New White’s CEO settling in

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com When then—hite’s Residential Services CEO Dee Gibson announced in October 2016 that he was retiring, Ron Evans would often receive recruiting material trying to entice him to take the position.

Already the head of school at Traders Point Christian Academy in Indianapolis, the thought of a change

wasn’t too intriguing to him. He was comfortable where he was.

He deleted the recruiting materials he’d received from the White’s recruiter a few times.

However, after a couple persuasive phone calls from the recruiter, Evans decided to look into it.

“The more I looked at it the more I was compelled by the mission of White’s, but I wasn’t compelled that I was the one who needed to lead it,” Evans said initially.

“So I called a friend of mine who I had trained to be my successor in other ministries and suggested, ‘Maybe you should be the one to do this.’ He looked at it and said, ‘No, you should do it.’”

So, Evans filled out the paperwork and started the process. The rest is history.

“The more I went through the process of them selecting and me selecting, the more I felt it was just God’s calling in my life,” Evans said. “This wasn’t something where I was looking to make a career

change or job move. I really feel like it was directed by the Lord. The first time I came on campus and interviewed, it just became clear to me that this is what I was supposed to be doing.”

The White’s Board of Trustees is also certain it made the right move.

“We are so excited to have Ron, and his wife, Jane, officially join the White’s team,” said Kelly Stouffer, chairman of the White’s Board of Trustees. “It has

Gouveia wins State Festivals crown

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Alyson Gouveia was crowned the 2018 Indiana State Festivals Association queen during the annual ISFA pageant in Indianapolis.

Gouveia, representing the Wabash Garden Festival, was selected from a field of 25 contestants from around the State of Indiana.

First runner-up was Kiersten Brittingham, Sweet Corn Festival; second runner-up was Kara Skorge, Jasper Strassenfest; third runner-up was Brianna Andrews, Marshall County Blueberry Festival, and fourth runner-up was Skylar Tucker, Linton Freedom Festival.

The Directors Award was presented to Kara Parkes of the Mitchell Permission Festival, while the essay winner was Julie Jackson of Harvest

Homecoming.

Gouveia is the sixth Wabash County representative to have won the title since 1994.

Former winners were Mary Ann Cosby, 1994; Wendy Vanderpool, 1999; Christy Penner, 2007; Hannah Klare, 2012, and Kaytlyn Eberly, 2015.

“We have wonderful young ladies in this county,” said Chris Benson, a member of the pageant committee. “They have a lot of confidence in themselves, and when they get down to state, it shines through.”

A Southwood High School graduate, Gouveia is currently studying elementary education and teaching English as a second language at Ball State University with plans to graduate in 2018.

She was to begin the student teaching phase of her education on Monday.

Officials from Wabash City Schools and MSD of Wabash County believe their boards acted appropriately in conducting executive sessions to discuss a feasibility study with representatives from the Community Foundation of Wabash County.

The boards met with CF officials several times under the auspices of discussing school consolidation.

Public Access Counselor Luke Britt, in response to an informal inquiry made by The Paper of Wabash County, believes that discussing the Studies for Advancement was not justifiable under the consolidation portion of the Indiana Open Door Law. “I have reviewed the study and school consolidation is only a very small portion of the text, and only tangentially referenced,” he wrote. “It is much more a resource efficiency guide.”

However, MSD Superintendent Mike Keaffaber (continued on page 3)

January 10, 2018

New White’s CEO settling in been a pleasure for the trustees to work beside Ron and Dee throughout the transition period. Ron has an incredible heart for our mission and is dedicated to helping children and families and crisis.”

In his short time on campus, Evans is already taken aback by the incredible stories he hears of lives being touched and transformed because

of White’s.

Late last week he met with staff members, one of whom was a resident from the age of 10 before returning to join the staff. That staff member’s daughter also works on campus now.

Evans heard the campus pastor tell a story of a family that stopped him to tell him that 100 years ago, their grandmother was at White’s, and

because of her influence on their lives, they were now a pastor. They wanted to come see the place that had such a profound influence on their lives indirectly over the course of decades of more.

“There are just these stories that date back generations of lives touched here,” Evans said, “And, because of that, they’ve reinvested,

and now other lives are being touched.

Those are the things I’m finding out, those stories of redemption and reconciliation.

This is a place that has incredibly neat life stories. … The people who make up White’s from an employee perspective is a really incredibly neat group of people that have a heart for children.”

The Evans family lives on campus.

Growing up in the Midwest, mostly in Iowa, Evans says Wabash feels like home.

“I grew up in a community through junior-high, high school and college that was about the size of Wabash,” Evans said.

“It was a nice little rural community. I feel comfortable being here because of that.”

Evans says Wabash has some really neat surprises that he wasn’t bargaining for, like the Honeywell Center for example, as well as the Modoc’s Market.

...continued from the front page

White’s CEO Ron Evans tells a story to Denae Green Friday during an interview. Evans took over as CEO at the first of the year. Photo by Josh Sigler “Those are nice,” Evans said. “The first time I went down to Modoc’s I wasn’t even officially here yet.

Two people stopped me in the street and said, ‘Hey, you’re the new White’s CEO!’ It’s just that small town feel that we really have liked.”

Like most, Evans follows state news trends. He sees the stories of children sleeping in office buildings, victims of the opioid crisis as

their caretakers struggle with addition. He hopes White’s can lend a hand in any way possible.

“What we want to make sure we do is provide a place for healing and hope for them, whether that be through the foster system or through our residential program or something else God might have us do,” Evans said.

“There’s an incredible need. I don’t know what we can do to

grow, providing opportunities for children like that.

“But that’s what we want to do,” he continued. “The children are in these situations not because of anything they’ve ever done. They’ve been born into a situation beyond their control.

The people I’ve gotten to interact with so far have the ability to connect with them and give them hope in some pretty tough times of their lives.”

School officials respond to PAC and Wabash City S c h o o l s Superintendent Jason Callahan believe the executive sessions were allowable.

“Although school consolidation may be only ‘tangentially referenced’ in the study, the study was a perfectly acceptable topic for any discussion of school consolidation, even though its pri-

mary focus may not have been on school consolidation,” Keaffaber wrote in a letter to The Paper.

“As long as the study had any reasonable bearing on the issue of school consolidation, it was a proper topic of discussion for the board in executive session.

Callahan wrote that nowhere in Britt’s

opinion “does it state that Wabash City Schools was in violation of the Open Door Law.” “Mr. Britt states that the discussion of feasibility studies unrelated to consolidation would not be covered under Indiana Code 5-14-1.56.1(b)(2)(e); however, he makes this ‘informal opinion’ without

any consultation of Wabash City Schools,” Callahan continued.

“Without speaking to Wabash City Schools or the other districts, it is impossible for Mr. Britt to analyze the situation completely; thus, he clarifies that his letter is an ‘informal opinion.’”

Both Keaffaber and Callahan, in their letters, noted that three

public meetings on the study took place, and that the study was available at various points online.

“So it cannot be claimed that the (a) public was denied or impaired access to a meeting where the study was discussed by the board, or (b) the public’s knowledge or understanding of the study was impeded in

Ninja Express popular in first week

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com When the co-owners of Ninja Express restaurant were looking to open a new franchise, they knew they wanted to pick a place where their fare would be unique to locals.

They also wanted a prime location for maximum exposure to traffic.

Wabash seemed to provide prime opportunities in both facets.

“There’s not really a restaurant like this in the area, said coowner Ling Zhu. “And, the location in town is in perfect spot to be seen by customers.”

And, the restaurant has been a major hit locally in its early stages of operation.

Parking spots have been hard to come by at the location at 1010 Cass St. Lines for orders routinely wrap around the soda machine several feet away.

“We’re super excited,” Zhu said. “We never expected to be as constantly busy as we are.”

Friday, Jan. 12, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana will provide food for families in need at a distribution at the Living Well Winchester Center, 239 Bond St., Wabash.

Participants must enter the drivethrough line from the Hill Street entrance of the City Park. The distribution is while supplies last. Supplies for three families will be loaded in each vehi-

Callahan noted, “These open and well publicized meetings seem to eliminate any notion of impeding the public’s input into our public business.”

“Although Phase 1 was focused on individual studies, this study was intended to answer the question of whether we needed to continue a conversation that included consolidation,” Callahan

continued. “The use of the studies’ name ‘Studies for Advancement’ on the announcement was our attempt to provide greater transparency of the purpose of the consolidation conversation. Our executive sessions were focused on how these studies impacted our need to consider consolidation and what strategy we should employ to address consolidation.”

announced the planned construction of a new student-centered facili-

ty, beginning in May. The 36,000-squarefoot Lockie and Augustus Chinworth Center, named for MU alumnus Herb Chinworth’s parents, will be home to the College of Business, Student Financial Services and the Office of the Registrar, as well as a commuter lounge coffee bar and offices for study abroad, honors, student activities and other programs.

The $8.5 million center is anticipated to open in autumn 2019, and will be located just north of the Jo Young Switzer Center on East Street.

Funding for the facility primarily comes from a $5.1 million donation from Herb Chinworth, who attended MU from 19381940 and passed away in May 2017.

“We are forever grateful to alumnus Herb Chinworth, who gave Manchester more than $5 million to name the facility in honor of his parents, Augustus and Lockie Chinworth,” MU President Dave McFadden said in a press release.

An artist’s rendering of the Chinworth Center at Manchester University. Photo provided According to information provided by MU’s Office of S t r a t e g i c Communications, some of the programs that will call the Chinworth Center home currently reside in the Academic Center, built in 2012.

“The purpose of the Chinworth Center is twofold. It provides more academic space for classrooms and faculty offices, and it allows us to centralize a number of student services,” Anne Gregory, MU assistant director for media relations, said.

“We have already outgrown the Academic Center that was completed in 2012.

We’ve added some new programs, such as health communication and professional sales, and we are exploring more.”

According to the release, College of Business programs include accounting, professional sales, business management, sport management, finance, entrepreneurship and marketing, and serve 330 business majors and many nonbusiness major students pursuing business minors.

“The second-floor College of Business gives us more classrooms and faculty offices, freeing up space in the Academic Center,” Gregory said.

According to College of Business Dean Tim Ogden, the new facility will provided several benefits to the college, including centralizing classrooms and faculty and staff offices, providing additional classroom space and giving business students dedicated work spaces.

“In addition to more traditional classrooms, it will include a simulation room that will accommodate a variety of teaching/learning approaches, and the centerpiece will be a tiered, u-shaped case classroom designed to facilitate the use of the case-method of teaching and learning,” he said. “ It will also include a significant amount of work space for the students, including conference rooms where students can work on group projects and more informal, comfortable work areas where students can work individually or in groups.

All of the space is designed to foster interaction between faculty, staff, and students, which is

so critical to the learning experience at Manchester.”

Ogden added that the new facility will also include space for the Executive Cabinet of the College of Business Club.

“The Club provides significant co-curricular learning opportunities for the students, and providing this dedicated space highlights its importance,” he said.

Ogden noted that the college has 11 full-time faculty positions and two full-time staff positions.

The Chinworth Center will also centralize several university offices focused on student experiences.

“This new building also gives us an opportunity to cluster a number of student services together on the first floor to better serve our students,” Gregory said.

She noted that students must travel to several different buildings to access various student-centered offices: Student Financial Services and the Office of the Registrar are in the basement of the Administration Building, and the study abroad and honors programs are in the Otho Winger Memorial Hall, and others are spread throughout campus.

“The goal of the first-floor hub is to make those and other programs and services easy for students to find and use. A onestop shop, if you will,” Gregory said.

Additionally, the first floor will be home to a lounge for commuter students, and a coffee bar.

“Because most of our students live in residential halls and have a place they call home, we also wanted to offer a home base – the commuter lounge – to serve (continued on page 5)

students who live in area communities and drive to school,” Gregory said.

As of publication, no plans have been made for the spaces to be vacated by the programs moving into the Chinworth Center.

According to the press release, Chinworth donated the

funds in 2014 to MU’s “Students First!” campaign, which raised more than $100 million for student-centered projects.

According to the Office of Strategic Communications, Chinworth and his wife, Arlene, provided support to the university in a variety of ways.

A 2014 press release about Chinworth, a Warsaw native, noted that he began his college career at Manchester College, and transferred to Purdue University to finish a degree in chemical engineering.

He then worked for The Dow Chemical Co. in Michigan for several

years after serving in the military during World War II. The release noted that Chinworth contributed his successful transfer to Purdue to Manchester’s reputation, particularly in the sciences.

“They prepared me well,” he said in an interview for the 2014

Warrant, FireHouse to rock Honeywell Center

By The Paper staff Warrant and FireHouse, with special guest Downtread, will perform at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater on Saturday, Feb. 3.

The concert, sponsored by 96.3XKE and F r e d e r i c k ’ s Photography, is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Warrant first came into the national spotlight with its debut album “Dirty Rotten

Filthy Stinking Rich.”

This album produced radio and MTV chart toppers “Down Boys,” “Sometimes She Cries,” and the massive hit “Heaven” which reached No.1 in Rolling Stone and No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in a row.

The single “Heaven” attained Gold Record sales, and the album reached Platinum status in Canada as well, eventually selling more than three mil-

lion copies.

Warrant’s sophomore album “Cherry Pie” was released in September 1990. This album, which spawned the MTV and radio hits “Cherry Pie,” “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and “I Saw Red,” all reached the Top 10 in the United States and went on to sell three million copies, reaching Platinum sales in Canada and Australia.

Over the course of its career, Warrant has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide.

The song “Cherry Pie” has taken on a pop culture life of its own, being featured in countless movies, TV shows, commercials and the hugely popular video game Guitar Hero II. FireHouse reached stardom during the early 1990s with hit

singles like “Reach For The Sky,” “Don’t Treat Me Bad” and “All She Wrote,” as well as their signature power ballads “I Live My Life for You,” “Love of a Lifetime” and “When I Look Into Your Eyes.”

At the 1992 American Music Awards, FireHouse won the award for Favorite Heavy Metal/Hard Rock New Artist.

The band continued to release new material through the late 1990s and into the early 2000s, and continued to tour internationally as of 2007.

FireHouse is estimated to have sold more than seven million albums worldwide since their debut.

Formed in 2007, Downtread specializes in aggressive riffs, titanic drums and ferociously catchy songwriting. Riding high on lofty, classic rock vibes, the

NORTH MANCHESTER — The annual Manchester University Science Olympiad Invitational draws hundreds of middle and high school students.

At the Jan. 13 invitational, about 20 high school teams and nine middle school teams will bring about 400 students to the North Manchester campus.

Most teams are from Indiana communities and one is from northwest Ohio.

Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School is expected to have two middle school and two high school teams.

There will be more than 30 events and competitions, with activities that include forensic cases, chemistry labs with microbe missions, and constructing machines such as mousetrap vehicles and hovercrafts.

“Science Olympiad students are curious, driven, and enthusiastic about learning and creating new things from scratch. They’re exactly the kind of students that we want to see in our classes someday,” said Dr. Kathryn Davis, who teaches chemistry at the University.

“We’re proud to host this invitational for them, and we hope that they have a positive experience and a fun competition day.”

The Science Olympiad encourages students to learn in different ways. It also exposes them to Manchester’s closeknit community where faculty inspire students to develop their curiosity.

“I’ve helped out with

hosting the Manchester Science Olympiad Invitational since I came here in 2010,” Davis said.

“Many years, I also work with the Manchester JuniorSenior High teams after the invitational, helping them to prepare for the competition season.

“Some of those students later turned up in my classroom, which is really fun because they often ask, ‘When’s the invitational? How can I help out

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

January 10, 2018

VIEWPOINT Schools need to work together Mandate Dear Editor: On behalf of Wabash City Schools, I feel it is necessary to share a public statement regarding the “Studies for Advancement” to keep our community stakeholders informed on both the process and our philosophy behind the process.

I would like to commend the Community Foundation of Wabash County and all of its funders for having the courage to engage in this conversation. The foundation’s work in advancing the educational attainment of Wabash County is coveted by counties all across the state of Indiana. The Community Foundation was sought out by all three school superintendents in leading this study to avoid a perception of partiality. Four out of the five vendors selected to conduct this study were suggested collectively by all three county superintendents. Wabash County is fortunate to have the visionary leadership of our Community Foundation.

The first phase of this study focused on all three districts in Wabash County, studying demographics and workforce needs collectively and school finances, curriculum and buildings individually. While the first phase of the study did not focus on greater cooperation, consolidation or reorganization between the three districts, the intent of the second phase was to consider all of these concepts to advance the educational opportunities in Wabash County. The results of Phase I make it clear that we must consider all options.

As I have summarized in the past, the main finding of the study was that over the next 10 years, the overall county population and enrollment will show a 311 student decrease. Although this does not seem like a large number over three districts, it amounts to a little over $2 million in lost revenue which is a slow bleed to general funds that pay for salaries and benefits.

Current and future increases in student population, has been and will look to be largely in-county transfers. As money follows students, there will continue to be competition among the districts. In my opinion, here is the rub.

Our success will directly impact our neighbors negatively. The current system generates winners and losers in the same community.

Right now, Wabash City Schools is in a great financial place with our general fund. Because of our gains of nearly 150 students over the last two years, we have been able to compensate staff,

Letters to the Editor build a cash balance and even reinvest in our programming, building out PLTW, Spanish Language Immersion, Forest Kindergarten, and looking at other offerings that fit into our mission. Yet, we are doing this on the backs of our neighbors. I do not think our in-county competition will grow our community over the long term.

Growing at the detriment of our neighbors will not make our community stronger. We can be better together.

Instead of competing with each other, I think we should be working together to promote Wabash in the region. Ultimately, what we want is to recruit and retain families to Wabash County. I don’t believe that fighting locally over students will lead to a unified community and out of county growth, which is exactly what we will need for long term growth of Wabash and Wabash County.

So I am for continuing the conversation about how do we work together to successfully grow our community.

Phase II never guaranteed one direction over another. What Phase II would have provided was specific answers to what the greater Wabash community really wants from its schools; what consolidated tax rates look like; what building configurations could look like in a possible consolidated district; and what additional programs we should offer our students and community.

While I am for asking what we could do together, I am not for cutting our current programming or reducing our mission. Wabash City Schools is in the process of building out a dynamic PK16 organization that delivers greater outcomes for all students.

In recognizing the need to offer affordable preschool options, Wabash City Schools built out an innovative Forest Kindergarten and Forest Preschool program.

In coming months, we will be unveiling new preschool options for Wabash County parents.

Earlier this year, we became one of the few districts in the state of Indiana to offer a Dual Language Immersion

program that will ultimately lead to Wabash High School students graduating bilingual. When we grow our capacity, these same children will have the opportunity to pick up a third language by the time they graduate Wabash High School. We have implemented Project Lead The Way curriculum aimed at helping elementary students to explore and to develop their creativity through early engineering concepts.

Since 2015, Wabash High School has been one of 20 Early College High Schools in the state of Indiana. We have spent several years building out an early college system that will soon begin graduating students with one to two year degrees, beginning with the class of 2020. The Indiana Department of Education just recognized Wabash High School for their high percentage of high school students earning college credit in high school. We have rich partnerships with local universities to offer college campus experiences.

Wabash City Schools will look to continue to grow business and higher education partnerships so we can develop and retain our local talent. Just in the last few weeks, the Indiana Board of Education passed Graduation Pathways for all Indiana graduates beginning in 2023. This year, Wabash High School freshman (Class of 2021), are picking from multiple pathways—health science, computer science, engineering, professional certification, liberal arts, and Early College.

Our future steps in education should be made toward growing our opportunities and not toward reduction.

Wabash City Schools remains committed to not being the best school district in Wabash County, but we strive to be the best district in the state of Indiana. We are not waiting on anyone to drive this mission—we are doing it right now—but, we will look forward to the day we can do it together. – Jason Callahan, superintendent, Wabash City Schools

shows need for study

Dear Editor: I submit this letter to the community as a follow up to my previous letter in late December 2017, which was basically directed to the Metropolitan School Board. I have recently obtained information which I believe emphasizes even more the need for the study offered by the Community Foundation regarding the needs of our school systems.

Recently, the Indiana Board of Education voted to approve a mandate that students complete additional coursework, demonstrate employability skills through service and work skills, or show they are college ready by receiving high scores on exams of SAT and ACT. This action by the Indiana Board of Education emphasizes the need for a school system which can offer the most and best courses to our students. As I pointed out in my previous letter, the more efficient, academically beneficial, and financial feasible schools require a student population between 2,000 and 6,000 students.

Many employers support this mandate by the Board of Education since they find that students lack the skills for needed occupations and the work ethics to be beneficial to a business.

To emphasize this needed addition to the student’s educational requirements, the Columbus Indiana School Board established a program that ensures the students have the skills and traits employers are seeking. The name of this program is The Governor’s Work Ethic Certificate Program. This is a volunteer program to seniors in the school. There are 5 competencies students are required to meet: 1, demonstrating they can persevere through challenges and problem solving; 2, accept and demonstrate service to others; 3, possess a positive attitude and communicate clearly; 4, are a self-starter and critical thinker; 5, reliable and demonstrate responsibility by being organized, punctual, and show self-management. In addition there are 4 objectives in demonstrating academic readiness: 1, cumulative GPA of 2.0; 2, have an attendance rate of 98%; 3, one or fewer discipline referrals; 4, a minimum of 6 hrs. of community service. Those who achieve these criteria will receive a work ethic certificate signed by the governor and will have more scholarship opportunities, guaranteed job interviews, and possible tuition reimbursements.

The community and the Wabash County School Boards must do everything possible to give our students all of the educational advantages possible. One of these is to continue Phase 2 of the community foundation’s studies for advancement. — Larry Curless, Wabash

Mayes hired as HHS extension educator

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

In a brief meeting Monday, Jan. 8, the county commissioners were introduced to the Wabash County Purdue Extension Office’s newest educator.

Mindy Mayes comes to Wabash County from Grant County, where she served as health and human sciences educator for 3 1/2 years.

“I am an IU graduate – please don’t hold that against me. I have heard that this is more of a Purdue county,” Mayes said, garnering laughs from the board. “I’m really excited to be here... I look forward to continuing some of the things that Teresa did, as well as possibly expanding into new areas.

“I’m just really excited to be in Wabash County... and just to see what programs we can continue to do to help make an impact in this community.”

According to County Extension Director Angela Christopher, Mayes replaces longtime health and human sciences educator and former director Teresa Witkoske, who retired last May after 15 years at the office.

After the meeting, Mayes sat down with The Paper of Wabash County to discuss her background and plans for the county.

“I got my master in Public Health from IU. Prior to that, I went to Norfolk State University in Virginia, and I have a bachelor’s in public health and a minor in chemistry,” she said, noting that she graduated from IU in 2009.

After earning her master’s, Mayes worked for a couple years before returning to school full time.

She attended Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, earning a degree there in 2013.

“Then I started my position with the Grant County [Extension] office,” Mayes said. “I’d been there for three and a half years, and then transferred here.”

Mayes’s connection to 4-H and Purdue’s extension services began in her childhood.

“I grew up doing 4-

H; my entire family grew up doing 4-H,” she said. “I really liked my extension educator growing up, so I thought, ‘That’s a type of job that I could do.’ So, I got my degree in public health.

“It was a perfect job with the degree that I had, and I felt like I got to impact people’s lives like my extension educator impacted my life.”

She noted that the health and human sciences part of Extension is relatively new, and grew out of the former family and consumer sciences service the offices provided.

“We still do some consumer and family sciences type things,” she said “With Health and Human Sciences, we do programs with in

foods and nutrition, health and wellness, resource management and a little bit of community development.

“Health and Human Sciences provides education to people of all ages in Indiana’s 92 counties. The community is our classroom, where we help people spend smart, eat well, live right and strengthen families.”

She said that their programs have a wide range, and involve a variety of community organizations.

“One of the things that I know that I will hopefully like to do some work with, and find out who’s working with it, is the opioid issue, which I know is an issue everywhere,” Mayes said.

“Our job is more education, and figur-

ing out how I can help with that.”

Mayes also noted that her services – and those of the extension office – are not just limited to Wabash City.

“We serve all of Wabash County,” she said.

“Any residents or organizations in the county’s towns who are interested in Extension Office services are welcome to contact us.”

The commissioners also heard a jail report from Sheriff Bob Land, and were informed of upcoming board of health appointments.

Land said that there were 81 inmates in the Wabash County jail, with an additional 28 being held in Miami County and three in Blackford County.

County Auditor

Marcie Shepherd informed the commissioners that Dr. David Roe, Wabash County Health Officer, intended to stay on the board of health, but Dr. Dean Gifford planned to leave once his term is up. While no immediate action was needed, she said that the commissioners would need to find a Republican to appoint to the health board to replace Gifford.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “There is the past, present, and future. We live in the present, so it makes sense that the present is the most important of the three.

You

can’t build your future without doing the correct things in the present, the past acts as a reminder of how to make correct choices.

Thus, we have to live for today and try not to worry too much about or try to know what tomorrow brings.”

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “In life people come and go.

In sports, coaches and players come and go. One concept that many coaches and players forget is that ‘the sport’ is bigger than any coach or player. ‘The sport’ will always remain long after any coach or player has stopped coaching or playing.

This concept requires that while we are participating in a sport that we honor and RESPECT the game or sport. How does one do this? It is accomplished by ethically adhering to the rules of the sport.

The sport of tennis has rules to adhere

too, but also has codes of conduct to play by...life is very similar in this concept. It is this area that can be tricky for young players while competing to win; but is essential to their development as a true competitor.

As a coach, instructor, I ask students how they would handle a conflict while competing. I place them in a situation that is uncomfortable so they know the ethical way to deal with it.

So, respect ‘the game’, respect your opponent, and by doing so you respect yourself.”

EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

Parkview implements restrictions to counter flu season

By The Paper staff In response to increased flu activity, all Parkview Health hospitals and healthcare facilities have implemented the following restrictions to help protect patients, visitors and co-workers: Anyone coming into the healthcare facility seeking treatment who has cold or flu-like symptoms (such as fever, cough or muscle aches) should wear a mask while in public areas of the facility, including waiting rooms.

No visitors under the age of 18 and no visitors of any age with flu-like symptoms should be allowed to visit patients.

Visitors should be limited to two essential adults (at least 18 years of age) per patient – essential adults could include

designated family m e m b e r s , spouse/domestic partner or spiritual counselors.

Anyone who is not allergic to the flu vaccine should be vaccinated.

As of Dec. 29, 2017, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) reports there have been nine influenza-associated deaths in Indiana this flu season. The most common strain of the virus reported so far this season is a version of influenza A (H3N2) which has mutated and is not a good match with the vaccine. In the past, this strain has been linked to higher rates of hospitalization and death, especially for those at high risk for complications, which includes the very young, the elderly and those with chronic health conditions such as asthma or heart problems.

Visitors should call their local Parkview hospital or healthcare facility before arriving if they have any questions about the restrictions.

In addition to the temporary restrictions on visitors, Parkview Health recommends that all residents do the following to minimize flu transmission: Get vaccinated. All residents 6 months of age and older should be vaccinated against influenza, pneumonia (if recommended) and pertussis (if recommended) unless there are known allergies to these vaccines.

Despite the vaccine not being a good match with one of the circulating flu strains, health officials continue to advise residents to get vaccinated against the flu, as it offers protection against other circulating strains and is expect-

ed to reduce the severity of illness.

Stay home if you are sick. All residents experiencing fever and muscle aches should stay from school, work, shopping or other social gatherings until they have no fever for 24 hours without the benefit of fever reducing medications.

Wash your hands frequently. Use soap and warm water whenever possible; if not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to clean hands.

Cover your cough and sneeze with a tissue. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands.

Wear a mask if needed. Patients with cough or fever seeking treatment at a healthcare facility should ask for a mask to wear.

Watch these weekly articles for game information.

This year’s Wabash County Basketball Tourney had a little bit of a number of positive things. Other than the teams competing at a higher level, the highlight was an individual achievement by a classy youngster, more on that later.

This is the traditional halfway point of the season. Not every team had success, but every program did, in my eyes .... stay with me on this. Only one team from each gender went undefeated and won the title. But each program sparkled in one way or another.

The Northfield Boys, coached by Patrick Hopkins, are a program with youth, injuries and an unfortunate lack of depth. After being mauled by Southwood, they came back, played under control and although they lost to Manchester, they scored 27 points in 4th quarter, led by Joe Halderman and Kyle Reed, setting the tone for the rest of the season.

The Lady Norse, coached by Melissa Allen, methodically BILL BARROWS took down Southwood and then Wabash to win the Girls tourney title in impressive manner.

They are young and on a roll, led by the likes of Kelsie Thomson, Ariel Dale and Ali Keaffaber.

They also have depth at the JV level coming and that makes them dangerous.

The Lady Knights of Southwood grew up some under a young excitable coach in Chad West are learning to execute in his system. And along the way are showing some fire led by Erin Lerner and Mekenna Pace. Now they need to convert that into wins.

The Lady Squires of Manchester looked like they were learning under the guidance of Josh Troyer, who was subbing for Jacob Everett.

They gained some shot confidence during the tourney led by Sidney Day and Kennedy Fierstos.

Lessons were learned in two very tight games by the Manchester boys, lessons taught by an ultimate teacher and positive influence in Mark Underwood. He has a mixture of veterans in Mason Hamby and Kohle Fluke and underclassmen like Weston Hamby, which bodes well for the Squires.

The Lady Apaches of Wabash are still learning how to weather tough spots during games.

Bailey Yoakum, Kylie Stone and Abby Vinopal set the tone, but injuries have taken their toll on Matt Stone’s squad. An infusion of youth will pay off.

The Wabash boys have learned that execution is paramount in an up tempo offense. Paul Wright’s squad, paced by the likes of Logan Vander Veldon, Luke Mattern and Trenton Daughtry are much improved. Their depth, youth and resilience are paying off.

Southwood’s boys team is a culmination of years of dedication of playing from baseline to baseline in an up tempo combo of John Burrus’ offense and defense led by three seniors, Payton Trexler, Matthew Nose and Carson Blair. Trexler and Nose are approaching the 1,000-point goal for their careers.

Blair, who broke the school point record during the championship game held by his dad, may be the most unselfish scorer in this area since 1975 when Kyle Macy of Peru led the state in scoring and assists. Macy also won a national championship at the University of Kentucky.

Oh, and by the way, the Knights won the Wabash County Tourney for the second year in a row .... impressively.

Zay seeks pages for 2018 legislative session

By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS — State Sen. Andy Zay (R-Huntington) announced the Indiana Senate is still

accepting applications for the Senate Page Program.

This full-day interactive program gives students in grades six through 12 the opportunity to tour the

Indiana Statehouse, observe session debates on the Senate floor, and assist staff with age-appropriate tasks. Students will also meet with their state senator.

“The page program allows students to get an up-close look at their state legislature,” Zay said. “I encourage students in the community to consider paging at the

Senate, as it is a great way to learn about Indiana’s government.”

The 2018 Senate Page Program will run from midJanuary through

early March.

Positions fill quickly, so it is important to sign up early. Pages are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays during the legislative ses-

sion starting at 8:30 a.m. and dismissing at 3:30 p.m. Groups serve together on Wednesdays. Serving as a page is considered an excused absence from school.

Deadline nears for Conservation Poster Contest

By The Paper staff The deadline for the 2018 Conservation Poster Contest is approaching.

Posters must be submitted to the Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District office, 599 Bryan Ave., Wabash,

by Feb. 1.

Every Year the annual National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) and NACD Auxiliary Poster Contest provides students from

kindergarten through 12th grade the chance to have their art displayed as part of a national conservation outreach initiative. Each year, the winning posters reflect NACD’s annual Stewardship theme, and highlight the work of conservation districts and their state conservation associations, auxiliaries, and agencies to protect and enhance natural resources.

The contest starts at the district level; winners advance to

the state level, and then to the national level, where they receive recognition at NACD’s annual meeting.

Wabash County SWCD will be sponsoring the first conservation poster con-

test for Wabash County. The annual stewardship theme for 2018 will be “ Wa t e r s h e d s - O u r Water, Our Home.” It is open to public, private, and homeschooled students within the fourth and

fifth grade levels.

Please keep in mind this is the first year, and while the national contest covers all grade levels, the SWCD will begin by only judging fourth and fifth grade levels.

The top poster from each grade level within the county will receive, public recognition, a monetary prize alone with a class party, all sponsored by Wabash County SWCD. The two posters will then be displayed at the SWCD Annual Meeting, in March.

After that, the posters will be submitted to the state and potentially the national level. At the national level, top three posters in each category( K-1st Grade 2nd-3rd Grade 4th6th Grade 7th-9th Grade 10th-12th Grade) will receive monetary prizes and recognition at the NACD annual meeting.

Any media may be used, paint, crayon, colored pencil, charcoal, and so forth.

The poster size MUST be 14” x 22” (half a poster). For

more contest rules, forms and other resources, visit: h t t p : / / w w w. n a c d net.org/generalresources/stewardship-and-educationmaterials/contests or call 260-563-7486 ext. 3 with any questions.

All poster entries must be submitted by Feb. 1 at the Wabash County Soil & Water Conservation District office. It can be dropped off in person, or mailed to 599 Bryan Avenue Wabash, IN 46992.

Posters must have the entry form attached to the back.
