High winds cause damage around Wabash County

On Wednesday, June 10, 2020, a damaging storm made its way through Wabash County.

The storm has been deemed straight winds with no evidence that a tornado hit Wabash County, according to Chris Roller, meteorologist at the National Weather Service Northern Indiana office in Syracuse.

“We are always happy to look at the public’s videos or pictures if they have evidence of a tornado, but note that the later it gets from the event, the harder it will be to change the designation,” said Roller.

Areas with the most damage include North Manchester and Somerset areas.

Multiple trees were down including a tree that impacted a house.

In Somerset, there were four reported injuries that took place when a tree fell onto a car.

At this time the costs of damages have not been reported yet.

“That data can take a while to be compiled and then be disseminated,” Roller told The Paper.

Winds of 76 and 80 mph were reported from southern Miami County.

“That storm continued on into Wabash County, Roller said. “While I don’t have reports of 70+ mph winds being measured in Wabash county, I can’t rule out that gusts that high also impacted Wabash county.”

Rainfall from this storm totaled between a quarter and a half inch within the thunderstorms. Because the storm moved so fast, there was not a lot of time to rain in any one area. There are reports of rain coming down hard enough to reduce visibility.

In the northern part of Wabash County, winds took down a portion of a hog barn on the Dale Farm.

Family members scrambled to find other locations for the hogs to stay due to the damage.

The family, in a message on Facebook, wrote, “Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and offers to help. We have located a facility that will hold all of the hogs. It means so much to have the support of so many people in this wonderful community. Thanks again.”

Meanwhile, the home of John Joy barely escaped major damage when several trees and branches near the home were knocked down by the wind.

Joy was home when the storm hit. He said he was watching television when the storm alert came on. After looking out the window, he said he decided to head to his basement when he heard the storm hit.

The trees and branches missed the home, built in 1845, by mere inches.

The only real damage to the structure was to a downspout which was knocked off the home.

The same can’t be said for a former barn that was at the rear of Joy’s property.

The storm demolished the structure, which Joy used today as a storage shed. He said the only thing housed in the shed was his riding lawnmower, which could still be seen through the rubble.

Joy said he tried to inspect the mower and reported that he thinks it is salvageable. The tires are still inflated and he doesn’t believe the debris did too much damage to the mower.

After the barn was damaged, the Dales had to find places to house some of the hogs on their farm. Photos by Eric Christiansen

Drug committee plans Hope House fundraiser The Wabash County Drug Steering Committee, Hope House Ministry, Inc.,

and the Community Foundation of Wabash County announce plans to

locate a transitional home for women in Wabash County.

Currently, Wabash

County has no transitional housing for women in recovery.

The lack of safe, stable, sober, and structured housing poses a barrier for many women who could benefit from the support and safety transitional homes provide.

In 2019, Grant County residents Shane Beal, Tia Brewer, and Brian Blevins, recognized the need for transitional homes and put their minds together to create homes for people recovering from substance use disorder. The homes, called Hope House, opened their doors to the community in March 2020, in Marion. The opening was met with donations and accolades from the public, because of the community’s longexpressed desire to

have a place that provided safety, structure, and support to individuals in their recovery process.

Meanwhile, in Wabash County, the Wabash County Drug Steering Committee had been investigating models for transitional homes. In discussing how the committee found Hope House, Marilyn Custer-Mitchell, President of Parkview Wabash Hospital and member of the committee said, “When we discovered Hope House, we discovered that their mission and vision were similar to ours – focusing on supporting, assisting, and guiding women as they recover from addiction. They have done in Grant County, exactly what we want to do in Wabash County. We are thrilled to welcome

Shane and Tia’s outstanding program to Wabash County.”

Today, Beal, and Brewer, in a partnership with the Wabash County Drug Steering Committee, seek to open the first transitional home for women in Wabash County. To raise proceeds for a Hope House, a fundraiser called Hope House Under the Stars, will take place on Sunday, June 28, from 8to 11 p.m. at the 13-24 Drive-In Theater located at 890 N, IN-13 in Wabash.

The event is free to the community and anyone interested in learning more about Hope House is encouraged to attend.

“The Lego Batman Movie” will be showing and children are encouraged to dress as their favorite superhero. Gates open at 8 p.m. and the

movie will begin at approximately 9:35 p.m. Raffle winners will be announced before the movie. A fund at the Community Foundation has been established to receive contributions. All free-will donations will be directed to the Hope House Fund and will be used to sponsor rooms, pay salaries, and provide meals and recoveryrelated programming for women living in the home.

Recovery homes are truly invaluable in providing residents the opportunity to build self-worth, self-empowerment, and self-efficiency. In speaking about the Hope House on “Now Hear This,” an Indianapolis podcast hosted by Chris Spangle, Brewer said, “Recovery homes provide a bridge between active addiction, early recovery, and a life-long recovery process long past when individuals leave Hope House.”

At a Hope House, residents have the unique opportunity to focus on their lives and rebuild relationships with the support and accountability of other “likeminded” women with similar goals and challenges.

In speaking about the need for a transitional home in Wabash County, Sarah Lochner, Director of Court Services at Wabash County Court Services said, “Witnessing our clients battle substance use and addiction without the benefit of safe, stable housing is devastating. When clients first get started, they are often looking for help and are motivated for significant change. However, the lack of safe housing with like-minded people can diminish that motivation in an instant. It begins to Continued on Page 3

4-H Junior Leaders launches fundraiser

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Junior Leaders, a facet of 4-H is a program for 4-H members in grades 7-12 which focuses on the development of leadership skills, as well as service learning and fellowship.

During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, Junior Leader members have seen the effects of the virus in many ways.

“We have not been able to go out and serve our community like in the past years,” Blake Huston, president of the Wabash County Junior Leaders, told The Paper of Wabash County. “We would have had monthly meeting and services projects. However, we are having zoom meetings and planning the rest of the

year out. Hopefully, we will be able to have a great rest of the year, with service projects, fun, and educational meeting.”

Although many of their normal activities are not happening currently, Huston said that he and his fellow Junior Leader members are continuing to learn and grow during this time.

“We are learning and will continue to learn, patience and greater service for our friends and neighbors.

Patience is teaching us how to slow down and take time for ourselves.

Greater service is teaching us to check on your friends and family, sending a letter/ thank you note to someone you know and care about.”

Another project that the members are focusing on currently is a fundraiser for a new concessions trail-

Hope House feel impossible for the clients to overcome some of the challenges they might face when living house to house or returning to living environments that don’t promote sobriety. For women specifically, when our best option requires them to move to another community, sometimes away from their children, and oftentimes without transportation- we see the motivation wane. Having a home in Wabash where women can learn to live safely within their community- and grow a community of recovery- will have significant impact.

We’re so grateful to Hope House, and specifically Shane and Tia. Their work with our proactive courts as Recovery Coaches has already made a difference for our clients. I have no doubt that their guid-

ance for a recovery home will have the same impact.”

To learn more about Hope House, the public is invited to attend Hope House Under the Stars on June 28th. Any donations for the Wabash County Hope House collected during or after the event will be directed to the Community Foundation and used to sponsor rooms, pay salaries, and provide meals and recoveryrelated programming for women living in the home. The Community Foundation of Wabash County will be processing donations and administering the Hope House Fund. All donations are tax deductible. To make a donation, you can visit www.cfwabash.org or mail a check to the Community Foundation located at 105 West Second

“One thing t h a t has helped us along the way is community support, with being able to do appreciation dinners, assisting with Ag Day, and being able to teach many youths in and around Wabash County about Animal Biosecurity, Fluid Power, Plant Biosecurity and many more fun, exciting and educational lessons,” said Huston.

“In order to continue with these activities and educational learnings, the Junior Leaders are seeking monetary contributions for a new concession trailer.”

The concession trailer will be used for many fundraising events throughout the year at street fairs, festivals, Wabash First Fridays, Wabash County 4-H Fair and

In the past this has included all active and nonactive service men and women.”

Officials from Grow Wabash County have announced that they have secured $15,000 in grant funding from Duke Energy on behalf of Heartland Career Center (HCC).

The Duke Energy Powerful Communities Grant focuses on developing workforce development training programs, namely ones that provide opportunities for under-represented, low income residents.

“The Heartland Career Center can change the future for lowincome, unemployed workers and their families by giving them skills that lead to good jobs,” said Kevin Johnston, Duke Energy community relations manager for Wabash County. “Workforce development efforts like this are one of the priorities of our company’s shareholder-funded foundation.”

The $15,000 awarded to Grow Wabash County will be utilized to help HCC build a 35,000 sq.-ft Adult Certification Learning Center that will house a variety of adult vocational training programs that are based on local workforce needs.

“We are honored to once again

partner with Duke Energy on supporting another great project in Wabash County,” said Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County. “The expansion of the Heartland Career Center to allow for additional programming in advanced manufacturing and health care, along with new adult education opportunities fills a great need for not only our residents but our business community as well. We would like to thank Duke Energy, the Duke Energy Foundation, the team at Heartland Career Center, and everyone who has had a hand in bringing this project to fruition.”

Some of the funds will also help HCC purchase the necessary course materials and equipment to provide students a high-quality training experience that will help them transition seamlessly into gainful employment.

“The Learning Center will positively impact unemployed or underemployed populations in our region and will in turn help families and business and industry,” Mark Hobbs, director of Heartland Career Center, said.

“We are grateful for community partners like Duke Energy for their support of our efforts in gathering financial matching dollar support as we continue to feel optimistic about the $5 million federal grant we are pursuing.”

Grow Wabash County thanks Duke Energy for their continued partnership and their enthusiastic support for the many big-picture initiatives in Wabash County that are creating new and impactful opportunities for all Wabash County residents.

MU names new VP for academic affairs Celia Cook-Huffman has returned to her alma mater, Manchester University, as vice president for academic affairs.

Coming to Manchester as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded presented novel challenges, such as building relationships while remaining physically distant – hanging out with Student Senate members via Zoom and attending virtual meetings with colleagues.

“In this unprecedented moment of challenge, the Manchester community has been welcoming and supportive – not at all surprising. I have deeply appreciated the resilience of the community working together to respond to the emerging crisis, always focused on supporting students so they could successfully complete the semester.”

She graduated from Manchester in 1986, with a bachelor’s degree in peace studies and conflict resolution, followed in 1988 by a master’s degree in peace studies from the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame.

Her 1993 doctorate in social conflict theory is an interdisciplinary social science degree from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University in Syracuse, N.Y. “I am honored to return to Manchester.

The education I received here was truly transformative. I look forward to being part of the Manchester journey for this next generation of students.”

Cook-Huffman comes to Manchester from Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa. She began her professional academic career at Juniata in 1990, where she was a faculty member in peace and conflict studies and associate director of the Baker Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies. In 2015, she became assistant provost of the small liberal arts college.

White’s forms Workforce Development team

In March, Wilson Nettleton, a North Manchester native, contacted the Community Foundation with the idea of creating Wander Wabash County T-shirts to benefit Wabash County needs.

Nettleton, a current Ball State student studying Entrepreneurship Management and the founder of The Wander Brand and DonaTees, established his apparel company in January 2020 with the mission of inspiring people to fulfill their curiosity while simultaneously making the world a better place. Ten percent of the proceeds from each apparel collection benefits a different nonprofit organization including Wild Earth Allies, Our Companions Animal Shelter, WildAid, and the Ocean Foundation.

“I have always loved to adventure, travel, and backpack. This was the root of my inspiration for my clothing brand (The Wander Brand),” Nettleton said. “After serving as an ambassador for another small brand called LIV Apparel, I found a passion for clothing and apparel. Then, I combined my affinity for travel and curiosity into my own brand early this year.”

Community Foundation officials said they are pleased to partner with Nettleton who wanted to support Wabash County needs. To provide support, Nettleton is donating 40 percent of the Wander Wabash T-shirt proceeds to the Community Foundation’s unrestricted endowment to support early childhood education initiatives and the One85 comprehensive countywide plan announced at Grow Wabash County’s State of the Communities event in February.

“I love this county and I am glad to call it home,” Nettleton said. “I also support the work and the mission of the Community Foundation, and I want to help the Foundation continue to serve Wabash County’s greatest needs.”

Foundation officials said they owe their profound thanks to Wilson for his commitment to Wabash County and his desire to help others.

This advisory team’s investment in their lives will be profound, as it will help them to envision a future they didn’t believe they could have,” said White’s CEO Ron Evans.

White’s Residential & Family Services provides hope and transformation through Christ to children and families in crisis through foster care, residential treatment, and community-based services. With support from staff and the community, White’s will continue its mission during these challenging times.

White’s Residential & Family Services is establishing a W o r k f o r c e D e v e l o p m e n t Advisory Team comprised of business leaders, educational professionals, and community advocates to provide counsel and build on the successes of its Growing Teens for Life vocational program serving at-risk teens in residential treatment.

Nationally, adjudicated youth reencounter the justice system at a rate of 56 percent. The highest determinant of recidivism is lack of employment. For over 170 years, White’s has worked to equip adolescents with the tools they need to live independently and contribute to their communities.

White’s launched its Growing Teens for Life (GTFL) program in 2012 to meet the unique needs of youths in residential treatment and prepare them both for the workforce and adulthood.

“White’s has pioneered this program, bringing real-world experience, job training and education to the forefront. GTFL provides students the opportunity to earn nationally recognized certifications, acquire work experience, and earn financial incentives to help them get started once they leave campus,” said Kenny Harvey, director of experiential learning at White’s.

How to attract hummingbirds, butterflies & pollinators

By Leesa Metzger

Planting a few nectar- and pollen-rich flowers can turn your landscape into a haven for hummingbirds and butterflies.

The most important step you can take is to plant a pollinator-friendly garden.

Choose nectar and pollen-rich plants like wildflowers and oldfashioned varieties of flowers. A succession of blooming annuals, perennials and shrubs is best so nectar and pollen will be available throughout the growing season.

Also, include plants like dill, fennel and milkweed that butterfly larvae feed on.

Butterflies are some of the most beautiful and interesting creatures on Earth. By planting a butterfly garden with all of the right kinds of plants and flowers that butterflies love to feed on and lay eggs upon, you will certainly have a yard full of butterflies throughout the growing season. Butterfly gardens can be any size - a window box, part of your landscaped yard, or even

a wild untended area on your property.

Butterfly Host Plants are important when you create your butterfly garden to provide a site for the butterfly to lay eggs and also food source for the emerging caterpillar. Be prepared for heavy munching on your host plants!

Because tiny caterpillars cannot travel far to find their own food, the female butterfly locates and lays her eggs on only the type of plant that the caterpillar can use as food. Most species of caterpillars are particular about the type of plants they can eat. If the egg was not placed on the correct plant, the caterpillar hatching from that egg will not survive. Many gardeners do not like to see plants in their gardens that have been chewed on by bugs.

To avoid this, you may want to locate your butterfly host plants in areas that are not highly visible, but still a short distance from the butterfly nectar plants. If you do not provide host plants, you will

have fewer butterflies.

Many native trees and other plants found in and around our yards are host plants for caterpillars. There are a variety of plants that can be included in a butterfly garden that are excellent host plants. Caterpillars of the monarch butterfly feed only on milkweed plants (Asclepias spp.), so be sure to include some to support the monarch’s entire life cycle by providing nectar through the entire garden season. Spring flowering trees and shrubs that provide nectar early in the season include serviceberry (Amelan chier spp.), redbud (Cercis canadensis), flowerin g dogwood (Cornus florida), spicebush (Li ndera benzoin), and pussy willow (Salix discolor). Some midseason shrubs include leadplant (Amorpha canescans), buttonbus h (Cephalanthus occidentalis), and weigela. Butterfly

bush (Buddleia spp.) has long been a popular butterflyattracting plant.

Give low maintenance perennials a try to add color and food to your garden visitors.

Coreopsis, catmint, agastache, beebalm, daylilies, and salvia just to mention as few of the many plants we grow at Metzger Landscaping. With proper planning, good plant selection and minimal maintenance you can create an area that will not only attract butterflies and hummingbirds, but will help to preserve these important and

kinds to your yard this summer.

Wabash library reopens Wabash Carnegie Public library expanded in-person services on Monday, June 15, 2020. The library building is now open to the public Monday – Friday, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.

“While we are anxious to see our patrons and welcome them back inside the library building, we are trying to phase in a responsible start to honor social distancing guidelines that protect our patrons and our staff,” said Ware Wimberly, Executive Director.

New procedures and guidelines during this phase of re-opening will include: It is requested that patrons who feel unwell or who have knowingly been in contact with a Covid-19 positive individual refrain from entering the building. Those who do enter are asked to wear face masks for the protection of the library patrons and staff, unless you are medically unable to do so.

(Those who are unwell may call the library for no-contact curbside delivery to their vehicle.)

The Hill Street entrance will be open to the public at this time.

Upon entering, guests will be asked to make use of a hand sanitizing station before proceeding into the building.

The family restroom on the sec-

ond floor is wheelchair accessible and will be available to the public.

Copies and faxes will be available at no charge.

DVDs and WiFi hotspots can be circulated when available.

Three public computers will be available in order to allow for proper social distancing and disinfection of stations between uses.

The Children’s Room will have a limited capacity of five (5) people at a time. Guests will also be asked to keep their visits to 30 minutes or less. Those under 14 must be accompanied by a family member or guardian.

Overdue fines will continue to be waived until further notice.

Continue sending genealogy requests to genealogy@wabash.lib.in.us at this time.

Curbside service will still be available at the north entrance of the library for those who would rather continue to use it.

“Some of these procedures may change due to directives from local government and health officials,” Wimberly said. “We will continue expanding our services as soon as possible but will have the health and safety of everyone as our number one priority.”

Manchester seniors celebrate Like their counterparts at Northfield, Southwood and Wabash high schools, seniors at Manchester High School seniors paraded through the town of North Manchester on Friday to celebrate their graduation from high school. The students will have a formal commencement ceremony on July 17.

NM farm receives Angus Herd Award Article provided Underwood Angus Farms was established in 1965 in North Manchester, after Harvey Underwood purchased two purebred Angus and fell in love with them. Harvey’s goal was to raise the best cattle he could.

After starting with just a few Angus cows, he and his four sons increased the herd to nearly 100 producing females.

In the beginning, Harvey purchased cattle from various farms and auctions, which included private treaty sales, farm production auctions and the Michigan Futurity Sale. In 1972, he bought a cow at Arrowhead Angus Farm’s first production sale for $600.

Harvey entered bulls in the early Indiana Beef Evaluation Program (IBEP) ran by Purdue U n i v e r s i t y.

Underwood Angus Farms has had a bull in nearly every test

since then. His bulls were very successful at this test station.

Underwood Angus Farms won the HighP e r f o r m a n c e Indexing Individual and Get-of-Sire numerous times and received the Carcass Merit Award.

The farm was very successful showing their Angus steers and heifers in the 1970s and ’80s and then again in the early 2000s. They received Champion Angus steer and heifer many times at the Wabash County Fair.

“My grandfather Harvey’s favorite bull was Longacres Dominique T T 607,” said Neil Underwood, current farm owner.

“He bought the bull at the IBEP Sale and then won many tests with his sire progeny.

This bull was so instrumental to the success of Underwood Angus Farms and was such a farm favorite that even after my grandfather passed away,

Dominique got to live out his days on the farm and then was buried under his favorite shade tree.”

After Harvey’s passing, his son Mark, along with his two sons Neil and Austin took over management of the herd. At that time, the herd was reduced in size and now consists of approximately 70 cows, while still maintaining the goal to produce high-quality seedstock focusing on calving ease, growth and docility.

The American Angus Association’s Historic Angus Herd Award recognizes Angus breeders and immediate families who have been in continuous production of registered-Angus cattle for 50 years or more.

Visit www.angus.org for more information or to view a list of awarded members since the program began in 1988.

PASTOR ROB Mace asks…Can’t we all be nice? I work in business as a bi-vocational pastor. One thing I have learned in ministry and business is that people are mean. We all have in our hearts an evil streak of selfishness and anger. We want everyone to understand that our way is best and we don’t want to be inconvenienced with their decisions. How is your heart? Ever get disturbed because people are in the way of your plans?

Solomon in Proverbs 3:3-4 challenges us to allow love to be shown outwardly and engrained in our hearts. This is not natural. We are all born with a sin nature and God has wondrously solved that issue through Jesus Christ paying the penalty of our sins so we can be made righteous before God. God is love. If He lives in us and we in Him, we are made one and are love.

God’s love is sacrificial and does that which is in the best interest of others.

Our natural man doesn’t like that and wants selfish desire to be filled rather than giving up the desires of another person. We see it every day, everywhere, and in the ugliest ways.

Wisdom calls our hearts to love sacrificially. God loved us while we were yet sinners. He didn’t wait for us to look

good, speak right, give up our bad habits, or do right.

God loved us when we were His enemy and provided a way for us to be right with Him. Love is an action that desires the best for everyone.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

Can’t we all be nice? Yes, we can. But it means that we don’t live for self but for God first, others second, and yourself last. Every moment of everyday calls for us to be loving. It starts in our hearts where we allow self to be put aside and look for ways to encourage and help others.

Being kind means to do what is best for the person in that situation. Will others see the love in our outward person? Do they sense we are loving and kind? Is our countenance conveying love? Are our words loving and truthful? If not, we need a heart transformation.

A loving person will be successful and have favor with God and mankind. I see this in businesses every day. Kindness and helpfulness breeds love. A loving person is accepted where a selfish person is ridiculed and rejected. A loving atmosphere is a good working environment that leads to success and favor. Let’s get along with one another.

Pastor Rob preaches and shepherds the flock of the Roann First Brethren Church in Roann, Indiana. He is available for counseling and encouragement.

Springtime Extravaganza will be held at The Elementary in LaFontaine on June 27th from 10 am to 3 pm. Stop by the gym to check out a variety of vendors and local artisans and crafters.

They are looking forward to sharing with you.

STORM ON Wednesday June10,2020. Here are a few thoughts of mine on the storm. I have lived on my property since March 1962, but lived on this road except for 8 months since 1956. I have never seen it rain and wind like we had. We didn’t even have this much damage with the trees, with the ice storm.

We did have a lot of roofs that we damage and needed replaced.

I think it was in March of 1964 or 1965 we had freezing rain

and it did a lot of damage to trees.

But Wednesday was the first time you could not even see out your window, because of the wind and it was raining so hard. After it was over no electric, and then I heard sirens coming. They were going west on 1050 S, this included LaFontaine/Liberty Township Fire department, First Responder car and Wabash Fire Department ambulance, then another Wabash Fire Department ambulance, they were headed West on 1050 S. This made me wondering what was going on.

Come to find out someone was in need of help at the bridge which is out “and which has not been fixed for over two

years”. There were all kind of trees down and they could not find the person. Since there was a local gravel company right in the same area, they ask Jed Derick owner to use his big loader to remove the trees so they could search. Come to find out the person was on the other side of the bridge and they could not get to them. So, they had to turn around and go back East and go North one mile then West and turn South to get to the bridge. Jed Derick drove his big loader to remove trees so they can reach the person.

Thank goodness the person was not hurt very much. The person was not from this area so they had no idea where they were.

This could have been avoided if the bridge had been repaired and open. This time it was not a life lost, but if this bridge is not fixed someone might lose their life.

The other bridge on 1050 S also needs work done on it. If this bridge gets damage and cannot be used. There are 12 families who lived between these two bridges, “with several over 70 of age” will

be stuck. HAPPY BELATED 45th ANNIVERSARY Gray and Shelby Henderson on June 8.

STATE OF INDIANA

COUNTY OF WABASH IN RE CHANGE OF NAME OF MINOR: Annabelle Blanton Desirae Galloway Petitioner.

Local non-profits receive funds INDIANAPOLIS – Two local non-profit organizations that provide public humanities programming to Hoosiers will receive more than $500,000 in operating support to help with funding relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indiana Humanities awarded CARES Grants to 74 organizations, from Mishawaka to Milan.

Awards range from $1,000 to $15,000, depending on the size of the organization’s budget.

Organizations in the 2nd Congressional District will receive $50,000.

The North Manchester Historical Society will receive $5,000, while the Wabash County Museum will receive $7,500.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) provided the funding to Indiana Humanities as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act economic stabilization plan appropriated by the U.S. Congress.

NOTICE OF HEARING Notice is hereby given that Petitioner Desirae Galloway, pro se, filed a Verified Petition of Change of Name of Minor to change the name of minor child from Annabelle Rayn Blanton to Annabelle Rayn Handrich.

The petition is scheduled for hearing in the Wabash Circuit Court on July 31, 2020, at 1:00 o’clock p.m., which is more than thirty (30) days after the third notice of publication. Any person has the right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections on or before the hearing date. The parties shall report to Wabash Circuit Court, 49 W Hill St., Wabash, IN 46992.

includes provisions to help small businesses and Hoosiers in many industries, including those employed by public humanities such as cultural sites, libraries, and museums. The funds appropriated for Indiana Humanities CARES Grants will help support these programs through this difficult time,” said Senator Mike Braun.

Other CARES Grant recipients from Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District include: InterAction Initiative – Mishawaka ($5,000) Northern Indiana Historical Society – South Bend ($10,000) Pulaski County Public Library – Winamac ($10,000) Syracuse-Wawasee Historical Museum – Syracuse ($5,000) The Miami Nation of Indians of the State of Indiana – Peru ($7,500) “As a small organization, receiving an Indiana Humanities CARES Grant literally means our organization can continue to survive through

this pandemic,” said Deandra Cadet, cofounder and executive director of InterAction Initiative. “As a young woman of color led organization, statistically, we receive the least amount of access and funding support from both philanthropic and government aid.

We are incredibly grateful to receive funding to continue to support young BlPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) to thrive.”

Requests for the grants exceeded $1.3 million, and the 186 applicants expressed $11.7 million in total losses to date, as well as projected losses of $44.9 million through Sept. 30.

“We are pleased to have awarded grants to groups large and small, carrying out a variety of programming, in each congressional district and in 48 of our 92 counties,” said Doran Moreland, Indiana Humanities board chair. “We had to turn down many organizations that are doing good work in the state, including some of our close

partners. The grant committees put great care into the review, weighing a number of factors such as public humanities focus, need, audiences served, and geography.”

The grants do not require a match and will be distributed to the organizations in June. Organizations with budgets less than $250,000 received up to $5,000; organizations with budgets from $250,000 to $999,999 received $7,500; organizations with budgets from $1 million to $2,499,999 received $10,000 and organizations with budgets of $2.5 million or more received $15,000.

“These CARES grants will help meet immediate needs at cultural institutions around the state, allowing Indiana museums, archives, libraries and historical societies to maintain vital operations,” said NEH Chairman Jon Parrish Peede.

“Thank you to Indiana Humanities for their swift and judicious distribution of CARES Act funding to the many organizations.”

Take a world cuisine dining tour close to home Metro Creative Services Staycations can be perfect ways to rest and recharge without having to travel far from home.

Staycations tend to be affordable ways to spend time together for those who perhaps do not have the budget to travel domestically or internationally, or those who simply prefer the convenience of remaining nearby.

A break from meal planning and preparation is part of the allure of traditional vacations. But just because you’re choosing a staycation does not mean that you need to forgo the respite from cooking nightly meals. In fact, staycations can be ideal times to explore the various dining opportunities your local community offers — even providing a way to “tour the world” through global

cuisine. Many small towns and cities boast various types of restaurants offering a wide array of foods from countries around the world.

The following are tips for maximizing your staycation dining experience.

• Utilize technology.

Let technology work for you when looking for restaurants.

While a simple Google search will yield plenty of results, the app LocalEats can narrow down options to restaurants touted by foodies who prefer local businesses rather than chain restaurants. Rely on other apps for recommendations on places to dine, such as Yelp, Foursquare, OpenTable, LocalEats, and Zagat.

• Plot your map.

Make a list of the types of cuisines you want to sample based on regions of the world and match

own restaurant tours by recommending certain establishments and sharing positive experiences on social media.

Dining out is a key component of vacations and travel.

Staycations also can incorporate a tour of culinary delights without having to stray far from home.

Dining out is a key component of vacations and travel. Staycations also can incorporate a tour of culinary delights without having to stray far from home. them to nearby recommended restaurants. Your culinary tour can be narrowed down to a specific geographical region, such as Germany, or broadened depending on the restaurants in the area.

• Learn about the culture. Do a little

research into what comprises the menu of certain cultures so that you can select truly traditional dishes rather than Americanized versions. This brief history lesson also may offer insight into particular traditions behind food prepara-

tion methods.

• Use their expertise. Ask the chef or restaurant staff to make their recommendations on what you should try for authentic dishes.

Many restaurants are anxious to share information and put together a tasting

menu, even if it isn’t on the main menu.

• Support local businesses. An added benefit of this hometown global cuisine tour is that you will be keeping money in the community by supporting local businesses. Encourage others to do their

W Wh What hat at ar aree sstudents tudents ssaying aying ab about out COVID-19?

VID-19?

CO How would you react if you were a student during the coronavirus pandemic?

Would you be excited you no longer needed to attend class?

Would you be happy to stay up late and sleep in, and still be able to complete assignments on time?

Would you miss your friends and worry about your family and grandparents?

Our staff at the Community Foundation of Wabash County wanted to know the answers to these questions. So, our Promise Early Award Scholarship director, Joanne Case, encouraged our county’s 4th-8th grade teachers to use the Covid-19 experience for the creation of classroom assignments. Lucky for us, many Wabash County teachers were already planning creative ways for their students to respond to the experience. We salute all Wabash County educators for helping our county’s students thrive during this challenging time and for ensuring a continuation of meaningful learning toward a bright future.

Community Co Community mmunity Service Bingo Service Bingo Wabash Middle School 8th grade teachers wanted their students’ year to culminate in a service assignment to emphasize the importance of addressing this health crisis as a community. Teacher Rachelle Indrutz created a Community Service Bingo card, and the entire 8th grade team of teachers supported students as they complete five-ina-row. Students marked the squares they chose to work on by submitting photos as proof of completion. In the card pictured here, the photos show that the student, Kiana, completed the first row of her card: writing letter to a nursing home resident, sweeping the porch, organizing a cabinet, reading to a sibling, and writing a thank you letter to a health care worker.

Full Full Essay Essay The coronavirus epidemic has been pretty scary and nerve-wracking these past two months. With more and more cases/deaths in the United States, I worry about my grandparents, aunts and uncles, parents, and even pets that have the slightest chance of getting infected. Being stuck in my home has really affected me because it seems as though I have nothing to do, I can’t go into almost all places, and I can’t see some of my family and friends. My family and I planned on doing so much during summer break and my birthday which happened in April. For my birthday, I couldn’t do much except for having a campfire and a spa day. For summer break, my family was planning on going on vacation and doing a summer bucket list. But because of COVID-19, almost all plans are going to be canceled.

The virus has also affected me emotionally. Countless people are dying, and I feel bad for the families who are experiencing their loved ones getting sick.

This outbreak is going to kill a lot of people, and hurt even more. I’m trying to stay positive about this situation no matter the circumstances. Right now, the only thing I can do is pray, have hope, and hold on for one more day. On the other hand, the virus has helped me to become more responsible and also helped me to spend more time with my family. I’ve become more responsible by getting my e-learning done on time even though it’s tempting to be on my phone and do it later. Getting to spend time with my family is definitely a blessing because my parents and siblings are keeping the spirits up. Even though it is hard not to fight with one of my sisters because I’m around them all the time, it’s better to be together than apart.

In conclusion, COVID-19 has affected me by making me stay at home for seemingly endless days, shutting down almost all fun summer and birthday plans, by killing a lot of innocent people resulting in me feeling bad for them, and to help me be more responsible and spend more time with my family.

There are some good and bad effects of this virus, but in the end, I believe that this virus has brought all of us around the world in a spirit of hope and friendship, no matter the hardship and pain.

How is How is the vvirus irus aaffecting ffecting ppeople eople in other other parts parts of of the world? world?

Japan has had a very difficult time dealing with the virus. The Tokyo Olympics have been postponed, the school years have just started, and one of the most popular times for tourism has been ruined. Japanese school years start in April, and that is obviously a big issue in a time like this. While the Japanese government planned on opening all schools on time, only around thirty percent of schools started then. The ones that have started are trying their hardest to be cautious at this time. During this time as well, Sakura Trees, or Cherry Blossom Trees, have begun to grow. These beautiful trees can be a big part of visiting Japan, but now that the Coronavirus has begun to spread and transits have been closed, it seems that this year will not be one for tourism. This leaves many shop and business owners scrambling for any alternative way of making money.

Essential Wo Essential Workers rkers I think that some jobs are essential because they get things to people, they take care of other illnesses, and they are people who teach.

I think that the jobs of getting things to people (the mail worker) are essential for businesses that need to get letters to people working from home. My friend's mom is a florist and I believe it’s important for her to get around and get flowers to mothers on Mother’s Day and flowers to whoever ordered some.

Flowers are a way of showing love and appreciation towards someone or a way of showing that they care for them.

Some jobs are essential because they are people taking care of other illnesses. I got sick, and we had to go on a call with the doctor and he gave me medicine to take. The doctor has to help us out because we could still get the flu and we would need to be treated for that.

The other jobs that are essential are teachers. School teachers, music teachers, art teachers, and all other teachers are important for us to learn and grow. Our school teachers are the people who are trying to help us keep learning even while we're out of school physically. They help us out a lot with keeping the knowledge we got in school.

I still believe that the essential jobs during this time right now are jobs of getting things to people, taking care of other illnesses, and people who teach.

The virus is affecting many people. Education is big. Not just for me but for teachers, other students, and parents. Learning is way different than what it used to be. Students are forced to sit at a computer and watch videos of their teachers teaching. Remote learning at home is nice because you can take breaks whenever you want, I don’t have to wear my uniform, and I can wake up whenever I want. That may sound great, but I would much rather go back to school because I did it my whole life so I got into a routine. Face to face is so much easier because if I have a question on math in remote learning, I have to text it instead of asking it.

How am I being a good citizen? I make cards for all the health care workers and first responder to show them my thanks. I can do a drive by for someone’s birthday and wish them an awesome birthday, I can give my clothes to Lighthouse Mission for others who don’t have clothes.

I want to also make a big sign and put it at the road acknowledging health care workers.

COVID-19 is a virus and when you get it you will become very sick and it will become difficult to breathe. This illness has affected me in many ways. It is hard for me because both my parents still work. My mom is a nurse and my dad is a journeyman electrician. Also my baby sister’s babysitter was off for three weeks, so I had to watch both my baby sister and my younger sister.
