To close
A Decatur construction company specializing in bridge building expects to close in July after 60 years in business.
Baker & Schultz Inc. was over-whelmed by the need to comply with state and federal bridge-building rules, company President John Schultz said this week in a news release to the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.
The heavy highway construction company was too small to keep up with the changing regulations, he said.
Baker & Schultz has been the builder of several bridges in Jay County, and was in charge of moving an old iron bridge from Knox Township and replacing it over the Salamonie River near the Weiler-Wilson Park.
Schultz said most of the company's 21 employees found work with Primco Inc., a Fort Wayne construction company that also builds bridges. About 15 former workers will join Primco, said Schultz, who is a Decatur city councilman and is running as a Democrat for the mayor's position.

Ryan H. Vannatter, former assistant vice-president of Old National Bank in Portland, has joined STAR's Muncie Broadway banking center as banking center officer.
With 10 years of banking experience from Old National, he was formerly employed with XPLEX Extreme Competition Park in Portland.
Vannatter earned his bachelor of science degree in accounting from Ball State University.

Celebrates one year

To help mark the milestone, employees are engaging in a variety of internal celebrations. Externally, the company will kick off a nationwide food drive. Food will be collected in about 100 of the company's major work sites.
