Local choir headed to Carnegie Hall By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Jack Benny once quipped, “How do I get to Carnegie Hall? Practice. Practice. Practice.” A group of local young women are doing just that, preparing for a March 17 choir performance in New York City’s Carnegie Hall. The choir, the Wabash Community Women’s Choir, is under the direction of
former Wabash High School choir director Emily France. It is made up of 20 young women between 14 and 23 years of age. France told The Paper of Wabash County that she was approached in the fall of 2017 by her former choir teacher at St. Mary’s College, Nancy Menk, about bringing a woman’s choir to be part of the choir composed of about 250 women from around the country. The concert is taking place to mark St.
Mary’s 175th anniversary and Menk’s 35th year at the Notre Dame-based college. France said she spoke with WHS Principal Kyle Weiland about possibly taking a choir to the event, and he said there was a good possibility it could be done. However, France later resigned from the school for personal reasons, and thought the trip would not happen. “I wasn’t able to take a group through the high school because I wasn’t teaching
there anymore,” she said. She contacted the concert promoter – Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY) and told them that that since she resigned, she wouldn’t be able to bring a choir. Her contact at DCINY urged her to consider forming a choir made up of community members. France recalled, “Kind of jokingly she said, ‘You can call it Emily’s Singers. It doesn’t matter. We’re just trying to reach (continued on page 4)
City OKs tax abatements for Hampton Inn By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Rahee Hospitality, the group that plans to build a Hampton Inn in Wabash, received two 10year tax abatements from the Wabash City Council on Monday, Jan. 28. The council unanimously approved the two abatements, one for real estate and the other for personal property. Work on the Hampton Inn, which will be located just north of the intersection of Wedcor Avenue and State Road 15, is expected to begin in April and will have a target of May 2020 for completion, according to Raj Chandat, one of the partners in Rahee Hospitality. Both Chandat and Bindu Patel, another partner in Rahee Hospitality, were at the council meeting. The firm also owns the Holiday Inn Express located just east of the Wabash Village Shopping Center. “We built the Holiday Inn Express, I would say 1998 or 1999,” Chandat said. “Then we went to Marion, Huntington and
now back to Wabash. We think it’s a perfect community to bring a hotel to. The firm plans to invest roughly $5.5 million in the motel, $4 million for the building and land and the remainder for equipment and furnishings for inside and outside the building, Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County, told the council. Work on the 91 room motel is expected to begin in April, with a completion date of May 2020. “The project will be on time if everything goes OK,” Chandat said. The city’s Investment Review Authority reviewed the request, Gillenwater told the council, and by its ranking system both qualified for the 10-year abatements. “Anyone who has tried to get a hotel room for family or friends, colleagues know it’s hard to get a room in Wabash,” Council member Mitch Figert said. “They’re frequently sold out. These are going to be very mod(continued on page 5)

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A Heartland Career Center student is a finalist in a contest sponsored by the National Road Safety F o u n d a t i o n . Dakotah Culver, 16, LaFontaine, is a student in the media arts program that is a collaboration between Heartland and the Honeywell Foundation. A Southwood High School junior, Dakotah wrote the script for a public service announcement about
the dangers of drowsy driving for the Drive Safe Chicago contest as part of a class project. He is one of three finalists; the winning piece will be decided by an online vote in February. “I was very surprised,” he said of his reaction when learning he was a finalist. “We have a lot of good script writers in our class. This was the first script I ever wrote. “I was just baffled.” Dakotah said he wanted to have a personal touch to the public service announcement. “I stuck with simplicity,” he said. “We just have a black background with someone sitting on a stool talking about drowsy driving. It seems very personal. It seems like it’s a one-on-one conversation. “You have some graphics on the side emphasizing words.
It’s just very simple.” Helping Dakotah with the PSA were friends Kennedy Watson-Holmes and Trey Wright. Emmy Award-winning director Alan Weiss oversaw the project, which was produced by Marilou Yacoub. “This is the first time that we’ve applied to this contest, Drive Safe Chicago for the National Road Safety Foundation,” class instructor Steven Weir said. “I was stoked when I found out one of my students won. Dakotah’s been really excited about it. “I think it’s a great opportunity for him, the class and the media arts program as a whole.” For the contest, Dakotah had to write a 30-second script for the PSA. “A film crew from New York comes here and we shoot the PSA,” Weir continued.

The film crew was at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater on Tuesday morning to film Dakotah and others who will be a part of the PSA. It also filmed a segment giving a behind-the-scenes look at filming a PSA for the syndicated teen television program entitled “Teen Kids News.” In addition to Dakotah, two other Indiana students – Kaitlin Webster of Hobart and Logan Conner of Fort Wayne – are finalists. Beginning Feb. 7, the finalists’ videos will be posted on the Chicago Auto Show’s Facebook page, where the public will be able to vote online for their favorite PSA. The winner will be announced Monday, Feb. 18, during Family Day at the Chicago Auto Show. The PSA also will air later this year on “Teen Kids News.” The three videos can be seen at h t t p s : / / w w w. f a c e book.com/ChicagoAut oShow The writer of the winning entry will receive a $2,000 prize from the National Road Safety Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes safe driving. In addition, the winning message will debut at the Chicago Auto Show before airing nationwide on more than 150 television stations. The contest was open to teens throughout Indiana and Illinois.
The topic of the dangers of drowsy driving was selected because it kills more than 5,000 people each year, and more than 500,000 people are injured. “We salute the three students who are finalists in the Drive Safe Chicago Contest,” Ray Carpelli Jr., the 2019 Chicago Auto Show chair, said in a news release. “Today’s new cars have technology to warn drivers if they appear to be drowsy, but the ultimate responsibility to be awake and alert is with the driver. It is an important message not only for young people but for all drivers, and we are pleased that our finalists showed such great creativity to communicate it.” The National Road Safety Foundation is a non-profit organization that produces traffic safety programs on distracted driving, speed and aggression, impaired driving, drowsy driving, driver proficiency, pedestrian safety and other safety issues. “Young people need more sleep than adults, yet too many of them don’t get enough sleep,” Foundation representative Michelle Anderson said in the release. “They think they can function and drive on minimal sleep, but they can’t. The Drive Safe Chicago is a way for teens to get important drowsy driving messages out to their peers and to all drivers.”

Hensley fills vacant MCS board seat NORTH MANCHESTER — A Manchester High School graduate is the newest member of the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools Board of Trustees. Mike Hensley assumed the Pleasant Township seat vacancy on the board left by Nate Trump during a short meeting Wednesday, Jan. 30. Hensley was one of four people interviewed by the board for the seat in a public meeting Wednesday, Jan. 23. Other candidates were Val Slack, Brian Rainer and Shawn Bellinger. Board member Rick Espeset nominated Hensley for the vacant seat. No other candidates were nominated, and after a motion to second the nomination, and a 5-0 vote, Hensley was appointed. Board members Brice Bedke, Steve Flack, Dave Terflinger, Ruth
Ayres and Espeset voted in favor of Hensley’s appointment. Ben Vanderpool was absent. Hensley, a 1984 MHS graduate, said he wasn’t sure he was going to submit a letter of interest in the position. “I didn’t know what Nate (Trump) was going to do, so I said let’s see if anyone goes after it,” Hensley said. “I threw my name in the hat. “It’s all about the kids, and that’s why I wanted to be on the school board.” Hensley has a deep appreciation for education with a degree in robotics electrical engineering from Vincennes University, a Bachelor’s Degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University and MBA from Saint Francis University, and is a member of the Learn More Center board. “When I think about education, it is economic development, national security, and it is hope for these kids,” he said. “I
believe everybody is born with a purpose, and in our schools, we need to do a better job finding their purpose and align them to those,” he said. As the newest member of the MCS board, Hensley shared some priorities he believes important for the longevity of Manchester schools. “I think the important things are, number one, getting a strong superintendent in there, someone who is going to be there …,” he said. “We have to make sure we have policies in place for a long-term plan. “I want MCS to still exist in the future when consolidation is talked about,” he continued. Hensley explained that student enrollment size is a problem if it become too large, thus, potentially adding more problems that already exist. “There are two important functions in our society, teachers and police, two of the lowest paid entities, with people
MIKE HENSLEY working dual jobs,” Hensley said. “If you look at what they are facing, the problems don’t start in the school, but they are there because the kids are there together. I don’t believe in 2,000 kids (in a school); 500 is hard enough.” Hensley, who teaches older adults, said what’s missing is critical thinking that goes with curriculum. “We look at it in the market place,” he said. “What type of students do we need for manufactureus to fill those spots? It should be giving them ability in an entrepreneurial way to create the economy. “They are going to
‘Evening with the Mayor’ series to begin By The Paper staff “An Evening with the Mayor,” a quarterly public meeting with Mayor Scott Long, will begin on Thursday, Feb. 21. The meeting will be at 6 p.m. at the Wabash County Historical Museum. It is designed to keep the community abreast of current and future projects, plans and interests. “I have wanted to host a town hall type of meeting since I took office,” Long said. “With assistance from my staff and their efforts, I now have the resources to begin hosting these casual meetings. “I believe that it is important to give citizens an informal setting to listen, learn and ask questions.” The topics for the February meeting include a status update on current and future projects, infrastructure projects and the future vision of Wabash. Long also will be asking residents’ input on what they suggest the city needs. Also at the February
meeting, Keith Gillenwater, CEO for Grow Wabash County, will address attendees on the Wabash economy. “I’m thrilled to be the first guest speaker during the inaugural ‘Evening with the
Mayor’ series,” Gillenwater said. “I look forward to sharing with Mayor Long and the citizens of Wabash about all the great economic and community development projects happening in our community.”
City Council President Eric Schoening will emcee the evening. Future dates and topics for the “Evening with the Mayor” series will be posted on the City of Wabash’s website.
be our future leaders. What I want to do is see that they are better leaders than we are.” As a board member, Hensley said he is ready to join the team and do his part. “I want to help build a strong team on the school board. I’m not a buy-in guy, I’m a be-in guy,” he said. “Transparency may be overused, but bad communication and surprises, people don’t like. There has to be a level of transparency, but there is also information that can’t be shared. “A school board is in place to represent the people for a reason.” With so many moving elements that go with running a school system, ensuring a strong education and helping students grow into future leaders, Hensley stressed the most important element. “In a nutshell, it’s all about the kids,” he
said. “I care about the stakeholders, property owners, taxpayers, of course. I care about all the good, hard working people in the
school working with these kids, and we have a lot of those people. “And, it’s all about the kids.”

France made a list of young women she had worked with while at Wabash and Southwood high schools, and also through Vocal Impact. “I just made a tentative list of girls who I knew were capable and responsible, that I could take them with me to New York City and wouldn’t have to worry about their conduct or anything like that,” she said, adding that she wanted the girls to realize what an honor it would be to perform at Carnegie Hall and not just see the event as “just a trip to New York City.” “It is quite an honor just to be invit-

rest of it,” she said, noting that another $9,000 is needed to cover the expenses. During the concert at Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium, the 250member choir will perform six pieces, mostly comprised of sacred music. “They’re all, obviously, for women’s voices,” Frances said of the music. “The music is so difficult. Most of the girls in high school, you don’t deal with this sort of music. We have all women’s choruses in our high schools, but

This is an event of extreme pride for everybody and deserving of the community’s recognition and support.” Since the fall of 2018 the choir has been rehearsing weekly at the Woman’s Clubhouse. “I’ve had a lot of people say, ‘I didn’t even know we had this choir,’” France said. “I honest to goodness just formed it so that I could give this opportunity to the 20 girls. It wasn’t a choir. It was nothing like Vocal Impact, where I sat down and planned it out. “I just reached out to girls that I knew could do it, and girls, too, who I knew would appreciate the experience.

In celebration of National Ag Day, students in grades 4-6 are encouraged to participate in an essay contest, sponsored by Indiana’s Family of Farmers. The essay, themed “Agriculture: Food for Life,” challenges students to think critically about the important role agriculture plays in their lives and the lives of those around them. Winners will receive $200 for first place and $100 for second place, and will be invited to attend a special recognition ceremony at the Indiana Statehouse on March 18. “Indiana’s family farmers are committed to providing an abundant supply of food and fiber, while
also caring for our natural resources,” said Bruce Kettler, Indiana State Department of Agriculture director. “We look forward to hearing from the next generation on how agriculture impacts their daily lives and world.” Under this year’s theme, students can write about a variety of aspects of agriculture. They could focus on the important role agriculture plays in the community, how food is produced or how farmers have adapted to feed a growing world population, to name a few. “This essay contest is a wonderful opportunity for students to express why agriculture is important to them,” said Jeanette Merritt, Director of Checkoff Programs for Indiana Pork. “We encourage stu-
dents all across the state to participate and look forward to honoring the winners at our National Ag Day celebration at the Statehouse.” Contestants must be Indiana residents, and only one essay can be submitted per person. Essays must be 12-point font, double-spaced, and cannot exceed 200 words. No handwritten essays will be accepted. Entries must be emailed to indianasfamilyoffarmers@g mail.com by Feb. 28, 2019. Essays will be evaluated based on the following criteria: material organization, vocabulary and style, neatness, and grammar, punctuation and spelling. For additional guidelines and rules, follow Indiana’s Family of Farmers on Facebook.
not women’s choruses that sing in four and six parts. So, it’s really very, very challenging. “I’m excited for that reason because it gives them a taste of what else is out there beside what they are working on in school.” In addition to preparing the local young women for the show, France also will be performing in the concert as part of a St. Mary’s alumni choir. “When I started Vocal Impact, I used to tell the kids, ‘You never know. Maybe someday we’ll be on the Carnegie Hall stage.’ Not in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined that we would get to do this. I’m kind of speechless right now because I’m in the throes of preparing for it. That’s really a once in a lifetime thing.” The community will get a chance to see the choir perform during a preview concert at 7 p.m. March 3 at the Honeywell Center’s Honeywell Room. “The idea for that is the community will get to see the girls who are going,” France said. “They will be singing, not the songs we’re going to be doing at the concert, but they’ll be doing a variety of Broadway songs.” While the concert is free, the group will be asking for freewill donations from those attending to help offset expenses. Anyone interested in donating to the trip may contact France at 765-517-2176 or via email at thefrances26@gmail.co m.

Commissioners open road project bids By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners opened bids for the County Road 1100 North reconstruction project during their Monday, Feb. 4 meeting. The first bid came from E&B Paving out of Huntington for $1,452,202.36. The second and final bid came from Phend and Brown out of
Leesburg for $1,287,982.28. T h e Commissioners took the bids under advisement. County Highway Superintendent John Martin presented the local roads and bridges grant from the state for signature, a matching grant agreement with the Indiana Department of Transportation for the 1100 North project. The grant is for up
to $1 million, which the county was awarded last fall. Sheriff Ryan Baker gave his weekly jail report. The average daily population at the jail was 111. The jail had 15 new bookings and made 12 transports. Forty-seven prisoners are housed in Miami County, and another 10 are being housed in Elkhart County. The current prisoner population at the jail was 120 as of
Monday morning, making for 177 total inmates. The jail was over capacity 100 percent of the time, Sheriff
Baker reported. The commissioners also: — Heard a 5311 Grant 2018 Fourth Quarter Report from
Living Well in Wabash County CEO Beverly Ferry. — Received a thank you from Roann Clerk-
Treasurer Bob Ferguson for the County’s help in completing the demolition of the old Roann School.
Wabash County YMCA names Gogolewski as new CEO...continued from the front page Wabash County YMCA stakeholders recognize that our Y is one of the premiere Y’s in the State of Indiana,” Y board member Jason Callahan said. “We sought a candidate who had extensive leadership and operational experience, a
deep commitment to community, and the ability to and willingness to work with stakeholders. We are thrilled with the extent to which Mr. Gogolewski meets these qualities.” Gogolewski pursued the Wabash County YMCA posi-
tion after being impressed by the facility and community support for the YMCA. Through deep partnerships between the local school systems, Parkview Wabash Hospital, the C o m m u n i t y Foundation, and others, the Wabash GOGOLEWSKI County YMCA has received national recognition for youth development programs. Gogolewski indicated that fostering those relationships and identifying needs will be a priority. “Over the next couple of years I hope to foster the culture of community that already exists in Wabash and the YMCA,” he said. “My goal is to try to address any community needs that are not being met or need some more support. I am a big believer in partnerships and making the most out of opportunities and resources for the greatest impact. “I know the Board and staff will help accomplish these goals sooner rather than later. There are many great things happening at the Wabash County YMCA and there is much more to come.”

MSD asks County Council for SRO officers By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com MSD of Wabash C o u n t y Superintendent Mike Keaffaber went before the County Council on Monday, Jan. 28, to go through the logistics of what it would look like to add the services of two school resource officers. Keaffaber brought with him figures of what the costs might be associated with the creation of two SRO positions, one for the south schools and one for the north schools in the district, which would be under the jurisdiction of the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department. “I believe this is a win-win for our county,” Keaffaber said. “If we would do this and have an officer on the north and an officer on the south, that would give two more officers in the county, especially for any types of emergencies outside of the schools. Plus, we have a little over 2,000 students in our six schools, and that is a percentage of our population.” According to Keaffaber’s numbers, an SRO agreement would cost the County Council, including the car, the uniform, the weapon, the radio, and health insurance,
$31,343 per officer. The agreement would then cost the school district $41,850. Those numbers are dependent upon whether the officers would need a single insurance plan or family insurance plan. Keaffaber described SRO agreements in other school districts. Wabash City Schools is supplied an officer with the help of the Wabash City Council. Peru Community Schools has a police department as part of its school district. The Peru City Council provides one officer, and the school provides the other. North Manchester is working on a combination, where it has different officers that go into the schools. Eastbrook Schools also has a deal in place with its council for an SRO. Keaffaber said if this proceeds, the school district would like to have officers in place by the start of the 2019-20 school year. The potential agreement would include the creation of new positions within the county, so it would have to go before the County’s Wage and Salary Committee. “I just think about those relationships you build,” Keaffaber said. “Not that a shoot-
ing could not happen at our school, because it could. But, yet, being able to provide those relationships with a uniformed officer … could possibly save lives with saying they’re not going to go this direction because they have another person in the school (that they have a relationship with). … I think it would be great for that purpose, also.” Council Chairman Kyle Bowman mirrored those sentiments. “Building the relationships, like you mention, it may be the only positive interaction they have with law enforcement,” Bowman said. “I think that’s very important, also.” The Council also Monday: — Heard a request from Central Dispatch Director Sandy Beeks for the hiring of two new dispatchers. Beeks explained that her current staff is stretched too thin. Council member Matthew Mize explained that the request would have to go before the Wage and Salary Committee, and that he would need more information, like comparisons of staffing numbers from surrounding counties, before he could make a decision.
— Heard a request from Sheriff Ryan Baker for the hiring of a new jail officer. Baker said sometimes one officer is left to
man the jail while other officers make prisoner transports. This request will also have to go before the Wabash and Salary
Committee. — Heard a request from Baker to give jail office administrator Connie Rich the title of matron. The jail
cook had most recently held that title, but Baker wanted to make the change to better align what the two’s job descriptions are.

Lady Norse capture sectional crown By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com
A season ago, Northfield’s girls basketball team entered the sectional as heavy favorites only to be upended by TriCentral in the title contest.
The Class A No. 4ranked Lady Norse made that heartbreak a distant memory Saturday night, routing county rival Southwood 58-31 to claim the program’s first sectional title since 1980. “It’s awesome,” Northfield coach
Melissa Allen said. “The girls have worked hard all season to get to this. I just couldn’t be prouder of them. We didn’t really think about (the TriCentral loss). We took it one game at a time. Last night was last night, and tonight was a new night. We
were ready to go.” Northfield (23-2) overcame somewhat of a slow start. Southwood matched the Lady Norse blow for blow in the early going, and took a 9-8 lead into the second quarter. Northfield took control from there,
outscoring the Lady Knights 23-6 in the second quarter to build a substantial lead by the half. “We just don’t have the firepower that they have,” Southwood coach Chad West said. “We just said ‘be within striking distance after four minutes.’ That was the goal, just to compete those first four minutes. We definitely exceeded that. We had the lead at the end of the first quarter. We came out ready to go. But, they’re a really good team, really smart. They were able to adjust. Back to back 3pointers from Ariel Dale and Kelcie Thomson helped give Northfield the lead for good at 15-9. The Lady Norse went on to outscore Southwood 16-6 the rest of the quarter to take a comfortable 3115 lead into the half. Another Dale trey, this one from the top of the key, put Northfield up 38-19 with 5:40 left in the third quarter. Dale stayed hot from distance, canning another triple at the 1:32 mark to give the Lady Norse a 47-21 lead. Northfield took a 48-25 lead into the fourth quarter, where

Photo by Joseph Slacian they outscored the Lady Knights 8-6 in the final stanza. Dale led Northfield with 26 points, four rebounds and three steals. She had 21 points through three quarters. “It means everything,” Dale said. “I’m just doing whatever I can, whatever it takes to get our team a win. That’s what my mindset was. I may not shoot the best, but we just had to keep pushing through. I needed to do that for my team.” Dale said last year’s loss to TC has remained in the back of her mind. “Our coaches told us not to take revenge, but honestly for us, we wanted to,” she
said. “It’s something where we needed to come out and get on top of them. We came out (Friday) and worked as a team to pound them.” Addi Baker added nine points and six rebounds in the win, and Thomson added eight points and five rebounds. Sierra Stout led Southwood (5-19) with nine points, four rebounds and two steals. Alissa Pershing added eight points, three rebounds, two steals and two assists, and Morgan Farr finished with six points, two steals and two assists. Northfield will advance to the Class A Tipton Regional (continued on page 11)

Manchester advances to finals By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com
NORTH MANCHESTER — The adage, “Regular season records don’t matter at tournament time, everyone is 0-0” was showcased Saturday night in the Sectional 37 semifinal game between Manchester and Lewis Cass. The host Squires entered the game with a 16-7 record, set to face the 1-21 Kings. M a n c h e s t e r appeared to have the game in hand with a 17-10 first quarter lead, but Cass used a 7-0 run to open the second quarter and tied it it up at 17-17. The Kings never went away, but the Squires held on for a 45-39 win to advance to the championship game played Monday, Feb. 4 against Oak Hill. “I was so impressed by … Lewis Cass for how hard they played
tonight,” Manchester coach Jake Everett said. “They deserve to be commended for how hard they played and executed tonight.” With the score tied 22-22 in the final seconds of the first half, Manchester’s Kennedy Fierstos hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer for a three point lead. In the second half, Cass tied the game midway through the fourth quarter and was within one possession of the Squires 12 times, but couldn’t get over the hump. Manchester turned a 37-37 tie with 5:48 left into the six point win by hitting 6-7 free throws down the stretch. “I’m proud of the grit we showed to not have our best shooting performance and to grind out a tough win,” Everett said. “The did what they had to do to give themselves an opportunity to play for a championship.”
Fierstos led the Squires with 20 points, followed by Kiera Hatfield with 11. Wabash vs. Oak Hill The Wabash Apaches had the unenviable task of facing Class 2A thirdranked Oak Hill in their sectional opening game. Oak Hill, 19-3 heading into the game, had no trouble with the Apaches, running away with a 51-20 win to advance to the championship game against Manchester. The Eagles led 8-1 after the first quarter and took a 23-11 advantage to the locker room at halftime. Wabash managed just two points in the third quarter and seven in the fourth to total 20 points for the game. For Wabash, Alivia Short led the way with seven points and three rebounds, followed by Tabatha Wagner with six points.

In other games from the Northfield sectional: Lady Norse top CC Northfield’s girls basketball team defeated Clinton Central 79-34 in the opening round of sectional play Thursday night. The Lady Norse built a 25-10 lead by
the end of the first quarter and never looked back. Ariel Dale led Northfield with 20 points, four assists, four rebounds and four steals. Kyra Kennedy added 17 points, four assists and two steals. Kelcie Thomson added 14 points, five assists, eight rebounds and six steals, and Ally Keaffaber finished with 10 points, two assists and two rebounds. Lady Norse top TC Northfield’s girls
The Apaches end the season with a 9-14 record and finished 45 in conference play. Oak Hill advanced to the semi-finals with a 54-23 win over North Miami on Friday night. Manchester vs. Rochester An anemic scoring start between Manchester and Rochester in their sectional opener improved as the game went along, especially for Manchester, as the Squires defeated the Zebras 38-29 Friday, Feb. 1. After nearly five minutes of scoreless basketball, Rochester started the scoring with a 3-pointer, followed by two free throws from Manchester’s Jirni Cripe. Rochester led 5-2 late in the quarter, but the Squires scored six straight points for an 8-5 lead. Manchester took control with a strong defensive effort in the second quarter and

Skyline Chili
WEATHER!
These oh-so-cold winter days do tend to change our appetites, pushing our palates to pursue that which will not only warm us but also comfort us and carry us through. This heightened desire for something warm and comforting always stirs a certain desire in me for chili. Likely tied to a childhood memory, there exists an uncertainty in my mind about it, which is very similar to chili’s own past! With one legend stating that Aztec Indians of Texas invented it - after they got so enraged by invading Spaniards that they cut them up, seasoned them with Chile peppers and ate them- oh my! Another legend insists that it was a recipe invented by cowboys and adventurers, who made it while out on the trail and, yet another claims it was a recipe that was born in a Texas prison in the late 1800's, where it became such a mainstay that Texas prisons were actually rated – by prisoners - by how good the chili was! In the early 1920's, Tom Kiradjieff - a Macedonian immigrant moved to Cincinnati t and opened a Greek food stand. However, since no one knew anything about Greek food, his stand failed miserably. Pressed to succeed, he changed the name of his spaghetti to Five-Way Chili and it became an instant success. Tom's Fiveway was made by combining a mound of spaghetti with chili, c h o p p e d onion, red kidney beans a n d shredded yellow cheese and maintained its popularity so well that it can still be found on menus at many Ohio eateries to this day. In the 1940's, Nicholas Lambrinides from Kastoria Greece also moved to Cincinnati but he was armed with his grandmother’s recipe, which was said to be as breath-
taking as the Cincinnati skyline, so Nicholas decided to call it Skyline Chili.
Laura Kurella
Nicholas’ chili became a popular dish that can still to this day be purchased in person, in cans and even online at: www.skylinechili.com. In the 60's, David Chasen of Chasen's restaurant in California made perhaps the most sought --after chili there ever was in America with some of the most famous people in the world going to great
Oh-so-easy and oh-so-comforting and delicious, this Shrimply Irresistible Chili Soup is one of my favorite ways to blend the comfort of an old recipe with one of my favorite things – shrimp – to create a new flavor favorite in chili weather cuisine – ah! Food stylist & photographer: Laura Kurella

lengths to get it, but Chasen was very secretive about his recipe and entrusted it to no one. He himself would come in every Sunday and whip up a batch that he would freeze for the following week because he believed that chili was always best when reheated. The only secret Mr. Chasen ever did reveal about his chili was to say, "It is a kind of bastard chili!" It’s not hard to believe there are so many people wanting to claim chili as their own. Who wouldn’t? Chili, when made with fresh and lean ingredients can offer a wide range of nutritiontomatoes that offer us superpowered antioxidants; spices that boost metabolism and improve circulation; onions that offer natural cleansers; garlic that offers natural antibiotics and beans (if you use them) that offer an excellent source of fiber (and entertainment!) Here are four classic ways to take the chill out of your winter day. Enjoy!
2-1/2 pounds lean ground beef 1- 15 ounce can tomato sauce 1-1/3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste 5 tablespoons chili powder 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon allspice 1-1/4 teaspoons salt 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion salt 2 teaspoons steak sauce 1 quart water Brown meat. Place all ingredients in a crock-pot, mix well. Cook for 12 or more hours on low.
Shrimply Irresistible Chili Soup 1 can Chili, your favorite style 1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion 1/4 cup coarsely chopped green pepper 2 cloves garlic, pressed 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon oregano 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon parsley 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon cayenne 6 cups chicken broth 1/2 cup hearty red wine 14 ounce canned tomatoes, diced 1/4 cup steel-cut oats 1/4 cup wheat berries (or more oats) 1 pound medium peeled and de-veined raw shrimp (or other seafood) In a large Dutch oven, combine all ingredients except shrimp. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Just before serving, rinse shrimp, drain then add to pot. Cook only until shrimp are no longer translucent. Add more chicken broth or red wine if mixture becomes too thick. Serve hot. This dish is best if made one day before serving because it allows flavors to better develop and mingle. If you plan to do so, do not add shrimp until day you plan to serve it. To do so, bring soup to a boil, reduce to a simmer and then add shrimp (or other seafood) and simmer until shrimp is no longer translucent. Approximate servings per recipe: 8.

City returns $3 million-plus to General Fund in 2018 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The City of Wabash returned more than $3 million in unspent funds to the General Fund at the end of 2018. With funds not spent by the various city departments, as well as tax caps that had to be figured into the budget, $3.296 million wasn’t spent, Mayor Scott Long told The Paper of Wabash County. The state requires municipalities to figure into their budget funds to cover the difference between the projected amount of property taxes available and the amount actually available because of various property tax caps. “All department heads are cognizant of their budget and spending,” he said.
“We anticipate expenditures and budget accordingly. Together we are consistently seeking ways to reduce operating expenses without sacrificing the quality of place for our citizens.” A major savings came via an energy conservation plan adopted by the city that included the installation of energy-efficient lighting. “All the buildings have been retrofitted with LEDs to include the exterior lighting at the parks,” Long said. The change resulted in more than $10,000 in savings. “That $10,000 figure was just on the downtown streetlights,” Long said. “I haven’t dived into it to see, but I’m sure it’s probably more than that. That was just the average of those
downtown street lights.” Savings also were realized through the city’s health care costs, and there is less than a 1 percent increase in those fees expected this year. The majority of the money returned goes back to the city’s general fund allow ClerkTreasurer Wendy Frazier to invest more money and save for the future. “The budgetary process can be very challenging and sometimes difficult to achieve,” she said. “The collaboration, knowledge and frugal spending truly helps Mayor Long and me achieve the city’s goal. Taxpayers first.” The city has at least two projects which will call for expenses of more than $100,000. Those projects include work on cleaning up the for-
mer GDX Automotive location – the city has budgeted $250,000 from its Rainy Day Fund and another $250,000 from its CEDIT Brownfield Fund for the work – and providing matching funds for a grant the city received to build an overpass of the Norfolk Southern railroad track. The city received an $8.56 million grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation for the overpass project. As part of its match, the city must provide $2.2 million, some of which will be paid by Norfolk Southern. Long told The Paper in December that he expected the city’s portion of the grant to come from a variety of funds, including the Rainy Day and Stormwater funds.

There have been many imitators, but there is only one duo in North America sanctioned by Dan Aykroyd and Judith Belushi Pisano to carry the torch first lit by the iconic duo of Aykroyd and John Belushi on “Saturday Night Live” in 1978 and later immortalized in the eponymous blockbuster 1980 film directed by John Landis. The performing duo, comprised of Kieron (Elwood Blues) Lafferty and Wayne (Jake Blues) Catania, were hand-picked by Aykroyd, Belushi
Kieron Lafferty (left) and Wayne Catania performed on the Ford Theater stage in 2016. The Paper file photo
Pisano and original Blues Brothers Musical Director Paul Shaffer. Belushi, referring to the duo as anything but an imitation of the original act said, “Kieron and Wayne are not imitators, they live the music and embody the characters. They understand the spirit
of The Blues Brothers and revel in the joy of being Jake and Elwood.” Backed by the allstar Intercontinental Rhythm & Blues Band, The Official Blues Brothers Revue is a multi-media interactive experience showcasing their undeniable talent in songs that comprise a virtual encyclopedia of rock, blues and soul. Audiences of all ages have been on their feet as the duo delivers classics such as “Soul Man,” “Gimme Some Lovin,” “Sweet Home Chicago” and “Shout.” One critic recently raved, “…the roof raising show has the same down home energy as any of Aykroyd and Belushi’s performances. Lesser performers might be tempted to allow their characterizations to veer into parody—but not Catania and Lafferty, baby!” Ticket prices are $55, $29 and $19, and may be purchased online at www.honeywellcenter.org or by calling the Honeywell Foundation Box Office at 260-5631102.

Kugler bids farewell to YMCA By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com After 2,801 days, Clint Kugler’s time as the Wabash County YMCA CEO has come to a close. The Kugler era ended on Thursday, Jan. 31. He submitted his resignation in November to join the Indiana Youth Institute where he will serve as Vice President of College Career and C o m m u n i t y Initiatives. The Indiana Youth Institute, which was founded by the Lilly Endowment, has been in existence for 30 years. “In the last 15 years they’ve been in the college and career space, doing some things to help the youth workers and communities help kids on their journey,” he told The Paper of Wabash County during a reception in his honor in the YMCA lobby. “It’s been one element, and so by bringing the Promise connecting that, there will be a new division of the Indiana Youth Institute. It will be the College Career and Community Initiative Division to continue to activate the Promise throughout the state.” But it also has another mission. “It will lean in and work on helping to
promote college and career community access for kids all over Indiana,” he continued. Promise Indiana, which has its roots in Wabash County, is an initiative of comprehensive activities for youth and families to build hope for their future and create community college-going culture. The Promise is distinctly ‘Hoosier,’ owned by community leaders, crafted to align with the state’s aspirations, and rooted in localities’ particular understandings of what is required to set all of their children on a path to educational success, according to the group’s website. Kugler will be based in Indianapolis, but will have the ability to work remotely from anywhere. He is proud of his work over the last 7 ½ years at the Wabash facility. “When I came to the Y, it was a first generation Y,” Kugler said. “No one had really worked for a Y outside of this one. One of the big things I knew we needed to lean into is what the culture of the Y is, what the mission is going to be. “We’re not just trying to sell memberships or programs. We’re trying to help people see the fullness of what it can be. It’s an organization that’s committed to enhanc-

Photo by Joseph Slacian ing the lives of people. It’s committed to making the community stronger. “I feel we’ve made some huge strides culturally in caring for people first. As a result of that, we’ve been able to do some really innovative programming whether it’s working with the schools around water safety initiatives, whether it’s the out of school time programming, SPARK and helping kids get on track with their reading. We’ve got great senior programs; things are happening here for all ages. Creating a place where community happens is a big piece.” Kugler said he will miss interacting with the people of Wabash. “People that I’ve had the opportunity to
work with on a daily basis,” he said. “The opportunity for folks to come here and engage on a daily basis. The opportunity to work collaboratively and cooperatively with other community leaders here in Wabash and how we can make this place better.” The YMCA Board of Directors has reportedly completed a national search for Kugler’s replacement, and an announcement should be forthcoming in the near future. “It’s been my absolute pleasure and honor to be a part of this great community,” Kugler said. “I look forward to still residing here and believe that the Y is in a place that will continue to make a difference in this community for years to come.”

Archivist to speak to NM Historical Society By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — On Monday, Feb. 11, the North Manchester Historical Society will welcome Jeanine Wine who will present the program, “Preserving Cultural Heritage through 3D Digitization.” The program will be in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest Retirement Center, 2201 East St., at 6:30 p.m. It is open to the public at no cost and will be enjoyable for audiences of all ages. Many institutions are currently digitizing unique collections as part of a new preservation process for artifacts. The IUPUI University Library Center for Digital Scholarship has teamed with M a n c h e s t e r University’s archives to scan objects from Manchester’s ethnographic art collection. Manchester
Jeannine Wine’s student, Zoe Vorndran, works in the archives.
alumni and friends, who served the international community, primarily within the continents of Africa and Asia, donated these art objects. Wine has been working with IUPUI University Library
staff and MU students to digitally preserve these irreplaceable artifacts. She has been archivist for the M a n c h e s t e r University Archives and Peace Studies Church of the
Brethren Collection since 2006. She is a 1976 graduate of Manchester College and holds two master’s in the areas of Psychology and Divinity from M i l l e r s v i l l e University and Bethany Theological Seminary, respectively. Jeanine returned to her alma mater after serving as secretary/office manag-
Student Eli Smith works in the archives. Photos provided
er of the Conservation Department at The Art Institute of Chicago for 16 years. Wine will describe the scanning process and will demonstrate how cultural heritage can be preserved through 3D printing and the online use of 3D digi-
tal files. Learn about any obstacles digital preservers had to overcome, procedures that were established, and any ramifications of this growing technique. Digitization of cultural heritage is crucial in preserving, restoring and publishing information
on appreciated cultures through up-todate technologies, but it also creates excellent educational materials for future generations. All are welcome to attend this program and learn about a preserving history through new technology.
Frances Slocum Chapter DAR to meet Feb. 12 Wabash County Frances Slocum Chapter, INDAR will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12, at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, 1241
Manchester Ave., Wabash. The program will be given by Sarah Siders, Miami Nation of American Indians. Prospective members and guests are always
welcome to attend. DAR membership is open to any woman 18 years of age, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution. Those having ques-
tions about their family history lineage information may contact www.dar.org or Linda Thompson at 260-563-4661 or Barbara Amiss at 260982-4376.

Be wary of thin ice From the DNR
I n d i a n a Conservation Officers are advising citizens across the state of the potential hazards of being on frozen lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams this winter. Recent temperature drops across the state have brought about sheets of ice across some bodies of water. I n d i a n a Conservation Officers ask everyone to be vigilant and keep a watchful eye on neighborhood retention ponds, lakes and other waterways for those who may venture out and find themselves in trouble. Every winter, thousands of Hoosiers safely enjoy fishing, skating, hiking, or just sliding around on frozen ponds and lakes. And every year, people drown after falling through ice. Just like re-learning
how to drive on snow versus clear roads, some Hoosiers need to re-learn how to safely have fun on ice. I n d i a n a Conservation Officers want citizens to put safety first. Here are a few tips to remember when considering standing on or walking on a frozen lake or pond: No ice is safe ice. Test the thickness of the ice with an ice auger. At least 4 inches of ice is recommended for ice fishing; 5 inches is recommended for snowmobiling. If you don’t know… .don’t go. Wear life jackets or flotation coats. Carry ice hooks and rope gear. When on the ice, leave a note with a friend or family member of your whereabouts. Don’t test the thickness of the ice while
alone. I n d i a n a Conservation Officers say the best rule of thumb is, when walking on ice, to believe you are “walking on thin ice.” Wearing a life jacket is especially important when on the ice. If you fall through, a life jacket will keep your head above the water until help arrives. “Ice is beginning to form on smaller bodies of water. We would like to ask that the community keep a close eye out for children in your area who
may play on the ice. It takes extreme low temperatures and quite some time to form several inches of ice. We have not had those conditions consistently statewide this winter,” said Indiana Conservation Officer Max Winchell. The coating of snow that Indiana just received also can make for treacherous ice conditions. The snow can insulate the ice, causing it to freeze at a slower rate. When the snow and rain that just fell
across Indiana freeze into ice, it is never as strong as solid, clear ice. If you see a pet or other animal in distress on the ice, please do not go after it. This can often end in tragedy. Contact your local emergency response personnel, who are equipped to make a rescue on thin ice. Some bodies of water will appear to be frozen solid but actually can have thin ice in several unsuspecting areas. Flowing water, such as rivers and streams, should be avoided when covered by a layer of ice. Water that is surrounded by sand may freeze with inconsistencies in the thickness of the ice. Underground springs, wind, waterfowl and other animals can also keep areas of ice thin.

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “With Valentine’s Day this month, here is a thought to ponder: People come into your life for a REASON, a SEASON, or a LIFETIME. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a season, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn, they bring an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real…but only for a season. Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!
