County rejects flawed ballot requests October 10, 2018

Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash County Election Board plans to reject any request for absentee ballots received via a flawed absentee ballot request application issued by the Indiana Democratic Party. Rather, the board will contact those requesting the application, providing them with a proper request application and a self-addressed stamped envelope to return it to the Wabash County Clerk’s office. The board also plans to bill the State Democratic Committee for any expense involved in correcting the error.

The move, unanimously approved Tuesday morning, Oct. 2, comes in spite of a directive last week from Secretary of State Connie Lawson and the Indiana Election Division to accept the flawed ballots. However, the Plain Dealer is reporting the decision has since been reversed. The Paper of Wabash County was not able to verify that claim by its deadline. The Indiana Democratic Party mailed thousands of defected absentee ballot request forms to likely Democratic voters in September, according to Lawson. The mailing didn’t contain mandatory instructions on how to fill them out.

Salamonie State Forest to be logged By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

Salamonie State Forest will soon have fewer trees among its landscape. There’s still some marking to do, but the DNR will soon let bids for a logging project at the state forest. “We (still) have to pull together all the information, advertise it and do the actual closed bid sale,” Salamonie property manager Amanda Smith said. “Then, (the contractor) will have a two-year contract. “We’ve been marking the sale for three years now.” Smith said the logging is what’s known as an “improvement harvest.” It’s done to improve the spacing of trees, to take out some of the dead, dying, poor-quality, or damaged trees, and improve wildlife habitat.” It depends on the property size in terms of how often a state forest is logged, but Smith said the last such timber harvest at Salamonie was done in 2009. Where the lumber ends up depends on which logger or sawmill ends up winning the

bid. It can go anywhere from local sawmills to all over the world. This harvest is single-tree bidding and group selection, and under those circumstances, Salamonie will not be replanting new trees to replace the removed ones. “There’s enough of a native seed bed back in the soil now that our native hardwoods will be coming up,” Smith said. “A lot of what we take out is ‘OK, there’s three trees scrunched together closely’ and we take out one to improve the spacing of the other two.” The Indiana Forest Association in August voiced concerns over the nature of logging that will take place, saying that it may do more harm than good. “Removing a lot of pine and adjoining hardwoods all at once will change the character of the forest to make it much sunnier, inviting in a lot of invasives and creating a virtual thicket that will be hard for hikers, horseback riders, and hunters to walk through,” IFA said in a press release. The IFA said its primary (continued on page 4)

“Absentee ballot request applications are to be returned to the clerk in one way or another,” County Election Board member Nan Roe said. “These, unfortunately, were issued by the State Democratic Party. They were being returned to the State Democratic Party headquarters. They have no business going through there after the person fills out their application. That’s to come to us. “So those are technically invalid applications.” Counties were to initially consider them invalid, but Lawson later rescinded that decision and directed counties to

accept them. “I personally think that’s a travesty,” Roe said. “The Democrats and Republicans both know the rules. The rules say that they’re to be returned to the clerk’s office. They’ve been given a special dispensation. I guess we have no choice in the matter. “I think it was the responsibility of the State Democratic Party to fix this problem; they created it. They should be reissuing them if they want to, or whatever, instead of sticking the expense to the taxpayers to fix this problem, and that is essentially what is happening. (continued on page 4)

County unveils new voting procedure By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A new voting procedure will greet Wabash County voters during the 2018 General Election. The procedure was demonstrated Tuesday morning, Oct. 2, to members of the Wabash County Election Board who, during the demonstration, also completed the required election machine testing. “Before, when you went to the

polls to vote, the judge set the machine,” County Clerk Elaine Martin explained. “You know, we are a Vote Center county, so any voter in the county can go to any location and all of the precincts are on the Infinity Panels.” The judge would then determine what precinct the voter lived in and set the ballot accordingly. However, starting this election an encoder will scan in the (continued on page 4)

The business, located at 70 W. Market St., had a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by family, friends and representatives of the City of Wabash, Grow Wabash County and other organizations. “This is an exciting

day to do a ribbon cutting for a new business,” Keith Gillenwater, president and CEO of Grow Wabash County said. “I know this has been a dream of yours to get to this point and open up a storefront. There’s no better place to do it than in downtown Wabash. “An arts-based business is a great fit. It fits with everything else we’ve got going on.” Mayor Scott Long

also welcomed her to the downtown. “It’s been a long time coming for Nicole,” he said. “It’s a great business to have downtown. It’s not often I get to photobomb senior pictures, but she allows me to do that, too.” Howard thanked God, as well as family and friends for supporting her in her efforts. “Like they said, this is a long time coming,” she said. “I’ve taken baby steps. My husband (Caton) has been behind me 100 percent.” Howard began her professional photography career in July 2000 working for local photographers. In 2002 she decided to venture out on her own and became Nicole A. Howard Photography. For the last 15 years she has been working out of a small studio in her home where storage of props and backgrounds was minimal. In search of a larger space, she decided she wanted to keep the heart and soul of her business in Wabash. When 70 and 74 W. Market St. became available, everything fell into place. She purchased the building in December 2017 and since then she and family members have been working to restore the building and make necessary updates. Although her main photography focuses on senior portraits, newborns, children, weddings and business professionals, she also works with local businesses to provide social media images.

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Legendary guitar player Billy F Gibbons will return to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater on Saturday, Oct. 20. This time, however, it won’t be with his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bandmates Dusty Hill and Frank Beard from ZZ Top. It will be with a few musicians he put together to tour and promote his new solo album, “The Big Bad Blues.” “Our touring outfit is Matt Sorum on the skins, Austin ‘Lefthand’ Hanks on guitar and that’s about it,” Gibbons told The Paper of Wabash County in an Internet interview. “We also got another ace sixstring technician, Elwood Francis, filling in some blanks. We’re keeping it basic bare-bones and bluesy.” “The Big Bad Blues,” Gibbons’ second solo album, was released Sept. 21 on Concord Records. “The first one, ‘Perfectamundo,’ was catalyzed by an invitation to play at the Havana Jazz Festival,” Gibbons said, talking about his solo projects. “We thought it would be appropriate if we worked up some Afro-Cuban sounds for that interesting gathering and it began to percolate. We figured that, well, as long as we’re at it, we might as well let the studio tape machines roll. “The new one is fulfilling a request from Concord Records honcho, John Burk. JB said, ‘How ‘bout a blues album?’ and we responded, ‘Coming right up.’ “These solo projects are just another way to get out there and play and that’s what a good time is all about. You ring, we bring, so to speak.” The new album features two Muddy Waters songs, with the rest written by Gibbons. Some have compared the album to early works of ZZ

BILLY F GIBBONS Top. The Paper asked Gibbons what concertgoers should expect: A lot from the new album with some ZZ Top material intermixed? “Hey, you’re leading the witness here,” he joked. “We’re going to play numbers from ‘The Big Bad Blues’ album and as far as other material is concerned, let’s just leave it as ‘Stay tuned.’ “We’d love to tell you what we intend to play; however, the fact is we never know. We just let it flow when we plug in and tune up. Spontaneity is its own reward.” The blues have been a major influence in Gibbons life and musical career. “My Dad, a professional entertainer, took me into a B.B. King recording session when I turned 7, suspecting a firsthand connection would be a definite influence,” Gibbons said. “That was the moment I knew what I wanted to do: play

electric guitar and get down with it. My Mom took me to see Elvis Presley a few years before that so the die was cast early on. “As far as influences are concerned, it’s quite a long list, so here’s just the tip of the iceberg: Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, the aforementioned B.B. King and the other Kings – Albert and Freddie King. “Of course, there’s Keith Richards and Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck from across the pond. I just dig all those true blue ‘git down’ cats.” When not playing music, Gibbons has ventured into acting, having a periodic role in the television series “Bones” as the street musician father of Angela Montenegro, one of the characters on the series. “The producers were casting for a bearded, guitar slinger who looked like he might be a cranky sort,”

the Paradise Spring Historical Park. Tickets for the show, which range

from $49 to $275, are still available at the Honeywell Center Box Office.

Gibbons said. “That typecasting was the easy part.” Another role may be in the offing. “There’s now a piece underway with our big screen pal, Billy Bob Thornton and a long-time sidekick, J.P. Shellnutt, where we go way back to the desert Old West,” Gibbons c o n t i n u e d . “Cadillacs, cactus, horses, telephones and cantinas. We’re ready for the closeup, Mr. Demille.” As for the future of ZZ Top, the band is making plans for its upcoming golden anniversary in 2019. “The ZZ fans can anticipate some nonstop rambunctiousness as we start celebrating our 50th year

County rejects flawed ballot requests “This is not the responsibility of the taxpayers of Wabash County, or any other county, to fix this mistake. They’ve been doing this for years. They know the rules. They’ve been following the rules other years. This year they directed them to come back through them and it’s not right.” Some counties, Roe noted, have already begun rejecting the applications. Wabash County did initially, Clerk Elaine Martin said, noting she and

Deputy Clerk Teresa Ehret were operating off of Lawson’s original directive. They contacted the voter and noted the initial application was flawed and asked them to fill out and return a proper ballot. When they received a second directive to accept the applications, they stopped contacting the applicants. Martin explained the process to the board, noting that the request was to go to the Indiana Election Division or to the county voter

Before

sentative on the board, also felt the problem shouldn’t have happened. Martin said it ultimately falls to the local election board on what to do with requests. “The county election board is charged with the processing of absentee ballots,” she said. “In counties our size, it falls to the clerk’s office. The election board isn’t in here Monday through Friday.” Under state statute, the requests must be processed on the day they are received.

About 30 requests have been received as of Monday, Oct. 1, she said. Absentee requests must be received by Oct. 29, so more could come in. Martin said the matter could have future impact on the election. “If any of these are invalid, we have a very contentious election in North Manchester right now, in the referendum,” she said. “We have the school board, we have the MSD school board and we have a threeway race for the

Lagro Township (trustee). If any of those races are anywhere near close …” Board members asked which would be worse in that case, accepting or rejecting the requests? “It depends on who the winner and loser is,” Martin said. “We have a tight race in any of those four that I just mentioned … if the loser says, ‘You know, I really want a recount and guess what, I don’t think those ballots in question should have been honored,’ that’s the potential worsecase scenario.”

...continued from the front page focus is the management of state forests because, while they make up only three percent of Indiana’s forests, they still provide some of the largest blocks of intact forest in the state, and are the only state-owned

public lands managed by the Department of Natural Resources, where wilderness recreation, including primitive camping, backpacking, long distance hiking, orienteering and foraging is possible.

“We must speak out because the DNR has increased the amount of logging in these forests by 400 percent over the last 13 years – three to four times more logging than was ever done in these forests for the 102 years they

existed prior to 2005,” the IFA said. “At the current authorized rate of 14 million board feet being logged per year, the DNR will have logged through all tracts of the state forests within another 12 to 13 years.”

Friends of Salamonie Forest will have a meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 17, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Huntington CityTownship Library, located at 255 W. Park Drive in Huntington.

room keys, as well as a paper receipt. The card contains the voter’s information and it is inserted into the voting machine. The machine will then display the proper ballot for the voter, including such things as school board races, judge retention questions and referendum question. It also makes allowance for any write-in candi-

dates. The judge will take the voter card and return it to the pile for the next voter. The card can only be used one time, and must then be reprogrammed. The encoder only reads a driver’s license. Those who have other forms of identification, such as a passport, military ID card or stateissued ID card, the clerk will manually type in the voter’s

information to receive the receipt and the vote card. Once the voting process is completed, the judge retains the paper receipt, which will serve as a paper trail for the election.

Roe was concerned rejecting the application would create more work for the clerk’s office. Martin said it would, but that she would rather the board instruct the office to make a decision now rather than wait until closer to the election. The board also tried to make clear it wasn’t a RepublicanDemocrat issue. “I would feel the same way if the Republican Party had done this,” Martin said. “Rules are rules.

We just purchased them and they were given to us in the last two or three weeks.” The encoders cost the county $110, or roughly $1,400 to purchase 13 of them. The number of vote cards per vote center will depend on the number of machines at the center. “Lagro won’t get as many as the Methodist Church here in town,” Martin said. Deputy Clerk Teresa Ehret said if a Vote Center has three machines, it will get six or seven vote cards. If it has six machines, the Vote Center will get about 10 cards. “And then the judges will just keep recycling them back to the clerk station,” she said. Poll workers will be trained on the new system later this month, Martin said.

LIFE Center has annual banquet Article provided

This year’s 11th annual LIFE Center banquet took place Thursday, Sept. 13, at the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall. There were approximately 130 in attendance. Free tickets were provided to all local pastors and we were blessed to have several in attendance. Pete Dupont was the emcee for the night with prayers provided by Pastor Kurt Stout of the First Brethren church of Manchester and Mike Keaffaber, Superintendent of MSD of Wabash County. The night began with Pete and Max Meyer leading in song “Jesus Loves Me.” The theme of the night was “Life Savers”: Everyone involved in any way with LIFE Center is a LIFE SAVER. The staff of LIFE Center, Executive Director Cheryl Meyer, Nurse Manager Amanda Holmes, and Client Service Manager Jeni Friedersdorf gave the Center’s overview report for the past year. It was reported that the LIFE Center had provided services

to 112 clients in their clothing room with 2,690 items given. There were 51 classes taught in which eight car seats and seven Pac-n-plays were earned. Car seats and Pac-n-plays are made possible through a grant from the C o m m u n i t y Foundation. LIFE Center helped 111 clients with pregnancy tests. Also, 49 ultra sounds were performed after the new Ultra sound machine was delivered (end of September 2017) and training completed (mid-October). Limited OB Ultrasounds are done during the first trimester per criteria. The heart starts beating at approximately 22 days. Current and past volunteers were asked to stand and be recognized along with board members. Everyone was invited to stop in the center at any time to receive a tour. It was also reported that the Indiana Department of Health released the annual termination of pregnancy report. It shows that abortion is still a popular choice in Indiana. For the second consecutive

Guest speaker Heather Gemmen Wilson and members of the LIFE Center staff pose before the banquet. Photo provided year, Wabash County is showing a decrease in abortion with 13 being reported in 2017 down one from 2016. Another study reported was that of the Pro-life pregnancy resource centers. It is estimated that 2,750 pregnancy resource centers in America are doing a whole lot for free. This study found that the centers did an estimated $161 million in free services last year alone. They consulted with 883,700 people in need, administered 679,600 pregnancy tests, and 400,100 ultrasound

screenings. They taught 295,900 people in parenting and prenatal classes, and helped 24,100 women struggling after an abortion. It is estimated that last year, pregnancy centers directly touched 2 million people through their various services. Not one of these centers 67,400 volunteers took a dime of government money. The guest speaker for the evening was Heather Gemmen Wilson. She is the author of the bestselling books “Learn to Read Bible” and

“Startling Beauty.” Gemmen Wilson shared her story of being a rape survivor who raised her daughter who was conceived out of rape. Her book, “Startling Beauty,” tells of her journey from rape to restoration. She speaks internationally on the subject of hope and forgiveness. She said, “It has been over a decade since the rape, and I’ve experienced many life changes since then. I gave birth to a precious baby girl, conceived that fateful night, and

INDOT reminds Hoosiers to keep campaign signs out of rights-of-way By The Paper staff As the election approaches, the Indiana Department of Transportation reminds Hoosiers that campaign signs are prohibited from state right-of-way according to Indiana Code 9-21-46. INDOT personnel are required by state law to remove all unauthorized signs within the state right-of-way. Areas that should remain sign-free include: Intersections Interchanges Rights-of-way that run parallel to highways Where the right of way is not clearly marked, boundaries may be estimated as the fence line, the back of the ditch or behind utility poles. INDOT personnel will remove campaign signs and other illegal signs from right-ofway—pursuant to code

—as they are encountered in normal highway maintenance activities. Crews may also remove a specific sign if it presents an immediate safety risk, such as being too close to the roadway or creating a sight obstruction. Campaign signs

placed off the right-ofway will not be removed. Removed signs will be taken to the nearest INDOT facility. Campaign signs may be claimed by the owner between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through

Friday, except for holidays. INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews. To report signs placed in the right-ofway, contact INDOT customer service at http://www.indot4u. com or 1-855-463-6848.

the same easy access to local, organic and specialty foods that big cities often have. They also understood, firsthand, the difficulties that come with specialty diets and nutrition. That’s why they founded The Market on a mission to see that each and every customer not only discovered the answers to their own health issues, but were also offered every possible resource for a solution. “I truly hope that every individual who came to The Market while I was there got the help and answers they needed,” Mrs. Price said. “Health food is my passion and I believe that it really showed when it came to providing for

my customers. Most of them became like family, just like my staff did.” The Price’s would like to thank all of their previous and current staff for their hard work and dedication to Cathy’s Natural Market. They know that the success of The Market would never have been possible without the help of each employee along the way and they are excited that the staff will mostly remain the same throughout the transition of owners. “I was blessed with some really great employees who have become some of my best friends and who have also helped me through so much,” Mrs. Price said. “I am excited to see what

this next step of life has in store for my family, but I know I will never forget all the customers who supported my dream of Cathy’s Natural Market and helped me build the business into what it’s become today. I will never be able to thank everyone who’s helped me, enough.” In the near future, the Prices’ plans include spending time with their son, A.J., who is expected to graduate from Wabash High School in the spring, and visiting their daughter, Ashley in Columbus, Ohio. In a few years they hope to be traveling the country in a RV with their golden retriever Benny and riding their motorcycles.

The vigil ispartof October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a month dedicated to raising awareness for all affected by domestic violence. Designated by Congress in 1989, it was sanctioned by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence with the intent to connect advocates across the nation who are working to end domestic

violence by remembering those who have died, celebrating survivors and creating awareness to end the cycle of violence â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too often people think they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know someone whose life has been touched by domestic violence, onlytolaterhearthat theirfriend,co-worker or church member has been battered,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Wilk, Hands of Hopedirector.â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never know when someone will reach out to you for help and just knowing the 24 hour hotline number to give them can be a life changer.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to talk about domestic violence because if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t then it becomes normalized andit should never be

normal or acceptable toemotionally,verbally, physically, sexually or financially control or abuse someone else,â&#x20AC;? Wilk said. Education on the impact domestic violence has on individuals and families is important because there are many who suffer directly or indirectly.

Secondhand smoke can be dangerous, official says By The Paper staff

According to the Surgeon General, exposure to secondhand smoke from burning tobacco products causes disease and premature death among nonsmokers. There is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke, and even brief exposure can cause immediate harm. Studies have shown that smoke-free laws that prohibit smoking in public places like bars and restaurants help improve the health of workers and the general population, according to Dan Gray, director of the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition.. Some of these improvements in health outcomes, such as reductions in hospital admissions for heart attacks, begin to be realized shortly after the laws take effect. The National Toxicology Program estimates that at least 250 chemicals in secondhand smoke are known to be toxic or carcinogenic (cancer causing), he noted in a news release. Secondhand smoke contains a number of poisonous gases and

chemicals, including hydrogen cyanide (used in chemical weapons), carbon monoxide (found in car exhaust), butane (used in lighter fluid), ammonia (used in household cleaners), and toluene (found in paint thinners) Some of the toxic metals contained in secondhand smoke include arsenic (used in pesticides), lead (formerly found in paint), chromium (used to make steel), and cadmium (used to make batteries) Secondhand smoke has been designated as a known human carcinogen (cancercausing agent) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Toxicology Program and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Gray said in the release. The National Institute

for Occupational Safety and Health has concluded that secondhand smoke is an occupational carcinogen Secondhand smoke is composed of side stream smoke (the smoke released from the burning end of a cigarette) and exhaled mainstream smoke (the smoke exhaled by the smoker). Because side stream smoke is generated at lower temperatures and under different conditions than mainstream smoke, it contains higher concentrations of many of the toxins found in inhaled cigarette smoke. It is for this reason that states and communities pass comprehensive smoke-free laws, he said, to protect the welfare of its citizens and assure a healthier environment.

Indiana Landmarks offers free look at oldest house in Wabash By The Paper staff Indiana Landmarks invites the public to tour the oldest house in Wabash on Oct. 27, from 2 to 4 p.m. The Landmark Look at the Alber House, 45 E. Sinclair St., is free with an online reservation. The preservation organization restored the exterior of the house and is listing it for sale. Philip Alber, with help from his brother, built his home in just 10 days in 1849. An immigrant from Lichtenstein where he made his living as a mason, Alber used local brick and stone. The family lived on the upper floor and turned the lower level into a German-style café that opened to a backyard beer garden. Alber was locally known for his brewing skills and along with a business part-

ner founded the Reddig & Alber Brewing Co. Visitors will see a wide central hall typical of the Federal style, original wood staircases, wide-plank wood floors on the main level, and a limestone floor on the lower level, where hand-hewn wood beams remain from the Bavarian café days. The 1,600square-foot house has three levels, with a living room, kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms, and one full and one half bathroom. Indiana Landmarks acquired the house to prevent its demolition and restored the exterior with support from the City of Wabash, the Efroymson Family Fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, and the Alber family. “The house is for sale with a covenant

that protects the historic exterior. On the unrestored interior, the buyer is free to make changes that suit twenty-first century lifestyles,” says Paul Hayden, director of Indiana L a n d m a r k s ’ Northeast Field Office in Wabash and manager of the restoration. Hayden notes that the historic house has no working restrooms and is not accessible to people with mobility issues. While the Landmark Look is free, a reservation is required. For details or to make a reservation, visit the tours and events tab at www.indianalandmarks.org or call 317639-4534. Those who make a reservation will receive suggestions for dining in historic settings in Wabash before or after the Landmark Look.

Voices of Recovery captivates Honeywell audience Of all the stories and anecdotes told at the Monday, Oct. 1 Voices of Recovery event at the Honeywell Center, none were as captivating as the story of Shane Beal. Beal, a former lawyer, lost it all to drugs and alcohol, hitting rock bottom with a four-year prison sentence. Beal and emcee Doug Hartle shared a story not for the faint of heart. Hartle, a former police officer, once sold a gun to Beal while Beal was drunk sitting in Hartle’s squad car in a gas station parking lot. The statute of limitations has passed on the incident, so both felt comfortable sharing it with the audience. “That’s what addiction does to you; you don’t make clear decisions,” Hartle said. Beal started his presentation by explaining that speaking at events such as Monday’s is “about God moving” in him. “I’ve had a lot of God moments, and I think recovery needs that,” Beal said. Beal says he hit rock bottom on Dec. 18, 2015, and it lasted for a couple weeks. On that day, he walked into the Grant County Superior Court II court room

Shane Beal (left) and Doug Hartle share a laugh and a story with the Honeywell Center crowd at the Voices of Recovery event Monday, Oct. 1. Photo by Josh Sigler not as an attorney, but as a defendant. “And, not as someone who was respected in the community, but someone who wasn’t,” Beal said. “That was hard. I had practiced law in Grant County since 1996, helping a million people with divorces, trials and doing what I was supposed to do as an attorney.” On that day though, he was a defendant, the memories of success as an attorney long gone. The charges levied against him that day included forgery, writing bad checks to pay for crack and meth he could no longer pay for. “That’s hard to admit that you’re someone who was formerly looked up to,” Beal said. “Or respected. My life had dwindled down to pretty much nothing. Along the way you

would have thought there’d have been rock bottom after rock bottom. That day in the courtroom, Beal’s rock bottom, he was sentenced to four years in prison. (The judge) told me he was going to save my life,” Beal said. “And I thought ‘you’re crazy.’ Lawyer’s don’t go to jail. Aren’t we on the same team? Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for me.” Looking back, Beal is dumbfounded at just how bad his addictions got before rock bottom came. It didn’t come when he lost his law license. It didn’t come when he lost his kids. It wasn’t divorce, or horrible relationships. It wasn’t buying guns from a sheriff ’s deputy while drunk. “It wasn’t anything until that day sitting

in the courtroom headed off to prison, because that’s where God found me,” Beal said. “I was so mad the first couple weeks.” Beal was sent to Blackford County Jail because Marion wouldn’t keep him for reasons he didn’t discuss. He was a trustee waiting to go to the department of corrections. The judge showed up and wanted his car washed. “Who washes cars in jail?” Beal asked “Trustees wash cars. So, not only did this guy send me to prison, but I also have to wash his car.” Beal gets to prison, and finds that the only time he could get out of his cell was to go to church. He continued to go to church, study the bible and attempt to get closer to God. “At that point in my

life, that’s the only thing that I had,” Beal said. “That’s the only thing that got me through one of the most horrible times in my life. … I got myself to a place where the only thing I had was Him.” Beal said the hardest thing to do when he was in the throes of addiction was to ask for help. “Asking for help is not a sign of weakness,” Beal said. “It takes courage to ask for help when you’ve been kicked, or let yourself down so much that you don’t know if you can get back up.” Asking for help is really hard, Beal said. But, he continued to ask for help. “When I surrendered the addiction and the shame, all the bad decisions and heart breaks, all the clients I shammed, all the respect I lost for myself — all those things went away,” Beal said. “And, so today I don’t have to

worry about that because I asked for help. If you’re struggling with something or know someone who is struggling, love them where they’re at until they can ask for the help they need.” Beal now works as a peer recovery spe-

cialist and case manager at GrantBlackford Mental Health. He’s been sober now for nearly three years. Beal has a blog which diaries his journey to recovery at bealfrommyjournal.blogspot.com.

Laketon Auxiliary honors teachers

Dear Editor: The Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit No. 402, payed tribute to the teachers, staff, bus drivers and SRO officers, celebrating Education Week and remembering Sept. 11 (with a small flag), by delivering “Survival Kit” bag, including: tea bag, so you’ll know you are “tea-riffic;” two cents, so you’ll have the “cents” to relax and enjoy the week; mint, for the commit“mint” you made to teach; lifesaver candy, to remind you that you are appreciated a “hole” lot; toothpick, to remind you to “pick” your battles; rubber band, to remind you to be “flexible;” stick of gum, reminding you to “stick” with it. The students need you, even if they don’t know it, yet! A $40 donation was made to the “special fund” provided by MCS (the Auxiliary, refers to it as a Give 10 to Education) and $20 was donated to Sgt. Birch for care of K9 Strider. A total of 30 bags was distributed to MIS (Laketon) school and included a ‘dog treat bag’ for K9 Strider for his contribution and interaction with our boys and girls. The members of the Laketon Auxiliary appreciate the contribution being made by Sgt. Tomlinson and Sgt. Birch, on days off, for interacting with the kids and observing the security of our school. We are proud of our Manchester Community Schools and the initiative they take to make our school system a safer educational environment, while building a bridge of trust with students, staff and parents. We say thank you to all teachers, staff, bus drivers, school board and those who contribute to the future of our boys and girls, their safety, today and our community. - Thelma Butler, Unit No. 402 Education Chairman

VIEWPOINT

Former MCS official: Vote no Dear Editor: I’ve lived in North Manchester for 35 years and am privileged to say I devoted 20 years to Manchester Community Schools, first as the athletic director and later as the business manager. It’s in that continued spirit of community service that I write today to share my concerns following the 1028 hearings for the MCS building project. First, I think there is some important history to share related to students traveling between the junior high and high school, as well as playing soccer at Good Fields. Regarding the buildings, prior to 2010, the General Fund was comprised of state funds and local tax dollars. Beginning in 2010, though, the state fully funded the General Fund as part of its plan to reduce the burden on property tax payers. In 2009, we were told by the state our funding would not change. When our funding information came in late 2009, however, the state left MCS $1,000,000 short. Knowing we did not have the resources to absorb this shortfall, we convened a committee of teachers, staff and administrators to reduce our General Fund expenses by $1,000,000. For a labor-intensive system, this meant that a number of administrative staff, teachers and support staff lost their jobs. The junior high was most affected, which led to the travel between buildings. Some members of the community raised concerns about the convenience of this arrangement, but none mentioned safety. I have not heard anything to suggest substantial, new threats to student safety have since arisen. Regarding the soccer fields, the local soccer club agreed to find a location and develop fields MCS could maintain and use to provide high school soccer nearly 20 years ago. This was consistent with our practice of using community facilities for our varsity football, softball and swimming programs. Again, no one mentioned safety concerns about playing soccer across the street on leased fields and none have come up since. In fact, aside from the lack of restrooms, people largely have commented how much they like the setup

and the location of the two fields. Second, the current financial health of MCS is the result of very intentional efforts. To reiterate, the school community made difficult decisions nearly a decade ago to reduce the operating budget by $1,000,000 that cost a number of colleagues their jobs. The question posed on the ballot challenges that notion of intentional fiscal responsibility with a $16,660,000 borrowing. Not only could borrowing this much hamstring MCS in the years to come, should a real need for borrowing arise, approximately $11,000,000 of this is for athletic facilities in the form of the fieldhouse and a new turf field. Over the last 20 years, the only athletics project for which MCS borrowed money in a similar manner was for the concession/restroom building that was part of the Building Corporation borrowings in 2012-13. All of the outdoor athletic facilities, as they exist today, are the product of utilizing Capital Projects Fund dollars, subject to existing caps and not additive to the tax rate. Also with regard to intentional fiscal responsibility, the new debt service related to tile previously mentioned Building Corporation borrowing was laddered with that of the outstanding debt at the time to minimize the impact on our taxpayers. That is not true of the current proposal. Not only will the project add up to .3885 cents to the current rate, there will be additional operating expenses associated with the fieldhouse that have been difficult even for the project managers to estimate. Initially, these were in the $40,000 to $50,000 range. Those numbers have now doubled to an estimated $100,000. Turf fields require maintenance too and need replacement every decade at 60-75 percent of the original cost. Using the current cost of $800,000 - absent inflation - approximately $50,000 will need to be set aside annually to replace the field in another 10 years. To complicate this further, 2019 brings a new two-fund structure to school finance in which an Education Fund, still state-funded, will replace the General Fund and an Operations Fund will combine three

of the old funds. While each of the old funds were limited by rate caps or levy maximums under the old system, it is still unclear what funding limits will look like in this new structure. Given the tumult the 2009 state funding change brought to MCS, I’m not inclined to expect increases to our current funding. Moreover, if it takes a few years for the new structure to get sorted out, MCS will have to account for an additional $150,000 in operating expenses and capital set aside using only two funds. Adding these costs to the new fund could possibly result in using the Education Fund to subsidize the Operations Fund. Lastly, amenities are important in a community like ours. But so is fiscal responsibility. The library, the aquatic center and the early learning center were all privately funded. The fieldhouse and the turf field in this proposal are not. Anecdotally, no one has ever told me they moved to North Manchester because of the amenities. People have told me, though, they chose MCS because of its academic reputation. As it stands now, this proposal runs the risk of undermining this very important strength of our community school system. If the proposal is a great and financially sound solution to a reasonable problem facing our community, our schools and our students, it will be great a year from now after we’ve had the chance to continue a meaningful, transparent dialogue with MCS leaders about the need and sustainability of this project. If it is instead an athletic project disguised as enhanced security measures, we can use that time to conduct a more robust discussion with our school board, administrators, teachers, coaches and community members of a better tailored security solution or a more fiscally sound alternative to funding athletic improvements. I will be voting “No” on the referendum and encourage you to do so as well. — Steve Shumaker, North Manchester

Chokmah Institute offers educational alternative

Dear Editor: Many years ago most public schools used the New England Primer as their main textbook, a book which focused on teaching how to read the Bible (The Kindle version can be purchased on Amazon for 99 cents). Weekly activities centered around the church, and families spent much of their time discipling their children at home. While there are exceptions, by and large, those days are long gone and likely never to return. In his classic, “The Master Plan of Evangelism,” Dr. Robert Coleman documents in a simple, but straight forward, manner that Jesus not only taught how to be a disciple, but he modeled a comprehensive approach to disciple-making. In recent years churches have attempted to duplicate Jesus’ approach to making disciples, but have almost always fallen short in one key area: time. The fact of the matter is that Jesus spent three years with His disciples. He lived with them, and spent numerous hours teaching discipleship through his example. Even then, they fell away when persecuted, and needed to be restored and forgiven. Higher Ed. u is an alternative Christian school startup by Chokmah Institute, Inc., with classes beginning on January 7, 2019. Most of the teaching will be online,

using excellent (and expensive) curriculum. However, online learning is intensive, and can lead to diminishing results during the day. As a result, schools such as Carpe Diem have implemented a blended learning approach, supplementing online learning with class discussions and hands-on projects. Utilizing a blended learning approach also frees up time to present contrasting Christian perspectives, which reinforces critical thinking skills. And, more importantly, it frees up time to follow Jesus’ methodology in making disciples. “The American Church in Crisis” is a ten year old book written by David T. Olson. In his research Olson compared the database of 200,000 churches to population, and, in so doing, produced reliable data as it pertains to church attendance (This is in contrast to numerous highly unreliable surveys). Based on his research, Olson determined that in 2005, 19.5 percent of people in the United States attended a house of worship on any giving weekend (It should be noted that the study took place thirteen years ago, and in that study Olson projects that attendance will be down to 10 percent by 2050). What is undeniable is that what we are collectively doing is not resulting in sufficient disciples to prevent declining numbers.

At Chokmah Institute we are so convinced that there is no replacement for a disciple making process that includes and extensive investment of time, we are willing to spend literally thousands of dollars per student in year one in order to make our classes affordable for families. Scholarships will continue to rise until we have a small class of students. And those who sign up now will receive the same discounts as those who wait until the last minute. We make it clear that students will need to learn well and test well, in order for us to qualify for Indiana Freeway Accreditation in year two. Accreditation will allow us to access the funds necessary for long-term viability, and to offer a high quality Christian education to families in other rural areas and small towns. Presently we are looking for people who share our passion regarding this endeavor: People willing to send their high school youth as students, serve on the Board, share their expertise, volunteer and support us financially. For more information and to get involved, please go to higheredu.net, and prayerfully consider how you can be a part of our intensive disciple-making efforts. — Mark Eastway, Chokmah Institute Board president

Board of Works deals with three home issues

The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety dealt with three different home issues when it met Thursday, Oct. 4. In the end, one home was ordered demolished, declared a second home unsafe and ordered the owner be issued a list of work to be done at the site and given a deadline to have work completed, and ordered a second stop-work order will be issued to the third. The Mettler property at 131 E. Maple St., after several weeks of discussion, was ordered to be demolished. The city will seek quotes from local firms to do the work. The board has discussed the matter for several weeks and, at its Sept. 20 meeting, agreed to give the family two weeks to find someone to demolish the home. However, family members told the board Thursday that they could not afford to have the home demolished. By having the city demolish the home, a lien will be placed against the property and costs will be collected if and when the property is sold. Meanwhile, Scott Hearn, owner of 112 E. Main St., was ordered to return to the Oct. 18 board meeting to receive a list of work from B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens that must be done to the home and receive a deadline to have the work completed. Stephens told the board on Thursday that the home is dilapidated because it had not been maintained by the owner. He also said it was a fire hazard, wasn’t safe structurally and was a danger to public health. He had told the board at its Sept. 6 meeting that the home was open and, during a recent interior inspection, found people on the upper floors. “It’s not a whole lot different,” Stephens said when asked if the state of the home had changed since the September hear-

ing. Hearn was to have some work at the site finished by Thursday’s meeting, including securing the doors, removing brush from around the home, clean the inside, remove items from the back porch and repair soffits. Stephens said some of the work was done, noting that the doors were secured, but that most of the work wasn’t finished. Hearn told the board he secured the doors and had a city brush truck on site two weekends to load yard debris. “Two brush trucks and it looks like I did a little around the edges,” he said, noting he was to have another truck this past weekend. “I think you’ll see a

s u b s t a n t i a l (improvement) … at least around the property. I’ll have at least all that brush down from around the structure.” Once the brush is cleared, Hearn said he plans to do some construction work to the house. Included in that work, he said, is removing a back porch from the structure and placing a new foundation there and building a kitchen on that spot. Pressed by the board as to why the work wasn’t completed, Hearn said he thought the board wanted to see some progress at the site and didn’t realize they wanted all the brush removed. “It was not my intent to not get it done,” he said. “It was a misunder-

standing on my part.” Stephens will prepare the list of work for Hearn to do by the Oct. 18 meeting. “I think you’ve really got to show us you’re serious about this, Scott,” board member Todd Titus said. “I don’t think any of us want to tear your house down, but we will. … If you’re really dedicated to getting this improved with some of the ideas you shared with us tonight, you need to start getting the brush, the trash and everything done, and get it done now.” In the third building-related matter, the board, after receiving complaints from neighbors, ordered Stephens to issue a stop-work order to Chad Vigar

for a property he owns at 603 State St. This is the second such order issued for the site. The first was because work was being done without the proper permit. It was rescinded once the permit was received. The property had been the topic of an unsafe building hearing at the Sept. 20 board meeting. The board granted Vigar until December to make needed repairs to the building and have it enclosed so interior work could begin. However neighbor James Sturgill complained to the board on Thursday that the site was unsafe. “That house, they work on it a few hours a day,” he told the board. “They’re up to maybe 20 hours

per week. The house is severely unsafe. They’ve dug a hole behind it. The whole entire top is gone out of it. They’ve got it sitting up on blocks with pieces of wood.” Stephens showed photos of the site taken earlier in the week. “Looking at the pictures, that doesn’t look safe at all,” said Eric Shoening, who as City Council President was sitting in for Mayor Scott Long at the meeting. “It seems like we’re having to be really, really specific in terms of things we want people to do. These people are taking these things as general and taking their time on what they’re proceeding with things.” Titus said, “It

looks like he’s gone backwards since he was here.” The board will order Vigar to appear at the Oct. 18 meeting as it considers modifying the order issued Sept. 24. It also ordered Stephens to specifically document items at the site that are out of code. In a final matter, the board approved a contract with the Indiana Department of Transportation to sweep Ind. 13 and Ind. 15 in the downtown area a minimum of three times per year. The city will receive $360 per curb mile, or $2,268 annually. In addition, the city will receive $9,072 in back pay from INDOT for the service.

NFL’s Luck, Goff pull off rare feat By Bill Barrows Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez of the Boston Red Sox, became the first MLB teammates to finish 1st and 2nd in the majors in both batting average and slugging percentage since 1903, when the Pirates’ Honus Wagner and Fred Clarke did so. In Week 4, LA Rams QB Jared Goff and Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck became the 10th and 11th QBs in NFL history to throw for 450plus yards and four-

plus TD passes with zero INTs in a single game. Goff and Luck are the first pair of QBs in NFL history to accomplish the feat in the same week. Seventeen years ago this week one of my all-time favorite sitcoms premiered. I loved “Scrubs.” In my TV world, preceded by “Barney Miller” and “Married.....with Children” and followed by “Big Bang Theory,” “Scrubs” is still a big favorite. I know, not sports related……. My column, my subject, my opinion. Deal with it.

BILL BARROWS The NFL season is at the quarter mark. I’m in 3 different fantasy leagues. I’m 4-0 in one, 2-2 in another and 0-4 in the third. Very average.

The Indianapolis Colts have set team record with most sacks in 1st 4 games. Previous: 16, ‘83 Colts while still in Baltimore. Here’s an amazing tidbit — the Colts have now been in Indianapolis longer than they were in Baltimore. Still my childhood team……… Your heard it here first: Two weeks ago in this column, I warned not to sleep on the Penske NASCAR Racing team. All tyhree drivers made the Chase, two of those, Brad Keselowski and Ryan

Joy Christian to carry Hallmark Gold Crown Products

Joy Christian Books & Gifts is partnering with Hallmark Cards, Inc. and has opened a Hallmark Gold Crown department in its Wabash store located at 1317 N. Cass St., Wabash. The new department is now open and ready to serve the community. The Hallmark partnership will complement Joy’s current shopping experience, providing customers with a new place to find Hallmark greeting cards and gifts for the special occasions they are celebrating. The Hallmark Gold Crown department will include cards for yearround occasions and holidays such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas as well as gift wrap and a full selection of gifts. “Hallmark is a compelling, respected

brand with a strong history, and their products truly make a difference in people’s lives,” owner Kevin VanDuyne said. “We are excited to bring Hallmark to our customers to help them communicate, connect and celebrate their special times.” For more than 100 years the Hallmark brand has been bringing joy and smiles to those who receive a Hallmark card or gift and has helped people acknowledge special events, express appreciation, and capture memories and milestones. By carrying Hallmark products, Joy Christian continues to add even more choice and convenience for its shoppers. “We understand the diverse needs of our customers and are constantly seeking ways to enhance their shop-

ping experience,” said VanDuyne. “By bringing Hallmark products to Joy Christian we are continuing to show our commitment to our customers by providing exciting and unexpected options.” The new Hallmark

Gold Crown department will be located in the gift section of Joy Christian and will occupy 750 feet of retail space. The Hallmark Gold Crown department is now open.

Blaney have won two of the three Chase races thus far going into weekend four. All three have now advanced. Saw this on a college coaching website; Players: You had better really love the process. The average D1 player spends 3,000 hours on their game in four years. Only 4 percent of that is actual game play! College level ball isn’t for the weak, no matter the sport. You

need mental & physical stamina, toughness & a willingness to work. Are you that player? On the first day of Pacers training camp, Doug McDermott made a play during a scrimmage that once would have drawn praise from the head coach but now tends to bring a reprimand. He dared pass up a 3pointer to make the “extra pass” to another shooter closer to

the basket. “If we’re open, (Coach) wants us to shoot it,” McDermott said. “You don’t have tell a guy like me twice.” “Winning isn’t everything, but it beats anything that comes in second.” – Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant “The greatest compliment to any player is he’s a great teammate. We can’t all be great players, but we can all be great teammates.“ – Jay Bilas

talk about how “Frankenstein” rela tes to their areas of study, and the ongoing significance of Frankenstein and his monster. To carry on the

t h e m e of Frankenstein, the English Department’s Jonathan Watson will host a movie night featuring the 1994 version

of “Frankenstein” starring Helena Bonham Carter and Kenneth Branagh. The movie is at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 8 in Room 101 of the Academic Center. A

discussion will foll o w . Jonathan Watson is an associate professor who teaches a class on cinema for social change. He also teaches about medieval literature, history of the English language, British literature, Arthurian literature, J.R.R. Tolkien, and about the Romantics and Victorians. Both presentations are part of Manchester’s Value s, Ideas and the Arts series, which offers academic enrichment for students. When it comes to asking the hard questions at the heart of scientific investigation, perhaps no book has e v e r topped “Frankenste in.” Thanks to a generous grant from the National Endowment for the H u m a n i t i e s , Indiana Humanities is bringing to life more than 600 unique, fun and thought-provoking programs across the state that invite Hoosiers to explore Mary Shelley’s remarkable 1818 novel. Manchester’s English Department partnered with Indiana Humanities to offer related events this fall, including these presentations. “One State / One Story: Frankenstein ” is an Indiana Humanities program and has been made possible in part by a major grant from the N a t i o n a l Endowment for the Humanities and in partnership with the Indiana State Library and Indiana Center for the Book.

25 WEEKLY REPORTS Indiana State Police chaplain retires after 48 years of service THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

October 10, 2018

From the ISP PERU – A recent luncheon at the Indiana State Peru Post took place to honor Indiana State Police Chaplain the Rev. John A. “Jack” Hess and his 48 years of service as a police chaplain. Hess has ministered to various police and fire department in Ohio and Indiana. He spent 12 of those years tending to the emotional and spiritual needs of employees with the Indiana State Police Department. “There are numerous emotional and physical stressors in police work,” said Indiana State Police Peru Post Commander Lt. Jeremy Kelly. “The Rev. Hess was always there with an inspirational word, a car-

ing ear, or a supportive hug. He and other police chaplains are unsung heroes who help police officers create order in a sometimes chaotic and cruel world. He will be missed.” In 2017, Hess was presented the John “Jack” Price Excellence in C h a p l a i n c y Award. The award is given annually by the International Conference of Police Chaplains (ICPC) for a lifetime of achievement and excellence of service in law enforcement chaplaincy. He was the twentieth recipient, and fifth Indiana State Police chaplain to receive the John Price Award. The award was established in 1984 to honor the late Chaplain John A. (Jack) Price, who

served the Albuquerque, N.M., Police Department. Price consistently demonstrated excellence in his own chaplain ministry, encouraged others, and often brought positive attention to those he saw provide quality service in the chaplaincy of others. John Price served as ICPC president from 1977 to 1979. Hess has been a member of the ICPC since 1977. Hess started his ministering of first responders in 1970, while he was the assistant pastor at the Second Presbyterian Church in Newark, OH. He volunteered as a chaplain for the Newark Police and F i r e Departments. As Hess’s career as a minister took him

JOHN “JACK” HESS and his wife of 40 years, Martha, their two children, Eric and Jennifer, to various assignments in the Midwest, Hess continued to serve as a volunteer chaplain for various police and fire departments. In addition to the Newark departments, Hess has served as a volunteer chaplain for the Huntington County, IN Sheriff ’s Department, the Defiance County, Ohio, Sheriff ’s Department, the Defiance City Police and Fire departments, the Randolph County Sheriff ’s Department, and the Winchester Fire Department. In 2000, Hess became the pastor at the First Presbyterian Church

in Peru. That same year he became a volunteer chaplain for the Miami County S h e r i f f ’ s Department. In 2006, Hess became a volunteer chaplain for the Indiana State Police serving from the Indiana State Police Peru Post. In 2009, Hess retired as a pastor, but he continued to serve as a volunteer chaplain for the Miami County Sheriff ’s Department and the Indiana State Police. Hess has ministered to first responders in many locations and during many trying situations to include deploying for eight days in New York after the 9/11 attack. Hess also deployed to New Orleans after H u r r i c a n e Katrina. Hess believes in his 48 years as a volunteer chaplain he has ministered and provided aid at approximately 12 tornados, numerous flooding events, a plane crash in which six people died, he has made countless death notifications, and provided comfort at four line of duty law

e n f o r c e m e n t deaths. The John Price Award was not the first time Hess had been recognized for outstanding chaplaincy during his 48 years of service. In 2009, he was honored to be the second person in the United States, and fourth in the world, to be an official “Keeper of the Sconestone.” This is a “Stone of Kindness” that has been on a tour of the world since it was carved. In 2010, Hess was presented the Indiana State Police Meritorious Service Award for distinguished service to the Indiana State Police Department. In 2014, he was recognized by the ICPC with The Wilbert A. Cunningham Award for excellence in law enforcement chaplaincy. Hess is one of approximately 50 volunteer chaplains who serve the Indiana State Police D e p a r t m e n t throughout Indiana. Chaplains provide emotional and spiritual support to Indiana State Police personnel, their immediate family

members, and to members of the public who are victims of a crime or involved in a crash. Police chaplains ride along with officers and respond to critical incidents and disasters. They are generally available to assist with a wide range of crisis interventions. The program is intended to mitigate the negative effects of stress among department personnel and their families. Chaplains also help compassionately resolve distressing situations and may serve the pluralistic religious needs of department personnel, their families, or victims of a crime or crashes. Hess is originally from Wilkinsburg, Pa., and a 1962 graduate of Wilkinsburg High School. He is a 1966 graduate of Westminster College and holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology. In 1970, Hess graduated from the L o u i s v i l l e Presbyterian Theology Seminary with Master of Divinity degree. He will be retiring to Ohio to be closer to family.

7 uses for fallen leaves By the time autumn hits full swing, many trees will have shed their leaves for the season, and the last vestiges of red, yellow and orange magic will have faded to brown. Raking, blowing and collecting leaves becomes the primary chores of lawn and yard maintenance, and presents most homeowners with large piles of gathered leaves to tend to. It is impossible to count just how many leaves fall to the ground each year, or just how many pounds of leaves get collected curbside, but the numbers are substantial. Cleaning up leaves is considerable work, but not all of those leaves need to be carted away. In fact, there are several different uses of

leaves that can be beneficial. 1. Spread leaves as a protective mulch to cover tender perennials or root crops/bulbs in the ground. The leaves will form a natural insulating cover that keeps the soil and the plants within a bit warmer over winter. 2. Create a pile of leaves that will break down and form a crumbly, compostlike material called leaf mold. Even though leaf mold may sound like a blight, it’s actually a good amendment to garden soil, improving its structure and ability to hold water. Leaf mold also attracts beneficial organisms that are vital in healthy soil. 3. Brown leaves can be added to green materials in compost

piles to improve the health of the compost being formed. According to the healthy living resource Care2, the ideal ratio is 75 percent brown to 25 percent green materials in compost. Turn compost piles regularly to aerate them. 4. Store dried, mulched leaves in a dry spot so they can be used in the spring as a weed barrier for spring plantings. They will keep weeds at bay and help retain soil moisture to ensure small sprouts have the resources to grow. 5. Use shredded leaves as a lawn supplement. Pass a lawn mower over leaves left on the lawn to break them down into pieces too small to rake. This will help keep the lawn

healthy throughout the winter without blocking out needed sunlight. 6. Bag dried leaves and pack them tightly together in cold areas of the home, such as basements or garages. They can act as added insulation. Bags of leaves also can be placed around planting containers to protect them from frost. 7. Gather a few of the best-looking leaves and preserve them. Use an iron on a low setting and press leaves between two pieces of waxed paper until the waxed paper seals together. Or use clear contact paper to achieve the same effect. Fallen leaves can be used in many different ways throughout the year.

Leaf peeping planning guide

Peak viewing times Areas of the northern-most latitude will start to show color earlier than more southern areas. Generally speaking, the leaf-viewing season begins in late September and runs through early November for much of North America. Peak times for viewing depend on areas of travel and time of year. For large swaths of Canada and the United States, plan trips for late-September to midOctober. The Weather Channel offers maps and charts at www.weather.com/ma ps/fall-foliage for the peak times for many areas of the U.S.

serious leaf photographers may want to take out their prized camera equipment for leafpeeping excursions. Also bring along a map or a GPS-enabled device so you can explore back roads and areas off the beaten path more readily. There are plenty of apps that can help with foliage-finding adventures, so a phone is a handy tool. When packing, also bring along hiking boots, comfortable layered clothing and any equipment you’d normally take for an afternoon in the great outdoors. Another idea is to hit the ATM machine

prior to the visit. Many smaller towns and their local shops may not take credit cards, so it’s best to have cash on hand for food and souvenirs. Extend the day Make leaf-peeping part of a larger series of events for the day. Scope out vineyards where you can sample local wines or plan trips around orchards, where you can come home with beautiful photos as well as freshpicked apples and pumpkins. You may find a county fair or street festival while exploring.

autumn color. During leaf-peeping season, travelers can go coast to coast and see awesome vistas. Some regions are particularly known for their leaf displays. New York’s Catskill and Adirondack regions are prime spots for visitors in the autumn. Those who live further north will find that leaves in Vermont are such an attraction that routes are published indicating where to enjoy the best views. Further south, Central and Eastern Virginia peak in late October. And don’t forget the shores of the Great Lakes, which are awash in reds, oranges and yellows by midSeptember. The travel resource Frommer’s offers more leaf-peeping locales to visit.

Millions of people each year look forward to the magnificent colors on display in autumn. Fall offers irreplaceable views, whether you’re atop a mountain ridge or thick in the folds of a forest. In addition, the crackle of leaves underfoot and the earthy smell of the soil tempts the senses even more. Some advance planning can help make fall foliage trips that much more enjoyable and awe-inspiring.

5 popular German foods to try this Oktoberfest Oktoberfest is a popular celebration of German culture. While beer might garner the bulk of the attention during Oktoberfest, celebrants would be wise to sample German cuisine when hoisting their steins during this year’s festivities. The world’s largest beer festival, Oktoberfest takes place in Munich, Germany, every year, typically beginning in late-September and extending into the first weekend in October. Oktoberfest

celebrations in Germany have been held for more than 200 years, but those who cannot make it to Munich this year can still sample many of these delicious foods at their local Oktoberfest celebrations, or even find recipes and prepare them at home. 1. Spätzle: This dish is a combination of eggs, flour and salt and is often served as a side dish. Spätzle is similar to pasta and typically accompanies meat dishes. Spätzle is popular out-

side of Germany as well, and some people may refer to it as a noodle while others call it a dumpling. Either way, it’s delicious. 2. Maultaschen: This dish traces its origins to Swabia, a one-time duchy of medieval Germany located in the southwest region of the country. Maultaschen is reminiscent of ravioli because it consists of an outer layer of dough that may be filled with various foods, including minced meat, sauer-

While beer might garner the bulk of the attention during Oktoberfest, celebrants would be wise to sample German cuisine when hoisting their steins during this year’s festivities. kraut or spinach. Herbs and spices, including pepper and nutmeg, add to the flavor. 3. Fischbrötchen: Seafood might not be the first thing people expect to see on the menus at their favorite German restaurants, but this popular northern German dish popular is very flavorful. Essentially a fish sandwich, fischbrötchen is often served with Bismarck

herring or soused herring, but is sometimes served with other fish, including salmon. Onions, pickles, remoulade, and/or horseradish sauce are often added, making this a great selection for those planning to hoist a stein or two this Oktoberfest. 4. Schweinsbraten: Munich is located in the federal state of Bavaria, and this is a traditional Bavarian dish of roasted pork.

In the days before refrigeration, Bavarians heavily salted or picked this dish to preserve it, and it is still served this way. Another hearty selection, schweinsbraten is a good choice for those who plan to indulge in their favorite German beers this Oktoberfest. 5. Rouladen: Rouladen is a meat dish that typically consists of bacon, onions, mustard, and pickles.

These ingredients are wrapped together in beef or veal that is thinly sliced and then cooked together. Rouladen also might be served with venison or pork, but beef rouladen is the version most likely to be found at Oktoberfest celebrations. German cuisine is unique and flavorful and should be a part of anyone’s Oktoberfest celebrations.
