City, WRT enter agreement

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Members of the Wabash River Trail, Inc. entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Wabash regarding the construction of trail ways in the city at the Thursday, June 7 meeting at City Hall.

According to the Memorandum of Understanding, this part of the trail and a maintenance road will be constructed in Paradise Spring Historical Park on

the north side of the Wabash River.

Wabash River Trail may amend or modify its designs and plans as needed, with the approval of the city, according to the memorandum.

The memorandum also states the trail organization is responsible, financially or otherwise, for all aspects of the design, development, construction and maintenance of the trail “WRT acknowledge that no obligation exists for City to provide financial or inkind support to the WRT or toward the

development, construction or maintenance of the trail,” the memorandum states.

The portions of the trail in Paradise Spring Historical will be available to the general public, free of charge, for the purposes of recreational use, including walking, hiking, and biking. But, the memorandum states that the use of motorized vehicles on the trail will be prohibited.

The trail organization may have to plant or remove trees or bushes, or man-

WRD plans Wabash River clean-up July 28 (continued on page 4)

By The Paper staff

On Saturday, July 28, 2018, the Wabash River Defenders (WRD) will host its annual Clean Out the Banks event.

Participants should gather at Paradise Spring Historic Park, 351 E. Market St., at 7 a.m. for coffee and donuts with instructions starting at 7:30. After the clean-up event, the day winds down with a lunch provided by Knights of Columbus. Cleanup will occur rain or shine, with the exception of lightning.

River and land “teams” carry out the event’s goal of cleaning our local Wabash River (and tributaries) and its banks. A “team” consists of two to 20 people with a boat(s) and/or truck. When signing up, individuals should declare their “team” members or indicate river or land “team” preference, to which they will be assigned accordingly.

The river “teams” focus on gathering the debris via kayaks, canoes and Jon boats or walking in the water. The depth of the water

ROANN – Crews from Dore & Associates Contracting, Bay City, Mich., began demolition work on the old Roann School building on Wednesday morning, June 6.

Work actually began on Tuesday, when crews began removing blocks from the two entrances on the building’s east side which are to be preserved for a future memorial to the school. However, actual demolition work was to begin sometime Wednesday morning.

Work is expected to take five weeks, according to Dan Dore, who is overseeing the project.

Roann Clerk-Treasurer Bob Ferguson and Wabash County Commissioner Barry Eppley were both on hand Wednesday morning to watch work begin. The building is owned by the town and the county.

“It’s bittersweet,” Eppley said. “It’s sad to see a building that’s played such a role in the community’s life for generations (be demolished). But it’s become a safety hazard and it’s quite an accomplishment to actually see it come down and have the space become something else for the community.

Ferguson said he and Eppley have been working on the project for about seven years.

“We’ve not only talked with each other, but we’ve also had meetings with Bill Konyha when he was at OCRA. At that time, it just seemed like it was years and years and years away because there wasn’t anything cohesive about having the building.

“We didn’t really see a whole lot until Wabash County and Roann partnered together to get the job done. I see it as a collaboration between the county and the town. It wouldn’t have happened without that collaboration.

“So, you see three facets. You see the state, because OCRA’s involved; you see the county, because Wabash County’s involved; and you see a town, because Roann’s involved.

That’s just Hoosier pride to me. That’s the way Hoosiers are;

age the vegetation as necessary as “reasonably related to the operation or public enjoyment of the trail.”

There are also stipulations in the memorandum which state that the city still holds a main objective to maintain the “character and condition” of Paradise Spring Historical Park.

“WRT will develop and construct the trail in a manner that will cause minimum disruption to City’s current use of Paradise Spring of Maintenance Road,

Part of the entrance, along with bricks from the building, will be used to create a memorial to the site, which is in the process of being demolished. Demolition work is expected to be finished in five weeks. Photo by Joseph Slacian we always work together. We all banded together to get this job done and help out the community.”

The site will eventually become a green space.

Flag Day ceremony planned

MCS board OKs renovation plan

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER -Squire Fieldhouse and its related safety renovation components are one step closer to becoming reality.

The Manchester Community Schools board of school trustees voted 4-2 to approve the $16 million project, which is estimated to cost around $26 million after interest.

Ruth Ayres, Brice Bedke, Steve Flack and Nathan Trump voted in favor of the project; Brian Schilling and Tim McLaughlin voted against moving forward at this time.

Sally Krouse was absent.

With the board's vote, community members opposed to the project have 30 days to gather a petition of at least 500 signatures to bring the project to a referendum.

In a three-hour public hearing Tuesday, June 5, the board heard comments for and against the field house from several community members before voting.

Connecting everyone who spoke – community members, MCS staff and board members – was approval of the $1.15 million safety renovations to M a n c h e s t e r E l e m e n t a r y, Intermediate and Jr.Sr. High schools, as well as a $400,000 new roof for M a n c h e s t e r

Administration Office.

The point of contention for the community and the board was the 87,000square-foot, $15 million Squire Fieldhouse, which proponents claim will attract visitors and residents to North Manchester in addition to further securing students by connecting MJSHS and MAO. Opponents of the project often expressed support for the idea, but not the cost.

The project, still in its conceptual phase, will be funded through a property tax increase of 21.52 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, bringing the school's rate up to 97.38 cents from its current 75.86 cents.

According to financial advisor Umbaugh and Associates, that amounts to an increase of $70.48 per year after deductions for the average homeowner in the school corporation.

Ag ricultural landowners and commercial property owners will face a larger increase: taxes on agricultural land are projected to increase $3.46 per acre annually, while commercial properties may face an increase of $215.20 annually on a property valued at $100,000.

After allowing an extra round of public comment during the hearing, board

members went back and forth on the costs and benefits of the fieldhouse. One option, favored by community members present, was to split the projects: the board would issue bonds for the $1.15 million safety renovations, which would include adding an advanced manufacturing lab to MJSHS, and then would put the fieldhouse project to referendum and allow the community to make the final decision.

For Ayres, the decision was a difficult one, but one that was the board's responsibility.

“The way that I see it is this: the school is run by a board of trustees, and we were voted in to make a decision,” she said. “There is a beautiful project that we all love the idea of. When we look at the tax rate … it is still a reasonable tax rate. … The reason why I hear splitting it apart is because we want community input, and there's that check already in place.

“If we vote to go, there's already a check in place for the community to say, 'We want to vote, we want a bigger vote.'”

She continued, “To me, this is a bold move that a board of trustees makes, and going forward, in no way to me, is a symbol or a statement that we do not care about safety … we cannot depend on

buildings and building projects for safety. … To me, as a board of trustees, that's what we're charged with.”

Board member Nathan Trump cast the deciding vote after brief deliberation.

“If we vote yes tonight, the public still has an opportunity to vote it down and get what they want … if they want to vote it down?” he asked. “I have heard so many different things from so many different people, and I understand all of their sides, and it makes it challenging for me to not have the community not have the ability to say no.”

“If you're telling me they have that,” he continued, “if I vote yes, I can carry a referendum and make sure it's on there so the community can decide. We can vote after that, if it gets turned down, we can save our security piece, we can do all that without the timing being affected?”

Timing, Trump said, was his biggest concern regarding the security renovations. The board was informed that, were it to allow the project to go to referendum, it likely would not go to vote until May 2019, leaving the entire project on hold for nearly two years as it moved from the referendum to design to construction.

In the end, Trump voted in favor of

moving forward in order to allow the public to voice their opinion while not delaying any longer than necessary what many have deemed necessary safety improvements.

Should the community gather enough signatures in time to place the project on this November's ballot, and should the voters living in the

school corporation vote against it, the board can almost immediately split the safety improvements from the fieldhouse and begin the process to issue bonds, allowing construction to be completed in the same timeframe (by the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year) as if the com-

munity voted yes.

Should fewer than 500

signatures

be

turned in, the project will continue.

O.J. Neighbors receives DLI grant from state

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com O.J. Neighbours Elementary School was chosen as one of 10 schools in Indiana to receive an Indiana Dual Language Immersion Pilot Program grant, it was announced Wednesday, May 30.

“Presenting students with opportunities to learn multiple languages and about diverse cultures prepares them for the 21st century in which we live,” said Dr. Jennifer McCormick, Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction.

“I am thankful for the awarded schools who are providing Indiana students with this opportunity.”

The Dual L a n g u a g e Immersion Program provides grants to school corporations that establish or expand dual language immersion programs in Mandarin, Spanish, French or other languages approved by the Indiana Department of Education.

In its fourth year, the DLI program distributes financial assistance to school corporations or charter schools for either the establishment of new DLI programs or the introduction of new languages in existing DLI programs.

Those programs must begin in either kindergarten or first grade and use an instructional model

that provides at least 50 percent of its instruction in a target language and the remaining percentage of instructional time in English, the DOE explained in a press release.

Wabash won the grant for the second year in a row. O.J. Neighbors Principal Danielle Miller was elated to receive the news of the grant award.

“We are extremely excited,” Miller said.

“We did receive it last year. And, then to know that with the growth of dual immersion in Indiana with more schools applying for the grant, that we were one of 10 selected in this year’s round is just phenomenal.”

The grant award is for a total of $49,290.

Miller explained that that money will go towards a number of dual immersion related activities and materials.

Some of the money is going for professional development.

O.J. Neighbors has contracted for a second year in a row with Dr. Vesna Dimitrieska from the Center for P-16 Research and Collaboration through Indiana U n i v e r s i t y Bloomington.

“She’s provides professional development, but she also spends time in those classrooms, observing and giving us feedback so that we can help develop the curriculum instruction in the classroom,” Miller said.

“Part of that partnership with IU is these teachers in the dual immersion program will actually attend training at IU with a lot of different national speakers.”

O.J. Neighbors will also undergo training sessions with the DOE. In addition, dual immersion staff members will not be afforded the opportunity to attend a national conference on biliteracy. The staff will also be travelling to Utah, a state which is one of the early pioneers of the dual language program.

“Utah as a state has been doing dual immersion for many years,” Miller said.

“They have a lot of longitudinal research to back up the benefit. We’re actually going to be able to go visit their department of education and talk to their dual language program staff. We’re really excited about that.”

The grant will also allow O.J. Neighbors to purchase materials such as Spanishleveled reading sets, and authentic Spanish literature to use in the classroom.

“This is a new program – we’re in our second year and we don’t have those resources,” Miller said. “So, we’re getting the support to build the program.

But, then we’re also getting the support to provide materials for the students in the program, as well.”

Town Council approves smoking ban

NORTH MANCHESTER – The town’s Manchester's Main

Street may soon be smoke-free.

The NORTH MANCHESTER Town Council passed on first reading an ordi-

nance prohibiting smoking on all public property, in all businesses or within 15 feet of a door or window of a location

where smoking is banned, at the June 6 meeting. This would effectively ban smoking on Main Street, except within private residences and desig-

B Walter found compliant with statement of benefits

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash City Council unanimously approved a statement of benefits update for B Walter & Company.

Owner Scott Buehrer and Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County were on hand to discuss the matter with the Council.

Buehrer and B Walter received a 10year tax abatement for both personal property and real property in 2016 for investments and improvements he planned to make at the facility. By statute, he is required to give the

Council an update annually.

“I came here 17 months ago when I acquired B Walter,” Buehrer told Council.

“I kept everybody. Our employment at the time was 25 employees and a couple of temps.

We’re right around 35 employees and no temps. I prefer to have full-time employees in the business. I think we build a better company that way.”

He also discussed improvements made to the facility.

“We made some improvements to our building and grounds,” Buehrer continued.

“We did stonework. We try to use local vendors for almost everything

Indiana Ag photo contest seeks entries

By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Department of Agriculture is now accepting submissions for the 11th annual I n d i a n a Agriculture photo contest, which showcases the hard work and contributions made by Hoosier farmers. The contest is open to the general public, and the winners will be honored during a special ceremony at the Indiana State Fair.

Contestants are able to submit up to five photos in digital format (horizontal or vertical), and each photo must be accompanied by an entry form. All photos must be taken in the state by Indiana residents. Entries must be submitted no later than June 30, 2018.

Participants are encouraged to submit photos reflecting the wide array of agriculture. The categories photos can be entered under are: On the Farm: Showcasing any

building, piece of equipment or activity that is a part of life on an Indiana farm.

Faces of Agriculture: Featuring those who grow and produce food, fuel and fiber in Indiana.

Agritourism: Spotlig hting Indiana’s seasonal and agricultural destinations, such as orchards, wineries and farmers markets.

Conservation: Highli ghting Indiana’s natural beauty with landscapes, water and wildlife.

Contest winners will have their photographs featured in the Offices of the Lt. Governor’s Family of Business in Indianapolis. Winners will also be special guests during the Celebration of Agriculture on Thursday, Aug. 16, 2018, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Normandy Barn at the Indiana State Fair.

we do. We did siding on the front of the building, local vendor. We used a local vendor to put over 100 tons of rock around our drive path, widening the drive path for the truckers.

“We also moved our scrap steel supplier from Fort Wayne to here in Wabash with Metal Source.”

Buehrer also said new equipment has been purchased for the loading department, the stamping department and the tool room.

“My main focus has been on the manufacturing operations to make manufacturing very robust so that we can expand our business without any of our current customers being disrupted,” he continued.

But there has been one obstacle the company has had to contend with, Buehrer said.

“The largest (issue) to growing B Walter has been the steel tariffs,” he said. “Since I arrived here, the cost of hot rolled steel has gone up 80 percent coming out of the mill.

That was in anticipation of the steel tariffs.

I have no idea how high the price of steel is going to go.

“I’ve been around the steel market for 40 years. This cycle usually runs a couple years. … I’m scaling back my investments and my philanthropy in the community, because the business relies on the ‘Bank of Scott.’ You can’t expect customers to pay for the kind of price increases that are required when steel prices do something like this.

“But I’m in it for the long haul. In fact, I suspect that in three years it will collapse and set an all-time low. But that has disrupted some of our philanthropy and investments in the community this year, as well as buying equipment. But we’ll get through this.

Business is strong.”

In another matter, Council unanimously approved a five-year residential tax abatement for Kim Oanh Vu, Jimmy Nguyen and Nha Ngoc Tran to build a new house at 19 Garden Drive.

nated smoking areas at local businesses.

With council member Laura Rager absent, the council voted 4-0 in favor of the ordinance.

Per the council's bylaws, the ordinance must undergo two additional readings before becoming effective.

“I think that this ordinance is a reasonable ordinance,” council member Jim Smith said. “It does enhance the state law, as far as banning smoking and tobacco-related things in public places, but it's time to do that. All the evidence is there to say that it's an important thing to do. … I think it's the right thing to do.”

The Indiana Smoke Free Air Law, established in 2012, bans smoking within eight feet of a public entrance, within most places of employment, most public spaces and restaurants.

It permits smoking within bars, taverns, tobacco retail shops, and certain membership clubs.

As written, the town ordinance bans smoking in all of those

Chalmer “Toby” Tobias noted appreciation for the collaboration on the ordinance between the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition, the council and local businesses.

“I think it was done all in a spirit of goodwill and understanding, so I was very happy to see that,” he said.

The coalition is also working with the City of Wabash to establish a similar ban there.

Council members Tom Dale and Allen Miracle also expressed support of the ordinance.

“I think the response that we received was, for the most part, very positive,” Dale said.

“We are enhancing the amount of room in front of businesses, … and we are also looking at FunFest, where we have a lot of kids around, being smoke-free. I think that is a very positive thing for the town.”

Miracle thanked Dan Gray, of Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition, for approaching the town regarding the ordinance.

City, WRT enter agreement as well as in a manner that will cause minimum disruption, alteration, or interference with the current condition of the surrounding area,” the memorandum states.

Also at Thursday’s meeting, discussions

and hearings were held on three properties that have been deemed to contain unsafe buildings.

A continuation of a hearing was held on 173 N. Huntington St., property owned by Luke and Wanda

Young.

The family has worked to clean around the outside of the house, they said, and hope to soon start work on the porch.

B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens asked the

family to continue to work to clean up the property. He also asked for the family to return in a couple weeks and provide the city with a clean-up schedule.

An unsafe building hearing was also continued on the property

at 131 E. Maple St. Cheryl Mettler told the board that family is going to attempt to sell the property.

The board gave the family until the meeting on July 19 to update the city on the status of the property.

WRD plans river clean-up is typically from the 6-24 inches, controlled through the release of water at the Huntington Dam and Salamonie Dam by the Army Corp of Engineers. All river participants should be over 13 years of age; however, a parent or guardian must accompany those under the age of 18.

is no age limit for land team members.

Both teams are encouraged to bring sun protection, good shoes that will prevent sharp objects from hurting feet, shovel or trowel, gloves, water or beverage, and snacks.

WRD will provide PFDs or canoes/Jon boats on an “as available” basis.

Volunteers (no “team” required) are also needed to unload and sort debris at Paradise Spring.

Those who can’t

those in a boat have a personal flotation device (PFD, i.e. life jacket). WRD requires those walking in the river to wear a PFD or be able to swim. A “team truck” to transport the gathered waste is helpful but not required. Land workers gather and transport trash in their “team truck” from the banks to Paradise Spring Historic Park. There

attend July 28 can still contribute. Those who would like to participate prior to the cleanup may do so by helping recruit individuals and teams and attend pre-event meetings.

Those wishing to be part of the planning should contact WRD with their name and e-mail contact information via Wabash River Defenders Facebook page.

the Banks event.

Since then, with the exception of 2015 when water levels were too high, as many as 400 volunteers have joined together every year.

These river-minded volunteers have removed over 126 tons of debris, including almost 5,000 tires from the river.

In addition to tires, volunteers have pulled televisions, computers, bicycles, guns, household furniture, an automobile, farm equipment,

and even the front of a school bus from our local river. Seventyfive percent of the total weight of this debris has been recycled through a relationship with the Wabash County Solid Waste District and various other partners. Leaders from an Indiana river commission call the annual event “the largest volunteer river cleanup in Indiana.”

According to perennial volunteer, Rollin McCoart, “This is a terrific event. The

river is definitely benefitting from everyone’s efforts. We are making a difference.”

Duke awards grant to Grow Wabash County

By The Paper staff PLAINFIELD – Duke Energy has awarded a grant of $5,000 to the Grow Wabash County economic development organization as part of the company’s 2018 Marketing Partnership Program.

“The Marketing Partnership Program is designed to help our Duke Energy-served communities implement strategic marketing plans that can showcase the community’s assets and support continued economic development growth and prosperity,” said Erin Schneider, director of economic development for Duke Energy Indiana.

“Working together as a team, we improve the chances of success for our communities.”

Grow Wabash County received the grant through a competitive application process. It was based on the group’s economic development activity, innovative approach and the overall benefits and sustainability of the initiative.

unimproved alleyway in Servia at a Monday, June 4, public hearing.

Landowner Walt Dingess told the commissioners that he and his father have maintained the space allocated for the alley, located on the south edge of his property on South Second Street, since 1975.

“We've probably kept around 75-80 percent of the area I want vacated mowed,” Dingess said. “I guess, all the years that I've done it, I just assumed it was ours. I didn't realize that there's supposed to be a road

or an alley that went through.”

Commissioner Scott Givens noted that the 66-foot alley will be split equally between Dingess and the owner of the property south of the alley, Ted Eubank.

“I'm hoping to talk to Mr. Eubank,” Dingess said, “... I'm going to see if Ted Eubank would be willing to sell his last lot to me. … In that case, I would own it all, if we get it all vacated.”

Eubank's lot is unimproved, and both lots sit on the western border of the town.

“It's obviously an unimproved section of town that doesn't need to be maintained, which it's not being maintained except by you,” Givens said to Dingess.

With no complaints – or other comment – the commissioners voted unanimously to approve General Ordinance No. 2018-854 to vacate the alley.

The board then suspended the rules and voted 3-0 to approve the ordinance on second and final reading.

NORTH MANCHESTER — Now in its 10th season, Hawkins Family Farm is gearing up for another great summer of brick oven pizza and family fun.

Fridays on the Farm — also known as Pizza Fridays – offers all-natural, locally-sourced artisan pizzas baked in an outdoor, woodfired brick oven.

Diners from all over the tri-state area have traveled to take part in this unique dining experience.

“We are thrilled to

be celebrating 10 years of Fridays on the Farm!” said farm owner and HOPE CSA Executive Director Jeff Hawkins.

In addition to brick oven pizza, the Fridays on the Farm kickoff event on June 8 will feature Junk Ditch Brewery Company beer available for purchase.

Diners will have the opportunity to tour the farm with the owners and learn about CSA shareholding opportunities. Guest chefs Lindsay and John Cheesebrew of Bird and Cleaver will be

crafting specialty pizzas featuring seasonal ingredients in addition to the standard pizza menu that includes the traditional margherita, Hawkins Farm sausage and Hawkins Farm pepperoni.

Fridays on the Farm is sponsored

by Visit Wabash County, Silveus Insurance, Light Rail Cafe & Roaster, Don & Becky Fry, and Steve & Erin Jungbauer in memory of David Grandstaff and honor of Jane Grandstaff.

Pizzas can be car-

ried out or enjoyed picnic-style on the farm. Standard pizzas range from $1020, payable by cash, check or credit card.

Diners are encouraged to bring blankets, table service, and beverages, as there are no napkins, utensils, tables, or trash cans available on the farm. Diners are also responsible for removing all trash from the property once they are f i n i s h e d .

Reservations and pre-orders are not accepted; orders are taken on a first come/first served basis.

All profits from Fridays on the Farm benefit HOPE CSA, a non-profit ecumenical teaching ministry that offers a course of experiential learning and academic study to assist pastors to become healthier and more effective leaders.

Fridays on the Farm runs all summer long from June 8 through Sept. 14. To learn more about Fridays on the Farm, visit www.hawkinsfamilyfar m.com.

Town Council approves smoking ban

By David Fenker david@nmnews.com NORTH MANCHESTER – The town’s Manchester's Main Street may soon be smoke-free.

The NORTH MANCHESTER Town Council passed on first reading an ordinance prohibiting smoking on all public property, in all businesses or within 15 feet of a door or window of a location where smoking is banned, at the June 6 meeting. This would effectively ban smoking on Main Street, except within private residences and designated smoking areas at local businesses.

With council member Laura Rager absent, the council voted 4-0 in favor of the ordinance.

Per the council's bylaws, the ordinance must undergo two additional readings before becoming effective.

“I think that this ordinance is a reasonable ordinance,” council member Jim Smith said. “It does enhance the state law, as far as banning smoking and tobaccorelated things in pub-

lic places, but it's time to do that. All the evidence is there to say that it's an important thing to do. … I think it's the right thing to do.”

The Indiana Smoke Free Air Law, established in 2012, bans smoking within eight feet of a public entrance, within most places of employment, most public spaces and restaurants.

It permits smoking within bars, taverns, tobacco retail shops, and certain membership clubs.

As written, the town ordinance bans smoking in all of those locations permitted by the state law, as well as in enclosed public spaces, including libraries, museums, retail stores, bars, healthcare facilities, educational facilities, elevators, hotels and motels, restaurants and common areas in apartment buildings, condominiums, trailer parks and retirement facilities.

Additionally, the ordinance bans smoking in or on all townowned facilities and property – including parking lots and

parks – as well as at FunFest and other public events and festivals.

Smoking is also prohibited in enclosed places of employment and outdoor places of employment.

Private residences (except those used as a childcare, adult day care or healthcare facility) are exempt from the ban.

Several other, more specific locations are listed on the ordinance, which can be viewed at Town Hall between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Council president Chalmer “Toby” Tobias noted appreciation for the collaboration on the ordinance between the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition, the council and local businesses.

“I think it was done all in a spirit of goodwill and understanding, so I was very happy to see that,” he said.

The coalition is also working with the City of Wabash to establish a similar ban there.

Council members Tom Dale and Allen Miracle also

expressed support of the ordinance.

“I think the response that we received was, for the most part, very posi-

tive,” Dale said. “We are enhancing the amount of room in front of businesses, … and we are also looking at FunFest, where

we have a lot of kids around, being smokefree. I think that is a very positive thing for the town.”

Miracle thanked

Dan Gray, of Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition, for approaching the town regarding the ordinance.

This will be in an effort to relieve the members who already are mowing.

VIEWPOINT

Smoke-free polices can save lives Dear Editor: Curbing unhealthy behavior is the key to better health. Whatever we can do to prevent tobacco related diseases and deaths to happen, we must act. Tobacco use in the United States is the number one cause of preventable disease and death.

That is why there is a need to make a comprehensive smoke-free law for North Manchester and Wabash. North Manchester is currently working on adopting a smoke – free ordinance for its community. Limiting the exposure to secondhand smoke will protect Wabash County Hoosiers from the diseases and deaths caused by secondhand smoke. Seven people died from secondhand smoke related diseases in Wabash County in 2016. The economic burden to Wabash County residents was $11 million. We can minimize this with a comprehensive smoke free law.

With a comprehensive smoke free law, we raise the health standard in our communities, which will make us more appealing to businesses and families looking for a healthy place to reside. According to the Surgeon General report, the number of young people that start smoking goes down and more people quit.

When we make a stand against smoking in public buildings and gatherings, we send a strong message that discourages our youth to start smoking.

Let’s stand together to make our communities healthier. Be sure to let your city council representative know of your concern and the need to support a comprehensive smoke free law. — Dan Gray, executive director, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition

On shaking hands

Dear Editor: The (relatively few) people who have come in contact with me since my return to Wabash 17 years ago will have noticed my apparently peculiar practice of not shaking hands but rubbing elbows or now using “fist bumps” instead.

I have always explained that shaking hands is the main way the common cold is transmitted among adults.

I have been rereading Jacques Barzun’s wise and comprehensive history of the last 500 years, “From Dawn to Decadence,” written in his 90s by the former Columbia University professor and dean. He puts my quiet campaign against the handshake into context very concisely on Page 127 “…nor does it seem easier for us to act on our best scientific conclusions when we deal with bodily matters: an age that has made war on smoking and given up the use of the common towel and the common cup should prohibit shaking hands.”

I write at the end of the cold season to give time to practice restraint. – James W. “Jim” Vice, Wabash

Coffee, right meow

By Christine Flohr

A friend of mine gave her husband a coffee mug with the quote “Good morning, I see the assassins have failed” printed on it. (It cracks me up every time!) Humans are serious about coffee. Memes on every level of humor tout the rule “Don’t speak to me before I have had my coffee” or “A day without coffee is like… just kidding, I have no idea.” It’s true we like our java hot, cold, and nitro, and we never, I mean never, let it go to waste.

Glendra Wiley, 74 Somerset graduate Feb. 15, 1944 – May 16, 2018 Glendra Jean Wiley, 74, a rural Wabash County resident since 1947, passed away at 5:10 p.m. Wednesday, May 16, 2018.

She was born in Elwood to Roe and Eunice (Gardner) Robertson. She graduated in the last class of Somerset High School in 1962.

Glendra married Harry E. Wiley of Marion at the Pleasant Grove Wesleyan Church, Wabash County, on Oct. 12, 1963. She was a homemaker who enjoyed reading, bingo and casinos, flowers, and especially family gettogethers.

Mrs. Wiley is survived by her husband, a daughter, Leah (Kevin) Draving, and a son, Wesley Wiley; grandchildren Harrison and Elissa Wiley; two sisters, Rosalie (Leo) Elshire, and Shirley (Charles) Martin; a brother, Max (Kathy) Robertson, all of Wabash County, and many nieces and nephews.

There will be no funeral services as she had chosen the Direct Donor Program of the Indiana University School of Medicine.

Former MU student pleads guilty After more than two years in jail, a former Manchester University student will forego a trial and be sentenced on a charge stemming from the death of her child this month.

Mikayla Munn, 24, of Elkhart, pleaded guilty to one count of neglect of a dependent, level three felony,

in a hearing Monday, June 4. The plea agreement drops a charge of murder and neglect of a dependent, level one felony.

She faces up to 16 years in prison, and a fine of up to $10,000.

The charges stem from a March 2016 incident at MU. Around 11:30 p.m.

March 8, 2016, North Manchester Police dispatch received a

911 call from Munn, who lived in university housing at the time. When first responders arrived at Munn's room, they found Munn and an infant boy in a bath tub. The infant was not breathing.

Both were transported to a local hospital, where the infant was pronounced dead.

Due to inconsistent information in

the evidence, Indiana State Police Det. Josh Maller and North Manchester Police Det. Sgt. Jon Pace began an investigation into the infant’s death, resulting in Munn's arrest Monday, May 2, 2016, on charges of murder and neglect of a dependent.

The guilty plea comes after several reschedulings of Munn's trial.

Wabash County Transit seeks annual grant

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

Living Well in Wabash County's Wabash County Transit looks to continue its services through an annual grant from the state and federal governments.

Living Well CEO Beverly Ferry presented the grant application at the Monday, June 11,

meeting of the county commissioners for their signatures.

“It's that time of year to come around with our grant application that we are submitting to (the Indiana Department of Transportation),” Ferry said. “This time, it's operating plus a capital request.

The capital request is for one, low-floor minivan, and one medium light transit

bus.”

Ferry said that the minivan is to replace one that is no longer handicap-accessible.

“The cost of repairing the ramp is about the same amount we'd have to do to buy a new one,” she said.

The bus is to help handle increased traffic as a result of the hybrid routes Wabash County Transit recently began operating. “[The new routes] will just put pressure on the vehicles; it will be one more to help with that system,” she said.

From the state, Ferry said, the organization is applying for $114,571 in operating funds, and an additional $254,783 from the federal government. Both numbers are assigned by the state or federal government.

The organization's

total operating budget is around $600,000, she said, and is a combination of grant funds, funding from the county, City of Wabash and Town of North Manchester, and local sponsorships and fundraising.

For the capital funds request, Ferry is requesting $72,000 from the federal government, $0 from the state, and will look for an additional $18,000 locally via fundraising.

Ferry also disclosed changes to the service's regulations.

While WCT has always allowed service animals, the transportation service will now allow pets on its vehicles.

“We have to know ahead of time, it has to be in a cage or carrier,” she said.

Additionally, children younger than 9 may ride on their

own, so long as a parent or guardian arranges the transportation ahead of time.

Children younger than five may not ride alone.

More information on Wabash County Transit may be found online at www.livingwellinwabashcounty.o rg.

Commissioners Barry Epply and Scott Givens approved a resolution acknowledging the county as a pass-through entity for funds for Wabash County Transit.

Chairman Brian Haupert was absent.

Additional news from the commissioners' meeting included: A presentation by Dale Bliss, executive director of Advantage Housing, who informed the commissioners that his organization is expanding into Wabash County.

Participants sought for CHAP coordinator training From the DNR The DNR is seeking people to participate in training on July 11 to become a coordinator for the Community Hunting Access Program (CHAP).

CHAP is an initiative through the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife to increase hunting opportunities for deer in urban and suburban areas.

Doing so can help alleviate human-deer conflicts. CHAP provides community partners with financial and technical assistance to administer hunting programs in their communities.

As part of the program, managed hunts are administered by a certified CHAP coordinator trained in hunting safety, deer biology and public relations. The community partner determines when and where managed hunts occur, what hunters can participate, and which certified CHAP coordinator they use or contract.

Training for people interested in becoming a certified CHAP coordinator will take place on July 11.

Before attending training, those interested in becoming a

CHAP coordinator must complete the following prerequisites: Any state-sponsored Hunter Education certification.

Any DFW-Approved Firearms Instructor Training. Examples include: National Rifle Association (NRA) Firearm Instructor Training, Indiana Hunter Education Instructor Academy, 4-H Shooting Sports I n s t r u c t o r Certification, etc.

The re-evolution of College Series

Norse fall to Daleville point in time during the course of the season up until this point. He was a little rusty. We tried to keep him as sharp as could be. But, he just didn’t have it, and that’s going to happen. He’s pitched his rear end off for us for a month now. He struggled with his command a little bit and got behind hitters. When you get to the semistate and get behind hitters, that’s going to be tough on you.

We’re not here without him.”

Harner went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead Northfield offensively.

He was the only Norse hitter to collect multiple hits.

Clayton Tomlinson had a base hit for Northfield, while Vigar and Coe each added triples to the Norse cause.

Northfield will say goodbye to four seniors, Vigar, Coe, Harner and Hunter Cox. Davis said there was a sharp change in his team’s competitive spirit midway through the season, a change sparked by his seniors’ unwillingness to let the season end on a negative note.

BILL BARROWS to compete at the CWS, which constituted the entire Division I tournament, as there were no preliminary rounds.

When ESPN sprang onto the cable television scene in 1979, on of their first broadcasts was the CWS. They have remained a constant ever since.

The format was changed beginning with the 1988 Series when the tournament was divided into 2 four-team doubleelimination brackets, with the survivors of each bracket playing in a single championship game. The single-game championship was designed for network television, with the final game on usually on a Saturday afternoon.

Now it begins on the third Friday in June and runs for a glorious 12 days.

Before expanding to 64 teams in 1999, the

1998 Division I tournament began with 48 teams, split into 8 sixteam regionals. The 8 regional winners advanced to the College World Series.

The regionals were a test of endurance, as teams had to win at least four games over four days, sometimes five if a team dropped into the loser’s bracket.

KOKOMO – During its tournament run, Northfield’s baseball squad had made a living on superb pitching and defense, while scratching out enough runs to survive and advance.

The Norse manufactured a couple runs early in the Saturday, June 9, Class A Semistate against Daleville, but their pitching and defense were not as sharp as it had been this postseason in an 8-2 loss to the Broncos at Kokomo Municipal Stadium.

The loss for Northfield (16-15) snapped a five-game winning streak.

“I’m so proud of these guys for what they’ve overcome in the last month,” Northfield coach Clint Davis said.

“From where we were a month ago to where we are now, competing, I can’t say enough about the kids.”

The Norse managed just five hits, including just one after the third inning.

Matt Coe put Northfield on the board in the top of the first with an RBI triple over the center fielder’s head, plating Blake Harner, who had reached on a twoout single.

Jared Vigar led off the second with a triple over the left fielder’s head and came home on an RBI sacrifice flyout from Braden Ripplinger.

That was all the offense the Norse would muster.

“That kid on the mound for them is good, and we scratched a couple runs across early, but

we never had multiple hits,” Davis said. “We could never get it going up and down the lineup like we wanted to. We’ve been just barely scratching enough across.

Unfortunately, those couple runs early weren’t enough to hang on today. … At some point you’re going to have to score more than one or two runs to get out of one of these things, and we just couldn’t do that today.”

Harner drew the start on the hill and wasn’t as sharp as he had been during Northfield’s postseason run.

He allowed six hits in 4 1/3 innings of work, walking six and hitting three more batters.

He allowed seven runs, but was the victim of four Norse errors.

Harner exited in favor of Nate Drancik in the fifth inning, where Daleville (21-9) pushed across five runs to break open a close game, taking an 8-2 lead.

“You get to this point and you’re thinking ‘he has five days off and will have a lot of rust,’” Davis said. “We don’t have five days off at any

SQU I RREL CREEK

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

Four Big Ten teams qualified for the postseason in NCAA Division 1 baseball this season. That is a feat in itself simply because of one fact.

The Big Ten is a “cold weather” conference based predominantly in the Midwest, therefore the opportunity to play games in warm weather is shorter, and because of that, schools have trouble recruiting as many top players because they are drawn to the south where they can play better competition and have a longer season.

Minnesota, Indiana, Purdue and Ohio State qualified this year and played in the regionals last weekend.

Indiana, Purdue and Minnesota all got to the championship games of their respective regionals before being eliminated. The last team to win a regional, super regional and get to the World Series was Indiana 5 years ago.

The College World Series first started right here in the Midwest in 1947 in Kalamazoo, Mich., as an eight team, single elimination tournament. Kalamazoo also hosted the following year. Similar to 1947, but the two, four-team playoffs were changed to double-elimination tournaments. Again in the finals, the two winners met in a bestof-three format.

The tourney then moved to Wichita, Kansas, for a year and then on to Omaha, Nebraska where it has been played ever since. An eight-team, double-elimination format for the College World Series coincided with the move to Omaha in 1950. From 1950 to 1953, a baseball committee chose one team from each of the eight NCAA districts

Excellence based on the criteria of attendance, grade point a erage, job perfo av f rmfo ance, attitude/respectf lness, and leaderfu ship/teamwork r . Each rk of the students walked across the Honeywell stage in fr f ont of a fu f ll crowd of parents, f iends, teachers, supfr port staff f and adminisff trators.

V i n c e n n e s University President Dr. r Charles Johnson r. was on hand to challenge students in their career and life f purfe suits. His message to students was based on the analogy of a healthy tree: Setting a f rm fo fi f undation (the roots), developing and protecting your core (trunk), and branching out to develop new talents and reach new heights (branches).

Johnson also emphasized the partnerships that high schools, colleges and businesses are creating to assist students in innovativ i e iv ways such as the Vincennes University Early College programs being developed across the state.

Approximately 290 students at Heartland took advantage of these type of programs off f fe ff fered to earn over 2000 college credits in the dual credit established with Vincennes

University and Ivy Tech Community College. The crowd was then treated to a video presentation created by the Interactiv i e iv Media Program students, which provided a year’s summary of all the programs and activ i ities at Heartland iv Career Center. r r.

Also celebrated were the 199 students that participated in the Y uth Organizations Yo (B.P. PA., SkillsUSA, and P. F C.C.L.A.). Fift F. f y of ft these students were able to compete at state skills competitions and 11 students qualif ed fo fi f r national competitions.

Heartland recognized it’s fo f rth class of National Technical Honors Society student of 37 indiv i iduals iv meeting the rigorous academic, social and skill qualifi f cations. To fi culminate the night, two students were chosen to receive the Perfe f ct fe Attendance awards: Caleb Kinsler (Wa W bash High School) Wa won the underclass student award of a Cruiser Bike, while Alexis Groshon (Peru High School) won the senior award of a reconditioned 2002 Ford Focus, donated by a fo f rmer Heartland student Jonathan Moon.

Wabash County veteran takes flight

By David Brinson news@thepaperofwabash.com On Wednesday, May 23, random commuters at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport would have figured the cheering crowd was for some famous flyer and they would have been wrong. It was for Barentte “Barney” Wolfrum and 84 other United States veterans.

They’re not celebrities, but on that day, they were certainly treated as if they were.

“They make you feel like royalty all day long,” Wolfrum, 85, said.

Wolfrum, and the other men and women, were receiving an Honor Flight to Washington D.C. The Honor Flight initiative provides older veterans one day trips to our nation’s capital, along with coordinating plenty of gifts and fanfare along the way.

Originally created to help those who fought in World War II see the new memorial honoring them, the program expanded to include Korean and Vietnam

veterans as well.

Funded by donations and staffed by volunteers, the veterans themselves don’t have to pay a cent for the flight.

After family and friends send them off and a boisterous band and a crowd of smiling strangers welcome them to D.C., they then tour the city, stopping at multiple monuments and memorials throughout the day. It was the Northeast Indiana division’s 28th flight in total.

For Wolfrum, a Wabash native, it was his second time in Washington D.C. He traveled there during his senior year at Linlawn High School, back in 1950. The capital looked much different back then.

“A couple years ago,” he said, chuckling.

“Back then, the Korean Memorial wasn’t there, World War II Memorial wasn’t there, Vietnam’s obviously wasn’t either. I remember they pointed out the Watergate building to us which all that hadn’t even happened yet.”

Nearly three years

after he graduated, Wolfrum was drafted into the Army and sent to basic training. From there, he was sent to Stuttgart, Germany, where he served as a company clerk during the final years of the Korean conflict.

He returned home in 1955, where he raised a family and farmed for a living.

His daughter, Jane Rogers, is the one who accompanied him on the trip and first sparked the idea of reaching out to the program.

“I said, ‘Have you heard of the honor flight? Would you be interested in that?’

And he jumped right on board,” Rogers said.

Their morning began at 5 a.m. with a meet-and-greet breakfast at a mess hall in Fort Wayne. At the airport, a colossal American flag hung between two extended fire truck ladders.

Water cannons blasted in the background.

Loved ones waved goodbye.

After a few hours in the air, they arrived in Washington, D.C., where they were met

by music and applause.

Then, they toured the city and its multiple different landmarks by bus. They stopped at several different war memorials and witnessed the Changing of the Guard at the Arlington National Cemetery. His daughter, sporting her navy blue “Guardian” shirt, wheeled him around each location. She said

it made for quite the long day and quite the work out.

“I don’t know how she did it,” Wolfrum said as he looked through the many pictures of him and his daughter from that day.

“The day after I didn’t even get out of the house. I was tired.”

With several medical complications, including a stint, an

artificial heart valve and needing external oxygen, he was impressed with how prepared and accommodating the program was. They had oxygen tanks and a wheelchair waiting for him when they touched ground in Washington, D.C. “Oh, it’s fantastic. I’d like to recommend it to any others to take the flight.

Everything’s

just planned out so well.”

His daughter echoed the same sentiment.

“Everywhere we go all day long, it’s thank you for your service, thank you for service… If anybody has someone that hasn’t gone on it, I encourage them to go,” she said.

“It’s a trip of a lifetime.”

An ongoing look at Wabash County 4-H 10-year members

4-H Grows...

Makayla Proffitt School: Southwood Parents: Greg & Treccia Proffitt Future Plans: Attend IUK to pursue a nursing degree and obtain a paramedic license 4-H Club: Crimson Clovers 4-H Projects: Goats and Photography 4-H Grows Dedication: Makayla has learned about the importance of dedication during her time in 4-H. “My first year showing pigmy goats I had to really dedicate myself to train them, feed them, and spend time with them.

Because I was so dedicated with that, I got Reserve Grand Champion with my goat Marco my first year in showmanship, so I guess it pays off,” Makayla says.

Makayla has also been dedicated in completing her Photography projects. “I went to state for Photography and that picture took me a while to get the right angle,” Makayla explains. Dedication will help Makayla in the future as she pursues a nursing degree.

“You definitely have to be dedicated to your college studies because college is so much harder than high school. You have to be able to adapt and change your ways,” she says.

Matt Montel School: Northfield Parents: Cathy & Greg Montel Future Plan: Continuing in the workforce 4-H Club: Lagro Speedy Clovers 4-H Projects: Swine, Feeder Calves, Crops 4-H Grows Responsibility: Responsibility is one of the skills Matt has grown during his time in 4-H. “In 4-H, I’ve had to be responsible for feeding, watering, washing, cleaning, and working with my livestock.

Taking care of my livestock has become an everyday routine. I’ve also been responsible for planting and picking my crops and checking them in to the correct places on judging day. If I couldn’t get my projects to the right place at the right time, then they wouldn’t be judged and all my work would be for nothing,” Matt explains.

Responsibility is something that Matt learned early on in his ten years of 4-H, and it will be an asset as he continues into the workforce. Although responsibility is Matt’s favorite skill, it is just one of many that he has gained over his 10 years. “Being responsible for my projects has helped me do well and earn awards at the fair. I feel like my hard work has paid off.”

Jared Vigar School: Northfield Parents: Lori & Troy Vigar Future Plan: Pursue a degree in Aeronautical Engineering Technology & Professional Flight at Purdue University 4-H Club: Lagro Speedy Clovers 4-H Projects: Photography, Swine, Woodworking, Entomology 4-H Grows Time Leadership:“When I was little, I always looked up to the older kids on the baseball field, in the school hallways, and especially in the show ring. Now that I am one of those older kids, I want to do everything I can to lead by example for the little eyes that are watching me.”

Jared’s projects have helped him develop a creative eye, experience a wide range of interests, and develop handson skills that will come in handy with his aeronautical engineering and professional flight degrees. “Now that my time in 4-H is almost over, I’m excited for the next step. For me, that is going into a major that is not very popular, but hopefully I can continue leading by example in stepping into the unknown and showing others that there are no limits to what they can accomplish.”

Kiera Stacy School: Manchester Parents: Joe & Rita Stacy Future Plans: Attend Huntington University to pursue a degree in education 4-H Club: Chester Champs 4-H Projects: Swine and Foods 4-H Grows Time Management:During her ten years as a 4-H member, Kiera has learned about the importance of time management and its role in successfully completing her projects.

“I have learned to balance many things such as feeding, watering, walking pigs, cleaning pens, doing book work and working on my foods projects,” Kiera says. Kiera explained how time management has become a skill that has played a major role in her life all throughout high school and will help her after high school when she goes to attend Huntington University this fall to major in education. Time management will help Kiera balance extracurricular activities and academic studies. “Along with 4-H, I was active in high school athletics and maintained a high GPA in my academic studies.

This is a skill that will continue to help me as I enter a new chapter of life in college studies and extra-curricular activities.”

MMS announces Historic Preservation and Design awards

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER -- Three projects and an individual dedicated to historic preservation received awards from Manchester Main Street at the nonprofit's annual meeting.

Each year, MMS honors those who spend significant time and energy on local, historical structures.

This year's award recipients include the Wabash County Commissioners, KenopocaMocha Coffee Shop and Steve Batzka.

MMS's Historic Preservation and Design committee presented the awards Wednesday, May 23, at The Firehouse.

Mary Chrastil, president of the North Manchester Historical Society and MMS Historic Preservation and Design committee member, presented the awards.

“One of the committee's goals is to encourage quality design and good choices in improvements that are made to buildings in our town, keeping the historic buildings true to their architectural style,” she said. “The

awards are given to building owners and entities that have made efforts to make North Manchester a more beautiful place to live.

“In a town where there are so many beautiful, historic homes and structures, there are so many owners that could be honored.”

The Historic Landmark Award went to the county commissioners for their contributions to the 2013 restoration of the covered bridge.

A brief video created by Steve Olsen showing images of the bridge ranging from the early 1900s through the present, including the restoration work, accompanied Chrastil's description of the project.

“One of the iconic landmarks of North Manchester is our covered bridge,” Chrastil said. She noted that many local organizations used the likeness of the bridge on their letterhead or in their logos.

Built in 1872 by the Smith Bridge Company of Toledo, Ohio, the bridge is constructed of wood with pins, bolts and squarecut nails, and is listed

in the National Register of Historic Places.

“During 2013, the restoration project began to repair or replace deteriorating trusses,” she said.

“They replaced flooring, roofing and siding in order to extend the life of the structure for future generations to use and to admire.”

The restoration used as much existing material as possible, and was supervised by state and local agencies.

“Our Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners were instrumental in getting the project completed,” Chrastil said, noting that county highway superintendent John Martin also contributed.

“We are so glad that John and the commissioners gave this project their full support, so that this landmark can continue to be beautiful and safe.”

The National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program and the Transportation Enhancement Fund provided 80 percent of the project's funding, with the commissioners approving the

remaining 20 percent from the county's highway funds. The project cost nearly $1 million.

All three commissioners – Barry Eppley, Scott Givens and Brian Haupert – attended the meeting to receive the award.

The 2018 Award for Commercial Buildings went to KenopocaMocha Coffee Shop.

Chrastil provided brief background on the building, which is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Market and Second streets and was built in 1880.

North Manchester residents Jim and Debbie Chinworth purchased the property in 2007, and opened “KMo” April 29, 2008.

“The plan was to create a communityowned coffee shop, so Jim and Debbie invited folks to join them on Saturdays in 2007, and those volunteers filled six large dumpsters” while gutting the house, Chrastil said.

“It needed paint and landscaping, chimney repair work and a new roof, but the real restorative work was on the inside.”

Interior restoration included sanding and

finishing the floors and restoring the wood trim by hand.

“Amazingly, none of that woodwork had been painted,” Chrastil said.

Debbie Chinworth accepted the award.

The final award of the night, the Lifetime Achievement Award for Historic Preservation, went to Steve Batzka for his work restoring buildings throughout the town.

“Over the past 40 years, Steve has transformed many houses in town,” Chrastil said, “and when Steve takes on a restoration project, he does it thoroughly and with attention to detail, and he

does a lot of the manual work himself.

“Steve has also served as a consultant to many homeowners who are attempting to restore their own homes.”

Chrastil briefly discussed the several homes Batzka purchased and restored, as well as the Thomas Marshall Museum House, which she said Batzka painstakingly restored with authentic time period furnishings.

“Steve spent a winter hand-painting the grain in all the woodwork,” she said, as well as “countless hours finding period furniture for the house and decorating it to make a

wonderful tourist stop in North Manchester.”

Batzka's most recent project is the former Wampler Jewelry store on Main Street, now home to New Look Boutique.

“This building is one of the few buildings left in town with its original cabinetry intact,” Chrastil said.

“Steve embodies the spirit of our preservation awards by really, truly making North Manchester a more beautiful place for all.”

In addition to a paper certificate, each award recipient is given a paver in the sidewalk in downtown North Manchester in recognition of their accomplishments.

Indiana American Water reports strong water quality

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Provider Indiana American Water recently released its water quality reports for 2017 for Wabash and Somerset, with high quality reviews across the board.

“To comply with state and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, Indiana American Water issues a report annually describing the quality of your drinking water,” the organization said in a press release. “The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect your drinking water sources. In 2017, we conducted tests for many contaminants, all of which were below state and federal allowable levels.”

Indiana American Water explained that the public water system for Wabash relies on ground water obtained from eight wells in two well fields.

Sources of that ground water include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells.

As water travels over the surface of the land and through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

“In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit

the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems,” Indiana American Water said. “U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.

Indiana American Water’s treatment processes are designed to reduce any such substances to levels well below any health concern and the processes are controlled to provide maximum protection against microbial and viral pathogens which could naturally present in surface and groundwater.”

Indiana American Water was within compliance for levels of barium, fluoride, lead, copper, total trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids and chlorine for both the Wabash and Somerset surface areas.

For the Wabash area, a water hardness level of 391 parts per million (ppm) was found, while a total of 6.7 parts per billion (ppb) was found for molybdenum.

For sodium, a naturally-occurring 7.2 ppm was found, while 449 ppm of Strontium was found.

In addition, 53 ppm of sulfate was found in water leaving the treatment facilities.

For the Somerset area, a water hardness level of 390 ppm was found. In addition, 11.5 ppm of sodium and 21.5 ppm of sulfate was found in water leaving

the treatment facilities.

In the Wabash area, the water had a pH level of 7.5, and a total hardness of 380 milligrams per liter.

The 0.7 milligrams per liter of fluoride of is naturally occurring and also occurs as an additive to the water.

The water held 6.8 milligrams per liter of sodium, 0.07 milligrams per liter of iron, and .035 milligrams per liter of manganese.

In the Somerset area, the water had a pH level of 7.7, and a total hardness of 400 milligrams per liter.

The 0.5 milligrams per liter of fluoride is both naturally occurring and used as an additive.

The water held 16 milligrams per liter of sodium, 0.03 milligrams per liter of iron, and 0.027 milligrams per liter of manganese.

“We are pleased to report that the water supplied to our customers last year was of higher quality than required by state and federal drinking water regulations,” Indiana American Water President Deborah Dewey said. “Our consistently high water quality and the commitment we make to ensure it distinguishes us as a leading water supplier.

“Our team of water quality and plant operation professionals works hard every day to ensure the highest quality water service for our customers,” Dewey added. “These results are a testament to their dedication and expertise.”

THE PAPER

Charley Creek Inn named to the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame

By The Paper staff Charley Creek Inn has received the T r i p A dv i s o r Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame Award.

The honor is presented to hospitality businesses that

deliver consistently great service across the world. This distinction is awarded to approximately 10 percent of total businesses on TripAdvisor; to qualify a business must have consistently achieved great reviews for five con-

secutive years.

“Winning the T r i p A dv i s o r Certificate of Excellence for five consecutive years is a remarkable feat,” said Marc Charron, President of TripAdvisor for B u s i n e s s .

“TripAdvisor is pleased to induct five-time award winners into the ‘Hall of Fame.’ By putting a spotlight on businesses that are focused on consistently delivering great service to customers, TripAdvisor not only helps drive an improvement to hospitality standards around the world, it also gives businesses both large and small the ability to shine and stand out from the competition.”

Charley Creek Inn is a restored, historic boutique hotel, original built in the 1920s.

It offers 30 individually-decorated guest rooms and suites, locally sourced upscale dining at Twenty Restaurant, live performances at the Green Hat Lounge speakeasy, artisan chocolate and Indiana-made

ice cream in the Ice Cream & Candy Shoppe as well as gourmet cheeses and wine. It has served as a catalyst for downtown renewal since it reopened in 2010 after being purchased and renovated by local philanthropist and historic preservation aficionado Richard E. Ford, of the Ford Meter Box family.

“There is no greater affirmation than being endorsed by our own guests.

With the T r i p A dv i s o r Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to providing an exceptional experience to visitors,” said Howard Kaler, General Manager of Charley Creek Inn. “This distinction is a true testament to our team who strives to exceed guest expectations to ensure an enjoyable experience.”

Charley Creek Inn is located at 111 W. Market Street, Wabash
