Heartland unveils new machine

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski, the U.S. Representative for Indiana’s 2nd congressional district joined Wabash County on Monday, Nov. 11 for the Veteran’s Day Program at the Wabash County Courthouse. Before the program began, Walorski, R-2nd District, spoke with The Paper of Wabash County about her thoughts on the President Donald Trump’s pending impeachment hearings. “This is a gigantic sham. It’s a waste of money for the tax payers,” she said. The House’s impeachment inquiry of Trump will be going public this week with two days of hearings. “When they come up empty handed in January, what are they going to do then?” she asked. “They tried the Mueller report, nothing. They’re trying impeachment, nothing. What are they going to do in January? This is a group of people that don’t like the president. Elections have consequences and they are trying to move him out of office.”

Officials with the Heartland Career Center unveiled a stateof-the-art piece of equipment for its Precision Machining program. On Tuesday, Nov. 5, donors of a new, $107,000 Wire EDM machine gathered at the center for brunch and to see what their investment has been used for. The machine uses a very thin wire and electricity to cut parts to a precise measure. Supervisor of Student Services Pete Dupont told The Paper of Wabash County how the idea of getting this machine came to be. “A local employer was walking through the building and asked, ‘If you could get something, what would you like?’ and that was the idea we had, was the Wire EDM.” The donors that made this idea a reality were the 80/20 Foundation Trust, The Community Foundation of Wabash County, and the Pauline Barker Foundation. Precision Machining instructor Joe Halverson spoke about the importance of having this machine available to students participating in the program. “This machine is what would be considered an additive machine in manufacturing,” Halverson told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s a set up and walk away machine. It will run unattended for hours on end, perhaps days and it is a very low-cost machine to operate.” “As far as we know there are maybe two other programs in the state of Indiana that have this machine, so it’s really good for our students to know this machine and already have the experience with it.” Julie Garber, Community Foundation Program Director, discussed how the organization got involved with the purchase of this machine.

hall to be seated for a complimentary meal consisting of salad, meatloaf, green beans, mashed potatoes, and a cherry dessert. The stage in the room was covered with quilts, handmade by the Quilt of Honor quilters to hand out to veterans. Veterans that have already received a quilt in the past received a travel mug decorated with the American flag. Before lunch was served, Bachelor Creek pastor, Solomon David prayed. Before doing so though, he pointed out the hard work of the quilters. “I know these ladies do not do this for one shred of recognition, but I think it is important that we do recog-

nize the time they have put into this event,” he said, followed by applause from all of the guests. The ladies in this group volunteer their time and skills to make quilts for veterans, plan the event, and serve the food and pass out the gifts on the day of the luncheon. After the meal, each veteran in attendance was called to the front and handed either a quilt or a mug, thanked by one of the quilters for their service, and applauded for before returning to their seat. The veterans honored at this luncheon were: Gene Ramsbey, William Bowling, Dave Emrick, Mike Kerr, Joe Petro, Larry Wright, Joseph Bakehorn, Fred Reed, John Boyer, Mike Faust, Douglas Konkle, Ron Pressler, Phillip Woodward, Frank Bever, Jim Ribley, Robert Brinson, John Grayson, Royce Kreider, James Pritchard, Dortha

Wabash County SWCD to sponsor contest Officials from the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Stewardship and Education Committee have announced the 2020 Poster Contest and Stewardship Week theme: “Where would we BEE without pollinators?” Pollinators are

essential for people to thrive and prosper by pollinating more than 1,200 crops. That means that one out of every three bites of food you eat depends upon pollinators. This poster contest is a great way for kids to learn more about pollinators and spread awareness of the topic. The fifth-grade winner selected from 2019 was Hadley West. Her poster received public recognition at the

SWCD 74th Annual Meeting, on March 13. West collected a monetary prize along with a class ice cream party, all sponsored by Wabash County SWCD. The 2020 posters will be collected by Feb. 1, 2020 and judged at the Wabash County SWCD February board meeting. The posters are ranked, based on conservation message, visual effectiveness, originality, and universal

appeal. The poster size must be 14 inches x 22 inches and any type of media may be used. Rules, entry forms and other resources for the 2020 Poster Contest will be available in the Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District office, located at 599 Bryan Avenue Wabash and at wabashswcd.org. Call our office with any questions at 260563-7486, Ext. 3.

GOP wins contested races in NM, Wabash

*These adoptions made possible by donations, including Bickford Assisted Living

PETS OF THE WEEK PETS

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Republicans John Burnsworth and Bryan Dillon were elected Tuesday, Nov. 5, to fill the two Wabash City Council at-large seats. The two received the highest number of votes in the three-candidate field. B u r n swo r t h received 496 votes, while Dillon received 401 votes and Democrat Dan Townsend received 261 votes. The City Council atlarge race was the only contested race in the city in the 2019 Municipal General Election, and one of just three contested races in all of Wabash County. In the other contested races, Laura Rager defeated Kevin Shambarger, 312-172, in the North Manchester Town Council District 1 race. Meanwhile, Tom Dale defeated Michael J. Larson, 330-150, in the NM Town Council District 3 race. Rager and Dale are Republicans, while Larson and Shambarger ran as Independents. “I want to see the city continue going in the direction it’s going,” Burnsworth said of his first time seeking political office. “I’ll watch spending. That’s my plan. “I appreciate the voters having faith in me.”

1st District and Adams represents the 5th District. Mayor Scott Long and City Court Judge Tim Roberts, both Republicans, and Clerk-Treasurer Wendy Frazier, a Democrat, were all unopposed in the Primary and General elections. In North Manchester, the election of Rager and Dale ensures the makeup of the current Town Council will remain the same. Republican incumbents and Chalmer “Toby” Tobias III and James “Jim” Smith and Democrat Allen Miracle were all unopposed in the General Election. Smith represents the Council’s 2nd

District while Miracle represents the 4th District and Tobias represents the 5th District. C l e rk - T r e a s u r e r Carrie Mugford, a Republican incumbent, was unopposed. There was no voting in LaFontaine, Lagro and Roann because there were no contested races in those communities. In the General Election, 1,247 of the 10,4821 registered voters cast ballots. That is 11.9 percent of the total voters who went to the polls. The 2020 election is likely to draw many more people. In that race, local, state and federal posts, along with local school board races will be decided.

Honeywell House sets open house

WMI board honors outgoing executive director By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Steve Downs, outgoing executive director of Wabash Marketplace Inc., received the first-ever Legacy Award named after him on Thursday night, Nov. 7, during the group’s annual meeting. Members and WMI officials gathered at Wabash Woolen Works for the annual event, which also saw four new members joining the board of directors and four others leaving. A fifth board member also was reappointed. “I appreciate all the kind words,” Downs said after accepting the Stephen H. Downs Legacy Awards. “I’ve had a lot of fun. It’s been a great time.

For more photos, see Page 12B This is a good organization that does good work. It really does good work. “I greatly appreciate the opportunity you gave me to work with you all and to lead the organization for a short period of time. I’m sure Andrea (Zwiebel, new executive director) and her staff will do a wonderful job. The organization is in great hands.

I couldn’t do it without the support of the board, the community and the mayor, who has been a great, great supporter of Wabash Marketplace. “You know, you run into people … who say I’m sure I’m going to renew because I’m not sure I’m getting a good return out of Wabash Marketplace. In organizations like this, you don’t necessarily put $200 in, you can’t necessarily say you’re going to get $200 out. What you’re doing is you’re investing in community. We’re improving the buildings. We’re improving the quality of life. You’re helping your fellow business owners, your fellow business people, and your community in general.” The downtown lifts the heart of the community, Downs said. “When people come to town from out of town, and they want to see what’s going on in your community,

Downs Legacy Award. Photo by Joseph Slacian and what your community is like, I’ve never had any prospect come in and say, ‘Take me to your Walmart,’” he continued. “They say, ‘What’s your downtown like?’ If you’re downtown is not vital, If your downtown is not lively, it says a lot about your community.” Zwiebel discussed some of the highlights of the past year downtown, including 14 new businesses opening. In addition, WMI membership continued to increase, adding 11 new members to reach 172 members.

WMI is also one of the top Main Street organizations in Indiana, she noted. There are 133 Main Street organizations in Indiana, of which 30 (including Wabash) have paid staff. Of those with paid staff, 18 (again, including Wabash) are nationally accredited. Outgoing WMI Board President Dylan Reynolds, who presented Downs with his award, also presented awards to the four outgoing board members. They are Lisa Gilman, Clint Kugler, Mary Hettmansperger and Kristy Church.

He also introduced incoming board members Doug Adams, Jan Roland, Nick Hentgen and Amanda Lopez and Nate Fansher. The membership also elected Fansher as president, Matt Jasen as vice president, Jordan Tandy as secretary and Reynolds as treasurer. “We’re all continually amazed by the progress we’re seeing downtown,” Reynolds said during his remarks. “I don’t know how many people I see … are blown away by Wabash. They haven’t been here before and just can’t believe this cute, little downtown we have. “It’s such a great thing we have going on.”

The Honeywell House will host its annual Holiday Open House on Sunday, Nov. 24, from 1-3 p.m. The Wabash Unit of the I n d i a n a p o l i s Symphony Orchestra Association sponsors this event. Guests are invited to tour the house to see the festive holiday decorations in each room and enjoy a treat from the dining table. Beginning at 1:30 p.m., students of the Southwood choir will perform a medley of holiday favorites under the direction of Susan Keefer, with piano accompaniment provided by Gail Vaughn. Eileen Dye and Carolyn Eppley will provide piano music before and after the choir performance. Docents will be on hand to talk about the many treasures that fill the house. The Honeywell House, located at 720 N Wabash Street in Wabash, is free and open to the public.

“Some of our grant making we do just by application, but half of our grant making, we do strategically, that is we go out and look for the projects that we think will help to grow Wabash County, which is what happened here,” she said. “Those strategic grants that we think will grow Wabash County have been focused on education largely. Either on early childhood or workforce development, trying to help people who are in the workforce or who are just coming into the workforce to have skills for 21st Century jobs.” Officials from the 80/20 Foundation Trust were also there on Tuesday, including founder and board chair John Wood. “The 80/20 Foundation Trust was pleased to provide part of the

funding needed for Heartland Career Center to purchase the EDM wire machine for their students,” he said. “Our foundation values nonprofit educational partners that are matriculating students in the areas of expertise that ultimately bolster manufacturing and new enterprise in Northeast Indiana.” Officials from Heartland Career Center expressed gratitude towards the donors. “These organizations don’t just talk about how to help us, but they actually support dollars towards us,” Heartland Director Mark Hobbs said. “These partners have been highly instrumental in helping us get done what we are trying to get done and move in the right directions.”

Norse come up short in sectional final By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

A week after defeating third-ranked and archrival Southwood, the Northfield Norse football team was tasked with a matchup against fourth-ranked Adams Central in the sectional championship game Friday night, Nov. 8. The unranked Norse held its own down to the final minute but saw its season end 38-28. Adams Central got on the board first with a 59-yard drive over nine plays that resulted in a five-yard touchdown run from quarterback Dallas Schwaller with 7:35 left in the first quarter. Northfield responded on its next drive. Starting on their own 41-yard line, Alex Haupert started the drive with a 21-yard run. Four plays later, Seth Fortsyth caught a Levi Fulkerson pass for 13 yards, followed by a 17-yard run from Graydon Holmes to put the ball on the Flying Jets five-yard line. Two plays later, Fulkerson plunged into the end zone from one yard out, tying things up at 7-7 with 4:13 left in the first quarter. Adams Central was forced to punt on its next drive that was blocked and eventually recovered by Forsyth on the Flying Jets 40-yard line. Runs of 18 and 10 yards by Holmes and another for 11 yards

Adam Central’s Dallas Schwaller attempts to bring down Northfield’s Alan Haupert. by Jarret Shafer allowed Fulkerson to score from two-yards out on another rushing touchdown for a 14-7 Northfield lead with 8.6 seconds left in the first quarter. Adams Central tied it up with a 64-yard drive that ended with a six-yard pass play from Schwaller to Nick Nuenschwander with 8:34 left in the first half. The Flying Jets took a 21-14 lead with 4:11 left in the half on another touchdown pass from Schwaller, this time to Ben Voirol. After Northfield fumbled on its next drive, Adams Central converted a 21-yard field goal in the final minute of the second quarter, taking a 24-14 lead at halftime. Northfield cut the lead to 24-21 on a short drive of 23 yards ending on a seven-yard touchdown from Clayton Tomlinson

with 3:03 left in the third quarter. Adams Central took a 31-21 lead into the fourth quarter with 11.1 seconds left in the third, but the Norse weren’t done. Fulkerson scored his third rushing touchdown of the game from four yards out with 9:19 left in the game to cut the lead to 31-28. Adams Central ran

the clock on its next drive using up nearly six minutes on 11 plays to the 12-yard line. On the 11th play Northfield’s Jaydan Goshert picked off a pass to give Northfield new life. That new life didn’t last long, however, as Schwaller made an impact on the defensive side of the ball with an interception

two plays later. Adams Central made it a 38-28 score with 43 seconds left on a 15-yard touchdown from Blake Hayerly. Northfield got into position for a couple of Hail Mary plays, but couldn’t convert, allowing Adams Central to claim the sectional title. Fulkerson passed for 88 yards going 8-13 in the air with two interceptions. Holmes led Northfield on the ground with 91 yards on nine carries, followed by Fulkerson with 36 yards on 11 carries, Haupert with 33 yards on three carries, Shafer with 30 yards on seven carries and Tomlinson with one seven-yard rush. After an 0-4 start, Northfield won seven straight games before Friday night’s loss to finish the season with 7-5 record.

The Southwood Knights kicked off its season with a 52-40 win over Blackford Wednesday, Nov. 6. The Knights took control of the game early outscoring Blackford 17-2 in the first quarter. Blackford cut the lead to 29-21 at halftime never got closer in the second half.

The Indiana State Police is again partnering with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2020 to promote the National Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25 as National Missing Children’s Day. This day is dedicated to encouraging parents, guardians, caregivers and all concerned individuals with the wellbeing of children to make child safety a priority. It serves as a reminder to continue our efforts to reunite missing children with their families and loved ones. It also serves as an occasion to honor those who are dedicated to this very noble cause. The National Missing Children’s Poster Contest provides an opportunity for schools, law enforcement, and parents/guardians to discuss and promote child safety. The state winner will receive a national award certificate from the U.S. Department of Justice and their poster will be selected to go to the national judging competition. The national winner, along with his/her parents and teacher, and the state manager will be invited to Washington, D.C. to

participate in the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Missing Children’s Day ceremony. Some important facts about the contest: There is no limit on the number of posters a school can submit. Only one (1) poster per student is allowed for submission. Students who submit posters MUST be in the 5th grade. Artwork should reflect the theme “Bringing Our Missing Children Home.” This phrase MUST appear somewhere on the poster. The theme may be depicted in the artwork through one or a combination of illustrations and can be created using media such as acrylics, watercolor, pencils, charcoal, magic markers, spray paint, crayons and pastels. Digitally produced images, collages, cutouts and stamping WILL NOT be eligible for consideration. The finished poster MUST measure 8 ½ X 14 inches. The poster must be submitted with a completed application, which includes a description of the poster and a brief biography of the artist. All poster contest rules can be found at https://ncjtc-stat-

ic.fvtc.edu/Resources /RS00005796.pdf Deadline for submissions from participating organizations to be received by state manager Torie Harris is Feb. 7, 2020.

LaFontaine

During the decade following 1840 a group of pioneers (German immigrants) from Tuscarawas County, Ohio, followed the Wabash-Erie Canal to Wabash County. They settled seven miles north of Wabash, and began homesteading around the area which later became the village of Urbana. They built a log church and eventually became the members of St. Peters United Church of Christ. The congregation split into two separate churches in 1870s. The group that pulled away became Grace United Methodist Church. They soon rejoined into one congregation in 1967 thus became the Urbana Yoke Parish Church. This church is one in about 10 in Indiana. Being in a small

I believe and from my experience you get a larger percentage of participation in a smaller parish than you get in a larger one. This year the Urbana Yoke Parish congregation decided to have the St. Peters

Church removed because of the expenses it would have taken to remodel and update. There are only empty lots where for decades the proud church once stood. I’m sure the church will be missed but not forgotten. Urbana Reunion: The 2020 Urbana High School Reunion will be held on June 27, 2020. If you are an Urbana school graduate or attended the Urbana school and would like to come to the reunion, please contact one of the Reunion Committee members, Those on the committee are: Wanda Frehse, Connie Mattern, Shirley Anderson and Karen Wilson.

this year are themed to local history and one very special Christmas movie. “Cheryl and Susie continue to bring a new take on Christmas at the museum and we are excited to have guests enjoy their design and explore our local history,” said Mitch Figert, President and CEO of the Museum. “Each tree, wreath, and piece of décor is beautifully decorated for the holidays but

also hold many hidden surprises for guests to explore.” These decorations will be unveiled during their Christmas Open House on Friday, Nov. 15, as the official kick-off to the holiday season. The public is invited to participate in the free event which will include holiday crafts and special treats for children, all taking place during Downtown Holiday Night to Remember.

“ D o w n t o w n Holiday Night to Remember is a perfect opportunity for the museum to showcase its new Christmas decorations and get the community engaged in what the museum is doing this holiday season,” said Shelby McLaughlin, Museum Associate Director. Beyond Downtown Holiday Night to Remember, there will be plenty of opportunities for the public to come and enjoy the Museum decor. Christmas at the Museum will run t h r o u g h o u t November and December and guests will be able to stroll the museum and enjoy the decorations while also interacting with the museum’s more than 90 exhibits. All of the decorations, programming, and marketing during Christmas at the

Family Fun Night will take place on Dec. 6 with a visit from Santa Claus. On Dec. 11, the museum will be hosting Christmas at the Museum Annual Banquet.

Fig ‘n’ Feta Bruschetta

Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 20 minutes; Total Time: 30 minutes. Yield: Approximately 20 servings. NOTE: Fig spread can be prepared in advance and stored in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before using. 1 cup Mission figs (about 8 ounces) 1/3 cup sugar 1 orange, divided use 1/3 cup coarsely chopped orange sections 1/3 cup fresh orange juice (about 1 orange) 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 40 (1/2-inch-thick) slices French bread baguette, toasted (about 8 ounces) 1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) crumbled Feta or goat cheese 5 teaspoons finely chopped walnuts Chop figs into small pieces and place in a small saucepan. Sprinkle with sugar then, using a zester, grate/zest 1 teaspoon or orange rind over pan. After zesting, cut orange in half. Juice one half of the orange and pour juice into pan. Peel other half of orange and coarsely chop then scrape into pan, with any free juices. Sprinkle in rosemary and pepper then place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring and mashing ingredients with a wooden spoon on occasion, until figs are tender. Uncover and cook 5 minutes longer or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool. Preheat broiler. Top each bread slice with 1 1/2 teaspoons fig mixture and 1 1/2 teaspoons goat cheese. Arrange slices on a baking sheet; sprinkle evenly with walnuts, then broil for 2 minutes or until nuts begin to brown. Serve immediately.

Basil-Balsamic Figs

Prep Time: 20 minutes; Total Time: 20 minutes Yield: Approximately 6 servings. 8 fresh Black Mission figs, halved lengthwise 16 large fresh basil leaves 1/4 cup balsamic or aged balsamic vinegar

Wash, rinse and stem figs then slice each in half vertically to create 16 halves. Rinse and pat dry basil leaves then place a fig half on each upturned basil leaf so that the leaf cups itself nicely around fig. Place wrapped figs on a platter then drizzle with balsamic vinegar just before serving.

Fresh Fig Jam

Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time; 50 minutes; Total Time: 1 Hour Yield: Approximately 24 servings. 3 lemons, divided use 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/4 cup honey 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 3 thyme sprigs 2 pounds ripe fresh Black Mission figs, stemmed and quartered

Some flavors fuze favorably, like figs and Feta on bruschetta, which together combine to create a warm, creamy and crunchy explosion of flavor in every delicious bite! Food Stylist and Photographer: Laura Kurella

Give a Fig! My first memories of figs are likely no different than most, which was as a child biting into a Nabisco fig newton. Being very young, I didn’t know, nor did I care, which part was the fig and which part was the newton. All I knew was that I liked its ooey-gooey soft texture and sweet-delicious center that gushed onto to my tiny fingers on the first bite! Considered one of oldest foods, figs have a rich and complex history that includes symbolism in many world religions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and Buddhism, where it represents fertility, peace, and prosperity. What’s interesting is that figs are not actually a fruit, but rather a sack (syconium) filled with flowers that grow internally – an ability that only female flowers can do without pollination. Appearing on Sumerian stone tablets dating back to 2500 B.C., which recorded their culinary use, remains of fig trees have also been found during excavations of Neolithic sites from 5000 B.C., and they appear repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Traced from origins in northern Asia Minor, figs spread with the Greeks and the Romans throughout the Mediterranean before coming to southern California in 1520 with the Spanish Franciscan mission-

Laura Kurella

Using a vegetable peeler, and being careful to avoid white pith, remove strips of rind from lemons. Squeeze enough lemon to retrieve 3 tablespoons of juice then save remaining lemon for another use. In a large, heavy saucepan or large Dutch oven, combine rind strips, sugar, honey, lemon juice, thyme and figs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 50 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, or until mixture thickens and candy thermometer read 220 degrees. Fish out and discard thyme and lemon rind strips. Place jam in a sterile jar to cool then refrigerate until use.

aries, which is how we gained the Mission fig. My introduction - the fig newton – first came to the commercial market in 1891 and has - not surprisingly – remained for sale ever since - that’s 127 years, a blessing from God, indeed! High in potassium, iron, fiber and calcium, fig leaves are considered an antidiabetic while its fruit, in addition to its impressive vitamin, fiber, and mineral content, also possesses natural antifungals and powerful antioxidants too! Possessing a rare quality that allows the health benefits of figs to increase upon drying, you can find almost as much calcium in a single dried fig as you can a whole egg! With hundreds of varieties grown the world over, the U.S. offers mainly Mission, Brown Turkey, Kadota, and Calimyrna, and all are usually available fresh, dried, canned, frozen, or in ready-made jams or pastes. Able to be eaten raw, whole or even grilled, figs can be ground up and used for other purposes too! Offering an amazing versatility and unique healthy benefits too, here are now are some sweet ways to dine on this oh-so-good for you food. ENJOY!
