Teagye Barn is getting a new life at Colorado farm By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

Halle Shoults

State Fair queen to visit Wabash Halle Shoults, Miss Indiana State Fair 2019, will travel to Wabash County on Wednesday, July 10, to make an appearance at the Wabash County Queen Pageant. Halle was crowned the 61st Indiana State Fair Queen last January and is traveling to approximately 45 counties to promote the upcoming Indiana State Fair, Aug. 2-18. Miss Indiana State Fair 2019, Shoults of Oxford, is a junior at Purdue University studying speech pathology. She is excited to combine her love of science with her desire to work with children and looks forward to a career in a hospital or

The storied Teague Barn’s future was very much in doubt in the early stages of 2018. But, thanks to a couple in Colorado, the barn has a new life. Aly and Orlin Camerlo, who own and operate Howard Creek Farm in Howard, Colo., purchased the barn and had it reconstructed at their farm. The Camerlos purchased an 11-acre farm, and with Aly’s 12 years of wedding planning experience, thought it would be great if they could build a venue that could host weddings on their property. When the Camerlos started the process, they quickly found that hardwood was a scarcity in the West. “If we were to build a barn of this size, we would’ve had to use Douglas Fir, and it’d be quite a milling process,” Orlin said. “It wouldn’t be 30 feet at the peak. So that eliminated that (option) pretty early.” The Camerlos wanted to stick with a barn that had hand-hewn beams and hardwoods from the Midwest. They did some research, and found some opportunities online. (continued on page 5)

A heartbeat away: Marshall & Wilson’s illness Ray E. Boomhower

J. Fred Essary, the Washington correspondent for the Baltimore Sun, found himself confronted with a delicate assignment in the fall of 1919. Stricken by a massive stroke, President Woodrow Wilson lay deathly ill in the White House. Concerned about the president’s medical condition, doctors and those close to Wilson decided that someone outside of government s h o u l d inform the vice president about Wilson’s sickness. Quietly making his way to the vice president’s office, Essary told him that the president might die at any moment. The stunned politician sat at his desk, his head down, staring at his hands. The reporter waited a long time for a reply, received none, and left, noticing that the vice president never once looked up.

Years after the meeting, Essary, on a visit to Indiana, saw the vice president, Thomas R. Marshall, a North Manchester native, who apologized for the incident. “I did not even have the courtesy to thank you for coming over and telling me. It was the first great shock of my life,” Marshall said. The clandestine meeting between Marshall and the reporter was one of m a n y bizarre incidents transpiring as a result of Wi l s o n’s stroke. Although he stood just a heartbeat away from the presidency, Marshall, the former Indiana governor best known for his quip about cigar prices and the state of the country (“What this country needs is a good five cent cigar”), never had the opportunity to see for himself just how incapacitated Wilson had become. Although Marshall tried to visit the president, Wilson’s wife, Edith,

blocked all access to the stricken president. As the administration floundered, Marshall faced a difficult choice. Should he do nothing and chance that the national government would grind to a halt, or should he take firmer measures and chance being branded a usurper? Marshall, the witty, down-toearth Hoosier politician, and Wilson, the professorial minister’s son, never enjoyed a close relationship. The two men w e r e thrown together

Thomas Marshall

not by any shared philosophy, but by political expediency. Forced to take Marshall on as his running mate to win enough delegates to achieve the Democratic presidential nomination in 1912, Wilson showed his low regard for the former Hoosier governor by calling him “a very small calibre man.” With the split in the Republican Party between incumbent President William Howard Taft and the third-party Bull Moose effort of former President Theodore Roosevelt, the Wilson/Marshall team narrowly captured the election. Upon assuming his limited duties as vice president, chiefly serving as the presiding offi-

cer for the U.S. Senate, Marshall discovered that Wilson’s dim view of his running mate carried over from the convention to the new administration. “I soon (continued on page 10)

YMCA hires aquatics director

The Wabash County YMCA is excited to welcome a new aquatics director. Amy (Callicoat) Johnson is a Wabash County native, graduating from Manchester High School in 2008. Upon graduation, Amy attended Ball State University and obtained a degree in Exercise Science with a concentration in Aquatics. Johnson’s career began with a move to Lowell, Mass., where she was the Assistant Aquatics Director for the Greater Lowell Family YMCA. Since 2014, she has served

as the Aquatics Director for the West Side Family YMCA in Knoxville, Tenn. She is a certified lifeguard instructor, a certified American Red Cross CPR/AED for professional rescuer instructor, a Y Swim lesson instructor, water safety instructor, and a certified Aquatics Facility Operator. She and her family are excited about their move back to Indiana to re-immerse in the Wabash Community and reunite with family and friends. CEO Dean Gogolewski credited

the goal of improving and growing the Y’s aquatics program for this hire. “Her passion will benefit our swim lessons, Safety Around Water program, and Swim Club and we are all excited to welcome her to the Y family,” he said. “The position of Aquatics Director is a variation from our old structure.” Previously, the position was Aquatics & Well-Being Director and time was split between the two departments. Patty Godfroy, VP of Operations will provide leadership on the Wellness floor work-

ing with staff to “bring the same level of excellence at the membership desk up to the 2nd floor.” The pools at the Y will be closed from July 15-28 for scheduled cleaning and maintenance, but Wabash County YMCA membership provides access to the Honeywell pool during the entire summer. A new swim session starts on the first Saturday of every month. To sign up for swim lessons, visit the Member Services desk or contact Amy Johnson at 260-5639622.

MU campus continues growing From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — Most of the students are gone, but Manchester University campuses are far from quiet. The sound of construction is everywhere. On the North Manchester campus, work on the $8.5 million Lockie and Augustus Chinworth Center is on pace to open before school starts this fall, with the Arthur L. Gilbert College of Business on the second floor and student services on the first floor. The university is also investing $4.8 million over the sum-

mer in its oldest residence halls – East, Garver and Schwalm – to upgrade Wi-Fi, safety features, bathrooms, exterior lighting and furnishings. It is actively raising funds for a new stadium to provide allweather surfaces for football, track and field, and a range of recreational activities. Naming opportunities include the stadium structure at $1,350,000, the artificial turf field at $500,000 and the Olympic-sized track at $250,000. “Our investments in facilities and new programs reflect our commitment to the future and our conviction that Manchester’s future

is bright,” President Dave McFadden said. The university is also making many smaller changes to further improve the student experience. The new Center for Health & Sports Medicine, for example, is designed to make it more convenient for all students to receive a broader range of health care services.

Teague Barn “There’s a tremendous amount of barns you can take down yourself,” Orlin said. “But, that’s a massive undertaking.” The Camerlos found D&K Construction out of Flora, and started working with them after they found the Teague Barn for sale. Orlin flew to Indiana to see the Teague Barn and see it firsthand. “It was one of those structures where we knew it had a lot of potential,” Orlin said. “The design is so unique on the inside with only five beams, that it really allows for us to do events in there. It was pretty wide open, which was really important for us.” For the Camerlos, they fell in love with the look of the barn almost immediately. “We loved the hand hewn beams,” Aly said. “Just everything about it was just perfect.” They started the reconstruction process in January with the pouring of the new foundation. The barn is up now, with the finishing of the roof coming last week. “(Orlin) and his cousin are doing the siding currently,” Aly said. “I’d say, start to finish, the process for construction will take about nine months.” The barn is back in its original form, with as much original wood used as possible. “For us, I think

what’s really special is that we’re able to keep the barn alive,” Aly said. “And, we’re going to host weddings in it. So, we think it’s a pretty special thing to have it be part of one of the most special days in people’s lives, and hopefully it’ll keep bringing happiness to couples.” The Camerlos are booking weddings for this fall and in 2020. You can check out their operation at https://howardcreekfarm.com. The barn was built in 1861 in Wabash County by Nathan Hubbard, a master builder from a nearby Quaker family. Hubbard built the barn for the family of Prudence and Samuel Teague, prominent members of the Friends Church, who fled the south due to their opposition of slavery. They purchased the land on the modern-day Mill

...continued from Page 1 Creek Pike in 1850. The barn was originally used for cattle, and the floor was made up of limestone cut from the side of a hill from the nearby Wabash River. Hubbard’s work was put on hold temporarily when he went and fought in the Civil War, but he returned to finish once the war concluded. In 1888, the property was sold to Jewish immigrants from Germany – Harmon Wolf, Abe Strauss and Nathan Myer. The barn was used as stables for Belgian Draft horses and was named Wabash Importing Company, which later morphed into the Belgian Draft Horse Corporation of America, which is still headquartered in Wabash. The farm the barn sat on was later owned by the Pearson, Hunt, Long and Miller families.

Urbana factory celebrates 101st anniversary There is a factory that has been in Urbana for over 100 years; it is the Cyclone Manufacturing. Of the 11 sons and four daughters born to John and Elizabeth Speicher, Samuel S. was the oldest, born in 1835. He was a skilled carpenter and a farmer at an early age. In 1868 he invented what became known as the Cyclone Hand Broadcast Seed Sower. Samuel’s oldest son, Daniel, followed in his father’s footsteps and by mid 1890s, Daniel had taken over management of the Cyclone Seeder Company founded by

his father in North Manchester and later moved to Urbana. Daniel served as President of Cyclone Seeder until 1962, then acted as Chairman of the Board until his death Sept. 20, 1966. He was buried on his 99th birthday. Cyclone Seeder was sold to Jackson Company of Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 15, 1977, and August 1982 they moved it to Harrisburg. In 1913 Paul Speicher, brother of Daniel, was managing a tile mill in Gaston, when he invented a rat proof chicken coop. The operation

was moved to North Manchester until a new building was constructed at Urbana where it then moved. The company launched into a line of poultry supplies and electric brooders. By July 3, 1918, this business was incorporated under the name C y c l o n e Manufacturing with Daniel Speicher serving as President. In 1948, the Presidency was passed on to Harold Speicher, son of Daniel. Twenty-one years later in 1969, Daniel Speicher II, the younger son of Harold Speicher, took over the presidency. The company was

now manufacturing push type garden cultivators, lawn sweepers, small custom built trailers, turkey feeders and hog equipment. Today Cyclone Mfg. still makes and assembles lawn spreaders and makes parts for Brock Bins, caged poultry and chicken nests.

Anyone interested in taking part in a LaFontaine/Liberty Township History Club should plan to attend this first meeting, which will be at the Troyer Library at 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 25, 2019. Bring your ideas on how you feel this club could benefit our community. One of the first things organizers would like to do is get someone to set up and implement an Oral History program for the Troyer Library. The community has lost a lot of history with the passing of our parents and grandparents. Let’s try not to miss any more of that history. Since the Troyer library is short on space, organizers would like to find a place where we could set up a small Museum, file articles of history and have

ascertained,” Marshall wrote in his autobiography, “that I was of no importance to the administration beyond the duty of being loyal to it and ready, at any time, to act as a sort of pinch hitter; that is, when everybody else on the team had failed, I was to be given a chance.”‘ The Hoosier vice president was held in such little regard by those inside the Wilson administration that there was even a movement afoot at the 1916 Democratic convention in Saint Louis to dump Marshall from the ticket, perhaps replacing him with Secretary of

Agriculture David Houston or Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. Wilson, however, came to Marshall’s defense, noting the vice president “has given me every reason to admire and trust him.” With the president’s support, Marshall hung on to his job, and won a second term in a close race against the Republican ticket of Charles Evans Hughes and Charles W. Fairbanks (also from Indiana). Marshall’s early difficulties in office were nothing compared to the trials he faced following the war’s end. When Wilson decided to leave the country

...continued from Page 1

and join the negotiations for the Treaty of Versailles in Paris (a decision he did not share with his vice president), he called upon Marshall to preside over cabinet meetings during his absence—becoming the first vice president ever to have such an honor. Although he attended only a few meetings, Marshall injected some levity into the usually staid surroundings. Once when Secretary of Commerce William C. Redfield read a letter to other cabinet members from a man complaining about bristle supplies, Marshall interrupted the secretary to offer an

answer: “Tell him to shave and get his own raw material.” A sterner test for Marshall was yet to come. Faced with opposition by Republican senators in his support for the League of Nations, Wilson embarked on a speaking tour in the late summer of 1919 hoping to rally public opinion to his cause. Before he could finish the tour, however, Wilson, whose health had never been good, collapsed, telling his personal physician Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson that he seemed “to have gone to pieces.” Grayson informed the press that the president had

Thomas Marshall Marshall would have their support if he decided to assume the presidency. Troubled and needing more information about Wilson’s true condition, Marshall went to the White House to try see the president. He never had a chance; Edith zealously guarded her husband from any unwanted callers. Marshall did not see the president again until the inaugurations of Wilson’s successor, Republican Warren Harding. M a r k Thistlethwaite, Marshall’s private secretary attempted to convince the vice president that he had to consider the distinct possibility that he would be called upon to take over for Wilson—a situation Marshall was reluctant to talk about. Pressing his boss about the matter, Thistlethwaite asked Marshall if he might assume the presidency if Congress decided Wilson was unable to continue? “No,” Marshall said. “It would not be legal until the President signed it, or until it had a two-thirds vote, and a two-thirds vote is impossible.” Marshall, according to Thomas, decided that the only way he would take over for Wilson was if Congress passed a resolution to that effect and Edith Wilson and Grayson approved it in writing. “I am not going to seize the place and then have Wilson—recovered— come around and say ‘get off, you usurper,’” Marshall told

...continued from Page 10 Thistlethwaite. Marshall later confided to his wife: “I could throw this country into civil war, but I won’t.” Marshall never had the opportunity to find out how he would have reacted as president. Despite his infirmities, Wilson continued in office. Unwilling to accept any compromises with his beloved League of Nations, the president saw his dreams crushed as the Senate could not muster a majority either for the treaty with or without amendments. Wilson hoped he might be nominated for a third term, but Democrats instead turned to James M. Cox, governor of Ohio, as their party’s presidential nominee. Cox went down to defeat in the 1920 election against Republican candidate Harding and his running mate, Calvin Coolidge. The Hoosier vice president’s dilemma on whether or not he should take over for Wilson spurred some discussion on the question of presidential succession, but a constitutional answer did not come until 1967 with the ratification of the TwentyFifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Under the amendment, sponsored by U.S. Senator Birch Bayh, an Indiana Democrat, if a president could not fulfill his office’s duties, he could certify his disability and have the vice president take over. In a situation where the president could not or would not

ask his second in command to take over, the amendment provides that the vice president could take over with the Cabinet’s consent. Historian and author Ray E. Boomhower has been with the Indiana Historical Society since 1987 and today serves as senior editor at the IHS Press. The author of numerous books and articles, his most recent work is Indiana Originals: Hoosier Heroes and Heroines, published by Arcadia Publishing & The History Press.”

NM council discusses EMS situation By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com NORTH

MAN-

CHESTER — The North Manchester Town Council responded to two concerns from a town resident in its monthly

meeting July 3. During the June 5 meeting Anthony DeLaughter raised questions about long response times from

Parkview EMS and the possibility of North Manchester starting its own service. Council President

Chalmer “Toby” Tobias addressed the issue after members met and discussed DeLaughter’s concerns “With the current five-year contract with the county and Parkview, each year the town will collect over $50,000 over expenditures,” Tobias said. “There is a possibility the town could reduce the EMS fees by 40 percent for the next several years and be OK. We are

limited to what we can spend with the $50,000. There are options on the table looked at, but that doesn’t have to remain the case.” Tobias said concerning North Manchester starting its own ambulance service, the idea has been discussed. “It will be looked into more heavily as we get closer to the end of the current contract,” he said. “There is someone posted in this building (Public Safety Building). There has been an open line with them from day one, and we feel really good about the direction they have taken and their willingness to come back to something to make sure it works to the best of their abilities.” D e L a u g h t e r responded during visitor comments by sharing an experience from Monday, July 1. “Parkview – there was a 27 minute response time Monday for somebody who fell on Wayne Street,” he said. “An ambulance did not come from Manchester, meanwhile, we have two ambulances parked here that were not

being manned on Monday. “(Fire chief) Cam (Kissinger) has had to wait multiple times to wait for ambulances.” Kissinger clarified the situation. “I had just come from a run where Silver Lake was on a run to Front Street,” he said. “The Manchester truck was already out on a call. The second truck was not staffed because of low staffing.” “If Parkview doesn’t have an ambulance close, they need to tell our dispatch they need to send the closest truck – Lutheran, Wabash, w h e r e v e r , ” DeLaughter said. “Somebody doesn’t need to be lying on a sidewalk for 27 minutes waiting for an ambulance to show up.” Tobias took notes, but per standard order of procedure, council does not immediately respond to visitor comments until it has further discussion, then responds the following meeting. The next council meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Public Safety Building.

Ravishing Radishes! A refreshing and rewarding way to start your day, this Les Radis Petit Déjeuner helps you to feel more ravishing…with radishes! Food stylist and photographer: Laura Kurella

Les Radis Petit Déjeuner

Prep time: 5 minutes; Total time: 5 minutes; Yield: 1 serving. 1-2 medium slice Rye, Pumpernickel or favorite bread 1-2 tablespoon Neufchatel, Creme Fraise or Greek Yogurt 5 mild radishes, sliced thin or spiral sliced. 1 tablespoon Honey (optional) Spread cheese or yogurt over bread. Slice radishes as desired then sprinkle over top of bread. Drizzle with honey, if desired.

Radish-Rhubarb Slaw Prep Time: 15 minutes. Total Time: 15 minutes; Yield: 4 servings. 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 11/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 3/4 teaspoon honey 3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons avocado oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 bunch of radishes, cut into matchsticks 2 large rhubarb stalks (about 8 ounces), cut into matchsticks 1 shallot, very thinly sliced 1 cup mint leaves

Some of my fondest childhood memories center on time I spent in our tiny, home garden, which my mother worked painstakingly to care for in the hopes that it would yield something amazing for our family to eat. However, with poor soil, which she often sighted as the reason so many plants would fail, one crop that was always sure to grow was the radish, which is how I first came to meet this ravishing, ruby-red summer garden treat! I would plop right down in the dirt and always end up filthy but I didn’t care because I loved running my fingers through the powdery soft dirt and feeling its coolness run over my skin just like a silky, cool sheet – ah! I was so amazed as a child that all it took to grow something was to take a tiny seed and plant it in the ground, especially when it came to radishes because they took no time to become seedlings and then on to become food we could eat in just a matter of a few weeks – how amazing, indeed! Delighted at the speed at which they grew as much as I was the fact that they gave Mom no reason to complain, all it took was getting a bite

of my very first, self-grown radish for me to become smitten with this veggie for life! Learning much from those early years with Mom out in the front yard, I have come to prefer my radishes as close to fresh-picked as possible because the older a radish gets – whether it is still in the ground or in your fridge – the drier and hotter its flavor seems to become. In addition to being one of my favorite, ravishing ruby treats, radishes also pack a lot of punch for puny small size. Known for their detoxification properties, radishes can help our liver and gallbladder, and our urinary and kidney functions, too! Radishes can also help clear congestion in our lungs, which is especially helpful when you have a cold (so remember this come winter), are high in fiber, low in calories, making them a great crunchy-munchie to snack on, and they contain Vitamin C, too! Offering us a great way to start our day and get our body’s functions moving well too, here now are some refreshing and rewarding ways to help you feel more ravishing -with radishes. ENJOY!

In a large bowl, whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, honey and mustard. While whisking, gradually add oil and whisk until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper then add prepared radishes, rhubarb, shallot and mint. Toss to coat. Taste and season as desired. Refrigerate until chilled before serving.

Crabby Radish Rolls Prep time; 15 minutes; Total time; 15 minutes; Yield; 4 servings. 1/2 pound lump or special crab meat (or chopped cooked shrimp) 1/4 cup mayonnaise 4 radishes, washed, stemmed and chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons celery leaves 1/2 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste 4 hot dog buns split

In a medium bowl, combine crab (or shrimp) mayonnaise, radishes, celery, celery leaves, apple, lemon juice and a 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper , or to taste.

Dividing evenly, fill the buns with the crabby radish mixture then serve immediately.

Plants enter season of Japanese beetles By Leesa Metzger Just as Chicago has two seasons; winter and road construction, our gardens enter the season of the Japanese beetle. Let the trumpets sound. It’s time to scout for Japanese beetles. Evidence suggests that adult beetles are

attracted to previously damaged leaves. Reducing feeding damage now can result in less feeding damage in the future. Japanese beetle adults are one quarter to one half inch long with copper colored wing covers and a shiny metallic green head. Kind of

attractive in a buggy sort of way. Japanese beetles also have the munchies for your favorite rose, linden, grape, raspberry and some 350 different plants. They generally do not feed on dogwood, forsythia, holly, lilac, evergreens and hosta. Plants in the smartweed family such as Persicaria are good indicators for Japanese beetles since they usually find those first. Japanese beetle adults feed on flowers and fruits and skeletonize leaves by eating all the leaf tissue and leaving the veins. Adults are most active from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on warm, clear summer days. Feeding is normally in the upper portions of plants. Beetles prefer plants in direct sun, so heavily wooded areas are rarely attacked. Adults are present until mid-August. After mating, females lay eggs in turf which hatch into grubs in August. Grubs feed on plant roots until cold weather drives them deeper into the soil. Adults emerge in summer of the following year. The bacterial control, milky spore, sold as Doom or Grub Attack is commonly recommended to control Japanese beetle grubs. However, it only controls Japanese beetle grubs and not our predominate lawn grub, annual white grub. Common lawn

grub controls such as A c e l y p r e n , imidocloprid (Merit) and beneficial nematodes will control several species of beetle grubs. Call Metzger Landscaping at 260982-4282 to sign up for a greenkeeper lawn care program to control grubs and weeds in your lawn with a Greenkeeper Fertilizer & Lawn Care Program. The beetles are good fliers and easily fly a couple miles in a single flight. They may travel 10 to 15 miles from where they lived as larvae. Typically, one-third of the adult Japanese beetles fly to a new host each day. Generally pesticide sprays of cabaryl (Sevin) to control the adults can reduce damage for up to two weeks. However, Sevin is toxic to bees and other beneficial insects. Synthetic pyrethroids can also be effective to control Japanese beetles. Informally the repellent Neem has not been shown to be effective. Picking Japanese beetles off by hand every morning may be just as effective as spraying. When disturbed, the beetles fold their legs and drop to the ground. Hold a can containing rubbing alcohol or soapy water below the infested leaves. Move the plant and the beetles will drop into the container and be killed. This is best done in the morning when they fly slower. Japanese beetle traps are not recommended where

a large beetle population exists. It has been shown repeatedly that the use of these traps results in increased plant damage compared to not using the traps. A number of birds such as grackles, cardinals and meadowlarks feed on adult beetles. Two native predator insects and a couple of introduced parasites may help to keep Japanese beetle populations in check. Protect natural enemies by keeping the use of c o nve n t i o n a l pesticides to a minimum. Several methods of control include floating row covers over the fruits, Pyola sprays (combination of canola oil and pyrethrum), and hand collecting. Although damage looks devastating, Japanese beetle feeding rarely kills woody plants. Therefore, confine control of beetles to plants in important landscape locations or plants of value.

Eel River clean-up planned Article provided Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has worked hard at organizing educational events for this summer. The SWCD has partnered with Manchester Alive, Manchester University and the Wabash County Highway Department to make the 2019 Eel River Clean-Up part of North Manchester’s Funfest this year. The Eel River Clean Up will be Saturday, July 27th and will run from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. We will be working in a 1.6 mile stretch of the river, filling Manchester University canoes with trash as we walk. Tennis shoes or boots are required, do

not wear sandals. Gloves, trash bags, and bottled water will be provided. Volunteers will meet at the North Manchester Covered Bridge at 8:00 a.m. After a short introduction, we will work our way down stream to the North Manchester Street Department. The Wabash County Highway Department will have two trucks to fill at the endpoint, one for recycling and one for trash. You will need to arrange transportation from this end point (North Manchester Street Department, 407 Wabash Rd., North Manchester). Due to the presence of large amounts of broken glass and rusted metal, we ask that all participants be at least 12.

Darl Hall Grew up in Urbana

Darl Eldon Hall was born on November 17, 1951 in Marion. He grew up on his family’s farm in Urbana, Indiana, where he hated gathering eggs, but enjoyed most every other aspect of farm life. Darl excelled at both academics and athletics, earning him a full scholarship to attend Indiana Central College (now the University of Indianapolis) to play basketball and study history. An adventurous, albeit brief, time spent student teaching led Darl to build a successful career in insurance. He never lost his rural roots, however, and excelled as a farm underwriter and later manager. Darl’s great loves in his life were his wife Marilyn Hall, daughters Emily Hall and Katy Orenchuk, and trains. He repaired model trains for over 40 years and even spent a summer in his youth working on the railroads. There was no rail yard too big, or model train engine too small, to ignite his interest. Darl is survived by Marilyn, Emily, and Katy (Chris), as well as his brother Stephen Gilbert (Sharon), and other beloved extended family. No services will be held at this time, per Darl’s wishes. In honor of his life, the family is requesting donations be made to install community benches along the banks of the Wabash in Montezuma, Indiana, Marilyn’s home town. Donations can be made online at https://www.gofundme.com/f/communitybench-in-memory-of-darl-hall or by mailing a check to Montezuma Park Board, P.O. Box 413, Montezuma, IN 47862. These benches run along the old B&O IndianapolisDecatur Line, a peaceful spot where, if you listen carefully enough, you just might hear a train whistle in the distance. If you’d like to celebrate the wonderful, loving Darl Hall, the family invites you to do one of the following: Watch the movies North by Northwest, Star Wars, or Tombstone Build a fire on the back patio with sticks you’ve collected around the neighborhood Take a nap on a Sunday afternoon (preferably with a cat on your lap) Shoot some hoops in the driveway on a chilly fall evening Enjoy a soft-serve swirl cone on a hot summer day Eat some swiss cheese (any time of the year will do) Order a Monster pizza from Noble Roman’s and relish every bite Sit and watch a train go by. Be sure to wave hello.

scorecards that recommend best use practices. Oklahoma hosts the national contest, which includes states from as far away as Hawaii, due to the importance of soil conservation and lessons learned from the Dust Bowl in the 1930s.

Headley family is in thick of things at Gas City speeedway GAS CITY — When Gas City I-69 Speedway stages its special holiday “Star-Spangled Spectacular” program complete with fireworks this Saturday night, it’s pretty safe to expect someone in the Headley family will be in the middle of the action at some point. After all, James Headley of Marion, is the winningest driver in the Grant County

quarter-mile clay oval’s history, and he once won five features at three different tracks over the Fourth of July weekend. His 15-year-old son, James (JimTom) Headley Jr. of Wabash, is leading the hornet division point standings at press time with two victories so far this year. And the pair finished first and second at a recent hornet feature,

with father beating son to the line. “I think it was around 2004,” the elder Headley said about his super-successful Independence Day weekend. “We ran street stocks Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, and we won every night. The races were at Gas City, Kokomo and Montpelier. “I remember after

James Headley Jr. (No. 00) leads his father, James Headley (No. 1) during the hornet feature last Friday night at Gas City I-69 Speedway. The elder Headley passed his son on lap eight and they went on to finish first and second in the 15-lap main event at the Grant County quarter-mile clay oval. Photo provided the last feature I came into the pits, crawled out of the car, laid down on the grass, and told the boys, “I’ve done my job. Now you’ll have to load it up; I’m too tired.”” Now 43 years old, Headley has won 11 championships in the street stock division, and has well over 100 feature victories since he started racing in 1996. “My first year out I won a feature, was Rookie of the Year, and finished second in points,” he recalled. “At that time 40 or 50 cars showed up every night, and we raced three times a week.”

On June 14 he was inducted into Gas City I-69 Speedway’s “Walk of Fame” for his success at the track, located between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne just west of exit 259 of Interstate 69. His car is No. 1, while his son races the No. 00 in the newlynamed hornets class. Dudding’s Heating and Cooling, Garriott Electric, Edwards Automotive and TJR Trucking sponsor the team, among other companies. Headley owns Headley Tree Service of Marion, and both he and his son are as

adept high in the air working out of a bucket on a crane trimming trees as they are in race cars speeding along the ground inches away from other ones at Gas City I-69 Speedway. They’re the second and third generation of Headleys to race at Gas City. “My dad, Elza Headley, raced here years ago in stock cars,” Headley explained. “He still comes every night to watch me and JimTom. I was raised on racing; we went to the races as a family, and still do. “When I was a boy I

rooted for my dad and Glenn Bradley, who still races here at Gas City. He’s 60-something now. I’ve known him my whole life. Gas City is close to home, and it’s just part of our life. “It’s a lot of fun, and it’s a way for our family and friends to get together,” he added. “On a normal night at Gas City there are at least 30 members of our family here. “Mostly they’re here to support JimTom,” he added with a grin. “I have two daughters too, and they’re big supporters of us.” The Headleys also drag race, primarily at Bunker Hill and Muncie. Those cars are different than the ones they drive at Gas City. “We have about five race cars in our garage at any given time,” Headley said. “There’s no room in the garage anymore, so some of them sit outside.” He also helps prepare some of the cars he and his son will race against. “I build a few cars, like this one,” he said,

Gas City speedway

A tribute to Miller’s Dear Editor: Over 50 years ago my Wabash fiancé introduced me to Lawrence Myers, and together we selected my diamond. The love affair with Wabash shopping had begun. It was the seventies, and our very first piece of furniture came from Wabash – a bright, yellow-flowered sofa, which except for some cheap lawn furniture, was the only piece in our Ball State apartment. Returning to Wabash, we made that wonderful man, Jack Miller our source to fill the farm home. Kitchen carpeting was glued down, a Tell City table set filled the kitchen, and matching La-Z-Boys were our resting spot each evening. We’d spy Jack cheering on the Boilermakers at Purdue and recognize that remarkable voice anywhere. People paid Jack when they were ready and too often asked him to pay the sales tax. He did. Excellent shops filled the little city of Wabash. How proud I was of the beautiful

Christmas gift for my mother of a crystal punch bowl set from King-Hipskind’s. Forty-three years ago we learned twins were on the way, and I told Jack from a car window to order another white crib. Soon after the twins arrived, I found a Christmas dress to fit at Wassman’s, with Dick and Mary Anglin complimenting me as I tried it on that evening. Later people often asked where I purchased such cute twin outfits, and, of course, it was in Wabash at Emma Lou’s and Youngsters. We never missed a Max’s Gentry sale, and headed to Hang-Ups for our daughter’s week at the fair as queen. Billings became Mary’s Billings, where piece by piece many of us collected

a Christmas village. Mary DeLauter stocked absolutely gorgeous gift items, especially for a wedding or shower, all at The D Shoppe. You absolutely could not do better in Ft. Wayne or Indy! Fortunately we still have The Frances Shoppe and a few others, but most of that remarkable Wabash era is gone. Today was another most difficult day. The parking lot was filled for the first of Miller’s Furniture “Going Out of Business” sale. Jack was gone. Son John had retired when the business sold to a Marion family. But there was Charlie, the Miller who had sold me my most favorite household item, a stonecast Golden Retriever. Those typically sold

...continued from Page 32 for near five hundred dollars, more than I wanted to spend for a statue, but I eyed him longingly. He sat in the store window for weeks, and on a cold, snowy January day, Charlie made me a deal on that dog. Because of ice-covered sidewalks, that dog spent the first few nights in the car in a garage separate from the house. Days later I lovingly carried in the retriever, and to this day it is my prized household piece. The stately animal commands center stage in the family room, almost always bringing comments from guests. I laugh that he doesn’t eat much. He is keeping watch. Today is a different time. Everyone is in a rush. The internet makes purchasing a mere push of a button, and in just a couple days a package is at your doorstep. But where is the story? Where is the memory? How can one do better than spy a special item in a window, strike a deal, and buy from Charlie Miller? — Phyllis Downey

How to submit letters to the editor The editorial staff of The Paper invites readers to submit letters to the editor on timely issues. To ensure fairness to everyone, we have established the following guidelines: Mailed and faxed letters must be signed. All submissions, including by e-mail, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. The editor reserves the

right to edit letters for length, content and readability. Also, per the editor’s judgment, personal attacks, inflammatory statements and legally objectionable material will not be printed. Personal attacks against individuals or businesses will not be printed. The editor must also limit readers to submitting a maximum of two letters per month, regardless of

pointing to the No. 33 that is driven by Kolton Sollars of LaFontaine. “We just put this one together. There’s probably about eight or so other drivers I help. Besides working on their cars, I give them pointers now and then.” He said the family used to race three nights a week, competing in about 50 events a year, but now concentrates on the events at Gas City. “It’s a good, family track,” he added. “Everyone who comes here will have a good time.” Not surprisingly, racing has been a way of life for his son too. “I built him a gokart track in the backyard when he was younger, so he’s been turning circles for a long time,” Headley said. “He ran his first demo derby when he was 10.” The younger Headley is in the class of 2022 at Southwood Jr.-Sr. High School. He doesn’t participate in other sports, but is focused on racing. He looks older than his age because like his father, he sports a beard. “It’s like a second job,” JimTom said of racing. “Some of the kids at school say it’s a waste of money, but

whether previous letters have been published, due to space allotments in each weekly issue. Please try limit all letters to 500 words or less. Letters may be hand carried to The Paper office, 606 N.

others say as long as you’re having fun, go for it. “And I like Gas City too,” he added. “The surface is usually tacky, which is the way I like it. They have good food too.” “The Headley family is a real fixture at Gas City,” said Jerry Gappens, promoter of the speedway. “Through three generations their success here is unparalleled by any other racing family. What they’ve accomplished as a family is pretty special.” Friday, July 12, is the “Christmas in July” show featuring non-wing sprint cars, UMP modifieds, street stocks, hornets and AMSA mini-sprints. Another special show is on the docket on Thursday, July 18 when the track hosts the USAC AMSOIL

sprint cars as part of Indiana Sprint Week. Non-wing microsprints will share the card. Fans can see the 2019 schedule and get additional information on the track’s w e b s i t e at GasCityI69Speedway.com.

How to help flowers withstand heat waves Heat waves are an inevitable part of summer in many places across the globe. While humans can escape indoors to air conditioned rooms when heat waves hit full swing, flowers planted around a property have no such luxury, putting their survival in jeopardy whenever the mercury rises to especially steamy heights. Wilted flowers that have succumbed to the summer sun are a sight many gardening enthusiasts can recognize. But there are ways to keep flowers safe and vibrant during periods of extreme heat. • Water at the

appropriate times of day. The National G a r d e n i n g Association notes that it’s best to water in the early morning and evening because less water will be lost to evaporation during these times of day than during the afternoon, when temperatures tend to be at their hottest. • Choose the right watering method. It’s not just when but also how you water that can affect flowers during summer heat waves. Aboveground sprinklers might be great for lawns, but the NGA notes that such sprinklers can encourage the spread of disease on

certain plants, including roses. Many gardening professionals recommend soaker hoses when watering flowers because they promote deep watering that can help the plants withstand the summer heat. If you must use an overheard watering system, set the timer so plants are watered in early in the morning or evening. • Routinely check the soil moisture. Soil moisture can help gardeners determine if their flowers have enough water to withstand the heat. The NGA advises gardeners to dig a 12-inch deep wedge (continued on page 37)

How to help flowers withstand heat waves ...continued from page 36 of soil from their gardens to determine its moisture levels. If the top six inches of the soil is dry, water. If that area is still wet or moist, the plants have enough moisture to withstand the heat. Check these moisture levels more frequently during heat waves than other times of year. • Avoid overwatering. Novice gardeners may be tempted to water more frequently when they see wilted leaves on their flowers. But wilted leaves are not necessarily indicative of suffering plants. Plants release moisture to protect themselves from excessive heat, and that release of moisture can cause leaves to wilt as the plants

try to protect themselves by providing less surface area that can be exposed to the sun. So long as soil moisture levels are healthy, the flowers

should be fine, even if their leaves have wilted. No gardener wants to see their flowers succumb to the summer heat.

Fortunately,

there

are many ways to

help flowers survive

heat waves.

Did you know? When tending to their lawns, homeowners are advised to pay attention to areas that may feature standing water. According to the

2019 Chevy Blazer 3.6 L V6 Cylinder Engine Automatic Front Wheel Drive

2019 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab LT 4 Wheel Drive Automatic

2019 Chevy Equinox 1.5L Turbo 4 Cylinder Engine All Wheel Drive Automatic

World Health Organization, standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can breed in great numbers in pools of water. Mosquitoes are known to carry diseases like malaria, West Nile virus and Zika. Furthermore, mosquitoes that bite pets can transmit heartworms, a serious problem if gone it goes undiscovered.

Standing water also can be a haven for bacteria, mold and parasites that are dangerous to human health. If standing, stagnant water is a problem in your yard, remediation is necessary. Directing downspouts away from the house can remediate standing water. Changing the grading of soil so that low spots are elevated is another way to reduce

instances of standing water. This may be a project that requires the assistance of a drainage professional. In addition, homeowners can remove standing water from empty flower pots, pool covers, bird baths, and more to reduce the likelihood that mosquitoes will appear on their properties.
