ISP investigating death at jail By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

The Indiana State Police is investigating the July 8 death of an inmate at the Wabash County Jail. The inmate, Bradley Creasey, 42, Wabash, was arrested early July 8. He was taken to the county jail, where jail officers found his body later in the day. Sheriff Bob Land and the Wabash

County Sheriff ’s Department has not released any information on Creasey’s death. Land referred any questions to the ISP. Creasy was arrested by North Manchester Police after leading officers on a lengthy chase, allegedly in a stolen vehicle. “It was a several-mile pursuit,” NM Police Chief Jim Kirk said, “and he eventually ditched the car in a bean field.”

Kirk said that officers allegedly saw Creasey, for whom the county had issued an arrest warrant, driving a vehicle allegedly stolen from Roann. Officer Devin Bechtold initiated a pursuit around 2:45 a.m. that lasted until around 6 a.m. Officer Karsten Kersey and Reserve Officer Cody Cook were also involved. Following Creasey's arrest by NMPD, he was incarcerated in Wabash County

Jail on the warrant and charges of resisting arrest and possession of stolen property. According to Indiana State Police, that same day he was found dead in his cell. “As of right now, the coroner hasn't determined the cause of death,” ISP Sgt. Tony Slocum said, “but evidence strongly suggests that it was suicide by hanging.” Slocum said that the Wabash County (continued on page 4)

Celebration helps raise funds for Leader Dogs for the Blind By Josh Sigler Jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Midwest Eye Consultants and Leader Dogs for the Blind developed a relationship in 2017 that has really blossomed. Leader Dogs for the Blind, based in Michigan, holds an event called Bark and Brew, a street festival of sorts with dog-centered activities and food vendors. That gave Midwest Eye Consultants the idea to start its own Bark and Brew in Wabash, with all net proceeds going to Leader Dogs for the

Blind. “Last year we started small and had the dog show and a few other events, and we wanted to make it a little bigger this year,” said Cara Teel of Midwest Eye Consultants. “We enjoy supporting them any way we can. This is just one way we can do that.” Saturday’s Bark and Brew centerpiece was once again the Bow Wow dog contest. Twentyfour dogs in all strutted their stuff for judges. In the end Dominic the Doberman Pinscher took best of show. (continued on page 4)

Department of Homeland Security, so that the IDHS can map the locations of the incidents. Naloxone has been used roughly 25 times since the beginning of 2018 in Wabash County. Fourteen cases of Narcan usage were reported in 2014, 36 in 2015, 43 in 2016, and 43 in 2017. “Naloxone (also known as Narcan) is a proven life-saver” said Jim McClelland for Drug Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement. “This map gives first responders a visual asset to help them deploy resources. It’s one tool we can use to attack the drug epidemic and promote recovery – and important focus of Gov. Eric Holcomb’s administration.” Local stake holders aren’t sure how effective the map will be in determining anything other than where the naloxone was administrated, and are perplexed at how the map actually works. The map doesn’t differentiate between Naloxone administered to overdose patients and Naloxone administered to those who had some other condition, rendering the Naloxone useless. “There’s too many

unknowns,” Wabash Mayor Scott Long said. “A first responder can show up to a person who is in distress, having trouble breathing, and unfortunately, a sign of the times is we administer Naloxone. They may assume they overdosed, and maybe they didn’t overdose, maybe it was some other medical issue. “You give them the Naloxone first. So, if we’re only counting doses of Naloxone administered, how do you quantify which one was to combat an opioid overdose? “These stats could be skewed.” Long has had conversations with folks like McClelland, Senator Jim Merritt and Senator Andy Zay about this very issue. “If we’re only counting the doses of Narcan that we administer, some of the doses are administered to people who didn’t need it just because of the circumstances,” Long said. “You assume the worst when you show

up at the scene. You give them a dose of Narcan, and maybe they OD’ed, and maybe they didn’t. That’s why Long says he doesn’t like the stats on the Narcan. “I think Narcan is the good thing to have to save a life,” He said. It’s a tool like a defibrillator or anything else our first responders carry. Any tool we have that can save lives is a good thing.” In fact, almost all involved agree that Naloxone is the positive tool to help fight the war on drugs. “If you save one life, it’s worth it,” North Manchester Police chief Jim Kirk said. “And it’s not only for the people who overdose on the drugs they use, we also have it for our own safety too, because we had an officer in our department who overdosed when he was testing some, and Narcaned himself. It’s something we have to live with all these different drugs they have

out there.” The Indiana Commission to Combat drug abuse explains the Naloxone Administration Heat Map was developed through a partnership between the Indiana Management Performance and the IDHS. “As we continue to battle the opioid epidemic from all angles, this new tool will both inform our first responders and help identify general locations that have seen an increase in Naloxone delivery,” said State EMS Medical Director Dr. Michael Kaufmann. “Indiana EMS providers and first responders deliver this life saving medication every day, and the data produced through this mapping tool will help to guide the strategy of Gov. Holcomb’s Next Level Recovery agenda.” The Naloxone Administration Heat Map may be viewed on the Next Level Recovery website at https://www.in.gov/r ecovery/1054.htm.

June. According to a probable cause affidavit by Wabash City Police Department Det. Jason Mooney, WPD officers responded to a theft report in the 300 block of West Maple Street in Wabash on June 21. Mooney wrote that the complainant reported several antiques as stolen, and identified Creasey as a possible suspect. WPD Officer Larry Long checked with local secondhand stores, Mooney wrote,

and found items matching the stolen items' descriptions at the Crow's Nest. Long sent a picture of the items to Mooney by phone, and the complainant confirmed that the items belonged to them. Mooney spoke with Tom Boyll, proprietor of the Crow's Nest, the following day. According to the affidavit, Boyll confirmed that he purchased the items from Creasey, and provided Mooney with a photograph of a sales receipt dated June 7,

one of the items and Creasey's driver's license. Mooney also wrote that Creasey allegedly sold gold items to Wabash Valley Prospectors. After obtaining photographs of items purchased by that establishment from Creasey, Mooney showed the complainant's wife, who said that at least one of the gold items belonged to their daughter. Mooney noted that the gold items had been melted down

already. On July 2, the complainant provided a sworn, video-recorded statement, during which time they estimated the value of missing items at around $5,000, and said that they wished to pursue charges. The affidavit included details from a 2017 case, in which Creasey pleaded guilty to one felony count of theft. He received a sentence of 1 1/2 years July 6, 2017, all suspended and to be served on probation.

Court documents show that Creasey was previously arrested for probation violation around May 7, and ordered to serve 90 days on home detention or work release, subject to program approval. On June 5, Creasey requested “additional time to get hooked up to [electronic home detention],” and was given until July 13 to do so. Court documents show that the two pending theft charges were dismissed July 13.

The dogs are all well behaved and the owners are excited to showcase and show off their dogs.” Patrick Blake of Leader Dogs for the Blind served as a judge for the dog contest, and was humbled by the support from the public as well as Midwest Eye Consultants. “It’s amazing to see,” he said “Midwest Eye

Families came in with any other animals they may already have and begin the feeling out process to see if the adoptee is a good fit. There’s a single page adoption sheet, an adoption fee, and patrons can take the animal home the same day. “It can be very fun,” said Sam Osborn of the Wabash County Animal Shelter. “Meeting new people and being out in the public for people to see us.

County moves forward on new jail phone system By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

After a few monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; delay, the county is moving forward with two contracts related to a new phone system for the county jail. Back in May, the Wabash County Commissioners gave Sheriff Bob Land permission to proceed with a contract with Mitel for a new phone system, at a cost of $1,128.40 per month. County Attorney Steve Downs requested to review the contract. In July, Land brought forth a contract with Intrasect Technologies for installation of the system, which also includes updating of the jailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telecommunications infrastructure. The original price of $11,661 dropped to $9,910 after a review by Intrasect. The monthly cost is about $250 more than what the jail currently pays, Land said, but allows for replacement of an outmoded phone system that can no longer be repaired. The commissioners approved both contracts, pending some language change in the Mitel contract, at their Monday, Aug. 22 meeting. Intrasectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jim Deniston provided further information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The infrastructure at the jail is not allowing us to install the new POE phones, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installing the new POE switches that would get them up and have proper infrastructure to power the phones,â&#x20AC;? he said regarding the nearly $10,000 quote. C o u n t y Coordinator/HR Director Jim Dils noted that the Mitel phones are being rented. Downs asked if the county had other options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are other ones; the cost is right around the same,â&#x20AC;? Deniston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We prefer the Mitel; it does include support with it â&#x20AC;Ś there will be a button on the phone [for direct support].â&#x20AC;? Downs asked Deniston to try to get Mitel to change a provision of the contract stating that any litiga-

tion must take place in California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do business in California; we do business in Indiana,â&#x20AC;? Downs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they want to do business in Indiana, then they should be subject to our rules and regulations.â&#x20AC;? Also at the commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting: County Highway Superintendent John Martin presented, and the commissioners approved, road cut permits for 800 East north of 800 North. Martin also presented a construction contract with Primco, Inc., for bridge 155 carrying Meridian Road over Clear Creek, north of North Manchester. Primco bid at $470,047.56. Land provided the weekly jail report, saying that Wabash County Jail had 95 inmates, with an additional 37 in Miami County, three in Blackford County, seven in Elkhart County and one in Department of Corrections safe keep. Land also asked for, and received, permission to ask the Wabash County Council for various additional appropriations, including one to purchase a new vehicle for two additional officers that the council allowed him to hire.

Coroner gets new office By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com After more than two years of searching, the county commissioners approved the purchase of a new home for the county coroner’s office. Commissioner Barry Eppley announced the purchase near the end of the commissioner’s Monday, Aug. 27, meeting. “Over the past several months, we’ve been working to establish a workspace for the coroner,” he said, “and at this time we need to make a purchase of a building for the workspace of the coroner.” Eppley motioned to purchase 443 McCarty St. in Wabash for $73,000,

requesting an additional $5,000 for purchase-related costs. “We’ll present to county council this evening, just to inform them of what we’ve decided,” he said. “Next will be making arrangements to get the coroner’s equipment moved into the building. The building is 1,800 square feet – quite small, but a little larger than absolutely necessary for the coroner.” The facility will include space for autopsies and body storage, as well as an office and records storage space. “We’ve learned lately that we need to be more diligent in providing a space for the coroner to work through and make sure that there’s a

‘the paper’

place to do the business,” Eppley said, referencing a pending official misconduct charge against former coroner Carol (Whitesel) Nose, arrested in early August for allegedly failing to turn over official documents when she left office. The purchase comes two months after the council rejected a $1 million proposal to purchase a facility to house the coroner and the county health department, and possibly bringing in a drug rehabilitation program as well. According to Commissioner Scott Givens, the commissioners brought the topic before the council due to council concerns about the project. “That was a courtesy; we didn’t really have to ask them. We’re in charge of buying buildings, not them,” Givens said. “Since we were trying to a lot of different things there with the health department moving, a drug rehab situation – and

to go. “She could actually move in once closing occurs in early to mid-September. The work won’t be done before then, but she’ll be able to start placing and planning in more detail almost immediately.” Other news from the commissioners’ meeting included a proposal from County Treasurer LuAnn Layman to accept credit card payments, and the weekly jail report from Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department Chief Deputy Tyler Guenin. Layman presented

an agreement to receive credit card payments both inoffice and online. She said that there will be a 2.75 percent fee associated with each transaction, but $3.95 per transaction for Visa debit cards. “We would like to have it implemented this fall,” Layman said. Givens noted that the flat fee for Visa debit cards seemed odd, and requested that Layman research that further. “You need to double check that,” Givens said. “I don’t want to end up on the short end of the stick if

someone comes in and pays $10,000 in property taxes ...” County Attorney Steve Downs also expressed concern about that part of the contract, and said that he would work with Layman to further review the contract. Eppley said that the commissioners would consider approving the idea once the contract was ready. Guenin said that Wabash County Jail had 93, with 44 in Miami County, three in Blackford County and six in Elkhart County.

we talked to council enough, we knew they had a problem with it.” Since May, the county has reviewed a number of factors about the coroner’s situation, including whether other offices should be located in the same facility. “We’re glad to have a specific location,” Eppley said, “but the delay was not all bad … I think we’re ending up with as good of a solution as what we brought in May. “This is a coroner’s space only; it doesn’t address the other issues that we were attempting to solve with the other project, so we will still need to be working on the health department relocation, and the drug treatment will be set aside for the time being.” Coroner Suzie Lewis will be able to move in as soon as the county closes on the property. “We will have to do a little modification to the building,” Eppley said, “... but it’s essentially ready

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

Water Conservation districts (SWCD), supported by Wo m e n 4 t h e L a n d , hosted a conservation discussion and field tour for women farmland owners on Aug. 1 at the Wabash Historical Museum. There were close to

30 participants that attended the event. The morning began with coffee and registration. All the ladies in the room proceeded to introduce themselves, share their farming history and where they stand

today. Once introductions were complete there was a better understanding of the verity of ladies in attendance. There was a diverse group in attendance, from farmers who grow their own cover crops to absentee landowners that try to manage their acreage from long d i s t a n c e s . Regardless of their levels of experience, the key topic of discussion was “Conservation Planning: Leasing Trends, Land values and Cost-Share Opportunities.” The topic of farming finances was then discussed by speaker Julie Matthys with Halderman Farm Management. The new farm bill was highlighted by Lisa Wooten, Howard County Executive Director with the Farm Service Agency. Lunch was provided by Halderman Real Estate & Farm (continued on page 7)

Wabash Moose help Blessings in a Backpack By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

In May, Megan Henderson presented a program on Blessings in a Backpack to members of the Wabash Moose Lodge 1195 and the Women of the Moose 878. On Tuesday, Aug. 21, the groups presented Henderson, the local Blessings in a Backpack coordinator, $1,000 for the organization. “Their generous donation will provide food for the weekends to 10 local students for the entire school year,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. Blessings in a Backpack, a non-profit organization that provides food for the weekend to school

children who qualify for free or reduced lunches, began in 2008. Jenny Wilson, the former program coordinator, brought the program to Wabash in 2012. She resigned earlier this year and was replaced by Henderson. In the 2017-18 school year, the Wabash Blessings program provided 550 bags of foot to local school children at Southwood Elementary, O.J. N e i g h b o u r s Elementary and Metro North Elementary schools. Food bags include breakfast items such as cereal or oatmeal, foods that can be warmed, such as soup, canned pasta or mac and cheese cups, fruit, juice, pudding, snacks, popcorn and a variety of crackers and cookies. Students with food

allergies receive special bags that accommodate their dietary needs. This year, Sharp Creek Elementary School students are in the program, as are all city and county preschoolers. “The Wabash Blessings in a Backpack program successfully operates with 65 volunteers,” Henderson said. “These amazing, hardworking volunteers help with prep work, packing, delivering to schools, fundraising, food pricing, ordering and arranging the pick-up of multiple pallets of food at local grocers.” It costs $100 to feed one student for the school year. “There are many ways individuals, businesses and organizations can help sup-

port Blessings in a Backpack locally,” Henderson said. “Sponsoring a child, a classroom which has between five and 10 qualifying students, or a food item, for example, $60 a week provides granola bars for all 550 students, are some options. “Providing funding for fresh fruit for a week, month or school year would be a possibility and also appreciated.” Donations can be made out to Blessings in a Backpack, with Wabash, Indiana written in the memo line. They can be mailed to Megan Henderson, PO Box 65, Somerset, IN 46984. Donations also can be made at w w w. b l e s s i n g s i n abackpack.org. Those donating on line should specify Wabash, Ind., as the recipient.

Frustration, joy, uncertainty, pain, struggle, failure and success are all there. People who enter the competitive arena soon realize that there is much more to competition than simply learning the physical skills. In the final analysis, every athletic contest is a contest of control, control of the delicate mind-body connection. I have competed in many sports, but none tests the mind-body connection more than the sport of tennis. Mental toughness simply is focus on the moment, the process, not the achieving of an end result expected by yourself or others. Just like in life as in competition, you should savor the moment.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

Peabody Retirement Community welcomes new pastor By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — David Crowley sat in a lot of meetings, and realized he had more to do for more people. “I asked myself, ‘Why am I in so many committee meetings and not as [doing] as much worship, Bible study and visits?’” he said. Enter Peabody R e t i r e m e n t Community, and Crowley said that he found that job that he was looking for as pastor. “This fits my interest,” Crowley said. “As

I’m getting older, aging has gotten of more interest in me, and I didn’t think my resume would get past the first round, and I got the job pretty quickly.” Crowley turns 64 in September. He noted that some residents at Peabody are younger than him, but also that there is a generation of residents older than him. A pastor for more than 30 years, Crowley stressed two fundamental issues with his new position: “How can we help people die well … and I realize that sounds like a misstatement; and how do we help the residents live their best lives,

DAVID CROWLEY even if they need some assistance? “We should do everything to give them a helping hand. That’s appealing to me.” As pastor at Peabody, Crowley has a full schedule that goes beyond Sunday

services. “Sunday is a big worship day,” he said. “We have five services, and that’s one of the things that attracted me to [Peabody],” he said. “I have opportunities to cater to the needs of our people [here].” Services include one in the Memory Center, and one in Evergreen which has more seriously ill people, that Crowley explained were simpler worship services. Then, different units worship, as well as the overall service in the main chapel. “It’s a falsehood to only talk to people about blessings if their minds and bod-

ies were working,” Crowley said. “They wouldn’t be here and it doesn’t do them any good to deny it.” Residents experience various chapel services throughout the week, with four services on Tuesdays, three on Thursdays in different living units. “Every person that comes get prayed for i n d i v i d u a l l y, ” Crowley said. “We really emphasize integration; body, mind, feelings and spiritual life can all contribute to the quality of life.” Crowley said that this is his first time working in a retirement community.

One topic Crowley focuses on is grief, which he said struck him as important spiritual and social. “Over time, I’ve put together a years’ worth of daily devotional essays for the grieving,” he said. “So, each one starts with a passage, and I talk about it in terms of different elements of grief, and that’s

important for a couple of reasons. “A lot of people here may be in active grief because their spouse died,” he continued. “Some may be here because they are in that awful limbo where they are in assisted living, but their spouse may be in the Memory Center, and they are seeing them disappear, yet they are still here. “That’s an awful road to travel.” Crowley said that he is excited for his journey at Peabody in helping people. “We aren’t here for us,” he said. “We are here for their needs.”

We’ve gotten scorecards before. “We even bought eye black for the kids one year.” The equipment donation, he said, equals about $2,500. “We try to get what we need the most and what we use the most,” Dillon said.

“The group’s impressive record includes a façade grant program, a revolving loan fund to aid in attracting businesses, events that regularly bring people downtown, and a fearless willingness to buy and turn around dilapidated historic buildings,” said Randall Shepard, former Indiana Supreme Court chief justice and Indiana Landmarks’ honorary chairman and head of the awards panel. WMI Executive Director Steve Downs is expected to accept the award on behalf of the organization. “We position ourselves to handle inquiries about our community and leap to respond when an opportunity comes along,” he said. “Right now, we have four historic buildings undergoing significant renovation and feelers out on a fifth. Wabash Marketplace bought two of them. We found the right developer and sold one and partnered with a developer on the other.” In addition to

accepting the award, Downs is expected to issue an invitation to visit Wabash. “Come on First Friday, spend the night at the Charley Creek Inn, visit Modoc’s for your wake-up coffee and browse the Saturday morning Farmer’s Market,” he said. “Want to open a business in a historic building downtown? We’ll help you with that.” Also being honored at the organization’s annual meeting in Indianapolis will be Stanley Madison of Princeton and the Porter County Building Trades Corporation. Madison will receive the Williamson Prize for outstanding individual leadership in preservation. In the 1990s, Indiana Landmarks President Marsh Davis said, Madison helped rescue the Lyles Station School from a 10 Most Endangered wrecking ball to a museum that has received national attention. Madison is chair of the Lyles Station Historic Preservation

Corp., leads tours of the school, manages special events, plants the garden, recruits volunteers and steers the group to achieve a master plan for the site. Visitors to the museum learn how free blacks built a thriving farming community in the 1850s in a restricted and segregated era. The Porter County Building Trades Corporation, led by Jon Groth, will receive the Servaas Award in the youthserving category for savings Valparaiso’s 1912 depot and turning it into a learning lab for students in the county’s vocational program. When the Canadian National Railroad sought a permit to demolish the building in 2014, Groth raised money to move the structure an eighth of a mile along the tracks to the school. Students worked three years to restore the building, and it opened this year as the Hair Depot, a classroom for the vocational school’s cosmetology program.

Eyesore turned into thing of beauty Old tree stump becomes yard statue By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A potential eyesore along North Miami Street is being turned into a thing of beauty, thanks to homeowner Rod Morrison. Morrison commissioned custom wood carver Ryan Frauhiger to turn a dead tree stump in his front yard into a statue featuring a bald eagle, three racoons and a squirrel. For the last two weeks, weather permitting, Frauhiger has been atop a scaffolding at Morrison’s home, either carving the creatures into the stump or staining and painting portions of the statute. Morrison said his tree was dead, noting limbs and branches were constantly falling to the ground. He knew it had to come down, but before it did, he asked the crew felling the tree to leave a portion of it standing so he could create the statue. About 15 feet of the tree remains in Morrison’s front yard.

By turning the trunk into a statute, Morrison said, he feels as if he is giving new life to the tree. He began telling coworkers of his plan, and asked if anyone knew of an artisan who could help him. A co-worker turned him on to Frauhiger, who owns Forrest Carvings in Bluffton. Morrison contacted Frauhiger and the two collaborated on the design. Frauhiger, a former art teacher, said he comes to the site and takes photos of the stump. He then traces over it on paper, adding designs to it. That drawing is then shared with the customer and any desired changes can be done on the paper before work begins on the tree. He said when he saw the tree, the idea of the eagle came to mind. He then spoke with Morrison and asked what he envisioned, and Morrison told him he liked eagles, racoons and other wildlife. Frauhiger began Morrison’s statue on Aug. 13 and worked for three days before rain hit and he couldn’t work on the project. He returned last week and worked for several days. He expects the project to take about 10 days to complete.

August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month and Parkview Wabash Hospital wants to help moms and babies comfortably and safely breastfeed when out in the community. Beginning Friday, Aug. 3, Parkview Wabash Hospital deployed a new breastfeeding pod that provides mothers access to a portable, free-standing unit that supports both mom and baby in a variety of ways. “Research continues to demonstrate the many important benefits of breastfeeding but for moms on the go, it can be dif-

ficult at times to support the ability to feed when their babies are ready to eat,” said Ashli Pershing, BSN, RN, CLC, birth planner/lactation consultant, Parkview Wabash Hospital. “Our new lactation pod is creatively designed to best support our moms by providing a clean, private and supportive environment where they can choose to breastfeed or pump their breastmilk.” The pod will be available every month at each First Friday, located in front of the Wabash County Historical Museum (indoors during inclement weather). Residents will also find the pods at many other com-

INVASIVE WORKSHOP Ryan Frauhiger paints a portion of the statue he is creating at the home of Rod Morrison. Photo by Joseph Slacian “I’m starting to learn how long things take to make,” he said. “Back in May, I started working on a job … I thought was going to take four days to do. It took me four days to get my scaffolding up. “It was a lot higher than this one. And being the only one working, I was in over my head. I was there 12 days on that job. I bid it for four and I got paid for four, so live and learn.” A Taylor University graduate with a degree in art education, Frauhiger taught school for a few years. “Not everyone who goes to college makes the right choice on their first career,” he said.

He worked in a dental lab for several years. “I’ve always had this as a hobby,” he said. “And then I realized that you only live once. The other job I had wasn’t exactly the greatest where, you know, you’re just so thrilled to be there and you’re making a lot of money. “The only difference here is that I am thrilled to be here, and I’m still not making a lot of money.” Most of the carving is done with a small Echo chain saw with a carving bar. He also uses a die grinder for detail work. Morrison said he has been getting good input from neighbors and from passers-by who have seen Frauhiger at work.

munity events going forward. The pods are a bright green, matching the hospitals colors and wrapped in a creative design matching the “I’m a Parkview Mom” ini-

tiative many throughout the community are familiar with. The pod promotes a comfortable and relaxing environment, including enough space for bags and strollers.

One person’s reaction gave Morrison reason to laugh. “They asked, ‘Are you carving that?’” he said. “I said, ‘Are you kidding?’ I can’t even make something out of PlayDoh.” Morrison sees the statue as an asset to the neighborhood. “Richard Ford worked hard at making this part of the community beautiful,” he said. “He opened up the Charley Creek Gardens the way he did. I thought this might be something I can do to add a little something to the community and make people glad to be here. “I just hope that it will be a positive thing that everyone enjoys.”

VIEWPOINT

Doctors worked with county on property Dear Editor: As owners of Family Physicians Realty, LLC, we were sad in reading your recent story regarding the very serious problems experienced by the Wabash County Coroner. We thought that our medical office building would be an important part of the solution to our coroner’s problem. Together we have provided medical care for thousands of Wabash County patients and their families for more than 100 years total. We have been honored and proud to be a part of the positive events happening in our community. We live here, work here and have raised our families here. We knew that the Parkview Physician Group medical practice at our building on Manchester Ave would be relocating to the new Parkview Hospital and office complex when completed. The Wabash County Commissioners contact-

ed us in late 2017 interested in purchasing our building, and we agreed not to put the building on the market. We also learned that the Wabash County Health Department and coroner were searching for a place to relocate due to the expanding needs of the Wabash Probation Department. Our building would make an ideal location for the health department, coroner, morgue and possible outpatient drug

treatment program; and we offered to sell the building to the county for $350,000. The building was inspected by the county’s architects, engineer and Wabash County Commissioners. The building has approximately 10,000 square feet of floor space including both levels and has been well maintained by Parkview. Two years ago, $35,000 was spent resurfacing and upgrading the parking lot and driveway, and

several rooms have been remodeled also. There is ample space to relocate all of the above listed uses. The county architects and engineer found that the building was suitable for the health department, coroner and morgue, and they provided reports listing recommended renovations and the cost of their recommendations to the county in February. We signed an agreement with the commissioners in good faith in April to sell the building to the county at the agreed price. We were very disappointed when the Wabash County Council canceled the agreement in June. We then offered to sell at a reduced price on contract to pay for it over several years in order to ease the cost to the county. We received no response to our offer from the county – no response whatsoever. They now say that the canceled their agreement because the renova-

tion costs were higher than expected. This absolutely is not true. They knew the costs in February and the agreement was signed in April. We still do not know the actual readon the contract was canceled as we feel the building has a lot to offer the community over many years to come, and it is immediately available. Our original asking price was $35 per square foot which is very reasonable. If all of the renovations listed by the architects and engineer were completed, the cost would be less than half of what a new constructed facility would cost. There seems to be a lot of misinformation and confusion about this process. Our position is clear. We agreed to sell this building to the county. We are still prepared to honor our agreement. – Charles R. Lyons Jr., M.D.; James P. McCann, M.D.; George P. Schneider, Ph.D., M.D.

Dear Editor: Exactly why does the mayor of Wabash think his going to China is going to improve Wabash? How much is the trip going to cost? What will be the return, monetarily, be on this trip? Since the United States is having problems with China is this trip really necessary? The local politicians,

in my estimation, do not look very deep in their decisions to do anything. It seems as if when someone has an idea the city thinks it should be done at once, without thinking very hard above the outcome. Only things that should be done at once get overlooked. This trip money should be used to fix the problems that have

been overlooked. There are enough things that need improvement that the trip money could be used for. When was the last time a politician asked for your opinion on anything? How can they represent you if they don’t know what you want? – Red Hapner, Wabash

NM Historical Society to hear about German School

NORTH MANCHESTER — On Monday, Sept. 10, the NM Historical Society will present a program by Rosemarie Felts, a Huntington woman who immigrated to the United States in 1954. The program, located in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest Retirement Center, 2201 East St., will begin at 6:30 p.m. It is open to the public at no cost and will be enjoyable for audiences of all ages.

Felts was born in Berlin one year after Hitler became chancellor. She attended grade school in Berlin and cooking school in Berlin and England, graduating with a Culinary Arts degree. She met her husband in 1952 at Tempelhof Airport, the headquarters of the Air Force in Berlin. They were married the next year, and Felts came to the United States in December, 1954. When she landed in the United States, she

ROSE MARIE FELTS says, “It was very special. When we entered the United States, we felt the feel-

She worked in numerous offices in the H u n t i n g t o n Courthouse, and even opened a successful German Restaurant for a short time. After her husband was called to become a minister, they served as missionaries in India, where she

taught ESL in New Delhi. She now tutors immigrants in English at the Huntington library. During her program, Felts will talk about the German School, a local center for German education, culture and worship in the 1880s. She will include the experiences of those who immigrated to America in search of new opportunities, touching upon on the difficulties they faced and what motivated

NORTH MANCHDESTER — In a county match-up, the Manchester boys soccer team shut out the Wabash Apaches 6-0 Thursday, Aug. 23.

Offensively, Caleb Stout and Eric Morales led the Squires with two goals each, followed by Justin Self and Isaiah Davis with one apiece. Morales had two assists, while Stout, Brandon Wagoner, Self and Reichenbach each had one assist. “This was a very lackluster game,” McKee said. “[We] really never got going, but still came away with a 6-0 win.” The Squires move to 3-0 on the season and 1-0 in conference play. Wabash drops to 1-4 and 0-2 in the conference with the loss. Manchester canceled the Manchester Invitational Saturday, Aug. 25 due to weather.

Beacon’s Project Spotlight voting underway By The Paper staff Beacon Credit Union has kicked off its 8th annual Project Spotlight voting. The program was created with the hope that individuals and organizations would be inspired to reach out and serve those

living and working around them. The campaign takes place in all 12 of the communities that Beacon has a full service branch located. Anyone in the community (not just Beacon members) were able to nominate worthwhile charitable

organizations, community projects, and local non-for-profits that they believe deserved financial support until June 30. Nominations were submitted on the company’s website, www.beaconcu.org, or at the local branches. Beginning Aug. 1,

the public (not just Beacon members) can start voting for their favorite cause either online or in their local Beacon Credit Union branch. Voters are allowed to vote once per day per community. After voting the public may share to Facebook or Twitter

to let others know that they have voted and encourage others to vote for their favorite organization. Last year, the contest received a total of 53,112 votes between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30, and organizers hope to have more votes and participation this

year. The project in each community that receives the most votes will win $1,000 of funding from Beacon Credit Union. The second place winners in each community will receive $500 of funding, and new in 2018 there will be a third

Church builds flock at local 4-H fair Article provided

A local ministry gave back to the community at the recent Wabash County 4-H Fair Auction, purchasing eight layer hens from local exhibitors. New Beginnings Ministries of Wabash, a faith-based 501c3, purchased birds from Kevin Parke, the son of Jennifer Anderson and Josh Barnett, Logan Penrod, the son of Adam and Emily Penrod, Trinity Johnson, the daughter of Austin Johnson and Dawn Webb and Tristan Barlow, the son of Kyle and Christy Barlow. “The amount we spent really didn’t amount to much in the terms of dollars and cents,” New Beginnings Director Aaron Turner said. “But what we had hoped to do was give back just a little bit to the community that supports us, and help in our efforts in selfsustainability.” New Beginnings is located on five acres on the south end of Wabash. The ministry is a discipleship-minded residential facility geared toward “Changing lives through Christ.” Located in the former Church of Our Savior Methodist Church, the ministry now houses up to nine at-risk men, showing them Biblical principles to empower community change. “We have men from all different backgrounds come to us, with lots of different burdens,” Turner said. “There seems to be a lot of collateral damage from opiod crisis, a lot of homelessness. We take the guys in, and pour the love of Christ into them and try to give them the tools to make a difference in reclaiming their life.” The chickens factor in to that. “Most of the guys we get have a hard time with work ethic,” Turner said. “So when they come to New Beginnings, we plug them in to a chore list, which includes taking care of our chickens, feeding them, checking for eggs, washing the eggs … things that most of Wabash County residents have done for a long time. “At the residence, we

A member of New Beginnings Ministries of Wabash shows off one of the chickens purchased at the Wabash County 4-H Fair livestock auction. Photo provided house up to nine guys, so we eat a lot of eggs. It’s a literal farm to fork operation which I think the guys appreciate,” Turner said. “We sell a few dozen a week to help cover our feed costs, and our chicken runs go down the rows of our garden, so the manure builds up our soil and helps the vegetables that we grow.” In addition to the chicken and the garden, New Beginnings also has a mowing crew. If a resident comes to New Beginnings without employment, life and job skills can be learned while mowing. “We are caretakers of the Lagro Cemetery, St. Paul’s County Line Church and a few other properties,” Turner said. “We teach the guys how to drive zeroturn mowers, how to weed-eat and take pride in their work. We also talk to the guys about how we bill people, and how through that, it helps cover the cost of their stay with us.” New Beginnings is free to its residents. Funded through local church giving and individual contributions, the ministry has helped 90 men over Turner’s three years. “When you think about how many men have heard about the life-changing power found in the gospel, it’s exciting,” Turner said. “To say that they’re all pursing Kingdomminded aspects of their life now, well, that’s impossible. But several are still connected in a church, several are still maintaining sobriety and several are better dads now than what they ever would have considered. “It’s the community

that makes this possible. It’s not anything special that I’m doing, but the men that recognize an absence in their lives and want to pursue a change.” New Beginnings Ministries is located at 1960 Vernon Str. in Wabash. “We invited all the 4Hers over to visit their chickens,” Turner said. “I had an awesome conversation with the Penrod family about Jesus and how their layers are going to make a difference. Bethany (Logan’s sister) said she wanted to come and visit, which we would love to see. “For some of our guys, this is the first time they’ve seen a chicken, let alone handle one.” Tristan Barlow said, “This is neat. I’m happy my Phoenixes are in a good home.” Turner realizes it’s more than just a fair purchase. “You know, in reality, each bird cost around $85 for us to buy through the fair. A lot of people trust us to be good stewards of their donations, and I think this reinvestment into the community, sharing the Gospel and being a part of God’s bigger purpose here in Wabash is what he wants us to do. “However, if anyone would like to buy eggs from us, our pullets are still a couple weeks out from being in full products. Southside, keep us in mind for your eggs.” For more information on New Beginnings, log on to its website at www.newbe ginningsofwabash.org or visit its Facebook page.

DNR urges Hoosiers to register ORVs From the DNR

Hoosiers who own off-road vehicles (ORVs) purchased after Dec. 31, 2009 must register those ORVs through the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). The registration law applies regardless of whether the ORV is driven on public or private land, although there are a few exceptions. More informa-

tion about ORV registration requirements i s at bmv.IN.gov/2468.ht m. ORVs include dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), utility task vehicles (UTVs), and side-by-sides. A three-year ORV registration costs $30. Registration is required for all ORVs to enter Interlake and Redbird state recreation areas (SRAs), according to DNR’s

Carman Jackson, who manages both properties. Interlake and Redbird are former coal surface mines owned and managed by the DNR Division of Outdoor Recreation to provide public-land riding opportunities for ORV users. For out-of-state visitors, the state also recognizes out-of-state ORV registrations. Out-of-state residents with unregistered

ORVs can purchase an annual trail-use permit that will allow use at Redbird and Interlake SRAs only. These permits are available at the property gatehouses. “We are seeing an increasing number of non-registered ORVs arriving at Interlake

and Redbird,” Jackson said. “Many Hoosiers are not aware of the registration requirement. Unfortunately, we have to deny them entrance to the property.” Registration allows police officers to track stolen ORVs and

ORVs that have been used improperly. Furthermore, fees from ORV registration pay for increased off-roading opportunities, amenities and s e r v i c e s . Interlake and Redbird have added more trail miles for all vehicle types and rider skill

levels. Recent improvements include shelters, picnic areas and observation decks that provide great views and family experiences. “These funds are essential for property improvements,” Jackson said.

and Canada don’t work at all on Labor Day. Labor Day is much more than the unofficial end to summer. Labor Day weekend tends to be the last big travel weekend before the holiday season, benefitting towns and businesses that cater to tourists. But while road trips and backyard barbecues are now staples of Labor Day, the origins of the holiday bear little resemblance to the celebrations of today. Labor Day in the United States dates back to the 19th century, though its origins are still debated by historians. According to the United States Department of Labor, recent research supports the idea that Labor Day was the brainchild of machinist Matthew Maguire, who supposedly devised the idea in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. Others attribute the holiday to Peter J. McGuire, a cofounder of the

BUILDING LOT

American Federation of Labor and general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. Historians say the first Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York. This was based on plans from Maguire’s Central Labor Union. Other states and cities would eventually adopt the first Monday in September as Labor Day. As labor unions grew, other cities started celebrating Labor Day, which McGuire suggested should be a day to honor those “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the

grandeur we behold.” Soon the popularity of Labor Day grew and recognition by the government followed. By 1885, municipal ordinances recognizing Labor Day had been passed, and they inspired state legislation. While Labor Day was first celebrated in New York, in 1887 the state of Oregon became the first state to officially pass a law recognizing the first Monday of September as Labor Day. New York, along with Colorado, Massachusetts and New Jersey, implemented Labor Day observations soon after. On June 28, 1894,

THE GARDENS SUBDIVISION

Congress officially passed an act that declared the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday. This applied to all states as well as the District of Columbia. Labour Day also is celebrated on the first Monday of September in Canada, where the day celebrates workers and the labor union movement. It’s important for people living in North America to recognize both the significance and the history of Labor Day, which is about far more than backyard barbecues and the last of summer jaunts to the beach.
