4 Heartland programs earn SEALs certification By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com

Heartland Career Center in Wabash recently had four programs certified as State Earn and Learns (SEALs), enabling students to graduate with industry credentials, college credits and valuable work and learn experiences with local employers. The four SEALs are: welding; health sciences; precision agriculture; and precision machining. Students enrolled in the programs receive industry-tailored instruction, on-thejob-training and opportunities to continue their education or enter the workforce upon graduation. The Indiana Department of W o r k f o r c e Development (DWD) is helping to skill-up the state’s workforce by developing and facilitating comprehensive work-based learning programs with education and industry partners, offering SEAL programs to employers

and education partners through its Office of Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship (OWBLA). “Employers are constantly searching for young talent that can provide value to their business,” said Matt DeGolyer, a Regional Director of

cal work experience that sets them apart in the interview room. They check all the boxes for a highquality prospective employee.” SEALs are structured, scalable programs ranging from just eight weeks to two years in length and include industry

“Heartland Career Center is a great example of a school that understands the value of public-private partnerships.” — Matt DeGolyer, a Regional Director of Office of Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship OWBLA. “Students who complete SEALs will possess solid technical classroom knowledge, industryrecognized certifications and the practi-

certifications tailored for any sector. They are designed to meet the skills that employers demand, are geared toward both adult and youth popu-

lations, and satisfy Indiana’s new graduation pathway requirements. Students at the Heartland Career Center who are enrolled in any one of the four SEAL programs earn dual credits for either Ivy Tech Community College or Vincennes University while still in high school. Each program also includes more than 1,250 hours of workbased learning and related instruction, and has the support of multiple employer partners eager to provide students with those opportunities. Heartland expects in the upcoming school year that roughly 100 students will participate in both the precision machining and welding programs, about

20 in precision agriculture and approximately 70 in health sciences. Students enrolled in health sciences earn five industry-recognized certifications (Certified Nursing Assistant, CPR, First Aid, Dementia Care and Home Health Aide). “We are happy to

internships. Indiana has attached financial support to incentivise Business and Industry participation.” “Heartland Career

Center is a great example of a school that understands the value of public-private partnerships,” DeGolyer said. “The local partnerships developed through the SEALs allow forwardthinking employers to locate and play a part in developing qualified talent, enable students to build relationships with employers and showcase their unique skillsets in the workforce, and provides an opportunity for the school to connect classroom learning with the local business environment.” DWD projects Indiana employers will need to fill 1 million plus jobs in the next 10 years, half of which will not require a four-year college degree, but some type of certification or credential beyond a high school diploma. The Office of WorkBased Learning and Apprenticeship is part of Gov. Holcomb’s NextLevel Jobs Agenda.

Junior Leaders near fundraising goal Blake Huston, President of Wabash County 4-H Junior Leaders, along with members of the Junior Leaders club extend their thanks to Wabash community members who support the organization and supported through purchasing snacks and drinks from the concessions stand at the Wabash County 4-H Fair. “We were blown away with everyone

who came out and supported our concession booth at The Wabash County 4-H Fair. We thank you,” said Huston. Donors and customers have helped Junior leaders get 63 percent closer to meeting their fundraising goal in order to purchase a new concessions trailer. “We have other fundraisers planned for this year and we

strive to meet our goal. If you have a passion to help us with a monetary contribution, I encourage you to contact me,” said Huston. “I would be pleased to go over all details with you. With your help we will be able to collect the remaining 37 percent of our goal.” Huston can be reached by email at blakehuston07@gmail .com.

City, LIFE Center work together to bring baby box to Wabash Fire Department By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A Safe Haven Baby Box will soon be coming to one of the City of Wabash’s fire stations. The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety approved an agreement Thursday, Aug. 6, with the LIFE Center to install the Baby Box at one of the stations. A Baby Box is typically installed at either a fire station or a hospital and allow people to safely surrender their babies to authorities. An alarm rings when the door to the box is open. A second alarm rings when the baby is placed inside a bassinette inside the box, and a third alarm rings when the door is shut. Personnel respond to the alarm within minutes to begin caring for the infant. So far this year, four babies have been saved around Indiana thanks to the use of a baby box. Under the agreement, the LIFE Center will begin having fundraisers to raise half of the $10,000 needed for the initial startup, with the city paying for the other half. There is then a $200 fee annually to be split between the two entities. “I’ve been working on this for two and a half or three years to try to get this done,” Mayor Scott Long told the board. “Since the time I started speaking, Cheryl Myers from the LIFE Center contacted me. They’re interested in partnering and fundraising to get the Safe Haven box installed.” Myers said it is hard enough dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. “Most of the girls and women we see are willing to go through with their pregnancy,” she said. “But circumstances change during the pregnancy or after the pregnancy, and they realize that their partner may leave

them, their support systems may not be there, and they can’t do raising a baby on their own. So this gives them an option within 30 days to surrender their baby totally anonymous. This is the safe way to do it.” Columbia City has such a baby box, and it was utilized one time last year, the mayor noted. Long told The Paper of Wabash County after the meeting that it has not yet been determined at which fire station it would be located. Safe Haven officials will inspect the sites before making a recommendation. He said the training building located behind the north side fire station might also be considered for the location. While the training building isn’t manned, it is located across the parking lot and fire personnel can arrive there almost immediately after the final alarm is sounded. “I think it’s a good thing for the community,” Long said. “I hope we never have to use it, but it’s a good thing to have around if a mother decides she can’t take care of her child.” In another matter, the board approved Brainard Excavating to raze an unsafe home at 244 E. Hill St. The board previously ordered the structure demolished. Brainard bid $7,400 for the project, the lowest of three bidders. Hank’s Construction and Treska Brothers also submitted bids. The board also approved installing a new clarifier at the city’s Waste Water Treatment Plant. A bearing went bad causing the clarifier to malfunction. Replacing the clarifier with a rebuilt one

would cost about $18,000, while replacing it with a new one would cost about $35,000, Waste Water Superintendent Bob Gray said. The rebuilt equipment would replace the lower unit on the clarifier, while the new one would replace both upper and lower units. “It’s 30 years old and is one of the last two capital improvements I still had to do on the original plant from 1994,” he said. “Installation costs looks like it will be between $12,000 and $15,000. “I’m going to recommend that we go with a new upper and lower unit. It runs 24-

7, 365 days a year, and it’s lasted since 1994. It’s been in there a minute.” The facility has two clarifiers, Gray said, “which is why we didn’t get in trouble with (Indiana Department of Environmental Management). We’re not technically bypassing a treatment process. We just

have one of them down and we’re oper-

ating at a reduced flow. Fortunately, we

have dry weather. We’ll be OK.”

Public art pieces dedicated during First Friday By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com

During First Friday on Aug. 7 in Downtown Wabash, locals joined at the corner of Canal and Miami Streets to celebrate the official dedication of some public art. The event honored the installation of fifteen decorative art wraps on traffic control boxes throughout Wabash and North Manchester. The project was a partnership between Visit Wabash County, City of Wabash, Town of North Manchester, Manchester Alive, INDOT, OCRA, Bad Apple Graphics, and

Wabash Marketplace. The large, metal boxes at prominent intersections are wrapped in famous works of art. In addition, two of the designs feature artwork by local artists. One of the wrapped boxes, in North Manchester, features the painting “Celebrating North Manchester,” a 2018 work by Susan Ring. The box in Wabash that features a local artist is covered by “Downtown Wabash Street Scene,” a 2016 work by Terry Pulley. Other artists featured on the control boxes include Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Édouard Manet.

Officials who helped make the art wraps on traffic control boxes a possibility release confetti cannons to celebrate the official dedication of the art.

During the dedication, the local artists, and town officials who helped with the process of getting the project done were recognized and spoke about the project and the importance of the public art to the Wabash and North Manchester commu-

nities. Once the official dedication was done, all involved in the project set off biodegradable confetti cannons to celebrate the new addition to the two communities. Also available at the dedication were printed brochures that

offer a map of all art wrapped boxes in both Wabash and North Manchester, that will be available in multiple locations for citizens and guests of each community to use to take a tour of the art. Also at First Friday, city snow plows were set up for local stu-

dents to paint on, in order to give some character and personalization to the otherwise bland vehicles. First Fridays are an event through Downtown Wabash Marketplace and happen every first Friday of the month from 5-8 p.m.

Parkview Health gets suicide prevention grant The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has awarded Parkview Health a $772,000 grant for the creation of a regional suicide prevention program. The award comes at a critical time, as research shows the pandemic is having a negative impact on the mental health of northeast Indiana residents. The grant will be used to hire a project coordinator and four Suicide Obviation

and Support (SOS) navigators, who will be embedded in hospital emergency departments and connected to resources within the Parkview Behavioral Health Institute, as well as domestic violence organizations and emergency shelters. The SOS navigators will provide “atelbow” support for suicidal crisis and domestic violence victims, coordinating care and referrals to treatment programs, support services and

community resources. The team will also conduct suicide prevention training for healthcare providers and community organizations throughout the region. The same navigator model has been successfully implemented with peer recovery coaches in Parkview’s Medication Assisted Treatment program for opiate or substance use disorder. “Northeast Indiana has a critical need for

suicide prevention efforts, and the effects of the pandemic have heightened that need,” said Connie Kerrigan, director of community outreach, Parkview Behavioral Health Institute. “For those at risk for suicide, we know there is a disconnect between seeing a health care provider and then following up with treatment or other services. The SOS navigators will help bridge this gap and ensure continu-

ity of care.” According to data from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Indiana’s suicide rate has been on a steep upward trend, increasing from 13.5 suicide deaths per 100,000 people in 2012 to 16.9 in 2019. This rate is higher than the national increase (12.4 to 14.5) in the same period. Additionally, the Informatics Team at the Parkview Mirro Center for Research

& Innovation recently conducted two community surveys to examine the impact of COVID-19 on various aspects of physical and mental health. The surveys revealed that pandemic-related sanctions are having a negative effect on mental health for respondents (55%) and their families (38%). The SOS navigator program will cover eight northeast Indiana counties:

Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Wabash and Whitley. It is expected to begin within the next three months. To be connected to mental health resources anytime, 24 hours a day, call the Parkview Behavioral Health HelpLine at 260-373-7500 or 1-800284-8439, or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Lowe wins National Youth Hero award Barb Parkhurst, Department Children & Youth Chair, and Shirley Price presented Maverick Lowe with the National Youth Hero Award including Certificate, Medal and 100 anniversary coin from the Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit 402. He was nominated by the unit for the award which went from unit, to district, to department all the way to national headquarters. Maverick is a remarkable young man with a heart of gold who is very deserving of this honor. Pastor Cox thanked the auxiliary for all it does for the community and Laketon Wesleyan Church. He also announced that on Saturday, Aug 15 from 11:30 a.m. 2:30 p.m. in the church parking lot they will be having a family fest with food, games, entertainment and giving out school backpacks for kids. Department Chaplain Roxy Stoner presented the unit’s

2019-20 100 percent membership ribbon to Thelma Butler, current unit president. Butler reported that this year is a carry-over of 2019-20 but with a few changes necessary to Laketon Unit. The national, department and district officers thought it best because of the year being cut short by six months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Officers are planning a carry out fish fry on Sept. 4 in the Neighborhood Fresh parking lot in North Manchester. Poppy Chair Miriam Linkenhoker reported the unit will be having Poppy Days over Labor Day weekend with restrictions to keep everyone safe. Roxy went into some detail about what her and the other volunteers do for our veterans at the Marion VA. There are 160-180 permanent residents there who get very few visitors. The volunteers provide snacks, gifts, entertainment and play bingo with the

veterans (everyone wins a prize). The next District meeting is at North Manchester this month on the 18th. Thelma and Miriam did a beautiful charter draping ceremony for Hazel (King) Butler-Gloe, recently passed Unit 402 member. Maverick Lowe (above) shows off his medal next to Shirley Price (center) and Barb Parkhurst. Roxy Stoner (below) stands next to Thelma Butler holding her 100 percent membership ribbon.

Parkview lauded for maternity care Parkview Regional Medical Center has been named to Newsweek’s 2020 list of Best Maternity Care Hospitals. The distinction recognizes facilities that have excelled in providing care to mothers, newborns and their families, as verified by the 2019 Leapfrog Hospital Survey. “From prenatal to delivery to newborn care, we’re focused on

providing a warm, safe and comfortable experience for every family,” said Patti Brahe, senior vice president, women’s and children’s services, Parkview Health. “This recognition is a direct reflection of our co-workers’ world-class teamwork and dedication to moms and babies. We are grateful for all the Parkview moms who have entrusted us with their care.”

“Best Maternity Care Hospitals showcases an elite group of hospitals from across the country,” said Nancy Cooper, global editor in chief, Newsweek. “These facilities stand out for the care they provide to women and families, and for giving babies a strong start to life. Particularly in these uncertain times, we are honored to share this list of top-ranked

facilities with Newsweek’s readership.” Hospitals named as a Best Maternity Care Hospital have fully met The Leapfrog Group’s standards for maternity care on evidence-

based, nationally standardized metrics. This includes lower rates of early elective delivery, C-section and episiotomy, as well as compliance with process measures including newborn bilirubin

screening prior to discharge and blood clot prevention techniques for mothers delivering via C-section. Best Maternity Care Hospitals is part of Newsweek’s Best Health Care series,

powered by data from The Leapfrog Group. Parkview Regional Medical Center was one of fewer than 250 hospitals to receive the accolade.

Windsong Flute Ensemble to peform in LaFontaine Windsong Flute Ensemble will be playing a free pop-up concert in downtown LaFontaine from 7-8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25. The group is composed of eight flute players and includes piccolo, C flutes, alto and bass flutes. There is no charge and everyone is welcome to bring a lawn chair and cold beverage to socially distance and enjoy the music. The selections will include music familiar to kids, pop favorites, a hymn or two and music just to show off flutes. This group is normally part of the Mississinewa Valley Band and has branched out to play in smaller venues. These players can usually be heard in the foyer before the band concerts at the Phillipe Auditorium. Plan to get out of the house for some live musicians and you might even see some neighbors you know. Bring the family as it will not be a late evening. The ensemble will be playing right in front of the big white Parker House on Branson Street downtown. If anyone is old

enough to remember the street movies that were part of the summer in downtown back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s this will feel familiar. Everyone is invited and we hope we have a good crowd.

free society there can be a threat of captivity. Daniel and his three friends were teenagers when taken into captivity by Babylon at the great fall of Jerusalem. We can learn many things through Daniel’s example. The first thing we learn from Daniel being held in captivity is he purposed in his heart not to defile his body. It would be easy as a young person to give in to the ways of others and compromise in the ways of the world, but Daniel did not do that. The Babylonians changed the names of

Daniel and his three friends. The original Hebrew names were representing Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews. The Babylonian names were of their gods and Daniel did not want to represent anything but the true almighty God. Even when given the King’s meat to eat and wine to drink, Daniel asked the one over them if he and his friends could just eat vegetables and drink water. The guard was concerned that they would not be healthy before the king, so Daniel said, “give us ten days and if we don’t look better then we will eat of the King’s meat and drink of the wine”. Daniel wanted his God to receive credit for their doing so well rather than the Babylonian gods. Sure enough, Daniel and his friends looked better and reasoned better than the others. Therefore, all the exiles had to eat vegetables and drink (continued on page 15)

Urbana will be hosting another tractor pull on Aug 15 at the Urbana Lions/ Community Ball Park. Weigh in will start around 9am. For more information call Troy at (260)571-3284. Urbana Lions Snack Shack will be open. An Urbana Lion: This gentleman’s name is Luke Hunt. He joined the Urbana Lions Club in 2005 and held the position of Urbana Lion Club President for two terms. His wife’s name is Darlene. They were married in Chicago June 30, 1962 and have tested the age of time for 58 years. They set up homesteading in Urbana in 2002. Together they have had 3 children: Laurel who lives in Lagro, Kristin lives in North Manchester and Stephen lives in Los Angeles. At present they have seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Luke attended North Fond du Lac High School in Wisconsin. He then attended Grace Bible College in Wyoming, Mich. Luke also studied at two other Universities, Manchester University B.S. Biology Education and St. Francis University M.S. Biology. He taught at

Carribean Grace Academy and Ponce Puerto Rico for 2 and one-half years. Luke then taught at Whitko High School for 37 years along with Grace College part time for 8 years. Luke is a Pastor for Bethel/Salem congregation (traditional and c o n s e r v a t i v e Methodist) 2018 to present.

Arctic Research where he also participated in perma frost retention research near Fairbanks, Alaska. Environmental studies where he directed the startup of Grace College Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams and conducted seasonal interpretive hikes sponsored by Lilly Center. This guy will surprise you with what he can do in Taxidermy. This is a story I think you will like. Luke had stuffed a small squirrel and brought it to the Urbana Lion’s white elephant Christmas party one year. Once the squirrel package was opened, everyone thought it was so cute. I myself just had to have it, but as luck would have it I didn’t end up

Roann News water. We purpose in our hearts by putting off the old self which is corrupt in our deceitful desires. The old nature lives by feelings and has a rollercoaster of a life. The old self allows self to dominate. We should not live that way. We are to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God, in true righteousness and holiness. The new man lives a command-oriented life which is dominated by God. And here is the age-old question, “How do I change from the corrupt man to the righteous man?” Ephesians 4:23 tells us we change by allowing the spirit of our minds to be renewed. Our minds need to be renovated and our thinking changed by the instruction of God’s word. We change by following God’s commands and not our feelings. Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile his body and the only way he could do that was by being obedient to God and living a life to please God and not man or man-made

with it. Luke stated that he learned taxidermy by correspondence course in seventh and eighth grades. This really grabbed his attention and has been an enjoyable hobby for many years. Luke has many other interests such as being on call for his grandchildren and great grand children. Lapidary, beekeeping, stone sculpting. Working at the Community Orchard in Winona Lake. Observing and learning about God’s magnificent creation. The Urbana Lions Club and trying to keep informed of national and world affairs.

Sauce it up! Remoulade through the last days of summer By Laura Kurella

“Sauce,” which is a French word meaning, “A relish used to make food taste more appetizing,” was invented in the early days of cooking when the lack of refrigeration made food, shall we say, far from fresh, and needing a flavor “masking” in order to be consumed. Remoulade is a sauce created for such a reason, though today it is used more as an enhancer and in far more appetizing ways. Pronounced “raymuh-LAHD,” the original French version was very much like a tartar sauce, and made using mayonnaise, parsley, chives, chervil, tarragon, capers, cornichons (sweet pickles) and anchovy paste. Denmark put its own spin on the sauce and create such a tasty version that it is now considered an essential to Danish open-faced roast beef sandwiches. In Denmark, remoulade has found its way onto fish fillets and hot dogs, and is also one of the most commonly used dipping sauces for French fries. In Sweden and Norway remoulade is used most often on fish and boiled potatoes. In the United States, Louisiana is famous for its remoulade, which is quite different from the French original, being more red bright red to ruddy orange - and usually very piquant. America boasts different remoulade styles that fall generally into one of three categories - those with a mayonnaise base, those with a

ketchup base, and those with an oil base. All three versions have an abundance of finely chopped vegetables, usually green onions and celery, and parsley; most are made with Creole mustard. Salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper are also standard ingredients. In the oil- and mayonnaise-based versions, the reddish hue comes from the addition of paprika. Other popular additions include lemon juice, minced garlic, vinegar, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce. The nice thing about remoulade, no matter where you live, is that you can customize this sauce to contain your own favorite flavors, which offers a nice way to use up garden surpluses and tickle those taste buds at the same time. While remoulade was originally invented to hide flavor imperfections, today we can use it to bring out the best and make really great-tasting food. Remoulade your taste buds through the last days of summer by taking them on a tasty trip around the world. These recipes are just the ticket! French Remoulade This classic French sauce pairs perfectly with celery root to create a crunchy, aniseed-flavored salad in an amazing mayonnaise dressing. 1 pound celery root 1 red onion, thinly sliced 1 cup mayonnaise 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 lemon, juice and zest of, grated 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

This Classic New Orleans style remoulade is traditionally served with shrimp or crab cakes, but this sauce is so delicious you just may find yourself licking the bowl. Photo by Laura Kurella. Salt and pepper, to taste Peel the celery root then cut into thin julienne strips or matchsticks. Place in a bowl and add sliced onion. Whisk the mayonnaise with the mustard, lemon zest and juice, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning. If you find the sauce a little too thick, thin it with 1-2 tablespoons milk. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Stir in the parsley and serve. Approximate servings per recipe: 4. Per
