Lawmakers to discuss INDOT plans

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com State Sen. Andy Zay and State Rep. Dave Wolkins will host a town hall meeting Saturday, Nov. 23, to discuss the Indiana Department of Transportation’s plans for the intersection of U.S. 24 and County Road 300 E. The meeting will be from 8 to 9 a.m. at the Honeywell Center’s Honeywell Room, 275 W. Market St. In March, INDOT hosted a public forum to discuss its plans to �essentially close the intersection and put

crossovers further down the road in both the eastbound and westbound lanes of traffic.

Under INDOT’s proposal, the existing intersection will be removed and a median U-turn would be installed. Under the plan, drivers approaching U.S. 24 from the south and wanting to turn west onto the highway would be forced to travel east a short distance and then make a U-turn through the median to head west.

The same holds true for those approaching U.S. 24 from the north and wanting to travel east on the highway.

Those traveling east on U.S. 24 and wanting to turn

north on the county road would have to do the same, as would those traveling west on 24 and wanting to turn south on CR 300 E. In September, INDOT officials informed the Lagro Town Board in a letter that it “will advance this project to the next phast of development with construction anticipated to take place in 2020.”

Changes at the intersection are needed, INDOT contends, to help improve safety at the site. Over the last five years, they noted, there has been 15 accidents at the (continued on page 5A)

Holiday season arrives:

The Christmas season officially arrived in Wabash on Friday night, Nov. 15, as the Downtown Holiday Night to Remember took place. A young girl (top photo) was all smiles after Mrs. Claus informed Santa she was on the good girls’ list. Santa arrived downtown on a firetruck (bottom left) during the lighting of the Wabash County Courthouse. Meanwhile, even the Grincch (right photo) was getting into the spirit, stopping in various places around downtown.

Sharp Creek Elementary 5th grade students are preparing to be adults for a day at Junior Achievement’s “BizTown.”

On Friday, Nov. 15, students interviewed with five members of the community for jobs that they have applied to work at during their trip to “BizTown” in Fort Wayne.

Interviewers were Brett Wynn from Original Promotions, Joanne Case from Wabash County Promise, Teresa Galley from The Honeywell Foundation, Metropolitan School District of Wabash County Curriculum Director Tim Drake, and MSD of Wabash superintendent, Mike Keaffaber.

“BizTown” is a simulated city where elementary students go to participate in an adult economy and see what it is like to have a job, pay bills, shop, write checks, and more.

Fifth grader Zoey Music spoke with The Paper of Wabash County while she awaited her turn to interview.

“I’m trying to be a DJ or a personal trainer. I am mostly hoping I get to be the DJ because I love music. I would actually get to speak into a speaker like a normal radio person would do, and we all get to adults for a day.”

Students have the opportunity to interview for many jobs including a banker, travel agent, hair stylist, construction worker, CEO, and jobs in the STEM field. (continued on page 2A)

County per capita income up in ‘18 Wabash County’s per capita personal income for 2018 experienced an increase of 5.89 percent over the prior year, according to

data released by The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).

This growth equated to an increase of plus or

minus $2,438 in per capita personal income per capita, thwarting the regional and national growth averages for 2018. Per capita

personal income is calculated as the total income received in our community (Wabash County) divided by the total population.

Grow Wabash County and other economic development organizations, including the Northeast Indiana R e g i o n a l Partnership use per capita personal income as tool to measure economic growth.

Per BEA data provided by the Northeast Indiana R e g i o n a l Partnership in a news release, the 11county northeast region of Indiana saw an average growth of 4.73 percent per capita between 2017 and 2018, which amounts to an approximate

increase of $2,021 in personal income per capita.

Although this growth percentage is an improvement over the 3.38 percent increase for 2016-2017, the region’s average still appears to lag behind the national average of 4.94 percent growth per capita.

“Wabash County boasts the secondlargest growth per capita in northeast Indiana,” said Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, President & CEO of Grow Wabash County. “Our year over year growth surpassed both the state and national average. This is a testament to our all of our partners here – employers who are raising wages and reinvesting into their businesses, employees who are upskilling themselves to transition into higher wage jobs, government partners who support the new investment through incentives, and of course all of our other economic development partners who make Wabash County a great place to be.”

Interviews

...continued from Page 1A On Dec. 11, when the fifth graders go to “BizTown,” students not only get to hold a job for a day, but they do other things that professional adults do.

“Students get to interview for the job that they want, and then we also have a mayor election,” said

Amber Bretzman, a fifth-grade teacher at Sharp Creek.

“When we go on the day of our field trip, the kids run the town.

They have checkbooks and debit cards and they will have a full economy and pay off loans, and pretty much do everything that adults do.”

Donations will be accepted.

Wabash High School hosted its sixth annual College and Career Fair on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

The high school gym was filled with more than 48 colleges, businesses, and representatives from other post high school career options.

The purpose of the fair was to allow WHS students, along with students from surrounding school corporations to gather tools and information needed to successfully make decisions pertaining to their lives after graduation.

WHS vice principal Jeffery Galley discussed with The Paper of Wabash County about how the College and Career Fair came to be.

“We were looking for a way to get our kids exposed to different colleges, universities, jobs, and other things that are out there for them,” he said. “We would have to take kids to Fort Wayne, or further and there was just nothing around here, so we started talking to the some of the universities that would visit to talk to some of our kids and in the long run, they were saying ‘It would be great for you guys to host your own fair.’”

All kinds of postgraduation opportunities were represented at the fair includ-

Wabash Carnegie Public Library hosted visiting author Kayleen Reusser on Wednesday, Nov. 6.

Reusser has been writing for almost two decades. She started out writing articles for many magazines, newspapers, blogs and books including “Chicken Soup for the Soul.”

Beginning in 2009, Reusser began writing non-fiction children’s books, 16 in total.

She said she tries to “capture military history one veteran at a time,” by interviewing and writing the stories of more than 200 World War II veterans.

During her visit to WPL, Reusser shared some of those stories from her books: “World War II Legacies: Stories of Northeast Indiana Veterans” and “They Did It for Honor: Stories of American WWII Veterans.”

Wabash Steel Supply to host grand opening

Officials from Grow Wabash County hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 6 for Wabash Steel Supply’s new store.

The official grand opening for the retail store will take place on Thursday, Nov. 21, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at its new location, 1945 S. Wabash St. The event will include free breakfast and lunch as well as more than $3,000 worth of merchandise and gift certificates expected to be given away throughout the day.

It has the ability to fulfill a wide variety of needs when it comes to servicing Wabash and the surrounding areas with steel and industrial supplies. We cater to the do-it-yourselfer all the way up to large corporations. If you need it, we can get it,” said Ben Gebhart, owner of Wabash Steel Supply.

Wabash Steel Supply has been in business since 2015 and offers a wide and comprehensive selection of steel and industrial supplies to its customers.

“We are thrilled to see Wabash Steel Supply open up their

new store on the south side of Wabash,” said Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County.

“As a customer of the business, I know they fulfill a need in

the community and that there isn’t any problem they can’t help you with.

Congrats and a huge thank you to Ben and his team for continuing to invest and grow in Wabash County.”

The decision to move forward comes about even though all of those who spoke at the March were against the plan.

Lagro firefighters are concerned that the change will increase the time it takes to respond to fires on the north side of U.S. 24.

There also were concerns that semitractor and trailers needing to go north or south on CR 300 E would have trouble negotiating the Uturns, and could create more danger in doing so than the intersection now has.

During that meeting, the two lawmakers encouraged the public to contact INDOT with their concerns about the change.

“When you have a whole room speaking in opposition, as a representative … it’s clear that the people have spoken,” Zay

said after the meeting.

Wolkins said of the public input, “It’s huge. I think it will have a big impact.”

Many of those at the meeting told lawmakers that they

believe it’s inattentiveness by drivers that caused the accidents, and that more needs to be done to warn drivers of the upcoming intersection.

Habitat dedicates house ROANN — Wabash County Habitat for Humanity has welcomed a new family to its program.

Steven Lycan and his children received the keys from Habitat board member Dan Early.

money.

The Dedication Ceremony was held on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 17.

Through the hard work of volunteers and the generosity of community donors, Wabash County Habitat for Humanity completed a full renovation of a three bedroom home for Lycanand his family.

Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller in

Americus, Ga., Habitat’s model is to build and sell nonprofit houses, creating a revolving loan fund to build the next house, and the next, and so on. Based on Christian principles, the mission, as it is today, is to build affordable and decent houses for neighbors in need.

Sheriff’s Dept. to participate in seat belt program The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department will be conducting overtime patrols during the holidays due to a traffic safety improvement grant from the National High\way Traffic S a f e t y Administration.

The funds, distributed by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, are part of the state’s “Click It to Live It” program which works to promote seat belt usage and reduce impaired driving in an effort to prevent traffic injuries and fatal crashes in Indiana.

“The simple fact is, no matter who you are or what you drive, wearing your seat belt is one of the best ways to keep you and your family safe on the road,” said Robert Duckworth, Director of Traffic Safety.

“That’s why we’re asking all motorists to ‘click it to live it’ this holiday season – it’s your life. Don’t wait to get pulled over.”

Millions of Americans will travel

our nation’s highways during the holidays to visit family and friends. With more vehicles on the road, the chances of being involved in a crash increase greatly.

According to the most recent data available, 53 percent of passengers killed in fatal crashes were not wearing seat belts and 63.5 percent of speeding related fatalities were unrestrained.

To combat this and save lives, Indiana police agencies will continue to enforce seat belt, speeding, and other traffic laws, especially during the holiday season.

“Why do we enforce traffic laws? To prevent the crashes, injuries, and deaths that hurt our community,” said Sgt. Dan Johnson. “The holidays are all about spending time with family and friends, so don’t miss out on what makes this time of year so great.

Buckle up – every seat, every time – and use a sober driver.”

Salamonie to host gift making seminar

Three children of the Eads family in the barn yard around 1948 with a group of turkeys. Tom, 6, is in the foreground. Peggy (Eads) Dilling, 8, is standing on what appears to be a protective covering for the turkeys and in front is Ron, 4.Their mother would raise turkeys for her family and also butcher some and sell the fresh turkey to the public.

URBANA

Hanging of the greens planned Urbana Yoke Parish hosted an event on Sunday, Nov. 10, called Brethren Way of Christ Fall Ultrea.

This inspirational event took place right after worship services. Some 85 plus people attended. This was a very special day and everyone enjoyed the fellowship, inspirational songs and the food that was prepared by church members. Also, don’t forget the Hanging of the Greens will be held on Sunday, Nov. 24 following worship service.

Everyone is invited to stay and help get the church ready for Christmas season.

From Pastor Larry Wade’s Desk: Mercy, what a perfect year 2019 has been so far, right? Everything has gone the churches way, no sickness, no personal or financial struggles, no emotional upheavals, no sudden emergencies just picture perfect.

Except that isn’t exactly correct. The church members have seen a lot this year.

Terrible weather for the farmers. We have had folks with cancer, malfunctioning hearts, all kinds of accidents. Folks with illnesses that required hospitalization. We have had deaths. Even one of our members was shot. We have had the emotional joys of

3B

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

weddings and the wonderful joy of birth. We have had the emotional low of walking out of a grand old church (St. Peters) for the last time and watching in emotional misery as it came down slowly.

We have had emotional excitement of moving into a newly renovated facility. We have said goodbye to old friends and welcomed new. When 2019 rolls into the books it will be filed away in our memories as a wild roller coaster ride of a year. Churches have years like this. This church has had such years in the past.

Different issues, but weighty things that needed to be overcome. Roller coaster years are not what defines a church.

What does, is how the congregation handles those issues and how they rise above those when they encounter them. I still cannot say how this year will

end or how or what the next year will bring. But I do know this; here in this church are people of God. Not perfect, but striving. Moving forward, shouldering the burden the lord puts on their backs. We are not where we need to be, but getting there.

My experience tells me that the Urbana Yoke Parish Church is headed in the right direction.

Condolences from Urbana residents to the Gaston family.

Orma Gaston, 85, was a longtime Urbana resident and passed away Monday Nov. 4, 2019, at Autumn Ridge Rehabilitation Center in Wabash.

Wildcat Pride Winners: Ethan Hoover was caught by Mr. Snyder for showing great care and sportsmanship during a kickball game at recess. Kendra Rife was caught by Mrs. Bretzman for following directions and doing what was asked.

Remember, Dream Big & Work Hard.

Breakfast Bunch: On Nov. 13, The bunch met at Bob Evan’s Restaurant.

This takes place every Wednesday at 7:30 a.m..

breakfast and while they are eating they discuss various subjects. Those attending were Peggy Dilling, Nancy Meyer and Tom Willcox. Harsh weather cut down the attendance this time.

Birthday Wishes: Nov. 21 Tonya Brunett, Nov. 22 Esther Terrell, Nov. 24 Jolene Baer, Nov. 25 Ethan Hoover.

Prayer Concerns: Mary Ann Hunsucker is at Vernon Health & Rehab and has been for the past several months.

The Living Gift Market has raised over $550,000 in North Manchester since 1987. The goal of every Heifer project is to help families achieve self-reliance.

Heifer International does this by providing the tools they need to sustain themselves.

With the gift of an animal a family’s income is increased.

For example, a heifer provides milk for these families and the extra can be sold.

Farmers learn croplivestock integration methods to increase food production. So these families can feed themselves and ensure their financial security.

Heifer International will connect small farmers to markets and help them participate in cooperatives.

Heifer also helps farmers secure loans so they can expand their business. So stop by Saturday to see what this is all about.

The health benefits crammed into cranberries make them worth crossing your plate in more than just sauce on Thanksgiving!

Food stylist and photographer: Laura Kurella

Berry Good!

For the longest time, I was like most others in that cranberries would cross my plate only on Thanksgiving and, only if turkey was being served.

In fact, in my younger years, I don’t ever recall eating a single bite of turkey without an equal portion of cranberry sauce in tandem!

What’s interesting is, as much as I liked it, I never gave a thought to eating cranberries any other way – or any other time - until I grew up and discovered how healthful they are!

Cranberries are ranked at the top of the list for high nutrients and antioxidants, earning them the "super food" moniker.

Offering a low, 25 calories in a half-cup serving, cranberries also lower our risk for urinary tract infections because of their high levels of proanthocyanidins, which prevents bacteria from clinging to the walls of the urinary tract, preventing infections from developing.

According to researchers at the Center for Oral Biology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, proanthocyanidins may also prevent bacteria from clinging to teeth and help prevent gum disease, as well.

Research shows that cranberries are also beneficial in slowing tumor progression and have positive effects against prostate, liver, breast, ovarian, and colon cancers, too.

Some evidence suggests that the polyphenols in cranberries also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by preventing platelet build-up and reducing blood pressure via anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

Cranberries are also loaded with vitamin C, vitamin E and fiber, which round it out into being a berry that simply cannot be beat!

Since only about 10% of the current cranberry crop is sold fresh, and available only from roughly September to December, if you want the freshest berries, you have to buy some now!

When selecting, look for berries that are firm and unwrinkled.

Once home, fresh cranberries can be refrigerated for up to two months, or frozen for up to a year simply by placing them in an airtight container and popping it into the freezer!

Cranberries can also be purchased dried, canned or juiced.

However, some have added sugars, which can irritate the urinary tract, and other body systems, which may cancel out cranberry’s healthy benefits.

Adding some super, health-filled food to your holiday feast is a great way to make your whole family more merry.

Here now are some delicious ways to create some different dishes adorned with this ohso-beneficial berry – Enjoy and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

THE PAPER

November 20, 2019

Exotic pet law needs stregthening Dear Editor: The tragic death of a young mother from a python in Oxford did not have to happen. Giant constrictor snakes have killed before, including in Indiana. They should have been banned in 2006 after a 23-year-old Lanesville man was killed by his 14-foot reticulated python.

This incident raises

so many concerns.

The snake was loose in the home and first responders could have been attacked.

After killing the woman, the snake could have escaped into the neighborhood and posed a danger to the community’s children and pets. What dangers are posed by the other 140 snakes in this home in what

appears to be a residential neighborhood? Is it even humane to keep so many snakes in what must be incredibly crowded conditions?

I hope Indiana legislators will give serious consideration to strengthening the state law concerning dangerous exotic pets.

– Whitney Myers, Wabash

Family appreciates support it received Dear Editor: We would like to
