Wenrich named “Distinguished Citizen” at Chamber of Commerce dinner

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com The Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall was filled with excitement on Thursday, Oct. 30 as business and community leaders gathered for the Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner. The dinner serves as both a platform for the passing of the gavel to new chamber leadership and an awards ceremony to recognize outstanding members.

The event honored Schelmmer Brothers Metalworks as Business of the Year. The night’s other big announcement had the audience on the edge of their seats, waiting to find out who would be named this year’s Distinguished Citizen.

Ron Woodward, who received the award at last year’s dinner, gave an introduction full of hints; the winner was a woman who loves dance, escaped death during a tornado in her childhood, went to Indiana University, became a doctor, married a man named Jim, had two children, has received a number of professional accolades, and helped to create 85 Hope, a “clinic that would provide hope to all citizens.”

“Please join us now as we celebrate Dr. Rose Wenrich as the 2014 Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Citizen,” said Woodward.

As those in attendance stood and applauded, more than a dozen friends and family members came out from behind stage to join Dr. Wenrich, who fought off tears to say a few words after being surprised by the award.

(photo by Eric Stearley) “I thank the chamber for this great honor,” said Wenrich, who wasn’t too choked up to inject some humor into her speech, “and I thank my husband, who is truly the wind beneath my wings…I mean literally, the wind. His nickname in

high school was windbags. He likes to talk.”

Members of the audience, particularly those who know the city councilman and former teacher, had a good laugh, but it was clear that her gratitude was sincere.

“He’s been the love of my life and brought me happiness, laughter, and 37 years together, and two great children, and I‘m so thankful,” said Wenrich. “And my wonderful family and friends…”

Lady Knights headed to State Championship

by Gary Andrews The Southwood volleyball team traveled to Bremen Saturday for the 2A volleyball semi state with the task of taking on #7 Adams Central in the opening round. Hammond Bishop Noll, a state finalist last year, waited on the winner after sweeping perennial power Muncie Burris in game one.

The Lady Knights would look good early as they grabbed a 9-7 lead when Adams Central scored three straight to grab a 9-10 lead. The Knights would hang tough though, getting kills from Sarah Peters and Bailey Hobbs and eventually took the lead back 17-16 off a Bailey Lundmark block. The Flying Jets would then grab control, scoring 7 of the next 8 points to lead the Knights 18-22 in route to a 20-25 win.

Southwood would regroup and came out swinging in game two, getting kills from Sarah Peters, Kaitlyn Murphy and Bailey Lundmark to grab a 5-3 lead. Tied at 5 Bailey Hobbs would get a kill and an ace as the Knights scored 5 of the next 7 to lead 14-9. Adams Central would claw their way back and after a 5 point run led 19-20 as an 0-2 score was starring the Knights in the face. With things looking bleak Southwood found one last breath. Down 21-23 Kaitlyn Murphy would get a kill during a 3 point run as the Knights grabbed a 24-23 lead with the Flying Jets answering to knot the score at 24. Murphy would then record another kill with Anna Rees serving an ace and just like that the Knights pulled off game two 26-24 and tied the match 1-1.

After falling behind 2-3 in game three the Knights started to take control as setter Sami

ful Students First! campaign at M a n c h e s t e r University.

“We are deeply grateful to President Switzer for her leadership,” said MU

President Dave McFadden, who presented the award Thursday on behalf of Indiana State Sen. Jim Banks, RColumbia City. Banks has been deployed to

Afghanistan for the 2015 session of the Indiana legislature.

Switzer became the first female president and 14th chief executive of Manchester University on Dec. 1, 2004.

Before her retirement in June, Switzer led a campaign to raise $100 million for the University. It blew by that goal, raising 22193

DANGER OF DIABETES Dr. Farlow

November is National Diabetes Month and Dr. Farlow encourages anyone who has, or may be at risk for, diabetes to have an annual eye exam.

“Diabetes affects 18.2 million Americans, 5.2 million of which may not even know they have the disease, “ Dr. Farlow said. “One of the health problems associated with diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, a disease of the eye which can cause blindness.”

Diabetic retinopathy can weaken and cause changes in the blood vessels that nourish the retina. Symptoms may include blurred vision, cloudiness, and/or “floaters.”

Diabetes also increases a person’s risk for developing other eye diseases. For example, persons living with diabetes are 40% more likely to develop glaucoma and 60% more likely to develop cataracts.

Enjoy Family

The early stages of diabetic retinpathy may produce no visual symptoms at all, “Dr. Farlow said. “That is why it is so important for ayone who has diabetes or a family history of diabetes to have a yearly comprehensive eye health examination. Early detection and treatment are essential because once damage has occured, the effects are usually permanent.” For that reason. we recommend that anyone with - or at risk for - diabetes have a comprehensive, dilated eye examination at least once a year.

Friends

Dr. Farlow is the owner and practitioner of Dr. Bradley A. Farlow at 144 West Hill Street, Wabash and is a member of Vision Source, the nation’s number one network of private practice optometrists. Founded in 1991, The Vision Source network includes more than 2,700 offices in all 50 states and in Canada.

By Shaun Tilghman Beacon Credit Union recently wrapped up its fourth annual Project Spotlight giving campaign and has begun distributing the monies won by local nonprofits. In North Manchester, Beacon is donating a total of $1,750 to the three charitable organizations/projects that received the most votes – Gamsby’s Project, Manchester Fellowship of Churches Food

Pantry, and One World Handcrafts, Inc. Project Spotlight is a community support program designed to discover worthwhile projects in each area that Beacon serves, according to the website. The hope is to be able to support community projects, both large and small, while also bringing awareness to the many good things happening in those communities every day.

“Project Spotlight is a charitable giving campaign that allows you to nominate local charities, not-for-profits, and community projects for the potential to earn funding from Beacon Credit Union. First, we ask community members to submit their local projects and organizations that they feel deserve support.

Then, we open the

two-month voting process and have each community vote to support their favorite organization.

With your help and participation, once the voting has ended at the end of September, we’ll donate a total of $21,000 benefiting 36 charitable organizations and projects in Northeast Indiana.”

During the first two years, Project Spotlight began the nomination process in April and a special panel then narrowed those down to three nominations per community. In 2013, the process was changed in order to allow all nominations the opportunity to receive votes. In addition, a Facebook component was implemented so that, after voting on the website, you could immediately post your vote on Facebook.

Once the voting process was completed on Sept. 30th, Project Spotlight officials reviewed the electronic and paper votes to verify the authenticity of the results, before awarding the $1,750 in each of the 12 communities.

In North M a n c h e s t e r, Gamsby’s Project received $1,000 for first place, M a n c h e s t e r Fellowship of Churches Food Pantry received $500 for second place, and One World Handcrafts, Inc. received $250 for third place.

Gamsby’s Project is a local charity that offers free visits from a service dog, named Gamsby, to hospitals, hospices, and children’s homes in the Wabash, Fort Wayne, Huntington, and North Manchester

Wabash Valley Dance Theatre invites former members to join in 50th Anniversary Christmas Ballet

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Dec. 7, the Wabash Valley Dance Theatre will take the Ford Theater stage to present its 50th A n n i v e r s a r y Christmas Ballet. The performance will also commemorate owner Vickie Lambert’s 30 years as artistic director.

“We had our first one 50 years ago, so we’re celebrating this year, having our 50th hoping to bring back

“I’ve been involved for a long, long time, so it’s all exciting,” said Lambert.

While Lambert continues to be involved with the dance theatre, Lisa Traver has taken over as artistic director for this year’s performance.

“She’s been teaching at the school for years. She’s been there for most of the time that I’ve been in charge,” said Lambert. “She’s excited, and a little nervous.”

lots of people from the past who were in the dance company and danced in previous festivals,” said Lambert.”

Lambert danced in the very first Christmas performance as a freshman in high school 50 years ago. She went on to teach under founder Pauline Geyer.

Lambert took over in 1984 after Geyer passed away and served as the school’s artistic director until this year.

During the Christmas ballet, students will dance to selections taken from performances over the past 50 years. In addition, former members returning for the event will have two opportunities to join in and celebrate the half-century of Christmas performances with a dance of their own.

Former students in town and available the day before the performance are encouraged to come to the

dress rehearsal, which will begin around 1 p.m. on Dec. 6. The group will learn a short dance, which will be performed during the recital the following day.

Those want to dance a second time can be part of a longer dance. These former students will meet to learn and practice the dance on Nov. 9, 16, and 23.

They will also take part in rehearsals on Dec. 4 and 6. Artistic

Director Lisa Traver encourages anyone interested in participating in either dance to email her at lisa4452@aol.com.

“It will be a nice day to see dancers you haven’t seen for years, that live away and are coming back for the day,” said Lambert. “I think people will enjoy sort of like a reunion.”

Lambert hopes that the community will take advantage of the opportunity to see dancers of all ages

Wenrich looked back at the group of supporters behind her, as well as her mother to her side, and paused for a moment. She then thanked them, as well as her colleagues and her patients, “who graciously let me practice on them.”

Wenrich finished her short speech with a message about and for the city of Wabash.

“In the 70s, in Bloomington, there was an artist that played the bars called Johnny Cougar, and later he went on to write a song, ‘I Was Born in a Small Town.’

John Mellencamp is who it was, and I’m so glad to be from a small town,” said Wenrich.

“I love Wabash. When I was a little girl, we preformed on this stage, and there was always magic at Christmas…Wabash is a wonderful town with a great heart, a great generosity, and there really is magic here.”

Schlemmer Brothers came up, because we knew they were exactly the kind of business that we wanted to honor,” said Agness.

In addition to the company’s growth and change over the course of the last century, Agness talked about the business’ impact on the community. In addition to a remodeled storefront on the corner of Canal and Miami streets, the company has fabricated a number of items installed downtown through public art projects, including the new bike racks and the awning and table installed at Veterans

S c h l e m m e r Brothers Metalworks was named Business of the Year in early September, so unlike Wenrich’s award, this one was not a surprise. The dinner gave the company a chance to show the community what it does and thank those who have made it possible.

Outgoing Board Chair Lance Agness gave the Business of the Year’s introduction.

“When we started talking about our Business of the Year and who we should select, we sat down and started throwing names out, and it was amazing to me how quickly the conversation ended when

“I don’t know what more Wabash could ask for, other than a growing company that’s stayed in town for over 100 years; they give back to the community, serve as a great employer…you can’t ask for more than that!” said Agness.

With that, he welcomed fourth generation owner Kent Henderson to the stage.

Henderson began by thanking a number of people, including his wife, Julie, the chamber, and his employees.

“We currently have 20 [employees] with the company, and I’m extremely grateful to them for their efforts, and I’m proud of the professionalism and courtesy they extend daily to our customers,” said H e n d e r s o n .

“Schlemmer Brothers

is nothing but the sum total of these fine individuals.

“Thanks also to our customers and suppliers…some of whom have been doing business with our company for decades, and a few of whom can trace their business association with Schlemmer Brothers back to a point early in the last century,” Henderson continued.

He also noted that, with the addition of his son and daughter to the business, Schlemmer Brothers is now in its fifth generation; his daughter made many of the metal leaves featured as part of the banquet tables’ centerpieces.

“With respect to business philosophy, I’ve always believed that to be a success in business, one should reserve for oneself a living wage and then (continued on page 10)

take the stage and entertain.

“I just encourage them to come. I think arts are extremely important…so were trying to keep art alive in Wabash. I just think it’s great for people to participate and support the arts.”

The performance is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. on Dec. 7 at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. Former members can also keep in touch through the Wabash Valley Dance Theatre’s Facebook page.

ters telling them what their current crop bases are along with their current counter cyclical payment yields. They were told to review the information and contact their local FSA office with questions.

Landowners could first visit their local FSA office on Sept. 29 to decide whether to keep their current base acreage or reallocate their bases.

Reallocation looks at what was grown on the farm in 2009 – 2012 and calculates a new crop base off of those planted acres. The landowner has until Feb. 27, 2015 to make this decision. Since many landowners head south for the winter, FSA encourages an office visit before leaving.

Landowners are also being given an opportunity to increase the payment yields on their farms.

FSA will use actual production for years 2008-2012 to calculate a new payment yield.

If the calculated yield is higher than the current yield in FSA records the higher yield will be used for potential program payments in years 2014-2018. The same Feb. 27, 2015 deadline applies for this opportunity.

Landowners wanting to review these program options can contact the Wabash County FSA office at 260-563-3145, or stop by the office at 599 Bryan Ave. in Wabash. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through

Dow AgroSciences donation benefits Indiana teens Brodbeck Seeds presented a $25,000 donation to White’s Residential and Family Services at a ceremony in September to support the facility’s Greenhouse Project.

The donation came from Dow AgroSciences on behalf of Brodbeck Seeds to support community success.

“White’s is wellknown in the Wabash community for helping Indiana teens,” says Doug Rice, Brodbeck Seeds general manager. “We are pleased the donation will help them continue the great work they do for our community and the state.”

White’s Residential and Family Services has been in the Wabash community for over 160 years.

They are committed to helping redirect, rebuild and restore troubled teens.

White’s residential program serves 140 students, 16-years-old and older, each year.

“Our residents come to us from different backgrounds, situations and hardships and we help prepare them to be successful adults when they leave,” says Dee Gibson, White’s chief executive officer.

“Everything we do to prepare them is based on vocational, educational and spiritual

guidance and training.”

The donation to the Greenhouse Project was used to relocate a modern, state-of-theart greenhouse from Marshall, Mich. to White’s campus in Wabash, Ind. The greenhouse will be used to teach residents how to successfully grow plants from start to finish, as well as give them real-life work experience.

“The greenhouse will help our residents learn work readiness skills that they can take with them when they leave, such as showing up on time and understanding the value of a day’s work,” Gibson says.

Christ United Methodist Church to hold mini bazaar

Christ United Methodist Church, located at 477 N. Wabash Street, will be holding a mini bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Homemade noodles, angel food cakes and baked goods will be on sale. Annie's Attic items will also be available.

That evening, they will also be hosting their Harvest Dinner from 4-6:30 p.m.

Chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, green beans apple sauce, rolls, cookie and a beverage will be served. Tickets are $7 for adults and $4 for children aged 4 to 10.

Carry out is also available.

Agriculture is part of White’s history, Gibson says. When the facility opened in 1850, residents received vocational training on a fully functional farm on the campus. More recently, residents have grown and tended plants in a greenhouse to learn technical skills.

The new greenhouse will help White’s grow more plants, more efficiently. The greenhouses are used to produce floral arrangements and plants to decorate White’s campus, as well as poinsettias to give to donors and neighbors in the Wabash community around Christmas.

The Oct. 11 meeting was brought together

by President Neil Stalker. There were 22 members present as well as two guests.

This being the start of our new year, dues were collected from 19 members.

Mike Niccum showed a wine shelf made from Walnut, which had very intricate cuts; it was a very

good show of workmanship. Steve Kelley showed his new shop cabinet for storing his small tools. He made it from several types of wood, including a lot of scraps from his show. He also provided everyone with the plans. Marvin Wright then discussed the Caboose project, which several members worked on this

summer. He is now trying to record the total number of hours that it took to complete the project.

Donald Knight from Marion was the guest speaker for the October meeting. He shared a story from his youth; his dad was into woodworking, and he bought Don a Shopsmith, but Don had to pay for it out of

his own pocket. He is still using it today. He showed a number of different items he had made in his shop, most of which were made with his Shopsmith. A number of the items were made from several different types of wood.

Some pieces featured wood that had been glued together, turned on the Shopsmith,

separated, turned inside out, glued back together, and finished. We thank Don for bringing his craftsmanship to share with us.

Elections also took place during the October meeting.

Steve Hoover volunteered to take the office of treasurer.

Jim McCann was nudged for secretary, which was approved by show of hands. Bill Palmer offered to take the vice president position, and Bill Harmsen was named president for the coming year.

Members were then asked for discussion topic suggestions for future meeting. The group also thanked Neil Stalker for his work on the board for the past several years, most recently as president of the Wabash Valley Saw Dust Gang.

MCS Administrators present School Improvement Plans Focus is on new testing formats

By Shaun Tilghman During the Oct. 7 M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools (MCS) Board of Trustees meeting, the district’s three building level administrators presented their goals and expectations in terms of their annual School Improvement Plans.

Each administrator discussed ways in which his/her school’s respective goals are similar to those from previous years, but then also presented reasons for why certain aspects of those goals either have changed or might need changed in the future.

The biggest factor impacting those changes is the new ISTEP+ (Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational ProgressPlus) format that will be unveiled during the spring 2015 testing period. While the exam is new to the Indiana thirdthrough eighth-grade students it will test, it is also new to those students’ instructors, which has caused widespread concern.

This new exam will reflect the state’s new College and Career Readiness (CCR) standards for math and English that were recently adopted to replace the national Common Core standards. In addition, the test will also diverge from its traditional, multiple-choice style format.

Although the inaugural test is to serve as an initial assessment and will then be altered for next year based on the results, the exam will still test this year’s takers based on the new standards. In addition, the state will once again administer the IREAD-3 (Indiana Reading Evaluation And Determination) assessment, which tests third-graders on d i f f e r e n t English/Language Arts skills than those on the ISTEP+ exam and must be passed to move on to fourth grade.

M a n c h e s t e r Elementary School (MES) Principal Wes Mullett stated that his School Improvement Plan would be a yearlong process.

“In the past, my academic goals for my School Improvement Plan were just three numbers,” Mullett said. “It was the two ISTEP+ passing scores, which I wanted to be 90 percent, and with MES thirdgraders having to take the IREAD-3 exam, I set a passing goal of 95 percent for that. So, the numbers for me have always been 90, 90, and 95, and if we hit those numbers then we thought we were putting our students in a good position and representing our community well, because those are high numbers compared to the state average.

“Last year, we were at 97 percent [of third-

graders passing the IREAD-3] but I’m going to keep the goal at 95 percent because if we keep going up it may get pretty hard to attain. Our kids have shown excellent testing skills and done well on that test. With the ISTEP+ scores, things are a little different this year. We don’t quite know what the test is going to look like, so 90 percent passing may be too lofty a goal for our third-graders. Thus, the MES goal for Language Arts and math on the ISTEP+ test is simply to be above the state average. I think that’s a good starting point right now as far as data, especially since we don’t know what it’s going to look like.”

Mullett went on to say that the Acuity test they’re taking this year is also somewhat different. “Last year, it was a predictive test, so it tried to give you a percentage of how well your kids in a class were going to do on the ISTEP+ test,” he added.

“We just finished the math for the new Acuity test,” Mullett continued, “and it is no longer a predictive test, it is a readiness test, and it is mapped out to the College and Career Readiness standards. Right now, the MES passing rate for math is 44 percent; but there are some factors that go into this.

“The rigor of the test is a little different, and in two conversations with the

Department of Education since we started testing, a couple of things I’ve heard is that the rigor is going to remain the same, whereas last year it got progressively harder. So, we’re hoping a little sigh of relief can be let out by our teachers, but what we’re seeing now from the test and samples from the Acuity Language Arts test, is that the amount of rigor is much more difficult than what we’ve seen

in the past. That is kind of what has prompted MES to be at or above the state average, so that’s where we’re going to start right now.”

M a n c h e s t e r Intermediate School (MIS) Principal Randy Self informed the board that the two goals for his school are very similar to what they were last year.

“Once again, kind of like Wes said, the first two parts of it are the

English/Language Arts and math of ISTEP+,” said Self.

“The state has set a goal of 90 percent, and I went back and forth on this since we’ve achieved that 90 percent in math but are still working to get there in Language Arts, but in the end I chose to leave our goal at 90 percent.

“I guess one of the frustrating things for me is that, just when we start to have it figured out and we’re working toward a

goal, they change the rules for us. So, based on the fact that we don’t know what that test is going to look like, we’re still going to aim for that 90 percent. That’s where we’d like to be, and if we can achieve it great, but if not then we’ll see what progress we’re making towards that.”

Self went on to say they are optimistic that the addition of the STAR Reading assessment this year (continued on page 12)

MCS Administrators present School Improvement Plans... continued from page 11 will help with the Language Arts portion. “We’re using that now and it’s helping our students pick out books based on reading levels,” he added, “but it’s also giving us some good data as far as what reading strategies those students need.”

“Our second goal once again applies to the STAR Reading assessment,” explained Self, “because we are continuing to develop our RtI (Response to Intervention) program. It’s a systematic plan for students if

they’re struggling, whatever area they’re struggling in, trying to identify them, figuring out what specific needs they have and then developing instruction for them.

Continuing that program – specifically tuning in on those students and the skills they need – is our second goal.”

Principal Nancy Alspaugh wrapped things up by discussing the new test and how it affects the School Improvement Plans at Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School (MJSHS).

“The state has started to release information on the format of the new test, and there are a lot of dropdown screens that the students are going to need to know how to operate in order to make their choices from those dropdowns,” said Alspaugh. “There are also some sections of the new test where students are going to have to actually drag their answer choice into a spot in the question. I’ve stressed to

our teachers that we need to change the format of our assessments so that students become familiar and comfortable doing that on their exam. After all, in the end we know it’s not just about knowing the content, but it’s also about knowing how to navigate the test.”

Once she had given insight on how they will approach the new test format, Alspaugh went on to present the three goals for MJSHS. “Our three goals this year are very similar to the goals we’ve had in the past,” she explained.

“We did choose to change our first goal so that it reflects our M C S English/Language Arts goal, which is to meet or exceed the state average scores in seventh grade, eighth grade, and on the English 10 ECA (End of Course Assessment).”

According to Alspaugh, the second goal always reflects their desire to keep the graduation rate at

90 percent or higher.

“That’s an important score for us on our school-wide letter grade,” she added.

“Right along with that,” Alspaugh continued, “we want to make sure that our CCR (College and Career Readiness) score is also as high as it can be, or should be, so that we achieve maximum points on our school-wide letter grade there as well. In the past, we’ve always wanted to have that score above 25 percent, and we certainly have achieved that.

Last year our score was 58 percent, and we accredit that not only to our Advanced Placement and Dual Credit programs at the high school, but also the Dual Credit program at Heartland Career Center.

“Our third goal always reflects that we want to maintain a safe and positive environment for our students. In looking at bullying prevention and reduction in school suspensions and expulsions, we’re making sure that we’re doing everything we can at our school to provide a safe environment for both students and staff.”

Following the administrators’ presentations, the MCS Board voted unanimously to approve their School Improvement Plans.

U.S. Navy veteran

Liam Martin

Sept. 9, 1926 – Oct. 16, 2014 John L. Ford, Jr. passed away Oct. 16. He was born in Wabash, to John L. Ford, Sr. and Kathryn Ebbinghouse Ford on Sept. 9, 1926. John was a loving husband, father and valued member of his extended family and friends. His quiet, confident, positive attitude towards life and those he met will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

John graduated from Wabash High School in three and a half years in early 1944 at age 17. He wanted to join the Navy immediately but his father insisted he go to Purdue for one semester.

Then he’d sign a release. John was in the Navy for two years, came back to Purdue and graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. He came with The Ford Meter Box Company, married Betty Addington, and they had three children, Christopher, David and Barbara. John, Betty and family moved to Dallas in 1953 and John was the first sales representative the company had west of the Mississippi River. John put 50,000 or more miles on a car every year traveling from California east to Louisiana.

John later married Ellen Oldaker and relocated to Phoenix, Ellen’s home. But John continued to cover much of the west calling mostly on stocking distributors until Ford Meter Box started to hire new representatives in the late 60s and 70s. Most of John’s travel then was by air. The company was without a foreign sales representative for a period of time, and John studied Spanish and made many trips to Latin America.

In his later years, his love of the musical arts led him to become a principal supporter of the Phoenix Symphony, the Phoenix Chorale, and the Phoenix Ballet. He supported the Central United Methodist Church as an usher, volunteer groundskeeper, and financial supporter for 40 years.

He is survived by his wife, Ellen Ford; sister-in-law, Jo Oldaker; sisters, Elizabeth Sayman, Louise Leander, and Helen Trask; children, Chris, David, and Barbara Ford; five grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Services were held at the Central United Methodist Church, 1875 North Central Ave., Phoenix, on Oct. 25.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Phoenix Symphony, the Phoenix Ballet, the Phoenix Chorale, or the Central United Methodist Church in Phoenix.

Grace Barker, 86 Member of the Baptist Church Nov. 6, 1927 – Oct. 31, 2014 Grace A. Barker, 86, Wabash, died at 5:09 p.m., Friday, Oct. 31, at Miller’s Merry Manor East in Wabash. She was born Nov. 6, 1927 in Banner, Va. to Neil and Edith (Kaiser) Burton.

Simpson, Wabash; four grandchildren, Carl Dewayne Simpson, Wabash; Matt Barker, North Manchester; Daniel Barker, Huntington; and Amanda Smith, Syracuse; six great grandchildren, and two great, great grandchildren.

Lady Knights headed to State Championship... continued from front page White fed Emilie Harnish and Bailey Lundmark, building the lead to 14-11. The Knights were cruising and led 23-16 when Adams Central found a 4 point run to cut the lead to 23-20, but kills from Sarah Peters and Kaitlyn Murphy won game three 25-20 and just like that the Knights went from trailing 01 to being a game away with a match up with Noll.

Southwood led 5-4 in game four when the Flying Jets scored 4 straight to lead 5-8 and held the lead until 14-15 when Southwood took off.

Emilie Harnish slammed a kill that started a 6-1 run to give Southwood a 2016 lead. Harnish had 2 kills and an ace during the run with Bailey Lundmark getting two kills.

South Adams would regroup and had the Southwood lead cut to 22-21 when Sarah Peters killed to stop the run and give the Knights a 23-21 lead.

Kaitlyn Murphy would then make it 24-21 with a kill to set up match point when Bailey Hobbs blocked a Flying Jet kill shot to win game four 25-21 and the match 3-1.

After defeating Adams Central the VolleyKnights then had the task of taking on Hammond Bishop Noll who was in the state championship game last year and still had plenty of fire power coming back from that team.

The Knights shocked Noll coming out of the gate, grabbing a 6-0 lead with Sami White serving.

Sarah Peters had a block and a kill during the fast start. As good teams do, Noll gathered themselves and started their comeback with a 5-0 run and scored 8 of the next 10 points to tie the score at 8. The Knights would go to Emilie Harnish and Kaitlyn Murphy to take a 12-10 lead when Noll scored 6 straight and 9 of the next 10 to lead Southwood 13-19.

Down 16-23 Emilie Harnish would get two kills along with an ace from Bailey Hobbs to cut the lead

to 19-23, but Noll scored the last two to win game one 19-25.

A Tom Finicle team will never back down and although seeming to be out gunned, showed grit in game two.

Trailing 0-2 the Knights would get a block from Bailey Hobbs and a kill from Sarah Peters to score 4 straight and led 4-2.

Noll would come back to grab a 7-8 lead when the Knights took advantage of a few Noll errors and it was game on with Southwood leading 10-8. Tied at 12, once again Noll would run, scoring 4 straight to go up 1216. Two Murphy kills made it 16-17 when Noll flexed their muscle.

The Warriors would score 7 of the next 9 points to lead 18-23.

The Knights would then get a kill from Lundmark and Peters to make it 2023, but a Noll kill made it game point at 20-24. It was gut check time for the Knights and oh what guts they had. Sarah Peters would get the Knights going with a kill that was followed by a Warrior error and a Delayne Gentry ace to make it 23-24, forcing a Noll time out. Coming out of the time out

another Noll error tied the score at 24 when Murphy gave Southwood a 25-24 lead with a kill. Tied at 25, Noll would serve the ball out of bounds, then get called for a carry to give Southwood a 2725 win and the tide was turning.

In game three the Knights led early on the backs of Murphy and Peters, but the Warriors found hard hitter Carly Cappello numerous times as they gradually built their lead to 18-22.

The Knights would have one more run during game three, scoring 4 straight with Bailey Lundmark getting a kill to tie the score at 22, but Cappello was to much as Noll won game three 23-25 and led 1-2.

Although Noll won game three and led 12, one could sense they were starting to tire. With the game tied at 6 the Knights started to show their endurance. Emilie Harnish would get a kill that started a 4-0 run to grab a 10-6 lead and built the lead to 12-7. Noll cut the lead to 12-10 but the Knights were determined to see a game 5. Feeding Harnish and Murphy, plus taking advantage of Noll errors the Knights

would use a 7-0 run on their way to a 2516 win and force a game five for the right to play for a state championship.

Noll would grab a 2-4 lead on 3 quick kills but their punches were not as hard and the Knights knew it. Going to Emilie Harnish and forcing errors the Knights would score 8 of the next 12 points to open a 10-8 lead. Noll would answer though, going on a 1-4 run and taking a 11-12 lead, but again it was Harnish with a kill.

After a Noll carry and a 4 hit call Southwood led 14-13 and had game point when their block went out of bounds to tie the score at 14.

With Noll serving, a good reception led to Sami White setting up Emilie Harnish for a kill and a 15-14 lead. On the serve the Knight defense answered once more with White finding Sarah Peters who hammered home the winner for a 16-14 win and a trip to the state championship game next Saturday at Ball State.

With a grant from the Community Foundation of Wabash County, Wabash High School will host the first annual Wabash County College and Career Fair. The event brings together representatives from more than 30 colleges, universities, trade schools, unions, and the Armed Forces. Students will browse college and career literature and learn about requirements for various career paths, including traditional college and industry standard certification programs.

In a combined effort to increase college and career-readiness in Wabash County, all area junior and senior high school students are invited and encouraged to attend the daytime event. The College and Career Fair will be held on Wednesday, November 12 from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. at Wabash High School.

The Community Foundation will be available to help students learn how to apply for local scholarships established by generous donors and administered by the Foundation and how to complete the College

Costs Estimator, a free online program to demonstrate financial need, which is a requirement of many scholarships.

The Indiana Youth Institute, headquartered in Indianapolis, will introduce students to “Trip to College,” an online planning app that helps students explore career interests and training requirements.

Information will also be available for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and the Wabash County Promise.

“Students have lots of options today. Some will go to traditional college. Some are on a pathway to a trade.

These days both options require education and training after high school to be successful,” says Joe Kaufman, Guidance Counselor of Wabash Junior Senior High School. “The nearest college fairs for Wabash County students were held in Peru and Fort Wayne this year. We wanted to give local families an easyto-attend, informationfilled event during the school day that every-

one could participate in.”

Organizations in attendance include: Alexandria School of S c i e n t i f i c Therapeutics, Ancilla College, Art Institute, Baker College, Ball State University, Bethel College, Carpenter’s Union, Franklin College, Grace College, Hanover College, Harrison College, H u n t i n g t o n University, Indiana Tech, Indiana Wesleyan, IPFW, IUPUI, Ivy Tech, Lincoln Tech, M a c A l l i s t e r M a c h i n e r y , Manchester University, Michigan Institute of Aviation and Technology, Midwest Technical Institute, Oakland City University, Spring Arbor University, Saint Joseph’s College, University of Indianapolis, University of Northwest Ohio, University of Saint Francis, Vincennes University, Wabash Fire Department, Wells Fargo Bank, and more.

Celebrating its 60th year, the Community Foundation of Wabash County awards nearly $1 million in grants

Local author draws inspiration from beloved cat Scooter

by Shaun Tilghman Claypool resident Sue Baker never dreamed of being a writer, but then a special kitten came into her life and changed everything. Now, the Manchester High School graduate has published her third children’s book, which is expected to come out in December.

“This all started with me and my husband (Matt) finding a kitten in our backyard,” said Sue. “The kitten was too young to be left alone, so we ended up having to bottle-feed her. It was the same week as our 25th anniversary, and instead of going on a trip, we stayed home and took turns bottlefeeding her until she was strong enough that we could leave her by herself.

“We ended up having to teach her how to eat solid food and how to use the litter box because her mother wasn’t there to show her. Her siblings ended up surviving under a boat at the neighbors and became barn cats. So, that’s where the story really started unfolding in my mind. It was a couple years after we found her when I actually started writing the story down.”

Sue and Matt found the kitten, which they named Scooter, in 2005, but it wasn’t until 2008 that she decided the story would make a good children’s book.

According to Sue, Matt likes to write and is very good with children, so he helped her with the wording in order to make it work for the target audience.

Once Sue finished her manuscript, she realized that she didn’t really know what to do with it; so, she put it away and didn’t do anything with it for about eight months. Then, early in 2009, she decided to research publishing options.

“I got on the Internet and searched for publishers because I had no idea how any of that worked,” Sue explained. “I also researched complaints against publishers because I definitely didn’t want to deal with anybody that had problems (continued from page 32)

like that.

Tate Publishing looked pretty reputable, so I thought I would try them.

“I sent the first manuscript in, but after about two weeks I still hadn’t heard anything, and I was hoping they hadn’t dismissed it too

Local author draws inspiration from beloved cat Scooter... continued from page 31 quickly. But, soon after that I received a contract for the first book. I’ve talked to other authors that had to try several different publishers and were turned down several times before being published, so I was very fortunate.”

The first book, Scooter: The Little Black Kitty with the White Spot, was published in early 2010.

Later that year, Sue finished her second manuscript and sent it to Tate Publishing and Enterprises, LLC. “We had an idea where we wanted the story to go after the first book, but between the first book being published and the edits for the second book, Scooter got sick and died very suddenly,” she said.

“That was just about the end of the series, because I really didn’t know if I could go on with it. After a little time though, I decided that I had too much invested and I couldn’t let it go.

“So, I finished the second book and I decided I would also like to have a stuffed animal made that looked like Scooter, as well as some t-shirts, backpacks, towels, and

other stuff like that. I found out that I would need a trademark for all that since I hadn’t gotten one on the book series itself. When I applied for the trademark I found out I could have it on the tshirts and other products but not on the book series, because someone else had a similar trademark.”

Sue went on to say that the trademark issue was the second time the series almost came to an abrupt end.

But, they did a little research, and Matt eventually designed a trademark that included the image of the Scooter character with a globe and the wording: Scooter’s World. “It’s an intentto-use trademark, so as long as I prove that I’m using it then hopefully they will grant it,” Sue added.

“The second book came out in 2011, and from then until September 2013 we were in the process of proving use for the trademark,” she continued.

“After the second book was completely done, and the trademark process seemed to be going well, that’s when I started on the third book. It was also last September when I

started working on the stuffed animal, which took until May to finish because it’s basically like publishing a book with all of the phases you have to go through and approvals you have to get.”

Sue now has a website where she sells her books, the stuffed animal, and other products related to the Scooter series. “Cottage Creations in North Manchester also has all of my books and the stuffed animal on sale – they’ve been really helpful there,” she said. “Plus, Tammy Seifert and Scott Eberly have both been very helpful with tshirts and embroidery work as well.”

Sue appreciates the support she has received locally, especially since she has lived in the area all her life. Her husband grew up in Wabash and moved to North Manchester later in life, but he too graduated from Manchester High School.

“Matt is very supportive and very active in this with me,” she explained. “He even dresses up in a cat outfit and goes with me to schools and

Timing is everything when it comes to replacement of your current heating/cooling system. Replacement on your time schedule rather than in an emergency situation makes perfect sense, so why tempt Murphy’s Law? With the propane gas shortage and very high price of propane, now is the perfect time to consider a Hybrid system or Geothermal heating/ cooling system for your home.

“We bought geothermal because of the energy savings. We received a $1,500* rebate for switching from gas to electric and the system qualified for a 30% Federal Energy Tax Credit. The geothermal system actually will end up costing us less than other systems we considered.”

book signings and stuff like that. I really enjoy getting to talk to young students because, when I was a kid I didn’t do that great in school, so when I go to schools I try to stress to the kids that they can do anything they put their mind to.”

Sue has visited many local schools, in addition to schools in the Fort Wayne area, to introduce her books to young readers. She has also participated in several book signings, including one at a Barnes & Noble in South Bend.

“I didn’t have any writing experience before this and I never aspired to be a writer, it was really just the kitten and her story that brought it out in me,” Sue stated. “A lot of what’s in the books is based on stuff that actually happened. So, in the first book I find her and in the second book (Scooter’s New Home) she meets her siblings.

“There were places where we had to use our imagination since we didn’t exactly know what happened, but most of it is based on real stuff. She did actually eat my shoestring and we went to see Dr. Overmyer at Manchester Vet Clinic when that happened.

He is actually the doctor in the third book (Scooter’s Big Surprise) and he even wrote an endorsement that is included inside the front of the book.”

In addition to Cottage Creations, Sue’s books are also available online and have an audio book download, which includes the story being read aloud, plus sound effects and music. The third book in the series is scheduled to come out in December, but Sue isn’t positive where things will go after that.

“When we first started, we were planning on five books,” she concluded. “But, everything has kind of drug out longer than expected and the kids that started out with Scooter are getting a little too old to continue reading the series. So, we combined some of the stories to have more of the story told in fewer books. I’d still like to have a Christmas book, but we’ll have to see.”

Applications for Winter Energy Assistance programs have begun Households in need encouraged to contact NIPSCO Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) is partnering again this year with state agencies and other organizations to help connect families struggling to pay their heating bills this winter with available assistance funds. Enrollment for the federal low-income energy assistance program begins on Monday, Nov. 3, 2014.

Assistance programs include: •Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Program: LIHEAP support is available to households falling within 150 percent of federal poverty guidelines. Between December 1 and March 15, Indiana natural gas utilities do not disconnect service to customers enrolled in LIHEAP who are behind on their bills.

•NIPSCO Customer Assistance for Residential Energy (CARE) Discount Program: The NIPSCO CARE Discount Program is designed

to provide further bill reductions to LIHEAP-eligible customers.

Once enrolled in LIHEAP, customers are automatically enrolled in the program.

•NIPSCO Hardship Program: For customers just outside the federal poverty guidelines for LIHEAP, the NIPSCO Hardship Program offers up to $400 in gas bill assistance to households between 151-200 percent of the federal poverty level.

While NIPSCO has among the lowest residential gas bills in Indiana and has projected lower gas costs than last winter, payment assistance programs help give a greater sense of secu-

rity to customers experiencing financial difficulties.

“Energy assistance programs are essential to families in need as winter approaches,” said NIPSCO Vice President of Customer Operations Debora Owen.

“Funding is limited, so we encourage customers experiencing financial difficulties to contact us as soon as possible.”

NIPSCO Customer Care Agents trained to help connect customers with available funds are available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT at 1-800-4NIPSCO (1-800464-7726).

Propane Industry forecasts are positive heading into winter PERC reports propane supplies are up and propane providers, homeowners are prepared

The propane industry is reporting a positive winter outlook as officials prepare to brief governors at the

M i d w e s t e r n G o v e r n o r ’ s Association Propane Meeting today in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Last week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration released its ShortTerm Energy and Winter Fuels Outlook.

The report projected warmer winter temperatures and a 34 percent reduction in heating bills for propaneheated homes in the Midwest this season compared with last winter.

The report also showed propane stocks in the Gulf Coast and Midwest were 10 million barrels, or 17 percent higher, than last year for the same period, and overall propane production is up 12 percent from the previous year. “These are positive signs,” said Roy Willis, president and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council, “but our

industry is working hard to ensure our customers are prepared.

Propane retailers across the country remain focused on safety and encouraging customers to consider early fills, automatic refills, and payment programs now before cold weather hits.”

PERC launched a $5.5 million consumer safety and preparedness campaign in early September directing residential heating customers and agribusiness operators, among others, to propanecomfort.com On the site, propane customers can take a quiz to determine if they are prepared for winter and review energy efficiency tips.

Visitors can also sign up for news updates from PERC. “Preliminary numbers

for the campaign show that nearly 20,000 customers have already taken advantage of our online resources and we expect to see continued engagement as we get closer to winter,” said Willis. Television ads will continue to air through Thanksgiving in 30 states most affected by deliverability challenges and temporary price increases last winter.

Willis says the PERC

is also continuing to drive investments in new technology that will even out seasonal demands during winter months.

“We’re remaining focused on monitoring the seasonal demand for propane and implementing strategies to even out yearly demand. That includes commercializing new technologies that run on clean, American-made propane.”

Protect your pipes from polar vortex Recently, HVAC professionals at Ferguson Enterprises provided tips to protect your pipes from polar vortex.

1.Know what type of pipes you have – While newer homes built in recent years tend to be constructed with nonmetal pipes such as, PVC, CPVC or PEX, many homes were and are still being built with copper, brass or steel piping – which are most at risk in freezing temperatures.

2.Insulation is not enough – Just because pipes are coated with what you think is a thick layer of insulation, doesn’t mean you’re in the clear.

Insulation only acts like a blanket, it does not stop the loss of

heat, it slows down the loss of heat. If there is not a heat source, eventually it will acclimate to the environment’s temperature.

When temperatures consistently drop below freezing, it is best to apply a heat wrap to exposed pipes underneath insulation.

A recommended product for the average consumer that’s specifically designed for this cause is the Raychem Gardian PreAssembled Heating Cable, which functions as simple as a plug-andplay.

3.Identify the location of the water valve – In the case of a pipe freeze where you cannot spot the troubled area of exposed pipe, it is best to shut off the water so that water pressure doesn’t build up and cause a pipe burst and flood.

4.Other helpful precautions – -For snowbirds and seasonal homes- If you’re going on a trip, make sure to bleed the pipes and drain the water system before you take off.

-Thermostats such as the Honeywell Redlink Thermostat can send email notifications when the temperature of your home drops to an alarming low. It can also be linked to several water detection systems that can send alerts for flooding.

-For the hibernators –Let the water run – keeping a small flow of water streaming during consistent freezing temperatures can help prevent frozen pipes.

9 ways to conserve energy this winter Conserving energy in the winter is a concern for many men and women. Whether your goal is to save energy and do your part for the environment or to trim a few dollars from your winter utility bills, here are 9 ways to reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort this winter.

1. Have the furnace serviced. You can reduce furnace fuel consumption by as much as 10 percent by having the system serviced yearly.

Late spring or early autumn is a good time to schedule an inspection and have filters replaced in forced-air systems.

All radiators and other elements should be kept free of dust.

2. Remedy drafty windows. Drafty windows not only let cold air in, but also let warm air out. This is a one-two punch in terms of energy waste, forcing heating units to work harder to regulate a consistent temperature. Caulking and weatherstripping applications are easy doit-yourself projects. If windows are old and especially drafty, consider replacement. If such an undertaking will stretch your budget, use tightly sealed plastic sheeting to insulate drafty windows until you can afford to replace them.

3. Address additional leaks. Windows and doors are not the only places where cold air can get in or warm air can escape. Leaks occur around pipes and plumbing penetrations to the home, and cold air also can enter through utility cut-throughs,

light plates and outlets.

Use insulation or weatherstripping to seal leaks in these areas.

4. Make use of the sun. In the winter, the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays are not as powerful as during other seasons. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due to the tilt of the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s axis. However, you can still maximize daylight time for warmth. Open curtains and drapes on southernfacing windows and let warm sunlight shine through. Then close the curtains again when evening falls. You may be able to turn down the heat during the day when the sun is warming your home.

5. Use fireplaces properly. Fireplaces can be unnecessary sources of drafts and leaks. Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is burning. Keeping the damper open is like keeping a window wide open during the winter, allowing warm air to go right up the chimney.

When the fireplace is in use, reduce heat loss by opening dampers in the bottom of the firebox or open the nearest window slightly and close doors leading into the room. If your fireplace is more decorative than functional, keep the damper closed at all times and consider sealing the chimney.

6. Conduct an energy audit. A home energy audit, also known as a home energy assessment, is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate which measures you can take to make your home more energy-efficient. Many times these government-

sponsored programs are free, and an auditor will go through your home with a fine-toothed comb looking for potential energy losses. After the audit is conducted, you can choose which repairs or modifications make the most sense for your budget and needs.

7. Adjust the direction of your ceiling fan blades. Blades that spin clockwise will trap heat inside to keep your rooms warmer during the cooler months.

Adjust your ceiling fan to a low setting to gently push hot air back down.

8.

Wear warmer clothes. Layer clothing

when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the house to reduce the need to adjust the heat. A sweater, pair of thick socks and a throw blanket can keep you cozy.

9. Only heat the rooms you use. Close off venting or turn off radiators in spaces that are not in use. There is no point in heating unoccupied rooms.

Any modifications you make to insulation, window drafts, thermostats, and HVAC systems are not just beneficial for the winter, but they also should help you save money and energy in the summer, too.

Alpha Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma holds meeting

The Alpha Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, educational honor society, met Sept. 13 at Grace Lutheran Church in Columbia City. Women educators from Huntington, Wabash, and Whitley Counties make up the Alpha Zeta chapter.

Melanie Park, Indiana Teacher of the Year for 2012, presented the program. Mrs. Park is a veteran teacher in Huntington County, now teaching middle school reading at Riverview. She presented many ideas about celebrating teaching, honoring Hoosier educators, and uplifting the teaching profession.

She stressed that teachers change lives, making a difference every day.

She urged retired teachers to mentor the younger teachers and help be an advocate for those still teaching.

She suggested that teachers ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can I serve?â&#x20AC;? when teaching children and to always do what is right for the kids.

Linda Sutton reported that the chapter project for this biennium will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feeding Hungry Children.â&#x20AC;?

Money will be collected

at each meeting and will be given to the program in each of our three counties that provides food backpacks to send home with needy children every weekend. The agency in each county will receive a donation during the year.

The next meeting will be Saturday, Nov. 8 at 8:30 a.m. at the Huntington County Library with Ann Ambler as hostess. The program will be about sustaining the pride/renewing the dedication. A fundraising activity for the international projects donation will be held.
