Former resident, director brings movie to the Eagles Theatre
Wabash City Schools board meeting sheds light on bright future by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com
by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com
Former Wabash resident Denis Henry Hennelly has written, produced, directed and edited numerous films, including his most recent piece “Goodbye World,” a comedy/drama about friends trying to survive an apocalypse. Hennelly will bring his movie to Wabash to play in the Eagles Theatre on May 1, though it will come out in select theaters and on iTunes on April 4. The film stars Adrian Grenier (Entourage, The Devil Wears Prada), Gaby Hoffman (Field of Dreams, Uncle Buck), Ben McKenzie (The O.C., 88 Minutes), Mark Webber (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Snow Day), Kerry Bishé (Argo, Sex and the City), Caroline Dhavernas (The Switch, Breach), and Scott Mescudi (Fright Night, Need for Speed). Hennelly gave The Paper an inside-look at what it’s like to direct a film, and how Wabash influenced his style. Ammons: How long did it take you to make this film? Hennelly: We shot for three weeks in northern California in Mendocino County, which reminds me of Wabash mixed with California weirdness. It’s a small community with a lot of agriculture and artisans and people have their shops where they make stuff and sell it. It’s a real community of a diverse group of people that care about each other. It’s really one of the places in the world that reminds me of Wabash, because that was my experience in Wabash. We’ve got a bunch of different people here, but they all care about each other because they’re from the same place. I shot a film in Wabash around 14 years ago, and DENIS HENRY HENNELLY, director and co-writer of “Goodbye World,” will be at the show’s premier at the Eagles on May 1. He will answer quesshooting in Wabash was great, and this was similar. tions and listen to reactions as his hometown neighbors see the show for (continued on page 3) the first time. (photo provided)

Lindsey Ogle describes time on CBS’s reality show Survivor: Cagayan by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com Season 28 of the hit reality show “Survivor” has been anything but easy for contestants. Competitors are left to survive on an island with little supplies, all while competing in challenges before voting each other off of the island. This season, castaways are in the Filipino province of Cagayan and split into three different tribes; Luzon, Solana or Aparri, otherwise known as Brains, Beauty and Brawn. Lindsey Ogle, a Northfield graduate and Wabash native, is competing season on the Aparri, or Brawn tribe. Ogle describes the traits that made her a good contestant for the show. “It’s because I’m such a people person,” Ogle said. “I think that I’m just a social person. I work well with my hands and I’m a hard worker, I don’t think that’s really represented well during the episodes we’ve seen, but I really am a hard worker. Plus, I’m athletic. There was a moment when we were making the shelter and I was weaving a lot of the bamboo leaves, and that probably made our shelter a little bit more secure. I couldn’t have done that if I didn’t braid people’s hair every single day.” Ogle currently owns the Fade Salon in Kokomo. “We actually own two bars and a salon,” Ogle said. “I’m soon to be starting my own clothing store with hand-knit clothing.” With all of the fashion and beauty aspects of her career, people naturally wonder why she was on the Brawn tribe instead of Beauty. “I have people come into the salon all the time and ask that,” Ogle said. “I think that everybody has different elements and that Jeff (continued on page 7)
Wabash City Schools held the latest board meeting at the central office on Monday, March 17. This meeting shed light on a bright and exciting future for the students, the staff and the administration. Wabash High School principal Josh Blossom started the board meeting by presenting the Spirit of the Apache Award to Payten Keffaber, a junior at Wabash High School. Keffaber has been serving Wabash High School in volunteer roles since she was a freshman. “Payten is not the kind of kid that asks for attention at all. She deserves a lot high praise for the leadership she shows at our school,” said Principal Blossom. “There is rarely an event at the high school that you would go to and not see Payten doing something.” Keffaber’s latest endeavor was taking charge of a student-driven blood drive. Mr. Blossom gave Keffaber the reins, and she took the event from there. “I don’t think I touched base with Payten until two days before the drive,” said Blossom. “Sure enough, she had talked to everybody she needed to.” Keffaber scheduled volunteers to help at the event. She made sure that students were signed up to donate, and she even had a set up and tear down crew assembled for the event. The result was 57 students donating to the blood drive. “For this blood drive and for everything that Payten does for our school, I’m to happy give the Spirit of the Apache Award,” said Blossom. The Wabash City School corporation gave out a second award at this meeting. The Recognition Award was presented to Todd Daywalt for his 22 years of service to the corporation as a member of the Building Corporation. “I was amazed to hear that Mr. Daywalt had served Wabash City Schools on a volunteer basis for the last 22 years,” Jason Callahan, Wabash City Schools Superintendent, told the board. As the school board officially accepted the resignation of current Wabash Middle School principal Scott Bumgardner, the corporation looked ahead by officially filling the middle school principal position. The board approved current W.C. Mills Principal Mike Mattern to step into the position at the start of the 2014-2015 school year. With current Chief Business Officer Jan Roland retiring at the end of the school year, Matt Stone was previously approved to take over the CBO position. At Monday’s meeting, Stone was approved to fill the shoes of Scott Bumgardner as the new Varsity Lady Apache basketball team head coach. Following approvals of the board’s recommendations, three presentations were given that offer Wabash City and county schools a bright future.

3 ‘Goodbye World’ director brings movie to the Eagles Theatre... continued from front page THE PAPER
www.thepaperofwabash.com
March 19, 2014
Anyway, we shot for three weeks, the writing process took about half a year prior to that, and the editing process took about nine months after that. Ammons: How would you describe the plot of “Goodbye World”? H e n n e l l y : Basically, a group of estranged college friends who have grown apart over the years reunite in an off-the-grid country house as civilization is collapsing back in the rest of the world. Ammons: What pushes it to collapse? Hennelly: There is a mass text that goes out, but primarily there is a cyber-attack that shuts down utilities, and at the same time, there are some targeted physical attacks on infrastructure, and the culmination of those things creates a situation where people can no longer live in cities or urban areas, which creates scarcity, which creates panic, which creates chaos. The idea of it is basically that our reliance and dependence on things that are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and the physical world is too great. If there was an attack that took out utilities and shipping, combine that with a few targeted things, and that would create panic amongst people who would start to potentially hoard resources, causing civil unrest and a government repression to that civil unrest. In the film we don’t see a lot of this. Our characters are basically away from that. They’re at a country house that’s somewhat sustainable, they have what they need, they’re not really close to an urban center, and so they’re really dealing with their own mini-apoca-
lypses. It’s only towards the end of the film that the discord and the chaos of the outer world starts to creep towards their safe enclave. We were definitely inspired by “The Big Chill.” Ammons: Do any of the characters reflect your own life in any way? Hennelly: Kind of. I co-wrote this with a friend of mine, and we definitely spent the first four months of the writing process just talking and talking about characters, and coming up with seven characters that would be interesting and we’d like to spend time with. We certainly refer to stories in our own lives and stories of friends. I have a really close network of friends, of people I went to high school with. I see them every once in a while and I’m used to that process of, “Hey, what have you been doing? I’ve kind of been following you on Facebook, but that doesn’t mean I know what’s up with you.” And that’s sort of where these people are. I think we can all relate to that as we get away from our friendship networks that we create in our lives. Ammons: Which high school did you go to? Hennelly: I went to Wabash for my freshmen and sophomore years, and then I went to The Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics and Humanities in Muncie my junior and senior years. It really is about these friends and dealing with your own personal issues and trying to enjoy each other and enjoy being together when they know something is happening somewhere else. We have had some people see the film and say,
“These people are ignoring the apocalypse that’s going on around,” but, we kind of feel like that’s what we do every day. Right now, there are apocalypses happening, whether it be in Syria, or the Ukraine or even in a neighborhood nearby where someone is being foreclosed on or they’re homeless. Their world is falling apart and we go on about it like nothing is affecting us. Ammons: What were some of the challenges in directing this film? Hennelly: For us, we thought it was important to have a cast who we thought
were great actors and were names of people known, because that’s the best way to get people to want to watch your movie. We were really picky about casting, and it was a low-budget movie, but we tried to find seven actors who were both great actors and recognizable names. That was the biggest challenge, because all of our actors are used to making a ton of money on all the other things that they work on, so when they decide they want to work on something for a little bit less money, but they like the script and the story and think it will
be fun to be in northern California in wine country for three weeks, a lot of times they just want to be the star in the movie. We wanted to find people that were willing to be one of seven people, where it’s going to be about the group. Finding those team players was a challenge. We were casting up until the day before we shot. Take away all the hotels from Wabash and you have the area we were shooting in. There were very few places to stay; they were mostly vacation rentals and things like that. We had to book places to stay
have any other comments you’d like to share? Hennelly: I’d just like to invite everybody to come out and see the movie at Eagles. We’ve played film festivals with it and we’re opening in 10 cities on April 4, but for me, I’m most excited about going and seeing it at Eagles, which is where I grew up watching movies as a kid. I think it’ll be a fun night and I’ll be there, so people can tell me how much they like or don’t like the movie afterwards.

Manchester Community Schools kicking off reading initiative Manchester Community Schools are deep in the throes of kicking off a community-wide Reading Initiative. Their slogan, “What are you reading now?” is popping up all over their school buildings, the North Manchester Public Library, and even in some local businesses. Each school building has planned their
months in advance, so we were locked into it. Ammons: Are there any other movies coming up in your near future? Hennelly: I’m working on a documentary right now, and hopefully we’ll get that done this year. I’m certainly very interested in coming back and shooting in Indiana. I really enjoyed doing that years ago and I love the way Indiana looks and I love all the beautiful things there. I’m working on some scripts now that take place there. Ammons: Do you
own kick-off and reading goals for the remainder of the school year. On March 21, Manchester Junior/Senior High School will be hosting Indiana Superintendent of Education, Glenda Ritz. She will be at MJSHS from 1:30-2:45 p.m., touring the school, meeting the readers, and speaking to the student body. Ms. Ritz is
passionate about reading and connects well with high school students. She will be speaking to everyone from 2:00-2:30 p.m. Manchester Elementary School is having their kickoff on April 14 during a school-wide Skype visit from popular children’s author, Kate McMullan. The kindergarten through third grade
students will also be visited and read to by the Cat in the Hat. Manchester Intermediate School led the pack by kicking-off their reading initiative on March 8. There were several great videos produced, and each class created a song, chant, or poem to share with the student body.

I’m guessing that, given David’s cleancut reputation, he had no trouble obtaining this gun legally. And now he is dead. Our nation is being held captive by gun manufacturers who are creating fear in order to make money by selling more guns. Please help stop this madness by supporting gun control. With stronger laws in place, David John Mills might still be alive. Rachel Gross North Manchester

Lindsey Ogle describes time on CBS’s reality show Survivor: Cagayan... continued from front page (Probst, host) said it perfectly when he said ‘Just because they’re on a tribe does not mean that it’s all they are.’ I am a little bit of a tomboy, but I think that everybody has so much inside of them, and that’s what makes the game interesting.” Strategy is an important part of the game. Contestants must divide their energy between the physical challenges and the social game. “My strategy changed once I got there,” Ogle said. “I originally thought I would just fly under the radar, and then I thought, ‘you know what? I’m going to have some fun.’ I felt like when I had watched previous seasons, people weren’t having fun. Everyone looked miserable, and there are times when you’re like that. But I think there’s also a lighter side to it, which you can kind of see. I know that CBS posts a lot of their extra videos that you can look at, and I really like those videos on their website, because you can kind of see more of a backstory, and it’s not just, 45 minutes of footage, you get to see a little bit of the understory too. While Ogle may have seen episodes before her own, she wouldn’t describe
herself as a die-hard fan before she went on. “I’m a new fan,” Ogle said. “I really wasn’t a big fan of any television show, just because I never really watched it. Now I get addicted to it. When Survivor’s on I tell everybody to be quiet. When my season came up, I obviously got super excited. I think I’m the biggest fan for season 28, for sure.” Even though Wabash isn’t exactly a tropical environment, Ogle says her experience here also prepared her for the show. “I think that growing up in Wabash, there’s a lot of outdoor activities. I think that by growing up in Indiana helped. I love sports, and basketball is a big thing, and we did sports and things like that. I think that being an active and proactive person in your community helps. Wabash is a very supportive community. “I think it did prepare me for Survivor because you have to be a people-person, and in the more rural communities everybody knows everybody and of course everybody is going to know your business and that’s kind of how Survivor is too.” Ogle is known on the show for her long
Honeywell House hosts Pysanky egg decorating demonstration The public is invited to learn and observe the ancient folk art of “Pysanky,” the Ukrainian art of decorating raw eggs, when Jane Willmert demonstrates the technique at the Honeywell House on Tuesday, April 1 at 7 p.m. Jack Miller is sponsoring the event. Willmert will share information about patterns, colors, and the process of making a Pysanky egg, as well as demonstrate the method. She first
became interested in the art form after seeing photos in a craft magazine. It was another five years before a co-worker taught Willmert the craft. Pysanky patterns are created with a wax-resistant method called “batik.” Designs are “written” in hot wax with a stylus or pinhead. The event is free, but reservations are requested and can be made by calling 260563-2326.
black and orange dreadlocks and tattoos. “I think there was some prejudgment probably by a lot of my cast members, and I think that when I get kind of talking and being the goofball that I am and make jokes and make people laugh or annoying people, I think they go ‘Oh, she’s got tattoos and dreadlocks and this going on,’ but then I just became a goofball. I think that their prejudgments weren’t very accurate.” Being on any television program exposes a person to the internet and critiques and comments from anyone and everyone. Searching Ogle’s name leads to blogs and articles dubbing her “the hot Survivor castaway.” “I have clients come in and say ‘We didn’t know you were buff like that,’” Ogle said. “I always tell them that I was on the starvation diet. That’s the reason I stopped working out before, because I get really, really ripped. But when you’re starving
for, goodness-knows how long, I start getting abs and my muscles start bulging. “But it’s definitely flattering. I think that there’s typical beautiful women with the curves and the long blond hair and everybody has different qualities that people find attractive. I’m not a size two. So for people to say ‘she’s hot’ or whatever it is, it definitely surprised me. It made me feel good, and I realized that beauty is such an open thing.” Last week’s episode featured Ogle and her relationship with another contestant former NBA All-Star Cliff Robinson. “Cliff ’s a really awesome guy. People are really dogging Tony about how he talks about Cliff, but he’s really just playing the game. I mean, it’s a game. Cliff and I had a really strong relationship and he’s a worker,” Ogle said. “You have friends and you have people you mess with. Someone asked if we were getting married on a social website, and I was like, ‘What? Are
you kidding me?’ It’s funny because my husband is 5’5” and white. He plays the piano and the guitar. And then there’s Cliff, who’s African American and 7’7” and an NBA basketball player, and that’s obviously not my style.” Ogle explained that it is possible to have a friend of the opposite sex. She also explained how little of what happens on Survivor is able to be seen. If people are calm and helpful for 23 and a half hours, but have a bad half hour, chances are viewers are only going to see that portion. And this sorted through a week’s worth of film. “If you think that it’s cake and you think that it looks easy, I would love to take you on a threeday camping trip and we’ll do exactly what I did for three days,” Ogle said. “A lot of people say, ‘Oh, well I won’t do that.’ And I say, ‘Really, I’ll go with you. We’ll take a bag of rice and a bottle of water and we’ll go for three days and we’ll
see if it’s cake.’” Ogle says Survivor helped her discover herself and gave her confidence for future challenges. “I feel like I can do so many more things because I experienced what I experienced on that island. I really do

THE ROANN LIONS Club met on March 5 at Roann Town Hall. President Keith Ford opened the meeting by welcoming the Lions Club District Governor David Eisen. Mr. Eisen shared with the club what he has done as the district governor this past year. He tries to visit each club in the district and enjoys hearing about all the different club
projects. He is inspired by all they do. He told the club that Lions Club membership has dropped over the past few years and the state of Indiana is down 200 members. Since Lions clubs are such a great accent to communities, we should encourage other people to join. Mr. Eisen also shared about his experiences in Germany. He went there to attend a Lions Convention. He saw many great sights, and related that it was the experience of a lifetime. Mr. Eisen also gave the Roann Lions Club a Council of Governors Lions banner to display in their meeting room. Thank you to those who donated to the Lions Club at the
Valentine’s meal. It was a big success. The Northfield youth program was very good, and everyone enjoyed the music. Including the youth, there were a total of 57 at the banquet.

Drug Task Force arrests two On Friday, March 14, the Wabash Drug Task Force made arrests on two subjects identified as Aaron Monroe and Curt Woodward, for dealing heroin. The arrests were the result of tips received and subsequent surveillance conducted by Officers of the DTF and a culmination of other facts and events, at a local hotel. A search warrant was obtained and executed in the early afternoon hours, resulting in both subjects’ arrests. A
large quantity of heroin was recovered along with evidence indicative of sales and use. The suspects were transported to the Wabash County Jail where an incident occurred involving Monroe attempting to escape, and additional evidence being recovered. The amount of heroin recovered will likely be confirmed at between 1/2 to 1 ounce. This is a substantial quantity of heroin with large street value. A trend involving drug deal-

Daughters of the American Revolution hold meeting The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on March 11 in the Blocher Room of the North Manchester Public Library. The administration looks forward to welcoming members to the 123rd C o n t i n e n t a l Congress on June 2529, in Washington, D.C. In 2013, DAR verified and approved 13,906 membership applications, breaking a record set in 1921. Barbara Amiss shared the National Defense report on the five Sullivan brothers lost in one day and remembered forever. Albert, Francis, George, Joseph and Madison Sullivan were born in Waterloo, Iowa, between 1914 and 1920. All five were assigned to the USS Juneau in February 1942. They remained
with the ship through her Atlantic shakedown operations and subsequent combat actions in the G u a d a l c a n a l Campaign. All were lost with her on Nov. 13, 1942, a tragedy that received wide publicity in the United States and resulted in a new Navy policy discouraging family members from serving together on the same ship. In February 1943, the destroyer Putnam, then under construction, was renamed the USS The Sullivans (DD-537) in honor of the Sullivan Brothers. The ship no longer serves her country at sea, but serves as a museum and a tool for education, in the Buffalo Naval and Serviceman’s Park. Thomas L. Brown gave the program on his mother’s patriot, Henry Warner. Private Warner served in Pennsylvania as a Ranger on the
Frontier from 1778 to 1783. Tom’s mother was Kathryn Metzger Brown. Mr. Brown described the uniform he was wearing and how it related to the early war. His outer coat was blue with red trim, a white linen banded collar shirt, white gaiters, a black felt tri-cornered dragoon hat adorned with a white cockade, a flintlock musket with a bayonet as his chief weapon of the war, a wooden canteen, and a haversack to carry rations. A soldier carried his cartridges of paper, black powder and lead balls in a leather box slung over his shoulder. A white canvas knapsack over the other shoulder was used to carry personal items. The American Revolution was, in many ways, the greatest war ever fought by any people: not in the number who took part, (that
honor goes to the World War II) and not in the number of American casualties (the Civil War saw many more). The American Revolution was the greatest war because of what it did to and for the people, to and for the world. The next regular meeting will take place at 7:00 p.m., April 8, 2014 at the North Manchester Public Library, Blocher Room. The program will be presented by Carrie Roush, a descendant of Frances Slocum, our chapter’s namesake. DAR membership is open to any woman over 18 years of age, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution. Those having questions about their family history lineage information may contact Linda Thompson at 260-563-4661 or Barbara Amiss at 260-982-4376.

Snow compromises travel, even for plows AN EARLY MORNING RAIN TURNED TO HEAVY SNOW Wednesday, March 12, causing area schools to cancel and multiple snow plow drivers to slide off the road. County Highway Department drivers Jeff France and Ben Black worked to pull Jeff Weimann out of a ditch on 200 W just north of 400 N. Weimann was able to narrowly miss hitting a telephone pole as his truck slid off the road. “I’ve about had it with this weather!” said Weimann, who was a bit frustrated with the situation, but had a sense of humor about it, joking about the hopeful possibility of “accidentally” miscopying his truck number. “I’m just so glad I didn’t hit that pole.” Weimann and his #25 tandem truck are responsible for clearing a block of roads bordered by S.R. 16 to the north, U.S. 24 to the south, S.R. 13 to the east and S.R. 15 to the west. Another day behind the plow comes as Highway Superintendent John Martin looks to ask the County Council for additional funds to cover the department’s overtime, resulting from the season’s many snowstorms.

FAME Festival to be held March 22
Student performances (piano, vocal, band, and recorder music, dance, and martial arts) and student art displays, along with workshops featuring guest professional musicians, dancers, and visual artists will all be a part of the Wabash FAME Festival on Saturday, March 22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Honeywell Center. This is the eighth year for a festival of this kind in Wabash. Admission to the festival and participation in most activities is free-of-charge. This year’s festival will spotlight the cultures of countries in Northwestern Europe: Germany, Austria, S w i t z e r l a n d , Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland. Piano performances will be in the Honeywell Room during the morning, beginning at 9:30 a.m. and continuing throughout the after-
noon. Terry LeMaster of the Noisemaker invites anyone to come learn the basics of guitar playing, starting at 1:30 p.m. Ford Theater stage will feature student performances and spotlight performances by the Alpentraum Ensemble, professional guest musicians. Alpentraum is a group of 10 alphorn players, one performer with Swiss cowbells, and an accordion player. After observing them perform, those attending will be given the opportunity to try to play these unique instruments. Sessions with Alpentraum will be at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. Student performances will start at 9 a.m. and continue throughout the a f t e r n o o n . Performances will include students from M a n c h e s t e r E l e m e n t a r y, S o u t h w o o d E l e m e n t a r y, L a F o n t a i n e Elementary, O.J. N e i g h b o u r s Elementary, and
Wabash Middle School. Mixed Martial Arts with Rocky France will begin at 2 p.m., followed by Wabash Valley Dance Theater at 2:30 p.m. Student art displays will represent seventeen schools with over 2000 works on display in Eugenia’s, the Haist Room, and some art boards in the lobby of Honeywell Center. Student-decorated wastebasket/trash cans will be on display in the lobby and will be available as items for a silent auction. These are usually group projects by art clubs or selected students from the schools. The unique, one-of-a-kind art pieces are great conversation starters in your home or office, as well as being a piece of usable art. Bids will be accepted throughout the day and the highest bidder may purchase the item at the end of the festival. If not in attendance at 4 p.m., the winner will be notified by phone. Participating schools were invited to submit student draw-
ings for consideration as designs for the FAME posters that have helped advertise the festival. Winning designs that grace this year’s posters were drawn by Konner Carpenter, a second grader from Metro North Elementary; Madison Johnson, a sixth grader from L a F o n t a i n e Elementary; Sheldon Jones, a fifth grader at W. C. Mills Elementary; Bree Meeks, a sixth grader from Blair Pointe Elementary in Peru; and Annie Schuler, a fourth grader at Sharp Creek Elementary. The winning posters will be framed and displayed at the festival. Sanna and Mars Longden, folkdance experts from Evanston, Illinois, will present four workshops during the day in Legacy Hall. The sessions will start at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 2 p.m. and will last for about 40-45 minutes. If you arrive after the start of a session, please wait to enter the circle of dancers until the end
of a dance. Four visual artists will share their expertise as they teach sessions during the day. Sarah Luginbill from Peru, will lead sessions in watercolor painting for 25 students per session, ages third grade and older. Students will be given a choice of two paintings they may paint. Sessions with Sarah will be in the Crystal Room, starting at 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. Debi Shepler, an art instructor at Indiana Wesleyan University, will lead sessions in tesselations, an art form developed by M. C. Escher from Holland. Sessions will be limited to 25 students. If students are younger than third grade, they must have an adult with them. These sessions will begin at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m. in the Board Room. LaFontaine resident Karen Welsh, a teacher at Community School for the Arts, will lead sessions in which stu-
dents will create a “selfie” coat-of-arms. Karen’s sessions will be for students in grades 3 and above and will be held in the upper level lobby. Sessions will start at 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m., and 2 p.m. Wabash County artist Sue Scamihorn will lead sessions in which students will make clay gnomes, celebrating the culture of Norway. Her sessions will be limited to 10 students each because of the drying of the clay. Her sessions, in the Nixon Room downstairs, will start at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3 p.m. The popular Imaginarium Make-it, Take-it craft area will be in the skating rink. Students will be able to make 10 crafts to take home. Most of these projects can be completed in 5 or 10 minutes, in contrast to the 30-minute sessions for older students with the visiting guest artists. Muncie Music Center is providing
instruments for a “petting zoo” that will be open all day for students to try playing different band and orchestral instruments. Their display will be in the main lobby. TAG art with Troy Ganser from Fort Wayne will be at the festival for face painting and caricature drawings. Wabash’s festival is supported by grants and donations and is expected to be self-sustaining in its finances. The local planning committee, headed by Judy Ward and Jo Nordman, appreciates the support of various foundations, businesses, and individuals who support our projects with monetary donations. Major supporters this year include Ford Meter Box Foundation, Inc.; Hidden Hollows Retreat and Alpentraum Ensemble; Honeywell Foundation, Inc.; REMC Operation Round-Up; Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity; Wabash County Arts Council; and Wabash County United Fund.

Relay for Life of Wabash County to kickoff fundraising efforts On Thursday, March 20, the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Wabash County will officially get underway as event volunteers and participants gather at the Beacon Credit Union Administration Building beginning at 6 p.m. for a kickoff celebration to launch their fundraising efforts for the year. The committee will be recognizing the efforts of many teams from 2013 and highlighting what’s new for 2014. Although the Relay for Life of Wabash County is more than four months away, now is the time to get involved. One in every 100 Americans participates in this fundraising event that has become a global phenomenon. Residents are invited to attend the kickoff celebration to learn more about the upcoming event and how they can become part of an exciting overnight event that will pave the way to a world with less cancer and more birthdays. This year will see many changes, as the Relay for Life event has many new planning committee members. This year’s volunteer event chair, Cindy Maggart, commented, “We are real-
ly excited for 2014, with new committee members, and a great theme of ‘Farming For A Cure,’ we’re going to have fun!” Relay For Life participants and visitors have a chance to celebrate the victory of local cancer survivors during the Survivors Lap; remember those who are fighting cancer or those who have lost their battle to the disease during the L u m i n a r i a Ceremony; and participate in the Fight Back Ceremony, which gives everyone a chance to proclaim his or her own way of taking action against the disease. Donations can be made to this local Relay for Life event by v i s i t i n g Re l ay Fo r L i f e. o r g . Community members can also start or join a team by following the links to their local Relay event. The 2014 Relay For Life of Wabash County will take place Sept. 12 and 13, at Paradise Spring Park.

Nancy Hoffman recognized for work with Arc of Wabash County Nancy Hoffman the James M. Hammond III award on March 13 from the Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities (INARF). This award is presented to outstanding executives and administrators in the human services industry. Hoffman graduated from Manchester University. Her first job after graduation was at Arc of Wabash County. She has been employed at Arc for 38 years. Nancy has performed many different job duties while working at Arc, and through her dedication and expertise, she has demonstrated compassion and determination towards serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Positions she has held are: Daily Living Skills teacher, Workshop Manager, Case C o o r d i n a t o r, Program Director, and Executive Director. While working at Arc, Nancy also taught Special Education classes at M a n c h e s t e r University. She was able to provide her students with a clear picture of the challengers and rewards a Special Education teacher may face in this field by sharing real life experiences she has had with people she has served in Wabash County. Nancy has cultivated quality programs and services through her leader-
ship. Her commitment to excellence has been recognized by CARF for the services they provide with 3-year accreditations award in 1994, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012. As a CARF Surveyor herself, Nancy stays informed about CARF regulations and often brings back innovative ideas and practices she observes at other agencies. Under her guidance, management staff has implemented some of those ideas, improving how services are provided. Approximately 10 years ago, Nancy was made aware that several people who attended the day services program were soon to be homeless. The agency providing their residential care was closing in a very short period of time. At that time, Arc did not offer any type of home-based care. Nancy decided, with Board approval, that Arc would develop a residential program and offer services in the homes of these individuals. From finding and furnishing houses and apartments to assisting with all the little things that make a place a home, Hoffman ensured the program’s success. It took a lot of work in a short period of time, but Nancy helped make it happen. That program has expanded and Arc now provides services to 12 individuals who live in their own homes.
Nancy is an entrepreneur as well as a good steward of the agency’s funding. There have been a couple of years, because of reimbursement challenges, that tough decisions had to be made. Some of Arc’s programs were eliminated because Arc could no longer provide excellent service and cover their costs. Scrambling to keep the Sheltered Workshop program viable was and is a challenge. Nancy worked to find other sources of revenue that were not connected to a subcontract company or the government. Three major programs were developed: a mailing service, shredding services, and the newest program, a cardboard recycling service. Expanding the services offered through Arc’s Day S e r v i c e s Programming, Nancy authorized the start of an art program, and more than 20 people with disabilities wanted to participate. The art classes started in March and the year finalized with an art show at a local gallery. Nancy has supported the addition of an agency cat that, in her own way, provides services to those in need of a soft, purring friend. In the past, Nancy was involved in Wabash County’s Special Olympics, and for several years, helped athletes participate at the local, state and national level. She

has supported Arc’s participation in the Chili for Charity Cook-off and has been very proud of the many “Most Unusual Ingredient” wins. She claims that each year as a taste tester, she finds their chili to be the best, no matter what unusual ingredient it contains, even
shark meat. Many years ago, Nancy was instrumental in the creation of the Wabash County Local Rural Transportation Committee and continues to actively participate in both the local and regional Rural Transportation committees. Nancy was
also a key player in the creation of the Wabash County Nonprofit Alliance, which sponsored excellent local trainings to Wabash County. This committee effectively managed a grant that was used to offer trainings locally for a low cost to Wabash County companies
and individuals. Nancy is a member of the following organizations: Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, INARF, The Arc of Indiana, and of the United States, ICEArc, Elks and the North Central Indiana Society of Human Resource Managers.

Wabash Middle School students continue W.A.T.E.R fundraiser
by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com W.A.T.E.R. is derived from Wabash students cAre for The watEr in AfRica. This fundraiser was started by former Wabash Middle School 7th grade World History teacher, Justin Vail, and is being continued by the current teacher, Adam Hall. Hall assigned his students as essay focusing on the children in Africa. The idea behind the essay was not only to learn about the lives of African children but to also write an essay so convincing that anyone that read it would want to help those children. Included below are snippets from some of the students’ essays, submitted by Mr. Hall: “The homes are not very safe and most of the families are separated because of conflicts,” wrote Isabel France. “Most of the children are soldiers and orphans because of war and disease. If a child has a disease, then his or her parent will push them out on the streets because they don’t have the money to help their sick child. 55 percent of the people live on less than a dollar a day, so buying what they need can be difficult. Most of the children are orphans because of conflicts. They come home from their mission and their family has moved away, so the child has to sleep on the rough streets. A child may go into war at a very young age and by the time they come out of war they are older and don’t know what happened to their family. They estimated four million orphans are on the streets around the country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.” “The daily life in Kenya is a struggle, especially for the majority that live in ‘slums,’” wrote Hannah Halverson. “A slum is a village that is created by scraps that are casted away from another city. The capital of Kenya, Nairobi, consists of 3.5 million people. Two-thirds live if slums. Mathare is a slum valley located in Nairobi. It’s said to be the poorest slum in the world. In Mathare Valley, they
live off one to two dollars a day, which is mostly spent on rent for their 12x12, electrical-less, ramshackle house. The children living in slums have a small chance of ever being rescued, which means never knowing of or understanding a better life.” “The diseases in Mali are all deadly or are severe illnesses,” wrote Madisyn Deboard. “For most, there is no way of curing them. Some include; HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, malaria, cholera, and infant mortality. HIV/AIDS are from getting vacs, but from using the same needle on every person that gets one. These diseases are very deadly. Some symptoms of HIV/AIDS are flu-like illnesses, extreme weight loss/weight gain, and fever. Malnutrition is from
not eating and not getting the nutrients you need. Malnutrition can be deadly. Some symptoms are irritable mood, slower growth rates, weight loss/loss of appetite, and slow wound healing. Malaria is from being bit by the Anopheles Mosquito. Malaria is very deadly. Some symptoms are cold/hot flashes, high fever, and headache/muscle pain. Cholera is from drinking contaminated water and foods. Little parasites get into your body, go straight for the small intestine and make you sick. The main symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea. Cholera can be life threatening. The symptoms are the same as a regular flu, but this is a horrible case of them. Lastly, infant mortality, this is when a child dies under the age of one.
*According to www.our-africa.org * The child life in Mali is not this countries’ strong suit. The land is almost always flooded from the Niger River. The children mostly eat rice with contaminated waters. The child mortality rate is out of 1,000 children, 191 will die. The child nutrition is also not well, 29 percent of children are underweight, which can lead to child mortality. *According to www.our-africa.org.*” “In Ethiopia they have a shortage of staff and doctors,” wrote Chloe Stevens. “Over four-fifths of Ethiopians live in a rural area, where it can be a struggle to access health care facilities. The government aims to improve health workers in rural communities. Over 30,000 women have been trained to
Dawes competes in two-state all-star match
work in 15,000 health posts throughout the country. Women are an important part in Ethiopia’s development. The government relies on women so much because they are more than likely to remain in rural communities with their family. Female workers are given a year’s worth of medical training due to the fact that so many citizens are getting sick. Rural patients are referred to larger clinics, however options for treatment/surgery is limited due to shortage of staff. This affects Ethiopian children because they might not be getting the treatment they need, considering adults are treated before children.” With the students’ study of Africa coming to a close, they will be given a test over the African countries. This is where the fundraising comes in. “The students raised money by finding sponsors
that were willing to pay them a certain amount of money for each question that they get correct on a test,” Hall told The Paper. The seventh grade students were expected to identify 54 African countries, and sponsors set the rate they wish to donate. “If the sponsor offers 25 cents for each answer and the students gets 20 correct, then they earned $5,” added Hall. The students’ test
was Monday, March 17, but donations will continue to be accepted for their fundraiser. “With the support of Mr. Bumgardner and the middle school staff, I am just continuing what these students started years ago,” Hall told The Paper. If you would like to make a donation to the W.A.T.E.R. fundraiser, you can contact Adam Hall at halla@apaches.k12.in .us.

Alliance Church. In May of 2013, the Learn More Center was offered a $30,000 matching challenge grant by an anonymous donor, with two parts: $20,000 from current donors being matched dollar for dollar and $10,000 from new or reactivated donors matched dollar for dollar, both through Dec. 31, 2013.

administers the grant. The Learn More Center is honored to receive this grant, which will help raise support and awareness for the Learn More Center’s mission of adult basic education in Wabash County. “We are so grateful and appreciative to the community for helping us to reach our matching grant goal,” said Learn More Center Director of Education, Cynthia Johnson. “We truly could not do it without their support.” The Learn More Center was founded by the Community
Foundation of Wabash County and funded by the Lilly E n d o w m e n t Community Alliance to Promote Education (CAPE) Grant in order to provide educational services and a learning community to meet the instructional needs of adult learners in Wabash County related to workforce readiness, adult basic education and literacy. The center is nationally accredited by ProLiteracy and provides free, confidential adult literacy programs and services, including pre-high school equivalency

Wabash City Schools board meeting sheds light on bright future... continued from front page Director of T e c h n o l o g y Integration for MSD, Lavone Sparling, Chief Academic Officer for MSD, and Janelle McLaughlin, C u r r i c u l u m Coordinator for MCS, were on hand to present WISE, a collaborative effort to teach teachers how to integrate digital curriculum into their classrooms. WISE stands for Wabash Innovative Summit for Education. WISE is a collaborative professional development site for M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools, MSD of Wabash County, and Wabash City Schools, all of which have successful 1:1 initiatives in progress. These educators were awarded a $15,000 grant from the state to help fund their endeavor. On June 12 and 13, they will be holding a conference at Northfield High School with two keynote speakers coming to share their knowledge on the innovative learning. You can check out wabashwise.org to learn more about the conference and about how WISE will benefit the community and its students. The second program was given by another grant win-
ning group in the Wabash City Schools corporation. Abi Armentrout and Sarah Andrews gave a short presentation to the board about the Lilly Teacher Creativity Grant they received that will be sending them to Spain this summer to study Spanish history, culture and art, and bring their experiences back to their students. The final presentation came from Jan Williams, Youth Service Director from Huntington. Williams gave a presentation on Safe Place, which is a program that gives youth a safe place and quick support to kids in crisis. Safe Place presents at schools so that kids and teenagers know they have a place they can go to be safe. “If teens are on a violent date, we have a certain gas station, so she can suggest going to the station to get a coke, and she can go in. say ‘Hey I need a safe place,’ and they will take her in and call us,” explained Williams. Williams presented Safe Place to the WCS board with the possibility of starting a Safe Place program here in Wabash County. “We need the school buy in because if we
don’t have access to the kids, if they don’t know we’re out there, there’s no sense in starting the program,” continued Williams. “We are just exploring the possibility. We are thinking we could start with one corporation first, because the bulk of our kids are in the city of Huntington.

Vehicle strikes Wabash Donut Shoppe, at least one injured by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Just after 7 a.m. Friday morning, the Wabash Donut Shoppe got an unwelcomed surprise as Bruce Weatherspoon, 61, Marion, drove his black Chevrolet

Trailblazer into the business’ front wall injuring owner Andy Phat. “I just heard a loud bang and crash,” said Sam Phat, the owner’s son. “I thought that maybe the cooler fell down or something like that, because I heard glass. I saw my dad laying down on the ground, maybe 8 to 10 feet away from the wall. The trash can was knocked down in front of the showcase and I saw that the wall was broken down.” Sam said that just seconds before the accident, Andy had walked in front of the building and entered through the main door.
“He saved himself from death by five seconds,” said Sam. “If he had been standing in that spot where he walked across the front, where the car hit the wall and came inside…that wall saved his life.” Weatherspoon told police that he was pulling into the Donut Shoppe when he attempted to apply his brakes and park. He said he heard the engine accelerate and the vehicle would not stop, which resulted in the vehicle colliding with the west wall of the building. Andy, who has owned the business for 28 years, was on the other side of the wall. “He was standing

right at the window,” said Sam. “The booths and chairs and tables came flying right at him. He got knocked down and hit his head on the ground, and he hit is leg and hip pretty bad on the right side. It’s all swollen right now, but they said there’s no broken bones or anything like that.” Andy said that he had a few words with Mr. Weatherspoon through the closed front door, but was unable to go outside to talk to him, as the collision had jammed the door shut. Roger Davis, owner of Competitive Construction, is a contractor for the Wabash Donut Shoppe, currently working on construction of the business’ Warsaw location. He drove by the Wabash location just after the accident and saw the police cars. “I turned around and came back when I
realized what had happened,” said Davis. “It was quite shocking to see. It did some pretty serious damage. It mainly just hit the wall. The structure up top is still good.” After bracing the roof and clearing debris, Roger and his crew had a new wall up by the end of the day. “Bad start to the morning,” said Sam. “I walk by there all the time. I see cars pull up and I never once thought a car was actually going to jump up over the curb and run me over, you know? I do it all the time. My family has owned the business for 28 years, so I did it as a little kid and everything.” Though the lobby was closed for the remainder of the day, business continued as people ordered at the drive-thru window, both in vehicles and on foot.
JUST AFTER 7 A.M., a large SUV drove through the front wall of the Wabash Donut Shoppe, injuring owner Andy Phat. (photo provided)

North Manchester offering options to help those in poverty Dear Editor, On Feb. 22, over 60 individuals participated in an Open Table Presentation to explore ways to help those in the North Manchester community living in poverty. This outpouring of interest and caring was inspiring. The Open Table Model discussed in our first meeting, offers our community one option to help those living in poverty, but we want to discuss other options as well. We value community input and have scheduled another meeting in the Blocher Community Room at the North Manchester Public Library, for these discussions. In order to give everyone an opportu-
nity to participate in this discussion, we are having this meeting on two different days. The first meeting will be Monday evening, March 24 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. and the second one will be Saturday morning, March 29 from 9 - 10:30 a.m.. These meetings are open to the public and everyone is welcome, whether or not you were able to attend the Feb. 22 meeting. For additional information, please contact: Mark Eastway at 260-9827537 or Cynthia Johnson at 260-9826138 Gary Montel Development Officer Learn More Center

Five charged during Methamphetamine bust in Liberty Mills... continued from page 25 Street, was the driver and that her young juvenile was also in the vehicle. Officers were initially unable to locate the vehicle in question, but upon arriving in Liberty Mills, WCSD Deputy Matt Cox was flagged down by a citizen concerned about the strong chemical odor coming from the residence and the possi-
bility that they were “cooking” methamphetamine inside. Another citizen also approached Deputy Cox’s vehicle to express concern regarding the strong chemical odor coming from the garage area of the residence. Deputy Cox called for assistance, and Sgt. Jon Pace and Officer David Rigney, both of NMPD, were
the first to arrive. After confirming the strong chemical odor, which through training and experience the officers believed to be associated with the manufacturing of methamphetamine, the officers then attempted to make contact at the front door. While receiving consent to search, dispatch advised the offi-

cers that a neighbor had reported witnessing at least two males exit the rear of the residence and take off on foot. At that time, officers from WCSD and NMPD, along with an Indiana Conservation Officer, attempted to locate the fleeing suspects; as a result, Chad Jackson, Kyle Davidson, and Keri Jackson were eventually apprehended and taken into custody. As the officers awaited confirmation of a search warrant, they asked the occupants – Jamie Hall and her children, and Cassie Staton – to exit the house due to the possibly dangerous and explosive nature of what officers believed was contained either in the residence or in the garage. For safety reasons, once the known occupants had exited, officers conducted a
protective sweep of the residence, which was to ensure the residence did not contain any immediate threat to officers on scene or innocent citizens in the immediate area. During the protective sweep, officers noted observing, in plain sight, several items associated with the manufacture and/or use of methamphetamine. When officers from the Drug Task Force arrived, a complete search of the residence was conducted and evidence was collected associated with the manufacture of methamphetamine. Officers also collected controlled substances, paraphernalia, and hypodermic needles. As a result of the search, Hall and Staton were also taken into custody. In addition to the items commonly used to
manufacture and/or ingest methamphetamine, officers also discovered a metal safe containing documents belonging to Harvey Callahan, which had been reported stolen from a residence at 11 N. Mallard Lane, in Sandy Beach, earlier that day; the keys that opened the safe were located on Staton’s keychain in her purse after she gave officers consent to search it. Multiple units, including Officer Birch of the North Manchester Police Department and his K-9 unit named Hawk, pursued Chad Jackson, Keri Jackson, and Kyle Davidson. The pursuit led police along the Eel River and through several properties, including that of Ernie Bradley. Keri Jackson was arrested behind Bradley’s residence. Chad Jackson
and Kyle Davidson were arrested nearby after being discovered in the cab of a pickup truck. During the pursuit, two large Newfoundland dogs were shot by Officer Birch on the Bradley property. Officer Bradley stated that the dogs began to attack Hawk, his K-9 Unit, and he had to take them down to protect Hawk. Mr. Bradley contends that his dogs were not aggressive and a warning shot should have been fired. One of the two dogs was killed. The other was taken to Manchester Veterinary Clinic and treated for a gunshot wound to the head. All five suspects were taken to the Wabash County Jail. For more on Mr. Bradley and his dogs, look for a follow-up article in next week’s edition of The Paper.
