Smoke-off raises money for charity Vanlandingham:

by Adam Smith Paradise Spring Historical Park was full of smoke on Saturday, Sept. 20, but it wasn’t because of a fire. It was the location of the second annual Smokin’ for a Cause charity event. Smokin’ for a Cause is an amateur backyard barbeque competition that began a few years ago when Gary Henderson, Smokin’ for a Cause board member and co-captain of the Dawg Gone Good BBQ team, received a smoker from his children for Christmas. He said that his son-in-law, Joe Gouvan, claimed to be better at using a smoker than Henderson. “I told him to find himself a smoker and we’d have a smoke-off in my backyard,” Henderson said. He couldn’t have predicted how many people would be interested in their little competition. Things quickly went from a two-person competition to having 14 teams registered. The venue also changed from Henderson’s backyard to the parking lot of the Wabash County Historical Museum. The location went through another change this year. A much larger crowd was expected this time around, and the museum’s parking lot wasn’t going to be big enough. When Smokin’ for a Cause couldn’t have a downtown street closed for the event, they decided Paradise Springs would be the next best place for a big crowd. There have also been Smokin’ for a Cause events in Auburn and Huntington, but Tim Jones, Smokin’ for a Cause board member and captain of the Smokin’ Jones team, said they didn’t go off as well as the Wabash events have. “There are lots of people here who want to come together and that’s unique of Wabash,” Jones said. There were 14 teams competing again

‘I’m not planning on running for a fourth term’

TIM JONES CHECKS HIS SMOKER during Smokin’ For A Cause at Paradise Spring Historical Park on Saturday, Sept. 20. Fourteen teams battled it out in the events second year. Proceeds from the smoke-off were donated to four local charities. (photo by Aaron Smith) this year. Each team prepared a pork butt, spare ribs, pulled pork, and their own barbeque sauce. The teams fired up their smokers Friday night to have everything ready for judging and public tasting by Saturday evening. Every item is judged on appearance, taste, and tenderness. For eight dollars, competition attendees were able to get all the pulled pork they could eat, along with three spare ribs and any of the sides available. The Grand Champion of Saturday’s event was Henderson’s own team, Dawg Gone Good BBQ. They will join last year’s winners, Holy Smokes BBQ, on the brick donated by Wabash Marketplace. Following behind was “WOW” That’s Smokin’ in second,

McNally’s Bro-B-Q in third, Bubba and the Bossman in fourth, and BBBQ in fifth. Dawg Gone Good BBQ also took first in the pulled pork category. They were followed up by Bubba and the Bossman in second, Smokin’ with Pro-Zach’s in third, 442 BBQ in fourth, and McNally’s Bro-B-Q in fifth. In the spare ribs category, Wellbrooke of Wabash’s team, “WOW” That’s Smokin’, took first place. They were followed up by McNally’s Bro-B-Q in second, Dawg Gone Good BBQ in third, Bubba and the Bossman in fourth, and BBBQ in fifth. The charities involved with Smokin’ (continued on page 5)

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Thursday, Sept. 18, three-term mayor Robert Vanlandingham announced that he will not seek a fourth term in the November 2015 election. The former city school principal was first elected mayor in November 2003. “I always told my people, you think things through, you gather all your information, and you use it to make your decision, and I have really done that,” said Mayor Vanlandingham. “It keeps going back to what’s in my heart. I’ve enjoyed the last three terms, but for some reason, in my heart, something’s telling me it’s time to stop.” Many things have changed in Wabash over the last 11 years. Since Vanlandingham took office, there has been a resurgence of energy as community leaders work to bring the city back to life. Last month’s Stellar Communities designation is evidence of the work that has been put into building a stronger city, and Vanlandingham played a key role in that. “I think one of the things I’m most proud of is the fact that when I got into office the first time, we had good people and good organizations doing good things, but we were never doing anything together,” the mayor recalled. “It’s taken a while to get everybody working together, and Stellar is a result of that attitude.” Politics is a second career for Vanlandingham, and when he talks about his time in the school system, there are obvious parallels to his work today. His resume would suggest that he has a talent for bringing people together. As a teacher, he fostered teamwork in his students. As a principal, he brought schools together. “When I was principal of Carpenter and a they closed that school, I said, ‘there’s no way in the world that I’ll ever go any place and teach or be a principal and have the kind of cooperation that I have from those teachers and the staff and everybody else,” said Vanlandingham. “I then became a principal over at Mills for several years, and I was wrong, because after a few years over at Mills, we had the very same thing. “ Just as Vanlandingham got teachers and students to work together to create a better school, he has brought department heads and community leaders together for a better Wabash. With the obvious similarities between his careers, there are also similarities in the way each comes to an end. “When I left, we were really doing well, but there was something in (continued on page 5)

Tractor Supply Co. supports pets and 4-H all in one day

by Sandy Johnson On Saturday, Sept. 20, Tractor Supply Co. partnered with Petfinder.com to host pet adoptions as part

of Pet Appreciation Week. The Wabash County Animal Shelter brought two adoptable dogs to the event: Shilo, a terrier

mix with a sweet disposition, and Sasha, an energetic and lovable brindle pit bull mix. In addition to pet

Amy Worthington and Timothy Katt to wed

Amy Worthington and Timothy Katt, both of Fort Wayne, would like to announce their engagement. Amy, the daughter of John and Darlene Worthington, Wabash, is currently employed at Federal Aviation Administration. Timothy, the son of Ron and Laura Katt, Fort Wayne, is currently employed at Gouty’s Service Center. The couple plans to wed Oct. 4.

adoptions, the Indiana Canine Assistant Network was on site for the first time in the Wabash TSC parking lot. A non-profit organization from Indianapolis known for training dogs to assist children and adults with physical and/or developmental conditions such as diabetes, autism or mobility-related disabilities, ICAN came to the area to promote their mission. Staff members brought three dogs: Senna, a golden-lab mix; Tuck, a 12-weekold golden retriever pup; and, Mack, a black lab. Throughout their visit, the dogs demonstrated their service abilities by turning a light switch on and off, nudging a person to alert them, opening a cabinet door and more. The dogs showed tremendous discipline and focus as they went through their commands.

To better understand what ICAN does, Director of Development and Outreach Denise Sierp explained the process of training the dogs for placement. “Right now, all training is done in the prisons by inmates,” Sierp said. “First, the pups work in a male facility where they go through some training. Then they are shipped to a women’s facility to train for a particular family or person. It is a twoyear training process for the dogs and takes plenty of time, money and resources,” she added. Although funding is supplied through donations, grants, the United Way, and private foundations, ICAN would like to expand its staff, create alternative sites, and develop a program for veterans to train the dogs, too. “Currently, we have a three-year waiting

list for clients wanting service dogs,” she said. The stories displayed at the ICAN booth were presented from so many perspectives, especially those of inmates who trained dogs and family or persons who have received a service dog. Additional information about their organization can be found at www.icandog.org. Besides Pet Appreciation Week, TSC also partnered with the 4-H Wabash Council, who sold Nelson’s Port-A-Pit chicken, chops, and Pit-tatoes in their parking lot. All sales from the fundraiser will be used to purchase new display units for the Wabash County 4-H Fair. TSC has always been a great supporter of the 4-H program.

Council member Katrina Shoemaker was in charge of the weekend’s event. “This is our fourth year doing this fundraiser at Tractor Supply Co.,” said Shoemaker. “We work with TSC to organize the fundraiser and have it the same day as the Craft Bazaar.” The fundraiser may not have included the familiar outdoor cooker and steam to alert passersby, but it did have a giant green inflatable and several volunteers standing on the curb with Nelson’s Port-A-Pit signs. As always, the trailer was packed with delicious food, and like any drivethru service, purchases were made and delivered right to the customers’ car windows.

Kid-O-Rama a Big Hit Downtown by Sandy Johnson Downtown at the Honeywell Center, the parking lot and plaza were filled with families during the annual Kid-O-Rama on Saturday, Sept. 20. This

year’s theme, “Chalk One Up for the Arts,” starred temporary street artist, David Zinn, from Ann Arbor, Michigan, who took the stage at 11:30 am. He demonstrated his talents by drawing on

a section of the plaza stage using sidewalk chalk and charcoal. Within two hours, Zinn created a most impressive piece of art featuring his mascot, Sluggo, and a flying pig.

KAYLA AND CIERA JENSEN of Fort Wayne stopped at the YMCA booth to do art activities with chalk and paint. (photo by Sandy Johnson) Zinn has been creating chalk art for over five years now. “I started doing it in my driveway,” said Zinn. “Then someone

suggested I take it a step further and draw in public, downtown.” After several downtown gigs, art festivals, other events in the Ann Arbor area, and showing his art online, a new venture evolved. In addition to local events in his hometown, Zinn has traveled to different cities drawing on sidewalks and talking to children about art. During his week in Wabash, Zinn also visited some local schools where he spoke with the students about drawing and creating chalk art on the school playground. Besides Zinn, there were many activities going on at the Kid-ORama. Children and adults created their own chalk art on the plaza. Many local businesses had booths with activities and trinkets for the kids. Free train rides were offered as

Vanlandingham:

MAYOR VANLANDINGHAM ANNOUNCES that he will not be seeking re-election in his office on Thursday, Sept. 18. A former principal, Vanlandingham took office in 2004. (photo by Eric Stearley) here that said it was time to do something different,” said Vanlandingham. “I had no clue that anywhere at any time I would be the mayor of

Wabash, but I was wrong there.” Most people would agree that Wabash is doing really well. The Stellar designation puts the city’s

Strategic Investment Plan in high gear, and after all the hard work, the dream is beginning to materialize. “Somebody asked

‘I’m not planning on running for a fourth term’...continued from front page me, ‘Wow, I can’t believe with you getting the Stellar and everything that you’re walking away from that,’” said Vanlandingham. “I think that maybe helped me make my decision, because when I got in here, it took me a good term to find out what’s going on. [The next mayor] can come in here and have nine great projects ready to go. I think I’m leaving things at a point to where someone else could come in and keep moving.” At 75, the mayor is in good health, and it’s obvious that he has a lot of energy, but he’s honest about the role his age plays in making this decision. As someone who has spent his life in Wabash, he wants to be sure to do what’s

best for the city. As was the case when he left W.C. Mills, he doesn’t know what he’ll do next. “Where are we going to go from here? Maybe fish more, maybe play a little golf, but you know, I don’t have a clue,” he said. Va n l a n d i n g h a m can’t get out the fishing poles just yet. With 15 months to go in his third term, he’s still got some time on the job, long enough to see that the first projects through Stellar get off to a good start. “I reminded my department heads and my staff that they

still have to put up with me,” he said. One thing he’s sure about is that walking away will allow him to spend more time with his wife, Susan, and the rest of his f a m i l y . Vanlandingham has three children, three grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. “I’ve really been stewing over this, and it’s been hard, because I really do enjoy doing this,” said

Vanlandingham, who says he won’t be able to just sit around and do nothing. “That means I’m going to have to find something else to do...whether it will be in a leadership role or not, I don’t know. Maybe it’s time for me to sit back and kind of be guided along instead of being in a decision-making role.” In November of 2015, Wabash resi(continued on page 7)

for a Cause have expanded this year. The money raised this year is being split between four charities: The LIFE Center, who was the sole recipient of the funds raised last year, Hoosiers Helping Heroes, CASA, and The Access Youth Center. The LIFE Center is an organization that provides services such as ultrasounds and parenting education to young mothers and mothers-to-be in Wabash County. They also distribute supplies like clothes, baby food, formula, etc. to clients with children, newborn through age five. If you would like to make a donation, supplies can be brought directly to their offices at 79 W Hill Street in Wabash. Monetary donations can be mailed, handdelivered, or made through their website a t www.wabashlife.com. Hoosiers Helping Heroes sends care packages to soldiers in active duty in “hot zones” around the world. To date, they have sent over 9,000 care packages. To find a donation drop-off zone or register your hero to receive care packages, visit their website at www.hoosiershelpingheroes.org.

CASA stands for Court-Appointed Special Advocates. Every year there are an average of 47 abused or neglected children in the Wabash County court system. These advocates give a voice to children who often lack representation. To receive more information on becoming a volunteer advocate, visit www.childadvocatesnetwork.org/bec omeavolunteer/. The Access Youth Center is a ministry

that provides mentoring, tutoring, and a snack program to local youths. They are located at 74 W. Canal Street in Wabash. As for the competition, there are no plans to stop here. A stage four cancer survivor, Henderson said that letting people know there is support

for them in their community is the most important part of the event. “My vision is to have this whole park circled with not-forprofit organizations,” said Henderson. “I think we need the community together and show them what we have to offer.”

Kick It for Children’s Cancer by Aaron Johnson

Karsyn Bratch, will one day be cancer free. Kick It is a national fundraising program that raises money for children’s cancer research by hosting kickball tournaments. As a national program, Kick It has raised $2,607,000 and Kick it with Karsyn is a part of this national program. The Kick It with Karsyn tourna-

On Saturday, Sept. 20, people gathered at Morrett Sports Complex in Wabash to participate in the Kick It with Karsyn kickball tournament. Bill and Linette Burchett developed the tournament to help raise money for pediatric cancer research in hopes that their daughter,

ment raised $4,775, all of which will be met by a matching donation from four-time NASCAR winner Jeff Gordon. Kick It is sponsored by the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation and all the proceeds raised in this event will go to the Children’s Oncology Group and the Jeff Gordon Pediatric Cancer Research Fund at

Riley Children’s Hospital. As the tournament was about to begin, Karsyn was called to make the ceremonial first kick. Karsyn, 11, was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age four that has hindered her with blindness. This may seem discouraging, but her stepfather, Bill Burchett, said that Karsyn acts like

every other 11-yearold child. “She goes to sporting events and she cheers,” Burchett (continued on page 8)

Peabody has new NIFS Wellness Center manager

CAMERON MISER

P e a b o d y R e t i r e m e n t Community recently announced their new NIFS Wellness Center Manager, Cameron Miser, BS, CSCS. Cameron grew up in Fort Wayne, where he attended Most Precious Blood Catholic School and Church and Bishop Luers High School. In his pursuit of higher education, he chose Manchester

University where he received his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science, including CSCS and TRX certifications. The “CSCS” certification, “Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist” and was awarded through NSCA, the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Cameron had been working full-time as

a personal trainer in Fort Wayne, working with clients as young as 11 years old to 76 years old with special needs and limitations. “I feel Cameron’s expertise will benefit Peabody residents greatly and deliver the results needed,” says Rod Craft, executive director of Peabody Retirement Community.

Wabash Middle School film project “#OurSelfie” accepted into film festival Word was received by Teresa Galley, manager of the H o n e y w e l l F o u n d a t i o n E d u c a t i o n a l Outreach Program, that the Wabash Middle School film project, completed earlier this year, has been accepted into the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival, set to take place between Oct. 24 and Nov. 2. “More than 1,000 student-made films were submitted for the competition, and only 15 films were selected in the “Child Produced/Ages 6 – 14” category. We are especially excited because this is the first time EOP brought a film project to the schools,” said Galley.

Under the guidance of sixth grade teachers Amy Degitz and Natalie Unger, twenty-seven Wabash Middle School students had the opportunity to work with G l a s s e y e Productions, a film production company based in Manchester, England. Working with filmmaker Danny Lomax, the students spent seven days immersed in the film production process from storyboarding to writing the final script, from auditioning for roles to learning the roles behind the camera. The end result is an “anti-bullying themed” short film that runs just under 9 minutes. The world premiere of “#OurSelfie” was held in the Honeywell

Center’s Ford Theatre at the end of the project, including a screening of the movie and a film festival-style Q&A session with the 6th and 7th grade team. The Chicago International Children’s Film Festival is the largest festival of films for children in North America, welcoming 25,000 Chicago-area children, adults, and educators each year, and featuring over 250 films from 40 countries. The Festival screens a wide range of projects, from liveaction and animated feature films to shorts, TV series, documentaries, and child-produced works. One of the most unique festivals in the country, the C h i c a g o

Vanlandingham...continued from page 5 dents will head to the polls and elect a successor. When that time comes, Vanlandingham will be watching closely. “I’ve never been one that’s hesitant to let people know how I feel. If I see the right person, I might get involved in a primary,” said Vanlandingham. “The biggest thing I would like to have is an individual who can step up and keep things going. They don’t have to do everything Bob’s way. A good person, a good leader – if that person steps up, then I’ll be honest, I don’t care if he’s a democrat or republican, I would probably support that person.” After Wabash was named a Stellar Community, Mayor Vanlandingham took

a vacation, during which he talked with his family and thought about the future. Had the Stellar announcement gone another way – if instead of a Stellar Community, Wabash was a small town regrouping for another shot at the designation – perhaps there would be a fourth term for Vanlandingham, but he doesn’t think so. “When I did this several years ago, I was going to do this for one term. I’ve done it for three, and I’ve enjoyed it for three, and I still enjoy it,” said Va n l a n d i n g h a m . “With our without Stellar, there was something within me telling me, ‘I think it’s time to go.’ I don’t know, but I don’t

think it would have changed my mind.” Vanlandingham’s time in office will likely be remembered as a turning point for the City of Wabash. He hopes to be remembered as someone who listened, thought things through, didn’t play politics, and brought people together. He’s always sure to attribute successes not to himself, but to the team he’s working with. “When you’re all working together as a team, that’s when you win,” said Vanlandingham. Whether it’s the product of all-star talent or a charismatic coach, it’s clear that Vanlandingham will leave behind a winning program.

International Children’s Film Festival showcases the best in culturally diverse, non-violent, value-affirming new cinema for children, and is one of the only Academy Award qualifying children’s film festivals in the world.

Manchester Main Street’s Eel River Arts Festival a success Manchester Main Street is extremely grateful for all the wonderful community support that helped make the second annual Eel River Arts Festival a huge success. The Sept. 13 event, showcasing North Manchester’s talented entertainers and amazing regional artists, would not have been possible without the partnership of the Town of North Manchester, North Manchester Garden Club, Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church and The

Firehouse. The Eel River Gardens, located at the intersection of Main and Market Streets in the heart of downtown, was beautifully transformed into a festive venue for creativity, imagination and fun. Set against the backdrop of North Manchester’s historic streetscape and overlooking the Eel River, what better way to highlight our beautiful town and scenic river? Saturday’s Art Fair featured the unique pottery, jewelry, paint-

ing, mixed media and photography of 26 area artists – Marilyn Aleman (Marilyn’s Clay Garden), Stacie A n d e r s o n (Brickhouse Baby), Kellie Brace (DorothyIlene Gallery), Jewelry by Matt Breunig, Vicki Carpenter (Vicki Lynn Jewelry), Donna Clevenger (Recycled Fun 4 U), Roxanne Coffelt (Shanghai Tai), Photography by Perry Collins, Angie DeLauter (Green Door Studio), Susan Delauter (Life Repurposed), Janet

Ecklebarger (Glean Design), Art by Alexandra Hall, Michael “Hap” Hapner (Cornbelt Cowboy), Wayne Harshberger (Stone Sculpture), Heavy Metal by Donna Henderson, Mary Hettmansperger (Gallery 64), Tara Hicks (Inimitable Design), Madeline Hoffman (Painting), Julie Manfredi Fine Arts, Rick Reiff (Reiffhaus Studios), Sally Rich (Jewels for Schools), Fine Art by Susan Ring, Jewelry (continued on page 9)

Childhood Cancer Challenge,” which works in a similar fashion to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge craze. Each participant pays seven dollars, fills a plate with whipped cream, and

throws it in his or her own face. After the challenge is complete, each participant can challenge another, who will have 48 hours to complete the challenge in response.

FRIENDS OF THE OLD LAFONTAINE CEMETERIES: Ancestors of the pioneers of Ashland/LaFontaine and concerned citizens of this area are in the early stages of organizing the restoration of the Old LaFontaine Cemetery, located on the south side of 1050 South, just west of LaFontaine. All of those buried in this cemetery are part of our history and should not be remembered by the deterioration we see at the cemetery today, most importantly the two 1812 Veterans and the 24 Civil War Veterans. Remember, if not for those resting in this place, you would not be here today.

Watch this column next spring for information regarding a Cemetery Restoration Workshop to be held at the cemetery in early summer of 2015. All types of volunteers are needed. Even if you cannot do physical work, talents in other areas could be utilized. Some fall cleaning of the cemetery and organization activities of this group will begin soon. We are asking our local residents organizations, youth groups, and historical and cultural societies to consider becoming part of this worthwhile project to show our support of our history. Requests for financial donations will not begin until early next summer, and those donations would go toward professional restoration services required for heavier and more difficult stones/monuments. We hope to have a nonprofit number so donations can be tax deductible. Come help us complete the work necessary to get “The Old LaFontaine Cemetery” listed in Indiana’s Cemetery and Burial Grounds

Richard Flora, 93 Member of Bachelor Creek Church of Christ Jan. 30, 1921 – Sept. 16, 2014

Richard “Dick” Harkness Flora, 93, went home to be with his Lord on Sept. 16, surrounded by his beloved wife of 73 years and all of their children. He was born in Wabash County on Jan. 30, 1921 to Richard Donaldson Flora and Edna Lou (Harkness) Flora. He was their only child. Dick grew up on a farm on “the prairie” near Richvalley, where his parents instilled in him honesty, integrity, and the value of hard work. He graduated from Somerset High School in 1939. Soon after high school, he moved to Indianapolis, where he met Martha Brown in November of 1940. It was only she who could capture his heart, and they were married on July 3, 1941. They moved to Wabash County four years later. He began a farm drainage business soon after, installing clay farm tile in hundreds of farm fields in the surrounding area. In 1970, he, along with his son and brother-in-law, started Hiz, Inc., a hardwood products manufacturing company in Wabash. He continued to work in the business until the early 90’s. His character, integrity, sense of humor, strong work ethic, and respect for others endeared him to those who knew him. His love for his Lord, love for his family, and great love and respect for his wife made Dick a tremendous role model for his children and grandchildren, and he likely influenced others to choose those life priorities. Dick always enjoyed fishing, hunting mushrooms, and spending time with his friends and his family. He also thoroughly enjoyed watching IU basketball. Being a man of strong faith, the Church became a major element of his life. He served as an elder at The Church of Christ at Treaty for many years and also taught an adult Sunday School class. Later, while living near Warsaw, he was a member of Warsaw Christian Church. Returning to Wabash, he has been a member at Bachelor Creek Church of Christ for the past several years Surviving are his wife, Martha, Peabody Retirement Center; his four children, Diana Minnick, Bloomington, Rick (Claudette) Flora, Fishers, Kathy Jackson, Frontenac, Kan, Pam (Tim) Roberts, Wabash; six grandchildren, Shelley (Minnick) Helton, Chad Camp, Jenny Whitney, Cory Roberts, Jason Flora, Derrick Flora; and 10 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, a grandson, Jamie Roberts, and a son-in-law, David Minnick. In support of medical education, Mr. Flora chose to donate his body to The Anatomical Education Program of the Indiana University School of Medicine, after which burial will be in Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. Please join his family in honoring and celebrating Dick Flora’s life. Visitation will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 4 at the Bachelor Creek Church of Christ, Wabash. A Celebration of Life service will follow, beginning at 12 p.m. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to Autism Involves Me, Box 866, Bentonville, AR 72712 and/or The Indiana Hemophilia Foundation, 5172 E 65th St., Suite 105, Indianapolis, IN 46220.

Indiana State Police unveil new electronic firearms application process Recently, the Indiana State Police unveiled a new electronic firearms application process that will be in effect beginning Oct. 1. The new process will remove the “paper” application and after Oct. 1, only electronic applications will be accepted. Firearms permits issued after Oct. 1 will also be hard plastic, as opposed to the paper permit currently issued. “The new electronic application is designed to streamline the application

process for both the applicant and law enforcement officials” said Assistant Chief of Staff Major Mike White, Communication and I n f o r m a t i o n Systems. “This system is designed to be user friendly and will make the process easier for all those involved.” Persons already holding a firearms permit or those obtaining a firearms permit after Oct. 1 will also be able to request a duplicate firearms license or request a change of

address via the electronic version. Firearms permits already issued and persons holding firearms permits will not be affected. Those persons will utilize the electronic version when their permit expires if they do not possess a lifetime permit. For further information regarding the firearms permit process go to the Indiana State Police website at www.in.gov and click on the link “ F i r e a r m s Licensing.”

BMV announces excise tax refund Governor Authorizes Independent Audit of BMV Processes Don Snemis, Commissioner of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced recently that the BMV has determined that some customers are entitled to excise tax refunds. The BMV will work with the Indiana Department of Revenue to issue those refunds. “The BMV has determined that some Hoosier’s vehicles were misclassified for excise tax purposes. As a result, those customers overpaid excise taxes when registering their vehicles. These misclassifications stretch back to 2004 when the BMV’s System

Tracking and Record Support (STARS) computer system was implemented on a limited basis,” said Snemis. The STARS system was fully implemented in 2006. Under Indiana law, vehicles are placed in a tax classification based on value. This value is determined by using the price of the vehicle and applying an adjustment factor based upon Consumer Price Index data related to increases in new automobile prices. This data is entered into the BMV’s STARS system in order to automatically calculate excise taxes when vehicles are registered. In some circumstances, the STARS system did not apply the adjustment

factor, which caused some vehicles to be misclassified. Snemis continued by saying “all previously misclassified vehicles will be reclassified using the proper data. Anyone who overpaid will be notified by mail and provided a pre-printed claim form, per Indiana law, to obtain a refund with interest. Hoosiers affected by this miscalculation can expect to receive a letter within about 30 days,” said Snemis. The BMV has issued about 60 million registrations and collected about $3.4 billion in excise taxes since 2006. While final data is not yet available, it is believed that about 180,000 individuals were affected by this miscalculation,

and the total refund is about $29 million plus interest. The BMV distributes excise taxes to county and local governments on a regular basis. To mitigate the impact to local governments, the state will cover the upfront cost of refunds to taxpayers and will recoup the overpayment by adjusting distributions to local governments over the next two years. Additionally, the state will cover all interest payments. Governor Mike Pence authorized BMV Commissioner Don Snemis to hire an independent consulting firm to audit the BMV’s processes, procedures and STARS system.

She was born Oct. 13, 1928, in Wabash, daughter of Garl and Alice (Speicher) Eppley. Valette attended Manchester College where she met her future husband, Dana Hartong. On Aug. 29, 1948, they married in Wabash, where they resided until moving to Roann, in 1955 and then to Sturgis, Mich. in 1969. As a pastor’s wife, she faithfully served alongside Dana for 44 years. At the tender age of ten, Valette began playing the piano in church. This would be her passion until she retired from playing at New Hope Community Church on her 85th birthday. She continued her music ministry by playing monthly at Thurston Woods Village, Sturgis and Fairview Nursing Home in Centreville, Mich. She also played at various senior citizen events. In the 1970s, Valette was a music teacher at Mendon Elementary as well as an accompanist for many choirs, ensembles, and solos. She gave piano lessons to numerous students. Valette was renowned for her hospitality to friends and neighbors as well as to many visiting missionaries. Her famous raised donuts, nobake cookies, and meatloaf were among the favorites she served to all. In 1982, Dana and Valette founded the ministry New Hope for Broken Ministries and co-authored a book by the same title, which continues to touch lives throughout the world. Valette continued actively counseling over the phone until her final days. Beginning with the first couple in 1979 until the 5,000th in 2014, Valette prayed monthly for every couple, which included requests from 49 states and over 30 countries. Surviving are her children: Sue (Herman) Behrends, Sturgis, Beth (David) Behrends, Three Rivers, Brad (Christine) Hartong, Centreville, and Jayne (Jim) Hover, San Antonio, Texas; 18 grandchildren, Chad (Rebecca) Behrends, Allissa (Tim) Bowers, Jonathan (Joy) Behrends, Leigh Anne Behrends, Jana (Sean) Guise, Jared Behrends, Megan (Joshua) Gremaux, Marianne Behrends, Joshua (Crystal) Behrends, Jesse Behrends, Joseph Behrends, Jason (Heather) Hartong, Adam (Veronica) Hartong, Cheryl (Eric) Byler, Joy Hartong, Joel (Jessica) Hartong, Aaron (Marie) Hartong, and Rebecca (Joel) Rouch; 41 greatgrandchildren; four sisters-in-law, Lois Chain, Nedra Workinger, Mary (Earl) Mansfield, and Ruth Ann Hartong.

Funeral services were held Sept. 16 at New Hope Community Church in Sturgis, with Pastors Tim Eash and Kevin Mitchell officiating.

unlawful to permit a projectile to be discharged from a weapon from outside the city limits to enter or pass through the city limits of Wabash. Under this ordinance, you cannot hunt along the Wabash River within the city limits.

Squires win thriller at North Miami

by Gary Andrews The Manchester football team pulled out another big road conference win Friday at North Miami, holding the Warriors out of the end zone on a two point conversion attempt with 52.4 left in the game that sealed a 34-33 thriller. The Squires started the game by going four and out, then giving up a North Miami touchdown in the first four minutes before they settled down to play their game. Manchester moved the ball very little on their next possession when they got a break they were looking for. North Miami would fumble

the Squire punt with Keelan Norwood recovering on the Warrior 23. Using their running game mixed with a couple short passes the Squires would even the score with 2:53 remaining on a Lucas Schilling keeper from 2 yards out. After the Squire defense held North Miami to start the second, the offense would keep rolling. Schilling would connect with Bailey Ness three times and Daniel Greise once before Jacob Casper scored from 2 yards out to give Manchester a 14-7 lead. North Miami would waste no time getting even when they struck from 57

yards out with 5:01 left to make it 14-14. The Squires would get two more possessions in the quarter and made the second one count when Schilling would find Evan Milam in the end zone as time expired for a 21-14 halftime lead. Just like a heavyweight-boxing match, the two teams would punch and counter punch. Just a minute and a half in to the third quarter North Miami got even, scoring from 47 yards out to tie the score at 21, but the Squires wouldn’t rattle. On the first possession after the Warrior score the Squires would throw the counter punch. A

Apaches fall late at Whitko by Gary Andrews The Wabash football team had Whitko on the ropes nearly the entire game Friday before a Wildcat touchdown interception late in the game would be the decider in a 30-24 loss to the Wildcats. Whitko would score first in the first quarter and with a two point conversion took an 8-0 lead. Owen Yeadon would draw the Apaches to within five points with a 36 yard field goal to make it 8-3 after one. The Wildcats would get the first score of the second

quarter to increase their lead to 16-3 before Chase Dirig connected with his brother Grant on an 84 yard pass play for a touchdown. The two-point conversion failed and the Apaches trailed 16-9 at the half. The Apaches would get the lone score of the third quarter when Dirig found Noah Cole on a 9 yard scoring strike. The Yeadon kick was good and Wabash and the score was tied at 16 with a quarter to go. Whitko would strike first in the fourth on a 9-yard

rush to go up 24-16, but the Apaches would respond. The Dirig brothers would hook up again on a 13-yard scoring strike and after a Trevor Vest reception for two the game was tied once more at 24. With the Wabash defense holding, the offense went to work inching down the field on a go ahead drive when the Wildcats picked off Dirig for an 83 yard interception for a touchdown that would be the final score of the game on a 30-24 Whitko win.

nine play scoring drive capped off by a Jacob Casper 23 yard run gave the Squires a 28-21 lead with a quarter to go. North Miami was mounting a drive when the third quarter ended and capped off the drive just 3 seconds in to the fourth quarter, but missed the extra point as the Squires clung to a 28-27 lead. After North Miami kicked the ball out of bounds on the kick off, the Squires made them rekick and had the ball on the 46. After two plays Casper would run 16yds to the 29 and Lucas Schilling would take it from there, dragging a defender who had a

zone, the Warriors had 80 yards to go to tie or take the lead. North Miami would mount an impressive drive that was 20 plays long to score with 52.4 left and

trailed the Squires 34-33. North Miami elected to go for two and the win instead of the tie with the Squires spoiling the conversion and sealing the 34-33 win.

Wagon Wheel Theatre presents Craig Morgan

The Wagon Wheel Theatre presents the chart topping country music artist Craig Morgan on Sept. 26. Craig Morgan will be headlining his first concert in Warsaw. Craig Morgan began his country music career in 2000 after spending 10 years in the United States Army as a member of the 101st airborne division, a sheriff ’s deputy, EMT, adventurer, TV host, motocross racer, outdoors man, farmer, and family man. With

over 17 hits on the Country Music Billboard Charts, Craig Morgan has become a household name in country music. Craig’s catalog includes working class anthems like “Redneck Yacht Club”, “International Harvester” and “MORE Trucks Than Cars”; real-life songs like “Tough” and “This Ole Boy”, “Wake Up Lovin’ You” and one that hits on pretty much every theme Craig brings to the

table—“Little Bit of Life”. Then there is “That’s What I Love About Sunday”, a sixweek chart topper whose love of American life in the biggest and smallest senses made it the most-played song in 2005. Director of Marketing and Fund Development, Rachel Mondragon says, “As a country music fan myself I am so excited to have Craig Morgan at the Wagon Wheel. Audience members are

never more than 10 rows from center stage and never more than 10 rows form the artist. The unique setting of the Wagon Wheel lets

you be up close to the artist and enjoy a concert in a way you never have before.” Country music fans won’t want to miss this

concert! Craig Morgan will be performing two shows, one at 7 p.m. and the second at 9:30 p.m. For more informa-

father-son duo traveled to Fort Wayne for a 3-day karate seminar. One year, the assistant head coach of the United States Martial Arts Karate team was as the seminar and 8-year-old Trystin caught her eye. “This is not a team where you just show up and say you want to be on the team. You get a formal invitation,” explained Tommy. After receiving his formal invitation, Trystin trained for a year with his father for his team tryout. Trystin officially made the team at the next 3-day seminar and Tommy was offered a tryout as well. After making the team together, Tommy and Trystin trained for two years for the AISA and their training paid off. Tommy received a silver medal in Kata, which is “a predetermined geographical pattern or we’re fighting people who are invisible,” explained Tommy. He received a gold medal in weapons, as did Trystin, and Tommy received a bronze medal in Jiu Jitsu. In two years, the Musics, because they are now medalists, have the right to return to the games and defend their medals, which they will begin training for after they enjoy a break during their off season. Training begins in January. Though only in the fifth grade, Trystin had wise words for other kids thinking about joining karate. “If you do join, and you think it’s hard, just keep going. It’s worth it,” said Trystin. “It pays off in the end,” added Tommy. “You’re never too old. I hear a lot of people who think they are too old. You’re never too old.”

Coaching workshop designed to strengthen buisness leadership skills

How do you help yourself, your company and your community, all at the same time? By participating in an all new, dynamic, hands-on, half-day positive coaching workshop offered by HR Ideas Unlimited. The workshop will take place at the REMC Building, located at 350 Wedcor Avenue in Wabash, on Wednesday, Oct. 1. In business, leaders have to be both coaches and managers. To lead effectively, we need to know when to wear which hat. Positive coaching can increase your managerial effectiveness by understanding how and when to direct, delegate, or develop. This Positive Coaching for Results workshop is specifically designed for people who supervise and manage others and want to master the wide variety of coaching tools and methods available. Positive Coaching for Results will be facilitated by area business professional, Alan Siepker, a local HR Manager, who will share his expertise in the field of management development and coaching. Do you know what to do when an employee doesn’t achieve the desired results or behaviors expected or when an employee’s performance or conduct negatively affects their job, productivity, or the work environment? The answer is, a leader must step in promptly to inform the employee that the situation must change or adverse consequences may result. There is a basic coaching model to assertively and positively coach individuals from whom a behavior change is expected. Positive Coaching for Positive Results can yield consistent, positive results and actions by designing and delivering an assertive and direct message, while maintaining a polite, respectful, and supportive approach with the individual

you are coaching. What approach can a leader take to give an employee feedback without damaging the working relationship? The keys to Positive Coaching are the consistent application of nine (9) action steps to improve performance and conduct. During this workshop, explore the use of IStatements and When I-Statements to identify the behavior to be corrected in a way that is non-accusatory. Learn how and when empathy can be used to demonstrate support or understanding. In addition, expand your effective application of positive and negative consequences to improve, change, or extinguish certain behaviors. Workshop exercises include how to explain the impact an employee’s behavior is having on others so that they can see the connection between the deficiency and outcome desired. Become skilled in recognizing the warning signs of employee anger and emotion and the process to anticipate and deescalate negative responses while maintaining dignity and respect for the indi-

HR Ideas Unlimited workshops, these hands-on seminars will encourage the sharing of best practices, experiences, and techniques, to improve coaching skills, increase job satisfaction, and to reduce stress. The cost is $50.00 per person and you may choose to attend either the morning session from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. or the afternoon session from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Working together in support of the community, HR Ideas Unlimited and sponsors Midwest Eye Consultants, Beacon Credit Union, Kelly Services, and Ford Meter Box, will donate a portion of the workshop proceeds to the Wabash County United Fund. “This is a great opportunity for business and community

vidual. Participants will learn the significance of mastering specific communication elements such as: describing, expressing, explaining, empathizing, stating, inviting, checking, and proper documentation. Discover proven methods to engage your employee and deliver corrective actions and feedback without offending or damaging your working relationship and how to convey support in ways which foster respect, cooperation, and appreciation. Bring your toughest, real-life example to this Positive Coaching for Positive Results workshop for discussion. If you really enjoy telling others what to do, this workshop is not for you.

THE PAPER 32 Manchester University has largest incoming class in three decades www.thepaperofwabash.com

M a n c h e s t e r University recently announced a record undergraduate enrollment increase in its first-year class and the largest incoming class in at least three decades. Preliminary figures released Tuesday, Sept. 2 show that there are 441 first-year students, 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), bolstered by a 30 percent increase in trans-

fers and new pharmacy enrollment. Manchester has added 73 students to its College of Pharmacy doctoral program, making its total more than 200. The school got nearly 600 applications for those 73 spots and had a wait list of 100 qualified students. “Over the past year, Manchester has gotten really clear about who we are and what we deliver. It’s clear that the University’s focus on affordable excellence is in high demand,” said Scott

Ochander, vice president of admissions and m a r k e t i n g . “Manchester is an accepting and supportive place that helps young people find themselves.” While there are a few new features on campus this year – a new sales major and competitive swimming program – he said the University and its growth are driven by its purpose to graduate persons of ability and conviction, and the transformational outcomes students receive

through their time at Manchester. Manchester offers a Triple Guarantee to students including guaranteed access to financial aid, guaranteed graduation in four years or less and guaranteed job or grad school placement within six months of graduation. “We are able to offer a guaranteed outcome like employment because we deliver,” Ochander said. Manchester’s 10-year average for employment/grad school placement is higher

than 95 percent. “Manchester is a safe place to be yourself, and we simply ask students to be their best selves,” said new MU President Dave McFadden. “We want them to get involved – learn who they want to be – and lead the ‘principled, productive and compassionate lives’ our mission statement espouses.” The community of support around students is a point of distinction for Manchester. “The Manchester communi-
