Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Governor Mike Pence visits Wabash for Lutheran Air 2 dedication Republicans dominate by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Thursday was a busy day in Wabash with two big events, both in honor of the new Lutheran Air 2 hangar at the Wabash Municipal Airport. The new facility’s main purpose is housing the air ambulance helicopter, but it also serves as office and living space for pilots, crew, and support staff. An open house was held inside the hangar Thursday evening, but the day’s main event took place a few hours before, as Governor Mike Pence made an appearance during a luncheon at the Honeywell Center. Short remarks were made by Mayor Robert Vanlandingham, Economic Development Group CEO Bill Konyha, and Lutheran Health Network CEO Brian Bauer before Governor Pence was welcomed to the stage. Pence began by congratulating Wabash and Lutheran Health Network on the addition of the hangar. He was also sure to mention his excitement for the city’s recent designation as a Stellar Community. “Wabash is on the move. I’ve got to tell you, what an awesome place. It’s great to be here at the Honeywell Center and great to be here with all of you,” said Pence. Pence talked briefly about the impact that Lutheran Health Network has had on the area, as well as the state’s economy, noting that the healthcare industry employs 400,000 people in Indiana. “In the last year, Lutheran Health Network served about 800,000 inpatient visits and 2.7 million ER visits. It’s all a part of a healthcare economy in Indiana that’s making a difference in people’s health, but also making an immense difference in the economic life of our state,”

Pence spoke highly of Wabash and its economic development efforts. (photo by Eric Stearley) said Pence. “I’m so grateful for the renewed investment in this community. I’m really excited to be in town with the Lutheran Air 2 dedication this afternoon, to be able to celebrate that, but mostly, to celebrate the opportunity to be here in this community and share maybe just a taste of some of our ideas to keep Indiana moving.” Pence then commented on the state’s balanced budget, fiscal responsibility, and corporate tax cuts, as well as the state’s reputation across the country. “The story of Indiana’s success is being manifested here in Wabash and is being emulated and touted all over the country,” said Pence. “We’re the fiscal

envy of the country.” Pence then recounted a recent call from Massachusetts Governor-elect Charlie Baker, during which the two discussed the state’s economy and budget. “It really is something when in Massachusetts, they’re talking about Indiana’s balance sheet, but they were just a couple short weeks ago,” said Pence. In addition to a balanced budget, Pence pointed to his administration’s tax cuts as a key to the state’s economic growth, as well as the addition of 50,000 jobs over the last year.

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Tuesday’s General Election saw the Republicans pick up seven seats to take control of the US Senate. In the House of Representatives, Republicans gained at least 13 seats; seven seats have yet to be called. The same trend was alive in Wabash County, as Republicans swept every contested race. Locally, 6,439 citizens, making up 28.87 percent of registered voters, cast a ballot. This turnout was much lower than the year’s national average of 36.4 percent, but reflected the state’s turnout of 28 percent. This was the lowest among all 50 states. According to the United States Elections Project, 2014 saw the lowest national voter turnout since 1942. Wabash had the honor of hosting a congressional debate this year, and voters made a definitive choice in the race. For Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District, Jackie Walorski easily defended her seat in Congress; in Wabash County, she beat Joe Bock by a 46 percent margin, receiving more than seven out of ten votes. Across the district, Walorski took a smaller majority, with 59 percent of the vote. In state politics, Republicans swept the elections for Secretary of State, Auditor of State, and Treasurer of State, with large-margin wins going to Connie Lawson, Suzanne Couch, and Kelly Mitchell respectively; each took more than 72 percent of the vote. In the only contested race for Wabash County Council, Jeff Dawes (R) beat out Chad Harris (D) for the District 2 seat, taking 1,001 of the 1,315 votes, or more than 75 percent. Pleasant Township had five candidates running for three seats on the Township Board. Republicans Stan Bagley, Lisa Flack, and David Hawkins won out over Democrats Glendon Morgan and Denise Rohrer. Bagley received 25.98 percent of the vote, with Flack and Hawkins taking 27.57 and 26.15 percent respectively. In the non-partisan races for Metropolitan School District of Wabash County’s school board, incumbent and sitting School Board President Matt Driscoll defended his Northeast District seat, beating out challenger Brad Fleck by 448 votes, a 21% margin. In the closer race for the

students in the fields of welding and advanced manufacturing. The grant is part of the C o m m u n i t y Foundation’s ongoing efforts to advance educational attainment, increase employment and end poverty. “The Community Foundation is working hard to help more adults in Wabash County acquire the skills needed for good jobs,” said Patty Grant, Executive Director. “Having the validation of recognized certifications helps young people who are pursuing trades get the most out of their training.” Mark Hobbs, Director of Heartland Career Center, said the Community Foundation of Wabash County is a strong supporter of Heartland’s efforts. “This extensive training to certify our welding instructor is such a great investment for our students, and we certainly could not have done it without their help.” As the welding instructor at Heartland Career Center, Jack Holley focuses on helping kids in Wabash County forge a productive future with in-demand job skills. “We try to give our students a career-oriented skill set that they can take straight into the workforce after high school,” said Holley. “There’s a shortage of skilled labor out there, and

The CTE grant will be used to fund a substantial investment in advanced manufacturing training for the high school and post high school students in the region. “Only 30% of adults in Wabash County have training beyond high school,” says Julie Garber, Program Director of the Community Foundation of Wabash County. “By the year 2025, more than 60% of available jobs will require something more than a high school diploma, such as industry recognized certifications or associate degrees. Job seekers, nonprofits, schools, city and county government, and business realize that we all have to put our shoulder to the wheel if we want to move toward the goal. After all, the whole community will benefit from greater productivity, more home-buying, more consumer spending, and more tax revenue.” For Jack Holley, it is a victory every time a student who otherwise would have had limited opportunities for a job leaves the school with a lifelong skill. “One student in particular comes to mind,” he said. “He came to us with no experience after

my goal in the welding field is to prepare my students for a real life job setting — both in their welding performance and in all of the other things that are expected of them. “The certification being funded by the C o m m u n i t y Foundation is the American Welding Society SENSE program,” continued Holley. “It is both an academic and skillbased certification of lifelong skills. This will help us tremendously in our goal of having a welding lab here at the Heartland Career Center that will allow us to become an accredited test facility and certify students in many different welding processes.” The efforts at the Heartland Center reflect a new emphasis throughout the Indiana Department of Education on manufacturing certifications. “There is a growing need in our region for advanced manufacturing skills in a wide range of fields,” said Hobbs. “So it’s a win-win for both employers and adults who have the opportunity to enter the workforce.” The Community Foundation grant does double duty as a match for an Indiana Department of Education Innovative Career and Technical

Governor Mike Pence visits Wabash for Lutheran Air 2 dedication...continued from front page became governor to extend educational opportunities to disadvantaged kids,” said Pence. He then discussed his plan to “provide more resources to all of our schools, in our large counties, in our small counties, so they can pay our good teachers more and get more freedom in the classroom.” “When I ran for this job and campaigned in places like Wabash, one of the insights that I drew from that campaign was that there is a skills gap in Indiana, and that’s what the economists call; I call it a head-scratcher,” said Pence. “We made a commitment, and I promise you, we’re not going to rest, we’re not going to relent, until we make career and vocational education a priority in every high school in the state of Indiana.” With the statements of plan and policy complete, he finished his keynote by putting the focus on an influential member of the Wabash community, the late Richard Ford. Pence first met with Ford during his gubernatorial campaign more than two years ago. “He regaled me for the better part of an hour and a half about ‘this community.’ He said, ‘You’ve got to understand what a special community this is,’” said Pence. “I want to announce to all of you here today that, in preparing my remarks today, I decided that I’m going to invite his family down to the governor’s office, and were going to stand in front of the historic fireplace, and I’m going to present Richard Ford with the ‘Sagamore of the

(photo by Eric Stearley) “Since I became governor, I’ve signed into law $643 million in annual tax relief. We’ve lowered the income tax by 5 percent,” said Pence. “When our corporate tax rates are fully implemented, Indiana will have the third-lowest corporate tax rate in the United States of America. That’s real progress and we’ll build on that.” One of the ways Pence hopes to build on this is by growing the manufacturing sector. Pence shared that he proudly informed President Obama of Indiana’s place as the number-one manufacturing state in the country during a visit to Evansville last month. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Indiana has

the largest manufacturing share of nonfarm employment and the second-highest share of gross state product (GSP), though it has many fewer total manufacturing jobs than some larger states. He also shared his belief that the one thing that could inhibit the state’s growth is brain drain and the migration of young, skilled professionals to larger cities. “We’re going to continue to fly in the face of that,” said Pence. “In the modern economy, you can put a factory anywhere and enjoy the quality of life and the low cost of living in fantastic communities with wonderful options in education. You don’t need some big city to do it.”

Bauer said that when he first visited Wabash, he knew this was the place he wanted to station the hospital network’s second helicopter. (photo by Eric Stearley)

He then pointed to recent examples of this, including POET and Living Essentials, as well as the coming Midwest Eye Consultants’ lens coating operation, projected to employ 31 people by 2018. “What’s most exciting to me is that Indiana is growing in the city and on the farm. We’re growing in small business Indiana, and we’re growing in large business Indiana, and it’s all because of people like you,” said Pence. “The State of Indiana continues to lead the way with strong support here in Wabash.” Key to manufacturing growth, Pence said, is effective education, specifically in the areas of vocational and technical training. “I think the center of economic growth in the state of Indiana is built on the principal that if you can’t succeed in the classroom, you’re not going to succeed in the marketplace, and that’s why in the State of Indiana, we’ve been trying to work every day since I

Wabash’ award.” This is the highest honor the governor can bestow on a citizen. It takes its name from the Algonquian word for a wise leader that the chief looked to for advice. “The difference he made in the life of our state will never be forgotten,” said Pence. The announcement was met with thunderous applause from the audience. The posthumous honor will be added to a list of others, which already includes Wabash County Distinguished Citizen and Indiana Historical Society Living Legend. Ford passed away last April. “Here at the Honeywell Center, here with this dynamic mayor and this dynamic economic development team, the growth that’s happening here, it just convinces me that the best days of Wabash and Wabash County and the State of Indiana are yet to come,” said Pence. With that, Pence left the podium, congratulated Mayor Vanlandingham, and was quickly surrounded by members of the audience hoping for a chance to talk with the governor and get a picture.

A POST CARD ADDRESSED to Eva Cripe, Urbana, was postmarked Apr. 5, 1911. It is a picture of the 1910/1911 Urbana basketball team. The only note on the back of the card is “Leo on far left and Vert Sholty on far right.” I need help with identification if anyone knows anything about the picture. There is no picture of this team in the Wabash County Basketball Heritage book. I tried comparing pictures with Urbana class pictures and there is no class picture for 1908, 1909, or 1910. The 1911 class picture had two students - one boy and one girl. I believe the boy, William Frushour, is one of the team members. I believe Glen Fox, who is listed as the teacher of that class, is the coach. (Thanks to Tom Driscoll for sharing this picture.) A copy of the post card has been made and will be hung in the Urbana Community building. (photo provided)

Stirring it up with Angie Baer

Few things taste better than a piping hot bowl of beef stew. I’m always looking for ways to use up the last of the garden vegetables, and this recipe for slow cooker beef stew is just the thing. This stew is chock-full of root vegetables from our garden. I don’t recall ever having such a bountiful garden. We have had a surplus of carrots, onions, potatoes, and parsnips. This is Dave’s second successful year for growing parsnips. A parsnip looks like a white carrot but tastes nothing the same. The best way that I could describe the taste of a parsnip would be that it has a hint of black licorice with a slight amount of heat. Sounds tasty doesn’t it? I don’t believe I would ever eat a raw parsnip but added to this beef stew, it adds a wonderfully unique flavor. Slow Cooker Beef Stew 2 medium parsnips cut into 1-inch chunks 1 cup frozen peas 1-1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed 6 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch

chunks 1 medium onion, chopped 3 celery ribs, chopped 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1-1/2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 cup beef broth 1 teaspoon ground mustard 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon dried thyme 3 tablespoons minute tapioca

Place flour in a resealable plastic bag. Add stew meat, seal and toss to coat evenly. In a large skillet, brown meat in oil. Place in slow cooker. Layer potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, parsnips and peas over beef. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, broth, salt, pepper, thyme, and tapioca. Pour over the mixture in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 1-1/2 hours. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 7 hours longer or until meat is tender.

Honeywell Foundation surpasses $8 million campaign goal, celebration planned A five-year campaign to increase the H o n e y w e l l Foundation’s Endowment Fund has ended successfully after having exceeded its $8 million goal. Plans are currently underway to celebrate this great achievement. An open house reception will take place on Thursday, Nov. 13 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in Legacy Hall of the Honeywell Center and will be open to the public. The reception will include an Educational Outreach exhibit highlighting arts-in-education opportunities, individual and corporate donor recognition, live piano music pro-

vided by Susan Vanlandingham, and refreshments. A presentation will take place at 5:30 p.m. featuring comments from campaign volunteer leaders. The Honeywell Center Vocal Impact Youth Choir, under the direction of Emily France, will also perform. One of the key elements of the campaign was securing the future of the Foundation’s Educational Outreach Program. The Outreach Program provides arts-in-education opportunities to students in its 12county service region. Over 41,000

arts opportunities were made available to schools during the 2013-2014 school year at no cost to the students or to the schools. Through this campaign, $2.6 million was raised to support this specific program. The success of the campaign can be attributed to the dedicated guidance of the L e a d e r s h i p Committee, cochaired by Dave Haist and John Forrester. Others who served on this committee were Parker Beauchamp, Steve Downs, Steve Ford, Greg Garner, Patty Grant, Amy Ford, Dave Mann, Amy Sullivan,

Thurman Bitzell, 83 U.S. Air Force veteran Sept. 5, 1931 – Nov. 4, 2014 Thurman Bitzell, 83, North Manchester, passed away at 2:45 a.m. on Nov. 4 at Peabody Healthcare Center, North Manchester. He was born Sept. 5, 1931 to Raymond and Ruth (Gill) Bitzell in Wabash. As a child, he and his father attended many horse shows and raced horses. He graduated in 1950 from Chester High School. He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1951-1955. He then was a salesman for Heckman Bindery. He operated a service station in Huntington for several years. He then was employed at Wayne Metal in Huntington, as a welder and retired after several years of service. He was a member of the Moose Lodge, VFW, American Legion and Elks Lodge. He was an avid bowler and enjoyed racing motorcycles. Thurman is survived by several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents and his companion, Edna Bitzell, who passed away Sept. 30, 2011. Funeral services were held Nov. 8 at McKee Mortuary. Pastor Mary Lu Mikesell officiated the service. Burial followed in Oaklawn Cemetery, North Manchester. Memorials may be made to Visiting Nurse Hospice, 5910 Homestead Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46814.

Deer numbers down, but productive season expected Indiana deer hunters should expect another productive season in 2014, although they may see fewer deer than in previous years when the firearms season begins Nov. 15. “There are several factors contributing to reduced deer numbers in certain areas of the state,” DNR deer management biologist Chad Stewart said. “Some are by design and some are by external forces.” The DNR is in the third year of a management effort to reduce deer numbers in targeted areas. Another reason for fewer deer was a serious 2012 outbreak of hemorrhagic disease – an oftenlethal virus transmitted by small flies known as biting midges. “These numbers are more in line with what should be seen on the landscape,” Stewart said. “We recognize these declines and have been responsive in our management by

reducing our antlerless quotas in many areas and dropping some counties from the special late antlerless season. In many cases, these are the levels at which we are trying to manage our herd.” In addition to basic bag limits, hunters can purchase bonus licenses to take additional antlerless deer based on a county’s assigned quota. Bonus licenses can be used in any season, except the Urban Deer Zone Season, using the equipment that is legal for that season. The bonus antlerless quota was reduced this year for 19 counties. As a result of those reductions, six fewer counties are eligible for the special late antlerless season (Dec. 26 through Jan. 4, 2015) than a year ago. With no hemorrhagic disease reported in 2014 and few reports of deer being affected by last year’s hard winter, Stewart anticipates a deer harvest similar

to that of 2013 (126,635 deer) but short of the record set in 2012 of 136,248 deer. The firearms season runs Nov. 15-30. Hunters with a firearms license may take one antlered deer. Bonus licenses are required to take additional deer with firearms. “Hunters in the north are likely to see deer numbers at lower levels than they are accustomed to seeing,” he said. “Historically, deer herds tend to rebound quickly from outbreaks of hemorrhagic disease, but that hasn’t been the case in northern Indiana.” Stewart sees a different picture in southern Indiana. “Hunters there should continue to see good numbers of deer,” he said. “The balance of deer cover and the absence of lingering effects from any disease outbreak have produced ample opportunities for hunters to be successful.”

Law enforcement adding patrols during busy Thanksgiving holiday travel period Officers cracking down on impaired driving and seat belt violations As families take to the roads this holiday season, law enforcement is reminding drivers extra patrols will be cracking down on impaired driving and seat belt violations to increase safety on the state’s streets and highways. “Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel periods of the year,” said Sheriff Bob Land. “Officers will be working overtime hours as part of a comprehensive effort to curb impaired and dangerous driving.” Area law enforcement agencies are

working in tandem on saturation patrols and DUI checkpoints. “If you see someone driving in a manner you suspect of being impaired, there is a high probability you are right,” said Deputy Dustin Hurst, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department OPO coordinator. “Call 911 immediately and report the location, description, and direction the vehicle is traveling. This will help officers take action necessary to prevent a possible tragedy.” “Anyone found to be driving impaired will be arrested,” Hurst stated. “Also, occupants not using seat belts or who are not properly

restrained will be cited and given a ticket.” In November 2013, there were 490 alcohol-related crashes across Indiana, resulting in 224 injuries and 13 fatalities. A total of 735 drivers were arrested for driving under the influence and 9,504 seat belt citations were issued to drivers and passengers who were not properly restrained. “Wearing your seat belt can save you life,” Hurst added. “In Indiana, nearly 50 percent of fatalities in passenger car accidents are due to occupants who did not buckle up.” Officers also noted that vehicle crashes

are the leading cause of death for kids between the ages of 8 and 15. For families with young children, it’s important to have a properly installed child safety seat or booster seat for each child. Parents can visit childseat.in.gov for a list of locations and a toll-free phone number to speak with experts about the proper installation of child safety seats. Law enforcement agencies from across the state, including the Wabash Police Department, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department and troopers from the Indiana State Police are jointly participating in his holiday enforcement effort.

Patterson calls for Clean Water Act regulations to remain strong Dear editor, I strongly support the Clean Water Act of the EPA, but I feel that Corporate Ag and Farm Bureau are trying to take away some of the language that would help protect the rule as the EPA and the Corps want it. An example of this is ditches. The proposed rule actually reduces

regulation of ditches because for the first time it would exclude ditches that are constructed through dry lands and don’t have water year-round. I will give an example of the reason this is bad: A large Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation dairy near Andrews, was totally shut down

by the state several years ago because of deliberately dumping manure into a ditch that led directly into Salamonie Reservoir, badly polluting it. The town of Andrews is three miles from this dairy, and our daughter, sonin-law, and four grandchildren lived about two miles from this CAFO dairy. Both had to have their wells bleached due to bad E-Coli. Our 16 –year-old (at that time) grandson developed second stage

non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, and an adjoining neighbor of this CAFO developed fourth stage nonHodgkins Lymphoma. Thank goodness both are now free of cancer after months of Chemotherapy, radiation, and in the case of the neighbor, a stem cell transplant! We have had the toxic blue-green algae problem for years, but this year it was exceptionally bad. It is the same thing that polluted Lake Erie’s water so that thou-

sands of people did not have water this year. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are the largest con-

tributor to this. Indiana is one of the worst states in the nation in both water and air pollution. The regulations of the

Clean Water Act should not be weakened!

Heartland holds food drive

STUDENTS IN THE EARLY CHILDHOOD class at Heartland Career Center recently held a nontraditional food drive throughout the school. Each class was given an opportunity to participate in different Halloween activities like pumpkin carving, Halloween cookie decorating and dress up day if they donated a certain amount of non-perishable food items. The Early Childhood class collected 466 non-perishable food items through the Halloween week. The a.m. junior cosmetology class, who participated in a Halloween Hair Contest, also participated in these activities. Pictured is the culinary class with their cookie creations.

Adoption â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heart Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stops in Wabash The Indiana Heart Gallery, a traveling exhibit featuring compelling portraits of children in need of adoptive families, is stopping in Wabash. The gallery will be featured at Bachelor Creek Church of Christ from Nov. 15 20. The Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) uses the Heart Gallery to help bring attention to children in foster care in need of a forever home. Between 75 and 100 Hoosier kids need adoptive homes right now because they were removed from abusive or neglectful situations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every child needs a family they can call their own. We need families that are not only willing to love our children, but are also prepared to commit to them, claim them as their own and hang in there through their ups and downs,â&#x20AC;? said Sandra Caesar, DCSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; adoption manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foster children will someday be our neighbors and co-workers. The stability and permanency that adoption provides is a critical step in giving these children the best possible chance at success in life.â&#x20AC;? Using the talents of professional photographers who volunteer their time, the individual spirit and true personality of each child is captured. Heart Gallery photographs sometimes show shy children wrapped in their security blankets, girls dressed up as princesses, boys hugging dogs and siblings laughing together. The children all have one thing in common: they need families that will give them unconditional love. Nearly 400,000 children are in foster care in the United States. More than 100,000 are legally available for adoption and in need

of adoptive families. Many of these children are older, in sibling groups that want to be adopted together or have special needs. This year, as many as 20,000 young people will leave the foster care system without lifelong familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; many at age 18. On their own, these young adults must navigate a weakened economy offering fewer jobs and less support for vital services such as housing. They deserve caring adults who love and support them. For some foster kids, getting adopted can mean the difference between homelessness or incarceration and transitioning successfully to adulthood. The Indiana Heart Gallery will display ten portraits Nov. 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20 at Bachelor Creek Church of Christ, located at 2147 N. State Road 15 in Wabash. Viewing times are Saturday, Nov. 15: 12-6 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 16: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Monday through Thursday, Nov. 17 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 20, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1-4 p.m. There is no charge to see the Heart Gallery exhibit.

Wabash Middle School holds successful FISH drive

The Wabash Middle School annual food drive was a success with a whopping 5,251 points worth of food, amounting to 2,524 food items, which were donated to FISH. This year, WMS made the food drive more interesting and competitive by not only counting items, but also making specific items worth double or triple points to encourage those items. The winner of the 5th/6th grade competition, only 22 points ahead of Mrs. Degitz, was Mr. Olson. His classroom brought in the most food throughout the school, totaling 1,101 points! In second place was Mrs. Degitz, and third was Mrs. Baer. The winner of the 7th/8th grade competition, winning by only 54 points, was Mr. Gentis! Following closely behind was Mr. Till and in third place was Mr. Evans. This year’s food drive was a great success, and student council is glad to have helped the community!

19 DINING & ENTERTAINMENT A Stellar Community: Paradise Spring Outdoor Amphitheater THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

November 12, 2014

Editor’s Note: This is the fifth in a series of nine articles outlining each of the proposed projects included in this year’s Stellar Communities application.

CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS of the Paradise Spring Outdoor Amphitheater show the projects two phases. The top image shows Phase 1, which will include the stage and lawn seating. Project organizers hope that Phase 2 will bring a terraced seating area in the amphitheater’s natural bowl shape. (images provided) by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Paradise Spring Historical Park plays a big role in hosting numerous events throughout the season. From the recently held Wabash Cannonball Chili Cook-Off and Smokin’ for a Cause to the Relay for Life and Herb Fest, roughly a dozen large events draw thousands to the downtown park each year. Event patrons are familiar with the flatbed trailer often used as a stage for live musical performances during these events. The Paradise Spring Outdoor Amphitheatre project looks to replace this with a 3,000-4,000 person outdoor amphitheater just down the hill from where these events are held. “The amphitheater was actually one of the projects that bubbled up through the planning process and all of the groups that participated,” said E c o n o m i c Development Group

CEO Bill Konyha. “The discussion started on the amphitheater and what a benefit it would be, because of the chili cook-off, the Charley Creek Arts Festival, all of the things that happen at Paradise Spring park. In fact, the first stage of this will be to construct an outdoor stage, complete with electronics, just exactly for that purpose.” The park used to feature a small, wooden stage on the lawn, which periodically hosted small musical acts and community events. A few years ago, the state revised its temporary stage regulations following a tragic event at the Indiana State Fair in August of 2011, when a gust of wind caused the stage to collapse, killing seven people. “After that happened, there was a big effort by the state, the Department of Homeland Security, to take a closer look at temporary stages of all kinds,” said Parks D e p a r t m e n t Superintendent Todd Titus.

Though the stage at Paradise Spring did not have an overhang and was barely a foot off the ground, it was categorized as a temporary stage and subject to the new regulation. “If you have a [temporary stage], you have to have all the engineering data on the weight limits and the loads that the stages can support,” said Titus. “Those were basically donein-house stages, and they didn’t comply, so we took them out.” The new stage will be much larger than any stage in the past and will feature an overhang, shading the stage from sun and rain. “By capitalizing on the existing natural landscape “bowl” shape already there, (perfect for naturally amplifying sound) this park amenity will become a tourist destination for local and regional visitors, reinforcing Wabash’s identity of combining natural beauty with the arts,” the Stellar Communities application outlines.

In addition to the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau and the parks department, project team members include the Noisemaker and Wabash Area Community Theatre. Most importantly, the H o n e y w e l l Foundation will be in charge of programming. “We’ve agreed that the Honeywell Foundation is the appropriate organization to run it. It should not be run through the Parks Department or anyone else,” said Konyha. “We’ve got experts here. Why not use them? And The Noisemaker, being in the music industry, it seems like a pretty good partner.” “That’s been the vision,” Honeywell Foundation Executive Director Tod Minnich said about the arrangement. “It makes sense. It’s what we do, and I think it’s good, not only for Honeywell, but for the community, for organizations to do what they’re good at doing. It’s one more venue to manage and one more venue to program, and coordinating all of that effort is important. Wabash requires a regional audience to make a lot of these things work, so mak-

ing sure that we don’t step on top of other programs in the region, not only things we do, but things that other organizations do, would be important.” In addition to providing a permanent entertainment stage to support the park’s

existing events, the presence of an amphitheater could open opportunities for other events to relocate. “Wabash currently has a number of events and activities that are outgrowing venues for outdoor entertainment and

events currently in Wabash,” the application states. The Sizzlin’ Summer Plaza Series, currently held on the Honeywell Center Plaza, is one event that may move to the amphitheater in the future. It could also be (continued on page 21)

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT Wabash Area Community Theatre announces ‘Champagne and Mistletoe’ Dinner Theatre www.thepaperofwabash.com

November 12, 2014

Wabash Area Community Theater, in collaboration with Charley Creek Inn, announces plans for their dinner theater show, “Champagne and Mistletoe”, to be held on the Friday and Saturday evenings of Dec. 5-6. The evening will begin with cash bar service beginning at 6 p.m. in the downstairs ballroom. The singers

will begin the evening festivities at 6:30 p.m. as they sing from the mezzanine, entertaining guests as they arrive for the evening. Chef Scott Howell and his staff will prepare a gourmet holiday dinner, featuring roasted tomato basil soup, tossed seasonal greens with champagne vinaigrette dressing, homemade rolls and whipped butter, chicken marsala, roasted red skinned potatoes, cinnamon carrots, and cranberry apple crumble. The show will begin at 7 p.m. in the Charley Creek Inn Ballroom and the meal served shortly thereafter. “Champagne and Mistletoe” will feature an original script that will provide the narrative for favorite songs, readings, dances, and drama as the cast highlights Christmas melodies

and memories spanning the decades from 1822 to the present. The ensemble will include songs mentioning mistletoe as part of their program, while the speakers present “champagne toasts” for the music and legends. Singers in the ensemble include Jennifer Denney, Susie Jones, Drea Konyha, Josie Wade, Jane Willmert, Samantha Kramer, Beth Miller, Cindy Rich, Amanda Shull, Charly Dye, Bruce Rovelstad, Bob Wade, Gary Dale, Bruce Green, and Ham Sadler. They will present favorite songs in a variety of musical styles, from classic musical standards, to rock and roll and gospel jazz. Most of the music will feature the keyboard artistry of Rick Elliott and the percussion enrich-

ment of Bob Ferguson. Several children and teenagers will also appear in the show with favorite children’s classics and some dancing. The complete listing will be finalized soon. Judy Ward, Charly Dye, Beth Miller, Ham Sadler, and Jane Willmert have served as the planning committee for the show. Judy Ward is the scriptwriter and music director, while Ham Sadler is technical director. Reservations may be made by calling Charley Creek Inn at 563-0111 ext. 156. The deadline for tickets for the Dec. 5 performance will be Dec. 1, with sales for the Dec. 6 show closing the following day. Make reservations as early as possible for preferred seating.

Klutz Well Drilling celebrates 100 years of family business by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Klutz Well Drilling, located a few miles east of North Manchester, is celebrating its hundredth anniversary as a family-owned and operated business. Founded in 1914 by Alva Klutz, the business has been passed down from father to son through five generations to Ralph, James, Tom, and now Brent Klutz. “We’re the only company in Wabash and Huntington counties that has a rig,” said Tom as he

thumbed through is g reat-g randfather’s record books from the 1930s. “Typically, most well drillers are all small businesses, and most of them have been in the business because their family is in the business,” said Brent. “It just seems to be part of the nature of our business.” The company was founded to fill a very basic need in the early years of the last century. “The need for water,” said Tom. “They used to put a

lot of windmills up; they were a dealer of air motor windmills. In fact, somewhere around here, I’ve got shipping crates that say Alva Klutz and Son from the air motor company.” Over the course of the last century, the company as drilled hundreds of wells throughout the county. These days, most of the county’s residents who need a well already have one, so the business is largely focused on service and maintenance. “There’s not as many wells that get

drilled now as there used to be,” said Tom. “We do a lot of service,” said Brent. “That’s the main part of our business. Drilling is just kind of a bonus.” “The fact that we’ve been in business so long has gotten us a lot of customers, and they need service, so that’s our big thing,” Tom added. Growing up around the well digging business, Tom got off to an early start. “I drilled my first well when I was 15 years old, and I rode (continued on page 23)

A Stellar Community: Paradise Spring Outdoor Amphitheater...continued from page 19 one of several venues for the farmers’ market, and could host expanded live entertainment during the Charley Creek Arts Fest. Stage designs have not been finalized, but it will be large enough to host a sizeable band or theatrical performance. Initially, the venue will offer lawn seating. The committee hopes to see terraced seating in the “bowl” during the project’s second phase, but that’s still far in the future. “There are a number of issues to overcome, not the least of which is, ‘what if were having a concert

and a train comes?’” said Konyha. “So we’ve got some work to do yet, and we’ve decided that the best thing to do is to break it into two phases.” As one of the Stellar application’s smallest projects, the current estimate is $892,680. Local funds will account for nearly 25 percent of the cost, totaling $221,644. Two hundred thousand dollars has been identified from other sources, and the gap request is $471,036, making up 53 percent of the total cost. Construction is currently scheduled to start in May 2017 and should last around

Republicans dominate local, national elections; polls record historically low voter turnout Northwest District seat, Todd Dazey defeated Jeff Snyder by 109 votes, winning out 53.7 percent to 46.29 percent. No other county races were contested. Wabash County overwhelmingly voted to retain Indiana Supreme Court Justices Rush and Massa, each receiving nearly two-thirds “yes” votes. The same was true for Court of Appeals District 4 Judge Pyle and Indiana Tax Court Judge Wentworth. Republicans in Wabash County cast 1,669 straight-party ballots. Democrats cast 364 straight-party ballots, while the Libertarian party received five straightparty votes.

scheduled when it’s most convenient for grant cycles, and when it’s most convenient for the parks department and the parks board. It is a simple enough project that it could actually happen pretty quickly.” With the city look-

VolleyKnights wind up season as state runner-up by Gary Andrews The Southwood VolleyKnights had one last game scheduled for the year Saturday and it was the state championship. The Lady Knights had won nine straight games to win the sectional, then defeated Clinton Central 3-0 for the regional title. Last Saturday Southwood won the very tough Bremen semi state by topping Adams Central 3-1 and Hammond Bishop Noll 3-2 for the semi state title. Saturday at Ball State the VolleyKnights had the task of taking on defending state champion Providence for the state title. Southwood, the 2A public school state champion hung tough, but the power hitting of Providence ended up being too much as the VolleyKnights fell 1725, 14-25, 18-25.

Providence got off to a 10-3 start in game one before the Knights shook off the championship jitters and started to go to work. Emilie Harnish would get a kill and Bailey Lundmark a block during a 5-0 run to close the gap to 108. Providence would then score 10 of the next 14 points to open a 24-15 lead before two Sami White tips kept the game alive, but one last Pioneer kill ended game one 17-25. Southwood jumped out to a 4-0 lead to start game two with Sami White serving. Kaitlyn Murphy had a kill with White scoring on an ace and a tip. Bailey Hobbs would get a kill as the Knights extended their lead to 8-3 before the Pioneer’s got hot. Providence would score 6 of the next 7 points to tie the game at 9 before a White tip and an Emilie Harnish ace made it

11-9. With Southwood up 12-10 the sleeping giant awoke as Providence went on a 10-1 run to grab a 20-13 lead on their way to the 25-14 final. Again the Lady Knights would play tough early in game three. Southwood got kills from Emilie Harnish and Sarah Peters, plus an ace from Delayne Gentry as the game was tied 9-9. Again it would be a Providence run that determined the outcome. The Pioneer’s would score 8 of the next 10 points to open an 18-11 lead and built their lead to 23-15. The never say die attitude of the VolleyKnights would make Providence earn their win as Sami White scored on a tip, followed by a kill and a block from Kaitlyn Murphy to close the gap to 24-18 before a net call on the Knights ended the game 25-18.

Grant Dirig named WHS Athlete of the Month for October GRANT DIRIG was recently named Wabash High School’s Athlete of the Month for October. Grant was nominated by Apache football coach, Floyd McWhirt. “Grant is a great kid. He works very hard and has fun doing it. He has been a great contribution to the football program for the last four years. This year, he has done a fantastic job on both sides of the ball. Grant led our secondary in interceptions and led our offense in all receiving categories. Grant will be one of the players we have to replace next year, and that will be a tall task for someone,” Coach McWhirt told The Paper. (photo provided)

North Manchester Historical Society to visit Indianapolis museums Members and guests of the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society will board a luxury coach on Dec. 2 for a trip to Indianapolis. The group will travel to the Eiteljorg Museum for a guided tour and an opportunity to view a fantastic model train exhibit, on display through January. This exhibit has seven working

trains crisscrossing the room. The real beauty of this display is in the detailed scenes of national parks and other landmarks west of the Mississippi. The displays are made entirely from natural materials. Docents and train engineers are available to answer any questions. We will go next door to the Indiana State

Museum for our lunch, followed by a guided tour of the museum. Special exhibits during December are the “John Dillinger’s 1933 Essex Terraplane Display” and “American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition.” The group will stop at Holly Hock Hill for a family style chicken dinner before heading

back to North Manchester. The trip is sponsored by the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society and M a n c h e s t e r Shepherd’s Center. For question or make a reservation, contact Bernie Ferringer, tour coordinator, at 260-9828734, 260-901-3323, or bernievicki@gmail.co m.

Klutz Well Drilling celebrates 100 years of family business...continued from page 21 my bicycle to the rig,” said Tom. “In fact, we just worked on that well. Jerry Monroe owns the property over by Servia. We hooked the well up to a building for him.” When he was old enough, Brent joined the business. “There was a short period of time that we were three generations – Brent, myself, and dad,” said Tom. In addition to being the premier well drilling company in the area, Klutz Well Drilling has played a part in shaping the industry across the state. “We’ve been active members of the Indiana Ground Water Association, and I was the president from 2005-2006,” said Brent. “We’re active members now, and they just kind of try to have our backs and try to protect the groundwater in the state of Indiana.” Safe, quality well drilling takes a tremendous amount of knowledge. The process employs many of the same principles as oil well drilling. “It’s the same principles of drilling, we’re just not drilling thousands of feet down, you know. We’re drilling hundreds of feet,” said Brent. “What we do is fairly dangerous. It’s not as dangerous as the linemen that work on the power lines, but we get into working with water and electricity all the time.” To protect well drillers like Tom and Brent, a number of special licenses are required, as is ongoing education. “The knowledge to run a rig and drill is enormous, said Tom. “Knowledge of the well business now is very technical. The technical aspects of everything are much greater.

be the future of the business for the next 100 years.” With the business in the hands of a fifth generation owner, one can only wonder if the sixth generation will soon enter the trade. “You never know,” said Brent. “I don’t know if there will be or not. I want to give them (his children) the same options that dad gave me. ‘Make your own decision.’ It’s here, its always going to be here, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not going anywhere, and they’ve got ideas of what they want to do in life, but I told my oldest son, ‘There’s

It isn’t anything like it was for me, and

I’m glad he came along, because he can understand the new electronics really well. It has changed a lot. It’s just totally different. I think the day will come where you can sit in your house in the winter or if it’s raining and run a well rig. That wouldn’t surprise me.” As the company enters its second century, Tom feels it’s time to hand the business fully over to his son. “I’m 59,” said Tom.

studied the problem soon came to realize that the cause was poverty. Head Start was launched in 1965 as a comprehensive child development program and part of Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Over the past 50 years, it has provided a beacon of hope and support to 22 million low-income children and their families across the United States. Head Start has remained strong in the face of changing political and fiscal climates over the past 50 years because it has continually improved the services it delivers to children and families and responded to the changing needs of local communities. Area Five’s Head Start program in Wabash County plays a significant role in the educational development of our children in our County. We all should be more aware of its impact and contribution to the education of our children. For more information on how you can help, call the main office in Logansport at 800-6549421; or 260-563-5666 and speak with one of the teachers for the two Head Start classrooms on Olive Street; or 260-982-7885 and speak with the teacher in the classroom at Laketon.

Timbercrest birthday party culminates celebration of 125-year history by Shaun Tilghman Timbercrest Senior Living Community residents and staff gathered in the Assembly Room last Wednesday for a very special “birthday” party, which capped off the nearly yearlong celebration of the organization’s 125th anniversary. A l t h o u g h Timbercrest has only been a part of the North Manchester community for 46 years, in reality, the organization dates back to 1889. Timbercrest kicked off celebration of their milestone during the inaugural Festival of Trees last December, followed by several other activities and events, including the Festival of Ice in February and the Summer Festival in June. While those events were geared toward getting the whole community involved, last week’s party provided a unique opportunity for those most impacted by the organization to celebrate together. “Welcome, to one final celebration of our 125th anniversary,” said T i m b e r c r e s t Administrator Dave Lawrenz. “We’re glad that so many of you came out to help us with this special birthday party. Around this day in 1889, The Old Folks and Orphans Home began its ministry in Mexico (Ind.) and James M. Corbin, age 79, bringing only a trunk and some clothes, moved into his new home and into a new family – that was a very memorable day in our history. “James was the first of many – literally thousands – who would eventually call this special place home. On that day 125 years ago, the vision of one man, Levi Miller, became a reality. A pillar of the church and a community leader, Levi had a heart for those in need; so, he boldly donated 15 acres of land and erected a 30’ x 60’ building in order to care for old folks and orphans. Although a visionary in his time, it would be impossible for him

to imagine what his kindness, his mercy, and his generosity would produce over the next 125 years. Today, we enjoy the fruits of his spirit and his efforts.” According to the Timbercrest website, the Churches of the Brethren in Indiana have a long heritage of serving older adults. While the ministry began in 1889, it was actually incorporated as The Old Folks and Orphans Home in 1891. The ministry served both children (continued on page 26)

and older adults until November of 1942, when the children’s department closed and the ministry focused solely on older adults for the first time. During the 1950s, the Board of Trustees determined that they could no longer renovate existing buildings in older to meet changing regulations. Faced with the decision to either rebuild on that site or on a new site, the board ultimately voted in favor of closing the home in Mexico and building a new facility in

North Manchester. The new Timbercrest facility, located at 2201 East Street, opened its doors in March of 1968 to the first residents transferring from the home in Mexico. Since then, Timbercrest has become a Continuing Care Retirement Community, in addition to expanding from a 26-acre to 104acre campus, which offers several levels of accommodations and care. “That’s been the point of reference for our celebration this year,” Lawrenz

November 12, 2014

explained. “We have, and rightfully so, looked back to those first days to celebrate our fortunes and our traditions. We are the beneficiaries of Levi Miller and the early pioneers that ministered to the needs of older adults. As we celebrate our origins, we would be remiss if we did not recognize the countless individuals who kept Levi’s vision and ministry alive and thriving. “Over the 125 years, countless individuals have left their imprint on this living and thriving organization. It is

abundantly clear to me that, The Old Folks and Orphans Home, The Home, The Church of the Brethren Home, Timbercrest, we are what we have become today because of people – extraordinary people, ordinary people, caring people, hardworking people, people with needs, young people, old people, wealthy people, impoverished people, strong people, frail people, faithful people, wise people, charitable people, church people, community people, neighbors, friends, and

family.” For the most part, the Timbercrest of today bears little resemblance to the original ministry in Mexico; however, the Christian heritage and values that spurred the creation of the ministry, also laid the foundation for the work that continues today. “We can only toast our 125year history, and our long, successful tradition of service to orphans and older adults, because of the efforts of many,” Lawrenz added. “It’s a wonderful success story because

of people coming together for a common purpose,” he continued, “for the purpose of providing housing and services to orphans and now older adults, for the purpose of doing good things and making good things happen. Hence, our tagline, ‘Timbercrest: Making good things happen…together’. Making good things happen began in 1889, and thankfully it continues today. “This year, we celebrate our 125-year history; it’s not a celebration of an event, but rather a celebra-

tion of people, lots of people who have been a part of Timbercrest for over a century, and who have made us what we are today. The Home has been a great blessing to many. It’s our goal, our mission, and our prayer that the Home, Timbercrest, continues to be a blessing to many more in the many years to come; so that, 125 years from now, those serving and those being served will look back fondly on all of us and appreciate our spirit and our efforts.”

THE PAPER 28 Manchester University inaugurates 15th president in Spirit of Abundance www.thepaperofwabash.com

C o r d i e r Auditorium was full Friday — an abundant response to a man who has “poured his heart and soul into Manchester University for decades,” according to Board of Trustees Chair D. Randall Brown, who presented the Presidential Medallion to Dave McFadden. McFadden was inaugurated Friday as the 15th president in the 125-year history of the University, and he spoke often during his address about abundance and gratitude. “Going forward, we will be audacious in embracing opportunity,” McFadden said. “We aim to grow our total enrollment by as many as a thousand students by the end of this decade, grounding new programs in our mission and infusing them with our values. “Why? Because the world needs more Manchester graduates. We will be a source of hope and optimism, of promise and possibility, of

ability and conviction.” The auditorium on the North Manchester campus, which seats 1,300, resounded with the anthem “Only Now,” commissioned by McFadden and composed by MU alumnus Shawn Kirchner. “Only Now” adapts excerpts from the Wendell Berry novel “Hannah Coulter”: “The world is so full, like a pregnant

November 12, 2014

woman carrying a child within her, carrying a child in one arm and leading another by the hand…. Every puddle in the lane is ringed by sipping butterflies that fly up in a flutter when you walk by.” McFadden also spoke about responsibility, describing it as “stewardship of work that has been done in the past and optimism about the promise of the future. “

THE PAPER 36 Laketon Lions hold meeting www.thepaperofwabash.com

The Laketon Lions met recently at Main View for the monthly dinner and meeting. The meeting opened in regular form by President Becky Warmuth with 11 members and one guest in attendance. A finance report was given and included a comparison reporting of attendance, income, and expenses for the annual fish fry over the past 10 years. The club was invited to participate in the second annual Festival of Trees dis-

play at Timbercrest on Dec. 5. The club will be decorating a tree again this year. A thank you note was read from International for the $100 donation to the Leaderdog Project. The club has openings for vendors for the Nov. 22 Holiday Bazaar at North Manchester United Methodist Church. Interested participants can call Diana Binkerd at 260-9826883. Members Bob and Sue Craig reported on attending a recent Lion Eye Bank dinner in Indianapolis, attended by family members of organ donors. They learned of two recipients of their grandson, Clayton Grizzle’s eyes, donated follow-

ing his tragic auto accident in 2013. They heard testimonials from many organ recipients extending their gratitude to the many families attending. Don Warmuth recently delivered 125 dictionaries to the M a n c h e s t e r Elementary third graders after they were stamped with “Compliments of Laketon Lions,” by Mary and Denise Rohrer. This is the fifth year for the club to participate in this project. The Laketon Lions club meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, except November through March, when meetings are only held the second Thursday.

Local graphic designer, Ashleigh (Kiester) Thomas, who owns and operates The Graphic Brand, collaborated with Carpenter to sift through over 200 photographs and arrange the layouts. “Working with Dale Carpenter has given me a new appreciation to stop and admire the hidden beauties within this historical town I was raised in,” said Thomas.
