right now people are totally blown away by the quality of the Charley Creek Inn,” Tamm said. “At the same time, the shops and so forth. We also like to see the chefs and learn what some other restaurants are doing. “You have some folks in the room who have just opened five new restaurants in the last six months. (There’s also another person who) just signed a deal to open a new restaurant in Florida today. We have a cross-section of restaurateurs and some hotel owners as well.” Tenille Zartmen from Charley Creek Inn secured the group’s meeting to take place in Wabash and she worked closely with Visit Wabash County’s Tourism (continued on page 3)

Fall clean up to begin Sept. 14 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The City of Wabash will conduct fall clean up from Sept. 14-18, City Street Superintendent Scott R i c h a r d s o n announced. As usual, pick-up will be divided into four sections, following the same route as weekly trash. Items for pick-up need to be in place by 7 a.m. on the day of pick-up or the items will not be picked up. Piles of items for pick-up can be no

larger than 4-feet by 8feet. Also, items for pick-up have to be separate from brush piles. Brush will not be picked up the week of fall cleanup. Items that will not be picked up are: batteries, paint, petroleum products, household chemicals, tires, appliances with Freon (appliances with red tags to denote Freon that was professionally removed, will be accepted), shingles, drywall and plaster, televisions, computers and other electronic devices.

will be asked to provide proof of residence in the City.” The change in dumpster location – in the past it has been located at the city’s W a s t e w a t e r Treatment Plant — was made to help residents who also have items to be taken to the Solid Waste Management District for disposal. Residents can take chemicals, tires, appliances, batteries, paint, petroleum products, televisions, computers, and all other electronic devices, to the district office, Richardson

As in past years, the city will have a dumpster available for residents to take items. “If residents miss their pick-up time, they have the option of taking it to a cityprovided dumpster at the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District, 1101 Manchester Avenue, or taking it back inside,” Richardson said. “The dumpster will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Berry Street home ordered demolished By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A home at 52 Berry St. was ordered demolished by the Wabash Board of Works & Public Safety. The home’s owners, Rick and Barbara Nelson, were ordered to have the home down within the next 30 days. If it isn’t torn down, the city will put into motion actions to tear it

down. B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens said he has inspected the building several times, most recently on the morning of the unsafe building hearing, Sept. 2. “The foundation is almost gone, or failing,” he said. “An animal or kids or anything can get underneath the house. There are windows broken out. The roof is collapsing.”

City Attorney Doug Lehman presented the board photos of the property, which Stephens testified

were taken in March 2015. The home, he said, looks worse now than in the photos. The home, he testi-

fied, looks vacant and has become dilapidated because of lack of care by the owners. While it isn’t a fire

hazard, he continued, it is causing property values to decrease and is dangerous to public health.

Mayoral hopeful tabs police chief By The Paper staff Independent mayoral candidate Wade Weaver announced last week he will name Matt Rebholz the Wabash Police chief, should he be elected in the Nov. 3 Municipal Election. Rebholz, a captain with the department, has served on the Wabash Drug Task Force for the last 11

years. Weaver said that he is making the announcement now so as to let people know how serious he is about cracking down on drug dealers in the community. “I can’t go anywhere without someone saying to me that jobs and drugs are the two most important issues,” Weaver told MiBash News. Weaver’s plans on

dealing with the drug problem in Wabash include stressing the better cooperation of the Drug Task Force and patrol officers and the creation of a drug offenders data base so that local landlords can access the information. Rebholz has been with the Wabash City Police Department since 1989. In 2004, he transferred to the

Wabash Drug Task Force, where he took command of that division five years later. He has also worked in undercover capacities during drug cases, as well as with local, state, and federal agencies with drug investigations. A 1983 Graduate Southwood High School, Rebholz spent six years in the United States Army. He gradu-

ated from the United States Army Ranger School and served in the 82nd Airborne Division. In his military service, Rebholz received Airborne wings from two countries including Britain and the United States Army. Weaver faces Republican Scott Long and Democrat Margaret “Boo” Salb in the mayoral race.

Candidates will be given time to make opening statements, after which they will receive a set amount of time to answer questions prepared

by The Paper staff or submitted by the public. After a series of questions – the debate is expected to last between 60 and 90 minutes – the can-

didates will then have a chance to make a closing statement. Information on how the public can submit questions for

consideration is available on The Paper of Wabash County’s Facebook page and on its webpage, www.thepaperofwabash.com.

NM WIC office to remain open... continued from the front page they would need to travel to the Wabash location, 1149 N. Cass St., to continue receiving assistance. State WIC Director Sarah Renner explained that the decision was the result of reevaluating caseload and staffing

needs in counties operating multiple clinics. She went on to say that Wabash, as well as other counties with average caseloads under 1,000 clients, would consolidate in order to operate more efficiently. Following the announcement, a grass-roots movement ensued to try to save the office.

Linda Mackey, Area Five WIC Program Coordinator for Wabash and Miami counties, stated that, while she was hopeful something would change, she honestly didn’t anticipate it happening. The news drew praise from locals. “The North Manchester WIC office is not going to

close this fall after all,” said Debbie Chinworth. “We have recently learned that the decision was made to keep it open for another year. Now, we have to make sure our clientele increases in number so that this issue doesn’t arise again.” Linda Mackey added, “The Town of North Manchester

was successful in keeping the WIC office open – congratulations to the Town of North Manchester and its residents. Now, we need everyone to participate that is eligible, because we have plenty of openings. The program is funded by the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) and goes by the same guidelines as the school lunch program.

North Manchester moving forward with land purchase By Shaun Tilghman news@thepaperofwabash.com It was standing room only during Wednesday’s public hearing at the North Manchester Public Safety Complex, as the Town’s Redevelopment Commission (RDC) received input from residents regarding the proposed purchase of 92 acres, located north of 9th Street from the railroad tracks west to SR 13, for a potential housing development. The RDC and the Town Council both approved resolutions giving the green light to the project. For more than 25 years, various discussions have been held throughout North Manchester about the need for a housing development, according to a recent news release issued by Town officials. The main reasons nothing has been able to be accomplished thus far are identified as the unavailability of land in a large enough quantity, and the lack of interest from developers unless land became available. Project Background During the public hearing, Town Council President Chris Garber pointed out that the Town Forum determined housing was an issue more than 20 years ago. Approximately 10-12 years ago, the Town Forum even established a Housing Committee. “When we tried to talk to developers, fairly consistently we found that they wouldn’t deal with us because they could go to Fort Wayne, buy their land there, and

quickly sell 100 lots,” said Garber, “whereas, we’re hoping to sell 10 lots at a time. So, we were not a big economic advantage for them; however, we did receive the advice that we should partner with a developer in some way. “The easiest, or most practical, way for us to do that – and not be the developer ourselves – is to purchase the land, which is exactly what we’re proposing to do tonight. We worked very hard looking for acreage over the last few years, and there have been very few options, and even for those there was the need to extend water, sewer, and all the things that will make it easy to start putting a shovel in the ground.” In the spring, town officials learned that Peabody Retirement Community was planning to auction the land, but the town would have had a difficult time trying to acquire the land that way. Eventually, Peabody agreed to just sell the land to the town, so they had two appraisals done and averaged the results to set the purchase price. Housing vs. Jobs Susan Egolf, of 1604 Frantz Drive, was the first to speak during the public hearing. “I’m concerned, because I don’t know that we need housing,” Egolf said. “We need

jobs to bring the people in to buy what houses we have here. I don’t think that we need the Town to be a broker – if a developer wants to come put houses in there then let them use their money.” Toby Tobias, of 606 N. Walnut Street, also provided input regarding whether the town should be pursuing more housing or more jobs. “I was elected in the Primary to be the District 5 Town C o u n c i l Re presentative,” Tobias explained, “and what people have been coming to me with is exactly what’s already been talked about – the need for jobs. I agree entirely, but I’ve contacted as many people as I can that hold either ownership or management positions in large companies, and every one of them said they wouldn’t even look at a town unless there’s newer, abundant housing. “So, I feel that residential grows commercial, commercial grows industrial, and industrial feeds residential, and we’ve got to get something going somewhere in that loop. We need to grow, and until someone comes up with something better, I think this is the best option for the Town going forward.” New Housing Stock In a recent interview,

Garber told the North Manchester NewsJournal that these would not be lowincome building lots, and stressed that they would be looking at $150,000-$200,000 homes. Todd Richards, of 101 E. 9th Street, stated that, when his aunt and uncle died, he and his sister became the owners of what was left of Riverdale, which was the Town’s last housing development. “One of the things we discovered, was that there was a need for better housing,” he added. “We developed Riverdale in three sections,” Richards continued, “and for the last section we increased the square footage requirement to get bigger, nicer

homes. We ended up selling those lots in half the time that we did the others. “Hopefully we can bring industry in, and if we can, then executives will be looking at places to live, and they’ll probably want nicer homes than what we have on our market. So, I think it’s a great idea, especially knowing that we don’t have to do it all at one time.” Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, explained that the lack of executive-style housing is a definite problem not only in North Manchester, but across Wabash County. “You’re planning for the long-term future of the community to be able to plan for execu-

tive-style housing and those types of things,” Gillenwater said. “The last big executive-style housing development that had any lots available was at the Honeywell Golf Course, but that’s basically down to a couple

of lots. So, there’s a need for it, and there’s a lack of it. This is a tried and true economic development strategy that other communities are also pursuing. “I would also say (continued on page 6)

Manchester. My wife works here in North Manchester and it made more sense for us to be up here, but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. “The kinds of houses that you’re proposing to build is what I was looking for – a house in the $150,000-$200,000 range rather than a $100,000 house that I had to put $75,000 worth of improvements into to make it worth $150,000. I don’t have the time to do those kinds of projects, so that’s just not what I was looking for. I think it’s a great thing that you’re looking at, and I would certainly encourage you to do it.” The Resolutions Following the hearing, Clerk-Treasurer Carrie Mugford to read RDC Resolution No. 4, 2015, which is a resolution of the North M a n c h e s t e r Redevelopment Commission confirming their Declaratory Resolution establishing Economic Development Area No. 2 in the Town of North Manchester. Members of the RDC voted unanimously in favor of the resolution, which also involves the sale of bonds in order to purchase the land.

When the Town Council convened, Mugford read the resolution about the Town Council’s interest in acquiring real estate for future economic development and redevelopment in the town through the Redevelopment Commission. The resolution went on to acknowledge that the RDC had adopted a bond resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds, and that a form of purchase agreement for the real estate had been prepared. Under the resolution, Town Manager Dave Schoeff will act as the purchasing agent for the town and the RDC.

The purchase of the land is approved, and officers of the Town and the RDC are authorized to take such actions as are necessary to complete the purchase, including execution of the purchase agreement. Purchase Agreement The final aspect of the project to be addressed on Wednesday evening was the purchase agreement between Peabody and the town, with the entire purchase price set at $544,500. According to the agreement, the purchase is conditioned on the town’s ability to complete the sale of the municipal bonds in

the amount of the purchase price. The closing for the transaction is contracted to take place on or before Dec. 31, 2015. Included in the purchase agreement is one restriction on use, which states that the town and the town’s successors in interest agree that, for a period of 50 years from the closing of the purchase, the land cannot be used for the construction or occupancy of an assisted living facility, skilled nursing facility, memory care facility, or any elderly housing that would provide any of the material services provided by Peabody or Peabody’s successor in interest.

died because of spousal abuse,” she said. “I couldn’t help her. I tried but I couldn’t. And I wanted to help others. I just prayed about it, and all this fell into place.” It was while working in Delaware County that Chambers adopted the moniker that most know her by, “Mo.” “When I worked on the hotline, you couldn’t use your regular name,” she said. “’Mo’ was my ‘a.k.a’ name at the hotline. You can’t use your real name because you have to protect your family.”

She has worked with most of the attorneys around Wabash County, and they all have the utmost respect for what she does for her clients. “Helen has always place the needs of those she helps above her own needs, spending countless hours listening, supporting and teaching victims how to stand up for themselves,” North Manchester attorney Elden Stoops told The Paper of Wabash County. “Helen does her best to help each victim understand that being a victim is something that is not deserved and doesn’t have to be tolerated. She always goes the extra mile to sit through so many court hearings to be sure that each of her charges understand

Victim’s advocate

Chambers’ clients come from a variety of places. Law enforcement may refer them to her. Or hospital personnel may tell people about her. Then there’s referrals from the Department of Children Services and, she also gets referrals from attorneys. Each case varies, she said, as what she can and can’t do for the client. “The bottom line is I’ll always be there for them,” Chambers said. She is there more for moral support and to make sure the victim’s rights are met. “We get together and we’ll do a lot of paperwork on the protective orders,” she said, explaining that protective orders are issued for civil cases, while no-contact orders are for criminal cases. She also serves as a liaison, of sorts, between the client and the prosecutor’s office. “We will get letters from the prosecutor’s office telling them about the case, and they will write impact letters,” Chambers said. “A lot of times they come to me and I’ll help them write the impact letter. Or, if there’s something they don’t understand, we’ll make an appointment and go in and talk to the prosecutor. It makes the clients feel a lot better.”

Rotary’s United Fund golf outing is Sept. 16 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Rotary Club’s 24th annual United Fund kick-off golf outing will take place Sept. 16 at the Honeywell Golf Course. The outing will begin with lunch at noon hosted by Miller’s Merry Manor, followed by a shotgun start at 1 p.m. This year’s hole-inone sponsors are Dorais Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Brandt’s HarleyDavidson with insurance coverage provided by INGUARD. Brandt’s is offering a 2015 1200 Custom Sportster, while Dorais is offering a 2016 Chevy Cruze. “We are very excited to present the Rotary Golf Outing once again this year. It is a wonderful event that begins our campaign season with a big splash,” UF Executive Director Steve Johnson said in a news release. “The outing serves as a catalyst for the rest of the campaign. Residents and businesses see what Wabash Rotary has done through the golf outing and often want to do their part as well”. Many individuals, groups and organizations in Wabash County work to improve the quality of life for all. The Wabash Rotary Golf Outing illustrates what it means to “improve lives through a united community,” Johnson said. Together, the individuals and businesses participating in the outing will generate funds in support of local social service organizations. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the United Fund, which in turn will be invested back into the community through financial support to local nonprofit agency programs. “These agency programs improve the health and wellness, educational achievement, financial sta-

allows me to continue to support the United Fund through the Wabash Rotary Club. Other Rotary members join me in planning and supporting the event, we have a great afternoon of golf, and we give back to the community. That’s what it’s all about”. Wabash County United Fund Board President Nate Fansher appreciates the Rotary Club’s efforts. “Thank you, Wabash Rotary Club and all of the sponsors and golfers for supporting the United Fund,” he said. “Your dedication to sustaining this annual event always creates a great beginning to

David Dorais, a former member of the United Fund board of directors and campaign chair, has a special passion for the annual golf outing and has been involved with 23 of the 24 events. “I think Dave Mann actually did one, and then we rolled over,” Dorais said. “I missed the first one, but I’ve been chairing it ever since.” He said he believes the golfers, as well as the various United Fund agencies, have a good time at the outing. “I think it’s a good day,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “There are events out there. There are events at every hole. We try to make it very interesting. “We have closest to the pin, we have longest drive, there’s an event at every hole, which makes our outing a little

different to the others.” Johnson noted that there will be a United Fund agency at every hole. “There’s an agency table at each tee box, so that gives all of our supported agencies for next year … a little bit of chance to interact and give a little bit of information.” Dorais said it “gives the community that comes out to this outing a chance to meet the agencies and learn what United Fund is all about. Mark Shanks, marketing manager and events coordinator at Brandt’s HarleyDavidson, said the company is more than willing to help the community however it can. “It’s all about supporting the community locally,” he said. “Brandt’s is very involved with many different charities, organizations and rides. And, of course, we do the free concerts out here a couple times a

Titus to retire as park superintendent Longtime city employee to become county’s weights & measures inspector By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com After 37 years as Wabash Park Department superintendent, Todd Titus is retiring at the end of this year. However, his retirement doesn’t mean an end to his public service. Rather, Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners appointed Titus on Aug. 31 to serve as the county’s weights and measures inspector. “I’ve been contemplating retirement for probably the last year or so,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “I think my age and years of service makes that a real-

istic option. I think the missing piece was what would I do if I retired? “I don’t need that much playtime. When this position became available, it just seemed like something I might be interested in.” In his new post, Titus will inspect and certify gas pumps and commercial scales around Wabash County. “Any business that has a commercial scale, such as grocery stores, hardware stores, elevators, gravel pits, scrap yards” will be inspected. As a Purdue University undergraduate, Titus interned at the former Honeywell Gardens during the summer. “When I graduated from Purdue, I actual-

ly went to work for the H o n e y w e l l Foundation, who ran the Gardens,” he said, serving as assistant superintendent. “We relied very heavily on seasonal help there, just as we do at the park.” When the city’s park superintendent at the time resigned his post to return to school to work on a master’s degree, Titus became park superintendent. He has served under six mayors, beginning with Mike Davis. He also served in the administrations of George Dingledy, Dallas Winchester, Robert McCallen, Arvin Copeland and Robert Vanlandingham. In the meantime, he’s going to be completing his duties with the city while learning his new posi-

tion with the county. He also has to be certified by the state before assuming the new post. “I’m going to start taking some vacation time,” Titus said. “And Joe Vogel, the current inspector, I’m going to be working with him a little bit, moving into that position while moving out of this one.” The inspector’s post is a part-time position. “You work on your own, unsupervised, so you pretty much set your own hours,” Titus said. “Obviously, you have places you have to visit.” The inspections are done annually, he said, but there are more than enough things to keep him

VIEWPOINT

Publishing budget notices City’s smoking ban should be park-wide

F o r decades, your local government units have published proposed budgets and notice of the hearing where you have the opportunity to question or offer your opinion concerning the planned collection of tax dollars, expenditure of those funds and estimated impact on your property tax rate. State law required the publication of this important information as a paid public notice advertisement. Paid notices give the government unit control over what is printed and prevent the newspaper from adding any editorial spin on the text or delete any of the budget information. To collect the fee, the newspaper has incentive to make sure the notice is published errorfree and on the designated date to give you time to make arrangements so you can attend a budget hearing if you so choose. That all changed with passage of H.E.A. 1266, authored by Rep. Dan Leonard, R-Huntington, in the 2014 legislative session. Suggested by the state Department of Local Government Finance, the act eliminates the publication requirement that placed that budget information into the hands 3.8 million Indiana newspaper readers (based on a 2014 American Opinion Research survey of Hoosiers’ attitudes on public notice advertising). The budgets are now posted on the DLGF website, a website that contains a wealth of information, but has a fraction of the reach of newspapers, including the one you are now reading. In fact, only 4,633 unique visitors clicked onto the portion of the DLGF website where local government budgets are posted during the last six months of 2014. Paid published notice of the date and time the various local government

editions. Stop to think how many local government units there are in the county. Critics will say we are only interested in the revenue. The average cost of the notice of budget hearings across the state was $167, according to Legislative Services Agency, the staff for the General Assembly. We obviously value all advertising revenue, but the loss of this revenue will not close our doors, but the end of the published notice will lessen your ability to hold government officials accountable. We believe the legislature erred in moving the budget information out of newspapers and your hands, unintentionally hiding the information in plain sight on a state agency website that few people will ever find. The legislative rationale confuses the concept of available to the public with public notice. Putting something on the Internet makes it available to the public, but hardly means the public will see it. The publication of public notices puts the information in Hoosier hands without the need for any to take a second step and track down additional information on a government website. When Hoosiers were asked about the impact of moving public notices from newspapers to the Internet, 46 percent said they would read public notices less often or much less often (based on the American Opinion Research survey). Only 15 percent said they would read them more often or much more often if moved to the Internet. We thought you should know why you may be surprised to discover after the fact when local government agencies approve budgets with expenditures or tax increases that trouble you.

OUR VIEW unit governing bodies will allow you to speak out on their budgets is no longer required of these units. They now are only required to post the notice at their office location and inform media outlets, such as this newspaper of meeting times so that editors can determine whether they have a reporter available to cover the public meeting. In killing an attempt during the 2015 legislative session to restore requirement to publish the notice of budget hearing, House Ways and Means chairman Rep. Tim Brown, RCrawfordsville, took the position that if newspapers believe the information is important, they should publish it for free. That’s not a fair or practical position. Space in any newspaper is a limited quantity and paid notices guarantee placement of information in this newspaper. Newspaper provide a service by connecting the government message to a maximum number of Hoosier in the most economical fashion. No one would seriously argue that other service providers or vendors to state and local government should be expected to provide their services or good for free. Should the local car dealership be expected to provide police cruisers to the sheriff ’s department for free? How about gravel and asphalt needed to maintain county roads? Should the local Office Depot donate paper and other office supplies? The answer is no and newspapers can’t afford to give away advertising space. This newspaper will report on news affecting its readers, but we can’t guarantee we can attend every meeting of every government unit during the year and devote 10 to 20 inches of space for each of those meetings in our

Dear Editor: I want to applaud the Wabash City Council for presenting a first reading to adopt an ordinance to make the Wabash City Park play areas smoke free. I believe this is a first major step to promote better health in our community and protect our children. However, as indicated at the Council meeting, there is the need to extend the policy to the whole park. I agree and encourage the pursuit of the smoke/tobacco free expansion to all city park properties. As a Stellar Community, we need to do all we can to set a positive example as being clean and conscientious about everyone’s’ health in Wabash. As you know, the use of tobacco is the number one cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. Exposing the public to any form of tobacco smoke can trigger any person that has asthma to have an attack and contribute to acquiring any of the tobacco related diseases. Children exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to suffer from colds, ear infections, bronchitis and pneumonia. There are approximately 1,400 deaths a year in

Indiana that are contributed to secondhand smoke exposure. Limiting exposure to secondhand smoke in areas of public access and recreation improves the quality of the air we share. Preventing tobacco use is the most important public health action that we can take to improve the health of people right here in Wabash. Each day children in Wabash will visit our parks to use the playground equipment, play team sports, swim, or just be outside with their friends and family. It is important that we protect them all wherever they go in the parks. Another issue to consider is that many cigarette butts end up on the ground. Cigarette filters are not biodegradable as many people presume. Ninety-five percent of filters are made of plastic cellulose acetate and take many years to decompose. To make matters worse, there are approximately 600 ingredients in cigarettes which, when burned, create more than 7,000 chemicals. Young children may pick up the butts and put them in their mouth, possibly choking or burning themselves. The harmful chemi-

cals and nicotine in discarded cigarettes can be toxic and even fatal to a small child. Even the wildlife and pets are endangered. Birds and other small animals may ingest cigarette butts thinking they are food, which can lead to starvation or malnutrition if the butts block the intestinal tract, and prevent digestion or accumulate in the digestive tract, making the animal feel full and lessening its desire to feed. Along with the ill health effects that could be caused by cigarette butts there is the maintenance cost for cleanup and clogging caused in our city drains. Tobacco litter represents nearly 32 percent of all litter in outdoor recreation areas. Cigar tip and cigarette butt litter on ball fields, parks, picnic areas, and hiking trails decreases the appeal of these natural escapes. It also creates fire hazards and can contribute to lost tourism and revenue. There are so many positive reasons to make the parks smoke/tobacco free. Our children are the primary reason. When children see adults smoking in a familyfriendly place like a park, they think smoking is acceptable and are more

likely to copy the behavior. Our families and children deserve a clean, safe place to play. That is why we should consider expanding the no smoking areas within Wabash City Parks. Not just the play areas. I encourage everyone to contact your city council member to let them know you support an ordinance to make all city parks completely smoke/tobacco free. In Indiana each year, approximately 1,426 people die prematurely from exposure to secondhand smoke, including 1,409 adults and 17 infants and children. Secondhand smoke costs Indiana approximately $1.3 billion in excess medical expenses and premature loss of life, or about $201 per person each year. The U.S. Surgeon General says there is no safe level of secondhand smoke exposure. Smokefree environments are the most effective way to fighting exposure to secondhand smoke. – Dan Gray, Executive Director, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition

There are different types of E. coli Dear Editor, I read the article on E. coli on Aug. 26 with a great deal of interest. The E. coli investigation by ISDH is a very specific type of E. coli called E. coli 0157. It is important that this designation be used to distinguish

it from the many strains of E. coli that live in the intestines of healthy humans and animals. It is also known in the medical world as STEC or Shiga-toxin producing E. coli. STEC can cause hemolytic uremic syndrome and this

happens in about 15% of children with these infections. This syndrome causes kidney problems, low blood platelets and destruction of red blood cells and is very serious. I know as an infection control nurse, I have caused this con-

fusion before too. Here is the CDC site in case you are interested in reading m o r e : www.cdc.gov/ecoli/i ndex.html - Angie Kitashoji, BSN, RN, Infection Control C o o r d i n a t o r, Marion General Hospital

Former Apache gridder appreciates reunion Dear Editor: I want to thank John Lehner and John Eltzroth for the many hours and effort they spent arranging the 1963 Apache football team reunion. It would not

have happened if it had not bee for these two. I also want to thank Athletic Director Greg Martz, Booster Club President Sam Hipskind and the Booster Club. They all

also worked tirelessly to make this reunion the success that it was. I appreciate Coach Floyd McWhirt taking time from his busy pre-game schedule to bring several

team members to meet me and, of course, discuss football. Thanks again for an unforgettable weekend. – Devere Fair, Carmel

Palascak makes finals of “Last Comic Standing”...continued from the front page the top five is great.” Palascak auditioned for the show once before in 2005, however did not make it on. “I remember waiting outside in the cold in Chicago for hours like eight hours, waiting in line and then finally getting to go on stage and they had pretty much found everyone they wanted so it didn’t work out,” he said. “That was the first time I’ve ever tried. I remember … when I started doing standup like the very first year I started, that was the first year of

the show and it seemed like such a cool thing. So now to be on it is a dream coming true. “It’s like I’m going to Disney World. I’m one of those people.” Officially, Palascak has performed on various shows on NBC, TBS, CBS, Comedy Central, Fox, the radio and the Internet, most recently appearing on Conan. Unofficially, he notes, he’s done standup to strangers at the airport. One of the first things a person learns about comedy is that what you do is all your choice,

Palascak said. “But coming into this show, you get notes from the judges and something I sort of found out about life and career is that to always sort of give, sort of acknowledge that (your jokes) could be leaned in the right direction because it’s hard to see everything yourself,” he continued. “It felt like listening to what they said and applying it made me grow as a comedian every time they said something.” Palascak said he loves the way Macdonald calmly explains his critiques

while Barr shouts out what she’s thinking. “Keenan (Wayans), he’s the one when I listen to his comments as I’m watching the show now I think, ‘Oh that makes sense and that makes sense,’” he continued. “But I feel like there’s been some parts where in my first show, I took a joke and I cut out a part because I didn’t think it was that important and Keenan pointed out that he wanted me to go into that part of the joke. “So I thought that was sort of interesting to know that the part of the joke that I

didn’t think was that interesting or important would have been really fun for him to hear. So I think maybe his advice is sort of trust yourself and do what you do, even though he didn’t say that, but that’s what I sort of felt.” The “Last Comic Standing” finale will air Wednesday, Sept. 9, NBC. Palascak will compete against four other comedians i n c l u d i n g Dominique, Clayton English, Andy Erickson and Ian Bagg for the grand prize of $250,000, an NBC development deal and the title of

the last comic standing. However, win or lose, since the Wabash-grown comedian made it into the final round, he will be traveling across the nation with the four other contestants in the “Last Comic Standing” live tour, returning to Wabash on Dec. 2 to perform on the Honeywell Center Ford Theater stage. “That’s where my high school graduating class was the first class to graduate at the Ford Theater and we were on the stage,” Palascak said. “So I think it’ll be

really cool to go back and it’s like my job to be there. It’s like, I think, it all comes back to the beginning kind of.” Palascak said he’s looking forward to returning to Wabash. “I just feel really luck to come from that town and I appreciate everyone’s support. It means a lot. I’ve seen it on Facebook and Twitter. I couldn’t have picked a better place to come from when it comes to growing up and I feel that every day in my career.”

Red Cross to mark 9/11 Day By The Paper staff The American Red Cross is partnering with 9/11 Day to offer individuals a chance to help others and commemorate the events of Sept. 11 by giving blood or platelets or volunteering their time with the Red Cross. 9/11 Day was launched in 2002 as an annual day of service to honor the victims and heroes of Sept. 11. Since then, it has evolved into the largest annual day of charitable engage-

ment in the U.S. and was designated as a National Day of Service and Remembrance by the U.S. Congress in 2009. Each year tens of millions of people observe the day by performing acts of service and good deeds. “This annual observance increasingly resonates with people with each passing year, for the benefit of countless people and communities in need, and that’s surely gratifying,” said Jay S. Winuk, co-founder of

9/11 Day. “Those who participate are making a real difference. The Red Cross is an ideal partner to engage people to step forward, and we’re confident that blood donors, volunteers and organizations will answer this call for help while honoring the heroes of 9/11.” Winuk lost his brother Glenn in the 9/11 attacks. Glenn J. Winuk, an attorney with Holland & Knight in downtown Manhattan, served as a volunteer firefight-

er and EMT for almost 20 years. After helping evacuate the Holland & Knight law offices where he was a partner, he raced to the nearby World Trade Center’s south tower to help with rescue efforts. He died when that tower collapsed – a borrowed first-response medical kit was found by his side. The only local blood drive near Sept. 11 will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 9 at Dukes Memorial Hospital, Peru.

USO Show returns to Peabody ... continued from the front page Some of those memories were good, the ladies added. “Oh it just makes us feel young again,” Hippensteel said. “It makes us feel like we’re back in the USO era again and dancing and —” “Teenagers,” added Jean Hatch, also a resident. “ Y e a h , ” Hippensteel agred. “It puts you right back in those years, that music. I loved it. Just like last year, it was mostly women here. We’re all widowed women and we were dancing together (like) we had to back during the war because the guys were all gone to. Back to that again, we just like we were when we were 18 or 19.”

For Hatch, the music reminded her of when her husband was stationed in the Aleutian Islands and he thought he’d be there until the end of the war. “But one night I got a call and said, ‘It’s me I’m in Anchorage. They pulled my name out of a bunch of names and I get a furlough so I’m on my way home,’” Hatch said. “How wonderful that was. So he was home for about two weeks, I believe, and he got on the ship to go back to the Aleutian Islands and he was in the harbor and the war ended so he didn’t have to go back. He could come home instead.” However, other

memories weren’t so joyful, Hippensteel and Hatch admitted as tears welled in their eyes. Without mentioning specific memories, Hippensteel said, “There was just a lot of good music before the war was over.” Overall, however, Hatch and Hippensteel said that they look forward to this year’s event, crediting Williams and the Peabody Home Foundation. “It’s just a wonderful show that the Peabody has put on for us,” Hatch said. “I just appreciate it.” This year, the event will feature the S t a r d u s t e r s Orchestra, the Starlighters Quartet

and renown jazz singer, Janiece Jaffe. A vintage military collection will also be displayed throughout the day. A pulled pork and brisket dinner provided by Jefferson Street BBQ in Converse will be free to all residents of the Peabody Retirement Community and all World War II veterans. Additional guest tickets are $15. The concert will begin at 6 p.m. and is open and free to the public. The Peabody R e t i r e m e n t Community is located at 400 West 7th St. in North Manchester.

Bike enthusiasts to descend on Wabash County By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Some 400 bicycle enthusiasts, some as from as far away at

Virginia, are expected to descend on Wabash County this weekend for the annual Dam to Dam Wabash County Century Ride. Riders will leave the

Wabash County YMCA between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, to travel one of five routes available. The routes are 100 miles, 62 miles (or a

metric century), 50 miles (a half century), 30 miles and 15 miles. As of midweek last week, more than 320 people had preregistered for the event,

presented by Parkview Wabash Hospital and organized by the Rock City Bicycle Club and Visit Wabash County. Among those riding in the event, according to Dam to Dam Committee chair Amy Ford, is Melanzana Cycling, a team from the women’s Little 500 bicycle race at Indiana University in Bloomington. In addition, “we have people coming from Wisconsin, Virginia, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois and all over Indiana,” organizing liaison Christine Flohr said. “I would say even those in Indiana, 80 to 85 percent are from outside of Wabash County.” That is a good sign, Ford believes, because it “means the Wabash County people are just waiting” to see what the weather is going to do. Registration at midweek last week was larger than it was last year at the same time. There were 40 walk-up registrations on the day of the ride, bringing the 2014 participation figure to 351 people. Organizers expect to top that. “That is due to cyclists who don’t care if they have to pay a late fee,” Flohr said. “They would rather wait to see what the weather will do, or they really don’t care about receiving a participation T-shirt.” Ford noted that some “wait until the last minute because schedules change or something opens up and they say ‘Hey, let’s go do that.’” Pre-re gistration, which ended Sept. 1, was $40. Registration the day of the event will be $50. The routes will be similar to last year, though organizers were afraid that high water, especially around the Mississinewa Reservoir, would cause changes to be made. “Everything is

Titus to retire as park superintendent ... continued from page 10 busy. “Talking with Joe (Vogel), he told me there’s 40 scales at Walmart alone,” Titus said. “And you sample packaged goods as well. You might go to produce and get a packaged good, and then you take it back and check the labeling. “You analyze it. You make sure what’s represented on that package is what you get.” His retirement also will come at the end of the current mayoral administration. “I think it’s a good time for everybody, really,” he said. “Some people might not think that. But I told the council during the budget meetings this year that if I’m still here at age 65, which is two and a half years, that I wouldn’t be here too long after that. “That would be basically in the middle of the next administration. And I think trying to find someone to come in and finish up those two years would be not

that easy of a thing to do. I think it’s a good time because the new mayor and the park board can get that all worked out as to whom that person should be. Then (the mayor and new superintendent) can go in together and have four years to establish themselves and continue on, hopefully after that.” Titus is active in various community functions, most notably serving as chairman of the Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off. He hopes to remain active with the various groups, but has not yet made any decisions about that. “A lot of things that I’m involved in have a direct link to being park superintendent,” he said. “So how effective I can be on those things without having the resources available to me as park superintendent, I’m not really sure. “But I don’t plan on just going to hide away some place.”

Northfield senior takes County Amateur Golf championship By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

After two golf courses and 36 holes, Braydon Schindler, a Northfield High School senior, took home the Wabash County Amateur Golf Tournament champion title the weekend of July 25-26. Approximately 39 golfers of all ages participated in the twoday tournament began which began on Saturday July 25 at the Honeywell Golf Course. It concluded the following day at Etna Acres Golf Course. Schindler, 17, shot 71 on first day and 77 on the second, with an overall 148 total for the competition. It just felt good to win champion, Schindler said. “I’ve played in this twice now and the

first time I didn’t play very good at all,” he continued. “And I’ve come so close in the club championship a few times so it just felt good to finally pull through and win.” Schindler first participated in the amateur tournament two years ago. “After doing this whole thing in high school this year, I just had a lot more confidence coming in and I worked a lot harder at it to make sure I could play at that level.” Schindler confidently said he can hit the ball fairly long off the tee, but over the years he’s worked on hitting the 60 to 70 yard “wet shots” into the greens. High school coach Eric Terrell said Schindler’s accomplishment was “a huge feat and honor with all the great golfers in Wabash

County for a young man, senior year in high school, to win the county.” Terrell began coaching Schindler in 2012, but the Norse senior’s interest in golf began when he was much younger. “Braydon has been a part of the golf course and a part of golf in this area since he was in seventh grade,” said Mel Thomas, Honeywell Public Golf Course pro. “So everybody has known Braydon’s name, has known what he’s been able to do. He’s, at a young, has taken a lot more interest in the game, but he does inspire other young kids to come out and play.” Thomas said he absolutely sees Schindler as a role model for other kids. “He and I have talked about it,” Thomas continued.

“He has to be a role model. He has to be somebody that kids look up to to actually keep the program going. It’s no different than what they’ve done in the past with baseball in Wabash County. “I mean with Northfield and Wabash and the success that they’ve had, the success that Southwood’s had in other sports, it’s one of those things when you hear that someone has the ability that Braydon has you want to make sure and hold them up to it. You have to hold him up to a little bit different standard, but you also have to make sure to really work to make him understand that he has to be that role model and he’s accepted that challenge and I think it’s one of the reasons why he’s

Braydon Schindler (center) poses with his Northfield High School coach Eric Terrell (left) and Honeywell Golf Course pro Mel Thomas (right) as he receives the Wabash County Amateur Golf Tournament champion plaque. Schindler, 17, took the title and beat out approximately 38 other participants of all ages with a 148 final score. Photo by Emma Rausch stepped up and accomplished the things that he’s accomplished.” Over the years, Thomas has gotten to know Schindler as both a golfer and an employer. “So I have a little bit different of inside

information on him than most people do,” he said. “He’s worked hard at everything he’s done up to this point in time. So hard work actually pays off and pays dividends and you get rewards at the end.” When asked what

his win speaks to the ability of youths, Schindler said, “It just shows that God makes us capable of taking anything on. “As long as we practice as hard as we can, we can accomplish anything.”

DNR proposes regular-season 2015 waterfowl season dates From the Department of Natural Resources The regular-season waterfowl dates, as proposed to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) by the Indiana DNR, are listed below. The dates are not final until approved by the USFWS in mid- to late-September. Look for another announcement around that time that will either confirm or amend

these dates. Historically, they have been accepted as proposed. The DNR’s recommended dates for ducks, coots and mergansers are: — North Zone: Oct. 24 to Dec. 13 and Dec. 19-27 — Central Zone: Oct. 31 to Nov. 8 and Nov. 21 to Jan. 10 — South Zone: Oct. 31 to Nov. 8 and Nov. 28 to Jan. 17 The daily bag limit for ducks in all zones is six, including no

more than four mallards (of which no more than two can be hens), three scaup, three wood ducks, two pintails, two redheads, two canvasbacks, one black duck and one mottled duck. The daily bag limit for coots is 15. The daily bag limit for mergansers, separate from ducks, is five, of which no more than two can be hooded mergansers. The possession limit is three times the daily bag limit. The U.S. Fish

and Wildlife Service estimates the mallard breed-ing population at a record-high 11.6 million, 7 percent higher than last year and 51 percent higher than the long-term average. Estimates of most species were similar to last year’s record-setting estimates. Total ducks, gadwalls, green- and blue-winged teal, shovelers and redheads remain at or near record levels in 2015. For Canada geese, white-fronted

geese, brant and light geese, the proposed dates are: — North Zone: Oct. 24 to Nov. 22 and Dec. 12 to Jan. 24 — Central Zone: Oct. 31 to Nov. 8 and Nov. 21 to Jan. 24 — South Zone: Oct. 31 to Nov. 8 and Nov. 28 to Jan. 31 The bag limit for all dark geese (Canada, white-fronted and brant) has changed this year. The new limit is five, no more than three of which can be Canada

geese. The possession limit is three times the daily bag limit. The daily bag limit for light geese (snow, blue and/or Ross’ geese) is 20, with no possession limit for light geese. The proposed late season for Canada geese is Feb. 1–15. The counties open during the late season are: Adams, Allen, Boone, Clay, DeKalb, Elkhart, Greene, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Huntington, Johnson, Kosciusko, LaPorte,

LaGrange, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Morgan, Noble, Parke, St. Joseph, Shelby, Steuben, Starke, Sullivan, Vermillion, Vigo, Wells and Whitley. The daily bag limit during this season is three Canada geese, with a possession limit of nine. The proposed light goose conservation order is Feb. 1 to March 31, statewide, except for those counties that have a late season on Canada (continued on page 19)

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A guitar custom painted by local artist Michael “Hap” Hapner and signed by rock-nroll legend Peter Frampton will be raffled off at the 13th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for

Charity Chili Cook-off. The event will be Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Paradise Spring Historical Park. Cooking begins shortly after 8 p.m., and tasting will begin at noon. Hapner, who has donated a fiddle signed by Charlie Daniels and a guitar signed by the rock band The Moody

September 9, 2015

Blues in the past, said it took him 26 straight hours to paint the guitar. “I had something in mind (for the pattern) on this one,” he told The Paper of Wabash County after presenting the guitar to the Chili Cook-off committee on Thursday night. The bottom of the

guitar’s body has a blue and black checkerboard while the top third of the body has a colorful polka dot pattern, on a black background. The guitar’s neck has another polka dot pattern, while the very top of the guitar has a pattern similar to the polka dots on the guitar body. Near the top of the guitar is a chili pepper. “I’ve done a similar pattern like this a number of times, but I also break it up,” Hapner said. “This is a real graphic pattern, but I put some orange in to break it up.” Hapner is a selftaught artist who said he chose this guitar because it is shaped similar to a Gibson guitar, which Frampton plays. “I wanted something that was fairly Gibsony-shaped,” he said. “Just so I could do this pattern, really.” The guitar will be among the items raffled during the Oct. 17 event. Proceeds from the cook-off will benefit nine local charities: 85 Hope, Foundation for Art & Music in Education, Honeywell Educational Outreach Program, Manchester Early Learning Center, North Manchester Historical Society, The Access Youth Center, Town of Roann, Wabash Challenger League and Wabash County Transit. Committee members all expressed appreciation to Hapner for his efforts.

URBANA

September 9, 2015

Mary Ann Mast 260-225-0654 mamast1906@ comcast.net

URBANA STREET LIGHT FUND COLLECTION began Sept. 1 and will continue throughout the month of Sept. Since Urbana is an unincorporated town, keeping the street lights burning in Urbana depends upon the generosity of the people living in the town. Collectors will come door-to-door to collect. They will be wearing badges to indicate they are official collectors. If anyone calls asking for donations, you can be certain that it is not an official collector. Committee members are asking for a $10 donation from individual households and a $50 donation from businesses. If you would prefer to send in your donations, you can send them to Urbana Light Fund, P. O. Box 112, Urbana, In 46990. Thank you to all our donors, both past and present, for your vital part in keeping the Urbana street lights lit. (From Romi Plath, Urbana Street Light Committee member.) URBANA LIONS CLUB MEMBERS have been working hard to renovate the kitchen, storage, hallway, bathroom, and front meeting room of the Urbana Community Building. They have moved everything from the area and then spent a week cleaning, degreasing, and repainting all of the areas. Besides putting down new flooring and sub-flooring in all of that area, they found they needed to replace the lights in the kitchen, repair the flooring where it had rotted inside the back door, put down new trim, and replace the refrigerator. The flooring was put down on Aug. 31, Sept. 1 and 2. Lions members met again Sept 3 to begin putting everything back in place.

As with any remodeling project, unexpected expenses have come up and the expenses have gone way beyond what was originally budgeted to do the renovation. If anyone in the Urbana area who has used the building at any time or will be using it in the future would like to help with the expenses, it would be greatly appreciated. The facility will be clean and beautiful! Checks can be written to Urbana Lions Club and sent to Treasurer Mary Ann Mast at 1906N 100W, Wabash, IN 46992. MAST REUNION: Marvin and Mary Ann hosted the families of Orville and Catherine Mast at their home on Aug. 29 with 43 members present. Those attending were Cloyd and Shirley Mast, Jeff and Becky Mast, Audry Mast and Justin McCulloch (Fort Wayne), Allison Mast and Wes Brown (Indianapolis), Rhett and Landon Mast and Sarah Stroup (Wabash), Adriane and Tyler Leland - Coby and Myles (Plainfield), Jessica Mast and Rex and Jenna France (Wabash), Amelia and Brock Anderson (Pendleton), Megan and Heath Lehner - Grady and Ross (Lagro), Nicole and Michael Couch (Indianapolis), Missy and Bobby Swan (Lagro), Karin Sherbahn, Stephanie Sherbahn, Bryan Sherbahn, Scott and his children, Lucas and Lyla Sherbahn (Fort Wayne), Connie and Claire Costello (Fort Wayne), Aaron and Amber Mast Alex, Jacob and Eli (Bloomington), and guest Eileen Weck (Urbana). Those unable to attend were Larry and Nancy Mast (Elkhart), Eric and Jody Mast and Elizabeth and Meredith (Huron, Ohio), Tory Mast (London, England), Todd Swan (Prague, Czech Republic), Graham Mast (University of Cincinnati), and Mark and Tricia Anderson (Pendleton).
