Wabash landmark ends 68-year legacy McKee Hike

by Adam Smith Anyone who has driven up and down State Road 15 has surely noticed a small, white store on the edge of the Honeywell Golf Course with a sign that reads, “Chippewa Bait: Mom & Dad’s Legacy 1946”. That legacy drew to a close as demolition of the store began in the early morning, Saturday, June 7. Emotions were high, especially for owner Sharon Lewis, as her family helped her clear out

the building where her family has opened up shop almost every day for 76 years. She summed it up as “the end of an era”. Lewis recalls that she was two years old when her parents, Harold and Ruby Roser, bought the Chippewa Gas Station in 1946 and changed the name to the Chippewa Gulf Service. Eventually this landmark would become, simply, “Chippewa Bait”. On top of the original

gas station and convenience store, the Rosers added in a restaurant and bait shop, run by Ruby and Harold, respectively. Sandi Kastner, Lewis’ sister, likens their parents’ business to a modern day mini-mart. She remembers the time before the Wabash Country Club served food when they would call Ruby and ask her to fix up some hamburgers for them to serve. (continued on page 4)

AFTER BEING OPEN FOR 68 YEARS, Chippewa Bait is being torn down. The only piece being kept intact is a window that used to overlook the owner’s garden. The window will be repurposed in his grandson’s home. (photo by Adam Smith)

Habitat for Humanity holds open house at new location by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County Habitat for Humanity celebrated the opening of its new office space with an open house May 30. Previously, the organization worked out of an open office at Friends Church, and before that, there was no office in Wabash County. This represents the second major step in the local affiliate’s transition from a volunteer-only model to a full-time, staffed model, the first step of which was the hiring of Executive Director Steve Miller last year. “It’s been a really smooth transition,” (continued on page 8)

Benefit to be held June 21 by Emily Armentrout On Nov. 6, 2013, Carson Ryne McKee was born to Jarrod and Heather, McKee, Wabash. At his one-week check up, Carson was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Always looking for new ways to stay fit and wanting to help a deserving family, family friend, Allison Eads-Dawes, Catalyst Fitness, decided to head up a benefit to assist Carson and his family. Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. An estimated 30,000 children and adults in the United States have CF. “Carson has the most common form of the mutation know as the Delta F508. A defective gene that produces thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and can cause life threatening infections,” Jarrod, Carson’s father, told The Paper. Carson is now seven months old, and he takes enzymes to help aid his pancreas. Carson currently takes over 20 pills a day. This number will increase as Carson grows older. Carson is also treated in the morning and the evening with a treatment called “pats,” where they pat him in eight different locations on the lung area to break up any mucus that could be building up in his lungs. “You would never and will never be able to tell he has Cystic Fibrosis as it’s known as the ‘invisible disease,” Jarrod told The Paper. “He can still play sports and excel in the classroom in the future,” added Jarrod. Starting out, the McKees were making monthly trips to Riley Hospital for Children, Indianapolis. They currently make bi-monthly visits, but the trips will eventually become every three months until they find a cure. They feel fortunate to work with Dr. Howenstine, who is a leader in the CF world and originally from Huntington. Another step the McKees have taken to find a cure for Carson is enrolling him in research studies. “As parents, we have a responsibility to other parents and patients to continue to fight for a cure,” Jarrod said of their decision to start Carson in the studies. “In the 1950s, life expectancy was that they wouldn’t live to go to grade school. Today, life expectancy is (continued on page 4)

Stirring it up with Angie Baer Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake

ANGIE BAER A couple of nice rain showers plus a few warm sunny days equals a bumper crop of strawberries. We have had perfect weather for raising strawberries and our garden is bursting with these red gems. This recipe for chocolate strawberry shortcake will require you to think outside of the box just a bit. Moist chocolate cake topped with fresh from the garden strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream will leave you wanting a second helping. You may never bake a traditional shortcake again.

Correction:

In last week’s edition, The Paper ran an article about the two gentlemen retiring from Hipsher Tool & Die. Mr. Steve Leach, not Lynch, has been at Hipsher Tool & Die for 45 years and Mr. Greg Featherstone, who has been with the company for the last four years is not starting his retirement until August. The Paper apologizes for these errors.

The lives of these two sisters have been inseparable from Chippewa Bait for as long as they can remember. Shortly after their parents purchased the business, the family moved into a mobile home behind the store until 1958 when Harold bought the home next door to their little shop. However, the sisters say they spent more time around the store than in either home. Kastner remembers sleeping under the counter on the shelves. Their mother used to keep the restaurant open until midnight to serve chili to the truck drivers that would come by and the girls would wait for everyone to be fed before crossing the yard to their home to sleep the rest of the night. When they outgrew the shelves they moved onto cots in the backroom. Besides sleeping in the store, their first jobs were also at Chippewa Bait helping their father, an avid fisherman, with the bait portion of the store. “When we first learned to count to 100,” Lewis said, “Dad

put us to work counting red worms.” On nights after it had rained, some of the family would walk across the greens of the Honeywell Golf Course to gather up night crawlers that could also be sold as bait. The effect that this store had wasn’t lost upon the younger generation, as it has remained a family affair. Rodney Crist, Lewis’ son, had similar experiences to his mother’s when they would visit the store. He said that “when we came to visit Grandma and Grandpa, we were put to work.” He believes that the hard work and dedication put into the store’s tradition by his grandparents and his mother has translated into his personal philosophy today as the owner of his own business. All of his memories of Grandma and Grandpa Roser took place inside Chippewa Bait because in all reality, it wasn’t just a business, it was a way of life. The patrons who would make their way into Chippewa Bait from Anderson to Indianapolis and beyond throughout the 68 years of its

existence would often find themselves coming back again and again. The hospitality shown by its owners surrounded every aspect of the store and proved to be irresistible. Strangers found themselves becoming an extension of the Roser family through good food and even better conversation on subjects from this year’s crops to the presidential election to Ruby’s homemade pie. These regulars would become such fixtures in the store that they would start lighthearted squabbles whenever someone was sitting in the “wrong” seat. A group of these regulars, some of who have been visiting since the opening in 1948, met at the landmark for the last time on June 3. The Rosers ran the store until Harold’s passing in January 2005. On Memorial Day of the same year, Lewis and her late husband, Robert, reopened the beloved gathering place at the request of many old customers who stopped in. Tragedy struck when Robert passed away after a battle with cancer and Lewis was forced to, once again, close the store after a short

three and a half years. She thinks of that time as having been one of many blessings in her life. After his passing, their neighbor, Bill Evans, got permission to open up the store again to serve coffee. The “family” that had grown out of their regular customers took it upon themselves to help out and ensure that Chippewa Bait would remain a place where all could enjoy a cup of coffee and good conversation. The sole piece to be preserved from the building is one of the original windows. Although it may not look like much, this window is rich with emotional value. Lewis shared that it provided her father, who loved bird watching, with a view of his garden where he had a bird feeder posted. She says that the garden was always filled with flowers that he was very passionate about. The window will be refurbished and moved to the home of Lewis’ son, Scott Crist. “It’s time to close this chapter in the family history and to open a new one,” Scott says, “We’re sad to see it go, but we all know it’s time.”

McKee Hike Benefit to be held June 21... continued from front page 37. Although a great increase, it’s still not okay with us. Through these trials, they continue to make breakthroughs in Cystic Fibrosis. I firmly believe we will find a cure/treatment in Carson’s lifetime. We won’t stop fighting until they do,” added Jarrod. The McKees have become very passionate about CF since Carson’s diagnosis. This passion also sparks optimism as they learn more about the disease. They have also created a group called “Carson’s Fighters,” which directly benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The group has already raised $15,000 with the help of friends and family. “The one thing we were amazed by was the community support. Both Heather and I were raised in Wabash County and we have had so many

great individuals, Southwood and Wabash FCA groups (our alma maters), and businesses rallying around our family to help in any way,” said Jarrod. “Allie Eads approached us to host this event and we were very much humbled,” added Jarrod. The McKee Hike Benefit will take place on June 21 at the Salamonie Reservoir, 9214 Lost Bridge Road

West, Andrews. Registration begins at 9 a.m. with the walk beginning at 10:30 a.m. The entry fee is $20 or $25 if you want to a shirt for the event. Extra donations are accepted and you can also purchase just a shirt if you cannot participate in the event. If you have questions, contact Allison Eads-Dawes at alli8eads@gmail.com.

Dear editor, I am a resident of rural Wabash County, Walz Township, and have been a subscriber to the Wabash Plain Dealer for 30 years. Even though our mailing address is Amboy, except when we had a new carrier, they did not have any difficulty delivering the paper. We have talked with several subscribers who have cancelled delivery because of failure to receive the paper of because of inconsistent delivery of the paper. This spring when we returned to Indiana, we called the Plain Dealer and asked them to begin delivery. We had credit from our fall

check. The carrier delivered the paper ONE time. We constantly called the office and made two visits to the office with no success in getting our paper. At no time did any of the personnel express concern that we were not receiving the paper. A couple of days ago, we called the office in St. Joe, Mo., and were told they would send an email to Wabash. The next day, we had a call from the Plain Dealer stating that they had determined we were not in the delivery area! I am very disappointed in the Wabash Plain Dealer. Phil Rebholz

Habitat for Humanity holds open house at new location... continued from front page Come see what we have to offer at...

Miller said during the open house.” Other than a few leaky pipes, the house was in good condition and structurally sound. After receiving some donations in the form of furniture, they did some decorating and made it their own. “We actually moved in three weeks ago. That’s why its good to have volunteers, because otherwise it

would not look like this. We’ve been really blessed in a lot of ways.” The organization’s new office is a repurposed house located at 375 N Manchester Ave., on the corner of State Street. Two volunteers who helped with the project are interior designers, who Miller said made a huge difference. Terry Echard of Lafayette donated the house to the organization. “We finalized the donation in November, and we talked about, could we rehab it and turn it into an affordable house for a homeowner, and that didn’t quite work,” said Miller. “And then we talked about, well, we could sell it, and we didn’t like that idea, so could we put our office there, and we talked about it and the key thing was making sure we could utilize the property properly.” An educational con-

ference room occupies the lower level’s main room. This will be used primarily as a space for homeowner and financial literacy education, as well as the organization’s board meetings. Past that, you can find Miller’s office and a smaller seating area. In the back, you can find a bathroom and a kitchen, which Steve and the volunteers made use of to prepare a few snacks for the open house guests. In addition, the house has a second story, and the detached garage has an apartment above it. Miller hopes to use the house’s upstairs to house an AmeriCorps volunteer in the future. The apartment above the garage was recently designated as a space for Growing Grounds to house women in need. “Once we got that finalized, that’s when we kind of pulled the trigger and turned the utilities on,” said Miller. “We’ve got room to grow and add staff.” Habitat for Humanity is always looking for volunteers to help with upcoming projects. They have two pieces of property in Wabash on which they are looking to build and find homeowners for. Recent changes in mortgage and credit regulations have changed the organization’s homeowner application process substantially, making it more difficult, but may assure long-term affordability. The local affiliate has seen sub-

stantial growth in recent years, which is both exciting and challenging. “The most difficult and challenging stage of growth for a habitat affiliate is the one this affiliate is making right now,” said Miller. “Going from all volunteer to hiring staff, and getting all that stuff in place, and really getting intentional. The board is starting to look strategically at how we’re going to grow, where we’re going to be an asset to the community, and how we’re going to impact, because we’re on the end of the housing continuum, so how are we going to help this community all the way down to the homeless on the street?” Still, the most important things in making the organization function are the volunteers and supporters. “A big part of it is the volunteers, and that’s another thing we’re trying to grow is our volunteer connection,” said Miller. Anyone 16 and older can volunteer at a Habitat for Humanity build site. One thing Miller is currently working on is reaching younger students who are interested in the cause but not yet able to help build houses. One of the way’s he’s getting kids involved this summer is through a “Nickels for Nails” fundraiser. Miller says that the average nail used to build a house costs about five cents. “This is a way that

even little kids, like at vacation bible school, can help out,” said Miller. “They’re going to have a nickel drive.” Another way the organization is reaching out for support is through their most recent piece of equipment, a playhouse that will be used as a parade float. It was built by the campus chapter before school let out this year. “[We’re] trying to get the word out, because a lot of people still don’t know we have a Habitat here in Wabash,” said Miller. “Even some that do don’t realize what it is we really do and how we work. We thought, ‘Well, we can’t be at every festival, but we can be in every parade, so we built this little playhouse and it’s going to be in all the county parades.” Habitat is selling parade float sponsorships to those who would like their company’s name displayed. At the end of the parade season, the playhouse will find a new home, but for now, it sits in front of the new office, making the corner quite recognizable. As Miller and the board settle into their new location, they are looking forward to their next building project. For more information on the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate, or to inquire about volunteering and/or donations, call Executive Director Steve Miller at 260-5639188.

Nov. 2, 1939 – June 6, 2014

Minnie Lee (Piatt) Maxwell, 74, Peru, entered into Heaven on June 6, at approximately 9:05 p.m., at her daughter’s home. She was born to Charlie Wilbur and Wilma Blanch (Stewart) Piatt on Nov. 2, 1939. She was married to James L. Maxwell for 17 years. During their years of marriage, they had six children: one son, Jerry G. Maxwell and wife Beckie, Roann,; five daughters, Teresa D. Gressley and husband Larry, Wabash; Sharon Y. (Betsy) Maxwell, Peru; Lisa C. Sturgill and husband James (Bo), Wabash; Toni L. Maxwell, Peru; and Leah K. Case and husband Joseph, Peru. She is also survived by four grandchildren: Michael A. Hawkins (Julia), Peru; Jeremy D. Gressley (Michelle), Wabash; Christopher L. Hawkins, Wabash; and Nathan L. Wyant, Peru; four great-grandchildren: Jaedyn M. Brisyn C., Kamdyn R. and Karsyn A. Hawkins, all of Peru. Also surviving her are: one sister, Martha E. (Marty) Bowerman, Piqua, Ohio; one brother, Calvin J. Piatt, Peru; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, one grandchild, two brothers, one sister: Shirley Gayle Piatt; a very special brother-in-law: Dale F. Bowerman; and a very close friend: James L. Corder. She was very dedicated to her church, the Pilgrim Holiness Church, Kokomo, of which she had been a member of for many years. She loved God and hardly ever missed a day of reading her Bible and praying until she became so ill. Her job as an in-home-caretaker in and around the Peru area for many years showed her love and compassion for so many people and their families. Reading was a passion of hers that she handed down to her children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. She also loved to garden and grow her beautiful flowers. To the wonderful mom, grandma, great-grandma, sister and friend that she was, she will be missed more than she could have ever known. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, June 12 at Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home, 105 W 3rd St., Peru, with Pastor Bryan W. Line officiating. Visitation will be from 3-7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 11, at Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Mount Hope Cemetery, 411 N Grant St., Peru. Memorial contributions can be made to the American Diabetes Association or to the St. Vincent De Paul Store through the funeral home. Arrangements entrusted to Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home.

Sears says “not your call for our family” Dear editor, I am writing in regards to the last MSD school board meeting. Now more then ever I understand how important it is to find out whom to vote in to office at any level and finding out as much as you can about the candidate. During the time for public comment I was told that I was not allowed to discuss the books or anything regarding the books, although the vote had not been taken yet. Mr. G (Gouveia) was able to have the last comments before the meeting adjourned and this is in response to him specifically. He said that parents were showing disrespect to teachers on social media. Mr. G I personally do not take part in social media and to leave that

impression while in the company of teachers was unfair. I respect the position of the teachers and it was only the book choice’s we were speaking out on. With the exception of book material over the past two years we have had nothing notable to even contact a teacher over. I believe as the bible says to go directly to that person when you have a disagreement and have tried to do that on occasions in my personal life. We have found as a family that many times the talk continues outside of our initial conversations and gets greatly distorted. Leaving people hurt from those that add their own versions. Saying that I would like to correct any thinking in the room that we were disrespecting teachers out-

side of the meetings. It simply was not true of all of us. Teachers do deserve the same respect and I try to teach my kids to respect that position even if we disagree on things. Had I looked at your open social media page at the remarks made about the president or the First Lady I may have voted differently. Is this not an office we should be teaching our children to respect as well regardless of our personal and political views? I also want to say that my bible says nowhere that we must have a learned person teach us to understand the bible as you stated at the meeting, but John 14:26 clearly states whom helps us with our understanding.

Lastly I have had numerous people unaware of the book list, where to find it or any other options in the reading curriculum such as the bible. So I would like to add a link to one that can be read online that has been approved by the board. Our daughters will be opting out of this or any books that have this graphic of material. Why, because it dishonors Christ and we feel it is adult material. Mr. G this is not your call to say that anyone can teach this type of material to our daughters with respect to your board position, it simply is not your call for our family. www.onreadz.net/f breader/1414795/ Teresa Sears

School districts to share Chief Academic Officer

by Emily Armentrout Recently, Wabash City Schools and the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County announced their hire of Melissa Brisco, who will be the Chief Academic Officer for both districts. Brisco fills the position of Lavonne Sparling at MSD of Wabash County and of Jan Roland at Wabash City Schools, both of which retired at the end of the 201314 school year.

She later moved back to Noblesville High School to be the Director of Learning, working with Title I and Title III. Title I is a federally funded grant for schools that have a large population of free and reduced lunch to help close the equity gap. Title III is a program to support English as a second language. Brisco went to Marion College, Indianapolis, where

She completed her Master’s at Butler University in their Administration program and is currently pursuing her doctorate at Indiana University, where she hopes to graduate in December.

Knights fall in regional opener

SOUTHWOOD KNIGHT Clay Hinrichsen delivers a pitch in Southwood’s loss against Elwood Saturday. (photo by Gary Andrews)

Friday-Saturday in the National League

by Gary Andrews There were two games Friday in the National League and one on Saturday. On Friday the Giants beat the Cubs 11-4 in game one. For the Giants Gabe Lloyd had two home runs, Vogel and Barley had triples and Lake a double. For the Cubs Allison had a home run with Holley hitting a double. In game two the Yankees topped the Braves 2-1. For the Braves Tyler Shepherd had a triple. For the Braves Braden Ripplinger had a triple. Saturday the A’s defeated the Red Sox 13-8. For the A’s Drew

Cooper and Ty Roser had triples. Gage Watkins had a 2 rbi triple with Blakely Stevens hitting a 2 rbi double. For the Red Sox Nate Drancik and Peyton Deeter each had a home run. Deeter also had a double.

COVER THE WHOLE COUNTY

by Gary Andrews The Southwood baseball team used a 5 run third inning to grab a 5-2 lead over Elwood Saturday in their first game of the regional, only to give up 5 runs the last two innings in a 7-5 loss at Wabash. Southwood starter Clay Hinrichsen was dominate the first two innings, striking out 5 of the 6 hitters he faced, with the Knights putting three runners on base with Jackson Blair being hit by a pitch, Robbie Cole reaching on a fielders choice and Brandin Frazier drawing a walk. The Knights couldn’t plate a run and the game was scoreless heading to the third. Elwood would get to Hinrichsen in the third. With a runner on first and two outs the Panthers hit three straight singles to grab a 2-0 lead. The Knights would respond in the bottom of the inning with 5 runs, which would

end up being the only inning they scored in. With one out Jackson Blair drew a walk. After a pop out Robbie Cole roped a triple down the right field line to score Blair and make it 2-1. Christian Deeter followed with a single to tie the game, but the Knights were not done. Jacob Lloyd then singled to put runners on first and second when Brandin Frazier hit a 2rbi double to grab a 4-2 lead. John Collins then scored on an Elwood error and the Knights led 5-2. The Knights looked like they were going to add to their lead in the fourth when Zach Ball dropped a bunt for a single and advanced to second on the bad throw. Jackson Blair then singled to put runners on the corners when Nathan Hollars was hit by a pitch to load the bases with no outs. The Knights would then hit a short fly out that couldn’t advance a runner,

then had a strike out and a ground out to go score less in the inning. Jon Collins drew a one out walk in the bottom of the fifth, then took second on a bad pick off throw, but again the Knight offense stalled. Elwood would score 2 runs in the top of the sixth on two hits, a walk and a passed ball to draw within one at 5-4, when again it looked as though the Knights would score. Jackson Blair led off the inning with a single, followed by Nathan Hollars dropping a bunt and reaching on an error. Robbie Cole would fly out with Blair advancing to third and the Knights had runners on the corners with one out. One more time the offense couldn’t come through, but still led 5-4 with one inning to go. Things would fall apart for the Knights in the top of the seventh when

Hinrichsen hit the first batter. The second batter put down a sac bunt with the Knights getting the out at first, but the runner going to second kept going with an over throw at third and scoring to tie the game at 5. Hinrichsen would strike out the next batter for two outs before an Elwood triple. The Knights went to Brennan Kelly who was greeted by an rbi single as Elwood led 6-5. A balk was then called on Kelly, advancing the runner to second with the next batter singling to drive in a run to make it 7-5. Kelly would get out of the inning with a strike out, as the Knights had three outs left to get two runs. Just like that a line drive out, a strike out and a fly out and Southwood had been eliminated 7-5. The Knights finished the season 20-8 and were sectional champions.

School districts to share Chief Academic Officer... continued from page 17 of the community whenever schools make changes that bring them together. The joint hire by MSD of Wabash County and Wabash City Schools is only an opportunity to collaborate when it comes to their resources. “This cooperation between Wabash City School and MSD allows us an opportunity to gain expertise in the curriculum field and will also help us to build relationships with our surrounding neighbors,” Jason Callahan, Wabash City Schools’ superintendent, told The Paper. According to Dr. Sandra Weaver, superintendent of MSD of Wabash County,

Brisco brings a sense of relationship that the districts are looking for. “She emphasized that she is a relationship person and that is important to us and is one of the best ways to move people forward.” “I think in order to accomplish any goal, you have to establish relationships. You have to have a community with the students and the teachers and administrators, with all the stakeholders. In order to do anything collaboratively, you’ve got to have a trusting, solid foundation of a relationship. That’s important,” said of the relationships she hopes to have with the district members. Brisco’s official

start date is Aug. 1 but she recently met with both districts, starting to build the relationships she believes will be keys the success of this venture. “Getting to develop relationships with both corporations and the entire community is where I start. We have to start with understanding the community,” Brisco told The Paper. Though their meetings didn’t get all the details nailed out, Brisco isn’t worried that it will be an ongoing learning process. “First of all, we’re building as we go. I spent the morning with WCS, with their administration team, getting to know their priorities and their strategic plan and get-

ting to know the personnel. I spent the afternoon with MSD with central office, getting to know them. Right now, it’s getting to know the priorities of each district and trying to find ways we can collaborate initially and where I can support each district. That’s how I see it right now. The future is the future. We’ll build it as we go. Right now it is getting to know people, getting to know the organizations, getting to know the priorities. Then we can find out what the future looks like,” said Brisco. Both superintendents also seem optimistic about the future of the districts with Brisco’s help. “I believe Ms. Brisco

Wabash Innovative Summit for Education to be held at Northfield High School by Emily Armentrout In a collaborative effort, the three Wabash County school districts are holding the first Wabash Innovation Summit for Education at Northfield High School on Thursday, June 12 and Friday, June 13, from 7:15 a.m. to 3 p.m. This conference will network opportunities along with workshops and keynote speakers, Eric Sheninger and George Couros. During the Fall of 2013, Wabash City Schools, the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County and M a n c h e s t e r

Community Schools applied together for an Indiana Department of Education Summer of eLearning grant. This application was completed by Justin Vail, Wabash City Schools, Brian Miller, MSD of Wabash County, and Janelle McLaughlin, M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools and the districts were awarded, together, $15,000 to sponsor the conference. Part of the grant required the applicants to obtain two nationally known speakers. “Both men are school administrators who have built a following by sharing their educational experiences through

Twitter and blogging,” said Lavonne Sparling, former Chief Academic Officer for MSD of Wabash County. Eric Sheninger, Bergen County, New Jersey, will be the keynote speaker for the Thursday session, beginning after registration at 8 a.m. According to the Wabash WISE website, “Eric is the award-winning principal at New Milford High School. His work focuses on leading and leading in the digital age as a model for moving schools and districts forward.” The keynote speaker for the Friday session, beginning at 8

a.m., is George Couros. Couros is a Division Principal of Innovative Teaching and Learning with Parkland School Division, located in Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada. “George is passionate about distributed leadership within his division, and he believes that creating a collaborative environment with all stakeholders will held to ensure that we meet the best needs of all children,” according to wabashwise.org. “In addition to the featured speaker, each day will offer a variety of fifty minute presentations and two (Continued on page 23)

will be able to help us continue to align our curriculum K-12 and help establish the professional development necessary so that we continue to offer a relevant and rigorous education to ensure each student is college and career-ready for success in a global community,” Mr. Callahan told The Paper. “Melissa will learn from the legacy left to this district by Lavonne Sparling and take us to the next level,” added Dr. Weaver. Everyone involved agree this venture will be a work in progress. “I’d like to tell you that today I have a plan, but I don’t necessarily have a plan yet. As I get to know both corporations and work with the administrative team and the teachers, I can better decide how we bring people together for a purpose and what

MELISSA BRISCO that’s going to look like. When I say that we’re building it as we go, we’ll be building it as we go,” said Brisco. When asked what is one thing she would like the community to know about her, she answered it was her passion. ““I am pretty passionate about what I do. I want to respect MSD and Wabash City Schools. I am very passionate about education for

kids. People say ‘doing what’s best for kids,’ but it’s really doing what is best for students to develop into what they can become. If there is one thing for the community to know about me it is that education is my life. My parents were educators. I have a brother and sisterin-law who were in education. I’m pretty passionate about the field and doing what is best for the kids.”

that the Visit Wabash County website is a ‘one stop shop’ for event information throughout the county. You can also use it to upload information about upcoming events.” Manchester Main Street has added a couple Visit Wabash

This is the fourth year in a row that Hanna Lodge has received this honor. This is the highest honor that the Grand Lodge can bestow on a Lodge. (photo provided)

The average homeowner can collect thousands of gallons of rainwater each year. To learn just how much water can be harvested, as well as how many natural resources can be produced from that rain, visit www.save-therain.com, where men and women can calculate their rain collection potential by geographic location and average rainfall. Afterward, homeowners may be inclined to establish their own rainwater harvesting systems. Here is how to get started. * Determine your

roofing material. Potable water can be harvested from homes with sheet metal or slate roofing. Clay or adobe tiles also may be acceptable. Asphalt, wood shingles and tar roofs may leach toxic chemicals into the water, making it unsafe for drinking. This rainwater may only be collected to use for irrigation methods or washing cars and outdoor items. * Check gutter materials. Some gutters are made with lead soldering components. A commercial lead swab test can help you determine if there is lead

present in your gutters. At a later time you can choose to replace the gutters if you desire a potable supply of water. * Invest in a collection tank or barrel. A number of manufacturers offer prefabricated rain collection systems complete with collection barrels. Otherwise, you can use your own barrel or tank to house the collected water. Ensure it is large enough to handle the volume of water collected. * Purchase and install leaf guards. If many trees surround your home, you proba-

bly accumulate leaf and tree debris in your home gutters and downspouts. Leaf guards will help keep the gutters clear and increase water flow through the water collection system. * Create a water collection area. A portion of the gutter system should be removed so that it connects to the collection barrel or tank. As the rain falls, it will run down the roof and into the gutters before it streams into the downspouts. The downspout connected to the tank will deposit the water directly inside. Filters can be installed to help block the flow of debris. * Outfit the tank for overflow and water usage. A spigot and hose connection makes it easy to use the collected water for outdoor purposes. Many rainwater collection systems are designed with an overflow safeguard that will prevent the water from backing up through the system. It will divert the rainwater back out of the downspout when the barrel or tank is full. A rainwater collection system harnesses a natural source of water to be used for gardens and other outdoor purposes. This water doesn’t contain chlorine or other additives, making it relatively clean and safe to use. Homeowners should check to see if a permit is necessary to install a rainwater collection system and then begin gathering water for various uses.

Wabash Innovative Summit for Education to be held at Northfield High School... continued from page 21 hour workshops. We are excited that we have presenters coming from more than thirty different organizations offering almost 100 sessions for the two days,” Sparling told The Paper. Most of the presenters are educators from all across Indiana, but there are even educators coming from Texas, Minnesota and Florida. “Some of the best learning takes place when teachers share with other teachers,” continued Sparling. Sessions will also feature students who will share their skills or projects, which will allow teachers to learn from students as well. “We are really

excited looking forward to collectively moving forward as we learn from each other,” said Sparling of the conference’s sessions.

Wabash GOP delegates attend State Convention The Wabash County delegates joined approximately 1,690 other hoosier delegates at the 2014 Indiana Republican State Convention, on June 6-7, at the Grand Wayne Center in Fort Wayne. On Friday evening, the convention began with words from United States Senator Dan Coats, then Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus spoke. The keynote speaker

that evening was Fox News host and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Indiana Governor Mike Pence opened the General Session on Saturday morning, which was the Governor’s 55th birthday. The 2014 Indiana Republican Party Platform, written by the Platform Committee, was overwhelming approved by the delegation. Furthermore, three candidates for

statewide offices were chosen. Connie Lawson for Secretary of State and Suzanne Crouch for State Auditor were both unopposed and nominated by acclamation. After three ballots, Kelly Mitchell won the spot for State Treasurer. All three candidates will appear on the November 2014 ballot. The 11 delegates from Wabash County who attended the convention were: Bonnie

We also have a lot of volunteer help, including the MSD of Wabash County central office staff, the tech staff from the three districts, par-

ents and about 15 junior-senior high school students to thank.” Registration is $25 for only Thursday, June 12 or $25 for only Friday, June 13, but if you register for both days, registration is $40.

Ballinger reminds community of fathers’ worth Dear editor, My son was born on Father’s Day. He was born while my dad was dying from cancer. I named my son Chandler, which means “candle maker”. Translated, Chandler was a “light” for our family in a very dark time. My dad’s generation wasn’t much for talking and it was uncomfortable for me as well. When my son was born I took him to my dad’s house and told my dad that I was making my son the namesake to him, Ira Leon Ballinger. I told my dad that I wanted my son to have his character traits (hardworking, provider, wise, persevering, h o n o r i n g , honesty…etc.). I always knew that my dad loved me but I don’t remember him

ever telling me that he did until that day. It was freeing and honoring. In addition, he referred to me as a man. I was 30+ years old and by society’s standards I had been a “man” for well over a decade. However, for my dad to say I was a man was humbling. As a child my dad was the smartest person alive and could “beat up” any other dad as far as playground arguments go. As a teenager my dad dressed odd and didn’t understand life. When I was about 22 years old, dad became very wise and gave good counsel. It wasn’t dad who changed, it was me. Now that dad has passed his wit, wisdom, and humor continues to influence all of us. Add these words in front of the following,

“Children with Fathers who are involved are…” •40 percent less likely to repeat a grade in school. •70 percent less likely to drop out of school. •more likely to get A’s in school. •more likely to enjoy school and engage in extracurricular activities. Add these three words to the end of each of the following “come from fatherless homes” •75 percent of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers •Students twice as likely to drop out of school •63 percent of youth suicides •90 percent of all homeless and runaway children •85 percent of all

Timbercrest Senior Living Community holds summer festival

Timbercrest Senior Living Community hosted a Summer Festival this weekend in celebration of their 125-year anniversary. The festival was a huge success with hundreds of members of the community in attendance as well as Timbercrest residents and staff. “It was a wonderful weekend all around to celebrate this 125-year milestone. We couldn’t be happier with the response that we had. The weather was absolutely perfect and the entertainment was a huge hit,” said Carrie Vineyard, Community Relations Coordinator for Timbercrest. On Thursday, June 5,

festivalgoers enjoyed a free slice of Nordmann’s Nook pie and were entertained by the Fort Wayne Chamber Brass. Friday’s activities kicked off with a children’s carnival, train rides, moonwalk, Velcro wall, face painting, clowns, and more. Music from The Bulldogs entertained festivalgoers Friday evening. The fun continued on Saturday with Belles and Beaus Square Dancing, a Hymn Sing, and the children’s carnival, which also included a petting farm by Animal Grams and horse drawn wagon rides. Appetites were satisfied by an all-u-

can-eat Dan’s Fish Fry for lunch. Music during lunch was provided by ‘Captain Bob the Singing Skipper, and the grand finale of the event was the nationally recognized and Grammy nominated Southern Gospel group Triumphant Quartet. T i m b e r c r e s t Administrator, David Lawrenz stated, “What a great celebration! I’m so grateful to everyone who made this possible; staff, residents, volunteers, sponsors, and guests. I commend the staff for planning and carrying out this major threeday event in addition to their regular responsibilities. The event was especially celebratory

for everyone after learning Friday morning that the Department of Health found Timbercrest to be deficiency free.” Timbercrest would like to extend a big ‘thank you’ to the Kiwanis Club for their partnership on the Fish Fry, and to these Festival sponsors: Main View, Harting Furniture Gallery,

Dorais Chevrolet has also been an equipment donor to the Wabash Little League this year. “I was out at the complex and a player had broken his catcher’s helmet so I took him to the equipment locker and gave him a brand new helmet and his face just lit up,” said Alan Zimmerman, president of the Wabash Little League.

USDA announces programs to conserve sensitive land and help beginning farmers

Farmers, ranchers and landowners committed to protecting and conserving environmentally sensitive land may now sign up for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Additionally, retiring farmers enrolled in CRP could receive incentives to transfer a portion of their land to beginning, disadvantaged or veteran farmers through the Transition

Incentives Program (TIP). CRP provides incentives to producers who utilize conservation methods on environmentally sensitive lands. For example, farmers are monetarily compensated for establishing long-term vegetative species, such as approved grasses or trees (known as “covers”) to control soil erosion, improve water quality, and enhance

wildlife habitat. CRP consists of a “continuous” and “general” sign-up period. Continuous sign up for the voluntary program starts June 9. Under continuous sign-up authority, eligible land can be enrolled in CRP at any time with contracts of up to 10 to 15 years in duration. In lieu of a general signup this year, USDA will allow producers with general CRP contracts expiring this September to have the option of a one-year contract extension. USDA will also implement the 2014 Farm Bill’s requirement that producers enrolled through general signup for more than five years can exercise the option to opt-out of the program if certain other conditions are met. In addition, the new grassland provisions, which will allow producers to graze their enrolled land, will enable producers

to do so with more flexibility. The Transition Incentives Program provides two additional years of payments for retired farmers and ranchers who transition expiring CRP acres to socially disad-

vantaged, military veteran, or beginning producers who return the land to sustainable grazing or crop production. Sign up will also begin June 9. TIP funding was increased by more than 30 percent in the 2014 Farm Bill, pro-

viding up to $33 million through 2018. As part of the 2014 Farm Bill, participants meeting specific qualifications may have the opportunity to terminate their CRP contract during fiscal year 2015 if the contract has

been in effect for a minimum of five years and if other conditions are also met. For more information on CRP and other FSA programs, visit a local FSA county office or go online to www.fsa.usda.gov.

USDA awarding $6 million to prepare farmers for new Farm Bill programs Farm Bill implementation continues at brisk pace with universities and state cooperative extension programs now set to help educate farmers Ag riculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced on May 29 that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is awarding $6 million to universities and

businesses. The University of Illinois (lead for the National Coalition for Producer Education), along with the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri and the Agricultural and Food Policy Center at Texas A&M (co-leads for the National Association of

cooperative state extension services to develop online decision tools and other materials and train experts to educate producers about several key farm bill programs. The new Web tools will help farmers and ranchers determine what participation in programs established by the 2014 Farm Bill will mean for their

Valerie Frank and Adam Mann to wed

Valerie Frank, Wabash, and Adam Mann, Wabash, would like to announce their engagement. Valerie is the daughter of David and Linda Frank, Milford, Ohio. She is currently employed at Midwest Eye Consultants, Wabash. Adam is the son of Nora Moore, Wabash. He is currently employed at Paperworks, Wabash. The couple plans to wed on July 4 at noon in Wabash.

Agricultural and Food Policy), will receive a total of $3 million to develop the new online tools and train state-based extension agents who can in turn help educate farmers. “Helping farmers and ranchers understand new Farm Bill programs and what the programs mean for their families is one of USDA’s top priorities,” said Vilsack. “With the resources we’re providing, university experts will help ensure farmers and ranchers are highly educated as they make critical decisions about new programs that impact their livelihoods. The new tools that will be developed will empower farmers and ranchers to select the plan that best fits their unique needs.” The new resources will help farmers and ranchers make an educated choice between the new Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) pro-

gram and the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program. Using the new online tools, producers will be able to use data unique to their specific farming operations combined with factors like the geographical diversity of crops, soils, weather and climates across the country to test a variety of financial scenarios before officially signing up for the new program options later this year. Once a producer enrolls in the ARC or PLC program, he or she must remain in the program through the 2018 crop year. New tools will be provided for other programs as well. Sign-up for the newly established Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP) begins late this summer and enrollment for “buy-up” provisions under the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) will begin early next year. An online MPP tool

will be available when sign up begins and the NAP buy-up provision resource will become available to producers in the fall for the 2015 crop year. The University of Illinois, as lead for NCPE, and FAPRI at the University of Missouri and AFPC, at Texas A&M, as coleads for NAAFP will develop the ARC and PLC Web tool program. The University of Illinois will also develop the online resources for MPP and NAP. USDA will also award $3 million to state cooperative extension services—a nationwide network of experts based at land-grant universities—for outreach and education on the new Farm Bill programs. Funds will be used to conduct public education outreach meetings where producers can speak with local extension agents and Farm Service Agency (FSA) staff. Outreach meetings will begin

late this summer to help farmers and ranchers understand the new programs and their options. While universities work to create new online tools, producers now have access to a preliminary website that gives them a chance to begin familiarizing themselves with the new programs and the type of information they will need to consider when deciding which program options work better for them. At this site, farmers and ranchers can view ARC and PLC projected payments, ARC guarantees, and PLC payment rate projections. These tables are available on the FSA website. T h u r s d a y ’ s announcement was made possible through the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

monetary donations during the four-year collaboration. Tractor Supply has raised almost $4 million for 4-H programs across the country through Paper Clover Campaigns in just four years. Shoppers at Tractor Supply Company and Del’s Feed and Food Supply stores had the opportunity to purchase paper clovers between April 23 – May 4 for a $1 or more during checkout. Seventy percent of the funds raised benefit state and local 4-H youth development program activities, such as local camps and after-school programs, and granted scholarships for 4-H youth in the communities where Tractor Supply and Del’s stores are located. Thirty percent of the

total funds are donated to National 4-H Council to help connect more young people across America to high-quality 4-H youth development programs. “This spring’s Paper Clover Campaign was a huge success thanks to our dedicated customers,” said John Wendler, senior vice president of Marketing for Tractor Supply Company. “We exceeded our goal, and we couldn’t have done it without them. These campaigns give us the opportunity to enhance our store’s communities and provide support to our valued partner in National 4-H Council and its local programs.” “We are thrilled with the result of our spring Paper Clover Campaign,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president & CEO,

National 4-H Council. “Through this important relationship with Tractor Supply Company, we raise the necessary resources to empower 4-H educators across many local communities in the United States to make a positive impact in the lives of more young people.” Tractor Supply Company and National 4-H Council now look ahead to their fall Paper Clover Campaign set for Oct. 8-19, 2014.
