Holiday season kicks off this weekend By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The 2015 holiday season will officially kick off in Wabash later this week as the lights atop the Wabash County Courthouse will be turned on and the Holiday Night to Remember will take place downtown on Friday and Saturday.

Downtown businesses will have open houses from 4-8 p.m. Friday and again from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Meanwhile, the Celebration of Light, which includes the lighting of the Wabash County Courthouse holiday lights, will begin at 6:30 p.m. The Celebration of Light will include the arrival of Santa

Claus via firetruck and performance by Vocal Impact, the Wabash County youth choir. The Courthouse lighting ceremony is a family tradition for so many people, according to Christine Flohr, executive director of Visit Wabash County. “That lighting of the courthouse kicks off the holiday season, the holiday frenzy,” she

said. “You know that Black Friday is coming soon. You know that the storefronts are going to be decorated. “But it’s tradition in its truest sense. It’s tradition, and families look forward to doing that together year after year.” Shelby McLaughlin, Wabash Marketplace Inc.’s project manager, agrees that the lighting

ceremony is one of the most anticipated events every year. “It’s on everyone’s calendar,” she said, noting she recently checked with the Wabash Fire Department to make sure they were ready for the event. “They said, ‘It’s been on the calendar all year.’ “It’s awesome to see all the (continued on page 3)

LaFontaine dedicates Veterans Memorial By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com LAFONTAINE – About 300 people were on hand Saturday morning to watch as a memorial dedicated to area veterans was dedicated here. The unveiling of the memorial highlighted an hour-long ceremony that featured music, speeches, a gun salute and “Taps.” Before the monument was State Sen. Jim Banks gives the keynote address unveiled, emcee Donna during the dedication ceremony Ballard explained how the project developed. “In March of 2014, the LaFontaine Festival Board and the LaFontaine Lions Club had our first veterans coffee and snack,” she said. “This was a time when the LaFontaine Town Festival was going to honor our veterans as Hometown Heroes.” (continued on page 2)

International country music star Crystal Gayle performed at the Wabash County Historical Museum on Thursday, Nov. 12, to help celebrate the museum’s 10th anniversary. Although the museum originally planned for 75 to attend the event, due to public demand, museum executive director Mitch Figert said it opened the doors to approximately 100 museum members and non-members to see Gayle live. Gayle, a former Wabash resident and Wabash High School graduate, was also present when the museum celebrated its grand opening in 2005. Since then, the singer said the museum has changed “for the better.” “I love the museum so much and I’m so glad they opened it 10 years ago,” Gayle told The Paper of Wabash in an interview. “They’re growing and expanding and bringing in the whole community and the communities around Wabash, because it’s not just Wabash in this sense. It’s all the way around of what they’re bringing in the history of Indiana in a lot of ways. (continued on page 22)

LaFontaine dedicates Veterans Memorial The meeting served as a fact-finding mission, she continued. “We found close to 1,000 men and women from this area have served since the War of 1812 until present,” Ballard said. “These men and women gave of their lives, hearts and souls to defend this great nation.” One of the veterans, she noted, was

George Barnes, who was on a mission of his own. After visiting numerous veterans’ memorials around the state, he wondered why LaFontaine didn’t have one of its own. “He brought this idea to the veterans meeting for coffee,” Ballard said, “and the dream came alive.” The search began

for a proper site. The group was offered space in the LaFontaine IOOF Cemetery, but it was deemed to be too small. The LaFontaine Lions then offered a parcel of land immediately west of the community building. Soon, more help came together, with McDonald Funeral

Home purchasing two benches that flank the memorial, Wabash artist Bill Stouffer and Barnes drew up plans for the memorial, while John and Joy Krhin provided a mural on the side of the community building. The LaFontaine Gravel Co. donated the gravel and cement for the plot, while Jay Gillespie volunteered his time to excavate the area. Charles Chambers donated his time to do the cement work, while the area veterans helped lay the memorial bricks that line the walkway around the memorial. Following the unveiling, State Sen. Jim Banks gave the keynote address. He praised all the veterans in the crowd, thanking them for their dedication and service to their country. He also praised all the military spouses for all the sacrifices they must make when their loved one is deployed. His wife, Amanda, was one such spouse. A Naval Reservist, Banks was deployed to Afghanistan for part of 2014 and 2015, requiring him to take a leave of absence from his Statehouse post. Mrs. Banks was appointed to fill his spot until his return. “My wife Amanda

She’s unique, because she stepped up and became a state senator while I was gone. But military spouses are often forgotten. They don’t get the free cups of coffee on Veterans Day, like I do, but our military spouses are truly the backbone of this country.” He also talked about the need to getting more young Americans interested into serving in the military.

“Think about that for a moment, then thing about what we’re here to do today,” he said, noting that he believes Saturday’s ceremony honoring veterans is far different than the attitude toward veterans in Washington. For a community to get together to thank veterans for their service “is the greatest tribute of all.” He also said it gives him hope that there are thousands of patriotic citizens who support veterans. Barnes and Jim Wilson, who served as the main fundraiser for the project, thanked all who helped contribute to the project.

Third grade students from S o u t h w o o d Elementary School, under the direction of Ronda Dubuque, performed several patriotic songs, including “America the Beautiful” and “God Bless America.” Josie Wade performed the national anthem while, immediately after the memorial was unveiled, Dr. Tom Mansbarger sang “God Bless the U.S.A.” Following the ceremony, an emotional Barnes was at a loss for words. “It’s been a lot of hard work,” he said with a breaking voice. “But I think everyone will appreciate it.”

City of Wabash submits ABC quarterfinal plan By The Paper staff The City of Wabash, in conjunction with the E c o n o m i c Development Group (EDG) of Wabash County is excited to announce that they have completed the submission of their

“Dream Big. Be Big” Quarter-Finalist Plan for the America’s Best C o m m u n i t i e s Competition. The America’s Best Communities (ABC) competition is sponsored by Frontier Communications, Dish Network, The Weather

Channel, and CoBank. The program was created to help address the need for growth in small cities and towns across America by investing in innovative ideas to build and sustain local economies that can be replicated in other rural commu-

nities across the country. The City of Wabash partnered with the EDG and American Structurepoint Inc. to submit an application for the program. The City of Wabash was selected in April 2015 as a Quarter-Finalist. That achievement garnered the City of Wabash $50,000 from the ABC sponsors and its community partner Calix, Inc., as well as $15,000 of local funding to put together an innovative and transformative plan to help fuel growth in the City of Wabash. EDG then contracted with American Structurepoint and Green Hat Productions to help create plan. The team established a steering committee made up of numerous community leaders, brainstormed through a number of bold and transformative ideas, and ultimately condensed them down into the “Dream Big. Be Big.” plan that not only fit the guidelines for the competition but if

successfully implemented would foment long lasting positive change in the community. Fifteen semi-finalists in the ABC competition will be announced in January, 2016, and they will be invited to an upcoming ABC summit to present their plans to a panel of judges. At the Summit, eight communities will be selected to receive $100,000 to implement their plans with the opportunity to secure up to $3,000,000 in additional prize money if selected as a grand prize winner. The plan centers around four main themes – Livability, E n t r e p r e n e u r s h i p, Visitor Amenities, and Parks & Recreation, all of which lend to the idea of “quality of place” and economic development in the community. The plan includes both projects that are easier to implement as well as larger scale projects that will require more resources. These proj-

ects include: — Visitor Experience: Hydration stations, digital kiosks, and a reimagined Miami Street plaza — Livability: Community Livability study, “Keep Wabash Beautiful” program, and housing creation — Parks and Recreation: Southside Park Pavilion, Southside park amenities and Site improvements, and the extension of the Cultural Trail. — Entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurial Support program, Student CEO program, and a Shared Workspace A copy of the full plan can be viewed via the America’s Best Community page on the City of Wabash website (www.cityofwabash.com), and video submissions for the ABC competition including for the final plan can be viewed on the Wabash ABC Vimeo page (https://vimeo.com/us er41666233). “Dream Big.

It’s not specific to kids or adults. “The adults can shop and the kids can see Santa and tell him all of their Christmas wishes.” In addition to stopping at the Wabash County Courthouse, Santa also will be on Canal Street from 7:15-8 p.m. Friday and at the Wabash County Historical Museum from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Sponsored by Wabash Marketplace and the downtown merchants, participants in the Holiday Night to Remember activities will have a chance to win “money” to spend downtown, organizers said. “It is huge, and we’re hoping for a big turnout this year,” McLaughlin

said. “We have 28 featured businesses, along with the Celebration of Light at the Courthouse.” The public is invited to pick up a map at a participating business. They are then required to visit all the other participating businesses to receive a stamp on the map from each site. There will be an adult map and a youth map. Maps must be completed and turned in by 3 p.m. Saturday to any of the participating business. First place for adults is $1,000 in Downtown Bucks. Second place will receive $500, while third will receive $250 and fourth will receive $150. A youth contest also is planned. Two winners will receive $50. McLaughlin, who was named to her WMI post two weeks ago, is

experiencing her first Holiday Night to Remember. “Being the project manager, I kind of got thrown into it, but I’m really excited,” she said. “We’ve hit the ground running and trying to get everything finalized. “It’s going to be great. All the downtown merchants truly care about this event and the outcome it brings to Wabash.” Flohr said the event “is an opportunity for the spirit of the City of Wabash to really shine and to engage those who are visiting. “People become nostalgic this time of year, and Wabash has this charm about it with its pedestrian friendly sidewalks and the way the storefronts are decorated. Those visitors who come from larger markets like Fort

Wayne and Huntington remember back to a time when it was a little slower and everybody knew everybody.” The Trolley No.85 will be running this weekend to help people get to businesses up the hill, McLaughlin said. “And it’s going to be Christmased-out,” she said of the vehicle’s decorations. Again this year there will be a People’s Choice window decorating contest for the various merchants. The public will be able to view and choose the window that the displays the best Christmas spirit. The winning business will receive a prize from

created,” said Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham. “The ideas that our team is proposing to implement if we are selected as a semi-finalist and ultimately as a winner are very innovative, and when partnered with the other programs we have going on in Wabash would have a huge impact on our community.” “We were excited when Mayor Va n l a n d i n g h a m brought this contest to our attention and humbled when he asked EDG to lead an effort to bring this to Wabash,” said Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the EDG of Wabash County. “Whether we advance into the next round or not, we know we have a winning revitalization plan. Our journey to become America’s Best Community doesn’t end when the semifinalists are announced. Our “Dream Big. Be Big.” plan sets us on a bold course to a more vibrant, prosperous future and we are thrilled to be a part of it.”

To the People of Wabash

WMI. “There’s a hilarious competitiveness among the businesses about what their windows are going to look like,” Flohr said. McLaughlin added, “It’s all over social media.”

I would like to thank the voters and the departments for their support over the years. My hope is for our fair city to continue to move forward with all it has to offer our citizens- young and old alike. Word of the day- “Due Diligence.”

He thanked all those who helped organize the event – whether they are on the committee, members of the receiving agencies or on the various chili teams. “This community has come through for many, many years, with its money, with its time, with its donations of services and prizes,” he continued. “We certainly appreciate it.” Committee member Wade Weaver added, “We just absolutely love what we do here.” “We don’t try to reinvent it every year,” he continued. “We just work to make it as good, if not better, than it has been in the past.” Weaver also praised Titus, who is retiring as Wabash Park Department superintendent at the end of

We had a really good event this year.”

the year. “Hopefully the new administration will allow him to do as much as we need him to do,” he said. This year set a record attendance, Weaver noted, with nearly 4,000 people paying the gate admission to sample chili prepared by the 87 teams present. The Honeywell Center Outreach Program received $2,000 from the committee, while the remaining eight agencies – the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society, 85 Hope, the FAME Festival, the Town of Roann, the Manchester Early Learning Center, Wabash County Transit, The Access Youth Center and Wabash Little League’s Challenger League – each received $4,750. The Outreach Program is the only program that has received money in all 13 years of the cookoff. Last year, according to Cathy Gatchel, Vice President of Development and Marketing for the H o n e y w e l l Foundation, the program served 80 schools in 12 counties, helping to bring art education to about 47,000 students. Mary Chrastil, president of the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society, said she has attended several events and keeps trying to encourage others from the community to attend. She said the group would use the funds for a variety of projects it now has underway. The FAME Festival, which takes place in March or April, will use its funds toward the 2016 program.

Dr. Rose Wenrich and new Executive Director Sandra Boone, RN, accepted the funds on behalf of 85 Hope, the county’s free clinic. Approaching its third year of operation, it had more than 1,100 visits in 2014. The Town of Roann will use its funds toward developing a park on the north side of the community, Clerk-Treasurer Bob Ferguson said. “The project we’re working on is right on the corner of 16 and Chippewa,” he explained. “We have a lot of traffic that goes through town on 16 that never turns and go through our downtown area. So what we’re wanting to do is put a gateway park on

one corner. This way we can put signage there to point people to the downtown area.” The park also will be available for other things, such as a smaller chili cook-off or a farmers market. “Right now, we have no empty storefronts in Roann, which is a big, big, big deal,” he continued. Janet French, Manchester Early Learn Center executive director, said the group would use its funds toward its new building project. “We provide daycare and pre-school for about 45 or 46 children every day,” she said. “We have a waiting list that’s more than 80, and we’re growing almost daily, and we’ve got no place to put them.” Wabash County Transit has provided

The Access will split its funds between the Alternative School Program, which it began at the beginning of the 2015-16 school year and its general fund, Director Liz Hobbs said. The Challenger League just completed its first year of competition. It allows special needs youngsters a chance to experience the fun of playing baseball, as well as interacting with other youngsters and adults. Challenger League board member Sam Hipskind said one of his sons, Matt, participated in the league this year. “He was born with brittle bone disease,

Challenger League … it was a no-brainer. I said, ‘Matt’s getting involved.’ If anyone likes baseball, if anyone likes the passion (of the game), you need to come to a Challenger League game. The kids are fantastic. They’re thrilled to be down

I don’t know if they even keep score down there. But they all participate and they’re a part of something.” The groups received a portion of the funds pledged on

Thursday. The remaining portion will come in 2016 when the Wabash County United Fund, which once again partnered with the chili committee to provide funds, disperses it.

Jones to speak at History Hunters By The Paper staff Local resident and historian Pete Jones will speak at the Wabash County Historical Museum’s next History Hunters event at noon Thursday, Nov. 19 in the newly named Crystal Gayle Theater.

Rick Abresh stands as he is recognized among 20 other veterans during the Wabash High School Veterans Day Program. All the veterans honored are tied to the school through children, grandchildren or are alumni themselves. Following the moments of recognition, the students then presented the veterans with “thank you” bags and hand written notes. Keynote speaker and school superintendent Jason Callahan, who served in the United States Airforce, recalled in his speech when he learned what it really meant to be a serve his country. His sergeant offered to train him if he wanted to be the best airman in the world. “He said, ‘I’ll train you on one condition. I’ll train you if you do it for someone else,’” Callahan said. “It was at that moment that I began to understand what it means to serve others and that it would require a sacrifice. … Today we pause to recognize the service and sacrifice of our community’s service men and women and the freedoms and opportunities they provided us.” Photo by Emma Rausch

Indiana Disaster Relief Fund begins for mid-year severe weather By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS – The State of Indiana has begun issuing an estimated $307,000 in payments to citizens in 27 counties, including Wabash County, who suffered damage due to severe weather in June and July. At this time, 49 checks for up to about $2,500 are being issued. This is based on the overall dollar amount available and a projected number of applicants — 118. “While Indiana did not qualify for disaster grants to citizens according to federal guidelines, there are many out there hurting, and our charge is to help our citizens,” said Governor Mike Pence. “The damage seen across the state as a result of this summer’s severe weather is far greater than some realize, and our state is well positioned to help ease the burden on those people still trying to recover.” Citizens in the following counties are eligible for the grants from the Indiana State Disaster Relief

Fund, which is administered by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security: Adams, Allen, Bartholomew, Blackford, Brown, Clark, Delaware, Grant, Hendricks, Huntington, Jackson, Jay, Jefferson, Jennings, Johnson, Marion, Monroe, Morgan, Owen, Putnam, Randolph, Ripley, Scott, Switzerland, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties. The counties qualified for U.S. Small B u s i n e s s Administration (SBA) low interest disaster loans. Applicants turned down for SBA loans are eligible for the state grants. The deadline to apply for SBA loans was Oct. 19. Applications for state relief will be paid according to a consistent formula until about January 20, 2016. At that time, any remaining funds will be supplementally and proportionally distributed to anyone qualifying for an amount more than the original award

cap. This process allows the state to assist qualifying applicants as soon as possible, while verifying that the funds will be available for all potentially eligible applicants. Indiana is one of the few states in the country that has a funded State Disaster

Relief Fund. Established in 2003, the fund provides assistance to disaster affected individuals and governments that were not eligible for federal disaster loans, but met the state’s criteria for disaster relief. Fees from retail fireworks sales provide the funding.

E m m a n u e l Christian School welcomed three new students, Davis Coyne, Jonathan Napier and Ariston Trusty to the American Christian Honor Society in a recent induction ceremony. This is the highest honor that Emmanuel Christian School gives out to their students. The American Christian Honor Society is a

nationally recognized honor society that is formed under the A m e r i c a n Association for Christian Schools. Emmanuel is a member of Chapter 411 of the American Christian Honor Society. They set guidelines for admission into the society and are very strict when it comes to qualifications. Being an honor society, the group focuses on grades. There is a

minimum of a 3.6 GPA to even be considered for the society. Above and beyond the grades though, the American Christian Honor Society looks at the individual and their life outside of the classroom as well. Students are chosen for the honor based on four established criteria: Academics, Christian Leadership, Christian Character and Christian Service.

Local resident celebrates 105-year mark By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Miller’s Merry Manor resident Florence Bradley celebrated her 105th birthday on Tuesday, Nov. 10, with a surprise party hosted by the nursing home staff. Bradley’s greatgrandson Chad Harris told The Paper of Wabash County he always thought she’d live to be pretty old. “She’s always been active since I’ve known her,” Harris said. “I think she was 60 when I was born, so I always thought she’d live to be fairly old. I’m not sure 105. That’s a really impressive age.” Bradley said the

secret to her longevity is “exercising. I’ve been working on the farm and keeping after my family. You get a lot of exercising in that way, working in the garden.” Miller’s Merry Manor activity director Tammy Grizzle confirmed that, to this day, Bradley actively exercises. “She always participates in the exercises classes when we announce them,” Grizzle said. “She’s still very active. Otherwise, you can always find her doing word searches.” Born in Blackford County in 1910, the former Florence Dick grew up on a farm. As a child, she walked a mile to school and,

occasionally, her teacher would pick her up in a pony cart to give her a ride. Bradley has resided in Wabash County since 1930 when she married J.D. Bradley and moved to a farm located on 500 North, approximately one mile north of Metro North Elementary School, according to Sharon Newhouse, Bradley’s daughter. For 55 years, Bradley helped her husband plow fields for planting, milk cows, raise poultry and hogs. On many cold mornings, she would bring the piglets inside the farmhouse kitchen to warm them before returning them to the barn later on. Other memories

she has include being chased by a bull, kicked by the cow and chased by a rooster that she had to swing her purse at to chase him away. In the 1950s, Bradley worked at Wabash Magnetics. “I worked there for about 20 years, or I think a little more than 20,” she said. Together, the couple raised three daughters, Patricia Wahlig, Beverley Anacker and Newhouse. “She taught us to have God in our lives and that God and religion is so important in our lives,” Newhouse said. “And she used to love to sing hymns in the church.” “I have had a good life,” Bradley said.

VIEWPOINT Beware: Scammers are out there Dear Editor: “Hi, Grandma. Hi Grandpa … That’s the way it starts. You receive a telephone call from a young person identifying himself or herself as a grandchild. They talk to you a while and you say, “Is that you, Johnnie? They respond, “Yes, this is me, Grandma.” You have now let them know that you think you are actually talking to your grandson named Johnnie. He says he has been involved in a dilemma and needs your help. Normally you would say, “Have you called your parents? “ He will say “No, not yet but I will if you can help me then I will call them and let them know that everything is OK. I came to New York (any town) to visit a friend and have had an accident. I

dropped my cell phone and reached down to pick it up and rear-ended the car in front of me. I was not texting or using my cell phone.” Grandma says, “It doesn’t sound like you, Johnnie.” Johnnie responds, “I broke my nose when I hit the steering wheel during the accident.” He continues, “I’m at the police station but not arrested or in jail. The police have my cell phone, my driver’s license and my insurance car. The people I hit had two kids in the car and both of them were injured. I told them I had (XYZ insurance) and my limit was $500,000. They wanted half of it up front. I have an attorney named Debra Harris; she is such a nice lady. She is trying to get them down to $125,000, but

thinks she can get to only a few thousand. She has your telephone number and will call you later with the details. I hope you can help me. I love you, Grandma.” This happened to us on Oct. 28, but in our case I had called my grandson’s cell phone and he did not answer. But, as I was talking to “Debra Harris,” he called my cell phone and told my wife he was at college in his dorm room. She said to me “It’s a scam,” and I heard my phone go click. The phone went dead. So everybody beware. This scam is out there and you could be next. For your information, the calling telephone number was 1281-545-0427. It is listed on the Internet as a scam number. – Ronald D. Anderson, Urbana

Global warming is a hoax

Dear Editor: In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. (Genesis 1:1). This means God created all things including the weather and its patterns. Those who believe in the hoax of global warming are trying to deny the existence of God, and have turned this issue into their god and religion. When God created the Earth he created great carbon filters called trees, plants and bushes, which give us oxygen and take in carbon. Carbon only makes up .04 percent of our atmosphere. Those scientists that are predicting global warming, a hoax, are using computer models, and how accurate are those models? How can global scientists predict what is going to happen to the earth 50 to 100 years from now, when meteorologists can’t predict the weather accurately 10 to 14 days from now?

A few years ago someone hacked into a climate scientist’s computer in England, and from the data they received, they found out that the scientist was cooking the books to make it look like there was global warming. When I was a kid, climate scientists were telling us that there was going to be an ice age. That time came and went and nothing happened. God is in control, not man. Climate scientist in both poles have studied the ice and found out that the ice and ice flows are growing and thickening. How do you explain the last couple of winters where Buffalo and Boston got record snowfall and more than 80 percent of the Great Lakes were frozen over? This issue is all about 1) destroying the oil and coal industry, 2) more government control over people, 3) pay-

ing m ore in taxes, 4) paying more for utilities. Are those who want to destroy the oil and coal industry willing to give up heating their homes and businesses with coal and oil? Are they willing to give up their vacations, by cars, boats, planes or bus? But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. (2 Peter 3:10) Since God is in control of all things, not man, global warming is a hoax. Why are we trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist? The Earth is cooling. The Earth goes through cycles where it is a little hotter than normal and where it gets cooler than normal. The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God. (Psalm 9:17) – Mike Peare, Huntington

Local Safe Places deserve praise Dear Editor: November is National Runaway Prevention Month and the Youth Services Bureau of Huntington County would like to take this time to thank all of the Safe Place sites and Host Homes serving Wabash County. These caring people are the first line of defense for youth in Huntington County who are contemplating running away. When faced with a conflict, some youth who do not have appropriate coping skills may think of running away or even contemplate suicide. Safe Place/Host Homes provides youth with immediate access to caring adults when they find themselves dealing with a crisis. The majority of

youth who seek assistance through the Safe Place program is due to family issues. However, other reasons youth may seek assistance is if they feel they are being bullied, followed by a stranger, or contemplating suicide. There have been 11 youth who have used this service in 2015. Without the community partners, such as the Safe Place sites and the Host Homes, Wabash County youth would be left vulnerable! When youth make the decision to runaway they put themselves at great risk. Youth on the streets are more likely to become victims of abuse, sexual exploitation, malnutrition, and/or depression. They are also more likely to

misuse drugs and/or alcohol in order to cope with their situation. Runaway youth are also not maintaining their education which makes gaining employment even more difficult. Wabash County is very fortunate to have 40 caring businesses serve as Safe Place sites. When you see a business displaying the big yellow Safe Place sign, thank them for their efforts and their willingness to provide youth with immediate assistance. We are blessed to have two families who graciously serve our youth as Host Homes in our community. They are a vital part of our runaway and homelessness efforts. We are currently seeking addition families to

serve as Host Homes in Wabash County. The Youth Services Bureau would also like to thank the community for being so supportive of the agency and our efforts to meet the needs of Wabash’s young people and their families. Without community support many youth and families would not have the support they so desperately need. Feel free to contact the agency to learn more about the Safe Place and Host Home programs. We welcome your thoughts and comments. – Jan Williams, Youth Service Bureau of Huntington County executive director

Veterans, military personnel appreciated Dear Editor As Veterans Day recently passed, we again sincerely thank our veterans

and military personnel for serving and giving of their time to protect our freedoms.

Much appreciation for all who are still actively serving our country. God’s goodness

and favor for everyone. – Homer and Marcia Ousley

Smoking, diabetes is bad combination By Dan Gray More than 23 million Americans have diabetes and nearly one in four does not know they are diabetic. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death in Indiana, and the 2014 Surgeon General Report on Smoking found that cigarette smoking is a cause of type 2 diabetes, also known as adult-onset diabetes. Smoking increases the risk for diabetes by up to 40 percent and the risk increases the more cigarettes a person smokes. Smoking is also detrimental to people who are already dia-

betic. A person with diabetes who smokes is more likely to have trouble regulating insulin and controlling the disease than nonsmokers with diabetes. Those who smoke and have diabetes are also more likely to have serious health problems. Tobacco use damages blood vessels throughout the body. People with diabetes who smoke are 11 times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than people who do not have diabetes and do not smoke. Tobacco use also increases the risk of nerve damage. This can result in impotence in men,

digestion problems, and loss of feeling in your feet. There is also a risk of blindness and an increase chance for tooth decay. The health benefits of quitting smoking can begin right away in diabetics. In just eight weeks after quitting, studies have shown that insulin can start to become more effective at lowering blood sugar levels. During November, American Diabetes Month supports the millions of Americans impacted by this disease. It can also raise awareness for the risk factors, such as smoking, that

can lead to diabetes. Breaking the tobacco addiction has immediate and long term health benefits for men and women of all ages. There is no doubt that quitting is difficult, but getting professional help will improve chances for success. Those who want to quit smoking can call 1-800-QUIT-NOW, visit QuitNowIndiana.com or contact Dan at your local office for help, 260-274-2920, tobaccofreewabash@hotmail.com . Dan Gray is director of the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition.

Crystal Gayle helps celebrate museum’s 10th anniversary ... continued from the front page have in the middle of the museum, you’ll notice that on the doors it says ‘Crystal Gayle Theater’ and thanks to the amazing generosity of Crystal Gayle and her husband, Bill, and their partnership with the museum, tonight we’re going to unveil that as the Crystal Gayle Theater.” The renaming is more than “just putting a name on the door,” he continued. “It’s embracing what we want to do with that space, to use that space as a classroom for teachers that come in, use that as a space to do programing and, in the future, additional artifacts and pieces about (Gayle’s impact on the community.”

Figert said that the theater will “transform” over the next two months. After Figert turned over the microphone, Gayle performed a series of songs including some of her classic numbers, Christmas pieces and a few tunes from her new album before mingling with the audience. “I’m working on … a classic country album that’s almost done,” she continued. “I love being the studio. I love recording. I’m actually in the studio with my son, Chris. So we’ve been having a good time.” The two don’t argue too much, just a little bit, Gayle joked. “But once you’re

in the studio, through the years, being in the studio, doing video, all the things that go with recording artist’s career, you just love it. You can’t help it.” Gayle said she was so happy to be home in Wabash for the event. “Coming back to Wabash is coming back to home, you know, visiting my relatives and my friends,” she said. “It’s a great place. I loved growing up here. Every time we get into Indiana, it’s that feeling that maybe we should move home. “There’s so many friends and family here and they always their arms around me and I love you.”

The meeting was called to order by club president Keith Ford. Rick Morris reported that they had a good response from sponsors for the tractor pulls this year. They gave the Lions Club a donation to help with the payment of the rent of the land at the pull field. Donna Harman reported that due to a new rule for insurance at the Roann Town Hall, the Roann Lions Club would need to provide a certificate of insurance to the Town Hall. In other business, the Lions Club received a request from Mary Ann Mast for a donation to help buy some small gifts for nursing home residents at Christmas. A motion was made and approved to donate to this project. Dave Rogers, zone chairman was a guest at the meeting to induct two new Lions Club members into the club. Matt Schuler became a member by invitation of Dewayne Krom. Pam Woodall was invited to be a member by Rick Morris. The requirements as Lions Club members were read by Dave and the new members were given

their membership certificates and Lions Club pin. Dave shared with the club that since he lives in Miami County he would be trading responsibilities as zone chairman with Tom Polk of LaFontaine, who lives in Wabash County. Dave said he has enjoyed being a guest over the last several years at the Roann Lions Club meetings. There will be no December meeting, and the Lions Club will have a dinner meeting in January. Those attending the meeting/dinner were: Dave Rogers, Keith and Pam Ford, Don and Carolyn Everest, Vonell and Luella Krom, Pam Woodall, Roger and Donna Harman, Mary and Danny Shoemaker, Bill and Marcella Palmer, Denny Dyson, Harold and Bonnie Corn, Andy and Mary Jane Tyler, Matt Schuler and Amanda, Russell Krom, Dewayne Krom, and Rick Morris.

Hospital Gala honors Dugan as Healthcare Hero By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Parkview Wabash Hospital Foundation recognized Dr. William M. Dugan as a Healthcare Hero at the foundation’s 21st annual Gala on Saturday, Nov. 14. During his acceptance speech, Dugan took the opportunity to announce the hospital’s next screening project, colon cancer screening by utilizing Cologaurd Testing techonology. “Tonight it was a special thing to be able to announce our next screening project which we’re going to go with which is a new colon cancer screening project,” Dugan told The Paper of Wabash County. “There’s a new technology that measures the DNA in stool so if a person doesn’t want a colonoscopy – that’s the gold standard, that’s what everybody should have – but you

can get Cologuard, which is a DNA test. “You don’t have to have an anesthesia, you don’t have to have a prep,” he continued. “You can do it in your home, you can UPS it off and it’s either positive or negative. If it’s positive, you have to have a colonoscopy, but it eliminates the need of doing that and the people who have avoided it.” The reason this test is so important is because only 60 percent of United States citizens have been screened for colon cancer and “that’s not enough,” according to Dugan. “The Indiana Cancer Consortium is predicting that we should be at 80 percent at 2020,” he continued. “Breast cancer is a little over 70 (percent) and cervical cancer is a little over 80 (percent). So we really need to get colon cancer up there.” The Parkview Wabash oncology

staff nominated Dugan for his concept of what a rural cancer program could be. In 1983, the doctor co-founded Indiana Community Cancer Care and assist hospitals from across the nation develop protocols, train oncology nurses to administer chemotherapy. “Wabash is a really, really, really special place for me,” Dugan said. “Our first state program was in Wabash in 1983 and, from there, we grew to 30 other rural hospitals over the years and this was the one that started it all. “Wabash became the smallest hospital in the United States that got American College of Surgeons Cancer Program accreditation, which is one of the ways we measure quality of the program.” While Dugan was the sole recipient of the Healthcare Hero award, he did not take credit for the efforts once during his

acceptance speech. In an interview following the ceremony, he told The Paper that he wanted to share it with the entire “team” of healthcare providers. “The whole team is why (this was all possible),” Dugan said. “Our nurses, our pharmacists, all of the team members that take care of the patients, the social workers, dietitians, all of them are important to have made this happen.” In 2014, Wabash County Hospital officials voted to affiliate with Parkview Health on Jan. 1, 2015, and it is “extraordinarily important,” according to Dugan. “Last year, your city received the Stellar (Communities D e s i g n a t i o n Program) Award in 2014,” he continued. “I think that the relationship with Parkview Hospital certainly is a stellar affiliation and I think our oncology clinic is

URBANA LIONS CLUB met Nov. 9 with President John Eltzroth presiding. A report was given on donations received towards the Urbana Community Building renovation project that was completed in September. Thanks to all who have contributed. Receipts will be mailed in the near future to those who have donated. A preliminary report was given on the Lions contribution to the Northfield Art Department for new lights in memory of Vanessa Baer from the proceeds of the 2014 Urbana Lions

Golf Scramble. It has taken a while for the project to be completed but both the students and teachers are so appreciative of the change the lights have made for all who use the art room. Progress is being made on changes at the ball field. The second dugout has had one coat of paint and new benches are ready to be installed as soon as the dugout is moved. The Little Free Library is being used as several books have been taken and new ones left. A motion was made to give donations to the Indiana Leader Dog program and to Kortnee Singer, a Speech-Language Therapist at IU Health in Goshen, who is going to Manta, Ecuador, with Restoring Lost Generations. This is a group of professionals who will be leading a four-day seminar for local parents and professionals in the special needs

Nancy Anderson gave the lesson from Matthew 13: 23-43 on the parable of the tares (weeds) in the wheat field. She gave each one present the book “Know Your Bible.” After the lesson, Hilda Wilcox gave each member a blank WORD SEARCH sheet and gave instructions on how to make your own “word search”. While working on their word search, members enjoyed a pumpkin dessert and drinks served by cohostess Hilda Wilcox. Mrs. Wilcox plans to make the word search sheets into a booklet for each one to use.

The quilters, a group of eight women dedicated to handcrafting each quilt presented, gave Korean War veterans the blankets with hugs, handshakes and many thank you’s to show their appreciation for the veterans’ services. The group also honored veterans who served in World War II, the Vietnam War and Iraq and presented the servicemen with mugs and handcrafted coasters as tokens of the group’s appreciation. “(The quilts) are a

at Owens Corning Thermafiber for helping to change the story for so many people in our area,” said Steve Johnson, executive director of the Wabash County United Fund. “Owens Corning Thermafiber is one of our local companies that really steps up during campaign and sets the bar for other companies and businesses in its continued generosity and support.” United Fund kicked off this year’s campaign in September, setting a fundraising goal of $250,000.

Local high school hosts college, career fair for all county students $ !

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash High School hosted approximately 50 college and career vendors at its second annual College and Career Fair on Wednesday, Nov. 11. In conjunction with the Community Foundation of Wabash County, the school opened its doors to MSD of Wabash County Schools, White’s Residential and Family Services, and Manchester Community School students to share in the opportunity to learn more about higher education and career opportunities. The fair fits into WHS’s college and career culture-building that the school is trying to accomplish, according to superintendent Jason Callahan. “Whether it’s early college high

school or Wabash County Promise, we’re trying to inculcate that college-going culture,” he said, “and what I like about what we’ve done is it’s not about just about the fouryear degree pathways. It’s also about the carpenter’s union, steamfitter, pipefitter union. “So it’s multiple different pathways for our kids. We just want to be very intentional about pathways for kids and provide them as many opportunities to see what those pathways look like before they leave us.” Inviting all county students to attend the event exhibits several things, according to Kyle Wieland, WHS principal. “We have a lot of students who go back and forth between the different communities and we’re trying to help all students, not just the ones right now living in Wabash

City,” Wieland said. “So we’re really looking out for the well-being of all of our students, but on top of that, part of making this a successful event is we want to make sure we maximize the students that we reach because that increases the number of institutions that want to come here.” Callahan agreed with Wieland. “The better Wabash County is as a whole, we will be perceived in the state as a whole and the better we are as a state, the better we’ll be received in the nation,” he said. “So, I think there’s a regional perspective where we can’t just close our doors and be siloed and just think about ourselves. “We have to think about the county as a whole.” Vendors included colleges Taylor University and Indiana University Kokomo as well as out of state

schools such as Ohio Technical College. The Wabash Fire Department and Steel Metal Workers Apprenticeship Program were also present to demonstrate their individual field practices and inform students about hands-on careers. “At the very least, (this event) starts conversations that our students are having and so if they have an interest in carpentry, how do you expand upon that? Well now they have a resource, they have someone they can talk to,” Callahan said. “They can see that pathway laid out in front of them. Same thing with the military, same thing with a four-year degree pathway. “So today’s about opening doors to opportunities for successful career pathways.”

32 Thursday is the Great American Smokeout By The Paper staff

Thursday, Nov. 19 is the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout, which encourages smokers across the country to quit smoking in order to lead a healthier life. Now more than ever, focus should be placed on helping women quit smoking, said Dan Gray, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition executive director. In the last 50 years, a woman’s risk of dying from smoking has more than tripled and is now equal to men’s risk, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Indiana, the smoking rate for women is 21.5 percent, which is higher than the national average of 17.2 percent. Cigarette smoke can affect almost every area of the body and is associated with many chronic diseases. Women who smoke are at increased risk for heart attack, stroke, emphysema and other chronic illnesses. Today, more women die from lung cancer than breast cancer, and the risk of lung cancer among female smokers is 10 times higher than in 1959. Quitting can be the most difficult thing a former smoker does in his/her lifetime, but the benefits of quitting far outweigh the many risks of smoking. Lung cancer is not a single disease; rather, it is a group of cancers that originate in the lungs and associated tissues. Lung cancers are typically divided into two major types: small-cell lung cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer. Lung cancer accounts for more deaths than any other cancer in both men and women. In Indiana, during 2013, 2,444 women were diagnosed with lung cancer, and 1,724 died as a result of the disease. There are some signs and symptoms of lung cancer; however, often they do not occur until the cancer is advanced. Signs and symptoms include persistent cough, sputum streaked with blood, chest pain, voice changes and recurrent pneumonia or bronchitis. According to the American Cancer Society, advancements in early detection screen(continued on page 33)

ings have been shown to reduce lung cancer deaths by 16-20 percent. The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography in adults aged 55 to 80 years who have a 30pack per year smoking history and currently smoke, or have quit within the past 15 years. Smoking accounts for 87 percent of lung cancer deaths and at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths. If all tobacco smoking were stopped, the occurrence of lung cancer would decrease by an estimated 90 percent. However, in Indiana, 21.9 percent of adults continue to smoke tobacco, placing them at greater risk for developing lung and other types of cancer. According to the

Surgeon General’s Report, “The Health Consequences of Smoking — 50 Years of Progress,” rates for lung cancer deaths are 13 times higher for adults who currently smoke when compared to adults who have never smoked. Behaviors can have a direct impact on preventing lung cancer. Individuals can: Be smoke free. Quitting tobacco smoking substantially decreases the risk of developing cancer and other chronic diseases. Smokers who quit smoking, regardless of age, live

Thursday is the Great American Smokeout

General has concluded that smoke-free workplace policies are the only effective way to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke in all workplaces and lead to less smoking among workers. Support health care

provider outreach efforts that help decrease tobacco consumption and increase quit attempts. Residents can support female smokers to quit by encouraging participation in the Great American Smokeout on

Nov. 19 and calling the Indiana Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Anyone seeking information about the Great American Smokeout can contact Gray at 260-274-2920, or via email at tobaccofreewabash@hotmail.com.

Anniversary, the DAR Museum created a special exhibit to honor the origins of its collection, which now contains approximately 30,000 objects. Please plan to visit “Remembering the American Revolution: 1776-1890,” which explores how citizens of the new United States maintained a connection to the Revolution through objects they saved and created. The exhibit will run through Sept. 3, 2016. Barbara Amiss gave the National Defender report dedicated to Robert L. Howard (19392009), one of America’s most decorated soldiers. He served five tours in Vietnam and is the only soldier in our nation’s history to be nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor three times for three separate actions within a 13 month period. He was wounded 14 times in 54 months of combat duty, awarded 8 Purple Hearts. It is important for future generations that we remember our military heroes and the great sacrifices they have made for us in the name of Freedom. Current volunteer hours in Celebrate America for the chapter were 2,355. We are continuing to save box tops, Campbell’s Labels for Education, and plastic bottle caps for worthy projects for the Veterans. The mem-

bers agreed to continue to do volunteer work at the Wabash County Historical Museum on November 18th and

19th. Kie Ann Kirk, local member, gave the program on the “Adventures of Cornelius ‘Neil’ W a s h b u r n . ” Washburn, third son of Jeremiah Washburn and Rebecca Devore, was born in 1774 in Redstone, Pa. He was a descendent from an English family that came over right after the Mayflower, married into the Mayflower family of Francis Cook. His family fought many battles in England and was knighted in a battle during the Crusades, and also a Viking d e s c e n d e n t . Washburn’s had two castles in England and are related to the Piatt Castles in West Liberty, Ohio. Cornelius’ family first settled in Mason County, Kentucky, in Maysville, Kentucky on the Ohio River. Cornelius’ brother George had a ferry boat out of Georgetown, Ohio. Jeremiah, Neil’s father, was a religious man, becoming a Baptist preacher, where he baptized the family in the Ohio River, while the Indians watched from the other side wondering what they were doing. Even as a child Neil loved the outdoors

and helped his father hunt and trap by age eight. When Neil received his first gun, he became proficient in shooting. Being so well know and trained the town sent him off to Gallipolis at age 16 to warn travelers that the Ohio River was full of Indians and danger. He was a little unlucky at love first marrying Jamina Masterson and had four children, two who died young, and then his wife died. Then several years later he married a younger lady and had three children by her. Neil while he loved his family he couldn’t settle down, always on the move, while he had a good farm, he would rather hunt and trap then plow. When Neil was trapping and hunting on the Des Moines River, he received word that his wife had left him and their children and moved to Cincinnati, where she died. He wrote his sonin-law from the first family to sell his farm and take care of the children. The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be Tuesday, Jan. 12, at 7 p.m. at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash. The speaker will be Lynnanne Fager, DNR, on the “Indiana Bald Eagle.” Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend.
