Local family works to help find cure for cystic fibrosis By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Rock climbing competition brings students together By David Brinson news@thepaperofwabash.com Last weekend, Southwood High School utilized its new rock wall and hosted the first Unger Mountain Climbing Competition for students across Wabash and Huntington counties. The smack talk and seriousness usually seen at sporting matchups between rival schools was nowhere to be found Saturday. Instead, the students laughed, shook hands and yelled up tips to one another, like when a foothold was right there, just out of the climber’s eyesight. “We’re competing, but it doesn’t feel like it,” Jabin Burnworth, a Manchester High School teacher and chaperone, said. “Everyone is having fun. Everyone is cheering each other on. It’s great.” Twenty-three students of all ages came out to scale the 46foot-high outdoor climbing wall known as Unger Mountain. There were representatives from Southwood, Northfield, Wabash, Manchester and Huntington North. All Saturday morning, students were zooming up the four paths, before floating back down to the ground on the new auto-belay system, only to rush back up again when their name was

called. The big winner of the day was Southwood seventh-grader, Micah Smith. He was the fastest climber on both the flat (beginner) and chimney (advanced) side of the wall. Elijah Burlingame, a Manchester sophomore, was the last man standing in the single elimination speed climb. Top winners received a first-place ribbon and an Unger Mountain T-shirt. Those who made it to the top included boys, girls, basketball players, football players, wrestlers, cheerleaders and those who played no other sports. There were no requirements, except two signed waivers. Some of the participants were trying it for the first time, while others competed for the top spots. “I think it’s cool because we have a chance to compete with different schools,” Brayden Smith, a Southwood freshman, said. Smith owned the fastest time on the hardest route with a 2 minutes and 11 seconds time. Tyler Meredith, a Manchester freshman, said he enjoyed getting to compete, while meeting some new people. Faith Macy, a Northfield senior, didn’t get to the top on her first climb of the day, but conquered the wall several times before the competi(continued on page 7)

Like any set of parents, Heather and Jarrod McKee like to hear others compliment their three children. When it comes to their middle son, Carson, they especially like to hear one thing – “You would never know.” Carson was born in November 2013. He was just two weeks old that the family learned he had cystic fibrosis (CF). “I went in for his one-week height and weight check, and they said his newborn screen came back abnormal,” Heather said. “So then a couple days after that we were mailed a package in the mail that said he had cystic fibrosis, even though we were still under the impression that maybe he was just a carrier. “At two weeks, we went to Fort Wayne and they did a sweat test to confirm that he had cystic fibrosis.” CF causes thick mucus to build up in the lungs which, over time, leads to sinus issues,

difficult food digestion and could eventually cause permanent lung damage due to constant infections. The diagnosis caught the family by surprise, as there was no previous family history of CF. “Heather and I are both carriers, and we had no idea,” Jarrod said. According to statistics, children born to two CF carriers have a 25 percent chance of having the disease. There is a 50 percent chance the child could be a carrier but not have the disease, and there is a 25 percent chance the child will neither be a carrier nor have the disease. “We’ve hit all those benchmarks with all three kids,” Jarrod said. Camden, the couple’s oldest, is not a carrier. Collins, their youngest, is a carrier, but doesn’t have CF. The last five years has been a learning process for the entire family. “It’s a completely new normal for our family at this point in time,” Jarrod said. “Our daily (continued on page 6)

The MSD of Wabash County puts its robotics students on display at Tuesday night’s school board meeting, celebrating the accomplishments of its Southwood robotics teams, which recently competed in the VEX world championships in Louisville, Ky. “It’s a lot of pride,” S o u t h w o o d

Elementary Principal Phil Boone said after the presentation. “Knowing how hard the coaches worked to prepare the students, and in turn see the students get excited about what they’re doing, the teamwork and support – just very excited to be a S o u t h w o o d Elementary person.” Boone said the excitement for robotics at Southwood starts with the coaches, Megan Hyden and

Erica Tyson. “We talk a lot in staff meetings about modeling what we want from kids,” Boone said. “That enthusiasm is contagious. They really have just taken this robotics bull by the horns and have gotten excited about it themselves. They spend a lot of time on it, and that has trickled down to the kids. That’s a testament to our coaches.” Tyson said it was an amazing experience to coach the students. “They are the most dedicated group of kids I have ever met,” she said. “They come in during lunch and recess, they are in after school, before school, on the weekends. They’re warriors for us. Hyden added, “They eat and sleep robot, and they teach us a lot throughout the year as well. “I just hope they learned a lot about themselves,” Hyden added. “And they become better kids, whether emotionally,

confidence-wise, I just want this to help them become a well-rounded person overall, and to be somebody they can be a great friend to because of our program.” Tyson said an important lesson learned was to measure the robots. They went to state with a robot that was too large. “But, the one thing the kids learned through that was perseverance,” Tyson said. “We went through out measuring three and four times, taking things off of robots and modifying parts on the fly. As a coach, that happens, and we just learn to go with the flow with things. Not every competition is going to be perfect, but we have amazing kids that will persevere just fine. And they did great, they qualified for worlds.” Team member Grace Drake took second place in the Girl Power competition, a competition where girls presented what it meant to them to be

a female member of a team. “She’s been one that we have built over the last few years,” Hyden said. “We’ve seen her build as a person as well. She is someone the kids can all look up to. She’s a great leader, and by doing this project, she showed a lot of our girls that it’s important to persevere and to do their best. She’s just always someone to look up to. We’re going to miss her a lot. More than what we can express, because she’s a wellrounded individual and a great teammate.” Southwood robotics was broken up into red and gray teams. The red team finished 60th out of 82 in its division, scoring an average of 23.75 points. In the skills portion, the red team finished 252 out of 384. The gray team finished 55th out of 82 in its division, scoring an average of 25 points. In their skills division, they finished 267 out of 384.

60-plus attend Town Hall meeting By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com More than 60 people were on hand Thursday night for Mayor Scott Long’s second Town Hall Meeting. The quarterly event takes place in the Wabash County Historical Museum. Long touched on several topics, including construction work on Alber and Wabash streets. “There is light at the end of the tunnel,” he said. The first phase of the Alber Street project should be done in late June. That phase extends from Euclid Street to John Kissinger Drive. The second phase, which is from John Kissinger Drive to U.S. 24, will begin immediately after that but, Long said, shouldn’t take too long to complete. “They should start pouring concrete for curbs and sidewalks next week, so that’s good news,” he said. Work along Wabash Street,

he said, should be finished by the end of July or early August. “They should be in next week pouring the other half driveways on the west side of the street,” he said. “Then pouring the sidewalks. Then they’ll start ripping the road up and repaving that.” The base for the city’s gateway sign near the Wabash Street bridge is nearly complete. Long also said that a Patronicity campaign will begin shortly to install an exercise pad near the Wabash River Walk, allowing residents to complete an exercise regimen in seven minutes. “Not everyone can afford top pay for a gym membership, or membership at the Y, so this will be an opportunity for exercise to the River Walk,” he said. To make room for the exercise pad, a limestone wall and pillars on the west side of Wabash Street will be removed. Long said he received the blessing of the Ford family to remove it. He

sought their blessing, as Richard Ford donated the land and limestone structures to the city. “So don’t panic when you see that limestone wall coming down,” he said, “and those pillars on that side coming down. We will do our best to stave that stone and reutilize it, repurpose it somewhere else.” Long announced he will leave Saturday to attend the largest retail and restaurant convention in the United States. He’s already got meeting set up with national companies that want to look at what the city has to offer to locate in Wabash. “It’s another case of not waiting for someone to knock on our door, but taking the door to them and presenting them, ‘Here’s what Wabash is. Here’s the plan we have available.’ And try to lure them in,” he said. “The thing about these trips we’re taking, sometime there’s not immediate benefits, especially with foreign countries – you kind of (continued on page 4)

Cottage Watchman will upgrade the fire protection system at Wabash City Hall. The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety on Thursday, May 16, approved the Pierceton company’s bid of $27,275 to upgrade the building’s fire alarm system. In March, Building Commissioner Jim Straws told the board that the city’s insurance company recommended the city install a fire alarm and smoke detectors in the building. In addition to Cottage Watchman, Koorsen Fire & Security also submitted a $28,000 bid to install the system and detectors on all three floors of City Hall. Straws told the board Thursday that two other companies toured the building but did not submit bids for the project. “They’re so close in price,” he told the board, noting the only difference he noted is that Koorsen didn’t include free monthly monitoring, which Cottage Watchman did. “Eventually we’re going to have to pay a monthly monitoring fee because they’re not going to give it away forever,” he added. Some of the firms who inspected the building, Straws said,

thought it would take too much time to drill through concrete walls to install the system. “I think that scared a couple of them off,” he said. “I think Cottage Watchman understands what needs to be done, and so does Koorsen, but of the two my recommendation would be for Cottage Watchman.” In another matter, the board approved a $730,680.19 bid from Phend & Brown, Milford, to build a bridge across a creek along Ringel Avenue in the city’s Northeast Business Park. One other firm, J.D. Company Inc., Muncie, bid $809,000 for the project. Mayor Scott Long said the civil engineering firm of Butler Fairman &

Seufert recommended Phend & Brown for the work. In other matters, the board: Approved closing Miami Street the mornings of Aug. 17 and Aug. 19 so Wabash Marketplace Inc. could have its weekly farmer’s market there. Approved closing Miami Street on the first Friday of June, July, August, September and October for the monthly First Friday celebration. Granted permission to the Wabash Fire Department to advertise for bids for work on the interior of the department’s new training building. Extended for 90 days an order to clean up 20 W.

got to get to know each other before they’re willing to invest – but I think eventually in the next couple of years we’ll see some investment.” Switching gears, Long noted that along with Clerk-Treasurer Wendy Frazier, department heads and the Wabash City Council, worked to decrease the city’s tax rate, dropping it by roughly 6 cents per $100 assessed valuation. Likewise, the Wabash City Schools Corp. decreased its tax rate by nearly 20 cents. “So when your tax bills came out, lo and behold, the county assessor jacked all the

assessments up, so all that savings we created disappeared,” he said. “And, oh, by the way, the other taxing entities captured some of that savings we created.” The overall tax rate for the county went down, he said, but the assessments “killed that.” He reminded that the city doesn’t control what the county does in terms of tax rates. Christine Flohr, Executive Director of Tourism for Visit Wabash County, was Long’s guest speaker for the night. Growth is everywhere in the City of Wabash, she said, noting that local busi-

nesses have their local clientele needed to maintain growth. But they also depend on visitors. “We want our local businesses to continue to grow and thrive,” she said. “But we recognize the role that tourism plays in supporting those businesses.” They may stop at a local shop, Flohr said, and that may help convince them to move their family here or to open a new business here. “Perhaps buy a loft in the Rock City Lofts,” she said. “We have people who chose to come and visit when they’re driving through and they’re seeing all the great things happening in the community. “They’ll come into the Welcome Center and ask us, ‘How are you accomplishing this? I come from a small town and it’s tumble weeds and the local organizations are fighting for power with one another.’ “The biggest thing I can tell you that differentiates us, is we’ve learned to work together even if we don’t agree. That’s normal. That’s how great ideas are grown, because we choose to collaborate.” She also discussed the success tourism has had in Wabash County in recent

years, as well as some of the work being done around the city, such as the Hometown Hero banners and the bison statues that were placed around the city. The statues were a gift from the Town of North Manchester. “Everything she talked about is vitally important to our community,” Long said after Flohr’s presentation. “It’s the reason Wabash is talked about throughout the State of Indiana. If you don’t believe it, go to some city south of Indianapolis and tell them you’re from Wabash. I guarantee they’ll be like, ‘Wabash. Really? What are you guys doing now?” Everyone from around the state wants to steal Wabash’s ideas, he said. “I’m all for it,” he said. “If we’re successful, and the Northeast Indiana region is successful, that makes our state successful. We’re head and shoulders, in our region, above every other region in the state right now.” One key reason for the success, he said, is communication among elected officials, something other regions don’t do. “Our point is, how do you not sit down across the table from each other, as elected officials, and discuss the issues that your county, or your city, is facing?” he said. “We are on the map, believe it or not.” The pair took a variety of questions and suggestions from those in attendance, ranging from the cost of library cards for county residents to having block parties around the city to help neighbors get to know one another better. The next quarterly Town Hall meeting is scheduled for Aug. 15.

Raising awareness down those fats properly, so he has to take those before he eats anything with fat,” Jarrod said. Heather noted that the family had to make sure they had apple sauce to mix the enzymes in, making it easier to swallow. “You would think that every restaurant carries apple sauce, but they don’t,” Jarrod joked. “Then you have to think of other things to mix it

with, or swallow real quick with a drink. It’s not so pleasant at times for him.” There also are daily things Carson must do. “We have to take a drug – he’s on a trial right now – so we have to make sure he has that in the morning and in the evening with his meals,” Jarrod said. “And then in the morning and evening, he also has to do a 30 minute

...continued from Page 1 vest therapy.” The vest vibrates Carson’s chest and helps break up mucus in his lungs, making it easier to rid it from the body. In spite of it all, Carson takes it in stride. “This is all he’s ever known,” Jarrod said. “One of his buddies, Paxton Wright, was diagnosed with leukemia. They had a normal childhood until this diagnosis came along, and that is a big impact. “For us, though, and for Carson, he doesn’t know any different than waking up and going straight to his vest and doing that treatment first thing, and to close the night down the same thing. It’s nothing different for him.

“We’re very loud with our story about being a family living with cystic fibrosis,” Jarrod said. “We feel it’s very important to share our story and to bring awareness to the disease, but also to help other families.” Carson is currently in Pre-K at the Wesley Academy. “He’s not seen as different from anyone else,” Heather said. “He’s the one whose taken everyone else in and to make sure they’re included.” The McKee family have been major advocates for the fight against CF and for CF awareness. “From day one I was pretty adamant that we were going to not let this define who we were,” Jarrod said. “Through Carson’s

ability, whether it be academically, socially, athletically, how people view him and CF, I think, is super important.” The family has a non-profit organization, 2 Lungs, 1 Fight, to help provide needed supplies – such as backpacks, apple sauce and other items – to families of CF patients. As Carson has gotten older, the family has gotten more and more involved. They have traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with leaders to stress the importance of having insurance cover rare diseases like Carson’s. “Our biggest fear is lifetime caps, preexisting conditions, and how that could affect his outlook, with having these drugs accessible,” Jarrod said, noting Carson’s medication could cost as much as $250,000. The family is associated with Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a Boston-based company which is where Carson’s drugs come from. Carson has been on a drug trial for the company for two years, and the family traveled to Boston when the Food & Drug Administration approved the drug. “They have a ceremonial ringing of the bell – it’s purple with a gold bell – and every time a drug gets approved, they invite a family who is on the

drug to come out and ring the bell,” Jarrod said. “There haven’t been many times the bell has been rung, unfortunately, but it is one we expect to get hammered in the next 10 to 20 years.” May is National Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month, and to help raise money to fight the disease, the family will host a benefit on Friday, May 24, in the Crossroads Bank parking lot, 1205 Cass St., in Wabash. The meal will begin at 11 a.m. and continue until the food is gone. Jarrod and Ryan Baker will be up all night smoking 50 pork butts to make pulled pork sandwiches. The meal also will include chips, a cookie and possibly a drink of some sort. The cost of the meal is a minimum $5 donation, and the benefit raises between $3,000 and $5,000. “As the community of Wabash continues to have big hearts, as they always have, and continue to support Carson and our mission,” Jarrod said, “a lot of people walk up and give five dollars. But there’s a lot of other people who give more and are very generous.” When it’s all said and done, the family tries to ensure that Carson has as normal a childhood as possible. “It’s nothing that’s going to limit him,” Jarrod said. “You look at him and, yes, it affects the lungs. But the best therapy for Carson is not the machine, it’s getting out and being active. He’s on the trampoline all the time. “We joke around that that’s providing more vibration than anything. Or maybe, a punch from his big brother. It’s good therapy. Every time he gets into something, we always hear, ‘You’d never know.’” Heather quickly adds, “And that’s the best thing for him.”

Climbing tion was over. “It’s a really incredible opportunity,” Macy said. “I’m really grateful for it. A lot of students should take advantage of this.” Natalie and Sean Unger built the wall on their own property in 2016, naming it “Unger Mountain.” After its construction, they faced pushback from both neighbors and the county planning commission. It became clear that the wall would have to either be torn down or moved. Sean is a Southwood graduate. Natalie teaches fifth grade at Southwood

Elementary. Both their young sons, James and Cale, attend the elementary school as well. Southwood High School became the obvious fit, and the structure was officially donated and constructed on the school’s property in July 2018. While the path to this competition was more difficult than expected, requiring both perseverance and strength, the smiles of the students standing at the top made the Ungers’ long, personal climb feel well worth it. “There’s been some

frustrations for Natalie and me,” Sean said. “There were days it would have been easier just to take it down and not put it back up, but we had a vision of a home for the wall, and we knew what it could do, because we’d seen what it could do for people when they’d been on it.” A l t h o u g h Metropolitan School District now owns the wall, the name, Unger Mountain, remains. The couple also volunteered and ran the event. For the Ungers, climbing is a family affair. Natalie and Sean, both trained and certified, coached from the ground: helping students with their harnesses, making sure everyone is being safe and shouting words of encouragement to struggling climbers. James and Cale waited patiently until the event was over so they could have their turn. Sean’s mother, Deeana Unger, stood off to the side, helping when she could. She has also climbed the wall, but only enough times to be legally certified, so she could be there for events like this. “Oh, it’s scary for me,” Deeana said, laughing. “But I thought if I’m ever going to do it, it’s

Participants in the inaugural climb at Unger Mountain pose in front of the structure. Photos by David Brinson going to be now. And I’m glad I did.” Sean hopes to turn the competition into an annual tradition. He wants to make sure he is never interfering or taking away from other sports but wants to continue

raising the community to new heights, getting even more students and schools involved in the future. “It’s days like this that make it worthwhile, especially when it’s the first time some kid gets up

there. They got their friends cheering them on. It’s a positive thing,” Sean said. “I think the future is bright for it. I think it’s going to be more than just the school, and that’s what it needs to be,” he said.

“It would be my ultimate goal that anyone who wants to try this, as long as they sign the waiver and their health checks out, that they be able to come out here and experience it for themselves.”

An ongoing look at Wabash County 4-H 10-year members

4-H Grows...

Carson Kelley School: Southwood Parents: Gabe & Stacey Kelley Future Plans: Working in the construction field 4-H Club: Lucky Horseshoes Favorite 4-H Projects: Goats and Photography 4-H Grows Self-Discipline: Putting in the work to get 4-H projects completed requires a great deal of self-discipline, a skill that Carson believes has been instrumental to his growth during his time in 4-H. Carson admits that though there were times he didn’t want to take pictures for his photography projects or spend time working with his animal, he took the pictures and worked with his animal anyway because he knew that it needed to be done for his projects to succeed. The self-discipline Carson developed through his participation in Wabash County 4-H will help prepare him for the next step after graduation. Reflecting back on his time in 4-H, Carson says that “creating strong bonds with new people” is one of his favorite memories. “4-H has honestly made me a better person overall. It was just a great experience and I think more people should get involved.”

Cole Rosen School: Northfield Parents: Aaron & Amy Rosen Future Plans: Attend Huntington University to study Agribusiness: Crop Production 4-H Club: Speedy Clovers Favorite 4-H Projects: Sheep 4-H Grows Time Management: “4-H is a huge reason why I learned how to manage my time so well,” Cole says as he explains the importance of time management during his ten years of 4-H. During the school year, Cole says he needed to manage his time between school, sports, and taking care of his animals. During the summer, Cole had to manage his time between friends, family, work, and 4H. For Cole, time management “included late nights and early mornings in the barns tending to my animals.” One of Cole’s time management strategies involved working with others, such as family or friends, to take care of his animals and prepare them for the fair. Some of Cole’s favorite 4-H memories include winning Round Robin and spending time with friends. The time management skills Cole developed in 4-H will serve him well in the fall when he begins his studies at Hunting-

Cara Blocher School: Manchester Parents: Lynn & Wendy Blocher Future Plans: Working in a daycare or preschool 4-H Club: Poultry Club Favorite 4-H Projects: Foods and Microwave 4-H Grows Record Keeping: Cara developed her record keeping skills by serving as the secretary for her 4-H club. As the club secretary, Cara was responsible for recording the proceedings of every club meeting. Cara says that developing record keeping skills was also important for the success of her 4-H projects, such as cattle and foods. For her cattle project, Cara used her record keeping skills to keep track of how much money she spent on purchasing, feeding, and maintaining her animals. Cara explains how record keeping also helped her with her foods projects: “I also kept records for my cooking projects. I would make a recipe and then make notes about what didn’t work so I knew how to do it differently next time I made it.” Cara believes that her record keeping skills will be an asset after graduation as she pursues a job working in a daycare or preschool.

ISP Peru team wins firearms contest From the ISP PLAINFIELD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A four member team which represented the Indiana State Police Peru Post bested all teams in the annual handgun target shooting competition, with an overall team score of 1,855. The troopers who represented the Indiana State Police Peru Post were: Master Trooper Don White, a 22 year veteran of the Indiana State Police. Senior Trooper Ezariah Bricknell, a 14 year veteran of the Indiana State Police. Senior Trooper Mike Meiser, a 13 year veteran of the Indiana State Police.

Trooper Steven Glass, a five year veteran of the Indiana State Police. Since 1946 the Indiana State Police has had a firearms match in which state police officers try to outscore each other in a handgun target shooting competition. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest was at the Indiana Law E n fo rc e m e n t Academy in Plainfield. The competition consisted of 16 four-person teams from each of the Indiana State Police Posts, the Indiana State Police General Headquarters, and officers from the Indiana State Police Capitol Police Section. The competition

consists of three courses of fire utilizing a bulls-eye target at 25 yards. The shooters stand and shoot their issued 45 caliber Sig Sauer semiautomatic handguns one handed, unsupported. The first course of fire is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;slow fireâ&#x20AC;? course of 10 rounds in five minutes. The second course of fire is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;timed fireâ&#x20AC;? course consisting of two strings of five rounds in 20 seconds. The final course of fire is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;rapid fireâ&#x20AC;? course which consists of two strings of five rounds in 10 seconds, each for a total of 30 rounds. All competitors shoot the course twice. The Indiana State

Police Peru Post had two troopers place in the top 20 of the competition. White placed eighth overall in the match. He had an individual score of 479. Glass placed eleventh with a score of 473. During annual firearms training, instructors at each Indiana State Police Posts, record the scores of target shooting (conventional style) for each officer. The top scores determine which officers will represent a particular post. As it is not mandatory, only those that wish to compete will make up a team.

Grow Wabash County to continue work with Manchester class By The Paper staff

Grow Wabash County officials announced the organization will continue its support of Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School’s accounting class led by MJSHS business teacher Shelly Leifer. The partnership includes funding for an online accounting simulation program, as well as opportunities for technical assistance and mentoring with GWC and GWC Investor businesses as the class moves forward. “These simulation packets help the students take all of the knowledge they have a c c u m u l a t e d throughout the school year and apply it to a realistic simulation; as if they were working for a real company,” she said. While using the simulation package last year, there were several “Ohhhh I get it now” moments, she continued. Grow Wabash County has partnered with Leifer’s classes previously to give authenticity to the things the students are learning in class. “We are so fortunate to live in a County that has businesses and organizations that are always willing to help our students with authentic learning opportunities. When students see their community members reaching out to them they learn lessons about good citizenship and giving back. Ultimately, that will make them better citizens,” Leifer said. Supporting education at all levels is one of the areas which Grow Wabash County serves the Wabash County community, having

formed partnerships with many local education partners from early education through career and technical training to partnerships with local universities. “We are excited when we can partner with our local schools to help bring real world opportuni-

Best of the Best has annual art show By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com The Best of the Best art program showcased work of some of the area’s most talented youth artists Sunday, May 19 in the Honeywell Center’s Honeywell Room. Young artists from around the county, as well as Heartland Career Center, put their artwork up for sale to patrons, who stopped in the Center to check out what they had to offer from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Co-director Jeanie Cooper explained that the Best of the Best is an entrepreneurial group made up of high school art students. The group meets four times a year, culminating with Sunday’s show and sale. “When we meet those four times during the year, we have guest artists come in,” Cooper said. “We take a field trip to usually a museum or college, and we also have one morning where we practice just getting ready for the show.” The Best of the Best got started by Mike Hapner and former Wabash City Schools Superintendent Celia Briggs. It started as an idea of how students could sell their artwork, and they formed a plan to do that. “Next thing you know, I was part of it,” Cooper said. “I’ve been a part of it – this is our 12th year.” The program allows each art teacher from each school to pick the students that they feel will be a selfstarter, or independent worker who is creative and will create artwork and benefit from the program. Each teacher is allowed to pick up to four students. “The teacher chooses them, and they have to show that creativity,” Cooper said. “Also, you have to be an independent worker, because they’re expected to create at least four pieces for the show. Everybody has done more than that, but they’re expected to do at least four. The art teacher looks for those quality students.” The artists choose their form of artwork.

Sunday, all types of artwork was on display, from graphic arts to photography, to pencil and acrylic work. There was also over 150 pieces of pottery at the show. “Each year it’s amazing what these kids can create,” Cooper said. “And, it always surprises me. And, they all bring their own style. So, each year the show is different. But, it just gives you goosebumps, the talent we have right here in our own community. You see it when you enjoy the show.” For students like Wabash’s Madison Church, art started as little sketches at age 7, and then over time, got more serious. “For me it was just the expression,” Church said. “It allows me to have a creative outlet. To me, it’s still a creative expression. It’s a different way to show what I can do. For me, it’s an opportunity to get my art out there. I’ve never done that before. I don’t know if I want to go to art school, but I want to do something in the creative field.” Northfield’s Alyssa Haupert got her start in art as soon as she got into school. She quickly realized she loved to draw and it grew from there. Most of her works on display Sunday came from important events to her. “Like the courthouse (painting), it’s a big part of the town,” Haupert said. “Art is everywhere, and that makes it a big part of my life. It can be a part of anything.” Haupert said it’s an honor to be part of Best of the Best. “It’s helped me learn a lot,” she said. “I’m glad that I was chosen to be part of it. We’ve done some workshops which has helped us learn some new skills. And, we’ve gone around downtown looking at some of the galleries to view other artists’ work.” The Best of the Best 2019 group also included Elaine Teusch and Lillian Wagner from Heartland Career Center, Emma Bechtold, Regan Hathaway, Lillian Myers and Alexis Roher from

Manchester High School, Faye Satterthwaite and Emma Wynn from Northfield High School, Carina Mason, Ben Roudebush and Elissa Wiley from Southwood High School, and Bella David from Wabash High School.

Lady Squires win 4th straight tennis sectional championship By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

PERU — Manchester continued its dominance in area girls tennis with its fourth straight sectional championship Saturday, May 18 at Peru’s Thrush Courts. The Squires matched up with Maconaquah after the Squires edged Peru, and the Braves fought to get past Northfield in the semifinals the evening before. The championship match was more anticlimatic with Manchester clinching a 5-0 win in just over an hour. “This was an outstanding achievement for not only our eight seniors who have worked hard to achieve this success, but also the entire team and program,” Manchester coach Joel Eichenauer said. First off the court was Eva Bazzoni with a 6-1, 6-1 win at 3-singles. The 2-doubles team of Rebekah Pyle and Alyssa Marvel made it a 2-0 team score with a 6-0, 6-2 win. The clinching points came from the 1-doubles team of Anna Osborne and Rebekah Pyle who won 6-3, 6-0 to send the Squires to regional.

While the score was decisive at 2-singles, Halle Briner won a long 6-1, 6-1 match to put the Squires up 4-0, Meanwhile, 1-singles player Kelsey Eichenauer was in a battle for two sets, dropping the first set 6-4, then battling back with a 6-4 win in the second set to send the match to a decisive third set. In the final set, it

was all Eichenauer cruising to a 6-0 shutout. “We had excellent depth this season as 12 girls saw varsity match play,” Coach Eichenauer said. “Seniors Morgan Stroud and Briley Spann really gave our team leadership and a lift when we needed it the most.” M a n c h e s t e r improved to 13-4 on

the year with the win. They take their record, along with their fourth straight conference and sectional titles to the Culver Academies Regional where they will face Plymouth Tuesday, May 21 at 5 p.m. Semifinals Manchester 3, Peru 2 The Squires went the distance to get to

the championship match with a 3-2 win over host Peru Friday, May 17. Peru won the first set in three matches, but could only hold on for two of them. At 3-singles, Bazzoni was the first off the court for Manchester with a 62, 6-1 win over Celia Vallez. Peru tied it up at 1-1 when Madisyn

Carrico and Molly Gray won two tight sets over Osborne and Halie Wampler 7-5, 64. The Squires took a 2-1 lead when the 2doubles team of Pyle and Marvel won 6-4, 63 over Casidy Bartel and Libby Rogers. The Tigers knotted things up at 2-2 when Claire Boyer beat Manchester’s Eichenauer 6-4, 6-3 at 1-singles. Meanwhile at 2-singles, the Squires’ Briner was struggling against Cate Wolfe with a 6-1 loss in the first set. But the sophomore rebounded, fighting cramps, to run away with 6-1, 6-1 wins in the final two sets. Maconaquah 3, Northfield 2 Northfield fell short of the championship match with a 3-2 loss to Maconaquah in the other semifinal. Chloe Miller fought back from an early deficit in the first set to win 6-4, 6-2 at 1-singles, and will advance to the individual sectional later this week at Culver Academy. At 2-singles, Kelcie Thomson won Northfield’s other point 6-2, 6-3. Ashley Lyons lost a tough 3-set match at 3singles 6-4, 4-6, 6-4,

while the 1-doubles team of Erin Whetstone and Lyndsey Carter battled in a 7-6, 6-4 loss. The 2-doubles team of Tori Bogert and Allysa Haupert fell short 6-2, 6-3. “It was a tough loss between two pretty equally matched teams,” Northfield coach Marianne Milam said. “It was a great season for the much improved girls. “Thank you to the three seniors (Thomson, Whetstone and Macie Sears) for their leadership and great attitudes that have really changed the way we play Lady Norse tennis.” Northfield ends the season with an 8-5 overall record and a third place finish in the TRC at 6-2. Quarterfinals Maconaquah 4, Peru 1 Wabash’s girls tennis team lost to Peru, 4-1, in opening round action of the Peru sectional on Wednesday. Annie Cole and Evelynn Gray were the Lady Apaches lone victors at No.2 Doubles. Maconaquah 5, Southwood 0 Southwood’s tennis team fell to Maconaquah, 5-0.

County’s hazard mitigation plan available for review By The Paper staff

Wabash County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan’s 5year update is now available for review. The Wabash County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) Update is a multi-jurisdictional planning effort led by the Wabash County E m e r g e n c y Management Office. The previous MHMP, adopted in 2011 was the necessary first step of a multi-step process to implement programs, policies, and projects to mitigate the effect of hazards in Wabash County. A Federal E m e r g e n c y Management Agency (FEMA) approved MHMP is required to be eligible for disaster mitigation funds. FEMA also requires communities to update and resubmit the MHMP every five years to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding.

Go Gingerly! www.thepaperofwabash.com

Hurting my left arm during spring break - while lifting a grandchild from the bathtub – this fifty-something southpaw quickly discerned two things: 1.) I am getting older, and 2.) My body no longer bounces back as quickly as it used to! Wisely seeking medical care, which officially confirmed my previous statement, the words of Dylan Thomas soon echoed through my head, “Do not go gentle into that good night… rage, rage against the dying of the light!” Being offered nothing more than time as my healer, I found myself suddenly hell-bent for ways to aid my arm in healing it faster, which led me to a favorite flavor of mine that also happens to be a great antii n f l a m m a t o r y, too - ginger! Used globally for thousands of years as a natural remedy, ginger has appeared in ancient Chinese, Roman, Greek, Arabic and Sanskrit texts as being a root that improves both health and greater well-being. Known historically for treating nausea, today ginger can aid in reducing the severity of nausea in patients receiving chemotherapy. Ginger also helps reduce inflammatory proteins responsible for ulcer development in the stomach. Offering powerful anti-fungal properties, ginger is effective against fungal infections in the mouth and it can help rid plants of fungus, too! Containing compounds that

fight off bacterial infections, ginger can help inhibit the growth of certain strains of bacteria that cause gum disease and also several strains of drug-resistant bacteria as well. One of the most impressive benefits of ginger is its anticancer properties where studies have shown ginger being effective at blocking cancer cell growth and development for ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancers, too. What is amazing is that in addition to all that I have already mentioned, ginger also possesses the ability to naturally lower cholesterol, too. A study conducted at Babol University of Medical Sciences found that ginger can significantly reduce bad LDL cholesterol and raise beneficial HDL cholesterol. In fact, ginger is nearly as effective in lowering cholesterol as atorvastatin, a medication commonly prescribed for high blood cholesterol. Adding to its impressive list of abilities, ginger is also able to help improve cognitive function and attention in middleaged women, and because of its ability to reduce inflammation, helps treat both muscle pain – like I am currently dealing with - and arthritis-related joint pain, too – thank you, God! Armed – literally and figuratively – with healthy benefits, here are some refreshing ways for you to go gingerly, tooENJOY!

Laura’s Ginger Ale Awesome ‘n’ Easy Ginger Ale 1 cup finely chopped fresh ginger root 1 cup water 1 cup pure maple syrup* 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 1 liter sparkling water (Perrier) chilled In a 1 quart saucepan, combine ginger and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes. Using a screen strainer, strain mixture into a 16 ounce glass measuring cup. Add maple syrup then stir in lemon juice then transfer to a sealed liquid container. To serve, place one ounce of syrup, or to taste, in a glass filled with ice then add eight ounces of sparkling water then stir gently

Ginger, and the awesome ale its flavor creates, can make you feel as fabulous as it tastes, especially if you make it from fresh ginger yourself- ah! Food stylist and photographer: Laura Kurella

before serving. *= Pure maple syrup contains quebecol, a phenol that curbs the body's inflammatory response, which is a key characteristic of inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis. Makes 6 servings.

Golden Milk 2 cups light, unsweetened coconut milk (or almond or soy milk) 1/2 tablespoon peeled, grated fresh ginger 1 tablespoon peeled, grated fresh turmeric 3-4 black peppercorns In a saucepan, combine all ingredients over medium heat. Stir well. Bring to a boil then simmer, covered,

for 10 minutes. Strain and sweeten to taste, if desired. Serve hot or chilled. Makes 2 servings.

Raw Ginger Ale 2-inch piece of ginger 12 ounces of sparkling or carbonated water squeeze of lemon 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Using a garlic press, juice ginger into a tall glass then add water and finish with lemon. Makes one serving.
