Spring Break fun Petting zoo, more kept local youth busy By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com On Monday, April 5, the Wabash Friends Church Children Ministry hosted a petting zoo for families who stayed in Wabash during Spring Break and were looking for fun things to do. “This isn’t something we have been doing every year,” said Amanda Huff, interim Children’s Ministry Director. “But I’m new in this position and I thought that during Spring Break, the families who are staying in Wabash, wow, they really need some activities, especially with COVID last year and everybody staying home, what a great way to get kids to come out and see some animals and be outside with parents and it gives parents something to do, too.” Joni Cripe, owner of Animal Grams, provided the petting zoo, complete with rabbits, lambs, guinea pigs, chicks, ducklings and more. “This is her second event that she’s done with Wabash Friends,” said Huff. For parents interested in getting their kids involved with a children’s ministry, Friends Church has kid’s programming for children from newborn to sixth grade on Sunday mornings. “It’s a fun time where we’re doing snack, learning about Jesus, doing awesome games in a safe and loving environment,” said Huff.

Hoosier senator meets business leaders By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Indiana Sent. Todd Young said he’s working to ensure entrepreneurs and investors have the tools “to go out there and create wealth and meet consumer demand and grow jobs and businesses.” Young, a Republican, made the remarks on Monday, April 5, during a meeting at the Grow Wabash County office with local businessmen and industry representatives. The meeting was arranged through the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership. “We have seen the rate of startup creations decline the last couple of generations, and that should be of concern to all of us,” Young told the dozen gathered in the GWC conference room. “During my lifetime all net new job creation has been through young firms and new firms. So, the extent to which we can encourage more people to go out there and start new ventures – sometimes they fail, sometimes the succeed – we want to do that. “So, obviously there’s a public policy role in making sure we’re helpful in that regard.” Young, continuing to discuss the issue, took a partisan shot at President Joe Biden’s proposed tax plan. “I thought we were helpful in that regard in recent years when it came to regulatory reform and tax reform, and I’m proud of what we did on that,” he said. “I have some concerns that much of that will be undone in the coming months and years. “I’ll do my part to stay vigilant as it relates to that.” Young said he is working on two pieces of legislation to help businesses. One is called the “Endless Frontier Act” and is a national security piece of legislation, he said, adding that it “has a very direct relationship to future economic growth and dynamism of the American economy.” The bi-partisan legislation increases investment in basic
research and development that will run through university systems and national laboratories, Young said. It also will have “investments in tech hubs that we intend to locate — not in Boston or a research triangle in Austin, Texas, or Silicone Valley – but instead across the Heartland where there is already an existing pipeline of talent of sectoral expertise.” He said he could envision a future where the State of Indiana lands one of the hubs and with it, billions of dollars of federal investment. “To an extent we can develop the next generation of artificial intelligence, robotics and life sciences on computing and some of these other frontier tech-
nologies and lead the world in these fields,” Young said. “We’ll grow our economy faster, and we’ll also be able to equip our war fighters to win the wars of the 21st century, or hopefully avoid the wars of the 21st century, so that the Chinese Communist Party,
which has invested heavily in these different fields, know that our soldiers sailors, airmen, Marines are prepared to never have to fight a fair fight.” The other measure, also a bipartisan measure, is a change to the tax code that would make the exist-

force, rising prices of natural gas, recycling and more. He also heard several of the business leaders thank him for everything the federal government was able to do for business and industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chris Wetherford, second vice president of Paperworks, noted “a lot of us had a lot of skills just driven into our brains growing up. A lot of those skills are not passed down so much anymore… I was wondering if there’s any talk about vocational aptitude type training early on in high school?” Young, co-chair of the Career and Technical Education Caucus in the U.S. Senate, said a lot of K-12 systems are focused on the matter. “Some aren’t focused enough,” he said. “But others, frankly, I’ve been very impressed. Some schools systems are partnering with neighboring school systems and they develop these career centers.” The centers are designed not to just teach the fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic, but also preparing them “to off ramp into a job knowing that not everyone is inspiring to or be prepared to pursue a four-year degree.” Manchester University President Dave McFadden, who was among those present at the talk, agreed that high education is not for everyone. “One of the things that I would observe, though, is that the lines between K-12 and college and college and workforce preparedness are blurry,” he continued, noting that the uni-
versity is working with the Whitko Community Schools career center and the Heartland Career Center to develop programs to bridge high school and college. The bridge would be to “both prepare high school students for college and work beyond high school, beyond college, whatever that course may be for them.” After listening to concerns and comments, Young said “things are looking up here in the community, and that’s fantastic.” He also offered encouragement. “As I travel around Indiana there’s a lot of consternation about the money that we’ve spent and the money we anticipate being spent in Washington,” Young said. “In terms of the money being spent, we had to spend it. The last thing we
want to do is to see our tax paying entities go out of business. People needed the essentials of life and children still needed to be educated, he said. “When you literally shut down your economy, it will literally cost you trillions of dollars, so it’s an investment we had to make,” he continued. “Not that things are opening up again, I

But we also need to be very responsible when we make those investments. We need to spend that money like it’s our own, because it is. There are principle disagreements about this issue in

Led a life of serving
April 21, 1947 – April 7, 2021
July 26, 1935 – April 9, 2021
Roger Lee Helton, 73, Roann, passed away on April 7, 2021 at his home. One of twelve children, Roger was born in Claypool, on April 21, 1947 to the late Bennie and Pauline “Poppi” (Flannery) Helton. In 1966 Roger enlisted in the United States Army and was Honorably Discharged in 1968. His love for his county ran deep, and he always supported other veterans. Roger was a longtime member of the American Legion Sunset Post 402 in Laketon. Being a member was always something of which Roger was proud and honored. After returning home, Roger worked for Bay State Abrasive in North Manchester, for nineteen years and eight months, before they moved the factory elsewhere. He then started working at Dexter Axle, North Manchester. In 2007 Roger retired and enjoyed his life at home. On April 12,1999 Roger married Sheri (Shea) Chalk. The two would have celebrated their twenty-second wedding anniversary in a few days. A green thumb by heart, Roger loved his time in the garden, planting and tending to his many flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Roger was a man who didn’t like to stay inside, and he often found any excuse he could to go outside to work. He also enjoyed riding his 4-wheeler around the property and growing pumpkins and gourds for the grandkids. Roger was a man who never liked to be serious. He was always joking and making people laugh. His biggest quality, however, was his generous heart. Roger did anything he could to help the people around him. On many occasions people’s vehicles broke down in front of his home, and Roger went out and helped them, many times driving them to different places in order to fix their vehicle. Roger also spent time at the Laketon Wesleyan Church, where he attended, helping however he could. The loving memories of Roger Lee Helton will be forever cherished by his wife, Sheri Helton, Roann; sons, Stacy (Angie) Helton, Columbia City, Matthew (Natasha) Helton, Wabash, Caleb (Natasha) Chalk, Roann, and Noah Chalk, Laketon, Indiana; daughter, Brandy (Tyler) Rash, Fort Wayne, Indiana; brother, Troy Helton, Walkerton; sisters, Sue Smith, Warsaw, Alice Faye (Lynn) Reichert, Kirksey, Ky., and Ethel Woodling, Warsaw; and six grandchildren.

Calling and services were April 10, 2021 at McKee Mortuary. Burial was at Graceland Cemetery, Claypool.

Area food pantries have a wide variety of needs Everyone donates Kraft Mac & Cheese in the box to local food pantries. But it needs milk & butter which is hard to get from food banks. Boxed milk is a treasure. Kids need it for cereal, which they get a lot of. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles. Canned food should have pop tops or donate can 0peners. Oil is a luxury needed for Rice a Roni which they get a lot of spices, salt and pepper are a real gift. Tea bags and coffee and caring gifts such as sugar and flour are treats.
Important are fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores. Seeds are great in spring and summer because growing can be easy for some. Rarely is therefresh meat. Tuna and
crackers make a good lunch. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but need sandwich bread. Butter or margarine are good and eggs are a commodity! Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over them. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing. These are some great ideas for dona-
tion, you might not have thought of doing, because I know some of these never enter my mind. You should check with the food pantry; you will be donated items, to see if they are able to accept fresh produce and fresh meat. Remember LaFontaine has a food pantry for LaFontaine and Liberty residents at the LaFontaine United Methodist Church. It is open from 10 a.m. – noon on Monday – Thursday. Their phone number is 765981-4021. Thank you for your donation.

ROANN COVERED Bridge Lions Club Meeting: The Roann Lions Club met at the town hall on Thursday, April 1. The meeting was opened by the members giving the pledge to the American flag, led by club president Rick Morris. The minutes to the March meeting were read by Donna Harman. Keith Ford gave the monthly financial report. Both were approved as read. In old business, Donna gave the report on the Easter Egg Hunt. We had a good turnout but about half as many children came as usual. We would like to thank Janet Shoue for providing those delicious monster cookies again this
year. The Easter Egg Hunt was held at the former Roann School grounds. Also, thank you to Carol Long and LuAnn Layman for all they do in organizing the egg hunt. The Lions Club will be selling concessions for the RC races at the Brickhouse Raceway in Roann on April 17. This is one of the big races of the year for the remote-control enthusiasts. The last indoor race will be on May 8. The Lions Club will be serving concessions that day also. The Lions Club had Judy Gump as guest speaker for the meeting. She was a representative from North Manchester who spoke on the purpose for having 85 Hope of Wabash County. This faith-based organization began 10 years ago with a grant from Ford Meter Box, and by doctors in Wabash County, as well as people in the medical field who give their time in helping people who may need assistance with their medical needs. This service is provided for adults ages 18-64, low income, and with no insurance. To assist with this, 85 Hope has state funded insurance. People must file their financial records to see if they are qualified to receive these free medical options. 85 Hope also helps people with their needs for eye glasses and sometimes call on various organiza-
tions, like the Roann Lions Club, to assist with buying eye glasses for people. Matthew 25 of Fort Wayne helps out with dental needs. Free mammograms are available to women over the age of 40 in Wabash County. The 85 Hope, along with The Lighthouse
Mission and Fish, will be moving to the former Plain Dealer building when remodeling is complete. They are hoping to be moved by August. Upcoming Events: Roann Festival Fundraiser with Richvalley Tenderloins is on Continued on Page 17

PASTOR MACE of the Roann First Brethren Church talks about division: We have become more than a divided country. We have become a divided people. And it shows itself in many different types of relationships. From marriages to parenting, from employees to employers, and from church goers to church leaders. But there is a great division that many do not recognize or acknowledge. The division is between good and evil, light and darkness, God vs. Satan. Of course, this divide has gone on since the beginning of time and why would we think it would change? Jesus told his followers in Matthew 12:25 that, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.” Division divides. Division does not build up. Division is lonely and isolates people from one another. So, let’s consider what God has to say about division. Jesus tells the Pharisees, who were religious leaders, that a kingdom cannot stand if it is divided against itself. The issue here is what is being stood for. Every relationship in life has certain stands that, when followed, bring unity and strength, but when not followed, creates the lack of unity and trust. When we are not willing to take stands, we find ourselves on the outside. You cannot ride the fence when it comes to your relationship with God. Either you are for God and stand with him or not. Then Jesus interacts with the Pharisees about the power of relationships. There is a power behind all we do. The psalmist says,
The Paper of Wabash County ...continued from Page 16 “Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made the heaven and earth.” You were not created to be an island unto yourself. We were created to be dependent beings. The question must always be asked as to who is empowering you to do what you are doing. Then we need to consider our authority. Jesus was casting out demons which the Pharisees accused Jesus of being Satan’s servant. But God corrected them by saying he was a servant of God and that the kingdom of God has come upon them. God the father was his authority. Jesus was doing the work of his father and overcoming the demons. What authority are we seeking in our relationships? Over and over, the wisdom of Proverbs tells us that the power of righteousness leads to life and peace where unrighteousness leads to death and unrest. Many relationships find themselves in destruction and unrest. This does not come from God. Satan is the ruler of darkness and destruction. Seek authority from God and let him lead you into unity and peace. Then Jesus gives an object lesson of a person entering a strong man’s home to steal his goods. You only can do that if you bind the strong man. Wickedness and evil are all around us, crying for us to walk in its way. If we are to be united in our relationships, we must bind the evil that is in this life. Our natural desires of the heart must be bound so we can walk in the newness of Christ. Our ugly desires and sinfulness must be bound in the obedience to scriptures. The wise man heard and obeyed and his house stood firm in the midst of storms. Bind what is evil and allow the power of God to strengthen your relationships here on earth. I CAN be reached by e-mail at meyerann@centurylink.net by phone 765-8332614.

GOOD WORDS
. . .
Who is the most powerful person you have ever met? For Chris ans, the most powerful meets us where we are. In prayer, we speak with God through Jesus, who inter cedes for us. Prayer, simply put, is talking to God through our intercessor, Jesus Christ. When we pray we seek wisdom, direc on, help, and hope. Through God’s Grace, we have access to the most powerful, who is God. Prayer not only changes things, it changes us. “Cast all your concern on Him.” (1 Peter 5:7) What do you need to talk to God about? Rev. Rick E. Carder (RickeCarder.com)
