MSD School Board candidates talk Common Core, consolidation at forum

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Monday, Oct. 6, four school board candidates for the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County met at Bachelor Creek Church of Christ at 7 p.m. for a public forum, hosted by Citizens Committed to the Constitution (C3). The five-member board has two seats open for the Nov. 4 election. Currently, there is a board member from each of the northwest, northeast, and south districts. The board can have, at most, two members from the same district, which effectively breaks this year’s election into two separate races. Only one candidate from each district can be elected. Incumbent and current MSD School Board President Matt Driscoll faces challenger Brad Fleck for the northeast district seat. Todd Dazey and Jeff Snyder face off for the open seat in the northwest district, currently held by Ryan Rosen, who is not seeking re-election. The candidates were asked to sit in alphabetical order, placing the northeast candidates between the northwest candidates. While not technically a debate, the forum allowed candidates to voice their opinions as they responded to questions from moderator Laura Cole and select members of the audience. The candidate forum began, inexplicably, with a five-minute YouTube clip of “Robin Williams as the American Flag.” Pastor and C3 member Timothy Morbitzer led attendees in The Pledge of Allegiance and prayer, and collection buckets were passed to benefit C3. Each candidate then gave a two-minute introduction. Matt Driscoll is a Wabash County native and graduate of Northfield High School. He has four children; three graduated from Northfield, and the fourth is still enrolled. Driscoll has a degree in agricultural education from Purdue

He operates a family farm with his brother outside Urbana. His interest in serving on the board came out of his desire to be involved in his children’s education, and said it was “one of the most enlightening things I’ve ever done.” Brad Fleck is the vice president of CFC Distributors in Roann. He has three daughters, ages 3, 8, and 12, and they are currently homeschooled. Fleck is the chairman of the deacons at Bachelor Creek. He cited extensive involvement in the children’s ministry and adoption ministry, as well as many positions in

local 4-H as some of his unique qualifications. Fleck is passionate about the curriculum, and his concerns in this area drew him to the race. Todd Dazey has lived in the school district for 25 years. He has 4 children, all of which are currently enrolled or have graduated from MSD schools. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in education from Ball State University. He is also a member of the Noble Township Advisory Board. The three things that drew Dazey into the race were a concern for the academics of the county, concern about the budget, and an interest in improving communication between the

board and the community. Jeff Snyder is a Huntington County native, but has lived in this community for 22 years. He has two teenage daughters, both of which attend Northfield. Snyder has an associate’s degree in law enforcement and conservation, and he recently completed a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration at Huntington University. Snyder has been involved in the youth ministry at Bachelor Creek for many years. He is concerned that students are not prepared for post-secondary education. He also wants to see a balanced budget. Following introductions, candidates were asked a series of questions and given 30 seconds to respond to each. In total, the candidates were asked 12 questions on a variety of topics. They were asked about their guiding principles and qualifications, as well as teacher accountability and the chain of command. Other questions, ranging from Common Core and school safety to the budget and consolidation, were met with passionate responses from all candidates. They were in agreement on several issues. All referenced the Christian faith as the source of their guiding principles. Dazey also referenced “The ABCs of Education” – academics, budget, and common sense. “If it doesn’t pass the ABCs, and it

US House candidates to debate in Wabash

Congresswoman Jackie Walorski

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Tuesday, Oct. 21, Wabash voters will have a rare opportunity to attend a debate between United States House of Representatives candidates, as the Congresswoman from Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District Jackie Walorski, a republican, will debate challenger Joe Bock a democrat, at the Winchester Senior Center. The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce and Wabash County Farm Bureau are sponsoring the debate. Congresswoman Walorski was elected to Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District in 2012. Born in South Bend, Walorski has a Bachelor of Arts from Taylor University. Her first job out of college was as a reporter for a South Bend television news station. She married her husband, Dean, in 1995. He works as a school teacher and jazz musician. Walorski has served on the House

Armed Services Committee, House Budget Committee, and the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee. Speaker of the House John Boehner recently named her to serve on the House & Senate Veterans’ Affairs Conference Committee. She has been a proponent for veterans and VA reform, as well as a strong supporter of the Violence Against Women Act. Joe Bock is a professor at Notre Dame’s Eck Institute for Global Health, where he trains students in humanitarian ethics and the use of information and communication technologies to promote global health. He has been a consultant to the World Bank on conflict resolution designed to enable economic development. Joe has served on the leadership team at the American Refugee Committee and was a Country Representative for Catholic Relief Services.

NOTICE: The Paper of Wabash County would like to make it clear that Kyle Meyers, the paramedic charged with rape and featured on last week’s front page, is in no way, and has never been, connected to the Wabash Fire Department or any other local employer. At the time of the incident, he was employed by Heartland Ambulance Services, a company based in Muncie, which is where Meyers lives. Though this was made clear in last week’s article, the article’s placement below the announcement of Fire Chief Bob Mullett’s mayoral candidacy announcement had some readers believing the two stories were related. They are not.

Hospital Gala to celebrate 20th Anniversary of Foundation The Wabash County Hospital Foundation is celebrating its 20th anniversary at its 20th annual Gala on Nov. 8 at the Honeywell Center. The event will be a Masquerade Ball and will feature local entertainment as well as a live and silent auction with dinner and dancing. Additional activities to celebrate the 20th anniversary include visits from a “Phantom of the Opera.” Although optional, guests are encouraged to wear masks and masquerade attire. Lisa Kef faber-Downs, owner of Ellen’s, is donating 10 percent of masks, masquerade ball gowns, costumes, and other masquerade attire purchased at her store located in downtown Wabash. Four organizations are returning with new performances along with a new fifth performance led by Jonathan Cornell, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Wabash. The “comeback” talent

performers are the Tri-Kappa Sorority of Wabash, Wabash County Hospital’s Surgery Dept. & Nurses, Wabash City Fire Department, and the YMCA of Wabash County. Each performing group is competing for first place by receiving the most $1 dollar votes. Donations of votes may be made prior as well at the Gala. The 2014 Gala will benefit the foundation’s Hospice Charity Fund and the purchase of a new surgical mini-c-arm. The hospital’s hospice services are provided by Wabash-Miami Home Health Care & Hospice. Hospice offers terminally ill patients the opportunity to remain at home while receiving skilled nursing services for pain management as well as education and compassionate, emotional support. “Maintaining a Charity Fund for hospice patients who need financial assistance has been a blessing for many

families. The Hospice Charity Fund is largely supported through memorial gifts; however, the fund is currently very low. The Gala proceeds will be a tremendous help in securing hospice care that every hospice patient deserves,” said Marla Cummins, director of the agency. Proceeds of the Gala will also help purchase a new minic-arm that is used for fluoroscopic imaging of the extremities in orthopedic surgery. “The mini-c-arm offers enhanced image quality and easier manipulation,” said Dr. Jeffrey Hartzell of Wabash Orthopedic Center. It’s a surgical enhancement that will benefit many patients for years to come.” In-kind gifts and cash gifts of $500 or more receive complimentary reservations to the Gala. “Donations of cash gifts, auction items, cake sponsorships and talent votes are needed and will greatly assist in benefiting

both worthy causes. Every gift given to help the Gala is a gift to help people in your own community,” said Karen Newhouse, Foundation Director. Purchasing a cash raffle ticket for a chance to win $10,000 is another way to support the Gala. The drawing takes place on Nov. 8 at the Gala, and you need not be present to win. Gala reservations and raffle tickets are available by calling the foundation at 260563-2254.

Indiana domestic violence shelters at risk of losing more than $1 million in state funding cuts

Victims of domestic violence may have fewer places to seek safety if a proposal from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute and the office

of Governor Pence is approved. Domestic violence advocates around the state plan to protest proposed funding cuts at the ICJI board meeting Friday,

Sept. 19 at noon at the Indiana Government South, conference rooms A and B. The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute has proposed

cutting $1.25 million from domestic violence funding in the state. Governor Pence has asked for $160,000 for the general fund and ICJI wants to withhold

$827,000, plus another $263,000. That means $1,250,000 is proposed to be cut from the original $3.5 million appropriated by state statute. “Organizations that provide domestic violence shelter and services around the state will be devastated by the loss of nearly $1 million,” said Laura Berry, executive director of the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. “The need has grown dramatically this year. Additionally, the recent publicity of abuse by NFL players has caused the volume of calls and request for shelter to increase even more.” In the 2012 budget session, domestic violence funding for 2013 was increased by $700,000 to support the critical needs of shelters and other services. Governor Pence reverted that increase back to the general fund. Only

after intense pressure from the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence and others who serve victims was approximately $400,000 restored. Governor Pence reverted the remaining $344,000 of the increase

back to the state’s general fund. In Indiana last year, 30,581 people were served by domestic violence programs. There were 59,196 calls to the domestic violence hotline. At the same time, (continued on page 4)

Frances Slocum Chapter of DAR holds meeting

The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Sept. 9 in the Blocher Room at the North Manchester Public Library. Members toured the birth home of Thomas Riley Marshall at 409 North Market Street. Marshall was an attorney who served as governor of Indiana from 1909-1913 and was the 28th Vice President of the United States from 1913-1921 during the Woodrow Wilson administration. He was born March 14, 1854 to Daniel and Martha (Patterson) Riley when the house was located at 124 East Main Street. The house has been moved three times in its history. Steve Batzka, tour guide, explained the different furnishings through the early 1850s home. Daniel was a practicing doctor and was appointed postmaster in 1853. One room was devoted to his medical practice. There was one small cupboard found in the basement that might have been original from the Marshall home. Thomas lived just two years in North Manchester from 185456 before moving to

Rantoul, Ill., because Martha was threatened with tuberculosis. The home was purchased in 1992 and moved to its current location on Sept. 19, 1994 by the North Manchester Historical Society. All members were invited to attend the DAR Fall Forum meeting, Saturday, Oct. 25 at Jonathon Byrd’s Conference Center in Greenwood, Indiana. Details and registration form will be in the fall issue of Indiana DAR News. Members were reminded of the free Oct. 11 workshop at the North Manchester Public Library to help prospective members with family research to find their patriot from the American Revolution. The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. at the Falls Cemetery Memorial Chapel, located at 745 Falls Avenue in Wabash. The program, “Find A Grave,” will be given by Vicki Filip. Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend. DAR membership is open to any woman over 18 years of age who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American

Revolution. Those having questions about their family history lineage information

may contact Linda Thompson at 260-5634661 or Barbara Amiss at 260-982-4376.

Stirring it up with Angie Baer

Fall is here, and I have this overwhelming feeling that I should coincide with nature and enjoy every single minute of it, because I know a harsh winter is right around the corner. Using your slow cooker is the perfect way to simplify your week night meals and free you up in the kitchen so you can enjoy this beautiful season. I think my Crock-Pot is my favorite and most used small appliance. From my mom’s avocado green Crock-Pot of the 1970’s to the digital slow cookers on the market today, !

!# ! #$"% $ ! $ )

)

" '

1. Avoid taking the lid off during the cooking process. Few recipes will require you to stir. When you take the lid off, it takes 20 minutes to recover and reach cooking temperature. 2. Go easy on adding liquids. Very little evaporation occurs with a slow cooker. 3. When purchasing a slow cooker, make sure it has a “ warm “ setting. The warm setting will keep your food hot but not continue to cook it. For the next several weeks, I will share some of my most loved Crock-Pot recipes with you. So, with this in mind, pull out that Crock-Pot, dust it off, and let’s make some delicious, hearty meals for the fall. This recipe for pepper steak is especially tasty. I serve this over a bed of white rice, making this a fantastic weeknight dinner.

Crock-Pot Pepper Steak You will need: 1 pound round steak, sliced very thin 3 Tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1 garlic clove, minced 2 green peppers, sliced thin 1 4-oz. can mushrooms 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper Combine all ingredients in slow cooker.

US House candidates to debate in Wabash Joe has lived in South Bend for seven years. Before going to college, he worked as a hired hand on a farm and was a professional firefighter. He has served on the Safety and Security Committee of the South Bend Community School Corporation. His wife, Sue, is a Kindergarten teacher in South Bend. Each candidate will be given two minutes for an opening statement. Candidates will then be asked a series of five questions and given 60 seconds to answer. If time allows, the candidates will then take questions from the audience. Questions must be signed and the submitter’s address must be included. Each campaign will designate an individual to review these questions, and both campaigns hold veto power over any questions. Candidates will then be given two minutes for a closing statement. The debate will last no longer than 60 minutes. Local attorney Jordan Tandy will moderate the debate. He will be responsible for giving candidates a 10-second warning and ensuring that candidates do not exceed their allotted time.

This is the first debate between the candidates in an election that is just three weeks away. Both campaigns weighed in on the coming debate and election. “As always, Jackie looks forward to hearing from voters and giving them the opportunity to hear from each candidate,” said Deputy Campaign Manager Emily Daniels. “She has always been passionate about helping folks in need or lending support to important causes that can truly make a difference. When she was elected to Congress, she made a promise to represent the interests of Hoosiers in Washington and fight

for them. Her dad was an Air Force Veteran and South Bend firefighter. He taught her about the value of public service. Since then, Jackie has dedicated her career to helping others. So, in an effort to fulfill her commitment to Hoosiers, she’s continued this trend of helping others in Congress and worked across party lines to get things done. She is grateful for the opportunity voters have given her to serve on their behalf, and she’s committed to work with Congress, regardless of party or politics, to fight for her constituents.” Bock’s statement had a much different message, calling out

his opponent for refusing other debates, including those in the district’s most populous area, South Bend. “Cong resswoman Walorski is trying to hide her horrible voting record from the public, because she can’t defend her dangerous votes to end the Medicare guarantee while giving tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas,” Bock said. “While I’m glad the people of Wabash County will have a chance to hear our ideas and platforms, more than 600,000 people in the Second District will miss out. I guess that’s to be expected from some-

one who has hosted zero town hall meetings.” Audience members are expected to be silent during the debate, with clapping, yelling, heckling, and cheering prohibited. There is also no political signage allowed, including, but not limited to: t-shirts, hats, stickers, palm cards, and hand signs. Audience members who do not comply will be warned and then asked to leave. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the debate is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Space is limited, and seating will be available on a firstcome, first-served basis.

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “I love the game of tennis…it relates to life in so many ways. Athletic competition contains much of the drama of life — in

many respects, it is a microcosm of life. Frustration, joy, uncertainty, pain, and struggle are all there. People who enter the competitive arena soon realize that there is more to competition than simply learning the physical skills. In the final analysis, every athletic contest is a contest of control – control of the delicate mind-body connection. Mental toughness, simply, is focus on the moment – the process, not the achieving of an end result expected by yourself and others. Savor the moment”.

THE ROANN LIONS CLUB met on Oct. 2 at the town hall in Roann. In new business, Donna Harman reported the festival board has already chosen a theme for next year and has some fun ideas for the theme, “Racing to the Roann Festival.” A new sound system and outdoor speakers were purchased this year, which was a great asset to help with making announcements throughout the festival. She asked if the Lions Club would be willing to pay for half of the cost of this purchase, since it is something that can be used for other community events. A motion was made and seconded that the Lions Club agreed to

In other business, Rick Morris reported that they had received donations from local businesses to the Lions Club to purchase a sound system and outdoors speakers for the pull field. It was reported by those who helped with the events at the pull field during the festival that all events were well attended and people were very appreciative to be able to attend the tractor pulls at no cost. The Indiana Garden Tractor Pullers pull was a new event this year at the pull field. They were very good guests. Their group cleaned up very well after their tractor pull. There was some discussion on the rules at the track for events and safety issues. Vonell Krom reported that all the items that were taken to the Roann Town Board for the log cabin had been taken care of before the festival. The bell on the lawn needs to be sandblasted and painted. Vonell also reported that there are a couple logs on the cabin that need

repaired. He will check into more details as to how to do this, while keeping its original look. Rick Morris has been sharing with the Lions Club for several months an idea for the Roann Lions Club to earn money – delicious warm donuts! He has checked on a cooker and costs. This is something that could be done at several events throughout the year in Roann, and maybe the county fair. Rick’s wife, Sandy, made donuts for the club at the end of the meeting, and they were delicious!

MSD School Board candidates talk Common Core, consolidation at forum...continued from front page doesn’t get by God, it’s not going to get by me at a school board meeting,” said Dazey. Candidates also agreed on basic questions regarding the

chain of command and to whom the MSD board and staff are accountable. It was made abundantly clear by all candidates that the teachers are

accountable to the principals and superintendent, the superintendent is accountable to the board, and the board is held accountable by the taxpayers. Since the forum was held in a church, organizers felt it was only fitting to ask whether biblical history should be offered as a class in the high schools. A similar class, looking at the Bible as a piece of literature, has been offered at registration in the past, but there have never been enough students interested to dedicate a class to it. Two years ago, only four students signed up.

“When you look at the current history curriculum that’s being used…there are so many gaps in US history that’s being taught in the curriculum, that it tends to confuse students,” said Fleck. “It makes the timeline muddy; it’s really difficult and boring, but when you put back in the religious aspects that everyone has worked so hard to take out, then the timelines start making sense. Things start aligning, and it makes history fun and interesting.” “Absolutely, of course, yes,” Dazey said when asked. “There are history classes that, when they discuss World War II, you’re not even allowed to talk about Adolph Hitler or Pearl Harbor. They want to basically talk to you about the dropping of the atomic bomb and how bad that was. I think school boards can work with their local legislators to say, ‘Guys, this needs to be changed. What you’re doing is a very big disservice to our children, and they’re not learning history the way it really played out.’”

“It can be done,” said Snyder. “It’s just finding the loop holes, like Brad said, to allow those to happen. As an administrator, sometimes you have to turn your head and allow that to walk through your hallways and that curriculum to be taught, or stand up and fight for it.” “Of course we’d like to have that in if there are enough students to do that,” said Driscoll. “It’s a difficult thing to introduce, but the whole thing is, you have to have enough parents and students want a class like that to get that in the school. It goes back to the parents.” This was the unanimous response when the candidates were asked who has authority over children’s education. “If you can’t get what your child needs…if our corporation isn’t giving it, ultimately, you have to take care of it yourself at home,” said Snyder. “Secondly, the board, if there’s a shortcoming within the district, they need to find the person that can lead that district to make those decisions and make those changes within that district.” Fleck and Dazey pointed to parents, followed by state and local control. “Every president I can think of has had their own program: Common Core, Race To The Top, No Child Left Behind,” said Dazey. “Nowhere in the Constitution of the United States have we given the power to the federal government to decide what’s best for our local school districts.” Driscoll agreed that education starts and ends at home, but acknowledged that, as a public school dis-

trict, there are certain regulations that have to be followed. “There are a lot of government things that you have to follow, whether you like it or not at this point, and that’s the unfortunate thing…but when the money is attached from somebody else, unfortunately you have to follow some of those rules,” said Driscoll. “You see things you really don’t like to do, but because of the money constraints and where that money comes from, it forces you to do some things.” When it comes to education requirements put in place by the government, Common Core is a top issue, and the forum was no exception. According to Common Core literature, it is “a set of high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy. These learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade.” It is a federal initiative hosted and maintained by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National G o v e r n o r s Association Center for Best Practices. Indiana standards are an adaptation of Common Core and include additional requirements. “MSD adopted Common Core curriculum four years ago. The Envision math program that is in our elementary schools right now is Common Core,” said Fleck. “My daughter was in third grade when they did that, and it was a disaster. It still is a disaster. If you look at our test scores compared to every other district around us, it’s not

working. I’m very passionate about this topic.” “With the guidelines that are in place to be able to have to test to ISTEP, ISTEP+, how we educate students to get to those standards, I believe, can be deviated from,” said Snyder. “We’ve got educators that don’t believe in that curriculum, for one, and there’s teachers available to be able to change that to make sure that we can still pass that test to get the funding that we need, but not violate those values of what their trying to push with this common core agenda.” I read a nationwide survey of teachers; 54 percent of them oppose Common Core,” said Dazey. “I am 100% opposed to those standards. I think we can do better. I think the legislature blew it by doing a rewrite of Hoosier Core…we really do need to throw this out and go back to the standards that we had in 2008, 2009, because those were much better than what we have now with Common Core.” Schools are required to meet state standards, which include Common Core, to receive state funding. Ignoring the Common Core in favor of alternative standards could negatively impact standardized test scores and impact school funding. “Everything we do is kind of hand-tied by the state legislature. Because we are a public school, we have to do what we have to do to get the funds,” said Driscoll. “We have teachers that we all want to evaluate on how they teach their kids…so we have a base level to grade the teachers on (continued on page 11)

MSD School Board candidates talk Common Core, consolidation at forum...continued from page 10

by standards. Well, they have to have a common standard, and this is what they’ve come up with. Do I agree with it? No, but at the same time, we’re kind of handtied to do what [they want], because its tied with money.” State and federal academic standards are not new. Michael Adamson, director of board services for the Indiana School Board Association, thinks that the fear surrounding the current standards is somewhat unfounded. “Everybody is using Common Core. They just don’t like the terminology. That is a discussion that’s been blown completely out of proportion entirely, and most people don’t have a thorough understanding of what is even meant by Common Core or Indiana standards,” said Adamson. “Indiana standards are just an exaggerated version of Common Core. There’s really no difference, and there never has been. “You have to have a measurement whereby you can measure your school’s effectiveness or standing with other similar institutions,” Adamson continued. “If our kids can’t compete with kids in California, then we’re not doing our job, and vice versa. What people need to understand is, standards are minimums. You can do anything over and above them you choose to. They just represent the minimal kinds of things that kids need to learn and need to be covered in a public education environment. Many people…are just reacting to semantics, versus the real issues regarding what standards represent.” In response to the candidates’ disapproval of Common Core, Cole, the moderator, gave an example of a Florida school district that has forfeited available state funding in favor of teaching an alternative curriculum. Currently, the base amount given to Indiana public schools for each student is $4,583. “After you add in the complexity index, full-day kindergarten, special education, career and technolo-

gy…the state average is $6,632,” said Adamson. “What you receive locally may vary widely from that state average, however.” MSD falls squarely between the base and the average, at around $5,500. With 2,236 students enrolled, the General Fund amounts to over $12 million. It is used primarily to pay teachers. Some of the candidates advocated forfeiting these funds and doing away with Common Core. “Ya, I would love to do that, but we’ve got to get our financial house in order first,” said Dazey. Dazey also noted that MSD saw an enrollment increase of 69 students this year, and since funding is tied to enrollment, he thinks that identifying the cause of this influx could help make up part of the difference. Snyder advocated finding alternative teaching methods that can lead to better test results. “Research these communities where it’s working. Figure out what’s working, and figure out how we can pattern a little bit off of it,” said Snyder. “It’s been done. We don’t have to just accept it for what it is.” Driscoll acknowledged that Common Core is not ideal, but that giving up funding is not an option. “Sure it’d be nice to do, but once again, I don’t know how you’d turn over the amount of money, several million dollars, $5,500 per kid, and we’ve got roughly 2,200 children,” said Driscoll. “You’d have to be in a very wealthy area to do that. I don’t know what kind of wealth they had in that Florida district.” Adamson found the idea of forfeiting the funds laughable. “They couldn’t have school if they got rid of that money,” said Adamson. “You have to have that money to operate.” Fleck thinks that there may be a way to scrap Common Core while retaining the state funding. “There’s a school down in Grant County. They’re still using the old-style math curriculum. They have not adopted the Common Core math curriculum. I

doubt they lost their funding from the State of Indiana,” said Fleck. “I think that we need to be doing more investigation on how to get out of having to deal with these standards, but if we’re going to have to deal with these standards, we’ve got to find ways to put something with it to bring our test scores up, because that is the gauge of our education.” Notably, when asked about reducing the current budget, some of the candidates had little to say. “This is a subject that’s really hard to answer for somebody who’s not been on the board,” said Fleck. “I’ve been going to some of the board meetings over the last year, and when they talk about the budget, they talk about the items that are being approved to be paid, the claims - the public cannot see what those claims are. We can’t see what the budget is. It’s hard for the general public to know what spending is.” “I’m going to sound off with Brad on this one. I don’t have access to that information either. I’m not sure any one of us do, so to be able to make that decision, it’s not an easy question to answer at this forum. Without knowing numbers, I can’t answer that question with any sort of validity.” Public school district budgets are public records. “They advertise that budget. It’s published every year,” said Adamson. “I doubt sincerely that the corporation is not giving them access to the budget. Lots of times, people who are not seated on the board just don’t understand the mechanics. Much public information is housed at a school corporation and is readily available to consumers in the community simply by going and requesting it.” In addition to requesting the budget in person, which the district’s central office confirmed is an option, the budget can be obtained through the Wabash County Auditor’s Office. A PDF document of the budget can be found in the first Google

result returned when searching, “MSD of Wabash County 2014 Budget.” One budget item that the candidates did discuss had to do with student safety. In the last year, the school board looked at a proposal to hire a school resource officer, a police officer who would travel between schools to ensure student safety. The board ultimately decided against the idea. “I don’t know if you can ever do ‘everything that’s possible’ to prevent school violence. You do as much as you can,” said Driscoll. “We entertained that idea, to put a school safety officer in, because…having our children safe is very important. Was it the right choice? We ended up not doing that, but our thought was, ‘What’s a child worth in today’s world.’ It’s really something that we thought about. We’ve upgraded all the schools. You have to be keyed in when you go up to he door, so we’ve done a lot of things like that.” The other three candidates advocated giving a stipend to teachers and administrators already employed at the school to perform the duties of a school resource officer, including carrying a firearm. I think our schools do a pretty good job of protecting kids,” said Fleck. “I will say, as far as a school

resource officer goes, I think were kind of going in the wrong direction. This is my personal opinion. If they’re willing to hire a separate individual, arm him, have him rotate between the schools, my thought is, you’ve got people in the schools already who have other responsibilities. Give them a stipend to be the school resource officer in each school, so you don’t just have one guy floating around the schools, but you’ve got at least one guy in each school.” Dazey and Snyder agreed. “I’ve spent my entire adult life as a

By Shaun Tilghman Jon Rosen has worked for Halderman Farm Management Service, Inc. in Wabash for 15 years, and the North Manchester resident is now offering those services a little closer to home, after recently opening his own office downtown at 227 E. Main Street.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I live in North Manchester, so if I have something urgent that needs to be done itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more convenient for me to have an office closer to home,â&#x20AC;? said Rosen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also more convenient for some of the people I work with, especially those right here in North Manchester.

According to Rosen, Halderman now has 25-30 branch offices in multiple states, as well as an affiliate in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The farm management company is the biggest privately owned farm management company east of the Mississippi,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We manage farms not only in Indiana, but also in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My work involves a lot of communication,â&#x20AC;? Rosen continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and even when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the farm Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m constantly on the phone. I also have two assistants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one for farm management and one for real estate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they help me keep things straight while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m farming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did try working out of our home this summer, but the kids enjoyed dad being home a little too much, so I knew I needed to make a change in order to get

my work done. I liked the idea of working in North Manchester, so I rented this building from Matt Mize and got to work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a work in progress, but I can already see the advantages of having an office closer to home. This office is my venture, but obviously its location on Main Street is great advertisement for Halderman as well.â&#x20AC;? Rosen went on to say that his regular office hours are generally from 8:30 a.m. 5:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My office hours are seasonal though, so in the spring and fall the best way to reach me is by phone,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have three phone numbers posted out front so that people can reach me,â&#x20AC;? Rosen concluded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 260740-1846 is my number and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on it most of the time, so if someone canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get through they should be sure to leave a message. The other two numbers (260-982-8351 and 260578-1035) are for Bill Earle, who has been

with the company over 40 years and is the Halderman Real Estate representative in North Manchester.â&#x20AC;? Rosen earned his Bachelor of Science degree in A g r i c u l t u r a l Economics from Purdue University. He served in the United States Army from 1988-1991, serving in Northern Germany from 1989-1991 and in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq for six months during the Gulf War in 1991. He received an Honorable Discharge from the Army in September 1991. Rosen currently holds a Real Estate Brokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s License and is a Certified General Appraiser, which is the highest appraisal license attainable in the nation.

Rural Wabash County resident in fatal accident On Oct. 7, at approximately 9:46 p.m., officers from the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department responded to a personal injury crash on County Road 700 West, just north of County Road 400 North. Officers deter-

ity pole. Mr. Fisher was pronounced dead at the scene by the Wabash County Coroner’s office. Mr. Fisher was not wearing a seatbelt, and speed is believed to have played a factor in the crash. This crash remains under investigation.

Susan Klinger, 60 Member of the Manchester Church of the Brethren Sept. 27, 1954 – Oct. 9, 2014

Susan Beth Klingler, 60, died just before sunset on Thursday, Oct. 9, at her home in North Manchester. She was born on Sept. 27, 1954, in Kokomo, to Charles and Susie Klingler, who survive her, and grew up in North Manchester from age five. A graduate of Manchester High School, she earned degrees in English at Manchester College and Indiana University and became a teacher of English, first teaching briefly in Columbia City and then for 31 years in North Manchester. On Aug. 6, 1983, she married David Hippensteel, who also survives her, as do their children, Nicholas, New York, and Maya, South Bend. Other survivors are a sister, Rebecca, Los Angeles; and brothers David, North Manchester; Robert (Jill), Cincinnati; Thomas (Nathalie Dajko), New Orleans; John, Saudi Arabia; and Mark (Jennifer Dush), Columbus, Ohio. In addition, she was a beloved aunt of 22 nieces and nephews. Susan was an active member of the Manchester Church of the Brethren. She sang in the Taize Choir, and spoke thoughtfully and with grace and conviction in various capacities, including that of worship leader. Her talents were also employed in the larger community, as when she narrated for the Manchester Symphony Orchestra. She was also a member of the Symphony Board. She was fully engaged in her profession of teaching. As early as 1985, she was recognized by District Six of the Business and Professional Women’s Club as Young Career Woman of the Year. A member of the National Education Association, the Indiana State Teachers’ Association, the Manchester Teachers’ Association, the National Council of Teachers of English, and the Indiana Council of Teachers of English, she worked untiringly to improve the condition and quality of teaching and learning. Throughout her tenure, she taught Honors and Advanced Placement courses. She published a creative writing magazine, The Icarian Plunge, for more than a decade and long served as a senior class sponsor. From her youth, Susan sought out new experiences. She spent her junior year of college at the Philipps University in Marburg, Germany. In after-years, she continued to study and to travel. In the summer of 2009, she received a grant to take part in a Shakespeare workshop in Northampton, Mass. In the summer of 2004, she led a group of students and their adult chaperones on a literary tour of Great Britain. Her husband was at her side for this and for other tours nearer home. The two of them traveled in Europe on more than one occasion, the most recent being a long walk with friends on the Way of St. James of Compostela in the summer of 2013—a life-changing experience. Upon her return, she discovered that she was in stage four of pancreatic cancer. She continued to teach, and in every way to live intensely, an inspiration to all who knew her. A memorial service was held Oct. 12, at the Manchester Church of the Brethren. Contributions may be made to the Community Foundation of Wabash County, PO Box 7, North Manchester, IN 46962 in memory of Susan Klingler and will be directed to one or more educational causes important to her. Arrangements entrusted to McKee Mortuary, North Manchester. Condolences may be sent to mckeemortuary.com

Access Youth Center holds scavenger hunt

As part of their monthly Family Event Nights, the Access Youth Center recently held a scavenger hunt throughout the city of Wabash. “We wanted to draw attention to the signs the youth walk past each day,” said Liz Hobbs, Executive Director of AYC. Participants were given clues in order to complete a puzzle, and the answers were found on historical markers and signs throughout town, including Paradise Spring and Wabash City Park. The competition kicked off at an AYC Family Night appropriately themed, “What Are You Looking At.” “We wanted to find creative ways to get the kids and their families to talk and think about what they see each day and what their focus is” said Hobbs. The night’s events included games and activities that centered on this concept, concluding with the scavenger hunt forms, which were available throughout the following week. Each person who completed the puzzle was entered in a drawing for a bicycle, and each participant received an AYC Scavenger Hunt shirt. Tyler Walters, a 10th grader at

Kiwanis holds Bucket Brigade Dear editor, The 18th Annual Wabash Kiwanis Club Bucket Brigade for Riley Children’s Hospital was held Saturday, Sept. 20. We were successful in collecting generous donations from area residents in the amount of $1,336.58, to be sent in full to the hospital. This brings the total our community has sent to Riley hospital, over these 18 years, to $33,059,46. Again this year, the Indianapolis Colts joined in this event, donating a Colts backpack and merchandise. Sue Allegree won the drawing. The Wabash Kiwanis Club thanks every contributor to this cause of supporting the health facility, which has done so much for many years for many children. Riley Hospital continues to lead the way in improvements in caring for young people’s

various needs, with new facilities, equipment, and treatment methods. This year, we stationed our buckets at Bechtol’s Kroger’s, Wabash Wal-Mart, Save-A-Lot and Big R. We thank these businesses for their willingness to allow us to use their areas. Indiana Kiwanis Clubs continue to unite their efforts to finance needs as they arise at the hospital. The goal this year is $250,000 toward a fouryear commitment of 1 million dollars. Also, we appreciate very much the help received in publicity through announcements on the two local radio stations, WKISS 95.9 and 105.9 The Bash, and the news items in the Wabash Plain Dealer and the Paper. Sincere thanks, Wabash Kiwanis Club

Lawrenz celebrates 40 years serving Timbercrest Senior Living Community cerns of individual residents and the concerns of their family members, as well as the individual struggles of many coworkers, and the aspirations of Timbercrest donors and board members. I hear his concerns for the future of the Timbercrest community, for the future of its residents and staff, for the future of the many individuals and families who are counting on this community to provide future care for the aging. Timbercrest is fortunate to have a smart, compassionate, articulate, experienced leader. And I am fortunate to have him as a friend.” While Lawrenz is extremely proud of the significant growth of the facility during his tenure – it has actually doubled in size – he is quick to deflect the credit to others. In fact, he would much rather discuss his favorite part of the job: working with individual residents.

want the psychosocial environment to be very family like – that’s important to us as well as our residents.” Lawrenz went on to say that people always ask him why he’s been at Timbercrest for so long. “It’s really just been a good fit,” he concluded. “Good people live here and good people work here, and that makes work life easy for me – I’m just very appreciative of that.”

“My biggest joy is working with individual residents,” he explained. “Each time you move up through the administrative positions it takes you a little further from the regular contact with residents. So, you have to be a little more intentional to meet with residents and help them with their issues; we’ve even kind of designed Timbercrest to make sure its staff is in areas where residents are going to congregate and circulate.

three months, my total career as a licensed administrator has been here, and it’s been a great fit.” During the celebration, Hammer stated that he was honored to be able to share in the recognition his friend’s 40-year work a n n i v e r s a r y. “Timbercrest today embodies the vision and character of Dave over the past 40 years,” Hammer said. “Not only did Timbercrest expand its physical footprint on this campus over the past 40 years,” he continued, “but it also developed an experienced staff, a consistent standard of care, a commitment to strategic thinking about the future, and an amazing record of achievement as one of the outstanding retirement communities in Indiana. Timbercrest is known and respected by its peers in the Midwest, and I think Dave might have had something to do with that; actually, I think Dave had a lot to do with that, because Dave has been the consistent part of a small and engaged management team through those years. “Dave has been involved in all of the decisions that have shaped its development – little things and big things. But, he also knows the con-

around, and I recall helping some of them, which I’m guessing helped make me a good match for working with older adults. Either way, I do know that I always wanted to be in a service industry of some kind.” After graduating college in 1971, Lawrenz worked at a long-term care facility in Fort Wayne from 1971-1974. “I got my administrator’s license in 1974, and after a brief stint in a little nursing home, I came here to work at Timbercrest in September of 1974 as a nursing assistant, or orderly,” he added. “I had some interest in an assistant position, and they had one open, but they weren’t at the point of hiring for it yet,” Lawrenz continued. “So, Orville Sherman, who was my predecessor, said they could hire me in as an orderly and see what happens. Over the subsequent months, Mr. Sherman moved me up into some administrative responsibilities; I went from administrative assistant to assistant to the administrator to assistant administrator to the administrator designee. On Jan. 1, 1979, I became the administrator when Mr. Sherman retired. Basically, except for the first

His dedication to the organization is grounded in his concern for the residents and the staff. We could probably figure it out from old records, but I cannot imagine how many persons who have lived here he has known, befriended and cherished; how many residents have looked to him for assurance that they would be taken care of regardless of how long they lived here.” While Lawrenz has enjoyed a long career at Timbercrest, his path was not always pointed in the direction of long-term care. According to Lawrenz, he originally pursued a career path in ministry. Lawrenz grew up near a little town called Rochester, Minn. He aspired of being a Lutheran minister, and at that time, the system involved a junior college and then a senior college, which was in Fort Wayne and is now Concordia Seminary. The summer before he left to come to Fort Wayne, Lawrenz worked in a nursing home in Plainview, Minn. Then, he got another job in longterm care while attending college in Fort Wayne. “I was planning to be a Lutheran minister, but after college that kind of fell apart,” Lawrenz explained. “So, I came back and continued to work in long-term care. Growing up, we were pretty much surrounded by older folks that didn’t have family

By Shaun Tilghman On Sept. 30, Timbercrest Senior Living Community held a Tree Dedication Ceremony in honor of Administrator David Lawrenz’s 40th anniversary. A crowd of residents, staff, friends, and family gathered at the North Manchester institution to surprise Lawrenz and to celebrate his milestone of service. Timbercrest A s s o c i a t e Administrator Ted N e i d l i n g e r , Timbercrest Board President Gene Sloop, and friend Steve Hammer each offered kind words about Lawrenz during the ceremony. “All of the literature in the long-term care field agrees that a primary indicator of the quality of a facility is the length of service of the organization’s administrator or CEO,” said Neidlinger. “By that measurement, it is no surprise that Timbercrest is known to be one of the best retirement communities in the State of Indiana, and I would say in the country. David has served Timbercrest for 40 years, beginning his career here on Sept. 30, 1974; his impact on the organization, though, is much, much greater than mere stability. “David did not start his career as a CEO or even as an assistant administrator or manager – he began as an orderly. He began as a caregiver and has remained a caregiver.

SCOREBOARD

Wabash Student Athlete of the Month announced for September New this year at Wabash High School, they are introducing Student Athlete of the Month. Head coaches nominate one athlete from their team that exemplifies one of the following: *Sportsmanship shown in competition *Something that displays a positive image for Wabash athletics *Something that displays good character This award is sponsored by Harvey Hinklemeyer’s. All winners will be given a $10 gift card and will be honored at the end of the year and pre-

sented with a special t-shirt. September’s Wabash Student Athlete of the Month is Dominick Hubbard. Hubbard was nominated by his crosscounty coach, Brad Layman. Hubbard is a junior at Wabash High School, participating in his first year as a high school crosscountry runner. “Dominick has been an incredible addition to the crosscountry team this year. He runs his hardest in every workout and has proven to be a tough racer already,” said Coach Layman. “The

most valuable quality that he brings to our program is his display of character around our younger runners. He never hesitates at an opportunity to encourage the middle school runners to do their best.” Hubbard not only works with the middle school runners at Wabash, but he also participated in a cross-country camp put on for third and fourth grade students at OJ Neighbours. “He has been a great role model and teammate,” added Layman.

The Knights would start the fourth quarter, again going for it on a 4th and 5 with the Northfield defense making the stop. The Norse would take over on the Southwood 45 and mount a drive little bits at a time, eating up the clock and scoring with 1:51 left when Frieden found Shane Vigar from 4 yards out to give Northfield a 3421 lead. The Norse would then attempt a squib kick that bounced perfectly in to Johnny Jones hands as he raced to the Norse 21.

As long as there is time on the clock the Knights have a chance to score and did just that twice the last 2:00. After a long completion to Danny Goff, Nathan Hollars would score form 4 yards out with 1:41 left to cut the lead to 27-14. The Knight defense would then come up big, forcing a fumble and recovering to give Southwood one more shot. The Knights mounted a quick drive and with 1.8 on the clock Hollars would find the end zone and the halftime score was 27-21. The third quarter

Norse Hold Off Knights In Battle Of Metro

by Gary Andrews It was the annual metro bowl with Northfield visiting Southwood and each team sitting 1-0 in the county round robin. A win by either team would let them decide their own destiny next week as they chase the county title. Northfield dominated early and built a 20-point lead, only to have to hang on in the last few seconds for a thrilling 34-28 win over the Knights. On their second possession of the game Northfield would strike. Carter Frieden would connect with Jarred Short on a quick hitter up the middle for a 64-yard scoring strike to give the Norse a 6-0 lead with 5:04 to go. The Northfield defense would then step up big, stopping Southwood on a 4th and 5 and taking advantage. On 3rd and 1 Frieden would find Shane Vigar, again on the quick hitter for a 51-yard strike and the Norse led 13-0 after the first quarter. After botching a Norse kick off the Knights survived a missed field goal, but on the 4th play of their drove fumbled with Northfield recovering. Five plays later Carter Frieden would take it in from 11 yards out and the Norse were in control 20-0 with 8:10 left in the half. The potent Southwood offense needed to get something going before the half and did just

make it 34-28. With little time left and needing the ball the Knights executed an onside kick that was recovered by Peyton Trexler to give the Knights a shot at the win. On the second play Southwood was called for holding which pushed them back to the 45, but two plays later were on the 31. On 3rd and 10 the Knights tried a reverse with a pass that was intended for quarterback Robbie Cole with the Norse knocking it down and the Knights having one more shot. As Cole dropped back the Norse brought heavy pressure, taking Cole down for a sack as he threw a completed pass to a lineman, ending the game 34-28. For Northfield Carter Frieden was 4 of 6 for 118 yards, three touchdowns. Josh Bickel rushed 29 times

for 196 yards. Jackson Beery added 2 for 70 yards, one touchdown. Carter Frieden had 13 for 29 yards, Jarred Short 8 for 30 yards, Shane Vigar 4 for 2 yards.

Manchester duo bows out of regional by Gary Andrews The Manchester Squire doubles team of Noah Cain and Branden Scott put their 18-1 record up against Plymouth, the top doubles team in North Central Indiana, falling 1-6, 3-6. The match started out with two close games in which Noah Cain and Branden Scott had opportunities but lost close games. Plymouth jumped out to a 3-0 lead but Manchester didn’t give in. Scott served many quality points and Cain volleyed well at the net as the

duo won the fourth game to go 1-3. Plymouth, however, took the next three games. Despite losing the set 6-1 and the first three games of set two, the Squire duo went toe to toe with P l y m o u t h . Manchester broke through with 3 straight games to tie the set 3-3. E v e n t u a l l y, Plymouth won the final 3 games of the set to take the match and advance in the tournament. Cain and Scott end their 1 doubles season with an 18-2 record.

The Squires would close the gap early in the second when Evan Milam scored from 4yds out with 10:27 to play, making it 9-7, but the Apaches responded with two more scores for their first half lead. Chase Dirig scored on a 10yd run, then connected with Trevor Vest on a 25-yard pass play to give the Apaches a 23-7 halftime lead. Both defenses would

dominate the third quarter with Manchester getting the lone score of the quarter when Jacob Casper scored from 23 yards out with 40 seconds left in the quarter and with a two point conversion Wabash still led 23-15 with one quarter to go. With 9:23 left in the game Lucas Schilling would race 14yds to pay dirt, then hit Milam for a two-point conversion to tie the game at 23.

Woodlan and went three games with the scores 21-25, 25-17, and 16-14. ”The championship game we really never gave up the entire time. We lost the first game but realized that

we were fully capable of winning so we fixed the little things that went wrong in the first game and came back and won in three. The girls played so hard all day and everyone was having a great

day. We just keep making the right steps forward and just improve every single game,” said Coach Mast. The Lady Norse are now 20-5 and are traveling to Oak Hill on Monday.

Northfield junior high volleyball to tackle out breast cancer and domestic violence October is Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The Northfield junior high volleyball teams are excited to announce that they will be holding a bake sale as well as a silent auction on Friday, Oct. 17 at the last home varsity football game against North Manchester. The teams will be set up around 6 p.m., just through the entrance to the game. Half of the funds raised will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, based in Indianapolis, and the other half will be donated to Hands of Hope, which gives safe shelter to victims of domestic violence in both Wabash and Grant counties. Pink and purple ribbons will be for sale at the table along with some other fun things. “The teams are very excited to be doing this for both of these great causes. The 8th grade coach, Leslie Stauffer, and I know what it’s like to help raise funds/awareness for victims of domestic violence because we were both active members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and our philanthropy helped raise awareness for women and children of domestic violence situations. We, and a lot of the girls, have known someone who has also been a Breast Cancer victim. Since October is both Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness month, we thought that this bake sale and silent auction would be a great way to contribute to each of these causes. Because we were able to get enough donations from local businesses in Wabash, we now have two silent auction baskets up for grabs! We hope to see many of you at the game. Don’t forget to stop by the bake sale table to grab some yummy treats,” said Brooke Griffey, 7th grade volleyball coach at Northfield High School.

“Live Life” Keynote speaker influences local youth organization The Compass Rose Academy, located on the campus of White’s Residential and Family Services, Wabash, has based its Philosophy of Care on the work of worldrenown psychologist and best-selling author Dr. John Townsend. Townsend will be the keynote speaker for an unprecedented fifth time at the 22nd Annual “Live Life C o n f e r e n c e ” Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014, at the Honeywell Center in Historic Downtown Wabash. Mike Haarer, director of the Compass Rose Academy, will be one of 18 presenters during the daylong conference. He will be leading the workshop entitled “Character-Based

A d o l e s c e n t Treatment.” Sharing the podium with Haarer, a licensed mental health counselor, will be Joel Makin, a therapist at the Academy and a counselor at the Wabash Friends Counseling Center, which sponsors the annual event. Compass Rose Academy provides services that help equip teen girls and their families with resources they need to improve family functioning. “As a Christ-centered organization, we are committed to enriching the lives of teens and families,” Haarer said. “Programs include both prevention services and a residential treatment center, to help teen girls and

their families from around the country succeed at home and in life.” The residential treatment center operates a 9- to 12month program for 14- to 17-year-old girls who have not yet entered the juvenile justice system. It is designed to expand upon White’s overall mission by preserving the well being of teens and families. Compass Rose Academy’s unique clinical growth model, based on Townsend’s work, goes beyond symptom reduction to address problems at their source by accurately diagnosing and treating issues in key areas of the internal character structure: Bonding, Boundaries, Reality and Competence. “We deliberately look beyond the surface-level presenting problems and address growth from a deeper, ‘character structure’ perspective,” Haarer said. “We define character as the ‘set of abilities necessary to meet the challenges of life.’ “The focus of the

counseling, and all other aspects of our program at Compass Rose, is on developing the character necessary to face the issues of life. As we focus on building healthy internal structure in these areas, we find that symptoms like depression, anxiety, and defiance decrease and often are eliminated,” he added. “Not only that, but we find that this approach unlocks the door to growth and potential that many parents and students never thought possible.” Makin, a Southwood High School and H u n t i n g t o n University graduate, is the son of Scott Makin, founder of the Wabash Friends Counseling Center and the “Live Life Conference,” which it

was changed to this year after originally being called “The Day of Healing: A Spiritual Growth Conference.” In 2010, the name was changed to “Live Life to the Fullest: A Spiritual Growth Conference.” He will also lead a workshop entitled “Addiction Recovery: Character Drives Symptoms.” Makin is a certified Gestalt therapist. His father, who has been working with Townsend for the past 20 years, stepped down earlier this year as executive director of the counseling center to take the position of executive director of the Townsend Institute for Leadership and Counseling at H u n t i n g t o n University, scheduled to begin offering

classes in the fall of 2015. Hope Brown, the new executive director of the Wabash Friends Counseling Center, is organizing the 2014 event. The theme of this year’s conference is “The Hard Way is the Right Way.” It will feature 23 workshops, 11 in the morning, 11 in the afternoon and one video workshop over the lunch hour. A total of 18 professional counselors and educators will conduct the workshops throughout the Honeywell Center. The daylong event that has become the largest one-day, selfhelp conference in Indiana, with attendees also coming from Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Missouri. About 400 of those attendees each year are from

outside Wabash County. The lunch hour will be cut back to 90 minutes and the only food offered at the Honeywell Center will be the Eugenia’s Buffet in Legacy Hall for $8.75. None of the trips to attractions around Wabash and Wabash County will be available, nor will the box lunches that participants could purchase if going on those trips. Registration on Oct. 25 will begin at 8 a.m. The morning general session, featuring Townsend, will be from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. and the afternoon general session, also featuring Townsend, will be from 1:45-3 p.m. Morning workshops will be from 10-11 a.m.; afternoon workshops from 12:30-1:30 p.m.

Wabash Rotary donates $10,000 to United Fund

For the 23rd consecutive year, the Wabash Rotary Club hosted a benefit golf outing on September 17th to kick-off Wabash County United Fund’s annual fundraising campaign. This year’s proceeds generated a $10,000 award to the organization. Accepting on behalf of the United Fund was Steve Johnson, Executive Director. Johnson stated, “The strong support of the annual campaign kick-off from the Wabash Rotary Club and from the community resulted in another successful event.” Rotary members Dave Dorais, Brad Farlow, Art Jasen and Tom Frank worked closely with Johnson during the planning and execution of the event. “We wanted the proceeds from the golf outing to exceed last year’s event, and that’s what happened,” shared Dave Dorais, Wabash Rotary committee chair for the outing. “The committee works hard, works well together, and has a great time organizing this event for a good cause in our community.” Ninety-six golfers took to the tee boxes to enjoy the perfect weather conditions. The event took place at the Honeywell Golf Course with lunch donated by Miller’s Merry Manor. This year’s hole-in-one sponsors were Dorais Chevrolet, Buick, GMC Dealer, Brandt’s Harley- Davidson and INGUARD. Taking team honors was the Bob Land Team (Bob Land, Chris Reynolds, Gary Koerner and Randy Brown). Second place was won by the Rea Logan & Company Team (Linda Rea, Randy Miller, Steve VanVoorhis, and Wayne Denger). Third place went to the REMC Team (Rob Pearson, Bruce Goslee, Roger Cromer, and Jarrod McKee). Golfers who won Closest to the Hole honors included Randy Brown (1); Parker Beauchamp (3); Pat Mitchell (4); Dan Diedrich (5); Bruce Trump (6); Wayne Denger (7, 8, 12); Roger Cromer (9);

Ryan Lewis (10); Randy Wilson (11), Pam Reynolds (13); Tyler Niccum (14); Adam Stakeman (15); Lynn Huddleston (16); Randy Brown (17) and Chris Reynolds (18). Lynn Huddleston had the Longest Drive in the Fairway on Hole #2. Wabash County United Fund 2014 campaign co-chair, Troy Cole, expressed gratitude to the Wabash Rotary Club for the support of the annual campaign. Cole stated, “The Rotary Club kick-off event unites the entire community in our efforts toward a successful campaign.” In addition to the Wabash Rotary Club, the United Fund board of directors would like to thank the following event sponsors: Honeywell Golf Course, Millers’ Health Systems, Dorais Chevy, Buick, GMC, Brandt’s HarleyDavidson,

Community Foundation publishes A Guide to Health & Human Services

The Community Foundation of Wabash County is pleased to provide to the community “A Guide to Health & Human Services in Wabash County.” This quick guide, last produced in 2004, provides contact information for social, medical, educational, family, employment, legal, food, and housing for the residents of Wabash County who are in need and may not know where to turn for assistance. The new guide, available in print and online versions, is arranged by categories in which over 200 organizations are listed with their respective phone numbers. In the online version, available on the C o m m u n i t y Foundation website, w w w. c f w a b a s h . o r g , each organization’s name is also linked to its own webpage to provide complete information about services, eligibility, contacts, and more. “During discussions on homelessness in Wabash County, I discovered that agencies in the county were still using the 10-year-old version of the C o m m u n i t y Foundation’s Resource Directory,” said C o m m u n i t y Foundation Program Director Julie Garber. “It became evident that there was a need for an updated guide so that agencies could have the most up-to-date information available to best assist Wabash County residents.” The Community Foundation ceased publishing a resource directory when 2-1-1 calling became available in Northeast Indiana. The new guide builds on the 211 list, adding numerous informal resources, such as church-sponsored community meals and school-based resources not listed in the 211 directory. The local list also includes several services in neighboring counties that are not in the same calling region. The C o m m u n i t y Foundation plays a significant role in relating to and supporting local nonprofit organizations in the county and offers this resource as a service to Wabash County citizens. “The county is

blessed with many compassionate and caring individuals who share the time and talent to serve others. We are pleased to assist them with this useful source book,” said Patty Grant, C o m m u n i t y Foundation executive director. The Community Foundation will distribute the guide to over 100 organizations, including but not limited to churches, schools, lawyers, and law e n f o r c e m e n t . Additionally, a limited quantity of print versions of A Guide to Health & Human Services in Wabash County will be available at the Community Foundation, 218 East Main Street, North Manchester. For the most current and up to date information, Wabash residents are encouraged to view the online version at www.cfwabash.org, as it will be updated regularly. Any organizations that would like to link to the guide on the C o m m u n i t y Foundation website are welcome to do so. When notified of the new guide, Amelia France, Southwood High School guidance counselor said, “I have been using the old resource guide to help me provide assistance to the families of my students as needs arise in their lives. I am very excited to see the new guide lists numerous resources that I did not know existed. Thank you for putting help right at my fingertips!” If you would like to offer corrections or suggestions for additions to the Health & Human Services Guide, please contact Reily Frankum at 260-9824824 or reily@cfwabash.org. Celebrating its 60th year, the Community Foundation of Wabash County is privileged to serve Wabash County by investing and safeguarding over $33 million in charitable assets. The Foundation provides citizens of any means an opportunity to support the charities and causes of their choice through named endowment funds, while also supporting education, students, and those with critical needs through grants from the Good

Deeds and other unrestricted endowments. Contributions to the Good Deeds Endowment are currently being matched

$1 for $1 by Lilly Endowment GIFT Initiative. The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County is located at 218

E. Main St., North Manchester, Indiana. For more information, v i s i t www.cfwabash.org, or call 260-982-4824.

Record turnout of local business leaders for positive coaching workshop A record, 109 business professionals from Wabash, North Manchester, Kokomo, and Tipton, recently found an easy way to do so, by participating in a high impact, half-day management development and leadership successtraining workshop on Positive Coaching, presented by Alan Siepker of HR Ideas Unlimited on Wednesday, Oct. 1, in Wabash. For the past five years, HR Ideas and business sponsors like: Midwest Eye Consultants, Ford

Meter Box Company, Inc., Kelly Services, Wabash MPI Carver, and Beacon Credit Union, have come together to support the agencies of the Wabash County United Fund by donating a portion of the registration fees. Steve Johnson, Wabash County United Fund, Executive Director said, “These valuable success workshops are extremely well attended. It is good to see people from a wide variety of businesses coming together to learn,

share, and help others. Wabash County continues to progress and grow because of these great business professionals who care about making this a great community for everyone to live and work. The agencies of the Wabash County United Fund appreciate the generous support we receive from the business community and their employees.” HR Ideas is an association of local working professionals who conduct human resource, manage-

ment, and leadership training workshops and customized training, designed to help other area business professionals to better understand how to successfully navigate and achieve better results. “These events are a great opportunities to provide additional training for the local business community and benefit the local non-profit community who serve Wabash County. This is exactly what it’s like to live UNITED”, stated Eric Lundmark, a member

Volunteer fireman cannot hold local office, according to new bill Dear editor, Members of your local volunteer fire departments have now become second-class citizens by virtue of a law passed by our legislators. This is a letter of concern. I am a volunteer firefighter in the State of Indiana and been one of over 40 years. In 2012, our State Legislature passed a bill that does not allow volunteer firefighters to hold an

elected office in the area of where they reside and serve. If you cannot hold a local elected office in the area you live and serve then you cannot hold any local elected office. No other volunteer group was singled out. Volunteer firefighters provide service (fire protection, rescue service and emergency medical service) to about 75 or 80 percent of the state. We have become sec-

ond-class citizens in our own state. There are over 500 firefighters that this law affects right now and 16,000 volunteer firefighters in the future. How can this be possible for our State Legislature to not allow men and women to run for an office based on what they volunteer to do for this state? There are not many people in the state of Indiana that are aware of this. But what you need to

consider if this bill continues to be enforced will be the loss of volunteer firefighters in your area. With the loss of volunteer firefighters, there would be the possibility of fire stations closing due to the lack of manpower. If stations close, fire service for your home or business gets further away and this will make your insurance rates go up due to the response time. Many of the fire

MICHELLE HENDRICKS, Urbana, took reserve champion in Western Pleasure at the 2014 Nutrena East American Quarter Horse Association Level 1 Championship show. (photo provided)

reserve champion rookie title, she also earned 11th place in rookie youth western showmanship, 8th in youth novice age mares and was a finalist in youth novice western pleasure. Level 1 competitors must qualify for this event nationally or through an affiliate to compete in each of the classes representing halter, English and western disciplines. More than 2,135 entries competed for top honors at the Nutrena East AQHA Level 1 Championships. The show was held Sept. 30 – Oct. 5 at the Tennessee Miller Coliseum. Hendricks showed the American Quarter Horse, Miss Sweet Potential who is a bay Mare owned by Kim Hendricks, Urbana. Miss Sweet Potential was sired by Potential Investment and out of Can Do Double Zip. The reserve champion Rookie received a prize package that included an acrylic

trophy and a reserve champion neck wreath. Other awards Miss Hendricks won were a ribbons, top-10 patch and medallion. For full results and coverage from the Level 1 championship shows, visit www.aqha.com/novic echampionships.

departments also run rescue and ambulance services so the response time will be increased on these services too. These are just a few of the things you need to be aware of since this has happened. We need the people to get behind their local departments. We need you to contact your legislators and let them know they need to take a hard look at this problem and repeal the law that makes your volunteer firefighters second-class citizens. You need to think about where this will stop. Making over 16,000 dedicated men and women of this state second-class citizens by not allowing them to be a volunteer firefighter and hold an office. What if you are a teacher, a member of your local emergency planning commission or your local emergency management

agency and they pass a law where you cannot hold local office. Please take a look around and see what is happening in your area and let your legislators this is wrong. For more information or if you want to look the law up yourself, it is IC -3-5-9 and check section 4. Under IC 3-8-1-5 Disqualifications of candidates- the only

class of citizenship mentioned is that of “felony.” Your local volunteer firefighters need your help in overturning this unfair law. We all need to speak with our state legislators and ask them to reverse this law and stop making our volunteers second-class citizens.

Motorists are reminded to use extra caution when driving in rural areas of Indiana. Deer are generally more active in the early morning (pre-dawn) hours or the hours just after dusk but could be on the move at anytime.

Motorists should take the following precautions when driving in rural areas to avoid having a crash involving a deer: •When possible use high beam headlights at night and be aware that deer could be standing on or near

the side of the roadway. •Drivers should watch approaching vehicles and observe what may break their headlights beams; it could be a passing deer. This technique allows extra time to slow your speed and be alert for the deer. •Watch for reflections from the deer’s eyes. •Where there is one deer there are often several. Do not assume you missed the deer because more could follow. BE ALERT! •If your vehicle strikes a deer, do not touch it. A frightened or wounded deer can cause you serious bodily injury. Remain in your car, make sure you and your passengers are safe, and call the police to obtain a crash report for your insurance company. You should report this as you would any other crash. •Make sure every-

one in your vehicle is buckled up! For more information concerning deer habits, population, and trends in your area contact your local conservation officer or the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife at http://www.in.gov/dn r/ or call 317-232-4200.

MSD School Board candidates talk Common Core, consolidation at forum ...continued from page 11 4-H shooting sports instructor and an NRA rifle instructor,” said Snyder. “We live in rural Wabash. Most of us have guns in our homes, and most of us know how to use them. There’s been case after case after case of armed teachers, of armed principals, within your building, that are already carrying those duties and taking care of those responsibilities, that know your students, that know whose sup-

posed to be in and out of those buildings, and it just makes budget sense. You already have those people there, and they’re at a moment’s notice to be ready. Who’s going to walk into a building or an office when you know that there’s one looking at you on the other side of the door. It’s a little bit of a deterrent.” The final issue of the night was consolidation. Over the past few years, there has

been talk of MSD and Wabash City Schools consolidating into a single district. The districts already share curriculum and technology directors. Some see consolidation as a way to save money and believe that it could open more academic opportunities for students. Others think that smaller schools offer a better academic experience. Driscoll and Fleck were largely opposed to it. “I’m not in favor of consolidation. I’ve

munity, if were just consolidating for the sake of consolidating, just because we can become a 3A school or we can better compete with athletics…I think it all comes down to a budget.” “I’m not sure yet,” said Dazey. “One of the things that I’ve promised to do is to keep an open mind, so that I can learn from the experts and decide. From an outside point of view, I’m not sure I’m for it, and the board and the superintendent will have a little ways to go to convince me otherwise.” Dazey also made note of the fact that, if the boards vote to consolidate, the decision would have to pass a referendum vote of the constituents. Adamson confirmed this. “It depends on which type of consolidation,” said Adamson, noting that there are four kinds. “I would assume it would be a true consolidation, in which case they would dissolve both corporations and unite into a new corporation, and that would have to go before a vote in both areas.” With the questions complete, candidates had two minutes each for closing statements. Following these, the forum came to a close. On Nov. 4, voters will head to the polls to make their decision. The northeast district seat will be retained by Driscoll or taken by Fleck. The northwest district seat will be filled by Dazey or Snyder. Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 6 p.m.

always been opposed to it. At this point in time, I see no need for that,” said Driscoll. “We have two schools, Northfield and Southwood, that are in the top 90% in the state of Indiana in efficiency. Why would you get rid of those buildings? The board would have to approve, and I’m not there. In a smaller school, there’s so much more opportunity for kids to participate. Once you consolidate and become one big unit, we lose that.” “I really don’t want to see consolidation. If consolidation were to happen, the most that I would want to see happen would be to combine administrations, so you have one school board, one superintendent, less administrative staff, and hopefully lowering the tax rates,” said Fleck. “If consolidation happens, who I think is going to get hit the hardest is farmers, because… the farm economy is starting to turn, but the taxes are going up, and if you consolidate, I think you’re going to see that situation getting worse. Everybody’s telling me how great it would be academically; I think there’s things that we could do to improve our academics without going this route.” Dazey and Snyder were unsure. “I don’t know that it’s necessarily bad, depending on why we’re doing it,” said Snyder. “Without having the information readily available, if it’s not in the best interest of our students, in the best interest of our com-
