Lagro Township Board slashes budget in vote of ‘no trust’ in trustee Board claims “frivilous” spending, no communication from trustee by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Sept. 17, the Lagro Township Board met in the Lagro Township Fire Department for its second meeting of the year in which it voted on the 2015 budget. Board members Ralph Ranck, Max Chamberlain, and Terry Bassett were joined by Deputy Trustee Beverly Burns and nearly 30 members of the community. Township Trustee Andrew Delong did not attend. During the board’s first meeting of the year, just two weeks prior, the board questioned a number of expenses. According to the board, Delong walked out of the meeting soon after the questions began. “He says he’s operating within the law, but it’s very narrowly within the law on a couple of things here,” said Ranck. “I say there’s more than law involved. Simple ethics and the oath we took to the people need to be observed.” The township trustee is in charge of purchasing necessary equipment and services for the township and volunteer fire departments. They also maintain cemeteries. Currently, the board has unanswered questions about several large expenses, totaling more than $90,000. “I’ve tried to call him all week, just about every day, and he wouldn’t return my calls,” Ranck said during the meeting. The Paper has found this to be the case as well. Following the meeting, we attempted to make contact with Mr.

After messages left on the township office phone and the trustee’s provided cell phone went unanswered for more than a week, Deputy Trustee Beverly Burns was able to schedule a meeting with Delong during regular office hours on Oct. 14. Delong did not show up. Under his direction, Burns rescheduled the meeting for Oct. 23. During the nine days between these appointments,

Congressional candidates visit Wabash for only 2014 debate

CONGRESSWOMAN JACKIE WALORSKI (LEFT) AND DR. JOE BOCK (RIGHT) speak with constituents following the Oct. 21 Congressional Debate at the Winchester Senior Center. The audience totaled more than 200. This is the only debate scheduled between the candidates for Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District during the 2014 election cycle. (photo by Eric Stearley)

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com The Winchester Senior Center was full of excitement on Tuesday, Oct. 21 as constituents from across Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District traveled to Wabash for the only debate of the 2014 election cycle between Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (R) and Dr. Joe Bock (D). The event was hosted by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce and Indiana Farm Bureau. A long line formed outside the building as eager voters waited for the doors to open. Originally limited to 150 people, the room soon filled up, and the campaigns agreed to a larger audience; more than 200 attended the debate.

After an introduction by debate organizer Bill Rupple, moderator Jordan Tandy gave the floor to Dr. Bock for a two-minute introduction. In addition to his experience as a professor at Notre Dame’s Eck Institute for Global Health, he talked about his time as a hired hand on a farm and as a professional firefighter. “I’ve responded to disasters all over the world, and currently, there’s a disaster in our federal government,” said Bock. “Congress is not functioning correctly, and I am running for office, because I am dismayed by that dysfunction, and I believe I have the ability to have an impact there.” Bock criticized Walorski’s vote to shut

down the federal government, costing the economy $24 billion, and her views on Medicare. Congresswoman Walorski began with her goal to bring “hard-working, Hoosier values to Washington D.C.” She talked about her support for the Military Sexual Trauma Bill and her bipartisan work on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, as well as her efforts to reduce the cost of propane during last winter’s harsh weather. “There’s a lot to be proud of in this district, from the strengthening of our economy to the booming factory industry, and I think that Hoosiers need elected officials that fight for them,” said Walorski.

Central dispatch announces new screening policy in response to state Ebola recommendations by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County health and emergency response officials held a press conference at the Wabash Fire Department on Thursday, Oct. 23 to inform the public of new procedures at Wabash County Central Dispatch. The changes were made in response to recommendations by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Indiana State Department of Health after the recent Ebola outbreak in western Africa resulted in multiple cases within the United States. “The reason for having this meeting is not to cause panic, but just to make people aware that there’s more questions that are going to be asked should there be an concern of a possible exposure,” said Wabash Fire Chief Bob Mullett. “It’s really to try to keep people from panicking and let them know that these questions are going to be asked to anybody who has these signs and symptoms.” The meeting was led by Wabash County Health Officer Dr. David Roe. He urged that the “likelihood of anyone in Wabash contracting Ebola is extremely low and highly unlikely, unless a person has direct, unprotected contact with the bodily fluids of a person who’s sick with Ebola.” While the new standards were implemented in response to the recent outbreak, they will extend beyond the current crisis. In addition to providing first responders with more information to make treatment decisions, the new questions will protect these individuals from contracting a virus like Ebola when responding to individuals in an emergency. “These precautions are the same precautions you would take for any kind of disease process that would be contagious,” said Dr. Roe. “You’d use the same pattern of protecting our EMS, and by doing that, lessening the possible spread or exposure to other people.” “It’s supposed to be the new standard,” said Wabash County Emergency Management Agency Executive Director Keith Walters.

Congressional candidates visit Wabash for only 2014 debate...continued from front page

Candidates were then given one minute each to respond to five questions posed by Wabash Plain Dealer Editor Joe Slacian and The Paper of Wabash County Editor Eric Stearley. The first question asked what Congress can do to decrease unemployment. “It’s two issues. One of them is making sure that we get government off the backs of our corporations, our CEOs and our entrepreneurs,” said Walorski. “One thing that CEOs have in common is to say, ‘if you just back off the regulations…and bring some certainty to the issue of healthcare, and healthcare that we can afford, we would continue to do what we do, which is have visions, create companies, hire employees, and put people back to work.’” Bock disagreed, saying that the problem is income inequality. “We still have people that don’t have good enough jobs to keep food on the table,” said Bock. “If you can just imagine people working hard every day, and being able to work one job, not two jobs, just one job and keep food on the table and have their medical benefits, and at the same time, maybe be able to go on vacation once a year, that’s the American Dream. Rather than giving special interest tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, which C o n g re s s m a n Walorski did in the Ryan budget, we need to stand up for our middle-class citizens.” The candidates were also asked about healthcare and the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as ObamaCare. Bock disagreed with the way the bill was passed and called its rollout “inexcusable,” but also noted its benefits. “Certain things are important that should be retained, and other things that aren’t working at all that should be gotten rid of. I believe it’s important for our country to get a handle on our healthcare expenses,” said Bock. “To vote against the new legislation, the Affordable Care Act, as Cong resswoman

Walorksi did over 53 times, I believe that’s not a good idea, unless there’s a substitute authored that can provide a solution.” Walorski agreed that the aspects of the bill regarding preexisting conditions and staying on a parent’s plan until the age of 26 were a good idea, but she supports a market-based system. “When you talk about citizens retaining more of the decisions over their healthcare than the government, I think that’s a valuable argument,” said Walorski. “Now that we have a track record of huge increases this year, I think we have to look at small businesses and have a fair assessment of healthcare versus jobs.” When asked about the dissatisfaction with the federal government, both were in favor of term limits. “I think, to restore our faith in government, we also need campaign finance reform, and I believe strongly that both parties need to stop doing gerrymandering,” said Bock. “Gerrymandering makes representatives less accountable, and I believe that that’s not good for our citizens.” “One thing that has inhibited the popularity of Congress is that we have a senator in Harry Reid that has not been engaged in passing bills since I’ve been in Congress,” said Walorski. “The House is working, the Senate is not.” “The final question from the panel was on immig ration. Walorski supports a “step-by-step, incremental, bipartisan plan,” and opposed the idea of an executive order. “The American people want to be there,” said Walorski. “The only way the American people will be there is if it comes to Congress, and we have discussions and debate it out and the president does not make an executive order and take your ability away from the Congress to have a discussion.” Bock credited the lack of immigration reform to a dysfunctional Congress and called for comprehensive immigration

When asked, “what is the most concerning thing about ISIS, and should there be boots on the ground,” the candidates were also split. Walorski said the most concerning part was the lack of a strategic plan in the United States. “We want to embrace a strategy to distract them and defeat them and no longer have a War on Terror that we have now, but we simply have not had a strategy,” said Walorski. Bock acknowledged that ISIS poses a real threat, but does not support boots on the ground. “I think we need to ask our allies, including Saudi Arabia, to address the extremist groups within their own borders, who are propagating this inciting ideology, which is resulting in young people being recruited into the terrorist ranks,” said Bock. “Our number one foreign policy question should always be, ‘will this policy increase or decrease the recruitment rate into the terrorist ranks.’ We continually shoot ourselves in the foot. It isn’t fair to the American people. We need to turn things around and try a different approach.” Candidates were asked about the water rules proposed by the EPA, which redefine navigable water and subject agricultural land to the Clean Water Act regulations. Both candidates viewed the application as an overreach. They were also asked about the federal government’s role in lowering food, medical, and fuel costs. Neither supported price intervention, but each had their own solution to the problem. Bock pushed for a focus on income inequality and the middle class, while Walorski cited hyperoverregulation as the key problem and mak-

reform. “People who have been trying to get here legally should be treated fairly. The people that are in our country illegally need to go thorough background checks,” said Bock. “We need to uphold the rule of law; we need them to pay fines. We need to move forward and not dance around this issue year after year.” Members of the audience were then given the opportunity to submit questions to the candidates. The campaigns had veto power over questions, so only those approved by both campaigns were asked. The first question was about a comprehensive energy plan. The candidates had very different views on the subject. “Right now, we are subsidizing alternative energy - solar and wind – and it’s very difficult for power companies to handle the erratic electricity that they get from both of those. We have to solve the storage problem to make those competitive,” said Bock, offering investment in battery technology as a solution. “This part of Indiana is a manufacturing powerhouse. We need to bring that back. We need to view climate change as a business opportunity.” “Not only are we…fighting an enemy militarily, we’re going to fight them economically as well, and if I was the president, I would pull the Keystone Pipeline Project out of my pocket and show that I’m going to lead this nation to domestic energy production and freedom from now on,” said Walorski. “America wants to be free form foreign oil, and I can say ‘yes’ to Keystone, I would say ‘yes’ to shale, and I would say ‘yes’ to Canada and bring those jobs into this country and turn this economy around as well.”

ing corporate relocation overseas less attractive through tax reform as the solution. The candidates were also asked about the top three issues facing America and how to solve one of them. Both candidates cited jobs and national security as top issues. Bock named healthcare as a third, while Walorski offered a balanced budget as a top issue. “I also think we need to be very careful not to give large corporations special breaks that small businesses can’t get,” said Bock. “These large corporations that are moving their headquarters overseas to avoid paying taxes, that’s not really fair to small businesses, and I believe small businesses ought to have a level playing field. Congresswoman Walorski did support a bill to allow those tax breaks to corporations that are shipping jobs overseas.” “Hoosiers know more than anybody in the country that balanced budgets create jobs, and when I was in the statehouse and we balanced the budget in the State of Indiana, that created tens of thousands of job opportunities,” said Walorski. Each candidate was then given two minutes for a closing statement. “I think we’ve made great, positive steps, but there’s a lot of work ahead. If you

put your confidence in me and send me back to the Congress, I’ll do exactly what I’ve done. I will not get involved in the

politics and the party issues. I’ll continue to fight for you. I’ll continue to fight for Hoosiers,” said (continued on page 4)

treated as a suspect case. In the case that an individual has recently returned from one of these countries, they’ll further be questioned about their contact with suspected Ebola patients, as well as their specific symptoms. If a person, who has returned from one of these countries, is experiencing a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, sore throat, abdominal pain, malaise, or myalgias, EMS workers will respond in PPE, or personal protection equipment. The patient will be placed in isolation, and the health department will be contact-

ed immediately. The new recommendations will also result in a review of the department’s equipment and EMS training. “I wouldn’t say more training, I’d say fallback and refresh training,” said Assistant Chief and Director of EMS Operations Jay Brainard. “We’re pretty well trained on personal protection equipment.” “I don’t think anybody here is really thinking we’re going to be exposed to it, but you can’t be complacent about it,” said Mullett. “The likelihood is just really slim, but as soon as

you don’t prepare for something, that’s when you get caught.” “We didn’t think there would ever be a case in the United States, and low and behold, the next day there was,” said Dr. Roe By notifying the public of these changes, city and county officials hope to avoid caller panic when questioned about travel to African countries. This will be the new standard when a patient calls with illness. They also urge the public not to become irritated with dispatch personnel if they are asked these questions.

“They’ll get aggravated that we’re asking so many questions,” said Sandy Beeks, director of central dispatch. “They’re like ‘just send the ambulance.’” The upside of the new system is that if a person has not been to Guinea, Liberia, or Sierra Leone, no additional questions are asked. This could change in the future, but even if it does, additional questions don’t mean a delayed response. “What a lot of people don’t realize about central dispatch is, one dispatcher might be questioning the caller, but they already have the

address, and the other dispatcher will be dispatching us. The caller probably thinks, ‘they’re talking to me, they’re not sending any help.’” “It’s very difficult, when you’re in an emergency situation, to sit there and be asked question after question. That’s why we’re trying to stress this, to be patient with everybody,” said Mullett. “Dispatchers are the most underappreciated people in the EMS system. The dispatchers are absolutely our lifeline, and it’s an extremely important job for them to get as much information as they can.”

This is the United States of America. This is the

most blessed nation on the face of the earth. I want to see it protected. I want our greater days to be ahead, and I want to work together to keep getting that done.” “I believe that what we need to do is we need to move forward with practical solutions. It’s not a question of ideology, it’s a question of what works. It’s not a question of special interests, it’s a question of our interests,” said Bock. “We’ve got to dream again. We’ve got to start moving forward as a society. We’ve got increased inequality. We’ve got corporations who are getting tax breaks that small businesses aren’t; Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. I’m firmly in support

ISP Halloween safety tips The Indiana State Police would like to remind parents of a few safety tips to observe during the Halloween holiday. Parents and children will be out in full force next week trick-ortreating and the Indiana State Police would like to remind parents that observing just a few rules will help can make the evening both fun and safe. Costume Tips •Keep costumes short to prevent trips and falls. •Try make-up instead of a mask. Masks often obstruct a child’s vision, which makes tasks like crossing the street and going up and down stairs dangerous. •Make sure children wear light colors or put reflective tape on their costumes. Trick or Treating •Make sure older children trick-or-treat with friends. Together, map out a safe route so parents know where they will be. •Instruct children to

stop only at familiar homes where the outside lights are on. •Encourage children to trick-or-treat while it’s still light out. If children are out after dark, make sure they have flashlights and travel on well lit streets. •Remind children not to enter the homes or cars of strangers. •Follow your communities trick-or-treating hours. Treats •Remind children not to eat any of their treats until they get home. •Check out all treats at home in a well-lit place. •Only eat unopened candies and other treats that are in original wrappers. Remember to inspect fruits for anything suspicious. Additionally, many communities, schools and churches offer children safe alternatives to trick-or-treating designed to keep children safely within parents’ view. Some hospitals and schools

allow children to trickor-treat by going from room to room virtually eliminating the dangers associated with being out walking on the street after dark. Motorists are reminded that they should also do their part in making Halloween safe for children. Make sure to drive cautiously including driving below the posted speed limit while in town during trick or treat hours. Avoid talking on a cell phone or other distracting activities. Remember, excited children may dart out into traffic at any time without warning. Drive with your headlights on even during the daylight trick or treat hours so your vehicle is more visible to children. Have a happy and safe Halloween.

This year, community members are given the opportunity to step up and sponsor the event or a child to enjoy the trip with their classmates. Heading up this fundraising effort is Jennifer Scott, mother of a middle school student. “My personal goal is to send the whole class, but also send the chaperones for free and make t-shirts for the students too,” Scott told The Paper. Experiencing field trips as a chaperone, Scott feels the shirts would help the chaperones a lot, because the kids would be more identifiable as Wabash Middle School students.

They will also visit the Museum of Science and Industry, with an estimated cost of $1,400. The students will enjoy a boat tour with Wendella to see the beautiful architectural history of Chicago, at an estimated cost of $1,200. There will also be the estimated cost of $5,200 for charter buses. The first fundraiser for this trip is an Origami Owl open house, hosted by Lynn Ellis. “All sales and parties booked between now and Dec. 31, 2014, will help send the Class of 2021 to Chicago in May 2015. Charmed by Lynn will donate 20 percent of all profits to the Wabash Middle

School Trip Fund,” Scott told The Paper. “My business, Charmed by Lynn, sells Origami Owl, custom jewelry, which is about building personalized lockets, where each person can “tell their own story.” I would like to think this trip allows kids to start making their own memories and building on their story,” Lynn Ellis told The Paper. “I was told about a previous cold and rainy Chicago trip, where on the boat ride, some kids were able to buy hot chocolate and some were not. That broke my heart,” explained Ellis as to why she chose to help with the fundraising efforts. “I believe each and every child should have the same opportunities; especially the opportunity to go

on their class trip and to make a memory.” “I wanted to be a part of change by giving to my community, even if it is just in this small way,” continued Ellis. The Origami Owl open house will be held Thursday, Oct. 30 from 3:30-6:30 p.m. at the GrandstaffHentgen Community room, which is located behind and below the building, at 1241 Manchester Ave., Wabash.

You can also order online by visiting charmedbylynn.origa miowl.com, entering the jewelry barcode: WMSChicagoFundrai ser497041 and entering the hostess password: WMS2021. The trip to Chicago

will cost approximately $9,500 to fully fund all 114 students and approximately 30 chaperones visit to the Windy City. You can sponsor a child for $75. A sponsorship of $500 by a business will ensure your business’ name on the back of the class tshirt. Community members can also sponsor a hot chocolate and lunch for only $5. “Every child deserves the chance to go on their class trip. You can make a difference. Donate today! We are a Stellar Community. It’s about time we prove it,” added Scott.

Lagro Township Board slashes budget in vote of ‘no trust’ in trustee...continued from front page set, and there is no reason that we need to keep calling. The message included a bolded, all-caps order not to contact him through his work, family, or Facebook,

but only through the trustee landline and cell phone. Again, Delong did not show up to the Oct. 23 meeting. He was unable to be reached on the trustee cell phone,

him further. Not a single message has been returned since the board meeting; more than a dozen have been left. The last message informed Mr. Delong that, though The Paper wants to hear his side of the story and include any explanations he may have, we have delayed publication for three weeks and cannot wait any longer. Unable to get any of their questions answered, the board voted to cut the budget by more than 28% from last year in an attempt to stop what it sees as wasteful spending. The board started to question a number of purchases after Ranck dug into the township’s records and discovered receipts for large, previously unknown items. Primary among these was a 2007 Chevy Tahoe, purchased at Stoops Buick GMC on June 13 for $14,549. According to Ranck, after this discovery, Delong explained to the board that the Tahoe would be used by firefighters when they need to run errands for the department.

“He purchased [the Tahoe] without consulting the board or even the fire department officials, and talking to most of the firemen at Lagro, they know nothing about it,” said Ranck. In the past, firefighters have used their own vehicles to run errands and were reimbursed for gas by the township. This is standard for townships in this area. “When our drivers or our volunteers do anything, were paying them 42 cents a mile to use their personal vehicle,” said Chester Township Trustee Flo Dahlstrom, who said the total reimbursement is typically less than $100 for the year. The 2011 Township Disbursement Report shows only one reimbursement of $30. In 2012, there are no labeled gasoline reimbursements, but reimbursements to firefighters for all “supplies” totaled $510. In 2013, there was a single unmarked reimbursement of $58. This has left the board wondering why Delong purchased a $14,000 vehicle for this purpose. In addition, when asked, no one

present at the board meeting said they had ever seen the Tahoe. A township trustee is allowed to have a civil vehicle for his or her own use, but the vehicle’s use is important, as it would have to be paid for by a different fund. The Tahoe was only the first of many purchases questioned by the board. In March, the trustee spent $4,000 to have two dash cameras installed in fire trucks. “Can anybody tell me a neighboring department that has dash cams?” said Ranck. “I know you can go to Fort Wayne. I know you can go to Indianapolis. I know you can go to Chicago, where they have crime and these problems, but if you look at any of the neighboring departments, they don’t have them.” It’s true that dash cams are not standard in local volunteer fire department trucks. According to Chief Bob Mullett, Wabash Fire Department, with 32 full-time employees, doesn’t have them either. “What is a dash cam?” Richard Uhrick asked. Uhrick is the Northeast Area Director for the Indiana Township Association and the trustee of St. Joe Township, which is home to 72,000 in the Fort Wayne area. “I would ask to know what they’re wanting, why they’re doing this,” said Uhrick. “I think the board should have known about this before it was done.” “I don’t think we have dash cams. I don’t know what the purpose of a dash cam is. That sounds more like something for police,” said Trustee Julie Roush of Fairfield Township, which is home to 52,000 in the City of Lafayette. As of the 2010 Census, Lagro Township had less than 2,900 residents. Roush did note that the only reason she might consider purchasing and installing dash cams would be for insurance purposes, particularly if the township had been sued in the past. Ranck contends that insurance liabilities are not Delong’s first priority, noting

an exposed radio tower near the Lincolnville Fire Department, which is operated by Lagro. According to Ranck, the department was written up for failing to put a fence around the tower in 2011, but nothing has been done since. “We will really hang our butts out, because there’s no fence around that tower down there. What if some little kid climbs up there and falls off ?” Ranck said during the meeting. “He picks and chooses what insurance policies he wants to follow and which ones he doesn’t. He keeps saying, ‘I need this for insurance, I need these dash cams for insurance.’ He’s not taking care of the things from 2011 for insurance. He’s just finding an excuse to buy things.” The purchase of multiple Microsoft tablet computers came under similar scrutiny. Though receipts for the tablets could not be obtained without the help of the trustee, AT&T invoices show that the township was billed for the use of four tablets as early as October 2013. Like the dash cams, Uhrick and Roush have no knowledge of tablets being implemented in their respective fire departments. As any smartphone or tablet user knows, a data contract can cost as much as the device using it over the course of a year. In the case of the Lagro Fire Department’s AT&T contract, the four tablets share 20 gigabytes of data. In the second half of 2013, (the most recent records available) the most data used by all four devices combined in a single month was 249 megabytes, or 1.2 percent of the data purchased. Two months showed no data use. The situation is similar with the township’s AT&T contract. Township funds currently pay for cell phones for the trustee and deputy trustee, as well as two mobile hotspots, used to supply laptops with Internet on the road. In August 2013, these four devices began sharing an additional (continued on page 26)

City. Banks has been deployed to Afghanistan for the 2015 session of the Indiana legislature. Switzer became the first female president and 14th chief executive of Manchester University on Dec. 1, 2004. Before her retirement in June, Switzer led a campaign to raise $100 million for the University. It blew by that goal, raising $108.7 million a full 18 months ahead of schedule. It included more than 50,000 gifts from alumni, friends, corporations, foundations and churches. The largest was a $35 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to launch the M a n c h e s t e r University College of Pharmacy, which enrolled its first students in August 2012. The gift enabled Manchester to construct a LEED Gold certified, state-of-theart 82,000-square-foot building on its new Fort Wayne campus, which is home to the four-year pharmacy doctoral program. The University’s enrollment increased about 30 percent during Switzer’s tenure, from 1,074 in 2004 to

1,400 during the 201314 school year. In the past several years, Manchester also launched a master’s degree program in athletic training and has implemented two key initiatives — the three-year bachelor’s degree Fast Forward program and the Triple Guarantee. The Triple Guarantee promises financial aid for all students and full tuition for academically strong lowincome students who live in Indiana; graduation within four years for all full-time students who meet the guidelines, or pay no tuition for credit needed at Manchester to graduate in five years; and a job or enrollment in graduate school within six months of graduation, or return for a full year, tuition-free. Students First! is the largest campaign in MU history, strengthening the endowment and increasing support for scholarships, faculty development and student learning programs. The campaign also has greatly improved student learning spaces, including completion of the cornerstone ini-

Switzer earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Manchester in 1969 and her master’s degree and Ph.D. in communication from the University of Kansas. She returned to Manchester in the 1980s and taught communication studies. She also taught at Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) before serving as Manchester’s vice president and dean for academic affairs for 11 years. Switzer is “truly deserving” of the award, Banks said, not just because of her successes at Manchester but for her work to make northeast Indiana a “better place to live, work and raise our families.” Switzer has been a statewide and national leader in higher education. She is past president of the board of directors of Independent Colleges of Indiana, a past board member of the Council of Independent Colleges, and has served on the Commission on College Completion for the Indiana Commission on Higher Education. She has been a leader in northeast Indiana, including service on the Regional E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Executive Board and Vision 2020, a group dedicated to stimulating entrepreneurship, innovation and economic development in northeast Indiana. For five straight years under President Switzer, The Chronicle of Higher Education recognized

M a n c h e s t e r University as a “Best College to Work For” based on employee surveys. During the recent recession, the University made it a priority not to cut its work force and to find adequate financial aid resources for its students. At a time when other colleges and universities are struggling, Manchester continues to grow. There are 441 first-year students this year, a 20 percent increase over Fall 2013 (367). Total University enrollment is now at 1,479, a 9.6 percent increase over Fall 2013 (1,349). Switzer is the coauthor of Interviewing: Art and Skill (Allyn & Bacon, 1995), two instructors’ manuals, and numerous published articles and book chapters on communication. She has made more than 50 academic presentations related to teaching, applied communication, gender and higher education, and scores of presentations about higher education to more general audiences. She has received several impressive teaching awards, including the Outstanding New Teacher Award from the Central States Communication Association and the F.A.C.E.T. Award from Indiana University. Her most cherished award, however, is from an organization for students with disabilities at IPFW. Switzer and her professor husband Dave, who also retired this year, have studied Tuscan cooking in Italy, where they like to vacation. The Switzers have three grown children, all graduates of liberal arts colleges.

Dear editor, Congress Woman Jackie Walorski has been talking lately about what she does for us taxpayers. However, her record says otherwise. At a meeting of the JointVeterans affairs committee in Washington D.C., she walked out of the meeting while the VFW CommanderIn-Chief was addressing the committee. Her excuse was she had another meeting that was more important than listening to the Veterans. She voted to make cuts to Medicare and to privatize Social Security. She also voted to shut down the government, costing taxpayers $24 billion dollars. Walorski voted to keep her Congressional perks while American Veterans languish in V.A. hospitals awaiting proper treatment. American Servicepersons are suffering from PTSD and traumatic brain injuries, yet Walorski has done nothing to help their cause. Congress is dysfunctional and Jackie Walorski is part of the problem. It is time to elect somebody who cares more about the taxpayers, especially veterans, than they do about themselves. This Vietnam veteran is voting for change, I am voting for Joe Bock for Congress!

Meth precursors found in a vehicle

On Oct. 13, at approximately 11:09 p.m., Wabash Police responded to a crash where a vehicle struck a house in the 400 block of Manchester Ave. Wabash Police allege that Dave L. Jones, II, 21, Wabash, was driving a 1997 GMC and crashed into a house at 453 Manchester Ave. Wabash Police report that Jones was preliminarily arrested for operat-

Recently, an investigation into a suspicious vehicle parked partially in the roadway led to the arrests of Peter Buffington, 23, and Travis Fuqua, 26. They were both incarcerated in the Miami County Jail. Buffington faces a felony charge for possession of chemical precursors with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine. Fuqua was arrested on a Miami County warrant for conver-

ing while intoxicated and driving while suspended. Jones was booked into Wabash County Jail. The homeowner, Courtney Blocher, was home at the time, but was not injured during the crash. There were two occupants in the Jones vehicle, which were transported by Wabash City Fire Ambulance to Wabash County Hospital. Both sub-

jects were treated and released for their injuries. This investigation was conducted by Patrolman Phil M i c k l e s o n , Patrolman Aaron Snover, Cpl. Josh Prater, Sgt. Nick Brubaker, and Captain Ryan Short. Assisting at the scene were members of the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department and Wabash City Fire.

sion. Indiana State Police Sergeant T.J. Zeiser drove upon a Saturn passenger car which appeared to have crashed near a residence at 1600 North Miami County Road 175 East, Peru. The Saturn was partially in the roadway. When Zeiser made contact with the vehicle’s occupants he learned the vehicle had purportedly been crashed the day before. When speaking with

Buffington, Zeiser noticed indicators that criminal activity might be afoot. He requested that Miami County Sheriff ’s Deputy Joe Gentile utilize his narcotics detecting police dog to conduct a free air sniff around the Saturn. The dog alerted to the presence of illegal narcotics. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, officers found items commonly associated with the manu-

facturing of methamphetamine. This is an ongoing investigation. The Indiana State Police encourages anyone with information about the possession, distribution, or manufacturing of methamphetamine to call the Indiana State P o l i c e Methamphetamine Tip Line at 1-800-4534756. Information can be reported anonymously.

JoAnne Livingston Mock, 84, North Manchester, passed away peacefully on Thursday, Oct. 16, at Timbercrest Senior Living Community. JoAnne was born on Oct. 7, 1930 in Johnstown, Pa. Her parents were James Livingston, a rural mail carrier, and Eva (Harshberger) Livingston, a homemaker. JoAnne grew up as part of the Westmont Church of the Brethren congregation and graduated from Southmont High School (Johnstown) in 1948. In high school, she was active in musical activities, Girls Athletic Association, and the Y-Teen organization (affiliated with the YWCA). After high school, she attended a business college for nine months and then became the school secretary for the Southmont Schools, K-12, for three years. JoAnne married Robert Mock, also from western Pennsylvania, in 1952. In 1964, Robert joined the staff in Manchester College as campus pastor, and JoAnne has lived in North Manchester ever since. In 1974, JoAnne graduated from Manchester College with a degree in Elementary Education, and in 1979, she earned a Masters of Education plus certification in Specific Learning Disabilities from Ball State University in Muncie. She was an elementary school teacher in the Manchester Community School System for 21 years, with ten of those years in Learning Disabilities classrooms, and 11 years in regular education in a sixth-grade classroom. During her early years of teaching she was at the Laketon school. JoAnne retired from teaching in 1995 and began six years of part-time work at the North Manchester Public Library. During four years of that time she was employed in part-time work for Manchester College as a supervisor of student teachers. JoAnne traveled in Europe, Canada, and Hawaii as well as throughout the western U.S. and she enjoyed participation in many ElderHostels. She was active in the Shepherd’s Center Program in North Manchester for many years and chaired the Center’s Adventures in Learning Committee. She has been an active member of the Manchester Church of the Brethren since moving to North Manchester, serving in numerous areas of responsibility, as well as being a long-time member of the church bell choir. After living 31 years in her home on Bond Street in North Manchester, JoAnne moved to a home on Hickory Lane at the Timbercrest Retirement Senior Living Community (North Manchester) in the fall of 2007. JoAnne was preceded in death by her parents, James and Eva Livingston; her son, Jon Livingston Mock; and her brother, Richard Livingston. She is survived by her sons, Steve (Jan Miller) Mock, Dillon, Mo. and Alan (Robin Warnock) Mock, Sheboygan, Wisc.; her grandchildren, Joshua Mock, Dillon, Mo., Suzanne (Tobin) Smail, Spokane, Wash., and Emma Mock, Sheboygan, Wisc., and her great granddaughter, Elekta Mock, Dillon, Mo. JoAnne was a truly wonderful, kind and loving mother and friend who will be greatly missed by all who knew her. JoAnne’s family appreciated the wonderful care she received at Timbercrest and wishes to extend their sincere thanks to all of the nurses and staff in Crestwood and Healthcare, for their kindness and compassion. There will be a memorial service held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2, at Timbercrest Chapel, 2201 East Street, North Manchester, with a reception to follow.

Stirring it up with Angie Baer Two weeks ago, I promised to submit a few of my favorite crock-pot recipes for you to try. By now, I hope you had a chance to make the pepper steak over white rice. If you did, I’m sure you will agree that it is simply delicious. This next recipe for crock-pot steak and rice is a family favorite. When my Daughter Andrea was in college, I often tried to make sure this crock-pot steak was on the menu when I knew she was coming home for the weekend. It was one of her favorite suppers. Just reading over this recipe, it may seem like such an odd combination of ingredients but, the end result is fantastic. The taco seasoning along with tomato sauce and instant rice makes for Spanish rice over cubed steak. I often serve buttery mashed potatoes on the side. I know, it’s very starchy but, everything in moderation. Right? ANGIE BAER

Crock Pot Steak and Rice 4 cubed steaks 1/2 pkg. taco seasoning 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup water 1 pkg. brown gravy mix 1 large can tomato sauce 1 1/2 cup minute rice In crock-pot, combine gravy mix, taco seasoning, tomato sauce, onion and water. Stir well. Brown steaks in a small amount of oil until done. Add to crock-pot. Cook on high for 3 hours then turn to low and continue to cook 2 more hours. 5 minutes before serving, stir in uncooked rice. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.

was not. As a result, according to the debate rules, the question was not asked since it was required that both give the “okay” for questions from the audience. Unfortunately the debate was cut short from its intended length due to only six audience questions receiving the “okay.” Following the debate both campaigns were asked how many questions the audience submitted.

Walorski’s did not respond. Bock’s was reluctant to respond because an exact count was not kept although eventually said, “probably 50 or so.” Four years ago Walorski supported privatizing Social Security and referred to it, Medicare and Medicaid as going “bankrupt.” During recent days she has noted, “Social Security is a sacred commitment we’ve made to our seniors”

and “I’ll oppose any cuts in Social Security or Medicare.” Where does Walorski stand? Social Security and Medicare are not only an interest of current recipients but also of all who currently are making contributions from their paychecks.

SPORTS Apaches get revenge in sectional opener over Squires

www.thepaperofwabash.com

October 29, 2014

by Gary Andrews Two weeks ago the Wabash football team had a 20-point lead over Manchester in the first half, only to have the Squires comeback to defeat Wabash. Friday night in the opening round of the sectional the two teams hooked up again for a rematch at Manchester in the opening round of the sectional with the Apaches grabbing an early lead and holding on for a 21-7 win over the Squires. On their second possession of the game the Apaches would mount a 4 play drive that ended with a pass from Chase Dirig to Grant Dirig for 28 yards with 8:01 remaining to grab a 70 lead after the Owen Yeadon kick. Manchester was

answering the Wabash score with a big completion from Lucas Schilling and a 28-yard run from Jacob Casper to take the ball to the Apache 15, but the drive stalled on four plays with Wabash taking over on the 14. Again it would be the Dirig connection that would strike on a 70-yard score with 3:16 left and led 14-0 after the first quarter. As the first quarter ended the Squires were mounting a drive and were on the Wabash 8. The Wabash defense would then come up big when Grant Dirig intercepted a Schilling pass in the end zone. The Manchester defense would answer to get the ball back to give the Squires another

shot and the Squires r e s p o n d e d . Connecting with passes to Evan Milam and Keelan Norwood, the Squires moved the ball to the 3 yard line when Schilling found Milam on a scoring strike with 4:26 left to make it 14-7. With the tide starting to turn the Manchester defense would hold again and the offense went on the march. With :36 seconds remaining Schilling would connect with Bailey Ness on a score that was called back with the drive stalling and the half ending 14-7. Manchester would get the ball first to start the second half with the Wabash defense needing a stop to change the momentum. The Apaches would step

up and stop the Squires on four plays and the offense would answer the call. Starting on the 36 the Dirig connection would move the ball down the field. Dirig would then find Ben Dillon twice with the second catch being a 10 yard touchdown strike with 5:21 left to increase their lead to 21-7. Both teams’ defenses would hold the remainder of the quarter with the score at 21-7. Wabash would punt to start the fourth quarter with the Squires needing a score. The Manchester offense was struggling moving the ball and on a 4th and 9 executed a fake punt that Daniel Griese took the ball to the Wabash 32. Two plays later Owen

Lady Knights claim 8th straight sectional title

by Gary Andrews The Southwood volleyball team kept their tournament winning ways going Saturday, winning their 8th straight sectional title with a 2521, 25-14, 26-24 win over Manchester. Earlier in the day the

Knights topped Wabash 25-17, 25-21, 25-9 to make it to the finals. Manchester defeated Oak Hill 2826, 25-14, 25-21. The Lady Knights went to Katelyn Murphy early who had three kills as Southwood led 4-3

when Manchester got a block from Madison Isbell and scored two in a row to lead 5-4. The two team would trade blows until the Knights led 12-10 when Murphy would record two kills in a 50 run to grab a 16-10 lead. The Knights

would build their lead to 22-12 when things got tight in a hurry. Manchester scored three straight with a Kendra Binkley kill then at 23-15 would score six straight to make it 23-21. During the run Merret Metzger would serve three straight aces. The Knights would score the next two for the 25-21 win. Southwood dominated game two early, grabbing a 9-2 lead and building it to 19-7. During an early 6-0 run Murphy and Sarah Peters had a combo block with Peterson serving during the run. In a 5-2 spurt Murphy and Bailey Hobbs had kills. Up 19-7 the Knights would trade points with the Squires for the 25-14 final. Southwood jumped out to a 4-2 lead in game three on kills from Peterson and Emilie Harnish when the Squires scored four straight to grab a 6-4 lead. Southwood answered with an 8-1

run to regain the lead at 12-7. Emilie Harnish had five kills during the run with Anna Rees serving an ace. Madison Isbell would stop the run with a block as the Squires would score six of the next eight points to close the gap to 14-13. Corrie Osborne had a kill during the run. The Knights would build the lead to 18-16 when Lea Sorg placed a tip and had a kill during a three-point spurt to put Manchester up 1918. Manchester would increase their lead to 22-19 when Harnish killed two straight followed by a kill from Bailey Lundmark to make it 22-22. Manchester then took advantage of two Knight errors to go up 24-22 when they committed two errors of their own to make it 24-24. Harnish would then score on a tip then Bailey Hobbs served an ace to win 26-24 and the match 30. Delayne Gentry had 7 service points, 1 ace,

Lagro Township Board slashes budget in vote of ‘no trust’ in trustee...continued from page 8 20 gigabytes of data. Usage was highest in September, when 3.2 gigabytes, or 15 percent, was used. In October, usage was less than a quarter of that. When compared to previous years, the mobile plans are large. In total, the township spent $10,271 with AT&T in 2013. Supplies and capital outlays made up $3,479, with $6,792 beings spent on services and charges. In 2011, the township spent just over $3,000 with AT&T, while the total narrowly topped $4,000 in 2012. “We have none for the township,” said Chester Township Trustee Flo Dahlstrom. Despite a larger budget and full-time fire department employees, Chester Township doesn’t own tablets, hot spots, or even a single cell phone. “We use pagers and handheld radios,” she continued. A trustee has the

authority to spend township funds on a wide variety of items without board approval. Once the board sets the budget and puts money in a fund, it’s almost entirely up to the trustee to decide how it’s spent. While Chester Township does not use mobile devices, other townships do. No other township in the county, however, has eight. “He only carries the cell phone for the township now,” Delong’s mother noted when asked how he can be reached. “He said he didn’t want to be bothered with two phones.” Given that a month’s worth of calls to this cell phone from The Paper and the township board have gone unanswered and unreturned, it’s unclear what, if any, benefit the cell phone provides to the taxpayers that fund it. In addition, the trustee’s voicemail message

gives no indication that the caller has reached a trustee’s cell phone. Several other purchases were discussed at the board meeting, including 2-way radios, a large amount of clothing and a server shelter. Six radios were purchased last March from Motorola Solutions Inc. Including accessories, the total came to more than $9,000. “A handheld is typically somewhere between $800 and $1,000, give or take,” said Wabash Fire Chief Bob Mullett. “Sometimes you can get a deal on them, but $800 is a pretty good number.” At the time of the board meeting, the radios were not in use; all six were believed to be located in a grass truck at the Lincolnville station. In April 2013, Delong purchased more than $18,000 in clothing from Brateman’s Inc. in Fort Wayne. In the

past, the township has purchased small amounts of clothing each year. One year, they might buy sweatshirts, waiting until the following year to buy t-shirts or jackets. The April 8, 2013 purchase included 53 Carhart coats, 106 sweatshirts, and 61 shirts, as well as 150 patches and 54 badges. This is despite the fact that the 2013 payroll shows that Lagro Township had only 37 firefighters between its departments. “I talked to most of you, and you’d rather have gotten $2,000 worth and put $16,000 toward the [Cumulative Fire Fund] for new equipment,” Ranck said to the firefighters present at the Sept. 17 meeting. In Chester Township, firefighters aren’t provided any clothing that isn’t for the specific purpose of fighting fires. “Our department has fundraisers and they buy their own coats, own shirts, whatever they want,” said Dahlstrom. “The only thing I purchase for the guys is their turnout gear, their gloves, their boots, equipment, and Nomex hoods,” It is unclear whether sweatshirts and other clothing constitute “costs attributable to providing fire protection or emergency services” as the money is sup-

posed to be used, according to Section 4 of Indiana Code 36-813. The server shelter purchased is a metal cabinet, which houses the server and other information technology equipment. It was purchased from I n t r a s e c t Technologies in August of 2013 for $1,583. The board offered this as yet another example of wasteful spending, though the trustee would have the authority to make such a purchase. With the recent increase in technology purchased by the trustee, maintenance and technology support needs have also increased. To meet the need, Delong purchased an IT Pro Plus tech support contract with Intrasect Technologies Inc. at a cost of $6,000 per year. “I’ve asked and I’ve asked, and I cannot get a written copy of what it covers, other than an invoice. It just shows discounts on our service, and that they’re going to monitor [the system,] said Ranck. “We should have good, written, detailed agreement so we can see what we’re getting.”] A contract does exist. “It is a support contract that provides proactive monitoring of network devices,” said Intrasect Technolo gies President Steve

Forrester. “It also includes device auditing, and through those, it generates system alerts and analysis, so we can tell when certain thresholds have been exceeded in order to prevent errors form occurring. “It’s not only discounts to service work, but also a set service level response time, because we do prioritize our customer base, and if somebody does not have an agreement with us, they receive support and service on an as-able-to-provide basis,” Forrester continued. When asked if Chester Township has a tech support contract, Dahlstrom was clear. “Oh, heavens no!,” said Dahlstrom. “I don’t pay any kind of retaining fee. I just merely pay them whenever we need to have work done.” While Intrasect provides all-inclusive tech support contracts, the IT Pro Plus contract with Lagro is not one of them. In 2013, the $6,000 agreement allowed Lagro Township to save $1,457.50 in support costs. Whether faster response time to technical problems is worth $4,542.50 is up for debate, however, the requirement for the township board to approve contracts is not. While normal expenses can be paid

out of the appropriate funds without board approval, contracts must be reviewed and approved. “The one thing that I have asked for repeatedly is the copy of the agreement between him and I n t r a s e c t Technologies,” said Ranck. “We’re paying $6,000 per year to Intrasect for an agreement and I still haven’t seen.” Fairfield Township Trustee Julie Roush confirmed that the board must approve contracts. Even if this were not the case, the 2013 disbursement report shows that I n t r a s e c t Technologies was paid a total of $11,920.91 out of the Rainy Day Fund, rather than out of the Township or Fire Fighting funds. “We never approved any money coming out of the Rainy Day Fund, to my knowledge, in 2013,” said Ranck. “Before he can get into the rainy day fund…it’s an emergency fund…so we are supposed to approve it to use it, and we never did.” One final item scrutinized during the board meeting was the purchase and sale of a snowplow in February. The plow was purchased, taxfree, from Riggs Mower Service on Feb. 6 for $4,600. Fourteen days later, on Feb. 20, the township sold the same plow to Doug Huston for the same total. Huston is employed by the township to mow cemeteries and other property owned by the township. The board wanted to know why the trustee purchased a piece of equipment that the township only owned for 14 days and why it was sold to a private individual, rather than being auctioned off. “There would have to be an official auction advertised to statute, and we wouldn’t sell anything to a private individual,” said B.J. Grube, deputy auditor with the Wabash County Auditor’s Office. “There are definitely public purchasing laws that he has to go by. I’ve been at this for over 20 years. I was Whitley County Auditor at one time. I’ve never known of ever being able to sell (continued on page 27)

Lagro Township Board slashes budget...continued from page 26 to an individual.” “Anything with estimated value over $1,000, you’re required to have either a public auction or a public bid sale where you advertise, and then people submit bids, and then you sell it to the person with the highest responsive bid,” said Ryan Preston, Director of Schools and Townships for the Indiana State Board of Accounts. “It’s not something that they can just buy and sell over the next couple days, especially if it exceeds that $1,000 threshold.” In addition, items over $1,000 must be advertised in local media for at least 15 days before the date of sale. Lagro Township did not even own the plow long enough to meet advertising requirements. When asked about the sale of equipment in this manner, Roush was shocked. “Gosh, that sounds like funneling to me. I just don’t think it’s right, but I’m not a lawyer. I absolutely don’t think it is, but that’s just my opinion. I certainly would not do that in my township,” said Roush. “The township wasn’t out money; he got the money back. There you probably have an ethical question. “I can’t answer to the legality of it,” she continued. “I would hope it’s not, to be honest with you.” The conflict between the township board and its trustee has illuminated a potential downfall of the current system. While the board has the authority to set the budget, the have very little say in how it’s spent; contracts, transfers between funds, and purchases over $150,000 are some of the only things they’re required to approve. This gives a trustee the power to make purchasing decisions as he or she chooses. “Once it’s budgeted, they cannot nit pick with the trustee, in fact, that wouldn’t even be a good relationship. It would be awful if the board was on my butt about everything I do. I need to be given the leeway to make decisions,” said Roush. “[The board doesn’t] have the right to dictate how it’s allocated, but they do set the budget. If they don’t trust their own trustee, they shouldn’t have put large amounts of money in a line item that could cause a problem.” Roush suggested put-

ting, for example, $2,000 in the Fire Fighting Fund. This would require the trustee to request addition appropriations for purchases, allowing the board more oversight. It would also require much more involvement by the board. At the budget meeting, Ranck sought to cut the budget by more than 42% to just $279,300. “I see no need to provide any discretionary funds to this township until it can be shown to the board and the taxpayers that their money can be handled wisely,” said Ranck. “We’re buying things using big capital money that we put in the budget over the last two years to buy Tahoes, to buy doodads and gadgets, when that money could have been put toward good firefighting equipment. I’m saying we cut it back with a warning to him: ‘Straighten up, watch how you’re spending, get communication going with the fire department, set up a fire board, work with all three together…and the board then can look at it and raise it next year.” The room full of firefighters wasn’t particularly supportive of a

plan to cut the Fire Fund in half. Some questioned whether the board knew how much it actually costs to run the departments, minus the wasteful spending. Others worried about the possibility of a truck breakdown. Several firefighters stated that they were against the trustee’s proposed budget of $453,000, but worried that Rank’s budget, at $279,300 was too low, and asked for additional money for the Fire Fund. “So it can be spent on another Tahoe?” Ranck shot back. “I’d love to! I’d love to put a $500,000 budget. I’ll support a million dollar budget if someone can show me that it’s going to real firefighting equipment, getting you guys better trained and equipped, but when it’s going to dodads and Tahoes, no! After two years of $450,000 budgets, we’re no better off than we were two years ago.” Notably, Lagro Township has the highest tax rate in the county at 0.3439 percent. Chester Township has the second highest rate at 0.1471 percent, and Pleasant Township has a tax rate of 0.1187 percent. The other four townships are at less than a tenth of a per-

cent. After saying very little for most of the meeting, Max Chamberlain gave his opinion. “I don’t care how much you cut or how long you talk, but we already know we don’t have any say on the final way he spends the money, so if we cut this budget, the thing that scares me to death, he can still spend the money like he wants,” said Chamberlain. “If we cut a big chunk out of this budget, but we don’t have any restrictions on how he spends it, I don’t want to see these guys out here, who put their lives on the line every time they go out to a fire, not have the equipment they need, because he’s still spending money on what he wants, and I haven’t heard the first statement of any guarantee that if we cut this budget in half, that it’s going to solve a darn thing, except take stuff away from those guys who need it. “We have no control over how he spends the money, and my biggest fear is taking equipment away from them, because he’s still spending money on frivolous things we don’t need, and we cant stop it. There’s only one way you can stop it, and that opportuni-

ty has passed for a couple more years.” Chamberlain was referring to the Primary Election in May, in which Delong beat Gary Knable by three votes for the Republican nomination. Without a democratic challenger, Delong is running unopposed in next week’s General Election. On this matter, the township board accepted some blame; the board didn’t hold a meeting for the first eight months of this year. With the deadline for a write-in candidate past, Delong will likely be in office until 2018. “Maybe this meeting is a few months too late,” Ranck said during the meeting. “Maybe this meeting should have been before the primary.” Ultimately, the board came to an agreement, passing a 2015 budget of $342,600, a reduction of more than 28 percent from the 2014 budget. At the time of publication, The Paper was still waiting on a response from Mr. Delong. If the trustee does contact us, we will do our best to include a timely follow-up story in a later issue.

Witkoske. HISTORY OF B R E A K FA S T BUNCH: The Wednesday morning gatherings began on May 18, 1983, when Pam’s Cafe was known as Dot’s Corner. The breakfast/social time was originally mostly women although one “gentleman” attended

this first meeting and “seemed to enjoy it very much.” Those around the tables the first time were: Audra Schnell, Maxine Kratzer, Edna Smith, Edna Noonan, Lillian Maurer, Martha Weck, Mable Zimpelman, Donna Mae Ogalsbee, Gertrude Rager, (continued on page 29)

MEMBERS OF THE NORTHFIELD HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1974 and their guests met in the Nixon Room at the Honeywell Center on Saturday, October 18, to celebrate their 40-year class reunion. Karen Bechtold welcomed 87 classmates, teachers, and guests. The class graduated 118 students of which 52 were present. Classmate Mike Breedlove, North Carolina, gave the invocation via video.

NIPSCO customers can expect lower winter heating bills compared to last year NIPSCO recently announced its forecast for home heating bills this upcoming winter heating season. Compared to last winter, NIPSCO projections indicate that natural gas bills for residential customers will be approximately four percent lower. Over the course of the five-month winter heating season – Nov. 1 to March 31 –NIPSCO’s average residential customers using a total of 628.1 therms could expect to pay approximately $513.84. By comparison, customers used 747.5 therms totaling $535.83 during the same five months last year. If temperatures are colder than normal, usage amounts and bills could be higher than projected. Last winter’s actual usage amounts were higher than normal due to record-low tempera-

tures during consecutive months. NIPSCO’s projections take into account market forecasts, supply trends and storage levels, among other considerations. “Last winter was one of the coldest on record and customers used more natural gas than normal, yet the abundance of domestic supplies continues to hold down market prices,” said NIPSCO CEO Jim Stanley. “The outlook on natural gas costs remains stable for the foreseeable future, which is good news for customers as we head into the winter heating season.” NIPSCO is one of the lowest natural gas bill providers in Indiana, according to bill comparisons released monthly by the Indiana Utility

R e g u l a t o r y Commission (IURC). The cost of natural gas represents the largest portion of customer bills – on average, two-thirds of an overall bill. NIPSCO has no mark-up and makes no profit on the cost of natural gas billed to its customers. Before billing, natural gas commodity costs must be reviewed by the IURC. While NIPSCO cannot control market conditions affecting the price of natural gas, the utility does negotiate the best possible price for the natural gas it purchases for its customers. NIPSCO’s purchasing strategy is a multi-faceted approach that consists of buying gas in the market from a variety of supply

sources at different times throughout the year. The ability to utilize gas storage helps to offset market price volatility. NIPSCO’s gas distribution system consists of three on-system storage facilities and connects to seven interstate pipelines providing access to eight major North American supply basins. Billing and Payment Options Customers who are experiencing financial difficulties are encouraged to call NIPSCO’s 24-hour Customer Care Center as soon as possible to determine what options might be available to offer help. Some of those solutions include: • P a y m e n t Assistance Programs: (continued on page 31)

challenging for tree survival and trees going into the winter months with water deficits and in decline from the drought will be in jeopardy come the following spring if not cared for properly this fall,” Purcell said. “Proper plant health care and good cultural practices such as mulching and watering will make a big difference in survivability.” The three-page publication Winterize Your Trees gives advice on how to help trees get through the cold winter months with sufficient water. As seasons change, trees prepare to over winter in the natural state of dormancy, during which they adapt to cold condi-

tions. Trees in urban and suburban landscapes, especially young trees or newly planted, need extra care to ensure a good start in the spring. “The key to survival is giving trees adequate moisture before winter freezes the world around them,” Purcell says in the publication. Purcell offers the following advice in the publication: *Wrap trunks of smooth or thin-barked trees in a flexible, white wrap specially made for trees. Such trees especially maple - are susceptible to sunscald and frost cracks. *Refresh the mulch so that 2-3 inches of it extend to the edge of the outer branches,

called the drip line. *Fertilize with micronutrients if the trees are not stressed from moisture deficit. Follow label directions. *Water trees whenever rainfall is insufficient in extended periods, adhering to the re c o m m e n d e d amounts in the publication. The best time for watering in the winter is when the temperature is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. *Prune trees to remove dying, diseased or dead branches or to improve branching structure. Late fall or early winter are acceptable times. Drought can have major consequences on tree health and survival. The five-page

Drought? Don’t forget the trees! explains how homeowners can help drought-stressed trees in the short and long term. Some of the advice in this publication is similar to that in Winterize Your Trees in that it is crucial to provide sufficient water and to mulch

trees to the drip line. But there are differences, too, including the need to avoid certain maintenance such as pruning and fertilizing. “Pruning green wood or live branches is not recommended in a drought because trees must expend energy to repair prun-

ing wounds,” Purcell said. He also said fertilizing any tree under stress conditions is not a good practice, especially during drought. “Trees expend additional energy to process the nitrogen, pulling water from the roots, which can worsen tree health,” he said.

Timing is everything when it comes to replacement of your current heating/cooling system. Replacement on your time schedule rather than in an emergency situation makes perfect sense, so why tempt Murphy’s Law? With the propane gas shortage and very high price of propane, now is the perfect time to consider a Hybrid system or Geothermal heating/ cooling system for your home. “We bought geothermal because of the energy savings. We received a $1,500* rebate for switching from gas to electric and the system qualified for a 30% Federal Energy Tax Credit.

Top tips for winterizing propane equipment As harvest comes to a close, take a moment to winterize equipment. Proper storage and maintenance in the offseason lowers upkeep costs and reduces downtime from broken parts, helping ensure systems work safely and efficiently next season. Nearly 40 percent of farms in the U.S. use propane to run pumps and engines, heat buildings, and dry and process crops. With propane-fueled equipment, winter preparation and storage is similar to that of conventional fuels, but there are some key advantages and considerations to keep in mind. Together

with leading grain dryer, irrigation engine, and work truck manufacturers, the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) compiled a list of tips on preparing your propane equipment for winter. Grain Dryers After a busy harvest, it is important to properly inspect and clean out grain dryers to prevent foreign material from degrading augers, auger troughs, and metering rolls of your dryer. Gary Woodruff, grain conditioning technology manager with GSI, gives producers the following advice to keep their propane fueled dryers safe during the off-

season and ready for the next season: -Carefully turn off and lock out any electrical and gas supplies before starting any maintenance or cleaning. Open all access doors on the grain basket of the dryer and completely clean out any debris with brushes or pressurized air. Leave these access doors open during the non-drying season. -Inspect power and control panel boxes for accumulation of debris. Using soft brushes or the careful use of pressurized air, clean and wipe down these boxes thoroughly. -Inspect burner ignition wires, flame detection wires, and control and power panel wiring for deterioration and replace if needed. Inspect

wiring connections that might have loosened during the drying season and tighten. -Visually inspect bearings to see if any need to be replaced. Do the same with drive belts and chains and lubricate the chains for the winter. -Turn off the main supply valve from the LP gas tank and bleed out all gas from the entire gas train by running the burner until all pressure is gone. Carefully inspect all hoses and fittings and replace any that show wear, tear or deterioration, particularly any flexible gas hoses. Irrigation Engines According to Pete Stout, product manager at Origin Engines, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s propane irriga(continued on page 33)

Top tips for winterizing propane equipment... continued from page 32 tion engines do not require extensive winterization procedures beyond regular practices, such as removing debris and dirt that have collected on the engine, and changing the oil filter and spark plugs. He offered the following additional tips to keep irrigation systems in shapeover the winter months: -Disconnect the engine battery, check front drive belts for proper tension and wear, inspect the wire harness for cracked or exposed wires, and make repairs as necessary. -Use cylinder-fogging oil to prevent rust on the cylinder walls for engines that are stored outdoors or in buildings that are not temperaturecontrolled. -If possible, remove irrigation power units from the field and store indoors during winter. If engines are left in the field, they should be protected by a semi-enclosed structure to prevent as much exposure to the elements as possible. “I also urge farmers who store engines outdoors to cover the engine with a tarp,” Stout says. “Moisture, UV sunlight, and rodents are the cause of most startup problems in the spring.” Pickup Trucks Propane autogas powered pickup trucks require the same seasonal maintenance as gasolinepowered trucks. Additionally, there are no startup concerns with propane autogas during colder months, and propane autogas vehicle don’t have problems with fuel gelling like conventional diesel engines do in the colder climates. “Cold climates are not a concern with liquid injection propane autogas engines,” says Todd Mouw, VP sales and marketing at Roush CleanTech, a Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier. “The fuel remains in a liquid state until it gets to the cylinder, alleviating cold start issues associated with vapor technology

propane systems of the past. In fact, most fuel systems provide unaided cold weather starts to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit.” Mouw recommended these additional tips for winterizing pickup trucks: -Check all air filter and fluid levels, including oil, antifreeze, and washer fluid. Make certain the heater, defroster, and both windshield wipers are in good condition. -Examine tires for tread wear and proper inflation and install snow tires, all-season radials or toss a set of chains in the back if you think you may need

ing it safe and easy to store during the winter months. Still, here are some additional safety tips to keep your storage tanks and equipment safe in the cold, wind, and snow. -Gather the unused propane cylinders bought for gas grills, mowers, or forklifts. Secure the cylinders in an outdoor storage cage or other protected storage area away from ignition sources. -Mark your propane tank with a flag, pole, or stake higher than the average snow cover depth for your area. These markers will help you avoid plowing into or shoveling snow on top of

your tank. -Maintain winter access to your outdoor storage tank, keeping a path clear of snow and ice. -Take advantage of automatic delivery options if available. This allows the propane retailer to efficiently plan a route and keep your tank adequately supplied. -If you’re not part of an automatic delivery program, it’s recommended that you call for delivery when your tank is at 30 percent full. This will avoid running empty in times of heavy snowfall when roads may be inaccessible for delivery.

Community Foundation hosts scholarship workshop In early November the Community Foundation of Wabash County will host four Next Steps programs, one in each of the county’s public high schools. The workshop on applying for financial aid for college and career training focuses on C o m m u n i t y Foundation scholarships. Donors with a vision for helping students achieve a college degree or professional certification have established more than 50 scholarships for Wabash County residents. Seniors and their families, including younger siblings, are

welcome to attend at any site. Most scholarships are restricted to graduates of public or private school, but several are available to home schooled students. Next Steps will take place at Manchester High School on Nov. 3, Wabash Middle School on Nov. 6, Southwood High School on Nov. 10, and Northfield High School on Nov. 11. All events begin at 6:30 p.m.. On November 12, Wabash Jr./Sr. High School will host a college and career fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Local scholarships are one of the best sources of financial aid. Applicants for

local scholarships compete in a small pool, unlike applicants for state or national scholarships that draw hundreds or thousands of applicants. Other sources of local scholarship include service clubs and organizations, churches, and parents’ employers. These—combined with state and federal aid and the assistance provided by

colleges, universities, and certification programs— make up a student’s financial aid package. C F W C Scholarships are available for traditional two and fouryear degrees and programs leading to industry recognized certifications in fields such as advanced manufacturing, welding, (continued on page 36)

Scholarship (LECS), a full tuition, fouryear scholarship to any accredited fouryear college or university, public or private, in the state of Indiana. The scholarship is administered by the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County and is awarded to one Wabash County high school senior. Selection is based on a combination of scores for, among other things, academic achievement, financial need, and l e a d e r s h i p . According to CFWC program director Julie Garber, “The Lilly Endowment was an early leader in the effort to get more Indiana students to college.

Since 2002, twentyfive Wabash County students have attended college on a LEC Scholarship program. Many scholarships require essays in the application, giving candidates a chance to demonstrate their skill at written expression. Wellcrafted essays can give a student an edge in the competition and compensate for other aspects of the application that may not be as strong. Next Steps provides helpful instruction on writing essays that will be persuasive for the people who review applications and select recipients. Guidance is also provided for choosing a reference who can provide an influential letter of recommendation. C o m m u n i t y Foundation scholarships that are awarded on the basis of financial need require applicants to demonstrate their financial circumstances. All applicants for CFWC scholarships must file a “College Costs Estimator” through the Indiana Center for College Costs. The process is nearly identical to the FAFSA and information from the estimator may be exported to the FAFSA form online. Families who file an estimator also receive a customized report from the Center for College Costs, which they may use in their financial planning for college. Through a contract with CFWC, the

Indiana Center for College Costs also provides financial aid counseling and information to any Wabash County family at no cost. Working with the center to evaluate their family finances, “families know instantly which colleges are apt to work best financially and which ones may not work out so well,” according to Executive Director Dave Murray. Applications for the Lilly endowment C o m m u n i t y Scholarship are due Jan. 12, 2015. Applications for C o m m u n i t y Foundation scholarship are due March 16, 2015. Applications for 2015 will be available online in early November at www.cfwabash.org. Questions regarding Scholarships or the Next Steps program may be directed to Julie Garber, 260-982-4824 or Julie@cfwabash.org.
