July 4 celebrations planned around area

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Fourth of July celebrations are planned this weekend in three Wabash County communities.

Manchester University is collaborating with Manchester Community Schools and the town of North Manchester to present the 2020 Independence Day Celebration and Fireworks Display on Saturday, July 4.

The rain date is July 5.

“We had to move the fireworks from Manchester University this year, in large part because the new stadium area is still a construction

zone,” said Alexis Young, who coordinates the event for the university. “We are happy to work with Jeremy Markham at Manchester Community Schools and Adam Penrod with the town to make this patriotic event happen for our community.”

The free celebration kicks off at 9 p.m. with the Manchester Civic Band. Families and individuals are encouraged to come early to find a spot, maintaining social distancing with those not in their own households, and have a great time. Lawn chairs or blankets will make viewing more comfortable.

Parking is available at Manchester High School, Manchester Administrative Building and Manchester Recreation Association.

The Rotary Club of North Manchester will sell food, water and soft drinks.

The North Manchester Fire Department will light up the sky over the high school baseball field at 10 p.m. with fireworks.

For the safety of guests, no alcohol, sparklers or personal fireworks are permitted.

Those taking pictures or posting to social media can use #MUJuly4 to share their pictures.

There will be no

speakers or children’s activities this year.

In Roann, town wide rummage sales will be July 2nd - 4th.

July 4th from 7:0010:00 a.m. will be The Roann Festival Fundraiser breakfast.

It is all you can eat pancake and sausage breakfast at the Community Building.

Adults - $7.00, children 4-12 - $4.00 and children under 4 will eat free.

A garden tractor pull with the Indiana Garden Tractor Pullers will begin at 11 a.m., followed by an antique tractor pull at 2 p.m. No money involved in the antique tractor pull, as it is a “pull for fun”!

Fireworks will begin at dusk at the

pulling field.

The City of Wabash’s fireworks display will be at dusk July 4. The rain date is July 5. No other activities are planned by the city.

The fireworks will be launched in the field behind the Wabash Street Department.

The Field of Dreams will be open to allow those wanting to view the fireworks from there to do so.

Officials remind the public that there is no parking on the football or soccer fields at Field of Dreams. They also urge the public not to set off personal fireworks or sparklers at the site as it is still very dry and there is

a fire risk due to lack of rain.

Capt. Matt Benson, the Wabash Police Department’s Public Information Officer, reminds residents of what the laws are related to private fireworks.

Under Indiana law, A person may use fireworks on their own property or having received permission from the property owner. A person must be at least 18 years of age to possess or use fireworks unless a responsible adult is present.

Fireworks are not permitted on city property.

Times for legal consumer fireworks discharges are as follows: Holidays (Memorial

Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, New Year’s Eve) 9 a.m. to midnight.

Fireworks may be discharged between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. on all other days.

The Wabash City Police urge citizens to use extreme caution when discharging fireworks.

Reckless behavior causing serious injury to someone else could lead to criminal prosecution.

The Wabash City Police are asking all citizens be considerate of their neighbor’s property when discharging fireworks. Close supervision of all children around fireworks will help prevent subsequent injury.

Volunteers help clean Salamonie property

By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com

On Thursday, June 25, volunteers gathered at the Interpretive/Nature Center at Salamonie Lake for a Volunteer Work Day. “We send out something looking for volunteers once a month here at the reservoir, and those volunteers help us with projects that we get behind on,” Interpretive Naturalist Teresa Rody told The Paper of Wabash County.

“We get behind some because we end up taking care of everyday recreational items for the public.

There’s always another project that you just don’t get to.”

Multiple projects

were taken care of during the work day including repairs to a shelter that had tree damage, work on the landscaping and updates to the raptor center where birds of prey are kept.

Another work day will be held on July 23 from 4-7 p.m.

Volunteers should be sure to wear appropriate shoes and clothing, bring refillable water bottles, and bug spray.

Youth under 12 should have an adult present.

Advance registration is requested for one or both days. To register or for more information, call 260468-2127.

Salamonie Lake’s Interpretive/Nature Center is located at 3691 New Holland

time of recognition for their dedication to our community.”

Speakers at the rally include Pastor Tim Morbitzer, State

Sen. Andy Zay, Wabash City Council Member Terry Brewer and Republican Party Chair Barbara Pearson, along with others.

Charley Creek Inn to receive recongition

Although centennial festivities have been delayed, during the first break of The Bulldogs First Friday performance on Friday, July 3 at 7:25 p.m. State Senator Andy Zay will present Charley Creek Inn with the Indiana Senate/House Resolution to honor the hotel’s 100th Anniversary.

“During the 2020 legislative session, I presented Senate Concurrent Resolution 32, recognizing the Charley Creek Inn for 100 years of business in downtown Wabash,” Zay said. “This establishment is a true treasure in the com-

munity, and I’m grateful for the many people who have ensured its success over the years. I’m honored to present this resolution to the Charley Creek Inn as a token of appreciation for its long, continued service to the community.”

The Georgian Revival gem opened its doors May 6, 1920, as Hotel Indiana.

After falling into disrepair throughout many lively decades, the gracious hotel obtained a new lease on life in 2007, when local philanthropist and historic preservation aficionado Richard E. Ford, of the Ford Meter Box

family, bought the building and renovated it to perfection.

In honor of the milestone, the charming, boutique hotel is inviting travelers to enjoy Wabash’s original central landmark with a memorial Centennial Package once travel restrictions lift. Valid throughout 2020, the anniversary package includes an overnight stay, $50 resort credit, a commemorative 100th Anniversary collective wine gift box with two glasses and choice of “Centennial Cuvee” Dry Red Table Wine or “Centennial White Blend” Semi-Sweet White Table Wine.

Charley Creek Inn has teamed up with the 2019 Indiana Winery of the Year, Country Heritage Winery of LaOtto, Indiana, to create these two signature wines that express the best characteristics of the Midwestern climate and soil where they are grown. These signature wines are also available for purchase by the glass and bottle from the Wine & Cheese Shoppe and Twenty Restaurant.

The Green Hat Lounge, uniting an exquisite blend of modernism with the Prohibition era, is celebrating the anniversary with a signature Centennial Cocktail: “Wabash Cannonball.” A spin on El Presidente, which was popular the same decade as Charley Creek Inn opened, it’s made from Bacardi Tangerine Rum, Captain Morgan Pineapple Rum, Luxardo Cherry Liqueur, Elderflower Liqueur, lemon juice, apple cider, bitters, and Crème de Menthe.

To mark the occasion, Charley Creek Inn is extending hospitality by giving away one

free lunch a week to guests who enter their business card in a drawing. In addition, guests who spend at least $100 during a visit (excluding banquet, gift card or hotel room purchases) will be entered in a quarterly drawing for a more elaborate prize, including the opportunity for a private dinner for four in the Cloud Club, wine tasting for 12 in The Courtyard, birthday party in the Ice Cream & Candy Shoppe, or overnight stay in a deluxe suite with Executive Chef Eric Wilson preparing a private dinner.

As another part of the celebration, four additional rooms are being named for outstanding citizens/organizations in the Wabash community.

Waterworks industry manufacturer Ford Meter Box Company, American Christian author Colleen Coble, Miami Indian Nation/Frances Slocum, and White’s Residential & Family Services/basketball Olympic Gold Medalist Clyde Lovellette will be honored in a room naming ceremony at a later date.

48 local businesses receive OCRA grants Forty-eight businesses located in the City of Wabash will receive grant funding totaling $250,000 through a grant program offered by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) awarded to the City of Wabash and administered by Grow Wabash County.

The grants are funded by OCRA through its COVID-19 Response program, which is focused on providing funding to businesses to help them retain low- to middle-income (LMI) workers and minimize lay-offs caused by low revenue during COVID-19 restrictions.

The funds, awarded in grants ranging from $2,000 to $15,000, may be used by the businesses for certain expenses incurred during the pandemic, such as working capital, expenses incurred by continuing operations, and/or expenses incurred by transitioning the workforce to working remotely.

revolving loans to businesses throughout our county. We take seriously our role of being a convener, advocate, cheerleader, and champion for Wabash County businesses.”

recipients for Wabash has been included below.

“I am ecstatic that the City of Wabash, in partnership with Grow Wabash County, is able to assist 48 local businesses with funding from this Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) COVID-19 relief program,” Mayor Scott Long said. “Our organizations have

worked diligently to ensure that our local small business community not only survives but thrives as this crisis hopefully is nearing its end.

Local small business is the backbone of Wabash and it is what sets the community

apart from surrounding cities. Our continued working relationship with OCRA and the many other State agencies is strong and getting stronger every day.”

A countywide collaboration is currently in the process of applying for grant funding from Phase II of OCRA’s COVID-19 Response program focused on long-term recovery. More details

to follow about this second round of grant funding.

Grow Wabash County would like to thank OCRA for their support of this partnership with the City of Wabash to help local businesses retain jobs and keep Wabash working despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic.

4-H Fair Queen contestants announced

By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com

Julie Echard, organizer of the the Wabash County Fair Queen Contest told The Paper of Wabash County that this year’s contest will be on Wednesday, July 8, at 7 p.m. in the Ford Theater at the Honeywell Center.

This year, there are 26 contestants that are vying to be the 59th Wabash County Fair Queen.

The evening will also include recognition of the 37 4-Hers that are completing their 10th year in 4-H and the announcement of the next inductee into the Wabash County 4-H Hall of Fame.

The contest will be televised via WebTV and may also be on Facebook Live through the Wabash County Fair Queen Pageant page.

Like many events this year, the contest will be slightly different due to the COVID19 pandemic.

“We are working under the social distancing guidelines and recommendations,” said Echard.

“As such we will limit the number of audience members to 350 to properly allow for social distancing in the Ford Theatre.

Each of the 10-year 4H members and contestants will receive tickets for the family members for entry.

There will be a limited number of seats available on a first come first serve basis.”

Also due to the virus, the 4-H Fair, where the newly crowned queen will reign has changed, but according to Echard the 2020 queen and her court will have the same duties as a normal year.

“Although the fair will look different under the show and go format for the animal shows, many of the responsibilities of

the Wabash County Fair Queen and Court members will be the same as they have in the past. As in the past they will be handing out ribbons and awards to 4-Hers in the livestock shows.

The queen will still serve as an ambassador for the Wabash County 4-H program and promote the 4-H program throughout the year.”

Due to the 2020 Indiana State Fair being cancelled, the 2020 Miss Indiana State Fair Queen, Claudia Duncan, will continue her reign through 2021.

Therefore, the 2021 Indiana State Fair Queen Pageant has also been cancelled.

The 2020 Wabash County Fair Queen will be given the opportunity to participate in the 2022 Indiana State Fair Queen Pageant.

4-H Fair to have a different look in 2020

By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com On Tuesday May 15, The Wabash County 4-H Fair Council received recommendations on how to continue with the 4-H fair while following the guidelines set by the CDC to slow the spread of COVID19.

Based on this information, Council members Jessi Huston and Jeff Michel released the following statement.

“Wabash County 4-H Council and our livestock superintendents met to take into consideration the requirements given to us. With careful consideration the 4-H Council has voted to continue planning and preparing for an in-person fair. We are still in discussion and the early planning stages of how we will proceed.

Please be patient with us as we continue to work through our plans.

“In order to be in compliance with the Purdue University’s 4-H Fair Exhibition Social Distancing Requirements and Considerations (attached), there will be changes to the daily show schedules, a move to a “show and go” format along with closed judging for non-livestock projects.

Please see the above link for more details.

Though there will be an “in person” fair, it will look very different and will be primarily focused on achieving the opportunity to provide 4-Her’s with an exhibition activity.

Our practices and procedures will seek to follow CDC guidance, Indiana’s Back on Track plan and Purdue University’s guidelines applied to fairs.”

This year’s fair will not have an auction, according to Huston.

“It is with much regret that we must inform you that the auction will not be taking place this year,” she said.

“Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the restrictions put in place and the struggling economy we continue to face, the 4-H council along with the auction committee have decided to cancel the premium auction this year.

We are still able to provide a packer for livestock projects, but with the show-and-go format, it is not logistically possible to have all the animals for the auction at the end of the week.”

Although the livestock shows this year are on a “show and go” schedule, the shows will be open to the public, any show watchers are encouraged to take social distancing measures.

One aspect of the fair is still on as it has been in the past is the outdoor arena event schedule. The KOI Drag Racing will be on Monday, July 13 at 7 p.m.; the Pro Stock Tractor and Truck Pull will take place on Wednesday July 15 at 7 p.m.; the Auto Cross race will be on July 17 at 7:30 p.m. and the Demolition

Derby will be on July 18 at 7:30 p.m.

Another aspect that will remain the same is that non-livestock projects will be on display for public viewing from Friday-Thursday of the fair in the Bob Elrod building.

Huston also provided The Paper of Wabash County with a schedule for the fair week.

The schedule is as follows: Sunday, July 5: 1 p.m. Fair set up (All 4H members attend), tent sign up, and livestock meeting

Monday, July 6: 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. non-livestock project drop-off 9 – 2 Mini 4-H Project drop-off Tuesday, July 7: 7:30 -8:30 a.m.Perishable Foods drop-off (Foods, Food Preservation, Consumer Meats, Make with a Mix and Microwave) Closed Non-livestock Judging Day 5:30 Consumer Clothing and Fashion Review Judging-Legacy Hall Honeywell 7:30 p.m. Public Fashion RevueLegacy Hall Honeywell Center Wednesday, July 8: 6 p.m.

THE PAPER

Urbana has a lot of history and I want to tell you about one particular part of Urbana. The location is small and it is on the southeast corner of Hill and SR 13.

The place that everyone is familiar with now is Your Parts Department.

Years ago this little part of town started out as a DX fueling station with a hotel/motel on top.

Max and Nancy Chamberlain were

URBANA

Urbana business to mark 4th anniversary

Michael Mich Michael ael Sn Snell ell 260-774-3665 pinkynova71@ hotmail.com

married in 1958.

When they returned from their honeymoon in Florida they

lived in the hotel/motel above the DX fueling station and ran it. The station was owned by Bob Aludeman for several years and he then sold it to Lowell and Virgie Schnepp.

They ran it for a few years and sold it to Phillip Stewert.

The station caught fire on the worst day ever. It was during the winter and the wind was blowing and snow flying and it was very hard to

control and put out the fire. Traffic was backed up because of the fire trucks on the highway. The fire took place in and around 1961. Max and Nancy had already moved and Phillip Stewert sold out to Tom Helvey shortly after the fire.

Tom rebuilt the station but without the hotel/motel. He later closed the station because of the regulations on the fuel tanks. Tom removed the tanks and pulled the pumps but left garage. The building stood empty for several years before he was able to rent building out to a furniture refinishing place and it lasted for about one year. Then there was a young fellow by the name of Dave McArry. He rented the building

from Tom. Dave did chainsaw carvings out of tree logs. I remember some of his carvings — bears, eagles and other small animals. This was pretty cool. He had different sizes of chainsaws, some for rough cut and some were smaller for fine detail. Dave also refinished copper and brass items and made them look like new.

Dave rented the building for a very short period of time and the property stood empty again for several months.

Dot Biehl purchased the property from Tom Helvey much later and opened a restaurant and called it Dot’s Corner. She ran it for a good long while and later Dot decided to lease the restaurant to Daisy Corn. Daisy

The DX Fueling Station when Tom Helvey rebuilt it after the fire. ran the restaurant for a long time until Daisy decided to move onto something else. Dot then leased it to Grandma Suzie.

She ran it for quite a while and later decided it was time to move on. Dot then leased to Nick Clem and the restaurant became Nick’s Café.

Nick operated the restaurant for several years then he felt it was time to move on as well and he went to Hoosier Point Truck Stop Diner. Dot Biehl passed away and the property came up for sale and Pam Woodall bought the property and made it Pam’s Cafe.

This took place in 1998. Pam ran the restaurant for 18 years and sold out to Dewayne Krom in July 2016 and the property became YPD - Your Parts Department auto parts store. This store will be four years old this July. Happy Birthday YPD from Urbana and Urbana news columnist.

Smithsonian Exhibit continues The Smithsonian Exhibit at the Center for History is open and ready to welcome you to the Center for History! We are thrilled to have been selected by Indiana Humanities to host a Smithsonian-curated traveling exhibit called “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” as part of the Museum on Main Street program.

The exhibition, which examines the evolving landscape of rural America, is on display in North Manchester at the Center for History from June 14 to July 17, 2020. Indiana Humanities is sponsoring the tour of this exhibit in conjunction with its new initiative—called INseparable.

Through a variety of programs, Indiana Humanities will encourage Hoosiers to explore how we relate to each other across urban, suburban and rural lines and spark conversations about our futures.

The Center for History has been a valuable community asset for preserving and exhibiting local history.

Officials strive to be the community’s storyteller, and North Manchester has been a focal point for rural changes—it really is a thriving small town. Residents of our community have lived through change. This will be an opportunity to share personal stories with younger generations and surrounding communities. Planning your visit. We have a large parking lot to the rear of our building (access from Market Street or Walnut Street) please feel free to use this convenient parking option. The Center for

History is working diligently at making sure our museum is safe and clean during your visit. Face masks are encouraged but are not required for our guests.

Manchester University is collaborating with Manchester Community Schools and the town of North Manchester to present the 2020 Independence Day Celebration and Fireworks Display on Saturday, July 4.

The free celebration kicks off at 9 p.m. with the Manchester Civic Band.

Families and individuals are encouraged to come early to find a spot, maintaining social distancing with those not in their own households, and have a great time. Lawn chairs or blankets will make viewing more comfortable.

become unusable to the twelve families who live between the two bridges and to the business? There is at least 10 people who are over 70 who live between the bridges. By not fixing the bridge #144 it has become a very unsafe for all of the community. The commissioners still did not make a decision on what to do except to say “it would cost too much to fix the bridge”.

The commissioners talk about “Economic Development”, if they would fix the bridge this would be an “Economic Development” for the Southern part of the county. We need everyone in the county to let the Wabash County Commissioners know your feelings on

repairing the #144 bridge before there is major disaster with it not being repaired.

Remember this is on 1050 S the direct road from LaFontaine to Somerset.

LaFontaine/Somerset residents have waited long enough for this bridge to be fixed. It is time that the Wabash County Commissioner’s stand and fix the #144 (bridge at Hogs Back) before something major happens to #143 on 1050 S. Remember this is a safety and health issue for everyone who would choose to use this road.
