UF tees off 2019 campaign

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The 2019 Wabash County United Fund campaign teed off on Wednesday, Sept. 11, with the annual Wabash Rotary Club golf outing at the Honeywell Golf Course.

Eighteen teams participated in the event, which included lunch, raffles, various contests, and a chance to meet with repre-

sentatives from the 22 local agencies that will benefit from the campaign.

“The Wabash Rotary Golf Outing every year signals the beginning of our annual fundraising campaign,” UF Executive Director Steve Johnson told golfers before the event. “It’s always a good experience for us to welcome all of you as participants in that campaign. The money that was

spent on your registration, and the raffle prizes, and the sponsorships from the various companies, goes to a very worthy cause. That’s what supports local organizations in Wabash County that support struggling families that are in need.

“Thank you very much for being a part of that.”

The City of Wabash has made great strides in recent years, and state officials are taking notice.

On Thursday, Sept. 12, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs have named Wabash, along with the City of Rushville, as mentors to the Town of Edinburgh in the newly launched Peer program.

The goal of the program is for local leadership to gather best practices and the necessary tools to advance an innovative vision through in-person assessments, stakeholder conversations and peer advisement.

Exactly how that is accomplished remains to be seen.

Mayor Scott Long told The Paper of Wabash County that he believes the mentorship program will involve visits to the

three communities by various stakeholders of each municipality.

“First and foremost what I want to do is figure out what exactly that community is looking for?” he said. “What do they want to single out or be the first project that may be what they want to work on. That would determine who I would include on my team.”

And how big the city’s team will be also remains to be seen.

“There again, I think it depends on what they’re looking for,” Long said.

Likely to be included are representatives from Visit Wabash County and Grow Wabash County, he said.

“But there again, I don’t know what they’re looking for,” he noted.

The city applied for the mentorship earlier this year at the urging of several OCRA offi(continued on page 6)

NHS students ‘Schooled’ about mental health

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Northfield Jr. Sr. High School students flooded the gymnasium with a sense of excitement on Wednesday, Sept. 11.

Music was blaring, the main lights were off and concert lights were illuminating the room.

To someone just walking by, it looked like a rave was about to take place, but the purpose of this convocation was much more serious than fun music and lights.

The Get Schooled Tour was visiting to talk to the students about mental health in efforts to reduce the stigma around the sensitive topic.

As students entered the gym, they were told to connect with a polling system on their phones so they could participate in answering questions that would be asked throughout the presentation.

The presentation started with Mark Chatman, the main presenter for the tour, inviting all of the students to listen and take it seriously. (continued on page 5)

Area firefighters honor 9-11 victims

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com

Right inside the main entrance of the Wabash YMCA, stair climbers were set up for people to participate in the 9/11 Stair Climb Challenge.

Since the tragic happenings of Sept. 11, 2001, firefighters and regular citizens have been climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center in remembrance and honor of the firefighters who lost their lives heroically saving others from the buildings.

Many people wear full firefighter gear as they climb, while others simply climb to ensure that the 343 fire fighters who sacrificed their lives are never forgotten.

Former firefighter, Dick White, for example, said he was unable to climb the full 110 stories, but still climbed as much as he could to honor his fallen brothers.

“I wanted to be part of this and represent the retirees,” he said.

Jeff Krom and Dennis Vigar started this challenge in Wabash in 2013.

“We’d seen other departments do [the stair climb challenge],” said Krom.

“Dennis and I challenged each other that year to do it, so we showed up with gear, didn’t tell anyone we were doing it, went upstairs and did it, and it’s just

grown from there,” he said.

In addition to those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks, it also is dedicated to three Wabash County firefighters who perished in the line of duty.

Krom doesn’t know anyone personally that was there on Sept. 11, but expressed that this challenge is something that means a lot to him.

“The fire department in general is just a big brotherhood and this is a way for us to honor their memory and honor the ones who are still serving today.”

City OKs abatement for Wendt building

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A 10-year tax abatement for M&R Brothers LLC was approved Monday, Sept. 9, by the Wabash City Council.

The firm, which does business as Wendt & Son, sought the abatement for a new building that it is constructing.

Prior to the vote, the council had a public hearing on the matter. The hearing was needed, according to Wendt attorney Doug Lehman, because abatements are generally sought before a project is started.

“The whole idea is giving tax abatement will give incentives to somebody for doing something they might otherwise not do,” he said. “So, if you’ve already done it, there’s no point in giving you an incentive to do it.”

However, Indiana statute recognizes that there are some occasions that might be appropriate to waive that “technicality,” he said. If a council opts to waive that

requirement, a hearing is needed.

The company started the work the proper way, but found out their then attorney failed to do the proper work.

“It’s not like Wendts just ignored it, or that Wendts didn’t have any idea and only found out about it after the fact and then ran in and tried to take advantage of it,” Lehman said. “It is the fact that they thought it was being done and somebody else dropped the ball.”

He pointed out to the council that the firm isn’t a heavy industrial business located in the middle of a residential area.

Rather, he said, the area was originally zoned heavy industrial and has been for nearly 75 years.

“It’s not like they’ve got industry in what should be a residential neighborhood,” Lehman said.

Wendt Director of Sales & Marketing Chad Eastburn also spoke before council.

Initially, the project was designed for a customer who wanted the firm to do injection molding machin-

ery rebuilds. After building plans were underway, he said, the customer changed its mind; however, Wendt officials decided to continue with the plans to eliminate a warehouse in Rochester. The firm plans to sell that warehouse once the new building is complete, he added.

Recently, the rebuild work came back on the table, and that work could begin as early as next year.

The building also will allow the firm to bring work now done on the outside to a place under roof, Eastburn said, noting that will be especially be helpful during the winter. It also has allowed the firm to clean up the area, letting it to store various items inside the new structure.

The building, which is about 90 percent complete, is 150-feet by 150-feet with a 25foot lean-to on one side.

One neighbor at the hearing said the firm has made great improvements to the area.

Crash claims Claypool man

By The Paper staff At approximately 1:35 p.m. Thursday, officers from the Indiana State Police and the North Manchester Police Department responded to a two vehicle crash on Wabash County Road 1050 North east of State Road 15, in which a Claypool man died.

The preliminary crash investigation by Trooper A.J Coffee

revealed that Zachary Smith, 29, Claypool, was driving a 2017 Harley Davidson motorcycle eastbound on County Road 1050 North, near State Road 15. For an undetermined reason, the motorcycle crossed the center line, entered the westbound lane of County Road 1050 North, and

continued into the north side ditch. Peter Iseton, 50, Silver Lake, was driving a 1999 Ford Ranger westbound on County Road 1050 North, near State Road 15, when the motorcycle crossed into his path.

He attempted to avoid hitting the motorcycle by turning into the north side ditch, but he could not avoid the

motorcycle.

After impact, Smith was ejected from the motorcycle.

Smith died at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash. Iseton was not injured.

This is an ongoing investigation, but neither the use of alcohol nor drugs is suspected as having contributed to the crash.

MSD honors staffer, student

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com At the Metropolitan School District board meeting on Tuesday, Sept.

10, select students and staff members were recognized for their achievements.

Superintendent Mike Keaffaber first

introduces Andrew Blackburn, a parent of a cheerleader at Southwood Jr. Sr. High school who nominated Cierra Treska to win a Staff Spotlight award.

Treska is the cheer coach and also serves as the Campus Life director at SJHS. “Between mentoring young adults at Southwood and lead-

ing our female athletes to look past peoples negative beliefs about their sport, and expanding their involvement in school and community,” said Blackburn about why he nominated Treska.

“I was happy to be able to bring my daughter back to MSD schools where my daughter could fall in love with supporting her school and finding a role model like Cierra,” he said.

Treska was asked to speak next, and reluctantly, after explaining that she is not much of a public speaker, she shared with the board and the audience that she loves what she gets to do, that she gets to be a part of the students’ lives and have fun with the dynamic between cheer coach and Campus Life director. “[I enjoy] getting to make an impact and see the fruit from it,” she said.

Treska received a coupon from Pizza

Hut for a free large pizza as well as a polo shirt from First Farmer’s Bank and Trust.

Keaffaber then recognized Southwood High School senior, Daniel Cornett for a piece he wrote and submitted to the Womans Clubhouse in Wabash.

Cornett was invited to read his writing at their most recent clubhouse luncheon on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Next recognized was Rick Brewer, a history teacher and basketball coach at Northfield High School.

Brewer’s book, “Jeremy Peters: True Lies and Confessions of a High School AllAmerican,” was published.

Also, on Tuesday’s meeting, the board heard Keaffaber give a report on the progress of the renovations at Southwood and Northfield. He reported that things are going well.

Living Well ribbon cutting set

By The Paper staff Grow Wabash County will have a ribbon cutting celebration for the second Living Well in Wabash County location on Monday, Sept.

23, at 11 am. The new location is at 35 East Market Street, in Wabash Indiana (inside the Rock City Lofts).

Living Well in Wabash County has had a strong history in Wabash County since 1974. Originally Wabash County Council on Aging, the

organization rebranded to Living Well in Wabash County in 2011. Now they are opening a second location and holding true to the mission statement, “We strive to meet the changing needs of senior citizens.” This new location shows that they are moving forward and growing with Wabash County. Grow Wabash County is delighted to see this growth in the community.

“We are happy to welcome Living Well in Wabash County to

the new location at the Rock City Lofts in downtown Wabash,” said Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, President & CEO of Grow Wabash County.

“This project was a long time in the making and is a great fit for our community. I commend all the partners that made this new downtown location possible for truly doing what is best for the community.”

Grandma’s Fudge, made at the Senior Center, as well as coffee and tea will be available.

Mental health

Wabash Fire Engine No.2 was recently donated to the Wabash County Historical Museum by Gebhart Holdings. Photo provided

Museum receives fire engine The Wabash County Museum houses more than 150,000 artifacts that are actively cared for, preserved, and used for exhibitions.

Some of the artifacts are as small as a paper document, while one of the largest items in the museum currently is the Service Motor Truck. Many of these items are located in the Richard E. Ford Archives and Research Center, while others are stored in the climate controlled lower level collection storage space.

However, the museum’s newest artifact will not fit in either of these spaces.

On Tuesday, museum officials took ownership of a 1971 Mack Fire Engine.

This engine was used by the Wabash Fire Department, and while it was in service was referred to as Engine No. 2. After being taken out of service in 2006 as a reserve engine for the department, the fire engine was owned by a local collector before being sold to yet another collector outside of the area.

“Engine No. 2 showed up at a fire muster in New Haven a few weeks ago with

a for sale sign posted in it,” said Mitch Figert, President and CEO of the Wabash County Museum. “It wasn’t long before the museum starting receiving calls to consider bringing this engine home.”

The museum does not usually accept large items due to the c o m p l e x i t i e s presented in caring for them, such as storage, ongoing maintenance, and use restrictions. In this case, however, museum officials saw an opportunity to preserve a piece of Wabash County history while also using the fire engine as part of their community and e d u c a t i o n a l programming.

As part of the m u s e u m ’ s sponsorship program, Gebhart Holdings, Inc. has partnered with the Museum to sponsor Engine No. 2.

“We’re happy to support the Museum and appreciate all that they do for the community,” said Ben Gebhart, CEO of

Gebhart Holdings.

“The fire engine will be another great piece to add to their already impressive collection of Wabash County History.”

Museum officials has been fortunate to partner with companies and individuals to sponsor new exhibits and also to repair and refresh many of their more than 90 exhibits housed within the facility.

“Thanks to the generous support of Gebhart Holdings, Inc., the museum was able to acquire the engine before it could be sold and taken further out of the area,” said Figert.

“The museum relies on the generosity of donors to support our mission and we are grateful for Gebhart Holdings, Inc. support and passion for our local community.”

Engine No. 2 will make a homecoming performance during the Wabash Founder’s Day Parade on Saturday, Sept. 21.

“This might not mean anything to you, but it might mean everything to your neighbor, so please show respect,” he said.

He then explained the purpose of this presentation.

“People say all the time, ‘Why do you come and set up with all of these lights and bring an artist and a band out on the road?’

It’s because we believe that having a conversation about our mental health should be a normal conversation, and we want to help lower the stigma that surrounds that and build our resiliency,” said Chatman.

Rapper Kevi Morse was welcomed to the floor to perform for the students.

He rapped positive messages about sharing one’s story and

accepting that each person is made the way they are meant to be.

Students then watched videos about other real students sharing their struggles with anxiety and depression.

Throughout the presentation, students were invited to anonymously answer poll questions about their mental health, and the results were shown on the screen for the students to see.

About 350 students participated in the poll and when asked about the level of depression they have felt in the last 30 days, over 60 percent said that they have felt some level of depression.

When asked if anyone knew someone who has struggled with suicidal thinking, 52 percent said

5

...continued from Page 1 yes, and 31 percent said that they themselves have seriously thought about prematurely ending their lives.

Students also were given an opportunity to submit a few words about the struggles they face.

Those answers were displayed on the screen as well and included answers such as body image, sexual assault, loneliness, self-harm, suicidal thinking and abuse.

Chatman encouraged all of the students to find someone they can talk to whether it be a friend, trusted adult, or counselor.

Chatman shared his own story of being in foster care for the majority of his childhood before finally being adopted.

He struggled with

bottling up emotions and feeling as though he needed to deal with his struggles on his own, but once he started to open up and share his experience and feelings, he was able to get the help he needed and begin to heal.

Employees from Bowen Center of Wabash were available to students during the presentation.

They were in the library and students were encouraged to make their way there and talk with one of them if they felt the need.

Chatman ended the presentation by letting the students know that they are never alone.

“I encourage you all to share your story and get the help you deserve,” he said.

Renovations complete at Bruce Ingraham Building The renovation of the exhibit hall at the Wabash County Fairgrounds is now complete, Fair Board members announced.

The building is named in honor of the late Bruce Ingraham,

President and CEO of Beacon Credit Union from 1980 to 2012.

Upgrades were made to the electrical and HBAC systems, along with major cosmetic and layout renovations. The hall can

accommodate 200 people and is available to the public for event rentals.

Fair board members would like to thank the Wabash Community for its donations toward the

renovation. Without the generosity of the local businesses and individuals, this renovation, along with the continued improvements to the fairgrounds, would not be possible, they said.

Mentors cials.

On Wednesday, they broached the idea with Long about the partnership with Rushville.

“I thought, great idea,” the mayor said.

“Rushville was named a Stellar Community, I think, the year after us. I know Mayor (Mike) Pavey and Brian Sheehan, who is kind of heading up a lot of their Stellar stuff, so I thought it was a good fit. And, maybe I can learn something from

Rushville.”

The two communities have some similarities.

Whereas Wabash has two state highways intersecting in the downtown area, Rushville has three.

“So we face some of the same challenges with where we are located,” Long continued. “They’re the county seat in Rush County. We’re the county seat in Wabash.”

OCRA officials noted that they like

...continued from Page 1 the collaboration that exists among Wabash, the Town of North Manchester and Wabash County.

Likewise, Rushville collaborates with communities there.

“It’s my understanding, and I don’t know the full details yet, but they kind of intimated to us that Edinburgh would like to build a collaboration with Franklin, which is in Johnson County,” Long said.

That area, he said, is unique in that three counties – B a r t h o l o m e w, Johnson and Shelby – that all come together there.

“I think we can share some experience with those community leaders to help them out,” Long said.

Also to be determined is how long the mentorship will last.

“This is a new program that OCRA has come up with to benefit these communities that maybe just need a little push over the hump,” Long said.

“Maybe they’re doing some good things right now.”

The program also could benefit both Wabash and Rushville in that officials from those two communities can get some ideas from Edinburgh officials, as well from as each other, the mayor believes.

“I talk to Mayor Pavey at various conferences, and we toss things back and forth that’s going on in Stellar communities,” he said. “I do that with all of them. The mayor of Huntingburg and I talk frequently.”

In fact, Long is putting together information for Huntingburg about how it raised funds for its inclusive playground.

Crouch visited Wabash earlier this summer, but she and Long never discussed the mentorship.

“But I think her visit probably solidified in her … that Wabash would be a good fit to do something like this,” he said. “It’s a pilot program. Will it turn into a similar program like Stellar that OCRA runs? To get more communities involved will they take it to a regional level to the point where the Northeast Indiana Region will help different

regions?

“I don’t think anything is out of the realm of possibilities right now. My goal is to work with Mayor Pavey in Rushville and make this initial mentorship and peer program successful and lay the groundwork for the future for other communities.”

In making the announcement, Crouch said “we want to continue encouraging collaboration and reward communities that not only work together, but also mentor and help lift each other to even greater heights.

Hoosiers joining together can take our rural communities to the next level.”

OCRA Executive Director Jodi Golden said, “Rushville’s strong community engagement, publicprivate partnership and the ability to achieve success through planning and dedication make them an ideal mentor. We are excited Wabash has also agreed to help provide insight into downtown redevelopment, economic vitality and riverfront development.”

Edinburgh will receive a $20,000 cash matched grant to implement a quality of place project based on recommendations from the process.

Leadership seminar set for Oct. 15

By The Paper staff The Honeywell Foundation and Grow Wabash County will host a leadership development program on Tuesday, Oct. 15, in Legacy Hall at the Honeywell Center.

The program will feature Jones Loflin presenting “How to Lead When There’s Too Much To Do.” Check in and breakfast begins at 8 a.m., with the presentation from 9-11:30 a.m.

Registration is $75 per person or $55 per person for groups of 10 or more.

Loflin has made it his life’s work to deliver powerful ideas and practical solutions to individuals and organizations struggling with too much to do. His books are described as “illuminating” and his presentations as “unforgettable.”

In his 25 years as an author and speaker, he has helped countless people regain confidence in their ability to achieve greater success in work and life.

Loflin’s innovative solutions on leadership, change, and time management have attracted the attention of organizations around the world. His client list includes

Federal Express, Choice Hotels, Toyota, Raymond James Financial, and State Farm as well as the United States military. His international clients include Saudi Aramco, Gillette, and Aramark Canada.

Looking for ways to expand the reach of his message, Loflin chose to become an author.

“Always Growing” offers fresh strategies to lead, whether you have been leading for two days or two decades.

“Juggling Elephants” is a witty and profound parable about one man’s search for a better way to get everything done. The book is available in the US and over 14 countries. He is also the author of “Getting The Blue Ribbon,” a unique story offering simple strategies to get better results. “Getting to It” is considered a field guide to accomplishing what is most important.

Prior to becoming an internationally recognized speaker, Loflin was an educator. His past work includes serving as the “Trainer of Trainers” for the bestselling book, “Who Moved My Cheese?”

Field day gets ground smoking

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Slightly more than a dozen people watched in amazement Tuesday, Sept. 10, as Frank Gibbs literally made the ground at the Wabash County Farm smoke.

Gibbs, a retired Natural Resources Conservation Service soil scientist, was the keynote speaker at the Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District’s annual field day.

He hooked up an old tractor engine to one of the farm’s drainage tiles. After starting the engine, he placed in it two smoke-producing pods which went from the engine to the drainage tile.

Within minutes, the smoke began emanating from the ground through the tile for at least 50 yards to the south.

The smoke is use as an indicator for water movement through the soil, and to show the efficiency of the underlying tile.

The more smoke that comes to the surface demonstrates a healthier soil, Gibbs noted.

Ground that is more compact will not allow the soil to rise through the surface.

Healthy soil is porous and has a lot of air space for living creatures, such as earth worms.

Before the demonstration, Gibbs gave a breakdown of the farm’s soil structure. He stood in a hole about waste deep, pointing out the various types of soil, as well as the various tiny holes made in the ground by worms.

The holes help with getting water into the soil.

“This is the oldest principle in soil and water conservation, clear back to the Dust Bowl,” Gibbs said. “We’ve got to get the water into the soil. It’s not rocket science. And the way you can get it into the soil is by opening the soil up.”

The first principle of soil health, he said, is “don’t disturb the soil.”

Also during the event, participants saw a rain infiltration demonstration in which “rainfall simulator” produced rain three different types of land – a sod field, a cover crop field and tilled ground.

that named Cottey College, a four year Liberal Arts college sponsored by PEO, as an excellent choice for women looking for higher education.

Cottey was in the top five in rankings for many of the surveys including Best Small Colleges in the Midwest and Most Affordable Colleges.

The meeting ended with the results of personal surveys of the membership being reveled.

United Fund added to the UF list of recipients, Johnson later told The Paper of Wabash County. That group replaces the Purdue C o o p e r a t i v e Extension’s literacy program.

Officials from that organization asked not to be included this year, he noted.

This year’s campaign goal remains the same, $250,000.

The organization raised about 90 percent of that goal during the 2018 campaign.

outing this year.

“This is all a learning experience for me,” he said. “I know we rely heavily upon the funds that we earn during this golf outing to give back to our agencies. It’s a very big event for the year.”

UF touches base with a variety of agencies around the county, he said, adding that it’s been nice to learn about the various programs.

The Blessings in a Backpack programs in Wabash and North Manchester are among the agencies benefitting from United Fund. It had a display on the tee for

“We expect those numbers will increase,” he said.

“They’ve been going up each week as more people see the program and get involved.”

This is the ninth year for the program in North Manchester and the seventh year for Wabash.

Tiffani Hines manned the Hands of Hope/Family Service Society booth on Hole No. 2.

“I really don’t think they could function without the United Fund,” said Hines, a Hands of Hope committee member. “They need so much to just run. We have shelters and safe houses.

Without the United Fund’s help, we wouldn’t be able to run them.

“There’s just so much that goes into it, there’s no way we

could do it without them.”

The Wabash FAME Festival was located on hole No. 18.

Director Judy Ward greeted the various golfers at the site.

“FAME is greatly supported by the United Fund,” she said. “It’s nice to have them appreciate and approve of the efforts that we are doing.

United Fund and Chili for Charity mean a lot to us, as far as funding.”

The festival’s annual budget ranges from $13,000 to $16,000.

“Everything we do is grants or donations,” Ward continued. “So United Fund and Chili for Charity are used to get us started, and then we do fund raising with letters and selling of ads. However, we find it, we want to do it without the kids having to pay to come on in.”

“United Fund is important for both our organizations,” volunteer Steve Brubaker said of the Wabash and North Manchester programs. “All of our funds are raised locally; they’re all through donations. Those are the funds we use to purchase the items we sent each week for the kids.”

Blessings in a Backpack provides food for the weekend for underprivileged children in the M a n c h e s t e r Community, Wabash City and MSD school districts.

“Without the backing of the community and United Fund, we wouldn’t be able to operate,” he said.

NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r University officials will commemorate

the 1787 signing of the United States Constitution each September with its Constitution Day lecture.

For its 2019 Constitution Day program, Professor David Lay Williams of DePaul University will discuss political problems outlined in The Federalist,

explain how the Constitution was designed to overcome those problems and address how the solutions are working in practice today.

“Lessons from The Federalist for Our Times” is 7 p.m.

Thursday, Sept. 19, in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus.

Constitution Week to begin on Sept. 17 There are two documents of paramount importance to American history; the Declaration of Independence, which forged our national identity, and the United States Constitution, which set forth the framework for the federal government that is still in use today.

W h i l e Independence Day is a beloved national holiday, fewer people know about Constitution Week, an annual commemoration of the living document that upholds and protects the freedoms central to our American way of life.

The annual celebration begins Sept. 17.

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) initiated the observance in 1955, when the organization petitioned the U.S. Congress to dedicate Sept. 17-23 of each year to the commemoration of Constitution Week.

Congress adopted the resolution, and on Aug. 2, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into Public Law No.915. The celebration’s goals are threefold: to encourage the

study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787; to inform people that the Constitution is the basis of America’s great heritage and the foundation of our way of life; and to emphasize U.S. citizens’ responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the Constitution.

DAR has been the foremost advocate for the awareness, promotion and celebration of Constitution Week.

John Adams said, “the difficulty with passing the resolution for independence was like getting thirteen clocks to strike at the same instant.” Wife Abigail Adams said, “May the foundation of our new constitution be justice, truth and righteousness.

Like the wise man’s house may it be founded upon those rocks and then neither storms or tempests will overthrow it.”

“If we wish to keep our republic, we must learn about our Constitution,” said Barbara Amiss, Regent for the Frances Slocum Chapter, INDAR.

NORTH MANCHESTER — Internationally acclaimed educator and activist Jackson Katz refuses to see domestic violence and sexual abuse as “women’s issues” that “some good men help out with.”

In “Violence Against Women — It’s a Men’s Issue,” he explains why — and how — all men can work with women as partners and allies to end gender violence and promote equality.

Katz will speak 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept.

26 in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus of M a n c h e s t e r University. It is free and open to the public.

Katz is an author,

educator and social theorist with a doctorate in cultural studies and education from University of California, Los Angeles. His work focuses on gender, race and violence.

He co-founded Mentors in Violence Prevention and since

1997 has run MVP Strategies, which provides sexual harassment and gender violence prevention training around the world.

His TEDxFiDi talk about men and violence against women has been viewed more than 2 million times.

The Sept. 26 presentation is sponsored by the Manchester University Gender Studies Council and the College of Arts and Humanities. It is part of the Values, Ideas and the Arts series, designed to enhance the student experience.

VIEWPOINT Planning underway for 2020 Roann festival Dear Editor: The Roann Covered Bridge Festival committee was very thankful for three out of four days of beautiful weather. We were blessed! Quite a difference from last year when most activities except the music concerts, had to be canceled due to rain.

Saturday, parade day, was especially busy with people.

The festival theme was Rollin on the River and the parade had many g r e a t entries with that theme. And special accent to the Roann parade was the Culver Military Mounted Color Guard which led the parade.

It is an awesome sight and we plan to have them back next year.

Two local entries for the parade were tributes to a two men who passed away this year. The family of J.P. Schuler had J.P.s “first” tractor he bought, and the last.

Quite a difference!

The ice cream handed out after the parade was in memory of J. P. Also, Krom Farms paid tribute to Mark “Goober” Meyers with their entry. Very nice! This is what we do in a small town, and the country - pay respect to our farm-

ing neighbors.

There were no carnival rides at the Roann Festival but the bouncy house, the petting zoo and the pony rides were enjoyed by many children. This will all be at the festival next year.

A new event this year was the Adult Pedal Tractor Pull which was a big hit.

We hope to have more contestants next year.

A big thank you to all

of our sponsors. You are the backbone of our festival and the reason we can continue to get such great entertainment each year. We would also like to thank all of our volunteers who help in the information booth, set up the stages, put up signs, and stay late each night to load the trash.

G r e a t people work well to gether and we have a g r e a t crew! A decision w a s m a d e soon after this year’s festival that starting next year it will be a three festival, from Thurs-day through Saturday. The dates will be Sept. 10-12, 2020. We already have the entertainment lined up and our theme will be Country Sunshine!

So yes, we are already planning for next year. – The Roann Covered Bridge Festival Committee

Laketon Lions thankful for support

CASA volunteers needed Dear Editor: I wanted to help children, but was not sure where to even start looking until I saw an ad in the paper, a billboard, and heard a spot on Wabash radio about CASA needing volunteers. CASA? What was CASA? Honestly I did not have a clue, but after three times, I got the message.

Ten years ago I walked into the Wabash County CASA office, filled out the application, passed the background check, took the required class, and became a volunteer. I had no idea what I was getting into! I took my first case and never looked back.

CASA – Court Appointed Special

Advocate – is the voice of the child, at a time when many cannot speak for themselves. CASA volunteers work with the court and Department of Children’s Services to make sure each case is directed in the best interest of the child. Listing exactly what a volunteer does is impossible, because each case is unique.

One case may involve attending many sessions of parent/child visits. Another may require working to insure an older child

receives continued education and services after aging out of the system. A volunteer may want to work in the office, organize events, or do adverting.

All volunteer work is for the child/children.

CASA – The Voice of the Child – Although I cannot list exactly what a volunteer does, I can tell you what a volunteer needs: A desire to help children live the life they deserve. The goal is always to reunite the family.

Sadly, sometimes this goal is impossible and the search for an adoptive family begins.

During my ten years, I have cried over the children’s stories and laughed at their antics. I have

lost patience with parents who refused to even try and rejoiced with parents when their hard work resulted in a family being restored. I have told children goodbye as they went home and have attended three adoptions.

Someone ask me if CASA was fun. My reply was, “No. It is rewarding.”

Ten years… I put my name on inactive and I need to be replaced.

CASA needs volunteers for casework and many other areas. CASA needs adults with a desire to help children live the life they deserve. Is that adult you?

Wabash County CASA – 260-569-0533.

Please give them a call. — Mary Earle

To the Editor: We the Laketon Lions would like to thank everyone who has supported our annual fish fry at Warvel Park over the past several years. We have done the fish fry with the help of the Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School Music Boosters and given them a share of the profits. We could not have done this event without their help.

But now, with the decline in our membership and the health of our members, we have decided that we can no longer do the fish fry.

Therefore we have completely turned it over to the MJSHS Music Boosters. They are excited and willing to take it over and will announce their date for this event soon.

Again, a big thanks to everyone who supported this event, and thanks for supporting all of our causes. — Doug Schilling, Laketon Lions President; Becky Warmuth, Fish Fry Chair \; Diane Binkerd, Laketon L i o n s Secretary/Treasure r

Blood drive reaches goal To the editor: Thank you to all our donors and volunteer who helped with the labors, donated food, or donated blood for our August blood drive. All of you working together helps to make it a success.

Also thanks to the North Manchester Church of the

Brethren for the use of their facility once again.

We collected a total of 52 units which was over our goal of 50 to 57 units, and we are thankful for each donor. We hope we can increase that number at the next blood drive on Oct. 17.

It will be held in the same location from noon until 6 p.m. We hope to see you there.

We thank each of our faithful donors that come nearly every time.

On behalf of the American Red Cross, thank you. — Donna M. Renicker

City Schools begins Ambassador program Wabash City Schools kicked off its first Ambassador program meeting on Sept. 5.

Earlier this summer, Wabash City Schools invited members of the community and district parents to apply to become an Ambassador.

The Wabash Ambassador program is an eightsession educational program for individuals in the community to get an insider understanding of the operations and programs in the school district. The program started in September and will run through May.

Fundraiser planned for Price Scholarship Fund On Saturday, during the Wabash Founder’s Day Festival, the Richvalley United Methodist Church will be donating proceeds from their tenderloin sale to the George W. Price Scholarship Fund.

The scholarship fund was established by the family of educator George Price, to

reward reading in the fourth grade at O.J. N e i g h b o u r s Elementary School.

The fund is part of the Community Foundation’s Early Award Scholarship Program.

“Our father would have loved promoting educational success with financial awards for elementary stu-

dents,” said Jeffrey Price, George’s son.

“The program of early support for future educational success speaks of our father’s passions to encourage young learners. Dad lived and modelled learning in everything he did.”

Participating fourth grade

Neighbours students who complete all reading assignments in Quarters 1 and 2 with scores of 70 percent or better can earn $10 each quarter.

Additionally, students can earn $20 in each Quarter 3 and 4 by completing all reading assignments with scores of 70 percent or better and meeting their STAR goal for the year. Through the creation of this scholarship, his family exemplifies Price’s

dedication to serving others and his passion for education.

To support the George W. Price Scholarship Fund, be sure to stop by the R i c h v a l l e y Tenderloin trailer during the Wabash Founder’s Day Festival, September 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Ambassador graduates will be partners in sharing Wabash City Schools’ vision throughout the community and will be invited to continue to engage with the district through future project team and input gathering opportunities.

In every state, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or .08 or higher. In Indiana, drivers under 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are subject to fines and a license suspension for up to 1 year.

Getting arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) means going to jail and losing your driver’s license. The average cost?

driving/drunk-driving Impaired driving includes more than alcohol, and there is no quick field test for the many prescription, over-thecounter and illegal drugs that can impair drivers.

Taking a new drug or a higher dose? Talk with a doctor or don’t drive until you know what effects it has.

Even over-thecounter medication can cause impairment, especially when combined with alcohol or a second drug.

Motorcycles are about 3 percent of registered vehicles, but are dramatically over-represented in impaired driving crashes.

And the more that bikers are impaired, the less likely they are to wear helmets.

Gretchen Brown along with family and close friends, donated a check to the Converse/Somerset Volunteer Fire Department on Sept. 9 in memory of Justin Adkins who died in May in a tragic car accident.

Friends say Adkins was a great guy who would help anyone in need. He had been a proud member of the Converse Fire Department.

He is greatly missed

by Brown and family and friends. They wanted to assist

Converse Fire Department because it was so dear to Adkins’ heart. Snack and food items were also donated to Mt. Etna Volunteer Fire Department in Huntington County where the accident happened.

Air Force band performs: Members of the Grisson Air Reserve Base (top photo) color guard stand at attention while the U.S. Air Force Shades of Blue jazz band performs the national anthem during its concert at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. The concert featured music from a variety of American composers ranging from John Williams (himself a U.S. Air Force veteran) to Maj. Glenn Miller, who lost his life during World War II. Many of Miller’s hits were included in the performance, which also had numerous solos by various members of the jazz band. Among the miller songs were “Chattanooga Choo-Choo,” “Pennsylvania 6-5000,” “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree,” “String of Pearls” and, of course, “In the Mood.” Also featured was a medly of service hymns, during which veterans in the audience were honored.
