Wabash County native returns home: Mike Leckrone, longtime band director at the University of Wisconsin, leads the band in a performance in Madison, Wis. Leckrone, a North Manchester native, will return to Wabash County next week to lead the Mississinewa Valley Concert Band in a Patriotic Pops Concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 27, at the Honeywell Center. The performance is part of the Center’s Summer Plaza Concert Series.

The Honeywell Foundation took over the theater program a few summers back. The program offers opportunities for children of all ages, including an offering for three separate age groups performing theatrical plays at the Honeywell Center. The first and second grade group

performed “Goldilocks and the Bears” on June 14. The third through sixth grade group will perform “Annie Jr.” on June 21 and 22 at 5 p.m. in Ford Theater. And finally, the seventh through 12th grade group will perform “The Newsies” on June 21 and 22 at 7:30 p.m. in Ford Theater following the performance of “Annie Jr.” Director Jessica Keffaber (continued on page 5)

Work on the city’s inclusive playground should be complete sometime in July. That was the word from Park Superintendent Adam Hall to the Wabash Board of Parks and Recreation on Wednesday night, June 12. “They do have a tentative finish date of hopefully mid-July,” he said. “Mid-July is their tentative goal.” Work is underway on a grand opening celebration for the facility. “It’s in the works,” Hall said. “Nothing has been decided yet.” Most of the playground is in, Hall continued. There were problems with two pieces of equipment which weren’t designed correctly, so those items needed to be replaced. “Most of it now is getting the landscaping started, as well,” he said. “We’ve put fresh dirt out and they’re getting ready to doing some groundwork on that.” Brush and grass at the site was cut, Hall said, noting “that’s going to take a little time to bring it back to nor(continued on page 6)

WHS honors City Council member By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash City Council member Doug Adams received accolades Monday night from Wabash High School principal Kyle Wieland. Wieland presented Adams, a longtime coach in the Wabash County Special Olympics program, a plaque honoring him for his help in creat-

ing a unified track team at the high school. He also presented Adams a Face of Sportsmanship pin available from the Indiana High School Athletic Association. “One of the things I’m very proud about what we did this year at Wabash High School is we started unified sports,” Wieland said in making the presentation. “It allows students with cognitive disabil-

Doug, I had a better understanding of what he contributed to our community.” Adams said he was surprised and honored by the presentation. Council also heard a presentation from Wabash County Historical Museum intern Jenna Terry on various changes planned for the museum. Those changes include expanding the children’s area on the second floor. In 2018, 18,067 people visited the museum, and the facility hosted 138 field trips. The community room also was rented 93 times, she reported. The museum opened in 2005 and officials were focused on preserving history and historical arti-

facts. In 2013, new director Mitch Figert began exploring ways to make the facility more family friendly, Terry said. Museum officials are hoping to expand the Parkview Wabash Education Center, which includes many items for children to play with and explore, including a play area and area with foam blocks the children can play with and build items. “One of the things we would like to do is add on to the existing play structure,” Terry said. “We would like to make it more accessible for older children, so we’ve got a big, twisty slide and some monkey bars that we’re looking to add.” They also plan to

Photo by Joseph Slacian update other equipment in the education center, as well as moving part of a wall to make more space inside the area. Terry said officials hope that the children use the space to help expand their imagination.

“And then our hope is, once the children have grown too old for this education center, they will still want to stay engaged with the museum so they can look at other artifacts and look around,” she said.

It’s a great opportunity. “Some of our students, as teenagers, still hadn’t really had the opportunity to see what competitive athletics was like, what it was like to be a part of a team and all the things that come along with that.” School officials were struggling with trying to put such a team together, he continued, and reached out to community members for help. “One of the first people it was suggested I talk to was Doug Adams,” Wieland said. “He ended up being a very important part of adding unified athletics to our school.

Superintendent Mike Keaffaber said. “That’s the distance learning program that we have right now that’s part of White’s Junior-Senior High School, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be White’s Junior-Senior High students.” The director will be the instructional leader of the program. They will meet with individuals and groups both publicly and privately to discuss and interpret the various aspects of the program. Their position will be to grow the program. The individual will be like a principal, but won’t be called such because the individual doesn’t have to have an administra-

tor’s license. The board also accepted the resignation of Troy Friedersdorf, who had served as the principal at White’s. The board also approved the textbook fee prices for the 201920 school year. The Little Knights/Norse program will cost $150, while kindergarten through sixth grade will cost $190. High school fees will vary depending on which classes the student takes. In other matters, the board approved the 2019-20 calendar of board of education meetings. All meetings are on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 6 p.m.

Hoosier Chiropractic opens in Wabash H o o s i e r Chiropractic celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, June 10. The new facility, owned by Wabash native Dr. Neil Bever, is located at 60 W. Hill St. Bever has practiced chiropractic care for the last two years in Logansport, but has

always dreamed about bringing his practice back to Wabash. With the birth of his daughter, Solveigh, he thought the timing was right. “My adjusting is very similar to every other technique you might be used to, but besides adjusting, my passion is preventative care,” Bever said. “Taking the time to do the appropriate exercises and stretches for you will not only keep you from needing to

get in and get adjusted, but also lead to a longer, healthier life. “From factory workers, to athletes, to pregnant women and also people spending long hours in a sedentary job, there are many ways to cause stress to your body. For most people, the answer is in learning how to move properly.” Mayor Scott Long said it’s great to have a community member open a business in

Wabash. “We welcome you guys with open arms,” he said, noting the city is looking for ways to increase business and population. Jason Callahan, Grow Wabash County board chair, also welcomed Bever and his family back to the community. “I want to thank Neil for the investment in Wabash,” he said. “We just want to grow a vibrant, thriving community. I

think a business like this will help us do that.” H o o s i e r Chiropractic will be open from 7 a.m. to noon and 3-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 260-225-9444 to book an appointment and follow its Facebook page – Hoosier Chiropractic – for videos and updates on the practice.

WCS unveils Ambassador Program By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash City Schools recently announced plans to start an Ambassador Program, which according to the school, is an engaging, year-long learning experience for select Wabash community leaders and school district parents to enjoy a deeper understanding of

Wabash City Schools. “Our vision statement is really important to us,” Superintendent Jason Callahan said. “It’s building a legacy of opportunity for all students. We think the ambassador program helps build out those opportunities for our kids.” The program is designed to better engage the Wabash Community in the work that’s going on

at Wabash City Schools, specifically around the district’s pillars of relationships, innovation, academics, wellness and safety, and global citizenship. School officials had seen a similar program at Noblesville Schools, and wanted to replicate it. In the first year, the hope is to reach out to people and get some applications, and then continue it every year for people who want to become better acquainted with the school system and all

the things that are going on. “It’s hard to sell those things just at a board meeting,” Callahan said. “We felt like this was a way to engage the community, and then also create advocates for what we’re doing, so that when people are out in the community and they’re asking questions about things, people outside of our district are able to speak on those things.” The program takes the ambassadors through a year-long

dive into the finances, how the cafeteria and food service works, transportation, academics, and once a month the ambassadors will meet for breakfast to cover those items, centered around the districts five pillars. The purpose of the program is to promote better community engagement. “We always want to raise the cultural value of education, and we hope this will do that,” Callahan said. Callahan hopes the

ambassadors come to be able to advocate for Wabash City Schools and the work its doing. Callahan also hopes the ambassadors get involved once they’ve gone through the program. “Ultimately, we started an education foundation in the last year, and we’re hoping that we can maybe create an advisory board for the ambassadors,” Callahan said.

Park officials suggest new Storywalk site By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A new site has been proposed for a possible Storywalk. Wabash Park Superintendent Adam Hall and Brian Campbell, president of the Wabash Board of Parks and

Recreation, met with Wabash Carnegie Library representatives and suggested placing the Storywalk near the Huntington Street parking lot at Paradise Spring Historical Park. In April, library officials broached the Storywalk with the park board. A storybook walk consists of a series of posts with a display in which a page from a storybook is featured. The concept behind

the project is to entice families with young children to stroll through the walk and read each page of the storybook. When the walk is finished, the book will have been read. Most children storybooks have 32 pages, so 17 posts would be needed along the walk. The book would be replaced about once a month. Library officials first suggested plac-

‘the paper’

ing the Storywalk along the Wabash River Trail. However, park officials believe that could cause some congestion issues for those walking or riding along the trail. Hall, in turn, suggested locating the walk along the Charley Creek Trail that links the Morrett Sports Complex and O.J. Neighbours Elementary School, or the new trail near Parkview Wabash (continued on page 5 *These adoptions made possible by donations, including Bickford Assisted Living

WMI plans mural along River Walk By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Portions of the Wabash Street bridge along the River Walk will receive a new look, thanks in part to a project from Wabash Marketplace Inc. The Wabash Park Board on Wednesday, June 12, granted WMI permission to paint a mural on portions of the underpass that is owned by the City of Wabash. It was unclear if that included the portion immediately beneath the bridge, or if that was owned by the Indiana Department of Transportation. If owned by INDOT, board members weren’t sure if they could give permission to WMI to paint that section. Rather, they granted permission solely for the sections leading to underneath the bridge, and instructed WMI officials to check with INDOT if they wished to paint the portion in question. The board also said it would like to approve the mural and the color of paint that will be used for the work. In another matter, the Oak Hill Swim Club received permission to temporarily use the Honeywell Pool for practice two mornings per week. Club representative Crystal Maynard told the board that the Oak Hill pool is being renovated and the swim club needs to find places to practice for about five weeks. The club practices M o n d a y s , Wednesdays and Fridays at Indiana Wesleyan University, but that pool is unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays. After much debate, the board unanimously approved letting the club use the pool, most likely from 7-9 a.m. those two days. The club will reimburse the city for the cost of having a lifeguard on hand during the practices. While the club’s coach is a certified life guard, board members believed a local guard also should be present.

VPA program explained that “The Newsies” is a musical based on the 1992 film “Newsies”, which is adapted from the true story of the newsboys strike of 1899 in New York City. “Basically, it was during the time of the Spanish-American War,” Keffaber said. “The papers all upped their prices because everyone wanted the paper, so they thought ‘hey we can make more money.’ And, after the war was over, demand for the papers fell, but William Hearst and Joe Pulitzer decided they still wanted to make money and decided not to drop prices.” The newsies, who were their sellers at the time, had to buy the papers to then turn around and sell them to make money.

“These kids, they form a bond. They become friends, and we really do become a family during these three weeks.” — Jessica Keffaber ‘Newsies’ director “They were starting to feel the pinch, and they decided to go on strike,” Keffaber said. Keffaber said the participants and the staff become a type of family during the rehearsal and production of the VPA programs. “We’ve got kids from not only Wabash, but we have kids coming to us from Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and Rochester,” she said. “These kids, they form a bond. They become friends, and we really do become a family during these

three weeks.” Not only do the performers form a bond, they also put their talents on display. “The talent level is amazing,” Keffaber said. “I don’t get to see a lot of these kids throughout the school year, and when they come in, they’re kids that can just sing amazingly and kids that can dance amazingly. They’re hard workers, and the talent is always bright.” Brendan Rowan is going to be a sophomore at Wabash High School. He said he wanted to participate

Storywalk Hospital. Board members also suggested near the inclusive park, however later said they didn’t think that site would be sufficient. The Huntington Street location already has a trail started, Hall noted. “The idea was to continue that trail along the brush line, along that grassy area and back to the parking lot,” he said. “The one down side we have here is we don’t have a full trail yet, so that would have to be

an addition, somehow.” Hall said he would seek possible costs. “If we purposely make it for a Storywalk, only,” Hall told the board, “eight feet would be the minimum we need. We wouldn’t need a 10foot trail.” In coming years, the site could be used as a nature trail. “The benefits I like about this,” he continued, “is the parking lot is readily available. You have the restrooms right there. It’s flat.”

in VPA after seeing “Annie” with the Wabash Area Community Theatre. His cousin was part of that production, and it sparked his interest in theater. In “The Newsies” Rowan plays Davey, who is one of the characters that has some money, unlike the newsies. Davey’s father got laid off at his job, and so that’s why Davey starts selling papers. “He starts to realize these kids are being treated really wrong,” Rowan said. “That’s why he helps the

other main character Jack start this strike, and rebel.” Rowan said one of the best parts of participating in the VPA is the kinship developed during the course of rehearsals and performances. “I have made so many friendships this year and last year,” he said. “It’s so much fun, and I always look forward to making new friendships, especially because there’s kids from all different schools. I go to Wabash and don’t normally talk to the kids that go to Southwood and Northfield. It’s really fun to talk to them. “I just really love being on stage,” Rowan added. “I’ve learned to step back and be in the moment, and not rush through things.”

...continued from Page 16 Campbell noted that because it is flat, those in wheelchairs could easily use it. “There’s plenty of room there,” he said. “Then it would come down to cost again.” Board member Dan Ford asked if a paved trail is needed, or could the story signs be placed along a grassy trail? “If we put a trail in, that’s our expense not theirs,” he noted. Campbell said that wasn’t discussed with library officials, but it could be an option. Board member

Kerri Mattern said she believes the site would be sufficient. But, Campbell reminded, “all we can do is talk about it

right now.” “If we don’t have the funds to build it, then there’s not much we can do,” he said.

Extension Office has events planned By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Purdue Extension educator Mindy Mayes was on hand during the Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners meeting Monday morning to deliver the commissioners the Extension’s annual report and remind them of a couple of important upcoming dates. Mayes led off the brief meeting. Mayes said the Wabash County Fair is from July 12-20 this year, while the Extension’s farm management tour is June 27 and 28. A handout Mayes presented showed

that Wabash County 4-H increased enrollment by 3.5 percent in 2018, creating a twoyear increase of 7 percent. Sheriff Ryan Baker then delivered the weekly jail report. He was the only other person to speak at the meeting. The jail’s average population was 122, with 30 new bookings, and 11 transports. Forty-two prisoners were being housed in Miami County, with six being housed in Elkhart County. The current jail population as of Monday morning was 127, with 178 total inmates. The jail was housing 55 Level 6 felons.

After the speech the senator shook hands and posed for selfies with everyone that wanted to meet her. Later that night her campaign appeared on a live MSNBC town hall gathering in Fort Wayne, hosted by Chris Hayes. Indiana was the 20th State Warren had visited. “Indiana’s primary is in May, and is usually considered a fly over state among Democratic candidates in the past,” Harris noted.

A fundraiser is planned for the family of the late Margaret “Maggie” Lynn MacOwan. The Zumbathon & Pound fundraiser will be from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, June 22, at the Wabash County YMCA.

The Urbana Lions are in the process of planning events for the months to come and would like local residents to be involved in making decisions that affect our community. The Lions are looking for additional ways the Lions (community) park can be used by the residents of Urbana. The park has been developed into an area with many features that make it stand out in our community. The park has much potential at present and there are plans for further development if the Lions can get community support. Currently it is being used for baseball games and car shows. Over the past two years indoor restrooms with running water have been built and a new charcoal grill has been installed which adds to the value of the park as a picnic area. The Lions would like

Wabash County students in grades 4-8 participated in the Promise Scholarship Essay assignment during second semester of the 2018-2019 year. Students wrote a one-page essay on a topic related to career or college. 4th-7th graders responded to a variety of prompts, while 8th graders responded to prompts from the Common College Application. All students who are enrolled in Promise Scholarships earned up to $20 for completing the assignment, and the winners received an additional $25 scholarship to be deposited into their Promise Scholarship Fund at the Community Foundation. Winning essays were selected by teachers at each school. Officials at the Community Foundation of Wabash County congratulate the following winners from each county school: Manchester Community Schools 4th grade: Cyton Vawter, Bronwyn Harris, Ava Sautter, Adriana Escudero 5th grade: Gavin Harting, Xavier Harting, Liam Kreps-Miller, Maggie Onderko-White, Joanna Eberly 6th grade: Ava Baker, Hanna Stout, Tristan Paquera, Zachary Owens, Ainsley Dahlstrom 7th grade: Sophie Leckrone, Calvin Brown, Kaydence Whennen, Evyn Fox, Carleigh Blevins, Leyna Borgmann 8th grade: Abby Love Northfield 4th grade: Caleb Dubois, Nichole Fisher, Lilli Koonce, Holten Satterthwaite 5th grade: Trevor Galbraith, Tyler Compton, Jaci Gibson 6th grade: Emma Warnock, Riley McKillip, Tyson Baer 7th grade: Haiely Krom 8th grade: Asia Miller Southwood 4th grade: Allyson Staggs, Ross Andrews, Shania Rhamy 5th grade: Hailey Collins 6th grade: Luke Herring, Keaton Metzger 7th grade: Emma Adams, Kalen Parke, Graceland Swain, Abigail Guyer 8th grade: Zeb Herring Wabash City Schools 4th grade: Mia Fairchild, Lily-Ann Abshire, Grace Starr, Alyssa Crowley, Luke Blossom 5th grade: Jaycee Jones, Brylee Fagan, Sadie Teel, Bryleigh Boggs, Jordan Rider 6th grade: Coltyn Sellers 7th grade: Natalie Adams, Grant Ford, Troy Guenin-Hodson 8th grade: Cole Hughes, Rachel Stapleton, Aubrey Till St. Bernard Catholic School 4th grade: Jacob White 5th grade: Ashleigh Hadley 6th grade: Rory Poston Zeb Herring, Southwood 8th grader, explained that failure has been fundamental to reaching his goals. For example, his running coach challenged the team to run a mile in approximately six minutes. After two weeks of team practice, he failed to bring his time under seven minutes. Finally, he began practicing on his own, pushing through pain and inconvenience, and finally brought his time to six and a half minutes. The lesson he learned was that “I had to fail and fail — and just keep running.” In her essay, St. Bernard 6th grader Rory Poston explored the earning potential of various degrees and certifications, and considered how best to nurture her interest in building and real estate development. Rory concluded that the best way to “build” her future is to obtain a bachelor’s degree from ISU in construction management and urban development. Calvin Brown, a 7th grader at Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School, wrote about the long term benefits of his favorite extra-curricular activity, Science Olympiad. Even more than science class, Science Olympiad gave him “an in-depth look at how science can be applied to the real world, and also many leadership characteristics and social skills.” He succeeded

in winning an event at the state tournament, but prior to this, he reflected on how Science Olympiad taught him “how to learn from mistakes and keep going even if I don’t succeed the first time,” preparing him for college, career, and the rest of his life. In her essay on perseverance, Northfield 8th grader Asia Miller said she has never given up while playing a sport, but she also never fully committed to improving herself and her team. She would “settle” and be content sitting on the bench or watching from the sidelines. This past year, she made a point to do all she could “to be a better athlete — playing more, learning more, getting back up, trying again” — and not just once, because “just like failure, success doesn’t happen overnight.” Wabash Middle School 8th grader Aubrey (continued on page 18)

Cucumber cool!

Cool, crisp, flavorful, inviting and refreshing, this simple yet spectacular salad is an easy way for you to go cucumber cool! Food stylist and photographer: Laura Kurella

I enjoy this time of year so much because it brings with it so many truly fresh fruits and vegetables for the offering. Having spent winter eating stored, oxygen-deprived produce, I’ve come to realize that while these long-term storage techniques do help maintain an appearance of freshness in produce, it does not stop the fading of flavor, texture and often crispness that can only be found in fresh! I was reminded of that when I sampled the first fresh cucumber of this season. It was not just delicious, it was crazy delicious! Its flavor was so amazing in fact, that I required nothing more than a knife to slice its delicious flesh into sliverthin slices that I found myself eating right from the edge of the blade – an act my father would certainly admonish me for participating in. As my knife whittled its way down the cool and crisp, watery flesh of this young and tender cuke, I found myself slicing it ever so thinner and thinner in the hopes of prolonging all the pleasure it was bringing. Nearing the end, I forced myself to put the knife down and rest what remained of this amazing cucumber on a napkin beside me. Stepping back, I took a moment to savor

all of its delicious flavor and aroma that was still slightly lingering sweetly on my tongue. “So amazing!” I had to sigh. “Thank you, Lord, for this most amazing treat. It truly is the best cucumber I ever did eat!” In addition to awesome flavor when incredibly fresh, cucumbers also possess many nutrients and health bonuses that we can all benefit from like lignans, which according to research may decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and several types of cancer. Linked to a lower risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, while we think of cucumbers consisting mostly of water, it happened to be fluid that is rich in important electrolytes, which helps prevent dehydration and also keeps our body systems running right. Known for possessing anti-inflammatory benefits, a peeled cucumber, even when simply placed directly on the skin, will not only decrease swelling, irritation and inflammation but also alleviate sunburn while a unique cooling and soothing effect, too! Cucumbers are incredible and they taste amazing too. Here now are some crisp, classic and creative ways for you to find your way to cucumber cool – ENJOY!

Leckrone to conduct local concert By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com

A North Manchester native and lauded college band director will return to the area for one night only to lead a local band. Mike Leckrone recently retired from the University of Wisconsin as the Director of Marching Band and Director of Bands after 50 years at the helm. He will join the Mississinewa Valley Concert Band, a community band out of Marion, for its Patriotic Pops Concert Thursday, June 27 at Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. Mississinewa Valley Concert Band director John Brane has been instrumental in bringing Leckrone back to the area for the concert. Brane started the community band out of Marion in 2000 after retiring from Eastbrook School Corporation. Both from Wabash County, Leckrone and Brane both attended the Jordan College of Music of Butler University in Indianapolis where they met. “He had a vehicle and I’d ride home with him some weekends,” Brane said. “We became well acquainted.” “We are quite good friends,” Leckrone said. “We formed a friendship all the way through college and sort of kept track of the other’s career.” While Brane started his high school teaching career, Leckrone stayed at Butler to work on his master’s degree. He remained at Butler for 10 years before starting his 50year journey in Wisconsin. Over his 50 years, Leckrone has been honored with numerous awards as well as being inducted into the UW Athletic Hall of Fame. “We’ve had some great years with some Rose Bowl appearances, the basketball Final Four...,” he said. “When I was in Indiana, hockey wasn’t a big sport, but here, I think we’ve had six national championships in hockey. It’s really been a fun ride for me

to see all these things happen.” Leckrone’s love of music and bands started in North Manchester where he attended school and graduated from Chester Township High School. His father Harold Leckrone was the band director at Manchester High School and wrote the school song, while his mother Mary Lou was also strongly involved in the band program. “I feel especially close to the whole idea of making music,” Leckrone said. “And I feel like I have my feet in both states right now.” As Brane prepared for the upcoming Patriotic Pops Concert, he had Leckrone in mind. “He’s retiring this year, and I wondered what would be the possibility of having him come down and be a part of our concert as a guest conductor and play some of his arrangements,” Brane said. “My idea was to have him come to Wabash County, kind of like a ‘local boy makes big,’ and he’s made it very big. “Here’s Mike Leckrone from Manchester, coming back to direct our band for some selections.” Leckrone said he is looking forward to meet up with Braine, and as excited for the concert. “Most of the pieces [we’re performing] I did the arrangements,” he said. “We chose one from highlights from ‘Music Man’. The story is kind of what it’s like to get a band going, and that’s what we both do – it seemed to be a natural to do it when I came back to Indiana.” Through all the years of hard work of leading a band the size of the University of Wisconsin’s, Leckrone said he always tries to make it an entertaining experience. “One of the things I’ve tried to do up here is feel like music is supposed to be fun, and I try to have fun doing it … and at the same time, play well,” he said. “We are going to do a couple of Wisconsin songs, and I have been very active in what I call

Mike Leckrone retired from the University of Wisconsin after 50 years of service. University of Wisconsin photo crowd participation. “We’re going to try to get crowd going a little bit.” Brane said he is excited to collaborate with his long-time friend. “I asked him the

other day how many arrangements he has made and its probably 2,500 to 3,000,” Brane said. “He’s arranged music forever. “He’s been very successful as a band director, very success-

ful promoting music education, and in teaching band directors to be better band directors.” Leckrone’s feelings are similar. “John is getting ready to retire from

what he’s doing. We’ve kind of matched careers for a long time,” Leckrone said. “He and I getting together … we’re excited for that, and we are going to stir up some memories while

I’m there.” A part of the Honeywell Center’s Summer Plaza Concert Series, the Patriotic Pops Concert on Thursday, June 27, begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Honeywell

Quitting smoking means more time with one’s family

Paradise Spring officials appreciate visit Dear Editor: The O.J. Neighbours 4th graders visited Paradise Spring as one of the stops on their end of year downtown walking tour field trip. The Paradise Spring Board, along with several other volunteers, were stationed at different cabins in the historic park to portray citizens from the 1800’s. Paradise Spring is the site of the 1826 Treaty between the Miami and Potawatomi Nations and the United States Government. In recent years, the Paradise Spring Board has hosted various events to remind Wabash residents of the importance of the Treaty and how land acquisition allowed a Canal to be built and brought many people to settle in Wabash County. Board President Greg Moore, portraying Gov. James Ray of Indiana and Board Secretary Deanna Unger, portraying a pioneer woman, welcomed each group of students as they arrived. Then they were introduced to General John Tipton one of three Commissioners appointed by the

Government to conduct the Treaty negotiations with the Tribes. Tipton explained why this was a perfect site for the Treaty – a large flat area with a bountiful spring to provide water for many people and animals during the Treaty negotiations. The students witnessed interaction between militia and Commissioners and entered the Council House where the Treaty was signed. They also visited the cabin of Samuel and Mary McClure who are considered the first permanent white settlers in Wabash

County; the Rev. Isaac McCoy and his wife Christiana, Hugh Hanna, the Bakers who built a grist mill, and Siders family demonstrated the process of turning flax into fibers for spinning provided additional educational vignettes. Before each class moved on to their next stop, they were shown the time-line Paradise Spring t-shirts they would all receive from the Board, thanks to the generosity of the Melba Johnson Custer Educational Endowment. We wish to thank the 4th grade teachers

Mrs. Copeland, Mrs. France, Mrs. Kendall, Mrs. Sparks and Mrs. Hostetler for bringing their students to learn the history of Paradise Spring; also the Wabash middle school students who weeded the flower beds at the Park and Adam Hall and the Parks Dept. who keep our Parks so beautiful. The volunteers who portrayed characters that day were: Jim Needler - General John Tipton; Greg Moore – Gov. James B. Ray; Sam Unger – Gov. Lewis Cass; Bob Gillespie – Rev. Isaac

McCoy; Jean Gilbert – wife Christiana McCoy, Captain John Davis, Private John Byers, and Private Rob Ozenbaugh – militia; Mark Wagner – Samuel McClure; Betty Flitcraft – wife Mary McClure; Bruce Rovelstad – Hugh Hanna; Ron and Sandra Pickle – Mr. & Mrs. Baker – builder of Grist Mill at Stockdale; and Phil & Peg Siders, Hank Gray and Makenzie Wilkinson - flax rendering demonstration. – Deanna Unger, Paradise Spring board secretary

Staffers shined Dear Editor: After spending two weeks at Peabody’s for rehab, I was able to return to my home after a serious illness. The room was somewhat overwhelming, as it was so beautiful and spacious. Then my gratitude to the doctor, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and of course the dietary; the food was excellent. It is my greatest wish for all those who cared for me to know how deeply grateful I am for restoring my health and helping me return to my home. Kudos to Peabody’s. – Gwen Huffman, Beaver Dam Lake

Dear Editor: June is Men’s Health Month and Father’s Day took place this past weekend. It’s not too late to give a great gift for your family this Father’s Day is to start living tobacco free. Smoking is the number one cause of preventable death and costs 11,100 Hoosier lives every year. Dads who smoke can celebrate Father’s Day by quitting, and family and friends can help support dads who are trying to quit. There are many reasons why dads may want to quit smoking. 23.5 percent of Indiana men smoke, which is higher than the national rate of 15.8% Men are more likely to be current cigarette smokers than women Men who smoke increase their risk of dying from bronchitis by nearly 10 times; from emphysema by nearly 10 times; from lung cancer by more

than 22 times; and from heart disease triples The Indiana Tobacco Quitline (1800-784-8669) is a free phone-based counseling service that helps Hoosiers quit all tobacco products, including smokeless tobacco. There is also a web based counseling option (eQuitNow.com) and supplementary texting service, Text2Quit. Services are available 24/7 so call 1-800QuitNow today or v i s i t QuitNowIndiana.com Quitting smoking has numerous benefits, but perhaps the greatest of all is more time with family and loved ones. — Dan Gray, Director, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition

Officials appreciate new Laketon sign Dear Editor: The Laketon Pleasant Township Association wants to say a special thank you to Jack Schuler and Round Barn Metal for the donation of material and labor for the new sign, “Welcome to Laketon,” placed at the corner of Main Street and Ogden Road. Also, a thank you to the residents and

businesses in and near-by Laketon and those on Ogden Road, who generously contribute each year the street lights of Laketon and Ijamsville. The 20 lights of this community are totally funded by the support of their generosity. — Thelma J. Butler, Laketon Pleasant T o w n s h i p Association treasurer

Carl Fisher story was interesting Dear Editor: I want to thank you for the wonderful article on the Viewpoint page about Carl Fisher. His story is so interesting and one that should not be forgotten. I taught at both the Carl Fisher and James A. Allison schools in Speedway and lived close to the race track in the late

1950s. I researched the story of the race track and the four men involved in its founding. I also interviewed Lem Trotter, who purchased the farmland for the track surreptitiously so the price would stay low. Carl Fisher was an exciting and fascinating maverick of his time. – Joan Joyce, North Manchester

CF distributes $270,000 in scholarships Article provided NORTH MANCHESTER — This year, the Community Foundation is honored to have distributed nearly 300 scholarships totaling some $270,000 to Wabash County high school seniors and students of several colleges, universities, and seminaries. Scholarships support students entering or currently studying at traditional colleges and universities, as well as students pursuing certifications from vocational training schools. The Community Foundation distributes almost 70 scholarships endowments that were created by donors who wanted to remember a loved one, honor an alma mater, or support students with certain skills or ambitions. Some are merit based. Some are need based. By the time they are all handed out, the awards generally go to the student whose profile reveals high need and high ability. At the Community

Foundation, most of the people who founded scholarship endowments built into them a list of selection criteria with the criterion of financial need near the top. They also want to award other things, like character traits, career training, or enrollment at a particular school. Then, the people who review the applications sit in front of a computer for hours, reading applications and trying to figure out who should have each award. The overarching aim of the scholarship program at the C o m m u n i t y Foundation is to drive up the educational attainment level of the county and to prepare the future workforce to take up the jobs we have in the county. We think we can do that by getting dollars to families who will bear the greatest amount of debt. And the students who will bear the greatest debt are probably not the ones you think they are.

Students who carry the most debt after college or career training are from middle class families. When they complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal and State Aid), the algorithm says they should be able to pay between $5000 and $20,000 annually for college. Low income families, who are determined to pay nothing, can get a full tuition scholarship through the 21st Century Scholars Program. They also qualify for Pell and state grants. But middle income families get almost no help. And, unlike their wealthy neighbors, they can’t write a check for tuition every semester, let alone room and board. They must borrow. The student we’re hoping to help with C o m m u n i t y F o u n d a t i o n Scholarships is the one who doesn’t qualify for federal aid and must rely exclusively on merit scholarships, financial aid from his or her college, and pri-

vate sector scholarships and loans. Not all scholarships can be pointed at the middle class, of course, but where we can, we use our need-based scholarships to lift some of the financial burden off these families. We are pleased to support our local students and grateful to the donors whose selfless generosity makes these scholarships possible. The Community Foundation congratulates the class of 2019 on their selection for scholarship awards and wishes all Wabash County graduates all the best in their future endeavors.

Area businesses to help couple By David Brinson news@thepaperofwabash.com After their wedding two years ago, Sam and Amanda Hann knew immediately they wanted to start a family. Their road to becoming parents has turned into a long, expensive adoption process, blocked with endless fees and disappointment. However, June 20, from 5 to 8 p.m., many of Wabash’s small business owners are rallying around the Hanns by donating 10 percent of their sales to the couple. The businesses participating in the event include Tiny Threads Children’s Boutique, Eclectic Shoppe, Wooden Ivy Boutique and Floral, Center Court Barber Shop, Bash Boutique, Nick’s Hotdog Cart, Wabash’s Pizza King and more. Prizes for donating are available, which were provided by other businesses throughout Wabash, like the Auto Laundry and Charley Creek Wine Shop. The Hanns began the adoption process in April 2018 and thought they’d found their baby (a boy), but the birth mother had a change of heart and decided to keep her child after the delivery. The whole process hit reset. They had to start all over. Now, they hope they’ve

Leah Hines (from left), Amanda Hann, Sam Hann Photo by David Brinson found their perfect match: an unborn girl in Mississippi, due July 22. Realizing all the items they’d bought for the first match was for a boy, Amanda decided to shop at Tiny Threads Children’s Boutique to find new clothes. When the boutique’s owner, Leah Hines, happened to strike up a conversation with Amanda, she was moved by the couple’s story. “We had been starting to talk as small business owners about giving back to the community more than we have been,” Hines said. “I heard their story and I said this would be an excellent charity event for us, a great way for us to give back.” Hines said one of the reasons she started a business was so she could serve her

community in ways like this. As a children’s boutique, she likes to focus on helping families. “They’re awesome people, from everything I know about them, and I don’t know the adoption process like they do, but it’s crazy to think that it costs so much to adopt a child. Children just need a loving home and loving parents that are going to help raise them,” Hines said. Both Sam and Amanda agreed the adoption process’s whiplash of emotions and constant financial stresses have proved difficult to navigate, and while they try not to get their hopes up, they can’t help but be excited for that due date. “It’s been a hard journey, but it’s going to be worthwhile, be-

cause at the end of the day, we’re going to have a baby and it’s going to be amazing,” Mrs. Hann said. “But it’s really cool to know that baby is going to be loved by everybody, because the community is going to be invested in it too.” Mrs. Hann, 33, works in marketing at Ford Meter Box. Hann, 28, is an ag professional. They are both members of the Bachelor Creek Church of Christ and are incredibly grateful for the community’s support. “It’s very humbling,” Sam Hann said. “Leah reached out and put together this event and it just kind of brought tears to our eyes, because it takes a community to raise a kid, and it’s amazing to live in a community that will support us.”

Junior Achievement hosts fundraiser: More than 700 ducks were dumped into the Honeywell Pool on Saturday afternoon during the first Junior Achievement of Wabash County Ducky Derby. In the end, entry No. 362 purchased by Angie Herring was the first to float across the width of the pool to win the race. Duck No.406 purchased by Phil Keefer finished second. They will receive prizes from Junior Achievement, which will benefit from the proceeds of the contest. Photo by Joseph Slacian
