2 locals seek state postion

GOP hopeful suspends campaign

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Just more than one week after announcing his plans to seek the Republican nomination for the Indiana House of Representative’s District 18 seat, Alan Alderfer announced he is suspending his campaign.

Alderfer, who made the announcement on Tuesday, Jan. 7, cited family reasons for his decision.

“After much contemplation, I have decided to suspend my campaign,” said Alderfer, of Winona Lake. “I went into this experience wanting to listen to the community and help come up with solutions to the various issues that affect us all.

“Family values are the core of who I am.

My daughters have

questioned me about not being home and being on the phone all the time while working on campaign issues. My daughter Katherine’s medical condition has been worsening over the last six months and her treatments have changed substantially over the last month. I don’t feel the added stress of this campaign is fair to her and her twin sister, Caroline.

His daughter has been fighting a rare, chronic disease called Juvenile Dermatomyositis since the age of 4.

She is currently representing the Riley Children’s Foundation as a Riley Champion.

“I would like to thank this amazing community for all the support you have given to me through this experience,” Alderfer said. “I firm-

ALAN ALDERFER ly believe in hard work, strong families and spiritual values. I also want to thank Kent Adams for his encouragement and guidance.

Adams, a former Indiana State Senator from Bremen, was working with Alderfer on his campaign.

“Going forward, I plan to continue focusing my time and energy on my passion of helping Riley families, the merit officers of the Kosciusko County Sheriff ’s Department, the clients of Alderfer Bergen and my family.”

The seat is currently filled by Dave Wolkins. He has indicated he doesn’t plan on seeking re-election.

Two Wabash County men have filed their candidacies with the Indiana Secretary of State to seek their parties’ nominations for the Indiana House of Representatives’ 18th District seat.

Republican Russell “Russ” Reahard and Democrat Chad Harris both filed their paperwork last week.

The seat is now held by Rep. Dave Wolkins, who has indicated he will not be seeking re-election. The seat makes up Wabash County and parts of Kosciusko, Grant and Miami counties.

Reahard, in a news release, called himself “a Constitutional concservacit snd seeks to uphold the sanctity of life from conception until natural death.”

He also will defend the Second Amendment, according to the release, and

he believes in “low taxes, balanced budgets and fiscal responsibility.”

Harris, in making his announcement on Facebook, said if elected, he will “advocate for teachers, unions, the middle class and the working poor.”

A Manchester University graduate, Reahard has done graduate work at the University of Indianapolis and Ivy Tech. He currently serves as president of the North Manchester Fellowship of Churches.

Harris serves as the Wabash County

Democrat Party chair.

Filing for the May 5 Primary Election began on Wednesday and will continue through noon, Friday, Feb. 7.

So far, several candidates have filed for re-election to their current Wabash County seats.

Filing have been: LuAnn Layman for Wabash County Treasurer; Cheri Slee for Wabash County Surveyor; Barry J. Eppley for Wabash County Commissioner, District 3; Brian K. Haupert for Wabash County Commissioner,

District 1; Marcie Shepherd for Wabash County Auditor; Matt Dillon for Wabash County Council, AtLarge; and Benjamin D.R. Vanderpool for Wabash Superior Court Judge. All are Republicans.

While Vanderpool now serves as Superior Court judge, this is his first bid for election to the post.

He was appointed last year by Gov. Eric Holcomb following the death of Superior Court Judge Amy Cornell.

Several filed for precinct committeeman posts last week, as well. Those were Reahard for Chester 3; Dillon for Noble 11, Barbara Pearson for Paw Paw Precinct and Barbara Amiss for Chester 6. All are Republicans.

Reahard, Pearson and Dillon also filed to be delegates to the Republican State Convention.

Democrat Donald Rose filed to be a delegate to the Democrat State Convention.

OJN Kaleidoscope Kids rush to take a look at the new benches made from the bottle caps they collected. Photo by Mandy Underwood.

Bottlecap benches donated to O.J.N. She took the caps to Evansville and then picked up and delivered the benches when they were finished.

“We have had a hard time for many years with caps.

They get lost down in the machine when they are trying to be recycled,” said Rankin. “I take them to Green Tree Plastics down in Evansville and they create these beautiful benches. These kids loved this project. They collected caps constantly and fed them either through Modoc’s or through me with the Solid Waste District.

Twice a year I go down and pick up benches and so today we have two benches that we will be dedicating to the school through the program.”

The benches also cost money to make along with providing the material.

Thankfully, the OJN Parent Teacher Organization donated the funds for one of the benches, and Mitch Figert, the former PTO president personally donated the funds for the second bench, in honor of his grandfather who recently passed away.

Once the benches arrived to OJN, all of the Kaleidoscope Kids gathered outside to watch them taken out of the bed of a truck and placed by the entrance of the school.

The kids screamed and laughed with excitement and pride as they took turns

trying out the benches made from their hard work.

Adrian Haughn read a small speech to dedicate the benches.

“May these benches provide many years of comfort and rest to those who seek it,” he said.

Fourth grader Grant LePage imagines the joy that these benches will bring to his classmates.

“Kids are going to be happy about what they have done for our school to make those beautiful benches.”

Although this specific project is finished, Eddingfield and her students all feel very passionate about continuing to make changes to put a dent into the plastic pollution problem.

“Me and some of my family members like to discuss ideas of how we can stop some plastic pollution,” said Taylin Shepherd, another fourth grader who participated in this project.

Along with raising awareness and discussing ideas to help the issue, the students also plan to continue encouraging their school and restaurants in the community to reduce their use of single-use plastic.

“Last year we went to all locally owned restaurants and asked them to only give out plastic straws upon request,” said Eddingfield.

“They were all

very cordial and listened to us and took the brochure we made bout the damages of single use plastic, but to our knowledge, we are not sure that any changes have been made, so we intend to revisit those restaurants and ask them how it’s going and find out if there is anything we can do to encourage them to try only giving straws upon request.”

Martha Steller was proud of the work that her and her peers had put into this project.

“Just thinking about how many plastic caps we collected and have saved from the oceans and landfills just makes us feel good,” she said.

Eddingfield was also proud and imagines ways that these students can continue to make a difference.

“I look at these kids and I think they are tomorrows leaders and I think they are very bright and articulate and very sharp,” she said.

“They will be inheriting this problem, but I can see that they are all equipped and ready to go and will come up with some great solutions.

We know that plastic use is just ingrained into our way of life, but we know that once you have an awareness, it becomes easier to make small changes, and that is kind of what we are wanting to do. We know that we won’t be able to solve this problem all at once, but we can make little changes and do our part and make a ripple effect.

“We have to change this, it’s not too late, and I know that we will keep fighting this fight.”

The Wabash County Museum has been awarded a Community Read grant of $750 from Indiana Humanities to participate in a statewide read of Jean Thompson’s “The Year We Left Home.” Twenty-eight other communities and students at four Indiana colleges will be reading the book as part of “One State / One Story: The Year We Left Home.”

In partnership with the Wabash Carnegie Public Library, the two groups are planning a full year of programming around the theme “Explore Home.” The goal of this programming is to encourage residents of Wabash County to discuss the current challenges facing rural America and how to make Wabash County resilient through the challenges facing small towns.

“As our communities continue to discuss topics such as population decline, education, and economic development it is imperative that we explore the history and stories of our communities and apply them to making decisions and starting conversations about the future,” said Mitch Figert, president and CEO of the Wabash County

Museum. “This partnership with the Wabash Carnegie Public Library will further strengthen the local presence and conversation around local history and humanities.”

The grant will provide 50 books and assorted materials like bookmarks and posters to promote the programs. The Wabash Carnegie Public Library will host a series of book discussions, beginning with Jean Thompson’s “The Year We Left Home.”

Additional programming will include a monthly speaker series at the museum, a #Shelfie challenge for students K-12, a temporary exhibit at the museum, community discussions, and more. The library and museum will release details on upcoming events in the near future.

“The themes explored in Jean Thompson’s novel are the topics already close to many residents in Wabash. The discussion of our past and how it ties into our future is important and we are thrilled to partner with the museum to facilitate that conversation in a variety of ways,” said Rachel Castle, Community Outreach Coordinator of the

Wabash Carnegie Public Library.

Jean Thompson’s 2011 novel offers a sweeping, multigenerational look at life in the Midwest over the past several decades. The story follows the Erickson family through the many changes affecting American life at the end of the 20th

century asking readers to consider the enduring, uniting power of place — why we choose to leave and when we decide to come home.

“Indiana Humanities is in the midst of a two-year initiative encouraging Hoosiers to read, think and talk about urban and rural dif-

ferences and dynamics,” said Keira Amstutz, president and CEO of Indiana Humanities. “We think ‘The Year We Left Home’ will resonate with Hoosiers, and spark conversations about Midwestern life today and our relationships to the places we call home.”

County Farm Bureau offers scholarships Past Urbana Lions President Luke Hunt shows off trophies and plaques he presented last March to winners in the various ECHO Racing series.

URBANA

ECHO Racing entering 12th year Urbana Lions has sponsored ECHO Racing for the past 12 years.

Back in 2008, Urbana Lions wanted to hold an activity for the youth during the winter months. Lions Michael, Bonita Snell and son, Matt, stated that they had the perfect idea, ECHO Racing. ECHO stands for (Electric Car H-O scale ).

Slot car racing has been around for several years. They started out as a windup clockwork car which appeared in 1912.

Lionel (USA) had the sets of cars and tracks in their catalogue and sold from $7.50 to $18.

Lionel, for reasons unknown, discontinued their racing car set in 1915 after they sold an estimated 12,000. Louis Marx and Company was an American toy manufacturer in business from 1919 to 1978. In 1938 Marx was selling single track sets called the “Motorcycle Cop and Car Single Track Speedway.” The set included two tin litho clockwork vehicles, a police department motorcycle with sidecar and a torpedo shaped No.2 Arrow Racer. If you have this set today, it is worth a small fortune used or not.

During the 1960s when the slot car craze was in full swing the United States could rightfully be considered the center of the slot car universe. The slot car scene is of course more diverse than that today with the different scales available. Strombecker hit the plastic model car kit market in 1959

with a line of 1/24 and 1/32 scale motorized slot cars. The 1/24 and 1/32 slot car sets were listed in a 1959 Sears catalog. I was just a 6 or 7 year old when I was introduced to my first race track set. The race set was 1/32 in scale and made by Strombecker.

The set came with two electric motor driven cars, a green Ferrari and a white Porsche and nine feet of track which the layout made a figure 8. This was back in the late ‘50s; my dad purchased this set from Sears Department store that was in Wabash and is now the Wabash Museum.

Back in the early ‘60s, I would go to Sam’s Sport Shop owned and operated

by Sam Schelmer and son Bill. This store was located in the strip mall on the north end of Wabash.

Sam’s had a large slot car track built to accommodate eight lanes of 1/24 or 1/32 slot cars. I would go to Sam’s store on a Saturday and spend almost the entire day racing. Remember, I’m only about 12 years old. America in the ‘50s was moving firmly past the Second World War and into an era of

prosperity. Four Americans, Joseph and Gennaro Glammarino, John Cuomo and Abe Shikes created a company that would become an icon of American toy industry (Aurora Plastic Company). Aurora developed the Model Motoring. This was simply an accessory for HO Trains and grew to become HO Scale, names you will recognize or have seen, AFX, G+, Tyco, T-jet, Tomy just to name a few.

Echo Racing: At 2 p.m. Jan. 18 at the Urbana Lion/Community Building, ECHO Winter National Drag Races will take place.

Track officials are looking to have 32 kids from in and around the Urbana area for these races.

We will hold a qualifying session in both A & B Classes to see who will race who.

This qualifying time will give the drivers some practice on the Christmas Tree Lights, or what is known as the starting gate lights. There will be refreshments after qualifying.

This activity is sponsored by The Urbana Lions Club and there is no cost to kids or parents.

Condolences from the Urbana Yoke Parish Church and the Urbana Lions Club to Naomi Cunningham family and friends and to the Dan Haupert family and friends.

The Urbana Lions/Community Building needs new windows. There are six windows. A couple on the West side are in desperate need

of replacement. The rest will need replacing within the next few years.
