Wabash City Trick-or-Treating Oct. 31st • 5-8pm to speak at A bright future for Hanna Park Bradley National Freeze Local service organizations collaborate to rebuild neighborhood park

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com It’s an exciting time for the City of Wabash. In so many areas, the city is being updated, transformed, and repurposed in an effort to create a vibrant, modern small town. In all the excitement, a local group saw one area of the city that was not being addressed through these efforts: the city’s small, neighborhood parks. The Hanna Park Project Committee was created as a collaborative effort between local service organizations with a single goal in mind: take responsibility for one of Wabash’s neighborhood parks and completely transform it, from a largely unused and ignored space into a destination for local families and children. With the help of other local service clubs, businesses, and individuals, the committee is working to ensure that its vision becomes a reality. On Oct. 1, the Kiwanis Club’s Board of Directors voted to donate $15,000 to the project, more than half of the club’s service budget for the year. “I am thrilled with the club’s decision to commit to the Neighborhood Parks Project,” said Wabash Kiwanis Club President Jordan Tandy. “We’ve always had an active and service-oriented membership, but I don’t know that we’ve ever tackled something of this magnitude before. The board’s decision to make this significant contribution is a great demonstration of the club’s commitment to our mission, which is to serve children.” The idea for the project originally came from a Kiwanis member. “Judy Ward, she’s the president-elect, she had the idea of focusing on one of

The Hanna Park Project Committee has recently formed by members of local service organizations to address the neighborhood park on Wabash’s east side. The committee hopes to raise enough money to completely revamp the park, which currently has little to offer neighborhood children. (photos provided) the neighborhood parks,” said Tandy. Wabash has three small neighborhood parks: Hanna Park on East Hill Street, South Side Park on Vernon Street, and Broadmoor Park on Broadmoor Drive. “I talked to Todd Titus, the parks superintendent, and I kind of asked, ‘which park could we get the most bang for our buck,’” Tandy continued. The answer, it turned out, was Hanna Park. The park is most familiar to people who live in Wabash’s historic district and those who travel in and out of town on Old 24. It is also just a short walk uphill and around the corner from Paradise Spring Historical Park. While the park has a pavilion and basketball court, both are showing their age. In addition, the park lacks playground

equipment of any kind. “I don’t know how many people go by Hanna Park. It’s on the way to Lagro, but it’s basically on the corner of town right now,” said Tandy. “We really want it to be something cool enough that it’s going to be a destination for people.” The current vision includes a large playground system, as well as rejuvenation of the existing facilities. The park will continue to be maintained by the city, and the committee has been in close contact with the parks department throughout the planning process. During this process, the committee soon found out that quality playground equipment is pricey. “Going in, I thought, ‘Well, if we can (continued on page 31)

City Councilmember Margaret “Boo” Salb announces candidacy for mayor in 2015 by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Friday, Oct. 17, City Councilmember Margaret “Boo” Salb was joined by friends, family, and supporters at the Northeast Business Park for a very important announcement. “I’m here to officially announce that I’m going to be running as a democratic mayoral candidate in the 2015 election,” Salb said as those present applauded. Salb was joined by her husband, John, a former conservation officer, as well as her two daughters and other family members from across the country. She is the third candidate to make such an announcement, behind fellow councilmember and republican Scott Long and Wabash Fire Chief Bob Mullett, who she will run against in the May 2015 primary for the Democratic Party nomination. “I’ve always called Wabash my home, and it always will be my home,” said Salb. “This community has instilled my values and beliefs, and I believe that we (continued on page 5)

ERNIE BRADLEY PETS HIS DOG, Mc, just days after a hot pursuit across Bradley’s property resulted in both of his dogs being shot by a police officer last March. Bradley will speak at the state capitol Saturday during the National Freeze Don’t Shoot March. (photo by Eric Stearley) by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Ernie Bradley of rural Liberty Mills is heading to the Indiana Statehouse to deliver a speech during the National Freeze Don’t Shoot March on Oct. 25. Bradley’s life was turned upsidedown on March 10 when North Manchester Police pursued multiple drug offenders on foot from a residence in Liberty Mills. When the pursuit crossed through Bradley’s property, his dogs, Kramer and Mc, ran toward the officers and were shot. Kramer was killed instantly, while Mc survived, eventually losing his left eye. Since then, Bradley has become passionate about the issue and discovered that people across the country have been put in similar situations. “After what happened, I was putting things on Facebook. I had some people put up the website for me called “Justice for Kramer and Mc,” and after I got involved in this, everyone else that this has been happening to all over the nation started posting similar sties.” The online community of distraught pet owners has collaborated for a nationwide event, organized by Donna Earley. On Oct. 25, at every state capital in the nation, victims and supporters will gather to demonstrate against police shooting pets. Bradley will be the guest speaker at the march in Indianapolis. He will deliver his speech at noon. “My message is going to be, we want proper training for our police officers,” said Bradley. “I researched after this happened to me, and I found out, (continued on page 5)

Richvalley United Methodist Women hold meeting

The Richvalley United Methodist Women met recently at the church. Deanna Unger gave the lesson showing a DVD about Kids Hope USA. Her daughter, Lisa Unger Weissert, is one of the directors of the program at Triton Elementary. Their mission is to build caring, lifechanging relationships one at a time – one church, one school, one mentor, one child, one hour. Everyone was reminded that each person can make a difference in someone’s life. Many children lack a positive adult

role model, so this new program is making a difference. Members were thanked for assisting with the Eugene Wilson funeral dinner. Patty Sausaman was thanked for making many sanitary items for Operation Warehouse project. Members voted to not hold meetings in January or February. The next meeting will be Nov. 5 at 7 p.m., with roll call being a favorite song from the Bible. Members are reminded to bring their thanks offering and to read 1st and 2nd Thessalonians for discussion.

Laketon Lions say thank you Dear editor, The Laketon Lions Club wants to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt thank you to the community for supporting the annual September Fish Fry at Warvel Park. A very special thank you to the Music Boosters students and parents for advance ticket sales and working the event to make it a successful and enjoyable evening. (The weatherman added greatly, too. Sorry about the ‘honey bees’ gathered at the drink table.) The club is appreciative for contributions made from New Market, Parks and

Recreation, Main View and Sharon Smith. The Lions state and international projects include: Leaderdog, Cancer Control, Indiana Eye Bank (many boxes are placed throughout the county for collection of glasses), Speech and Hearing, Indiana Lions Foundation, Indiana School for the Blind, LCIF, and Diabetes and Measles. The Laketon Lions is a very active club,

and their annual local contributions include (to name a few) Reins for Life, North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society, MRA Sponsorship, Ivy Tech Monopoly Night, Manchester Learning Center, Laketon American Legion Boys State, Honors Student L u n c h e o n , Manchester High School After School Prom, Music Boosters, Shepherd Center, High 5-

Baseball team shirts, Wabash County Hospital Foundation, and Dictionary Project for local schools. It is through the community’s support of annual projects like the Easter Bunny Breakfast, Discount Cards, Elephant Ear/Tenderloin Booth, Fish Fry and Holiday Bazaar that they are capable of making their international and local contributions. Again,

thank you. The Laketon Lions Club welcomes new members. If you would like to be a part of an active community organization and learn more about Lions International, call President Becky Warmuth or any local Lion member. This is the year of “ask one,” and “where there is a need, there is a Lion!”

City Councilmember Margaret “Boo” Salb announces candidacy for mayor in 2015...continued from front page have passed those on to our daughters, Keri and Kaitlyn, as well as our four grandchildren.” In addition to eleven years on city council, Salb has worked as an educator for 27 years, spending the last 22 years as a student advocate at Northfield Jr./Sr. High School. She plans to draw on this experience should she be elected. “I have managed a classroom for 27 years,” said Salb. “I believe that managing a classroom with teenagers is hard enough, and I believe that I will bring a lot of management skills to the office.” The location of the announcement was of special significance. “As we stand at this Northeast Business

Park, I envision seeing it filled to capacity, and I plan on working closely with E c o n o m i c Development and other county officials to see this come to fruition,” said Salb. “That’s probably my main goal.” Salb would also like to see improvements to residential areas that she believes have worn down and been forgotten. Anyone considering running for Mayor of Wabash is watching the Stellar projects closely, and Salb is no exception. “I’m planning on working closely with the Stellar committee in order to fulfill our goals and deadlines, to fulfill our promise to the community, and they need to be commended for their hard

work and diligence in putting Wabash on the map as a Stellar Community,” said Salb. “I hope that M a y o r Vanlandingham will continue to work with that committee in the future.” Salb also hopes to utilize the city’s young talent to make things happen. “It’s exciting to see how involved our young people have been. They’ve moved back into the community and challenged the city to grow,” said Salb. “I feel I‘ve got a good relationship with the younger group in town. I’ll continue working with them and getting them involved. There are so many exciting things happening now. The downtown is beautiful; my sister is

here from Texas, and she’s so impressed with what’s going on in Wabash. I look forward to continuing that.” If elected, Salb would be the first female Mayor of Wabash. She hopes that her candidacy will, among other things, get more people to the polls. “My hopes are that I would be elected on my beliefs and values and what I want to do to the city. I think in this day and age, people are voting for the person they believe will do the best job, instead of going in and pulling the lever as a straight ticket,” said Salb. “I’m hoping to get more people out to vote. We’ve always had a low turnout at elections, and I’m hoping more people

Bradley to speak at National Freeze Don’t Shoot March...continued from front page it’s somewhat protocol for police officers, as soon as they come into contact with a canine animal, to kill it, so that it doesn’t become involved in whatever they’re doing. Colorado has special training for police officers, and what were asking for is mandatory training of police officers for when they come into contact with a canine.” In addition, Bradley plans to talk about hot pursuits and how they are should be handled. “Anytime a hot pursuit becomes uncontrolled, it should be shut down and regrouped, and this was completely out of hand,” said Bradley. “The community was definitely put in harms way, and we were not the first concern for [the officer]. The community should be the first concern of that officer.” Finally, Bradley will talk about consti-

tutional rights and how he believes they have eroded. “During the War on Terror and the War on Drugs, we’ve lost a lot of our freedom. They’ve taken away our fourth amendment rights, without proper search and seizure anymore, coming on your property,” said Bradley. “Looking back at this, it’s just really hurt my soul completely. It’s like you’re not even safe in your home anymore. I don’t know if I’m ever going to get over the loss of freedom that was taken away from me that day, you know? You want to see your home as your sanctuary. I don’t want to see another family have to go through this.” Since the incident in March, Bradley has taken steps to ensure that this won’t hap-

pen to his family again. After the North Manchester Police Department was contacted by Bradley’s attorney, he received a settlement from the Town of North Manchester. He used this money to erect a 5-foot-tall fence around his property. “I was lucky; I didn’t have to fence in the back or the side, because the river actually goes about two-thirds of the way around my property, so I just had to fence the front section in.” Bradley has yet to replace Kramer, the dog that he lost. “I’m wanting to get a big black Newfie,” said Bradley, who is especially fond of the Newfoundland breed. “I’m looking for an older Newf now. My wife doesn’t like the idea of raising another puppy.”

As for the puppy he’s already got, he’s huge, and doing well. He’s adapted well to life with one eye and has had no more medical issues related to the shooting. “Mc’s a 150-160 pound puppy now, but he’s still just a little over a year old,” said Bradley. “He’s a big dog, and ya, he can get a little destructive on things, moving around. You’ve gotta watch what you keep in the yard.” Bradley will address the crowd at the state capital on Saturday. “I’m going to keep it as civil as possible,” said Bradley. “It’s not a ‘hate police officers’ thing. I think the big thing is, we just need proper training for these people, especially young police officers.”

will come out. This should be a good race.” Though Mayor R o b e r t Va n l a n d i n g h a m ’ s Sept. 18 announcement that he would not see re-election to a fourth term preceded the recent candidacy announcements, the office of mayor has been in Salb’s sights for some time. “This is not something that I just thought of doing in the past few weeks; this is something that I’ve dreamed about for the past four years,” said Salb. “I’ve been working toward this goal. I’ve been involved in the city through the city council, and I feel I’m prepared to go forward and see this city grow. I have a passion for working with the community, and I’m energized and ready to see this city for-

ward as your next mayor.” Salb will run against Mullett, and potentially others, for the democratic nomination in the May 5

primary. The winner will challenge the republican nominee in November 2015. Polls for both elections open at 6 a.m. and close at 6 p.m.

MEMBERS OF THE SOUTHWOOD HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1964 and their guests gathered in Legacy Hall at the Honeywell Center on Saturday, Sept. 20 to celebrate their 50-year class reunion. Senior Class President Mike Emrick was the Master of Ceremonies. Mike began preparing for the reunion months ago. He attempted to personally contact every member of the class. Mike put together a video showing the senior picture of each classmate and he gave a brief description of their interests and achievements throughout the years of both those living and deceased. The class graduated 121 students, of which 64 were present, along with 41 guests. Twenty classmates are deceased. Every member of the class was located.

SOUTHWOOD HIGH SCHOOL OF 1964 met for their 50-year reunion. Classmate Mike “Doc” Emrick was the emcee for the event. He was not aware that his fellow classmates were planning to honor him that night as the Distinguished Alumni of Southwood High School. They presented him with a banner, which now hangs at Southwood High School. While he was in the community, he went to Southwood High and spoke to the student body about life, several people he had met over the years, and how they had struggled to become successful. Both his parents, Charles and Florence Emrick, taught school for MSD. His father was principal of SHS and Somerset. His mother was the Home Economics teacher at LaFontaine High School.

Maxine Baker, 96 Former Wabash County resident Sept. 25, 2014 Maxine (Maple) Baker, 96, died peacefully on Sept. 25, two months after falling and fracturing her arm. She was born on the farm in Urbana, to Alvah and Grace Maple. She met her husband Paul, of 62 years, when playing piano in high school for an operetta and he was singing. She lived most of her married life in North Manchester, raising five children (she was an amazing mother), tending a large garden, and working as a supervisor at a local book bindery. She and Paul moved to Fort Myers, Fla. in 2001 to be near son Brian and wife Jayne. Her “job” was to help bake desserts for their catering events and restaurant.

There she continued to create amazing cross-stitch, read many novels, helped in the large flower garden, and revived her love of playing the piano. Her favorite songs were the hymns she played for the church quartet in Indiana (Paul was the tenor). Maxine was loved by all who knew her for her kindness, sweet smile, and twinkling eyes that didn’t miss a thing. Being helpful was very important to her. She will truly be missed.

From the Indiana DNR: If you see a hunting violation… Less than 1 percent of Indiana’s nearly 400,000 hunters are found to be violating the law while hunting. Finding those violators often requires the input of lawabiding hunters and other citizens who see violations taking place. Now that Hoosier hunting seasons are in full swing, the Indiana conservation officers charged with enforcing the state’s wildlife laws ask concerned citizens to keep two phone numbers handy and enter them on their cell phones. The 24hour Central Dispatch number is 812-837-9536. It documents the caller’s name. The Turn in a Poacher (TIP) hotline number is 1-800TIP-IDNR. It allows the caller to remain anonymous. If you see a suspected violation: 1. Safely gather as much information as you can (vehicle description, plate number, clothing description, number of people, location, direction of travel, etc.) without approaching the subject. 2. Immediately call the appropriate number. 3. Do not communicate with the subject by yelling or informing them that you have called a conservation officer. 4. Continue to stay out of the subject’s area — allow the conservation officer to approach the situation. 5. Cooperate with the conservation officer.

Susan Klingler, 60 Manchester Community School teacher of English 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.

Two men arrested in alleged shooting incident On Oct. 13, a criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Trooper Luke Bowyer resulted in the arrests of James Huffman, 26, Rochester, and M a t t h e w Heckathorn, 37, South Bend. They were both incarcerated in the Miami County Jail. Huffman faces charges for criminal recklessness with a firearm and pointing a firearm.

mately 4:30 p.m., officers from the Indiana State Police responded to a call of reported gunshots fired at a residence on 11631 North County Road 500 West Macy, IN.

scene prior to officer’s arrival. He purportedly left in an S.U.V. driven by Heckathorn. The pair was later located by South Bend Police officers at a residence in South Bend. They were transported back to Miami County. Trooper Bowyer was also assisted by officers from the Miami County S h e r i f f ’ s Department, the Fulton County S h e r i f f ’ s Department, and the Rochester Police Department.

House fire claims life of LaFontaine woman At approximately 6:24 a.m., on Oct. 14, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department responded to a structure fire at 7893 South, 100 East. Upon arrival, officers and rescue personnel observed the southeast corner of the residence was engulfed.

Neighbors advised they believed the owner was inside, due to her vehicle still in the driveway. Deputy Ryan Chambers and Liberty Township Volunteer Fireman Josh Weaver, who were the first on the scene, attempted to gain entry into the home, but were

turned away by the intense smoke inside the residence. Liberty Township and Noble Township Volunteer Fire Departments were on scene and extinguished the fire. The victim, Susan K. Taylor, 58, LaFontaine, was later found inside the resi-

dence. Ms. Taylor was pronounced dead at the scene by Wabash County Coroner Carol Whitesel, with a preliminary cause of death as smoke inhalation. An autopsy and full toxicology examination was scheduled for later that afternoon.

The State Fire Marshal’s office was on scene and is assisting with the investigation. A preliminary cause of the fire is electrical malfunction. Investigating officers are Deputy Ryan Chambers and Major Randy Miller. Agencies assisting include

Liberty Township Volunteer Fire Department, Noble Township Volunteer Fire Department, Wabash Fire and Rescue, LaFontaine Town Marshal, Wabash County Coroner’s Office, State Fire Marshal’s Office and Wabash County EMA.

When ‘water’ isn’t wet Dear editor, If you are a farmer,

homeowner, developer, business owner or local

elected official, now is the time to submit com-

ments to the EPA and Army Corps of

Engineers challenging their expanded defini-

tion of “waters of the U.S.” You can learn more and take action by visiting www.ifbtakeaction.org After years of expanding interpretations, costly enforcement actions and U.S. Supreme Court decisions defining EPA’s authority as Congress intended it, in April the two agencies issued a proposed rule. The proposed rule is supposed to provide clarity and reduce agency authority consistent with U.S. Supreme Court decisions, but the agencies are proposing a rule that is anything but clear and considerably broadens their regulatory reach. Farm Bureau and other groups representing citizens from all walks of life have attempted to get EPA to more clearly explain its intent and what the rule means. Instead of a clear explanation we’ve been given agency doublespeak that sharply conflicts with the expansive authority of the rule. In fact, the rule is so bad that the House of

Representatives passed bipartisan legislation to restrict the ability of EPA and the Corps to regulate “waters” which are generally dry land. That’s right – they are trying to regulate dry land such as areas that have water present only when it rains. It’s hardly the “navigable waters” that Congress intended when they wrote the Clean Water Act. We all want clean water. Clean water is achieved by working with people to find real solutions to real problems. This proposed rule simply creates government bureaucracy that keeps everyone from focusing on positive things that can be done. For more information, please visit www.infarmbureau.or g/waterrule. If adopted, this rule will affect your livelihood forever.

Engvall brings laughs to the Honeywell Center by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com

Bill Engvall returned to the Honeywell Center after a two - year absence, bringing with him new experiences to regale the audience and some of his classic “Here’s Your Sign” comedy to keep the audience laughing from beginning to end. Engvall, 57, recently competed on Season 17 of Dancing with the Stars, with new dance pro, Emma Slater, after having knee surgery. Engvall believes there is some

validity to the warning doctors give after major surgery about not making important decisions while on pain medication. Engvall was contacted by Dancing with the Stars the day after his surgery to be on the show. After agreeing, Engvall went on the ride of his life with Slater. Thinking he would only appear on the show for the first few weeks, Engvall made it 13 weeks and into the finals, finishing fourth in the competition, even with a torn groin. Engvall attributes his 13-week run to his fans continuously voting for him

and Slater. Finding big fame on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, Engvall has also hosted Lingo, participated in Blue Collar TV, hosted Country Fried Home

Videos, and had his own sitcom, The Bill Engvall Show. Spending the evening joking about getting older, his wife’s lack of acceptance of her age and

how they diet together when his wife doesn’t like the way she looks kept the practically sold out crowd roaring all evening, looking at one another with that “that’s

Wabash Reader’s Theater to present Spooky Stories at the Honeywell House Wabash Readers’ Theater will present a dramatic reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” and other selections from American literature that evoke the mystery of the Hallowed Evening. This presentation will take place at the Honeywell House on Wednesday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. Join us as we explore the spirits and emotions of Halloween though great literary works in the quiet elegance of one of Wabash’s most serene locales. Sponsorship for this program is provided by The Ford Meter Box Company, Inc. Actors Ham Sadler, Jake Halderman, Jane Willmert, and Cindy Rich will present the following lineup of stories: “Annabelle Lee” by Edgar Allen Poe, “The Bells” by Edgar Allen Poe, “The Legend of Sleepy Valley” or “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving, and “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe. The Wabash Readers’ Theater’s mission is to bring aural art to the people of Wabash County. Plays are intended to be both visual and aural artistic expressions of creativity of the playwright. However, many wonderful plays are never seen or heard because of the time and expense of producing a play. The Wabash Readers’ Theater intends to remedy

this by producing readings of plays and poems in public venues. There is no intention to produce the visual component of stage productions. By limiting the production to solely the aural content the Wabash Readers’ Theater is able to produce more with significantly fewer resources and at a lower cost. This Honeywell House event is free of charge and open to the public. Please call 260-563-2326 ext. 21 for reservations.

Were you on the ground?” To which Engvall responds, “Nope. Santa was making one last run. Here’s your sign.” (photo by Emily Armentrout)

Hesychia House opens “Season of Prayer” Hesychia House, a 24-7 prayer ministry, is embarking on another season of prayer, which is three-fold and purpose driven. First of all, Hesychia House is partnering with the “Live Life” Conference by seeking to provide prayer coverage for this special event, which will take place on Saturday, Oct. 25. Organizers believe it is a privilege to come along side of them through the muchneeded efforts of community prayer warriors in a tagteam fashion. Secondly, the annu-

al Shekinah event for junior and senior high school students is set to begin on Nov. 3. This event will go into area high schools for assemblies between Nov. 36, with the final event taking place on Nov. 6 at Northfield High School at 7 p.m. Organizers believe much prayer is needed for this event for our youth. Lastly, the group wants to uphold the November election, in which very important matters will be voted upon. “Before we got out the vote, let’s get out the prayer and seek him as the upcoming

November elections approach,” said a representative for Intercessors for America. The group’s goal is to have 17 days of prayer coverage, beginning Oct. 21 through Nov. 6. These dates include four days leading up

to the Live Life Conference through election day and the Shekinah event. The hours to fill are from 6 a.m. through the 7 p.m. hour. This would be a total of 238 hours in just over two weeks! The Hesychia House is looking for individu-

als or groups to be part of this tag-team effort. They are in the process of gathering specific prayer points/requests for these two events and plan to make these available at the prayer house, located at 433 N. Wabash

Street, and on their webpage, hesychia247prayer.org. If you could help us find people from your church to join in this effort who would commit to an hour, it is urgent that you touch base with your Hesychia House contact person or

someone from Hesychia House as soon as possible. Prayer captains are Pat Kirby, 5712774; Jennifer Mahan, 571-8063; Shirley Neale, 5910047; Angie Penix, 571-9809; and Debbie Sweet, 571-6072.

Local churches collaborate for “Season of Life in Praise” The choirs of Wabash Christian Church and the W a b a s h Presbyterian Church will join together in a musical celebration, “Seasons of Life in Praise,” on the evening of Sunday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary of Wabash Christian Church. The service will feature music by the choirs, some soloists, and musicians from the churches. The community is invited to this evening with many opportunities for participation in the musical celebration. The theme, celebrating the seasons, is based on the poem “In All the Seasons Seeking God”. The popular folk song “Turn, Turn, Turn”, with text from the book of Ecclesiastes, reminds us that “there is a time for every purpose under H e a v e n . ” Springtime is a season for new life and

rebirth, summer a time when we are full of life and can do work, autumn is a time for thanksgiving for all of our blessings, winter is a time for reflection as we serve God and look to heaven. Many styles of church music – old standard hymns (Tell Me the Stories of Jesus, When in Our Music God is Glorified, Jesus Loves Me, For the

Beauty of the Earth, Lord Jesus, I Long to be Perfectly Whole, Let There Be Peace on Earth, Precious Lord, Take My Hand), choral anthems (Let Heavenly Music Fill This Place, Just a Closer Walk with Thee, Back to the Church in the Wildwood featuring new arrangements of familiar hymns), praise music (My Life is in You, Lord,

Give Thanks, My Tribute, Majesty), ethnic praise music (We are Walking in the Light of God), new hymns (Hymn of Promise, On Eagles Wings) and some “popular” music with religious overtones (Bless the Beasts and the Children, What a Wonderful World) will be included in the evening. Music directors for the two churches

are Judy Ward and Rick Elliott. Accompanists will be Susan Keefer, Jane Willmert, and Rick Elliott on keyboards, Jonathan Cornell, Jane Willmert, and Bob Mattern on guitars, and Bob Ferguson on percussion. Plan to join us for this evening of special musical worship in praise. A reception will follow in the fellowship hall.

quality, wildlife habitat, and other resource concerns on cropland, forestland, pastureland, and livestock areas. In addition to conservation practices like cover crops, no-till, manure storage structures, and fencing, EQIP provides funding for the development of plans, such as Comprehensive N u t r i e n t Management Plans, Grazing Plans, Drainage Water Management Plans, and others. “I want to remind farmers that a conservation plan must be developed for the area that is included in an EQIP contract,” Hardisty said. “When

farmers develop a conservation plan for their farm, it speeds up the application process and oftentimes practices are applied more strategically.” There are several EQIP initiatives included in the signup, where NRCS sets aside financial assistance for specific practices and producers. Examples include practices that improve on-farm energy, assist in the organic transition process, add wildlife habitat, and target certain practices such as seasonal high tunnels. Indiana NRCS also sets aside approximately 10 percent of

the Indiana EQIP financial assistance program for historically underserved participants, which include beginning farmers, socially disadvantage farmers, limited resource producers, and military veteran farmers and ranchers. If you are interested in learning more, definitions are located at http://www.nrcs.usda .gov/wps/portal/nrcs /main/national/people/outreach/slbfr. Applications for the EQIP Landscape Initiatives, which include MRBI, GLRI, GLRI Phosphorus Initiative, and NWQI, are also due by December 19th. Funds

for these water quality initiatives are targeted to particular watersheds in Indiana based on the priority resource concerns of those areas. Information about these programs and eligible watershed(s) can be found on the NRCS website at http://www.in.nrcs.u sda.gov/programs/. “Don’t wait until the last minute to contact your local NRCS field office about signing up,” Hardisty said. “Our NRCS district conservationists can help you with your conservation plan and the program application process.”

At its Oct. 15 business meeting, the Indiana State Board of Education heard appeals from traditional public, private and public charter schools regarding the Department of Education’s calculation of A-F school accountability grades. The Board ultimately decided to delay release of the grades until its next meeting on Nov. 5. Citing errors uncovered during the appeals process that raised questions about data reliability for multiple schools, as well as a request for the Legislative Services Agency to complete its audit of the DOE’s calculations, the Board asked the DOE to address all identified issues and

reflect the appeals decisions made by the SBOE following the meeting’s deliberations. The Board discussed the A-F appeals process for all schools at two recent Board meetings, and adopted criteria for the appeals process at its Sept. 3 meeting. For atypically configured schools, including schools that have expanded by adding new grade levels but don’t fall within the language of the accountability rule, the Board voted last month to assess these schools on a case-bycase basis rather than try to force a formulaic approach. Dr. Brad Oliver, Sixth District representative, noted that it was important for the

Board to focus on what he referred to as “substantive due process” for schools that aren’t addressed within the accountability regulations, and to apply a common sense approach. “Where the [A-F] rule is silent, it is reasonable for the Board to look at the preponderance of evidence and make a reasonable decision,” explained Dr. Oliver. “At the end of the day, if these letter grades don’t communicate something reasonable based on the data, what good are they anyway?” Saint Theodore Guerin High School, West Noble School Corporation and Christel House Academy South each offered their perspectives on how the DOE evaluated their appeal request and determined the school’s accountability grade. Guerin High School described its attempts to ascertain why its International Baccalaureate test results were not included in the school’s letter grade. More than 76% of students passed the IB exam, three times the 25% requirement in the A-F regulation, yet the school’s appeal was denied. “Above all else, we want the system to have integrity. When we release all of these grades across the state, I want them to mean something,”

emphasized Board member Sarah O’Brien, Fourth D i s t r i c t Representative. “Looking at the data before us, I’m going to make sure I do whatever I can within statute and rule to make sure that the letter grades match what we’re seeing in those buildings.” Christel House Academy’s Chief Academic Officer Cary Dahncke noted the DOE based its letter grade recommendation upon two of eight possible data points in the high school portion of the accountability model, and thus was weighting the performance of its entire high school on a class of 46 10th graders. The school appealed this approach and asked the Board to consider basing the school’s grade on the full complement of eight data points from its elementary/middle school grades to better reflect the school’s performance. “No high school grade should be based on 10th grade indicators alone,” said Andrea Neal. “High schools deserve the opportunity to show progress through 10th grade, but we have no idea what those 9th graders look like. To base a letter grade on one fourth of the population is unfair, end of story.” Carpe Diem, an (continued on page 27)

SPORTS Lady Apaches survive on Senior Night October 22, 2014

by Gary Andrews It was senior night and breast cancer awareness night at Wabash Thursday. The Lady Apaches won in a sweep over North Miami Wednesday and it looked as though they would repeat that performance against Eastern on Thursday as they grabbed a 2-0 lead, then survived a Comet comeback to win in five games 2520, 25-22, 18-25, 20-25, 16-14. Falling behind 2-0 to start the night Wabash would get a kill from Sydni Mullett and an ace from Jaycee Parrett to score three straight and grab the lead. The two teams would battle back and fourth until Eastern led 11-10 and the Apaches got hot. After a Comet error Mullett would drive home another kill that was followed with two aces from Sarah Ritter as Wabash scored four straight and led 15-11. Eastern would inch their way back and eventually tie the score at 17 before Ritter and Kristin Cromer got busy leading the Apaches to a 83 run down the stretch to win game one 25-20. Eastern would get

the good start in game two, grabbing a 6-3 lead and building the lead to 13-8 when Wabash had an answer. With Claire Cromer serving the Lady apaches would score 8 straight points and take the lead at 16-13. During the run Katie Ford had three kills with Ritter getting a kill and Cromer an ace. Wabash would hold the lead until 2218 when Eastern made a run. The Comets went on a 5-0 run to grab a 23-22 lead before the Apaches derailed the train. Tied at 23 Katie Ford nailed a kill for the lead then Sydni Mullett stuffed a block for the final point as the Apaches won 25-23 and led 2-0. Things were looking bleak for Wabash in game three as Eastern raced out to a 10-3 lead when the Apaches made a run. Mullett would score twice on tips and was followed with a kill from Taylor Cain and a kill form Ford as Wabash scored 7 straight to tie the score at 10. Eastern had the answer though, building their lead back to 1812 and as close as Wabash could get was 21-18 before the Comets scored four

It looked like the Apaches would rebound from game three when they took off to a 5-1 lead in game four. With Shelby Stone serving Wabash would get a tip and two kills form Sarah Ritter to grab the lead, but Eastern would answer and score 8 of the next 10 points to go up 9-7. The Comets would continue to build on their lead and were up 17-10 when Wabash made things interesting. Three aces from Claire Cromer sparked a 5-0 run as the Apaches trailed 15-17. With Eastern up 17-20 Ritter would kill again as Wabash

scored three straight to tie the score at 20. Eastern would then score five straight to win game four 20-25 and force a fifth game. After struggling the last two games, it carried over to game five as the Comets jumped out to a 4-9 lead. Wabash would then regroup with Mullett getting a kill while Kristin Cromer served two aces to cut the lead to 8-9. Down 10-12 the Apaches would go to Katie Ford who scored 4 of the next 6 game points with four kills as Wabash tied the score at 14. The Apaches would then force two Comets errors to win game five 16-14 and survive

a 3-2 win. Katie Ford had 15 kills. Kristin Cromer had 7 kills, 10 points, and 22 digs. Sarah Ritter had 14 kills and 14 points. Sydni Mullett had 9 kills. Jaycee Parrett had 5 kills, 33 assists, 8 points, and 37 digs. Shelby Stone had 12 points and 41 digs. Claire Cromer had 11 points and 24 digs. The Wabash junior varsity won 25-14, 2514.

Norse wrap up county title with win over Squires by Gary Andrews The Northfield football team was in control of their own destiny Friday to capture the county championship as Manchester came calling with the same title on the line for the Squires. A win by the Norse would give them a perfect 3-0 county record, while a Squire win would force the tie-breaker

system to determine a champion. For three quarters Friday, the game was up for grabs before a 20 point fourth quarter by Northfield gave the Norse a 34-7 win and the monster 105.9 the Bash traveling trophy for at least a year. Manchester would get the ball first to start the game, but went three and out

with the Norse wasting little time striking first. On Northfield’s first play Jared Short would scamper 33 yards to the Manchester 31, then six plays later score on a 21 yard sweep to make it 6-0 with 8:01 on the clock. The Squires were moving backwards on their next possession before a roughing the

passer call on the 3 yard line negated a Short interception and gave Manchester the ball on the 18. The Squires would make the Norse pay for their penalty, riding Jacob Casper and Evan Milam down the field with Lucas Schilling punching it in from 1 yard out with 1:07 left to give Manchester a 7-6 lead.

Northfield ended the quarter with two Josh Bickel runs that went from their own 31 to the Manchester 44. Keeping the drive going on a pass interference call, the Norse kept feeding Bickel until he hit pay dirt from 1 yard out with 8:36 left. Jared Short ran in the two-point conversion and the Norse led 14-7. On

Manchester’s next possession Short would pick off Schilling on the 40, running it back to the Squire 8, but a costly penalty by the Norse and a determined Squire defense held. Northfield had one last shot at the end of the quarter for a score, throwing short passes and getting out of bounds to stop the clock when a fumble in to the end zone was recovered by Jacob Casper to stall the drive as the half ended 14-7. The third quarter had a total of three possessions with the Squires going three and out the only time they had the ball. On Northfield’s second possession the Norse were driving from the 50 and had the ball on the 1 yard line when time expired, still 147. Carter Frieden

would score on a sneak the first play of the fourth quarter and with the Kyle Heiser kick the Norse led 21-7 with 11:56 left in the game. The Squires would go three and out with the Norse looking for the dagger. The Squires saw a dose of Josh Bickel as the Norse marched 68 yards on 9 plays with Frieden scoring again from 1 yard out to give Northfield a 27-7 lead with 4:25 to go. On Manchester’s next possession Bryce Kendall picked off a tipped pass on the Squire 30 to give the Norse one more scoring shot. On third and 1, Bickel would break loose to the 1 yard line, then score form the 6 after a hold with 1:00 remaining to make it 34-7 which would be the final score.

Knights defend home turf against Apaches

by Gary Andrews It was the final game of the regular season and the Wabash County round robin as Wabash paid a visit to Southwood Friday. In a game that wasn’t decided until late, the Knights held on for a 35-21 win. The Knights would get on the board first when a Robbie Cole 39-yard run set up a Nathan Hollars 5yard touchdown run. Goff ’s extra point was good as Southwood led 7–0 with 10:05 left. The Southwood defense would hold as the Knights mounted their second drive of the quarter. Robbie Cole would get the drive going with a 47yard run on an option and eventually scored on a 2-yard keeper to make it 14-0. The Apaches would finally get their offense on track and answer the Knights with Luke Proctor’s 13-yard run up the gut and an extra point makes it 14-7 with 2:37 left in the first quarter, which is where the quarter ended. The Apaches would strike first in the second quarter when Chase Dirig connected with Grant Dirig on a 38-yard scoring strike to even the score at 14 after the Owen Yeadon kick. The Knights would respond with a drive after a 32-yard run by Hollars sets up a Southwood first and goal. The Knights were forced to a field goal attempt that they faked with Chase Dirig inter-

cepted a Blake Martz pass in the end zone and took it out to the 34. The Southwood defense again would hold and took the ball over with on their own 36 with 2:23 left in the half. A 30-yard pass from Cole to Zach Ball put the ball on the Wabash 20. Cole then found Nathan Hollars to the one before Cole found Ball for a 1-yard touchdown with :13.9 seconds left. Goff ’s PAT made it 21-14. The third quarter started with Matt Cox ran a fake punt on 4th down from their own 48 for a 23-yard gain, but Cole was later picked off by Yeadon who ran the ball back to the 21. The Apaches would mount a drive and with 6:15 left in the quarter Dirig found Trevor Vest on a 36yard touchdown pass to knot the score at 21. On the first play of Southwood’s next possession Grant Dirig intercepted Cole’s pass at midfield. Defensive stands by each team gave Wabash the ball on their own 19 after

a Cole punt as the quarter ended 21-21. The Knight defense held to start the fourth quarter, but the offense stalled with Cole placing a kick to the Wabash 3 yard line. Again the Southwood defense would hold the Apaches to no gain, forcing them to punt when Nathan Hollars returned the punt 42 yards for a touchdown with 6:15 on the clock to lead 28-21. Wabash took the ball over with 6:15 remaining, but with 4:09 left turned the ball over on downs. With the Knights moving the ball with 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Wabash gave Southwood the ball on the 17-yard line with 2:17 left. Nathan Hollars would take the next carry inside the five before an off side penalty against the Apaches put the ball on the 3 yard line. One play later Hollars took it in from 3 yards out to open a 35-21 lead with 1:34 on the clock, which would be the final score. For Southwood

Robbie Cole was 11 of 24 for 124 yards, one touchdown. Nathan Hollars rushed 23 times for 114 yards. Robbie Cole added 19 for 114 yards. Matt Cox had 1 rush for 23 yards. Nathan Hollars had 3 receptions for 15 yards. Danny Goff added 2 for 25 yards, Noah Kirk 2 for 21 yards, Zach Ball 2 for 30 yards, Jon Berlier 2 for 33 yards. Luke Perlich and Evan Kirkover led the defense with 10 tackles each. For Wabash Chase Dirig was 13 of 33 for 172 yards, one touchdown. Dirig also rushed 21 times for 60 yards, one touchdown. Luke Proctor added 13 for 64 yards, one touchdown. Grant Dirig had 1 for 7 yards, Trevor Vest had 2 for 1 yard. Grant Dirig had 4 receptions for 69 yards, one touchdown. Trevor Vest added 2 for 42 yards, Luke Proctor 3 for 31 yards, Ian French 3 for 3 for 25 yards, Ben Dillon 1 for 5 yards. Chase Dirig led the defense with two interceptions.

Roser headed to Huntington University NORTHFIELD SENIOR ADAM ROSER signed his letter of intent Wednesday, Oct. 15 to further his baseball career at Huntington University next year. Roser, Northfield’s shortstop, will be filling the same position at Huntington and likely will be the lead off batter or near the top of the order. Last year for the Norse Roser, batted .360, collecting 31 hits while driving in 15 and scoring 29, plus drew 21 walks. Roser was an All Conference selection. Roser will be studying Business and Psychology while at Huntington. “It is close to home and a great baseball program,” said Roser of why he chose Huntington University. “We have no true lead off batter. Adam is a middle infielder, but can play wherever and is expected to play right away,” said Huntington coach Mike Frame. Adam will join his brother, Andy, who is a sophomore at Huntington.

27 Wabash County Retired Teachers Association holds September meeting THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

October 22, 2014

The Sept. 18, meeting of the WCRTA was held at Timbercrest Retirement Center. President Barry Conrad called the meeting to order and began with the Pledge of Allegiance. He introduced Carol Larson, Area 2 director. Six first time attendees were recognized. They were Stella Denney, who began teaching at the School for the Deaf and continued her career at O.J. Neighbours, and Mills for a total of 40 years; Paula Dyer, who retired from MSD-Wabash Area Program as a school psychologist after 39 years; P.J. Canterro from NHS; Lois Snyder from Illinois; and Cal and Carolyn Eichenauer. President Conrad went on to mention that the Indiana Legislature is considering discontinuing the defined benefit (pension). The 3 percent defined contribution would stay in effect. IRTA protects retired teachers. They represent the State membership that is 22,000 out of a total of 44,000 possible members. Volunteer hours are instrumental in their efforts to working for a COLA and 13th check (stipend). The members are encouraged to send letters, notes, and e-mails , or make phone calls to the legislators to make them understand what retired teachers con-

tribute, and what they need. The secretary read the minutes of the last meeting. There were no corrections, so the minutes were approved. The rest of the business meeting was postponed until after lunch and the program given by Brenda Ritz, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Brenda Ritz won her post in an upset election in 2012 due to grassroots effort. She went from a 34 year Board Certified Teacher to State Superintendent. She has reorganized the State Department and established an outreach program. There are now 13 coordinators to work with schools and 10 agencies that work with children. Hoosier Family of Readers, a literacy program for children, has 60 locations around the State. In Indiana 22 percent of the children live in poverty, and 45% receive free and reduced lunches. The Governor’s office has created a second education agency called the Center for Education and Career Innovation, which has used money to form the agency that was formerly used by the Department of Education. She encouraged everyone to stay involved because it is urgent to educate the public so they understand about charter schools

The SBOE voted 7-1 to approve the appeal, affirming the application of the complete set of data from the school’s elementary and middle school grades to reflect the school’s performance. In other business, the Board also a p p r o v e d Kindergarten readiness assessments required for the state’s new Pre-K Pilot Program, and moved to table the

Lead Partner agreement for Indianapolis Public Schools until after an upcoming meeting of its Committee on School Turnarounds, which should help to better clarify roles and responsibilities for both parties. The recommendation came following considerable committee discussions with existing partners and school corporations regarding recommended improvements to Indiana’s current approach to school turnarounds. The next SBOE meeting will be on Nov. 5, at the Indiana Government Center South in Indianapolis.

and funding. Following Ms. Ritz’s talk, the business meeting continued. The Treasurer gave the financial report. Then he presented the proposed budget for the coming year, which had been reviewed and voted on by the officers. A vote was taken and the membership accepted the budget. Marsha Jones, Social Concerns Committee, sent sev-

eral cards and requested information about members who needed cards sent. Juanita Rapp, Community Service, passed out forms for Volunteer Hours that need to be turned in by December. Bettie Miller, Membership, had no report. Mary Jane Toepfer, Legislative, reiterated what President Conrad mentioned

about what the legislature has been discussing. Judy Zolman, Necrology, reported six names of those who had passed away. They were Helen Roberta Yount, Vallette Hartong, Leslie Flott, Clarence Bozarth, Ralph Rogers, and John Baer. This year’s Project is “Change Changes Lives.” Change brought in by the

membership will be donated to the Learnmore Center to help needy students pay for GED testing.

unsanitary, but also unsightly. Possibly next year, they will be put in more appropriate places. When a lot of people still used

A bright future for Hanna Park...continued from front page put together 10,000 bucks for a playground, we can get something pretty impressive,” said Tandy. “That barely gets us a swing set.” “Playground systems are more expensive than you would think, and that doesn’t even include the costs that you have for preparing the site, installing the surface, and landscaping the area,” said committee member Beth Miller. “We are hoping that some of our community-minded citizens and businesses step forward and consider making contributions.” The committee received a strong show of support from the Wabash Rotary Club, which agreed to partner in the project and make a revitalized Hanna Park a reality. “We’re always glad to support another service organization in town,” said Rotary Service Project Committee Member Patty Godfroy. “Like the Kiwanis Club, we want to improve the lives of kids in the community, so we

want to give them something to play on and enhance Hanna Park.” “We are excited at the potential that a transformed Hanna Park could have on the neighborhood east of downtown,” said Rotary Club President-Elect Mitch Figert. This neighborhood is a target area for the owner-occupied rehabilitation program, which is one of the Stellar Communities p r o j e c t s . Neighborhood parks typically draw residents from a quartermile radius. The committee hopes that the presence of a newly renovated park will help boost the image of the entire neighborhood. If the project is a success, the other two community parks could see similar attention in the future. “We also plan on assessing the needs of Broadmoor Park and South Side Park and making improvements there as well,” Figert added. For now, all efforts are focused on Hanna Park. The committee

has applied for several grants, and this week, they received good news. The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County announced on Monday, Oct. 20, that the Hanna Park project was awarded a Good Deeds grant. In addition, one playground equipment manufacturer is offering matching grant money to qualifying projects. “That company is called GameTime, and they’ll match 80 percent of what the committee can come up with if the list price of the equipment is at least $35,000. So basically, if we spend $20,000, they’ll put up $16,000,” said Tandy. “To do that, we have to have the check in hand by Nov. 15, so we’re going to start this push to raise as much money as we can so that we can leverage that into the matching grant and get something pretty exciting.” The committee has been in contact with other local service agencies in hopes that

they will see the project’s potential and join in the effort. The committee is also in the process of contacting local businesses and individuals in hopes of gathering the necessary financial support before the Nov. 15 deadline. “Aside from the playground, we are planning a total cleanup of the entire area,” said Wabash Kiwanis Club President-elect Judy Ward. “We’re going to be upgrading the basketball goals and resurfacing the court. We’ll also be renovating the existing pavilion, adding seating, and replacing or repairing many other pieces, such as the grills and trash cans. We hope and expect that the project will completely transform and activate the space.” Just as valuable as monetary donations are in-kind donations from local businesses and contractors. “Leveling the site is going to be a huge expense, so if there was some excavation company that would donate services, that

would be huge for us,” said Tandy. “The more money we save in those kind of services, the nicer, bigger piece of equipment we can buy. Resurfacing the asphalt on the basketball court will be big as well, and landscaping services possibly; we’re trying to clean up the whole area.” Luckily, with the support of at least two service clubs, some of the hands-on work will be taken care of. “This would be a great community service project for local service organizations,” Ward continued. “The financial aspect is obviously important, but for the project to be a success, we are going to need a good number of volunteers to show up and help with the actual work.” As it turns out, volunteer help is especially important to the project, as they hope to take advantage of a special installation program. “What were looking at with GameTime is called a community build, which means you save a lot of

money on the installation if you can recruit 30-40 people from the community to come for one day and basically assemble the playground,” said Tandy. “The company will come the day before, drill the holes, set everything up, and then the following day, everybody shows up at 8 a.m. You get supervision from the company, but you assemble the whole thing and make a day out of it.” Already, The Northfield High School Key Club has volunteered to assist with installation of the equipment, as well as clean up of the existing park. The Hanna Park Project Committee hopes to raise additional volunteer and financial support during a fundraiser dinner on Nov. 15 from 4-7:30 p.m. at the Wabash Presbyterian Church, catered by Dan’s Fish Fry and Tenderloins. Tickets can be purchased at the door or before the event by contacting Jordan Tandy at 260-330-3604 or jtandy@wabashlaw.com.

In addition to the Nov. 15 fundraiser, the committee is planning a community event at Hanna Park next spring. “We would love to receive input from the community,” said Committee Member Ali McIlvenny. “At the end of the day, this is a neighborhood park, and the neighbors of the park will be the ones using it. We’d love to hear what improvements they want to see at Hanna Park, and we’ll do our best to make those happen.” “There are so many different cool things that playgrounds can do now,” said Tandy. “It’s not just monkey bars and a slide. Hopefully it’s going to be something different than your normal playground. More of a destination for kids, who will say, ‘oh I wanna go play on that thing!’” Committee members will be present at the Nov. 15 fundraiser to answer questions and discuss the project. By next spring, Wabash will have an exciting, rejuvenated Hanna Park.

sharply conflicts with the expansive authority of the rule. In fact, the rule is so bad that the House of Re presentatives passed bipartisan legislation to restrict the ability of EPA and the Corps to regulate “waters” which are generally dry land. That’s right – they are trying to regulate dry land such as areas that have water present only when it rains. It’s hardly the “navigable waters” that Congress intended when they wrote the Clean Water Act. We all want clean water. Clean water is

achieved by working with people to find real solutions to real problems. This proposed rule simply creates government bureaucracy that keeps everyone from focusing on positive things that can be done. For more information, please visit www.infarmbureau.o rg/waterrule. If adopted, this rule will affect your livelihood forever. Don Villwock, Indiana Farm Bureau President, Knox County farmer

The proposed rule is supposed to provide clarity and reduce agency authority consistent with U.S. Supreme Court decisions, but the agencies are proposing a rule that is anything but clear and considerably broadens their regulatory reach.

Community Foundation of Wabash County urges graduates to seek high quality training after high school

MeLisa D Styles Family Hair Care 260-568-0632 By Appointment Tuesday - Saturday

Through the generosity of donors who have created scholarship endowments, the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County offers scholarships to students enrolling at accredited schools for bachelor degrees, associate degrees, and industry standard certifications in fields such as welding, nursing, advanced manufacturing, and engine repair. Options for education after high school have increased significantly, giving recent graduates and adults a greater range of choices to suit their interests, skills, and life plans. Scholarship options have increased as well. Wabash County is working to increase the number of people with education or training beyond high school. By 2025, more than 60% of all jobs in the state will require more than a high school diploma. Census reports show that only 28 percent of adults in the county currently have the training for these jobs. “It’s no secret that

education improves lives,” says Ryan Twiss, Director of the Big Goal Collaborative to drive the educational attainment high in Northeast Indiana. “Getting education or training after high school usually means a higher salary, a better quality of life, a stronger economy, and a brighter future.” Most high-quality credentials take only between 3 and 24 months to complete. In jobs that require a certification, employees can quickly earn higher wages and salaries. With less than a high school diploma, median earnings are $1,920 monthly. With a high school diploma median earnings are $2,500 monthly. With a professional certification license the median earnings are $3,053 monthly. If, starting this year, all high school seniors planned to enroll in college or high quality training, the Northeast Region of Indiana could not reach its goal of 60%. Post-secondary training for workers who

are 25 and older will be necessary to meet the workforce demands of business and industry. C o m m u n i t y Foundation scholarships are also available for “nontraditional students,” students who are beginning post-secondary training as adults or who are returning to education after an absence. Altogether, the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County administers more than 250 endowments established by generous donors for many purposes. Of these, 50 are scholarship endowments established by donors who believe education is important and want to help Wabash County students pursue their dream of an education after high school. Fourteen scholarship endowments at the C o m m u n i t y Foundation are designed with vocational students in mind, as well as traditional two and fouryear college students. Julie Garber, Program Director at

CFWC, notes that “Donors often honor or memorialize a friend or loved one by establishing a scholarship endowment in that person’s name, making it possible for a student to carry on the legacy of the honoree. Some encourage fields like teaching, engineering, or music education. Some honor a person’s

career in a trade or a skill. All scholarship endowments are a treasure for Wabash County students and a wise investment in the future. We are so grateful for the generosity and vision of scholarship donors and consider them partners in reaching the goal of greater educational attain(continued on page 40)
