Recycling program changes

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Three drop-off recycling sites in LaFontaine and Wabash are closed and recyclable items must now be taken to the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District site at 1101 Manchester Ave. in Wabash.

The move is taking place for two reasons, according to District Executive Director Jen Rankin.

There is a low market value for recyclables, she said. In addition, the drop-off sites have yielded a high level of contamination because of non-recyclable items being placed in them.

The recycling site at the Manchester Avenue facility opened on Monday.

“Recyclers are to use the entrance to the Solid Waste Management District lot to access the recycling containers,” Rankin said. “There will be absolutely no tolerance of illegal dumping. The new site is under 24 hour security surveillance. Violators will be prosecuted.”

Signs at the site and large stickers on the recycling bins will indicate what can be placed (continued on page 5)

WABASH – Wabash residents may soon be able to enjoy new outdoor fitness equipment if a crowdfunding campaign launched Friday, June 21, reaches its fundraising goal of $25,000

by August 5.

The campaign, led by the City of Wabash is using the CreatINg Places program sponsored by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA).

If the campaign reaches its goal, the Wabash Fitness Court project will receive a matching grant of $25,000 from IHCDA. “The City of Wabash has made the health and wellness of their residents a priority with this new project,” said Indiana Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, who serves as board chair of IHCDA. “We are pleased to partner with them to provide free, inclusive and a time efficient place for people to stay active.”

The funds raised will be used to add a NFC Fitness Court outdoor gym which features bodyweight circuit training equip-

ment and space for stretching and individual movement.

“With the help of crowdfunding sponsored by the IHCDA and the help of Patronicity, Wabash can get even more F.I.T.” said Adam Hall, Park Superintendent for the City of Wabash. “F.I.T. is an acronym that we have created to describe the new fitness court. F.I.T. stands for Free, Inclusive, and Time. The fitness court has been designed to be free to all, available to use by everyone with all abilities, and take little time to complete a workout. We are very excited to have this new fitness court in the City of Wabash, but we need your help.

Please donate today.”

The fitness court will go in the open space next to the Wabash Riverfront Plaza, the first successful CreatINg Places campaign, and will have easy access to the Wabash River Trail.

It will have stationary exercise activities the public can (continued on page 5)

City gets bid for WFD building

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com R a n d e l Construction submitted the lone bid to construct the interior of the new building at the Wabash Fire Department’s north station.

The Wabash firm bid $227,081.95 for the work. The bid was taken under advisement for review by the fire department.

The work will entail

the building of interior walls for 10 rooms on the first floor of the structure, located just west of the station, WFD Chief Barry Stroup said.

The top floor will not have rooms.

Rather, it will be open for storage, he said.

The 60-foot-by-100foot building will be usedd for training and storage.

In another department-related matter, the board approved a resolution changing

WFD employment policy requiring personnel to live within a 30minute drive from the city’s north station.

Under the new policy, those hired after June 20, 2019, will be required to live within Wabash County.

The measure was u n a n i m o u s l y approved, but not without discussion between board member Todd Titus and Stroup.

Titus wondered if

those who now live outside of Wabash County would be required to move to within the county.

Stroup said those firefighters would be grandfathered in and allowed to live outside of the county.

Titus also asked how long a new hire would have to move into Wabash County.

Stroup said that any new hires would have one year to move to Wabash County.

Deadlines

A group which services Wabash County is seeking those in need of free legal aid.

Wabash Valley Volunteer Attorneys administers a monthly free legal aid clinic in Wabash, to provide services to lowincome individuals across the county.

Kevin N. Jones, who serves an eight county area, said that he’s heard from many judges in the area that the service is much needed, however attendance for the program is not very high.

The program was started in the 1970s by

Bark of All Trades, LLC PET GROOMING Amy Gauthier JKL Certified JKL Certified Professional Pr Professional ofessional Groomer Groomer

Located in Wabash Cell: Cell: 260-224-1426 260-224-1426

the state of Indiana as a way to administer and monitor the pro bono services being given in the state.

Jones manages District E, which includes Wabash County. He is not an attorney. Rather, his job is to find volunteer attorneys to take pro bono cases within the district.

Jones holds his office hours from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wabash County Courthouse on the second Wednesday of each month for the legal aid clinic, so that individuals who

need pro bono assistance can complete their intake, and make sure their income meets certain requirements.

At that point, Jones contacts attorneys to see if they will take cases. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, whether people want to admit it or acknowledge it, there are a lot of individuals in the state of Indiana that can’t afford the standard retainer rates,” Jones said. “They should have access to justice just like the well to do.

And, the purpose of this program is to ensure those lowincome individuals also have a day in court just like anyone else.”

The program deals with all civil cases, including divorces, custody cases, name changes, bankruptcies, mortgage foreclosures, expungements, as well as specialized driving privileges.

“There’s a very large need,” Jones said. “For every person that comes in, we would of course like

to place them with a pro bono attorney.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen at the rate at which the state of Indiana would like to see it at.”

Individuals in need as well as attorneys seeking pro bono cases are encouraged to call Jones at 765423-5327.

Governor, state ag leaders discuss late planting season INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Eric J. Holcomb convened leaders from the state’s agriculture sectors on Thursday to receive an update on unprecedented weather conditions that have impacted farms and other agriculture businesses statewide.

As of this week, only 84 percent of Indiana’s corn crop and 64 percent of soybeans have been planted, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). That is an increase from the start of month, but both crops are usually at 100 percent planted for this time of year.

Re p re s e n t at ive s from Indiana Corn & Soybean, the Indiana Farm Service Agency, Agribusiness Council of Indiana, Indiana Pork, Purdue College of Agriculture and others joined Gov. Holcomb for the meeting.

“The unprecedent-

ed weather and extreme field conditions have put Indiana farmers in a very trying situation,” Gov. Holcomb said. “The relentless rainfall has prevented many acres from being planted and in some cases farmers have not been able to plant at all. This not only affects crop producers but those involved in animal production and the businesses that supply them.”

According to USDA, there have only been 27 days suitable for fieldwork in Indiana since late March.

That’s 20 days less when compared to the same timeframe in 2018. Heavy, consistent rainfall has saturated fields across the state.

National Oceanic and A t m o s p h e r i c Administration data shows that the past 12 months have been the wettest on record in the U.S.

The Governor is working with Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler and his staff, and the Indiana Farm Service Agency, to pursue options for agriculture assistance for Indiana farmers. That will include decisions about proceeding with requests for federal assistance as assessments are completed at the county level.

The Farm Service Agency needs an accurate account of the fields impacted by the storms in Indiana to determine if a request can be made to USDA. Farmers are encouraged to contact their local Farm Service Agency office and report their planted acres as soon as possible but no later than July 15.

Wabash County’s FSA office is located at 599 Bryan Ave. Its telephone number is 260-563-7468.

NM business, Grow Wabash County launch contest for new logo NORTH MANCHESTER — Grow Wabash County is partnering with KenapocoMocha to launch a logo design contest.

Located in North Manchester, Indiana, KenapocoMocha serves locally roasted coffee drinks along with made from scratch pastries, breakfast, and lunch items. Their mission is to focus on being a business that’s good

for the environment.

KenapocoMocha’s local coffee roaster believes in fair trade among all their coffee farms and is committed to relationship sourcing and holistic sustainability. Much of the produce and meat purchased daily

by KenapocoMocha is from local farms who pride themselves on being good stewards of their animals and land.

KenapocoMocha composts leftover food scraps, uses green cleaning products, and purchases coffee cups and other to go containers made

of rapidly renewable or sustainably produced materials that are compostable or are made of post-consumer materials.

“To say we are environmentally minded would be an understatement,” manager Amber White said.

“It’s a big part of who we are and what we do and we’d like our logo to reflect that in some way.”

Anyone with a creative eye and a passion for design may submit an innovative and professional logo concept. All ideas are welcome, but logos should be recogniza-

ble and help promote KenapocoMocha’s tagline “Eat Fresh.

Eat Local. Made from scratch.”

The creator of the winning logo will receive a prize package which includes: merchandise featuring the new logo, a specialty drink named after them with the opportunity to create their own new drink, and a $50 Grow Wabash County Gift Check.

To submit a design please e-mail White, at kenapocomochacoffee@gmail.com. The deadline for entries is Friday, July 19, 2019.

Recycling program in the containers.

“If your items are not on the signs or on the stickers on each bin, then it cannot be dropped off for recycling and will be considered illegal dumping,” Rankin said.

Items that can be placed in the bin include: Paper Clean cardboard.

Tape and labels should be removed, and all boxes should be flattened.

Plastics with number rankings of one through seven.

Aluminum.

Steel.

Food grade glass bottles and jars only.

The containers should be rinsed and metal lids should be removed.

Items that are not acceptable include Pizza boxes. (Pizza boxes are contaminated with grease and food particles, Rankin noted.)

No Pyrex baking dishes, drinking glasses, dishes, window glass or mirrors.

No Styrofoam, lawn furniture or equipment, toys, shelves, mini-blinds, plastic lumber of child car seats.

“To clarify,” Rankin said, “accidentally putting something in the bins or forgetting to take tape and labels off your boxes is different from intention-

The NFC ecosystem combines a simple, seven minute, high quality workout with connected, digital platforms to build fit communities through bodyweight circuit training, according to the city’s Facebook page.

The CreatINg Places program began in 2016, projects have raised in excel of $1,980,000 in public funds and an additional $1,693,000 in matching IHCDA funds.

The CreatINg Places program is available to projects located in Indiana communities. Nonprofit entities (with 501c3 or 501c4 status) and Local Units of Government are eligible to apply.

Eligible projects must have a minimum total development cost of $10,000.

Projects of up to $50,000 will be funded.

Items that can be placed in the recycling bin include: • Paper • Clean cardboard. Tape and labels should be removed, and all boxes should be flattened.

• Plastics with number rankings of one through seven.

• Aluminum.

• Steel.

• Food grade glass bottles and jars only. The containers should be rinsed and metal lids should be removed.

“These are just examples of what we are dealing with on a daily basis.”

Boxes should be broken down to take up less space in the bins, Rankin explained.

“When the bins have large intact boxes, recycling items that are placed on top of the boxes end up on the ground and all over the community,” she continued.

In addition, plastic grocery bags should

not be placed into the recycling bins, she continued.

“Please empty your recycling from plastic bags before placing them into the bin,” Rankin said.

The reason tape and labels should be removed is because recycling vendors need a pure and clean product for it to be marketable, she said.

“With the value of recycling plummeting worldwide, we need to do everything we can to provide a clean product,” Rankin said.

Contaminated recyclables cost the county about $6,600 per month.

“So, as you see, residents using the recy-

5

cling site as a trash dumping site have prohibited the district’s ability to afford remote locations,” Rankin said.

Several other items can be left at the district office during business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday).

Those items include chemicals, appliances, tires, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, waste oils and household and automotive batteries.

Absolutely no furniture or construction debris will be accepted at the drop site or the district office, Rankin said.

Rankin said she knows that people are

shocked that the remote recycling sites have been closed.

“But I’ve been warning every one for at least the last five years that if we don’t find a way to curb this contamination, it won’t be able to continue as it is, there will have to be changes to the program,” she said.

Contamination is a major problem with recycling programs here and throughout the United States.

“Not putting the right thing in that bin, not paying atten-

tion to how you’re doing it,” she said. “If you put a milk jug in there and that milk jug is dirty, that’s not recyclable, the reason being the recyclers don’t have a magic want to make all that waste go away. If they wash this product, they all of a sudden create waste water.

That waste water has to be dealt with environmentally, which is additional permitting and cost to that company. It can’t just be flushed. It can’t be drained out. It has to be handled as a hazard.”

Rankin reminded residents what the goal of the program.

“The district’s main mandate by the State of Indiana is to divert household hazardous waste from landfills,” she said.

“This includes appliances, mercury and mercury devices, lead, chemicals, paints, tires, electronics, batteries and other items which are harmful to human health and the

environment.

“The district also provides a full education program which is designed to provide knowledge of environmental issues to children and adults.

Recycling is only one small program and not the district’s main focus.”

Rankin invites those who think the district only provides a recycling program to visit the office and “see firsthand the many different programs the district provides for the residents of Wabash County.”

“You are also invited to come to the district and view our budget to see just how exceptionally expensive it is to properly and legally process these harmful chemicals and other materials, as well as running our simple recycling program.”

For more information on recycling, or to schedule a visit to the district office, call 260-563-7649.

The Saint Peter Church still has the windows and the church bell that didn’t sell. If anyone is interested you can call Pastor Larry Wade. There were several items that had a lot of nice memories for some.

I noticed one lady with tears in her eyes and I overheard her say, “I’m sorry to see that for sale, it is a true remembrance of mine.” There was also a lot of joy on some of the church people faces to see items from the old church building being sold to people who understood what a lot of the items meant and that they were going to be used and taken care of.

I found out from Pat McNabney what an antique chicken plucker looks like and how it is used. Believe me I felt sorry for the chickens. Pat placed a bid on it and won. The auction lasted until mid afternoon. By 5 p. m. the cars and trucks had all cleared out with their purchases.

Thanks to everyone who treaded the weather and to the Women’s Guild for supplying the food for lunch and everyone else who was involved in making the auction a success.

NM news NE Indiana named state’s first 21st Century Talent Region

9

...continued from Page 7

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The 11-county Northeast Indiana region was named the state’s first 21st Century Talent Region.

Gov. Eric Holcomb made the proclamation Thursday, June 20, at the Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana’s annual meeting. Blair Milo, Indiana Secretary of Career Connections and Talent, and Elaine Bedel, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, also were on hand for the presentation.

The designation encourages local governments, businesses, educational institutions, non-profits and economic and work force partners to create and implement a plan to increase educational attainment, raise household income and grow the population in a region.

By taking a comprehensive, systems approach, a participating region will identify strategic priorities and projects aimed at helping its communities create a better quality of place, develop and skill up its workforce, and connect talented Hoosiers with businesses seeking to fill high-demand, high-wage jobs.

Wabash resident Bill Konyha, President and CEO of the Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana, told

The Paper of Wabash County that officials have worked hard to improve the perception of the Regional Chamber as a “true regional organization.”

“We recognize that although Fort Wayne is the economic driver of the region, the entire region is critical to the success of all 11 counties in Northeast Indiana,” he said. “Our workforce commutes throughout the region.

The supply c h a i n s GOV. ERIC e x t e n d HOLCOMB throughout the region. The transportation network extends throughout the region and the business relations are all regional.”

Wabash County has the second most members in the Regional Chamber in positions of leadership and policy.

“Accordingly, Wabash County individuals have participated significantly in developing all aspects of creating the goals, objectives, met-

rics and policies of the 21st Century Talent Region,” Konyha said.

The designation is significant, he added, as it is “recognition by the highest elected officials in the state of our region’s ascendance as a leader in collaboration across geographic lines.”

“It means that our educators are collaborating with the business community to develop programs and skills to train the future workforce that chooses additional postsecondary education and skills training,” he continued. “This improves the long-term economic future of our students who choose a non-college avenue upon completion of high school. It aligns them with the skills that they need to move into a job market, ready to provide additional training that will result in certifications or credentialing of industry recognized skills. In some cases, the additional training may require two years to complete. Some may require considerably more.”

Konyha called the measure a stipe in “upskilling our workforce in preparation for 21st century jobs.

“It offers long-term workforce stability for the employers, long-term employability for the students who will enter the job market with 21st century skills and economic stability for our communities.”

July 4 means fireworks, fireflies Have you ever noticed the evening fireworks show in your yard that starts around the 4th of July every year?

Summer means fireworks and fireflies. It turns out that fireflies, also known as lightning bugs, are really neither flies nor bugs; they’re soft-bellied beetles – members of the family Lampyridae, which means “shining fire.”

Many of us spent our childhood evenings catching fireflies in a jar.

Fireflies, also known as lighting bugs, are really a type of beetle with a fantastic ability to make their posterior glow. There are many species of fireflies in the world and the light the adults produce can be yellow

Ask the Landscaper

By Leesa Metzger to red. In fact, one species of fireflies has 11 pairs of green lights on its thorax and a pair of red ones on its head; now that is a light show!

Edison must have been envious of fireflies.

When you watch a firefly you are witnessing a chemical reaction. A substance called luciferin is stored in the beetles light organ. The light organ has many air tubes in it along with

reflectors.

When oxygen and luciferin combine in the presence of enzymes, light is produced. The reflectors help to disperse the light.

Fireflies control the light by how much and how often they let oxygen into their light organs.

Now you may ask, “why do fireflies go to so much trouble?”

Finding a mate and finding food make the world go ‘round so that’s always a good

guess. Fireflies flash to attract a mate. And not just any mate but a mate of their same firefly species. The flash code is very specific to the species. They’re quite common in the United States, but only east of the Rocky Mountains.

They need a warm humid landscape and thrive in woodlands, fields, and grassy areas near lakes and streams.

The light they produce is created by a brief chemical reaction in a dedicated light organ, yellowish in color, located under the abdomen. The light is called “cold light” because virtually all of the energy consumed goes into light, not heat. The light communicates with other fireflies, mostly to attract mates. The show generally begins in early June, before the June 21 summer solstice which marks the

FIND US ON

beginning of summer.

It runs for about 30 minutes each night, starting around sunset.

Typically after sunset the male firefly patrols grassy areas while he flashes his code. The females hang out on low vegetation and if she is interested she flashes back the same signal.

After exchanging signals about five to ten times the male finds the female and then it’s “lights out.”

Adult fireflies eat small insects if they feed at all and they don’t bite people. The young fireflies live underground and don’t look anything like their parents.

Their spindle shaped bodies glow continuously and are often called glowworms.

Your landscape and garden contain creatures more fascinating than any science fiction story.

Take a moment to get away from the city lights to enjoy a real light show. If you share a fascination for fireflies consider joining a network of citizen scientists involved in Firefly Watch.

You can track and report on your own fireflies. The website also has a ton of great info on the biology of fireflies. https://www. mos.org/fireflywatch.

HOMETOWN TABLE

My relationship with rhubarb is well rooted in my childhood past thanks to my mom who was always hunting for “super” foods that could help improve her family’s health – an action considering well ahead of her time in the 1960s.

Eating it to appease my mom, but only when she prepared it in ways that made it palatable, I learned early on – through a sisterly dare - that raw rhubarb is much to tart for me and the thought of it would leave this little girl’s stomach in absolute knots!

However, the adult girl came to feel the same way as her mom and has had an almost annual tradition of seeking it out this time of year so that my family can also benefit from all the amazing things this fruit is offering.

Considered to be high in essential nutrients that possess many healthful attributes, one cup of rhubarb has been found to dramatically reduce tension also reduce stress causing inflammation, along with depression and anxiety.

The leafy fruit also contains magnesium and potassium that are essential to reducing stress levels, and as an added bonus, can also lower high blood pressure rates, too!

Offering a whopping 32 milligrams of fiber per cup pf fruit, adding rhubarb to your diet can also help you gain a reduction in your waistline and on the scale too, because fiber helps you feel full faster and also longer, which in turn causes less calories to be consumed.

Containing Lutein, which is essential for skin and eye health, rhubarb also contains amazing antioxidants, which help our body fight off certain diseases, promote a healthy immune system and prevent cardio vascular disease.

Adding just one cup of rhubarb to your day can dramatically lower your risk of developing certain cancers while also lowering your risk for developing dementia, prevent cartilage from deteriorating, and help prevent painful arthritis.

Thanks to its vitamins and nutrients, rhubarb also helps our skin look younger by stimulating healthy cell rejuvenation that brings about a brighter skin while also fighting off free radicals that cause several signs of aging to our skin.

Caring for us like an old friend, take advantage of shortseasoned rhubarb - especially if you’d like to feel like a kid again!

Here now are some stimulating ways to sip up some rhubarb rewards - ENJOY!

First-graders to lead a culture change in Wabash City

By Kyle Kelsheimer

Pigtails and Pokémon shirts attend Melva McLane’s firstgrade classroom at O.J. N e i g h b o u r ’ s Elementary School.

A young girl with royal purple glasses is wearing a turquoise shirt matched with butterfly sweatpants and ruby-red Dorothy slippers on her feet.

Facing her sits a young boy named Micah. He fidgets back and forth, readying himself for lift-off, in his miniature, maroon seat. He focuses on a pencil sitting atop his tan-colored 2 ½-foot by 2-foot desktop.

Micah slightly flicks the bottom of the pencil, descending it from the top of the slope, toward and off the bottom edge. The young boy quickly snatches it, saving it from its sure demise. He returns it for another journey.

“Clase! Clase!”

“Si! Si!” McLane stands in the front of the room near the whiteboard. She looks upon the class, split into two sections.

There are 21 desks in all. Five desks in each section pair directly across from another. A desk heads each section, facing McLane.

“Clase,” she says, “Vamos a practicar leyendo tus libros.”

Today is a special day for McLane. For the first time, her students are going to walk down to Señora Castaño’s kindergarten classroom and read to them… in Spanish.

Wabash City Schools is currently in its second year of its Spanish Dual Language Immersion program.

McLane’s class was the inaugural group. The current kindergarten class is their successor.

This program is one of a couple in the state of Indiana where students starting in kindergarten through high school have the opportunity to be taught in a bilingual setting.

Students who choose to partake in this program practice science, history, math, and reading half of the day in Spanish and the other half in a regular English setting. By the time this class gets to high school, they will have earned college credit toward a Spanish degree. By middle school, they will be fluent speakers of the language.

“Ahora, vamos a leerlo juntos… Uno… dos… tres…” she says.

At each desk sits a packet the students constructed as a small book, stapled together.

The title: “Burbujas de Chicle” (“Chewing Gum Bubbles”). They begin reading.

“Primero, el chico hizo una burbuja con su chicle. Luego, la burbuja de chicle se explota.

Al final, el chico se lava la cara.”

Their chorus fills the room. Each kid is completely engaged in the reading as McLane walks slowly back and forth between the two sections, leading the chant. Micah still fidgeting back and forth as he reads.

This is McLane’s 11th year teaching at O.J. Neighbours. It is her first as a Spanish teacher.

McLane was born in Havana, Cuba. After moving to the United States, she found she had little use for her native language other than communicating with her relatives.

“My brother and I still speak half in English and half in Spanish, and we just switch back and forth.

My mother gets mad at us, too,” she chuckled, as she imitated her mother, “‘En Espanol, por favor! En Espanol!”

When looking for someone to hire, McLane was an easy pick for the school system. She was the only Neighbor’s teacher with fluency in Spanish. Not only that, she was an excellent educator.

Constantly, McLane is directing and encouraging her students.

Just like any elementary class, there is a residing presence that at any moment the top is going to blow.

Of the many rules she has, there is one most crucial: No Ingles.

“Christian, en que foto tiene chicle el niño?” she asks kindly to a young boy with bleach-blonde hair sitting closest to her. His eyes stare down at his pamphlet through the strands of long, silky hair that curtain his vision. On the pamphlet are three different pictures of a cartoon boy who ends up bursting a bubble all over his face, causing him to clean it off.

“This one!”

Christian says, point-

ing to the first picture of the boy blowing up a gum bubble.

“No, en Espanol por favor.”

Christian pauses for a moment and then it comes to him.

“Es este,” he replies.

She smiles.

McLane’s students are currently reading at a second-grade level as first-graders in a foreign language. They are able to answer comprehension questions, as well as explain and understand secondgrade math problems in Spanish. Many students currently in the second grade have trouble doing this in English, let alone a language unspoken in the vast majority of their nation.

The best part: the students are excited about it.

Christian, the previous week for example, emphatically showed off a homemade, authentic baseball he had gotten from Cuba.

After much persistence to show off his treasure, McLane allowed him to go to the front of the class and introduce what he brought. The only (continued on page 18)

First-graders to lead a culture change in Wabash City...continued from page 17

catch… he had to say it in Spanish.

“What do I say again?” he whispered to his teacher as the class looked on. She bent down and whispered in his ear.

“Pelota de beisbol de Cuba!” yelled the young boy. “It’s a baseball all the way from Cuba!”

He made sure everyone in the room had their turn to touch the ball, allowing them to see a short glimpse of the far away land he and his classmates were learning about and longing to visit.

The classroom is filled with vibrant colors. Oranges and blues and greens congest the walls. A large blue mat lays dormant beside

the sections of desks.

On the outer rim of the mat are shapes and colors with labels all in Spanish, correlated with a letter from the Spanish alphabet. An “ñ” hovers above the “azul triángulo.”

On the window are three large paper-laminated Easter eggs and a question above it: Que hay dentro de los huevos?

A knock comes from the door. A young boy named Hunter peeks in the box windows to either side. A label that reads “puerta” is taped on the wooden frame.

These labels surround the room denoting various objects from “silla” (chair) to “ventana” (window) to “escritorio” (desk).

“Perfecto,” says McLane who walks toward the door. “Clase, alinea en la puerta por favor.”

The small desks and chairs begin to shuffle.

All the students motion toward the door and line up consecutively behind McLane as she opens it. The brown headed boy twists his way in the room and falls to the end of the line after grabbing his paper book from his desk.

“Esta bien, vamos. No hable.”

The line begins to move as the kids walk one after the other through the “puerta” and down the hallway, passing the other first and second-grade classrooms. At the end of

the hall, tucked in the corner above the classroom door, hung a blue sign reading “Mrs. Castańo.”

This is Seńora Castańo’s second year teaching dual language kindergarten at Wabash. A native of Spain, Castańo was sent to O.J. Neighbors as part of the Dual Language Immersion program. However, her stay in Wabash only lasts three years before she must return to Europe.

“We don’t really know what the program is going to look like in a couple years. It is just so hard finding good people who can speak Spanish who have a teaching background. We know they

are out there, but it isn’t always easy to attract them,” explains McLane.

Castańo meets McLane at the door as they briefly discuss their game plan.

“Vamos alli,” McLane motions to her students, pointing to the front of the room.

Another mat similar to the one in her room covers the floor. Much smaller kids sit in tiny desks surrounding it.

The first-graders quietly enter, as they head for the rug. McLane positions herself in the middle of the room, ready to partner the children together.

Today is the culmination of a year’s worth of preparation.

Every day the students practice reading words in Spanish with McLane, repeating and deciphering the language. A lot of hard work, failure, and success had let to this moment, and much of the same will follow. As kindergarteners, they were able to pick up a few words and phrases like “perro” (dog) and “gato” (cat) and “Como te llamas?” (What is your name?). Now, however, for the first time those former kindergarteners will sit down one-on-one with their former selves and comprehensively read to them in Spanish.

“Alex y… Lucy.”

A little girl with blonde hair and a pink bowtie nestled in her ponytail puts down her pencil and hesitantly follows Alex, an incredibly intelligent young

first-grade boy to the corner of the room next to Señora Castaño’s desk, under the instruction of McLane.

Pair after pair of kindergarteners and first-graders are coupled and sent around the room as McLane, Castaño, and the two classroom aides walk slowly around, supervising the process.

The girl with the red slippers sits next to her partner, a young kindergarten boy with curly brown hair and a batman shirt on.

Neither make eye contact as the young boy sits there, “Indianstyle,” looking off into space. The young girl completely divulged into the small paper book, reading softly to herself.

“Juntos.

Juntos.”

McLane says as she motions her hands together, indicating the need for interaction.

The two students look up as the girl points to each word on the page.

“Primero el cachorro escarba en el lodo….

Donde es el lodo?” the young girl asks, looking at the boy who hesitates, pointing to the picture of the dog.

“No,” says the young girl. “El lodo.”

The kindergartener hesitates again, but this time he has it. He points to the mud the dog is playing in.

“Perfecto!” says the young girl with a smile as she looks up to McLane, who warmly nods in affirmation.

Today is simply building the foundation

for tomorrow. By the time McLane’s firstgraders are in fourth grade they’ll be conceptualizing and constructing sentences regularly in Spanish.

By the end of middle school, these students will not only be fluent in Spanish, but “native speakers” with little to no Americanized accents.

“The goal is by the time they are in high school, they will have six college credits toward a Spanish language minor, and a Spanish professor teaching 300-level classes in their classrooms.

There isn’t anything set yet, but I would not be surprised if there is some sort of exchange program that is set up to where these students will be fully immersed into another culture.” said McLane.

“I think this will change our culture here in our community.

You’ll probably end up seeing kids speaking Spanish to each other down the street. Now how cool is that?”

As time ends, the first-graders rise and wave back to their reading partner with a smile. They will see them next Thursday for another round. Quickly and quietly, they line up behind McLane, as her warm voice mentions something about recess.

Giddy, the students exit the room, passing the American flag hanging softly beside the door.

Forks of the Wabash official to speak NORTH MANCHESTER – On Monday, July 8, the NM Historical Society will host Elizabeth Sanders, President of the Historic Forks of the Wabash, as she presents a program on the Forks of the Wabash and the settlement located in Huntington.

The program will be held in the Assembly Room at T i m b e r c r e s t

Retirement Center, 2201 East Street, at 6:30 p.m. It is open to the public at no cost and will be enjoyable for audiences of all ages.

Sanders serves as president of the board of directors as well as providing presentations as an interpreter and guide at the settlement. The mission of the Forks of the Wabash organization is to share the

story of how the various cultures, from Miami Indians to the European settlers, met at the junction of the various tributaries entering the Wabash River and later the Wabash and Erie Canal.

The Forks of the Wabash is important because it is where the last Miami Chiefs, Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville and Chief Francis

Lafontaine, met with the American government to negotiate a series of treaties between 1834 and 1840 which ultimately led to the Miami people leaving the area by 1845. On this site is the house that Chief Richardville had built specifically to host these events during the annual Tribal Councils held by the Miami.

The Miami people

had their annual conference at the Forks of the Wabash for several hundred years.

During that period, they became integrated with the European community and were able to achieve wealth and receive an education that eluded many other American Indian groups. It was a credit to the negotiating skills of Chief Frances Lafontaine that many of the

Miami were able to maintain their presence in Northeastern Indiana.

“The Forks of the Wabash” program will be the first in an ongoing series of programs made possible through a grant from Indiana Humanities in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Center for History to host traveling exhibit

By The Paper staff

NORTH MANCHESTER — North Manchester Center for History will host “Freedom: A History of US,” one of the Indiana Historical Society’s (IHS’s) traveling exhibits, from July 11 – August 16, 2020. The exhibit, which includes notable collections of American documents and photographs, will be on display at the Center for History located at 122 E Main Street, North Manchester.

Visitors to the exhibit can view personal letters, documents and broadsides from the Gilder Lehrman Collection.

The collection, widely considered one of the nation’s great archives in the Revolutionary, antebellum and Civil War periods, was previously unavailable to the public.

Other highlights of the panel exhibit include a rare 1776 printing of the Declaration of

Independence, a secretly printed draft and official copy of the U.S. Constitution, Lincoln’s handwritten notes of speeches, and letters by leading figures such as Frederick Douglas,

Susan B. Anthony and others.

With support from GE, six traveling freedom exhibits toured 20 U.S. cities in 2003.

After the tour ended, IHS was chosen as the permanent home for

one of the traveling exhibits.

Alber Street work enters final phase Work on the next phase of the Alber Street project began Monday.

That phase will stretch from John Kissinger Drive to U.S. 24.

Officials at Parkview Wabash Hospital are offering the following tips to those trying to access the hospital

– turn south on Wabash Street (sign for the Church of Christ at Wabash marks the intersection) then proceed a short distance to the hospital campus entrance at John Kissinger Drive and turn right.

• From the south, toward east side of

campus: Head north from downtown Wabash on Wabash Street, turning west (left) onto John Kissinger Drive at the Parkview Wabash Hospital sign.

• From the south, toward west side of campus: Head north from down-

Time to replace old wiring?

From Metro Creative Graphics

Old homes can be charming and contain architectural

elements not often seen in many modern housing developments. But what older homes may have in design

appeal, they may lack in updated features.

While cosmetic changes are not necessarily difficult,

one area of concern in historic homes — and sometimes even in houses built 40 or 50 years ago — is archaic wiring.

Wiring provides power to every room of the home. In today’s electronicsdriven society, electricity that works is an essential component of daily life.

Over time, wiring can be compromised through simple aging, pest infiltration, weather, or other conditions.

Time to replace old wiring? can present a shock hazard and also a serious fire hazard, warn the home renovation experts at The Spruce.

Furthermore, the home improvement site This Old House advises that the amperage of old wiring may not be able to meet the needs of the devices used in homes — overpowering the circuits. This can cause breaker blowouts and other problems, such as overheated wires that may spark and cause fires from within the wall.

Wiring often falls into the “out of sight, out of mind” c a t e g o r y .

Homeowners may make allowances for inadequate electrical systems, such as running extension cords or using multiplug connectors to increase their wiring capacity.

However, they may not be diligently keeping on top of upgrades needed to stay safe.

Confirming that a home’s electrical system is safe is a necessary part of home maintenance.

For those who haven’t already done so, schedule an inspection with a licensed electrician to go over the home’s wiring. He

or she can determine if any areas pose a safety risk and/or do not conform to local code requirements and the National Electrical Code.

Failure to meet code can lead to difficulty obtaining permits to make other home renovations, or difficulty selling a home later on.

Additional outlets, including GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, may be part of the plan, as well as rewiring a fuse box or circuit panel to allow for better flow of power around the house.

Frayed wiring or underinsulated wiring also may need to be replaced.

Benefits of freestanding tubs From Metro Creative Graphics

Few home design elements provide the instant wow factor of freestanding tubs.

Freestanding tubs have an air of luxury that can help current homeowners relax, and impress buyers when homes go on the market.

Freestanding tubs are typically made of cast iron or porcelain.

The home improvement website HomeAdvisor notes that cast iron is durable and solid and retains heat well, which is great for those who want to spend more than a little time relaxing in a freestanding tub.

However, because cast iron is so heavy, installing a cast iron tub may require structural reinforcement of the flooring, which will add to the overall cost of the project.

According to HomeAdvisor, the average cost to install a tub varies widely depending on the type of tub, the materials its made of and other factors, including plumbing and piping.

For example, the cost to install a freestanding tub will rise connew siderably if

of their cost at resale.

That was a better return on investment than an upscale kitchen remodel (53.5 percent) and an upscale master suite addition (48.3 percent). The thought of a sizable return on

Freestanding tubs can transform regular bathrooms into luxurious oases. plumbing and piping are necessary.

Before purchasing a freestanding tub, homeowners should seek estimates regarding installation, making sure to get them in writing.

Contractors will determine if structural reinforcement is necessary and include such costs in their estimates. In addition, make sure to ask contractors to investigate piping and plumbing so no surprises pop up after the tub has been purchased and work has begun.

If estimates from contractors aren’t budget busting, homeowners can consider

these benefits of freestanding tubs before making their final decisions.

• Cleaning: Because they’re detached from other bathroom fixtures and not flush against the wall, freestanding tubs tend to be easier to clean than built-in bathtubs.

Freestanding tubs are

accessible from all sides, making it easy to reach all those nooks and crannies where grime can build up.

• Return on investment: In its 2018 “Cost vs. Value” report, Remodeling magazine noted that upscale bathroom remodels recouped 56.2 percent

investment can make relaxing in a freestanding tub that much more enjoyable.

• Warmth: Even freestanding tubs made of materials other than cast iron offer great heat retention. Stone resin bath-

tubs, for example, provide excellent insulation on cold nights.

That’s ideal for people who want to unwind in the tub without having to exit early because the water has become cold.

Quick and simple ways to make a front door pop From Metro Creative Graphics Visitors’ impressions of a home are often dictated by the home’s entryway.

Must as one may judge a book by its cover, the same can be said about the impression that a front door and entryway can create, regardless of how accurate that impression is.

Making certain changes to an entryway can go a long way toward improv-

ing curb appeal.

Entryways also can set the scene for a home’s interior.

Whether one chooses to be classic or bold, modern or traditional, there are various ways to quickly transform a home’s entryway.

complement the other shades of the home, such as those on siding and trim.

• Custom walkway: Guide guests right to the front door with an attractive (and safe) walkway.

Stamped concrete or decorative paver blocks may fit the bill. This walkway can extend to the street or to the driveway.

• Contain plants.

Landscaping around the entryway should be neat and well-tended. Overgrown plants or shrubbery may give off an air of neglect. Container plants and carefully curated shrubs can create a neat and inviting aura.

• Highlight the address. Make sure the home can be found easily with bold and decorative house numbers.

Consider two different address signs: one illuminated and easily viewed from the curb, and another closer to the front door.

• Utilize high-end materials. The relatively small area of real estate by the front door enables homeowners to splurge on more opulent materials that can really add a feeling of luxury. These can include colorful tiles, ornate planters, decorative wooden doors, or elaborate knobs and lighting fixtures.

• Add architectural details. Find out which architectural elements will meld with the style of the home and then incorporate them.

Moldings, columns, shutters, and trim are areas to consider.
