Gun permits and sales go up in Wabash County by Ashley Flynn features@ thepaperofwabash.com The recent mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., sparked debate about gun violence and safety, causing many citizens to

fear losing their second amendment right. All across the nation, guns are flying off the shelves, and Wabash County is no different. “It’s been insane; we can’t keep up,” Tabitha Hadaway

WABASH COUNTY GUN STORES’ GUN RACKS have been a little sparse lately with the sudden increase in gun and ammunition sales ignited by the recent Connecticut mass shooting.

from Bass and Bucks told The Paper of Wabash County. The store has seen an increase in all guns and ammunition, but especially assault rifles and high capacity magazines, which are defined as anything capable of storing over 10 rounds. Other gun stores in Wabash have experienced the same thing. Big R sold out of assault riffles the day after the incident in Connecticut. “We can’t keeps mags (.223 and 5.56 magazines) in stock,” Big-R manager Amanda Slone told The Paper of Wabash County. Paul Pattee, owner of Just Hunt, another Wabash Gun store, said recent sales have been some of the best he has seen. “Until whatever laws they decide are ultimately passed or debated, these type of firearms are going to be impossible to keep in stock. It’s tough on gun stores to get new orders fulfilled.” Not only has there been an increase in gun sales, but gun permit sales have also gone up. According to Lieutenant Rogers from the Indiana State Firearms Department, there are currently 2,305 active gun permits in Wabash County, but the number is quickly rising. In December 2011 the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department filed 12 gun permit applications. In December 2012, they filed 67. The total for 2012 was 246, which means nearly one-third of the applications in 2012 were filed in just one month. Connie Rich from the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department said she began to notice an increase after the presidential

Tiede announces end to historic career After a 56-year career that helped shape the face of Wabash, Charles “Chuck” Tiede has finally retired from practice effective Dec. 31, 2012. He has been instrumental in establishing businesses and organizations that are now considered fixtures in our community. Tiede was born in Walkerton, Indiana, the third of four children, where he graduated from Walkerton Lincoln Township High School. “I grew up just short of a country boy,” Tiede said. “I always wanted to be a lawyer, but didn’t think I could afford it and my folks certainly couldn’t.” (continued on page 5)

CHARLES “CHUCK” TIEDE recently announced that he has retired from his long-standing law practice, effective Dec. 31, 2012. Join the community at a retirement reception in his honor on January 25, 3-5 p.m., at the offices of Tiede Metz & Downs, P.C., 99 W. Canal St., Wabash. (photo provided)

election in November, but said gun permit sales skyrocketed after the shooting in Connecticut. Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land says there’s been no increase in weapon violations, just in the number of permits being issued. While safety is a motivating factor in purchasing a gun permit, most people seem more concerned about losing their second amendment right. Julie Schnepp purchased a gun permit after the Connecticut shooting for both safety and fear of losing the right to carry. “The world is getting a little crazy,” Schnepp, a mother of two young girls, told The Paper of Wabash County. “I’ve always wanted one, and there is just so much stuff going on right now. I am worried about the Second Amendment. I’m worried they might take the right to carry away.” Hadaway and Slone agree that the fear of losing the right to carry seems to be a major motivating factor for people to purchase right now. “They want to get one before they can’t,” said Hadaway, who also believes the Second Amendment is at risk. “They think gun laws are going to stop it, but that’s the last thing it’s going to do,” she

said. Slone has a similar outlook. “They fear that it is going to go away,” she said. “Its good for business, but the reason behind it is sad. Big-R as a corporation is backing citizens and we will continue to sell firearms.” The Second Amendment has been called into question because some believe stronger gun laws would cut down on gun related crimes, but Sheriff Bob Land doesn’t believe Wabash is at risk for any major gun violence. The Indiana State Police Firearms Division conducts a background check on anyone applying for a handgun permit. The last time a permit was denied at the county level in Wabash was October 2011. According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms website, there are 17 valid Federal Firearms Licenses in Wabash county, which are licenses to deal firearms. The Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act of 1933 made it mandatory for all Federal Firearms Licensees to conduct background checks on individuals seeking to buy firearms, but there are ways around this. When purchasing a gun through an individual to individual transaction or a private collection at a gun show, no (continued on page 5)

Jared Johnson pleads guilty to 2002 arson by Brent Swan In Wabash Circuit Court Jan. 7, Wabash resident Jared Johnson formally pled guilty to two Class B Felonies in connection with a 2002 arson at 213 E. Hill St., Wabash. According to Detective Jim Kirk of the Wabash City Police Department, at 11:20 p.m. on Feb. 19, 2002, a call was received reporting a house fire on the corner of Hill and Allen Streets. Responding Wabash City Police Officers found occupants of the apartment were trapped on the roof. Five people had to be rescued from the roof of the burning home, while two additional occupants were later treated at hospitals for injuries sustained in the blaze.

In the plea agreement filed,

JARED JOHNSON Johnson agreed to plead guilty to two Class B Felony counts of arson.

It is especially important for those at higher risk of complications related to the flu to become

vaccinated. High risk individuals include pregnant women, young children, people with chronic illnesses and/or compromised immune systems and the elderly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommends that all health care workers become vaccinated each year to protect themselves and their patients. Some other tips to help protect against the spread of influenza include: Clean. Properly wash your hands fre-

quently with warm, soapy water. Cover. Cover your cough and sneeze with your arm or a disposable tissue. Contain. Stay home from school/work when you are sick to keep your germs from spreading.

Watch for potholes as temperatures rise INDOT maintains pavement when not plowing state roads Temperatures are forecasted to rise above freezing for northeast Indiana later this week, increasing the likelihood that potholes will form. When the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is not clearing snow, ice or storm debris, crews are focused on maintaining and preserving the state’s roads and bridges. Potholes begin when water seeps into the cracks in a road and freezes, expanding the layers of pavement, stone and soil beneath the surface. As the ice melts and contracts, heavy highway traffic further loosens the pavement, forming potholes. With temperatures too low for paving, most of Indiana’s hot mix asphalt plants are now closed. During the winter INDOT uses cold mix – a mixture of small stone and liquid asphalt – as a temporary patch. Even after being filled with cold patch, the same pothole requires ongoing maintenance and can reopen several times throughout the winter. When the asphalt plants reopen in the spring, INDOT maintenance crews clean out and then repair potholes with hot mix, providing a smoother, more permanent fix. To report a pothole on a numbered state route, interstate or US highway in northeast Indiana, contact the INDOT Fort Wayne District by calling 866227-3555 or emailing neinformation@indot. in.gov. Motorists can also use the online “Report a Concern” tool at http://dotmaps.indot.i n.gov/apps/districtmaps. For the past several years, INDOT has been expanding its P a v e m e n t Preservation Program to improve pavement friction and seal tiny cracks before potholes form. INDOT sealed

motorist inconvenience. INDOT urges motorists to slow down and stay alert when encountering pavement maintenance crews.

1,685 lane miles of state highways during the fiscal year ending June 2012, and plans to seal 1,820 lane miles during the current fiscal year. For every dollar invested, research estimates that pavement preservation saves taxpayers $6 to $14 in future maintenance and construction costs. Pavement preservation also uses fewer natural resources than reconstruction, and significantly reduces

Beacon Credit Union returns over $806,588 to its member-borrowers on New Year’s Eve To reward its member-owners for their loyalty and the solid operating results recognized in 2012, the Board of Directors of Beacon Credit Union returned over $806,588 of loan interest back to member-owners who utilize Beacon

Credit Union for their borrowing needs. The money returned to borrowers was in the form of a loan interest rebate. Those receiving the rebate were memberowners who: paid interest on a loan during 2012, whose loan

was not delinquent in its payments as of December 31, 2012; and whose loan remained active as of December 31, 2012. The qualifying 6,973 loan accounts held by member-owners received 4% of the total interest paid during the year. The rebated interest effectively reduced

the annual percentage rate paid to the credit union for loans by approximately 13 basis points. Each borrower whose loan qualified for the loan interest rebate received a deposit into their Savings Plus account on December 31, 2012. Over the past six years, Beacon Credit

Union has returned over $5.5 million of collected loan interest back to member-borrowers through loan interest rebates. Beacon Credit Union is a full service, locally owned, credit union that provides a wide range of products and services including savings

accounts; checking accounts; Certificates of Deposit; IRAs; Investment and Trust Opportunities; Consumer, Real Estate, Commercial and Agricultural Loans; plus all of today’s conveniences of mobile banking, internet banking, online bill pay, online

statements, Debit Cards, ATM’s and Telephone Teller access. The credit union operates 20 convenient service offices throughout north central and northeast Indiana to provide financial products and services to 45,000 members.

Sen. Banks releases College Affordability, accountability Plan State Sen. Jim Banks (R-Columbia City) announced he is authoring several bills aimed at improving affordability and accountability in higher education. Banks said the overarching goal of his plan is to make college a less expensive option for Hoosier students while ensuring there is more accountability for public investment in higher education. “College has simply become too costly for many Hoosier families,” Banks said. “Improving transparency in the higher education system will allow us to pinpoint where these costs are

increasing and hold administrators accountable for changes that negatively affect the students they serve. We can further cut unnecessary expenses by making simple changes to credit transfers between universities, saving students the time and money it takes to replace these classes.” Banks’ plans include provisions to: Give more independence to regional campuses from their parent schools. Reduce in-state tuition rates for U.S. military veterans returning from service. Improve trans-

parency in regard to faculty hiring, tenure and salaries among state institutions. Enhance credit transferability through a common course numbering system and requiring associate degrees credits to be counted

toward a bachelor’s degree. Hold university departments of education more accountable for teachers’ understanding of content and instructional methods. Create more dual college-credit course

options for high school students. The first four bills were assigned to the Senate Committee on Education and Career Development yesterday. The remaining bills will be filed later this week.

Slots still available for vendors and entertainment for Tri-Chamber Home and Business Expo Booths are still available for the 2013 Tri-Chamber Expo that will be held at the Honeywell Center in Wabash, Indiana, on February 23rd and 24th. This year’s theme will be “Hoosier Hysteria” since it will be close to the start of March Madness. New to this year’s Expo is the combination of three area Chamber offices: Miami County, North Manchester, and Wabash. The inclusion of other counties and Chamber offices provides greater exposure and an enhanced event for all. “We hope to have at least 3,000 visitors from the public at this year’s event. By combining three area Chambers this is an excellent opportunity for businesses to market themselves and promote their products and services to the

community as well as p r o s p e c t i v e clients/customers. Many different types of vendors will be offering and promoting a wide variety of products and services such as home improvement, vehicles, computer services, and more. There will be something for everyone and we encourage all area businesses to participate.” says Kimberly Pinkerton, President, Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. Also included in the Expo event calendar is the Vendor-toVendor event, which will give local businesses invaluable oneon-one opportunities to network with each other in a fun and relaxing environment. All exhibitors participating in the Expo are encouraged to attend. “If your business would like to support

their favorite no-profit organization, you may do so by sponsoring a booth for them and both organizations will be advertised,” say Jill Vigor, Expo Chair. This year’s Expo truly offers something for everyone. The Chamber will also host Entertainment throughout the event. If you or your group would like to perform or share an educational venue beneficial to attendees/businesses please contact any of the three Chamber offices to let them know of your interest: Miami County, 765-472-1923; North Manchester Chamber, 260-982-7644; or Wabash, 260-563-1168. Registration information is also available online at w w w. w ab a s h ch a m ber.org or through any of the three Chamber offices.

Tiede announces end to historic career... continued from front page

Following high school, Tiede attended what was then known as Ball State Teachers College where he earned teaching degrees in social studies and business. In 1951, he joined the workforce at Kingsbury Ordinance Plant, Westville, where he worked for a department of the army. Shortly thereafter, he was drafted. “When I was drafted, I had a letter from the colonel that ran Kingsbury telling them what a great guy I was and to keep me out of the Korean Pipeline,” he said. Tiede took basic training at Camp Breckinridge, Ky., infantry basic, and artillery basic before landing at the Adjutant General School at Fort Harrison, where he was trained in personnel management. He remained at Fort Harrison until 1953, when he left the service armed with the G.I. Bill, which financed his law degree and provided the means to enter the profession that would define his life. While attending law school at Indiana University, Tiede met his future wife, Julie Godo, who was then employed as the student business manager for Indiana Law Journal. They married directly after he finished law school in 1956. Upon his graduation, Tiede took a position on the legal team of the telephone company, Indiana Bell. He remained there for two years. “I liked Indiana Bell, but it wasn’t really being a lawyer. You did proceedings before the then Public Service Commission, which I thought was a little mechanical, so I

came to Wabash to get into general practice,” he said. Tiede’s Wabash career began alongside his law school class mate, Robert McCallen, in an office above what is today Modoc’s coffee shop. Three years into his career and only one year after arriving in Wabash County, Tiede worked with the trustees of Lagro, Liberty, Noble, Paw Paw and Waltz townships to help organize and consolidate their township schools into the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County in response to The S c h o o l Reorganization Act of 1959. Tiede would subsequently serve as the schools’ attorney for 50 years before resigning. His history of MSD, written at the 50-year anniversary of the district, details his involvement with the project. Around 1959, Tiede left his office with McCallen and moved to an office on Wabash Street, which he describes as “primitive.” “The office was heated by coal, so every winter morning

That same year, Tiede was approached by a Chicago woman who desired to start a new bank in Wabash and this commenced the organization of Frances Slocum Bank, now known as First Merchants Bank. “Though at the time I knew absolutely nothing about the legal requirements for obtaining a charter for a bank, I had the confidence and enthusiasm with which every young, ambitious lawyer approaches the prospect of earning an honest fee,” Tiede wrote in his history of Frances Slocum Bank. He set out to learn the process, and Frances Slocum Bank opened in a temporary trailer home at 189 W. Market St. on October 28, 1963. Tiede served on its board of directors for approximately 50 years. Tiede and Magley later joined Frank Plummer’s firm at 27 W. Canal Street. In 1986, Tiede, along with Don Metz and Stephen Downs, organized Tiede Metz & Downs, P.C. The trio acquired the historic KoWeBa Building at 99 W. Canal St., where the

firm remains today. In addition to his organization of MSD and Frances Slocum, Tiede’s career is fraught with other accomplishments too numerous to list. He served on the H o n e y w e l l Foundation board for 30 years, and as president when the Ford Theater was planned and funded. He recalls representing homeowners who found themselves in the path of the looming Salamonie Reservoir project. “I tried some cases in federal court of people who lived out there who refused to sign a deal with the Corps of Engineers,” he said. He also recalls a personal injury case in the early 1980’s involving a farm worker who was electrocuted and lost use of his arm and leg. According to Tiede, at that time Wabash County juries were notorious for rendering low verdicts, but he achieved a $400,000.00 verdict in favor of his client. “For several years, until Kristina Lynn exceeded my verdict, it was the largest jury verdict in Wabash County,” he recalls. Over his career, Tiede has been recognized for his achievements on numerous occasions. He is a recipient of the Sagamore of the Wabash from Governor Joe Kernan in 2004. He was named the 2006 Distinguished Citizen by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. In 2010,

Governor Mitch Daniels named him a Distinguished Hoosier. In 2011, he was the first recipient of the Distinguished Lawyer Award from Wabash County. Tiede and his wife have four daughters, Karen, Kathryn, Julianne, and Margo; 10 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. They are predeceased by a son, Frank. In his retirement, Tiede looks forward to spending more time with his wife, and he

plans to continue writing the autobiography he has begun. Reflecting on his career, Tiede says, “I appreciate all of the support I’ve had from clients. I’ve tried to treat my clients right. I’ve had good relationships and support from the people of Wabash.” The public is invited to wish Tiede well at a reception on January 25, 3-5 p.m., at the offices of Tiede Metz & Downs, P.C., 99 W. Canal St., Wabash.

Gun permits... continued from front page

background checks are required. In Indiana, it is legal to carry a gun without a permit if on property owned, rented, leased or legally controlled by that person. It is also legal to carry a gun without a permit in a vehicle as long as the gun is encased and the ammunition is stored separately. In recent years, Indiana gun laws have become more relaxed instead of tightened.

when you came in, your desk would be covered in black soot,” he recalls. “My wife worked as my secretary and we had my oldest daughter, Karen, at that time. We would take Karen there and she would be in the playpen and when we took her home in the evening, she would be covered in soot.” Around this time, Tiede helped complete the work of George Garber, who was the last attorney in Wabash to have been trained through apprenticeship as opposed to formal education. Garber had a healthy probate practice, which he turned over to Tiede upon his retirement. Tiede took Garber’s place as North Manchester town attorney and held the position for 46 years. By 1962, Tiede had moved to an office on the second floor at 55 W. Market St., the present location of Bucheri, McCarty & Metz, LLP, and what had formerly served as First Federal Savings & Loan. He was joined at that location by Bob Magley in 1963.

Indiana employees can now sue their employers for requiring them to disclose information on gun ownership or use. While President Obama is pushing for an assault weapon ban similar to the 1994 ban, all the Wabash County gun store owners said, “It’s just a game of wait and see” until politicians in decide what comes from this newest round of gun control,

Gray thanks Modoc’s for removing tobacco products Dear editor, Removing tobacco from a retail business to advocate a better health lifestyle to customers is a bold step. I applaud Modoc’s! I appreciate their willingness to put health for their customers over profit. By announcing that they are no longer going to carry tobacco products in order to reduce the exposure and promotion of tobacco, only reveals their desire to lead our community to make similar stands for better health. I was told they want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States. Tobacco kills thousands of Hoosiers every year, leaving behind heart-broken families and costing Indiana’s taxpayers millions of healthcare dollars. The nicotine in tobacco is more addictive than most illegal drugs. With 443,000 tobacco

(photo by Mike Rees) related deaths a year in our nation, tobacco kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, and all illegal drugs combined. Most people that start using tobacco are between the ages of 12 – 14. Our young people are visual learners. Visualizing tobacco products in

our retail businesses sends an involuntary message to our youth each time they are in a store that sells tobacco. The more it is seen, the more acceptable it appears; the risks no longer over power the desire to accept. Thank you Modoc’s for taking that away!

URBANA LIONS CLUB: Thanks to

success of the vision screening that had been done last year by the Lions Clubs at the county fairs. These screenings were offered to children of pre-school age to detect any early eye problems a child may have. The results of each child are sent to I.U. and if a child needs a follow up with an eye Dr. the parent is notified. Ann also gave information that all Lions Clubs of the state could buy a brick with their name on it for the Lions building in Indianapolis. The donations, which are $100 per brick, are donated for Lion’s needs. The state Lions Club convention will be held in Fort Wayne this summer. The state Lions Club president is from Fort Wayne and the theme

will be, In a World of Service. The District Governor had checked on the background history of the Roann Lions Club and found we have been a club since 1995. She encouraged us to invite people to our meetings and try to get people interested in the Lions Club and all they do for our community. We need to get the younger generation involved and in the caring needs of people in our area. Others who attended the dinner were: Vonell Krom, Danny Shoemaker, President Keith Ford, Don Everest, Russel and Marie Krom, Gary and Patsy Favorite, and Roger and Donna Harman. The Roann Lions Club meets the first Thursday of each month.

rest of Jay’s life (or until she no longer works at the hospital). “Our meeting with her was very positive.

Dear editor, As I reflected on this past year, I was reminded of special recognition I had planned to give, but had not yet done. During the second week of June 2012, we were experiencing major drought. Being a farmer and living in a farming community this was a serious situation. Since I am a prayer captain for Thursdays at the Hesychia House 24-7 prayer ministry, I decided to call upon

several of the local farmers to come for a 24 hours prayer vigil on Thursday, June. 21. Farmers from all over the county responded in favorable fashion. Most of these farmers in Wabash County had crops to harvest when September and October rolled around. We know of farmers in various parts of the state who ended up mowing the crop because there was nothing to harvest. I believe

that it was because of the faith and commitment of our farming community that god answered prayers on June 21, with and without rain. One young farmer recalled a year when he was ‘still a kid’, how God watered crops with dew to provide what was needed. This young farmer expressed his confidence that if God could do it then, He could do it again. And God did. In times when we

are in desperate need of super-natural help, Hesychia House 24-7 prayer house is a special place to escape from the demands that scream at us and allows us to focus thoughts and prayers to God. Our goal at Hesychia House is that there will be many days filled with people willing to commit to praying so that our community might be covered in prayer. For more information, you can call

Debbie Sweet at 5636049, Shirley Neale at 260-574-3111 or

Jennifer Mahan at 571-8063. Giving praise to

God for answered prayers. Debbie Sweet

TRUTHSEEKERS FILM: “Great Black Patriots & the Civil Rights Movement” with David Barton will be featured in the Blocher Community Room at the North Manchester Public Library on Monday, Jan. 21 from 7:00 – 8:30pm. Unknown to most today, black and white soldiers often fought side-by-side in the fierce battles of the Revolutionary War that birthed our nation, and many black leaders played pivotal roles in our government in the 1700s and throughout the 1800s. Why do our classrooms neglect so many of our nation’s great black leaders, including military heroes like Peter Salem, influential pastors like Lemuel Haynes and Richard Allen, Revolutionary spy

James Armistead, or U. S. Congressman Joseph Hayne Rainey? Learn about these remarkable leaders and their great spiritual faith and discover little known facts about the early civil rights movement. Uncover the truth of our nation’s black heroes and patriots in the American Heritage Series. TruthSeekers examines current events from a Biblical worldview and is an outreach of Victory Bookstore.

By J.D. Sparks DENVER—Ryan Keaffaber and Collin Dawes, the Norse senior boys basketball players, combined for 42 points during a 62-37 rout at North Miami Friday evening. Keaffaber scored 23 on 9-of-14 shooting with seven rebounds, two assists and three steals. Dawes, who played sick, chipped in 19 points, four boards, six assists and three steals. The two led Northfield (7-5) to its second Three Rivers Conference win in three league games. “Dawes, he played under the weather, believe it or not,” Norse Head Coach Moe Smedley said. “I told him he should play under the weather more often. And I thought Ryan Keaffaber played really well tonight, too. “We’re coming off two losses in two games and the two seniors stood up tonight when we needed it.” Keaffaber scored nine of his game-high point total in the third quarter. After an Ethan Beech free throw put the War-

riors within six at 30-24 just under a minute after halftime, Keaffaber sank back-to-back buckets to put the Norse up 10. North Miami replied with a pair of baskets, but a Keaffaber triple with 3:41 on the clock gave the Norse a 39-28 lead. His 3pointer helped spark a 12-2 run. Dawes capped the run with a pair of 3-pointers, giving the Norse a comfortable 49-30 lead with 11 seconds left in the quarter. North Miami’s Keith Rouch sank a buzzer-beating 3-pointer, but the Norse entered the fourth up 49-43. After turning the ball over six times in the first half, the Warriors committed seven miscues in the third. The Norse lead sat at 30-23 at halftime, but the turnovers turned into Northfield goals. “Coach Smedley made an adjustment at halftime, going to a three-quarter/half-court trap, and I thought we handled it pretty well for 4-5 possessions of the second half,” the Warriors’ Head Coach Clay Bolser said. “They pulled it off for a while and the put it back on and we panicked. Any time you have 19 turnovers and 13 in the second

half, that just isn’t good.” While it was Keaffaber and Dawes who helped Northfield build a large third-quarter lead, freshman point guard Noah Shears stepped up in the first quarter. He drilled two triples, helping the Norse go into the second quarter up 18-7. He also had two each of assists, steals and rebounds. “In that first half, Noah didn’t look like a freshman,” Smedley said. “I’m real proud of how he played. In the second half, he looked like a freshman with a couple of turnovers I told the boys that no matter what you grade you’re in, you’re on the varsity for a reason. “He’s here to help Dawes with the point. We need him.” North Miami cut into the lead throughout the second quarter. An old-fashioned triple from 5foot-7 Jacob Stiver made the score 27-18 with 3:24 until halftime. Alex Borse followed with a trey at the 2:01 mark, putting the Norse lead down to seven, 28-21. Dawes and Austin Barker traded buckets during the last 1:30. Northfield forced the Warriors into six fourth-quarter (continued on page 19)

Apache girls top Manchester Wabash: 51 Manchester: 38

By J.D. Sparks Wabash’s defense clamped down on Manchester Saturday in Coolman Gymnasium as the Apache girls basketball team thwarted the visiting Squires, 51-38. Wabash held Manchester to 29 percent (12-of-41) shooting from the floor, including just one field goal in the first quarter. The Apaches also kept Manchester’s leading scorer, Kayla Flack, to five points through the first three quarters. She ended the game with 10 on 3-of-12 shooting and 3-of-4 from the foul line. “I thought Lyndsie Thomas did a great job on Kayla Flack all night long,” Apache Head Coach Scott Bumgardner said.

“She got a couple of buckets late, but we made it pretty tough on her. Lyndsie did a great job turning her into a passer and a dribbler and we had some help there.” Thomas, junior, also scored 13 points with a pair of rebounds and a steal. She scored six of her points in the third when Wabash outscored Manchester 14-6. Claire Cromer, the Apache sophomore point guard, led the team on offense, however, with 19 points, one point from her career best of 20. She also collected four rebounds with seven assists and a steal. Cromer scored 13 in the first half, helping Wabash to a 28-18 lead at the break. “Our focus on the defensive end really picked up in the second half and I thought, on offense, we were getting some good looks all night long,” Bumgardner said.

“We went through a spell where our shots didn’t fall, but we had some good looks. We shared the ball well and moved the ball well.” Wabash junior Kylie Hampton filled up the stat sheet with nine points, five rebounds, three assists and three blocks. Wabash began the contest on a 7-0 run, which included a Cromer triple. The two teams played about even, with the Squires coming within five points at 23-18 with about a minute left until halftime. Another Cromer trey again gave Wabash some breathing room as the Apaches went into halftime up 28-18. “I really thought, other than the very first part of the first quarter and the very last part of the last quarter, we played really well,” Scott Underwood, the Head Coach of the Squires.

“Cromer had a wail of a first half. Wabash played really well and they always do here at home. I thought we had a lot of positives, too. I like how aggressive we were and that we were at the line more than them. “Tonight, we only put Wabash there 15 times and we had 18 attempts. We also had seven different girls score. Autumn Brewer is really coming along, too.” Wabash went on to outscore Manchester 23-20 through the

second half. Autumn Brewer paced the Squires with 12 points and eight rebounds. Flack added 10 points, eight boards, six assists, five steals and a block. Kalene Freshour added five points, three rebounds and two steals. Wabash improved to 10-6 on the season and 4-1 in the Three Rivers Conference. Manchester sits at 5-10, 2-3 TRC.

Norse axe Warriors... continued from page 18 turnovers and hit 7-of-10 free throws to seal the victory. “I’m proud of the intensity we came out with. That was our sev-

enth-straight road game and we haven’t been playing all that well,” Smedley said. “That was a good win.”

21 Two Conservation Local Boy Scouts raise money for Sandy Hook victims Officers receive promotions www.thepaperofwabash.com

January 16, 2013

Col. Scotty Wilson, head of the DNR Division of Law Enforcement, has announced the recent promotion of Indiana Conservation Officers Gary Whitaker and Erick Bolt to the ranks of captain and lieutenant, respectively. “Capt. Whitaker and Lt. Bolt bring many years of experience to their new positions,” Wilson said. “Both have my utmost confidence to carry out our mission to the public we serve.” Whitaker will supervise the division’s north region operations, which include five districts covering 44 counties. Whitaker replaces Ed Troche, who retired in December after 37 years with DNR Law Enforcement, including the last 10 as North Region O p e r a t i o n s Commander. “Capt. Whitaker brings over 20 years of experience as an Officer, an Investigator, and a District Commander to his new position,” Wilson said. “He is well versed on the demographics and responsibilities of the region he will oversee.” W h i t a k e r became an Indiana Conservation Officer in 1992, when he was assigned to Allen County. He later served in LaGrange County before being assigned to the d i v i s i o n ’ s I nve s t i g at i o n s Section as a detective in 2005. Whitaker was promoted in 2010 to lieutenant, overseeing District 2, a nine-county area of northeast Indiana that includes Adams, Allen, D e K a l b , Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wells and Whitley counties. Bolt’s promotion to Lieutenant fills the vacancy left by Whitaker’s move.

An Indiana Conservation Officer since 1995, Bolt most recently was a Corporal in District 2 after spending 14 years as a field officer in Whitley County. In 2012, he received the division’s James D. Pitzer Award as Indiana Conservation Officer of the Year. “Lt. Bolt has served the citizens of Indiana most admirably for over 17 years,” Wilson said. “The Officers he now oversees are the same ones who gave him their vote as Indiana’s top Conservation Officer. He already has earned their respect and their confidence in his abilities.” DNR’s Law Enforcement Division employs 214 Conservation Officers who serve the public and protect the natural resources of the state. The division has its headquarters in Indianapolis and operates 10 law enforcement districts throughout the state. The Law Enforcement Division is Indiana’s oldest state law enforcement agency, and one of the most diverse.

Local Boy Scouts were at Big R on Saturday, Dec. 29th taking donations. The group raised $344, which will be donated to those affected by the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. “A big thank you to

all who gave what you could, every little bit helps,” Katie Pratt said of the fundraising effort. “We would like to continue to raise money for these families so we have also set up a fund in honor of Pack 170 at Crossroads Bank

where you can make monetary donations as well. The fund is under the account name Cub Scout Pack 3905.” For more information, contact Katie Pratt at 574-376-0716 or e m a i l at kjpratt1976@yahoo. com. The Connecticut Yankee Council, based in Milford, C o n n e c t i c u t , announced on their website that Chase Kowalski and Benjamin Wheeler, two victims of the school shooting, were “would-be Eagle Scouts” and members of Pack 170, chartered to the Newtown United Methodist Church. According to the council’s website, the pack mainly serves boys from

Their service and outreach are a great asset to the community and an important addition to our schedule at the Youth Center,” said Liz Hicks, Executive Director of the Access. The group meets every 4th Tuesday of every month, 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m. The Jan. 22 meeting has planned a special guest speaker, Pat Lynn with the Special Olympics of Wabash County. The Feb. 26 meeting will also host a special guest speaker, Linda Johnson with the Arc of Wabash. She will be talking about Wavier Updates and Changes. Autism is a spectrum disorder, mean-

ing that although it is defined by a certain set of behaviors, children and adults with autism can exhibit any combination of these behaviors in any degree of severity. Therefore two children with the same diagnosis may differ greatly in their behavior, their capabilities, and their needs. While there is no single cause or cure for autism, it is treatable. Children do not outgrow autism, but studies show that early diagnosis and intervention lead to significantly improved outcomes. Every person diagnosed with an ASD is different, and every family has different needs. The challenge is that while 10 children can be diagnosed with autism, the autism can manifest itself in many different forms. For example, some children may be higher functioning at a cognitive level, but may have very poor social

skills. Some children might have strong verbal skills while others have no verbal skills whatsoever. Additionally, some people may have multiple diagnoses that include: ADHD, OCD, ADD, Bi-Polar Disorder, Downs Syndrome, or any combination of these. Because of these gross differences, it is virtually impossible for two people on the spectrum to take the same path to wellness. This support group welcomes the public. All parents are wel-

come, regardless of where your child falls on the spectrum. Along with parents, other interested adults are welcome including but not limited to, grandparents, educators, adults on the spectrum and their spouses.

Life Map Class beginning Jan. 10 Life Map is a fun way to tell your story – either beginning when you entered the world or highlighting adventures, hobbies, family, and other things that reflect who you are. Think of it as a mix of scrapbooking and making a collage. Life Map tells your story - who you are and the experiences you’ve had along the way. The finished product is suitable for framing and sharing with others. This is also a great project to work on with a family member or friend. According to instructor Jeannie Cooper, the process of creating the map and sharing their stories with

one another is as meaningful as the finished product. The class begins Jan. 10 and will meet on Thursdays from 3:15 p.m. – 5 p.m. for four weeks. Jeannie has led two other sessions and has made arrangements for a display of all completed Life Maps at the Wabash County Historical Museum later in the spring. There is no cost to participate and no “artistic” experience is necessary. This will be the last class led by Jeannie, so sign up now at the front desk or by calling the Senior Center at 260563-4475. The class will be held at the Senior Center.

READER ADVISORY: The national trade association we belong to has purchased the below classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer “employment” but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstances should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
