New recycling program to begin Jan. 1
By The Paper staff
 
As of Jan. 1, the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District will begin a new drop-site recycling program to better assist county residents.
 
The new program was made possible with the partnership of Whitley Environmental from Columbia City, an environmental consulting company that won the local district’s 2016-2018 recycling program bid.
 
With this change in vendors also comes a change to the program, in that residents will no longer need to separate their recyclables.

Council trims funds from 2016 salary ordinance
By Joseph Slacian
 
The Wabash City Council trimmed the city’s salary ordinance by $64,800, eliminating the police department’s clothing allowance and holiday pay.
 
The elimination doesn’t mean that the department will not be receiving those funds. Rather, the funds were duplicated, and the duplication was eliminated.
 
The council, at its Nov. 23 meeting, also was asked to consider using $32,000 of the funds, which had already been budgeted, to create a receptionist’s position at City Hall. While the post would be new, the funding would not be as it was to be taken from the $64,800 duplicate payment.

NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” finalists will take to the Honeywell Center Ford Theater stage tonight at 7:30 p.m.
 
Runner-ups Andy Erikson, Ian Bagg, Dominique and Wabash’s own Michael Palascak will open for Clayton English, the winner of Last Comic Standing.
 
So far, touring “has been really good,” Erikson told The Paper of Wabash County in a phone interview.
 
“We’ve been all around. East Coast, West Coast, the Midwest,” she continued. “It’s been really fun.
 
“We’ve gotten to perform every night for different crowds all over the country and we’ve gotten to see how those different crowds … laugh at or react to different jokes and I think it’s making us all stronger comics. So it’s an experience to try to grow.”
