2nd District candidates to debate in Wabash

Bass & Bucks to host Cross Country Walk By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Like many pulpits, Sheila Butcher’s is made of wood. Unlike others, though, her pulpit is made of 200 acres of wood, along with a few creeks, a river, a waterfall, a small canyon and a three-acre island. Butcher, who owns Bass & Bucks with her husband, Glenn, is opening the complex on Saturday afternoon and evening for the first-ever Cross County Walk. “I call it Cross Country Walk because I have a cross in the center of our property, we’ve got country music, we’re out here in the country and I want to pray for this country,” she said sitting in an ATV preparing for a tour of the facility. On Saturday, Oct. 15, the public is invited to come to Bass & Bucks beginning at 3 p.m., for a patriotic and religious ceremony. Visitors can walk through the woods from 3-6 p.m. WKUZ will provide country music, and visitors are invited to bring hot dogs and marshmallows to roast on bonfires, as well as beverages and lawn chairs. Following the ceremony, those attending will be invited to walk along the luminary-lighted property to the cross where they can pray for all to hear, or privately between themselves and their God. The plans have been in the works since late summer, when controversy began to swirl about NFL players who refused to stand for the national anthem. “So I want to stand up for our flag and kneel at the cross,” she said. “If we’re going to kneel, let’s kneel at the cross.” There are many conflicts in the nation and world today. The best way to help solve the problems, Butcher believes, is to pray. (continued on page 3)

A debate between the two major party candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives’ 2nd District seat is planned in Wabash County on Tuesday, Nov. 1. However, the debate between Republican incumbent Jackie Walorski and Democrat challenger Lynn Coleman will not be open to the public or the outside media. Rather, it will be from the studios of WKUZ (95.9 FM) radio. Wabash County Council member and former Indiana House of Representative Bill Ruppel will moderate the event. He said the candidates requested it not be open to the public or media. Coleman’s campaign manager Tim Wagner told The Paper of Wabash County that his candidate agreed to the closed debate because “that was the only option given to us.” “It is something our opponent agreed to,” he contin(continued on page 4)

14th annual Chili Cook-off is Saturday By Joseph Slacian Jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com For a few hours Saturday afternoon, Oct. 15, the Paradise Spring Historic Park will become the second largest town in Wabash County. That’s because thousands of people are expected to visit the park for the 14th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off. Between 85 and 90 teams will begin preparing their chili at 8 a.m., with serv-

visitors will to those who opinions, the in the Chili

Appreciation Society International (CASI) contest, which features chili prepared with no beans or other fillers. Chili Committee chair Todd Titus said there will be no noticeable chances to the event. “We’re sticking with the same game plan that we’ve always done,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s a chili cook-off competition. That’s what it’s always been.” There were 85 teams participating last year.

“The applications were a little slow coming in, so we kind of thought maybe the weather (was a factor),” Titus said. “It’s been so unseasonably warm that people probably weren’t thinking too much about chili. “At this point in time, we’re pretty happy with what we’ve got.” Teams will be located around the walking track in the park, as well as across the area of the park immediately south of the Norfolk Southern railroad track.

MSD donates blankets to Wellbrooke residents By The Paper staff MSD of Wabash County is involving themselves in some community activities. It donated some lap size fleece blankets for The Wellbrooke Craft Fair on Sept. 17. Residents names were drawn-out to win the blankets. As fall approaches residents often need something extra for warmth. Blankets were made and donated by an MSD employee and family. At Wellbrooke there are many residents that are parents, grandparents, greatgrandparents of MSD graduates and current students. Velma Templin and her oldest son graduated from Somerset. Her oldest was in the last graduating class of Somerset. She had four other children, several grandkids and

Bass & Bucks to host Cross Country Walk “If we want to change things you’ve got to ‘PUSH’ through,” she said. “’PUSH’ stands for Pray Until Something Happens. The best thing anyone can do is to pray. If we want to change the direction of our nation, and we want stronger communities, then we need good people running for our government. We need to support that government and those decisions being made. She believes her family’s business is the perfect place to do just that. “At Bass and Bucks we have a three-hour radius of people that come in,” she said. “Tell me what church has a three-hour radius of people that come in. I talk to every different type of faith. What gets us through our lives, faith, family and friends. I don’t care who you are, when you kneel down, and you’re facing an illness or you’re facing trouble, it’s your faith, it’s your family, it’s your friends that get you through.

“That’s why we want to invite everybody. I don’t care if they haven’t spent a day in a church. I want them to come out here and pray. I want them to come out here and be with other people who believe we can make a difference. We’re opening the property. We’ve got over 200 acres to walk and pray. Prayer walking is good for the heart. It’s good for the soul. It’s good for this nation.” Saturday’s event is open to all, regardless of their level of mobility. For those unable to walk to the cross, they can participate in a prayer walk around the property’s asphalt surfaces. That will largely be focused around the former Star Lodge from the now-defunct Camp Kokiwanee Girl Scout camp. The facility also has the former flagpole from Kokiwanee. “The night of the cross country walk, we will meet at the pole for prayer,” she said. “We’ll have a circle of prayer. People can pray if they want,

ferent prayer stations. We’ll be talking about count your blessings. We’ll be talking about forgiveness, about current events. We need to be praying about the consolidation of our schools. If that’s the way we’re supposed to go, ask for guidance on that. What’s it supposed to

ally be painted crosses on the asphalt so when they get here there will be a reason to pray – to pray for our fireman, pray for our policemen. Pray for our community. Pray for our hospitals. That way, if you bring a stroller out here or bring the kids in the wagon, you can still take a part of it, but you don’t have to walk through the woods if you can’t physically or you don’t want to walk through the woods. You can at least take part in it.” For those who walk through the woods,

signs will be placed along the trail with biblical or inspirational quotations on it. There also will be some scenes, showing people various temptations often faced in life. “Our hope is to have the lighted trees to have one for the military, one for the police officers, one for the sheriff ’s department, one will be just white lights because we’re all God’s light,” Butcher said. “We just want to honor that and those people who have gone before us. “There will be dif-

Following that, the walk will begin. “At 7 o’clock we’re going to take a night hike to the woods,” Butcher explained. “We want people to walk, to stand, to kneel, to wheel, to sit, however it’s most comfortable. “We’re going to have a cross walk where there will actu-

14th annual Chili Cook-off is Saturday ...continued from the front page In the first 13 years, the cook-off has raised more than $430,000 for local charities. This year, 10 local non-profit groups will benefit from the event. Titus said that deciding what groups to help can be difficult. “But it always

shakes out,” he said. “It can be a pretty lively discussion. We go over all the applications. All the members of the committee get the applications to look them over ahead of time, then we just dedicate one to two meetings. “Sometimes we get it done in one.

Sometimes there’s stuff we want to check out, so we get a preliminary idea and come back the next week. It’s a process. “We try to look at needs, the project – if it’s something that’s happening right now, we usually don’t get involved in long-

term projects that are a ways from fruition,” Titus continued. “We like to see the money taken and put to work right now to make an impact.” Parking will be available at the Wabash High School with the Senior Transit providing

free shuttle service. In addition, Trolley No.85 will also be on hand transporting people around town. In addition to the cook-off, the Honeywell Center will host its annual craft show from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m

2nd District candidates to debate in Wabash ...continued from the front page ued. “We had to be a part of that or there would be no debate.” He said the Coleman campaign believes the debate should be open to the public. Wagner also said the Coleman campaign never agreed to limit media access to the event. “We were never asked if other media could be involved,” he said. “We would love for the other media to be there.” That is especially true, he said, in the case of media outlets from the northern part of the district. “They should be

able to live stream the debate,” he said Since the debate is more than three weeks away, Wagner believes organizers and the two sides should get together and come up with a better solution. As for Ruppel moderating the debate, Wagner said, “the moderator now is partisan. We need to put together a debate that is non-partisan.” Ruppel, during his time in the Indiana House of Re presentatives, served with Walorski. “Indiana has 800,000 people in the district,” Wagner

said. “They can’t find someone who is not tied to one of the political parties?” In 2014, Walorski and her thenDemocrat challenger, Joe Bock, debated in Wabash County at the

Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center, Wagner pointed out. The moderator at that debate was local attorney Jordan Tandy. Walorski’s campaign had no comment on the format,

other than to say “we responded to the invitation that was extended to us.” Walorski did say, “I fight every day for Hoosier families, workers, veterans, farmers, and small business owners, and I’m excited for the opportunity to reach voters across the 2nd District, including with a radio debate right here in Wabash. I look forward to discussing the work I’m doing to protect Americans from terrorism, keep our economy strong, and make the VA work for veterans.” Ruppel took excep-

tion to the Coleman camp’s debate, saying it was aware of his working with Walorski while both served in the Indiana House of Representatives. “They knew it at the start,” he said. “We had talked to them about it. I don’t know why they’re changing their mind now.” While the public will not be allowed to attend the debate, it can submit questions for the debate by visiting wkuz.com and filling out the provided form located under the “Debate Information” tab. Again, no personal

attacks against either candidate will be allowed, Ruppel said. Questions can will fall into three groups of the following topics: • Economy, jobs, entitlements and healthcare. • Homeland security, safety, foreign affairs and veteran affairs. • Agriculture, environment or miscellaneous. A meet and greet session with Walorski and Coleman will take place following the event at the Wabash County Farm Bureau Office located at 594 S. Miami St. in Wabash.

UF board visits area businesses By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Members of the Wabash County United Fund Board of Directors took to the streets of Wabash and North Manchester on Wednesday morning, Oct. 5, to raise awareness of the 2016 fundraising campaign. The group left the Honeywell Center circular drive shortly after 8:30 a.m. aboard Trolley No.85 and made stops at a dozen businesses and industries in the two communities. The event was the brainchild of board member Nate Fansher. “We’re just looking for something creative, something a little bit different, something to catch a little attention in the community,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “We wanted to let everyone know we’re still here and interested in helping the community.” UF President Tim Stiglich said he hopes the exercise raises awareness about the organization.

Members of the United Fund Board of Directors toured Wabash County on Oct. 5 to raise awareness of its 2016 fundraising campaign. The members stopped by locations including the Main View Inn to speak with local business owners about donating and posed for photos. Those posing for photo include (front row, from left) Community Foundation Executive Director Patty Grant, CF Program Director Julie Garber, Eric Lundmark, Deanna Maller, Nate Fansher, Cottage Creations owner Bill Leonhard, (back row, from left) Jim Widner, UF President Tim Stiglich, Bob and Karen Fawcett of Main View Inn, UF Executive Director Steve Johnson and Dan Naragon of Naragon and Purdy. Photo by David Fenker “We want to make sure that people know what the United Fund is all about, what we do and how we help the agencies that we help,” he said. “It’s to help get

the name out there and build up some relationships.” Officials also wanted to inform the businesses and industries about some good news UF recently received. “We also want to bring attention to a new opportunity for donors to leverage

their gifts for greater impact in Wabash County,” Executive director Steve Johnson said. “Through a $39,900 grant from the Indiana Association of United Ways and Funds, this year’s donors who did not give during last year’s campaign, or donors

who are willing to increase their giving over last year’s gift, will see their new donations matched dollar for dollar. “In addition, companies that offer payroll deduction can see the entire amount of their workplace campaign matched simply by increasing participation in their campaigns by 5 percent over last year’s level.” The matching grant is an excellent opportunity for United Fund to create additional meaningful programming in education, health and financial stability, Johnson said. “With 15 percent of the local population living at or below the federal poverty level, there continues to be a great deal of need in our communities and we hope we can provide some additional support,” he said. The schedule of stops was created to include current donor businesses, prospective donor businesses and other supporters of United Fund. “We wanted to include a variety of locations for today’s tour,” Stiglich said, “so we contacted some businesses in Wabash and in North

UF to help 20 agencies The 2016 Wabash County United Fund campaign has a $250,000 goal and seeks to help 20 local agencies. Agencies receiving support this year are: — 85 Hope — Access Youth Center — ARC of Wabash County — Blessings in a Backpack, Wabash — Blessings in a Backpack, North Manchester — Community Cupboard Food Pantry — Fellowship Food Pantry — Garber-Simmons Senior Center — Hands of Hope/Family Service Society — Manchester Early Learning Center — Mental Health America of Wabash County — Purdue Extension – Strengthening Early Literacy — Roann Community Building — Somerset Community Building — Urbana Community Building — Wabash FAME Festival — Wabash Area Ministerial Association Community Assistance Program — Wabash County Cancer Society — Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition — Wabash County Transit Manchester and started to put the trip together. It is a fun way for us to bond together as a board, as well as to reach out to some of our donor base and connect with them on a face to face basis.” Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service was among the businesses at which the group stopped. “It’s a great, energetic way to kick off the fund drive,” said Chad Maple, the firm’s secretary-treasurer. In addition to Stiglich and Fansher, other board members are Eric Lundmark, Emily Guenin-Hodson, Marilyn CusterMitchell, Jim Widner, Deanna Maller, Rick Rogers, Kyle Wieland, Adam Renbarger, and Jennifer Scott.

“This is a great group of people who volunteer their time to make Wabash County a better place for all of us,” Johnson said. “We couldn’t do what we do without these people. They attend board meetings, work on campaign, and attend other functions representing United Fund.” To volunteer or for more information about Wabash County United Fund. contact Johnson at 260-563-6726 or via email at steve.johnson@wcunitedfund.org.

No one speaks at EDG grant hearing By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

The Economic Development Group of Wabash County is one step closer to applying for part of a $250,000 grant. The Wabash County Commissioners had the second public hearing for the C o m m u n i t y Development Block Grant at their Oct. 3 meeting. “This is the public hearing we’re required to have prior to the submission of the full application,” Lori Shipman, of Lori Shipman Consulting, LLC, said.

The application is due in Indianapolis next Friday. Wabash County is the lead applicant for the grant, working in conjunction with Kosciusko and Huntington counties. No comments were received prior to the hearing, and none were made at it other than Keith Gillenwater, president and CEO of the EDG of Wabash County. “We’re in support of this. As I spoke of at the last public hearing we had, this is a big need in the county,” he said. Gillenwater reminded those pres-

ent that the county is applying for one third of the $250,000 grant, which will be used to supplement or provide industrial maintenance, CNC machine and welding training courses. “We’ve had a couple of companies that have already reached out to us based on the industrial maintenance class we did last year, asking us to try to put something together again this year. There’s definitely a need, and a want from our employers in the county, to have this,” he said. “It’s a good win for the community if we can get it.”

Gillenwater noted that EDG has partnerships with Ivy Tech and Heartland Career Center to be able to provide the training. “I think it’s a good opportunity for Wabash County and the surrounding counties,” said Commissioner Brian Haupert. In other news, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department will receive funding from a yet to be determined account for the reprogramming of their radios. “By the end of the year, we will have to switch over our radio. Basically, they’re redoing the whole sys-

tem in the state. It’s called 225. The maintenance agreement [for the current system] has run out, and they’re out of ID’s. They have parts available through 2017, but after that there is no contract left. The state has switched over to a new provider, therefore we have to have all of our radios, in car and portable, reprogrammed.” The department has 17 portable, 21 in-car and 6 reserve portable units.

NM youth earns 3 awards at Indiana State Fair By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

A North Manchester youth hopes to take another trophy this month at the American Rabbit Breeders Association National Convention after earning supreme honors at the 2016 Indiana State Fair in August. Jade Michel, a seventh grader at Manchester JuniorSenior High School, received Best In Show, Grand Champion Meat Pen and Champion Roaster awards at the state fair for her locallyraised rabbits. The 4-Her told The Paper of Wabash County it was a great win, both for her and the county. “It was exciting to win with rabbits I raised,” Jade said. “The rabbit barn superintendent said it was the first time an exhibitor had won all three of these awards in the same year. “Wabash County has a strong 4-H heritage. Anytime someone wins a championship at the State Fair, it’s a win for Wabash County.” Jade’s rabbit, Glory, took the Best In Show award, which meant it was this year’s top rabbit out of all breeding stock animals, both male and female. The local competitor admitted it was her favorite moment of the state competition. “It is the biggest honor with the most competition,” she said.

Photo provided Jade has raised rabbits for five years. “I just completed my fourth year of 4-H and have shown at the State Fair all four years,” she said. “I also show throughout the year at open shows, (though) these are not 4-H shows.” From Oct. 9-12, Jade will join three other teammates to represent Indiana at the national convention in Del Mar, Calif. “As a member of Team Indiana, I’ll compete against teams from the other states in contests such

as breed identification, disease symptoms and judging,” she explained. “Last year my team was the national winning judging team. … This will be my third year to represent Indiana

at the national level.” As for advice to her fellow contestants aiming for state fair championships, Jade

said she’d advise them to work at it throughout the year and know what to look for in a chosen breed.

WCS Board establishes Project Lead the Way launch program By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash City Schools Board approved the establishment of a Project Lead the Way launch program Monday night, Oct. 3. The program will allow students to learn more science,

technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses without waiting until their junior year of high school, O.J. Neighbours Principal Danielle Miller informed the board. The establishment of the program serves a two-fold purpose, according to Jason Callahan, WCS super-

intendent. The first is it offers interested youth earlier experiences with STEM topics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the challenges of career and technical education is thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a really good introductory curriculum, so often times it gets marginalized,â&#x20AC;? Callahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of

pushing the liberal arts and students who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t connect with that, we put them at Heartland Career Center their junior and senior year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our desire is hopefully we could fill that programming K-12 where they can at least be exposed to career and technical education. This is,

again, engineering, biomedical, computer science, all the pathways weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to build out of K-12 or K14 if you will.â&#x20AC;? The second purpose is to benefit the elementary schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers by returning some of their preparation time during school hours, according to Jason Callahan, WCS superintendent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple years ago in order to reduce spending, we cut a fifth rotation and basically what our faculty had to do is endure at least one day where they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any prep time,â&#x20AC;? he explained. That time will be returned to them once the program is implemented, Miller added. In other news, the Board discussed the elementary schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kids Hope program, which is in its fourth week of pairing youth with mentors.

Melanie Honeycutt, WCS food service director, also provided an update on districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cafeterias and summer food program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started this (summer food program) in 2009 with four different sites. â&#x20AC;Ś We are now up to 13 sites,â&#x20AC;? Honeycutt told the Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We served in June of 2009 5,190 meals. In this summer in June, we served 11,103.â&#x20AC;? Honeycutt also began a self-serve operation at O.J. N e i g h b o u r s Elementary, which has helped reduce food waste. Prior to the selfserve, Honeycuttâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff would go through 10 cases of tangerine chicken â&#x20AC;&#x153;every time we served this meal and we have never served over nine cases over the last couple of times weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve served it and

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because kids get what they want,â&#x20AC;? she explained. Another example Honeycutt provided was that before when the lunch staff served French fries, the crew would go through 60 bags. Now with the self-serve, her staff serves approximately 50 bags instead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should see these guys go through and get their food,â&#x20AC;? she continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great. â&#x20AC;Ś They absolutely love getting (in-line), getting what they want and ... instead of (lunch servers) piling it on, the kids are getting what they want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They still have to take what they have to take for the state, so they still have to take their vegetables and stuff, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a waste and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping me with my cost.â&#x20AC;?

Lagro Township approves 2017 budget By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com In a 2-0 vote on Thursday, Sept. 29, the Lagro Township Board approved the 2017 budget, but not without resilience. Board members Deb Schenkel and Rob Cole adopted the budget at $392,900 after it was trimmed of more than $43,000 from its original proposal of $436,300. Board member Lee Ann Pefley was absent from the meeting. However, before the vote, Lagro citizen and past Township Board member Ralph Ranck voiced his concerns about adopting

also explained to the Board that there are some discrepancies with what the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 tax rate was, stating that Gateway Indiana listed the rate at .2411 while he determined it should be listed as .2394. According to the Wabash County Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 tax rate is .2398. The increases in the budget included $35,000 in Capital Outlays in anticipation of purchasing the Lagro Fire Station and an additional $45,000 the Cumulative Fire Fighting fund for a bottle filling station, DeLong said.

the budget, which had increased more than $75,000 since 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time we pulled back on our budget a little bit and get in line with some of the areas around here as far as helping the taxpayers out,â&#x20AC;? Ranck said at the meeting. Ranck told the Board he was concerned that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax rate was .2398, which was reported by the Wabash County Treasurer. Township Trustee Andrew DeLong told Ranck the tax rate should decrease next year since the township is no longer paying back a previous loan. However, DeLong

October 12, 2016

Teen Moms share formal dining experience Article provided Teen Moms met on Monday, Oct. 3. The moms went to the Honeywell Center and learned about formal dining etiquette with a special meal and instructions given by Honeywell staff. After the meal, Teen Moms leader Jane Swanquist spoke about everyday manners. She expressed that good manners show respect for others and make them feel valued. Any moms interested in joining the group can do so by calling 260563-7275 or register at the LIFE Center. The group also met on Monday, Sept. 19, at the Wabash Alliance Church. The meal was pro-

vided by Joanne Manning from the LaFontaine Christian Church. Linda Mirante spoke to the moms about the challenges of being a mother. She emphasized viewing each child as unique and not making comparisons, being consistent with discipline, teaching manners, and remembering it’s the little things that make a positive difference in a child’s life. During the craft time Angie Burcroff taught the moms how to make unique beaded necklaces. Any moms interested in joining the group can do so by calling 260563-7275 or register at the LIFE Center.

place in which everyone can feel comfortable, relax and enjoy a fine local beer”. Mayor Scott Long added, “We are pleased that Chapman’s has chosen to locate in our great community. They will be renovating a highly visible building in downtown Wabash and creating a local gathering space that will perfectly complement the growth we are experiencing”. Chapman’s is proud of the support they provide to the local communities that they serve. “We believe in providing jobs for local Hoosiers, and we seek to create partnerships with our local communities,” Fergusson said. “We will staff our brewery with your own friends and family, and we look forward to supporting local musicians, artisans, restaurants, and charities.” The anticipated opening date for the Wabash location is Oct. 28, subject to local and state regulatory approval. To learn more about Chapman’s Brewing Company, visit www.chapmansbrewing.com or follow them on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. “We are thrilled that Chapman’s has

decided to make a new home in Wabash,” said Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, President and CEO of the EDG of Wabash County. “We heard

many comments from the community about the need for a microbrewery in Wabash, and coupling that with the explosive growth in the craft

beer and microbrewing industry and the tourism draw that comes with it we felt it presented a great opportunity for Wabash to bring a

new business to the community. We look forward to sharing a pint of Chapman’s with our friends and neighbors this fall.”

C h a p m a n ’ s Brewing Company will open a new brewery and taproom in downtown Wabash, officials from the company and the E c o n o m i c Development Group (EDG) of Wabash County recently announced. Chapman’s will open its new taproom at the current site of New’s Furniture, 233 Miami St. Wabash. New’s Furniture will close its physical showroom and transition sales to an online only format, and will lease the building to Chapman’s. “Wabash is a fantastic community with a downtown like no other,” said Scott Fergusson, founder of Chapman’s. “The history, the architecture is only exceeded by the attitude of growth and progress from everyone I’ve met. Wabash and Chapman’s are a perfect match.” The brewery and taproom will feature local unique beers brewed in the Wabash brewery location, along with the beers made at Chapman’s main craft brewery in Angola. It was founded in 2012 in Angola, and started production in October 2013. The Wabash location is its fourth taproom location, with other locations in Angola, Fort Wayne, and

Columbia City. Several Wabash natives have gotten behind bringing Chapman’s Brewing Company to Wabash. “As an avid home brewer and craft beer enthusiast, I have had an interest in starting my own or bringing a craft brewery to Wabash,” said Jim Reynolds, President of J. M. Reynolds Oil Company, Inc. in downtown Wabash. “When EDG approached me to meet with Scott and discuss a community partnership with Chapman’s Brewing, I was excited. “Chapman’s is a fast growing and dynamic company. They make quality beer and I knew Chapman’s would be a great addition to downtown Wabash. I am proud to partner with Scott and the Chapman’s team to open up a Wabash brewing location.” Jim Bain, another Wabash home brewing enthusiast and supporter said, “Jim Reynolds and I have had many conversations over the years about bringing a craft beer presence to Wabash. In the days before prohibition, almost every town had its own brewery and the local pub was more than just a place to drink. It was a gathering place for the community. We hope to bring a modern version of that to our downtown and make this tap room a

VIEWPOINT OUR VIEW

2nd District debate should be open to the public If one puts on a debate, and there’s no one from the public there to witness it, then why do it? That’s a question that’s been perplexing us since last week when it was announced local radio station WKUZ (95.9 FM) will host a debate between U.S. House 2nd District candidates Republican-incumbent Jackie Walorski and Democrat challenger Lynn Coleman on Nov. 1. The debate will be held at the radio station, and no one from the public will be allowed to attend. Likewise, no other media outlets will be able to attend. Coleman’s camp believes the debate

should be open to the public. A representative said it accepted the offer simply because the closed format was the only option given. Walorski’s campaign had declined to comment on the format. We, too believe that the debate should take place in an open format, made available to anyone who wants to attend. Debating in an open format can show a lot about a candidate, how he or she handles stressful situations, and how quickly they can think on their feet, to name just a few. Putting these candidates on the hot seat also allows the public to see their

Holding the line Dear Editor: Sunday afternoon, Oct. 2, in Wabash, some 20 women, children and men stood against a deadly enemy. When I served, the United States was wrapped up in Cold War with the USSR and with a threat of a nuclear holocaust. There was also a very hot war in Vietnam and some 58,000 men of my generation never came home alive. Because of war’s butchery, they had no wedding, no wife, no children and no grandchildren. Their only heritage was to have their name inscribed on a black granite wall in D.C. One thousand times that number died in another war. They have no wall, They have no monument. Some 58 million were slaughtered since 1973 when the highest court of this land decided that it was a good thing to butcher babies in the womb. People like Ulrich Klupper, who himself escaped the murdering tyrants in East Germany, took up medicine and began a lucrative career in his abortion clinics, butchering babies. Is that “B” word a bit too harsh? Too much “politically incorrect”? I am not ashamed to use it. It is in fact, very appropriate. People like Margaret Sanger, the Democrat Party, and Satan of hell are behind the murders. For 100 years, Planned Parenthood has planted its butcher shops right in the middle of its targeted populations: the Negro neighborhoods, the African American areas, and the neighborhoods of “racially inferior” blacks. Hmmm- Did I overstate that a bit? No! Not a bit. But I do

add that millions of white girls passed through the P.P. doors as well. They paid their “30 pieces of silver” and were relieved of their humanity. A hundred feet of Cass Street in Wabash was the battlefield today. Today, perhaps 10 cars per minute passed our location. If 600 vehicles passed us in one hour with two persons to each car, then some 1,200 people agreed or ignored or cursed the message we bore… Our message is that America’s unfair, unjust, murderous hate crime of abortion must end now. A good God cannot ignore the murder of innocent, precious human beings made in HIS very image and likeness. A good God cannot wink at 40 years of an American program that would make Hitler’s Auschwitz blush in envy. A good God cannot but judge a nation that kicks Him out of their affairs, and mocks life that He created. A good God cannot leave guiltless those who sell baby body parts like so much merchandise. And a good God must condemn a state university that dares to sue the states legislature for doing what is right! However, a good God can make a way for those who repent. He has mercy, grace and life available to the guilty who turn to Him. What is to become of America? The answer is in all of our hands and hearts… Gideon had 32,000 warriors to have his 300. Twenty women, children and men held the line of battle in Wabash today. Where were all the rest? — Alan Wojtkowiak, Urbana

Birthday wishes appreciated Dear Editor: I would like to thank everyone who was so kind to remember me with a card for my 90th birthday. I feel so blessed to have so many good friends. Your words of encouragement and kind thoughts

were so precious and appreciated. – Peggy Baker

true personalities, as well. The debate is still more than three weeks away. We strongly urge the two sides to get together, along with Wabash County Farm Bureau, which is sponsoring the event, and WKUZ, to find a place that is suitable to hold a debate, and open it up to the public. It’s not too much to ask of the candidates, in light of what they are asking of the voters, and that is to put their trust in faith in them and cast a vote for them on Election Day.

Conference playoff takes place Friday By Bill Barrows

Manchester girls win first soccer sectional By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

It went the distance, but in the end, the Manchester Squire girls’ soccer team celebrated the program’s first sectional title in an overtime shoot-out against Eastbrook. After 80 minutes of regulation and two seven-minute overtime periods, the Squires and Panthers remained scoreless, forcing a sudden-death shoot-out on penalty kicks. Manchester won the coin

flip and chose to shoot first. Lauren Metzger was first up for the Squires, but her shot went high. Eastbrook took a 1-0 lead on their first kick. Melissa Saucedo tied it up with a goal in the lower left corner, and the score remained 1-1 after Squire goal keeper Kiera Stacy stopped Eastbrook’s next attempt. Bethany Collett gave Manchester a 2-1 lead with a shot to the left side, and Eastbrook missed their third shot.

In the fourth round of shots, Carsyn Howard made it 3-1 with a goal to the lower left corner, but Eastbrook stayed close with a goal of their own. A goal in the fifth and final round by Manchester would clinch the sectional championship, and that’s exactly what Elizabeth Anguilm did with a shot to the right side for an insurmountable 4-2 lead, and the celebration was on. “This is great,” Manchester coach Jenn Birch said. “This is truly a

MHS runners advance By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

The Manchester cross country teams continue their strong seasons with the girls’ team finishing second at the Culver Academies Sectional, advancing to regional as a team, while the boys’ team turning in a sixth place finish, but have six runners advancing to regional. “I’m very pleased with how our girls’ team ran,” Manchester coach Jody Sarber said. “For the boys, we would have much rather advanced as a team, but we took six of the top individual spots, which is excellent.” Rae Bedke continued her dominance as she was the first to cross the finish line in the girls’ race with a time of 19:12.3, 42 seconds ahead of the second place finisher. “Rae ran a very smart race to win,” Sarber said.

The Squire girls were able to place second thanks to three top-10 finishes, with Tahnee Fuentes coming in ninth with a time of 20:38.4, and Jaelyn Webb finishing 10th in 20:40.0. Clara Burdette wasn’t too far behind, coming in 20th place with a time of 21:44, while Sydney Diefenbaugh was 27th in 22:25, Katie Barker was 31st in 22:57, and Maddy Evans was 42nd in 23:59. In the boys’ race, Manchester was sixth as a team, but six Squires will compete at regional this Saturday, all as individuals. Drew Jones was Manchester’s top runner with a 25th place finish in 18:29, while Ethan Davis was 33rd in 18:57, Hunter Miller was 34th in 19:17, Ben Reichenbach was 36th in 19:40, Montgomery Pattison was 38th in 20:01, Reece Adamiec was 39th in 20:01, and Wilson Nettleton was 42nd in 20:08.

great group of girls. They are determined, laid it on all on the field, and did everything we asked of them. I couldn’t be more proud of these kids.” Birch said the wind played a factor in the contest, even determining the opening kick. The win advances the Squires to the regional round of the state tournament, where they get home-field advantage, hosting Bellmont. “It’s pretty neat we get to host,” Birch said. “Bellmont is a pretty tough team.”

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “When it comes to life’s important lessons, we can all use gentle r e m i n d e r s . Quotations help us remember the simple yet profound truths that give life perspective and meaning. In sports, I remember this one: ‘you have to love winning and hate losing’. Yes, that is a good quote, but there is so much more. Perseverance, courage, love, forgiveness and faith are timeless themes. Just like in life and sports, when you lose your confidence everything else goes. I think believing in yourself has a lot to do with words. You are what you say you are, so keep a positive inner voice. Your children will be what you say they are, so always be positive and encouraging. Words are important and powerful, so think before speaking. Thus, if life throws you a curve ball, hit it!” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Local Relay for Life committee disbands By The Paper staff

The organization, Relay for Life of Wabash County is disbanding, officials announced late Wednesday morning, Oct. 5. “These last couple of years have been very difficult for our event,” Aaron Holley, Event Co-Chair and Team Development Chair, wrote in an email. “With more and more events occupying our summers, and despite us changing our Relay date to try to find the best fit for the community, participation has greatly declined. “Our core committee, which has been together for quite some time, is no longer able to continue. We know everyone’s time is precious and we simply haven’t had enough new interest needed to keep the committee intact. Those that have remained have struggled with the added workload. “In light of all these issues,” he continued, “I regret to inform you that the current Relay for Life of Wabash County is disbanding, effective immediately. This was a unanimous decision of the committee and we have met with representatives of the American Cancer Society to work to offer a solution that meets the go-forward needs of our community as best as possi-

ble.” There will still be a Relay for Life event in Wabash County, Holley said. “The former Relay for Life of North Manchester will now become the Relay for Life of Wabash County in North Manchester. I strongly encourage each of you that would like to continue the fight in Wabash County, to consider participating in North Manchester. They are welcoming us with open arms.” The North Manchester relay is scheduled for April 29, 2017, at the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools administration building. “This has been a very difficult decision for all of us on the Wabash commit-

tee, but I trust you will understand,” Holley said. “To all of you that have been a committee member, team captain, participant, survivor/caregiver, entertainer, sponsor, vendor and so much more at our event over the years, we appreciate all you have done for the fight against cancer. I pray that the fight continues.” Deanna Unger, a former board member and former member of the Crossroads Bank team, responded to Holley’s email by noting, “I totally understand your decision and although I hate to see it disband, we all know how hard you have worked to keep it going, especially this past year. We can be very proud of all our efforts over the

past 20 years.” Unger was involved with the Relay from its first year. “We have seen it

grow to a very successful event - we have also seen many teams come and go, and it’s just a fact that there are many

more events to occupy our time, plus a multitude of sports activities, etc.,” she wrote. “To the Committee - thank

you all for giving us our final relay in Wabash. I, too, would urge us to help Manchester in their Relay.”

20 MU mourns loss of former president, former trustee

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

By The Paper staff Officials at Manchester University are mourning the loss of two people with strong ties to the institution. Parker Marden, who

served as president of the then-Manchester College, passed away at the age of 77, and Ralph Naragon, who served as the business manager from 1961 to 1968 also passed away last week.

He was a trustee from 1997 to 2007. Marden led Manchester from 1994 to 2004. MU President Dave McFadden said Marden left the University a stronger place. “On Parker’s watch, Manchester increased diversity among students and faculty. He elevated our national profile and raised our international consciousness,” he said. “He led the institution through most of “The Next Step” comprehensive campaign, which strengthened the

endowment, made significant capital improvements to campus and expanded the donor base. “During a 31,000-mile national tour, Parker met with 10 percent of Manchester’s living alumni. He liked to tell them why he was proud of Manchester and that they should be too. No longer, he would say, should we hide Manchester’s light under a bushel. “Parker was a wonderful writer and communicator, who brought people together in common purpose. He was a

true believer in and articulate advocate for the value of a liberal arts education. Above all, he loved Manchester students and embraced his role as their champion. In turn, he was known to many students as ‘Papa Parker.’” A native of Worcester, Mass., Marden graduated from Bates College in Maine and went on to earn his master’s and Ph.D. from Brown University. He taught sociology at Cornell University, Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis., and St. Lawrence University. He came to Manchester from Beloit College, where he served as vice president for academic affairs and dean. McFadden called Naragon a pillar of the North Manchester community. “Over the years, Ralph lived the Manchester University tradition of making a difference, and it would be nearly impossible to name all of his contributions over the years,” he said. Naragon was a 1958 Manchester graduate in accounting and busi-

ness. He was a partner in Gilbert, Naragon, Terrill & Co., Inc., for years, with their office on Main Street in North Manchester. “Over the years, Ralph lived the Manchester University tradition of making a difference, and it would be nearly impossible to name all of his contributions over the years,” McFadden said. He gave back with volunteer service to Zion Lutheran Church, North Manchester Chamber of Commerce, North Manchester Main Street, local school board, town parks and recreation, the Wabash Hospital Foundation, the county economic development board, North Manchester

Community Service and the Community Foundation of Wabash County, the MU president continued. In the 1960s, he was Indiana Jaycees state president and U.S. Jaycees national president. “He also supported, and encouraged others to support, a number of worthy causes, which led to the community swimming pool and Town Life Center, just to name a few,” McFadden said. “He chaired the University corporate and foundation gift program for the Centennial Campaign and was a member of the Tower Society. Also, he was one of 12 individuals who bought and donated the 80-acre Koinonia nature retreat to Manchester in 1961.”

21 Local organizations benefit from Chili for Charity THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com More than 80 chililoving teams will converge on Paradise Spring Historical Park on Saturday, Oct. 15, for the 14th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook Off. Each year, the event draws thousands to downtown Wabash and, with a friendly competition to determine who’s chili is the best, it raises funds to donate back to the community. Since 2002, the annual event has raised and donated more than $430,000 to local charities and organizations that assist Wabash County and area residents in various ways. This year, 10 organizations, including the Family Services Society Hands of Hope, the LaFontaine Lions Club, the H o n e y w e l l F o u n d a t i o n Educational Outreach Program and the Wabash County Cancer Society, will benefit from the donations. Preventing domestic violence Hands of Hope, the Wabash County division of Family

Service Society Inc., offers area residents both intervention and prevention of domestic violence, sexual violence and stalking, according to Linda Wilk, director. Since 1994, the local organization has help families with services including a 24-hour crisis hotline and free, individual therapeutic counseling while Family Service Society Inc. has provided services in the area since 1919, Wilk told The Paper of Wabash County. October is both nationally and locally recognized as domestic violence awareness month after Mayor Scott Long made a proclamation earlier this month, she continued. “The Wabash Hands of Hope Victim’s Advocacy Program assisted 50

non-duplicated victims in 2015,” she said. “The monetary support from Chili for Charity will allow for Hands of Hope to provide critical marketing for the community about (the organization), which grants do not allow but yet are so important because victims are isolated and often times don’t know about services available for them.” The donation will also be used to meet the needs of victims as they arise, Wilk continued. Hands of Hope provides prevention presentations about teen dating violence in each of the Wabash County schools and also facilitates two weekly TADA (Teens Against Domestic Violence) youth councils at Wabash and Southwood high schools. Intervention services also include a 24hour on-scene crisis intervention offered by the organization’s victim’s advocate Heidi Vandermark. “In addition to onscene advocacy, Heidi Vandermark offers case management where she meets with a victim to determine what specific needs the victim might

Stay alert for deer on the roadway The Indiana Department of Transportation, the Indiana State Police and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources remind drivers to stay alert as deer become more active in fall months on Indiana’s roadways. Nearly 50 percent of all vehicle crashes involving deer occur between October and December. Deer are generally more active during mating season in late October into early November. And with many farmers harvesting crops, deer could be on the move at any time, encountering roads more frequently and increasing the potential for collisions. Across the state in 2015, there were more than 15,000 deer-related collisions, includ-

ing vehicles crashing attempting to avoid striking a deer. With the increased number of deer heading toward the roadways, deer-vehicle crashes will happen, but drivers can take measures to keep collisions to a minimum. Knowing when deer are most active and practicing defensive driving will help reduce your chances of becoming a statistic: Deer are most active between sunset and sunrise, especially in rural areas. Deer often travel in groups. If you see one, others are likely nearby. Stay alert! Pay special attention in areas where you have seen deer before and in areas near “Deer Crossing” warning signs. Exercise caution along woodlot edges, at hills and blind turns.

Use high-beam headlights at night when there is no opposing traffic. Scan for illuminated eyes and dark silhouettes near the side of or on the roadway. If you see a deer, slow your speed drastically, even if the deer is far away. Never swerve to avoid hitting a deer. More serious crashes occur when drivers try to miss a deer but hit something else. Buckle up! Studies have shown that novelties like deer whistles are ineffective in deterring deer. The best way to avoid an accident is to be alert. Even when practicing safe driving, sometimes hitting a deer is inevitable. If a driver hits a deer, it is important to remain calm and do not touch the deer or approach it. Wounded deer are unpredictable and

Local organizations benefit from Chili for Charity ...continued from page 21 have,” Wilk said, “including filing for a protective order, going to court with the victim for the hearing, linking the victim to community services, and assisting the victim to better understand the criminal justice process and the victim’s options. “The Flannery-Keal Home is also available to both male and female victims and their children for up to 45 days.” The home offers 24hour crisis staff, case management, support groups and counseling on Tuesdays, she continued. For more information on the Flannery-Keal Home, call 765-644-0701. The individual, free counseling sessions take place Wednesdays at the Hands of Hope office, located at 101 S. Washington St. in Marion. To reach the crisis hotline, call 260-5634407.

Paying it forward The LaFontaine Lions Club will be receiving a portion of this year’s Chili for Charity funds, but will be paying it forward to assist another community project. This year, the Lions will be using the funds to assist with the LaFontaine Town Park Project, according to Kara Fulmer, park project committee member. “LaFontaine Lions Club serves approximately 2,000 people yearly,” Fulmer told The Paper. “The Lions Club has been collaborating with the 20152016 Wabash County Chamber Leadership Development Class and the Town of LaFontaine to raise funds to renovate the town’s only park. The LaFontaine Park Committee was formed in 2015 to oversee this project. “These (Chili for Charity) funds will help with the renovation of the LaFontaine Town Park. With this monetary support, we hope to be able to purchase some small pieces of playground equipment to add to the park.” Founded in 1939, the local club is part of Lions Club International and provides various services in the local community including vision screening and providing dictionaries for third graders along

with supporting Lions state projects (like) Leader Dog for the Blind, the fight against cancer and all other ways to prevent blindness, according to Fulmer. So far, the project committee has raised almost $20,000, but “we still need to raise additional funds to accomplish our goal to provide a safe park for the Town of LaFontaine,” according to Fulmer. “We have relocated the donated equipment from MSD (of Wabash County) School Corporation to the LaFontaine Town Park,” she continued. “However, just relocating the few pieces of equipment cost more than $10,000. We still plan to purchase smaller pieces of equipment that are conducive to younger children and possibly children with special needs, add ground coverings under the equipment to ensure safety, add additional seating and trash receptacles, landscaping and possibly a shelter. “We are exploring all funding avenues at this time, including applying for grants. We are thrilled that the 2016 Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity recognized the need for this project and the need for the Town of LaFontaine to renovate their one and only park.” To contribute to the project, contact Idris Kuhn at 260-571-0886. Investing in local youth The Honeywell F o u n d a t i o n Educational Outreach Program (EOP) provides art-based educational experiences in a 12-county service region, according to Teresa Galley, Educational Outreach manager. The program provides youth opportunities to explore music, theater, visual arts and creative writing, Galley told The Paper. “Launched in 1998, the EOP has educated and enriched youth through arts utilizing artist residency programs and bus-in convocations, growing from two counties and 500 students in its first year to serving 12 counties and providing approximately 49,000 arts opportunities in its 17th year,”

she said. “With a ‘nobarrier to entry’ policy, all students (prekindergarten to 12th grade) are served regardless of their economic status or those who have special needs.” The cook-off ’s donation will help continue the program’s service to provide art opportunities to Wabash Counties schools as well as schools located in the northern Indiana region, according to Galley. “The students served by the H o n e y w e l l F o u n d a t i o n Educational Outreach Program are from a wide array of backgrounds with one common bond: they are living in a rural portion of north central Indiana,” she continued. “Already living in small communities that lack the cultural and arts education opportunities of their counterparts, most of the students involved in our EO program are from

school districts with fewer than 2,000 total students that are facing declining enrollment, which leads to diminishing programs. “Despite countless studies showing that the arts increase overall academic engagement and success, arts-related programs are being cut, putting area students at a disadvantage. … The overall goal of the EOP in its entirety is to ensure that the arts are part of the educational equation in our schools. “The Honeywell Foundation appreciates the continued support of our program by the Chili for Charity board.” Wabash County Cancer Society The Wabash County Cancer Society is a non-for-profit organization that strives to provide monetary support to county residents that suffer from cancer, according to Theresa Sites, the organization’s presi-

dent and treasurer. “It’s all volunteer based,” Sites told The Paper. “We don’t take the money away from the cancer patients. It stays right in the Society.” Started in 1959, the organization assists approximately 35 cancer patients per year. The organization,

which is based in North Manchester, reimburses local cancer patients for their mileage and medication costs as well as offers free healthcare equipment, such as beds and clothes, for the patients to use, Sites said. The cook-off ’s funds will be used to contin-

ue the organization’s reimbursement services, according to Sites. “If anybody in Wabash County knows any person that has cancer, please contact us,” Sites said. To learn more about the Wabash County Cancer Society, call 260-982-8418.

THE PAPER 30 Beacon Credit Union donates $42,000 to Riley Children’s Foundation www.thepaperofwabash.com

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabaash.com

Beacon Credit Union donated more than $42,000 to the Riley Children’s Foundation after the company’s 19 branches completed their year-long fundraiser for the health organization. On Thursday, Oct. 6, the company’s CEO Kevin Willour presented Alane Helmer,

the foundation’s corporate partnerships manager, with a check for $42,386.89. Riley Hospital opened in 1924 as Indiana’s first hospital exclusively for children and is home to the state’s largest pediatric research program, according to a press release. Helmer was all smiles upon receiving the check and said she was excited to learn just how much

October 12, 2016

Beacon was donating this year. “The funds will go toward the greatest needs of the hospital,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “Those needs include child programming, research and family life support services.” Beacon employees and members raised donations for the cause through canvas events, local restaurant tip nights, school

penny wars, raffles and bake sales, according to the press release. “Riley Hospital is a place you wish didn’t need to exist,” Aschleman said. “However, because illness strikes even the young, we are so blessed to have a facility of this caliber serving the needs of Hoosier children. “Beacon Credit Union would like to thank our fantastic

Local Habitat for Humanity hosts first Women Build By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Seven women picked up hammers and nails Saturday, Oct. 1, for Wabash County Habitat for Humanity during the local chapter’s first Women Build. The women, whose ages ranged from 18 to 85, helped construct interior walls at the

organization’s North Manchester build project, located at 516 W. 4th St. “So far, what we’ve got from the community is, ‘When is the next one?’” Dottie Cole, local Habitat secretary, said. “I am assuming that the women from Wabash County are excited about participating in another one.” More than 30

nations participate in Women Build projects, which has equated to more than 2,200 homes and more than 40,000 volunteer hours annually, according to Cole. “This is the reason (the local Habitat chapter) is excited about doing a Women Build in Wabash County,” she continued, “because there is more to women than

making cupcakes and doing fundraisers. We really can reach out to community and help build it and make it a better place.” One of the most special parts about the day, however, was that the women were helping to build a new home for a single father, according to

Maggie Wimberly, local Habitat executive director. “I think the biggest takeaway that we had from Saturday was not so much who we were building for, but why we were building the home and why women were participating,” Cole added.

Hope Brown and Keith McWithey successfully completed Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) instructor training to become certified as MHFA instructors. Brown who is now certified for teaching Adult MHFA courses, received her training in Indianapolis in September of this year. McWithey attended training in Chicago in August and is now certified to teach Youth MHFA courses. “I feel honored to have had this opportunity to become a certified instructor for a program that is evidence-based and approved by the National Council for Behavioral Health,” McWithey said. “I have worked in the mental health field for 38 years and almost exclusively with youth for 17 years. I realize the necessity for teachers and all who work and interact with youth to be educated on the mental health issues and how to recognize and handle those issues calmly and with confidence.” Brown said, “I am grateful to have received the training that was both extensive and excellent. The impact of Mental Health First Aid

courses across America has been tremendously positive. To help bring this education to the people in our county is just one more way I hope to help reduce the stigma and fear surrounding mental illness as well as to teach how to provide initial help to someone who may be experiencing symptoms of a mental health illness or is a crisis.” states Brown. Brown, Director of Wabash Friends Counseling Center and McWithey, counselor for Metro North and Sharp Creek schools, serve on the board of Mental Health America of Wabash County. Brown is the current president and McWithey served as president for 8 years. Mental Health America of Wabash County sponsored the training through a grant received by Parkview Wabash Hospital that covered the training fees. Brown and McWithey are now able to teach Mental Health First Aid courses in the county. ‘This is a milestone for achieving our goal to provide six Mental Health First Aid courses in the county within the next year,” said Karen Newhouse, Director of Mental Health America.

heart attack, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person experiencing a mental health crisis. One in five Americans experiences a mental illness each year, but many are reluctant to seek help or simply don’t know where to turn for care. Unlike physical conditions, symptoms of mental health and substance use problems can be difficult to detect and it can be difficult for friends and family members to know when and how to step in. As a result, those in need of mental health services often do not get them until it is too late. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5step action plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support. In just eight years, Mental Health First Aid has become a fullblown movement in the United States – more than 700,000 people are certified Mental Health First Aiders and that number is growing every day. The first ever Youth Mental Health First Aid course is being held in Wabash County on Friday, Oct. 14 from 8 to 4:30 pm at the Wabash City School Administration Office. The course will teach how to recognize when an adolescent is suffering from a mental health or substance abuse disorder and to encourage effective intervention. For more information or to register, contact Mental Health America of Wabash County at 260-563-4872 or mhawabashco@gmail. com.

Farm Bureau donates funds to FFA campaign By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Far m Bureau Inc. and Indiana Far m Bureau Insurance donated $25,000 to the Indiana FFA Foundation. This is a

match for donations to the Pay It Forward campaign to retire the original loan on the Indiana FFA Leadership Center and continue to build the Give Hope Annuity which is the fund created to

help with future capital projects of the Indiana FFA Leadership Center, located in Trafalgar. “Few organizations can compare to FFA when it comes to preparing future leaders for our indus-

try,” said Randy Kron, who serves as president of Indiana Farm Bureau Inc. and Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance. “We’re honored to support the place where Indiana’s FFA members learn and are inspired to grow.”

Since the first camp was held in 1974, an estimated 100,000 FFA members have taken advantage of the unique FFA Leadership Center. On that hallowed ground, generations of leaders have been shaped and inspired.

For over 40 years Indiana FFA members have been blessed to inherit such a remarkable place to call home. In the past five years the Leadership Center has been in a place of growth and stability. With the In-

diana FFA Foundation investing close to $500,000 in facility capital projects and improvements, the Indiana FFA Leadership Center is excited about their future and what it can offer youth across Indiana.

Girls State delegate speaks at Laketon Auxiliary Meeting Article provided The Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit No.402 members, during the September meeting, hear a report of the 75th anniversary session of Hoosier Girls State by delegate Abby Niebauer. She told of being elected Leighty City Judge and county vice-chair, giving her the experience of serving as delegate to the state party convention and firsthand workings of swapping votes with other counties to elect party candidates for state offices. She was appreciative to the Auxiliary for the opportunity to attend the “inspirational, educational and life-changing” American Legion Auxiliary Girls State which certainly had an effect on developing her leadership skills and confidence. Girls State chair Rolissa Underwood gave some highlights of the special events for the anniversary year and the dinner attended by many former Girls State delegates from around the state. Underwood served on the staff as director of social activities during the weeklong event for approximately 525 girls completing their high school junior year. Legislative chair Mary Rohrer gave an update report of the appeals decision by Congress on the concerns of VA Care. Past Presidents chair Julia Alderfer reported the past presidents will be attending three bazaars in October and November with Rada cutlery and more. Also, they will prepare meals for the Nov. 8 election to take to the Pleasant Township poll workers. Fiancé chair

Miriam Linkenhoker announced fundraisers on Sept. 24 at the farmer’s market and Oct. 1 at Harvest Fest. Thelma Butler, VA&R chair, gave a list of items needed to prepare for greenhouse opening in the spring at the Marion V.A. Items being collected are large bags of potting soil, flower seeds and plant food. Other items she will be collecting are medium and large boxers, large and 2X sweatshirts and bread mixes for bread machines. The greenhouse is a good source of rehab for many of the vets, she said. A $25 gas card was sent to a local veteran who is beginning cancer treatments. Refreshments were provided by Miriam Linkenhoker and Julia Alderfer. The next meeting is Oct. 4.

Elemenary school experiment:

Hanaway. North Miami will be competing in the Area Contest on Oct. 6, where the top six teams in all divisions will advance to the state competition.

The Southwood Elementary School 4th grade students have been working on building egg drop protectors while studying the scientific method and inventors. The students had to construct a protector for their egg that would survive from heights of 6 feet, 9 feet, 20 feet and finally 60 feet.. Duke Energy of Wabash supplied a bucket truck and linesmen to go up and drop the protectors. Of the 57 students 27 made it through all 4 rounds of the contest without their eggs breaking.
