Sharp Creek first-graders share turkey recipes Students in Mrs. Va n l a n d i n g h a m ’ s first grade class at Sharp Creek Elementary School would like to share their recipes for Thanksgiving turkey: Addy Rosen: Buy a turkey at Krogers. They are in the freezer section of the store. Get one without any pink on it. Walk to the cash register and put it on the thing that takes it to the person. Pay $50 for the turkey. When you get home put the turkey in a bucket and sprinkle seasoning salt on it. Put the bucket in the garage because it leaks. Put the top on the bucket and check it every 16 minutes. Make sure the bucket is plugged in or the turkey won’t cook! Leave it in the bucket for an hour and a half...it takes forever! The turkey is done when it is kind of b row n i s h - p i n k i s h . Pull the knob that goes through the turkey and carry the turkey into the kitchen. Put it on a plate and cut it up. Let daddy cut the turkey because he’s good at it. Serve the turkey with chips, green beans and mashed potatoes. Make sure you put salt and pepper on the potatoes. Put it on the table and eat it. Well, pray first...and then eat it! Morgan Bever: Go to Wal-Mart to buy a turkey. I think the turkeys are outside. They are wrapped up in a black thing with stuff on the top and they are not alive. Get a big turkey because you will have a lot of people to eat with. Take the turkey home. Get the turkey out of the package and take the fat out of the turkey. You put your hand in the turkey and grab the fat. Then throw it in the trash. Not the

turkey, just the fat! Get the fat off the top of the turkey, too. Just swipe it off the top. Put some salt on the turkey and it’s ready to cook. Put the turkey on a pan and put it in the oven. Make the oven really hot, like 24 degrees. Cook the turkey until the timer gets down to one. Everybody will be there to eat with you. Make sure you have mashed potatoes, broccoli, salad and apple dumplings. Put turkey decorations and stickers on the table. You will need two tables because there will be 69 people at your house. After dinner you can play outside. If it snows, put your snow clothes on. When you’re done playing, everybody leaves. Mom will clean up the mess and I will help her.

Nick Bollan: Go to Wal-Mart to get a turkey. Go to the number six aisle, and the turkey is on the right. The turkeys are fake, not real. Get a big one that’s three inches long. Bring it home. Put the turkey in the washer (the place where you put your clothes) and put two cups of soap in the washer. Now it’s clean enough to cook. Take the turkey to the kitchen. Put salt on the turkey so it doesn’t get too hot. Get a “cook pan” for the turkey. It doesn’t have a lid. Put the turkey on the pan and put it on the grease. Cook it for 10 minutes. Watch it so it doesn’t get hot! When the turkey is done, it will be brownish-dark. Use gloves and put the turkey on a plate. Put some grapes, peaches, apples, carrots and

potatoes around the turkey. Now it’s time to eat the turkey! It will taste like chicken. Patrick Devall: Trap a turkey in a net in the woods. Have your dad help you set up the trap. Put sticks in the ground to hold the net. When a turkey comes, pull a string

and the net will come up around the turkey. Put the turkey in your truck. Take it home. Tie the net to a tree so he can’t get away and shoot the turkey. Take it to the barn and scrape the feathers and skin off of the turkey. Make an Indian hat out of the feathers. Chop the

head off. Cook the turkey in the oven at 10 degrees for six minutes. Put one of those meat thermometers in the turkey so you can see how hot the inside is getting. You don’t want the bones to get too hot because it would burn your (continued on page 5)

Sheriff’s Department to purchase two new vehicles

Wabash County Commissioners approved the purchase of two new vehicles for the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department at their Nov. 22 meeting. Steve Hicks requested $21,873 for each of the Dodge Chargers, which will be purchased from Wabash Valley Chrysler. These funds will be taken from the Department’s 2011 budget. Concerns were expressed that the budget has not been certified by the State as of yet. “If we order them now we get them in February,” Hicks explained. “If we wait until January it will be March. Some of our vehicles are getting up there and need replaced.” The motion to purchase the cars was made, seconded and carried. Hicks requested permission to hire Sheriff-Elect Bob Land on Dec. 1 as a sheriff ’s deputy in order to make a more smooth transition. He also requested to hire Dan Johnson on Jan. 1, 2011, to fill Land’s place. Both requests were granted.

Kunkel Cruise-In set to be held Aug. 19 and 20

MEMBERS OF THE KUNKEL CRUISE-IN BOARD present a check for $10,000 to Ashley Stoneburner, executive director of the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Fort Wayne. Pictured are (from left): Greg Pettit, Bill Rettig, Ashley Stoneburner and Gary Bryant. (photo provided) A popular Wabash event during August is the annual Kunkel Cruise-In. The cruise-in fills the plaza and streets surrounding the Honeywell Center. More than 300 cars and motorcycles are on display during the two-day event. The cruise-in has grown to be a fun filled weekend event

with something for everyone. In addition to the car show activities visitors can take free tram rides to Charley Creek Gardens, the Wabash County YMCA, the Dr. James Ford Historical Home and the Wabash County Historical Museum. Dave Kunkel, former senior vice president of manufactur-

ing for Ford Meter Box, had a passion for cars. One of the greatest pleasures in his life was driving his metallic blue Corvette convertible. Following Dave’s passing because of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in February 2000, the Kunkel cruise-in was started in Dave’s honor. The event has

raised tens of thousands of dollars for researching a cure for ALS. Dave was always willing to help with worthy causes and would lend his time and efforts for the betterment of his community. Acting on his behalf, many others are now working to help bring hope to those who suffer from ALS. Today the cruise-in is organized by the Dave Kunkel Foundation, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. The 2011 Kunkel Cruise-In will be held Aug. 19 and 20, 2011. If you have a question about the cruise-in, contact Bill Rettig at 260-5637687, or for the bike show, Stan Stapleton at 260-571-8760. Information is also available at the Kunkel Cruise-in web site: http://www.kunkelcruise-in.org.

Shepherd expresses appreciation to former classmates

Dear editor, A special thank you to the Manchester High School Class of 1990. On Oct. 16, our 20-year reunion was held at the home of Gary Casper. Due to my health, I was unable to attend but I later learned that the entire class and spouses paused for a few moments and said a prayer for me and my two sons, Bryce and Trevor. That really touched my heart knowing that you cared so much. A special thanks to my fellow classmate and good friend, Shane Greer, for coming to my home and bringing me a picture of the classmates that attended that night, and the special gifts that were sent meant a lot too. Thank you all so very much. Toby Shepherd

First, let me start out by apologizing to any of our guests that were there for lunch that day and so patiently waited for their meals during all of the confusion. To my Culver’s team members, staff and Owner Dawn Wayman thank you for your quick response in an emergency situation. To the Wabash Emergency Room doctors and nurses who were on duty that day and responded with knowledge and compassion, my family and I say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

(SES) are currently involved in a gingerbread-themed unit, which will culminate with the students participating in the annual gingerbread house contest hosted by The Woman’s Clubhouse. According to Jones, the gingerbread unit has been a tradition at SES for approximately 24 years, but her class is the only one that enters the projects in the contest. During the unit, Jones’s students spend one and a half to two hours in class each day, along with time at home, working on their gingerbread projects. Prior to building the gingerbread houses the students must each write and illustrate a book telling the story that leads to the house they’ll make. “Before the kids begin working on

their books I usually read them stories like ‘The Ging erbread Rabbit’ and ‘The Ging erbread Baby’,” Jones explained. “Then they begin their own adventure stories, which must have a beginning, middle, and end. The story should tell how the cookie came to be, present a problem, solve the problem, and end in the house that will be made.” This year the students are using computers to type their stories – with help from aide Mrs. Schmidt. The students receive additional guidance on the projects from art teacher Mrs. Tyson and are also working with music teacher

Mrs. Kingseed on a gingerbread song. Kayla Mays, one of Jones’s students, is working on a story about a gingerbread dog wandering around town after the gate is left open. “My mom and dad helped me start at home and I couldn’t stop writing,” Mays said. “It is really fun because we haven’t done anything like this before.” Another student, Luke Hunsberger, likes thinking of new things that will make his story better throughout the process. “It’s very exciting because lots of people will hear about our stories and maybe they’ll read them too,” Hunsberger added. “My story is about a

girl that is sick and wants gingerbread, so her mom makes a dog and a cat out of gingerbread and they get loose.” Megan Everhart got a lot of ideas for her story from the stories Mrs. Jones read in class. Her story is about a class that wanted to make gingerbread cookies but one jumps out and runs away. Daisy Sparks likes writing about adventure and using her imagination, which she said is a big part of this project. She is working on a story about a gingerbread dolphin that gets lost out in the ocean and comes across a house. The students will be decorating their

gingerbread houses on Dec. 3 as they must be turned in at The Woman’s Clubhouse, 770 W. Hill St., Wabash, from 3 to 6:30 p.m. The contest is Dec. 5, 3 - 6 p.m., at the Clubhouse. At 5 p.m. the students will perform their gingerbread song. The contest is open to individuals, groups, businesses and families. There will be a reception and awards given at the event. Mr. and Mrs. Claus will also be stopping by and there will be cookies for kids to decorate and take. For more information about the contest, contact Ellen Stouffer at 260-563-5339 or ellenstouffer@yahoo.co m.

The White Rocks Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation is helping less fortunate families in the area by offering warm smiles and

hearty meals this holiday season. Through the Turkey Hunters Care program, the White Rocks Chapter is providing 100 turkey roasts to fam-

ilies in the area to help complete the t r a d i t i o n a l Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Volunteers with the White Rocks Chapter will distrib-

ute 100 frozen domestic turkey roasts to Lighthouse Missions Nov. 23, 9 a.m., at Christ United Methodist Church to help ensure families in the area will have a Thanksgiving to remember. “ T h e Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are times for family, but they are also a time when many families are in need,” said NWTF CEA George Thornton. “Turkey Hunters Care is a great way for the NWTF’s committed volunteers to help these families during some of the most celebrated holidays of the year.”

Sharp Creek first-graders continued from front page hand. Check the turkey every moment of time until the oven beeps. Then have a good Thanksgiving! Meredith Haupert: Go out in the woods with a bow and arrow. Look down low behind trees because that’s where the turkeys are. Shoot the turkey. Cut the head, wings and legs off of the turkey. If you just cut the head off, the turkey can still run around. That would gross me out. Take the turkey home. Clean the turkey in a really, really big bowl. Put warm water in the bowl but don’t put soap in it. If case kids are coming to Thanksgiving, cut the turkey into little strips so they don’t have to eat big chunks of meat. Put a little salt on the turkey. Cook the turkey in the oven at 18 degrees for about 15 minutes, just to test it. See how warm the turkey got. If it’s too hot, put the turkey in the fridge for a little bit, so it won’t be too hot for the little kids. Put the turkey on a big plate with mashed potatoes and peas around it. It will taste good! Make s’mores for dessert. A l e x a n d r i a Alwine: Go to WalMart. Get a turkey that’s not alive, because if you get

one that IS alive it will run away! You would have to run all over the store to catch it! Pick out a big turkey, as big as a basketball. That way there will be enough for your family. Take it home and wash it. Put it in the bathtub and use a towel to get all the germs off of it. Put the turkey in the oven and cook it at 20 degrees for five minutes. Get the table ready for the people who are coming to eat. Put on a big plate for the turkey to sit on, also a picture from last y e a r ’ s Thanksgiving and some decorations. Check the turkey two or three times. It will be darkishbrown when it is ready to eat. Take it out of the oven and put it on the big plate. Have your mom or dad cut the turkey up...I’m not allowed to use a knife. I will eat green beans and rolls, but not turkey because I don’t like turkey. My family will like the turkey that I made for them. They are not picky eaters. Mekenya Barrus: Have your grandma go to New Market in North Manchester. Their turkeys taste good. Get the kind of turkey that has white on it. The turkeys are dead. You need a 30-pound turkey because you

have a lot of people to feed. Take the turkey home and take off the wrapper. Put the turkey in the sink and turn the cold water on. Put a lot of water on the turkey to clean it and then dry it off with a washrag. Put seasoning salt on the turkey and put it all over. Bake the turkey in the oven at 20 degrees for 20 minutes. When the beeper goes off, feel the turkey to see if it is done. It should feel really hot and squishy. Take it out of the oven and cool it down. Wait for an hour. Take the turkey back to Grandma’s house because that’s where we have Thanksgiving. Have mashed potatoes, green beans, pumpkin pie and cheesy potatoes with the turkey. Have cheeseburgers for Grandpa too. Heath Tackett: Get a turkey from the woods. First drive a truck to the woods. If there is mud, put the truck in 4-wheel drive and go to the inside of the woods. That’s where the turkeys are. Make a turkey sound so the turkey comes close to you. (One time my friend made such a good turkey sound that the turkey started to chase her!) When the turkey comes, shoot it with your bow and arrow. If

WHS Choir to perform or Winchester Senior Center party

the bow and arrow doesn’t work you’ll have to use a gun. Put the dead turkey in the back of your truck. If you have a dog, chain it up away from your porch because it will knock you down and try to eat the turkey. When you get into the house yank off all the feathers and chop off the head and legs with a knife. Put the turkey on a tray and cook it on top of the stove on those little circle things. (One time our oven almost caught on fire because something leaked inside the oven. My brother had to get the fire “extingwiffer”.) Cook it for one whole day...that’s 24 hours. Put that good spice on it. The turkey is done when it smells and looks good. Take it off the stove and put it in a pot with a tip on the top. Then...put it on the table with those oven mitt things. Be sure to put the mitt on the bottom so it doesn’t leak on the table. Cut the turkey with a knife and eat it! Ashlyn Niccum: First get two turkeys at WalMart. That way you can’t run out of turkey if more people come. The turkeys are on the left when you walk in the front door. I don’t know what shelf they are on. Pick out a turkey that is fresh so it doesn’t rot out. But the turkey. I would pay $8 for it. Take it

home. Clean the turkey by taking a washcloth and wash the turkey with cleaner that sprays. Throw the cloth away because it will be all gross! Put a pan under the turkey. Put one cup of salt all over the turkey. It will make it taste better. Put some oil on the turkey so it doesn’t get burned. Bake the turkey in the oven for two hours at 80 degrees. When it is done, take it out and let it cool. The turkey will look like a big bus, with a hump on the top. It won’t have any wheels or kids or windows. When everybody is there, you need to eat it all. If you have time, and people

bar of soap and a little scrubbie thing. Now it’s time to cook the turkey. Put a little bit of salt on the turkey. Put it in a big pan and put it in the oven. Cook it for two hours at 14 degrees. You can play or shop for clothes and toys while the turkey is cooking. Take the cooking alarm clock with you and go home when it rings. The turkey is done when the two back sides have bones sticking out and there is a hump in the front. Put on a mitten and take the turkey out of the oven. Put the turkey on a big, huge dish and make some more food. I like broccoli, grapes and ice cream! Have everybody sit at a big, huge table. EAT! McKenzie Pelfree: Go buy a turkey at Wal-Mart. They are at the back of the store and they are not alive. If they were, it would be loud with people talking and turkeys saying, “GOBBLE, GOBBLE!” Pick the first one that you see. Take the turkey home to cook it. Take the turkey home to cook it. Take the plastic off the turkey because it will burn if you leave it on. It might set your house on fire! Put seasoning salt and pepper on the turkey...it’s two dabs of each. Put it in a cooking pan and cook it in the oven for two hours at 24 degrees. Play with your sister and the babysitting kids when the turkey cooks. The turkey is done when it is brownish-colored. The “funnest” part is eating the turkey. Sit in the back room or in the kitchen with grandma, grandpa, your sister, mom and dad, and uncle. His girlfriend can come too. Make stuffing and mashed potatoes to go with the turkey. You can have broccoli too. It will all taste good. Give thanks and help clean up the house when dinner

is over. Kyle Wynn: Get a turkey at Wal-Mart. It will be frozen and the feathers will be on it. Get a big one because there are lots of people in the family and grandpa likes turkey. He eats more than three pieces! It will cost $30 or $40. When you get home pull the feathers off the turkey with those things that squeeze together when you pick up steak and stuff. Put the feathers in the trash and clean the turkey with a wet rag. Put the turkey on a plate and don’t put anything on it because it will taste better if it is plain. Put the turkey in the oven for 1 hour at 500 degrees. While the turkey is cooking get the corn ready. I like corn on the cob with salt and butter. Make mashed potatoes and lots of more stuff. One hour later the turkey is ready. It will be brown and good to eat. It will smell like turkey! “Lunch is ready!,” I say. Grandpa says a prayer and it is long. Then we eat Thanksgiving lunch. C r y s t a Kowalczuk: Go to Wal-Mart to get your Thanksgiving turkey. You go inside the store and turn left, I think. Look in the food and pick out a big turkey. It will be alive. Put the turkey in a cage that you brought from home. Put the cage in the back of the truck and take it home. Get someone to hold the turkey and you take the feathers off. Pull hard. Throw the feathers out in the garbage. Wash the turkey in the bathtub with a rag. Take the turkey outside and shoot it with a gun. Put the turkey in a big pot with some barbeque sauce on top. Put some oil and ice cream in there, too. Put a lid on top and cook the turkey in the kitchen in the stove. Cook the turkey for 10 minutes at 14 degrees. That’s a long time. Check on

the turkey so you can see if it’s done. The turkey will be brown when it is done. Get the table ready. Put plates, forks and knives out. That’s it! Put some corn, beans and potatoes on the table, too. Zachariah Nice: Go out into the woods. Look everywhere for a turkey. If you can’t find one, then look somewhere else. Try to look up in a tree. When you find a turkey, shoot it with a gun. Bring the turkey home. Take the blood out of the turkey. Just rip off the feathers and put them in the trash. Put the turkey in the washing machine with two soaps. It will be really clean! Don’t put any clothes in the washer with the turkey. Take the turkey to the kitchen to cook it. Put salt on the turkey. Put some pepper on, too. Put the turkey on a big gray pan and put it in the oven. Cook the turkey for 10 minutes at 10 degrees. The stove will go “beep” when it is done. Get some plates and set out the table. Get a knife and fork. When it is done, get the turkey out of the stove and eat it. Put one dip of chocolate ice cream on each piece of turkey. Jaydan Goshert: Go to the woods and have your “bubby” shoot a turkey. You have to sneak up on the turkey. Turkeys make a noise that you can follow with your ears. They go “ER, ER, ER, ER, ER”. After you shoot the turkey have your brother and papaw help you carry it home. Pull the feathers out of the turkey. Clean up the turkey with a wet rag. Put the soap on it to make it cleaner. It’s good for us that way. Put a little bit of salt on the turkey...too much will make us sick. Put the turkey on a rectangle thing with lines on it. Put macaroni in there, too. Put cheese on

the back of the turkey. Cook the turkey in the stove for 50 minutes at 80 degrees. If you have pig meat, put it in a different stove. If you put the pig on top of the turkey it would make the turkey go flat down. The turkey is done when the stove says “BEEP, BEEP”. The turkey will look like macaroni and chicken. Take the turkey out of the stove and put it on the big triangle table. Put some pepper on it, but not too much because it would be more hot! Autumn Custer: Get your daddy go shoot a turkey back in the woods. We have a woods right behind our house, down a long path. If he can’t find one in the woods then he can find one in the field. Carry the turkey back to the truck and bring it home. Have your mommy pick the feathers off of the turkey with tweezers. Keep the feathers and make an Indian hat with them. Put them on a brown headband with some beads. You can even put som ein your hair! Wash the turkey off in some soapy water. Set the turkey in a window and dry him off in the sun for a little while. Don’t put it outside because the cats will eat it! Get a pan and put the yellow stuff in the pan because that will make the turkey better. Then put the turkey in the pan. Put some brown sprinkle stuff on top of the turkey and put some red barbeque sauce on it, too. My dad loves barbeque sauce on meat! Cook the turkey on that big circle spot that goes round and round on top of the stove. Cook it for maybe an hour. He turkey is done when it looks like a roast beef turkey. Talk about turkey to some people and get ready for the table. Put flower and turkeys on the table. Dress up like Thanksgiving people and you’re ready to eat!

Harshbarger analyzes economic standing for third quarter of 2010 by Richard Harshbarger, Emeritus Professor of Economics at Manchester College The economic environment returned to a recovery mode in the third quarter of 2010. The Economic Index for Wabash County rose to 108.2 (1985 = 100). There was .3 percent increase for the third quarter. This growth provided a 5.7 percent increase in the past 12 months. In the past two months, there has been a 1.4 percent recovery. The Economic Index for Wabash County has grown from the low point in October 2009. In October 2009, the Economic Index had fallen to 102.1 (1985 = 100). The economic growth was led by the industrial demand for electricity. This industrial demand is a proxy for the manufacturing production. The index for industrial demand for electricity rose 9.6 percent in the third quarter. Employment fell .8 percent and bank deposits adjusted for inflation fell .4 percent during the third quarter of 2010. Both of these economic parameters have risen since the end of 2009.

Housing has continued in the doldrums for the past quarter. Industrial demand for electricity is an estimate of the manufacturing output of Wabash County. In the third quarter, the index of electrical demand by industries rose to 145.1 (1985 = 100). The low point of industrial electrical demand was in July 2009, when the index fell to 115.4. Since July 2009, there has been a continuous increase. In the summer of 2010, there was a spurt in demand, which has fallen to the normal growth rate. Being a volatile index, this continuous growth pattern provides a glimmer of recovery. Employment leveled off in the third quarter of 2010. There were 15,008 persons employed in September as opposed to 15,148 persons working in June. This leveling followed an 8.5 percent increase in employment since the first of 2010. Employment reached a low point in September 2009 with 13,902 persons employed. Employment dropped 11.2 percent in 2009. The increase in 2010 shows a major reversal for the Wabash County

economy. Bank deposits adjusted for inflation fell during the third quarter of 2010. With the inflation adjustment, real deposits fell .9 percent during that quarter. This decrease followed an increase of 1.8 percent in inflationadjusted deposits since October 2009. This growth in real deposits offsets the decline in inflation-adjusted deposits in 2009. Given the low point of deposits adjusted for inflation in the third quarter of 2008, there has been a 3.8 percent increase in these deposits in the past two years. Actual deposits in Wabash County banks exceed $625 million. Housing permits continue to drag during 2010. Monthly housing permits have either been one or two each month. July saw four permits and August saw six permits. The usual level of new housing permits ran six to eight permits per month during summer building season before the recession. The recovery in new housing has appeared in Wabash County. With the growth in industrial demand for electricity and employ-

ment, the economic environment may be starting to recover in the third quarter of 2010. Bank deposits for inflation growth slowed in the third quarter following an increase in the first half of 2010. With an expanding national and state economy, Wabash County could start on its economic recovery from the 2008-09 recession. With manufacturing getting back on its feet, Wabash County could look for economic improvement in 2011.

The National Defender was read by Marjorie Stoffer. Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer Minus, US Army. National Chairman of the National Defense Committee asked members to remember two nationally recognized holidays

t h i s month. November 11, of course, we celebrate Veterans Day. Known as Armistice Day due to its origin marking the end of the “Great War,” World War I, its name was changed and honorees expanded to include all veterans after the Korean War. Thanksgiving is another holiday we Americans celebrate in the month o f November. Althoug h most elementary schoolchildren will learn about it in the context of Pilgrims and Native Americans, the calendar placement of the holiday itself was a product of the Civil War and President Abraham Lincoln. Throughou t our nation’s history military and government leaders have celebrated “days of thanksgiving” – General George Washington did so during the A m e r i c a n Revolution after the

December are months of celebration and remembrance. She shared the following thought taken from a short story titled “Let’s Keep C h r i s t m a s ” … ” we will not ‘spend’ Christmas nor ‘ o b s e r v e ’ Christmas. We will KEEP Christmas, keep it as it should be, in all the loveliness of its ancient traditions. May we keep it in our hearts, so that we may be kept in its hope.” Frances Kipp gave devotions asking members to

remember our veterans. Nine members and six guests were present. The next meeting will be held on Jan. 11 at The Craig House Peabody Retirement Community, North Manchester.

14 Wabash Musicale met Nov. 3 www.thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash Musicale met at the home of Marilyn Ford on Nov. 3 (postponed from Oct. 26 due to power outages) with 24 ladies present and 3 guests. The theme for the year is “Down Memory Lane with Music through the Decades” with this month’s theme being the 1920’s or commonly called “The Roaring Twenties.” President Sarah See welcomed the ladies dressed in her “flapper” attire of lowwaisted dress, long

beads, curls and feathers. Chairperson Susie Jones introduced the Fabulous Flapper Four, Norma Trump, Minda Lehman, Marilyn Ford and Kathie Grandstaff, who played a piano quartet called “Joy of Fall” (originally “Joy of Spring”) written by Beatrice Miller. Jo Wade sang “Amazing Grace” words written by John Newton. Mrs. Wade was accompanied by Anne Curless on the harp.

A piano duet by Bettie Miller and Anne Curless called “Twin Peaks” was composed by Pat Holmberg and reflected her love of Jazz. “Bye Bye Blackbird” composed in 1925 by Ray Henderson. This song appeared in at least seven movies and was sung by Jo Wade and accompanied by Anne Curless on harp. The piano quartet of the Fabulous Flapper Four played “Tea for Two” composed by Vincent

Beckett shares Thanksgiving letter from 1958 Dear Editor, My grandfather, John Hupp (“Poppy” to me), served in World War I in the Infantry and in World War II in the Army Air Corp. He later retired as a Lt. Colonel from the Air Force Reserves with close connections to Bunker Hill (Grissom) Air Force Base. In his work life, he was a teacher and a rural mail carrier in Henry County and later served as postmaster in New Castle for many years. Education was everything to him. He was one of the first of his family to graduate from Indiana

Normal College. On Nov. 24, 1958, he wrote the following letter to the editor of the Courier Times in New Castle. In these troubling times I hope that its message still rings true as I share it with you on this Thanksgiving: “The central fact in the universe is our Great Creator made it possible for us to be born in this great nation we call America—the only nation in the world that has placed upon its coins ‘In God We Trust.’ It is because of this trust that this nation has become the most powerful in all history.

As individuals in America we are uniquely blessed. Therefore, the celebration of our Thanksgiving Day should be one of great gratitude and humility of spirit. This humblest born, with uplifted head can exclaim: ‘This is my home. This is America. This is the land of blessings that keep running over.’ How proud we should be to have the opportunity to think as we please, to worship where we will without interference or dictation, and to choose our own way of life as best suits our inherited abilities. How unlimited

are our opportunities. Not only should all these thoughts come to us on this Thanksgiving, but it should be something that ought to inspire us every day throughout the entire year. Let us sing those words from the Doxology: ‘Praise God from whom all blessings flow’ and keep them in mind as we observe our Thanksgiving Day in 1958.” Susan Beckett Wabash

Photographers offer photos for less fortunate families In 2009, Help-Portrait began as an idea that transformed into a movement in just three months. The idea behind Help-Portrait is simple: 1. Find someone in need. 2. Take their portrait. 3. Print their portrait. 4. Deliver their portrait. Help-Portrait is a collection of photographers around the world using their time, equipment, and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate. What does that look like? It looks like photographers taking pictures and then giving those pictures back to the families. A group of local photographers has joined together to bring Help-Portrait to the Wabash community. Wabash Help-Portrait will be held at Curves, 1339 N. Cass St., on Dec. 4 from noon to 4 p.m. These portraits can be of individuals, couples or families. Interested participants should arrive dressed for their portrait. Local volunteers will provide makeup and hair stylists if desired. A barber has also volunteered to offer haircuts for men. More information can be found on the group’s Facebook page Wabash Help Portrait.

We love you, Daddy, Aunt Carolyn, Uncle Jim, Aaron, Aunt Cathy, Uncle Keith, Jessie & Brandon

DESCENDANTS OF ROY AND BESSIE (DITTON) HALL gathered for their annual reunion held each year on the day before Labor Day. There was a comment made that more than 10 veterans attended the reunion and this made them all proud. The group came from Wabash, Bluffton, Silver Lake, Peru, Banquo, Decatur, Huntington, Macy and Akron, Ohio. On driving to the event the song “Go Rest High on the Mountain” came over the radio. This song was played and sung at Ernie Hall’s funeral by his granddaughter, Lisa (Hall) Nelson, so we knew right then and there our ancestors were gathering together in spirit. Roy Hall is the son of George and Amanda (Shepherd) Hall, George Hall is the son of Jonathan and Mary (Hackett) Hall and Jonathan Hall is the son of Samuel and Abagail (Downs) Hall. Samuel Hall collected veteran’s pay at $4 per month up till his death and his wife was able to collect spouse’s pay. We find her living with another son, Samuel Hall, and his family right after her husband, Samuel, passed away. Family history stands tall in the Hall family, many historical pictures were hung for all to enjoy and others brought more. (photo provided)

Victory Bookstore to raise funds for “Not For Sale Campaign” to free child slaves Victory Bookstore is offering Freedom Scarves this fall and winter at its 112 W. Main St. location in North Manchester. Each Freedom Scarf comes with a story tag about a child who has been rescued from either sex or labor trafficking or the story of an abolitionist fighting for f r e e d o m . Approximately 2 million children worldwide are enslaved in the sex industry alone, with millions more being forced to work in horrible and exploitative condi-

tions in the labor i n d u s t r y . Unfortunately, there are an inadequate number of safe homes and prevention programs in place to care for these children after they are rescued, and without help, many will end up back in bondage. You can make a difference by purchasing a Freedom Scarf. All of the proceeds from the scarves will be sent to Not for Sale C a m p a i g n ’ s International partners. These partners

are rescuing children being sold at cattle markets on the Kenyan border and running a children’s village in India that provides clinics, health services, food and vocational skills for vulnerable children. The partners are providing social services and support to Peruvian street children and supplying vocational training to the Garifuna people of Honduras.

try fighting slavery, you can be an ocean away and still make a difference,” says Sarah Joy Morbitzer, Not for Sale’s Indiana state director. “When you purchase a Freedom Scarf you are directly partnering with the men and women who are the frontlines battling injustice. Not For Sale’s International Projects have the systems and people in place to free and care for these child slaves, but finances are not always accessible. When you buy a scarf, you are rescuing, caring and supporting these children as well as the work of their rescuers. Projects like Freedom Scarves bridge the gap between the work of abolitionists and our resources, making us all partners in ending modern day slavery.” All of the scarves are handmade by local knitters, who are asking nothing in return for their work. “Their hearts for these small victims of human trafficking are truly inspiring,” says Morbitzer. Freedom Scarves can be purchased at Victory Bookstore during opening hours: Tuesday – Friday 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, call the bookstore at 260-9828317.

Lady Apaches dominant on both ends in 70-27 victory

KALEIGH HENSLEY converts a lay-up for two of her 24 points in leading Wabash to a 43-point win over Mississinewa at home on Nov. 20. Hensley’s stat line also included 11 steals, eight assists, and seven rebounds. (photo by Shaun Tilghman) by Shaun Tilghman Wabash girls’ basketball coach Scott Bumgardner understands that his team is considerably less experienced than in the last few years, but the young team played with a lot of promise as they cruised to a 70-27 home win over Mississinewa on Nov. 20. This was the third game of the season for the Lady Apaches, with their last contest being a full week prior.

“It was nice because we had a week to prepare,” B u m g a r d n e r explained, “so we had a week to work on execution and to work on offense – we didn’t spend a lot of time on our defensive because it’s been pretty consistent. Obviously you feel better when the ball goes in the hoop but I felt like we got off to a great start and played pretty well in the first quarter.” Bumgardner’s opinion of playing “pretty well” could be consid-

ered modest as his Lady Apaches led the Lady Indians 30-3 after the first stanza. Wabash senior Kaleigh Hensley had already scored in double digits by the end of the quarter, with 13, and junior Kelsey Cromer wasn’t far behind with nine. Mississinewa made things a little more respectable in the second by scoring nine points to Wabash’s 19. Senior Gabi Nearing led the Apaches with eight points in the quarter, increasing

her first half total to 12. Wabash took a 48-12 lead into the break, and Bumgardner knew it would be important to keep his team focused on the task at hand for the remainder of the game. “At halftime we just talked about those things we need to improve upon so that when it is close we perform better,” he said. “It’s awfully easy to get sloppy and lose focus but I thought for the most

part our kids did a good job with that.” The Apaches held their opponents to single-digit scoring in the third quarter as well – with help from three steals by Hensley – and outscored the Indians 14-7. Around the midway point in the final stanza the Wabash lead stood at 47 points, and Bumgardner had pulled all of his starters. The big lead allowed some younger players to get quality minutes, which can only help the Apaches down the road. “It’s very important because one of our weaknesses is probably depth and a lot of those kids don’t get in a lot,” Bumgardner stated, “so to get them in for 5-6 minutes at a time will help us build depth throughout the season.” “I thought [Hensley, Cromer, and Nearing] stepped up and they’ll allow our young kids and our role players to grow and get better every night without feeling so much pressure,” he added. “It translates well because then we can be patient with the freshmen – Kyliegh Hampton and Lyndsie Thomas have come out and been great for us so far but realistically they’re not going to be great for us every night.” Hensley led all scorers with 24 points while also recording 11 steals, eight assists, and seven rebounds.

Wallen’s buck knocks Sorrell from Big Buck lead

Jim Wallen 26 pts. 200 1/2”

Tanner Chamberlain 10 pt. 156 1/8”

Gene Tomlinson 8 pts. 112 1/8”

Jim Wallen’s 26 pt., 200 ½” buck is biggest in Big Buck Contest history by Brent Swan For much of the 2010 Big Buck Contest, Ryan Sorrell has had the lead, but on Nov. 22, Jim Wallen brought in a 26 pt. buck, which not only knocked Sorrell from the season lead, but also outscored the 2009 winner, Canaan Haywood, by 1/4”. The buck, a 13 x 13, claimed most of his total gross inches via a plethora of kickers located between the base of the antlers and the G-1s. However, most of the kickers were well above the one-inch minimum length needed for scoring. Wallen’s buck shuffled Sorrell’s 191 3/8” to second in the Big Buck Leaderboard and youth entry Jacob Rodmaker’s 161 1/2” to third. Laura Enix remains the women’s division leader for the second consecutive week with her 14 pt., 143 7/8” non-typical trophy. This year’s contest will extend throughout the duration of muzzleloader season before coming to a close Dec. 20. All potential entries must be turned into The Paper before 9 a.m. unless other arrangements are made by contacting Brent Swan at 260-563-8326.

Tracy Dempsey 10 pts. 128 1/8”

Molly Tomlinson 10 pts. 136 7/8”

Laura Enix 14 pts. 143 7/8”

Robert Music 10 pts. 150 1/4”

Wabash County 4-H Fairgrounds finally outfitted with horse stalls

by Danielle Smith On Nov. 19, after six years of fundraising efforts on the part of the Horse and Pony Club, 105 temporary used horse stalls were delivered to the Wabash County 4-H Fairgrounds. “We’ve not had horse stalls here for several years,” said Amanda Hadley, Horse and Pony Club leader. “Longer than I’ve been a leader, which is five years.” The Horse and Pony Club and Wabash County Fair Association Board each paid half of the fees for the 105 stalls, the racks to hold the stalls and some additional pieces. Each organization will own half of the stalls. “Currently they will be in the multipurpose building for storage, but we are pushing to have a new barn built, hopefully, with a lot of local support,” Hadley explained.

Funding for the stalls came from livestock auction proceeds and a sponsorship program. “The club has a sponsorship challenge for the members. They go out and get donations from sponsors, instead of doing fundraisers we just go and ask for support,” Hadley explained. She went on to tell other projects and items these proceeds have purchased, including clinicians, upgrades for the building, new jumps, a round pen and more. She also explained that the parent committee is a driving force behind the fundraising, which helped to enable them to purchase the stalls. “This is something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time and we just want to thank the supporters that have donated to the cause,” Hadley said.

Wabash High School Symphonic Voices to perform at Honeywell House The Wabash High School Symphonic Voices will present a program at Honeywell House, 720 N. Wabash St., on Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. This 15-member girls’ choir is the top auditioned choir at the school. They perform for many organizations in the community such as the Senior Center and service clubs. The Symphonic Voices will be one of the featured choirs for “Sounds of the Season” on WPTA between Thanksgiving and Christmas. At Honeywell House, Susan Keefer will direct the choir in a variety of music, including holiday favorites “The Christmas Song”, “Jing-a-ling” and “No Eye Had Seen”. Gail Vaughn is the accompanist. The Honeywell House will be decorated for the holidays, and seasonal refreshments will be served following the concert. This program is free and open to the public, but reservations are requested due to limited seating. Please call 260-563-2326, Ext. 2.

NEW LISTING

KILLS FOR A CURE: The Wabash High School girls’ volleyball team holds a check representing the $3,600 they raised to provide free mammograms at Wabash County Hospital. With the team is Dr. Jeff Miller and Cindy Dyson, WCH Radiology Leader, who recently volunteered at a Free Mammogram Screening Day, made possible by the team’s fundraising efforts. Also donating their time that day were oncology nurses Amy Poole, RN, OCN, and Robin King, RN, OCN. (photo provided) The Wabash High School girls’ volleyball team’s recent Kills For A Cure event raised $3,600 to provide free mammograms at Wabash County Hospital. This is the second year the team has raised funds for Wabash County residents that do not have insurance or the means to pay for a mammogram. Along with gifts from individuals and organizations, the team received pledge donations for the number of kills they achieved (48) at an October home game. Dr. Jeff Miller, who performed breast exams at the all-day, free screening event, stated, “The support these young girls have given for such an important cause is phenomenal. It’s so much more than fundraising, and the girls realize that. Of the 17 screening mammograms performed during the free screening day, three women needed additional testing and biopsies. Not only do the team’s efforts promote the importance of mammograms, but they also help save lives from breast cancer.” Cindy Dyson, WCH Radiology Leader, volunteered at the Free Mammogram Screening Day along with Dr. Miller. Also donating their time that day were oncology nurses Amy

Poole, RN, OCN, and Robin King, RN, OCN. The response to the free mammogram day was overw h e l m i n g .

Numerous women were placed on a waiting list and thanks to the team’s additional fundraising, accomplished under the leadership

of coach Katie Cromer, those already approved women can also receive a free mammogram.

endar year, Scheeringa said that historical observations suggest January and February will be warm and wet. Moist conditions would continue in March and April and a long cool spell would begin. On average Indiana receives 41.3 inches of precipitation annually. During La Nina the average increases slightly to 41.6 inches, Scheeringa said. But the effects of La Nina are better seen per month. January, February, March, June and December tend to receive more precipitation, while April, May, July, August, September and November are abnormally dry. October tends to be normal, he said. If La Nina does bring a lot of precipitation in the spring, it could potentially affect crop pests, Krupke said. That is because some pests come to the surface of the soil at the end of winter and beginning of spring and could drown. Pests that usually cannot overwinter in harsh and severely cold conditions are corn earworm and armyworm, Krupke said. They must be transported north on storm fronts in the springtime of each year. In a relatively mild winter like the one expected for this year, however, they are expected to survive further north, meaning that they have less distance to fly to infest crops in the springtime, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is not much growers can do now,â&#x20AC;? Krupke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thing to do is wait until spring when pheromone tap catches are reported, which will give an indication of early season pressure on crops.â&#x20AC;?

American Red Cross offers fire safety tips as Thanksgiving nears W i t h Thanksgiving just around the corner, the American Red Cross of North Central Indiana encourages families to prevent kitchen fires by taking some basic safety measures. In the U.S., Thanksgiving is the peak day for cooking fires, 90 percent of which are caused by unattended cooking. “We all think of Thanksgiving as a time for family, good food and football, but it’s also prime time for cooking fires,” said Mitch Figert, executive director at the North Central Indiana Chapter. “Taking a few simple precautions can help everyone have a safe and happy holiday.” To keep Thanksgiving firefree, the public should follow these ten tips: 1. Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen even for a short period of time, turn off the stove.

2. If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you’re cooking. 3. Be alert. You won’t be alert if you are sleepy, have taken medicine or drugs, or consumed alcohol that makes you drowsy. 4. Keep anything that can catch fire— potholders, wooden utensils, food wrappers, towels or curtains—away from your stovetop. 5. Make sure your sleeves are out of the way when cooking. Wear tighter fitting clothing with shorter sleeves. 6. Have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried. 7. Never hold a child while cooking, drinking or carrying hot foods or liquids. 8. Turn the handles of pots and pans on the stove inward to avoid accidents. 9. Keep pets off

cooking surfaces and nearby countertops to prevent them from knocking things onto the burner. 10. Test your smoke alarms by pushing the test button. Replace batteries at least once a year. In addition to preventing cooking fires, families can stay safe all year by following these additional tips: Keep items that can catch on fire at least three feet away from anything that gets hot, such as space heaters. Never smoke in bed. Talk to children regularly about the dangers of fire, matches and lighters and keep them out of reach. Turn portable heaters off when you leave the room or go to sleep. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. Check monthly that smoke alarms are working proper-

ly by pushing the test button. At least once a year, replace the batteries in your smoke alarms; every 10 years, replace the entire smoke alarm. Make sure all household members know two ways to escape from every room of your home. Decide where you will meet outside in case of fire. Practice escaping from your home at least twice a year and at different times of the day. Practice waking up to smoke alarms, low crawling and meeting outside. Make sure everyone knows how to call 91-1. Teach household members to STOP, DROP and ROLL if their clothes should catch on fire For more information about fire safety and prevention, contact the American Red Cross of North Central Indiana by visiting www.redcrossofnci.org.
