Family dogs shot as officers chase drug offenders by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On the afternoon of Monday, March 10th, officers from the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department and the North Manchester Police Department investigated citizen reports of a methamphetamine lab at a residence in Liberty Mills. According to court records, the resident ultimately consented to a search of the location, which confirmed the officers’ suspicions, but not before three individuals fled through a back door. North Manchester Police Officer Nate Birch and his K-9 partner, Hawk, were called to assist other law enforcement personnel in locating the three individuals. The suspects led officers along the banks of the Eel River toward the Herbert L. Taylor Audubon Preserve. The chase resulted in the arrest of all three individuals. It also resulted in the shooting of two family pets, Newfoundland dogs belonging to Ernie and Janice Bradley. In his report, Officer Birch stated that he put a tracking harness and 15-foot leash on K-9 Hawk to begin the track. Shortly thereafter, he met up with North Manchester Police Sergeant Jon Pace. K9 Hawk tracked footprints north toward the Eel River then followed them back out toward a nearby field, where they tracked along the river and through the Herbert L. Taylor Audubon Preserve. Sgt. Pace stated in his report that they tracked the subjects through the woods to a nature preserve trail, but he was unable to keep up with the K-9 and Officer Birch at that time, falling as much as 100 yards behind the pair. The chase continued into southern Kosciusko County. During this time, Indiana Conservation Officer Jon Engle appre-

Officer Birch saw Officer Engle with a female in custody near the entrance. He also saw two dogs pass by Officer Engle and continue toward him and K-9 Hawk. One of the dogs was

black, the other was light brown, and both were very large. In his account of the incident that followed, Officer Birch reported that he reeled Hawk in so that the K-9 was directly next to his left leg and then turned to his left to keep the dogs separated from

Hawk. He yelled at the two dogs to get back, but they kept coming. According to Officer Birch, the light brown dog reached Hawk first, jumped on his back, and bit Hawk just above the hindquarters. The black dog began to (continued on page 5)

After losing 275 pounds, local man thanks trainer on The Steve Harvey Show

JOSH STEELE AND HIS MOTHER, MINDY, surpised personal trainer Jakae Francis on The Steve Harvey Show after Francis helped them loses a combined 355 pounds. The episode airs Wednesday, March 26. (photo provided)

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Personal trainer Jakae Francis, owner of Wabash’s F.I.T. Personal Training, got the surprise of a lifetime when it was revealed that two of her most successful clients set her up for an appearance on The Steve Harvey Show. “It was just so unbelievable,” said Francis. “It’s still so surreal that this even happened. I feel like I had tunnel vision. I don’t remember a lot of what I said or what Josh said to me.” Josh Steele was the mastermind behind the surprise. A client for the past year and a half, he shed nearly half his body weight after deciding to get serious about losing weight two years ago. “My starting weight was 579 pounds,”

said Steele. “Basically, to sum it all up, I hated life. Just getting up in the morning, just doing normal activities that normal people take for granted like tying shoes, going up and down stairs, getting in vehicles. That kind of stuff, it was all a struggle for me every single day. I basically gave up all hopes of my dreams and passion for the future.” Inspired by weight loss shows on television, Steele tried out for Biggest Loser and nearly made it onto Extreme Weight Loss, but ultimately came up short. Two years ago this week, Steele decided he wasn’t going to let it stop him, that he was going to make big changes whether he was on television or not. After six months of dietary changes and religious (continued on page 10)

provision for loan losses and stated that a significant portion of the provision was due to a loss on a commercial credit in which Crossroads Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of FFW Corporation, was a participating lender and not the lead loan servicer. The loan was secured by a life insurance policy, whose value was dissipated through fraudulent actions of the borrower. The loan was completely written off by the Bank during fiscal 2012, but the Bank pursued recovery efforts with respect to the loan. On March 21, 2014, the Bank received a $2.6 million recovery on this commercial credit and recorded a loan charge-off recovery of $2.6 million. This payment satisfies the borrower’s obligation on this loan. The increase in net income, after taxes, for the third quarter of the Corporation’s fiscal year (over the other operating results for the quarter which are not yet available) resulting from this recovery is expected to be $1.9 million, or $1.71 per share.

Are you career fair ready? by Shannon Niedzwicki Career fairs are a great way to bring recruiters and potential employees together in one place, with the potential of making great employment matches. Employers love the convenience. By setting up a table at a career fair, employers have the opportunity to interact with many potential employees, linking faces with names, talking with them about specific job opportunities and showing off their organizations. Sure beats looking through a couple hundred résumés! It’s the job hunter that has the hard task. Most of us go through career fairs like we would college fairs: we browse in and out, maybe pop our head over other people to see what’s being offered, and if we are really interested, pick up some literature and a giveaway trinket. But career fairs are changing, and career fair-goers have to change too. Career fairs can be a job hunter’s dream, if you do it the right way. The success of a career fair for the potential employee lies in communication and preparation. Follow these tips to be “career-fair ready”: 1. Dress the part! I put this as the first one because I feel it is most important. First impressions are the only impression that employers are going to remember, especially in situations where they are talking to a number of potential employees in a condensed timeframe. 2. Do your research.

Do you know which companies will be at the career fair you are attending? Find out the employer list and do your research. Look up the company, who they are, what they do, why you may want to work there. The value of this will be evident when you find yourself networking with representatives of the companies you found interesting. Your research should spark some questions to ask. Added bonus! 3. Update your résumé. You should have at least 20 copies of your résumé to give out to potential employers. This is very important when job hunting and will set you apart from the crowd. Remember to keep it to one page, put it on résumé paper and carry the copies in a manila folder to keep them crisp and clean. If you follow these simple tips, you can confidently stroll through your career fair experience. Employers are coming to career fairs to find the best-of-thebest employees. Don’t take this opportunity for granted. Think of it as an actual interview. And you can put these tips to good use Tuesday, Oct. 22, at the Annual Fall Career Fair at Ivy Tech’s Logansport campus. The fair is set for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and more than 30 employers, including nonprofit and higher education recruiters, have registered to participate. For more information on the career fair, contact me a t sniedziwicki@ivytech .edu.

Family dog shot as officers chase drug offenders...continued from front page

ERNIE BRADLEY AND HIS GRANDSON pose with McAfee (left) and Kramer (right). Both dogs were shot by police during a recent foot pursuit resulting from a drug bust in Liberty Mills. (photo provided) attack Hawk around his face, striking him with paws and snapping his mouth at him. He said that at that point, all of the dogs were growling at each other in an aggressive manner. Officer Birch reported that he was still rotating to his left to get the dogs apart when he called for help from Officer Engle. The black dog was still striking and scratching at Hawk’s face; during several rotations in an attempt to pull Hawk away from the other two dogs, they continued to engage the K-9. At that point, that Officer Birch reported that he drew his firearm and shot the black dog directly in front of him to protect Hawk and himself. The light brown dog backed off about five feet, and before he could take any other action, the dog charged again in an aggressive manner. Officer Birch then shot the light brown dog. Both dogs were shot in the head. The light brown dog laid down for a short time before getting back up and running into a field. The black dog remained motionless on the ground. Janice Bradley arrived home shortly thereafter to find a conservation officer’s vehicle in her driveway. She went inside to ask her husband, Ernie, what was going on. He had just woken up and the two walked outside to find the officer. Ernie asked Officer Engle what was going on and was informed of the ongoing chase resulting from the drug bust, and that he was arresting one of the individuals. Immediately, Ernie asked where his dogs were. According to Bradley, Officer Engle informed Ernie that

the dogs ran by him as he was arresting Staton, but that they were just being dogs, and they didn’t bother him. “He said, ‘I heard two shots. I hope they did not kill your dogs, sir,’” said Bradley. After radioing dispatch to advise that he had to put down two dogs that had attacked Hawk, Officer Birch was told by Sgt. Pace to hold his position. Sgt. Pace caught up to Officer Birch and K-9 Hawk. Officer Birch reported that they heard a man and woman calling for two dogs, prompting the officers to approach the Bradley residence. “Mr. Bradley said that he was looking for his dogs,” Officer Birch wrote in his report. “I asked Mr. Bradley if they were a large light brown and darker dog. I informed Mr. Bradley that I had to shoot his dogs to protect my K-9 Hawk and myself.” “He said, ‘Well, we were tracking these people and I told your dogs, ‘police, halt,’ they did not halt and I took them down,” said Janice. “He didn’t offer to show where

they were at, didn’t offer to help bring the dogs up.” “He said, ‘If anything comes near my dog, I’ll shoot it,’” said Ernie. Mr. Bradley became very upset, and Sgt. Pace told Officer Birch to go ahead to the road while he talked with the Bradleys. Dispatch informed Officer Birch that a sheriff ’s deputy found fresh footprints. Deputy Steve Hicks picked up Officer Birch, K-9 Hawk, and North Manchester Police Officer David Rigney, who was still at the scene of the drug bust. The team immediately headed to the location of the fresh footprints and started tracking. Hawk led the officers to a brown pickup truck near a grey barn where the remaining two individuals, later identified as Chad Jackson and Kyle Davidson, were located and arrested. During this time, Mr. Bradley contacted the Kosciusko County Sheriff ’s Department and asked to have a state police officer dispatched to investi-

gate the shooting of his dogs. Following the arrest of Jackson and Davidson, Indiana State Police Trooper Tim Carpenter arrived on the scene and took taped statements from officers Birch and Pace. Ernie and Janice located their dogs and discovered that the oldest dog, Kramer, was dead, but that their 8-month-old, McAfee, was still alive. They transported Mc, as they call him, to the M a n c h e s t e r Veterinary Clinic where he was treated by Dr. Jeffrey Pyle. “The bullet impacted him on the top of the head to the inside of the left eye,” said Pyle. “The bullet passed through his left eye and went directly down through his face and skull…and exited through the throat area.” The bullet destroyed Mc’s left eye and did extensive damage to his throat area. Pyle is not sure how he survived. “I call him my miracle boy, because there are a lot of important things that bullet missed by, literally, millimeters,” said Pyle. “It still did a lot of damage. Don’t get me wrong.” Pyle said Mc was shot at near pointblank range. He

THE SOUTHWOOD HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA DEPARTMENT will be performing Back to the 80s, written by Neil Gooding with the original musical adaption made by Scott Copeman. Here is a synopsis of the show: Join the seniors of William Ocean High School as they live through their final year of high school remembered and seen through the eyes of graduate Corey

Palmer, now in his 30s. Watch the memories unfold as Corey’s younger self tries to win the affections of his nextdoor neighbor, Tiffany Houston, who is too busy crushing on Michael Feldman, the most popular guy in school. Meanwhile, poor Eileen Reagan, the new girl, just wants to fit in, and resident nerd Feargal Bobby McFerrin III is busy perfecting both his karate and computer skills. Follow them, and many others, as they experience the fun, the heartbreak, the love and loss of growing up in the most radical decade ever. All while belting out the biggest hits of the 80’s!

Family dog shot as officers chase drug offenders...continued from page 5 ging,” said Pyle. Mr. Bradley later contacted the North Manchester Town Council in an attempt to have Officer Birch’s badge and gun taken away until the investigation concluded. North Manchester Town Marshall Jeffrey Perry would not comment on whether any action was taken as a result. Bradley is also seeking financial compensation to cover his loss. “I’m going to have extensive medical bills and he’s never going to be the same,” said Bradley. In addition to medical bills, replacing Kramer could be expensive. After serving his purpose for more than five years, breeders Len and Stephanie Zeglicz gave Kramer to the Bradleys after Bradleys paid to have him neutered. Zegliczs said they wanted him to go someplace where he could be spoiled for the rest of his life, which was likely a few years, as Newfoundlands have a short life expectancy. “He was the best dog I ever had,” said Bradley. “I loved him so much, I wanted a n o t h e r Newfoundland.” Bradley contacted Zegliczs and bought McAfee, a top specimen, for $1,400. Bradley hopes to replace his beloved dog, which could cost as much. “They’re coming on his property, and you look at the injury, he didn’t try to injure him, he tried to kill him,” said Stephanie. “It’s not like, ‘oh, I see him coming, I’m going to shoot him in the leg and injure him.’ Both shots were head shots.”

“The big thing I guess I really want to stress is, I just don’t want this to happen to anybody else ever again,” said Bradley. “This whole thing was just screwed up, and it put everybody in this community in harm’s way, because of the way they went about it. It should have been coordinated a lot better. Sloppy police work is what it comes down to. They should never have been out running through the woods. It ended up with one dead dog and the other one severely wounded.” Bradley contends that the three suspects should never have been able to escape out the back door, and that some kind of perimeter should have been set up around the Liberty Mills residence. As the incident started with citizen reports in the area, a search warrant was not obtained before police spoke with the resident, Jamie Hall. It is unclear whether officers knew how many people were inside the residence at the time. Bradley is also suspicious of the alleged attack of K-9 Hawk by his dogs. “I saw their dog. There wasn’t any marks on his dog,” said Bradley. “My dogs were shot just because they’re big. T h e y ’ r e Newfoundlands. Their nickname is ‘gentle giants.’ They’re big teddy bears. Of course, if a big dog comes toward you, you don’t know if it’s a teddy bear or not, I guess. But, my dogs were shot at home, this is where they lived, and I’m very upset.” Bradley lives on more than ten acres of land just across the

Kosciusko County line, adjacent to the Audubon Preserve. The dogs were, in fact, taken down on Audubon Preserve property. Bradley said that his dogs were shot 10 to 20 feet from his property line, and that as a caretaker for the Audubon, he mows the area in which they were shot, so “that was basically home too.” Dr. Pyle, also a Newfoundland owner, agrees that Newfoundlands are not typically aggressive dogs, and that they are less territorial than most dogs. “They’re normally a gentle dog, not particularly aggressive,” he said. “Now if you back them into a corner or put him in a situation where someone was threatening one of our family members, he’d take care of business. If you have a lot of shouting, yelling, excitement, you don’t know what they would do. They’re a dog. And this is not Newfoundlands. This is all dogs.” He also said that Mc was particularly docile, calling him a sweetheart and noting that he never made any mean or aggressive move when coming into contact with dozens of people during his stay at the clinic. Several times, Pyle let him walk through the kennel area and he would walk up to each kennel, put his nose to the cage and wag his tail, wanting to play with the other dogs. “I wasn’t there when it happened and neither was Mr. Bradley,” said Dr. Pyle. “One thing about Newfoundland dogs is, they’re a large dog, and a large dog just by its size is intimidating to most

people. Two of them coming at you, it would be intimidating even if they were coming to be friendly. And we don’t know how the officer’s dog was reacting to the two other dogs.” K-9 Hawk would have been about half the size of the Newfoundlands and could have easily been overtaken by the two. Though the North Manchester Police Department would not comment on where Hawk was treated for his injuries, Town Manager Dan Hannaford confirmed that the K-9 unit’s medical care is handled by East State Veterinary Clinic in Fort Wayne, but did not know details about the injuries. He did note that any injuries sustained were likely not serious, as Hawk was able to continue tracking the other two suspects after the attack. “He is back in service,” said Town Marshall Perry. “Any injuries, I’m not going to talk about.” When asked why he wouldn’t share the details of Hawk’s injuries, he said that they have been informed of a possible lawsuit coming and that he was not making any state-

ments. The same was true when asked about Officer Birch’s continued duty. “I have no further comments on it,” said Perry. East State Veterinary Clinic confirmed that Hawk was seen by a veterinarian, but could not

release any details without permission from the dog’s owner, in this case, Town Marshall Perry. Mc is scheduled to have his sutures removed this week. Bradley said that he hasn’t been quite as lively as he was before the incident. Bradley

thinks it’s less about the injury and more because he misses his best friend, Kramer. Bradley is awaiting a response from the Town Council and plans to pursue legal action if he is not compensated for his loss.

trips to the gym, Francis took an interest in him and decided to take him on as a free client, something she had done once before. “Josh had lost 100 pounds before he even came to me, so I had seen the commitment in him before taking

him on,” said Francis. “He was on the right track. Basically what I gave was, I taught him what he was capable of doing that he didn’t realize he was. My job is to take people out of their comfort zone.” Along with Jakae’s training, Josh had

support through a Facebook page he set up called “The Steele Project.” This allowed people from across the country to track his weight loss and watch a real person with real responsibilities succeed in losing an enormous amount of weight. Today,

Steele is down to 304 pounds. He’s still a few pounds off his target weight of 280, but is now able to do everything he used to, even fitting into many of the same clothes he wore in high school, more than a decade ago. “I’m 6’9”, so I’m

tition, teaching a stayat-home mom something new that they could do without equipment or a gym membership. The winner of the competition would receive a prize. “I’m thinking, oh my gosh, I cancelled clients, I have so many people that know I’m coming up here, I’ve gotta win this prize!” said Francis. She said that they had her convinced, but she was still a little suspicious, because she couldn’t figure out why a nationally broadcasted talk show would choose a personal trainer from the small town of Wabash. “She was texting me the day before like, ‘If you have anything to do with this, I’m gonna kill you,’” said Steele. “She was freaking out because she didn’t have a clue what they were going to talk about.” Nonetheless, she took the stage for her individual interview with Harvey, and the true reason for her appearance was quickly revealed. “Steve made a light joke, because he’s very funny,” said Francis, “and after I answered a few questions and talked for, it was very short, maybe three or four minutes, and he turned to me and said,

never going to be 190 pounds or whatever,” said Steele. “I do basically everything now that I did in high school, and actually, I’m in better shape now than I was then. I really have no limits to what I can do now.” After taking people out of their comfort zone during workouts, Francis was taken out of her own comfort zone when she was asked to appear on national television as a guest on Steve Harvey’s daytime talk show. The producers told her that they discovered her through her business’ Facebook page, F.I.T. Personal Training. They told her that she would be one of four personal trainers featured on a fitness-themed episode. Each of the trainers would be interviewed individually and then engage in some sort of personal training compe-

‘Well Jakae, you’re actually not on the show to talk about your job or your passion,’ and instantly, I started crying.” Harvey went on to tell her that there were two people that wanted to thank her for something that she had done for them. She looked around the audience searching for her clients, and onto the stage walked Josh and his mother Mindy, who has lost 80 pounds while training with Francis and her son. She knew it would be Josh and Mindy as soon as Harvey revealed that it was, in fact, a thank you show and not a training competition. “I think I was so shocked and so overwhelmed at what was happening that basically, when they were sitting there, all I did was cry,” said Francis. She doesn’t remember much of what she said after the reveal, but she’s looking forward to the broadcast, which she will be viewing with Josh and Mindy at Harvey Hinklemeyers on Wednesday. Steele is still working on trimming a few more pounds, but two related endeavors are equally as important to him right now. This week, he will take the American College of Sports Medicine test to become certified as a personal trainer. He hopes to extend the opportunity that Francis gave him to client of his own by offering free personal training to a selected individual. In addition, he is working with Francis to train a local 13-year-old who hopes to follow in his footsteps. “That’s why I put my story out there so publicly,” said Steele. “I don’t if you’ve watched The Biggest (continued on page 12)

I’m the normal person that has worked 50-60 hours a week and still found the time to work out. So that’s why I put my story out there. I want to let people know that anybody can do it. You just have to believe in

yourself.” In Francis’s mind, she should be the one thanking Steele. “Josh, in training him, his story has brought me so much, and I didn’t ever intend for that to be the case,” said Francis. “His story has helped me and my business so much that I owe him more than he has ever thought he owed me. Every time I turn around, he’s thanking me, and

I’m all the time telling him, ‘Josh, we’re even. You have done so much for me.’” To watch the big reveal and catch the reactions as they are broadcasted across the country, tune in to NBC tomorrow afternoon. The Steve Harvey Show airs at 2 p.m. on Fort Wayne’s WISE-TV. For more information about Josh, check out The Steele Project on Facebook.

the highest-selling female artists in country music history, is a New York Times bestselling author and hosts her own cooking show on the Food Network. In 2008, the singer-turned-celebrity cook released “Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen,” followed by 2010’s “Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood.” The success of both books led to Yearwood’s 2012 debut on the Food Network with “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” which won a 2013 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Culinary Program and is currently in its fourth season. Although she is now a Food Network star, Yearwood will focus only on her singing talents during her Wabash show, as she performs a full band concert of her

top hits during the 18city U.S. tour. “I really have a special place in my heart for theaters and intimate shows,” Yearwood said in a recent People magazine article. Because Yearwood isn’t going to be promoting any new material, fans should expect to hear her core hit songs, a few fun ones that are unexpected, and some interesting covers, according to the article. “I can’t say what they are!” she teased, “but we’re just having fun, so we’re picking songs we know we’ll have a good time with.” Tickets may be purchased at the box office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, by calling 260563-1102 or visiting www.honeywellcenter.org.

No. 1 record in 1962 (“Roses Are Red”) through 1972, Vinton had more No. 1 hits than any other solo male artist, according to Billboard. In addition to his string of love songs, including “Blue Velvet,” “Mr. Lonely” and “My Melody of Love,” Vinton starred in “The Bobby Vinton Variety Show,” which aired in more than 140 cities throughout the United States and Canada, authored his best-selling autobiography, “The Polish

Prince,” and acted in a number of films, including “Big Jake” and “The Train Robbers” with John Wayne.

Moon Over Buffalo a hit for Wabash Area Community Theater By Emily Armentrout Wabash Area Community Theater just finished its production of Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo. Moon Over Buffalo is a comedy set in 1953 Buffalo, New York, at the Erlanger Theater. Moon Over Buffalo marked Carol Burnett’s return to Broadway after 30 years according to Ludwig. Traveling actors, George and Charlotte Hay, played by Gary Dale and Candy Russell, are currently putting on dual performances of Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac, with a small group of actors. George and Charlotte find themselves drifting as George’s infidelity with Eileen, a young actress in the troupe, portrayed by Megan Smith, is brought to light and Charlotte receives an offer to run away with family friend and lawyer, Richard, played by Keith Martin. George and Charlotte’s daughter Rosalind, played by Mandy Shull, has also returned to the chaos, with big news. She wishes to announce her engagement to weatherman, Howard, played by Ware Wimberly, but Howard is nervous to meet her famous folks. Chaos ensues as Rosalind searches for her scatterbrained parents. Eric Seaman also joins the cast as Paul, fellow actor, stage manager and Rosalind’s ex love interest, with Cindy Rich as Charlotte’s hard of hearing, George hating mother, Ethel. Upon the announcement that Eileen is with child and Charlotte is leaving him, George drinks himself into a silly stupor , which adds to the hysterics of the production. Movie bigwig Frank Capra offers the Hays one last shot at fame after two of his actors bow out of the remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Capra is to visit the Erlanger Theatre in hopes of casting George and Charlotte. George, in his drunkenness, causes all sorts of chaos including changing the production schedule, which causes confusion among the actors, and he and Paul lock Howard, Rosalind’s fiancé in a closet after a huge misunderstanding. As actors say “the show must go on,” which it did, both

shows, while most of the group went into their rendition of Private Lives and drunken George appears in full costume, abnormally large nose and all, as Cyrano. After falling off the stage, and hav-

ing the audience in stitches, the troupe reenters the dressing room where Howard leaves Rosalind for Eileen, after running into each other after many years, Paul sweeps Rosalind off her feet, and Charlotte

and George manage to work out their differences. The stars of this WACT production had the audience laughing within minutes of opening curtain and the laughs did not end until the final curtain.

Dale’s drunken George was hysterical and very realistic. The entire cast brought a great comedy to life for the community of Wabash. “It was great, we enjoyed it,” said Dr. Bing Fowler. “Lots of laughs, great humor,” added Fowler. This Wabash Area Community Theater production was produced by Beth Miller, long time member of WACT. “I’ve been with it for 18 years. I started with the second show,” Miller told The Paper. Moon Over Buffalo is currently Miller’s favorite production because it’s the one she’s been working on at the moment. “There is always another show coming to look forward to, but it’s always the one you are working on that is your favorite,” added Miller. WACT is having a season of productions instead of its usual

solo showcase. “We wanted to get a straight play in, a comedy. We had so many that wanted to perform and be a part of the group but really were not interested in doing musicals. So we added that. We have done a summer radio type show before and we wanted to add that back in. We’ve been doing

Christmas shows for the last few years. We do the madrigal every other year, and we’ve added the Charley Creek one on opposite years,” Miller told The Paper. You can check out the Wabash Area Community Theater Facebook page about upcoming auditions and events.

Historical Society to present Prime Suspects to perform for double birthday celebration at Harry’s Old Kettle Saloon program on girls’ sports at Manchester High School L o n g - t i m e Manchester High School teacher and coach Jim Myer will present a program on girls’ sports at Manchester High School as part of the North Manchester Historical Society’s monthly lecture series. The program will take place at 6:40 p.m. on Monday, April 14, in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest Senior Living Community, 2201 East Street. The program will focus primarily on girls’ basketball, which Myer coached for nine years. He also coached girls’ golf for 20 years, with shorter stretches as coach for football and boys’ and girls’ tennis. A few questions that will be answered

are: What is the most number of points scored by two teams in one game? What is the most number of 3point shots in one game? What is the MHS’s winning percentage against county teams? Against conference teams? Who holds the record for the most number of points scored in one game by an individual? Myer retired from MHS in 2013, where he taught chemistry and physics for 46 years. He was inducted into the Manchester Jr./Sr. High Athletic Hall of Fame this February. Besides his coaching duties, Myer served for 30 years as a helper for the MHS Cross Country Invitational and the Basketball Scorebook,

and he spent 40 years manning the football clock. The public is also invited to come to the Assembly Room at 6 p.m. for a meal prior to the program. For those who wish to attend the dinner, reservations must be made no later than noon on Friday, April 11.

so that’s pretty cool,” said Leach. “The Kettle,” as it is known by most, has seen a revival since ownership shifted into the hands of Harry and Judy Kilmer. Along with new drink specials, food items, and HD televisions displaying the day’s best sporting matchups, the couple is bringing live music to the mix. Prime Suspects is a four piece band featuring Richard Leach, Wabash, on rhythm guitar, along with Doug Huston on

drums, Jerry Lents on bass, and Willis Yancey on lead guitar, all Hartford City residents. All four band members were playing their instruments before they graduated high school; Yancey began plucking guitars at age 8 and is a “human encyclopedia of music,” according to Leach. In 1999, Leach heard about a band in Hartford City looking for a guitarist. Since then, the band has opened for world famous acts such as Foghat and Canned

Heat, but mostly plays small venues, like Harry’s Old Kettle Saloon. “We’re a bar and club band, a rock and roll right in your face type of band,” said Leach. The band will take the stage at 8 p.m. on Saturday with their classic rock covers of everything from Jimi Hendrix and Jethro Tull to the Beatles and Billy Idol. For more on the band and the birthday bash, look for coverage of the show in next week’s edition of The Paper.

Tri-City Dart League to hold benefit The Tri-City Dart League is holding its second annual Linda Foote Memorial Steel Tip Dart Tournament on Saturday, March 29 at Elks Lodge #365, located at 122 N. Broadway, Peru. The proceeds from this event will be

donated to Deb Ross, who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 Follicular Lymphoma. The bar will be open to the public at 2 p.m., with food being served from 4-7 p.m. There will be raffles, split pot, tip boards,

and triple out. The first tournament will be men and women singles, with registration starting at 4 p.m. and the tournament beginning at 5 p.m. The second tournament will begin at 8 p.m. with registration at 7 p.m.

and it will be a luckof-the-draw, blind draw tournament. The format for both tournaments is double elimination, 501/Cricket/Choice. If you have questions or would like more information, contact John Renn at 260-377-9875.

Of course that day never comes, but the tennis lover, smitten by the sport, keeps coming back, just in case. Just in life as on a tennis court we go on impulse or intuition…creating at the moment. That’s part of the attraction to life and tennis. I play for the love of the game. I think about having fun and what a pleasure playing tennis is. We should view life that way.” AS ALWAYS, DO ME A FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week! PLEASE EMAIL YOUR NEWS AND INFORMATION TO: isaac.triplett@yahoo.c om, or call me at 260274-2261.

Public opinion sought on Eel River recovery Just consider the possibilities! That’s the message the Middle Eel River Watershed Initiative has to the community about the future of the stream as it flows through downtown North Manchester. Today, the riverbanks are eroded and a dumping ground for trash – a barrier to habitat and an eyesore along the Community Trail Network. A $17,000 federally funded feasibility study that will address protecting, stabilizing and restoring the banks of the downtown stretch of the Eel River needs advice and opinion from the community, said Terri Michaelis, coordinator of the Initiative. At a March 27 meeting, the public will

learn about the study that is a first step in gathering input and support for restoring the Eel River stream

bank through downtown North M a n c h e s t e r. Following the study, the Initiative will pur-

sue additional funding from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Lake and River

Allison Yocum and Andrew Myers wed Jan. 4 M A R T Y HOSTETLER TO CELEBRATE 90TH BIRTHDAY: Anyone that knows Marty is invited to celebrate her birthday at the Moose Lodge on April 6 from 2-5 p.m. Refreshments will be served. (photo provided)

Cardno JFNew, an Indiana-based ecological consulting and restoration firm, will do the study, Michaelis said. “The firm has the experience, resources and technical expertise to evaluate the site and determine an appropriate, sustainable, successful solution for the deteriorated stream bank in North Manchester.” The steering committee is planning three public meetings on the project. The committee is comprised of representatives from the Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District, North Manchester Chamber of Commerce, North Manchester Town Council, North Manchester Parks &

Enhancement Program, as well as the community and other partners. “There are many possibilities for this project and its potential to positively impact the town of North Manchester,” Michaelis said. “We hope the community will join us at this public meeting to learn about these possibilities and share their thoughts and ideas with us.” The public meeting is set for 6:30—8 p.m. on Thursday, March 27 in the Blocher Room of the North Manchester Public Library. The study will focus on the Eel River stretch from the Market Street Bridge east 500 feet to behind the parking area near the American Legion. The river runs along the alley behind Main Street businesses that borders the Community Trail Network. The project would: •Restore and stabilize the stream bank to reduce erosion •Identify potential for improved wildlife habitat •Eliminate dumping of waste •Raise awareness for preserving the stream bank •Involve the local community in the project design

THE PAPER 24 Superintendent Ritz visits Manchester High School, discusses literacy www.thepaperofwabash.com

by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com Superintendent of Public Instruction for Indiana, Glenda Ritz not only advocates that everyone reads, but is an avid reader herself, even keeping up with the popular young adult books students across the state immediately recognize. Ritz addressed all the students at Manchester Jr./Sr. High School last Friday, encouraging students to read anything and everything while promoting the “Hoosier Family of Readers” initiative. Ritz explained how reading helps not only your vocabulary and comprehension, but also improves your chances in the job market, especially when paired with a decent level of math. “I visited a Toyota plant down south, and I wanted to know how young people graduating from 12th grade could go into Vincennes University

March 26, 2014

and actually become an intern with the Toyota company with the manufacturing of cars,” Ritz said. “We’re talking about assembling cars; they don’t assemble cars like they did a long time ago. They actually use robotics. People who work with Toyota now, who earn a very good salary, have to have a pretty vast knowledge of reading. “They have to be able to read very detailed technical manuals, they have to be able to problemsolve, and they have to have some pretty robust science and mathematics skills.” Ritz then asked the Toyota plant what they would require of an intern for their company. “They said they would only choose students from one program,” Ritz said. “Project Lead the Way. It’s a program in which kids have the opportunity to solve real-life problems using their mathe((( %

matics and science and engineering skills that they’ve acquired and they’re working on to be able to be really good at that. That’s the only kids they would consider!” Ritz said. Ritz then asked the company how many students they had, and they said about 100. Ritz became excited, thinking Toyota took in 100 interns. “Then they said no, they only took 20,” Ritz said. “So then I asked, ‘Well, why did you only take 20?’ and they said it was because they needed an SAT score of 450. That’s average to get into college.” “Being literate, and being able to write and communicate is really important to you,” Ritz said to a silent crowd, “and it’s up to you to do it.” Ritz explained that reading for just 20 minutes a day five times a week significantly increases reading levels and comprehension.

SUPERINTENDENT GLENDA RITZ spoke with Manchester Jr./Sr. High School students about the importance of literacy and a well-rounded education, whether it’s for a career or just overall enjoyment of life. (photo by Kalie Ammons) speech to the whole school, Ritz was able to speak with the school’s top readers and answer questions. The students were curious about who and what Ritz herself was reading. “Well I love John Green,” said Ritz. “And I enjoy Suzanne Collins. I can read anything though, from a heavy non-fiction to a wild science fiction, I’ll read them all.” The students and

Ritz then discussed upcoming movies and adaptations of books that will or have premiered. “I’m dragging my husband to go see The Divergent this weekend,” Ritz joked. The Hoosier Family of Readers was started a year ago, right as Ritz took office. Ritz explained the process of developing an effective program. “Number one, we knew we couldn’t make kids read at

home,” Ritz said. “Number two, we couldn’t make families read with their children at home. Since we couldn’t do those two things, we did what we considered to be the next best thing; we actually empowered 263 organizations statewide who work with children on reading. All the Boys and Girls Clubs in the state of Indiana said yes, all the YMCA camps said yes. We

had all these organizations making sure reading was happening last summer.” The National Guard has also stepped in to help with this initiative, visiting students up to third grade to read with them. “Literacy will take you to do whatever you want to in life,” Ritz said. “If you are a good reader, communicator, and mathematician, you have your doors wide open.”

Wabash County United Fund announces $10,000 donation The Wabash County United Fund announces the distribution of $10,000 to local Wabash County non-profit organizations. The funds are the result of an ongoing partnership between the United Fund and Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity. Ten charities received a check for $1,000 to help support their operating budgets. The list of organizations selected by the Chili for Charity committee to receive these checks includes: 85 Hope, Best of the Best, Honeywell Center Education Outreach, Paradise Springs, Special Olympics, The

Access, Wabash FAME, Wabash County Historical Museum, Wabash C o u n t y Transit/Living Well in Wabash County, and Wabash River Defenders “Each of these organizations truly deserve this additional financial support”, said Steve Johnson, executive director for the United Fund. “The United Fund invests in programs that improve the quality of life in Wabash County, and these organizations fit right in to this mission”, Johnson continued. The Chili for Charity planning committee considers the

United Fund’s focus of health and wellness, education and financial stability and improvement when selecting recipients of the United Fund/Chili for Charity Partnership awards. “We are very proud to work with Chili for Charity to support these programs and organizations,” stated Emily GueninHodson, president of the United Fund Board of Directors.

The October 2013 Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity event generated $42,000, including the United Fund Partnership match, for the list of local charities. Wabash County United Fund is governed by an all-volunteer board of directors. Funds raised by the activities of the United Fund support local social service programming. For more information
