Board votes to close LaFontaine Elementary by Ashley Flynn ashley@thepaperofwabash.com The Metropolitan School District of Wabash County board voted unanimously to close the LaFontaine Elementary School after the current school year. The board began discussing closure with the public last April when structural damage was discovered in a classroom. The damage revealed a corroding beam, which would cost $150,000 to repair. Since the discovery, grades four and five have been moved to Southwood Elementary for safety concerns, leaving only sixth graders in the building for the 2013-2014 school year. The sixth graders are confined to a single hallway, which is unaffected by the structural issues. Over the past several months, the board held open discussions with the community to receive feedback and ideas on the issue. Concerned citizens questioned how the move would affect the quality of life in LaFontaine. While the board kept in mind the emotions of the community, they reminded the public that it is their duty to do what is best for

the entire school district. Board members took the time to investigate options and weigh benefits before Dr. Weaver made her recommendation. “In 1978 our enrollment in the school district was at an all time high at 3,300 students. We have experienced a decline steadily… but we are down to a little over the 2,000 mark,” Dr. Weaver said during the board meeting. “In the 1999-2000 school year, Southwood Elementary had an enrollment of 492. If we close Lafontaine, the projected enrollment for next year at Southwood Elementary would be 479.” “Why do I tell you that?” she asked, “to let you know that the students will fit in that building.” “By closing the school - not talking at all about capital projects, only general fund, which is a fund that is very low right now, that’s where salaries and benefits are paid out of - we would anticipate our savings to be at $194,000 annually,” Dr. Weaver explained. In addition, the school would require $500,000 in updates within the next 3-5 years. “I was hired to do what is best for the students, all the students in the district, (continued on page 5)

Wabash County gets new DAV van by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com

More than 30 supporters including the mayor, the county veterans services offi-

cer, and a representative for Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, gathered at American Legion Post 15 in downtown Wabash on Tuesday, Nov. 26

WABASH COUNTY COORDINATOR FOR THE DAV HERB MULLEN shows off the new Ford Flex van to veterans and program supporters after the dedication ceremony Tuesday, Nov. 26 at the American Legion Post 15 on the corner of Cass Street and Market Street in Wabash.

for a ceremony to dedicate the county’s new Disabled American Veterans van. The DAV van serves disabled veterans by providing a free means of transportation to medical appointments at VA hospitals and VA approved locations. Three years ago, Herb Mullen, Wabash County coordinator for the DAV, brought the van program to Wabash County after volunteering as a driver in Marion since 2009. In the spring of 2011, it became apparent that the loaner van they had been using would not last many more years. He set up a savings account and began raising funds for a new van. “We decided early on that we were not going to ask the county, the state, or the feds for any money,” said Mullen during the dedication. “We figured that we’re pretty important, but we also figured that we had a responsibility to the county to not become a drag upon public funds.” With the help of Bob Brown, Mullen organized two newsletter fundraising drives, soliciting funds through the mail. Recipients responded with donations ranging from $5 to $500. They also held a forget-me-not drive outside Wal-Mart, raising $1,600 in a single day, 8 percent of the total needed for the van. On Friday, Nov. 22, Mullen got his hands on the van for which he and the other contributors had waited the past

two and a half years. It was a sparkling new 2013 Ford Flex clad in DAV logos and the names of the programs major contributors. The van hauled a patient back from Marion that same day. “Wabash County veterans salute and thank you for our new ride.” Mullen said to the contributors present at the dedication. “Those of you who are veterans, if you need a ride someday, we’d be more than happy to give you one.” That’s exactly what the van does. Its entire purpose is to be driven by one of Wabash County’s four volunteer drivers to the residence of disabled veterans, take them to their scheduled doctors appointments and bring them home safely. The program’s only restrictions are that veterans can only be taken to VA hospitals or VA approved locations, and the veterans have to be able to get in and out of the van on their own power or that of their family. The van will take even a single veteran as far as Indianapolis and back for an appointment. Mayor Vanlandingham spoke at the dedication, likening the fundraising campaign to a mission, with which the veterans present were all to familiar. “It’s great to see the community coming together for a mission, You’ve had a very successful mission, and the other thing you learn when you go through (continued on page 5)

THE PAPER 2 Staffing Resources is November’s Blue Ribbon Business www.thepaperofwabash.com

H EA LTH C A R E PLA N S Dr. Farlow More and more employers are offering their employes the option of directing their health care spending with Flexible Spending Account Plans (FSA), through “Cafeteria” Benefit Plans. And savvy plan participants are directing that spending towards eye care, according to Dr. Farlow, Therapeutic Optometrist. “Most participants know they can use their plan dollars for eye examinations, eyeglasses and contact lenses”, Dr. Farlow said. “But there are many more ways to apply those dollars towards eye care.” For example, plan participants can use their accounts to pay for prescription medications for eye conditions such as dry eye syndrome and glaucoma, even laser vision surgery. Dr. Farlow added that these plans may also be used to extend the benefits of a patient’s vision plan. “A patient who is covered by a separate vision plan, can use flex dollars for the co-payment on a covered eye health examination”, Dr. Farlow said. “Or, if their vision plan provides one pair of eyeglasses, the patient can use plan dollars to pay for computer glasses, driving glasses or prescription sunglasses.” Some plans have a deadline by which the employee must use the dollars in their account or forfeit them. Contact lens patients who face such a deadline may consider purchasing an annual supply of lenses with their remaining plan dollars, Dr. Farlow added. Dr. Farlow owns and practices at 144 West Hill Street, Wabash and is a member of Vision Source, the nation’s number one network of private practice optometrists. Founded in 1991, The Vision Source network includes more than 2,800 offices in all 50 states and in Canada.

The American Red Cross will be holding a blood drive Dec. 12 from 12-6 p.m., at the North Manchester Church of the Brethren located at 1306 Beckley Street in North Manchester. Remember, the demand for these blood supplies takes no time off for the holidays, so please take a little time out of your busy holiday schedule to help those in need. Be sure to bring your donor card or some other form of positive identification with you, as we cannot take your blood without one. Sixteenyear-olds can now be eligible to donate blood in the state of Indiana if they have a consent form from the American Red Cross signed by their parent or guardian. There will be hourly drawings throughout the day for nice gifts, so please plan to attend this drive and help those in need of blood to have a little happier holiday season.

coming year. REMC is helping 4H start a mini 4H electric program where kids will learn about solar power and create a solar powered car. A new showmanship division will be open to second graders. The kids will team up with an older member of 4H and learn how to care for an animal. There will be a mock show for those involved. “We really want more people involved. 4H is a great learning opportunity in the summer. We also provide leadership skills and service opportunities,” Angela Christopher of 4H Youth Development told The Paper. 4H offers a wide variety of projects sparking interests from scrapbooking to Lego type models to tractor maintenance and everything inbetween. Descriptions of projects can be

found online or in the enrollment packet. There is no limit on the amount of projects kids can enroll in. The majority of projects are unrelated to livestock, but horses, llamas and dairy heifers may be leased for the season. Last year, 611 kids participated in Wabash County 4H and just fewer than 200 participated in mini 4H. Enrollment papers will be sent out during school this year. They may be turned into the Purdue Extension office located on the second floor of the courthouse, or enrollment may be done online. 4H is the largest youth organization at a national level. It is a year-around program. Next year’s Wabash County 4H Fair will be held during the first week of July.

The Chamber will host Scot Goskowicz, a business counselor from the Fort Wayne Small Business Development Center, on December 4 and 18. Free personal appointments with Scot must be scheduled through the Chamber office. Whether you are

starting a new business or needing assistance with your current company, SBDC has the resources to help. SBDC offers assistance with marketing demographics, funding options, business and succession planning, growing ideas, setting goals, identifying resources, pursuing opportunities, and overcoming challenges in your business.

Cathy Price, owner of Cathy’s Natural Market, opened her business in November with the help of small business counseling. “We had a wonderful grand opening and I am excited to see our business grow! None of this would have been possible though without Scot Goskowiz from Northeast Indiana Small Business Development Center.

He and many others have been a huge help to us, for which we are ever grateful,” said Price. Starting a new business or refining an existing business takes knowledge, commitment and persistence. This business counseling can help you in developing a plan to set your ideas in motion. It also opens the door to many other experi-

enced professionals who are able to answer more technical questions in the operation of a small business. These sessions will be held at, and sponsored by, the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, located at 210 South Wabash St. Appointments may be made by calling 260563-1168.

Board votes to close LaFontaine Elementary... continued from front page and sometimes that means you have to do those hard things, and I would never recommend this if I didn’t think it was the right thing to do for the

kids in the district. It certainly isn’t an easy thing to do. “I’ve been grinding my teeth all day and all night, and be that as it may, I still think

this is what we have to do for this district to keep going. So in summary, I recommend that the Board of Education vote to close LaFontaine Elementary School at the end of the 20132014 school year. In addition, I would recommend that the school be maintained with minimum heating and cooling, grounds upkeep and daily property checks,” said Dr. Weaver. She also recommended that the school be listed as “available” on the Indiana Department of Education website, meaning a charter school could come in and lease the building. The district is required to have the building listed as

available for two consecutive years before selling it. If a charter school were to lease the building, the district would have no say in who moves in. They could, however; make the building unavailable at anytime. Following the recommendation, board members spoke briefly about the difficulty of making such a decision, and then voted 5-0 to close L a F o n t a i n e Elementary. For the 2014-2015 school year, all L a F o n t a i n e Elementary students will be transferred to S o u t h w o o d Elementary. All L a f o n t a i n e Elementary School teachers will also transfer to

Southwood. The head cook will move, and the district is looking for a position for the janitor. LaFontaine Principal Chris Kuhn will become the new S o u t h w o o d Elementary School Principal, filling the spot of Janet Shumaker who is set to retire at the end of this school year. Other employees will lose their jobs. Desks, books, technology and other equipment will move to Southwood or to other schools in the district. The board hopes to leave the playground equipment for the children in LaFontaine, but is still waiting to hear from insurance about liability issues. Closing LaFontaine Elementary will save the district money, but board members called it a “Band Aid

this and you get done, is that you take care of your buddies,” said M a y o r Vanlandingham. “This is going to be a great service to the community and a great service to our veterans.” “This new DAV van continues to represent the ongoing need and support that veterans require here in our county,” said Wabash County Veterans Service Officer Cameron Lochner. “This ceremony should serve as a reminder to all of Wabash County that our veterans are a most valuable treasure that deserves recognition and safe keeping. Calvin Coolidge once said, ‘the nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten.’ It is my hope that our county will continue to grow in its support for the welfare and wellbeing of its veterans and that the dedication of this new DAV van marks only a beginning.”

Dear Editor, Wabash County has always been blessed with wonderful individuals who dedicate themselves to improving the quality of life for many in our community. Likely, each of us can think of at least one person who fits this category. Maybe they volunteer for a local non-profit, serve the community through our public safety services, or perform simple, random acts of kindness. The great quality of many of these individuals is how they do all this great work with littleto-no recognition. These silent heroes change lives every day in Wabash County and many of us never see them in action. One of these great individuals is Claire Coyne. Claire came to Wabash in 1990 as the manager of Grant County Rescue Mission Thrift Store, which in March of 2005 was closed and reopened as a Wabash County nonprofit organization known as Lighthouse Mission (Wabash County Thrift Store). She has dedicated her life to serving this area through the variety of programs offered by Lighthouse

Mission, many the program ideas coming from her late night brainstorming. From operating the thrift store, distributing thousands of Christmas and Easter food baskets, working with the local homeless, and providing support to local disaster victims, Claire has touched more lives in Wabash through her career than even she realizes. Anyone who knows Claire will likely speak of her great faith, passion for helping others, and an endless supply of kind and supportive words. She does it with a smile and a tremendous supply of hugs. One described Claire Coyne as “ an angel among us God gave her

such a servants heart, and she has been so very faithful to that calling. We are SO blessed to have had her here for almost 23 years.” While Claire has been a staple of humanitarian services in Wabash County, we will soon have to bid her a tender farewell. She has announced her retirement from the Lighthouse Mission. Just as her faith called her to serve so many in this area over the last 23 years, she is now being called to another great service opportunity in Scobey, Mont., where she will be ministering to children in an after-school program. The Wabash County community will miss

Claire dearly, those she has served at the mission store, her family and friends, and all of those to whom she has taken her precious time to pray or offer a kind word. Fortunately for us, Claire has built a great team of staff and volunteers who have worked beside her and share her passion for the work of the Lighthouse Mission. Like all changes, it will be hard to say “goodbye” and move forward without her upbeat personality and continual smile, but we wish her the best in this new calling and commit to continuing the work she has so capably led over these last 23 years. The Board of Trustees for

Lighthouse Mission (Wabash County Thrift Store), would like to invite members of this community to offer your best wishes and thanks to Claire. On Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Woman’s Clubhouse, they will host a reception in her honor from 2-4 p.m. In lieu of any gifts, Claire would appreciate donations to Lighthouse Mission food basket program in her honor. We also ask that you shower her with cards expressing what she has meant to this community. Cards can be dropped off at the Mission or at her open house on Dec. 15. Kelly Schuler Lighthouse Missions

Wabash Musicale celebrates “blustery and cool” November with program President Sue Gray welcomed all to the Charley Creek Garden Center. The theme for 2013-14 is “Seasons of Music” with November’s theme being “Blustery and Cool,” and that it was. Chair person Carolyn Eppley opened the program with Sarah See and Barbara Biehl performing a short skit of “Winniethe-Pooh,” also called Pooh Bear, created by A.A. Milne. Disney adapted the Pooh stories into a series of features becoming one of its most successful franchises. One of the featurettes was entitled “Winnie the Pooh and

the Blustery Day,” and Pooh fit into the musicale program very well. “Autumn Leaves” was next in the program, sung by Jo Wade, accompanied by Eileen Dye. Jacques Pervert wrote a French poem in 1926 that was set to music by Hungarianborn Joseph Kosma and became a great favorite after World War II. Johnny Mercer, America’s most prolific lyricist, was asked to write English lyrics and then Roger Williams made a recording selling 2.5 million copies. Barbara Biehl and Sarah See played a

clarinet duet called “Capriccio,” by Johann Wilhelm Hassler, a German composer, born in 1747. He was an organist, pianist and composer of many keyboard works. An unusual composition of 360 preludes written in 1817 had its world premiere in Germany in September 2012. It will be recorded by Toccata Classics in 2015. See and Biehl also performed a clarinet duet composed by Keith Snell called “March for Little John.” He began teaching piano when he was 15. He co-authored Piano Town, and

20566

Fundamentals of Piano Theory. He is also well known to piano teachers as editor of the Piano Repertoire series and a producer of CDs for each series. Myra Perkins sang “Erikonig” by Franz Schubert, accompanied by Eileen Dye. Franz Shubert had a short life span of 32 years, but was a prolific composer. He wrote 10 complete symphonies, including the famous “Unfinished Symphony.” Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers of the early Romantic era. The “Finale from Sonata” by Franz Joseph Haydn was performed by Sarah See, on clarinet, accompanied by Connie Doud. Haydn, an Austrian composer, was often called the “Father of the Symphony” and “Father of the String Quartet” because of his important contribution to these forms. At the time of his death, he was one of the most celebrated composers in Europe. The program was concluded with Myra Perkins and Jo Wade singing “White Christmas” accompanied by Eileen Dye. Israel Isidore Beilin, a young boy whose Jewish family uprooted late in the 19th century to come to America, became Irving Berlin. Berlin is considered one of the greatest songwriters in American History. “White Christmas” won Berlin the Academy Award for Best Music in an original song.

C3 and Kosciusko Silent No More stand in support of HJR6

Dear editor, C i t i z e n s Committed to the C o n s t i t u t i o n (Wabash C3) and The Kosciusko County Silent NO More (KSNM) announced that they stand in support of the Indiana Marriage Protection Act (HJR6) that will be debated in the Indiana State Legislature in January and ultimately sent to the voters of Indiana. The groups state, “Redefining marriage forces everyone else, including churches, schools, and business owners, to affirm homosexual relationships, denying people their freedom of religion and opinion. Facts have proven over and over again, that when we allow a group to redefine marriage, those who hold religious convictions are criminalized. Changing marriage has already had devastating effects on adoption services, family law, divorce

law, schools, religious freedom, free speech and the rights of conscience. Marriage is the cornerstone of a strong society. There is no governmental substitute for a married mom and dad. Where marriage declines or loses its meaning, government expands, children suffer, and freedom erodes. We believe the future and definition of marriage should belong in the hands of Hoosiers and not the federal government, courts, or media. We are focused, and we will step up to the front lines to fight for our families and religious freedom in the upcoming months.” C i t i z e n s Committed to the C o n s t i t u t i o n (Wabash C3) exists to “To promote the Constitution, its values and principles, and to inspire and empower others to do the same.” Meetings are held the first Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at Bachelor Creek

Church of Christ in Wabash and are open to all concerned citizens and patriots. The Kosciusko County Silent NO More is a grassroots organization that is designed for the purpose of standing for family, freedom, and our constitution. KSNM believes in the Ronald Reagan three legged stool principles of social, fiscal and strong national defense conservatism. The mission is to bring about less government, more responsibility, and with God’s help - a better world by providing leadership, education, and organized volunteer action in accordance with moral and Constitutional principles. The group meets the first and third Tuesday of each month at the New Life Christian Church and World Outreach at 7 p.m. For additional infor mation, www.wabashc3.org or Facebook: C3

Choir Director Mark Nevil said “Both concerts will feature sacred and secular Christmas music guaranteed to put you in the Holiday Spirit.” Admission is free but donations are accepted. URBANA LIONS CLUB met on Nov. 25 with vice president Marvin Mast in charge of the meeting. A presentation telling about the Indiana Lions Foundation was given by Indiana Lion Foundation Board member Mary Ann Mast. As the Urbana Lions Club did not receive the grant they applied for to replace the flooring and do some remodeling in the kitchen of the Urbana C o m m u n i t y Building, the Lions Kitchen Committee will reconvene after the first of the year to revise their plans to continue with this project. The Club voted to sponsor the Echo Car Racing for the youth during the months of January, February, and March. Michael Snell told the club that the Snack Shack has been emptied, cleaned, and closed down for the winter. Motions were passed to donate to the Hope 85 Free Clinic and to purchase a W. P.

Lutheran Air 2 meets with Heartland Career Center students

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Heartland Career Center students welcomed a high-tech visitor to the school as Lutheran Air 2 landed in the south parking lot Thursday, Nov. 21. The helicopter’s visit was the result of a partnership between the vocational school and Lutheran Air to benefit students in the health sciences and criminal justice programs. “We try to start kids on a pathway of interest and point them toward opportunities in the community,” said Principal Mark Hobbs. Prior to the helicopter’s arrival, students in the heath sciences and criminal justice programs had a chance to talk with Luann McKinley and Tina Underhill, registered nurses with the flight program. Students had an opportunity to learn about the job, observe lifesaving procedure demonstrations, and ask questions about caring for trauma patients and the impact it has on those responding to the scene of an accident. Criminal justice students got a chance to lay out the helicopter’s landing, at the school, just as they would have

to do in an emergency situation. One lucky student even got to call it in on the radio. “We like to partner with communities,” said Pat Unger, a Wabash County resident, former Heartland student and current flight program manager for Lutheran Air. “We like to reach out and educate.” Though aimed at the health science and criminal justice programs, students from every program got a chance to go outside and see the helicopter. The idea of a flying ambulance intrigued some students, while others were more excited by the mechanics of the Eurocopter-135’s twin 750 horsepower engine cruising at 150 mph.

“The kids are excited about it because they’ve never seen anything like it that close,” Hobbs said as the students inspected the $5 million helicopter inside and out. Students also had a chance to talk with Lutheran Air 2 Pilot Bill Tucker about his experience flying helicopters. “I started flying helicopters with wood blades and piston engines,” said Tucker. “These turbine engines are incredible. These are fiberglass rotors. It’s got a carbon-fiber tail boom.” A former crop duster, Tucker stressed the reliability and safety of the aircraft. “This is definitely the nicest helicopter I’ve flown, and the

safest,” said Tucker. “It’s all computerized. If something happens with one of the engines, I just flip a switch and it takes care of it.” This spring, Heartland will begin offering an emergency medical responder class. Local paramedics will train students in the classroom and at the fire station. “The EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) opportunity is great, because they’re going to teach it and give ridealongs,” said Hobbs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY this week to: Perry Wagner, Maria Vigar, Delbert Mowery, Patrice Chenault, Cole Hemingway, Trent Powell, Paul Zintsmaster, Melvin Harrell, Jerry Mills, Ronald Deal, Chris Newhouse, Brandon Shidler, Tina Tomlinson, Riley Bryan Powell, Burdette Donaldson, Heidi Koch, Emily Shafer, Scott Kramer, Holly Kendall, Austin

Shively, and Kandy Barker. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY this week to: Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Cordes, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Medsger, Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Musselman, and Mr. and Mrs. Phil Layman. ROANN NEWS ITEMS may be sent to my email address at roannhappenings@yah oo.com or you may call me at the phone number listed. The deadline for news to appear in the next week’s issue of the paper is Tuesday at noon. It would be best to submit timely news items two weeks in advance.

“It’s set up like an internship.” Thought the path from emergency medical responder to air ambulance crew member is long, Heartland Career Center’s Supervisor of Student Services Pete Dupont hopes that it will open students eyes to the opportunities available if they continue to work toward a career in their chosen field. “It’s a great opportunity for [Lutheran Air 2], being new to the area, and a great opportunity for our students,” said Dupont.

Land gave his weekly report. As of Monday, there were 88 inmates in the Wabash County Jail and 19 in the Miami County Jail. Officers are switching road duty uniforms to an all-brown outfit.

This money is for Miami County transfers back pay plus coverage until the end of 2013. The commissioners voted to amend

Miami County couple arrested on theft charges Recently, a week long criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Josh Maller resulted in the arrests of Brent Graber, 33, and his girlfriend Jessica Brooks, 27, both from rural Peru. Graber was served a Miami Superior Court II arrest warrant alleging two felony charges for theft and corrupt business influence. Detective Maller served Graber the warrant at the Miami County Jail where he was being held on an unrelated charge. Detective Maller served Brooks with a Miami Superior Court II arrest warrant at her place of employment, Woody’s Campground in Peru. She was incarcerated in the Miami County Jail to face a felony charge for

conspiracy to commit theft. Maller started his investigation after the Jodi Coblentz, CEO of Coblentz Farms, located in Miami County, reported a theft from her business. Further investigation revealed that Coblentz’s husband had died earlier this year. She subsequently promoted a farm hand, Brent Graber, to take over as manager of the farm operations. As part of his responsibilities, Graber would oversee the transportation and sale of corn and soybeans to the local grain elevator. Profits from the sold crops were supposed to be deposited into the bank accounts for Coblentz Farms. From Oct. 14, until Nov. 21, Graber purportedly deposited over $63,000 of the

profits into his personal account. He was allegedly not authorized to have farm profits deposited into his personal account. The investigation also revealed that Brooks allegedly agreed and conspired with Graber to commit theft of the profits. The couple allegedly went on a spending spree purchasing new items for their house, including a couch, chair, end tables, a coffee table, a washer and dryer, and a bed. They also purchased a vehicle, guns, and hunting equipment. Maller was assisted in this investigation By ISP Detective Josh Rozzi. All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

They’re always asking if we can go to the store.” With wall-to-wall pink, purple and glitter, Sugar Rush is a little girl’s paradise. The boutique, spa and salon offers a variety of spa packages aimed at pampering young princesses. There’s even a runway for the girls to show off their new look. The popular Glitzy Glam includes hairstyle with glitter, nail polish and Glitz makeup with a shimmer star. Other packages combine manicures, pedicures, facials, hairstyles, makeup, and more. Each package is

loaded with glitter and glam. Services and products are also offered individually. One of the most popular products is the make your own lip gloss and lotion. Girls choose from bubblegum, cotton candy, or strawberry along with a color to create a their own lip gloss. Lotions can be layered with different scents making each bottle unique. Tutus, bows, accessories and embroidered shirts can also be purchased at Sugar Rush. Before the shop, Danielle primarily sold homemade bows and shirts from her Facebook page Glam Star Bowtique. “I wanted to open a store with my shirts and bows, but this is perfect. I just combined everything into one,” said Danielle, whose always wanted to own her own business. “In high school, I went to cosmetology school at Heartland, so

I always wanted my own hair salon. When I had my girls, it kind of changed into kids’ stuff.” Sugar Rush isn’t just for kids though; in the back of the shop is an adult hair salon. “Moms, grandmas and dads can go back there and get their hair done and the kids can come up here at the same time,” Danielle said. The stylist, Hannah Griffith, accepts both walk-ins and scheduled appointments. Already, Danielle is thinking about expanding.

“I want to grow our salon part into more women’s clothing and accessories. I’m running out of space, so getting a bigger space is definitely on the list.” For their grand opening, Sugar Rush had a line out the door, and has been steady since. “I wasn’t sure how well it would go over in a small town,” said Danielle, but added that the store is just how she imagined it would be. With help from her family, she created the image that’s been in

her head for years. “Some family members helped build the stations. I knew where I wanted stuff and how I wanted it, so it didn’t take too long to get it done,” she said. For Danielle, the best part of opening her store is making the girls happy. “I had a little girl the other day say this is better than Justice, and to little girls, Justice is the place. I love hearing all the names. One little girl called it the sparkle store. Hearing how they love it, that’s the best part.”

Wabash girls dominate Madison Grant by Gary Andrews The Wabash girls varsity basketball team raised their season record to 4-1 with a 46-20 road win at Madison Grant Tuesday. The Lady Apaches wasted no time in setting the tone for the game, putting up 18 points in the first quarter to lead 18-8 after one. Wabash would increase the defensive pressure in the second quarter, holding Madison Grant to just 4 points, while scoring 12 and led 30-12 at the half. No matter what team your playing, if you can hold a team to single digit scoring in every quarter your defense has had a great night. The Lady Apaches did just that, holding the Argylls to 3 points in the third and 5 in the fourth on their way to the 46-20 win. Leading Wabash was Claire Cromer and Lyndsie Thomas with 12 points each. Cromer added 3 assists, while Thomas had 1 rebound, 2 assists, 4 steals. Kyleigh Hampton added 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 assist. Sarah Puckett had 7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 assist. Jaclyn Lewis had 4 points, 1 rebound, 1 block, 4 steals. Sarah Ritter had 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal. Heather Miller had 1 point. Kristin Cromer had 1 rebound, 1 assist. Kristen Ford had 1 steal. Katie McCauley had 1 rebound. The junior varsity topped Madison Grant 34-15. Katie McCauley led with 11 points. Sydney Mullett added 7, Jaycee Parrett 6, Kristin Cromer 3, Cailey Beauchamp 2, Caitlyn Mullen 2, Taylor Cain 2, Carli Henderson 1.

by Gary Andrews Saturday was Manchester’s annual four-game clash with Oak Hill, as the host Squires went 2-2 on the day, winning both boys games while falling in the girls’ games. The junior varsity girls got things going first with the Lady Squires trailing 16-10 at the half before falling 29-20. L e a d i n g Manchester was Emily Haecker with 4 points. Hanna Olk, and Bailey Sewell added 3 points each. Bethany Collett, Rae Bedke, Kaitlyn Andritsch, Brooklyn Howard and Tiffany Johnson had 2 points each. Haecker would add 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Sewell had 3 rebounds and 1 steal. Thompson added 1 assist. Next up was the junior varsity boys who dominated the first half, leading 2212. The Squires went on to handle the Eagles 47-28. Leading the Squires was Bailey Ness with 10 points. David McAtee and Austin Brewer added 9 points each. Zach Hill had 6, Keelan Norwood 5, Matthew Pegg 4, Kane Gable 2, Levi Hicks 2. In the girls varsity game, the Lady Squires jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a bucket from Cierra Carter and again had the lead 4-2 on two free throws from Tabby DeWitt and 6-4 on a bucket from DeWitt. Oak Hill would then go on a 7-0 run to go up 11-6 when Sydney Snep hit. Manchester trailed 12-8 at the first stop. Oak Hill would extend their lead to 14-8 to start the second quarter before DeWitt hit to make it

14-10. The Eagles would increase their lead to 18-10, when DeWitt hit again. Down 20-12 Kaitlyn Parrett would find the bottom of the bucket, followed by a free throw from Emily Haecker to make it 2015. Oak Hill would get the final bucket of the half and led 22-15. Oak Hill would extend their lead to 26-15 to start the third quarter before DeWitt and Celina Carter hit to make it 26-19. An Oak Hill bucket and two free throws from DeWitt made it 28-21, when the Eagles hit three buckets in a row, one a three pointer, to increase their lead to 34-21. The Lady Squires refused to give in, getting buckets from DeWitt and kept the deficit at 9 to the end of the quarter. Manchester trailed 38-29 after three. The fourth quarter was a free throw fest for Oak Hill, as they scored the first 17 points of the quarter, 9 on free throws as they pulled away from Manchester to lead 5529 before the Squires scored. Tabby DeWitt would get a bucket and the Squires got two free throws from Celina Carter to make the final score 60-33. L e a d i n g Manchester was Tabby DeWitt with 16 points. Cierra Carter added 6, Celina Carter 4, Kaitlyn Parrett 4, Sydney Snep 2, Emily Haecker 1. The varsity boys would be the final game of the night and they needed a win to even the night in a 2-2 tie. Manchester led at every stop on their way to a 58-49 win over the Eagles to improve to 2-0 on the season. Clayton Petrie got the Squires going

with a three that put Manchester up 3-1, then a second three from Cameron Brandenburg to lead 6-3. Oak Hill matched the second three with one of their own to make it 6-6, and with the score tied at 7, the Squires would get their third three of the quarter, this time from Claudell Dickantone, to lead 10-7 and led 10-9 at the stop. Manchester had the early hot hand in the second quarter, with Brandenburg hitting a free throw that was followed by a Dickantone bucket and a steal for a bucket from Chase Fierstos to lead 15-9. The Eagles would score after a time out, but the Squires remained hot. Brandenburg would connect from behind the arch again and Dickantone followed with a bucket as they increased their lead to 20-11. Up 22-16 Petrie would convert two free throws, and Braydon Sewell would drain a two as the Squires led 25-16 at the half. Oak Hill would have the hot hand and make a run to start the third quarter. The Eagles would score the first 9 points of the quarter to knot the game at 25 before the Squires found the bucket. Claudell Dickantone gave Manchester a brief 27-25 lead before the Eagles hit two straight to lead 29-27. Down 32-28 after an Oak Hill three, Manchester went to work. The Squires got a three and two free throws from Clayton Petrie and later a steal for a bucket from Dickantone to lead 3532. Oak Hill would hit at the buzzer and

Manchester led 35-34 with a quarter to go. Chase Fierstos would get a bucket off a steal to start the scoring in the fourth, and after an Eagle bucket, it was 37-35. With Clayton Petrie having the hot hand in the third, the Squires found him again with Petrie hitting a free throw and a three to put Manchester up 41-35. The Eagles would claw their way back into the game, and with under three minutes, closed the gap to 46-42. With the Squires milking the clock, the Eagles started to foul. Petrie would hit one free throw, and with 1:56 r e m a i n i n g , Dickantone would sink two more for a 5042 lead. Continuing to foul, Oak Hill had the lead cut to 51-47 with

under a minute to go when things changed. Brandenburg would hit a free throw, and the Squires increased defensive pressure to force an over and back. An Oak Hill foul with Fierstos hitting two freebies made it 54-47 with 43.8 on the clock. The Squires made a stop on a Branden Scott steal with Oak Hill fouling Scott with 27.1 left. Scott would convert both free throws to make it 56-47 and later hit two more for the 58-49 final. L e a d i n g Manchester was Claudell Dickantone with 17 points. Clayton Petrie added 15, Chase Fierstos 8, C a m e r o n Brandenburg 8, Braydon Sewell 5, and Branden Scott 5.

Brad Sherwood talks about improv, mousetraps, and his upcoming show with Colin Mochrie at Honeywell

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Monday, Dec. 2, improvisational comedian and “Whose Line is it Anyway” regular Brad Sherwood took time out of his busy schedule to talk with us about his upcoming show at the Honeywell Center with fellow comedian Colin Mochrie. The two-man show hits the stage Friday, Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m. The duo has been on the road performing the show together for 10 years. Eric: When was the last time you were in Wabash? Brad: Oh man, it hasn’t been that long, but we’ve been there a bunch of times. Eric: What comes to mind when you think of Wabash? Brad: Well, the Cannonball, you know, obviously. I have family that is from Indiana, so I spent a lot of time outside of Chicago in the Lake County area, so that’s not exactly right near you guys, but yeah. Its my dad’s side, so my grandparents and all of my great-aunts and uncles and all of that. I spent the summers outside of Chicago. I was born and raised in Chicago. Eric: What’s different about this show compared to “Whose Line is it Anyway?” Brad: “The only difference is that there’s two of us and we use a lot more people up on stage. You know, in “Whose Line,” they would bring up like one or two people throughout a show and use some suggestions from the audience, but in this show that Colin and I do, everything is based on audience suggestions and were bringing lots of people up on stage throughout the whole show. It’s very interactive, and I think its fun for people who are fans of “Whose Line” to see it live, because then they really realize that we are making it up. I think that lots of people thought that we got hints from the producers about what the content was going to be right before we got to improvise, but we really don’t get to do that. Eric: Do you guys do any kind of preparation before the show? Brad: No, we don’t. The preparation is in all the years that we’ve

been doing improv. Because you don’t know what’s going to happen on stage, you can’t really prepare, other than having gotten good at doing it, if that makes sense. Eric: How many years is that for you? Brad: Oh gosh, I started doing improv probably when I was 21, so almost 30 years. I’ve been doing it about 28 years. Eric: I assume every show is completely different, but is there anything that does stay the same from show to show? Brad: The only thing that is set on any given night is the games that we’re going to play, and even that list changes from night to night, based on what we feel like doing, based on the theatre and all that jazz, but really, pretty much it’s flying by the seat of your pants every night. Eric: Do you ever bomb? Brad: Uh, Colin does, but I don’t. Eric: I figured you’d say something like that. What’s with the mousetraps? Brad: Oh that is just the dumbest thing we do. We play a game called mousetraps and we put 100 live mousetraps, they’re all set out on stage, and then we’re blindfolded, and we take our shoes and socks off and try and do a normal improv scene on stage while walking around not being able to see where these mousetraps are, so they’re going off on our feet, on our toes, and I would say of all of the games on our show that’s probably the least improv-based, but the audience loves it, because they like to see pain, I guess. Eric: Where did that come from? Who came up with that idea? Brad: Well, that was a game that I had done in a group long ago. I was in a group called Theatre Sports, and they had hundreds of different types of games that people had come up with over the years, and some of them had never even been played, but just all weird games, and this was one of them, and I went to do a show in Amsterdam with some friends of mine and I said, “why don’t we try the mousetrap game one night, and we did, and it was very

fun and successful, and so I suggested it when we were doing some shows with Drew and the gang during the Super Bowl in Vegas and it worked great, so Colin and I do it from time to time in our show now. Eric: Speaking of Colin, how long have you known him? Brad: Oh gosh, I’ve known Colin, I believe like 23 years. Eric: And you guys started working together in Britain. Is that correct? Brad: Yes, we did the British version. I was on three seasons of the British version. Colin I think did like five seasons. Eric: Is there any big difference between performing for a British audience and performing for an American audience? Brad: Not at all. I mean, we’ve done shows in England, we’ve done shows in Australia, India, and there’s really no difference, you know, anyone that speaks your language. Any given night an audience is going to have a different energy than the place before but there’s no difference. You know, I would say there’s probably a bigger difference between audiences in the New England area and the South than there are between your general U.S. audience and England. Eric: What brought you and Colin together for this show as opposed to you and any other comedian out there? Brad: Oh, you know, we’ve just been performing together, you know on “Whose Line” and the live shows we did with all the gang, and I was performing doing a two man improv show with a buddy of mine in comedy clubs across the country and I had seen that a two man show could work, so I approached Colin and said, “you wanna give this a try?” and we tried it 10 years ago, we did a two week tour, and it went so well that we never stopped. We’ve been touring non-stop for ten years now. Eric: Speaking of that, is this really the longest running international improv show? Brad: I really believe it is. He and I

started ten years ago and we’ve really never stopped in ten years. You know, you think about comics, and they stop and take a year off to write new material, and I don’t think anybody else has been going that long. Maybe Wayne [Brady] has, but pretty much, we’re it. Eric: When you look over those ten years, are there any shows or events that stick out? Brad: Oh yeah, I would say the one that I remember very clearly, we did the W a s h i n g t o n Congressional Correspondents and Radio Arts Dinner or whatever it’s called. We performed in front of all the muckitymucks and we ended up bringing Karl Rove up on stage to do a rap with us. It was on CSPAN and the whole thing went viral and everybody was talking about it for a couple days afterward. Eric: That was actually the next question on my list, about the Correspondents Dinner. Brad: Ya that was pretty surreal, you know, we were sitting there having dinner and he was sitting at a table right near ours, so I knew where he was, and I thought, “when we go up there, I’m gonna run over to his table and ask him to come up on stage with us,” and just like in our regular show, you never know if someone is going to say yes or no, and I thought, “well, he’ll

probably say no, and then I’ll pick someone else,” but he stood up and raised his hands and came up on stage with us. The rest was sort of YouTube history. Eric: People coming to the show, what should they expect? Brad: Expect the unexpected, really, I mean, it’s completely made up. We use audience members up on stage with us, so it’s really just this free for all. We hand them the keys to the car and they drive us where they want to go. Eric: Is there anything else you’d like to

add that people should know? Brad: People should

know for sure that I’m funnier than Colin, and that’s it.

THE PAPER

Family creates the John W. Daywalt Scholarship Endowment in the Community Foundation of Wabash County The Community Foundation of Wabash County and Kathleen Daywalt, wife of the late John Wesley Daywalt, are pleased to announce the creation of the John W. Daywalt S c h o l a r s h i p Endowment in the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County. Kathleen Daywalt established the John W. Daywalt S c h o l a r s h i p Endowment to memorialize John. The endowment will provide scholarships to Wabash High School graduates who have been accepted into one of the three Indiana Colleges of Pharmacy, specifically Butler University College of Pharmacy and Health Science, M a n c h e s t e r University College of Pharmacy or Purdue University College of Pharmacy. The scholarship award will be made to the College of Pharmacy and commence upon acceptance and matriculation into the Doctor of Pharmacy program. The scholarship shall not be provided for pre-pharmacy undergraduate course work. The scholarship is renewable up to three years, contingent upon academic standing. Eligible candidates will have satisfactorily completed the requisite undergraduate prepharmacy course work and will pursue, on a full-time basis, a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) degree. Eligible candidates shall have maintained in high school a minimum grade point average of 3.25 on a 4point scale, or equivalent. Selection criteria shall be demon-

strated financial need, academic performance and work ethic. Mr. Daywalt was born in 1921 and grew up in Union Mills, from where he walked about a mile a day to attend Wabash City Schools. At the young age of 14 he began working for Gackenheimer Pharmacies delivering prescriptions on bicycle to customers and physicians. According to Mrs. Daywalt, it was Robert Gackenheimer who in 1939 suggested to John, upon his graduation from high school, that he “come along with me to the Indianapolis School of Pharmacy. Robert loaned John $25.00 to attend.” A d d i t i o n a l l y, Wabash citizen, Mrs. Baer also gave John money to attend his first year of Pharmacy School. Eventually he was awarded a scholarship and graduated valedictorian in 1943 from the Indianapolis School, now Butler University, after which he entered the U.S. Navy where he served as Pharmacist’s Mate 2nd Class during World War II. After the war, John served in Great Lakes and San Diego Naval Stations before returning to Gackenheimer’s in Wabash. He married Kathleen D. Pressler in 1948. Kathleen graduated from LaFontaine High School, having grown up in Treaty. John sponsored Kate as a candidate in the Indiana Gladiola Ball. At the time, Kathleen worked at General Electric and rented an apartment on West

Main Street on a weekly basis. She won the queen contest in 1947, and soon after went to work at Hetzner’s Jewelry store until 1950. According to Kathleen, “what John loved about pharmacy was that he loved to help people.” She adds, “There were plenty of people who consulted John before a physician, they were fond to say, “John Daywalt, he’s my doctor.” When ask why she elected to create the scholarship endowment, Kathleen responds, “Just because it was the love of John’s life, mine too.” In establishing the endowment, Kathleen helps students pursue a career in pharmacy and preserves the memory of her husband, his love of pharmacy, and his exemplary life of dedication to Wabash. “John was a tireless worker,” remembers Kathleen, “he was always very busy every minute, not only in work, having established the Daywalt Pharmacy in 1964, but also in significant community organizations.” Mr. Daywalt was a member and past president of the Wabash Area Chamber of Commerce and in 1978 was named Wabash Chamber Retailer of the Year. He served as a member and president of the Wabash City School Board, and a member of the Wabash City Council. In addition, John provided his time and wisdom to two city churches, — the Wabash Church of Christ and the Wabash Christian Church, where he served as deacon. Daywalt was also a

member of the Hanna Masonic Lodge #61, Fort Wayne Scottish Rite and Mizpah Shrine, the Wabash Shrine Club, and the American Legion Post 15. “We are very pleased to establish the endowment for this planned gift,” said Patty Grant, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of Wabash County. “We understand that the expensiveness of the doctorate program in pharmacy is prohibitive to many qualified students. It has been a pleasure to work with Kathleen and her attorney to accomplish her charitable goals—to help deserving students and remember her husband’s life’s work.” According to David M c F a d d e n , M a n c h e s t e r University Executive Vice President and Dean of the College of Pharmacy “Colleges of pharmacy offer little if any institutional financial aid for their doctorate program, and other undergraduate institutional financial aid packages are forfeited when accepted into the Pharm.D. program. A pharmacy education today easily exceeds $100,000 for four years and sometimes much more. Every scholarship a student receives helps reduce the number of hours they work to pay for school or their need to take out student loans. Every dollar matters.” Patty adds, “With this endowment, Mrs.

Daywalt has smartly and strategically planned a future gift which not only remembers a significant life but also changes another by providing financial support when it is most needed and otherwise least available. We are grateful to work with such a generous and forward thinking person.” “I am pleased to establish this endow-

ment,” says Kathleen. “John loved his work, his family, his two

children, and his community. Hopefully (continued on page 28)

Apaches win opener at Oak Hill by Gary Andrews The Wabash Apache boys’ varsity basketball team did s o m e t h i n g Wednesday they hadn’t done since 1972; they won at Oak Hill. The Apaches used a balanced scoring attack with 10 players scoring in a 68-55 opening night win. The game started like a track meet, with high tempo and plenty of shots fired. After the dust settled Oak Hill led 22-20 after the first stop.

Wabash would turn up the heat on defense in the second quarter, holding the Eagles to just 6 points, scoring 12 and leading 32-28 at the half.

Wabash County Christmas Spirit committee requesting donations and volunteers from the community

The committee for Wabash County Christmas Spirit, organized to take over some of the activities once performed by Operation Elf of Wabash, is asking people in the local Wabash County area to purchase gifts for local children, donate money for the purchase of gifts, and volunteer for the upcoming holiday season. Volunteers will be asked to assist in the preparation and delivery of gift packages to local children. Volunteers will be needed between the dates of Nov. 24 and Dec. 21. The committee has prepared a block schedule of times available for those interested in offering their time for this program. The hours for volun-

teers to work are as follows: Monday through Friday from 4-8 p.m., Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 1-5 p.m. Dec. 13 they will be closed. Those interested in purchasing a gift for a child, or group of children, can pick up that information at the following locations: Christ United Methodist Church, First Farmers Bank & Trust, Ivy Tech Community College, Miller’s Merry Manor, Treaty Church of Christ, Wabash Alliance Church, Wabash Christian Church, Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, Wabash County YMCA, Wabash Friends Church, and Wabash MPI Carver. Gifts that are pur-

chased for children should also be dropped off at the same location where information cards were picked up. Those people interested in helping this holiday season should contact Emily Gardner at the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce at 260-563-1168, or by email at emily@wabashchamber.org People or Businesses wishing to give monetary donations should contact Pastor Melinda Kammerer of the Wabash Christian Church at 260-563-4179.

Knights dominate Southern Wells in opener

by Gary Andrews The Southwood boys varsity basketball team did the

same thing to Southern Wells in their opening game that the football team did

in the sectional, DOMINATE. Southwood jumped on the Raiders in the first quarter and never let up, winning on opening night 7042. After Southern Wells got the first bucket of the game, senior Jackson Blair said “that’s enough.” Blair would hit a bucket and three free throws to give the Knights a 5-2 lead. The Raiders would answer with three points. The game was tied at 7 when the Knights took over. Blair and Noah Kirk would drain back-toback three’s to go up 13-7, followed by two Corey Phillipy free throws for a 15-7 lead. The Knights led 15-9 after one. The Knights would start the second quarter with a 12-0 run to open things up. Blair connected on his second three

pointer, then stole the ball, feeding Ross Phillipy for a deuce. Corey Phillipy would then hit two free throws and a bucket around a Blair bucket to make it 269. Alex Harmon ended the run with a free throw, and the Knights were in control. A bucket and a free throw from Harmon built the lead to 32-13 when the Knights went cold, and the Raiders got hot. Southern Wells would score 9 straight points to close the gap to 32-22 at the half. As the Knights did in the second quarter, they started the third on fire. Blair would hit and was backed up by a Corey Phillipy old fashion three point play, but they weren’t done. Corey Phillipy would sandwich two free throws between two Noah Kirk three’s and the lead was 4522. Corey Phillipy

would take over, scoring 10 points in the quarter as Southwood led 54-32 with a quarter to go. To start the fourth, Corey Phillipy started where he left off, hitting two buckets around a Blair three and the lead jumped to 61-32. After an 8 point Raider run made it 61-40, Corey Phillipy would hit two more times with brother Ross hitting a free throw and

Luke Elliott making a bucket for a 68-40 lead. Logan Paris would get the final two points on free throws as the Knights rolled 70-42. Leading the Knights was Corey Phillipy with 26 points, 6 rebounds, 9 steals. Jackson Blair added 19 points, 3 assists. Noah Kirk had 9 points, Alex Harmon 6, Ross Phillipy 5. Harmon added 4 rebounds, 3 steals.

Ross Phillipy had 5 rebounds. The junior varsity topped Southern Wells 49-25. Brandin Frazier led with 12 points. Matt Cox had 10 points, 2 assists. Clay Hinrichsen had 9 points, 7 rebounds, 4 steals. Blake Martz had 7 points. Christian Deeter added 7 rebounds. The Finicle brothers, Andrew and Jeffery had 2 steals each.

The Gulf South Conference released the All-GSC picks for the 2013 season, and the Blazer Volleyball program was well represented, as Head Coach Mike Swan has been named the Gulf South Conference Coach of the Year.

places like Morehead, Ky. and Evansville. In less than one full season, Swan has led the program to a second place position in the league heading into the GSC Tournament, trailing only the nationally ranked West Florida Argonauts. With Swan at the helm in 2013, the Blazers opened up the 2013 campaign with a scorching hot 12-2 record, the program’s best start since 1999. Although

the team has cooled off a bit since then, the Blazers still finished the regular season 19-13, accounting for the team’s largest win total since 2010 and only the second time in the past seven years that the program has finished with 19 wins or more. The announcement marks the first time in history that a Valdosta State Coach has been named the GSC Coach of the Year, and Swan is humbled

Crossroad Child and Family Services assists Wabash County by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com Earlier this year, a new branch of a wellknown Fort Wayne company opened their doors in Huntington. “Crossroad Child and Family Services is a 130-year-old facility that has as its primary mission to provide therapy, education, and family support services to troubled kids and their families,” said President and CEO Randall Rider. The primary location in Fort Wayne focuses mostly on children and adolescents, with the new location serving a wider variety of patients. “We recently opened an outpatient therapy office in

Huntington in March of 2013,” said Rider. “In that facility, we’re providing outpatient counseling services to children, adolescents, adults and couples.” When it comes to effective care, Rider says the key is communication. “I think that the most significant thing is to ensure a match between the needs of the client and the ability of the therapist.” “In our outpatient site in Huntington, we’re dealing with some behavioral issues with children acting out problems in school, adult individuals with depression and anxiety, and adult individuals with relationship problems, marital issues. The staff that we have presently working

down there has a long experience with a variety of different kinds of disorders,” explains Randall. The Huntington branch of Crossroad has experienced staff in all levels. “My primary task here is administration. The director of our Huntington office is Wendy GriffinAllen. Wendy is a licensed parent and family therapist. She brings a wide variety of experience to that office,” Randall told The Paper. Randall himself started out with Crossroad as a therapist and has worked in nearly every position for the agency, including therapist and treatment team leader, vice president of professional services and chief admin-

People find their way to Crossroad through a variety of means. “On an outpatient basis, we’re on many if not most insurance panels; people find their way to us as directed by their insurance companies or as directed by a friend who was satisfied with our service that they got,” said Randall. With 130 years of

growing, Crossroad has a long and diverse history. It all started with a church. “In 1883, the German Reformed Church founded what was then an orphanage. The German Reformed Church is today, as a result of several merges, a part of the United Church of Christ,” said Randall. “After the orphanage closed, we dealt with dependent children who still had living parents but perhaps they had poverty or some other circumstance where they could not care for their children. We provided that care.”

by Gary Andrews The Southwood Lady Knight basketball team suffered their first loss of the season Tuesday in a 51-39 loss to Oak Hill on the road. Southwood led at the first two stops before a turnover plagued second half did them in. Amy Bowman got the scoring started with two free throws, and with the Knights leading 8-4 after buckets from Brooke Elliott and Katie Stouffer, Oak Hill would hit five straight free throws to take an 11-10 lead. Trailing 1310 after two more Eagle free throws and two Knights on the bench with foul trouble, Abby Houlihan would come off the bench to hit two straight buckets and give Southwood a 1413 lead. After an Oak Hill bucket, Elliott

would connect with 15 seconds remaining and the Knights led 16-15 after one. Bowman would connect again to start the second quarter, and after an Eagle three, the game was tied at 18. Emilie Harnish would then hit from behind the arch to put the Knights back up, and after an Oak Hill bucket and buckets from Houlihan and Meranda Friend, Southwood led 25-20. Oak Hill would answer with a three to make it 25-23. Haley Heath would convert one free throw, while the Eagles hit two, and Southwood led 2625 at the half. Southwood would get off to a good start in the third before things went south. Katie Stouffer would give the Knights a 2825 lead, and after an Amy Bowman bucket,

they led 30-27. The Knights would not find the bucket again for the next five minutes as Oak Hill scored 12 straight points to take a 39-30 lead. Haley Heath ended the drought with a bucket with .45 left, but Oak Hill answered and led the Knights 41-32 with a quarter to go. Oak Hill would play “milk the clock” in the fourth while the Knights tried to play catch up, with the Knights only converting two buckets and two free throws in route to their 51-39 loss. The Knights shot 17 of 41, 1 of 4 from behind the arch. Southwood was out rebounded 20-32. Coach Dallas Duggan said “We got mentally tired in the third quarter. We played hard and had looks, but turnovers

ate us alive in the second half.” Amy Bowman led Southwood with 14 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals. Haley Heath had 6 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals. Abby Houlihan had 6 points, 2 assists. Katie Stouffer had 4 points, 3 rebounds, 4 blocks. Brooke Elliott had 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block. Emilie Harnish had 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal, 1 block. Meranda Friend had 2 points, 1 steal. The junior varsity fell 34-30 in overtime. Taylor Heath led with 12 points. Ashley Parson added 6, Kelly Schmidt 4, Danielle Pegg 4, Makenna Dawes 2, Kassidy Atwood 2. Parson and Heath led in rebounding with 4 each. Dawes had 3 assists, Heath 5 steals.

on serving more complex situations that maybe could not find services anywhere else,” said Randall. While a church started Crossroad, the agency has moved with society to provide well-rounded care to its patients. “The church influence is present in why we do what we do, it’s not reflected in how we do what we do,” said Randall. “I think the values drive the work of the organization, but in 2013 we have technically trained therapists and nurses and psychologists delivering services as you would find at any other clinic.”

Crossroad then expanded their orphanage to serve more than just children. “There was a period in our history where we operated a maternity home and placed lots of kids for adoption throughout Indiana, Ohio and Michigan,” said Randall. That service ended when society values changed about putting children up for adoption. More and more teenage and unwed mothers were keeping their babies. “Since about the mid-70s, the agency has been refocused to begin serving mostly disturbed kids and we particularly focus

Personal income increases $1.2 billion in Northeast Indiana The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released 2012 per capita personal income numbers this week

and there is good news for Northeast Indiana. There is now $1.2 billion more in personal income cir-

culating in Northeast Indiana’s economy than there was last year. Northeast Indiana is outpacing

the nation in growth with the region demonstrating a 5 percent growth rate versus the national rate of 3.4 percent. The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership is tracking per capita personal income relative to the nation as the core call to action for the Vision 2020 initiative.

In 2009, per capita income in Northeast Indiana was 79 percent of that for the nation (NEI: $31,146; US: $39,357) and now Northeast Indiana is at 81.2 percent (NEI: $35,509; US: $43,735). For the past several decades, per capita personal income in Northeast Indiana has been declining

relative the nation and that trend has been effectively reversed in the past three years. “Reversing this downward trend in per capita income is a great affirmation of our collaborative efforts here in the region,” said John Sampson, president and CEO of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership. “We are on the right track and making visible progress, but there is still much work to be done. We must continue to gain ground and close the gap to become the top global competitor we know this region can be.” Additional good news for the region was also released recently in regard to

unemployment. Unemployment in Northeast Indiana has declined again this month, now standing at 6.55 percent compared to 7.8 percent in October of last year and compared to the nation’s current rate of 7.3 percent. The last time the unemployment rate in the region was below 7 percent was in November of 2008. “This is great news for the region. As in any economic recovery period, there is still work to be done in terms of engaging workers affected by the recession back into the workforce, but this is definitely positive progress,” said Ellen Cutter, director of the Community Research Institute at IPFW. The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership was formed in 2006 to help build a globally competitive economy in Northeast Indiana. It is a public-private partnership focused on generating business leads and building regional capacity through product development and effective regional collaboration. The Northeast Indiana Fund was created in 2005 to operate as a supporting organization of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, focused specifically on product development and regional collaboration. In 2010, the Partnership launched Vision 2020 to bring the region together around five key areas for economic growth: 21st Century Talent, Competitive Business C l i m a t e , E n t re p re n e u r s h i p, Infrastructure and Quality of Life. Through its combined efforts in business development and capacity building, the Partnership supports its 10 member counties: Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley.

MU students host sit-in against HJR-6 by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com Throughout the state, several colleges and universities have decided to publicly oppose HJR-6, an Indiana amendment proposing to permanently make same-sex marriages illegal, including Indiana University, Eli Lilly, DePauw University and Wabash College. After a petition to join these colleges signed by students, faculty and staff at MU was presented to the University, the school chose to stay neutral. This led to the students and faculty from the United Sexualities and Peace Studies clubs to organize a sitin to express their feelings on HJR-6. Darcy Robins, president of United Sexualities, and Becca Creath, Peace Studies Coordinator, teamed up to organize a sit-in for last Tuesday in front of The Union, the University’s most popular dining area. “We had a brainstorming table that had a large piece of paper on it that people could write their ideas of how to make Manchester more inclusive for everyone,” Robins told The Paper. “People, students, staff, alumni, whoever was there, were asked to write down any ideas.” The list of ideas will be emailed to the University with the hope that some will be put in place. Students who rejected HJR-6 were also invited to sign a large banner that had HJR-6 sitting in a red circle with a line through it. “We had a petition started up on a laptop that we started online at ipetitions.com,” said Robins. “We also had a writing table where people could write letters to their representatives and senators and legislators.” Robins also stressed that this was not a protest to the University. “Our main goal was to have a peaceful, quiet sit-in. It was really just asking for solidarity for the LGBTQ community.” Attendees also played and listened to music. “We just hung out

and supported one another,” said Robins. “Those who rejected HJR-6 had the opportunity to educate themselves on what it is. It was just a way to tell people, ‘Hey, we’re here for you.’” Students did not have an issue with others trying to disrupt the event. “I’ve talked with a couple of people who have sided with the school, saying it was a great move by remaining neutral and fostering conversations,” Robins said. “I agree that they are fostering conversations, but I don’t agree with their decision at all. It’s just not good in my eyes.” The University organized a meeting the Friday before the sit-in where anyone could ask questions to the cabinet about the University’s decision. “That was really nice,” said Robins. “We were heard. The cabinet got sent emails and letters and got phone calls and they responded as quickly as they could and still are responding.” The meeting lasted an hour and was an open-floor concept. The cabinet as a whole expressed its stance as a University to remain neutral, however individual views did surface. “They all said each one of them rejected HJR-6,” said Robins. “But they came out as a school to stay neutral because they haven’t said anything about civil rights issues before and they don’t want to start it now.” Robins presented a new petition to the members of the cabinet and asked if those who opposed HJR-6 would sign it, and all cabinet members said they would. About 60-75 people showed up to the sit-in throughout the day, and many stopped by on their way to class or lunch to get more information on the subject. “People were asking questions, people were definitely engaged,” Robins said. “And that’s what we were there for, to have that conversation.” The immediate goal for the organizers of the event is to keep the conversation going. Students plan to (continued on page 40)

THE PAPER 40 MU students host sit-in against HJR-6... continued from page 37 www.thepaperofwabash.com

requesting more from the University to support the LGBTQ community. “We want genderneutral bathrooms in all of the resident halls and at least one in every academic building,” explained Robins. “We’re going to push

for more trans-inclusive language, so when people register to go to Manchester they can put their gender-preferred pronoun and preferred name.” Students would also like to have an LGBTQ activist on campus. “Just like we have

someone in the Intercultural Center and the Disability Center, we’re trying to get someone to coordinate activities on campus and have conventions,” said Robins. Gender-neutral bathrooms are much like community bathrooms.

They are not family restrooms and will not have a baby-changing station. “It’s really for people who either don’t want to walk so far to another restroom or people who might identify as male and don’t feel comfortable in an all-

female bathroom,” said Robins. “We want them to be handicap accessible, have a shower, so people feel safe showering if they don’t, and just to raise awareness,” said Robins. “We need to be more inclusive as a campus and more

trans-aware.” Robins and some other students and faculty members started requesting these bathrooms last year with a project called “Operation Potty in Peace.” For right now though, students are

still focusing on HJR-6. “We’re just still trying to educate,” said Robins. “That’s the biggest thing I can say, is just to have those conversations and to be more inclusive. Now we just wait until January when everything will be presented to Congress.
