MSD board views building update videos

By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com

Virtual tour videos of updates made to both Northfield and Southwood High Schools were shown for the first time at the Metropolitan

School District of Wabash County board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 11.

The original plan was to bring people into the buildings to do live tours, but the COVID-19 pandemic stopped that from happening.

“We really wanted to have open houses and tours after the big project was done at both the Northfield and Southwood, but COVID-19 kind of changed that,” MSD Superintendent Mike Keaffaber said. “This is going to be nice

because everyone can take the tour and they don’t have to have it scheduled to come because we are not going to do it in the schools, but we will do a virtual tour.”

Keaffaber spoke on the hard work that

MSD Director of Communications Laura Langebartels put into these virtual tours.

“I want to thank Laura for putting this together, because this is something she enjoys but also does a great job at,” he said.

The videos were then shown, one for each school. The video showcased areas in which updates were made including the entryways, main offices, classrooms, libraries, auditoriums, choir and band rooms, cafeterias, athletic hallways, concession stands, exterior athletic buildings, Southwood Waste Water Treatment Plant, outdoor track.

The video that showcased both schools together was made available to the public the next day on the MSD of Wabash County Facebook page.

Also recognized by Keaffaber was the new full time School Resource Officer (SRO) at the North schools, Eric Kirtlan, who was a former Northfield grad.

Also, on Tuesday, the board approved the resignations of the following: Katrina Teske as a cook at Southwood High

“We really wanted to have open houses and tours after the big project was done at both the Northfield and Southwood, but COVID-19 kind of changed that.”

— MSD Superintendent Mike Keaffaber School, Mark Eastway as a classroom instructor at White’s High School, Christian Daugherty as a Special Education paraprofessional at Southwood Elementary, Brenda Sprayue as a paraprofessional at Southwood Elementary, Clair Booth as a custodian at Metro North Elementary, and Debra Elliot as a paraprofessional at Sharp Creek Elementary.

Approved the employment of the following: Alyssa Span as a temporary fifth grade teacher at Sharp Creek Elementary, Matthew Brown as a sixth Grad Teacher at Sharp Creek

Elementary, Taylor Castle as an art teacher at Southwood Elementary, Kristin Hodge as speech and language pathologist at Wabash Miami Area Program, Julie Gogolewski as a cook at Northfield High School, Ashley Corn as a cook at Southwood High School, and Hallie Zolman as cheer coach for Northfield High School.

White’s breaks ground for Compass Rose Academy

By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com On Wednesday, Aug. 12, officials from White’s Residential and Family Services, and others involved in the project joined together for a groundbreaking ceremony at the construction site of the new campus for the White’s program, Compass Rose Academy. The planning and construction of this project is being led by DesignBuilder, Michael Kinder & Sons (MKS).

White’s added to their services in 2012 with a parent choice therapeutic residential program for families in crisis.

Compass Rose Academy was created out of a need for those services.

Compass Rose Academy is now a division of White’s for teen girls specifically. With the rising demand of the services offered by Compass Rose, White’s has chosen to “expand their footprint” for Compass Rose Academy by adding an autonomous campus for its residents.

“The new campus for Compass Rose Academy will enhance our ability

to carry out our mission to offer hope and transformation through Christ to teenage girls and their families,” said Ron Evans, President and CEO of White’s.

“The collaboration with MKS has been a critical partnership to build this campus in a cost-effective manner while creating a state-of-the-art facility designed to facilitate healing and growth. There is not another facility in the Midwest that will be its equal and every aspect is designed with safety, healing, and growth as the primary drivers. We are thankful to have like-minded partners like MKS in creating this campus.”

The campus, consisting of homes for residents, staff housing building, and a multi-purpose building will cost approximately $8 million.

The board has selfinvested $4 million dollars while “A Place to Grow” campaign was put into action to help raise the remaining half of the funds needed to complete the Compass Rose Academy cam-

pus.

The new campus, projected to be complete by summer of 2020, will sit on the south end of the land owned by White’s but will have its own entrance and signage.

During the groundbreaking ceremony, guests heard a letter from Sen. Mike Braun, read by representative Mary Martin.

“The issues faced by teens and young people throughout state are of utmost importance during these critical times.

Hoosiers are experiencing the tragic consequences of these issues regardless of background, class, or geography,” she read.

“I know the challenges of overcoming these issues and it can be a mess. This

difficult work requires a steadfast commitment. I applaud each of you for your tireless efforts that help improve the lives of Hoosiers every day. I am confident that this facility will contribute greatly to accomplishing that goal. Please accept my deepest gratitude for your support of this event, I extend my sincere best wishes. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact my office, and thank you for allowing me to serve in the U.S. Senate.”

Following Martin was State Sen. Andy Zay. “Your efforts, your compassion, and all your teams work here does not go unnoticed

SWCD plans women’s meeting Women who own or manage farmland in Wabash and Miami Counties are invited to a free conservation discussion and field tour on Thursday, Sept. 17, at Upper Wabash Interpretive Center, 3691 New Holland Rd, Andrews “We estimate that women now own or co-own between onefourth and one-half of the farmland in the Midwest and they are very interested in farming practices that benefit the health of their land,” said Susi Stephan, Program Technician for the Wabash County Farm Service

Agency. “Our goal is to connect these women with each other and with the resource professionals who can help them with their farmland management goals.”

Wo m e n 4 t h e L a n d meetings bring together landowners in an informal learning format for a women-only morning discussion followed by a more in-depth look at the characteristics of healthy soil and farming practices that promote it on a tour after lunch. This year the topic will be “Enhance Your Land

by Keeping it Native.”

Female conservation

professionals will be on hand to answer questions and share resources throughout the day.

Coffee and registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the meeting will begin at 9. Lunch is provided, followed by an afternoon invasive plant identification and management tour. The program will end with refreshments at 3 p.m.

Spots are limited, RSVP by Sept. 8 to Wabash County SWCD 260-563-7486, extension 3 or Miami County SWCD 765-4736753 extension 3.

“We continually hear from women

how grateful they are for a women-only learning environment,” commented Tashina LahrManifold, Executive Director for Wabash Co. SWCD, Steps are being taken to ensure the health & safety of guests and employees.

If you are symptomatic including a fever, cough or difficulty breathing call your healthcare provider for medical advice. Most people with COVID-19 develop mild symptoms and can recover at home. Staying home and away from others is the best way to

reduce the spread of the virus. If you can not stay home, social distancing and wearing a face mask is at this time the best way to limit the exposure of COVID-19.

Twice a year, the Richvalley Lions host a breaded tenderloin fry at the Community Building in Richvalley . They use the proceeds from these fry’s to fund many worthy causes nationally, within the state and in both Miami and Wabash Counties.

These two students had helped

Officials from The Wabash County Historical Museum have announced the newest addition to give residents of Wabash County and those visiting the county an opportunity to have fun and explore local history from their very own phone.

Using the PocketSights app, the Museum has built three tours users can take, complete with a map, photographs, and interesting facts about each sight. The three tours take viewers to Downtown Wabash, North Wabash, and West Wabash to different historical buildings and houses. Viewers will be informed about the architecture and the people and businesses that used to occupy each building. Each of these tours is a mile or two in length and would be a great way to spend a nice, sunny day walking through the city.

The current three tours were inspired by the previous printed walking guides published by Wabash Marketplace. Since those guides are no longer in circulation, the Museum looked for a way to recreate these historic tours in a more sustainable way. Using a digital platform allows the tours to be accessible at any time of day and also allows content to be easily updated and changed.

The

Museum worked with local photographer, Greg Coon, to provide current day photographs for each site.

“The timing of this project was perfect as people are looking for ways to explore their local communities and not travel,” said Mitch Figert, President and CEO of the Wabash County Museum.

“These tours have been so well received that we

are actively working to add new walking and driving tours that will allow users to traverse sites throughout the entire county.”

Startup funding and the initial three tours have been made possible through a Historic Preservation Education Grant from Indiana Landmarks, Indiana Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Council gets preliminary look at city budget

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash City Council heard from the city’s department heads Wednesday to review the 2021 budget.

This year’s budget was a bit tricky to determine, as exactly how much funding the city will receive from such things as the Local Option Income Tax and the state’s Gast Tax isn’t known. That’s due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the state’s economy.

“When the state comes out and says they’re looking at a $3 to $4 billion shortfall, obviously that trickles down to the local level,” Mayor Scott Long told the Council. “That’s what had Wendy (Frazier, Clerk-Treasurer) and I concerned about revenue streams.

“But we’ve put ourselves in a position with the previous administration and my first four years that we’ve got reserves so we’ll survive.

There’s a lot of cities and towns out there that can’t say that.

“There’s been a lot of

“When the state comes out and says they’re looking at a $3 to $4 billion shortfall, obviously that trickles down to the local level. That’s what had Wendy (Frazier, Clerk-Treasurer) and I concerned about revenue streams.”

— Mayor Scott Long diligent people in the last 16 years thinking about things.”

Because of the uncertainty of COVID’s impact on finances, department heads were asked to scale back on expenditures next year.

In addition, with few exceptions, only a handful of city employees will not receive an automatic pay increase at the first of the year.

Raises were proposed for a handful of city workers.

Park Superintendent Adam Hall would receive an increase, solely to bring his salary in line with the other department heads. In addition, the Building Department secretary and City Hall

receptionist will receive an increases, in an attempt to bring salaries more in line similar positions within the city.

An increase in longevity pay for police and fire department personnel also was preliminarily approved by the council.

That increase was onetenth of 1 percent.

“Right now, the officers are paid three-quarters of a percent of longevity pay for every year of service, and you max out at 20 years,” Long told the Council. “You may stay for 41 years, but your longevity maxes out at 20 years.

“One of the issues that, I think, both departments are running through, and it’s no fault of their own,

no fault of the city … the media and the climate at this time has a lot to do with it. We used to get 30 and 40 people apply for positions in these departments.”

The fire department’s last group of applicants totaled 15, while the police department had 12, the mayor and Fire Chief Barry Stroup noted.

“By the time you weed through all the testing and everything, you may have five candidates to choose from,” Long continued.

The fire department has now current openings, while the police department has one.

“But that can change at any moment,” Stroup

said. “In the past few years, it did change at any moment.”

The city used to have one of the better paying departments in the area, Long said, adding “that’s not the case anymore.”

“We’re holding our own, but people are out pacing us,” he said. “In order to retain talent, we have to do something to make that happen without giving a 20 percent raise or a 14 percent raise.

“We’re looking at an uncertain revenue stream. If we can reward these guys who have been out here on the front lines the last six months during this COVID mess, day in and day out, and retain

them in our department so we’re not training them and losing them to the state police or another city that’s going to begin an ambulance service …”

The longevity pay increases will come through the city’s Public Safety Local Income Tax. It averages out to roughly $14,500 for each department.

Long said that while the majority of employees didn’t receive raises, he and Clerk-Treasurer Wendy Frazier hope that funds received from the state next year will make possible an increase for the workers. If that happens, the City Council would have to approve a special appropriation.

In all, the proposed budget totals $20.707 million.

While the council reviewed the budgets on Wednesday, it still must give first and second approvals to the measure.

Council will consider the budget on first reading Monday, Aug. 24, and on second reading Monday, Sept. 14. It then must be reviewed by the state.

Happy’s happy Hairball is back touring

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com After months of being sidelined because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Happy, guitarist for the band Hairball, is, well, happy.

“We’re just excited to be playing again, you know, in this crazy world,” he told The Paper of Wabash County during a telephone interview from the band’s tour bus.

“As a group, it certainly cut down how much we were playing. Of course, most of us were home for four or five months.

“I think the last time we really played was in March, we were in Daytona, Florida.”

The band, which bills itself as a rock and roll experience, will be performing Thursday, Aug. 27, at the 13-24 Drive-In in Wabash. Gates open at 6 p.m. with the show beginning at 8 p.m.

Vehicles of up to six people will be permitted through the gates. Prices are $75, $129 and $199, depending on where the vehicle will be parked.

Hairball members, like many others, will be taking precautions during the performance.

“We’re following the laws and the protocols and everything,” Happy said.

“We’re trying to be

careful in our own camp with what we’re doing because we all work so closely together. If one person were to get sick, it certainly could put us all out of work. I don’t want to see anyone in my camp get sick or have to deal with it anyway.”

Hairball only resumed touring within the last few weeks. The interview took place as the band was en route from Sturgis, S.D., to Altoona, Iowa, for another show.

“We’re playing pretty steady until at least the end of September,” he said.

“They’re all outdoor shows. We’re able to kind of contain our environment a little more, so we’re not really doing meet and greets and some of the things where we’re in contact with the audience that we normally would be.”

Now in its 20th year, Hairball, as Happy says, the performance “is a big show, that’s what it is.”

“It’s a slice of the history of cool rock and roll and the iconic lead singers and persona that kind of make up what we do.”

The bang plays homage to the biggest performers from the arena rock era of music, including Van Halen, KISS, Motley Crue, Queen, Journey and Aerosmith, to name a few.

“The cool thing

about Hairball is if you don’t like Guns ‘n’ Roses, it will turn into Queen in two minutes,” he said. “If you don’t like that, it will turn into Journey, then it will turn into Van Halen, then AC/DC and so on and so forth.”

Happy has been with Hairball for 18 of its 20 years.

“It’s different now than when it started,” he said. “It started as a comedy show in bars that were almost adult humor or just plain dumb downed.

We’d be changing words to songs and more making fun of the personas. It just sort of evolved and we were doing more of the recreations of all of the showmanship that these fans made famous.”

He doesn’t think of Hairball as an ‘80s band.

“We’re doing Alice Cooper and Aerosmith and KISS stuff that’s maybe ‘70s,” Happy said. “It

just so that a lot of the persona and the identity and costuming of the artists were just so strong.

It’s literally something you can dress up for Halloween and go out.

“There is a Twisted Sister costume and a KISS costume. The looks are just so identifiable and the music has such staying power that it’s become part of our culture to crank this music up to get ready for football games.

It’s in television commercials.

“I don’t necessarily think we’re limited to just that decade. No one dresses up like Tesla or Night Ranger for Halloween.”

“Coach Wright and my Dad (assistant coach Matt Daughtry) have prepared me extremely well,” he said. “The hard work mentality that brought to practice every day, the underdog mentality that we

had to bring, the family atmosphere mentality that we had is really what I’m going to take.

“Just working hard every day, bringing my best self and being a better man than I am a basket-

ball player.”

Wright said Daughtry has been working hard at his basketball career since he was in fifth and sixth grade.

“What he brought to this program, him and a lot of other

guys … allowed us to take that next step forward,” the coach said. “He’s been a part of this program.

I think people will probably remember him for a while.”

...continued from Page 10 reiterates the primary focus is to remain open and give our Squire Athletes the best opportunity to compete safely during the 2020-2021 seasons. In doing so, there will be some changes to the MCS Athletic Event protocols. Following the latest IHSAA Guidance released in early August, MCS has laid out a plan for Fall Sports that can manage the policies in place from the Governor’s office, the Indiana Department of Education, the Indiana High School Athletic Association, and the Wabash County Health Department.

Here is the IHSAA guidance on Spectator Seating: Q6. Will spectators be allowed to attend sporting events?

A. Yes, but it will be at the discretion of the host school with guidance from local health officials and in accordance with the governor’s stage 4.5.

If allowing spectators in a bleacher setting: a) Family units may sit together but using 6 feet of social distancing between another family unit. b) On a set of bleachers, it should be no more than 50% capacity with a maximum of 250 people (even if the bleachers can fit

more with social distancing). c) If a stadium has multiple individual sets of bleachers, each separate area can be seen as a separate unit (see item 2 above). However, an important part is each segment must have separate designated entrances and separate designated restroom facilities in order not to exceed a total of 250 people.

Schools might be able to accomplish this by having staggered arrival times if multiple entrances are not available. Bottom line is that they must do something to avoid people congregating (to get in or in line

for restrooms). d) With large events, schools should work with and have approval of the local health department.

Here is a look at Manchester Community Schools new procedures: This event management plan will remain in effect until further notice.

Governor’s Mandatory Mask Update: - All Coaches and Student-Athletes are expected to wear masks, and only athletes with respiratory & heart rates higher than resting will be allowed to remove the masks.

- Fans will be asked to wear masks at all events.

Admission to Games: IHSAA Guidance (6 Feet Social Distancing, Signs will be used leading into bleachers) - No Changes to Ticket Pricing ($5 gate, Squire Punch Passes for 10 Game Bundles- $15, $20, $30) - Gate workers in PPE’s.

- Due to a limited attendance policy and personal inconvenience to many Squire fans, MCS will be developing an internet streaming option for Varsity Football & Varsity Volleyball Continued on Page 15

Manchester Officials at Manchester Community Schools have announced the following: In the past week, many school corporations across the state have started to launch their event management plans as the beginning of Fall Sports quickly approaches.

Manchester Community Schools has identified two important goals in developing our plan.

To keep studentathletes, coaches, teachers, staff, families, and community members health and safety as the number one priority during these times.

To keep Squire Athletics moving forward by following sound medical and scientific advice. We feel there are precautions that must occur to allow our young people a tremendous opportunity to represent our community.

Summer Salmon

By Laura Kurella

I must admit that while I do like salmon, I’m persnickety about the variety and how it comes packaged because there have been many occasions in the past where salmon did not just underwhelm me, but also downright disappointed me.

With there being a great expanse of salmon markets to choose from, including farm-raised, which often come from Chili, finding a salmon that consistently hits the mark in flavor, freshness and aroma has become a fishing expedition, indeed!

With hindsight being 20/20, I have learned from many bad-tasting fish experiences to always be mindful of price because when it comes to salmon, price is a huge indicator of quality – unless it happens to be a manager’s special at Kroger, of course!

For an extraordinary salmon – or other fish – experience, I highly suggest seeking out an American fishery that sources wild fish and ships it fresh to your door, like Sitka Salmon Shares. A wild-caught Alaskan seafood delivery service, Sitka offers only in-season, wildcaught fish from the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska sourced from traditional fishing communities who harvest and hand-process their fish individually.

Offering a premium freshness, flavor, texture and experience, Sitka brings you fish straight from the boat to your doorstep fresh – seriously, the best!

Check them out at sitkasalmonshares.co m.

This time of year, it is also quite common to find my all-time favorite salmon right in the fish cooler at the store – sockeye!

Ruby-red flesh that offers up a super moist, juicy, and tender texture that gently exudes the lightest salmon taste there is,

Summer just wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t take time to give yourself the sweet pleasure of perfectly-planked salmon. Photo by Laura Kurella.

I have a dozen or more ways to prepare this oh-so-delightful variety of fish. However, given that we are swimming closer toward the end of summer, I say treat yourself to one of the most delightful ways to prepare salmon – on a plank!

Infusing a sweet, woodsy-smoky flavor while adding extra moisture, which makes the fish even more tender, planking a salmon is a wonderful way to wind up the end of summer.

Here now are a trio of flavors to infuse into your favorite variety of this fish.

Enjoy!

Sticky-Sweet Planked Salmon Prep time:30 minutes; Ready in: 2 hours, 15 minutes; Servings: 4.

1/4 cup reducedsodium soy sauce 1/4 cup sake, or dry white wine 1/4 cup mirin 2 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped scallions 3 tablespoons

coarsely chopped fresh ginger 4 (5 ounce) wild salmon fillets, or steaks, 3/4-1 inch thick, skin on 1 small lemon, thinly sliced Soak a grilling plank* in water for 2 to 4 hours.

Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, sake (or white wine), mirin, sugar, scallions, and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

Place salmon in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it.

Place lemon slices on top. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes but no more than 2 hours, turning the fish once or twice.

Preheat grill to medium-high. Place the soaked plank over direct heat on the grill and heat for 2 minutes. Move the plank so it’s over indirect heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, place it skinside down (if using fillets) on the hot

plank and replace the lemon slices on top.

Close the lid and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Use the plank as the serving platter, if desired. *: Make sure plank is virgin, untreated wood and at least 1/4inch thick, thicker if possible. The thicker the plank, the more expensive, but it will last longer.

Heavenly, PepperHoney Planked Salmon Prep time:15 minutes; Cook time: 30 minutes; Ready In: 1 hour, 45 minutes; Servings: 6.

2 (12 inch) untreated cedar planks 1/4 cup pineapple juice 1/3 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons white vinegar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon olive oil 3/4 cup honey 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 6 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless salmon fillets 1 pinch natural fine sea salt and pepper to taste Soak planks in warm water for 1 to 2 hours. Add a splash of bourbon to the water, if desired. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey to a simmer.

Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces to a syrupy consistency, about 15 minutes. Set aside.

Preheat outdoor grill to 400 degrees. Place planks on grate. They are ready to cook on once they start to smoke and crackle just a little. Season salmon with a light

sprinkling of salt and pepper. Place fillets onto smoking cedar planks then close the lid of the grill. Cook for 10 minutes. Spoon a small amount of sauce over salmon then continue to cook until fish turns opaque in the center, about 5 minutes more.

Serve with the remaining sauce.

Lemon, Garlic & Rosemary Planked Salmon Cedar plank(s) for grilling 1/4 cup olive oil 3/4 teaspoon natural fine sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons lemon zest, from 2 lemons 1-1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary 1-1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed Lemon wedges, for serving Fill a large bowl or

sink with water. Soak plank(s) under the water for at least 1 hour. In a baking dish large enough to hold salmon, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, and garlic.

Mix well then add the salmon, turning to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until ready to grill (you can do this up to 4 hours ahead of time).

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees. Pat the soaked plank(s) dry and place on top of grill grates, close the cover. Planks are ready to cook on once they start to smoke and crackle just a little. Place salmon on planks and close lid.

Cook for 10-15 minutes or until they are done to your liking.

Douse or mist plank(s) with a bit of water if they catch fire. Serve salmon on a platter, right off the plank(s) with lemon wedges.

It’s time to be watching for bagworms

By Leesa Metzger Have you noticed an evergreen tree or shrub starting to die and turn brown? This is the time of year when we should be scouting for bagworms. Bagworm s disfigure evergreen trees and shrubs by feeding on leaves and needles and girdling twigs. As worm-like larvae they spin silken bags around themselves, to which they attach pieces of the leaves they are eating. They carry this bag with them as they feed, it acts as a protective armor. A fully developed bag is about two inches long. These tough, spindle-shaped bags hang from the branches of infested trees like holiday ornaments, so they are easy to spot.

Bagworms are the larvae of moths. Fullgrown, these worms measure 1 to 1 1/4 inches. Their bodies are brown with that portion inside the bag lighter than the rest. Adult male moths have black wings, but the females are wingless.

The females lay their

LEESA METZGER eggs in fall, and the eggs hatch the following May or June. As the young worms begin to feed, they start doing their damage to tree and shrub foliage. They will continue eating for several months, maybe as late as August in our area. Proper insecticide use will effectively control their damage in late spring. Bagworm caterpillars make distinctive 1.5 to 2 inch long spindle-shaped bags that can be seen hanging from twigs of a variety of trees and shrubs. Sometimes the bags are mistaken for pinecones or other plant structures.

Bagworms prefer juniper, arborvitae, spruce, pine, and cedar but also attack

deciduous trees in large infestations.

Female moths cannot fly but the larvae can disperse. Very small caterpillars can spin strands of silk and be carried by wind, an activity called “ballooning”. Larger larvae may crawl to adjacent plants.

Bagworms pass the winter as eggs (300 or more) inside bags that served as cocoons for last year’s females. The eggs hatch in mid- to late May to early June in Indiana and the tiny larvae crawl out to feed. Each uses silk and bits of plant material to make a small bag that protects and camouflages it as during feeding and growth. This is the window of opportunity for pesticide use if you had a large bag worm problem the prior year.

Bagworm caterpillars feed for about six weeks, enlarging the bag as they grow and withdrawing into it when disturbed.

When abundant, the caterpillars can defoliate plants. Heavy infestations over several consecutive years, especially when coupled with other stresses, can

lead to plant death.

Bagworm control depends upon how many bagworms are present.

If only a few small trees or shrubs are infested, handpicking and destroying attached bags may provide satisfactory control. This must be done effective during fall, winter or early spring before the eggs hatch. Destroy the picked-off bags by burning them, as they will overwinter on the ground and hatch in the spring.

How to prepare kids to go back to school The end of summer can be a bittersweet time for students. While many students look forward to seeing their friends, few want to say goodbye to the relaxing days of summer.

Parents know that getting their children back in the school day swing of things can be a challenge. The following are some ways to make that transition go smoothly.

• Introduce more structure as summer vacation winds down. The chance to unwind in a structure-free setting can benefit students at the onset of summer vacation. Many parents grapple with the notion that their children’s lives are overscheduled, and the Cleveland Clinic notes that limiting organized activities clears up down time for kids to play and relax and spend time with their families.

So it’s important that parents afford their children this down time during summer vacation, only gradually introducing more structure as the school

year draws closer. In the weeks before the school year is slated to begin, start waking kids up a little earlier and reintroducing bedtimes for younger children who may have been staying up later over the last couple of months. This can be an effective way to begin slowly preparing youngsters for the structure of the school year.

• Encourage children to read throughout the summer. A report from the education publishing company Scholastic found that 47 percent of parents are unaware of the “summer slide,” which refers to the loss of academic skills that occurs when school is not in session. Scholastic notes that the slide is largely attributed to a lack of reading when school is not in session. By encouraging kids to read during their summer vacations, parents can make sure youngsters’ brains stay sharp and are ready to learn once the school year begins.

• Focus on the pos-

itive. Even kids who love school may be apprehensive about returning to the classroom. After all, summer vacation is fun. Parents can confront that apprehension by focusing on the positives of returning to school.

Emphasize the chance to see friends every day or participate in a beloved extracurricular activity, like sports, band or a favorite academic club.

• Let kids do some of their own back-toschool shopping. The items that constitute back to school supplies may have changed since parents were in school.

But many parents still take their children on back-toschool clothes shopping excursions. Let kids choose their own clothes, as an opportunity to wear clothes they picked themselves might make them excited for the new school year.

Parents can take various steps to make the transition back to school a successful one for their young students.

Parents know that getting their children back in the school day swing of things can be a challenge.

The following are some ways to make that transition go smoothly.

Did you know?

Large school buses are not equipped with seat belts, but that doesn’t compromise their ability to transport students safely to and from school. The National Highway Traffic S a f e t y Administration says that school buses are designed differ-

ently than passenger cars and light trucks. As a result of their unique design, as well as their size and weight, school buses distribute crash forces differently from other vehicles, utilizing a different kind of safety restraint system that is effective at keeping passen-

gers safe. This system is known as “compartmentalization.” The NHTSA says the interiors of large buses protect children without seat belts because of closely spaced seats that have energyabsorbing seat backs. This compartmentalization will keep children

THE PAPER

August 19, 2020

Larry Eads lived his whole life in Urbana. He graduated from Urbana High School and married his high school sweet heart and the love of his life in 1958. His wife’s name was Doris Jean Gardner who passed away in 2014.

Larry was one of the guys that would go to estate and rummage sales all over and out of the Wabash County just to see what treasures he could bring home.

Over the years he enjoyed this hobby of collecting and acquired a multitude of items such as tools, nuts, bolts, screws, electrical components, plumbing, lumber, doors, windows, kitchen items and trinkets of all kinds along with much, much more.

Larry was a fellow that would go out of his way to help anyone with a problem whether the problem be plumbing, electrical, lumber or just some trinket to put out for everyone to see or use. He seemed to have it all and was willing to help you find it amongst all of his

treasures. If he didn’t have it he would do his best to locate the item for you.

For example, Larry told me about a guy that needed a bolt with left hand thread and was metric. The guy tried to find one at several hardware stores around the area, but to no avail.

He stopped by what the Urbana Lions call East Urbana Hardware just see if Larry had anything like it. Guess what happened. Larry had just what the fellow needed. Larry has always helped his community and supported the Urbana Lions with whatever they needed for any project.

I approached Larry back in 1997 to see if

he could help with a project the Urbana Lions were getting ready to build, the now up and running Urbana Ball Field Snack Shack. Larry was able to donate all the lumber, wiring, screws, nails, power panel, switches and outlets for the building saving hundreds for the Lions.

I approached Larry a couple of weeks ago to see if he had a small sink that I could install in the Snack Shack. He didn’t have one on hand but he stated that he would keep his eyes open for one. About a week later he called and said I think I have what you are looking for. I ran out to East Urbana Hardware and sure enough he had found a small stainless steel sink. He had added all the plumbing fixtures I would need to help with the install.

I was surprised he found one that quick.

I asked how much did I owe him and he said with a smile, with what you, Bonita and the Lions do for the community, you don’t owe me anything.

This was the type

of fellow Larry was.

Always had a big smile and a good story or joke to tell.

Larry died Friday evening on Aug. 7, 2020. Larry and his smile, laugh and his sense of humor and East Urbana Hardware will be missed. Condolences from the Urbana Lions and the Urbana Community go out to the Eads family and friends.

Prayer Concerns: Eldon Biehl had back surgery on Aug. 5 and is still healing from his cracked pelvis.

The Breakfast Bunch met at Bob Evans on Aug. 12, 2020. Those attending were: Tom and Joyce Willcox, Larry and Nancy Meyer, Peggy Dilling , Pat McNabney, Alma DeVore and Helen Dawes. This bunch celebrated Nancy Meyer’s birthday but they failed to say how old (jokingly) she is.

This bunch welcomes everyone and anyone who would like to join them for breakfast and to talk about different topics while together every Wednesday at 7:30am at Bob Evans. Come on down and check them out; I think you will enjoy this group of Urbana residents enjoying a meal and each others company.

Don & Pat McNabney were married on August 2, 1964. They were married in Urbana Grace Church with the win-

dows wide open because the temp on August 2, 1964 was 98 and almost 100 degrees in the building. There was no airconditioning at this time in the building.

The Fort Wayne weather forecast stated that it was a record high on this date and still is to this day. Pat, for 56 years keeps checking to see if the 98 degree record still stands and it does. Pat and Don were married for 52 years.

Urbana Lions Community Ballpark is available to everyone and anyone this year. This park is full of items for any activity. Nice huge pulling pad, well maintained ball field for little league baseball, girls softball, slow pitch, fast pitch softball, baseball tournaments, basketball court, play ground equipment, pavilion for picnics or reunions with charcoal grill, handicap accessible restrooms with running water and a Lions Snack Shack at your request. On the west end of the Snack Shack is a free

library of adult and children books.

Check it out. It may have a book that will interest you. Call 7743665 for information.

Urbana Streetlights: To report a problem with a streetlight call (260) 774-3665. If no answer, leave a message. Tell me the light’s address and what is wrong. I will then submit a work order to have that light repaired. Please allow 5 working days for repairs. The streetlight committee is planning on holding a tenderloin fry, carry out only on September 26, 2020 3pm – 6:30pm. This is to help offset the cost of the streetlight bill that I face every year.

I will be sending out postcards to collect $15.00 from each household in Urbana.

Watch for the post cards in August and in September. Thanks for your help.

The Roann Lions Club met in the social room of the Paw Paw Township-Roann Library basement for the Aug. 6 meeting.

President Rick Morris called the meeting to order.

The minutes to the July meeting were read by Donna Harman. The treasurer’s report was given

by Keith Ford. Both were approved as read.

In old business, it was reported that the landscape project at the Roann Covered Bridge is scheduled to happen on Aug. 8.

Morris had made many contacts in order to get this project rolling. Thank you to several local people who have volunteered their time, equipment, and the use of their trucks to haul dirt, to do whatever is necessary to prepare the hillside at the bridge for easier mowing. We are

thankful for the small-town hospitality where many helping hands working together helps our community to become a better place. The landscaped area will then be seeded with grass seed.

The Lions Club members were given a tour of the library and the Indiana Room in the basement. The basement stores a lot of history of Roann, as well as memorabilia and pictures from the Roann School. Joy Harber,

librarian, told the members many interesting facts throughout the building. The library had an addition added on a few years ago and the basement now has a small kitchen and handicapped accessible restroom as well as a meeting room.

This basement area is available to rent for small gatherings or meetings. Joy shared that Roann did not have a library until after 1912 when Martha Van Buskirk applied for a grant.

The first library was in the original Roann School for four years. The Metro School Board voted several years ago for the library to be the place to keep all the memorabilia of school pictures, trophies, and more.

These are all in the Indiana Room in the basement. This room also has many other historical items. A

typewriter from the bank in Roann, a clock and a Bible donated by members of the Abshire family.

Their family lived in the log cabin which is now in Roann. Joy gets donations from relatives of families when family members pass away, wanting the history of Roann to continue.

She said that the Roann Library is in the bottom five in the state for the budget.

Roann is very fortunate to have someone like Joy that cares so much for our little hometown library. A couple years ago, she found a sack with some blue cloth stars in it which had embroidered names on the stars. After doing some research, she discovered that it was men from Roann and the surrounding area who had served in World War I. Joy obviously worked man hours to make

this a very unique framed display in the library entrance.

Thank you, Joy, for the great job you do to/for the Roann Library.

In other business Harman gave an update on the Roann Covered Bridge Festival. The festival is downsized this year due to the restrictions the governor has suggested, but we can still have a fun-safe festival.

Refreshments were provided by the library. The next Roann Lions Club meeting will be October 1.

DONNA HARMAN, Festival Chairperson, wanted to let people know that masks will be optional at the festival. It is your choice if you wear one or not.

IF ANYONE HAS not received their calendar yet, The Roann

Lions Club asks that you call 765-833-5663 to let Donna know and she will see that you get it.

PASTOR WAYNE BALMER of the Roann United Methodist sermon for August 23rd will be taken from Matthew 9:35-38 titled “Workers Are Few”.

Monday morning prayers group at 9am.

Social distancing will be exercised, along with disinfecting after all activities at the church.

PRAYERS FOR: Coy Eads (1-year-old with tumor), Edith Phillips, Paxton Wright, Henry Becker, Sharon Hagan, Rex Renz, Patsy Sucher, Joni Fox, Mike White, Kay Maple, Sawyer Draper (he is home) and our country. Stay safe and stay healthy.

How college students can confront returning to campus The world’s response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus left no aspect of life untouched. People from all walks of life had to make sacrifices to prevent the spread of the potentially deadly virus, and college students were no exception.

Many colleges and universities abruptly canceled in-person classes in mid-March 2020, forcing students to finish their coursework via remote learning.

That response had a significant impact on the 2019-20 school year, and the virus figures to affect the upcoming school year just as much. In fact, many colleges and universities are beginning the coming school year early in the hopes that students can continue their educations on campus but be safely back home by late November, when many scientists are anticipating a second wave of COVID19 infections will arrive.

Schools that are reopening this summer insist that it is safe to do so, and have even indicated their intentions to implement new prac-

tices to ensure their campuses are safe and healthy environments in which to learn. For example, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is reconfiguring in-person course instruction to include physical distancing provisions.

Small classes will meet in larger spaces, while lectures may be delivered remotely.

Despite such measures, some students may still be hesitant to return to campus at a time when so much about the COVID-19 virus remains a mystery.

The following are some ways students can confront any nervous feelings they may have about returning to campus for a new school year.

• Determine your options. While many colleges and universities are returning to campus, some may be allowing students to learn remotely.

For instance, students with preexisting conditions that make them vulnerable to COVID-19 may be allowed to continue learning from home. Many schools’ roadmaps to returning are fluid, so stu-

dents concerned about returning to campus likely have options that do not require them to sit out the semester.

• Learn about residential life. Many college students live in dorms that feature double or even triple occupancy rooms.

Such an environment will compromise students’ ability to practice social distancing.

Some schools, including B i n g h a m t o n University in New York, are converting triple occupancy rooms into double occupancy.

Both Binghamton and UNC Chapel Hill also are designating one residential hall as temporary housing for students who test positive for COVID19. In addition, some schools may be designating certain residential facilities for at-risk students.

Students who want to avoid the dorms should inquire about off-campus, singleperson housing.

• Ask about testing.

Students have a right to know about COVID-19 testing protocols and should not hesitate to ask what those protocols will be. Due to the fluid nature of schools’ roadmaps to return, testing policies may not yet be set in stone, and are likely to evolve as the school year progresses. Students should look into the testing policy specifics and ask if they have any recourse if they feel the testing policy is inadequate.

Students who are hesitant to return to campus this summer or fall can do their due diligence to determine if they’re comfortable going back to campus.

Wabash Police are participating in the SAVE (Stop Arm Violation Program) program which is developed by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute and funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Wabash Police will be patrolling along bus stops and routes looking for stop-arm

violations and motorists driving dangerously, according to Capt. Matt Benson, the department’s Public Information officer.

In Indiana, it is against the law for motorists to pass a bus that has stopped and has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. This applies to all roads except multi-lane

divided highways which divider or unpaved median such as U.S. 24.

Remember, yellow flashing lights indicated a bus is preparing to stop.

Red flashing lights and stop arm extended indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off the bus.

“We take these violations very serious-

ly and personally, as they jeopardize the safety of every child on that bus,” said Patrolman Aaron Snover.

School is now back in session and please slow down. Children may be walking to and from bus stops.

The public should work together to keep the children safe this school year.
