Wabash City Schools see big changes for 2014-2015 school year

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com As the 2014-2015 school year begins, Wabash City Schools begins the new year with plenty of changes. The most prevalent change will be the 4th grade students moving to O.J. Neighbours, with the 5th grade students joining the middle school culture following the closing of W.C. Mills. Other changes include new school times corporation-wide, as well as administration changes and new teachers in each school. With the closing of W.C. Mills Elementary at the end of the 2013-2014 school year, students knew they would either be heading back to O.J Neighbours or on to Wabash Middle School a year sooner than anticipated. “As far as the fourth grade staying here, I’m excited about that,” said O.J. Neighbours principal, Danielle Miller. “I know it seems like I’m adding 111 more students, but except for the new move-ins, they’re all students who have already been here, know the procedures, know the building, so for me it’s not going to be a big change, because they are my former students,” continued Miller. Parents and students had no issues with fourth grade students returning to O.J. Neighbours. The same could not be said about fifth grade students moving up to the middle school sooner than expected. “Most kids really did look forward to going on to Mills, because it was the “big kids’ school. I thought I would hear more of that, but I really didn’t. Most of the kids I talked to were excited they were going to be able to stay here,” said Miller. “The middle school environment, I think, is a very high energy, exciting, fast paced moving

environment, and that’s a little bit different than the fourth and fifth grade building,” said new Wabash Middle School principal and former W.C. Mills Elementary principal, Mike Mattern. “I’m excited about exposing some of the kids to that type of environment, but yet, still keeping them as a fifth grade unit,” he added. Mattern, along with the rest of the middle school staff, has changed up the schedule to accommodate the addition of the fifth grade. They have worked on creating a 5th and 6th grade culture, with fifth grade students remaining self-contained as they would have been at W.C. Mills. The students even travel to lunch in their usual class lines, unlike the rest of the middle school, who is dismissed to walk on their own. “As we’ve told the parents from the beginning, that 5th/6th culture is going to be a part of it; that upper elementary culture. We even changed the 6th grade to where they travel as cohort groups instead of just being mixed from one class to the next,” said Mattern. Mattern believes that a 5th through 8th middle school is an exciting step for the corporation. “It’s very exciting actually to have a 5-8 building. There are not very many of them in the state, so we have an opportunity to really revamp a culture, create an awesome community with the whole group, but still meet the needs of the 5th graders and the varied needs of the 8th graders. It will be fun.” Students seemed to have mixed emotions about the move into the middle school. Fifth grade students Brook Westendorf, Brycen (continued on page 9)

HAVING 5TH GRADE STUDENTS at Wabash Middle School is one of the biggest changes to the corporation during the new school year. With the closing of W.C. Mills at the end of the 2013-2014 school year, 4th grade students were moved into O.J. Neighbours Elementary School and 5th grade students were moved to Wabash Middle School, to the dismay of some parents. Wabash Middle School and the corporation made some changes to accommodate the addition of 5th grade, including keeping the 5th grade students basically self-contained. On their way to lunch, the students travel in an empty hallway, in line, guided by their teachers. (photo by Emily Armentrout)

Michel, Dale named grand champions at Indiana State Fair

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com When the Wabash County Fair comes to a close in mid-July, it is the end of the road for many 4-Hers. For a few, however, the county fair is a warm up for the big competition at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis. For two county residents, the seemingly endless hours of work paid off big, bringing their grand champion awards back to Wabash. Elizabeth Michel of North Manchester showed the 4-H Grand Champion Meat Goat Wether, Quake, in the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum on Aug. 4. “It was really neat getting to show in the brand new coliseum Monday night with the spotlight on us,” said Michel. “It was just such an amazing experience.” The daughter of Jeff and Amanda Michel, Elizabeth began showing goats seven years ago when she started 4-H. The Michel family grows corn, soybeans, and wheat for a living, only raising livestock for 4-H, but they’ve come a long way since that first year with the animals. “My first year of 4-H, we knew nothing about goats whatsoever,” said Michel. “My dad used to be in 4-H, and he did nothing with them. He showed hogs and beef and sheep when he was in 4-H, and he suggested my first year that I show [goats]. This is my seventh year, and I’ve been showing them all seven years now.” This is not the Michel family’s first success this season. Elizabeth showed

But the state fair, according to Michel, is a different ball game. “It was a lot different than Wabash, because all the people in Indianapolis, they break their goats and they do their

legs a lot different,” said Michel. “It’s just a lot more competitive.” The goats that took the top prize at the county fair, however, were not the same goats that the Michels took to the state fair. “In the past, we’ve had problems with our goats getting sick, because they were stressed out being at a different place for

so long,” said Michel. “This year, my dad and I, and my brothers, wanted to try taking different goats to the county fair and then keeping the state fair goats at home so that they could stay healthy and rest at home before the state fair.” When asked what set her and her goat apart form the rest of the competition, (continued on page 5)

THE PAPER

August 13, 2014

Michel, Dale named grand champions...continued from front page Michel said it all came down to hard work. “I think it’s because we worked hard enough for it,” said Michel. “That’s all we’ve worked for this summer was to compete as well as we can down at Indianapolis. We were up early every single morning, and we were down in the barn late at night every single night just working and pushing ourselves harder to be better and to show better than the competition down there.” Elizabeth, who started her sophomore year of high school this week, shows goats exclusively. Her brother Skyler, in his fourth year of 4-H, shows turkeys and chickens in addition to goats. Elizabeth’s youngest brother, Zach, also

helps with the goats, but is not yet old enough to participate in 4-H. For the Michels, 4-H is truly a family affair. “We were very, very blessed to be able to do something like this and to do well in it,” said Michel. “I couldn’t do it at all without my family. My brothers, Skyler and Zach, there’s no way I would be able to do it without them. It’s a family thing, and I love doing it.” Michel was not the only Wabash County resident to bring home a grand champion title from the state fair. After a hugely successful run at the Wabash County Fair, taking home both Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion Best of Show in the meat goat competition, Madalyn

Dale showed the Grand Champion Percentage Boer Doe, Cranberry Ice, in the Indiana State Fair’s open competition. The daughter of Shane and Gina Dale, Madalyn has been showing goats for eight years, but her family’s experience with goats goes back much further. “It all started with grandpa Jim. He always raised pygmy goats for dad and his brothers,” said Dale. “Dad wanted to get me into something like it, so he started the Boer goats my first year. We started with three goats, and now we’ve got a lot.” Like Michel, Dale said the competition at the state fair is a bit different than that at the county fair. “You go down to state, and you get into

people who do it big,” said Dale. “Everybody comes from around the state of Indiana. We have some out-ofstate too, because you can show in as many state fairs as you want. So you get a lot more people. You have better competition and a lot more to work for.” Like the Michels, raising goats is a family affair for the Dales. Madalyn’s brother, Quentin, took home several awards at the county fair and won first place in his class at state. The state fair in Indianapolis is close compared to some of the places Dale has traveled showing goats. “I’ve been quite a few places with the goats,” said Dale. “I’ve been to Michigan, Ohio, we’ve been to

Texas, a lot of different places. Mostly I enjoy being able to meet the people at the shows I go to. I know that all the hard work and determination I’ve put into it pays off in the end.” For another competition, Dale traveled to Nebraska in June to show Cranberry Ice at the American Boer Goat Association Nationals, where she won Grand Champion Percentage Boer Doe. Because of the trip, Cranberry Ice was ineligible for the 4-H competition this year, but was still able to compete in the open competition. In addition to goats, Dale shows swine and poultry, but she likes goats the best. “I like how they act,” Dale said. “I like how easy they are to tame down, and that

any age can work with them. They’re just a really fun animal to have, because they’re a lot like a dog.” Of all the goats Dale raises, one stands out from the rest. As state and national champion, Cranberry Ice is a special goat. “She had what it took,” Dale said about her win at the state fair. “She’s in the best show shape of her life. From the day she was born, she was

just that much better than any other goat in my barn. I’ll continue to show her for, hopefully, quite a while.” For Elizabeth Michel, Madalyn Dale, and Wabash County as a whole, this year’s fair season has been a huge success. With another week to go at the Indiana State Fair, there is a chance that Wabash County could see another grand champion.

Wabash firefighters Northfield Atheltic Booster Club and MDA to celebrate golf outing to be held Sept. 21 60 years strong Members of the Wabash Fire Department together with the Muscular D y s t r o p h y Association, will celebrate their 60-year partnership and kick off the fire fighters’ annual Fill the Boot fundraising campaign to benefit children and adults affected by muscle disease throughout the Wabash area. More than 30 members of the Wabash Fire Department will fan out across the city with boots in hand for this year’s drive on Aug. 14 – 16. The Wabash Fire Department has a goal to raise more than $4,000 to help MDA and the individuals in Wabash County affected by Muscular Dystrophy. If someone would like to make a larger donation, they are welcome to drop off a check made out to MDA at the fire department on 1000 N. Wabash St. For six decades, fire fighters have fueled MDA’s mission to find treatments and cures for life-threatening muscle diseases.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF FORMER URBANA resident Marcus Guttrich, who died peacefully at his home in Carmel, on July 29. Marcus was born on Jan. 5, 1926, and was 88 years old. He was a member of the 1944 Urbana graduating class and served in the US Army during the end days of World War II. Following the war, he returned to the family farm two miles west of Urbana and married JoAnn R. Mast. His professional career took him from the farm to selling Ford cars and trucks, which was a great passion of his. Following his time with Ford he worked at Ace Hardware until he retired in 1988. Marcus had many friends in the Urbana area as well as all over the state that he loved to visit and eat with. Marcus’ family often joked that Marcus “knew every restaurant in Indiana.” Marcus’ survivors include children Susanne R. Guttrich, Sara J. (David) Hughes, Dennis M. Guttrich, and grandchildren Michael Guttrich and Elizabeth Hughes. At the family’s request the funeral was a private military-type service on Aug. 1 at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens, Fishers, where his wife JoAnn was interred in 2001. (photo provided) PRAYER CONCERNS: Please add the family and friends of Keith LaCanfora who passed away on Aug. 1 and Lois Roser, who was hospitalized after a stroke. Dean Dawes had surgery and is recuperating.

Wabash City Schools sees big changes... continued from front page

Niccum and Mason Dillon took a few minutes from their first lunch period as middle school students to speak with The Paper about their thoughts on the closing of W.C. Mills and their first day at Wabash Middle School. “I was kind of excited, because I got to see what the older kids did, but I was nervous and scared, because I didn’t know where anything was or how to do anything here,” Westendorf told The Paper. “I feel less nervous, because a lot of my friends in my class didn’t know anything either, so we’re learning together. I do miss Mills, because there is going to be no more school there, but the middle school is bigger and I like being here.” “I was kind of happy but kind of sad at the time,” Niccum told The Paper, “because W.C. Mills was right behind our house, so we can’t walk anymore, and there are a lot of bigger kids here, so I was afraid, but the lunch line here is easier,” Niccum added with a laugh. “I like it a lot better than Mills.” “It’s closer to my house, so I can walk or ride with my brother,” explained Dillon, who was not nervous about his move to the middle school at all. “We haven’t had any

Another change that O.J. Neighbours Elementary and Wabash Middle School are seeing is the additions of assistant principals. O.J Neighbours’ new assistant principal, Kyle Wieland, moves over from Wabash High School, and Wabash Middle Schools’ assistant principal is Laura Sigler, the former 8th grade math teacher at the middle school.

“The nice thing is, Kyle has already been in the system. He’s familiar with what we do. He’s familiar with our goals and the direction our district is heading, so I was really fortunate when he said he wanted to get elementary experience. It was definitely an easy choice for me,” said Miller of Wieland moving to O.J. Neighbours. Wieland is the first assistant principal in the history of O.J. Neighbours. His primary responsibilities (continued on page 12)

Paper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything I have heard about the staff and what I have experienced so far, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great group of people who really care about the kids and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where my heart is too.â&#x20AC;? Wieland received his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from Indiana University and his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from Ball State University. He was the high school assistant principal for three years before making the move to O.J. Neighbours. Wabash Middle School filled their assistant principal vacancy with Laura Sigler. This will be her first year as assistant principal, but this is her 10th year in education. She was an 8th grade math teacher at Wabash Middle School for the past nine years, and though she never imagined stepping away from the classroom, when a former

principal suggested the administration path, she took a chance and found a new avenue to continue on in education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I had my own little classroom set up in my basement when I was in the third or fourth grade. I made my invisible class work as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d write on the board and I had a teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of a science book that I would teach my invisible classes,â&#x20AC;? Sigler told The Paper. Once Sigler decided to pursue her masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree, she made the decision to head into administration and never looked back. After interning as a vice principal with Wabash Middle School last year, while also teaching fulltime, she made it clear she wanted to continue her educational career in administration with the corporation.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right after I finished my masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree, I was in contact with my principal and Mr. Callahan saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Look, I want a job in this corporation. This is where my heart is. This is where I feel at home,â&#x20AC;? added Sigler. In Wielandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to O.J. Neighbours, a vacancy was created at Wabash High School. This position has been filled by longtime Wabash City Schools employee Jeff Galley. Galley has worked with Wabash City Schools as a teacher and worked his way up. Galley began teaching 8th grade U.S. History, then moving to the high school to teach U.S. History, World History and Civil War History. He has been with the corporation for a total of 14 years. Galley started into education after his own teachers impacted his life in a such a (continued on page 13)

THE PAPER

Wabash City Schools sees big changes... continued from page 12 him to want to impact students in the same way. “I had three really outstanding teachers at Northfield who really made an impact on me. Steve Desper, Barb Bickel and Fred Griffith, they impacted me. They took the time to get to know me. They cared about me,” explained Galley. Matt Stone, former Wabash City Schools athletic director and new chief business officer for the district feels the same way about education. “My coaches and teachers made want me to go into education. I wanted to be like them and have the same kind of impact,” Stone told The Paper. Stone made the change from athletic director to chief business officer when Scott Bumgardner, who was set to take over the chief business officer position from recent retiree Jan Roland, resigned from the district to work at M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools. Stone’s responsibilities as chief business officer will be mostly financial, but he will also be responsible for helping with buildings and grounds and the day-to-day operations of the district to help Superintendant Callahan. Stone also stepped down as Wabash High School boys’ baseball coach to take over as the

girls’ basketball coach in Bumgardner’s absence. “I’ve wanted to get back to basketball since I left as the boys’ coach. In this position (as chief business officer), it will be easier to coach basketball. They play mostly on Saturdays. Baseball was every night. It would have been really tough, especially during the time of year that you’re getting budget stuff ready, to be gone every night for three months,” explained Stone. His head coach position for the boys’ baseball team will be filled by his former assistant coach, Jack Holley. With Stone’s move into the chief business officer position, that left a vacancy in the athletic director position, which Wabash City Schools filled with Greg Martz, a veteran athletic director with a strong coaching history. “We were really lucky to get a guy like Greg,” Stone told The Paper. “He’s been a head football coach, head track coach, and been athletic director at Frontier High School for nine years.” Stone joked that his only advice for Martz was to “make Mrs. Fox happy as your assistant.” Graduating from H u n t i n g t o n University in 1995, education is part of

Martz’s family’s legacy. “My father and mother have been in education. I had a grandma in education. So it made sense for me to follow that path,” explained Martz. Martz has 20 years of experience in education and looks forward to being in the city school corporation. “It’s a new challenge for me. It’s one I’m looking forward to. Wabash has had some pretty strong traditions in athletics, and I’m just looking forward to coming here and working with coaches who are highly respected,” added Martz. With 20 years of experience under his belt, Martz was the defensive coordinator for the Norwell football team when they went to the state championship in 1999. He was the head football coach at Frontier High School for 10 years after that, and as athletic director, he has had a boys’ baseball team make it to semi-state and a girls’ softball team who made it to the state finals in 2008. In 2009, the Frontier’s girls’ basketball team won their first-ever sectional championship, which is something that excites Martz about Wabash. “Coming here, you see how Wabash embraces traditions

of the past. There’s a lot of pride and passion in this community.” With the new year bringing lots of changes, don’t look for too many changes to come from Martz during this school year. Two changes the community can expect to see is a change to the TRC schedule in the future and head coaches deeper involvement in middle school sports. “This will be the last year of eight teams in the TRC. Next year, we’ll be adding Peru and Maconaquah. The biggest thing people will see is schedule changes with who we’re playing, when we’re playing and that will be different. Also, I am big on head coaches being really involved in the middle

school. I’m not saying that wasn’t done here, but coming from Frontier, which is a really, really small school compared to Wabash, we had to have a lot more involvement, so that will be something that I will tweak a little,” explained Martz. With administration shifts and teacher retirements, there will be some new faces in the Wabash City Schools teaching staff as well. At O.J. Neighbours, along with the fourth grade teachers who moved over from W.C. Mills, there are five new teachers and a new paraprofessional on the roster. Alicia Draper, a former aide for O.J., will be teaching 2nd grade. Lindsey Wilson is a new 3rd grade teacher for the district, with Barbara Keffaber

joining the 4th grade teachers. Krista Dean will be the new PALS teacher after her 3rd grade maternity leave coverage ends, and with Dawn Saunders move from the physical education teaching position to the secretary position at the high school, Patty Meagher will be taking over as the physical education teacher. They also add Kelly Karns to their staff as their newest paraprofessional. Wabash Middle School will be adding three new teachers to their staff, along with the teachers who moved over from W.C Mills. Two of their three new employees are former graduates of Wabash High School. Tyler Olson, who will be teaching 6th grade math, and Rachelle Indrutz, who will be teaching 8th

and 9th grade English, both went through the WCS system. Also joining the 8th grade team is Donovan Gentis. Gentis will be teaching 8th grade social studies. Brady McClure also moved over from the high school to teach 8th grade math after Laura Sigler became assistant principal. The high school staff has a few new additions to their roster as well. Brooklyn Short, a former Wabash graduate, will be part of the math department, with Carly Vogel working in the art department. Matthew Mindach is a new addition to the science department and Erin Sapusek is the newest addition to the Wabash High School English department. (continued on page 14)

Wabash City Schools sees big changes... continued from page 13 Sapusek joins Wabash City Schools from Northfield High School. “I had fully intended to turn the job down if offered, and then I got the phone call, offering me the job, and my mouth said ‘I would love to’

before I even had a chance to think about it. I’m excited to see where my brain and heart are taking me because I think it’s going to be a great year,” Sapusek told The Paper. With the highly publicized MSD book

debate behind her, Sapusek was nervous and excited about the new school year. “These kids I’m going to have are no different than the kids I had at Northfield. I mean, we’re all basically the same. Kids are all basically the same wherever you go,” explained Sapusek. “It’s weird, because I’m the new kid in town. I don’t know what to expect, but it makes me a mess to think about it. This is ironic. The one book that was just pulled from the list at MSD – even though it was approved to go to the committee – It got pulled, it’s taught here, regularly. I get to teach it. That’s kind of fun.” Though leaving Northfield High School was a tough decision, Sapusek is looking forward to what this district has to offer and what she can offer this district. “I get to use both of

my passions because of this Ivy Tech dual credit course. Instead of doing papers, they’re going to do public speaking or debates. ‘You mean if I teach ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, I can have them get up and we can do the trial scene?’ That’s just so cool,” Sapusek told The Paper. “We’re getting away from writing proper. There’s still a ton of writing. Writing a speech is like writing a paper. You still have to think of all the words, you just don’t have to put them into flowy sentences. We’re still going to read novels and poems and short stories. They aren’t getting out of English. They are just being assessed differently.” Sapusek’s goal is to help her students feel comfortable in their environment, to avoid kids feeling more like getting a zero than getting up and giving a speech. “Usually, I can get more out of your kids than you think I can. It may not be what you want, but I can get more out of them than you think,” added Sapusek.

(photo by Emily Armentrout) With administration and staff changes, fourth grade at O.J. Neighbours, fifth grade at Wabash Middle School, new coaches, and familiar faces returning to the district, what other changes are happening in the WCS corporation? Just one minor change and one major change. If you call any of the Wabash City School numbers, you will now be directed to the Wabash City Schools phone system, where you can press ‘1’ for current weather relat-

ed information, ‘2’ for Wabash High School and so on. This is a simple, step-by-step system, directing you more accurately to whomever you need to speak with for whatever issue you are seeking to resolve. The larger, more noticeable change is the new corporationwide start and end times. The individual schools used to start between 7:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and end eight hours later. The entire corporation will now begin at 8:35 a.m. and end at 3:35

p.m. “This is something we’ve talked about in the district for a while. A lot of schools have done this, because it helps attendance. Studies show that a later start time helps students. We’re interested to see how this pans out over time,” Galley told The Paper. For more information on the changes that Wabash City Schools are going through, contact Wabash City Schools at 260-563-2151 or visit apaches.k12.in.us.

Haywoods guide “Breaking Trail” host on turtle hunt by Shaun Tilghman Bill Haywood and his 17-year-old son Canaan spent the last weekend in July doing what they do most weekends: hunting and trapping snapping turtles. The weekend went a little differently, however, as Nate “Coyote” Peterson, host of the online nature series “Breaking Trail,” joined the father-son turtle-trapping duo from Laketon. According to Bill, he developed a fascination with snapping turtles when he was 10 years old, and at that time he started hunting them as well. “I had heard the story about the giant turtle they had in a lake up in Churubusco, and I wanted to catch the biggest one anybody had ever heard of,” said Bill. “After hunting and searching, and feeling through the mud and rivers, and catching them by hand, I knew I had to catch a lot more to ever find one that big,” he continued. “So, my dad and I came up with a trap that would catch turtles safely and not harm them – it was very effective. Since then, Canaan and I have modified the traps to make them even better.” Canaan added, “I’ve been around it ever since I can remember, but I actually started trapping with my dad last year. In that time, I’ve learned a lot about trap location and how important that is, but knowing

how to handle the turtles is definitely something you have to learn because I actually got bit this year. I kind of lost my concentration for a minute and that’s all it takes – you take your eyes off of them for a second and you’re going to get bit.” Bill and Canaan have been gaining notoriety based on the unbelievable size of the snappers they’ve caught in the area. In fact, last July, an author named Ben Romans, from Utah, wrote an article about them for “Field & Stream.” After the article came out, Bill received an email from Coyote, who is the host of three nature series – “The Reptile Show”, “Swamp Monsters”, and “Breaking Trail”. Like Bill, Coyote became fascinated with animals and nature at an early age, and he actually captured his first 40pound snapping turtle when he was eight years old. Coyote, who is from Newbury, Ohio, earned a degree in filmmaking from Ohio State University, then combined that with his love for animals and his desire for adventure. He and his crew spent years promoting his motto, “Education through Adventure”, with independent films, and this spring they signed with Discovery Digital Networks (DDN), which is the

online video equivalent of the Discovery Channel. “Breaking Trail” will begin airing this fall on the DDN channel called Animalist, and Coyote says they plan to do a different snapping turtle adventure each season, which is why he thought this area was a natural fit for the show. Once Coyote contacted Bill, they setup the weekend that the crew would come visit the area and hunt. “Discovery asked us to have an assortment of turtles for them to look at and to take pictures of for educational purposes,” Bill explained. “So, we caught nearly 80 snapping turtles over three weekends, and we sorted them out and released them as went. We caught some giants that we knew they’d really like to see, and we kept those in our habitat pool. I would like to thank the landowners that let us hunt their properties – Kent French, Ed French, Dan Hatfield, Greg Hobbs, Dave Williams, and others – especially since we’ve been allowed to hunt Lost Lake.” According to Bill, the folklore associated with Lost Lake is that the Indians named it that because it has a soft, peat bottom that makes it a very dangerous place. “I heard about it when I was a kid, but I didn’t know where it was,” he added. “It’s only been in the last

couple years that I discovered where it was at, who owned it,

and how to get in there. It’s over onehalf mile from the

road and it’s a really scenic drive on an old, unused trail.”

EXPERIENCED TURTLE TRAPPERS – Bill Haywood (right) and his son Canaan pose with two large snapping turtles they trapped recently. The local trappers have gained so much notoriety for the impressive size of their catches that they recently served as guides for animal enthusiast and independent filmmaker Nate “Coyote” Peterson as he and his crew explored Lost Lake.

Rotary North Manchester holds meeting The North Manchester Rotary Club met on Thursday, Aug. 7 at the Main View. Thirteen members were present, along with three guests: Anne Gregory from M a n c h e s t e r University; Noah Shively, grandson of Jim Shively, and who lives with his family in Ireland; and the speaker Terry Michaelis, coordinator of the Middle Eel River Watershed Initiative. It was announced that, beginning Aug. 14 Rotary will again meet on the university campus in the Speicher Room, located in the Switzer Center. Rotary meets at 11:45 a.m. each

Thursday and programs are normally concluded by 1 p.m. Jeri Kornegay presented Anne Gregory, media relations specialist at Manchester University, as a potential new member. Anne has extensive back ground in journalism and involvement with various kinds of community projects. Jeri made the motion to approve Anne as a new member, Viv Simmons seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Members then greeted Anne and congratulated her. For the program, Terry Michaelis talked about the Middle Eel River Watershed Initiative, which is a collabora-

tive program involving the Environmental Studies program at M a n c h e s t e r University and elements of the surrounding community. The watershed includes 169,000 acres along a 30-mile stretch of the river from North Manchester to Mexico, Ind. The Initiative began in 2009 to deal with nonpoint source runoff going into the river. Actions of the Initiative include a watershed management plan, along with holistic water quality monitoring. They also have a cost share program, which provides financial support to landowners

and farmers to implement best management practices. An educational outreach project offers an annual canoe float to educate participants on various aspects of the river. The Initiative continues to operate on grant monies and is hopeful it can eventually expand efforts north beyond the current “middle” Eel River. Sept. 13 is the annual Eel River clean up this fall. Rotary will again provide lunch for the workers. For more information on Rotary, visit the local club’s website at www.rotary46962.org.

Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit #402 hosts annual picnic The Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit #402 recently hosted their annual picnic at the Post Home for 10 Marion VA veterans and two staff members. 40 Auxiliary, Legion and S.A.L members attended, bringing an abundance of homecooked food, salads and desserts. Tables were decorated with purses filled with veteran-made poppys,

labeled “Change for our veterans” and other red, white and blue decorations. Music and entertainment was provided by Post #402 member, Lance Christiansen, a 22year career veteran. The veterans were given a “treat bag” containing white socks, puzzle book, two snack cracker packages and a $5 canteen book. One veteran thanks Veterans Affairs and

Rehabilitation chairman, Thelma Butler, and stated he had never attended a “five course picnic” before. This annual event has been sponsored by Laketon Auxiliary for over 50 years and a few members can remember only two years of veterans not attending. In the early years, the bus was bigger and they would bring 30 veterans. A short auxiliary

meeting was held following the picnic, with 13 members attending. Plans were announced for an auction fundraiser for Friday night at Silver Lake. Also, members are asked to help with preparing boxes of cookies for troops in Afghanistan on Aug. 19 at the Post. Members can drop off cookies after 3 p.m.

American Red Cross encourages blood donations leading into Labor Day weekend The American Red Cross continues to have an urgent need for blood donors of all blood types to give before the Labor Day holiday, even after many more donors stepped up to give following an urgent call issued in late July. Donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially needed. Blood donations often decline during the summer months, particularly around summer holidays.

With school starting back up and summer activities coming to an end, there is still time for eligible donors to make a difference in the lives of patients this summer. To encourage donations over the Labor Day holiday weekend, all donors who come out to donate blood between August 30 and September 1 will receive a Red Cross Mason jar tumbler, while supplies last. To learn more and

make an appointment to donate blood, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1800-RED CROSS. Wabash County opportunities include: - Tuesday, Aug. 19 from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, 110 N. Cass Street in Wabash. - Saturday, Aug. 23 from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Northfield High School, 154 West 200 North in Wabash.

23 Saint Bernard Catholic Church to hold Sesquicentennial celebration THE PAPER

August 13, 2014

Saint Bernard Parish will be celebrating 150 years as an active Catholic presence in Wabash. The first Catholic Church on Maple Street was the formal beginning of St. Bernard’s in 1864. Since then, the parish has occupied two other church buildings and is currently located on the corner of Cass Street and Sinclair Street. Nineteen priests have served as pastor over the years in a city made famous by the Wabash-Erie Canal and Charles F. Brush’s Arc Light in 1880, making Wabash the first electrically lighted city in the world. Festivities will commence on the Feast of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, the patron saint of the parish on Wednesday, Aug. 20. Mass will be celebrated at 5:30 p.m. The blessing of a time capsule will follow the Mass and St. Bernard Parish children will release blue and yellow commemorative balloons. The time capsule will be prepared as a special project of St. Bernard School students to be locked away for the 200th anniversary of the parish. A casual dinner provided by parishioners Mike and Amy Davis, who own B&K Drive In, will conclude the Feast Day. On Sunday, Aug. 24 at 2 p.m., a special Jubilee Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades, Bishop of the Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese, with concelebrants Fr. Sextus Don, current pastor, five previous pastors, and several other priests, who have graciously accepted an invitation to participate. Special music for the Mass will be provided by parish musicians, cantors, and the adult and children’s choir. The hymns planned for the Preparation of Gifts and Communion were attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux. F o l l o w i n g Communion, the parish will sing an Ave Maria, written by the late Pastor Father Daniel Peil, a former pastor. This is a unique opportunity for the faith family of St. Bernard’s to reflect and reminisce on community events and celebrations and the spiritual growth of

times gone by and to rededicate themselves to renewing the daily quest for spiritual growth through personal involvement and community commitment. Festivities

will conclude with a special Vesper service, written especially for this Jubilee celebration. This year has been marked by other special events such as St.

Bernard youth collecting 150 baby items, (one for each year) which were donated to the local LIFE Center during the month of May. A Parish Cookbook is also in its

Jeanne Robertson returns to Wabash with new stories by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com When she was 19 years old, Jeanne Robertson was named Miss North Carolina. This qualified her for the Miss America Pageant. The exposure offered her the opportunity to speak to many groups of people, and 51 years later, she continues to do what she loves. “I got to make 500 speeches that year and I found out I could make people laugh,” said Robertson. “I was 6 feet 2 inches tall, a basketball player, going around the state for a year, making people laugh. I just never looked back.” This Saturday, Robertson will travel from her home in the south to the Honeywell Center for a comedic performance that everyone can enjoy.

term “humorist.” “They’re in the same family, but they’re cousins. The comedian’s main goal is to get people to laugh at anybody’s expense or any use of language or any type of stories, and when people go to see a comedian at a comedy club, I think they can expect maybe to be attacked in fun,” said Robertson. “I come from the meeting background. You don’t ever want to offend anyone and get the meeting planner in trouble. The humorist wants you to laugh just as much, but we’re leading to a little point. At a convention, my point would be bigger, and at a show, it might be as little as reminding people to look for the humor around them. We want you to laugh just as much, but we weave a longer story, rather than the ‘badabing’ one-liners.” With Ron White headlining the Honeywell Center’s

last comedy show, you can expect that Robertson’s performance to contain vastly different material, aimed at a different audience. Both, however, make appearances on the same Sirius XM station, the Blue Collar Comedy Channel, and Robertson doesn’t at all discredit White for his more crass style of comedy. “That’s what he does. I think he’s hilarious,” said Robertson. “If I were a meeting planner, and I had a keynote address, would I book Ron White? Probably not. If I were going to go to a comedy club, would I go see Ron White? Yes I would, I think he’s hilarious. I like to see people use words and make people laugh. I’ve just chosen to try to please everybody and it’s just two different kinds of humor. We say ‘you can bring your momma or your teenagers and everybody can ride home in the same car without explaining things.’” Robertson’s familyfriendly show in many ways reflects her professional life. While many comedians and musical artists go on tour for months at a time, Robertson travels to and from her home in North Carolina to each show, allowing her to spend most of her time with friends and family, as well as

HUMORIST JEANNE ROBERTSON will perform at the Honeywell Center on Aug. 16. (photo provided) following college sports, which she and her family very much enjoy. “I come home in between shows and go back and forth,” said Robertson. “I’ve been a speaker, a professional humorist for 51 years. When I went viral on YouTube and so forth, theatre shows came my way, I just continued to stay with the same type of schedule.” Unlike many people her age, Robertson did not shy away from the younger generation’s innovative technologies. A few years ago, she garnered a large following on YouTube, after which a Los Angeles television station ran a

story about her with the title, “Grandma Goes Viral.” This exposure opened many doors for the 71year-old. “Let me tell you, my first shows were mimeographed with purple all over your hands. The cassette hadn’t been invented when I started,” said Robertson, who will record her next hourand-a-half performance in September. “They were fascinated by the fact that at my age I have tried to embrace the Internet.” Though her online fame has brought many more ticketed shows to her schedule, she has managed to avoid staying away

from her friends and family for too long. “I couldn’t even imagine going out for a month or two. My grandchildren playing ball, we follow our university,” said Robertson. “It just wouldn’t be any fun at all if you didn’t get to control your own schedule, so we mark days off, and my friends in town know to call Jeanne the minute someone gets engaged and tell her when the wedding will be so she won’t book a show.” Luckily for the Wabash community, Robertson was able to carve out a spot in her schedule for a trip to Wabash this weekend. She performed at the Honeywell Center last year and greatly enjoyed the city. “I walked all around town and saw the elephants at Modoc’s,” said Robertson. “I’m an Auburn grad, and I thought, ‘these people are Alabama people.’ Why in the world are these elephants out here.’ I had never heard the Modoc’s story. It was fascinating to somebody that didn’t know anything about it. I just had a ball, so I’m coming back.” Robertson was quick to assure anyone who saw last year’s show that she’s worth seeing again. “When I say I’m coming back with different stories, I definitely am,” she assured. “If they enjoyed what they saw and heard last time, they can come back for a double dose.” Robertson’s show begins at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 16.

Squire Academy: an alternative educational opportunity by Shaun Tilghman The start of the 2014-15 school year holds special significance for Manchester Community Schools (MCS), as it also marks the opening of Squire Academy, an alternative school program for students who are in need of credit recovery, dropped out, or opted to be homeschooled. Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School (MJSHS) Principal Nancy Alspaugh first introduced the idea for an alternative education venture during the April 1st school board meeting. “We have a need for an alternative educational placement for some of our stu-

dents,” Alspaugh said. “We have students coming into their junior and senior years with credits to make up so that they can get to graduation. We feel we could do a much better job, and offer more [credit recovery] opportunities for students, if we had an actual program with a supervisor.” Alspaugh also stated that 16 students had dropped out to be homeschooled last school year. “Certainly, some of them have gone to a viable program,” she added, “but we also know that many students who say they are withdrawing to be homeschooled have no good options

for their educational program after they leave us. We would ask that they go to our Squire Academy and at least attempt to have a better educational experience than just dropping out of school to be homeschooled.” The school board u n a n i m o u s ly approved her proposal to apply for the A l t e r n a t i v e Education Grant, and now, just four months later, Squire Academy is set to welcome its first participants. M C S Superintendent Dr. Bill Reichhart has also been a big proponent of Squire Academy and what it means for Manchester. “Squire Academy is one of my passions for helping all students succeed in our community,” Dr. Reichhart explained. “I believe that it can play a vital role in helping students in a flexible learning environment succeed when other attempts have failed,” he continued. “We are try-

The setting is smaller, with a maximum of 15 students at a time, and we can truly provide them with the assistance they may need to be successful. “Here at the start, I will be responsible for contacting students and parents regarding enrollment in Squire Academy, and really selling the idea that

it’s going to be a great program. Throughout the year, I will assist the students with their work and celebrate every success they have along the way to receiving a diploma. I will not be ‘teaching’ any classes like I have in the past, but more so overseeing each student’s graduation plans and providing them with as much assistance as needed throughout their courses.” Mobley went on to state that her goal is to do what is in the best interest of each student that walks through the doors. “My position really requires me to build professional relationships with my students so they know

that I want the very best for them in their education,” she added. “I hope to be a motivator, coach, and role model throughout the year so they can understand how important it truly is for them to graduate with a high school diploma and be true assets to society.” Mobley concluded by explaining that with the alternative setting of Squire Academy, four hours constitutes a full day for students. In order to be a part of Squire Academy, students need to go through the application process and sign an initial contract that he/she will abide by the guidelines provided by the program director.

We have looked at other programs that are out there, and we have modeled our program around their successes. I am very excited about this program and I have put my support 100% behind it.” Squire Academy will be housed in the former computer lab of the junior high building and has a separate entrance near the gym doors.

A few years ago my husband and I bought a tandem bike. Little did we know when we purchased our bicycle that it would take us on so many adventures. On July 23 we set off on an amazing journey that would test our cycling Angie Bear ability. With a few articles of clothing, some close friends and a satchel full of trail mix , Slim Jims and water, our amazing journey began. We started in St. Ignance in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. From there we peddled our way to Newberry then all the way up to White fish Point. We passed through little fishing towns with names such as Trout Lake and Paradise. We stopped at Tanquamenon Falls where I stood in awe at the breath taking view. Tired but determined to go on we rode along Lake Superior to Sault St. Marie.Soon we were off again to a little town called Detour along Lake Huron and finally back to our starting point, St. Ignance. I couldn’t believe we had biked a total of 323 miles! Each night we would stop at a little dive in the middle of absolutely nowhere and have dinner. Every night we had fresh white fish cooked every way possible and it was deli-

cious! Once again, I am reminded how fortunate I really am.Yep, I could be a Yooper. No problem. I think you will agree, this recipe for Lemon Grilled Salmon is a keeper. Lemon Grilled Salmon 1/2 teaspoon dill weed 1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 salmon fillet ( 1-1/2 pounds) 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons chicken broth 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 tablespoons soy sauce 3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions 1 small lemon,thinly sliced 2 onion slices, separated into rings Sprinkle dill, lemon- pepper, salt and garlic powder over salmon. Place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the brown sugar, broth, oil, soy sauce and green onions. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning once. Drain and discard marinade.Place salmon skin side down on grill over medium heat. Arrange the lemon and onion slices over the top. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Labor of Love concert to benefit SPLASH Pack a picnic lunch, bring your lawn chair, and visit Warvel Park in North Manchester on Labor Day weekend to enjoy an evening of music, storytelling and goodtime fun as the community comes together for the “Labor of Love” concert. The concert will be held on Saturday, Aug. 30 between the hours of 4-8 p.m. and will serve to raise awareness of SPLASH and its mission. Scheduled to appear are: Elijah Blue, 4th & Walnut, The Murphy Wrecks, and positive rapper, Marshall Love. “We’ve got every-

thing from rock-n-roll to contemporary Christian to rap music – something for everyone for an end of the summer SPLASH party!” reports Pastor J.P. Freeman of the North Manchester Congregational Christian Church. “Since many of us have played together over the years, the highlight of the show will be an ‘all bands jam’ featuring every performer – this will be a great show!” Performers include Larry Tobias, Toby Tobias, Charles Lovett, J.P. Freeman, Evan Perkins, T.L. Smith, Bob, Bobby &

Johnny Fields, Jerry Coplea, John Helm and Jerry Stover. SPLASH was organized to encourage funding of the Strauss Peabody Aquatic and Fitness Center Endowment.

Michael Callahan serves as the group’s president and Jane Bellinger serves as the treasurer. The family-friendly

concert is free and is sponsored by SPLASH, North M a n c h e s t e r Congregational Christian Church, and Shepherd’s Chevy Olds.

Habitat For Humanity homeowner pays off her mortgage

HABITAT PARTNER HOMEOWNER Barb Wood officially became the first Wabash County Habitat homeowner to pay off their mortgage. (photo provided)

On Friday Aug. 1, Habitat Partner Homeowner Barb Wood came into the office to pay her monthly house payment. This was a special payment in that she actually wrote a bigger check than usually so that she could pay off her mortgage. This is a very exciting occasion, not just for Barb, but for Habitat as well. Barb is the first Wabash County Habitat Partner Homeowner to pay off her no-profit, zero interest mortgage. To mark this momentous occasion, Barb shredded her mortgage in the office s h r e d d e r . Congratulations to Barb and thank you to the community for making Habitat for Humanity’s efforts to turn the dream of homeownership into reality! In 1994 Barbara and her three children were living in the basement of her mother’s home. Her pastor took Barb’s sons on a weeklong Habitat build project. When he returned, he encouraged Barb to contact the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Wabash County. With some trepidation, she did make the call and completed the lengthy application. On March 5, 1995, Barb received a phone call, “I can still remember that day clearly,” Wood said. “The man on the other end said

he was calling to tell me that I would be Wabash County Habitat for Humanity’s next homeowner. I hung up and asked my mom, ‘Did he say they were going to build a house for me?’ I called right back and he said yes you are going to be the next family we will build a house with. It was too good to be true.” She then went to her pastor’s home to share the exciting news and thank him for encouraging her to apply to Habitat’s program. March 5 happens to be Barb’s birthday; she received a birthday present in 1995 that changed her and her children’s life. In September that same year, Barb and her children moved from her mother’s basement to their new three bedroom home in North Manchester. When asked what impact being a Habitat Homeowner had on her and her children’s life, Barb replied “I don’t have words to express how grateful I am. I can’t describe what it is like to buy my own home; it meant safety and security for my children.” Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit Christian ministry that provides affordable homeownership opportunities to low-income residents. Habitat Partner Homeowners purchase their homes from Habitat through

Historic Forks of the Wabash to hold senior day The Historic Forks of the Wabash announces plans for the annual Senior Day to be held Tuesday, Aug. 19 at the Historic Park located at 3011 West Park Drive from 9 a.m. to noon. The park is located just west of Huntington on US 24. Senior citizens are invited to attend activities held in the Visitors Center and throughout the park. In the Visitors Center, Ginger Karns will entertain guests with

Native American music played on her collection of wooden flutes. Nineteenth century shoemaking will be demonstrated by Bill Rapp, as he sets up shop in the pioneer area of the museum. Demonstrations will include Sister Loretta Bauer - wool spinning, Karen Eltzroth - apple carving, and Cameron Hoffman - chair caning. Rich McConnell, a member of the Champion Hill Camp 17, Sons of the

Union will present Civil War songs throughout the morning. Permanent exhibits in the Visitors Center museum include a Miami Indian village scene, a settler’s home, and artifacts from the early nineteenth century. The canal room includes a mini “blab” schoolroom, Wabash & Erie Canal display, and a collection of arrowheads and points. Randy Bellamy, a French Fur Trader

historic re-enactor, will be in the Trading Post. This is the newest building on the grounds and it is located on the west side of the park. The log building has been restored and equipped to give visitors an accurate picture of how “shopping” was done along the Wabash in the early 1800’s. The Chief ’s House, a log school house and the 1847 Nuck log home will also be staffed with volunteer inter-

College guide declares Manchester a “Best in the Midwest” The Princeton Review, a leading guide for college-bound students, has once again included Manchester University in its 2015 Best in the Midwest. The list was released Tuesday. The University, celebrating its 125th year, is a perennial on the regional list. Manchester University annually ranks among the best in the

nation and the Midwest for its academic programs, commitment to volunteer service and as a great place to work. It has been listed as a “best college” by U.S. News & World Report for 19 consecutive years. The Princeton Review gives the University high ratings each year for academic rigor and preparing students for the real

world. The Princeton Review does not rank its Regional Best colleges. The 158 “Best in the Midwest” are in 12 states: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Manchester University, with campuses in North Manchester

and Fort Wayne, offers more than 60 areas of academic study to 1,400 students in undergraduate programs, a Master of Athletic Training and a four-year professional Doctor of Pharmacy. Learn more about the private, northern Indiana school at www.manchester.edu.

preters. The park contains five gardens maintained by the Master Gardeners of Huntington County. To the east of the Chief ’s house is a sun-loving Prairie Garden and just north of his home is the Kitchen garden. A large Heirloom Garden overlooks the floodplain and the Woodlands Garden is tucked among the trees between the school and the Nook House. A Quilt Garden is added each year to challenge your knowledge of quilting squares. If it is not raining, Master Gardeners will be tending to the gardens on Tuesday and will be happy to answer questions about the plants growing on grounds. The Historic Forks has grown since its early days. The notfor-profit is an offshoot of the Junior Historical Society of

Huntington County. The primary purpose was to save the home of Chiefs Jean Baptiste Richardville and his son-in-law Francis LaFontaine. The house was built in 1834 at the fork of the Wabash River and the Little River, which runs from Eagle Marsh in Allen County to Huntington. The home was restored and volunteers began to give history tours to fourth grade children of the area in the late 1980’s. Over the years, other buildings and grounds have been added. The Forks of the Wabash, Inc was incorporated with the mission to educate through storytelling to save and protect the history of the Forks area. In 2009, the board of directors entered into a lease agreement with the city of Huntington and the first leg of the Huntington River

Greenway, Forks of the Wabash Trailhead was constructed through the park along the river. The Greenway includes the section of the towpath that connects the h i s t o r i c buildings. Volunteers staff the tours and do park maintenance. Tours are by appointment unless there is a special activity for the surrounding community. The Visitors Center is located on US 24 just west of Huntington is handicap accessible. Entrance to the historic buildings requires ability to walk up and down steps. All the buildings will be open. Guests are encouraged to explore at their own pace. Volunteers will be happy to answer any questions you have. Refreshments will be served in the Visitors Center.

Haywoods guide “Breaking Trail” host on turtle hunt... continued from page 16

Lost Lake and the Indian folklore, which was that they would send hunters in there and they wouldn’t come back,” Bill continued. “They were really excited about coming to hunt that lake with us, so we saved it until they got here. Our technique is trapping turtles, so we set a few traps just before they arrived and we caught quite a few to show them. Those turtles were going to be used for educational purposes, but they did a lot of filming around the lake trying to record Coyote during a ‘capture scene’.

“Between the cloud cover and the foliage and the lily pads, he was unsuccessful in finding a turtle to capture while they were here. So, they plan to return in the spring to try again before the lily pads are up. They’re very truthful in their filming in that they only want a capture scene where Coyote actually caught the turtle in the scene. They didn’t want to use one that we caught and act like he caught it or anything like that – they were going to do it right or not do it at all. So, it goes to show how honest ‘Breaking Trail’ is as a show,

and we thought that was very cool.” Coyote said he was intrigued when he heard that they were catching “monster snapping turtles” in the area and he had to come check it out. “It was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed learning about Bill and Canaan’s technique while watching them check their traps,” Coyote added. “I was impressed with the turtles they caught in their traps, but unfortunately I was not as successful using my method,” he explained. “I prefer to catch the turtles naturally – with my bare

hands – but I don’t have any problems with the way they catch and release the turtles because it was all done in a very safe manner. Coming during this time of year was somewhat of an experiment for us, but I’m determined to come back in the spring and catch a monster snapper with my bare hands so we can feature it on the show.” Both Bill and Canaan had nothing but positive things to say about their guests, which included Coyote’s crew: Mark Laivins, producer and cameraman; Melissa

Feldner, producer and photographer; and Chance Ross, director of photography. “For them to want to come here and hunt snapping turtles with us was just an unreal experience,” Canaan said. “When we found out Discovery wanted to come here and do this, I thought it was something the whole community could be excited about,” Bill added. “We were pretty much behind-thescenes guys; we took them to the lake, we guided them through the area, and we showed them our technique. They were

very nice people, very down-to-earth type people. It’s pretty cool that they came to hunt with us, and even more so that they want to come back again in the spring.” Coyote echoed the positivity with many kind words of his own regarding his hosts, the community, and the hunting area. “The size of the turtles that they are catching there is proof that the ecosystem is awesome for producing turtles of epic proportions,” he said. “Lost Lake is basically the perfect habitat because it is virtually free of pol-

lution – it’s one of the purest locations I’ve ever been to.” “Overall, it was great being there, and the entire community was very welcoming,” Coyote concluded. “I really enjoyed getting to work with Bill and Canaan, and I know my entire team enjoyed it as well. It’s really great to be able to form a friendship with people that share your interests, who not long ago you were just contacting for the first time. We’re all really looking forward to getting together in the spring and trying this again.”

Resident asks about dead tree removal Dear editor, I would like to know something regarding dead trees. Does the City of Wabash have an ordinance that requires their disposal? As we drive around town, they loom out as lurking killers, and they are. A tree or a branch from a dead tree hitting a person or car filled with people is a potential killer. Maybe it has never happened, but it’s going to one of these days. Therefore, I recommend an ordinance covering dead trees be instituted, or if there is one, better enforcement of it started at once. Sincerely, Bernie Dillard Mr. Dillard, We looked into this issue to see if we couldn’t find an answer to your question. To do so, we looked into the City of Wabash’s Code of Ordinances. There is, in fact, at least one ordinance dealing with this issue. It can be found in Chapter 7,

Mike Olinger Sales Representative

Article 6, Section 7104, Part B: All decayed, dead or broken trees, and all dead, decayed or broken parts of trees, which are unsightly and liable to fall or be blown down, and which are standing near any sidewalk in this city, shall be removed by the owner or occupant or person having charge of this adjacent property or the property on which same are located. Part C of this section details specific regulations regarding trees near roads and sidewalks. Part D explains what might happen should someone fail to comply, including a notice from the city. Failure to take action after five days is considered an offense against the city, and the landowner could face consequences. For further clarity on the issue, we contacted city attorney Doug Lehman and asked him about the issue. This is what he had to say regarding liability:

Cell 574-930-0534

“It all depends on where the tree is and which way it falls,” said Lehman. “Basically, as I understand the law…if the property owner knows it’s a dead tree and it falls, the property owner can be liable for the dead tree falling. “If the dead tree falls on a public way, such as a highway or a public street, [and] if the city has been made aware of the dead tree, there is the possibility that the city could also be liable in that situation. If the city is not aware of the tree and it’s condition, then the city really couldn’t be held liable. “If the city is aware of it and has prioritized it, and has determined that there are other trees that are in greater need of attention, and has a program that addresses those trees, then the fact that one that wasn’t as great [of a threat] fell, the city is probably not going to have liability in that situation. “If it’s a tree that’s

on city property, then if the city is aware of it and knows about it, then the city could be liable, but once again, the courts recognize that cities have limited resources and don’t have the resources to go and fix every single sidewalk and cut down every single bad tree, so as long as the city has a program, and that program is being followed, then if it was not a high priority tree, then the city is probably not going to be liable. “It could be a nuisance. It could also render a premises unsafe possibly. If the premises is unsafe, then the city could take action to cut the tree down and then put a lean on the property for cutting the tree down. “But if a tree is bad and it’s going to fall on the neighbor, that’s an issue between the two neighbors. It’s not the city’s job to go around a cut down every bad tree that might fall on someone else’s property. Everybody’s got to

look out for their own wellbeing as well. “The board of works did pass a policy whereby…the city has been divided up into regions and the building commissioner is supposed to go around and identify, in one region per year, and identify…the ones most needing attention and prioritize them. [The building commissioner] will then try to work with the property owner. The city has a policy where we will pay for part of the removal if the property owner will pay for

the rest of it. If the property owner doesn’t do that, then the city will do it and charge the property owner for the whole tree removal. We’ve appropriated money in the budgets to do tree removal, and we’ve done the same thing with sidewalks.” In summary, there is an ordinance in place to address the issue. If there were a dead tree on a property, the owner of that property would be wise to remove it if he or she wishes to avoid action from the city. If

the tree were to fall, the landowner could face charges from the owner of any land on which it fell, whether it’s the city or a private citizen. A landowner could find himself or herself in further trouble if the falling tree injured someone. Thank you for your question, Mr. Dillard. Perhaps your letter will move landowners to action and reduce the risk of injury to Wabash citizens. Sincerely, Eric Stearley Editor

Manchester triples the number of books in FunFest giveaway M a n c h e s t e r University is giving away 3,000 books to children and adults in downtown North Manchester on Friday, triple the number it gave away at last year’s FunFest by the River. This year’s giveaway begins at 4 p.m. Friday. No books will be available on Thursday or Saturday of the festival. “Last year, they all went in one night,” said Carole MillerPatrick, director of M a n c h e s t e r University’s Center for Service Opportunities. “Our goal is very simple: to increase literacy.” The books, provided through a literacy partnership with Better World Books, span all reading levels. They will all be given away free at the

M a n c h e s t e r University booth on Market Street. “These are books for children and adults in our community. They may take one or several. For many children these will be their very first books to own all by themselves,” MillerPatrick said. Over the past year, M a n c h e s t e r University employees, students and neighbors have deposited thousands of books in a Better World Books bin behind the Administration Building on College Avenue in North Manchester. Better World collects and ships the books to communities around the world. It also sells them at extremely reduced prices in its Mishawaka, Ind., out-

let store and recycles unusable or damaged books. Learn more about Better World Books at betterworldb o o k s . c o m <http://www.betterworldbooks.com/> .
