Wabash residents join in nationwide protests

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com After George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020, protests have broken out in all 50 states and every continent except Antarctica.

George Floyd was a 46-year-old black man who died after Minneapolis, Minn., by police officer, Derek Chauvin, was videotaped kneeling on Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes after he was handcuffed and placed lying face down on the street.

Protesters across the globe are demanding justice for Floyd and many other black individuals who have been killed, with no justice, by police officers around the country.

For example, many protesters are also referencing the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician who was fatally shot eight times while she was asleep in her home by Louisville Metro police officers who raided the wrong home.

Throughout the past week, many citizens of Wabash County have gathered in groups to protest the injustice as well.

As of now, peaceful protests have taken place around Wabash from June 2-6.

Kryston Henderson planned a peaceful protest on the steps of the Wabash County Courthouse on June 2.

The Paper of Wabash County talked with her about why she chose to protest that day.

“Racism is everywhere, there is no one who is untouched by this,” she said. “This is out of my comfort zone, but I want to do it, I want to stand up for the people who aren’t here to speak up.”

“If nothing else, I hope that we can educate at least one person about what is going on and that it can happen right here in our sweet little hometown, and I don’t want it

to.”

Another peaceful demonstration took place on June 3 at the intersection of Cass and Stitt Streets.

Marti Striker, who attended this protest told The Paper that for her, this movement is twofold for her.

“To me, black lives matter and I want the violence against minorities to end, and also my son is a police officer and my husband was a police officer so I see them as the good guys,” she said.

“That’s why my sign says ‘hope,’ because I’ve seen on TV the police officers who kneel with the protestors, so my hope is that we show that there are good guys on both sides and that we learn from this death.”

“It’s nice to see in Wabash that people have been doing this, and there is a lot of support,” said Tracy Wimberly, another person protesting on the June 3.

Another group of protesters took the steps of the courthouse on June 4 and 5, to show their support for the movement.

Brandi Long told The Paper that she is in support of (continued on page 11)

Train, semi collide at Carroll Street crossing

Paper from inside the semi trailer is strewn about the crash site.

2nd stuck semi prompts mayor to close crossing A Norfolk Southern train collided with a semi-tractor and trailer that became stuck on the Carroll Street crossing about 11:10 p.m. Thursday, June 4.

Slightly more than 12 hours later, a second semi-tractor and trailer became stuck at the same railroad crossing.

That incident prompted Mayor Scott Long to order the crossing temporarily closed until further notice.

Wabash Police investigated the crash and allege that Rite R. Lett, 64, Olympia, Wash., was driving a 2019 Freightliner semi with trailer.

The semi got stuck on the high hump at the Carroll Street railroad crossing.

A westbound Norfolk Southern train collided with the semi-trailer that was stuck on the tracks.

Manchester schools facing financial crisis

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — The Manchester Community Schools Board of Trustees met for a special meeting Wednesday evening, June 3, to discuss the financial situation of the school district.

Within the report

by MCS Business Manager Jeremy Markham, the district is facing a potential $1 million cut in funding for the 202021 school year that could result in school building consolidation and Reduction in Force (RIF), meaning potential loss of staff, including teachers.

The biggest reason for the loss of funding is the anticipation of MCS losing approximately 65 students for the 2020-21 school year.

The consolidation of school resources would include Manchester Elementary School to house students grades PreK-5 (640 students), Manchester Junior High (current Manchester Administration Office building) to house grades 6-7 (245) and Manchester Junior-Senior High School building to house grades 8-12 (609).

The consolidation of resources (buildings) and the repurpose of Manchester Intermediate School would save $286,000 for the district.

RIF savings, with staff being reinstated as permissible by stu-

dent enrollment, save $625,411.

Other considerations for cost reduction included savings on utilities and operating costs ($185,256), and eliminate positions not needed due to combining services ($208,143), for a total of $1,522,900.

The board was originally scheduled to vote on the financial savings plan but after discussion between MCS Superintendent Dr. Teresa Gremaux and the Manchester Teachers Association, it was decided to delay the vote and only hear the presentation and the status of MCS. MTA only recently found out about potential changes in the middle of May with no details, according to MTA Discussion Chairperson Erica Vogel in her public comment to the board.

MTA President Jeff Huber informed the board that MTA asked Gremaux for details of the plans on May 28 and that the administration was not ready to share the details.

“From previous discussions, we were

SoulShot Band to perform June 10 at 13-24 Drive-in The second week of the 13-24 Summer Drive-in Summer Music Series will continue on Wednesdsay, June 17, with a performance by the SoulShot Band.

Gates open at 4 p.m. and music is from 5 to 7 p.m.

The band consists of John Kirkwood on vocals; Rick Craun on keyboards; Bob Velasquez on guitar; Ben Black on bass; and John Hancock on drums.

Its musical offerings range from Bruno Mars, Sam Cooke and Justin Timberlake to Stevie Ray Vaughn, Boz Skaggs, Peter Gabriel and more.

The series is sponsored by The Paper of Wabash County, Edward Jones, the Honeywell Foundation, Ecowater Systems, Lunquist Appraisals and Real Estate, Autumn Ridge, Owens Corning Thermafiber, Stanley Steemer and 105.9 The Bash.

aware that RIFs and other budget cuts were on the table, and that we have [also] have an obligation to discuss them,” Huber said in a written statement. “When pressed for certain details, only non-specific details were given. We were aware about Laketon (MIS) closing was being seriously considered.

MTA knew we had an obligation to discuss this.”

Huber added that, with the impact of the school taking such drastic measures and voting on them in the same board meeting (June 3), MTA asked Gremaux to consider not having the board vote at that time, which she obliged.

“We thank Dr. Gremaux for acknowledging that and making that change,” Huber said.

Huber added that when MTA found out about the list of teachers who are being considered for a RIF, that also needed to be mutually

looked at.

“MTA has been backed into a corner and we are trying to do the right thing and the legal thing,” Huber said. “We would like the board to engage in and direct the administration to engage in a transparent and open process that would take steps to help the state of the district financially.

“We acknowledge that some cuts and RIFs are needed, but nothing approaching the scale that is being put forward at this time,” he added. “We would like to discuss that but haven’t been able to do so. We think teachers and

the community would support closing a building if we knew that it would result in savings that could save positions in the district, but we do not know how the proper research has been done.”

Board members Mike Hensley and Dave Terflinger started a discussion on how much time would be needed for the MTA and MCS administration to meet to discuss

options that could cut costs and potentially cut RIFs. Both parties agreed to begin discussions for options that could cut costs and RIFs Thursday, June 4, to bring back to the Board at the next meeting, currently scheduled for June 9.

With the importance of the discussion, Terflinger suggested giving MTA and MCS administration time to meet and work out a plan for

what will happen moving forward, which was agreed on by both parties.

In order to give both parties the time needed to come to an agreement to present to the school board, the regular monthly MCS Board meeting has been rescheduled to Tuesday, June 16, at 6 p.m. at the Manchester Administration Building, 404 W. Ninth St.

Brown wins GOP nomination for Wabash County Coroner

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County will have a new coroner in January.

Republican challenger Ken Brown defeated Republican incumbent Suzie Lewis in the June 2 Primary Election.

The election, generally held in May, was pushed back by Gov. Eric Holcomb because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Because of COVID-19, there were just two voting centers in the county, one in Wabash and the other in North Manchester.

In the coroner’s race, the lone contested race on the county level, Brown received 1,942 votes, or 56.47 percent, to Lewis’ 1,497.

Allthe other county races were uncontested.

Republicans Benjamin D.R. Vanderpool received

3,290 votes for Superior Court Judge; Marcie Shepherd received 3,153 for County Auditor; Luann Layman received 3,145 for County Treasurer; Cheri Slee received 3,188 for County Surveyor; Brian Haupert received 3,131 for County Commissioner District 1; Barry Eppley received 3,100 for County Council District 3; and Philip

Dale, Matt Dillon and Lorissa Sweet received 2,651, 2,745 and 2,621 votes, respectively, for the three Wabash County Council At-Large seats.

There were no Democratic candidates on the county level.

In state races, Russell Reahard received 2,033 votes in Wabash County in his race for the GOP nomination for the Indiana House District 18 seat. His GOP challenger, Craig Snow, received 1,396 votes. Although Reahard won Wabash County, it doesn’t mean he won the nomination. The seat serves several counties, and the total of votes in those locations will determine the winner.

On the Democratic ticket, Chad Harris was unopposed for the Indiana House nomination, receiving 988 votes.

85 Hope clinic set to reopen KEN BROWN Also on the state level, GOP incumbent Eric Holcomb received 3,339 votes while Democrat challenger Woodrow “Woody” Myers received 962 votes.

In the race for the U.S. House of Representatives, GOP incumbent Jackie Walorski received 2,518 votes to challenger Christopher Davis’ 920 votes for the Second District seat.

On the Democratic ballot, Patricia Hackett received 700 votes to Ellen Marks’ 389 for the Second District seat.

As it is with the Indiana House seat, the U.S. House’s Second District seat is comprised on many counties.

85 HOPE Free Medical Clinic of Wabash County will be reopening its doors for face-toface appointments the week of June 15.

Provider appointments, intakes, and other customer needs will resume being done in person along with other normal operations of the clinic.

85 HOPE closed its doors for several weeks in March and April due to the COVID-19 crisis and then began doing phone appointments with current clients in mid-April.

“We are anxious to reopen and see our clients again face-to-face,” says Laura Spaulding, Executive Director. “The phone appointments have been an acceptable substitute, but being able to examine a client in person is important to providing the best care.”

85 HOPE has two clinic sites located at the Friends Church in Wabash and the Town Life Center in North Manchester. According to Spaulding, both clinics will be adhering to extra precautions when they reopen.

“Our precautions will be similar to other healthcare facilities,” she said. “We will have limited staff and number of appointments. All clients and staff will wear face masks. Clients will wait in their cars and have their temperatures taken prior to entering the building.”

85 HOPE Wabash has office hours Tuesdays and Thursdays 1-5 p.m. and scheduled clinic appointments on Thursdays 5-8 p.m.

85 HOPE Manchester has office hours every Tuesday 3-5 p.m. and scheduled clinic appointments on the first and third Tuesdays from 5-8 p.m. Both clinics are accepting new clients.

To be eligible, clients must be 18 and over, a resident of Wabash County, low-income, and either uninsured or under-insured. Interested persons should call 260-274-0011 (Wabash) or 260-306-8309 (Manchester) and leave a message.

First Farmers, pork producers donate food to county pantries First Farmers Bank & Trust, in partnership with pork producers and processors throughout the state, has initiated a direct assistance program to provide protein to food banks throughout Indiana and eastern Illinois.

The F.I.S.H. Food Pantry and the food pantry and Living Well in Wabash County each received donations on Thursday, June 4.

“Pigs to People to Pork “was established due to the bank’s unique awareness of several processes taking place as a result of COVID-19, causing a dramatic disruption in the availability of protein to those in need. Following the shutdown of major processing plants in the area, producers are facing few or no options in the market. Less processing means less pork on grocery shelves available to the public and therefore even less protein available to food banks providing for those in need.

Chief Agricultural Lending Officer, Jeff Rodibaugh, and other key bank personnel created an ad hoc network of farmers and local processors willing to donate or dramatically reduce livestock and processing costs.

Partnering with state not-for-profit “Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry” will allow for an exponentially greater impact.

“During this time of uncertainty, our lending team called on their lifelong relationships to find the compassion of local processing owners and staffs to put in extra hours to process pigs that are getting precariously big for their stressed owners into onepound ground pork packages for the people of our communities. We are in the relationship business of Agriculture and our passionate commitment to our people is what sets us apart at First Farmers. It is the hope of our employees, processors and pig farmers that through our “Pigs to People to Pork” partnership with Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry that we will provide a smile to a person or child that was

looking for a meal this week.” Chief Agricultural Lending Officer, Jeff Rodibaugh “Our various partners in the pork industry were immediately aware of what a major processing shutdown would create and were quick to act to help others. To witness so many people extend good will during time of crisis is humbling and inspirational”.

Tade Powell, Senior Vice President, Communications, First Farmers Bank & Trust.

The Pigs to People to Pork effort initiated by our commercial and agricultural lending team is one of three distinct outreach programs taking place at First Farmers Bank & Trust under the umbrella of “Growing Good”. For more information, please visit www.ffbt.com/gr owinggood.

New trolley set to arrive Visit Wabash County, in partnership with the City of Wabash, is excited to announce that the new Trolley No.85 will be delivered this month.

The search for a new trolley began over a year ago when the current 20-passenger trolley started to show significant mechanical and safety concerns. With age, the vehicle has

become increasingly hard to service.

The 20-passenger trolley was purchased used in 2014 in partnership between Visit Wabash County, the City of Wabash, and Wabash Marketplace as a vehicle to be used as a peoplemover for large festivals and events. The request for use of the trolley continues to increase year after

year for private tours and public events.

In 2019, Trolley No.85 had 2,611 riders total from festivals, First Fridays, private events, and experience tours.

Because of the increasing mechanical issues, the trolley was unable to run for many private and public events.

Due to the age of the vehicle, it is nearly impossible to find

parts to repair and maintain it.

Understanding the service and programs that the trolley offers the local community as well as attracting tourism to the county, Mayor Scott Long recognized the potential to leverage the safer, larger trolley to grow the tourism that supports our local attractions, restaurants, and retailers. Long decided to partner with Visit Wabash County and invest in a people-mover that was safe, efficient, and would serve the city and county in a multitude of ways.

Long told The Paper of Wabash County that the new trolley cost “just over $200,000 which was a budgeted amount this year.”

After numerous site visits and interviews with cities using trolley-style vehicles, a 40-passenger diesel trolley has been secured from Hometown Trolley based in Crandon, Wisconsin.

“The trolley has become a favored symbol of charm and entertainment for our community,”

The new trolley — a joint project between the City of Wabash and Visit Wabash County — is expected to arrive later this week. Photo provided Long said. “In addition to running free for public events, the Visit Wabash County team is dedicated to programing experience tours that attract visitors to our area, while still serving our citizens in a fun and engaging way.”

The new trolley will be operated and scheduled by Jennifer Long-Dillon, tourism manager for Visit Wabash County.

United Fund accepting applications for funds

Southwood seniors honored

Photos by Joseph Slacian

Wabash County United Fund, Inc. is now accepting funding applications for its 2020 Annual Campaign, announced Steve Johnson, Executive Director of United Fund.

Eligible agencies include 501(c)3 organizations serving Wabash County.

Organizations interested in receiving a portion of this funding for specific programs must complete and submit an application and budget summary to United Fund by Friday, June 26, 2020.

In order for programs to be considered for funding, they must meet one or more of United Fund’s focus initiatives: Education: Address the education challenge by offering effective strategies and approaches to all income levels, especially early childhood education, in order to increase graduation rates and create educated communities in Wabash County.

Health/Healthy Living: A healthy lifestyle typically leads to a longer, more productive life. Community members are connected to available physical and mental health support resources.

Income/Financial Stability: Strategies for community change that help families meet their basic needs, gaining the financial capability to accomplish their long-term financial goals.

“This year’s United Fund campaign will be particularly important since there are so

many people impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.” said Mark Frantz, 2020 president of the United Fund Board of Directors. “Many programs supported by United Fund are aimed at helping people through rough financial times,” he added.

In order to qualify for this funding program, agencies must agree to maintain 501(c)3 status, must have a local volunteer board of directors that meets regularly, must keep accurate records that conform with Standards of Account and Financial Reporting, and must submit monthly program reports of activity to United Fund.

Funding for selected agency programs will begin in January 2021.

Parkview Wabash workers grateful for support Dear Editor: Summer is officially upon us. Hopefully, you enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing Memorial Day weekend while still socially distancing and taking the precautions we’ve all incorporated into our daily lives since COVID-19 came on the scene.

Thinking back over the spring, I am amazed at how much has happened over the past three months, and what a debt of gratitude we owe to local residents. On behalf of all of our Parkview Wabash Hospital co-workers, I want to thank Wabash County for the incredible support that has kept us going through challenging times.

You’ve been so generous: Delivering pizzas, sweets, coffee, hot

meals and more to fuel our co-workers Making cloth masks and face shields for us Donating gowns, masks and “ear savers” Bringing us hand sanitizer, facial tissue, disinfecting wipes and goodie bags Praying for – and with – us, and encouraging us with parking lot gatherings, a fire truck parade, and local signs and cards What a giving commu-

nity this is! We’ve really felt the love. We’re grateful to every individual, business, church, union, student group and organization that has reached out to support us!

You’ve boosted morale as our co-workers have adapted the way they provide care, responding to rapid changes in protocols, new guidelines for personal protective equipment (PPE), altered routines and much more. I’m so proud of our hospital

and EMS teams for the way they’ve stayed flexible while remaining focused on providing all of our patients with the best possible care!

Part of adapting to this new COVID-19 reality has been all of the new safety measures we’ve put in place to protect the health of co-workers and patients alike: Enhanced cleaning procedures Appropriate PPE for all patients and team members Patients being screened for COVID-19 before and upon arrival Precautions to keep those with known or suspected COVID-19 separate from others Staggered appointment scheduling to limit the number of people in waiting areas These have enabled us to continue providing

care for patients with a variety of medical needs during the pandemic.

Whether for an emergency situation or a chronic condition, it’s critical to seek expert care in a timely way, so don’t delay care!

Telehealth and some inperson visits are available. You can explore options for virtual care at Parkview.com/CareFrom Home.

To learn more about the changes we’ve made, service updates and the latest on COVID-19, visit Parkview.com/COVID19.

Meanwhile, even though summer may tempt us to relax our vigilance, we all need to continue precautions: Frequent handwashing for at least 20 seconds Staying home when sick, and self-isolating from your family members if you have COVID-19 symp-

toms Wearing a mask whenever you’re around other people in public Maintaining social distancing (staying at least six feet apart) The novel coronavirus is highly contagious and will be with us for the foreseeable future. You know it can cause mild to severe symptoms, and it can be fatal. What you may not know is that some patients end up with debilitating side effects that remain for weeks and months. Keep taking this virus seriously.

While many things may be different right now, we are still here for you. As you have been here for us.

Our Parkview Wabash family is proud to care for yours. — Marilyn Custer-Mitchell, President, Parkview Wabash Hospital

Cool Hand Cuke!

By Laura Kurella I don’t think I can recall a single day in my life that I didn’t love cucumbers. In fact, all it took was slicing into one to get me running to the kitchen!

I do recall being afraid of their seeds, though, due to a tale a sister once told me, stating that if I were to ever swallow a seed, it would grow into a plant inside of me and vines would start to sprout out my nose!

Harboring such scary thoughts made it difficult for the younger version of me to enjoy cucumbers without carefully spitting out each and every seed.

Thank God, I grew older and wiser, and discovered that the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, prized cucumber for many uses, and not just for food.

Louis XIV cherished cucumbers so much that the invention of greenhouse cultivation came to be out of his desire to have cucumbers available to him yearround!

Possessing a long list of benefits, cucumbers are an excellent anti-inflammatory, and provide flavonol, which helps improve brain health and speed up brain performance.

Rich in vitamins, especially vitamin B complex which includes vitamin B1, vitamin B5 and vitamin B7. Vitamin B7 is also known as biotin which is very effective in relaxing the nervous system, reduce the effects of stress and anxiety, and help with hair growth.

Containing high levels of potassium, cucumbers help with muscle contraction and heart function, and their fiber can help reduce cholesterol and help prevent heart blockage.

Rich in silica, which helps develop strong, healthy connective tissues and healthier, brighter skin, cucumbers also

possess antioxidants with strong cancerfighting abilities that can help prevent free radicals from attacking the body and become a disease.

Cucumbers can also help prevent constipation and kidney stones, remove accumulated toxins and waste materials from the blood and gut, and help to effectively reduce and control blood sugar levels.

Cucumbers are also an alkaline food, meaning they can help counteract acidic issues in the body, help normalize body temperature during summer, and counter the effects of uric acid, which helps prevent inflammation from conditions like arthritis, asthma, and gout.

Used topically, cucumbers can help treat sunburn, swelling under the eyes, and help treat psoriasis, eczema, and acne.

Offering so many benefits, and fresh, delicious flavor, here now are some pleasing ways to go full on, “cool hand cuke.”

Enjoy!

Wabash protests this movement because she has a son who is mixed race.

“I see racism here, because when I walk into places with my 14-year-old son, he gets a second head turn, and I do not,” said Long.

She also spoke on the fact that although many people have driven by and showed their support, many people are angry that they are protesting and will yell to then, “All lives matter.”

“I hear them say that and I think, yes, of course all lives matter, but black lives are in danger right now, and if things are bad enough to start a movement this big, then the issues are very real.”

Paige Branson, another protester from that day, held a sign that said “Turn off the news and love your neighbor.”

“The news will

always have their own narrative to push, regardless of what is going on,” she said.

Casey Weiss, another protester said that she has friends on the front lines in Chicago that are experiencing something very different than what the news stations are portraying.

The largest protest that took place last week, organized by Kennedy Watson, a Manchester University student and Wabash native, covered the sidewalks of downtown Wabash at the intersection of Wabash and Market streets.

At this protest, a flyer was passed out titled “Your Guide to Understanding ‘Black Lives Matter’ Wabash County.”

The flyer provided statistics such as: black people make up less than 1 percent of

Wabash County, make up 9.1 percent of Indiana’s population, and 13.4 percent of the U.S. population; rules of conduct for the protest that included no protesting in the streets that would block the flow of traffic, no profanity on signs and that all fact-based information displayed on signs be fact checked, and for everyone to respect others’ boundaries.

The flyer also gave information on how protesters could help further than protesting. These tips on how to help included: signing petitions, donating, standing up to racist jokes comments, and actions, sharing knowledge with others around you and opening up a discussion regarding systemic racism and the Black Lives Matter Movement, educating yourself,

family and friends about racism using books, podcasts, films and other resources, and voting.

Emily Perkins, one of the peaceful protestors who stood downtown on Saturday said that although this protest was small in the grand scheme of things, that it was nice to see community members show up.

Perkins signs read “If you want change, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable,” and “If you can’t see the problem, you are part of the problem.”

“I think it's important for small communities like ours, which can often be a breeding ground for racism, to be extra vocal,” said Perkins.

“It's a human rights issue. It's a heart issue. The fact that it's even remotely controversial tells us just how used to racism we've gotten in this country.”

CENTER FOR HISTORY RECEIVES CARES GRANT: Nonprofit organizations that provide public humanities programming to Hoosiers across the state will receive more than $500,000 in operating support to help with funding relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Indiana Humanities awarded CARES Grants to 74 organizations. The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) provided the funding to Indiana Humanities as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act economic stabilization plan appropriated by the U.S. Congress. “The CARES Act includes provisions to help small businesses and Hoosiers in many industries, including those employed by

public humanities such as cultural sites, libraries, and museums. The funds appropriated for Indiana Humanities CARES Grants will help support these programs through this difficult time,” said Senator Mike Braun. CARES Grant recipients from Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District include: InterAction Initiative – Mishawaka ($5,000); North Manchester Historical Society – North Manchester ($5,000); Northern Indiana Historical Society – South Bend ($10,000); Pulaski County Public Library – Winamac ($10,000); SyracuseWawasee Historical Museum – Syracuse ($5,000); The Miami Nation of Indians of the State of Indiana – Peru ($7,500); Wabash County Historical Museum – Wabash

($7,500). The grants do not require a match and will be distributed to the organizations in June.

“These CARES grants will help meet immediate needs at cultural institutions around the state, allowing Indiana museums, archives, libraries and historical societies to maintain vital operations,” said NEH Chairman Jon Parrish Peede.

“Thank you to Indiana Humanities for their swift and judicious distribution of CARES Act funding to the many humanities organizations suffering financial distress during the pandemic.”

A THOUGHT TO PONDER: “In Life, doing the right thing but coming up on the short end can be frustrating. But should we abandon doing the

right thing just because of an isolated incident or result we did not want? In the sport of tennis, losing a point by doing the right thing lends to winning more points in the right way in the long run. I tell students not to abandon a good pattern of play or shot selection just because they did not win that one point. Stick to the good plan and you will win out in the end.

Same with our Covid 19 life style do the right thing and we will all win in the end. Enjoy getting back to our “normal” life just be cautious so we can all be winners.”

EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

PASTOR ROB MACE has some thoughts for us: I

need wisdom.

Wisdom will bring understanding to my knowledge and lead me to use that knowledge in a wholesome way. Wisdom will also

give me discretion in my decisions and help me make good and healthy choices.

But we see in Proverbs 2 that wisdom will deliver us from evil. There is evil all around and it is not new. In the Garden of Eden, we saw evil, the great flood was brought about due to evil, and Israelites faced evil in captivity and in their own ranks, the kings of the Hebrew people were evil and faced evil. Jesus Himself faced evil in the temptations. So evil is not new. But what is evil?

Proverbs 2 lays out the characteristics of evil and we will deal with just a few. Verse 12 is characterized by perverted speech.

Perversion is to take what is good and use it for bad. We hear speech all the time that perverts the truth and distorts or deceives. Our speech is to be truthful, wholesome, good, building up, and gives grace to the hearer.

Our words come from our heart and either good comes out or evil. Our speech reveals our hearts

condition.

Evil forsakes the path of righteousness and walks in the way of darkness. We are to live upright, holy, and righteous. It doesn’t matter what others do, we are to walk in a way that reflects good and decent. The way of darkness is used in scripture to show the deviant way and that it reflects actions that want to be hidden.

Much evil is done in the night so not to be seen. These actions are not acceptable and want to be hidden so as not to be seen. God is light and is the revealer of sin.

God is light and will bring judgement on each of us for what we have done, whether good or bad.

Evil not only does sinful acts, but rejoices in doing evil and delights in the perverseness of evil.

Evil cheers when wickedness prevails and is glad when others are hurt. Anger, wrath, malice are all parts of evil that are accepted by evil. Evil will encourage more evil and bring about great confusion. Evil delights in the

destruction of others, not realizing the danger it brings. This way is not only physical actions but the heart of the problem.

The heart that is filled with evil celebrates all the wrong things.

Evil is hard to figure because it is crooked and devious.

Just when you think you have figured it out, it goes another direction. Evil is crooked and cannot be trusted. Evil is devious and serves only selfish gain and brings much hurt.

Evil spelled backwards is live. God wants us to live and have life abundantly.

Evil steals that from us and only takes us down a very dangerous road. Choose life and be wise.

Pastor Rob serves as Pastor at the Roann Brethren Church. Services are Sundays at 1 a.m. and he is available to encourage you as needed.

I CAN BE REACHED by email at meyerann@centurylink.net or by phone 765-833-2614.

News deadline will be Wednesday at 10 a.m.

Teams play on the Urbana softball diamond. Photo provided

Urbana was the host to a fast pitch softball tourney this last weekend. There were ten teams competing for the title of Fast Pitch Champions. These teams came from all over the country.

There were teams from Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana. These players were from different parts of each state and to my understanding, two pitchers were from another part of the world, Venezuela located in the northern part of South America.

The tourney started Friday evening around 6 p.m. with two games. The tourney was alternated between Urbana and Lagro ballfields all weekend with the final championship game played here in Urbana.

One of the teams that played was the Wabash Pride. They defeated the Hustle Hogs 8-5, Bandits 6-5 and Braves 13-1.

Reapers shut out Wabash Pride and won 6-0 and beat the Snappers 6-1.

Marshall Lightning played Bandits and beat them 16-3, Meister 8-0, Hogs 6-3.

Brewers played Meister and won 8-0, beat Wabash Sting 121 and Lightning 8-0.

Snappers went up against Wabash Sting and won 8-5 and later played the Reapers and annihilated them 10-0. Hustle Hogs played Meister and won 6-5, a real close game this one was.

Bravoes played against the Bandits and won 6-4 then played the Brewers and just pulled this one out 3-2.
