Barrows named 2019 Distinguished Citizen

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

As Bill Barrows sat at his table at the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall on Thursday night, Oct. 10, he listened intently as 2018 Distinguished Citizen Larry Curless began reading the details of the 2019 award winner during the Grow Wabash County annual dinner.

“I was scanning the room trying to figure out who it would be,” Barrows told The Paper of Wabash County. “All of a sudden, it all sounded very familiar. When it got to the subject of fastpitch softball, it was more than coincidental.”

Moments later, Curless unveiled to those who had not yet figured it out, that Barrows was the 2019 Distinguished Citizen. After making his way to the Legacy Hall stage, he was joined by his family, noting “my wife is supposed to be out of town.”

In addition to Barrows being honored as Distinguished Citizen, Oji Intertech was honored as 2019 Business of the Year.

“I am extremely humbled,” Barrows told the 300 peop l e attending the annual d i n n e r. “ N e v e r, ever, ever have I e v e r remotely

dreamed or thought about this.

“I don’t know what to say, other than thank you to everyone who had anything to do with this.

Wow. All of the things that Larry talked about, I have done. And there’s a lot of other things we don’t want to talk about.

“But I really appreciate this.”

Curless, during his introduction speech, noted that Barrows was born in Peru and moved with his family to Wabash when he was a youngster.

After graduating from Wabash High School, he received a degree from Purdue University.

“This individual had many hobbies and diverse interests – which always seemed to be directed toward sports – notably baseball,” Curless continued. “this unknown individual became a sports broadcaster of baseball, basketball and football. As time went on just talking about sports was not enough; involvement was needed. The satisfaction of being actively involved as a coach and administrator of youth sports led him to a true sense of who he was meant to be.”

Barrows also has served on numerous boards and committees, including the Wabash Chamber of Commerce, Wabash Marketplace Inc., the Streetscape Committee, the Wabash Service Board, the Wabash Plan Commission and the YMCA boards.

“He will be revealed by his involvement as a fast-pitch softball player under coach Bob Vanlandingham,” Curless said. “(He) also was Mr. Alumni of Wabash High School in 1999. That same year he was inducted into the Mid-America Baseball hall of Fame and was instrumental in creating the Chris Rood Memorial Baseball Tournament.”

In 2018, Barrows was one of 38 people from Indiana chosen to participate in a fellowship entitled “The Journey,” honoring those who work to service youth. He also worked to help creContinued on Page 6

Thousands are expected to converge on Paradise Spring Historical Park on Saturday for the 17th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off.

“Our team count and our preevent fundraising is right on part with last year,” Cook-off Committee chair Todd Titus told The Paper of Wabash County. “I think we’ll be somewhere around 90 teams the day of.

“They can still register that day. If anyone is interested, we’ll have room.”

Teams will be located both north and south of the Norfolk Southern Railroad track.

In addition to eating chili, there will be several other things for participants to do.

ABATE will have its interactive display for youngsters, Titus said, and Jeannie Cooper will have arts and crafts projects for youngsters to do.

Teams can begin setting up their various booths on Friday.

Site locations will be unveiled at 8 a.m. Friday.

Cooking will begin immediately at 8:30 a.m. following a meeting of the head cooks.

Gates to Paradise Spring will be open at 11 a.m., with tasting to begin at noon and will continue until chili runs out.

“We would encourage people to come early and stay as long as they wish,” Titus said.

During its first 16 years, Chili for Charity has given away $568,000 to 69 different charities in Wabash County. Funds also were given to an Army unit in the Middle East wanting to host Continued on page 9

Academy Award nominee John Corso remembered

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com John Corso, a Wabash High School graduate who went on to become one of the leading production designers in Hollywood, has passed away.

Mr. Corso passed away Oct. 9 at Parkview Huntington Hospital. He was 89.

A 1948 WHS graduate, Mr. Corso was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in the Loretta Lynn biopic “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” He also won an Emmy Award for his work on “Tales of the Gold Monkey.”

Mr. Corso attended Indiana University and received a bachelor’s degree in theater arts from UCLA in Los Angeles, Calif.

He worked as production designer for several Alfred Hitchcock movies, and several John Hughes films including “Uncle Buck,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Breakfast Club,” “Weird Science,” “16 Candles,” and “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.” He also worked as art director on television shows “Ironside” and

“Columbo” and worked with Sylvester Stallone in “Paradise Alley” and on “Xanadu,” with Gene Kelly as the director.

Following his retirement, he returned to Wabash where he was active in a number of local organizations, including the Wabash Area Community Theater and the Wabash County Historical Museum, where he helped design the facility’s train set layout.

SHS teacher discusses externship with MSD board

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Southwood High School teacher Kari Johnson gave a presentation Tuesday, Oct. 8, to the Metropolitan School District board about an externship she had.

Johnson is a Business Teacher at Southwood High School and chose to do her internship at The Progress House in Indianapolis. The Progress House is not for profit men’s residential home for men recovering from addiction.

Johnson said she chose a not for profit for her externship because there are more than 1.5 million not for profits in the United States.

“The current business curriculum that we have at Southwood doesn’t really address not for profits at all,” said Johnson.

“I have always really struggled with that because I think that they are a huge part of our economy, it’s a great way for people to give back to the community, and there are tons of opportunities that exist in that field.”

Johnson expressed that it was a struggle to get her choice of business approved for the externship because it was not what was originally envisioned for the program.

“What I love though, is that not for profits are still going to encompass all the regular parts of a business anyway, it’s just about where their profits are going.”

Johnson chose this specific not for profit because she has observed a great need for an organization such as The Progress House right here in Wabash County.

This externship not only gave Johnson insight to how to teach about not for profits, but also helped her understand how to continue her role as president of New Beginnings here in Wabash.

Johnson plans to integrate her experience and learnings into her classroom by, first, exposing her students to the world of not for profits, and secondly adding research projects and internships that center around not for profits into her curriculum. She also plans to bring not for profits, such as the United Fund, come into her classroom and talk to her students about some of the things they do including the Blessings in a Backpack program.

“One other thing I am trying to put together is a service day where we pick a not for profit and then me and my kids leave the classroom for a day and we go out and just give back to the

Before

community,” Johnson said.

Also, on Tuesday the board: Presented the staff spotlight award to SHS administrative assistant, Lisa Berry for being a hard worker and knowing all the students.

Recognized Sharp Creek Elementary teachers, Tara Haupert and Shelly Myers for their work together in providing a pen pal opportunity with students from Sand Creek Elementary near Indianapolis.

Recognized Emma Wynn for shooting a 35, which is one under par performance at Elwood Golf Links during a match with Elwood. Her score set a new school record.

Recognized Shelly Faust for her recent contributions to the AP Testing Program and an AP Test Reader.

Heard the superintendent’s report that included that the S o u t h w o o d Elementary Preschool program now has a Paths to Quality rating of a three.

The meeting ended with some tension as discussion was had about the board president denying a presentation for the meeting without consulting the other board members. From now on, considerations for presentations will be discussed as a board before decisions are made.

Randel named ‘20 Riley Champion

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Jace Randel, a 16 year-old sophomore at Northfield High School student, received recognition as the 2020 Riley Champion and was honored at the Metropolitan School Board meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 8.

People are able to nominate patients of Riley Children’s Hospital between the ages of 8-18 to be considered to be Riley Champions.

The patients who are selected are Riley advocated and they must demonstrate the spirit of Chad Keown, a young man who passed away while serving as a Riley Champion.

Keown overcame many obstacles and challenges, all while keeping a positive attitude and a giving and helpful heart.

Jace was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia at the age of 11 which meant that his bone marrow would not be able to make enough white blood cells for his

body.

Thankfully, Jace’s older sister, Audrie, was a match for a bone marrow transplant, which left Jace in Riley for 53 days.

“When a family friend raised money for his care, Jace requested that the funds be given instead to Riley Children’s Foundation,” said Susan Miles, officer of Kids Caring and Sharing.

This act of kindness is one of the examples of why Jace was selected as a Riley Champion.

“Jace will be an ambassador for Riley as he shares his personal Riley story with other Riley families,” said Miles.

Jace was also awarded a gift basket from Kroger, who sponsors the Riley Champion program.

Later this month, all Riley Champions will be honored as “Coin Toss Kids” at an Indianapolis Colt’s football game and then in November, be officially named Riley Champions at the Be The Hope Now luncheon.

MU alumnus issues challenge for stadium From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — As a record-breaking tight end for the Spartan football team in the

mid-1980s, Todd Saylor knows how much alumni support can mean to student-athletes.

An Angola native, Saylor is challenging others to help raise

money for a new athletic stadium for M a n c h e s t e r University by matching gifts up to $100,000.

“When you think about a journey, think about life, you think about the people who are important to you and how that molds you and what you’re going to become,” said Saylor, who was inducted into the M Club Athletic Hall of Fame at Manchester in 2015. He graduated in 1987.

Saylor, a business major at Manchester, is CEO of PayServ Systems, which d e v e l o p e d Workforcethrive, a cloud-based payroll and human capital

management service used nationally. He is also owner of Tom’s Donuts in Angola.

His success started at Manchester, he said, because of the people. “When you go to a school like Manchester, you’re in a moment when people are shaping you and you’re not even aware of it. My purpose with the donation is to fuel the journey for others, as was done for me and so many others.”

He is married to Manchester alumna Traci Foltz Saylor, who graduated in 1986.

The Manchester Board of Trustees at its May meeting voted to move for-

The fundraising continues, said President Dave McFadden, but Manchester cannot wait any longer to get this important project started.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the stadium is 9 a.m.

Saturday, Oct. 12, during Homecoming.

In addition to the Saylor Press Box, the new stadium will feature artificial turf widely used in university and professional stadiums that allows teams to practice outside from early spring to late fall, relieving demand on the

school’s Physical Education and Recreation Center.

The current football field is used only about 50 hours a year, while the new stadium will be used at least 1,500 hours a year, according to Rick Espeset, MU athletic director.

“You create a space that is used yearround and is used by all types of people.

It’s not just football, it’s intramurals, it’s PE classes, it’s the community. … What I’ve seen when I go to other facilities, there’s always somebody doing something,” he said.

With artificial turf, the University will also save money on maintenance, which currently takes about 240 hours a year.

The facility, with a modern Olympicsized outdoor track around the field’s perimeter, will allow Manchester to host major track and field events, elevating the University’s profile and attracting more visitors to the campus and North Manchester community.

The project includes seating for Spartan fans and visitors, a concession area and restrooms.

For more information, or to make a gift to the stadium, contact Melanie Harmon, vice president for advancement, at mbharmon@manchester.ed u, or make a gift at https://17632.thank you4caring.org/giving

Group launches $1M campaign

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A $1 million “Growth Starts Here” campaign kicked off Thursday, Oct. 10, during the Grow Wabash County annual dinner.

Campaign chair Parker Beauchamp said the organization plans to raise the funds over the next four years.

“We are launching this $1 million campaign with one vision in mind – to be the model of small town America,” he said. “this campaign will help us confront the big picture issues we face head-on and allow us to fulfill our mission to ‘Grow a more prosperous Wabash County.’”

The funds, he told the 300 people gathered at the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall, will be used to help Grow Wabash County build

organizations and causes as a company, the firm gives each employee two days a year in which they are able to volunteer for those causes close to them.

Sereno said that in preparing his remarks, he reflected on the firm’s 20 years in North Manchester.

He highlighted many of the products that the firm helps to produce and noted that automotive parts produced in North Manchester “are shipped around North America and the world on a daily basis.”

“Having said all that, none of that would have been possible without the support of this community,” he continued.

In 1996, he said, company officials met with then Mayor Robert McCallen Jr. to explain what the firm was looking for in a site.

“Before I could complete my sentence,

Mayor Robert McCallen jumped across the table, grabbed my hand and said, ‘Son, you have come to the right place,” Sereno reflected. “We chose a plot of ground in North Manchester’s newly developed industrial park. The State of Indiana and the local community made us offers in terms and abatements on the land building and property that we simply could not refuse.”

During the recession, the state and county offered training grants, which the firm used to partner with Purdue University to develop additional skills. In its most recent expansion, the state and county offered more training grants and abatements to help the firm.

However, none of the firm’s success would have been possible without its workforce, Sereno said.

on mission of livability, workforce development, business development, entrepreneurship and investor services.

Projects on developing strategies to combat population decline, developing a shell building, facilitating new housing starts, training workers for high-demand jobs, supporting foreign direct investment and development of a new international sister city relationship.

“We are excited to launch our ‘Growth Starts Here’ campaign,” Grow Wabash County president and CEO Keith Gillenwater said. “When Grow Wabash County was formed, our vision was to tackle the largest issues facing our community and this campaign will provide much of the seed funding to move these initiatives forward.”

“You don’t often hear it said, but this community and the people who live in it and around it still value work,” he said.

“The work ethic, and the general sense of fairness that resides through our local workforce, has allowed us to develop new technologies, to launch new products into new markets, and improve all aspects of our business on a daily basis.”

On stage with Sereno were two Daruma dolls which Japanese citizens have used for centuries to wish good luck, child birth and prosperity. He invited Callahan to color in the left eye on one of the dolls, to wish for continued prosperity for the State of Indiana, Wabash County and Oji Intertech.

The left eye was colored, Sereno explained, because in the Japanese seating arrangements, the left is more important than the right. One eye was only colored to signify opening one’s mind up.

“In closing, I would like to thank our grandparent compa-

ny, Oji Holdings, and our parent company, Oji Intertech, for their many years of support,” he said in closing. “I would also like to thank Mr. Irikura for being with us here tonight. I would also like to thank all of our current and past employees, the county of Wabash, the State of Indiana, and all of you for coming here tonight to celebrate with us and all the other award winners tonight.

“So, Wabash and Indiana,” he said, lifting up one of the Daruma dolls above his head, “to another 20 years of prosperity.”

In another presentation, Gary Larson, CFO of Ford Meter Box and treasurer of the Grow Wabash County Board of Directors was honored as the 2019 Volunteer of the Year.

To end the evening, three Oji employees led the crowd in a traditional Japanese “tejime” that involved clapping and bringing the gathering to a positive and happy close.

is very proud that he is part of our history and will continue to enjoy and build on the legacy he left behind.”

Two of the local productions he worked on were Susan Jones’ musicals “Wait ‘til You Get to Wabash” and “Light Up the Town.”

Both sets were donated to WACT. “John Corso was one of the nicest gentlemen I’ve known,” Jones said. “He was gentle, kind, smart, talented and very generous.

“In 2003, when the committee that was producing my first play, “Wait ’til You Get

to Wabash,” needed someone to design the set, they decided to start by asking the best. So we called John and he agreed to read the script. The next day he called and said, ‘I’m going to build you a canal boat!’”

Mr. Corso and two of his friends, Dennis Conliff and Chuck Dwyer, spent three months in Duke Davis’s factory building a beautiful 39-foot canal boat that was strong enough to support a dancing cast of 35, Jones continued.

The boat had two decks and the front pushed out, split and opened up to allow the audience to see the action below deck.

“Once again, in 2016 we asked John to design the set for my new play, ‘Light Up the Town,’” she continued. “And once again he and Dennis Conliff agreed and started building.

Dennis passed away of cancer during the process and Bill Eppley became John’s co-builder. The set was beautiful in every detail and functional.

Squires capture soccer title MHS needed OT to capture first championship CULVER — It was a game that Squire soccer fans will not soon forget.

After 90 minutes of play with out a winner and 14 more minutes of overtime, the Manchester Squire boys soccer team outscored Culver Academy 4-2 in penalty kicks for a 5-4 win to claim the program’s first sectional title.

The eighth-ranked Squires remained undefeated at 18-0 with the win and will compete for a regional title this Saturday at Oak Hill High School.

“This is awesome,” Manchester coach Dave McKee said. “I just stood there and watched all the players dog pile on Sam (Reichenbach) … and all the bleachers clear. I got real emotional.”

Reichenbach clinched the win with Manchester’s fourth goal on penalty kicks.

Both teams felt each other out over the first 15 minutes of play before the scoreboard started lighting up.

Harley Kruschwitz gave Manchester and early lead with a goal at the 23:16 mark by cutting through defenders and scoring unassisted for a 1-0 lead.

Four minutes later Kruschwitz took another shot that was saved, but Caleb Stout was there for the follow, giving the Squires a 2-0 lead with 19:22 left in the half.

Culver cut the lead to 2-1 with a goal at the 7:29 mark but Stout scored again 90 second later to get the Squire lead back to two goals at 3-1.

Culver made it 3-2 going into halftime with a goal with 1:40 left in the half.

The second half was played at a more deliberate pace with neither team finding the goal in the first 19 minutes.

Culver then tied the game up at 3-3 with a goal that got just past the fingertips of Manchester goalie Dillon Gish with 20:30 left in regulation.

The score remained 3-3 at the end of 90 minutes sending the game to two seven-minute overtime periods.

In the first overtime stretch, Kruschwitz scored with his left foot as he was slipping, putting the ball over the Culver keeper’s hands with 4:56 left.

In the second overtime period, Culver tied it up at 4-4 on a long free kick that hit the post and bounced in with 5:53 left. The score remained 44 and the teams went to penalty kicks.

Manchester started the rotation with Justin Self scoring for a 1-0 lead.

“This is probably the toughest sectional we’ve had,” McKee said. “We drew a strong team first in Canterbury, and we played Marion the week before that really helped us so much.

“These guys have worked hard to get this.”

Manchester improved to 18-0 and will face 12th-ranked Leo at 10 a.m. at the Oak Hill Regional.

DAR chapter honors Revolutionary War veteran Article provided The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at the Roann (Paw Paw Township) Public Library, Roann.

Guests were Priscilla Burdge, Ellie Draper, Barbara Burdge, Mike Beauchamp, Rob Burgess and eight members.

The meeting opened with the DAR ritual.

Devotions centered on the fall harvest given by Tammy Wise, Chaplain.

The October President General’s message from Denise Doring VanBuren was shared

by Joyce Joy. Denise invited members of the DAR Project Patriot Committee to wear RED on every Friday, to signify Remember Everyone Deployed. It’s a simple way that we can show support – in this case, to the men and women in uniform who are serving in an all-volunteer army to protect the freedoms that we enjoy as citi-

zens of these United States.

The National Defender Report was on different Dates of Note in October. The Indian Committee Minute report was given by Jennifer Rose. Pat King gave the Conservation Minute on “You can help stop the spread

of invasives.” The Constitution Minute, shared by Willodean Tschantz, stated Constitution was written before political parties were a player in American politics. The Women’s Issue Minute was on the domestic violence signs that someone

may be abused given

by Tammy Wise.

The program was given by Dr. Barbara J. Burdge, Professor of Social Work, M a n c h e s t e r University, on the life and history of Samuel Burdge; American Revolutionary War veteran buried in Wabash County, Paw

Paw Township, Stockdale Cemetery.

The chapter had a memorial service at the Stockdale Cemetery for the 175th anniversary of Samuel Burdge’s death in 1844 before the meeting.

The American flag and a wreath were placed in remembrance of his

sacrifices.

The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be on Nov. 12 at the Grandstaff-Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash. Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend. DAR membership is open to any woman 18 years of

age, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution.

Those having questions about their family history lineage information may contact www.dar.org or Linda Thompson at 260-563-4661 or Barbara Amiss at 260982-4376.

Visit Wabash County adds student intern Wabash High School senior Evelynn Gray has joined Visit Wabash County for the fall semester as the Visitor Services Intern.

Gray’s school and community activities include Wabash Varsity Swim, Soccer and Tennis teams, Secretary of the Senior Class for Student Council, Key Club, National Honors Society, Academic Teams, Wabash High School Extension Club, Apaches in Action Club, Athletic Student Council, and is a 10 year 4-H member.

“I have been very impressed with Evelynn’s work ethic and professionalism, and what she has been able to accomplish so far. She is an excellent addition to our team, and I am excited to

see her grow and develop in this position,” said Margie Justice, Visitor Services for Visit Wabash County.

The Visitor Services Intern is responsible for greeting and helping visitors, assisting with the oversight of the Welcome Center, merchandising, restocking brochure racks, assembling welcome/information bags, and Visitor Guide distribution.

“I knew I wanted to pursue business after I took the entrepreneurship class Wabash provided,” said Gray. “My class group began our own business and actually sold our product through the Welcome Center.

We met with Christine Flohr and from that point on I knew interning here would be a great opportunity.

“I am very excited to gain more experience working with people, learning how to work in an office environment, and making connections through my internship.”

After graduation, Gray plans on attending Indiana University Bloomington or Ball State and majoring in Business or Marketing.

“The student internship program is a great way for Visit Wabash County to engage active and dedicated young leaders, like Evelynn,” said Christine Flohr, Executive Director of Tourism. “She is very professional, task oriented, and eager to learn. She is a great addition to our team.”

Roann Lions have October meeting The Roann Lions Club met at the town hall on Thursday, Oct. 3. Rick Morris called the meeting to order.

The members and guests present then gave the pledge of allegiance to our American flag.

Donna Harman read the minutes of the August club meeting and Keith Ford gave the treasurer’s report. Both were approved as read.

Guest Steve Ford presented Keith and Rick with Lions Club pins from Presview, FL. It is a custom of Lions Clubs to give out their club pins to other club’s members.

In old business, Keith reported the club sold almost 3,000 donuts in three days during the festival.

The Lions Club paid for half of the fireworks display for the July 4 weekend events. The cost is split with the Roann Covered Bridge Festival.

Work on the caboose continues, there has been approximately 730 hours put in so far in restoring the caboose.

Recently they welded pieces on the caboose to secure the caboose to the track. The next

goal is to restore the inside. Members hope to have this completed by next spring. It was estimated that 200 people went through the caboose during the festival. This is a great addition to the touring sites in and around Roann.

Donna gave a recap of the Roann Covered Bridge Festival in September. We felt everything went very well other than the rain on Sunday. But after last year’s wash out, the weather was a blessing for three days of the festival.

Starting next year the festival will be shortened to a three day festival, Thursday through Saturday.

New business: Guest speakers at the meeting were Ms. Tenille Vartman and Ms. Julie Garber.

They presented a slide program of the population decline of Wabash County. Why it is happening and what can we do to help bring people back. They said in the 1980’s the population peaked but since then it has continued to decline, as most counties surrounding Wabash County in the last 17 years. But, again, so has sur-

rounding counties.

Several questions and concerns for the county were brought up after the presentation.

Tenille and Julie said they were very good questions and was thankful for the good feedback. Phil Dale also talked about the fact that Wabash County is sometime in the near future going to build a new jail. With so many government regulations, the present jail is not feasible in cost to build onto. The jail was built to hold 87 inmates and most of the time they have 130. Plus the ones we pay for that are sent to Miami County because we have no room.

In other business coming up, Rick shared that John Heeter has purchased the two buildings adjacent to his business. He is going to have RC (radio/remote) car races in the buildings. (cont. on page 10B)

Go Coconuts!

I have some of the best memories of coconuts from childhood because, mind you, I was a kid in the 1960’s and when you got coconut, you got the actual coconut, not something in a plastic bag that’s been chemically treated to enhance its shelf life!

Dad always had the job of preparing it for us but he would let us kids hold the nail as he hammered it into the eyes to drain the water.

He always pounded two holes because he said one was needed as a vent to get the water to come out and, he was right!

(Note: The liquid in coconuts is not milk, its coconut water.)

Longing for the taste that Dad used to serve us personally, I decided to take a whack at one myself and I found that while cracking a coconut and removing the meat is quite the task, the benefits of this fruit are so vast that it is definitely worth it!

Rich in electrolytes and iron, coconut meat is also a good source of potassium.

Though high in saturated fat, it is a natural coconut oil that can enhance our immune systems, improve digestion, help our body absorb minerals and also improve our overall cholesterol ratio.

Its juice (or milk as it is sometimes called) is ironically identical to what’s floating around in our own bloodstream, making it just about the best source of electrolytes on earth!

Fresh coconut is different than the packaged stuff, offering a more aromatically rich depth of flavor that can enhance everything from Southeast Asian, Indian and Jamaican curries and stews to fruit salads, cakes, cookies and more.

Raw coconut is truly extraordinary and I highly recommend turning it into a family adventure!

Start by selecting a fresh coconut. Pick through the coconuts, looking to make sure there is no mold on the outside, especially where the eyes are.

Once you have found two coconuts that look good, pick them both up, one in each hand, then give them each a good shake. Whichever one feels heavier and has a louder sound of liquid sloshing around inside is the one you want to take home because it is the fresher of the two.

Once you have your own fresh coconut at home, your adventure begins!

Here now are some sweet ways for you and your family to go coconuts – ENJOY!

Fresh Coconut Cream Pie

Protein 5g.

1 (9 inch) pie shells, baked and cooled 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 cups milk, hot 3 egg yolks, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups coconut 1 cup whipping cream

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt; gradually add to milk, stirring until smooth.

Bring to a boil, stirring over medium heat and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir 1/2 of hot mixture into egg yolks then combine with rest

of the mixture in saucepan. Cook, stirring over low heat until boiling and thick enough to mound from spoon – about 5 minutes. Turn into bowl; stir in extract and half of coconut.

Place waxed paper directly on filling; refrigerate 1 hour. Turn into pie shell; refrigerate 3 hours.

To serve: Whip cream, and spread over filling; top with remaining coconut.

Approximate servings per recipe: 8.

Marvelous Macaroons 1 fresh coconut, grated* 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk *= 2 cups of dried, flaked or grated unsweetened coconut Preheat your broiler or grill to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, pour approximately 3/4 of the can of condensed milk. Add 1 1/2 cups of the coconut into the bowl and mix well.

Test mixture to see if it can form a ball with only a minimal amount of milk leak-

ing out. Add more coconut and milk until you achieve this sticktogether consistency then shape into 12 small balls or pyramids or 6 large ones.

Place on a pan then broil or grill for a few minutes, watching carefully because these will burn quickly!

When they are lightly patched with golden brown, pull them out and eat!

Blame my mother for me not being able to get through one single summer without baking a pie. Cool, creamy and oh-so-amazing, this coconut cream pie is even more amazing because I made it with fresh coconut and then got to eat this cool treat on a hot summer day – oh my! Food Stylist/ Photographer: Laura Kurella How to Prepare Fresh Coconut 1 fresh brown coconut Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pierce two of the softest eyes of coconut with a metal skewer, nail or screwdriver then use one of the holes to drain the coconut water out into a cup. Strain, cover and refrigerate water or drink it immediately for optimal nutrient benefit. Place coconut in the preheated oven, directly on the rack, and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove coconut from oven, wrap in an old towel, then place on a hard, non-marring

surface, such as the garage floor. Using a hammer or the back side of a heavy cleaver, tap the coconut firmly down the equator, turning the coconut several times as you rap, until you hear (and see) it crack open.

Using a flat-head screwdriver, or other kitchen utensil, wedge in between the meat and the shell to pry them apart. Leverage out the coconut meat from its shell, discarding shell.

Take a vegetable peeler and remove the skin of the meat, then grate or grind the coconut meat as you wish. For decoration, you can take a veg-

etable peeler and make thin strips, or grate the coconut with a metal grater into shreds or finely chop in a food processor.

Fresh coconut keeps, chilled, in an airtight container, for about one week in the refrigerator but in the freezer it will last you a good 3 months.

One coconut yields about 2 to 2 1/2 cups of desiccated coconut.

Grow Wabash County has staff changes Grow Wabash County has announced two additional staffing changes that have taken place in recent weeks.

The role of Project Manager –Investor Services and Marketing formerly held by Susan Street has been split into two separate positions that will be handled

by Diane England and Chelsea Boulrisse.

Street will be on extended maternity leave for the time being.

England, who previously served as Grow Wabash County’s Operations Manager, will add investor services to her job description, serving as Project Manager – Operations and Investor Services. She is responsible for providing ongoing support to Grow Wabash

County investors and the daily operations of the organization.

England said she enjoys working “with people and for people,” which best captures her interest in serving the communities of Wabash County.

Boulrisse is a new addition to the Grow Wabash County team, stepping in as Project Manager – Marketing and Events. She will

be responsible for expanding and distributing Grow Wabash County’s mission and goals while organizing the multiple annual events Grow Wabash County puts on every year.

Before Boulrisse came to Grow Wabash County, she wrote for the Wabash Plain Dealer and then Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly. She grew up in

Massachusetts, but moved to Wabash after graduating Roger Williams University in Rhode Island with a degree in journalism.

She is an active member of the Spikes and Bikes group in town which fills her free time with volleyball games and bike rides. She also coaches youth softball.

“I am so excited to be joining Grow

DIANE ENGLAND

CHELSEA BOULRISSE

Wabash County and serving the community I have come to call my home,” Boulrisse said. “I have been lucky enough to see Wabash transform into a thriving community and set an example for small towns everywhere.”

“On behalf of the

Grow Wabash County team, I’d like to welcome Chelsea and congratulate Diane on her new role with the organization. They are both imperative as we work to create a more prosperous Wabash County!” vice president Tenille Zartman said.

Downtown shops to extend hours In an effort to serve the community and out of town guests attending Ford Theater events, several downtown businesses will be extending their hours starting in October and continuing through December.

The “Open Late” campaign is a joint effort between Wabash Marketplace, The Honeywell Foundation, and downtown business owners.

Participating shops will be open until 7 pm on the following dates: October: 24, 25 November: 1, 8, 15, 17, 23, 24, 29, 30 December: 6, 7, 12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21 For more information regarding the Open Late campaign or to find out how you can become involved, please visit https://www.wabashmarketplace.org/dow ntown-district.html or call 260-563-0975.

Genealogical Society to meet on Oct. 21 Sarah Kirby will present “DNA Basics” to the Wabash County Genealo gical Society beginning at 6pm Monday, Oct. 21 at Wellbrooke of Wabash.

Her talk will explore what DNA can tell you about your ancestors

(and what it can’t).

Using Ancestry’s DNA tools, she will discuss how to use your results to find new relations and expand your tree.

Meetings are always open to the public and all are welcome.
