1 dead, 1 injured in crashes
of Wabash County Vol. 42, No. 9
New judge sworn in
By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com A 37-year-old Somerset man died in a crash Tuesday night, according to the Huntington County Sheriff ’s Department. Meanwhile, a Celina, Ohio, man was seriously injured in a separate accident in Wabash County on Tuesday morning. According to Huntington County officials, around 10:20 p.m., Justin Adkins, of Somerset, was driving on County Road 500 West, north of County Road 700 South when his vehicle went off the east side of the road. Investigators think he overcorrected, and then ended up on the other side of the road before overturning and striking a utility pole. The Huntington County coroner’s office reported Adkins wasn’t wearing his seatbelt and was partially thrown from his car. Adkins died from his injuries. In the Wabash County accident, William H. Bruggeman, 52, was traveling east on U.S. 24 and had gone off the roadway west of the intersection with State Road 15, officials reported. The vehicle, a 2012 Freightliner, was located off the north side of the road way of the west bound lanes of travel for U.S. 24 between Falls Avenue and Stitt Street. Bruggeman was awake following the crash, but not responsive, sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, and was unable to give his account of the crash at that time. Witnesses stated that Bruggeman was traveling east on U.S. 24, and for reasons unknown, the vehicle crossed from the outside lane of U.S. 24, crossing both lanes of U.S. 24 and went east into those lanes. He then left the road and impacted an embankment, and rolled over onto the embankment before coming to a stop. Bruggeman became combative while in the ambulance, but the officer’s report stated Bruggeman didn’t appear to know what he was doing. He was later sedated and flown by Lutheran Air Ambulance to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne. Officers made contact with Bruggeman on May 8. Bruggeman stated he remembered driving down U.S. 24 and then state he felt something “funny” with his body, and that the next thing he remembered was waking up in the hospital.

1962 Ro-Annual editor reflects on school’s final yearbook By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com ROANN – When Pamela (Cline) Krom was a freshman at the former Roann High School, she was appointed to the staff of the Ro-Annual, the school’s yearbook. Little did she know that her senior year, when she became the yearbook’s editor, the work of her and her staff would be preserved in the annals of town history. Last year, Roann Clerk-Treasurer Bob Ferguson proclaimed the 1962 edition of the Ro-Annual a permanent town record and has a copy of it preserved in the Town Hall. During the recent Roann Alumni Banquet, Ferguson spoke about the yearbook, and wondered aloud where Krom was because he would like to talk to her about the book and the planning it took to produce it. A gentleman, Ned Cline (who with his twin sister, Nancy, were members of the school’s 1959 graduating class), told him that his younger sister was the book’s editor, and that he would contact
her to see if she would permit him to provide Ferguson her contact information. She agreed, and Ferguson conducted a telephone interview with her on April 30 from her home in New London, Conn. He shared the interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “The way you get to be the editor of the annual, they would select one person who was a freshman,” she recalled. “There were always two sophomores. Each year you added another person from your class. “When you’re a junior there were three people and when you get to be a senior there were four people that were working on the annual, plus you had your advisor. So, if you went in as a freshman, you were going to be the editor when you were a senior because you had the most experience. That’s the way it works. And they were very careful who they selected as a freshman, to make sure they had good skills.” (continued on page 5)
Benjamin D. Vanderpool became Wabash County’s newest Superior Court Judge. Vanderpool received the oath of office from his father, Judge Daniel Vanderpool (Ret.) during a brief ceremony on Wednesday evening, May 8, in the Wabash County Superior Courtroom. The room was filled with family, friends and members of law enforcement and the Wabash County Bar Association. Judge Benjamin Vanderpool replaces Judge Amy Cornell, who passed away earlier this year. He was appointed to the position by Gov. Eric J. Holcomb on April 11. “I’m just excited to get started,” Judge Vanderpool told The Paper of Wabash County following the ceremony. “I’m humbled and honored to be selected for this role, and I’m really looking forward to serving the entire community.” He began his official duties on Thursday, May 9. He has asked Judge Karen Springer, who served as Wabash Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore, to remain in Wabash through May (continued on page 6)
Little left of former hospital: Little was left Monday morning of the old Parkview Wabash Hospital. Parkview Wabash moved to the new facility on John Kissinger Avenue last summer. During the construction of the facility, Parkview and local officials attempted to find someone to take over the former facility, however they were unsuccessful in doing so. That left Parkview officials with no choice but to raze former site on East Street. Crews have been working on the demolition for several months, and the last of the structure was expected to be down sometime Monday. The cleanup will continue for some time. Photo by Josh Sigler

Derrick Shelton has endured a lifetime of medical complications, surgeries and t r a n s p l a n t s . Currently on dialysis and awaiting his second kidney transplant, Shelton will have a benefit held in his name Saturday, May 18. “It’s been a rough life, a difficult life,” Shelton said. “But there’s always some-
one worse off than I am. If I could take pain from someone, I would take it away, because I’ve been through it.” The benefit begins at 4 p.m. at the Wabash Moose Lodge. A $7 pulled pork dinner will be served, followed by an auction. Everything from the massages being bid on to the food being used for the event were donated by different people and businesses around Wabash County. The
following Monday, May 20, Goodfella’s Pizza will be donating 10 percent of its sales to the cause. All proceeds and donations will go directly to Shelton and his intensive medical bills. Shelton, 54, first started having medical problems when he was wrung with convulsions and comas as a young boy. At the age of 6, he was diagnosed as a Type 1 severe diabetic. Despite this, he graduated from Northfield High School, had a family, worked in Florida, rode motorcycles and lived as normal of a life as he could, but as the years passed, his kidneys began to fail all together. In 2008, after 10 months of dialysis, he had his first transplants, for a pancreas and kidney. The kidney was only projected to last seven years since it was from a deceased donor. In 2015, the kidney rejected, exactly as the doctors had warned. A stroke and congestive heart failure followed. For Shelton, he had no choice but to go back to dialysis.
DERRICK SHELTON Dialysis removes water and toxins from the blood of people who no longer have kidneys that can naturally do it for them. Shelton must go three days a week, every week. It takes a halfhour just to hook him up to the machine, two needles in his arm. He sits through four hours of discomfort; his face, neck and legs cramping if they take too much fluid. As he describes the procedure, he shows the wide, weathered valleys of scars on his arms. “It just drains you,” he said. “It’s the hardest job I’ve ever had.” Shelton has lost 100 pounds. He can no longer ride motorcycles due to the transplants, but he’s still wearing one of his
Harley Davidson shirts. His eyes alone have required 15 different surgeries. One of his medications has now given him skin cancer. In nearly every possible way, his body has failed him. Still, somehow, Shelton never fails to find the bright side. “I don’t have time to be negative,” he said. “I don’t like to be around negative people. I’m not letting anyone pull me down.” He attributes his positive outlook to his faith in God and his parents. His mother, Vera Shelton, helped plan the benefit, but his father died in the past year. Shelton especially feels his father’s loss, because he was there for everything, sleeping next to his hospital bed, from when he was a scared little boy all the way to when he was a father himself. Now, Jean Whitmer, his sister-in-law, sits beside him as they discuss the days ahead. The future includes the benefit, a new kidney and the birth of his first grandchild, who is due at the end of (continued on page 3

Incumbent falls in City Council race By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Challenger David Monroe defeated Wabash City Council incumbent Eric Schoening by seven votes Tuesday in the Republican Primary for the Council’s Second District seat. Monroe received 38 votes to Schoening’s 31 in the closest race of the night in the City of Wabash and the towns of North Manchester and LaFontaine. In other contested races within the City of Wabash, GOP incumbent Doug Adams defeated challenger Jonathan Bouse, 112-23, in the Council’s Fifth District race, while Terry Brewer Jr. defeated Sheryll Ulshafer, 63-29, in a race between two political newcomers to win the nomination for the Council’s Third District seat. In North M a n c h e s t e r, Republican incumbent Jim Smith defeated Anthony “Tony” DeLaughter, 279-134, in the race for the North Manchester Town Council’s Second District seat. In the biggest field in this year’s Primary, Lori Brane, Jay Gillespie and E. John Krhin III won the GOP nominations for the LaFontaine Town Council. Brane received 89 votes, while Gillespie

received 80 and Krhin received 69. Other candidates were Mike Holderman, 58 votes; Jeremy Waite, 31 votes, and Indie Piercy, 16 votes. Other Republicans appearing on the ballot in all three communities, as well as Lagro and Roann, were unopposed. Because there were no candidates in Lagro or Roann, no elections took place in those communities. Likewise, because there were no races on the Democrat ticket, no Democrat Primary took place. In all, 992 people, or 9.7 percent of the 10,232 registered voters in Wabash, North Manchester and LaFontaine, cast ballots on Tuesday. During the 2015 Primary, more than twice as many voters cast ballots. That year, 2,007 of the 11,334 registered voters cast ballots. Like this year, LaFontaine and North Manchester had Town Council races, and Wabash also had two races for the City Council. Unlike this year, the city also had a race for mayor on the Democrat ticket. The way things stand after the Primary Election, there is only one race on the ballot for the November General Election.

June. Shelton plans to be there to help raise his grandson. There is reason to be optimistic. After a video his sister posted went viral on Facebook last year, they received several inquiries of people sharing Shelton’s O positive blood type and wanting to help. While most fell through after some preliminary medical tests, one woman from California passed all the tests. She reached out directly to Shelton from across the county. Since she is a living donor, the kidney could last the rest of
Shelton’s life. “It takes a lot of heart to volunteer your kidney,” Whitmer said. “She doesn’t even know him.” “I’d be forever indebted to her,” Shelton added. When discussing the potential of the new kidney, Whitmer briefly used the word “if.” Shelton quickly corrected her, adding the word “when” in its place, seemingly speaking it into existence. Or, maybe, he’s just praying out loud. “God will make a way,” he said. “It will happen.”
Work begins on SR 124 Wabash County Republican chair Barb Pearson chats with Terry Brewer Jr., winner in the Wabash City Council’s Third District race. Photo by Joseph Slacian Democrat Dan Townsend are on the ballot for the Wabash City Council at-large seat. “Since there is an at-large council race, all voters in the city will vote,” Wabash County Clerk Lori Draper told The Paper of Wabash County. “During this primary, only three of the five districts had races in Wabash, so not all Wabash City voters
had someone on their ballot to vote for.” That all could change, however, as party chairs have until July 3 to fill any openings on their respective ballots. Likewise, an independent candidate has until July 1 to file their petition with correct signatures to appear on the ballot. There are some stipulations as to who may run as an independ-
ent candidate. “You cannot run as an independent for the same position you lost in the primary, but you could run for a different office,” Draper said. One other important deadline is 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7, Draper noted. That is the deadline for nonregistered individuals to register to vote in the Nov. 5 General Election.
State Road 124 in Wabash County is expected to be closed in early May for about 60 days. The closure will allow contractors to replace a small structure at the intersection of S.R. 124 and C.R. 150 W in Wabash County. Access to homes and businesses will be maintained throughout the work. The official state detour for the closure will be S.R. 15 to S.R. 13. The road may be
closed up to 60 calendar days during the work. The contract was awarded to 3D Company.

4 county students get Self-Reliance Awards By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com On Tuesday afternoon, four Wabash County high school seniors were honored during the 2019 Midwest Eye Consultants Self Reliance Award Ceremony. The event took place at the weekly Wabash Kiwanis luncheon. The Kiwanis Club oversees the program for Midwest Eye. The seniors — Brittany Bussard of Northfield; Konner
Cripe of Manchester; and Lucinda Anderson and Paige Frank, both of Wabash — each received $2,000 to be used for whatever they choose. The program is designed to honor students who are able to overcome the hand that life has dealt them and succeed through their own self-reliance. Kiwanis PresidentElect Eric Seaman detailed the various trials and tribulations the students faced in their young lives. But he also high-
lighted the various successes they’ve had in spite of the various obstacles, and what they hope to do with their lives after graduation before Dr. Greg Garner presented each of the students with a certificate and a check. Bussard hopes to work in the veterinary field, while Cripe hopes to get a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Anderson hopes to pursue a career in the mortuary sciences, and Frank hopes to work in the medical field.

It feels nice.” Midwest Eye
Consultants sponsors the program which is overseen by the Wabash Kiwanis Club. The Kiwanians conduct the selection process by communication with the high schools, reviewing the applications, interviewing the finalists and organizing the award presentation. All high school seniors in Wabash County are eligible, with the exception of seniors who are children of Kiwanis members or Midwest Eye Consultants employees.

Ro-Annual editor reflects What makes the 1962 Ro-Annual special is it was the last one for the school. The Metropolitan School District of Wabash County was formed the following year, and students from Roann began attending Northfield High School. To honor the school’s heritage, photos of all the prior graduating classes were included in the book, as well as updates on as many as the alumni as possible. “I kind of remember as a junior the subject came up that the next year would be the last year for the annual because the schools were consolidating,” Krom said. “There would still be the elementary school there, but it would be the last senior class that was graduating. Our class was small. We had 22 people in our class – 11 boys and 11 girls. It was a lot of work for the staff to do this. “I’m not sure, actually, who came up with the idea (of including all the former classes). I don’t know whether it was the adviser, who was the principal, Wayne Fansler, or whether there were some influential people in town that brought it up to

Obviously people in town or people who were alumni had copies of these pictures.” Several area residents also helped in finding ways to contact the various alumni. “There were several ladies in town who knew somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody,” Krom said. “They all worked hard at getting as much information to us as they could. One of them happened to be my future mother-in-law, Norma Krom.” Krom, the former Pamela Cline, is married to 1961 Roann High School graduate Richard Krom. “I think the ladies who worked at the post office — Mildred Eller and Ruth Flinn — those ladies knew a lot because all the mail came through there, they sorted it by hand and all that. They would say, ‘I think I know where that person is.’ “We don’t even know, as we were putting the book together, how much of the
information is truly accurate. We only went with the information we were given. That’s the best we could do. And, obviously, there was some that we had no information on.” The book was offered to alumni for purchase, and Krom believes at least 100 extra books were produced for them. Generally, she noted, only families who had students at the school purchased the yearbook. “I’m not sure exactly how many books we had to order,” she said. “It’s possible we had to make a second order, I don’t remember. “I know we ordered extra because we knew there would be people who wished they had ordered one. For several years we took them to the Alumni Banquet.” Proclaiming the 1962 Ro-Annual is important to the preservation of the book, Ferguson explained. “Annuals aren’t permanent documents,” he said. “So, if we were to just take this
book and put it in the back room … in another 25 or 30 years, as they’re cleaning up back there, they might just take the annual and pitch it, knowing that they need the extra room.” Ferguson’s proclamation, Krom said, “really means a lot to me.” “I love the book,” she said, asking him for a copy of the proclamation. “I’m very much interested in historical things. I hated it when I was in school. I love it now. “I’m impressed, I really am, that you’ve done that. It means a lot to me.” Following graduation from Roann High School, Krom attended Manchester College for two years, then moved to Washington, D.C., where she worked for the National Geographic Society. Her future husband was in his final year of study at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. He went on to have 26 years of active duty with the Navy, serving as a submarine commander.

River Walk may get new route By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash River Walk could be getting a different route sometime in the future. The Wabash Board of Parks & Recreation agreed to look into changing the route on the eastern portion of the trail between Wabash and Huntington streets. The city, Park Superintendent Adam Hall noted, has been getting some complaints from residents because high water from the Wabash River has closed down a portion of the trail this spring.
Some have suggested moving the trail to the north of the existing pathway. Hall told the board that in order to do that, the trail would have to be close to the city’s northern property line. In order to move the trail, board members were told, many trees would have to be removed. The board also questioned whether asphalt would be needed or gravel would suffice. Some board members noted that gravel would make it hard for those with baby strollers or wagons, as well as for bike riders. Any decision is far
off, largely due to cost concerns. The board had no idea how much the move would cost. It did agree to have Hall explore the cost of relocating that portion and report back to it. In another matter, the board learned that work is progressing on the city’s Inclusive Park. The park committee is making plans for a grand opening; however, it is still too early to have a date finalized. In another matter, the board learned Hall is seeking to launch a Patronicity campaign to help raise funds for a fitness pad.

New judge takes oath ...cont. from Page 1 10. “She’ll stay Thursday and Friday,” he said. “I’m going to use those two days to make sure I’m up to speed, get a crash course on the court system, make sure I’ve got all my forms and everything in place.” Since his appointment until his swearing in, Judge Vanderpool said he has been busy tending to the private practice he had with his father and his brother, Isaiah. “A big part of my time was spent just trying to transition out to the private practice,” he said. “I wanted to make sure my dad and brother were set up and all my clients were taken
care. Just get everything transitioned to them. That’s been most of my time. “Then I have spent some time trying to go through the process, look at the calendar, develop some forms, so I can get to the ground running.” Daniel Vanderpool said he was honored to swear in his son, noting a parent always like seeing their children succeed. “Some people have asked me what it is I would like to say to Ben, or what advice I might have for him as a judge, since I did the job for a while,” he said in his opening remarks. “The one thing I can tell Ben, which he probably
already doesn’t know, is just show up. That’s what you need to do to make sure justice is administered, that things move along and you’re doing what you’re supposed to do. So, just show up. “Be willing to ask for guidance at times. When you go to bed at night … I always told people that when I went to bed at night I felt fairly comfortable, knowing that at least I had done what I thought was right for the day.” He warned his son that “sometimes I always didn’t sleep the best at night. Sometimes I did. Sometimes I didn’t.” “When you go to bed, say a prayer. Ask for guidance for the
next day and you show up.” Judge Benjamin Vanderpool was born in Wabash in 1984 and admitted to the bar in 2011. He is a member of Phi Alpha Delta, the Indiana State Bar Association, the American Bar Association and the Indiana Public Defenders Counsel. He earned his Bachelor of Science Degree from Purdue University and his law degree from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School at Western Michigan University. A North Manchester resident, he and his wife, Brooke, have two sons and a third child on the way.

MU students have mock funeral for French program, other cuts By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com
NORTH MANCHESTER — Students at M a n c h e s t e r University had a mock funeral on Friday, May 10, for, they said, the university’s liberal arts program. University officials recently announced cuts to the program which included the elimination of the French program. Several staff members are expected to lose their positions as well. The students had a ceremony at Petersime Chapel, then marched across campus to Tall Oaks, home of University President Dave McFadden. There, the students heard taps played, as well as a few speeches from classmates. The ceremony, attended by nearly 100 students and supporters, lasted approximately 40 minutes and included eulogies from five Manchester students, a choir, and a casket draped with the French flag. “I appreciate the passion that our students have around these issues,” President McFadden said. “When they said they were going to have a protest, they described the nature of the protest … they were going have a funeral. I described it to a number of people both as heartfelt on their part, and very creative. “When they came down the driveway at Tall Oaks, I thought

stand out and connect with the students Friday night. “Several of the trustees spent 15-20 minutes talking with the students and were genuinely interested in talking with them,” he said.
An obituary was also included for the ceremony. “Liberal Arts Education, age 130, of North Manchester, Indiana, passed away on Monday, April 29, at 4:26 p.m. after a courageous battle against the Marketplace. As a teacher, Liberal Arts Education had a passion for instilling critical thinking skills into their students. One of their greatest accomplishments was preparing students to live productive and principled lives. They strongly believed that the future of society would thrive if their students were given the tools to debate and to speak for a personal conviction.”

Neighbours students receive Swan Awards By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash City Schools honored its elementary school Kathy Swan Award winners during the May 6 board meeting at O.J. Neighbours Elementary School. Kathy Swan was a revered teacher in the Wabash City Schools system who tragically lost her life in a 2005 plan crash. “She really had a heart for the kids,” Superintendent Jason Callahan said. “Kathy was a dedicated servant to the students. Out of that tragedy, we wanted to do something in Kathy’s memory, so we created this award. We love this award because the recipients of this award receive it without ever knowing about it. There’s no application process. Every year a child in
every grade level from kindergarten to 12th grade receives the award. They receive it by being nominated by their teachers.” The teachers are asked to identify students who embody the spirit that Swan was remembered for. They are hard-working students who come in day after day with a smile on their face and known for their hard work. Kindergarten teacher Lisa Brewer nominated student Sawyer Cantrell. Brewer said Cantrell was very shy and didn’t like to talk to adults upon entering school. But, that very quickly turned around. “At the beginning of the year, he needed help with the recognition of letters and numbers, and he worked very hard in a small group setting,”
Brewer said. “This allowed Sawyer to gain confidence. His scores at the middle of the year increased a lot. He’s still learning every day. He began reading in the middle of the year, and he’s doing a great job right now. “Sawyer loves to come to school. He has a smile on his face and comes in and shakes my hand every morning.” First grade teacher Keisha Wright presented awards to Briar and Sutton Stoffel. “There is so much to celebrate about these two young ladies,” Wright said. “Briar and Sutton’s work ethic is (second) to none, and has proven that hard work truly pays off. They both came into first grade to learn and put forth their very best effort. A smile never leaves their faces.

Wabash senior Aaron Nickerson poses with members of the Wabash School Board with his Kathy Swan Award. They are both very inquisitive and generally excited about learning each and every day.” Second grade teacher Rachel McWhirt presented the award on behalf of Nicholas Campbell, who was unable to attend the meeting. McWhirt said Campbell inspires her. “He comes to school with a smile on his face every day, and he always gives his best effort,” McWhirt said. “He faces challenges head on, and he works diligently and cooperatively to grasp what is being taught. He is eager to please and willing to take risks in an effort to grow in
the classroom. Nicholas maintains a positive attitude and he does not give up. He consistently demonstrates perseverance, patience and courage. In addition to his academic efforts, Nicholas also demonstrates a manner of respect and kindness.” Third grade teacher Jenny Tyner presented the award to Kyndall Shear. Tyner said Shear is a leader by her actions and her words. “She always makes the right choices, and she encourages her classmates to do the same,” Tyner said. “I can always count on her to do what is right.

She also has a servant’s attitude. She is willing to help and be counted on to get the job done right.” Fourth grade teacher Janet Sparks presented the award to Lily-Ann Abshire. Sparks said Abshire has a positive attitude and always greats people with a smile. “Lily-Ann Abshire is a friend to all who are lucky enough to be in her company,” Sparks said. “When Lily entered my classroom, she did so quietly. And, while she remains a quiet and thoughtful student, she is always at the top of her game with great knowledge. … Lily-Ann has overcome many obstacles in her personal life. She has an amazing heart, and often is trying to think of ways to help others from people to animals.”
And, senior Aaron Nickerson was awarded his Kathy Swan Award at the meeting. He was unable to attend the meeting at the high school. Callahan presented the award, and said Nickerson’s teachers raved about him. “He’s so dedicated,” Callahan said. “He always has a smile on his face, always positive. He’s a great team member who’s supportive of his teammates. … He is also a great student. One teacher commented ‘having Aaron in class is easy. He always shows up with a positive attitude, and turns in quality work and helps others. It’s very rewarding to work with seniors who see the value of hard work, treat their peers with respect, and have such great potential.’”

Beverly Ferry, CEO of Living Well in Wabash County, approached the Wabash County Commissioners seeking signatures for official paperwork for a Wabash County Transit 5311 Grant Monday. The title for the vehicles being purchased are actually in the commissioners’ name, thus the need for the signatures. Living well has received a minivan through the grant, and will be receiving a light transit bus this week. County Highway Superintendent John Martin
updated the commissioners that Bridge 155 on Meridian Road over Clear Creek is now open. Sheriff Ryan Baker delivered his weekly jail report. The average population of the jail was 108, with 18 new bookings, 11 transports, and 45 inmates in Miami County and nine Elkhart County. The jail’s peak population was 110. The total prisoner count was 165. The jail was over capacity 100 percent of the time. County Coordinator Jim Dils informed the commissioners that they approved the replacement of tile on the north porch of the courthouse. That is scheduled to be
completed this coming weekend. Also, Atlas has postponed beginning tuck work repairs due to the weather. Commissioners approved a contract with SRI for 2019 tax data. Commissioners also approved on second reading an ordinance to vacate lots in Spiecherville. Those lots were approved for vacation at last week’s meeting. Angela Christopher handed out a quarterly update for the Purdue Extension Wabash County. And, Superior Court Judge Benjamin Vanderpool stopped by to introduce himself to the commissioners.
Visit Wabash County adds kiosk Visit Wabash County has installed its fifth interactive digital kiosk.

May 15, 2019
Several local students Elzie Mae Zartman graduate from IUK KOKOMO – Indiana University Kokomo celebrated the achievements of 138 members of the Class of 2019 in the fields of education, nursing, and radiologic sciences. Faculty honored 27 graduates from the School of Education, 25 in the Division of Allied Health Sciences, and 86 in the School of Nursing, at the schools’ annual recognition ceremonies. Several Wabash County residents participated in the event. Leah Nellis, dean of the School of Education, encouraged graduates to find their “marigolds,” or people who will support them as they begin and continue their careers, noting that marigolds are companion flowers that protect other plants from pests and harmful weeds. “Each of you has chosen to enter what many have called the most noble of professions,” she said. “Without teachers, there are no other professions. We are proud of your choice to become an educator, and know you will serve your students and your schools.” A s h t o n Schimmelpfennig, Kokomo, said she had a great support sys-
tem, including family and faculty, as she earned her degree in elementary education. She graduated in December 2018, and is teaching music at Eastern Elementary School. Her experience in the School of Education prepared her to succeed as a new teacher. “I had so many opportunities to have one-on-one time not only with professors, but students in classrooms,” she said. “I feel that prepared me to be a better teacher, because I had that exposure before I was in the classroom on my own.” John Hughey, chair of the Division of Allied Health Sciences, congratulated graduates on their many accomplishments, and reminded them what they’ve learned about patient care. “It’s the kindness the deaf can hear, the blind can see, and the impaired can appreciate,” he said. “Be proud of the huge accomplishment you have achieved, and be proud you are among those who have earned an Indiana University degree.” Sam Rhymer, from Rochester, has known he wanted to work in radiologic science since early in high
school, and was excited to have completed an Associate of Science in Radiography. “It’s a big achievement for my family,” he said. “It feels good.” He plans to work at Woodlawn Hospital while continuing his education to specialize in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), for a career in the IT side of radiography. School of Nursing Dean Susan Hendricks urged graduates to each consider their legacy as a nurse, recalling groundbreaking leaders such as Florence Nightingale, credited as the founder of modern nursing; Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross; and Rear Admiral Sylvia TrentAdams, who recently served as surgeon general. “Tonight, all of you claim your place among the long tradition of women and men who have provided excellent leadership and care in nursing, throughout our history, the history of nursing, and the history of nursing at Indiana University,” she said, adding that the graduates may choose to be leaders in large organiza-
tions, bedside nurses, school nurses, nurse educators, nurse practitioners, or many other careers in their field. “Think just a little about the legacy that you will leave throughout your nursing career. Whatever you choose, each and every day will matter. Every day you work, you have the opportunity to leave an invisible mark in the life of someone you care for, teach, or serve.” Allie Pond, Kokomo, said it feels “kind of surreal” to have completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She’s worked in health care jobs for several years, and has accepted a nursing position at Community Howard Regional Health. “This means the world to me,” she said. “I’m excited to get out in the world and make a difference.” Students honored at the recognition ceremonies include: School of Education: Ashley Hunt, Wabash Bachelor of Science in Nursing: Emily Aguilar, Roann, and Kaetlyn Kirtlan, Wabash R.N. to B.S.N.: Miranda Mitchell, Wabash.
3 local students earn Next Generation scholarships Three Wabash County residents were among 200 people in the third class of Next Generation Hoosier Educators to earn scholarships from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. The three were Ariel Dale, a Northfield Jr.Sr. High School graduate; Kelsey Eichenauer, a Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School graduate; and Makenna Norman, a Southwood Jr.-Sr. High School graduate. Dale will attend Taylor University, while Eichenauer will attend Valparaiso University and Norman will attend Indiana University
Kokomo. The recipients, selected through a competitive process based on academic achievement and other factors, will receive $7,500 annually (up to $30,000 total) for committing to teach in Indiana for at least five years after graduating college. “We are encouraged to see so many driven and prepared students applying for the Next Generation Hoosier E d u c a t o r s Scholarship,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “We look forward to the positive impact they will have in class-
rooms and school communities across Indiana.” A total of 393 students applied for the 2019-20 Next Generation Hoosier E d u c a t o r s Scholarship, with applications coming from 212 high schools in 82 of the Indiana’s 92 counties. Over 80% of applicants were Indiana high school seniors with the remainder comprised of current college students. “Teachers are the most significant driving force behind student success inside and outside the classroom,” said House Speaker Brian Bosma
(R-Indianapolis), author of the legislation creating the scholarship. “This scholarship can help aspiring educators realize their dream of helping young Hoosiers and making a difference in their lives.” To qualify for the scholarship, students had to either graduate in the highest 20 percent of their high school class or earn a score in the top 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT. To continue earning the scholarship in college, students must earn a 3.0 cumulative GPA and complete at least 30 credit hours per year.
Elzie Mae was born at 9:35 a.m. April 10, 2019, to Mr. & Mrs. Silas Zartman. She weighed 4 pounds, 4 ounces and was 16.5 inches long. Her mother is the former Tenille Draper.
Holley named to dean’s list Paige R. Holley, Roann, was among 2,094 students to be named to the spring 2019 dean’s list at the University of Southern Indiana. Undergraduate stu-
dents must achieve a 3.5 or better grade point average to be named to the dean’s list. Students earning no incomplete or missing grades for the
term, and earning letter grades of computable point value in 12 or more semester hours, with a semester GPA between 3.5 and 4.0, also are named to the list.

Pathfinder group honors free tax program volunteers By The Paper staff HUNTINGTON – The Pathfinder HomeOwnership Center recently had an appreciation dinner on April 24, 2019 honoring the outstanding volunteers who made the organization’s free tax preparation program a success. More than 60 people attended the thank you celebration at Huntington U n iv e r s i t y ’ s Habecker Dining Commons. Bill Horoho was honored at the dinner for 10 years of service as a volunteer with VITA. This was the 10th year for the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and 1423 tax returns were completed free of charge with families qualifying and receiving more
than $358,956 in Earned Income Tax Credit and a total of over $1.4 million in tax refunds. The Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC, provides tax credits to working adults and families with low or moderate incomes. Money can be used to pay down debts, buy things families need, or can be saved for the future. “This program could not exist without our dedicated volunteers,” according to Justin Barker, Director for the P a t h f i n d e r HomeOwnership Center. “This tax season, over 980 hours of service were given thanks to our 56 volunteers. This is a wonderful service for community members in Huntington, North Manchester and
Wabash. We estimate that we saved families a total of $250,448 in fees that they would have paid for tax preparation.” Officials at the P a t h f i n d e r HomeOwnership Center would also like to thank funders and sponsors of the free tax preparation program including Neighborworks America, United Way of Huntington County, Rural LISC, PNC, Heartland REMC, Wabash County United Fund, and Intrasect Technologies. The Huntington CityTownship Public Library and the Thomas Marshall Town Life Center in North Manchester also donated space for free tax preparation in Wabash.

A Wabash County native will return to the area with book signings on the release of her second novel. Melody (McVicker) Deal will hold gatherings for her second book, “The Shelter of the Dove’s Wings,” on Sunday, May 19, and Monday, May 20. The Sunday book signing will be from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. at the Troyer Memorial Library in LaFontaine. The Monday book signing will be from 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. at the Tree of Life Bookstore in Marion. This is Deal’s second Christian fiction novel. “My first book signing was a great experience and I received such wonderful support. It is nice to be able to return home with my second novel for another signing,” Deal said. Deal has always admired writers throughout her life, but did not expect that she would one day be an author with two novels to her credit. “After I retired, I became involved with a writing group and they encouraged me through the process. They helped me believe I could write a novel,” Deal shared. Deal views writing these works of Christian fiction as an opportunity to share her faith through the characters she develops. Deal’s second novel, “The Shelter of the Dove’s Wings,” continues the saga of Sarah and her seven children who are thriving on their rural farm in the early 20th century. When Sarah takes in a child who has sought refuge on their farm, the family’s sense of security is threatened. Sarah will need to lean heavily on her faith in God to guide her through the difficult decisions and circumstances she will face. The novel’s setting is in Deal’s hometown of LaFontaine, Indiana. The inspiration for this book series came
from the story of a local friends grandmother who had taken care of several children by herself in 1903. “I began considering the circumstances a woman would have to navigate in the early 20th century, with women not even being able

He also had an MBA from Indiana University. He had lived in Portland since 2000. Kelby is survived by his wife, Keri Ridenour of Portland, Ore.; parents David and Sue Ridenour of Wabash; sister Julie (Michael) Perea of Livermore Calif.; and an extended family of aunts and uncles, cousins, nephews, and friends. He was always quick to share a witty line, bring a smile to brighten someone’s day, and lend an ear. He was very fond of the outdoors and could be found golfing, kayaking, hiking, or running. If there was a Cubs game, you can bet he was watching. He may not have had the opportunity to watch the Cubs play in every stadium in America, but rest assured he saw plenty of games clad in flip flops, cargo shorts, and Cubs jersey drinking a beer with peanuts in the stands! While in high school, he developed a great passion for golf. It was a sport that he played all his life. He traveled near and far in his search for a great day on the course. He even managed to get a hole in one at Bandon Dunes in Oregon. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that a donation be made in Kelby’s name to the new golf program at Southwood. Please send checks to Southwood Athletic Department and put in the memo: golf club. Helping to support a young Southwood area student develop a love for golf the way Kelby loved golf would be a great way to honor him. A Celebration of Life is being planned for June 15, 2019.

WPD joins Click It or Ticket Wabash Police are joining law enforcement agencies across the nation to increase seatbelt laws for the Click It or Ticket. Now through the Memorial Day holiday Wabash City Police will add increased enforce-
ment for unrestrained passengers in motor vehicles. As a reminder, Indiana law requires the driver and all passengers to buckle up. Children under eight must be properly restrained in a child car seat or booster seat.
Many people may ask why we enforce seatbelt laws. “Officers respond to traffic crashes and see many injuries and deaths could be preventable if everyone in a motor vehicle were buckled up,” said Officer Aaron Snover.

An ongoing look at Wabash County 4-H 10-year members
4-H Grows...
Jared Peas School: Northfield Parents: Mark & Pamela Peas Future Plans: Attend Indiana University of Kokomo 4-H Club: Speedy Clovers Favorite 4-H Projects: Swine 4-H Grows Character: “The Wabash 4-H program helped mold my character to the way it is today. One of the best traits 4-H taught me was to have good character,” Jared says when reflecting on his time in 4-H. From working hard to raise his pigs to cooperating with his siblings, 4-H provided Jared with many opportunities to develop strength of character. Fair week in particular helped Jared develop his character. During the fair, Jared remembers how important it was to be patient with his pigs if they weren’t cooperating and being responsible for walking them and preparing them for the show. One of Jared’s favorite memories from his ten years of 4-H is when he won Reserve Grand Champion Gilt and Fourth Overall Barrow in the same year. Jared notes, however, that “being humble when we were fortunate enough to win” is one of the ways his character was shaped by participating in the Wabash County 4-H program.
Dylan Brubaker School: Manchester Parents: Boyd & Anita Brubaker Future Plans: Currently employed at IMD Orthopedics in Warsaw and considering attending a work-related technical school 4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves Favorite 4-H Projects: Goats 4-H Grows Resiliency: Dylan identified resiliency as a key skill that he developed during his ten years in 4-H. “What we do does not define who we are,” says Dylan, “what defines us is how we rise after falling. I learned that even after working to get my goats ready, sometimes it just wasn’t good enough. I could have given up when I didn’t place where I wished, but I always told myself that there is always next year.” Dylan’s favorite 4H memories include hanging out with friends in the barns during fair week and working in the FFA trailer. Dylan also enjoyed his experiences in the show ring: “I will never forget the feeling of winning my class for the first time! It is not all about winning, but it sure feels good when you finally do. The harder you work for something, the greater you will feel when you achieve it,” says Dylan.
Makayla Joy Bechtold School: Southwood Parents: Brian & Teresa Bechtold Future Plans: Attend Indiana Wesleyan University to study Design for Social Impact 4-H Club: Crimson Clovers Favorite 4-H Projects: Arts and Crafts, Pygmy Goats, Sewing, Swine 4-H Grows Time Management: Makayla’s involvement in other clubs and sports forced her to develop strong time management skills in order to get her 4-H projects completed on time. Makayla says, “I’ve done sewing for ten years now and that takes a lot of time and patience. I have learned to manage my time wisely so that I get my projects done on time.” Makayla’s time management skills have also helped her with balancing school and sports. She says, “I like to get my homework and projects done early and on time because I have practices and games almost every night.” Strong time management skills will be an asset for Makayla when she begins her studies at Indiana Wesleyan. As she reflects on her time in 4-H, one of Makayla’s favorite memories is going to the state fair for sewing fashion revue the past two years.

Spring’s King! THE PAPER
May 15, 2019
Anybody who's been reading my column for any length of time knows my affection for asparagus is deeply rooted in childhoodthanks to Mom! Earthy, elegant, aromatic and extraordinary to those who like it, asparagus has a unique flavor that may be an acquired taste for some, has so many amazing abilities to heal the body that it is well-worth developing an appetite for some! Healthy and hearty, asparagus is a nutrient-dense food that is high in folic acid, and a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and vitamin C, and thiamine, too. Packed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties too, asparagus has been used as a medicinal vegetable for more than 2,500 years. The list of its benefits is long: heart, kidneys, bladder, digestion, bones and more, and extensive research has this Laura spear-shaped, spring sprout a true king that crowns us with its ability to reduce the effect of cell-damaging free radicals. Containing virtually no fat and harboring around five calories per spear, asparagus also packs two grams of protein, four grams of carbohydrates and zero sodium as well. My mom’s favorite way to enjoy this king of
HOMETOWN TABLE
spring was too lightly steam it with a little bit of sugar in the water to give it extra sweetness and a touch of salt, because salt make sweet taste sweeter! Over the years I have learned that farm stand asparagus is far more flavorful and fresh than anything you find in the store. However, its season is very-short-lived in the Midwest so, you have to get creative with keeping this king of spring around longer. One way I have learned is to simply blanch it for 30 seconds and then plunge it into an ice bath until it is chilled, then place on clean dish towels to dry. Once dry, I place the spears on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and pop them in the freezer until they are frozen stiffabout 4 hours. Then I transfer them into freezer containers that allow me to remove all the air, using vacuum or by hand. I Kurella make sure to place the spears in another, rigid container to keep them from getting beat up while hanging out in my freezer. By preparing farm-fresh asparagus this way, you can enjoy the spring harvest all the way to Christmas, if you like! Here now are a few new, nutty ways to add more special flavor to this awesome King of spring -ENJOY!
I thought I had tasted all the best ways to have asparagus - until I had it with a creamy cashew sauce – oh my! Food stylist and Photographer: Laura Kurella

Meanwhile, stir then strain shrimp out of hot water and into the pot on stove. Combine well and gently heat through. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.

Fabulous Creamy Cashew-Asparagus Flatbread Prep Time: 20 minutes. Cook Time: 15 minutes. Total Time: 35 minutes Serves: 8. 2 whole grain flatbreads (Naan) 1 cup raw cashews, soaked and drained* 1/2 cup water 1-2 garlic cloves, depending on size Juice of 1 lemon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 bunch asparagus, shaved into strips using a vegetable peeler 3 green onions, finely chopped 1/4 cup fresh dill, optional Pinch crushed red pepper, optional Olive oil and/or balsamic for drizzling Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Add more water as needed to create desired consistency. Remove flatbread from the oven. Divide sauce between the two flatbreads, spreading it out evenly, then top with shaved asparagus, green onion and crushed red pepper. Return to oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until heated through. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh dill and a drizzle of oil or balsamic vinegar, if desired.

Trim woody ends off asparagus. If necessary, peel the bottom of each stalk to make more then set aside. On a sheet of heavy-duty or a double layer of aluminum foil, place the asparagus tips standing up and crimp the foil around them at the bottom so that they remain standing. Add the butter on top of the spears, and continue to crimp the foil closely around the spears, sealing it closed at the top. Place in the oven and roast until barely tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a spice grinder or food processor, pulse cashews into a fine powder then place ground cashews into a small saucepan. Add milk and 1/3 cup water.

Ask the Landscaper... Attracting Hummingbirds to the Garden By Leesa Metzger
Hummingbirds are attracted to a garden that includes open spaces, allowing them to move freely from one nectar source to another. A yard that's one-fourth shaded, one-fourth partially shaded, and the rest in open sun is ideal. Most favored flowers for hummingbirds grow in full sun. Curved beds and borders allow hummingbirds to approach blooms from several sides. Keep shorter flowers in front of tall ones to give hummingbirds easy access to their favorite flowers. Hummingbirds actually spend most of their day quietly perched in trees or shrubs. However, to maintain their high metabolism, which is the highest of any warm-blooded animal except shrews, they must feed every 10-15 minutes. One hummingbird can visit hundreds of flowers each day in search of food. Providing places for hummingbirds to perch can keep them in your yard. Males perch almost anywhere in the open --
on twigs, clotheslines, and overhead wires. Females and immature birds prefer to remain hidden among trees, shrubs, and vines. At night when they can't feed or when they enter a period of stress, hummingbirds have the unusual ability to slow their body functions, calming their heartbeat from as many as 1,260 beats per minute to 50. If your yard space is limited, consider plants that do double duty for food and shelter, such as honeysuckle, weigela, flowering quince, and beautybush. The best flowers are tubular, scentless, brightly colored (often red, orange, or blue), and grow where it's easy for the birds to hover and sip. Some flowers are shaped to accommodate short or long bills of specific hummingbird species. Easy to grow perennials such as daylilies, coralbells, catnip, and salvia are all hummingbird favorites. Variety is key to hummingbird happiness, too. Try to offer many different kinds of flowers over the longest possible season. They're not par-
Leesa Metzger ticular about differentiating between annuals, perennials, and vines. Besides providing nectar-producing plants, you can offer nutrition from a hum-
mingbird feeder. The standard hummingbird feeder recipe closely approximates flower nectar: 4 parts water 1 part sugar To make food for hummingbirds, first mix the ingredients. Bring to a boil and then cool before filling the feeder. Store extra solution in the freezer; thaw to use in the next cycle. Don't substitute sugar with honey in the hummingbird feeder recipe; the solution spoils quicker and may contain bacteria that can
cause a fatal fungal disease. Also avoid artificial sweeteners for the hummingbird recipe: They provide no calories and hummingbirds need lots of calories to keep them going. Adding red food coloring to the hummingbird feeder recipe is unnecessary; most hummingbird feeders are made from red plastic or glass to help attract the birds. Also, chemicals in the food coloring may be harmful to the birds' health. Clean hummingbird
feeders at least once every three days in hot weather or every week in cool weather so harmful bacteria doesn't build up. Compost any unused hummingbird food and rinse the feeder with water. If you see mold, add a splash of vinegar and grains of uncooked rice to the water and shake vigorously to dislodge it. Remove the vinegar and rice and rinse carefully with clean, warm water. If you see any remaining dark spots, scrub them off with a tooth-
brush or bottle brush. If your hummingbird feeder is going unvisited, pay attention. It's probably because your hummingbird feeder recipe sugar solution has gone bad. Clean the feeder carefully, refill with fresh sugar-water, and offer it again. Contrary to popular belief, hummingbirds can't survive on nectar or sugar solutions alone. Insects are an essential source of protein. It is best to offer natural nectar from blooming plants in your garden and landscaping. Stop by M e t z g e r Landscaping’s Garden Center in North Manchester on State Road 13 to find a huge variety of perennials, annuals, and flowering shrubs that hummingbirds will love to visit in your yard! The Metzger Garden Center staff will be happy to help you choose the right plants for your project.
