Record field rides in 10th Dam to Dam By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Rain couldn’t stop a record field of bike enthusiasts from traveling Wabash County roads during the 10th annual Dam to Dam Century Ride on Sunday. Riders, dressed in colorful outfits and on a variety of two-, three- and four-wheel bicycles, began leaving the Wabash County YMCA shortly before 8 a.m. on one of six marked routes throughout the county. They began returning before noon, depending on the route which were 15, 32, 50, 62, 80 and 100 miles long. There were 747 registered rid-
ers in this year’s field. Event organizer Christine Flohr was pleased with the event and the record field. “Even though we’ve got some rain, because we don’t have a lot of wind and it’s not a torrential downpour, rain isn’t necessarily bad,” she said. “It’s not the most comfortable to ride in, but because we don’t have the wind, that makes it bearable.” This is the second straight year that weather has hampered the ride. Last year rain, strong wind gusts and below normal temperatures forced many riders to cut short their efforts. Aside from the rain, the ride (continued on page 6)
Early in the morning on Friday, Sept. 6, volunteers from the Wabash River Defenders were busy preparing for two buses full of over 100 Wabash Middle School seventh graders to arrive for an educational river float beginning at the Lagro Bridge. Mike Beauchamp, president of the Wabash River Defenders was there when the idea of the Defenders was born. “In the little Lagro café, 10 years ago this spring,” Beauchamp told The Paper of Wabash County about when it all started. “We didn’t know each other, but there were four or five of us that were real river rats, and we got to talking over coffee and we said ‘This river is the greatest thing and we need to give some help to this river and clean it up. We thought, with the five of us, we might get our friends involved and get 25 people and start to work on this river. By July 2019, we had 400 people in this river from Huntington County to Miami County.” The River Defenders continue to grow and do good for the (continued on page 6)

State launches anti-vaping campaign By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Indiana has launched a $2.1 million campaign to help educate you people about the dangers of vaping and to encourage them to stop. Gov. Eric Holcomb and State Health Commissioner Dr. Kris Box unveiled the campaign on Thursday, Aug. 29. The efforts have been named “What’s Beyond the Haze” and involves social media, text and school-based measures to spread the word. “Part of it is just the awareness that what we are peddling and what we are sharing and getting people addicted to is so harmful so this is a full court press and it starts today,” Holcomb said in announcing the campaign. “We know we have our work cut out for us as vaping continues to grow. This will be a real blitz, making sure we’re reaching out to every corner of the state.” The campaign comes at a time when some 200 people nationwide have been hit by a vaping-related illness. In Indiana, 24 people between 16 and 29 years have taken ill, including four under 18. On Friday, the Indiana State Department of Health officials announced they have confirmed the first death of an Indiana resident due to severe lung injury linked to a history of e-cigarette use. The state’s new plan encourages teens to join Truth Initiative’s “This is quitting” text to quit program. State officials also plan to develop a toolkit of educational materials on vaping for students, parents and educators. A 2018 State Health
Online help The website established by the Indiana State Health Department for the various resources is in.gov/isdh/tpc/27 6.htm. Department survey showed nearly 20 percent of all high school students currently vape, nearly 35,000 more than in 2016. “Vaping has put nearly 35,000 young people in harm’s way,” Box said. “Our job is to keep our kids out of harm’s way.” Dan Gray, Wabash County Tobacco Free coordinator, believes that the best way to protect youth is to invest in their health. “We have learned that tobacco use can contribute to all kinds of cancer and other health deficiencies that can develop through years of tobacco use,” he said. “We are now learning that vaping may have a more immediate effect on the body with continued use.” Alluding to the 24 Hoosiers
Before
who have taken sick due to vaping, Gray said it is crucial to do everything possible to not only education Wabash County residents on the dangers of vaping and its impact on the community, but have an aggressive prevention program in the schools. “With the assistance from Parkview Wabash Hospital, the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition has collaborated with all three school districts to provide a youth tobacco prevention program,” he said. “The Coalition presents to every second and fifth grade information of the dangers of all forms of tobacco, including the e-cigarette and JUUL, and the addictive power nicotine has on the young developing brain. The purpose is to make them aware and discourage them from every starting. Their brain is more accessible to the effects of the nicotine than an adult and become addicted quicker.” The Coalition also has been invited to present to middle and high school health classes in all three school districts. “Because of the critical effects vaping has on the body, it is crucial we keep our children and young people aware,” he said. “It is important they exercise their right to say ‘no’ when they are influenced by peer pressure.” Gray said he appreciates what the State Health Department and the governor are doing to take action against the e-cigarette and JUUL by offering resources help educators, students and parents be more aware. “The Coalition will do everything it can to make sure these resources are used,” he said.

“The volunteers are the ones interacting with these guests all day long. They are the frontline of the experience.” — Christine Flohr, Dam to Dam organizer ticipants. That means that 122 people registered on site either Saturday or Sunday. “I was really hoping for 800,” Flohr said. “I do believe the forecast does impact those who wait to the very last day. That’s what they’re waiting on. They’re waiting until the day of the event to see what the weather
will be. “Do I want to ride 100 miles in rain, or do I want to want to ride 100 miles in sunshine? There are some who want to do 100 miles in sunshine.” However, several registered Sunday in spite of the forecast, she noted. One rider drove in
from Chicago, where he just relocated from Switzerland. “He moved there from Switzerland last week and heard about this ride from a friend,” Flohr said. “He’s riding today. It just depends on the type of rider you are. We’re very pleased with that number.”

With all of the success of this team, the River Defenders continue to widen the scope of their services. “This is kind of my baby,” said Jen Rankin, vice president of the Wabash River Defenders. “We decided we wanted to do more than just cleanup, so we decided to focus on water quality. With
that, we applied and received a 319 grant from IDEM (Indiana Department of Environmental Management). Since we got that grant, we have been doing water testing and data entry, and analysis, getting to the point where our next phase will be implementation of programs,” she said. “In that grant, though, some of the criteria include an education program.” Rankin told The Paper that the River Defenders had noticed that some other counties had been taking students out onto their rivers for educational floats. These counties do multiple schools and the entire program usually lasts a week. Since this is a firsttime endeavor for the Wabash River Defenders, they decided to start small, but plan on adding a school/float trip each year until they have included all schools. “We knew we wanted to focus on these kids. They’re like sponges, and they are so fun to work with,” Rankin said. After students arrived and had a warm welcome from Beauchamp, they (continued on page 7

They also heard a presentation from Jason Kissell of Acres Land Trust about the history of the Wabash River. There to observe and see the students off was Wabash City S c h o o l s Superintendent Jason Callahan. “We’re very excited for this great opportunity for our kids. Wabash City Schools has a vision of building a legacy of opportunity for all. And when Mike Beauchamp brought this idea to us, we were like, ‘Absolutely,’ said Callahan. “This is a great opportunity for our kids to get out. The river is a wonderful natural resource, it’s why we’re all here in the first place, and we often overlook it. Mike and the River Defenders have done a
great job of cleaning up the river and bringing attention to the ecology of the river.” Callahan also expressed his concern for safety but expressed that he felt like with all of the volunteers, the USACE park rangers teaching safety, and the quality of the rafts, that everything would go smoothly and the experience would be enjoyable for all of the students participating. The students floated a little under three miles and stopped at multiple sites along the way to learn about habitat and wildlife from DNR, and a lesson on how water is collected for testing and data, learning about visual water quality indicators where the students were able to dip into the water and extract invertebrates to study. The trip was ended with lunch on Mike Beauchamp’s property.

MU program looks at pacifist poet From the MU News Bureau
The world remembers William Edgar Stafford as a prolific
Western poet, evoking desert, prairie, mountains and sky. He was also a staunch opponent of war. Stafford was called
up for active military service in 1942 and registered with the draft board as a conscientious objector. He was interned dur-
ing World War II in Civilian Public Service camps run by the Church of the Brethren, a historic peace church.
During that time of labor for his nation, Stafford kept a journal that is the basis of a documentary, “Every War Has Two Losers,” which will be shown at M a n c h e s t e r University at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17, in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus. It is free and open to the public. After the war, Stafford’s poetry won major awards, and he taught English at what was then Manchester College for one year in the 1950s before settling in Portland, Ore. In the 30-minute documentary by Haydn Reiss, themes of peace and reconciliation are explored in Stafford’s poems and daily writings. Jeff Gundy, professor of English at Bluffton University, who knew Stafford, will speak about the relationship between Stafford’s poetry and
William Edgar Stafford at work in his office. Photo provided his pacifist beliefs and experiences. His talk, “Five Memories and Four Refusals: Thinking Again about William Stafford,” will precede the film showing, and a time for questions and discussion will follow. Gundy will also give a poetry reading at 7 p.m. that evening in Wine Recital Hall. It is also free and open to the public. Manchester alumnus Travis Poling ’06 will speak about Stafford’s connection
to Manchester University and the Church of the Brethren. Stafford believed it was a failure of imagination to see only two options: to fight or to run away. He used questions and direct assessments of our political habits to suggest a way other than war. The Sept. 17 program is part of the Values, Ideas and the Arts series at Manchester.

Squires squeak by Apaches By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com
In a dramatic backand-forth battle between county and conference rivals, the Manchester Squires held on for a 21-14 win over the Wabash Apaches Friday, Sept. 6. The Squires took the lead in the first quarter when Braxton Ream scored on an eight-yard run with 3:35 left and Klayton Hendrix made it 7-0 with the extra point. The Apaches answered back with a 22-yard pass connection for a touchdown from Payton Sodervick to Bryant Boggs with 3:20 left in the second quarter. Grant Caradante’s extra point tied the game at 7-7. The Squires came right back with a drive late in the half and took a 14-7 lead when Devin Marcum found Kreeden Krull in the end zone for a nine-yard ouchdown with 42 seconds remaining. After a scoreless third quarter, Wabash tied the game again on a one-yard touchdown run from Kallen Kelsheimer, with 9:37 remaining in the game. The Squires converted two fourthdowns on their next

With one league championship already in its back pocket, the Wabash United Futbol Club is getting ready to, literally, kick off its second season. Competing in the North East Select Soccer League (NESSL) of the Indiana Soccer League, the Wabash United 13-and-under (13U) squad captured the Spring title with eight wins and two ties. That 13U group will compete in the 14-andunder (14U) age group this Fall, with play scheduled to begin Sept. 9, according to Solomon Vanderpool, president of the WUFC. The club will also field a team in the 12-and-under (12U) age group and one in the 10-andunder (10U) age group. In its first season, the local club fielded two 13U teams and one 11U squad. The 13U Maroon squad took second place and the White team finished fourth. The 11U did not fare as well, finishing in the bottom half of the standings. Over the winter in The Plex League, held at an indoor arena in Fort Wayne, the 13U combined squad also took second place. Other clubs competing in the NESSL include (with number of teams in parenthesis) are Angola, Columbia City, Fort Wayne United, Huntertown (2), Huntington United (2), Jay County (2) and The Plex (3). The three teams open play Saturday, Sept. 7 in Fort Wayne and then travel to Warsaw to play Columbia City Sunday, Sept. 8. Wabash United’s home openers will be Sept. 14 against Huntertown. Games begin at 1 p.m. Wabash United plays its home games at the Morrett Sports Complex’s “Field of Dreams.” Emily GueninHodson will be assisting Vanderpool with the 14U team this season, Shellie Stout and Mark France will
guide the 12U squad and Vanderpool and Seth Denney will coach the 10U. Stout, who also serves as secretary/treasurer of the WUFC board, was one of the coaches on the 11U squad this past season. Other board members of the not-forprofit organization, are Keisha Wright, Tim Drake and Scott Greiner. “Our goal is to play as hard as we practice,” Vanderpool said. “This season’s 14U squad has been together for four or five seasons now going back to YMCA soccer and the Wasonoma (WabashS o u t h w o o d Northfield-North Manchester) team. “We’ll have several 13-year-olds on the squad, but I think we’ll size up pretty well with the other teams. We’ve proven we can compete with the best (during the first year in the league). “We play respectable soccer,” he continued, “and the team has been complimented by (opposing) coaches and referees for their sportsmanship. That and their outstanding attitude (toward the game) is what stands out about us.” Vanderpool noted that the players’ devotion to the club and the game is witnessed by how many have participated in soccer camps around the area, notably Indiana Wesleyan University, FC Barcelona (Indianapolis) and the Demarcus Beasley camps. Beasley, from Fort Wayne, was a standout on the U.S. Men’s World Cup team for several years. Since forming, it has obtained IRS taxexempt status. Its budget is funded by private and corporate donations and grants. It is currently seeking funds to replace the two goals on its field at the Morrett complex. Anyone interested in making a taxfree donation can contact Vanderpool at 765-667-9348 or at soccerteam7676@gmail.c om

Indiana Senate GOP offers paid internships INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Senate Republican Caucus is offering paid springsemester internships in its communications, information technology, legal, legislative and policy offices during the 2020 session of the Indiana G e n e r a l Assembly, said State Sen. Andy Zay (RHuntington). Qualified candidates must be at least a college sophomore. Recent college graduates as well as graduate school and law school students are also encouraged to apply. Positions are open to Indiana resi-
dents as well as nonresidents of any major who attend a college or university located in Indiana. Interns earn a $750 biweekly stipend and benefit from scholarship and academic credit opportunities, professional development, community involvement and networking. Senate internships are full-time positions at the Statehouse in d o w n t o w n Indianapolis that begin with a mandatory orientation in late December and conclude at the end of the legislative session in March 2020.
“Interns who complete a Senate internship walk away with real-world experience they can’t receive anywhere else,” Zay said. “Those who are interested in state government and want to learn more about the legislative process should consider applying for this opportunity, as it offers skills and tools that can be used in future endeavors.” For more information or to access an a p p l i c a t i o n , visit www.IndianaSen ateRepublicans.com/I ntern.

MU names Staff Member of the Year From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — Scott Eberly is the guy behind the scenes at M a n c h e s t e r University who sets up hundreds of chairs for Commencement and steps out the spacing for each row. This summer, he and his crew of students worked tirelessly to move staff and faculty members into nearly 100 different offices. On Aug. 29, the supervisor of setups got a standing ovation as he came forward to accept the Christopher W. Garber Staff Member of the Year Award. The award recognizes a staff member who exemplifies the
Manchester mission, a problem-solver with a positive attitude who encourages other staff members along the way. Nominated by their colleagues, the recipients are respected by co-workers and loyal to the University. “Scott is a behindthe-scenes kind of guy who prefers to stay that way. But he has the respect of everyone in the room. He takes pride in his work and believes that if you’re going to do a job, you do it well,” said President Dave McFadden, quoting one of the nominations. “He pays attention to the details. And, on his own, Scott identifies the gaps and missing pieces that are needed to complete the event
or task.” Eberly’s job description is to provide event setup needs, supervise deliveries, manage the storage facilities and supervise students who help him. What it doesn’t describe, McFadden said, are the complexities of those tasks – such as stepping off 18 inches of space between rows and rows of chairs. He sets up for dinners for Commencement, Homecoming, Alumni Days, new student orientations, Walk Into My Future, summer camps and dozens of other events throughout the year. “Through it all, Scott remains gracious, professional and a stellar role model for the students
who work with him,” McFadden said. The late Chris Garber, for whom the award is named, hired Eberly in 2011. This is the fourth year for the award. Senior Director of Auxiliary Services Alexis Young, the award’s first recipient, said the committee received 29 nominations for 19 staff members. “There are so many people at MU whose colleagues deem them worthy of this award. Each year the task of a selecting a winner gets more and more challenging,” she said. Eberly’s family lives just outside North Manchester and breeds English golden retrievers.

If anyone is interested in using the Yoke Parish Fellowship Hall for parties, showers or family gatherings please let Rena Warnock know. She has a calendar and is able to track all dates that are in use and that are available. Breakfast Bunch: My wife, Bonita, and I met with the breakfast bunch on Sept. 4.
Those attending were Marca Snook, Eileen Weck, Doris Mattern, Alma DeVore, Max and Ruth Reed, Peggy Dilling, Helen Dawes, John Eads, Larry and Nancy Meyer. I wanted to see what goes on other than just having a meal. I also wanted to get some input of what they would like to read about in the Urbana News. This Bunch was quite the crew. Some of them I knew and some I had not ever met. They all knew me from my articles that I write for The Paper and Bonita knew them all. They talked about everything and anything else you can think of in the very short time that we were there. It was very interesting. They didn’t chew on me too hard and I received several at-aboys for doing a good job on the articles.
A construction fence stands in front of the former St. Peter’s Church in Urbana. The building will soon be coming down.
If you are willing to have some fun and to enjoy a meal while taking part in the conversations, you can join the Breakfast Bunch every Wednesday at Bob Evans Restaurant at 7:30 a.m. This invitation is open to everyone who would like to become enlightened by this group’s intellectual output. It is way cooler than you think. The Outreach Committee would like to thank the people that donated time
and blood on August 14th and the crew from the American Red Cross. With the blood that was collected, the committee wanted to let you know that each unit would save up to three people. The total of units collected that day saved 105 people. Keep this date. The next blood drive will be held on Oct. 30. Urbana Lions Club: The first meeting of this year will be at Lion Luke Hunt’s home on Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. This is a
carry in meal/meeting. Smoked BBQ Pork will be provided. Lion President Denny Craft and Lion 2nd Vice President Luke Hunt will be attending the United Fund Annual Golf Outing.

Wildcat Pride Winners for Aug. 29: Rudy Weaver was caught by Mrs. Jones for directions during journal time.

Campaign nets 15 citations by NMPD NORTH MANCHESTER — Over a 25-day period, North Manchester Police Department issued 15 traffic citations and filed 21 misdemeanor, and two felony charges as part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over mobilization. About 230 Indiana lawenforcement agencies joined thousands nationwide to increase roving
patrols, saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over is supported with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration funds distributed by the Indiana Criminal Justice institute. In every state, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. In Indiana, drivers under 21
with a BAC of .02 or higher are subject to fines and a license suspension for up to 1 year. Getting arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) means going to jail and losing your driver’s license. The average cost? About $10,000, including car towing and repairs, attorney fees, fines, court costs, lost time at work and other hefty expenses.

Honor America on Patriot Day
September 11, 2001, was a tragic day in American history. On that day, nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost due to the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. as well as in rural Pennsylvania, where another plane en route for more destruction crashlanded. The indelible images of the World Trade Center collapsing in flames with crowds running for safety, as well as the ensuing visions of heroes and citizens working together, have created a lasting impression. While buildings have been repaired and new sites erected in the wake of the attacks, there are many ways to continue to honor the fallen. Patriot Day, which takes place each year on September 11 to honor those who lost their lives in the 9-11 attacks, is one such example. The follow-
ing are a handful of ways that people can honor 9-11 victims and their families. • Celebrate local heroes by visiting or making donations of food or supplies to local firehouses and police stations. • Commemorate the events of 9-11 by observing moments of silence at key times throughout the day: 8:46 a.m, 9:03 a.m., 9:37 a.m., 9:59 a.m., 10:03 a.m., and 10:28 a.m. • Engage in service projects that can help your community, including its underserved individuals, like veterans. National Day of Service, which is the same day as Patriot Day, asks people to do at least one good deed in honor of those who died on 9-11. • Make a trip to New York City and visit the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. • If you display a flag at your home or business, be sure to place it at half staff
from sunrise to sunset to mourn the lives lost. • Share stories of the heroism and bravery of first responders with young children who may not have been alive in 2001. • Unite the country by promoting acceptance of and kindness to all people, regardless of religious or political beliefs. • Attend a special service commemorating 9-11 at houses of worship. • Visit memorials honoring the fallen in various communities in and around your home. This Patriot Day, there are many ways individuals can honor those who lost their lives on 9-11. Editor’s Note: The Patriot Day celebrated on September 11 is a separate holiday from Patriot’s Day, which is observed on the third Monday in April in Massachusetts. TF199255
Patriot Day takes place each year on September 11 to honor those who lost their lives in the 9-11 attacks.
Interesting facts about fall Weather is often the first indicator that the seasons are changing. For many people across the globe, the hot days of summer will soon be giving way to the more crisp days of fall. For those who live in regions where summer only subtly gives way to fall or is seemingly gone before the end of August, the 2019 autumnal equinox occurs on September 23. That marks the official beginning of fall, also known as autumn. In fact, that the season the follows summer seemingly goes by two different names is
just one of many interesting facts about fall. • A season by any other name … Fall is the term most often used to reference the season succeeding summer in the United States. But the season is referred to as “autumn” in other parts of the world, including Great Britain. Fall was once even known as “harvest” because of the harvest moon, which appears close to the autumnal equinox. • The colors of fall foliage are actually present year-round. Fall is known for its colorful foliage. But
the pigments responsible for those colors are actually present y e a r - r o u n d . According to the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, green, yellow and orange pigments are present year-round. However, during spring and summer, the leaves serve as factories where many foods necessary to help the tree grow are manufactured. That process takes place in the leaf in cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaves their green color. This process ceases as hours of daylight
decrease and temperatures drop. As a result, chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears and the vivid colors of fall foliage begin to appear. • Squirrels have a (sophisticated) plan out there. Squirrels hiding food in autumn for the upcoming winter is a familiar sight. And squirrels are more organized than many people may know. Groundbreaking research released in 1991 found that, even when squirrels bury that stash of nuts closely to one another, they will each return to the precise location of their personal cache. Recent research also has shown that squirrels bury their stash based on certain traits, such as the type of nut being buried. • Babies born in fall are more likely to see the century mark. Researchers at the University of Chicago studied more than 1,500 centenarians born in the United States between 1880 and 1895. They then compared birth and death information with those centenarians’ siblings and spouses so they could compare their early environment and genetic background and their adult environment. Their research found that most centenarians were born between September and November.

Dirty Vegan!
With this week being the official return to fall schedules, a good many of us are finding that time is becoming a great commodity. As such, we look to cut corners, which for a good portion of us means reducing the amount of time we spend on meal planning and preparation. I know because I am guilty as Laura Kurella well. However, when we shorten the time we put into our meals we end up shorting our own health because what we eat – and especially how it’s been prepared - does play an important role in our body’s health and how we look and feel. While I was pondering this conundrum, it occurred to me that we all manage to find the time to make sure that proper maintenance and fuel goes into our autos, so perhaps if we’d just start looking at our bodies as though they were vehicle that our souls drive around the earth in perhaps we would take the time to also give them the maintenance and fuel they also need, especially given the fact that we don’t get to trade out body vehicles in! With so many scientists and studies telling us that plant-forward diets are the easy path to optimum health, its made me be on the look-out for interesting and exciting ways to push more plants onto our plates, which is how I ran across The Dirty Vegan Cookbook by Catherin Gill (2018 Hatherleigh Press/ Random House). A holistic vegan chef who specializes in natural and health foods, Gill found her passion in writing, literature, and social science while in college. Beginning her blog, The Dirty Vegan, in 2010, Gill said she likes to focus on comfort-food-style vegan recipes that are fun, accessible and healthy. One thing that I especially appreciate about Gill is that she specializes in veganized versions of classic desserts, which makes enjoying her sweets that much more fun for us to eat! Her all-in-one vegan-style cookbook does make eating vegan fun - whether you are a vegan or not and it lets you prepare delicious vegan cuisine that anyone and everyone – even kids – can eat and enjoy without ever knowing that they've just eaten a vegan treat! Providing healthy and delicious comfort foods that everyone craves, I think it’s awesome that there is a cookbook that makes it fun and pleasurable to eat more plant-forward foods and return us to making food what it should be - a true celebration of flavor that provides nourishment too! Here now is a sweet sampling from the Dirty Vegan Cookbook that are truly, dare I say it, animal free - ENJOY! Get more at www.TheDirtyVegan.com.
Bet you didn’t think that a healthier, more “plant-forward” diet could look or taste this good, but it can and it does – yum! Photos and recipes courtesy of the Dirty Vegan Cookbook (2018 Hatherleigh Press/ Random House)

How to keep a pet-friendly home clean Sixty-eight percent of American households, or about 85 million families, own a pet, according to the 2017-2018 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association. Canada’s Pet Wellness report indicates that approximately 35 percent of Canadian households have a dog, while 38 percent have a cat. Dogs, cats and other companion animals can be wonderful to have around, breathing energy into a family. Despite all of the
advantages pets can bring, they tend to be a little messy. However, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to have a pet and maintain a clean home. Homeowners just need to take a few extra steps to help things along. • Manage pet fur. One of the persistent issues pet parents face is fur. Grooming the pet regularly (preferably outdoors) will help tame some of its fur. Covering sofas and other places where pets like to lounge with an old sheet can contain
some of the fur where it can be shaken off outdoors and laundered frequently. • Upgrade your vacuum. You’ll need a vacuum with strong suction to pick up fur, dirt, dander, feathers, birdseed, and any of the other debris that can accumulate thanks to pets. A vacuum with a good brush action also can dig in deep to carpets and upholstery to really clean thoroughly, say the experts at House Beautiful. • Pause for paws at the door. Keep a small container of water by
the front door. When returning from walks, dip the dog’s paws into the water and dry before entering the house. This keeps dirt (and salt in the winter) from being a nuisance.
• Get the right cleanser. Pet owners must contend with accidents. Look for an enzymatic cleanser that will treat stains and odors so that pets do not return to the soiled area again and
again thinking this is an acceptable potty location, says Modern Dog magazine. Test an area of the carpet or floor being treated for colorfastness before applying. Address accidents promptly. • Choose the right upholstery. According to Martha Stewart Living, look for topgrain, semi-aniline leathers, as scratches are disguised on such pieces. In terms of fabric, microfiber or microsuede are better suited to pets because the fabric is tightly woven and may be
more resistant to fur and soiling. • Launder pet items. Regularly wash bedding and other belongings that pets use. This will help tame indoor odors. • Keep nails neat. Clipping dog and cat and other small animals’ nails may help avoid scratches on furniture and floors. If you do not feel comfortable doing it, take the animal to a groomer. Pet owners can keep their homes clean regardless of how much dirt their pets track into the house.

Storage/display opportunities: In furniture, along walls and in hidden places
(MS) — Finding more space to store and display all the “stuff ” used for dayto-day living, as well as life’s pleasures, can be an adventure that ends with everything in its perfect place. Woodcraft can help you with a few ideas to kick-start your space hunt and then suggestions for tools and supplies to make your storage projects successful. Small tables with enclosed storage underneath, chests and trunks that provide seating, benches with built-in storage, beds with builtin space underneath or in the headboard, and kitchen islands with concealed nooks are all options to manage “stuff.” In the kitchen, add drawers to the space (toe-kick) beneath lower cabinets to store rarely used items. Shelving and bookcases, either built-in or freestanding/open or enclosed, will
transform unused wall areas or sections of large closets into instant storage for a wide range of items. Nooks cut out of the wall and covered by pictures offer one of many concealed storage options that also include nooks or drawers in the sides of enclosed staircases. The ideas for storage and display projects are endless and can be found through Internet searches and on Woodcraft.com in books like “Stanley Built-Ins & Storage” by David Schiff, in the Woodcraft blog, and in free videos and articles. Plan for Painting Up Front “When choosing where to develop storage and display space, you have the opportunity to rethink the colors in rooms where changes will be made,” Woodcraft
Public Relations Manager and blogger Lori Harper said. “By using paint in building, buying or repurposing storage pieces, you can change or supplement an existing color palette.” Woodcraft stocks a wide selection of finishing and paint products, including the versatile General Finishes Milk Paint, General Finishes Flat Out Flat Topcoat, Black Dog Salvage Furniture Paint, and Black Dog Salvage Guard Dog and Show Dog Topcoats. Building Made Easy Pocket-hole joinery is a quick, easy way to join wood pieces for building projects. Kreg makes it simple with a pocket-hole jig for every application to create very strong joints. Check out Festool’s CXS Compact Drill Driver Set for drilling pock-
et holes and adding pocket screws, as well as handling other day-to-day drilling and driving challenges with comfort. Tight spaces, dark spots, and corners are no match for it. For projects that require using nearly invisible fasteners, the industrial strength Grex 23gauge Headless Pinner leaves only the tiniest of entry holes, making it ideally suited for finishing work, detailed woodworking, light wood assembly, decorative trim, dowel and joint pinning, and picture frame assembly. To provide air pressure for the pinner, Rolair’s J C 1 0 P L U S Compressor is a good choice. The oilless machine features a 1 HP, single-stage, twoc y l i n d e r motor/pump and a stainless steel reed valve that runs on low RPM for optimum quiet opera-
This travel trunk from the 1970s is now a reimagined family heirloom storage trunk that fits well into any room. tion. Building drawers is easy with the Kreg Drawer Slide Jig that supports drawer boxes while mounting slides to the drawer. The jig works with ball-bearing, epoxy-coated, and undermount slides for perfect positioning every time. Whether you’re boring shelf pin holes in a new entertainment center or adding adjustable shelving in an existing cabinet, the Kreg Shelf Pin Jig will help you get the job done quickly and accurately. The Kreg Cabinet Hardware Jig makes it easy to
install knobs and pulls on drawers and doors. Shortcuts & Safety To save time when building drawers, check out the Readyto-Use Prefinished Birch Drawer Sides at Woodcraft. For some really made-to-order storage units, use WoodRiver Cubby Cube Connectors. Available in three configurations — cross-brackets, Tbrackets or L-brackets —these handy connectors allow for quick and easy construction of multiple cube storage using
3⁄4”-thick material in any size you need. Protect your ears while using power tools with ISOtunes Professional Noise Isolating Earbuds — OSHA-approved hearing protection and Bluetooth technology so you can connect to a smartphone and listen to music. If protection is all you need, consider the Pyramex BP 3000 Banded Earplugs. To learn more about these and other products, visit your local Woodcraft store, call (800) 5354482 or visit www.Woodcraft.com.
