State to county: Accept all requests

Chili time

90 teams expected at 16th annual charity event

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash County Clerk’s office must accept all requests for absentee ballots, even if they aren’t the proper ones. That was the ruling by the Indiana Election Division in light of a decision last week by the Wabash County Election Board not to accept any requests that came via the Indiana Democratic Party. The Indiana Democratic

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Todd Titus is hoping something that has cropped up among various Wabash County events doesn’t happen Satuday, Oct. 20, during the 16th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off. “Wind and rain are the things we don’t want,” said Titus, chair of the cook-off committee. “That’s always the unknown. “But if you look at the weather and the festivals in Wabash County this year … Roann got hit with it. Friday night of FunFest in Manchester got hit with it. The Kunkel Car Show on Friday night got hit with it. I hope it’s a trend that’s not continuing.” Titus is so concerned, he’s already watching the extended weather forecast. As of Monday, there’s a 20 percent of showers, with highs in the lower 50s. This year’s show is once again at the Paradise Spring Historical Park at the intersection of Allen and West Market streets. Tasting begins at noon. (continued on page 4)

MSD Board member causes stir with motion By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

MSD of Wabash County board mem-

ber Gary Fadil caused a stir amongst board members by calling for a motion that was not on the regular agen-

da during the Tuesday, Oct. 9 meeting. Fadil stated that, after receiving the results of the study

by Dr. Steve Yager, it was his opinion that the board move forward on a pair of directives from those interviewed in the study. First, Fadil saw a clear directive that those surveyed wanted to see more opportunities for the children. He then made a motion to revisit Phase II of the study commissioned by the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County. “It’s a free one – you’ve already spent $22,000 for the last opinion survey,” Fadil said. “We’ve paid for what it was going to do to our taxes, and I’d like us to take one more step forward and go back and revisit.” Member Todd Topliff agreed with Fadil’s direction, but

the other three members voted no. Chairman Kevin Bowman said he was blindsided by Fadil’s action, although superintendent Mike Keaffaber seemed to have prior knowledge that Fadil was going to bring forth the motion. Bowman cited personal reasons that needed his immediate attention for not proceeding with discussion on Fadil’s motion, and members Matt Driscoll and Todd Dazey voted no alongside Bowman. The consensus among the dissenting three was that they haven’t had time yet to sit down with Yager to talk about his study before proceeding forward. Dazey also brought it to the board’s attention that the agenda Tuesday night did not allow for open public comment. Due to board policy, the board had been doing so in error, but Dazey asked Keaffaber to bring to the board an amended policy that would allow for the status quo to remain. Also at Tuesday’s board meeting, teacher Stacey Meredith received the staff spotlight award. Parent Amanda Galley nominated Meredith after Meredith went above and beyond to make sure her son was OK after a minor injury at school.

Also Tuesday, the board: — Was informed that the first grading period ended Oct. 5 and that parentteacher conferences are schedule for Thursday, Oct. 11. This is also an Elearning day. — Was informed that the general fund balance is over $2.8 million. —Approved the substitute teacher rate at $70. —Approved the recommendation for the Extra Curricular Accounts amendments to the 2017-19 contract. The teachers ratified it on Monday evening. — Approved school fundraising events for 2018-19. —Was informed by A s s i s t a n t Superintendent Tim Drake that the school district scored below the 33 percent state average pass rate on the latest ISTEP testing. — A p p r o v e d employment of three-hour cook Barbara Stanifer at Northfield High School. — Approved employment of special education aide Danielle Knable at Sharp Creek Elementary. — Approved Southwood coaches for the winter season: — John Burrus, head boys basketball. — Christian Perry, varsity assistant boys basketball.

16th annual event will be able to sample upwards what is expected to be about 90 different chili recipes. (The committee was “on the other side of 85” on the day of the interview with Titus. “We get very few the day of the event,” he said. “In the early years we used to, but now no so much the case. I mean, we’ll take them, but generally they don’t (register on the day of the event).” The cook-off, considered the largest chili cook-off east of the Mississippi River, is perhaps the most anticipated annual event in Wabash County. Organizers point to several different reasons for the event’s popularity. “It’s an interactive event, whether you’re cooking and serving chili, or if you come to taste, or if you come to vote,” Titus said. “Whether you donate money or raffle gifts or some sort of in-kind service. There’s just a lot of ways for people to get involved in it. That plays a part in it. The

fact that when it started it got off on a really good foot. I think for a lot of people now, it’s a tradition for them. I think the time of year, we’re at the end of summer, everyone wants to squeeze in the last good weather day we can get. It’s a good way to spend a Saturday in October. I think that’s part of it.” And, of course, the charitable aspect of the event is a major draw. In its first 15 years, the cook-off has distributed more than $500,000 to various non-profit organizations around Wabash County. It also contributed a few hundred dollars to a military unit wanting to start a cook-off overseas. This year, 15 local organizations will benefit from the event. The groups — Wabash County C a n c e r Society, Lagro Canal Foundation, Quilt of Honor, Living Well Transit Service, Family Services Society, Manchester Early Learning

Center, Growing Grounds, Share Little Free Pantry, H o n e y w e l l E d u c a t i o n a l Outreach, Lighthouse Mission, Blessings In A Backpack, Roann Covered Bridge Lions Club, the FAME Festival, F.I.S.H. of Wabash and Wabash County Christmas Spirit – were selected from about 30 organizations that submitted request applications. Titus said it’s always hard to choose which organizations to help. “We’re always interested in something new,” he said. “That’s nothing against the ones we’ve funded several times over. We’re always interested in something new. Then you have to look at what it is they want the money for, and how much money.” The amount of money a group gets is up to the committee. The individual organizations do not request specific amounts. “But there are some things, like a building project or if they’re

trying to make an improvement — those kinds of projects need more money than some of the others,” Titus said. “You try to kind of know what we hope to raise, what we’ve raised in the past. We look at it that way …” Again this year, the chili committee is teaming up with Wabash County United Fund to help provide funds to the group. “They’ve contributed $10,000 a year since 2010, so this will be the ninth year,” Titus said. “That means quite a lot to us.” Again this year, the cook-off will be one of many things taking place in Wabash that day. At the Honeywell Center, the American Heritage Craft Show will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday night, the Center’s Ford Theater will feature Billy F Gibbons of ZZ Top fame in concert. Titus said Trolly No.85 will be running between Paradise Spring and the Honeywell Center throughout the day.

Teams will begin cooking shortly after 8 a.m., and tasting will begin at noon. Admission is $5 per person, and visitors will receive 20 tickets with which to vote for their favorite chili. “People that come and want to taste chili and want to vote have to understand the voting ends at 2:45,” Titus reminded. “The day doesn’t end then, but we have to have time to tally the votes. “The tasting is from noon. Voting tickets and everything are turned in at 2:45. If that’s part of your day, to go and vote, then you have to get there early.”

Bring your ghosts, goblins, and little angels to the Honeywell House on Halloween for a haunting and a treat! The House will be open during the City of Wabash’s official trick or treating hours on Wednesday, Oct. 31, from 5 to 8 p.m. Visitors may also tour the specially d e c o r a t e d Halloween-themed rooms. Each Halloween, Honeywell House manager and chef, David Ericsson and his staff, take delight in transforming the elegant home into a haunted mansion for the public to enjoy. If spooky ghosts, ghoulish skeletons, a creepy casket and a plethora of other scary Halloween paraphernalia give you a thrill, then the Honeywell House will be the place to go this Halloween. Halloween at the Honeywell House is free and open to the public.

A distinguished honor cess, I realized right away just how little I knew.” With as much as Curless has accomplished, he continued, “my feeling is, there are at least two of this person.” Curless served as a director and treasurer of the Honeywell Foundation for 22 years. He also has served as president of Wabash Valley Music Association. His chairmanships include work with such groups as Indiana Farm Bureau, Country Mark Co-op and Pro Ag Co and about 30 other organizations. Curless said after the event that he was surprised at receiving the award. He said he realized it was him early on during Beauchamp’s speech when a reference was made of his boyhood pet, a dog named Fritz. “When they mentioned Fritz, that dog, I started to think, well, too many people don’t have a dog named Fritz,” he said. “He was a collie, and he was with me constantly as a kid. On the farm, I would take off and that dog would follow.” He said he was “very much surprised to have received the award.” “At my age, I didn’t think that it would ever happen,” he joked. “It’s quite an honor. There are a lot of great people in the county, and to be able to join the listing of all the people that are listed there, that is just a wonderful thing.” Prior to the presen-

tation of Curless’ award, Jim and Dylan Reynolds, third and fourth generations involved with the family business, J.M. Reynolds Oil, gave an at times emotional look at the firm’s history. “In 1946, Jim Reynolds came back to his hometown after the war and began delivering fuel for Standard Oil,” Jim Reynolds said of his grandfather. “Jim built his business on relationships, on pacts with his customers to provide superior service and products. The slogan of his company was, and is, ‘We don’t want all business. We just want yours.’” In 1975, the elder Reynolds formed J.M. Reynolds Oil Co. His son, Ron, joined the firm in 1976. “Ron steadily grew the business and company through the blizzard of 1978 and the long lines of oil embargoes of the 1970s,” Jim Reynolds said of his father. The younger Jim Reynolds and his brother, Chris, joined the firm in the late 1990s. “They believed in the philosophy of customer relationship,” he said. “Everyone has a profit, but if you don’t have the relationship or the service, you really have nothing. Seventy-two years after Jim Reynolds climbed in his truck, J.M. Reynolds Oil Co. now has 17 employees and a fleet of trucks. “None of this is possible without the idea of the customer relationship. This is

instilled in all the employees of J.M. Reynolds Oil Co., from the girls in the office to the drivers and salesmen. Without the support of the employees, none of this is possible.” Jim Reynolds introduced all the company employees, while Dylan Reynolds introduced a brief video highlighting the firm. Keith Gillenwater, Grow Wabash County President & CEO, spoke about some of the highlights of the group’s first year in existence. Grow Wabash County is a combination of the former Wabash Area Chamber of Commerce and the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County. In the last 12 to 15 months, Gillenwater said, two new manufacturers – Precision Medical Technologies and 10X Engineered Materials – have agreed to locate in North Manchester and Wabash, respectively. Precision Medical will bring 60 high-wage jobs, while 10X will have 26 highwage jobs. Since the Chamber and EDG merged on June 30, 2017, “we’ve facilitated almost $53 million in investment, commitments for 161 new jobs and over $216,000 in new local income taxes generated each year, with an average wage of almost $27 per hour.” In addition, Midwest Poultry, Oji Intertech, Strauss Veal Feeds have announced expansion, while Grow

Wabash County also assisted in New T r a d i t i o n s Dulcimers, Webb Family Pharmacy and Nameless Catering, among others, open in Wabash County. Both business parks in Wabash and North Manchester have been designated Indiana Site Certified, he added. The group also has helped with a study on current and future housing needs in Wabash County, brownfield redevelopment, specifically a cleanup at the former GDX site, as well as forming task forces on early child hood education and the opioid problem. “In the last 18 months, we have hosted six workforce development classes in welding, precision machining and industrial maintenance through a grant written and administered by Grow Wabash County on behalf of Wabash, Kosciusko and Huntington counties,” Gillenwater said. “In total, 112 people have been trained, with almost half of them being Wabash County residents. Classes were all done in partnership with Ivy Tech Wabash, Heartland Career Center and the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County.” Grow Wabash County also has worked with Wabash City Schools to find and engage with Uncharted Learning to bring the INCubator EDU program to Wabash. “And we have laide

State to county: Accept all requests Party mailed thousands of defected absentee ballot request forms to likely Democratic voters in September, according to Secretary of State Connie Lawson. The mailing didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain mandatory instructions on how to fill them out. Lawson instructed clerks offices around the state to reject the requests and to contact the voters asking them to resubmit a proper request application. The office later rescinded that, and ordered the clerks to accept the ballots, regardless of where they came from. On Oct. 2, the Wabash County Election Board unanimously voted to reject

the requests in spite of Lawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directive. Rather, the board ordered Clerk Elaine Martin and Deputy Clerk Teresa Ehret to contact the applicants and provide the proper application, asking them to resubmit the form properly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decision by the Wabash County Election Board immediately came to the attention of the Indiana Democrat Party who made immediate contact with the Indiana Election Division codirectors,â&#x20AC;? Martin wrote in a memorandum obtained Tuesday, Oct. 9, by The Paper of Wabash County. On Oct. 3, according to the memorandum,

Brad King, the Republican co-director of the Indiana Election Division contacted Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office seeking an explanation of what the local board did, hoping to have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;full understanding of what our discussions entailed during the meeting â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. King was thoughtful, insightful, informative and empathetic to our boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns regarding the possible implication on our local races and local school referendum if we were to have a recount or challenges made in respect to any ballots issued from the absentee applications that were previously deemed to

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I certainly appreciate the balanced approach you took at the county election board meeting in not rejecting the absentee ballot applications described in Order 2018-45, but instead sending the voter a previously approved and valid state application,â&#x20AC;? King wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, since state

...continued from the front page

law does not permit the board to do other than follow the directives set forth in state law and to comply with Order 2018-45. Therefore, the board must approve the absentee applications referenced in that order and provide an absentee ballot to the applicant, if there are no other reasons not

to do so.â&#x20AC;? The board, Martin wrote, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the need to meet again on the matter. Instead, the clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office will follow the instructions from King and â&#x20AC;&#x153;will issue ballots to voters in response to their absentee applications regardless of which form was used,â&#x20AC;? she wrote.

Temperature drop should bring out fall colors From the DNR After recent weeks of hotter-than-usual weather, this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significant drop in temperature across the state should get things moving toward the fall colors Hoosiers love. The best fall color formation happens with bright, warm days, cool nights and moist soils, according to Carrie Tauscher, the DNR Division of F o r e s t r y â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s Community & Urban Forestry program c o o r d i n a t o r. While all of Indiana has experienced bright, warm days, overnight lows and soil moistures have varied dramatically throughout the state. Nonetheless, the tourist towns of southern Indiana such as Nashville, Madison and Medora shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fret, 44736

Tauscher said. Sassafras and sweetgum trees in forest understories and along roadsides regularly give a great show of red, orange and yellow. If you plan to go sightseeing for fall colors, you can contact the Purdue Extension office in the county of your destination for a

report. Another option is to call the nearest state park. Colors vary statewide, and from county to county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the events going on in parks and orchards and other fall destinations, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to enjoy the ambiance no matter what,â&#x20AC;?

f a l l . â&#x20AC;? Leaves produce pigments that give them color. During spring and summer, the green pigment, chlorophyll, is dominant. When days become shorter, other pigments in the leaf become visible as the amount of chlorophyll dwindles. The full forest show in central Indiana should begin in the next two to four weeks, depending on weather, and continue for several weeks as long as the state doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience windy storms, Tauscher said. Once the leaves fall, Tauscher said Hoosiers should consider mulching their yard leaves instead of bagging them and sending them to a landfill. One option is to mow leaves and let them be absorbed into the lawn, providing nutrients for the next growing season. Another use is to layer them onto planting beds, which provides nutrients and protection against wind erosion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kills me when people throw all those good leaves to the curb,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Commissioners set bid dates By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com Bids for a bridge project in LaFontaine and for the county’s annual

materials, supplies and equipment rental needs will be accepted in the coming weeks. County Highway Superintended John

Martin requested that the county commissioners open bids for a rehabilitation project for Bridge 701 carrying Walnut Street over

Grant Creek in LaFontaine at 9:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 19. Martin also requested that the commissioners open bids for the county’s

annual materials, supplies and equipment rental costs at 9:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 3. The commissioners approved both requests at their Monday, Oct. 15, meeting. Additional news from the meeting included the weekly jail report from Sheriff Bob Land. Land said that the Wabash County Jail housed 107 inmates as of Monday morning, with an additional 44 Wabash County inmates housed in Miami County, 10 in Elkhart and one in Department of Corrections safekeep, for a total of

161. Land said that the official peak population at WCJ this past week was 109, but that there were up to 116 inmates in the facility at one point for the second time in two weeks.

Land also said that interviews for merit deputies were conducted Thursday, Oct. 11, and that six new deputies will be hired: three before the end of the year, and three more in 2019.

Little Stevie: A modern renaissance man By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Steven Van Zandt is a musician, perhaps best known as guitarist for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. But he’s also an actor, having performed as Silvio Dante in HBO’s “The Sopranos” and as exmobster Frank Tangliano in Netflix’s “Lilyhammer.” In addition, he’s a music producer and writer. And don’t forget to add activist to his list of accomplishments, most notably with Artists United Against Apartheid, a musical coalition Van Zandt assembled in the 1980s to help raise awareness of the system of racial segregation enforced by the governing party in South Africa. Does that make him a renaissance man? “I do like a lot of different things,” he told The Paper of Wabash County in a recent telephone interview. “My different interests tend to fuel each other. People sometimes think, ‘Doesn’t it become confusing? Does one thing take away from another thing?’ I’m like, ‘No, it’s just different parts of my brain working.’ “Sometimes I’m a musician. Sometimes I’m a producer, producing a lot of different things. Sometimes I’m a writer one day, a producer the next, a guitar player the next. I end up doing TV. I’m doing a radio show. What happens is you give it 100 percent while you’re doing it. Then you move on to a different part of your brain, then that other part gets a chance to rest and gets to revitalize itself. Doing

multiple things helps me, keeps the energy up.” Van Zandt’s latest project, Little Stevie and the Disciples of Soul, will make a stop in Wabash on Oct. 29 for a performance at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater, to promote his new album “Soulfire” as well as his latest cause, the “Soulfire Teacher Solidarity Tour.” His “Soulfire” album is his first solo release in 20 years. “It was just by accident. I didn’t even plan it,” he said of the album. “This guy came up to me and said, ‘Why don’t you throw a band together and play in my blues festival?’ I hadn’t done that in a long, long time. I said, ‘You know what, that sounds like fun. That’s what I did.” Van Zandt put together a 15-piece band, complete with five horns and three backup singers. “I met a whole lot of new musicians when I did the Darlene Love album a couple years ago,” Van Zandt continued. “The Darlene Love session band, I think was the basis of this band. I put a band together and started going through my old songs which I hadn’t really paid attention to much in 20 years.” Although he hadn’t made a solo album in two decades, it’s not like he was just idling away the time. “I didn’t mean to abandon it,” he said. “I started acting, then Bruce put the E Street Band back together, before I knew it 20 years went by. I’m revisiting my old music. I was kind of a surprise how well it held up. I thought, this still has value. I shouldn’t be ignoring

it. I’ve got to revisit this and reconnect it, if I can, to an audience and make them aware of this stuff. “The show itself, we’re more of a mobile history lesson, because of my roots going all the way back. We don’t present it in an academic way, of course. It’s a rock and roll show. It’s entertaining.” Van Zandt is in the process of writing and recording a new album. “I’m going to continue this thing into next year,” he said, quickly adding, “Depending on what Bruce wants to do.” Springsteen is currently in the midst of performing in “Springsteen on Broadway,” a solo acoustical performance that features him on guitar and piano. “He has been working really hard,” Van Zandt said of Springsteen. “I was joking with him the other day: You know, this is the first legitimate job he’s ever had. He’s been on Broadway five days a week. When he’s done in December, it will be like 15 months straight, pretty much, of five days a week of sold out performances. It’s been a hell of a ride. “I will not be surprised if he wanted to take some time off. I expect he might. So, I’m going to keep going with The Disciples. I’m making a new album right now that’s going to come out in May. I’m getting my catalog back out. I’m trying to get everything out that I’ve been ignoring for the last 20 years.” Van Zandt and Springsteen have been friends since the

mid 1960s and performed in several bands together before the E Street Band. As a guitarist for the band, Van Zandt takes more of a supporting role, something he is quite comfortable with. “It’s a lot more work, I’ll tell you

that,” he said of headlining a band. “You really do appreciate what Bruce has to do every night. My natural instinct is to be the behind the scenes guy, probably not even to be on stage at all, if you really analyze it all the way. What I really get off on most

is producing. Creating shows. Creating radio shows, records. I’ve done a Broadway show. Movies. TV. I love producing. I love writing. I love the creative process the most. “The performance side of my life is the fun part, whether it’s

playing in a band or acting. That stuff is fun and it’s wonderful. But I’m more of a behind the scenes type guy.” Van Zandt transitioned from being a member of the sup(continued on page 10)

mobster who turned on the mob, entered the witness protection program and ended up in Norway. His acting career, he said, came as a surprise to many. “I thought if I ever got into (movies or television), it would be more as a writer or director,” he said. “I never really thought about acting until (‘Sopranos’ creator) David Chase called me and said, ‘Do you want to be in my new TV show?’ I said, ‘Thank you, David, no not really. I’m not an actor.’ He said, ‘Yes you are, you just don’t know it yet.’ So I said, ‘OK, I’ve got nothing bet-

ter to do. I might as well give it a shot.’ “It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of work. Big, big difference between American TV and when I did ‘Lilyhammer’ after that in Norway. It’s like night and day. In Europe, especially Norway, the appreciate quality of life. They work an eight hour day and then that’s it, man. They want to live life, not just work. In America it’s just the opposite. We’d work 10 or 12 hours a day on the Sopranos. You’d go home completely burnt, then you have to get up the next day and do it all over again. But it was

a lot of fun. I made a whole new bunch of friends, some of whom I still see.” Asked in the past about the controversial ending to the “Sopranos” – viewers don’t know if the main character Tony Soprano lived, died or was arrested by the feds – Van Zandt simply says, “The director called cut, and all the actors went home.”

...continued from page 9

But it’s a different story when talking about his character. Silvio was ambushed and critically injured in a shooting outside his club. The last the viewer saw of him was in a hospital bed hooked up to various machines. Did Sil survive? “ D e f i n i t e l y. Definitely,” he said. “I joke with people sometime, and say Sil came out of the coma

and basically went to Norway for ‘ L i l y h a m m e r. ’ Actually, the characters were quite different from each other. I wanted to make sure (Sil) lived, just in case there was a movie.” Tickets for Little Stevie and the Disciples of Soul are available at the Honeywell Center Box Office. Tickets range from $25 to $65.

Van Zandt offers pre-concert workshop for teachers By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com When Steven Van Zandt stops in Wabash on Oct. 29, his mission will be two-fold. First and foremost, he’s here to perform with his band, Little Stevie and the Disciples of Soul, at the Honeywell Center. But before the show, he will be part of a free continuing education workshop for area teachers, part of the “Soulfire Teacher Solidarity Tour.” “We set a goal this year to register 10,000 teachers into our curriculum,” Van Zandt told The Paper of Wabash County during a telephone interview. “We just crossed the halfway mark three days ago. We’re doing great, man, making a lot of teachers happy and showing our gratitude to the teaching profession to come to the show for free.” The tour sets aside several hundred tickets per show so those teachers attending the workshop, as well as a guest, can attend the concert for free. The workshop will introduce educators to TeachRock, a free, multi-media K-12 interdisciplinary curriculum from Van Zandt’s Rock and Roll Forever Foundation. “The curriculum is free at TeachRock.org,” he continued. “The curriculum is free and, of course, the workshop is free.” Teachers must undergo a certain amount of professional development each year, Van Zandt noted, “and they have to pay for it.” “We’re doing professional development for them in between the soundcheck and the show, for free,” he said. “All that counts toward their certificate. We’re basically doing what we

Steven Van Zandt will host a teacher workshop prior to his Oct. 29 concert at the Honeywell Center. Photo provided can do to show our gratitude to the most underappreciated and under paid profession in the world.” The concept of the curriculum is to give teachers a tool to use to deal with the modern world, he said. “I’ve been in a lot of classrooms visiting, and what I’ve noticed is they teach the kids the same way they taught us, pretty much,” he said. “It’s ‘Learn this now and some day you’ll use it.’ Well, that’s not really working for this generation. They expect things to happen right now because of social media being what it is. “To redesign this thing, to give kids satisfaction and help them participate right away, and give their attention right away to teachers, and once teachers have their attention then they can teach.” To do so, he said, is through music. “Every kid is into music,” said Van Zandt, guitarist with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. “It doesn’t matter what gender, or

race, or ability to learn or how shy they are. Every single kid is into music. The teachers just say, ‘What are you listening to?’ and whatever it is, they say, ‘OK, let’s trace it back culturally.’ Suddenly the kids are interested, they’re tuned in, they’re participating. It’s been very, very successful.” The workshop is open to any teacher, regardless of grade level. “We have a cross curriculum,” he said. “They’re teaching it in music class, in history, in English class, in social studies, and, of course, even in the younger grades where there is no separation (of classes). “This thing works from kindergarten to college.” To attend the workshop, teachers should register with Christine at TeachRock.org. “And they can even bring a friend,” Van Zandt said. “Depending on the size of the venue, we’ve got four, or five or six hundred tickets set aside. We want to welcome any teacher at any grade level.”

T h e R o a n n Lions Club met in the town hall o n T h u r s d a y, Oct. 11, 2 0 1 8 . President Rick Morris called the meeting to order and led the members in reciting the pledge to the American flag. Donna Harman read the minutes of the August meeting, they were approved as read. Treasurer Keith Ford gave the treasurer’s

report and it was approved. Ford gave a report on the restoration of the caboose donation to the Lions Club and the Roann Heritage group by Dick Siders. He said there was a lot more work involved to restore the caboose back to its original condition than first thought. The Lions Club members appreciate all the many businesses that have donated materials of lumber, paint and some giving their time and equipment to move the caboose at the work sight a couple times. The inside of the caboose will be restored at a later time.

The goal was to try to have the caboose moved uptown by festival time however, with the extra work needed that wasn’t possible. Club members are now shooting for the goal of late October to get the caboose moved to the library grounds. They hope to have a ribbon cutting ceremony and dedication, hopefully on Nov. 3. More plans and the definite date will be posted later. Watch in The Paper and for flyers which will be posted. In other old business Morris reported that some extra work had been done at the site of the Roann sign at the junction of 15 & 16.

Brandt’s raffle benefits project remembering Delphi victims By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com It’s been over a year and a half since the now infamous Delphi murders of Libby German and Abby Williams. And for folks like Libby’s grandfather, Mike Patty, the grief is still as strong as it was the day the murders occurred on Feb. 13, 2017, especially with the gut-wrenching feeling of knowing that the killer is still at large. At 1:45 p.m. on Feb. 13, 2017, Abby, 13, and Libby, 14, were dropped off by a family member at an abandoned bridge where they planned to go hiking. The girls were reported missing at 5:30 p.m. after they did not arrive to be picked up from the bridge. Their bodies were discovered around noon on Feb. 14, about 50 feet from the north bank of Deer Creek. Their killer remains at large. “Time heals a lot of

wounds, but we’re not at that stage yet,” Patty said. “With the fact that we don’t have this guy caught yet – that is the pain that I live every day. I don’t get to take a break from it. Nor do I want to until this guy is caught. Opportunities like this just enable us to get the word out there again and keep it out there, because the fact of the matter is there’s still a guy walking around out there that’s responsible for the murders of two girls from Delphi.” With the help of businesses like Brandt’s Harley Davidson, the memory of the girls and their story will live on. Patty organized a benefit to raise funds for a new park in Delphi in honor of Libby and Abby. The park will be nestled in at State Road 218 and State Road 25, a 21acre complex that will encompass a park, green space, an amphitheater, three

ball diamonds and walking trails. “Just things for people to come out and enjoy,” Patty said. Patty had built a relationship with the employees at Brandt’s since buying his motorcycle there in 2012. Brandt’s employees had heard about the tragedy, and immediately began thinking of exactly how to help. As the conversation progressed, Brandt’s figured giving a motorcycle away would be the best opportunity to raise money for the cause. “Any type of situation like this that affects the community is so serious,” Vince Persico of Brandt’s said. “But, having these be two beautiful girls who had all of their lives ahead of them, we as parents – it’s just a tragedy to think there could be this kind of loss. So, for us to be able to be involved in that, and to help raise money and try to figure out how to get

this tragedy behind us and get some closure was super important to us.” The motorcycle toured the state as a raffle item, making stops in Delphi, Indianapolis, and various locations t h r o u g h o u t Tippecanoe County, White County and Carroll County. Delphi native Chris Christensen would up winning the raffle, buying the winning ticket at the Old Settlers’ Festival in Delphi. “Win or lose, a lot of people were willing to donate money for the cause,” Christensen said. “People took tickets to work and sold them there. There were a lot of people in the community involved with raising money for this park. “It’s great,” Christensen continued. “It’s a great idea going on in Delphi. It’s a great tribute to the girls. It’s a great showing of strength for Delphi and the community itself, to

Something good can come, and it’s good that the people in the town have risen up and stand out and want to do something for this cause, and to promote our children’s well-being.” Patty was humbled by Brandt’s donation, and all of the other people and businesses that were willing to give to the cause. “It’s awesome,” he said. “The outpouring of support from the community and people like Brandt’s and all the other contributors and businesses that have given – it’s very touching, very

heartwarming. We can’t do it without them.” During the early onsite of the idea for the project, there were donations coming in to the families from people around the community as well as the state. “We were like ‘we don’t want the money, it’s not for us,’” Patty said. “Let’s put it back towards the community. It started off with just maybe we’d buy some bleachers or a scoreboard for the local softball, but we (realized) we had a little bit more money than that. Let’s see if we can build a park.” The park will have ball parks incorporat-

ed into it because the girls loved playing, and were gearing up for a new season at the time of their deaths. “Libby played baseball and softball since she was four years old and enjoyed the sport,” Patty said. “That was the sport that they were getting ready to start. In fact, they were out practicing the day before (the murders). Abby was signed up to be part of the team in ’17. It’s a good way to give back to the community. The kids in the community could really use this. We need something like this for the kids, a nice quality field for them to play on.”

Trine students design LEGO Robotics curriculum From the Trine News Bureau

ANGOLA — Before LEGO Robotics campers began building robots, three Trine University elementary education majors worked together to build the camp curriculum. Freshmen Cal Stone of Wabash and Emily Morthorst and Brookeanne Hensley of Fort Wayne directed the camps this past summer, which expanded to offerings at McKenney-Harrison Elementary School in Auburn and Fremont Middle School in Fremont as well as on the Trine campus. The Trine students began with materials from past years’ LEGO camps, including parts for building robots and introductory manuals. They sought out other resources that

allowed them to teach campers how to build a wider range of robots targeted to varying levels of ability. They also had use of about a dozen Trine University laptops that campers used for programming and accessing instructions. The team used their materials to develop the camp curriculum. They learned to be flexible as they adapted activities to allow for campers’ strengths and interests. “We were able to take each camp one by one,” said Stone. “We were able to build simpler robots with our morning beginner camps, and then upped the difficulty in the afternoon with our advanced camp. Each week was different when it came to overall abilities, but we were able to find fun and chal-

lenging robots that all campers were able to enjoy.” Marcus Wagner, principal at M c K e n n e y Harrison, said the Trine students did a “fantastic” job working with the children. “The Trine students provided clear expectations in an engaging, hands-on learning environment,” he said. “Parents and students seemed very pleased.” All the LEGO camps had full enrollment. “We had a great turnout,” Morthorst said. “The robots that were built were fairly complex, and many of the parents were in awe when they got to see what their child built on the last day.” Wagner said his school is looking forward to continuing the partnership with Trine next year.

NORTH MANCHESTER — The Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School Squire Band will return to state-level competition for the third straight season. The 47-member marching band earned a gold rating at the Indiana State School Music Association’s preliminaries Saturday, Oct. 6, at Homestead High School in Fort Wayne, thereby qualifying for this year’s state competition. The MJSHS band parents invite community members to join them in encouraging the marching band as they depart for ISSMA Scholastic Class Marching Band

Finals. The Squire Band Send-Off will take place at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20 in the parking lot of MJSHS. This is the band’s fifth trip to Finals in the last six years. “All of the hard work this season and especially the last few weeks is paying off,” Director Jeff Huber said. “Our scores made large jumps in every category, and the show has come together. This year’s band joins the last two years bands and two previous bands in qualifying for finals.” This is the fifth time in the past six years that the band has advanced to state, which will take place Saturday at Lawrence Central

High School. “I was proud of how the band handled the push into Prelims, meeting the challenges put forward by the staff daily,” Huber said. “During band camp in July the band set goals for the season, and the hardest was to place in the top five at finals. This will require some extremely hard work over, but it is within reach.” The Squires earned second at both Bluffton and Dekalb, and third at Plymouth earlier this season. “The theme this year has been close scores,” Huber said after the Plymouth competition, “and that was true [that] weekend with all of the bands perform-

ing well.” This year’s show is titled “The Heist,” and features the music of Henry Mancini, arranged by Paul Murtha and Will Rapp, and drill by Matt Wyse. M o v e m e n t s include “The Loot,” featuring “Pink Panther;” “The Distraction,” featuring “Moon River” and “Mr. Lucky;” and “The Escape,” featuring “Peter Gunn.” The band is under the direction of Jeff Huber and Cathy Huber, with Hailey Schneider and Carter Vernon. The guard director is Autumn Johnson. Student drum majors are Keauna Allen and Ozzy Gilbert

VIEWPOINT Manchester grad supports referendum

Dear Editor: I am writing as a 19 year resident of North Manchester. We have a unique and important opportunity to invest in our schools and enrich our community with the school referendum on the ballot on November 6. I encourage voters to vote “Yes!” As a small community we must invest in ourselves – we cannot wait for someone else. What better way to invest in our community than investing in our schools? “Yes!” Though the project is multi-faceted and includes important

safety needs for our schools, one significant part I want to address that contributes to student enrichment is a fieldhouse. Students will be impacted by a fieldhouse in multiple ways which could include opportunities to host sporting events, FFA, band practices and competitions, Science Olympiad, AAU tournaments, camps, and countless other activities. “Yes!” I have seen firsthand the positive impact that similar buildings have on the schools and communities they service. I have

been asked the question, “How would this help the community?” One example is the ability to host high school indoor track and field meets in the winter. Speaking with a program that has a similar facility and hosts high school indoor track and field meets, they average 400 student-athletes per meet and typically host six one-day meets per year. Profit per meet averages $5,000. Visiting student-athletes for events like this will bring parents, friends, and fans to North Manchester every time they are

Wagoner family appreciates support

here – people who will eat in our restaurants, shop in our stores, and buy gas at our stations. Imagine the other possibilities and activities a facility like this will provide! “Yes!” This school referendum is an investment in the future of our students, community, and town that we cannot overlook. We can achieve great things together when we say “Yes!” Projects like this attract new families, keep property

values high, and establish us as educational leaders. “Yes!” I am grateful for the generosity of people who have contributed to projects before me. Let’s demonstrate our commitment, pride, and support to current MCS students and generations to come. Join me in voting “Yes” for the school referendum. — Brian Cashdollar, North Manchester

Smoke-free ordinance needed in Wabash Dear Editor: Smoke–free policies do not take away the right to smoke cigarettes. If someone chooses to smoke, they have taken that right for themselves but should not pass their choice on to someone who chooses to not smoke. We all like to think we have the right to breathe clean, smoke free air. Policies have developed throughout the years to clean the air from the pollutants that have been caused by industries and motor vehicles. When we saw the smokestacks around us, we did not think of the air being polluted until after it was done. We now are trying to prevent it from getting

worse and clean up what is already out there. We are doing that because we have learned of the ill effects caused to the lungs and our bodies. I have never heard anyone protest against such action. At one time we did not think anything of cigarette smoke. Inhaling it into our lungs and breathing it in the air. But through the years we have learned of the illeffects cigarette smoke causes to the lungs and body. We have learned that over 400,000 people die a year from cigarette smoke related diseases. That 41,000 deaths are caused by secondhand smoke. Out of that 41,000, 1,300 are from Indiana, seven

Burns called dedicated To the Editor: As a Lagro Township resident and voter I am writing to support Bev Burns for the position of Lagro Township Trustee. Bev’s credentials of being the Township Deputy for the past eight years show that she is dedicated to the residents of Lagro Township. She has the knowledge as to what has been going on with the township, and I feel she is the best candidate to continue moving forward with what has transpired over the past eight years. I have known Bev for over 30 some years. We worked together at Sharp Creek Elementary where I observed her as a caring, intelligent person, who was willing to listen and work with any student. I feel Bev will continue to serve the Lagro Township residents with compassion and leadership. She will do this by continuing to be in tune to what we need done, which will insure our township to move forward. Please join me in voting for Bev Burns for Lagro Township Trustee on Nov. 6. — Deb Schenkel, Lagro Township

are from Wabash County. Why do we protest or not accept what needs to be done to protect everyone from the dangers of secondhand smoke? Why do we first think that we are violating the rights of those who smoke and not think of those who don’t? We have learned that 89.4 percent of Hoosiers support smoke-free policies, including 76.3 percent of those who smoke, and 92.6 percent of those who do not smoke. Many people that smoke respect the space (air) of those that do not and make a point to not smoke around them. However, the few that don’t care or are not sensitive to those that are around

them while they smoke, need direction on where to smoke. That is why a smoke-free ordinance is being introduced to Wabash. To help protect the welfare of every resident, even those who smoke. The smoke-free ordinance does not take away the person’s right to smoke, it just helps protect the rights to breathe cleaner air by everyone living in Wabash. It is important that you contact your city council member to let them know you support the smoke-free ordinance and you want them to as well. - Dan Gray, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition

Dear Editor: On Oct. 11, 2018 the doctors declared what we already knew; Reese Wagoner was cancer free. The day we found out Reese was stricken with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma we laid hands on him and prayed. We spoke to the cancer and said, “In the name of Jesus shrivel and die,” and of course it had no choice, because every believer has a covenant with God signed and sealed with the blood of Jesus. Now, I have no doubt that a person without any belief in God can be healed with the help of very good doctors, but oh what a relief it is to walk through this hand in hand with Jesus. God spoke to Reese’s grandma and said, “Trust Me.” And we took God at His word. Whenever there were times of doubt we simply rolled it over on God. “Father you said trust you and so we’re not going to worry about this report from the hospital. We’re going to give it you. Our worry wouldn’t change anything, anyway.” Reese had so much support from so many people. It was amazing to watch and very uplifting to all involved. Kids from school came over and ate meals with Reese, they shaved their heads with Reese, colored their hair for Reese, brought gift baskets, made Reese a part of the football team, showered the family with love, and was a friend. The school teachers and administration at Manchester High School made it easy for Reese to continue his education and keep up with his class, even though he missed several days. The church family was amazing in their support for Reese. The church supported him with lots of awesome prayer, gave monetarily, gave physical support and showered love on him. The community planned and supported fund raisers, showed concern for Reese, and was generally willing to help where needed. Hilary, Reese’s mother has a Timbercrest family that did everything they could to support her and make things go smoothly. And, finally, Reese has a blood family that, well, I have no words that can adequately describe what they done for Reese. They were pure awesome sauce. Family was God’s original plan and it is still the best plan available. Don’t wait until a time of crisis to find out you need family. Thank you from the bottom of our heart. — Reese Wagoner’s family

Former Manchester board member supports building project referendum Dear Editor: When Robert Fulton invented the steamboat in 1807, some called in “Fulton’s Folly.” When the Wright brothers flew their airplane in 1903, some refused to believe the event actually occurred. No doubt Edison, Bell, Whitney, Ford, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, et all also faced skepticism, even derision, when their innovations were unveiled. While the proposed Manchester Community School building project is not of the magnitude of those mentioned above, the principle is the same. During his 1968 presidential primary campaign, Robert Kennedy often quoted George Bernard Shaw saying, “Some people see things as they are and say, ‘Why?’. I dream of things that never were and ask, ‘Why not?’” Like it or not, we live in a world of change. It is a fact that rural areas are facing the reality of declining population across the age spectrum. We are in competition with other school districts in the recruitment of students, teachers and administrators. How we react to this reality will define us in years to come. On the “Vote No” signs I have seen, promoting business growth and putting academics first are among the reasons given. This seems a bit disingenuous due to the fact that MCS has always put academics first, and that one of the most effective ways to attract new business is to have in place an innovative school system. All students will benefit from this proposal. I’m certain that those engaged full time in agriculture are aware, more than most, of the difference between investment and expense. This proposed building program is clearly an investment in the children of our community and in the viability of one of our most valued institutions. I hope it will receive the support of the farm community as well as the broader con-

stituency. Although not always stated as such, I surmise much of the cause of opposition to the project is based on the issue of property taxes. There seems to be some confusion about how much the proposal would add to the current school portion of our tax bills. The correct figure is $0.2125 per $100 of assessed value. For confirmation of this figure and more detailed analysis provided by the CPA firm of Umbaugh and Associations, see “Frequently Asked Questions” on the MCS website. Page three explains this used in prose form, and page four provided a graphic illustration. In fact, as the graph shows, once the current debt is retired in 2026, the maximum rate that can be applied is only $0.07 above where we currently stand. Using my own farmland taxes as an example, my per acre tax bill would rise $1.86 per acre from 2017 to per 2018 had this project been approved and in force this year. That is hardly an amount to give once pause given the long-term benefit to our educational system. In the past few days, I have heard some figures of $5 to $7 per acre being floated as the tax impact of this proposal. Intentionally or not, these figures are grossly misleading. All three of Angilee’s and my children were educated in MCS, and I served on the school board for a time in the late 1980s. MCS was then, and is today, a highly regarded educational enterprise and the envy of many outside our borders. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society.” Are we a people who view the glass half empty or half full? I hope it will be the latter. Our children and their children’s children are dependent on our response. “Kids First!” – Leland Beery, North Manchester

Red Cross seeks blood drive hosts Looming shortfall of blood drives could impair patient care By The Paper staff FORT WAYNE — Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. To help meet the constant demand for lifesaving blood donations and prevent blood shortages this winter, the American Red Cross is urging individuals and organizations to be winter heroes by hosting a blood drive. Right now, the Red Cross needs about 6,500 additional groups across the country to host blood drives in December, January and February to ensure blood will be there for patients who rely on blood products. In the Red Cross Indiana Ohio Region,

about 180 more blood drive hosts are needed. During the winter, there is often a decrease in the number of blood drives, which can contribute to blood shortages. “When someone hosts a blood drive, they give donors a chance to donate lifesaving blood, in turn helping to save dozens or even hundreds of lives,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Biomedical Services. “Blood shortages are not uncommon during the winter months, and these shortages could cause delays in patient care. But with the help of volunteer blood drive partners, the Red Cross can be better prepared to meet patient needs all winter long.” To learn more about hosting a blood drive and to sign up, v i s i t

RedCrossBlood.org/ HostADrive. Blood drive partners who host a drive between Dec. 20 and Jan. 6 will receive longsleeved Red Cross Tshirts for all who come to give, and if the partner achieves its donation goal, it will be recognized in a national newspaper highlighting its lifesaving work. Because more than 80 percent of blood donations are made at blood drives hosted by volunteers, blood drive partners play a vital role in helping ensure a sufficient blood supply for patients in need. In addition to helping save lives, organizations that host blood drives can also build goodwill in their community, bringing people together around a central cause. Organizing a blood drive is easier than many expect, and

blood drive coordinator Joe Turner agrees. Since 2016, Turner has hosted an annual blood drive at his church in memory of his father, Woody, who battled cancer for many years and needed platelets during treatment. “Hosting a blood drive with Red Cross is pretty simple,” said Turner. “The donor recruitment

manager takes care of the drive logistics, and I help by asking my friends and family to schedule an appointment to give blood at the drive.” A Red Cross representative works with the host every step of the way, providing planning assistance, tools to recruit blood donors, equipment and supplies, and the trained staff needed to screen donors and

collect donations. Blood drive hosts provide a large, open location, identify volunteers to support donor recruitment, and recruit and schedule blood donors. Turner actively recruits blood donors for the drive using social media, flyers and a SleevesUp campaign. “I would encourage those who are thinking about host-

ing a blood drive to simply do it. Help your community. Everybody knows somebody who has needed blood, or may need blood at some point,” said Turner. “When you think of how many people can benefit from the blood donations given at one drive, that’s most rewarding to me.”

Scott Humphries, an assistant professor at M a n c h e s t e r University, conducts the symphony.

This performance is part of the Values, Ideas and The Arts series at the University.

MU Monster Mash offers safe, fun trick-or-treating From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r University’s annual Monster Mash will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24. The event welcomes children and their families to an exciting and fun night of trick-or-treating at Garver Hall, East Hall, Oakwood Hall and the new Jean

Childs Young Intercultural Center. It is free and open to all community children. One of the changes for this year comes at East Hall, which has traditionally focused on a “wing wars” decorating competition. This year, you can expect a kid-friendly haunted theme. The Intercultural Center will host “Halloween around the World” from 6-8

p.m. in the Toyota Round. Trick-or-treating and displays at East, Oakwood, the Intercultural Center and the first floor of Garver will be suitable for young children. There will also be face painting, caramel apples and popcorn. The upper floors at Haunted Garver are likely too scary for little ones.

“Monster Mash gives kids a safe environment to trick-ortreat in and allows them to celebrate Halloween and to have fun doing it,” said student Jamie Soposky, who coordinates communications for the Residence Hall Association and is Garver committee leader for this event. “It also is a great way for the campus and the community to

interact. It’s just an easy way for Manchester to give back to the community that surrounds it.” “My favorite part of Monster Mash is seeing the kids come and enjoy themselves. For me, Halloween has always been a time to look like a goofball and get lots of candy, and to be able to see kids come to Manchester and do exactly that is so heartwarming,”

Soposky said. “I am so excited for Monster Mash this year because it is going to be done in a completely new way for the community, and I get to be part of creating it!” Kendal Whitford, president of the Residence Hall Association, is also excited for this year’s Monster Mash. “It

was so fun to see all the children and parents enjoy our event in the past and I only hope to make it better this year!” Trick or treating for the Town of North Manchester is 5-8 p.m. Oct. 31. M a n c h e s t e r University students volunteer at the Haunted Police Station.

Did you know? Much like their many of their human counterparts, pets do not always relish winter. Animals can experience arthritis pain or fatigue when the cold sets in. Shorter periods of daylight also may make them less active and likely to sleep for longer periods of time. In an effort to stay warm, some pets get creative. Cats can unintentionally put themselves in danger just to chase a chill away. The American Animal Hospital Association says cats will curl up against almost anything, including car engines, to stay warm. Cats caught in moving engine parts can be seriously hurt or killed. Before you turn your engine on, check

beneath the car or make a lot of noise by honking the horn or rapping on the hood. Also, if you have exposed radiators in a home or apartment, construct a cover to prevent cats and dogs from climbing on the exposed coils. The hot water pumping through radiators can cause burns. Cats and dogs also may get too close to fireplaces, so use a protective screen to keep them away from hot embers. Pets also can knock over portable heaters in an attempt to get warm. Look for models that automatically shut off if they fall over to reduce your risk of fire.

Study links opioid ODs, depression From the Purdue University News Bureau W E S T LAFAYETTE — The link between mental health disorders and substance abuse is well-documented. Nearly one in 12 adults in the U.S is depressed, and opioid-related deaths are skyrocketing. As these numbers continue to climb, some mental health professionals have started to wonder if there’s a link between the two. According to a new study published in Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, the link is strong. “For every additional 1 percent of the population that has a depression diagnosis, we see between a 25 and 35 percent increase in the number of opioid overdose deaths,” said Laura Schwab Reese, an assistant professor of health and kinesiology at Purdue University, who led the study. “We thought maybe suicide was driving this, but we sectioned out unintentional overdose and found that the relationship continued.” More than 72,000

Americans died of drug overdoses in 2017, mostly from opioids. The Trump administration declared the crisis a public health emergency in October 2017, but the end is still out of sight. This, coupled with rising rates of depression and a lack of access to mental health care for many, is proving to be deadly. Schwab Reese and Madeline Foley, a student at Riverdale Country School, analyzed data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on opioid-related deaths from 2011 to 2015. Rates of opioid-related deaths were generally stable from 2011 to 2013, but increased substantially in the two following years. Data on depression was collected by a telephone survey of more than 400,000 people across the country. About 19 percent of respondents reported a depression diagnoses in 2015 – up from 17.5 percent in 2011. “We know from prior literature that people who are depressed are more likely to be prescribed opioids, but

also that people who are prescribed opioids are more likely to become depressed,” said Schwab Reese. “We need to recognize that this is probably a bidirectional relationship.” The solution, said Schwab Reese, is twofold. Doctors should screen for depression and discuss the risk with patients before prescribing opioids. Because nearly twothirds of opioid overdoses involve prescription medications, doctors could play a significant role in preventing opioid misuse and depression. Second, Americans need better access to

mental health care. More than 40 million Americans have a mental health condition, and more than half of them don’t receive treatment. In West Virginia, the state with the highest number of opioidrelated deaths in 2015, nearly a million people live in areas with a shortage of mental health care providers. The U.S. would need an additional 3,000 providers to meet American’s mental health needs, according to another study. “We can’t say this person had depression and that led to an overdose – this was a populationlevel analysis,” said

LAURA SCHWAB REESE Schwab Reese. “To me, that means we need a populationlevel response.” The work aligns with Purdue’s Giant Leaps celebration, acknowledging the

university’s global advancements made in health, longevity and quality of life as part of Purdue’s 150th anniversary. This is one of the four themes of the

yearlong celebration’s Ideas Festival, designed to showcase Purdue as an intellectual center solving real-world issues.

DAR has October meeting Article provided The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Tuesday, Oct. 9, at the Grandstaff-Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash. The meeting opened with the DAR ritual. Devotions were John 15: 10-11 “Obey M y Commandments,” given by Mary Jenet Penrod, Chaplain. The October President General’s message from Ann Turner Dillon was shared by Joyce Joy. The DAR Museum loaned a women’s suit to the Supreme Court for the current exhibit “In Re Lady Lawyers: The Rise of Women Attorneys and the Supreme Court,” which is open to the public through 2020. Belva Lockwood was the first woman lawyer to argue a case before the Supreme Court. She was also a civil rights activist, suffragist and a DAR member. The National Defender Report was

on the Wright Brothers. A quote from the December 24, 1897 issue of the Washinton Post stated, “It is a fact…that man cannot fly!” At that moment in our history, the times were alive with inventions of all types: Kodak camera, electric sewing machine, first elevator, safety razor, motor car, etc. all built in America. It was two men of Ohio, Orville and Wilbur Wright completed four successful flights on Thursday, December 17, 1903. It had taken four years, with five round-trips from Dayton to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, traveling seven thousand miles by train, all to fly little more than half a mile. Yes, they had mastered the problem of mechanical flying but understood they needed to learn about flying and this would come more experience. The Indian Committee Minute report was on the two types of Code Talking during World War I and II. The Conservation Minute was on inva-

sive insect species. The American Flag circled the world by air from April 6 to Sept. 28, 1924, when six U.S. Air Force crewmen flew around the world. C o r re s p o n d e n c e was a thank you from Honor Flight Northeast Indiana, invitation to 238th annual commemoration of the American Revolutionary event of Colonel Augustine de la Balme Nov. 3, and rededication of Anderson’s historic World War I Monument Sunday, Nov. 11. The Madonna of the Trail monument, dedicated to the spirit of pioneer women

in 1912, located in Richmond, was an inspirational presentation. This was followed by the Levi and Catharine Coffin Home Museum picture tour in Fountain City, Indiana, the crossroads to three Underground Railroad routes North. The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be on Nov. 13 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 A m e r i c a n Revolution. Those having questions

Wabash CrossFit gives gift to WMI By The Paper staff Wabash CrossFit officials made a financial contribution to Wabash Marketplace Inc. from the proceeds of its Crash the Bash event in downtown Wabash. The program coincided with October’s First Friday Wabash event. Located on Miami Street, Crash the Bash brought in dozens of competitors and viewers to downtown Wabash. “Holding Crash the Bash in Downtown Wabash during a First Friday event was a great way to showcase our amazing community to so many outside of Wabash,” Wabash CrossFit owner Jakae Swope Hire said. “We had local athletes and more that traveled from Fort Wayne, L a f a y e t t e ,

Indianapolis, South Bend, and Muncie. Many athletes received goodie bags full of coupons from several local businesses as well.” WMI Project Coordinator Tyler Karst thanked organizers for the donation. “We are thankful to have the support of Wabash CrossFit and glad so many had a great time during our First Friday event,” he said. “It takes the support of all in the community and visitors to make this an exciting event for our community. We cannot wait until next year.” For more information regarding the 2018 First Friday Calendar of special events or to find out how to become involved, please visit our website, www.wabashmarketplace.org, or contact Tyler Karst at 260563-0975.

Bears’ Mack draws high praise By Bill Barrows

Chicago Bears Super Bowl champion Dan Hampton, one of the greatest Bears of all time, says he thinks Khalil Mack “is the best defensive player we’ve had in 30 years.” Let that settle in for a moment. “Brian Urlacher was a great player,” the Hall of Famer Hampton said. Think about that a bit deeper. Other players within that era are Richard Dent, Mike Singletary, and Hampton himself, all Hall of Famers. ESPN’s new documentary, “Basketball: A Love Story” is 20 hours of interviews, film clips and historical accounts of the game. It is must see for all roundball fans. Baseball fans, don’t sleep on Craig Counsell influencing the ALCS with a few subtle or non-conventional moves for the Brewers that put them

in a position to get to the World Series. Red Sox super utility man Brock Holt hit for the cycle in a 16-1 rout of the Yankees in Game 3 of ALDS. Where was he at the start of Game 4? On the bench. He was ready to contribute when the chance presented itself. Team player. Former IU running back George Taliaferro, the first African-American player drafted by the NFL died last week at 91. He led a fascinating life. IU basketball coach Bob Knight asked him in 1972 to help recruit AfricanAmerican players and their friendship evaporated over time. Former Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira ripped Aaron Judge for blaring “New York, New York” on a boombox outside the Red Sox’ clubhouse following Game 2 of the ALDS, where the Yanks lit up David

Price for three runs in less than two innings of work. According to Teixeira, Judge needlessly poked the Red Sox, who went on to outscore the Bombers 20-4 in two wins at Yankees Stadium to wrap up the ALDS. “You woke a sleeping giant! Aaron Judge has no rings.” Yankees manager Aaron Boone walked down to the Red Sox clubhouse to congratulate Alex Cora on the ALDS win. A warm embrace and some encouraging words by both. Remember, these two guys are good friends and worked as analysts at ESPN together. From ESPN’s Mike Greenberg: Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant would have been immortal players regardless of who coached them. But there is no way they would have won 11 titles between them

BILL BARROWS had it not been for Tex Winter who died at 96 last week. Remember when your mother nagged at you as a kid to get proper rest? Well Tom Brady is incredibly conscious about his fitness, which has allowed him to keep playing quarterback at an elite level in his 40s. While the New England Patriots star frequently vocalizes the importance of a proper diet and workout regimen, he took to Instagram last week to

stress an equally important facet of his day-to-day life: sleep. Hmmm .... Mom may have been right. The Dodgers infield of Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Davey Lopes & Steve Garvey stayed together 8 1/2 years until Cey’s marriage to Yoko Ono finally tore them apart .... or was that another Fab Four? Indiana Pacers Hall of Famer Reggie Miller has high expectations for his former team this season. “My personal Top 4: Boston, Philly, Indiana, Toronto,” Miller said last week. Miller believes LeBron James’ departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Los Angeles Lakers leaves the Eastern Conference wide open. “You can accomplish anything in your life you want to work for.” Drew Brees

Create spooky effects for Halloween Halloween is a great time to explore your creative side, especially when it comes to decorating for trick-or-treaters or planning a party. Many special spooky effects can be used to create the scary, intimidating atmosphere you desire. • Dry ice: Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is a good coolant because it can reach temperatures below that of ice and it will not leave a puddle or damp residue behind. Dry ice changes from a solid to a gas with no liquid form, through a process of sublimation. Place dry ice in punch bowls or beverage glasses. Or use dry ice in any other liquid to create billowing plumes of vapor that add to the spooky effects. Just be sure to handle dry

ice very carefully and make sure it is inaccessible to curious kids. • Smoke machine: Rent or purchase smoke machines, which can be found at party stores or big box retailers, to add to your eerie atmosphere. Dim the lights and have smoke rolling through the party room or by the front door. • Lightning and thunder kits: These kits combine strobe lights or lighting effects with sound systems to simulate the sounds and sights of a thunderstorm. • Accent lighting: Drape a nonflammable piece of fabric over a lampshade to cast different hues around a room. This also dims the brightness in the room, creating shadows here and there.
