Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Community Foundation names five Lilly Scholarship finalists Wabash County limited to one nominee by new program requirements by Shaun Tilghman The Community Foundation of Wabash County recently announced the five county high school seniors who were selected as finalists for the 2011 Lilly E n d o w m e n t C o m m u n i t y Scholarship. Lilly Endowment, Inc. has awarded fulltuition scholarships to students from each county in Indiana for the past 13 years. Entering its 14th year, the program has assisted 3,345 Indiana graduates – 29 from Wabash County – in pursuing baccalaureate degrees at any four-year college or university in the state. Independent Colleges of Indiana (ICI) oversees the statewide administration of the Lilly E n d o w m e n t C o m m u n i t y Scholarship Program. According to the ICI website, the scholarships are awarded through and administered by the network of community foundations throughout the state. Due to increasing educational costs – by next year the average cost of tuition and fees for four years of study is expected to be more than double what it was when the program began – Lilly Endowment, Inc. has opted to change its community scholarship program. Beginning with the 2011 class, the number of nominees each participating county can submit will be based on modified population requirements. Wabash County falls into the 1-50,000 population category, thus limiting it to one nominee. “Basically what

Lilly did was restructure their program so that each county’s population now determines how many Lilly Scholars they are able to have,” said Sarah Hawkins Moan, program officer for the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County. “We used to be able to give two each year, but now we are able to give just one. We’re still very grateful for the one we are able to give because it definitely helps out that student. According to Moan, the change did not affect the number of applications they received this year when compared with previous years. “I still hope that kids are encouraged to apply for the Lilly Scholarship even though there is just one offered, because it is still an amazing opportunity,” she added. “The process is still the same but the biggest change is that we used to have six finalists whereas now we just have five. “I would say the decision becomes a little more difficult though because all of the candidates that applied have something really special about them, but our five finalists are exceptional. It’s very hard to determine which one will be the recipient because each of them is so talented and bright.” According to the C o m m u n i t y Foundation’s website, all finalists exemplify

excellence in academics, leadership, school spirit, and community service, and are looking to expand their education in a variety of fields including nursing, education, business, and aeronautical engineering. This year’s finalists for Wabash County include: Haleigh Mann and Neil Miller, both of Wabash High School; Joshua Unger, Northfield High School; Katie U n d e r w o o d , Manchester High School; and Shiloh Wilson, Southwood High School. Mann Haleigh Mann has been involved with National Honor Society, Wabash County Honors Choir & Band, Wabash High School Symphonic Voices, Indiana AllState Honor Choir, Wabash County

Summer Theatre, school band, drama club, academic spell bowl, academic super bowl, marching band, SADD Club, pep band, Wabash community band, percussion ensemble, and winterguard. She is also captain of the softball team, and participated in track and intramural volleyball. Mann has been a member of Crossroads Bank Junior Board of Directors for two years, serving as the vice president for one year; Key Club for four years, serving as secretary for one year; and was a member of Student Council for three years, serving as class treasurer for one year and class president for two years. She has spent time volunteering with different organizations

and also worked at McDonald’s and Taco Bell, both in Wabash. Her favorite CORE subject in high school was English because it coincides with her creative nature, but her favorite classes overall were her music classes. She plans to attend Manchester College and major in music education. Her father, Adam Mann, is a production worker at the paper mill in Wabash and has always been supportive. She lives with her grandmother, Judy Driscoll, who she says has been a great role model and a positive influence. Mann believes the Lilly Scholarship is an amazing opportunity. “I’ve worked hard during school so I decided to take the chance, because something like this

only comes around once in a lifetime,” she added. “It’s an honor to be a finalist. I was very shocked and excited when I got the call – I’m really glad they felt I could represent them well.” Miller Neil Miller has been involved with speech team, academic super bowl, academic spell bowl, Peers Educating Peers, SADD Club, school band, tap dancing, hip-hop dance, school plays, musical theatre. He was a four-year letter winner in football, and also participated in baseball and golf. Miller has been a member of Key Club for two years, serving as a board member for one year, and National Honor Society for three years, serving (continued on page 6)

Commissioners proclaim March 13-19 as Severe Weather Preparedness Week

by Danielle Smith The Wabash County Commissioners held their weekly meeting March 14. At that meeting, EMA and Central Dispatch Director Bob Brown presented literature regarding Severe Weather Preparedness Week, proclaimed by Indiana State Governor Mitch Daniels to be March 13-19. The commissioners signed a similar proclamation. The National Weather Service, in conjunction with the Indiana State Police and Public Safety Commission, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Department of Education, Indiana Broadcaster’s Association, Red Cross and Amateur Radio Operators, will conduct a statewide test of communication systems on March 16 between 10:15 and 10:30 a.m. and between 7:30 and 7:45 p.m., weather permitting. Brown encourages Wabash residents to sign up for the CodeRED Weather Warning. Those that sign up will receive by phone severe thunderstorm, tornado and flash flood warnings at the same time that the National Weather Service activates the EAS network. To sign up, go to www.ema.wabashcounty85.us and click on the CodeRED icon. Those without internet access may call the Wabash County Emergency Management Agency office at 260-563-3181 or toll free 1-866-288-3881. Brown also presented information to the commissioners regarding yearly contracts for repair and maintenance of the five county generators. He stated that they were displeased with the current contract, which was $1,000. He obtained quotes from two other (continued on page 6)

2 Long-time ACRES’ members make largest cash gift to ACRES Land Trust www.thepaperofwabash.com

ACRES’ Land Trust Board and Staff are pleased to announce that a local couple, long-time ACRES’ members, have made a $500,000 gift to ACRES for land acquisition. This is the largest cash gift in ACRES’ 51-year history and also the largest cash gift the donors have made to an organization. In announcing the gift, the donors, who choose to remain anonymous, acknowledge their love for ACRES and its mission: preserving land in its natural state in northeast Indiana for future generations. “We were doing our estate planning and decided we wanted to support ACRES during our lifetime while also leaving a legacy

that will continue to support the organization and protect land for future generations.” The donation establishes a revolving pool of funds for ACRES, which expands ACRES’ flexibility in acquiring land. A revolving fund allows ACRES to take advantage of land that becomes available and purchase it swiftly, either immediately or at auction; then the fund can be replenished by fund drives for the new property, leaving the principal intact. The donors stated: “It is clear the public sector has fallen behind in setting aside open space for recreation purposes for our citizenry. We hope our gift increas-

es the acreage ACRES can protect by providing a revolving pool of funds. We are delighted to make such a meaningful gift to ACRES and hope that others will follow suit. We have enjoyed helping ACRES purchase land for several decades.” Jason Kissel, Executive Director of ACRES, called it “an amazing gift that gives ACRES a new land-acquisition tool we otherwise would not have had.” ACRES is Indiana’s oldest and largest land trust. ACRES currently owns 4,800 acres providing 78 nature preserves for hiking and recreation free to ACRES’ members and the general public daily from dawn

(Access Youth Center)

Sound Byte By Liz Hicks, Director

Cheese Buffs…..

We stopped having Thursdays at the Youth Center a little over a year ago; that day of the week is now referred to by those at The Access as Grilled Cheese Thursday. It has become part of our after school schedule, a weekly routine, a habit for us every fourth day of the school week from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. But it hasn’t always been that way, let me explain: In the beginning it was very “hit and miss” sometimes the staff would remember, sometimes we wouldn’t; most of the time the youth attending had no idea they would be getting a grilled cheese along with their snacks. Let me assure you if we were to skip this Access tradition even once now, it would not go unnoticed! Habits are a big part of life, some are good, others are not; but all take time to form into a routine. This year for Lent, some of our youth have accepted a challenge to read a Bible verse each day for 40 days; the verses come in the form of texts or on our Facebook page. The hope is that all those who accept this challenge will be influenced by God’s word in their everyday life and maybe even form a habit of reading it. Are you up for the challenge? Do you need a new, healthy habit? If your answer is yes but you need a little help you can join in on the 40 day AYC reading challenge by texting “AYC word” to 260-568-2530 to receive a daily verse; or visit The Access Youth Center on Facebook. Just remember, if you miss a day, you’re not “out”, keep trying because this habit will change how you look at each day, not just Thursday. “There’s nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.” 2 Timothy 3:15-17 (The Message).

to dusk. ACRES owns more land in Allen County than either the Allen County, New Haven or Fort Wayne parks systems. This gift will help ACRES continue to acquire land in northeast Indiana but particularly in the Cedar Creek corridor in northern Allen County. ACRES’ goal is to provide a 1,000-acre natural corridor adjacent to the Cedar Creek in northern Allen County. Since 1984, land has been acquired piece by piece to form a continuous natural corridor. To date, over 500 acres in the corridor have been purchased or gifted to ACRES. These same ACRES’ donors, life members, participated in acquiring the most recent addition to the Cedar Creek Corridor, Founder’s Forest on Shoaff Road. The long-term plan is to have the corridor provide a hiking spur trail connecting to the Pufferbelly Trail, which will connect to the Greenway and Aboite Trails systems, with the Pufferbelly Trail ultimately traveling north to Pokagon State Park. ACRES Land Trust is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization founded in 1960. The office is located at the Jane and Tom Dustin Nature Preserve, 1802 Chapman Rd., Huntertown, IN 46748.

JASON C. DAWES (left) accepts the TSP (top sales producer) award from Thorne Insurance Agency, Inc., President Kevin C. Killen. Only one of these awards is given for all Thorne Insurance Agency, Inc., locations in December of each year. This award is earned by being the top sales producer in the company for standard written property and casualty business for that year. Dawes excelled in 2010 in new written business and earned the award. He is an agent at the Wabash office location, and also helps service the crop insurance business at all locations. This is a very hard award to win, and it takes many hours outside of the office both working and networking with people to accomplish sales at this higher level. “I am very proud of Jason and the work ethic he has portrayed to win this award,” said Killen. “There are not many insurance agents out there that will go the extra mile for the customer like he will. He is an excellent insurance agent.” (photo provided)

New air traffic control tower to be constructed at Grissom Officials at Grissom Air Reserve Base held a special groundbreaking ceremony on March 15 to mark the beginning of construction for a new air traffic control tower. The new air traffic control tower, with a programmed cost of $7.4 million, will replace an existing structure built in 1965. Estimated completion date for the new tower is 2012. “The new air traffic control tower will provide tremendous benefits for all military, civilian and commercial aviation in the North Central Indiana region,” stated Lt. Col. Gary Lockard, chief of public affairs. “Many Indiana residents do not realize the air traffic controllers at Grissom are responsible for the airspace between Chicago and Indianapolis. In

recent years, the airspace under control of Grissom’s air traffic controllers has increased and now ranges all the way to Lafayette, Indiana.” When complete, the nine-story air traffic control tower will provide Grissom’s ATC with increased visibility, space for a control tower simulator to enhance training, increased security,

office space for administrative functions and enhanced environmental controls such as heating and air conditioning. The new air traffic control tower, along with the recently completed radar approach control center, will provide Grissom with stateof-the-art equipment and facilities that benefit all aviation in the region.

In testimony filed with Indiana state utility regulators on March 10, Duke Energy Indiana proposed significant customer protections associated with the construction of its Edwardsport coal gasification plant near Vincennes. The company is proposing to cap the project’s construction costs to be passed along to customers at $2.72 billion, excluding financing costs on that amount. Duke Energy also is proposing rate-related adjustments that will lower the overall customer rate increase related to the project from an average of about 19 percent to about 16 percent. The average residential, homeowner impact would be about 14 percent. The proposal is subject to Indiana Utility R e g u l a t o r y C o m m i s s i o n approval. “The effect of these proposals would be to bring the project’s near-term rate impact to approximately the same level it would have been under the currently approved, $2.35 billion cost estimate,” said Duke Energy Indiana President Doug Esamann. “We believe this approach balances four important objectives: the continuing need for new power generation; m o d e r n i z i n g Indiana’s aging power system, reducing the customer rate impact; and giving shareholders a reasonable return on their investment.” Specifically, Duke is proposing: - a hard cost cap commitment of $2.72 billion, plus financing costs on that amount; - waiver of the deferred tax financial incentive authorized by the commission in 2007 for this project; and

posal is part of Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission proceedings to review the cost increase request. Commission hearings are scheduled to begin Aug. 22. If approved by regulators, the rate increase will not come at once; already

approved costs began phasing into rates in January 2009 and will increase gradually through 2013. This “pay as you go” approach benefits customers by lowering total financing costs and spreading the rate increase over time.

In addition, Indiana customers will see the benefits of “bonus depreciation.” Bonus depreciation is a federal tax incentive provided for major projects such as the Edwardsport plant as part of the Tax Relief Unemployment I n s u r a n c e Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010. Last April, the company announced that the Edwardsport project’s scale and complexity would add approximately $530 million to the previously approved $2.35 billion estimate. That brought the total estimated cost of the plant to $2.88 billion, or $2.72 billion, not including financing costs. The company’s pro-

4 Words are important; the right word can make a difference Northfield student participates www.thepaperofwabash.com

There has been much debate and news coverage on the public health topic of protecting the health of all Hoosiers from the dangers of secondhand smoke. When authoring a comprehensive bill to establish a smoke-free indoor air policy in Indiana that protects all Hoosiers, one must look at certain restrictions and guidelines related to public safety. What’s wrong with that? There are policies that mandate the water temperature used to wash dishes in restaurants, but no one says the government is banning the practice of cleaning

March 16, 2011

dishes in cool water. It’s a policy, not a ban. If anyone washes dishes with cool water at home, it is their prerogative, but if those dishes will be used in public, it’s unsafe; therefore the health department sets certain restrictions and guidelines. It’s not a ban; it’s a policy. There is a difference; it’s not simply semantics. Webster defines the two words as follows: Policy – A basic principle or guidelines, formulated and enforced by a governing body to direct and limit actions in pursuit of long-term goals. Ban – To prohibit,

especially by legal means; also, to prohibit the use, performance or distribution. Protecting Hoosiers from the dangers of secondhand smoke is a public health issue that does not ban smoking. Smokers have the legal right to smoke; however, when smoking imposes a threat to public health, elected officials must take responsibility to protect its citizens. Smokers do not have the right to smoke anywhere, just as someone using hazardous chemicals does not have the right to use them anywhere or anytime

they feel like. Secondhand smoke is airborne, thus posing a public health threat, just as hazardous chemicals. There are specific cleaning fluids that are not banned; however, there are policies in place to restrict how and when they may be used to protect the general public. It’s not a ban; it’s a policy. For 10 years, Indiana Tobacco Prevention and Cessation (ITPC) has been working to protect Hoosiers from the dangers of tobacco, including secondhand smoke. Yet some have misconstrued ITPC’s efforts. Public health officials, civic leaders and voters are asking for smoke-free air policies and not a ban on smoking, nor smokers. They are demanding a smokefree air policy that sets certain restrictions and guidelines to protect all Hoosiers from the dangers of tobacco smoke. It’s not a ban; it’s a policy. There are many teachers and health care providers that smoke, but do they have the right to smoke while they are teaching or caring for children? There are policies in place to protect our children from those dangers. Indiana needs a comprehensive smoke-free air policy and not a smoking ban. It would be great to have elected officials, reporters and the general public to use the appropriate word and to understand the difference.

5 Macy couple arrested on arson charges www.thepaperofwabash.com

Stacey L. Spencer

Jennifer A. Spencer

A four month long criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective T.J. Zeiser resulted in the recent arrests of Stacey L. Spencer, 34, and Jennifer A. Spencer, 28, both of 1340 W. Oak St., Macy. The Spencers were served with a Miami Circuit Court arrest warrant alleging two class C felony counts of arson and two additional class C felony charges for insurance fraud. They were incarcerated in the Miami County Jail. Detective Zeiser initiated the investigation after receiving a tip that a September 2010 fire at the Spencersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

home was intentionally set. The fire

caused extensive smoke and fire damage to the interior of the residence, but there was no structural damage. The insurer of the home paid the Spencers for damaged personal property and to have the home restored to living conditions. Zeiserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigation revealed the fire was allegedly started by Stacey Spencer

intentionally leaving a blanket on top of a lit candle. Stacey and Jennifer then left the residence returning a short time later, and reported the fire by calling 911. Detective Zeiser was assisted in the investigation by the Indiana State Fire Marshalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and Trooper Randy Shaver.

A motion was made and passed to move forward with the $1,875 contract. Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land informed the commissioners that the jail population is at 76 with three inmates awaiting transport to Department of Corrections. He then gave an update on the liver transplant inmate. “I’ve spoken with the nurse,” Land said. “She says we can care

for this inmate with the resources we have at the jail.” Land went on to say that the issue is that the inmate must be segregated. He is currently being housed in a holding cell, and Land and Jail Commander Mark Henderson are working to open a cell for him. “The problem would be if he would become infected inside the jail with a cold or anything. He has no way of rejecting any sort of illness,” Land

The inmate’s Medicaid coverage will expire on March 28, at which point Wabash County will be responsible for all medical expenses, which includes medication and monthly trips to Indiana University Medical Center, totaling $5,500 per month.

He is the youngest of four children: his older brother Zack is in medical school in Kentucky; his oldest sister Brandie works in Indianapolis; and his sister Natalie attends Franklin College. “My family could use the help financially so I thought it was a good opportunity,” Unger said, when asked about applying for the Lilly Scholarship. “It’s really an honor to be a finalist because this truly is a life-changing opportunity.” Underwood Katie Underwood has been involved with Key Club and National Honor Society. She played basketball for four years and golf for three years.

I don’t personally know what each of the other finalists has to offer but I’m sure they’re just as qualified as I am so whatever happens I believe whoever gets it will be very deserving.” Wilson Shiloh Wilson has been involved with Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Peers Educating Peers, Student Council, and National Honor Society. She participates in soccer club in the fall and track in the spring. Wilson is also involved in youth group at Treaty Church of Christ. Her favorite subjects in school were math and English. She plans to attend Taylor University majoring in special education and may possibly pursue a double major with elementary education. Her parents, Mike and Terry Wilson, are foster parents so right now she has a foster sister. Her younger sister, Mariah, is a freshman in high school and she also has a half-brother and a half-sister, both are married with children of their own. Wilson said she would feel better about the process if there were still two winners, but also stated that this would make it a bigger honor if she gets it. “It’s really cool because it’s a good opportunity just to be a finalist,” she added, “but to be able to get it and to have the money would be a huge help. Just the honor of being one of the five finalists is really cool but to actually get it would be really awesome.” According to Moan, the applications were due in January and the committee met during the second week of February to narrow it down to their top five. Then interviews took place and now it’s in the final process of selection, with the announcement being made in April after Lilly approves the choice.

House Republican freshmen galvanized for democracy Dear editor, We entered the 2011 General Assembly with a passion to serve and a commitment to make a difference. Voters put us in charge to focus on jobs, a balanced budget with no new taxes and education improvement. In November we took an oath to uphold Indiana and our country’s constitution. We quickly got to work attending train-

ing, submitting legislation that supported our districts, and preparing for the work ahead. We were proud to be part of the largest freshman class, 19 in total, in recent House history. In January we left our day jobs as pharmacists, firefighters, teachers, administrators, respiratory therapists, engineers, managers, veterinarians, financial managers,

community activists, realtors, and law enforcers to serve the state of Indiana and our constituents. After six weeks of working in a bipartisan manner, the Democrat minority changed pace and fled the state; their leadership claiming our agenda is “radical”. The fact is Pat Bauer and his Democrat minority were not going to take any chances on democracy. They walked out instead. They followed this action with a list of demands: 11 bills they wanted removed from the legislative calendar, including the state budget – something that we are constitutionally obligated to pass. Further, we were told we were “antiunion, anti-family, and anti-middle class”. Our leader has been called uncompromising (along with some other unpleasant names). We have been told by Democrat representatives that this would all be solved if Speaker Bosma (RIndianapolis) would negotiate with Rep. Bauer behind closed doors to take bills “off the table”. We adamantly agree with our Speaker when we all say, “NO WAY!” We agree with the Speaker. Changes to these bills can take place on the House floor, the democratic way, through amendments and open debate.

PIERCETON ART GALLERY AND CERAMIC STUDIO held its Grand Opening on March 5 at 105 N. First St., Pierceton, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The business features an upscale art gallery in the front third of the building that will offer special painting displays and events. The gallery is managed by local artist, Steve Creighton, and features work by area artists, Robert A. Hudson and Penny French-Deal, as well as Creighton’s paintings. Beyond the gallery is a ceramic studio with a large classroom instruction area housing six potters’ wheels, wedging table, slab roller, extruder, booth style work benches and a large counter work area. A glazing and firing room is located at the rear of the store. Potters Joanna Lemler and Leigh Utter specialize in raw clay thrown on the wheel or sculpted, slab rolled clay, porcelain on the wheel and hump molded plates, bowls and dishes. At the other end of the spectrum, owner Linda Dilling specializes in the overglaze painting of porcelain and tiles, an art form no other business in this area offers. The studio also displays and sells pieces designed and painted by the potters and artists plus a unique array of art gifts including pieces by woodcraft artist Jerry Krider from Columbia City. Pierceton Art Gallery and Ceramic Studio is part of the growing art community in Pierceton and is nestled among the town’s quaint antique stores. Their operating hours are Wednesdays through Saturdays, 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call 574-453-8932 or e-mail piercetonartstudio@centurylink.net. Their website is www.piercetonartstudio.embarqspace.com. (photo provided) We are a new breed, not old school politicians. We know that democracy should not happen behind closed doors. Democracy, whether a tea-partier or liberal, happens out in the open where ideas are debated, amended and then voted “up or down”. Collaboration happens when elected officials from each side sit down together to discuss particular bills valuing each other’s point of view and discovering common ground. Consensus happens

when both sides give it their best effort and the minority view can at least “live with” the outcome. Unfortunately, Hoosi ers have been denied democracy, collaboration and consensus by the actions of the minority party hiding in Illinois and shirking their duties. The cost to Hoosiers includes $41 million in retiree benefits and dozens of other bills that cannot be enacted this year as they died procedurally. We are required to pass a budget and to

redraw the state and congressional House maps based on new census data. Further, we remain firmly committed to hear, debate, amend and vote 50 pieces of legislation that await second and third readings before turning our attention to Senate bills that require our attention as well. Rep. Bauer and Democrat colleagues – we may be freshmen, but we are not intimidated, worn down, or discouraged by your antics. Instead, you

have galvanized our commitment to democracy. We will be here, as Governor Daniels suggested, until New Year’s Day, if necessary, to fulfill our oath and commitment to Hoosiers. In the meantime, we will continue to study bills and amendments, pass our bills through the Senate, meet with constituents and become strong, capable legislators. We will stay on the “high road”. Rep. Rebecca Kubacki (RSyracuse)

Wabash selected to host Arts Midwest World Fest Manchester Symphony Arts Midwest World Fest, a global outreach performing arts program, announced Wabash as one of its nine host cities in its 2011-2013 series. The program is dedicated to

bringing international music ensembles to the Midwest, and they selected Wabash for its active arts community and relative location to Hartford City, which is home to a 3M plant. 3M,

based in Minneapolis, Minn., is a major supporter of the World Fest program. “For this series, Wabash is the only community to be invited in the state of Indiana,”

said Ken Carlson, Arts Midwest senior program director. “With the encouragement of our Indiana partner, the Indiana Arts Commission, our assessment is that the Honeywell Center and the community of Wabash are going to be a perfect fit.” During the two-year program, beginning in late October 2011, four ensembles representing distinct cultures will tour select communities in nine states served by Arts Midwest. The international ensembles feature week-long residencies, which will be held in coordination with the Honeywell Center’s Educational Outreach Program. During the two-year program, beginning in late October 2011, four ensembles representing distinct cultures will tour select communities in nine states served by Arts Midwest. During each ensemble’s stay in Wabash, they will feature public and school performances and school workshops that focus on music, education and interaction. Prior to the residencies, Arts Midwest will prepare and provide curriculum materials for use by schools and other community organizations. The curriculum, along with residency activities, will be designed to enhance the audience’s understanding and appreciation of these cultures and performing arts in an accessible and lasting manner. “World Fest and Arts Midwest blend well with our Educational Outreach Program,” said Honeywell Center Executive Director Tod Minnich. “Our pro-

gram is dedicated to providing arts-in-education opportunities for our community and Arts Midwest shares that passion. In addition, our program has long-featured inspiring artists; but through this cooperation, we are thrilled to offer students access to international artists.” The first visiting group to arrive will be the Yamma Ensemble in October. Formed in 2010, the Yamma Ensemble is a fivemember band from Israel that shares many of the different cultural and ethnic backgrounds that thrive in their country. Their sounds, drawn together from Eastern European, Balkan, Gypsy, Sephardic and Yemenite melodies, are at times joyous and at others moving; together they bring to their audiences the cultural mosaic that is Israel. In March of 2012, the second visiting ensemble arrives. The Uighur Song and Dance Troupe from China consists of a dozen artists from the Xinjiang region of China. Known for their vibrant music and ethnic dances that have been part of their culture for centuries, the Uighur Song and Dance Troupe performs songs that reflect a wide range of styles reflecting on the history of their society. Finishing out the series will be Wust El Balad from Cairo, Egypt, coming in the fall of 2012; and the Balinese group Gamelan Cudamani arriving in the spring of 2013. More information for these groups will be provided closer to their arrival dates.

Winchester Senior Center to offer A Nutty Party

The North Manchester Historical Society is pleased to invite the community to the local museum at 120 E. Main St., downtown North Manchester, for the celebration of the burning of the mortgage on March 26. The building is now debt free and belongs to the Center for History. The celebration begins with free guided behind the scene tours at 10 a.m. At 11 a.m., a short program will take place. Musical entertainment will be given by the Debra and Robert Lynn family. Historical Society President Mary Chrastil will review some of the early beginnings of the society and how it came to get the Oppenheim building for the home of all the possessions that now belong to the museum. Ten years ago, when the society moved into the present home, they had 2,200 items. Now the museum has over 22,000 items. The society is pleased that the community trusts them with these treasures. Chrastil will also recognize and thank some of the people who were influential in getting the museum started. This event will climax with the burning of the mortgage. Light refreshments will be served. At noon, tours will continue until 4 p.m. The Society will also offer behind the scenes tours on March 23, during their regular hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., for those who are interested but cannot attend the March 26 celebration.

Kiwanians hear from Steeles celebrate Golden Anniversary faculty of Wabash City Schools at recent meetings The March 1 Kiwanis meeting featured Dr. Celia Shand, Wabash City Schools’ superintendent, and staff members from Wabash High School who shared new technologies being considered for the school in the upcoming years. Many of these changes are being considered because it has been found that students also learn by using computer generated textbooks and other study techniques, in addition to the use of more traditional teaching methods. Matt Stone, athletic director of Wabash High School, joined the Kiwanis Club for their March 8 meeting. He shared with the group about the Wabash High School Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame in its two-year existence has already honored 33 graduates who have made great contributions toward athletics. In other news, Jack Thomas was awarded as the 2010 Kiwanian of the Year by Chairperson Rod Morrison. Many thanks to him for all of his work on behalf of the Wabash Kiwanis Club. As a reminder, the Kiwanis Pancake Day will be taking place in the 4-H Building on March 19, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets may be purchased from Kiwanis members or at the door the day of the event.

Indiana State Police Peru Post to conduct DUI checkpoint On the evening of March 18, troopers working from the Indiana State Police Peru Post will conduct an enforcement checkpoint targeting impaired drivers in Miami County. After the checkpoint, troopers will conduct roving saturation patrols aggressively seeking impaired drivers throughout the Indiana State Police Peru District, which covers Cass,

Fulton, Grant, Miami, Howard, Tipton and Wabash counties. Impaired driving remains one of America’s deadliest problems. According to the National Highway Traffic S a f e t y Administration, in 2008, 37,261 people were killed nationally in motor vehicle crashes. That same year, 11,773 people were killed in crash-

es that involved a driver or motorcyclist with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. That means every 45 minutes someone died in a crash involving an impaired driver. In Indiana, in 2007, there were a total of 205,005 crashes, 9,942 of them were alcohol related. “The purpose of enforcement checkpoints is to remove impaired drivers from Indiana roadways before they cause needless pain, suffering and death to innocent victims,” stated Indiana State Police Sergeant Rick Brown. “We would like voluntary compliance of Indiana’s traffic laws, but officers are searching for and will arrest the small segment of drivers who continually endanger all motorists by operating a motor vehicle while impaired.” Reminders so

motorists do not find themselves “over the limit and under arrest”: - Plan ahead and always designate a sober driver before consuming alcohol. - Don’t drive your vehicle if you’ve been drinking alcohol. Call a taxi or a sober friend. A cab ride is cheaper than a DUI arrest. - Take care of your friends. Never let a friend drive while impaired. Take their keys. - If you are hosting a party, always offer non-alcoholic beverages. Make sure all of your guests leave with a sober driver. - Never provide alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age of 21. Motorists are encouraged to report suspected impaired drivers by calling 911. Give a vehicle description and direction of travel. Never follow an impaired driver.

Secretary arrested for stealing money from Logansport Police Department

On March 10, a threemonth long criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Brian Dormer resulted in the arrest of Jodi L. Nicoll, 51, Logansport. Nicoll surrendered at the Cass County Jail where she was served a Cass Superior Court I arrest warrant alleging a class D felony count of theft. Detective Dormer started the investigation at the request of the Indiana State Board of Accounts (SBOA). An audit conducted by SBOA revealed that approximately $5,227 in fees

collected by the Logansport Police Department, from January 2008 through July 2010, had not been deposited with the Logansport Clerk Treasurer’s Office as required. The fees were collected when the public requested gun permit applications, crash reports, crash photos, vehicle identification checks, and finger

printing. Dormer’s investigation revealed Nicoll, who served as a secretary for the Logansport Police Department, allegedly collected the fees but kept the money and used it for personal gain. Nicoll is no longer employed at the Logansport Police Department.

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. Scott Fitzgerald Theater, Rockville, Md.; Strathmore Hall, Md.; Lyceum of Arts, St. Petersburg, Russia; Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Italy; and other venues. Dr. Irchai’s performances have been widely reviewed and featured in local, national and international mass 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. Dr. Irchai’s arrangements are published by TrevCo Music. Dr. Irchai is Fox C o r p o r a t i o n Performing Artist

The Paper recognizes “All-County” boy’s basketball winners

2010-11 honorees as voted by Wabash County coaches and select media representatives by Brent Swan The Paper staff (Shaun Tilghman and Brent Swan), along with Andy McCord and Bob Stambazzi of 105.9 The Bash; Eric Christiansen and Aaron Turner of the North Manchester News-Journal; Gary Andrews of wabashc o u n t y s p o r t s. c o m ;

and the five Wabash County boy’s basketball coaches recently collaborated in selecting the first annual “The Paper AllCounty Team”. The All-County rosters five First Team players, five Second Team players, two Honorable Mention selections, Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, and Sixth Man of the Year.

There were no regulations as to how many players could represent each school, as voters were simply urged to select the players they viewed as the most outstanding athletes throughout the 2010-11 season. Southwood High School senior Mike Cook was selected as the first boy’s basketball Player of the Year. Manchester Squire head coach Aaron Cripe earned the other top honor

after being voted Coach of the Year. Cripe improved the Manchester Squires to a 3-17 regular season record in his second season at the helm, despite losing six seniors from the 2009-2010 squad due to graduation. Cripe saved the best for last however, leading his team to defeat county rivals Northfield (53-46) and Wabash (64-56) during the opening two rounds of sectional play. Cripe’s Squires advanced to the championship game where they faced North Miami, even taking a brief lead in the fourth quarter before ultimately falling to the Warriors. Cook, a 5’8” guard, led all Wabash County scorers netting an average of 19.3 points per game (ppg) over the entire 2010-2011 season, and finishing as the third highest scorer during conference play (16.6 ppg). Cook’s impact was evident by the constant attention he required from opposing defenses. Cook consistently drew the opposing team’s lockdown defender, or a double team, yet managed to connect on 40 percent of his field goal attempts. He also led the Knights with 4.1 assists per game (apg), second best in the Three Rivers Conference (TRC), and attempted the second most free throws in the TRC, while connecting on 73 percent of his free throws attempted. Defensively, Cook finished tied with Connor Hobbs for sec-

/24) 4"4& /"% "34 "#"3) ,5''4/. ! &# *4& 666 42/7&,&15*0-&.4 $/- 9

ond on the Knights team with 37 steals, an average of 1.9 steals per game. Cook signed his national letter of intent to play collegiate basketball at Purdue University, North Central, where he will be able to play against former Knight teammate Spencer Krhin, now a member of the Bethel College Pilots. Joining Cook on the First Team is 6’5” junior forward/center Ryan Givens. Givens led the TRC in field goal percentage, connecting on nearly 64% of his total field goals. The junior from Northfield led his team in scoring, 13.4 ppg, seventh in the TRC, and rebounds, 9.2 rpg, tops in the TRC. Wabash Apache senior Alex Hentgen was also named to the All-County first team. Hentgen led the Apaches in nearly every statistical category, including points (13.7), rebounds (7.5), and steals (3.2). Hentgen led the TRC in steals and finished second in the county in scoring during conference play (15.7 ppg), behind only Cook (16.6 ppg) Hentgen was also selected by the coaches and media as the 2010-2011 Wabash County boy’s basketball Defensive Player of the Year. The Manchester Squires were the lone school in the county putting two selections on the first team; seniors Scott Baker and Austin Flack. Baker, a 6’4” senior finished the season ranking in the top ten

/24) ! "*, 42/7&,

&34 5.4*.(4/.

in the TRC in scoring and rebounds. His 13.3 ppg were good enough to finish ninth in the conference and his 8.4 rebounds per contest left him behind only Givens for the conference crown. Flack, a 5’10” guard averaged 11.7 ppg, tenth in the TRC, while dishing out 2.1 apg. He was among the top 15 three-point shooters in the conference and also finished fifth in the TRC with 41 steals on the year, an average of 2.1 steals per game. The Newcomer of the Year honor was awarded to Northfield sophomore forward Ryan Keaffaber. Despite limited playing time early in the year, Keaffaber left his mark during conference play. His 12.5 ppg average during

conference play was seventh best in the conference. For the year, Keaffaber averaged six points per contest. Southwood Knight senior Devin Dale was named the Sixth Man of the Year. Dale, a 5’10” guard, netted 1.3 steals per contest while mainly playing a reserve role. Members of The Paper’s Second Team All-County were junior Joe Frieden and senior Justin Parker, Northfield High School; juniors Levi Winget and Conner Hobbs, Southwood High School; and sophomore Shea Beauchamp, Wabash. Honorable mention selections were White’s guard Akeem Hill and Northfield forward Ryan Keaffaber.

by Shaun Tilghman Miller’s Merry Manor West, Wabash, recently hired Dave Schoenefeld as its new Administrator and Diane Caudill as the new Director of Nursing. Both Schoenefeld and Caudill joined the staff at the Wabash facility approximately three weeks ago.

state, but this is my first Administrator position,” he explained. “It’s been fun getting to know the residents in this facility – they’re really great and there are a lot of interesting stories. The staff here has also been very helpful; most of our staff heads have been here a long time so they know this building and they know this town. “It’s interesting for me because I’ve been through Wabash a lot but I haven’t spent a lot of time here, and what I’ve seen is people have a lot of pride in Wabash. I hope to keep the tradition of what this building has had in the past, being a good building where people feel safe bringing their family members.” According to Schoenefeld, as Administrator he is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations while ensuring that policies and procedures are followed in bringing

Schoenefeld is originally from Fort Wayne and is a graduate of Wabash College. He currently lives in Fishers and previously worked at the Miller’s facility in Tipton as an Administrative Assistant. “I’ve been with the company for three years all over the

We would like to thank everyone for the phone calls, flowers, food, cards and prayers during the past few months. Gary was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother and just a good friend to everyone. He will be greatly missed. We would like to also thank Wabash Oncology Department. They were wonderful during this time. Also the employees at Ford Meter Box, thank you for all of your calls volunteering to help us in anyway needed.

the utmost quality care to the residents. “I don’t know if a lot of people are aware that Miller’s Merry Manor is a 100percent employeeowned company,” he added. “Everybody is a part owner of the company and I think with that being said there is a different mentality in the way they perform their duties – they want to do a good job not only for the residents but for the facility as well.” Caudill is a Marion High School graduate. She received her LPN degree in 1991 and graduated from IUKokomo in 2003 with an associate’s degree as an RN. She was employed at the Miller’s facility in Marion for the last year and a half, and at one time she worked

in the Miller’s Huntington facility for three years. “I’ve been a nurse for 20 years, with 13 years of long-term care experience,” she said. “I was a staff nurse at the other facilities, but I’ve held upper management positions throughout my nursing career. “What we want to show is that we are family-oriented and we promote a family atmosphere with our residents. We want the care we’re giving, and our actions, to make the residents feel like they are members of our family.” As Director of Nursing, Caudill oversees all nursing staff and evaluates them in order to assure they are providing quality care for the residents. Both individuals

Wabash Musicale met Feb. 22 at the Honeywell Center with 20 members in attendance. For February, the theme, “Down Memory Lane with Music Through the Decade”, focused on the 1950’s, the decade that marked the beginning of American Bandstand and rock and roll. President Sarah See welcomed everyone to the 1950’s. Chairperson Kae Gifford wore a poodle skirt, pink sweater, bobby socks and saddle shoes to usher members through the decade. The 1950’s marked the end of World War II, the cold war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union; the beginning of the space race; and the Vietnam War. Gifford introduced Sue Gray, who performed “My Friend and I”, written by Ralph Carmichael and arranged by Fred Bock. Gray was accompanied

by Eileen Dye. Dye and Peggy Coppler performed “Theme from Exodus” as a piano duet. Exodus was a 1960 epic war film, the music was written by Ernest Gold. Dye then accompanied Coppler as she sang “Ain’t it a Pretty Night”, from Carl Floyd’s best-known opera, Susanna. Gray and Myra Perkins performed “Thee Coins in a Fountain”, a popular 1954 song written by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn. This song was written for the romance film of the same name and refers to the act of making a wish while throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Perkins sang “I Love Paris”, a popular 1953 song performed by Cole Porter and also heard in the musical, Can Can. Dye accompanied Perkins. Perkins then sang “Smile”, composed by

“I prefer the smaller facilities because you really get to know the residents better – it’s a much more quaint environment for the residents – and you can get to know their families better. There’s nothing wrong with the larger facilities but the smaller facilities definitely have their positives.” Schoenefeld’s wife, Christine, is also from Fort Wayne and they plan to move back there soon. The couple has one daughter, Emerson, and they have a baby on the way. Caudill has been married to her husband, Widdie “Bud”, for 24 years. The couple currently resides in Marion and they have two dogs.

Charlie Chapman. John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954. Dye performed “Love is a Many Splendored Thing”, music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Paul Francis Webster. Gray then performed “Love Potion #9” from Smokey Joe’s Café. This song was written in 1959 by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller. Dye accompanied Gray for this number. Dye then accompanied Coppler for a performance of “Tonight” from West Side Story. This song was composed by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Gray, accompanied by Dye, performed “Old Cape Cod”, written by Claire Rockrock,

Milton Yakers and Allen Jeffrey. Perkins and Gray, accompanied by Dye, concluded the program by singing a wonderful hymn, “It is No Secret”. This song was written by Stuart Hamblem, one of American Radio’s first singing cowboys and a Christian songwriter. Hostesses Sue Gray and Dorothy Merrick then served refreshments.

JUST A T H O U G H T : “Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.” ~ Doug Larson LAFONTAINE’S IOOF CEMETERY: All winter decorations must be removed by March 25. Those remaining will be taken off by the clean-up crew. SPRING IS IN THE AIR, literally. Sandhill cranes just flew over the house, heading north to their breeding territories. Not to be mistaken by great blue herons, sandhills fly with their necks stretched out. Great blues fly with theirs pulled in, making an “S” shape. Cornell Lab of O r n i t h o l o g y describes the sandhill call as “a deep, rolling trumpet and rattling.” If you’d like to hear an example of this call, check out Cornell’s website. Often times, the birds are flying so high you can’t see them, but are able to hear their call. You could see them in a field or around a wetland. Wetlands are a vital part of bird migration. (Please keep that in mind the next time you’re called upon to express a vote for a new parking lot or housing addition slated for a wetland area.) During fall migration, folks flock to Indiana’s Jasper Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area where there have been up to thirty thousand birds at a time. If you’ve never been, put it on your calendar, it’s well worth the trip. There, they have a lookout platform and an area where folks can set up their lawn

chairs, take a picnic and spend an enjoyable evening watching the birds come in to roost. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the rare and endangered whooping crane. Another bird to take notice of is the Turkey Vulture. They’re starting to fill our local skies after their winter hiatus spent in the south. It won’t be long until they’re smelling their roadside meals. I like to refer to them as Mother Nature’s garbage disposal. Can you imagine what would our world would look like, and smell like, if these birds weren’t here doing their job? While most people think this bird is gross, it’s one of Nature’s coolest creatures. The bald, featherless head aids the bird from becoming infected with contaminating diseases, often associated with decaying roadkill. The sun’s ultraviolet rays keep bacteria killed off. When you see these birds perched, with their wings spread out, they’re doing the same thing — allowing the sun to do its work as a disinfectant and killing mites. There are special chemicals in the turkey vulture’s stomach that keep the birds healthy after feasting on the

smorgasbord of decaying meat. You know how roadkill smells when you drive by? It doesn’t smell any better after it’s eaten. As a defense mode, if threatened, a turkey vulture will regurgitate its meal and that nasty smell will ward off any potential danger. They also use this offensive-smelling matter around their nest sites, which are often on the ground, to keep predators away from their young. Speaking of smells, another sign of spring has emerged: skunks. When I think of the black and white beauties my mind automatically goes to Great Horned Owls. (It’s an associative leap, I promise.) Since owls have a lousy sense of smell, a great horned owl’s special treat is, you guessed it, skunk. I’ve heard taxidermists dislike working on great horned owls because of the lingering odor. Since owls don’t build their own nests, great horned owls will use the nests of other birds, such as hawk and heron. And since they’re the first to go on the nests, usually in January or February, the owls can take their pick. A few years ago, while checking out the heron colony near LaFontaine, there the momma great horned owl sat,

smack dab in the middle of the colony, in a nest with a fuzzy, down-covered owlet. In the surrounding nests, great blue herons were busy setting up the nursery – you know, rearranging the furniture, cleaning curtains – in anticipation of their new arrivals. I’m betting momma great horned owl was probably thinking a meal of creme d’la heron would be perfect for her young. There’s a whole world out there, folks. Get out and explore it! Spring is in the air. ~ Lynnanne HAVE NEWS you’d like to share?

Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land recently announced that Wabash County citizens who would like to join him in the fight against crime are invited to become members of the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association. Many local citizens and some businesses have already joined the Association in support of our efforts. The Indiana Sheriffs’ Association is a nonprofit, professional, educational and service organization dedicated to improving the criminal justice system through education, training, service and the protection of the lives and property of the citizens of Indiana, according to the sheriff. The membership program was instituted to provide citizens with an opportunity to lend their support of crime prevention and awareness programs, promote public safety, provide more improved training for sheriffs and their personnel plus support the Summer Youth Leadership Camps and College Scholarships for teenagers interested in law enforcement that are provided by the association.

two star decals and releases of the newsletter. The sheriff stated that this letter of invitation sent to citizens is the only manner or way used to invite citizens to become members of the Association. He stated that no telephone solicitation or other methods are used to solicit members as are currently being used by some organizations. “Your joining of the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association will be welcomed as an expression of your support of our association and its many worthwhile programs,” the sheriff concluded.

“We are inviting the public to help us better serve them by joining our efforts to provide effective law enforcement,” Sheriff Land said. Wabash County residents should soon receive membership applications in the mail. “It is difficult to get an application to everyone who might want to join the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association as a member,” the sheriff said. If you don’t receive an application by mail, you can visit the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association website at www.indianasheriffs.org to join. All members will receive a membership card,
