by Danielle Smith On March 15, Jake Bunnell, son of Barry and Teresa Bunnell, began his day like any other 17 year-old Southwood Jr./Sr. High School student. At lunchtime, however, Bunnell left school in order to arrive at the Embassy Theatre, Fort Wayne, in time for a 2:30 p.m. sound check with blues rock guitarist and singer, Joe Bonamassa. You may have heard Bunnell and his band, Small Town, if you attended any festivals, benefits or fundraisers in the Wabash area in the past two years. Small Town consists of Jake as well as his brother, Wayne Bunnell, 19, bass guitar and backup vocals; McKayla Hogge, 18, vocals; Ryan Arwood, 17, keyboard; and Ian Kaehr,

24, drums. Bunnell grew up in a musically inclined family and has taken guitar lessons since the age of 10. “Wayne, Ryan and I have been playing together since we were 12 or 13,” Bunnell said. “We’ve played together forever.” Bunnell recently began taking guitar lessons at Sweetwater, Fort Wayne, from Kenny Taylor. At his second lesson, Taylor suggested that Bunnell participate in the 2011 Young Guns guitar competition, sponsored by Sweetwater and Rock 104. All participants would receive a tshirt, the top five participants would receive $100 gift cards to Sweetwater and the winner would receive (continued on page 7)

by Danielle Smith Ira Dean, former bass guitarist and songwriter for the group Trick Pony, made downtown Wabash the setting for his new music video. The song, “Something About a Sunday”, tells the story of a man waking up to church bells on a Sunday morning and feeling as though he can change his life. According to Dean’s official website, he moved to Nashville, Tenn., at the age of 20 in order to follow his dream of playing music. Just before he was going to give up and return home, he met John Carter Cash,

who offered him a place to stay. Trick Pony was formed in 2000 and the trio was named American Music Awards’ Top New Artist and Country Music Association’s Artist of the Year. Dean eventually left Trick Pony and is now working solo. He has written songs recorded by Joe Nichols, Chris Young, Heidi Newfield, Gary Allen and Montgomery Gentry, among others. Dean’s first trip to Wabash was three years ago when he and Aaron Barker were part of the Honeywell Center’s

E d u c a t i o n a l Outreach Program. He was impressed with our architecture and vowed to make a music video here. “I fell in love with the town,” Dean said. “I love towns that haven’t changed. If you took all of the cars off the street, its like 1940s or 50s.” Dean, along with his girlfriend, Brooke Burrows, and his director, Marcel, spent approximately 20 hours shooting video in various locations on March 15. Scenes were shot in Wabash Christian Church at the corner of Hill

and Miami streets and in a third floor room of the Eagle’s Theater. One scene depicts Dean in a pitch-black room, playing a Stineway piano covered in candles. Police even blocked traffic on Market Street in the late hours of March 14 to shoot a scene of Dean leaving the Charley Creek Inn and entering Eagle’s Theater. The final scene of the music video will be shot in the auditorium area of the theater. The video is set to release to CMT and JMC on June 13.

Volunteer Week April 10-16

Individuals and organizations can seize the moment and share in honoring Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteers this spring. National Volunteer Week runs April 10-16 and celebrates the millions of people who dedicate themselves to taking action that helps better their communities. The week also provides opportunities to inspire, recognize and encourage people to seek out and engage in activities that can effect positive social change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everywhere you look, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a story about ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things through volunteer service, including blood donation,â&#x20AC;? said Sharyn Whitman, CEO for the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cause for celebration.â&#x20AC;? National Volunteer Week was established by President Richard Nixon in 1974, and continues to grow in scope through the support of all subsequent U.S. Presidents and other elected officials. At the American Red Cross, volunteers constitute 96 percent of the total work force needed to carry out the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humanitarian mission. Around 155,000 volunteers assist Red Cross staff in collecting 40 percent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood supply from about 4 million volunteer blood donors. In addition, more than a half million people per year deliver Red Cross services in areas such as disaster relief, health and safety training, and support to military members and their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteers show all of us that you can make a difference in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world,â&#x20AC;? Whitman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We invite you to join the millions of people who help save the day by donating blood or giving of your time and talents through the American Red Cross.â&#x20AC;? An American Red Cross blood drive will be held April 15, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., in the Activity Center at First United Methodist Church, located at 110 N. Cass St., Wabash.

The Indiana Natural Resources Commission (NRC) recently approved a new policy to manage firewood use at state properties and also set in motion a proposal to make it a permanent rule. The two-step approach will allow the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to implement the change this year while the proposed permanent measure works its way through the normal nine- to 12-month rulemaking process that will include a public comment period. The intent of both steps is to protect resources on state properties against the spread of emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, Asian longhorned beetle and other pests and pathogens that can be transported in firewood. Effective immediately, visitors will be allowed to bring firewood to DNR properties only under certain circumstances. Bundled firewood must have a U.S. Department of Agriculture or Indiana state certification compliance stamp, be purchased from an on-site concessionaire or the DNR property, or be kiln-dried construction lumber. An exception allows visitors to bring uncertified firewood so long as the bark is removed before entering the DNR property. In other actions, the NRC: - Approved state nature preserve designation for two sites at Harmonie State Park in southwest Indiana. Wabash Border Nature Preserve is a 254.62-acre tract on the north side of the park, and Harmonie Hills Nature Preserve is a 334.79-acre tract in the southern portion. Both sites have high-quality forests and are home to state-endangered plant or fish species. - Adopted a preliminary rule to allow horse tag use on designated properties to be year round rather than the current April through November time frame. - Repealed a non-rule policy regarding disposition of permanently injured, non-releasable animals taken in by licensed wildlife rehabilitators due to previous NRC approval of administrative rule changes governing the same topic. - Approved the appointment of Lynda Ellington as assistant property manager at Shakamak State Park. The NRCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next meeting is May 17 at Pokagon State Park.

The agency is recognized as Beauchamp McSpadden in Wabash and Warsaw, and as Morrison Galliher in Muncie. “Ease of doing business was critical to our success with West Bend,” said David George, vice president. “The underwriters, systems to quote business, and the relationships that have developed with West Bend’s staff certainly made for an easy transition, which correlated into business on the books.” Mike Shippen, West Bend’s director of sales in Indiana, said, “The agency has embraced West Bend and is aggres-

The award was presented to Michael Beauchamp, agency president, by Kevin Steiner, West Bend president and chief operating officer. While Beauchamp McSpadden was appointed by West Bend in late 2009, its roots go back to the Civil War’s Reconstruction Era. The agency was founded by James Ross in 1872, then purchased by Ward Beauchamp in 1927. In the 1930s it merged with another agency operated by Tom McSpadden. Today, Beauchamp McSpadden is licensed in 49 states

Promising local musician performs....

continued from front page an Epiphone Les Paul guitar, a guitar autographed by Joe Bonamassa and the opportunity to perform onstage with Bonamassa at the Embassy Theatre. “He gave me the backing track and information so I said ‘Ok, fine, we’ll give it a shot’. I was just thinking I would go and do it and it would be a good experience and I would get a t-shirt,” Bunnell said. The contest was held March 5 at S w e e t w a t e r Auditorium. It was open to guitarists under age 17, and each of the 32 contestants played with the same two-minute backing track. Performances were judged on creativity, proficiency at the instrument and stage presence. “I really didn’t spend any time working on anything until the night before. I went through and plotted out a lot of what I wanted to do, but

when I got up there I probably only did 10 percent of what I actually planned,” Bunnell said. Bunnell made it to the top five, winning the $100 gift card to Sweetwater, and was given a second opportunity to play against the same track. “I wasn’t actually expecting to win at all, I was just tickled to death to be in the top five. The second time I got up there I just played. I was the only one who changed it up. Everyone else did basically the same thing and I got up there and did something completely different,” Bunnell said. Bunnell was the announced as the winner. The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Beauty guitar he received from Sweetwater carries a retail value of $1,300 and the Bonamassa autographed guitar will hang on his wall, but the real

prize was the opportunity to perform with Bonamassa. “I really don’t think a lot of people in the States know him [Bonamassa]. He’s more popular over in Britain and the European countries. People ask him if he’s a prodigy and he says he’s 10 percent talent and 90 percent hard work, so I thought that was really cool,” Bunnell said. Bunnell was given two songs to work on in the week between the contest and performance. On March 15, he attended sound check at the Embassy Theatre at 2:30 p.m. “I slapped my little amp on stage and it was funny because he has a huge setup, but it worked out,” Bunnell said. Bunnell was placed in a dressing room next to Bonamassa’s and had several opportunities throughout the day to speak with him. “He was really,

from the start, just a genuinely nice guy, the whole band was. The main highlight was the performance, but also meeting with the guys because they are good connections to make along the way,” Bunnell said. The Embassy seats 2.477 and only approximately 100 seats were left empty. “On a rainy Tuesday night that guy can pack them in there in Fort Wayne, he’s pretty well known up there,” Bunnell said. “I had been nervous the whole week beforehand but I got up onstage and they just made me feel like one of their own.” Bunnell and Bonamassa performed “Further on up the Road”. Bonamassa prefaced the song by telling the audience that the last time the song was performed with Eric Clapton at Royal Albert Hall, London, England. When asked to compare this per-

environmental food software program. The program the Health Department is currently using will not be compatible with their new server. Wabash County Clerk Elaine Martin was granted permission to add a link on the County website, www.wabashcounty.i n.gov, to www.indianavoters.com. At this site, voters can see who is on the ballot for elected positions in their area, register to vote and confirm voter registration. These features will be available at the end of March. Martin was also granted permission to attend the state-mandated annual clerk’s conference, June 7-9, in Michigan City. One or two deputies will accompany her to the conference. Martin then presented a request to promote one of her clerk’s deputies to First Deputy. The Clerk’s Office currently has one First Deputy, but according to state statute they

are permitted to have two because Wabash County has two courts, Circuit and Superior. This would result in a pay increase for the promoted individual. Martin must present this request at the meeting of the Wabash County Council for approval. The commissioners consented for her to move on to this step. County Coordinator Jim Dils was granted permission to continue hiring a lawn service to mow the hill south of

the Courthouse and Judicial Center at a cost of $65 per instance. Dils reported that the most reasonable bid for the remodeling project in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room, located on the second floor of the Courthouse, was Kroft Construction’s bid of $59,600. The bid was accepted. The Moonlight Garden Club requested permission to donate a tree for the lawn of the

Courthouse in honor of Earth Day on April 22. The commissioners granted the request. T h e Commissioners signed an interlocal agreement to approve the collection of solid waste recycling user fees and granted an appointment request for Dawn Reed to replace Tim McLaughlin for the remainder of his term with the Convention and Visitors Bureau Commission.

World-renowned bassoonist to be guest Greer thanks community for of Manchester Symphony Orchestra

M a n c h e s t e r Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce the appearance of Dr Arnold Archai as the guest bassoonist for the April 3 concert. The Orchestra will perform at Ford Theater at the Honeywell Center at 3 p.m. Doors will open at 2:20 p.m., with pre-concert conversations to begin at 2:30 p.m. Themed, Movie Magic and Moscow, will be under the direction of Scott Humphries. Arnold Irchai was born into a musical family. His father worked at the Kirov Opera and Ballet Theater as a violinist for more than 40 years. His mother was a prominent piano teacher. Dr. Irchai began studying bassoon at the Leningrad Music School for Gifted Children and

continued his studies at the State Leningrad Conservatory, USSR. At the Conservatory he received his masters and doctoral degrees. Throughout his career, he has gained extensive performance and teaching experience. From 1974 to 1990, he was principal bassoonist of the M o s c o w Philharmonic Orchestra under such world-renowned conductors as Kirrill Kondrashin and Dmitry Kitaenko. Dr. Irchai taught bassoon at the Gnessins Music Pedagogical Institute in Moscow, Russia. Among his awards are the first prizes in the All-Russia Music Competition for Woodwind Quintets and the Distinguished Artist of the Russian Federation Award. He has toured Europe,

Asia and the Americas with the M o s c o w Philharmonic Orchestra and other world-class orchestras. As a soloist and chamber musician, Dr. Irchai has performed recitals throughout the United States and the world for many years. Recent solo performances include appearances at Lincoln Center, N.Y.; Kennedy Center, Washington D.C.; the Lyceum, Alexandria, Va.; the F.

Buckeye Insurance Group is pleased to present Wabash Insurance with the prestigious Ambassador Award for 2011.

Wabash Insurance is located in Wabash and has been considered a “preferred agency” by Buckeye Insurance Group for four years. “Agencies such as Wabash Insurance partner with Buckeye Insurance Group because they share a similar business ethic,” says R. Douglas Haines, president and CEO. Agencies representing Buckeye products put their customers first, serving them with integrity and honesty while offering a dependable and affordable insurance plan.

media. His performances elicited admiring comments that “Irchai was impressive not only for flexibility of his performance which audiences have come to expect, but also for his tone quality - sweet but not cloying, with an even focused vibrato in the lyrical passages and deep tones that resonated with warmth” and “bassoon at its best” in the Washington Post. Mount Vernon Gazette rightly praised Irchai as “a master of his instrument” having “singing tone and superb technique.” Until recently, Dr. Irchai was a member of the faculty at both the Washington Conservatory of Music in Washington, D.C. and Columbia Union College in Takoma Park, Md. He was also the principal bassoon of the N a t i o n a l Philharmonic,

Washington, D.C.; the principal bassoon of Arlington Symphony, Arlington, Va.; and Prince William Symphony, Manassas, Va. Currently, Dr. Irchai is associate professor of bassoon at the University of Florida, School of Music, and the principal bassoon of the Ocala Symphony Orchestra, and the Gainesville Chamber Orchestra. He is also a faculty member of the Summit Music F e s t i v a l , Manhattanville College, Purchase, N.Y., International Academy of Music, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Italy, and St. Petersburg, Russia, as well as of the Burgos International Music Festival, Spain, and member of DT Duo.

internship through Student Painters. Allen will manage the first branch of the company in the Kokomo, Peru and Wabash area. Student Painters was founded in 1987 in response to a shortage of summer jobs for college students. It offers excellent training and support for businessminded college students who are looking to succeed early in life. For Allen, early success means meeting his goal of $60,000 in business ventures this summer. To do so, he puts in 25-hour weekends in addition to his col-

hard work and fun. Like me, they want the customer to be completely satisfied with the work that is performed. The project is not complete until the homeowner gives approval with the final signature.” Along with quality exterior painting, Student Painting offers power washing, $1 million liability insurance, full workers’ compensation, one-year guarantee on all work and 100 percent satisfaction. Local residents with exterior painting needs may reach Dustin Allen at 765-244-1575 or allen89@purdue.edu.

COMMUNITY-it’s more than a sitcom “Share each other’s burdens and in this way obey the law of Christ.” —Galations 6:2 I saw a bumper sticker once that said, “God loves you, but I’m his favorite”. It made me laugh, but also reminded me that God isn’t like us. He doesn’t play favorites but cares for each of us equally. In turn he wants us to do the same: care for each other equally. This week at AYC, along with the rest of the world, we have watched and discussed the tragedy that continues to unfold in Japan. The question continues to be: What can we do? How could we, here in Wabash, possibly make a difference in the lives of those involved? We continue to pray for them, but should we be doing more? Yes. We cannot forget the importance of action.

North Manchester Public Library seeks new director

The North Manchester Public Library (NMPL) Board of Trustees is beginning the search for a new library director. The current director, Theresa Tyner, has accepted a library position in Noblesville. Theresa Tyner joined the library in January 2007, taking the position vacated by long-time library director, Davonne Rogers. Tyner arrived in time to help plan the centennial celebration of the library, which took place in 2008. She was instrumental in introducing new book formats to the collections, including Playaways – digital audio books in a convenient self-contained media player – and downloadable audio books. Tyner also wrote a grant to make ADA-accessible the inside doors of the Blocher Community Room of the library. Tyner’s new position will be the Technical Services Department

Head of the Hamilton East Public Library system, and she will be located in the Noblesville Public Library. “I will miss the close community and beauty of the town of North Manchester, the friends I have made here, as well as the vast variety of tasks and challenges associated with the director position. The lure of being closer to family and friends who live in central Indiana was the deciding factor in the

decision to move to this new position,” Tyner said. Her last day at NMPL will be April 2. The NMPL Board of Trustees has begun the search for a new director through an advertisement placed in professional library job posting websites for Indiana and surrounding states. The advertisement for the position also may be accessed on the library’s website at www.nman.lib.in.us/di rectorposition.html

Our mission statement at AYC is: Christ Centered, Youth Driven, Community Minded-but not just our local community. In the upcoming weeks we will be partnering with our local American Red Cross to raise money for Community disaster victims — both here and around the world. While the details are still to come, I want to encourage both youth and adults alike to step up and get involved in this effort. Half of all proceeds raised will go directly to the relief effort in Japan; the other half will be put in a fund to help local disaster victims. If you, your youth group, team,

school or business would like to be involved please contact the American Red Cross at 260-563-2658, or AYC at 260-563-2070

p.m.) thru April 23. Sponsored by the IHS and the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, the exhibition focuses on identifying and caring for such common 19th century photographic processes and formats as the daguerreotype, tintype, ambrotype, cabinet card and carte de visite. Examples of these formats have been drawn from the collections of the Society and George Eastman House. Joan Hostetler, a historic photograph consultant, served as the exhibit’s guest curator. “Although there is an established profession dedicated to conserving photographs, much of the research does not trickle down to the average person with cherished family photographs,” said Hostetler. “The goal of this exhibit is to bridge the gap by relaying information to the public on identifying, dating and caring for their photographs.” The first photographic process to have mass popularity

in the United States was the daguerreotype, which was perfected by Frenchman Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre in the late 1830s. The ambrotype, seen as a cheaper alternative to the dauguerreotype, became the most popular portrait process in the 1850s. Tintypes, also known as ferrotypes, reached their greatest popularity in America and were made from 1856 well into the 20th century. The first three popular American processes – daguerreotypes, ambrotypes and tintypes – were housed in book-like, hinged cases and were one-ofa-kind images.

Small cartes de visite (photographs mounted on card stock) became a rage in the 1860s and 1870s as people filled their photograph albums with portraits of friends, family and celebrities. Larger size cabinet photographs were made from the 1870s through the turn of the century. By 1890, photography moved from commercial portrait studios to the public as snapshot photography became possible due to plastic-based film and small, handheld cameras.

Rural Tipton man arrested in death of four-year-old boy

On March 14, a joint criminal investigation led by the Tipton County S h e r i f f ’ s Department resulted in the arrest of James W. Rice, 30, rural Tipton.

Officers from the Indiana State Police and Tipton County S h e r i f f ’ s Department took Rice into custody without incident at his mother’s home in Elwood. Rice was served with a Tipton Circuit Court arrest warrant alleging a class A felony count for battery causing death and a class C felony charge for reckless homicide. He is being held without bond in the Tipton County Jail. On Nov. 26, 2010, at approximately 9:30 a.m., Dylan Cast, 4,

rural Tipton, was transported by ambulance from a rural Tipton home to the Tipton Hospital emergency room, with severe internal injuries. Cast was pronounced dead at the hospital from internal injuries and a severed spine. The investigation revealed that Cast had been in the care of Rice while his mother was at work. Rice, who was the boyfriend of Cast’s mother, allegedly had no plausible explanation for the boys’ injuries.

Area law enforcement officers attend family violence training

Fifty-seven area law enforcement officers were trained in victim safety and batterer accountability during

a training workshop held March 16, at the REMC conference center, Wabash. “Who strikes first

A WEALTH OF TAX EXPERTISE. Wabash • N Manchester, IN 563-4605 Phone: 982-4535 • Mon-Fri 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Sat 9:00 am to 6:00 pm

¶If you discover an H&R Block error on your return that entitles you to a smaller tax liability, we’ll refund the tax prep fee for that return. Refund claims must be made during the calendar year in which the return was prepared.

doesn’t equate to the arrest,” said Fort Wayne Deputy Police Chief Dottie Davis. She also stressed that: “Who is afraid of who,” should be a key part of an investigation where it is not immediately clear who the predominant aggressor might be. “Understanding and Responding to Family Violence,” was the title of the free workshop provided by the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence in coordination with Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service Society, Inc. The training objectives Davis covered included educating

participants about predominant aggressor, the right to self-defense and mutual combat, identifying best practices in responding to family violence calls for service and identifying the many crimes associated with family violence and the elements of the crime. Davis, a 29-year police veteran is a national speaker about domestic violence who has trained thousands of law enforcement officers, prosecutors, advocates and judges throughout the nation. During training, Davis emphasized the importance of an officer taking time to separate the victim and

batterer to find out what led up to the act of violence. For instance, Davis said, if the victim attempted to remove herself from the violence and the abuser followed her throughout the house continuing to berate her and threaten violence, the victim has the right to defend herself. It is also important to remember to talk to the children, Davis said. She told about a situation where it appeared the woman had struck her husband in the head and was the aggressor, until the small child in the room stated that dad struck himself in the head with a

statue once he realized police had been called because he said he was not going to go back to jail. The family had recently moved to Fort Wayne from another community so there were no records of prior domestic violence. “You are such an intricate part of domestic violence – victim safety and perpetrator accountability,” Davis said It is critical that criminal justice communities have a standard operating procedure on how each domestic violence case is investigated and processed throughout the system, she added. No

matter whom the batterer is – every batterer in Fort Wayne sits in jail on a no bond hold until an initial hearing takes place. Davis also discussed best practice in documenting the crime from the 911 call through the entire incident. Officers from Wabash City Police, North Manchester Police, Wabash County Sheriff ’s D e p a r t m e n t , LaFontaine, Peru Police, Grant County Sheriff ’s Department and staff from the Wabash Prosecutor’s Office, Miami County Prosecutor’s Office and Hands of Hope were in attendance.

Powell family thankful of support Dear editor, You can never truly understand or appreciate what living in a small community is like until you’re faced with adversity. Recently our family suffered a devastating house fire in which we lost all our earthly possession. In the two weeks after the fire, we’re still in shock and awe at the way the community responded. While we were busy and even still fighting the fire, the Roann community

had already responded with clothes for our family, food and support. And for that, we can’t thank everyone enough. On Saturday, March 12, the community showed even more support with a benefit in our honor. And as before, we’re still amazed with the turnout. Over 450 showed up at the Roann Church of the Brethren for the dinner/raffle/silent auction, and to each one, we’re appreciative. While we can’t

thank each contributor individually, we’re extremely thankful for the Musselman family, Roann Church of the Brethren’s Outreach Committee, Pam Woodall for all her contributions, Richard and Ashley Arney, Bill and Donna Powell and family, Kathy Garretson, Liston Creek Gospel Band, Max Meyer and family, Austin Carrothers and family, the youth of the church, Dan Lee and family, Bre Echelbarger, Jamie Adkins, Sheila

Rhoades and the Wabash Plain Dealer, Shaun Tilgman and the paper of Wabash County, Wade Weaver and 105.9 The Bash , Andy McCord and MiTunes 101.9, CAT Excavating, Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity, Morris Farms, Lee and Nancy Powell, the Mow-Wheelin’ Racing League family, Lee and Donna Myers, Tim Siscoe, Todd Vigar, the American Red Cross, Bill Watson and school bus No. 35, Roann, Noble and Urbana Volunteer

Fire Departments, the Hensley and Harmon family and of course all of our friends and the new ones we made along the way. We’d also like to extend a special ‘Thank You” to Aaron Turner and family for organizing the benefit within hours of the fire. This is why we’re so proud to live in Roann and call it home. We couldn’t think of any place else we’d rather be. Matt, Cindy, Madisyn and Kassidy Powell

Three probationary troopers report for duty

NEW STATE POLICE OFFICERS: The Indiana State Police recently graduated 43 probationary troopers from the 70th Indiana State Police Recruit Academy. Pictured are probationary troopers from the Peru Post: (from left) Weston Shanks, Michael Biggs, and Caleb Clark. (photo provided) Probationary Troopers Caleb Clark, Michael Biggs, and Weston Shanks recently reported to the Indiana State Police Peru Post for their first official day.

They were members of the 70th Indiana State Police Recruit Academy, which graduated 43 probationary troopers on March 4. During the 24-week academy, recruits received approximately 840 hours of structured law enforcement training. Their curriculum included 80 hours of criminal law instruction, 50 hours of vehicle operations training, 30 hours of psychology, and 40 hours of “Survival Spanish.” They also developed skills in criminal investigation, vehicle crash investigation, and impaired driver detection. Probationary Trooper Caleb Clark is a native of North Manchester and a 2005 graduate of Manchester High School. He has a bachelor’s degree in law and society from Purdue University.

Probationary Trooper Michael Biggs is a native of Richmond and a 2004 graduate of Centerville High School. He has a bachelor’s degree in political science from The Citadel. Probationary Trooper Weston Shanks is a Gas City native and a 2004 graduate of Mississinewa High School. He has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Ball State University. All three will start 14 weeks of field training with experienced troopers. The program allows them to put the skills and knowledge gained in the academy setting to work in the field. Upon successful completion of the fieldtraining program, they will receive their own patrol cars and begin solo road patrol responsibilities.

for the buffet from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; reservations are not necessary. More than 40 Manchester College students are far from their homelands, and scores more students at the northern Indiana school have close family ties and friends abroad. International faculty and staff members add to the campus cultural mix, as well as study abroad opportunities. Gisele Youth, a sophomore from Cameroon in Central Africa, will try Mexican cooking by helping make empanadas meat pies and horchata beverages. “Preparing for the International Buffet is a mind-blowing

experience because we have students from all over the globe bonding over cooking experiences, telling each other folktales about the different countries that are being represented and, above all, learning from each other,” said Youth, who is majoring in biology-chemistry.
