Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Wabash residents team up to leave mark on community over 8,000 miles away by Brent Swan On Feb. 24, a team of volunteers met at Max Meyer’s farm in rural Wabash to load a 40foot long container that will be shipped overseas to a village in Malawi, Africa. The group, sponsored in part by Circle of Hope International and Roann Church of the Brethren, packed the trailer full of usable equipment ranging anywhere from basic medical supplies to a tractor and three-row planter. What started after a guest speaker at the Roann Church of

Brethren has now led the group of volunteers to donate time, money and services to aid in a community development mission Circle of Hope International operates in rural Malawi. “We at Circle of Hope International take care of orphaned and at risk children in the community,” Circle of Hope Director Karen Roller said. “We have an orphanage, preschool, and medical program, partnering with a local church in Malawi to do that work. Our

idea is that when we train the community to help themselves then they can do that job better than we can.” That model has helped the organization promote better nutrition and agricultural practices among many other fundamental changes. One such example of the organization’s

attempt to improve agricultural practices in Malawi involved the most basic of changes. “All their farming is done by hand,” Austin Carrothers said. “They are way behind when it comes to things like precision planting, where farmers here in the United States know you put one seed in a hole - a lot of the farmers in Malawi might plant three. We know more about plant health and fertilizer. We try to help them learn about how to improve their practices.”

Carrothers is set to make his second trip to Malawi this month, before taking his entire family in June to gauge their interest in moving to Malawi. “It hasn’t been a hard decision at all really,” Carrothers said of the decision to go back and possibly make the move. “It’s something we’ve thought about doing as a family for a long time now and we’ve just been waiting on confirmation that this is what we were meant to do.” The most memorable moments from his experience in Malawi comes upon arrival to the community for the first time. Not knowing what to expect while pulling up to the village, the reception left a permanent impression upon Carrothers. “ T h e y will have usually gathered all the pastors in the area, all the volunteers a n d employees at the orphanage, and the kids that are in the feeding program, so

the first sight you see are the happiest people you have ever seen in your life, with love to back it up,” Carrothers explained. “People over there are very nice and loving.” After coming back from his first trip, Carrothers had talked about going back to Malawi for quite awhile before finalizing this upcoming trip. Scheduling a trip for local residents had presented a form of a challenge as the slow time of the year in Wabash County, winter, runs hand in hand with the famine season in Malawi. While speaking with Roller, Carrothers noted there was no time of greater need than March in Malawi. As the amount of corn reserves from the previous season in Malawi begin to dwindle, this year’s crop is not yet ready for harvest. “I said to her that isn’t this when we are needed the most?” Carrothers explained. “After agreeing to that, we got a group together and began seeking donations to take over there.” This past year, two pastors from Malawi made the trip to the United States to visit the very people that

had visited them previously. “It was harvest season here in Indiana and in Texas,” Carrothers said. “The guys had never been around farm machinery, much less driven it, as they farm entirely by hand in Malawi. They dig the holes to plant the seeds in and they shuck the corn by hand. As soon as they got on a tractor and realized they could do as much in five minutes as they can do in six months over in Malawi they were sold on a tractor forever.” At that point, Roller said the organization began to hope, and pray, to have the opportunity to send a tractor over to the village. “Three or four weeks ago, we got a tractor donated by a couple in Texas, Elroy and Vickie Wisian,” Roller said. “I texted Austin the minute I got off the phone and told him we had a tractor – now what?” Carrothers then flew down to Texas to pick up the John Deere utility tractor and load it into a UHaul van to bring it back to Indiana, where it was loaded Feb. 24, alongside a three-row planter, (continued on page 6)

Halderman celebrated as Distinguished Ag Alumni

H o w a r d Halderman, Wabash, has been awarded the Distinguished Agriculture Alumni (DAA) Award, one of the top honors presented annually by the College of Agriculture at Purdue University. He and nine other honorees will be recognized on March 2 during a reception and convocation at the Purdue Memorial Union. The DAA awards have been presented

each year since 1992 to honor mid–career Purdue Agriculture graduates who have made significant contributions to their profession or society in general and have a record of outstanding accomplishments, said Jay Akridge, Glenn W. Sample Dean of Agriculture. “The College of Agriculture gives out six to ten of these awards every year,” H a l d e r m a n explained. “It’s a recognition for alum-

ni who have contributed to agriculture in a variety of different ways.” Halderman, nominated due to his work with Halderman Real Estate and Halderman Farm Management, said the award is humbling. “To me this award is a culmination of a lot of different contributions from different people,” Halderman said. “I would not have been able to gain this individual recognition if

it were not for the contributions of the 30 or 40 plus people involved in this business and our family.” In describing what initially drew Halderman to Purdue, Halderman explained Purdue had been a part of the Halderman family for years. “Our family business has always been centered around agriculture and as I went through Northfield High School and con(continued on page 6)

North Manchester and Wabash County Chambers announce date for Honor Student Luncheon

The Wabash County and North M a n c h e s t e r Chambers of Commerce will be cosponsoring the 11th Annual Honor Student Luncheon on April 19 at the Honeywell Center, 275 W. Market St, Wabash. The purpose of this luncheon is to honor top graduating seniors from local high schools (North M a n c h e s t e r, N o r t h f i e l d , Southwood, Wabash City and Whites), and to have an opportunity to encourage local talent to return to

their home county for employment opportunities during the summers or after graduation from their college experience. This is just a small step in the effort to cultivate the “brain gain” in Indiana, building our future workforce. This event has been overwhelmingly successful over the past 10 years. The Chambers of Commerce hope to build on this opportunity to meet and talk to our area’s finest young men and women. Students and businesses will be

paired according to area of vocational interest for maximum networking opportunity, as well as offering the students the chance to gain keen insights into real world aspects of that particular area of business. Internships and summer employment opportunities will also be announced. Mike Mattern, principal at W.C. Mills Elementary School, will be the keynote speaker. As an encouragement to have our students return and utilize

their talents in Wabash County, Mr. Mattern will reflect on his time spent away from the Wabash area and his reasons for returning to his home community. Manchester College will once again be the luncheon’s Academic Sponsor. Alexis Leininger Young, director of conference services for Manchester College will serve as the event emcee. The 2012 America’s Best Colleges guide of U.S. News & World Report ranks Manchester

College 19th in the Midwest among “Best Colleges” and fourth in its “Best Value Schools” ranking. MC has received the “Best College” ranking for 17 consecutive years. The Princeton Review college guide also consistently ranks Manchester as a “Best in the Midwest.” Supporters of the Honor Student Luncheon are encouraged to make reservations to attend and network with the students as well as sponsor student lunches. Invitations were recently mailed to

Car Quest to expand hours beginning first week of March by Brent Swan In a move described as putting their customers first, Wabash CARQUEST store manager Andy Tyler recently announced they would be expanding their hours to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. The store will remain closed on Sundays. “It’s for our customers,” Tyler said. “We’ve had cus-

tomers tell us they wished we were open just a little bit longer or open a little earlier. What we’ve sometimes run into with our current hours is that they might not have enough time to stop in before they have to go to work or when they get off from work. If we open up earlier and stay open later, those customers now have a chance to come in and get what they need.”

The decision to expand their hours was yet another way CARQUEST could put their customers first. This past May, the store relocated to its current downtown location at 410 S. Wabash St. “We had been located on the other side of town for 14 years,” Tyler explained. “After a while, we realized there’s a whole dynamic of people on the south side of

NEW HOURS: Wabash CARQUEST will now be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays at its 410 S. Wabash St. location. Pictured are (from left): Curt Hullinger, assistant store manager and Andy Tyler, store manager. (photo by Brent Swan)

the tracks that weren’t being taken care of, so we decided to relocate to accommodate those customers. We’re now centrally located to just about everyone.” Tyler was also quick to point out that being one of the few independently owned auto parts stores in the Wabash County area provides an advantage few might realize. “We can treat each individual person to what they need; we don’t have a corporate policy telling us how we need to treat people. We put peo-

ple first,” Tyler said. “We’re known as scroungers to a degree, as we can find parts for about anything. By being independently owned, we have the ability to look wherever we can for parts, not just a certain supplier.” In addition to auto parts, the Wabash CARQUEST features an array of industrial and agricultural parts. “We are customer service oriented beyond belief,” Tyler said. “We did this for our customers; it’s all about them.”

During Red Cross Month, help people in need by supporting American Red Cross During March, the American Red Cross is asking everyone to help people in need by supporting the lifesaving services it provides. “Please remember those who need our help and support the Red Cross by making a donation, becoming a volunteer, taking a class, or giving blood,” said Mitch Figert, executive director for the American Red Cross of North Central Indiana. “We want to thank everyone for

their generosity, which has enabled us help people here at home, across the United States, and around the world.” March is Red Cross Month, first proclaimed in 1943 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Since that time, every president, including President Obama, has designated March as Red Cross Month. The American Red Cross is synonymous with helping people, and has been doing so for more than 130 years.

The Red Cross responds to nearly 70,000 disasters a year in this country, providing shelter, food, emotional support and other necessities to those affected. It provides 24-hour support to members of the military, veterans and their families - in war zones, military hospitals and on military installations around the world; collects and distributes more than 40 percent of the nation’s blood supply and trains

more than 9 million people in first aid, water safety and other life-saving skills every year. Here in the North Central Indiana area, the American Red Cross responded to more than 145 local emergencies, assisted 175 military families and trained nearly 6,500 people in lifesaving skills. And, people from this area donated more than 11,500 units of blood. “Red Cross Month is a great time for peo-

Facebook, leadership and you

Wabash is privileged to have Christopher Dellen, director of marketing at Communications Products, Inc. from Indianapolis give one of the most creative presentations you will hear. He will speak on: From Strategy to Success: How to Squeeze Value from Social Media. You don’t have to be a marketer or owner of a business to learn from Dellen. His principles will apply to every level of the organization and every department. Dellen will help you develop a sound marketing strategy that includes the use of social media. He states, “Many organizations jump into social media because it’s popular and “free.” Without a clearly defined social strategy in place, your organization not only risks wasting tremendous amounts of time, but could seriously damage your brand as well.” You will learn how to define exactly what you want people to do - buy your product or service, support a cause, find new employees, help people use your product better, be aware of your skills for a job you are seeking or other purposes you or your organization values. Then you will define your target the type of

person/company that is so suited for your product/service that the competition is practically irrelevant. Thirdly, Dellen will teach you about “brand awareness” and how it is key to your marketing strategy. Fourthly, you will discover how your “conversion process” works - when a customer actually commits to a purchase. He will teach you what this conversion equation means: C = 4m + 3v + 2(i-f) - 2a. Finally, you will learn the processes to have in place that will nurture your prospects and create loyalty with your customers. Dellen is passionate about increasing the accountability, awareness, understanding and effectiveness of marketing. He has 11 years of marketing experience and received his undergraduate degree from Andrews University and his MBA from A n d e r s o n University’s Falls School of Business. In addition, he has developed a marketing model that has been successfully used by a number of organizations to develop effective marketing strategies. This leadership training will be held at Wabash Friends Church in the Family Center on March 1 from noon to 1 p.m. A light lunch from

Market Street Grill will be provided. This training is cosponsored by the Wabash Chamber of Commerce and the Wabash Friends Counseling Center. “We are glad to collaborate with the Wabash Chamber to bring this cutting edge marketing strategy to all the businesses in Wabash,” said Scott Makin, director of the Wabash Friends Counseling Center. “By bringing in high caliber resource people, this is just one more way the Chamber is serving its members and the Wabash community.” This leadership training can also be used personally for those who want to advance in their professional development. Dellen’s principles are very effective as you develop your personal brand and find ways to connect to key organizations or people that are part of your career development path. You can register by going online at www.wabashfriendscounseling.com and click on “Leadership Series” or call 260-5638453. This is the beginning of the sixth year that the Wabash Friends Counseling Center has provided monthly Leadership Luncheon Trainings to the Wabash com-

munity. Over 1,000 different leaders from 170 different businesses have attended. The purpose of these workshops is to help train local leaders to make a difference not only in the workplace, but in their families and community. Participants are also given a packet of other leadership resources such as a book review on the latest leadership book, a leadership article and a website focused on leadership.

after this group of volunteers has left the country, Carrothers is going to talk with the pastor in the community about making arrangements for the delivery of the container once it arrives in the capital city. The main focus of this trip, according to Carrothers, will be to spread God’s word during this famine period, while hoping to provide a sense of comfort to the villages. “There are Christians there that we are working with.

When asked how the group determines whether or not his work is a success, Carrothers replied, “Success is ultimately determined by where the Lord leads us over the next few years. In Malawi, just having enough food to give to the families over there would be a huge success. As long as you are working in the Lord’s name, being successful just requires effort on our part.”

Carrothers said. “There are witch doctors, but you learn just to ignore them and move on. It seems that in Malawi a man leaves his wife and kids out of the blue one day, never to return, much more often than what we are accustomed to here in the United States. In doing that, you take a very bad situation and make it worse. By leaving, the wife and kids have to fend for themselves when the only source of food is subsistence farming. Hopefully, by spreading God’s word you can help that situ-

CarQuest partners with Heartland Career Center students al manager is Kris Kramer. Through their efforts, several students have been offered internship opportunities during the 2011/2012 school year. At the Wabash CarQuest, 410 S. Wabash St., Wabash, two local students have been employed as interns, Coltyn Spicer (Southwood) and Cody May (Northfield). Spicer is a second year student in the Automotive Service program at Heartland, while May is a participant in the I . C . E . (Interdisciplinary C o o p e r a t i v e Education) program. Both students are able

to put in several hours daily to assist in the automotive store. According to Spicer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a fun experience. The guys at CarQuest are great to work with and it helps me to put my experience in automotive service into practice.â&#x20AC;? He indicated that his job is stocking shelves, keeping the store clean, helping customers and delivering parts. Andy Tyler, Wabash CarQuest store manager, finds the experience to be an asset for both CarQuest and the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no greater gift to give students than to teach them

our trade. The automotive industry desperately needs quality workers that are knowledgeable in the parts business. It is neat to see the boys come in early and leave late because they want to do such a good job.â&#x20AC;? The local employees and owners, Andy Tyler, Curt Hullinger, Kris Kramer and Mike Smith, share a combined experience of over 120 years, which is a strong learning environment for the students. Hullinger adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys have done a fine job. We have been pleased with both their attitudes and initiative.â&#x20AC;? Andy Tyler is also a former graduate of Heartland Career Center in 1981. As he reflects back, he recalls that his mentor was Bob Plunkett, Heartlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former assistant director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They gave me the opportunity to study automotive collision and repair. That started my foundation in the field. They also employed me after high school for several years part time in maintenance, security and janitorial serv-

ices. I find it a joy to be able to do the same for the students who join us at CarQuest. This experience has exceeded our expectations. We look forward to continuing to train these young men and possibly help them to find full-time work after school.â&#x20AC;? Dean Owens, H e a r t l a n d â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s Automotive Service instructor, expressed his gratitude to CarQuest for reaching out to these students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is such a great partnership. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match the experience that these companies provide to our students. We are grateful for their support of our students.â&#x20AC;?

Since the foundation of Heartland Career Center in the early 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (then known as Upper Wabash Valley Vocational), community partnerships have been a key to providing quality career training experiences. Local businesses and industries have provided both paid and volunteer experiences for students, invaluable tools in the educational process of the upand- coming workforce. Most recently, CarQuest has become a partner in education with Heartland. The local CarQuest is owned by Mike Smith, and the gener-

The Access Choices program offers resources and information for teens and parents by Danielle Swan DSmith@thepaperofwabash.com

Following the death of a Wabash High School senior due to a drug overdose last year, community members have began meeting to develop a program that will offer resources for parents and teens in a nonthreatening environment. “Out of that tragedy, a lot of people in the community wanted to get together and do

)'("$

activities, and partnered with them in this project. “They felt that possibly The Access could be a good avenue to start this program, whatever it might look like,” said Liz Hicks, director of The Access. The Access and the committee worked together to create the Choices program, which will be held on Tuesday nights beginning March 6. This program will take place immediately after the after school snack program concludes at 4:30. From 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., there will be a program for the youth, and from 5:30 to roughly 6:30 p.m. will be a time for parents to stop in and gather resources and information. For the youth program, which is open to kids in fifth-grade and higher, The Access will bring in various groups to give presentations to the kids. “For instance, the First Tuesday of

something more than what we are currently doing,” Wabash City Schools Superintendent Jason Callahan said. “One of the ideas borne out of that was that we need to try to provide more opportunities for parents to have resources and connections and maybe get their kids help before it’s too late.” The group eventually approached The Access, a community youth center that provides after-school

March is when we’re going to start and Nicole Hicks from the Tobacco Free Coalition will be coming over and she’ll be presenting for three Tuesdays and the fourth Tuesday we’ll take off,” Hicks explained. They also have a program conducted by Hands of Hope on safe dating planned. The hour-long youth portion of the program will be incentive-based, and will integrate games and activities to keep kids interested. “We want kids to understand that this isn’t going to be another hour of school here at The Access. We’re going to try to do it in a different light for them,” she said. As for incentives, several local businesses have already offered to donate coupons for free pizzas or sandwiches, and The Access is still accepting donations to offer prizes to kids for attendance of the programs. While some of the youth Choices program presentations may be about serious issues such as addiction or safe dating, Hicks also hopes to incorporate some presentations that will be more fun. “We’ve been in talks with a few people around the community about possibly doing an art program for three weeks, because in this Choices program, we want to not only give them information on how to make smart and healthy choices, but also give them alternatives of things to

do,” Hicks said. Hicks says the program may evolve over time as they learn what works best to reach out to the youth. “The Choices program is going to be a starting point. It may not look like this in six months or a year and then again, it may,” she said. The parental portion of the program will be the second half, and it is something that the committee considered extremely important to include. Basically, this is a time that the doors and phone lines are open to parents to come in and seek resources in dealing with issues their youth may be facing. “Liz and what they do down at The Access provides an environment with less pretense than they might feel coming into the school. I think the school and other organizations extend their hands and say ‘hey we’re here for you’, but oftentimes maybe those parents who need to really reach out have had bad experiences in schools and we feel like we’re missing some kids,” Callahan said. When the committee approached Hicks with this idea, she realized that this is something that has already begun happening at The Access. “This isn’t necessarily a brand new avenue for us, we’re just expanding it and we’re just making it a little more public and setting aside a time,” Hicks said. The Access plans to have brochures

and literature printed in order to compile all of the resources that are available to parents and teens in our area. “We’re not here to reinvent the wheel, we want to use resources in the community that already exist and we want to bring those together at a central location for kids and parents to come and benefit from the programs they have to offer,” she explained. She went on to say that if a parent needs to seek a particular resource or agency and they would like an Access staff member to accompany them,

that could be arranged. “We’re not just going to give them a number and say ‘good luck.’ If they don’t feel comfortable contacting these people on their own or going, we have staff members and trained volunteers that can go and sit with them and be present with them if that’ what they request,” Hicks said. While the time from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday evenings is set aside specifically for parents, they may visit The Access or call at any time at 260-563-2070. Parents may leave a message, and they are checked every 24 hours. If it is an urgent situation, Hicks can be reached on her cell phone at 260-568-2530. “Our kids are our most valuable resource. We often say in education that there is no stupid question and I would urge that if there are parents out there that have any concerns about what’s going on and they don’t know where to turn, to utilize this service,” Callahan concluded.

Honeywell Center adds second Riverdance performance Due to popular demand, a second Riverdance perform-

ance has been added when the internationally known dance

9405

group, presented by Wabash Valley Music Association, arrives in Wabash. The two performances are scheduled for March 22 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Few shows have touched audiences like Riverdance. A celebration of Irish music, song and dance, the show focuses on the evolution of Irish dance and its similarities with, and influences on, other cultures. The phenomenon of Riverdance draws on Irish traditions and combines the richness of the music with the magic and sensuality of the dance. Riverdance was originally conceived as a spectacular sevenminute intermission entertainment for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest televised throughout Europe to an audience of over 300 million viewers. Following the success of that performance,

producer Moya Doherty, composer Bill Whelan, and director John McColgan, expanded the piece into a full-length stage production. Riverdance had its world premiere at the Point Theatre, Dublin, in February, 1995, where it opened to unanimous critical acclaim. The show has taken the world by storm and to date, over 22 million people world-wide have seen Riverdance live. In addition, 10 million people have purchased video versions of the show, making it one of the best-selling entertainment videos in the world. Tickets for the 3 p.m. show go on sale Feb. 7 at 8 a.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Honeywell Center box office at (260) 5631102 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or by visiting www.honeywellcenter.org.

We’ve been asked.......

“Why should I prefund my funeral if I already have life insurance?” A fully-funded, advance funeral plan is an important component to any estate planas important as a will or life insurance. Each serves a distinct purpose.

Funeral Home, Inc.

Life insurance proceeds are intended to cover some of your survivors’ living expenses. A fully-funded advance funeral plan not only covers the expenses associated with your death, it also grows over time to cover inflation.

Wabash Knights place a second sonogram machine

On Feb. 3, The Matrix Pregnancy Center, Lafayette, received a sonogram machine sponsored

by Wabash Knights of Columbus Council. It is part of a nationwide program the Knights are conduct-

ing called the “ U l t r a s o u n d Initiative”. The way the program works is that once the sponsoring council raises half, the Supreme Council will match the other half of the cost of the machine. They raised $14,050 for The Matrix Pregnancy Center by donations, Bingo and a dinner. Matrix is the fifth center in Indiana to receive a sonogram machine and the second machine placed by the Wabash K n i g h t s . Nationwide, 196 machines have been placed. The reason

for this initiative is the Knights strong belief that “life begins at conception and ends in natural death.” It is a fact that over 90 percent of women who see a sonogram of their baby will carry it to term. It is odd how Wabash became involved with the Matrix Center, Melissa Lafayette. McAtee, the director of Matrix, was at a NIFLA training meeting and talked with Cheryl Meyers, the director of the Life Center, Wabash. Cheryl told her about the program because they were the first center in Indiana to receive a sonogram machine. The fundraising began in December 2011, the goal was met in January. Since the ultimate purpose is saving babies, the Knights objective is to place as many machines as possible all over the

WABASH KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS have placed another sonogram machine at a pregnancy center. The recipient of the machine is The Matrix Pregnancy Center, Lafayette.

If anyone reading this article knows of a center

ary’s preparing to serve, serving in the mission field and reentering life back home after their commitment is complete. There are several ways to support people in mission work, such as: moral, financial, prayer and logistics support. A comparison was given about what we spend on Valentine’s Day and how much we spend to support a missionary. A family member is presently serving in South America. Suggestions were given with points to pray on for missionaries and ways to communicate with them, such as letters, e-mails, visits or care packages. They are definitely called by God to serve. President Pam Smith shared information on self denial / call to worship, observed by UMW units. 2012 theme is “A Time for Change” (modern technology). UMW units contributed approximately $1 million, which assists needy children, youth and women through the self denial offerings. Richvalley UMW

offering is due March 7. Children from Democratic Republic of Congo were lifted in prayer from the UMW Prayer Calendar. Monthly reports were given by Joan Day and Ruth Dyson. Thank you cards were received from Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home, Hamilton Grove Foundation and Hands of Hope. Jean Wilson reviewed books of the Bible – Ezra (80-year captivity and rebuilding the temple); Nehemiah (rebuilding walls of Jerusalem and dedication); and Esther (becoming queen and about Haman and Mordecai). Members

are asked to read the book of Job for the next meeting. Cards were signed for many community people. The next meeting will be March 7 at 7 p.m. with Cindi Price in charge of the lesson; roll call response will be a verse from Mark; no refreshments will be served. March 2 and 3 is the Spiritual Growth Retreat at Epworth Forest. Closing devotions were given by Jane Long, who read “No one Believes Seniors”, “Rest” and “A Picture of Peace” and closed with prayer. Those attending were served Valentine refreshments by Pam Smith.

Knights fall to tenth-ranked Bluffton by Gary Andrews The Southwood boys basketball team traveled to tenthranked Bluffton Feb. 24 for their final regular season game. The Knights gave the Tigers a run, but fell to the hosts 61-47. The Knights, who had lost Dalton Gentry and Grant Keaffaber earlier in the season due to injuries were glad to see Keaffaber back in the lineup. However, the Knights also lost the services of Jackson Blair, who is out with an injury. With injuries hamper-

ing the Knights all year, they gathered the troops and even though they lost the game, gained some confidence heading to next week’s sectional. Bluffton would pound the ball inside to their superior height and led the Knights 15-8 after one quarter and 33-22 at the half. Battling against an inside line ranging from 6’5” to 6’11” the Knights kept themselves in striking distance. Bluffton came out with the same game plan in the third, as the height was just

John Proffit joins Dorais sales staff by Brent Swan Local resident and Southwood High School graduate, John Proffit, recently joined the sales staff at Dorais Chevrolet Buick GMC. After stopping by the dealership to possibly purchase a different vehicle, Proffit found himself applying for a position. “I was looking to buy a car and was really impressed with the salesman I had been talking with,” Proffit said. “It wasn’t a typical, high pressure used car salesman experience you often hear stereotyped. He was just a real nice, low key kind of guy. “I mentioned that I was in the market for a job at the time, and he happened to say they were hiring,” Proffit explained. “I went back home and polished up the resume and had a little mock interview with Dave (Dorais) and Mike, the sales manager when I came back.” After working out the details, Proffit

BIEHL BROTHERS AND SISTERS MEET TO CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS: Mr. and Mrs. Don Roser of Wabash had a Feb. 12 noon meal in their home for the Biehl brothers and sisters and their spouses for birthdays celebrated in December (2011), and January and February of this year. Since all Biehl brothers and sisters went to the Urbana School, Lois Jane (Biehl) Roser had a “Do You Remember” quiz about those days. Some of the questions asked were: Do you remember the 12 years spent riding the flat top school bus that Jesse Devers drove? You could not even stand up in it. Mom Biehl always called it the school “hac”; never a “bus.” Do you remember putting signs in the house window for how many pounds of ice were needed for the icebox? Do you remember the toys Eldon and Max Biehl had, rolling marbles, and wooden sewing spools on the floor? Do you remember the entire family helping Eldon and Max dress the turkeys they raised, many of which were bought by families in Urbana for their Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners? Other “Do you remember” memories were shared of how it was so cold in the upstairs of the house, everyone ran downstairs in the morning to be close to the hard coal stove and the wooden telephone mounted on the wall. Anna Lee Biehl was an Urbana telephone operator for awhile and was the one who said “number please” and rang for the party requested. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Arden Biehl of Wabash; Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Biehl of North Manchester; Mr. and

Mrs. Max Chamberlain and Mr. and Mrs. Max Biehl, all of Urbana. Lois Jane (Biehl) Roser gave each of the women a miniature potted rose. “We all lived our younger days in a great happy time. The school bus always went and there were no snow days.” Everyone had a good time looking back at great memories. (Submitted by Anna Lee Biehl) LADIES NITE OUT CLUB met for a brunch in the home of Peg Heflin for their February meeting assisted by Anna Lee Biehl and Helen Dawes. Helen gave devotions that centered on gratitude for the little things that we take for granted as we travel along life’s journey. After lunch, President Helen Dawes thanked Peg and opened the business meeting by reading the thought of the month “The next time you need a miracle, don’t wait for it to happen; you have the power to create it.” Club members pledged allegiance to the flag. Anna Lee Biehl gave the secretary’s report and Peg Heflin the treasurer’s report. Helen Dawes presented a lesson on changes that occur in our lives as we go along. “We need to focus on the Prayer of Serenity, accept the things we cannot change, learn to live with change, and don’t sweat the small stuff.” Carolyn Everest read a humorous poem, “Valentine Food for Thought.” Mary Jean Wendel recorded reading points. Esther Terrel reported that she recently visited with former club member, Judy Boggs. Birthday greetings went to Helen Haupert and Anne Driscoll and anniversary recognition went to Mary Jean Wendel. Cards were signed for Martha Jane Biehl and Virginia Bozarth. Carolyn Everest was Lucky Lady. Mary Jean Wendel will host the March meeting at the Main View Restaurant in North Manchester. The meeting was closed with the Club Collect. WILDCAT PRIDE WINNERS drawn on

Wabash resident expresses annoyance with loose animals Dear editor, I am writing this letter today due to the problem the city of Wabash has with loose animals. There are loose animals in all of our neighborhoods. They make a mess of people’s trash, they destroy your landscaping and then leave their droppings behind. I first started to notice this about one month ago. I walked out into my backyard to enjoy this wonderful weather we have been experiencing. I had smelled an odor that I have never smelled in my backyard before. I investigated the odor only to find out that the underside of my deck has been the litter box of neighborhood cats that have been left

loose. I cleaned up the mess that they had left. I have discussed the problem of loose animals with neighbors and they also understood that this is a problem. I have put live animal traps on my property to catch these cats. I will be delivering them to the Wabash County Animal Shelter. This should generate some additional revenue for the fines that they should be issuing. Anyone missing any cats in the surrounding areas of my home should contact the Wabash County Animal Shelter. I will be resetting these traps until I no longer have a cat problem. To end this letter I would also like to

leave note that when a dog is taken for a walk please clean up any messes that it leaves behind. Please don’t turn your head and act like you didn’t see your dog leave behind the mess that you didn’t want in your yard. I do not want the mess in my yard either. I clean up the messes that my dogs make, so others and myself would appreciate it if an animal leaves a

mess, the owner would have the decency to clean it up. If everyone in the community works together, we can keep the streets of Wabash clean. We have animals of our own and we also accept the responsibility that comes with that. Let us keep Wabash a great and clean place to live, Josh Hecox 288 Miami Street, Wabash

Thought we forgot, Enjoy your day! Love, Sissy, Mychelle & Family, LaVona & Family, Diana & Family, Bobbie & Aaron Cousins, Jenn, Zoee, Heather, Austin, Steven & Amy, Emily & Nathanial, Natalia & Zander, Kristina & Nick, Krissa

24 Annual State of the City and County address given on Feb. 23 www.thepaperofwabash.com

by Danielle Swan DSmith@thepaperofwabash.com

The annual State of the City and County address, organized by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, was given at the Honeywell Center on Feb. 23. Wabash County Commissioner Brian Haupert discussed the 2011 activities of Wabash County as a whole. He went over the recent renovation projects at the Courthouse, including the commissioners’ and county councilmen’s chambers. He announced that in 2012, the commissioners plan to renovate the treasurer’s office and replace sections of sidewalk surrounding the Courthouse. He reminded attendees that Wabash County is now debtfree, as the final payment on the bond for the Wabash County Judicial Center was paid at the conclusion of 2011.

“We can now enjoy more flexibility to invest those funds in other potential economic development projects,” Haupert said. He went on to discuss the benefits of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County. “EDG, under the leadership of Bill Konyha, promotes Wabash County to the world. The world, these days, is a very competitive place so it is absolutely imperative that we have an organization that can develop a dynamic strategy to retain and attract new businesses,” he said. Haupert then highlighted the recent cooperation between the City of Wabash, the county and the Town of North Manchester. He mentioned grants that were received as a result of this cooperation, including a $600,000 Brownfield Assessment Grant and a $500,000 grant

for the Grossnickle Drain Project. He also mentioned the North Manchester Covered Bridge Project. “The historical nature of the project has caused several delays during the review process by the State. We are hopeful that the bids for construction will be let this fall,” he said. Haupert then gave an update on each of the county departments. He shared that the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department has made progress in remedying their manpower issue, as they put three new deputies on the road in 2011. He discussed the County’s continued participation in the Alcohol and Drug Court and public defender programs. He announced that the County has recouped over $90,000 in Title IV-D federal reimbursements after enlisting the services of a consulting firm in 2011. Some of these funds were used to

fund a new computer server for the clerk’s office, both courts, probation and the prosecutor’s office. He informed attendees that the Wabash County Plan Commission is still working to develop a new County Comprehensive Plan, which will continue through mid-2012. Haupert then took a moment to thank our local Emergency Management Agency volunteers and volunteer firemen. According to Haupert, Wabash County Transit saw a 27 percent ridership increase in 2011. Due to fuel costs, the organization’s budget is stretched to the limit. The organization hopes to receive grants for the replacement of three minivans in 2012. In closing, Haupert said, “In the almost 20 years that I have been a commissioner, it has been my privilege to serve alongside some of the most dedicated people I could ever hope to serve with. When times get tough, we still seem to find a way to get things done without diminishing services to the public.” North Manchester Town Manager Dan Hannaford was next to take the podium. He began his presentation by explaining his duties as town manager of North Manchester. He then went over some of the recent changes and projects taking place in North Manchester. “When I came to North Manchester back in 2000, if you drove down State Road 114, right through town, you saw dilapidated factories and some very ugly looking properties and one of my goals I had was to try to clean that area up,” Hannaford said. He then showed before and after photos of several areas in which that goal was accomplished. Hannaford went on to go over the massive, $4 million project of the Strauss – Peabody Aquatic and Fitness Center, which now boasts approximately 1,300 members. “A lot of people said it didn’t work, but it did,” he said. Hannaford then discussed the Downtown Revitalization

MAYOR ROBERT VANLANDINGHAM spoke about the Riverwalk extension, the new business park, new Fire Department equipment, the Long Range Control Plan and many other topics at the annual State of the City and County address. (photo provided) Project, which has been 14 years in the making. This project will include new sidewalks, streetlights and decorative touches. Wabash City Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham was the final speaker of the address. His presentation began by discussing the new addition to the Riverwalk, a project that is 85 percent complete at this time. When completed, the 3.4-mile trail will be wide enough to drive a vehicle on. Wabash Parks Department planted the trees along the walk, and the Street Department made the signs, both of which saved money on the project. The mayor then discussed the new $350,000 vactor truck that the City of Wabash Wastewater Treatment Plant recently received. Previously, the city had to borrow this machine from a neighboring county when it was needed. Vanlandingham then went over the Glenn Avenue / Carroll Street Project, which is the first project in the Long Range Control Plan, a federally mandated, 20-year project to separate sanitary and storm water. The Long Range Control Plan is projected to cost $13 million, so Va n l a n d i n g h a m expects sewer rates to rise in order to cover that cost. He vowed that as long as he is in office, the rates will raise slowly. He went on to discuss the Hipskind Building, which the Board of Public Works and Safety recently declared as an emergency situation and determined that it needed to be demolished. He announced

that a company from Fort Wayne will be demolishing the building. “It’s really neat to know that when these kinds of situations come up, we have the resources to take care of them. We have the Rainy Day Fund and we’ll be able to manage from that Rainy Day Fund to take this building down and not be a burden on the taxpayers at this point,” he said. Vanlandingham highlighted the new signage system that was put in place by Wabash Marketplace, with support from the Convention and Visitors Bureau and the City of Wabash. He also announced that work on the sewage lines and sidewalks will commence soon in the area of Bryan Avenue. With the cooperation of Wabash City Hospital, a grant was received for this project. Va n l a n d i n g h a m then discussed the Main Street R e s i d e n t i a l Rehabilitation Center, which is in the beginning phases of creation at U.S. 24 and Alber Street. This $15 million project, which is expected to create 150 direct jobs and 44 indirect jobs, came to Wabash as a result of the Economic Development Group’s efforts. “They do a tremendous job, they really do,” Vanlandingham said. “They work hard, they are out there promoting this city, this county and basically this region.” The mayor then went over the happenings at the 260-acre business park north of U.S. 24 on SR 13. The first occupant of the park is Advanced Ag, and Indiana-American Water is working on

installing a new $3.5 million water tower to expand infrastructure to the park. He discussed the new $366,000 rescue truck and $142,000 ambulance that the Wabash City Fire Department recently purchased. Something unique about Wabash is that our fire department is also our ambulance service, so ambulance fees may be used to purchase new equipment such as this. “That’s a huge savings and there’s a lot of communities and a lot of mayors out there that would like to do the same thing,” Vanlandingham said. The Street Department is continuing their preventative practice of crack sealing. On schedule for crack sealing for the coming year are Linlawn Drive, Pine Knoll, and Stitt Street from Miami Street to Manchester Avenue. Finally, the mayor discussed the Wabash City Police Department, which recently installed cameras on some of its fleet. Vanlandingham conveyed Police Chief Charles Smith’s message that the department has received great cooperation with other local law enforcement agencies as well as the prosecutor’s office and judges. In other Police Department news, Va n l a n d i n g h a m announced the retirement of Officer Matt Shrider’s tracking and drug dog, Jordan, who has served for nine years. In closing, Mayor Vanlandingham said, “It’s an honor and a privilege to be on the same podium with these two gentlemen. It’s amazing what we get done when we work together and that happens a lot.”

‘the paper’ of Wabash County, Inc., P.O. Box 603, Wabash, IN 46992. Classified Ads: $9.00 for first 20 words in advance: 15¢ each word thereafter. Deadline 12:00 noon on Monday

Slee shares political concerns Dear editor, Who is confused? Myself, I get more angry than confused, seeing as how some of our “leaders” keep trying to confuse us. I can think of one remedy, which is to research, because by that, we can “know the truth, and the truth shall set us free”. That is one of my favorite quotes. Another favorite quote is in opposition to, yet synonymous with, what many of our elected? “leaders” are telling us: “Life, liberty and property do not exist because men have made laws on the contrary. It was the fact that life, liberty and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” (Frederic Bastiat - Common Sense Revisited). A lot of snake oil peddlers who wangled their positions (and incomes) have been claiming they want us to see the light, while they are putting blinders on our eyes. The Constitution is simply a putting down on paper what is actually an inherently natural and God given set of conditions that is meant to be. It did not create freedom and

liberty, it simply states what is meant to be protected and cherished. The Constitution has been demonized because every now and then, a few people seemingly get carried away. You can bet your gluteus we’ll always hear about that. At least they never do what Hitler’s “brown shirts” did, which, incidentally, Obama has endorsed by saying we need some brown shirts. Right now, in jeopardy are the following Constitutional Amendments: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, and probably 22. The 4th is probably the one which endangers America the most, and is being contested in Supreme Courts. If it goes, we lose privacy, liberty, property, bank accounts, choice, basically all forms of ability to independently survive and decide what course in life to take. They want the 1st so we can’t protest and keep each other informed; the 2nd so we can’t protect ourselves or each other; the 4th and 5th so they can take it all; the 6th so we can’t defend in court, and on and on.

If you asked Adolph Hitler and Barack Obama, or any former presidents, to explain what is wrong with America, or any other country having similar problems, guess what the difference in opinion would be. The most probable answer is none. Societies all have the same basic problems, and leaders all recognize those problems in the same manner. The difference is in the remedies. In the first few chapters of Mein Kampf, Hitler’s descriptions of Germany’s societal ills were amazingly similar to most anyone else’s synopsis of a society’s problems. Remedies are not contained in general promises made during speeches, nor in ads, on TV or elsewhere. Remedies are also not contradictory to established guidelines. Are you going to repair a Ford by using instructions for a Chevy? Not likely. Who to vote for this year I’m not sure of, but I sure know who not to vote for. We don’t need highly educated people in government leadership positions, we need patriotic, honest ones. Todd Slee

Considering a New Lower?

A new lower may NOT be the answer to your problems! Due to the bone loss which occurs once teeth are removed, it is often difficult to be satisfied with a lower denture. Through the use of DENTAL IMPLANTS and the security they offer, loose lower dentures will no longer be a problem. For a new confidence in life, call the office of Dr. Ray Hazen for an appointment today.
