Cook-off draws thousands

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com For the second straight year, Brass Kicking Chili from the Ford Meter Box Co. captured first place in the Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off on Saturday, Oct. 19.

The Ford team, led by head cook Doug Henderson, bested a field of more than 80 teams during the 17th annual competition at the Paradise Spring Historical Park.

Several thousand members of the public converged on the park to sample the various chilis and help raise funds for 12 local organizations.

“From all appearances I think we had a pretty good day,” Cookoff Committee chair Todd Titus said. “There was a nice crowd.

The weather was great.

“We won’t know anything about the financial side for probably a week or so when we get all the receipts totaled and get the bill.”

Titus said he was pleased

with the way everything went on Saturday.

“I don’t think you could ask for anything better than that,” he said. “It was a really nice day and the people came out for it.

We’re really happy about that.”

While he heads the committee, Titus said he didn’t sample any of the chili varieties available on Saturday.

“I haven’t had chili down there in a number of years now,” he said.

Neighbours students go back in time

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Students, parents and teachers arrived to O.J. Neighbours on Thursday, Oct. 17, for the 31st annual Pioneer Re-enactment.

The re-enactment took place in the David F. Sodervick Outdoor Education Center, where OJN students demon-

strated what life was like in the 1800’s for Native Americans and pioneers.

The event was free to the public, but donations were accepted to help with the costs for next year’s re-enactment.

The Community Foundation of Wabash County and Grow Wabash County, along with many other community members, are inviting residents and those who work in Wabash County to gather next week to engage in conversations about the community.

These conversations are called On the Table and are designed to be small, intimate discussions, about community members’ hopes and ideas for Wabash County. On the Table was developed by the Chicago Community Trust in 2014 to reach community member’s whose voices weren’t being heard. In order to have these conversations, members of the Community Trust stationed themselves in various locations (continued on page 15A)

Alyssa Shepherd was convicted on five counts on Friday, Oct. 18.

The 12-person jury presented its unanimous verdict at 6:48 p.m. after about three hours of deliberation at the Fulton County Courthouse.

Shepherd was convicted of striking four children at a Fulton County school bus stop on Oct. 30, 2018, killing three and critically injuring the fourth.

She faced three counts of reckless homicide, a Level 5 felony, one count of criminal recklessness, a Level 6 felony, and one Class A misdemeanor count of passing a school bus with its stop arm extended, causing bodily injury.

Shepherd was convicted of killing Alivia Stahl and her twin brothers, Mason and Xvavier Ingle while they crossed State Road 25 to board the bus. She also was convicted of critically injuring a fourth child, Maverik Lowe.

“I’m extremely happy,” Brittany Ingle, mother of the three deceased children, told The Paper of Wabash County.

“It should have went that way. I kind of had a feeling it would, based on all the evidence.

“I’m really glad that they held her accountable.”

The children’s grandfather, Michael Schwab, echoed Ingle’s thoughts.

“I’m very pleased,” he said.

“It just shows that the system does work. That jury was very engaged. They followed it all the way through. They asked some incredible questions.

“And I thought the judge (Gregory Heller) really kept it kind of moving all the way through.

The prosecutor (Michael Marrs) came back and pushed back hard on some of the noise that was being presented by the defense. I thought it went very well. I think it should make people comfortable that the system does work when given a chance.

“But it’s another reason why

you can’t just be an uninterested party. You have to get involved in your case, too, and make sure that it gets the attention that it requires.”

The verdict came after three days of testimony in the Fulton County Superior Court.

During opening arguments, Prosecutor Marrs said the state will prove that the accident happened because of Shepherd’s “reckless actions.”

One of her defense attorneys, David Newman, said that this is a unique case in that both the prosecution and defense agree on a set of facts in the “tragic accident.”

What is in dispute, he said, is what the facts actually show.

“She simply didn’t know it was a school bus,” Newman said. “None of her actions that day were reckless. She was negligent, not reckless.”

Ten witnesses took the stand throughout the day, including Ingle, mother of the three deceased children.

She said that she heard a crash and screaming and immediately began running toward the scene. When she approached the site, she saw the twin boys lying in the middle of the highway. Alivia and Maverik were thrown from the point of initial impact and both ended in a ditch along the side of the road.

Ingle said when she realized that Alivia was also involved, she went running toward her.

Meanwhile, she said, she looked back toward the twins and saw a blanket being placed over their bodies. She asked a neighbor to tend to Alivia while she went back to the boys. While with them, the neighbor came and said Alivia also was gone.

“When I knew my kids were gone, I just wanted to know who did it,” she said, fighting back tears.

Also testifying was Robert Reid, driver of the bus the children were attempting to board when the accident happened, and Hobart Wheeler, who was driving a box truck immediately behind Reid’s bus.

Reid said he saw Shepherd’s (continued on page 7A)

Classmates dedicate bench to late friend

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com On Wednesday, Oct. 13, at the hot dog and ice cream emporium in Lagro, Richard Monce sat in silence on a bench dedicated to his late wife, Anita, looking at the high school photo of her propped up next to him, holding back tears.

Anita Elward Monce grew up in Lagro, married Richard Monce, lived in Fort Wayne for a few years, and then returned to the home she grew up in where she lived out the rest of her life.

Richard Monce poses with a photo of his late wife, Anita, on the bench that her lifelong friends got an placed in Lagro in her memory. Photo by Mandy Underwood.

Anita stayed close with her school mates from the time she was seven to the day she passed away.

At the dedication of the bench on Wednesday, Anita’s husband was joined by two of those friends, Cheryl Stewart Teague and Becki Behny Wagoner.

Teague and Wagoner, along with six other lifelong friends Cathy Poole Herrell, Rita Rehak Muellyer, Ruthanne Treska Richwine, Linda Clark Mallow, Shirley Gilbert Shellenbarger, and Peggy Schlemmer

Ballschmidt joined in raising money to have a bench with a plaque on it placed in Lagro, where their friendship began.

“There were eight girls who went from first grade to graduation together here in Lagro,” said Wagoner.

“Last year all of us got together and we decided we weren’t getting any younger so we were going to start getting together all the time. Anita and I started walking together almost every day. And then she got sick.”

Those friends were the ones who had the idea to do something

special to honor her.

“We just felt like that bond that we had since we were seven years old needed to be honored,” Wagoner told the Paper of Wabash County.

“She was just the type of person that never said a bad word about anyone.

Everyone just loved her,” Teague commented that she couldn’t agree more with the statements that Wagoner was making.

“She was such a special person,” she said.

Uptown Virtual Reality opens in Wabash

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com A new type of entertainment has made its way into Wabash in the form of a Virtual Reality studio.

Uptown Virtual Reality (VR) is located on 59 S. Wabash St. and is open Monday through Thursday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., and closed on Sunday.

Ben Holbrook and Ethan Ryder are cofounders of the new business.

“I met Ben through working together at

Zoomers RV,” Ryder told The Paper of Wabash County.

“We ended up having good chemistry and decided to start this, which was awesome.”

Virtual Reality is a type of video game where the player wears a headset that makes them feel as if they are in another world, and holding controllers that are often viewed as other things by the player when the headset is on.

“I prefer to call them experiences instead of games, because that is really what they are, experi-

ences,” said Ryder.

Uptown VR offers many different experiences for people of all ages and interests.

Experiences range from fishing and hunting, to job simulation.

“There really are experiences for anyone,” said Ryder.

Ryder also told The Paper that Uptown VR prides itself on having affordable fun for anyone.

It costs $5 for five minutes of play, $15 for 15 minutes, $25 for 30 minutes, and $35 for an hour of play.

“Most people tend to think that, because virtual reality is a

Memorial bench around the county for a bench, the women realized that the $285 they had raised would not be nearly enough to buy the bench.

Someone had suggested that they go to the recycle center to see about a bench being made from old bottle caps.

Upon arrival, Wagoner spoke with Jen Rankin, director at the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District.

Rankin was so touched by their story of friendship and the efforts of these women to honor and remember Anita, that she offered to give them a bench for the money they had

raised, which was actually used to make the name plate attached to the front of the bench.

“That bench, in it of itself, is just a whole other story of how things were just supposed to happen the way they did,” said Wagoner.

“I knew that Anita had saved bottle caps. She had told me how she saved them and had to wash them and everything to take them to be recycled. When we told Jen what we wanted the bench for, she had a bench that had been made out of recycled bottle caps that she has about $1,600 in it total with everything it takes to

Wagoner recalls feeling shocked when Jen offered to sell them the bench for the $285 they had.

“Cheryl and I just stood there with our mouths open. We could not believe it.”

“We couldn’t have made it work without her,” said Teague.

Another person that contributed to the success of this memorial is Lou Studio, the owner of the hot dog and ice cream shop in Lagro, where the bench is placed.

“We came to talk to [Lou] about putting the bench there and he was just all for it,” said Wagoner.

Studio arrived late to the dedication due to another commitment he had, but showed up nonetheless to see the newly placed memorial bench and talk with Anita’s husband, Richard.

Studio commented to Richard that the bench was placed off center.

“He asked me if he could center and it and I said, ‘Well, actually, Anita would have told me, ‘This needs centered,’” Richard said.

“I just have a feeling that Anita is up there looking down on us and loving all of this,” said Teague.

This bench repre-

sents so much more than just a friend that passed away. It represents the sense of community and giving that Wabash County exudes.

Wagoner hopes that as more of her friend group passes on, that more plaques will be added to the bench to represent the group’s lifelong friendship.

When he realized she wasn’t slowing down, Reid said he began honking his horn.

“I honked my horn until impact,” he said.

Wheeler said he was in shock and upset after witnessing the accident. He said he left his truck and approached Shepherd’s vehicle because “I wanted to see who it was. I thought it was a drunk driver.”

Also testifying was Maverik Lowe, who said he was helping the siblings across the street because their elder sister wasn’t going to school that day.

He said he saw Shepherd’s vehicle quickly approaching.

After the prosecution rested on Friday morning, the defense presented its case.

Shepherd was the first to take the stand.

She said she saw the school bus lights, but was unable to determine what it was. She said she thought it might have been a tractor or a truck with a wide load.

“It looked like it was moving toward me,” she testified, adding that she still couldn’t tell what the vehicle was as she got closer. “When I saw children, I instantly knew it was a school bus.”

Also testifying for the defense were Brittany Thompson, the assistant 9-1-1 director for the Fulton County Sheriff ’s Department and a friend of Shepherd’s.

Shepherd testified that she called Thompson after being unable to contact anyone on the 9-1-1 system following the crash.

“She was emotionally unstable,” Thompson said of Shepherd. “She was going in and out of shock, and was hysterical. She was asking me to pray for the kids and her.”

Shepherd’s husband, Neil, said he came to the accident scene after his wife had contacted him at the family’s business. Shepherd had taken her husband to work that morning and was returning to their home in Rochester (continued on page 12A)

The girls demonstrated and then offered samples to anyone who wanted to try.

To the Citizens of Wabash County: For those who were present at the recent 2019 Grow Wabash County Banquet, as well as those who have seen the handful of short video clips on social media of my introduction and reaction to being named the 2019 W a b a s h Distinguished Citizen, I am usually not at a lack for words, but that honor left me speechless.

All that I could think of upon reaching the stage was to make a couple of amusing remarks about my family present on the stage and then to thank those on hand as well who considered me worthy of the honor. After some time for reflection, I now have a few people who I would like to mention that have been instrumental in my life and therefore have molded my thoughts and actions into what I am today.

My first thought is to recognize my parents who set a very positive example from the start. When I was in the 6th grade at St. Bernard School, I was awarded the “Honor Athlete Award.” In

fact, I still have the plaque. My parents took me aside afterward and praised me for the way that I handled myself, but also cautioned me that people would now think of me in a different light from that day on, and charged me to continue to set a positive example because “all eyes” would now be upon me. That included my younger brother and sister. I took that responsibility seriously.

I would like to name a few people that have mentored me down through the years and a few even today.

Former coaches Chris Rood and Paul Gunderman helped me to understand the

importance of organization as well as serving others. Former Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m helped instill personal discipline and drive. Others along the way who have befriended and helped me understand the importance of serving and mentoring the youth of our community include Dan and Tammy Ford, Tom Ehret, the late Bill Hensley and Bill Plummer.

Also, Parker Beauchamp, who played baseball on a team that I coached several years back and has always been a sounding board. I owe a debt of gratitude to them as well as my YMCA family, specifically Dean Gogolewski, Patty Godfroy, Jay Driskill, Stacey Fry, Amy Johnson, Amanda Jones and Brooke Robinson, who exposed my emotions by video at the ceremony.

Lastly, I would be nothing without my family. My lovely wife Nancy, who is my rock. She was told

about the honor early on and kept it a tight secret. My in-laws, Vaughn and Miriam Peebles. My sister, Gerrilu, and her husband, Don. My sister has always been a very strong pillar in my life. My brother, Joe, and his wife, Cathy, along with my nieces and nephews have always supported me. My daughter, Jessica, who is the apple of my eye, her husband, Drew, my son, Matt, and his wife, Laura, who have always been there for me. I live for them as well as our grandkids Cameron, Emmy and Jackson who are my inspiration. In fact, Jackson, who was at the ceremony is my shadow and proudly makes sure that anyone he meets knows that he is my grandson.

I am truly humbled and honored that our community thinks that I am worthy of such an honor and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

— Bill Barrows, Wabash

when the accident took place.

He also described his actions throughout the remainder of the day.

Rodney Rudd, an Argos police officer and friend of Shepherd’s family, was the defense’s last witness. He testified about a video he took on his cell phone of a tractor approaching him on State Road 110 one evening.

Marrs objected to the showing of the video for numerous reasons; however, Heller overruled him.

During final arguments, Tuszynski attempted to blame Reid for the tragedy, noting that he waved the children across the road. He also blamed the Tippecanoe Valley School District for not requiring the bus to turn into the mobile home park where the family lived.

Much as they did in the opening arguments, the defense said that they are not disputing that Shepherd’s vehicle struck the children. They argued, however, that she was negligent and not reckless, as the prosecution contended.

“We’re not asking for certification that she’s a good person,” STATE OF INDIANA COUNTY OF WABASH

Tuszynski said. “We’re asking you to decide based on facts.”

Marrs, in his closing remarks, noted that the bus has stopped at the location outside the mobile home park for about 50 years. Over that time, which consists of roughly 18,000 stops, only two accidents have taken place.

“It’s not the bus driver’s fault,” he said, reiterating that it took Shepherd 6 ½ seconds to step on her brakes after seeing the lights.

Shepherd’s sentencing will be at 1 p.m. Dec. 18 at the same courthouse. She remains to be out on bond until her sentencing.

Ingle said her husband, Shane, as well as herself and her father plan to speak at the sentencing hearing. She also would like to get parents of her children’s friends to speak.

“They’re all still missing the kids,” she said, noting that one girl who played softball with Alivia presented the family a trophy she received this year to honor the youngster’s memory. “She wrote a letter and you could tell that little girl is hurting, and so are a lot of the kids.”

Mr. & Mrs. Sam Unger

When Richard Hixson married Joyce Unger May 15, 1966 in Falls Church, VA, little did they or anyone else realize that three years later, Dick’s sister, Deanna, who lived in Pennsylvania, would marry Joyce’s brother, Sam, who lived in Indiana.

Oct. 11, 2019, marked the 50th wedding anniversary of Sam and Deanna Unger.

The wedding almost didn’t happen since there was campus unrest when the Petersime Chapel on the Manchester College campus was briefly occupied by minority students seeking refuge after a fight broke out following an intramural game.

Although they sympathized with the protestors, the nervous groom made several trips to the Administrative Office to be sure the Chapel would still be available for the wedding.

The Administrator assured him the dispute would be settled and the concept for the AAFRO house was born.

Since their wedding in 1969 was quite small, the Ungers wanted to invite all their family and friends to help them celebrate this momentous occasion.

The Hixson family came from California, Oregon, Pennsylvania and many places in Indiana for a five day reunion on the family farm on Elliott Road, southwest of Wabash where the Ungers settled in 1886.

Friday, Oct. 4, was First Friday in downtown Wabash so the brothers and sisters joined in all the festivities.

Saturday was a day for other relatives and friends to come to enjoy life on the farm complete with rides in the woods and a campfire.

Dr. Jan Akbary (Southwood class of 1966) and his wife, Shukria, flew in from Florida and were greeted by former classmates. Akbary was a foreign exchange student from Afghanistan who lived with the Ungers and is a brother to Sam and Joyce.

Sunday was the big celebration starting with worship at the Richvalley United Methodist Church. Former Richvalley pastor, the Rev. Carl Thompson, married the couple at the Petersime Chapel on the Manchester College campus.

Following a brunch at the Honeywell Center, guests were welcomed to an Open House reception at The Honeywell House.

Miss Mary Berkebile, a cousin from Peru, provided beautiful piano music and Rod Morrison honored the couple by playing “Unchained Melody” on the violin as they shared a dance.

The Ungers appreciate everyone who came to help them celebrate their special day.

throughout the city of Chicago with the goal of being welcoming and accessible, and to listen and encourage feedback and participation from all community members.

The motive for the Community Foundation and Grow Wabash County to utilize this model is based upon community members’ feedback from the Wabash County population reports in August and online survey, in addition to the recommendation from Mark Becker of Becker Consulting to implement a civicengagement model in the community.

Therefore, between Monday, October 28, and Friday, November 01, the Community Foundation, Grow Wabash County, and other community members will be stationed throughout the community at various times and locations to listen to the concerns and hopes of people who live and or work in Wabash County.

“An On the Table conversation is straightforward and

15A

...continued from Page 1 effortless” says Melissa Ford, development associate at the Community Foundation of Wabash County.

“A conversation simply consists of a host inviting or sitting down with a small group of people to talk about the community. The host will ask a few questions, but the host is there exclusively to listen.

Following the conversation, participants will be provided with a short survey.

Participant comments and the survey responses will never be attributed to a person by name, but will be summarized

by Manchester University. The results will be shared in aggregate and will hopefully be useful to community decision making. What’s most exciting about On the Table, is that oftentimes, these conversations introduce people to each other and can lead to the participants taking action. I’m so appreciative of the community members who have signed up to lead these conversations across the County.”

On the Table events will

take place Oct. 28 to Nov. 1 at various locations, and the public is invited and encouraged to attend to provide feedback. Those who have questions or would like more information, please contact 260-982-4824 or imaginewabashcounty@gmail .com In addition to the listed public conversations, many other community members are signing up to host their own private conversations with their friends, family, and co-workers.

“We are so pleased with the number of volunteers willing to engage groups in conversations about Wabash County’s future,” said Tenille Zartman, Vice President of Grow Wabash County. If you are interested in hosting your own On the Table conversation, please contact the Community Foundation or Grow Wabash County to receive host materials and a participant surveys.

Conversations are encouraged to happen between October 28th through mid-November.

The Roann Heritage Group met on Thursday, Oct. 10, at the town hall.

Minutes of the September meeting and the financial report were reviewed.

Special recognition of the grave site for Samuel Burdge by the DAR was done on Oct. 8 with Barbara Amiss as representative of the DAR. The grave is a short distance north of Stockdale Mill.

Susan Floor has been busy working on a donors list for businesses and individuals who may be interested in helping out by donating to the Main Street grant

program for the Town of Roann.

Barb Burdge submitted a letter that will be mailed soon to that list of possible donors.

The Heritage Group determined they need

to set goals of what would be top priorities to start with the revitalization of our town. Some of the things on the list are: new business facades, vintage lighting, and accessible sidewalks are some projects to consider. A public restroom has been a major subject for many years. A location, and low maintenance upkeep, have been two of the reasons why this has never been pursued before.

Another project the Heritage Group has on the list is to have the mural on the south side of the com-

munity building repainted.

Contact has been made with the Northfield art department about possibly doing this as a work project for their class.

The group would also like to beautify the log cabin area.

The first part of this plan is to pull out the overgrown shrubs on the hillside in front of the cabin. It would be a nice area on the lawn for a picnic table. One way to get a table is to save plastic bottle caps, the table would be made from them. If you would like to help out, please save plastic bottle

Black Sesame Brittle

Prep Time: 20 minutes; Cook Time: 20 minutes; Total Time: 40 minutes Author: floraandvino.com.

Recipe type: Dessert Cuisine: Oil-Free, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free Serves: 9-12 brownies Antioxidant rich, oil-free, refined sugar free, and intensely chocolatey!

Sweetened with unrefined coconut sugar and frosted with an easy black sesame cacao frosting. Perfect for a decadent plant-based dessert.

Prep Time: 5 minutes; Cook Time: 20 minutes; Rest Time: 30 minutes; Total Time: 55 minutes.

Yield: 2 cups brittle

BROWNIE 1/2 heaping cup Black Sesame Butter (or regular tahini) 1 cup unrefined coconut sugar (use 3/4 cup if you like darker chocolate!)

1 1/4 cup oat flour (or sub another GF flour) 1/4 cup raw cacao powder 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional) 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until uniformly mixed then cook until mixture bubbles steadily. Using a clean wooden spoon or spatula, stir occasionally, until it turns dark golden brown, reads at least 305 degrees on a candy thermometer, and, this is important, there are no crystallized white spots left in the pan. Working quickly, stir in salt and black sesame seeds, 1/4 cup at a time then pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and, using a cooking-sprayed spatula, spread out into a thin even layer, about 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Cool for about 15-30 minutes then gently tap with a mallet or a knife to break into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

FROSTING 2 tablespoons maple syrup 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder 2 tablespoons Black Sesame Butter (or regular tahini) To make Brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a square, 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine Black Sesame Butter (or regular tahini), sugar, flour, cacao powder, baking powder (if using), and almond milk.

Using a fork, mix until well combined. Mixture should be thick and moist, not dry and crumbling. If your batter is dry and crumbling, add 1-2 tablespoons more of almond milk and black sesame butter and then mix in.

Spoon batter into prepared pan and, using a spatula, smooth out into an even layer. Place pan in oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges start to pull away from the pan and the surface starts to crack and brown. Remove pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

To make Frosting: In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, raw cacao powder and black sesame butter until smooth. Once brownies have cooled, frost with a thin layer of frosting then cut into squares. Store leftover brownies in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days or freeze for longer storage.

1 1/2 cups cane sugar 2 tablespoons water 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons roasted black sesame seeds Pinch salt

Tempting Tahini Freezer Fudge 1 cup tahini 4 tablespoons cacao powder 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil 4 tablespoons raw honey, adjust to taste 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Coarse sea salt, to taste Line an 8 × 5-inch bread loaf pan with parchment or wax paper. In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, cacao powder, coconut oil, honey and vanilla. Taste and adjust sweetness, if desired.

Pour mixture into the prepared pan then sprinkle with coarse sea salt before placing pan in freezer for an hour or until solid. Remove the fudge and cut into squares. Sprinkle more coarse sea salt on top if desired. Store in freezer until ready to serve.

Open Sesame!

I feel blessed by God to be given a father who took the time to explain things, like sesame seeds, which came on a day I was objecting to eating a bun that had these little seeds sprinkled on top of it.

When Dad explained how sesame seeds were special brain food, and that eating them would help me grow smarter, I was able to muster the courage to bravely taste this bun bearing these odd little seeds.

Much to my surprise, I discovered that sesame seeds weren’t so bad after all, thus making wiser in a single bite!

Offering both essential vitamins and minerals, sesame seeds also possess lignans, which have anticancer effects, heart-promoting abilities, and natural cholesterol-lowering capabilities. In fact, when compared to 27 different nuts, seeds, legumes and grains, sesame seeds rank the highest in cholesterol-lowering phytosterols!

An intriguing study at Yale found that when sesame seed oil was added to the diet, in just 45 days’ time, it significantly lowered blood pressure, decreased lipids, and increased antioxidants in the majority of people studied.

Offering amino acids, vitamin E, trace minerals and fatty acids that all help rejuvenate skin, sesame seeds can also help us prevent early signs of aging, and improve the integrity, elasticity, and firmness of our skin.

Crushed into the paste known as tahini, a creamy, nutty spread commonly used in North African, Greek, Iranian, Turkish, and Middle Eastern cuisine, tahini is also gaining interest in the U.S., thanks to Michigan-based Eden Foods, America’s oldest natural and organic food company!

Launching their own line of Roasted Tahini and Black Sesame Butter, Eden is giving us new ways to get smart by adding more of it to our plates - Thanks, Dad! Here now is a sampling of recipes to help you say, “Open sesame!” including one from floraandvino.com, a great place to find fresh ideas for plant-forward cooking. ENJOY!

These Black Sesame Butter Brownies are not only intensely chocolatey, but also antioxidant-rich, oilfree, and topped with a special frosting that makes them an oh-so-pleasing, plant-forward delight!

A thought to ponder: “There is a term that applies to sports and life that gets a bad rap: ‘choking’.

Choking simply means that you care so much about the outcome that your nerves get in the way of your ability to perform at your best level.

‘Tanking’, or just giving up, simply means you don’t care about the outcome; this is actually the worst possible situation in life and sports. You have

11B

within you the power to make life and any sport you play fun, to build confidence, to play sports and life consistently and to excel in both. When we put our all into life and a sport there is the possibility we will not reach the level we were shooting for, but you can take great satisfaction in the fact that you put in your best effort. The result is a higher quality life and sports.”

Everyone do me that special favor and have a safe enjoyable week!
