by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Tuesday, Sept. 2 was a day of celebration and congratulation as Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann visited Wabash for the official “Stellarbration.” The event was a chance for Ellspermann to congratulate Wabash on its Stellar Communities designation and for Mayor Vanlandingham to recognize the community leaders who made it possible. Originally scheduled to take place on the Honeywell Center Plaza, the event was moved to Legacy Hall due to weather concerns. With nearly 200 in attendance, the event began with a performance of the national anthem by Wabash High School’s Symphonic Voices and an introduction by Mayor Vanlandingham. “I’ve been trying to think through the last few days how I want to go about doing this. This is what I think is a real Wabash introduction and a real Wabash welcome,” said Mayor Vanlandingham. “First off, our Lieutenant Governor is a wife and a mom, and if I remember right, you’re married to a high school or middle school administrator, so I know she’s (continued on page 7)

Schlemmer Brothers Metalworks named 2014 Business of the Year

Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Board Chair Lance Agness recently announced Schlemmer Brothers Metalworks as the 2014 Business of the Year. “We recognize their longstanding dedication to Wabash County and their ongoing support and investment within our community,” said Agnes. “Schlemmers’ continued business growth and expansions in recent years has helped enhance our downtown area and benefited many within our region. Please help us celebrate and honor Schlemmer Brothers as our 2014 Business of the Year.” In 1903, John Schlemmer opened an implement, harness, and buggy business at 108 and 114 West Canal Street. He was joined in the business shortly thereafter by his brother, Jacob. Five years later, two more brothers, Clarence and George, rented the east room on the second floor

of the building and opened a sheet metal shop, which they called Schlemmer Brothers. They eventually bought the implement, harness, and buggy business from John and Jacob and added a line of hardware. In 1931, George became ill and Clarence bought his half of the business. Clarence’s son, Elton, came on board in 1936 and served as salesman for a new line of appliances that had been added to the retail mix, including washers, dryers, refrigerators, and small appliances. In 1945, two more of Clarence’s sons, Byron and Sam, returned to Wabash, and with their brother Elton, bought the business from their father. The three brothers operated the business together until 1955, when Sam sold his one-third interest to Byron and Elton in order to open Sam’s Sport Shop on Market Street in Wabash.

(photo by Eric Stearley) In 1973, Elton sold his half interest in the business to Jon Schlemmer, Byron’s son, and in 1976, Jon bought Byron’s half interest to become the sole proprietor. Jon expanded the business and added many innovations, including the addition of “Metalworks” to the company name and the logo that is still in use. Jon’s untimely death in an automobile

accident in 1985 caused the business to be for sale, and it was bought by the shop foreman, Dave Thomson, making Mr. Thomson the only non-family member ever to own Schlemmer Brothers. In 1998 the business was purchased by Kent Henderson, Byron’s grandson, and he continues as owner today—the fourth (continued on page 10)

Wabash County Tobacco-Free Coalition applauds CVS on becoming tobacco free macy benefits manager with nearly 65 million plan members, and expanding specialty pharmacy services, CVS Health enables people, businesses and communities to manage health in more affordable, effective ways. “Each year, CVS Health touches more than 100 million people by playing an active, supportive role in each person’s unique health experience and in the greater health care environment,” said Merlo. “Consumers are increasingly taking control of their own health, and through our 26,000 pharmacists and nurse practitioners, we are helping people on their path to better health.” “By eliminating cigarettes and tobacco products from sale in our stores, we can make a difference in the health of all Americans,” Merlo declared. “The sale of tobacco in a retail pharmacy conflicts with the purpose of the health care services delivered there,” said CVS Health’s Chief Medical Officer Troyen A. Brennan, M.D., M.P.H. “Even more important, there is evidence developing that indicates that removing tobacco products from retailers with pharmacies will lead to substantially lower rates of smoking with implications for reducing tobaccorelated deaths.” Results of a new study from CVS Health, included in a Health Affairs blog, show that the enactment of policies to eliminate the sale of tobacco products at

retailers with pharmacies in San Francisco and Boston was associated with up to a 13.3 percent reduction in purchasers of tobacco products. In addition to removing cigarettes and tobacco products for sale, CVS Health kicked off a comprehensive and uniquely personalized smoking cessation campaign to help millions of Americans to quit smoking. “Quitting smoking is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health and protect the health of your family, but quitting isn’t easy,” said President Helena Foulkes. CVS Health is at the forefront of a changing health care landscape and has the expertise to drive

innovations needed to shape the future of health The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids applauds CVS Health for its courageous leadership in ending tobacco sales at its 7,700 retail pharmacies. This decision will reduce the availability of tobacco products and sends an unmistakable message to all Americans, especially children, that tobacco use is uniquely harmful and socially unacceptable. We also applaud CVS Health for launching a new smoking cessation campaign to help Americans quit smoking. CVS Health’s decision represents the bold action needed from all segments of our society to accelerate progress

against tobacco and make the next generation tobacco-free. It comes appropriately, a this year, the nation marks the 50th anniversary of the first Surgeon General’s report on smoking and health. The latest Surgeon General’s report, released in January, reported that smoking kills 480,000 Americans annually, sickens millions more, and costs the nation more than $289 billion in health care expenses and economic costs every year. The Surgeon General also underscored that tobacco use is first and foremost a pediatric epidemic – 90 percent of adult smokers began at or before age 18, and 5.6 million kids alive today will die prematurely from smoking-caused dis-

CVS Caremark Corporation is changing its corporate name to CVS Health to reflect its broader health care commitment and its expertise in driving the innovations needed to shape the future of health. As a further demonstration of its commitment to health, CVS Health also announced the end of tobacco sales at CVS/pharmacies as of Sept. 3, nearly a month ahead of the previously targeted date of Oct. 1. In February, the company announced that it would end the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products at its CVS/pharmacy stores, making CVS/pharmacy the first and only national pharmacy chain to take this step in support of the health and well being of its patients and customers. The ending of tobacco sales sends a resounding message to the entire retail i n d u s t r y : Responsible retailers – especially those that provide health care through pharmacies and clinics – should not be in the business of selling cigarettes and other tobacco products. There is a fundamental conflict between promoting health and selling tobacco products, which are the number one cause of preventable death. Retailers should not have it both ways. “For our patients and customers, health is everything, and CVS Health is changing the way health care is delivered to increase access, lower costs, and improve quality,” announced Larry J. Merlo, president and CEO of CVS Health. “As a pharmacy innovation company at the forefront of a changing health care landscape, we are delivering breakthrough products and services, from advising on prescriptions to helping manage chronic and specialty conditions.” With 7,700 retail pharmacies, 900 walk-in medical clinics, a leading phar-

Ivy Tech to offer course for Pharmacy Technician Certification

Ivy Tech Corporate College is offering a comprehensive 50hour course that will prepare students to take the Pharmacy T e c h n i c i a n Certification Board’s certification exam and enter the evergrowing pharmacy field. Classes will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays Sept. 16 through Nov. 4. Course content includes medical terminology specific to the pharmacy, read-

ing and interpreting prescriptions, and defining drugs by generic and brand names. Students will learn dosage calculations, intravenous flow rates, drug compounding, dose conversions, dispensing of prescriptions, inventory control and billing and reimbursement. The Pharmacy Technician Certification Program includes a graded final test to help prepare students for the actual certification exam. The course will meet at The Excel

Center, 101 W. Superior St. in Kokomo from 5-8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays Sept. 16 through Nov. 4. The cost of the course is $1,119 per participant, which includes the cost of taking the PTCB. The cost of required clinicals with a local pharmacy is not included in the price. For more information or to register, contact Brent Marley, Ivy Tech Corporate College, at 800-4590561, ext. 281, or bmarley6@ivytech.edu. Pharmacy technicians work in pharmacies under the direction of a pharmacist filling prescriptions according to doctors’ orders.

Pharmacy technicians prepare medications for dispensing to patients, including retrieving drugs in the correct dosage form and strength, measuring the appropriate amount of drug and producing a prescription label. Depending upon the practice setting, a pharmacy technician may also be involved in the admixture of drugs for intravenous use. Other duties include checking inventories and ordering supplies, receiving and checking in supplies, assisting customers, keeping pharmacy work areas clean, and completing insurance forms. Pharmacy techni-

cians may work in retail pharmacies, mail order pharmacies, home infusion pharmacies, longterm care facilities, hospitals, clinics, and large industrial complexes. The demand for pharmacy technicians continues to grow, the result of the availability of new drugs, the national shortage of registered pharmacists, the establishment of the position of certified pharmacy technician and the aging population. Students should have taken math and science in high school. A high school diploma or GED is required to sit for the PTCB exam.

Manchester’s Brad Yoder is Indiana Social Worker of the Year Brad Yoder, a professor of sociology and social work at M a n c h e s t e r University, has been named Indiana Social Worker of the Year by the National Association of Social Workers. “It is a welldeserved honor that signifies a lifetime of excellence in his profession,” said Barb Burdge, Social Work Program director and field instruction coordinator at the University. She was among those nominating him for the honor, citing his total commitment to serving others. She said Yoder “embodies social work’s mission and values” and helps students create their own vision of what social work should be. Yoder is in his 37th year of teaching at Manchester. He helped start the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity 29 years ago and has led students on spring break Habitat projects 27 times. An avid runner, he also has served as an assistant cross country and track and

field coach for nearly 27 years. He said he’s been teaching so long, he is now seeing students who are the children of people he once taught or coached. “I consider teaching to be a sacred privilege, and coaching is a special kind of teaching,” Yoder said. The North Manchester resident said education is not pouring information into someone’s head, “it’s developing the whole person.” Burdge said that Yoder himself continues to learn, auditing a course at Manchester almost every semester. His many honors include Faculty Excellence Award for Service at Manchester, Secrist scholarships for peace endeavors and Region 3 (northeast Indiana) Social Worker of the Year. Three times in three decades, he has been president of the Indiana Association of Social Work Education. “I greatly appreciate the creative and supportive colleagues and atmosphere at

M a n c h e s t e r University that nourishes and supports what I do,” Yoder said. Outside the classroom, Yoder leads field trips to visit criminal justice institutions and programs for youths and adults, is active in the Manchester Church of the Brethren, travels with students to Jamaica every other year to study international social work, and helps to lead anti-racism workshops with Goshen College and Manchester students each year. “Education is not about checking off a list of requirements,” he said. “At Manchester, we try to teach people to prepare for a lifetime.” Yoder will receive the Indiana Social Worker of the Year honor at the NASW state conference in Indianapolis on Sept. 29. “There are hundreds, even thousands, of social workers in Indiana who deserve to be Social Worker of the Year,” he said. “They are involved in coura-

geous, sometimes difficult work with people who are facing sometimes almost unbelievable challenges and problems.” He also appreciates his social work colleagues around the world, adding that being part of the National Association of Social Workers delegation to Russia in 2010 was a “powerful and moving experience.” Yoder tries to bring six things into everything he does: faith, learning, service, body, mind, and spirit. His goal is to see a world in which every person has: enough clean water to drink; education with the opportunity to learn to read and write in one’s own language; adequate shelter; access to health care; and meaningful work. “I think the most important organization working toward those goals is the United Nations,” he said, noting that Manchester has a close connection to the U.N.’s early days. Andrew Cordier, who graduated from Manchester in 1922 and later taught there, helped

organize the United Nations. The main auditorium at the North Manchester campus is named after Cordier, who was also president of

Columbia University. Yoder received his bachelor’s degree in sociology from Goshen College in 1963, his master’s degree in social work

from Indiana U n ive r s i t y - P u rd u e U n i v e r s i t y Indianapolis in 1965 and his doctorate in 1979 from The Ohio State University.

THE PAPER

September 10, 2014

Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann visits... continued from front page i n t e l l i g e n t , ” Vanlandingham, a former school administrator, joked. “She’s honest and hardworking. She’s tough, but she’s fair. She’s easy to talk to, because she listens. She’s consistent in making decisions. She has a Ph.D. in engineering. I thought, ‘Man, she’s intelligent,’ then I found out it was from Purdue! Only joking. “She’s no stranger to Wabash. She’s been here many times and is always welcome,” said Mayor Va n l a n d i n g h a m . “What I really like is she’s a champion for small communities, and today, she’s our champion.” With that, the Lieutenant Governor took the stage and addressed the crowd. “It’s so special to be here with all of you,” said Ellspermann. “I love the opportunity to be here with you today to celebrate with you at your great Stellarbration! “I know here in Wabash it didn’t just start with the Stellar Communities. You’ve been working for a long time. I know this has been a long journey for this community. It’s been a lot of months, and actually, I think it’s been two to three years for the people of Wabash, and I know for many of you, it really was a labor of love that you did for your community, for the place you call home. “I’ll begin with where we are, here in the Honeywell Center. This is an amazing place to be, and then the Charley Creek Inn down the road are two great examples,” said Ellspermann. “The things you’ve done for Internet connectivity here in the community and the Wabash Promise that you’ve

done for your children all demonstrate the great commitment you have to make Wabash a great quality place. I think you understood that there was even more to be done, and that’s what the Stellar process has allowed.” As a finalist last year, Wabash placed third behind Bedford and Richmond, the 2013 designees. Since then, Mayor Vanlandingham has expressed, on many occasions, the value of the Stellar application process for all c o m m u n i t i e s involved, regardless of the result. Ellspermann echoed those sentiments Tuesday. “There really are no losers in the Stellar C o m m u n i t i e s process,” said Ellspermann. “We’ve heard from all of the communities, as they’ve applied, even if they didn’t win the designation, they were out there making those good things happen in their communities, and as mayor, you said, ‘bringing all of us together around the table to figure out what the future of our community was going to be,’ and you’ve done that here. “You look at needs for new and rehabilitated housing, the improved pedestrian and vehicle connectivity, enhanced park and community center facilities, and continued downtown development – all part of a very comprehensive and doable combination of private and public sector funding with broad community support. For all those reasons, it’s absolutely right to be right here in Wabash today to celebrate,” said Ellspermann.

After Mayor Va n l a n d i n g h a m ’ s friendly teasing about Ellspermann’s studies at Purdue during the introduction, the Lieutenant Governor was sure to return the favor with a bit of humor. “For those who don’t know this, the Stellarbration was delayed a little bit until the mayor would be back in town, because he had this well-deserved vacation scheduled right after we made the announcement at the state fair two weeks ago,” said Ellspermann. “I really wanted to copy that Super Bowl ad by asking the mayor, “What are you going to do

now that you’ve been named the Stellar Community?” to which he would have answered honestly, “I’m going to Disney World!” and he did, he went to Disney World.” With the audience laughing along with the Mayor, Ellspermann closed her comments. “Please let me add my personal congratulations to Mr. Vanlandingham, the Stellar team, and the entire Wabash community on your 2014 Stellar Communities d e s i g n a t i o n . Congratulations!” Before releasing the crowd to the ice cream social, Mayor Vanlandingham once

again took the stage, reflecting on the long process and those who made it possible. “I remember when we didn’t win last year, we thought we had done a heck of a job, but we didn’t win,” said Va n l a n d i n g h a m .

“Sometimes I’m not a good loser, but one thing that happened, after we got over the pity party part that we didn’t win…this Stellar group got together, and we started taking piece by piece – what we did, what we should have

locally and have contributed much to the community’s aesthetics, as well as the continued growth of their business through diverse markets. Kent is actively engaged in the public arts projects, and his handiwork is demonstrated with the bike racks, the Veteran’s plaza stainless steel table and decorative awning, the Chamber’s own bracket metalwork in our building signage, and so much more. He continually finds solutions for other

businesses and takes great pride in helping to beautify our community. I’m thrilled to be able to celebrate Schlemmer Brothers as our 2014 Business of the Year.” “With so many deserving and esteemed businesses in Wabash, it makes this recognition a big surprise,” said Henderson. “The distinction lies with our employees, as Schlemmer Brothers is nothing more than the sum total of these dedicated individuals. On behalf of

Schlemmer Brothers and its employees, I am honored to receive the Chamber’s 2014 Business of the Year award.” Whatever the needs of the customers in alternative heating or metal fabrication, Schlemmer Brothers Metalworks has always been, and will continue to be, ready and willing to meet them.

In some cases, in some regions, I don’t think that’s being done. In this region, in this community, in this county, everybody pitches in and works together, and if there’s any one thing

that I think helped us, [it] was the fact that we do that. “Even though we didn’t get it last year, we continued working on those projects. We were going to complete them; it may have taken us 12 years, but now we get to do it in four.” After introducing and thanking each committee member, community leader, business, and organization that made this year’s win possible, M a y o r Va n l a n d i n g h a m introduced the Harness Family Band and released those in attendance to mingle while enjoying one of three ice cream sundae flavors: Stellar S t r a w b e r r y, Champion Chocolate,

11 Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District receives grant THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

September 10, 2014

New grants for the care of Indiana’s water bodies totaling $994,300 have been awarded through the Lake and River Enhancement (LARE) program in the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. The grants help

fund 23 projects in 18 counties. The Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District was awarded $60,000 for watershed land treatment on the Eel River Watershed, where they will be applying cover crops. Local sponsors sub-

mit applications for LARE assistance and commit to sharing a portion of the total cost. DNR’s share comes from a fee paid annually by boat owners when registering their boats with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The grants

allow for the completion of projects that are difficult for smaller local organizations to fund. The projects include water quality monitoring, bank erosion control, and watershed land treatments to reduce the amount

of sediment and nutrients entering water. Six grants for land treatment were awarded to Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs). These grants will complement SWCD efforts with local landowners.

North Manchester educator to lead Midwest SHAPE district

Kim A. Duchane, professor of exercise and sport sciences at M a n c h e s t e r University, is the new president-elect of the Midwest District of the Society of Health and Physical Educators. He was elected to lead the sixstate district at the SHAPE America national convention in St. Louis, Mo. As a national spokesperson for the Midwest organization, Duchane will promote quality physical education, physical activity and sport programs. He also will lend expertise to tackle the growing epidemic of physical inactivity in children and the importance of physical activity for everyone. A nonprofit professional education association with close to 20,000 members, SHAPE America aims to enhance knowledge, improve professional practice, and increase support for high quality physical education, sport, and physical activity programs. SHAPE America, which has been setting the standard for the profession for more than 128 years, believes that daily physical activity is critical to improve school and work performance and the overall health of individuals. “My advocacy work promoting quality health and physical education programs in Indiana has been very rewarding and I hope to bring similar efforts in my new position,” said Duchane. “I plan to help project SHAPE America’s voice even stronger to help forge strong partnerships and identify policy items that are critical to our progress in pushing physical education higher on the priority list in schools and communities.” Duchane has served

in a variety of positions at the state and national levels. He was president of the Indiana Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. At the national level, he was chair of the Local Arrangements Committee for the 2010 national convention. Duchane also served on the Advocacy Committee, Physical Education Ethics Task Force, and Teacher of the Year Selection Committee, as well as a variety of committees in the Midwest District. The North Manchester resident has received several prestigious awards, including the Midwest Honor, Scholar, and Meritorious Service, as well as the Indiana AHPERD Leadership and Honor awards. He was a Teacher of the Year during his public school teaching experience in Texas. Duchane is a pub-

lished author of more than 25 journal articles and has shared more than 60 presentations to state and national audiences. Duchane will continue teaching as a M a n c h e s t e r University faculty member, a position he

has held for more than 20 years. His focus is to help teachers learn to nurture in their students the knowledge, skills, and desire to be physically active and make healthy choices now, and for the rest of their lives. Over the course of

his career, Duchane has supervised more than 100 student teachers. He teaches adapted physical education methods, elementary and secondary teaching methods, and health promotion courses at the undergraduate level at the University. Duchane holds a bachelor’s degree in physical education and health education from Northern Michigan University, a master’s degree in physical education and special education from Sam Houston State University in Texas, and a doctorate in adapted physical education from Texas Woman’s University.

Some projects will also result in the creation of habitat elements such as riffle pools, stream meanders and wetlands for fish and other aquatic organisms. Habitat enhancements encourage biological diversity in and around the streams, including more oppor-

tunities for game fish populations to thrive. “Simultaneously enhancing habitat for fish and other organisms while addressing erosion make this a clear ‘win-win’ for both the resources and the citizens of Indiana,” said Mark Reiter, director of DNR Fish & Wildlife.

Indiana American Water main flushing in Wabash will occur Sept. 8 – 30 Program enhances water quality, reliability, fire protection Indiana American Water will conduct water main flushing in the Wabash service area Sept. 8 – 30 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The company conducts the annual maintenance program to assure highquality water service and to ensure fire hydrants are operational. According to

Wabash District Superintendent Ryan Smith, “Water main and fire hydrant flushing is an important part of a regular maintenance program for water distribution systems. Indiana American Water consistently meets or exceeds all drinking water standards.” No interruptions in water service are anticipated as a result of the work. Customers may experience a slight drop in water pressure or

temporary water discoloration while this program is underway. Customers should refrain from doing laundry during the time of day the flushing program is taking place in or near their neighborhood. If tap water is discolored, Indiana American Water recommends allowing several cold-water faucets to run for a short time until the water runs clear. Using more than one faucet allows the water to clear more

quickly. Customers who have questions regarding hydrant flushing may call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-4928373. The water main flushing will be performed by Indiana American Water crews.

by Emily Armentrout Sarah Puckett, Wabash High School senior, signed her letter of intent on Monday, Sept. 8 to play basketball for the Indiana Tech Warriors. “I love the coaches and how it is close enough to home, but far enough away that I can stay there and be a college student. A lot of my church family works there as professors,” Puckett said of her decision to attend Indiana Tech. Puckett has been playing basketball since she was a child. At Wabash, she plays center for the Lady Apaches, but Puckett will be a three at Indiana Tech. While at Indiana Tech, Puckett will major in psychology and minor in youth ministries. Puckett has enjoyed her time as a Lady Apache and looks forward to senior year with her team and new coach, Matt Stone. “To my teammates, they rock. I love growing friend-

ships with them and I can’t wait for senior year. I’m excited just to see how everything is going to go. I was injured this summer so I didn’t get to play with my team as much as I would have liked, but watching them grow and just

get to our senior, especially with Matt, is awesome. I can’t wait to be a part of it,” said Puckett. Pictured, front row, from left: Denise Puckett, Sarah’s mother, Sarah Puckett, and Daniel Puckett, Sarah’s father. Back row:

DNR proposes regularseason 2014 waterfowl season dates The regular-season waterfowl dates, as proposed to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) by the Indiana DNR, are listed below. The dates are not final until approved by the USFWS in mid- to late-September. Look for another announcement around that time that will either confirm or amend these dates. Historically, they have been accepted as proposed. The DNR’s recommended dates for ducks, coots and mergansers are: — North Zone: Oct. 18 to Dec. 7, and Dec. 20 to 28 — Central Zone: Oct. 25 to Dec. 7, and Dec. 20 to Jan. 4 — South Zone: Nov. 1-9, and Nov. 29 to Jan. 18. The daily bag limit for ducks in all zones is six, including no more than four mallards (of which no more than two can be hens), three scaup, three wood ducks, two pintails, two redheads, one canvasback, one black duck, and one mottled duck. The daily bag limit for coots is 15. The daily bag limit for mergansers, separate from ducks, is five, of which no more than two can be hooded mergansers. The possession limit is three times the daily bag limit. The USFWS estimates the mallard breeding population at 10.9 million, about the same as last year, and 42 percent higher than the long-term average. Estimates of most species were similar to last year’s record-setting estimates. Total ducks, gadwalls, green- and blue-winged teal, shovelers, and red-

heads remain at or near record levels in 2014. For Canada geese, white-fronted geese, brant, and light geese, the proposed dates are: — North Zone: Oct. 18 to Nov. 9; Nov. 27 to Jan. 4; and Jan. 20 to 31 —Central Zone: Oct. 25 to Dec. 7; Dec. 20 to Jan. 4; and Jan. 18 to 31 —South Zone: Nov. 1-10, and Nov. 29 to Jan. 31. The daily bag limit this year for Canada geese during the regular season will remain at three, and the daily bag limit for white-fronted geese at two. The daily bag limit for brant is one. The possession limit is three times the daily bag limit. The daily bag limit for light geese (snow and/or Ross’ geese in aggregate) is 20, with no possession limit for light geese. The proposed late season for Canada geese is Feb. 1–15. The counties open during the late season are: Adams, Allen, Boone, Clay, DeKalb, Elkhart, Greene, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, H u n t i n g t o n , Johnson, Kosciusko, LaPorte, LaGrange, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Morgan, Noble, Parke, St. Joseph, Shelby, Steuben, Starke, Sullivan, Vermillion, Vigo, Wells and Whitley. A permit is no longer required to participate in this late season, and geese harvested during this season no longer need to be taken to a check station. The daily bag limit during the late Canada goose season has been reduced to three, with a possession limit of nine.

This bag limit reduction is due to a decline in Indiana’s breeding population of Canada geese, probably due in large part to the success of this late season. We are now at our state goal of 80,000 spring geese. The proposed light goose conservation order is Feb. 1 to March 31, statewide, except for those counties that have a late season on Canada geese. For those counties with a late season on Canada geese, the proposed light goose conservation order season is Feb. 16 to March 31. The light goose conservation order has no bag or possession limit. A free permit is required. Details will be available later in the winter. The DNR’s recommended dates for youth waterfowl season are: —North Zone: Oct. 11–12 — Central Zone: Oct. 18–19 —South Zone: Oct. 25–26 Bag and possession limits are the same as the regular seasons. The youth waterfowl season is open to youths age 15 and younger, accompanied by an adult. DNR’s recommended dates for extended falconry season for ducks, coots and mergansers are: —North Zone: Sept. 27–30, and Feb. 14 to March 10 —Central Zone: Oct. 18-24, and Feb. 17 to March 10 —South Zone: Oct. 25-31, and Feb. 17 to March 10 For more information, contact Adam Phelps, DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife, at 812-3341137 or aphelps@dnr.IN.gov.

Enrollment for new Dairy Farm Risk Management Program in Indiana has begun

USDA Launches New Web Tool to Help Producers Manage Unforeseen Economic Challenges USDA Indiana Farm Service Agency Executive Director Julia A. Wickard recently announced that starting Sept. 2, farmers are able to enroll in the new dairy Margin Protection Program. The voluntary program, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, provides financial assistance to participating farmers when the margin – the difference between the price of milk and feed costs – falls below the coverage level selected by the farmer. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also launched a new web tool to help producers determine the level of coverage under the Margin Protection Program that will provide them with the strongest safety net under a variety of conditions. The online resource, available at fsa.usda.gov/mpptool, allows dairy farmers to quickly and easily combine unique operation data and other key variables to calculate their coverage needs based on price projections. Producers can also review historical data or estimate future coverage based on data projections. The secure site can be accessed via computer, Smartphone, tablet or any other platform, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Development of the online resource was led by the University of Illinois, in partnership with the USDA and the Program on Dairy Markets and Policy (DMaP). DMaP partners include the University of Illinois, the University of Wisconsin, Cornell U n i v e r s i t y, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Minnesota, Ohio State University and Michigan State University. “The Margin Protection Program is an important tool that allows dairy producers to build a safety net that fits the needs of their operation,” said Wickard. “This program has the potential to assist over 2,400 dairy farmers throughout Indiana where more than 174,000 head of cattle produce 3.7 billion pounds of milk annually.” The Margin

Protection Program, which replaces the Milk Income Loss Contract program, gives participating dairy producers the flexibility to select coverage levels best suited for their operation. Enrollment begins Sept. 2 and ends on Nov. 28, 2014, for 2014 and 2015. Participating farmers must remain in the program through 2018 and pay a minimum $100 administrative fee each year. Producers have the option of selecting a different coverage level during open enrollment each year. Dairy operations enrolling in the new program must comply with conservation compliance provisions and cannot participate in the Livestock Gross Margin dairy insurance program. Farmers already participating in the Livestock Gross Margin program may register for the Margin Protection Program, but the new margin program will only begin once their Livestock Gross Margin coverage has ended. The Margin

Protection Program final rule will be published in the Federal Register on Aug. 29, 2014. The Farm Service Agency, which administers the program, also will open a 60-day public comment period on the dairy program. The agency wants to hear from dairy operators to determine whether the current regulation accurately addresses management changes, such as adding new family members to the dairy operation or inter-generational transfers. Written comments must be submitted by Oct. 28, 2014, at www.fsa.usda.gov or www.regulations.gov. The 2014 Farm Bill also established the Dairy Product Donation Program. The program authorizes USDA to purchase and donate dairy products to nonprofit organizations that provide nutrition assistance to low-income families. Purchases only occur during periods of low dairy margins. Dairy operators do not need to enroll to benefit from the Dairy Product Donation Program.

The 2014 Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America. For more information, v i s i t www.usda.gov/far mbill. Visit FSA online at www.fsa.usda.gov/factsheets, or stop by a local FSA office to learn more about the Margin Protection Program or the Dairy Product Donation Program.

Squires win at Death Valley

by Gary Andrews The football field at Tippecanoe Valley is known as Death Valley to many because of the odds of winning when you play there. The Manchester football team beat those odds Saturday as they used a balanced offensive attack and hard-hitting defense to beat the Vikings 27-20. Manchester would grab the lead on their first possession. After holding Valley four and out the Squire offense would go to work. On second and 9 from their own 6, an arrant snap that went into the end zone was picked up by quarterback Lucas Schilling, avoiding a safety and connecting with Bailey Ness for a 17 yard gain. On third and 10, Schilling would hook up with Kellan Norwood, who had broken loose down the left sideline for a 76 yard scoring strike with 8:49 on the clock. A Zach Hill extra point made it 70. Valley would respond in the quarter, scoring twice and led the Squires 12-7 after one. Valley was moving to start the second quarter when Kane Gable batted down a pass to end the drive. Manchester would take over on their own 10 and riding the

backs of Jacob Casper and Evan Milam, moved the ball quickly to Viking territory. With third and 10 from the 30, Schilling found Norwood to the 10 and one play later hooked up with Casper for a scoring strike to lead 14-12 at the half. After a Viking onside kick was recovered by Thad Miller to start the second half, the Squires offense went nowhere and after a sack were forced to punt. Valley blocked the punt and had the ball on the Manchester 14. The Squire defense rose to the occasion, shutting Valley down and taking over on the 7. On the third play of the series, Schilling found Kane Gable to the 35. Aided by an offside, the Squires kept the drive going, chipping away until Schilling found Milam on the Valley 18. On third down Schilling would scamper to the 4 and one play later Casper found the end zone with 1:26 left to give Manchester a 20-12 lead with a quarter to go. Valley wasted no time in the fourth, scoring with 9:30 left, going for two and converting to tie the score at 20. Manchester’s response was an 18-

by Gary Andrews After giving up a touchdown to North Miami on their first possession, the Northfield defense clamped down to pitch a shut out the remainder of the game to top the Warriors 14-7 and improve to 3-0 for the season. North Miami took the opening kick off, using 8.5 minutes on the drive to grab a 7-0 lead over the Norse before they touched the ball. The Norse would answer however, using the remainder of the quarter and 2.5 minutes of the second to tie the game on a Shane Vigar 6 yard touchdown run. Kyle Heiser kicked the extra point. During the rally, the Norse took advantage of an offside against the Warriors, plus a 15yard run from Josh

Bickel and a 14-yard pass play from Carter Frieden to Vigar. After each teams’ next possession went nowhere, the Norse would start a march down the field with 6:00 remaining, picking up 2 to 5 yards at a time before Jackson Beery broke loose for a 24 yard scamper to pay dirt with 1:12 left, as the Norse took a 147 lead to the locker room. The Norse would open the second half with a ball control drive that took them to the North Miami 15 before a fumble and a sack stopped the drive. North Miami would then copy the Norse with a similar drive that went to the Northfield 27 before running out of downs. The quarter ended with the Norse leading 14-7 and driving once more.

JACOB CASPER SCORING ONE of his three touchdowns in Manchester’s win over Tippecanoe Valley Saturday (photo by Gary Andrews) play drive that took five minutes off the clock when Jacob Casper found the end zone for the third time with 4:34 left. The Zach Hill kick made it 27-20. The Bailey Ness kick off found the end zone, forcing the Vikings to go 80 yards. Valley would mount a drive, marching down the field quickly and eventually had the ball on the Manchester 2 yard line with 40 seconds r e m a i n i n g . Manchester stuffed the middle to stop the Vikings with no gain, forcing Valley to take their last time out

with 21.8 left. The result of the next play was a 4 yard loss with Valley scampering to ground the ball with 2.4 on the clock. Going nowhere on the ground, Valley elected for the last play of the game to be a pass, that tipped the fingers of the receiver in double coverage at the back of the end zone with Lucas Schilling and Jacob Casper giving the receiver no chance for the catch. Lucas Schilling was 13 of 28 for 228 yards and two touchdowns. Jacob Casper rushed 20 times for

102 yards with two touchdowns. Lucas Schilling added 12 for 55 yards, with Evan Milam 7 for 53 yards. Keelan Norwood had 3 catches for 95yds, 1TD.

Norse improve to 3-0 Northfield opened the fourth quarter with Shane Vigar taking the ball inside the five from the 42, only to be called back for holding. The drive stalled and the Norse punted with Beery nailing a kick to the Warrior 5 yard line. The two teams played field position with Beery again dropping a kick out of bounds inside the five. North Miami would get a couple big plays and had the Norse on their heels when their drive stalled on the Northfield 29 on an incomplete pass. The Norse offense couldn’t muster anything, punting once more, giving the Warriors one more shot. North Miami started on their own 36 and in six plays were on the Norse 30 with 35.6 on the clock when they went for

the end zone. Jackson Beery went high in the air to pick off the pass in the end zone to secure the third win for the Norse. Carter Frieden was 2 for 7 for 29 yards. Josh Bickel rushed 21 times for 99 yards. Jackson Beery added 5 for 44 yards, Carter Frieden 12 for 22 yards with Shane Vigar 5 for 18 yards, and Jensen Frieden 2 for 6 yards. Shane Vigar caught 2 passes for 47 yards.

Apaches give Zebras a scare

by Gary Andrews The Wabash football team gave Rochester all they could handle for 3.5 quarters Saturday, before falling to the Zebras 14-0. The Apaches had a shot to grab the lead in the first quarter when a stalled drive forced a punt that was fumbled by Rochester and Ben Dillon recovering on the Zebra 22. Luke Proctor would take the second play to the 9-yard line and on fourth a goal, the Apache field goal try

was blocked. Wabash mounted another drive midway through the second quarter that started on the Rochester 44. The Zebra defense along with an Apache penalty stalled the drive. On Rochester’s first play of their next possession, Trevor Gray picked off a Zebra pass to give Wabash the ball on the Rochester 49. The Apaches couldn’t get past the Rochester 30 as they stalled on downs and the first half ended 0-0.

Wabash had the ball first in the third quarter, but a couple Apache penalties would stall the drive. Defense was the name of the game in the third quarter as neither team could penetrate the others defense as we went to the fourth quarter scoreless. Wabash was in the middle of a drive when the fourth quarter started, getting to the Rochester 36 on fourth down when they faked a punt with Dirig taking it to the

47 for a first down. Three plays later the Apaches fumbled with Rochester recovering and mounting a drive when they fumbled with Julian Hobson recovering on the 4 yard line. On the second play, Wabash fumbled again with Rochester capitalizing with a score three plays later with 7:48 left to go up 7-0. The Zebras would tack on another score with 3:00 remaining for the 14-0 score.

management looking to “make bowling fun again”

Wabash County Little League Baseball benefits from test-drive weekend DAVE DORAIS AND MIKE HOLLAND OF D O R A I S CHEVROLET present Wabash County Little League Baseball President Alan Zimmerman with a donation of $1,000, which was raised during a weekend of $20 test-drives at the dealership. Donations like this allows Wabash to continue its little league program at a time when many communities are unable to afford it. “Dorais Chevrolet started in 1949. Wabash Little League started in 1953,” said Zimmerman. “Dave and I grew up together, we both played little league baseball, and we’d like to see Wabash Little League around for another 50 years, so we deeply appreciate all the assistance that Dave Dorais, the Dorais Chevrolet family, and all of the employees have done, and without their cooperation and help, we could not run a little league program in Wabash.” (photo by Eric Stearley)

MARK SOLLOWAY, ALONG WITH HIS WIFE CINDY and business partner, Kelsy Presl, have recently taken over ownership of the Wabash Cannonball Lanes bowling alley. Bowlers, competitive and fun seekers alike, can expect some changes to the beloved alley, but rest assured, the pizza won’t change. The first change coming to Cannonball Lanes is a league change up. Visitors will also be able to enter into a family dining atmosphere by the end of October. “We’re making some menu changes and offering

an opportunity to bring family into the dining room,” explained Mark. “We’re also adding more TVs so we can air more sporting events and make it kind of like a sports bar atmosphere,” added Presl. The Solloways and Presl have enjoyed bowling for years and have been associated with Cannonball Lanes’ past as well. Mark has been working as a mechanic there for 10 years, with five years of previous experience in the ProShop as well, and Presl has been bowling in a league there for the past few years

too. Owning a bowling alley has been a lifelong dream of Mark’s and when he started to put the plans into place, Presl decided to join him as well. “Basically, I just want to make an entertainment center for the community. We’re going to make bowling fun again,” Mark told The Paper. Community members can also look for entertainment in the bar and dining area, including live music and karaoke.

Volunteers needed Sept. 13 to help clean trash from Eel River Want a beautiful river with fish and other wildlife? How about a safe place to boat, watch birds and catch some of those fish? First you have to get rid of the rusty metal, broken glass, bicycles, air conditioners, chairs, and mud-logged tires. Volunteers are needed for the annual Middle Eel River Clean-Up, which works to clear the waterway in the North Manchester area each fall. It begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 13. Because there are usually a lot of glass and rusted items in the river, all crewmembers must be adults, said Terri Michaelis, coordinator for the Middle Eel River Watershed Initiative. The Initiative will provide gloves, trash bags, and drinking water. Volunteers will need to bring enclosed water shoes, tennis shoes, or boots – absolutely no sandals.

Crews will be trudging through water that is waist-high or higher and will need to be on the lookout for poison ivy, which hugs the shoreline. Bring bug spray. Volunteers will be working in the river, filling canoes with trash as they walk downstream. This is not the place for favorite clothes, cells, or jewelry. Volunteers will gather at the North Manchester Street Department, 407 Wabash Road. They’ll begin with some quick lessons in safety and river quality. Afterward, workers will find a light lunch waiting, donated and served by Rotary North Manchester. Advance registration is required and participants must sign a release form. To register or get more information, contact Terri Michaelis at 260-9825101 or tmmichaelis@manchester.edu.

During National Preparedness Month, the Red Cross reminds Americans to take simple steps to get ready for emergencies in their homes, workplaces

and communities. One way to support this mission is to become a regular blood donor. A stable blood supply is central to ensuring patient needs are met in emergencies. Blood can take up to three days to be tested, processed and made available for patients. It’s the blood already on the shelves that can help save lives when disaster strikes.

The Access partners with Wabash City Schools, Rotary Club to feed students our tutoring increases depending on what time of school we’re in. If it’s at the beginning of school, we have a lot more who want help. If it’s around report card time, we have a lot more, but it also

depends on the age group of kids.” “The elementary aged kids are very excited to have someone sit down with them, one on one, and because many of our volunteers are teachers or former teach-

ers, it’s not like someone is just telling them the answers, but were really trying to help them learn how to do it,” added Helm. Though they’re not at school and the program is not as academically focused,

Blossom sees The Access as a major asset in caring for the city’s youth. “We were always trying to figure out a way to funnel kids here, because we’re really trying to

LAURA HELM AND LIZ HOBBS talk with students as they get a snack after school on Friday, Sept. 5 at The Access Youth Center. (photo by Eric Stearley) by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com In true Wabash fashion, three organizations are collaborating to offer a constructive environment with healthy food to students after school. The Access Youth Center, which provides a safe place for kids after school, was recently approved as an offcampus site for Wabash City Schools’ afterschool snack program. In addition, the Wabash Rotary Club recently applied for a grant, which will be used to purchase a commercial freezer and refrigerator to store food at The Access. “Studies show that the most dangerous time for any kid is the time between when school lets out and mom and dad get home,” said Wabash High School Principal Josh Blossom. “There’s really hardly any supervision at all, and if we can insure that they’re here with people that care about them and getting something to eat, that means they’re going to be safe.” The Access started an afterschool program almost five

years ago. Open from 3:45-5 p.m., students of all ages head toward the downtown building to hang out with friends, play games, get help with homework, and get a snack. “It started out with us having six to eight kids a day,” said Executive Director Liz Hobbs. “If we had 10 kids, we thought that was great, and one day we had 15 about three or four months into it, and we thought, ‘Oh my gosh, we’ve got 15 kids in here!” Assistant Director Laura Helm added. “And now, our twomonth average is 38 kids per day, and the six-month average is 31, so we’ve seen a huge increase in that amount of time,” said Hobbs. Several years ago, Wabash High School started its own afterschool tutoring program, funded through a state grant. The following year, Food Service Director Melanie Honeycutt approached Blossom with a state-funded program, through which the school could provide afterschool snacks to students who stuck around for academic help.

“We always offer milk. We also offer a grain of some sort, and then we either offer a fruit or vegetable. Sometimes we throw yogurt in there or string cheese or something like that, so we give them three items for a snack,” said Honeycutt. “The state reimburses us just like a reimbursable lunch. It has to be open to anyone, it has to be a program that you’re being tutored or worked with, and you need to be there for 15 minutes.” As with any optional afterschool program, many students choose not to attend. Some of those kids make their way down to The Access, where they can play pool and Xbox games, work on homework, or just talk with friends, Access staff, and volunteers. “I think often times we’ll get to the tutoring portion as we talk to them and ask them how things are, especially if we get to the subject of grades,” said Hobbs. “We’re very blessed to have volunteers who are teachers or former teachers, so it’s great to have them here to be able do that.” Often

A Stellar Community: Façade Improvement

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

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com A decade ago, downtown Wabash was lackluster. Many old buildings, which once

housed thriving businesses, were vacated and in a state of disrepair. “When you drive through a town, that first opinion, that

first thing you see, is the impression you get, and something had to be done with that in our downtown,” said Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham. “We had old buildings, and they were in need of help. Marketplace stepped in and has just done a heck of a job.” Four years ago, Wabash Marketplace awarded grant money to building owners looking to improve the façades of their buildings. It was a catalyst for the remodeling of Charley Creek Inn, Eagles Theatre, and nearly two-dozen other buildings Downtown building owner Lisa Gillman took advantage of the program, using the grant as part of larger project to remodel the buildings at 41 and 47 West Market Street. Since completion, two new businesses, Lost Treasures in Tyme and Bash Boutique,

OWNED BY LISA GILLMAN, restoration and remodeling of the buildings at 41 and 47 West Market Street was recently completed. Gillman took advantage of Phase 1 façade grants through Wabash Marketplace. Phase 2 will allow 22 buidling owners to make similar improvements to downtown exteriors over the next three years. (photo by Eric Stearley) have opened. The second floor of both buildings was remodeled, creating two luxury apartments. An open house is scheduled Sept. 25 from 5-8 p.m. All told, the $174,000 grant total leveraged more than $30 million in downtown investment and brought over 100 jobs to Wabash. With the help of the Stellar Communities designation, Phase 2 will be much bigger. “The gap request is a little over $1.3 million, so now we can really do some significant changes. One of the big things downtown is that we have this incredibly cohesive, held together downtown of historical buildings. We are not missing every third building all the way thru downtown like many downtowns are,” said Wabash M a r k e t p l a c e Executive Director Patrick Sullivan.

“You know, when you start losing a tooth here and there, it starts looking bad really quickly, and we’ve been able to keep this cohesive look all the way throughout downtown. So having those historical buildings, but we need to make sure we keep them intact and keep them going.” This year’s Stellar application identified 22 building owners seeking façade grants. Individual projects range in size from the $405,500 façade renovation of what will become Rock City Lofts to Wabash Red Cross’s $10,000 project. Other notable businesses named in the application include Schlemmer Bros., Center Court B a r b e r s h o p , Thriftalicious, Gallery 64, The Francis Shoppe, and Modoc’s Market. Two projects, however, have been given first

priority: The Wabash County Historical Museum and The Bradley Building, which formerly housed Jack’s Antiques. “Both of those buildings are on a gateway, and both have multiple facades that face the public, so you have 13,000 cars going by [every day],” said Sullivan. “[The Bradley Building] is an important building. There are three major façades, and it’s in a little bit of a state of disrepair, and we need to get some progress on it. The city, as well as the State of Indiana, is willing to help, so that’s something that we can market to potential buyers.” While in much better condition than The Bradley Building, the museum is in need of new paint and some localized brick repairs. “The museum is one of the entities we

count upon for leveraging tourism dollars,” said Economic Development Group CEO Bill Konyha. “If we can manage to get people to come here, and we can get them to come into the museum and spend some money in the museum, it helps out our entire tourism trade. As a nonprofit, the museum doesn’t have access to all the capital that they need for the repairs.” Phase 2 of the façade program will encompass projects totaling just over $3 million, with the gap request making up 44 percent and the city committing $367,000. “It tends to be a dollar-for-dollar match,” Konyha said about the grant “The idea is that if there is an improvement to a façade that is $10,000, and if the façade program picks up half, that provides a heck of an incentive for the business owner to accomplish a big expense for only half the cost.” One additional issue that Sullivan and Konyha hope can be solved through the façade grant is the issue of roofs. Many buildings downtown are in dire need of roof repairs, but roofs do not qualify for façade grants. “If you don’t have a good roof, I don’t care how good your windows and doors and bricks are, if your roof leaks, you have a problem,” said Konyha. “I believe we have worked out an arrangement for this program that we can actually have the building owner do the roof repair and count that as the match for the façade, which is a big thing, because now we can get two things done.” In addition to boosting the local economy, the façade program is one way that community members are working together to

The Access partners with Wabash City Schools, Rotary Club to feed students ...continued from page 29 accomplish the same thing,” said Blossom. “It’s offsite, which is really important, because there’s a segment of the school…kids that just want to get out of school for some reason. They may have had a negative experience in the school, or just don’t want to hang out; they’ve had enough of that regimen and stress for a day, but they have developed positive relationships with adults and other peers at The Access. It’s a different approach to tutoring than what’s going to come from our teachers that are running our afterschool program. That different approach is really important for the kids that need it, and they find it here. It’s just a different way of doing the same thing I think.” “Our ultimate goal is the same in taking care of kids and helping them succeed and letting them know that they matter. We just kind of take different roads some times to that same goal,” Hobbs added. The Access has seen significant growth in the last year, and as a nonprofit, their limited funds were being stretched. With both afterschool programs working toward the same goal, a conversation was started about incorporating The Access into the afterschool snack program. “I asked Liz a bunch of questions, what activities, how many kids they planned on, different information, then I submitted that to the state and they OK’d it,” said Honeycutt. “It’s just helping us, and we were looking for that, because we had seen, towards the end of the summer, our numbers starting to grow and grow and grow, but we wondered, ‘Gosh, how are we going to pay for this.’ We’re thrilled; it’s a great problem to have,” said Hobbs. With The Access approved as an afterschool snack site, the school will be able to provide the organization with healthy afterschool snacks, for which they are reimbursed at the end of the month. “It fits right in with what we were already doing. We were

already offering protein and a grain and we also offered a sweet snack for them, but we were doing juice boxes, because we couldn’t afford milk. With their help, we’re able to offer fruits and vegetables, so that’s nice to be able to offer something a little bit healthier for their afterschool time, because that’s important for them.” This partnership was a big win for The Access and will allow them to continue to grow, but just as it solved one problem, it magnified another. The Access has always been limited in what they can serve, due to their small pantry space and the lack of cold storage. In the same week that they were approved for the state program, Hobbs received a call from former Access board member and Wabash Rotary Club’s President Elect Mitch Figert. “The Rotary Club has been trying to find a project that addresses family units as a whole and helps strengthen family units. We knew that the school and some other groups were going to start giving them more fresh food – milk, cheese, fresh fruit – and that was always an issue,” said Figert. “We want to accept those donations at The Access, but storage became hard, so we were able to get a grant for $4,200, half from the local club and half from the district, and that’s going to buy a new commercial size freezer and

refrigerator.” “Because of Rotary saying this is an important program, that’s going to provide us with the space to be able to handle the food and paper goods, and with the school helping us, we’re going to be able to continue to do this and do this at an even better level than we were before,” said Hobbs. Wabash While Rotary Club is meeting an immediate need regarding food, they recognize that The Access is focused on much more than food and help with homework. “Yes, it’s food, but I think the program has very little to do with food. It’s more about the impact that were making on these kids,” said Figert. “For the rotary club, it was even more than the academic side. We went back to strengthening family units. For a lot of these kids…what we call a snack is sometimes their supper, and so for us as a Rotary Club, that’s a burden that The Access can take off the parents…even if mom and dad can’t provide

that at home. It’s not just about the 30 kids that come down here, but it’s the impact that those 30 kids make with their brother and sister and parents. Liz and Laura are speaking to the whole family.” But The Access isn’t only for kids who can’t afford a snack. It’s a place to relax and enjoy. It’s obvious to anyone who steps inside the building that the kids are having fun. In addition to the freezer and refrigertor, the grant will fund additional pantry shelving, with any extra funds going to purchase additional food and paper products, as well as treats that don’t qualify for the school program. The club will also provide Rotarians to install the new equipment and to volunteer during the afterschool program. “[The additional volunteers are] really helpful for us, because when we first started, we really only had 1 person here with 6 or 8 kids. Then it became necessary to have two, and now we’re to the point where we really

need to have 3 volunteers every day to do this successfully, and to not just have the kids run in and out, but to touch base with them, so were thrilled to be able to have that volunteer component as well. Even with this help, The Access is looking for volunteers, as they are short staffed two days a week. After brief training and a background check, interested individuals can reach out to area students and make an impact. “This is where our kids are. They come to downtown pretty frequently. There’s just so much to do down here. Whether it’s going to the YMCA and the skate park or going down to Modoc’s to get coffee, this is kind of where they are after school and where they want to be,” said Blossom. “In terms of location, I think it’s really important. It’s right in the heart of Wabash City Schools district, and we have

qualified people who have a heart for kids and are about building those positive relationships with kids, so it makes perfect sense for us.” “Someone once described this place as ‘Wabash’s living room,’ and I think that’s a pretty good type of example of what we want to be and what we are,” said Hobbs. “We’re just very blessed to be able to do that.” Currently, plans are in the works to make The Access a school

It’s a need for others. For some of the [students] who come in here, food is a second thought, but for some, it is definitely the focus,” said Hobbs. “It

doesn’t matter how tender or tough they are, everybody likes to have a snack after school.” “Food is really that thing that sticks with those kids, and they get excited,” said Figert. “Our daughter is in kindergarten this year, and she comes home, and I ask her, ‘How was your day?’ and I don’t hear if she had computer, and I don’t hear what books she read, but I know what she had for lunch every day.” In addition to the opportunities to vol-

preserve the history of Wabash and propel it into the future. “This projects not only changes the ascetics of these buildings, but they change the expectations of Wabash,” said Sullivan. “It’s very easy to see the value of a program like this, especially when you look at what the downtown looked like 5 years ago to what it is today.” “I think the façade program is one of the most important pieces of the whole project, because it will impact a number of buildings, it will add value to the town’s space, and it will encourage additional façade work throughout the town,” said Konyha. The first round of façade improvements are scheduled to start next spring, with the final projects being completed in the fall of 2017. Beyond Phase 2, Sullivan hopes to continue the façade grant program through the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, which administered the grant for Phase 1. “I’ve had a lot of people say to me, you know, there’s been so many changes, but it’s that physical appearance that really sets the tone, and with the façade program and what we’ve got coming with Stellar, it’s going to be great,” said Mayor Vanlandingham. “It’s that first initial image that you see, and that’s what stays with you.

Dr. Mattern to retire after 56 years of dentistry

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com When Robert Mattern was a senior in high school, he was like a typical high school student – unsure of his future – until he was assigned a paper over his occu-

pation of choice. “I just thought about this earlier today. I just happened to choose dentistry to write about and it just went from there,” Mattern told The Paper. After being impressed by his paper, Mattern’s

mother encouraged him to go into dentistry, and after 56 years, Mattern has never looked back. “Many times over the years, I have thought about what I would do if I hadn’t become a dentist, and I can’t think of anything I would rather

do.” Graduating from Wabash High School in 1952, he went onto Indiana University School of Dentistry, graduating in 1956 and heading into the Air Force. Mattern was a dental officer for two years before moving back to his

native Wabash in August 1960, going into a practice with two other dentists at the Wabash Medical Center for 19 years. In 1980, Mattern purchased property and built his current practice. In 1985, Mattern’s son, who also went

into the dental field, graduated from den-

DR. ROBERT MATTERN DDS has been practicing in Wabash since 1960. He moved to his current location at 999 Manchester Ave. in 1980 after purchasing the property and building his practice. His son, who now takes over the practice completely, joined him in 1985. Dr. Mattern, pictured, stands with his original equipment from when he started his practice. He still uses this original equipment today, with some update modern technology attached. Dr. Mattern will retire from his practice at the end of September. (photo by Emily Armentrout)

The Matterns have been in a practice together since then, and his son has taken over the practice. “He’s taken over the property and the building. I’ve just been working here as an employee for the last few years. He plans to be here for a number of years and continue on by himself for a while,” Mattern said of his son’s plans after his retirement. Over the years, Mattern has been heavily involved in the Wabash communi-

ty. He has been a part of the Kiwanis Club since 1961, with 48 years of perfect attendance, holding multiple positions within the club over time. He was also the lieutenant governor for the club, which is a regional position. Mattern has been an Elder at the Christian Church since 1963. He was elected for two terms on City Council in the late 60s and early 70s. He has been president of the Chamber of Commerce and on the United Fund committee as well. Mattern

currently serves on the Paradise Spring board and the Falls Cemetery board. “I try to be active in the community. People always say they want to give back to the community. I think you need to participate in your community and I think I have done that,” Mattern told The Paper. Mattern has also served on the Council for Dental Education for the Indiana Dental Association for 46 years. He has been the president of that council and also has served on the missions board, directly contributing to the

dental community by interviewing students applying for dental school. “I have been interviewing students applying for dental school, probably into the thousands, and have been involved in their acceptance into dental school. I feel like that is a worthwhile contribution to the dental community.” Mattern will be retiring at the end of September.

slightly considered not coming to Wabash. I had family here. My wife is from here and had family around here too, so there was no question of where we would start a practice. We weren’t interested in the big city life,” explained Mattern. “Sometimes people say ‘you’re God’s gift to whatever profession,’ but I change the wording a bit. I never thought I was God’s gift to dentistry.

Dentistry was God’s gift to me. It’s been a

real good life,” added Mattern.

employee, has been given the responsibility of Utility Superintendent. This position will oversee the water and sewage departments. Ryan Shock, who has been the Interim Water Supervisor, will continue in that role and coordinate the water department’s work. In addition to filling Mugford’s various responsibilities, North Manchester is also now searching for a new Town Manager. Dan Hannaford, who held that position for the last fourteen years, is now retired with August 29th his last day in the office. The Town Council has named Carrie Mugford, North Manchester’s ClerkTreasurer, as Interim Town Manager while the search for a more permanent manager is conducted and finalized. Garber stated that “Carrie knows, better than anyone else, the way the town conducts its business. In addition, her primary responsibility is maintaining our budgets and that lends itself directly to being able to lead the various department heads and collaborate with the council during this interim period.” The search for a new Town Manager has started. The job was advertised with a deadline of August 22nd for applications. Interviews have partially been completed and the search committee hopes to have a recommendation for the council’s October meeting. The current leadership of North Manchester’s town services is: Carrie Mugford, ClerkTreasurer and Interim Town Manager, Jeff Perry, Chief of Police, Cam Kissinger, Fire Chief, Jennifer Hotchkiss, Director of Parks and Recreation, Wayne Stephan, Street Superintendent, and Adam Penrod, Utility Superintendent.
