Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Haag named 2016 Distinguished Citizen By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Joan Haag likes her candy. As a youngster, every time the family would stop for gas on a cross-country car trip to California, she would always go into the gas station under the guise of needing to use the facility. In actuality, she was craving a candy bar. After several of these “bathroom trips,” Haag’s father, Jim Vice, told the family that no one was to leave the car on the next gas stop. However, she insisted she needed to use the facility, and her father eventually relented. Of course, she headed straight to the candy counter and he bought her candy.

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Former Wabash resident Jimmy Daywalt will be honored Saturday, Oct. 29, during a ceremony at the Wabash County Historical Museum. Daywalt was the 1953 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year. The Indiana Racing Memorial Association will unveil a marker honoring Daywalt for his accomplishments in motorsports. The ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. with Indianapolis Motor Speedway broadcaster Howdy Bell serving as emcee. IMS Historian Donald Davidson also is expected to attend, as is Daywalt’s son, Jimmy Daywalt Jr. (continued on page 27)

Over the years, Brandt’s HarleyDavidson has been actively involved in the City of Wabash. On Thursday, Oct. 20, the efforts of the Brandt family and it’s employees were honored when the business was named the 2016 Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year during the Chamber’s 75th annual dinner. The presentation was just one of several presentations made during the evening, which also saw longtime Mike Brandt addresses the crowd at the 2016 Wabash County Chamber of Wabash City Council member Joan Commerce Dinner while Leila Knoblock looks on.

State OKs Early Learning Center funding By The Paper staff

NORTH MANCHESTER – The Indiana Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation (IEDC) has approved Regional Cities Initiative funding to support the relocation of the Manchester Early Learning Center to a new, larger facility, allowing the organization to serve more students and families in northeast Indiana. The Early Learning Center will receive $520,000 in state funding toward its $2.6 million price tag. Currently, the Manchester Early Learning Center has a waitlist of at least 145 children seeking

early childhood education options for children ages eight weeks to 12 years old. The new facility, which is being supported through the Regional Cities Initiative, will help alleviate current capacity restraints, allowing more working families access to early childhood education and care in Wabash County. As a part of this expansion, the center also plans to double its staff, creating more quality employment opportunities in northeast Indiana. “As Indiana’s economy continues to grow, our state’s future hinges on attracting and retaining top talent to our state,” Gov.

Mike Pence said. “Through the Regional Cities Initiative, we are seeing unprecedented collaboration between communities to create and implement long-term quality-ofplace plans tailored to their local needs and focused on improving the everyday lives of Hoosiers. This new facility will allow the Manchester Early Learning Center to expand its reach, ensuring that more Hoosier families have access to child care while providing an educational jumpstart for our next generation.” Early Learning

Old German School to host event By The Paper staff

An autumn gathering at the Old German School is planned for Sunday evening, Oct. 30. The program will feature a mix of music, James Whitcomb Riley poems and local ghost stories. The program begins at 6:30 p.m. and the public is invited. The German School was constructed in 1887 by members of the St. Paul’s German Evangelical Synod to provide area youth with religious instruction in the German language. After falling into disrepair the building has been restored and now contains exhibits which tell the story of the German settlement which once existed in the area.

Ford Meter Box inducted into Indiana Manufacturers HOF By The Paper staff The Ford Meter Box Co. was among the first Indiana companies to be inducted in the newly created I n d i a n a Manufacturers Hall of Fame. The company received the honor Oct. 19, 2016, when manufacturers, business leaders, and policymakers from across the state met in Indianapolis to honor those companies that have made outstand-

ing contributions to the development of a healthy, dynamic environment in Indiana, and to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall economic well-being. According to I n d i a n a Manufacturers Association (IMA) President Brian B u r t o n , â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manufacturing is one of the main drivers of Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, representing 30 percent of Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gross domestic product. Ford Meter Box is a perfect example of a

company that has not only demonstrated its long-term dedication to Indiana manufacturing, but also through its continued support of the IMA, with its overarching goal to protect, support, and grow manufacturing,â&#x20AC;? according to Indiana Manufacturers Association President Brian Burton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased to induct The Ford Meter Box Company, Inc. into our Indiana Manufacturers Hall of Fame in this inaugu-

Company president Steve Ford commented that credit for such an honor should accrue to prior generations who persevered during the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 118 year history and to those who continue to build products and offer manufacturing support today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a time when job related dialogues in the public square seem to emphasize a knowledge economy over a manufacturing economy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gratifying to see that the two

arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mutually exclusive in Indiana,â&#x20AC;? Ford added. The Hall of Fame Luncheon was keynoted by former Indiana Governor and current Purdue University President Mitch Daniels.

Truss named to VFW position Duane Truss, a longtime member of the Wabash VFW Post No.286, was recently named National Aidede-Camp to Commander-in-Chief Brian Duffy. Truss was recommended for the honorary appointment by Jerry Blake, Department of Indiana VFW commander, for his “outstanding service to posts and/or your department, going above and beyond the call of duty,” according to the letter he received.

Board of Works halts demolition of 2 homes By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Two Wabash homes have been spared from demolition. The Wabash Board of Works and Public Safety on Thursday, Oct. 20, heard a progress report from Terry and Josh Mullett on a structure at 990 Pike St. The Mulletts said they have contracted with a company to repair the roof at the site, and are beginning to work themselves to repair other aspects of the home. They also have started cleaning the yard and hope to have it totally clean soon. Terry Mullett also said that they have about half the siding they need to reside the home. But, he added, he wouldn’t

promise that the siding could be finished until after the first of the year because of weather. The board ordered the Mulletts to return at the Nov. 16 meeting to provide a progress report. Meanwhile, the board rescinded a demolition order for a home at 107 Walnut St. A local resident, Armando Guerrero, offered to purchase the house from the city with plans on refurbishing it. Earlier this year he saved another home on Cass Street from demolition by repairing the structure. City Attorney Randi Zimmerman Irgang told the board that she is in the process of researching what needs to be done to allow the city to sell the home to

Guerrero. While those two structures were saved from demolition, another structure was ordered razed by the board. An apartment complex owned by Brad and April Eberly, 92 E. Hill St., was ordered demolished following an unsafe building hearing. B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens told the board that the structure had windows and doors that were open and that it was deteriorated beyond habitation. He also called the structure a fire hazard, noting that at one point the roof leaked and the water was going near light fixtures and fans in the home. “It was just a fire waiting to happen at that time,” he said.

Program to focus on early childhood impact By The Paper staff MARION – The first few years of childhood are critical to a young person’s entire life. The experiences children have in those early years set them on a trajectory that can lead to successes or set them up to face extra challenges. Science and research show how important early interaction is for children. It affects them physically, mentally, socially and academically. That’s why the Indiana Youth Institute

(IYI) and Family Service Society, Inc. are hosting a special community event for parents, teachers, community leaders, youth workers and other caring adults to learn more about the important role those early childhood years play in lives of Hoosier children. The event will feature a free movie screening and panel discussion. It will run from 3 to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10, at the Globe Theater at Indiana Wesleyan

University, 4201 South Washington Street in Marion. Attendees will see the first installment in the five-part series “The Raising of America: Early Childhood and the Future of Our Nation.” This documentary will explore the issue of why so many children in America are faring poorly, what the consequences are for the nation and how to make improvements and set children on a better path. Following the film,

attendees will participate in a panel discussion led by Alicia Hazelwood, executive director of the United Way of Grant County. The panel will include: Kresha Warnock, the president of the Indiana Association for the Education of Young Children and instructor at Ball State University’s department of family and consumer services, Liz Strong, a teacher at Westview Elementary School in the Mississinewa Community School

Corporation, and Amanda Lopez, the president of Transform Consulting Group. The panel will discuss how to reframe the way we look at early child health and development, as well as how each community can make a difference for its children. As part of IYI’s Youth Worker Café program, the event and snacks are free, but reservations are required. RSVP at www.iyi.org/ywc..

Easy projects to winterize the home From Metro Creative Graphics If boots, a warm hat and a tuned-up snow blower are the only items on your winter preparation list, your home maintenance plan may need a makeover. These simple home maintenance

projects can help lower your energy bills, prevent more costly repairs and/or increase the lifespan of your home. 1. Heating & Ventilation — Examine your fireplace and chimney system to ensure that no soot or creosote has

collected. Any cracks or voids could potentially cause a fire. Before you turn the furnace or boiler on, replace the air filter and hire a professional to inspect the unit more thoroughly. These steps will improve the efficiency and life of your fur-

nace and will ensure stable indoor air quality. 2. Seal Windows and Doors — If not properly sealed, windows and doors can be a major culprit for heat loss. To keep the warm air inside, inspect the weather-stripping around your home’s windows and doors for leaks, rot or decay. Repair or replace structural framing, and caulk inside and out, if necessary. 3. Insulate well —

One of the easiest and most effective defenses against heat loss is proper insulation. Prevent cold drafts from entering and the loss of heated air through basement headers, which, when left exposed, can make your furnace work harder. Look for a moisture-resistant product offering high thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt insulation. This type of mineral wool insulation

makes installation simple. All that’s needed is a serrated blade or bread knife. Cut the batt to fit the cavity and press into place. The insulation will help improve energy efficiency as soon as it’s in place and provide savings over the lifetime of your home. Comfortbatt can also be used to top or replace old attic insulation. Aim for an R-50 or a depth of 16 inches. 4. Backyard Care — Save your property from potential damage by trimming overgrown trees and shrubs to prevent iceladen branches from thrashing against electrical wires and your home’s exterior. Drain/shut off any exterior faucets and sprinkler systems to prevent freezing.

Ensure rain or snow drains away from the house to avoid foundation problems. 5. Roof and Gutters — Inspect your roof for shingles that are warped, damaged or even missing to prevent a future leak. Use roofing cement and a caulking gun to seal joints where water could penetrate, such as around the chimney, skylights or vent pipes. Make sure that your gutters and downspouts are securely fastened. Downspouts should extend at least five feet away from the home to prevent flooding. When it comes to preventative maintenance, a little time and effort can save thousands in energy costs and repair bills over the lifetime of your home.

From Metro Creative Graphics Upon the arrival of winter, people in regions where winter is marked by cold weather tend to spend significantly more time indoors. Because windows tend to be closed during winter, indoor air quality can suffer, making conditions inside a home less than desirable. According to the American Lung Association, poor air circulation in a home can promote the spread of bacteria and viruses. Once such bacteria or viruses are inhaled, coughs, colds and flu can spread. In addition, asthma and allergy sufferers may experience worsening symptoms thanks to the presence of endotoxins, which are substances that come from the broken-down cells of dead bacteria. Because many people spend significantly more time indoors during winter than other times of the year, it’s essential that they take measures to improve indoor air quality in the months ahead. • Cut back on chemicals. It’s ideal to avoid heavy chemical usage inside a home throughout the year, but it’s especially important to do so during winter. Solvent-based cleaners or cleaning products with strong fragrances can negatively affect indoor air quality and potentially trigger allergic reactions. In lieu of chemically-enhanced cleaning products, use natural products that get the job done without sacrificing indoor air quality. • Stop smoking indoors. Tobacco smoke can affect smokers and nonsmokers alike. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that secondhand smoke causes numerous

health problems in infants and children. Those include more frequent and severe asthma attacks and respiratory infections. In addition, reports from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have linked secondhand smoke to an increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Adults exposed to second-

hand smoke are at greater risk for coronary heart disease, stroke and lung cancer. Tobacco smoke contains thousands of pollutants that can greatly diminish indoor air quality, so make sure smokers limit their smoking to outside the home throughout the year, but especially during winter. • Take off your

shoes when entering the home. Snowy conditions often require a home’s inhabitants and guests to remove their footwear upon entering a home, but it helps to remove footwear in a mudroom or just inside the front door when entering a home even when it’s not snowing. Shoes can pick up dirt, dust and a host of other parti-

Transform spaces into cozy retreats From Metro Creative Graphics

Cool weather often drives people to spend more hours indoors than they do during the warmer months. Autumn is a time to winterize gardens, put away lawn furniture and prepare for the holiday season. Autumn also provides the perfect opportunity to begin home interior projects. Many people decide to redecorate their homes to reflect each season. When temperatures change, it’s time to transition from the light colors and breezy fabrics symbolic of summer to thicker, darker materials that evoke coziness. With some inspiration and a little knowhow, any homeowner or apartment dweller

can cozy up a space in time for fall and winter. • Invest in area rugs. While wood floors can look beautiful and work well with many different design styles, wood can feel chilly underfoot. Thick area rugs add warmth to a room and can help it look more lived-in. Area rugs also help a room appear more cohesive, coordinating with other colors in a space and providing a visual border. • Practice layering in rooms. An affordable and relatively easy way to make a room seem more cozy is to layer fabrics and other accents. Layers can include throws and blankets. Remove place mats from the dining room table and use them on accent tables or an ottoman

in the living room. Table runners also can add a splash of color to the top of bedroom dressers. • Play with texture. Look for fabrics that boast texture and can add a tactile feel to spaces. When used on throw pillows or small accents, faux fur can create that cozy cabin feel. Draperies made from nubby fabrics or those with grooves and ridges can add dimension to a room as well. Even a lampshade made of an unusual fabric, such as a waffle-patterned material, can add a little depth and warmth to a space. • Reevaluate your lighting. Lighting a space is more than just flipping on a switch. Finding the right balance of lighting fixtures can

instantly transform the feel of a room. Create more warmth and a cozy feel by switching out bulbs from cooler shades to warmer ones — those that give off yellow and pink hues rather than cool blues. Accent lighting helps establish a comfortable space for curling up and reading a good book. Spot lighting, such as fixtures that are trained on artwork or inside of a curio or china cabinet, also can set a

more welcoming mood. • Install a bookshelf and start a book collection. Piles and stacked books can add warmth to any space. Books evoke the hallowed halls of schools and quiet nooks in the library. Fill shelves with books interspersed with additional design accents, and you will instantly make a room feel more inviting. • Choose dark paint. Do not feel nervous about incorporating

deeper shades in rooms. Dark colors give rooms a more enclosed feel than lighter colors, and that can create a warm and cozy feeling. This works particularly well in larger spaces that feel vast and empty. If you’re scared to paint all of your walls, try a darker shade below a chair rail or just paint one accent wall. • Add architectural elements. Think about adding rich moldings to crown the

ceilings or to frame doorways. If you have the space for a nook, create a window seat beneath a picture window or add a bench and cushions in a corner for a nice escape spot. Use the colder weather as an opportunity to reinvent some of the rooms in your home. With paint, texture, fabric, lighting, and more, rooms can be quickly transformed into cozy respites from the cold.

Prepare fireplace, stoves for season From Metro Creative Graphics Fireplaces and woodburning stoves not only can be beautiful focal points within a home, but they also provide an additional source of heat and can be used to keep rooms or entire homes comfortable without the need for additional and potentially costly heating sources. Just like more modern home heating systems, stoves and fireplaces need to be maintained, and that maintenance includes readying them before winter when they are used more heavily. Ensuring a fireplace or stove is in good working order helps to guarantee efficiency of use and safety during the winter months. Open-flame heating sources carry with them certain risks. The National Fire Protection Association states that, between 2009-2013, American fire departments responded to 56,000 home structure fires that involved heating equipment. The NFPA notes that the leading factor contributing to home-heating fires is a failure to keep things clean, principally from solid-fueled heating equipment. The following are a handful of ways to stay safe as you get ready for another cozy season around the fire. • Start with the chim-

Prepare fireplaces, chimneys and heating stoves for another season of regular use. Photo courtesy of Metro Creative Graphics ney. Begin by having your chimney thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Creosote can build up inside of the chimney. Creosote is highly flammable and becomes more difficult and expensive to clean the longer it builds up inside your flue lining. In addition, animals may have created nest inside of the chimney since the last time the fireplace was used. A professional chimney sweep should be hired in this situation. He or she will be able to effectively clean the chimney in a manner that is the least messy and disruptive to residents. • Install or check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Operational alarms are essential to preventing injury or death resulting from smoke or carbon monoxide inhalation. Such detectors are

inexpensive safeguards that should be installed on every floor of the house. Batteries should be replaced every six months, and the alarms themselves should be changed every five to 10 years. • Inspect the chimney from outdoors as well. Inspect the mortar around any bricks in the chimney and surrounding areas for cracks. If left unaddressed, these can cause dangerous fires. If there are serious cracks, a professional may need to make repairs or the chimney may need to be replaced. You also can have the chimney capped with a screen to keep animals and debris from entering. • Inspect the damper. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a chimney. It

should be checked prior to the first use of a stove or fireplace so homeowners can be certain it opens and closes smoothly. • Clear out flammable items. Move flammable items away from the front of a fireplace or stove. Be sure curtains or other home furnishings are far enough away that they will not catch fire from any errant sparks or flames. • Order wood now. Be sure there is plenty of wood for the season. Ask a wood supplier to estimate just how much will be needed, and double-check that the wood will arrive in time for the start of the season. By preparing for fireplace and wood stove use now, homeowners can ensure their winters are comfortable and safe.

Protect pipes from freezing this winter From Metro Creative Graphics Freezing pipes are a concern for homeowners who live in cold climates. When temperatures dip below freezing, the risk that pipes will freeze rises. Should a pipe burst, the damage that results can be extensive and costly. Any pipe can freeze, but those that are directly exposed to the cold are the most vulnerable. These include pipes that feed outdoor hoses, swimming pool supply lines, pipes in unheated indoor rooms (i.e., basements or garages), and any pipes that run close to the outdoors through uninsulated walls. Water expands as it freezes, and that expansion can place

pressure on whatever is trying to contain it — including pipes. To avoid serious damage, homeowners need to prepare for the arrival of colder weather and be smart about how they protect pipes. • Drain water from swimming pools and water sprinkler supply lines prior to the onset of cold weather. Drain water before freezing temperatures arrive, and don’t forget to drain outdoor garden hoses and store them inside after watering season has come and gone. • Close indoor water valves that feed outdoor spigots/bibs. Open the spigot outside to allow water to drain out. Keep the outside valve open so that any water that has accumulated will

continue to drain and expand outward without damaging the pipe. An insulated bib dome also can help prevent frozen pipes. • Open cabinet doors to allow heat to reach pipes inside of cabinets. Keep the doors open to spaces that may not be heated or insulated as well as other areas of the home so that heat can find its way inside. Consider wrapping these pipes with an insulating material as well, such as heat tape or pipe sleeves. • Maintain a consistent thermostat temperature. Ensure the temperature inside your home does not drop below 55 F; otherwise, problems can arise. Use a programmable thermostat to keep the house comfortable even when

you are not home. Individuals who are traveling should set the thermostat so that it will keep the home at the recommended temperature to avoid frozen pipes. • Open one faucet. When it is very cold outside, particularly at night, let water slowly drip from one faucet to prevent freezing. Choose the sink that is furthest from where water enters the house so water is flowing through all of the pipes to reach that faucet. • Increase insulation around where pipes enter the house. Use insulating foam to seal any drafts where pipes enter the house from the outdoors. Frozen pipes cannot always be avoided.

There are ways to protect your pipes from freezing in the winter. Photo courtesy of Metro Creative Graphics Therefore, it is important that everyone in the household knows

how to shut off the main water valve in the event a pipe

bursts. This can prevent expensive damage to a home.

Better yet, invest in a programmable thermostat so you don’t have to give it a second thought. 2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Cracks and gaps around windows and doors can let cold drafts into your home. Weather-stripping or caulking will seal these problem areas and keep your home warmer, without having to turn up the heat. 3. Insulate well to protect your home from the cold.

bright fall or winter day. If there are any large windows in your home that don’t receive much sunlight, keep the curtains closed to form a barrier from the cold. 5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise. The blades will pull the air up and around,

redirecting warm air that rises back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermostat by two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as

the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. There are many no- or low-cost methods to conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time.

Roann seeks help to raze old school By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

The old school facility outside the Town of Roann may be one step closer to demolition. Re presentatives from the town attended the Oct. 24 meeting of the Wabash County Commissioners to ask for assistance in applying for Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) grants to cover the

costs of the project. “I want you to be a partner with the Town of Roann,” ClerkTreasurer Bob Ferguson said. “If you get something from OCRA, we’ll help,” Commissioners Scott Givens said. “It is a topic that we have thought of many times over the past several years,” Chairman Barry Epply said. “I think we stand ready to participate in the

process. The question becomes, what is the best path to follow?” Ferguson informed the commissioners of a variety of issues with the property that constitute a public safety hazard. These included a number of holes by which trespassers may gain entry to dangerous areas of the building. “It is not only an eyesore; it is a public haz(continued on page 22)

Local Church Women United to celebrate World Community Day By The Paper staff Church Women United of Wabash will celebrate World Community Day at the Wabash Christian Church on Friday, Nov. 4. A time of fellowship with coffee and pastries will begin at

9 a.m. with worship service to follow at 9:30 a.m. The bicentennial theme is “We Are God’s Hands” and the November theme is “Sharing Gifts at the Table,” so the group will prepare boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

Information about items to put in boxes is available at samaritanspurse.org. Women are asked to bring a shoebox and items for the box. Wrapping paper will be provided. All women in the Wabash area are invited to attend.

Church Women United is an international volunteer Christian ecumenical movement that brings together women of diverse races, cultures, and traditions in closer Christian fellowship, prayer, advocacy, and action for peace and

One point of concern was whether the town could receive multiple grants from OCRA, as they currently have a $400,000 grant from the office for drinking water system improvements. Ferguson assured the commissioners that OCRA has confirmed that they can receive multiple grants. The current stumbling block for the project is ownership of the property. County Attorney Steve Downs informed the town’s representatives of their options. The property is cur-

rently in the name of the Roann Family Recreation Center, a defunct organization. A court-appointed receiver holds the title. Downs said the town could restart the organization, or get a court order requiring the title to be transferred to the town. “I think you need to conclude the receivership and get title of the property in someone’s name,” he said. Ferguson asked that the town and the county become joint owners of the property. The commissioners decided to take the issue under advisement in order to consult with

Downs, and told Ferguson to pursue grant options in the meantime. In other news, the commissioners approved an ordinance to make modifications to the weight limits of three county bridges. Ordinance 85-10-2016 makes the following changes: the bridge over Bechtold Ditch on 300 E, just north of 1100 N, is now posted at 15 tons; the posting was removed from the bridge on 900 N just east of 500 E; and the bridge located on 1200 S just east of 600 W spanning Cart Creek was reduced to 12 tons.

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com After taking gold at prelims two weeks ago, the Manchester Jr.-Sr. High Squire Band took the field at Lawrence Central High School on Saturday, Oct. 22, for ISSMA Scholastic Class Finals. While the full official results are not publicly available, the band’s season ended at Lawrence Central outside of the top five positions. Before their final performance, however, the Squires had two weeks to prepare and improve after receiving gold at the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) Scholastic Class B Prelims on Saturday, Oct. 8. “The students improved a lot of things this past week and most of it showed up on the field,” Director Jeff Huber said Oct. 8. “We have a lot of work to put in on the third movement. It is our most challenging part of the show musically and visually, so it needs extra work. ““The staff will review the recording of the performance and judge’s comments to tailor the next two weeks rehearsals. We will work on improving all aspects of the show, but focus on key areas that will improve our performance the most.” After an intense performance, the band exited the field and gathered outside the fence on the visitor’s side to await the awards ceremony where drum majors Keauna Allen and Lexi Webb and guard captain Sarah Adamiec carried the trophy back to the bus. This is the third year the band has advanced to Scholastic Class Finals in the four years since ISSMA

In order to prepare for the season, the band began learning their show before classes began. “The students learned the first two movements of the

show in band camp in early August,” Huber said. From there, the students practiced for nearly three hours every Tuesday and Thursday to improve the first two movements and learn the third. They also learned and performed a pregame show for home football games, and performed their competition show at half-

NORTH MANCHESTER — The Zion Speakers Series continues in October with Father Patrick Conroy, S.J., the Chaplain of the United States House of Representatives. Members of the Speakers Series Committee are pleased that Father Conroy has accepted an invitation to visit less than two weeks before one of the

FATHER PATRICK CONROY, S.J. presidential election. At 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. ober 29, Father

Conroy will share the journey which brought him to his current responsibilities with government leaders. His presentation is titled “Vocation of Chaplain in a Political World.” Organizers asked him to describe his role and the challenges he faces – especially as a spiritual leader and influence amongst, literally and figuratively, a “house divided.” What is a typical

day? How does he bring Christian values to his role while navigating the differing opinions among his congregants? At 9 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 30, Father Conroy will deliver the sermon, “Bonds of Faith Bringing Mercy to the World.” This message is especially timely because that day is the start of a year-long celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. In addition, the ELCA

The local chapter includes members from Grant, Huntington, Wabash, and Whitley Counties. President Roxanne Thomas opened the meeting, welcoming members and guests. A buffet breakfast was enjoyed by the members. Susan Keefer from Wabash and Jessica Scheckler from Columbia City were initiated as new members of the society. Myra Schmidt of Columbia City was reinstated as a member of the chapter. Holly Elwood, who teaches at Park Side Elementary in LaGrange, presented the program for the day. Her program was “Community

Learning United by Books” as she discussed activities that she uses in reading clubs at her school, involving high ability third graders, all fourth and fifth graders. The clubs are student-focused as they help choose their books for reading, they have time for independent reading and working on assignments, but then come together to share their feelings, thoughts and observations about what they have read. Students help each other as they share what they have learned from their reading. In chapter business, the minutes of the March meeting and the treasurer’s report were approved as presented. Various committee reports were shared. Reports from the International Convention, held in June in Nashville, Tennessee were presented by Carol Herzog, Carol Winterholter, Karen

Kinney, Barbara Buroker, and Roxanne Thomas. Carol Herzog will serve on the international nominating committee for the next four years. The Alpha Zeta newsletter received 5-Star recognition. Janet Vesa was congratulated for helping the chapter achieve this recognition. Thomas presented a report of business conducted at the Delta Kappa Gamma Indiana State Executive Board meeting held

in September. A bus trip to Indianapolis was planned in place of a November meeting, but has been canceled. The chapter will meet on Nov. 12 at the Huntington Library with Karen Kinney presenting the program, “ C h i l d r e n ’ s Literature…It’s Not Just for Kids.” Members attending from Wabash County: Nancy Kolb, Brenda Landis, Judy Ward and Susan Keefer.

Manchester’s Bedke advances to state By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

In just her second year running cross country, Manchester senior cross country runner Rae Bedke is going to State. Bedke got the 10th and final spot for those advancing without a team, finishing 18th overall with a time of 19:18.5 at the New Prairie Semi-State Saturday morning. But Bedke wasn’t alone, as the entire Squire girls’ team finished 13th as a group, and Drew Jones represented Manchester in the boys’ race, running his best race of the year. “From top to bottom, everyone ran very well Saturday,” Manchester coach Jody Sarber said. “Rae did just enough to get to state, and our girls tied our best semi-state finish as a team. Drew set a season PR running under 18 minutes for only his second time. Jaelyn Webb had a great race running 20:09, and Maddy also set a new PR. The coaches were all very proud of our team on Saturday.” Along with Webb’s 54th place finish, Tahnee Fuentes was 83rd with a time of 20:33.5, followed by Clara Burdette in 140th place in 21:41.9, Katie Barker finishing 158th in 22:17.0, Sydney Diefenbaugh in 159th place in 22:30.9, and Maddy Evans in 167th place in 22:33.6. Drew Jones finished 122nd overall in the boys’ race with a personal best 17:54.3. Bedke will compete in the State Finals at LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute starting at 1:00 p.m.

Southwood falls in VB sectional finals

By The Paper staff Southwood’s volleyball team was having anything but a typical season. Heading into last week’s sectional, the perennial powerhouse had recorded a 8-24 record. But in tourney time, anything can happen. After wins against Wabash (3-1) in the opening game and Cass (3-0) in the semifinals, the Lady Knights faced Rochester for Saturday night in the finals of the Rochester volleyball sections. In the end, the Lady Zebras pulled off a 3-0 win to capture the 2016 title Rochester downed Southwood 25-18, 25-17, 25-8. To get to the finals, Southwood defeated Cass on Saturday morning, 25-14, 25-19, 25-9. The Lady Knights defeated Wabash in the first round. Rochester advanced to the finals by defeating Manchester, 25-12, 25-13, 25-16. Manchester advanced to the semis with a 3-1 win over Oak Hill.

The Southwood Knights took revenge on the Northfield Norsemen for an earlier season loss. The Manchester Squires also advanced, defeating The Knights defeated their Wabash County and MSD of Wabash County rival Norse, 28-14, on Friday, Oct. 21, in the first round of the IHSAA football sectional. Peyton Trexler opened the scoring for Southwood, pulling down a 31-yard pass from Carson Blair with 4:10 left in the first quarter. Seventeen seconds later the Norse retaliated, scoring on a Jackson Beery scored on a 58-yard kickoff return to tie the score at 6-6. That was the closest Northfield would come the rest of the contest. Southwood scored two touchdowns, one in the second quarter and one in the third to build a 21-6 lead. Quarterback Carson Blair found paydirt from one-yard out at the 11:32 mark of the second quarter. He then connected with Trexler on a 2point conversion pass. In the third quarter Blair connected with Jeffrey Finicle at the 8:47 mark of the third quarter. Parker Mays kicked the extra point. Northfield managed to get its second TD of the night late in the quarter. Quarterback Layne Evans scored on a 45-yard run with 2:02 left in the third. Josh Schuler hit Daniel Driscoll

on the 2-point conversion to cut the score to 21-14. Blair connected with Zack Ball on a 3-yardpass and Mays added the extra point with 9 minutes left in the final quarter. Blair ended the night 29 of 38 for 269 yards and three TDs. He ran for another TD. Trexler had eight catches for 103 yards and a TD, while Ball had five catches for 58 yards and a TD. Finicle had seven catches for 49 yards and a TD, and Blake Martz had catches for 48 yards. For Northfield, Haynes finished the night 5 of 14 for 42 yards and an interception. Beery led the Norse in rushing with 103 yards on 11 carries, while Evans had 75 yards on 12 carries, Jensen Frieden had 59 yards on 20 carries and Schuler had 23 yards on five carries. Schuler also was the leading receiver, pulling down two passes for 25 yards. Southwood will travel to Triton for the next round of sectional play on Friday.

Squires win On paper, Manchester (18) wasn’t supposed to give Delphi (5-4) much of a battle. On the field Friday night, it was a different story. The Squires struck early and never trailed the Oracle as they advanced to the second round of sectional play with a 28-19 win. “The second season is what it’s all about, and that’s

Southwood’s Peyton Trexler prepares to pull in the first touchdown of the game Friday night. Photo by Joseph Slacian what we stressed to our team. Everything else is a dress rehearsal, and every team starts 0-0,” Manchester coach Greg Miller said. “We had a big first half defensively, and offensively, we put up enough points to help us secure the game.” The Manchester defense made an impact right away, holding Delphi to a threeand-out, forcing a punt. A bad snap on the punt attempt gave the Squires the ball on Delphi’s seven yard line just 68 seconds into the game. Two plays later, Devon Rooney scored on a seven yard pass from Hayes Sturtsman with 10:10 left in the first quarter. Josh Shepherd ran in a two-point conversion for an 8-0 lead. Delphi answered late in the first quarter with a touchdown to cut it to 8-7, but it took Manchester just five plays and another touchdown pass from Sturtsman, this time to Shepherd on a screen play to increase their lead to 14-7 with 1:01 left in the first. Sturtsman gave the Squires a 20-7 lead, this time on the ground as he broke free up the middle for a 34yard touchdown run with 4:23 left in the second quarter. Delphi got back in the

game late in the third quarter when Weston Windell hit Jadon Kinzie for an 11-yard touchdown reception with 3:22 left to cut it to 20-13. Thirty-three seconds later, it was 20-19 when Windell picked off Sturtsman and ran it back for a 20-yard interception return. The score remained 20-19 midway through the fourth quarter, but the Squires got some breathing room thanks to Shepherd running four straight times for gains of 10 and 33 yards, and two straight one-yard rushes, the last one for a touchdown with 4:55 left in the game. Sturtsman ran in the twopoint conversion for a 28-19 lead. Sturtsman was 11-21 for 96 yards and two touchdowns and ran the ball 13 times for 53 yards and a score, while Shepherd rushed for 108 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown and had a receiving touchdown for 15 yards. Rooney caught five passes for 31 yards and a touchdown. The Squires will travel to Bremen this Friday for the sectional semi-final at 7:00 p.m. Bremen (7-3) defeated Wabash 35-14 in their sectional opener. No statistics were available from the Wabash game.

Local Indy 500 legend to be honored with new marker ... continued from the front page

“To have this recognition presented now is very special and we would like to thank everyone that helped bring this together,” the younger Daywalt told The Paper of Wabash County. “This is a wonderful honor to him, his character as a person and his abilities as a race driver in an era of racing that that was equally special. This marker will help represent his part in an overly dangerous period of Indy racing when drivers wore T-shirts as a driving suits, but it also represents the amazing fans of the era that together are what made the legendary Indy 500 race.” The elder Daywalt started eight Indy 500 races, finishing sixth in 1953 to garner Rookie of the Year honors. In 1954, he started the race from the middle of the front row and went on to lead eight laps. A fourth turn crash ended his day after 111 laps. Daywalt’s last Indy 500 was in 1962, starting from the 33rd spot. He lasted just 74 laps before transmission problems sidelined him. Jimmy Daywalt Jr. never saw his father race. “I was not able to see my father race as he retired from racing soon after I was born,

though I can say my earliest ‘excessively loud’ memory was with him in Gasoline Alley when an engine fired up,” he said. “We did not have much time for racing discussions as he died when I was 6years-old and his post racing career kept him away from home for periods of time.” The idea for the plaque was broached with the IRMA by Texas businessman Bill Blaylock, who is paying for the memorial. “I started reading about the Indiana Racing Memorial Association’s work commemorating other Hoosier drivers like Gene Hartley and Joe Dawson, the 1912 winner, and commemorating racing locations and other individuals, such as A. J. Watson, on racing sites on the Internet,” Blaylock told The Paper. “Some of my Hoosier friends had been to the ceremonies and said that IRMA was the real thing. “I started checking out the group and quickly recognized that it is made up of a network of individuals who are notable in several areas of racing — historians, authors, announcers, former drivers, owners and crew. The group has a lot of boots on the ground who have the

credentials to identify people and places that should receive permanent recognition in Indiana’s racing history. “So, I contacted Donald Davidson the historian at the Speedway and threw out the idea that Jimmy should meet IRMA’s criteria for a marker,” he continued. “Donald agreed — he and I have had more than a few conversations about Jimmy Daywalt over the years.” Davidson made a few telephone calls about the idea, Blaylock continued. “He got back to me and basically said we do not have to convince IRMA; Jimmy already was on their list for recognition,” he continued. “It became obvious that I should fund a permanent recognition of Jimmy through IRMA. “ Blaylock has been a longtime fan of Daywalt, thanks in part to his father. Blaylock’s father, a former director of the FBI office in Indianapolis, and Daywalt would make speaking appearances for various organizations, such as the Rotary Club and chambers of commerce. “My father would speak typically about prevention of auto

theft and Jimmy would speak about highway safety,” Blaylock said. “He was a member of the Champion Spark Plug Highway safety team, a group of maybe six to 10 IndyCar drivers who would talk to high schools, business associations, about highway safety.” For his 10th birthday, Blaylock was able to meet Daywalt. “For my 10th birthday, my father took me to the Hoosier Hundred – the 100 mile race at the Indiana State Fairgrounds,” Blaylock said. “When the race was over — Jimmy did not qualify for the race that day; 18 cars ran the race and there were 40-plus entries — we went into the pits and my father went up and greeted Jimmy. “Jimmy still had on his blue driving suit. He was very friendly, engaging and articulate. He was the first race driver I met. He is the one who ‘set the racing hook’ in me. I saw him race the next year in the 1956 500. Over the next several years, my father was transferred from Indianapolis to other FBI offices, but I used to subscribe to the Indianapolis newspapers for the month of May and follow the 500. I came back to see Jimmy race one more

Brandt’s named Biz of the Year ...continued from the front page Haag honored as the 2016 Distinguished Citizen. Mike Brandt and Leila Knoblock accepted the award on behalf of the dealership. “This is a very humbling award,” Brandt said. “On behalf of everyone associated with Brandt’s HarleyDavidson we are honored to have been chosen the 2016 Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year. It is a great honor for us to have been selected for this honor. “I’ve seen the lean years, the good years and the great years to come. I just want to say that over the years, Wabash has been very good to us. “I just want to say thank you to Wabash. It’s been really good to be a part of this community. I just want to say thank you to everybody to the Wabash Chamber of Commerce and the team at

Brandt’s Harley Davidson. It’s been an honor to be a part of this community. “Wabash is starting to rock.” Attendees watched a five-minute video about the dealership, which was opened in 1949 by Waldo Brandt. Since the beginnings, the dealership has grown and has moved from its south side spot on South Wabash Street to its current location at the northwest corner of Ind. 15 and U.S. 24. In addition to that, Brandt’s also owns a dealership in Marion, the Waldo Golf Course, UnaBella Pizza and Brandt’s Power Sports, Marketing Director Mark Shanks told the crowd. It also finished building a storage facility at its dealership so cycle owners have a place to store their vehicles over the winter. Prior to the Business of the Year celebration, outgoing Chamber

Chair Aaron Campbell received a ceremonial gavel for his service the past year. Following the Small Business Award ceremony, Paul McCann received the gavel from Campbell to become the new Chamber chair. He broached the question is the Chamber as relevant today as it was 100 years ago? “I argue, unsurprisingly, that it is relevant,” McCann said. “I believe that the role of the Chamber … is to increase economic capacity, to build searchable connections in the community and to encourage an environment in which business can thrive. “In this next year at the Chamber … I want to encourage local businesses in two ways. One is to broaden the reach of local businesses through the Internet. “And the second

topic I’d like to encourage this year is to encourage collaboration between like minded organizations here in Wabash. The challenges for rural America are too great for us to continue with a strategy of every organization for themselves. “For Wabash to thrive over the next 100 years in the way it has in the past, it is critical for us to use every resource available to encourage and support the business community, our membership, to grow.” Chamber President Kim Pinkerton, who retired earlier this year, presented Brian Campbell, an outgoing Chamber board member, a plaque for his years served with the agency, and Chris Benson, a plaque for receiving the President’s Choice award, which is given to an outstanding volunteer.

That was his last race.” Blaylock believes Daywalt should be remembered for more than just his racing accomplishments. “Apart from Jimmy’s racing career, which began in Indiana after the war, it should also be noted that he joined the Army as a teenager to fight in World War II,” Blaylock said. “He served as the gunner in the ball turret of a B-24 bomber, which was the most dangerous job in a bomber. He was a member of what Tom Brokaw has described

as ‘The Greatest Generation.’

“My generation owes a lot to his generation.”

Students help pen song about Wabash By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com There’s a new song about the City of Wabash. “Keep the Light On” was written Thursday morning, Oct. 20, by Nashville singer-songwriters Aaron Barker and Marty Dodson, along with students from The Access Learning Academy. It was one of several songs written by the pair and students around the area as part of the Honeywell Center’s Outreach Education Program. “It’s the week of the year that I look forward to,” Barker told The Paper of Wabash County following the duo’s working with the kids. “Probably the only constant in my life is this regular trip up to Wabash. I get to think about it and anticipate it all year.” Barker said he has made the trip for “more than 10 years but less than 15.” And each year he brings a fellow songwriter or two to help him with the youth. “I’m always looking for new ways to clarify and convey

my ideas to these young people,” Barker said. “I was on the Internet looking around and I read this blog that expressed all of the stuff so clearly. It was a site called SongtownUSA. “I thought this guy really knows how to convey this information clearly, I’m not that good at it. So I started researching and it turns out it was my old friend. I’ve known him for 20 years. I hope he’ll hang with me for a few years.” Dodson enjoyed his experience in Wabash. “I thought it was just neat to share what we do with kids,” he said. “I think I’ve probably got more than they did out of it. It’s just been a great experience.” Barker and Dodson talked about their experience with the youngsters, and then explained a basic concept used in writing a song. Both should know what they’re talking about. Dodson has penned songs such as “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven,” by Kenny

Chesney, “Songs Like This,” by Carrie Underwood and “While You Loved Me,” by Rascal Flatts. Barker has written 10 No.1 songs, including several sung by George Strait such as “Baby Blue,” “Love Without End, Amen” and “Easy Come, Easy Go.” He also was recently inducted into the N a s h v i l l e Songwriters Hall of Fame. To write the song, Dodson put pencil to legal pad and urged the eight youth to provide ideas for them to work with. The group decided on the topic of keeping the light on, and eventually incorporated the City of Wabash being the first electrically lighted city in the world into the song. As Dodson urged the youth to come up with ideas for the song, Barker strummed a tune on his guitar, humming some parts and singing others until the song came together. When it all was finished, the pair took all the students’ names to give them credit for writing the

Barker and Dodson performed Thursday night at the Historic Eagles Theatre. But, Barker said, it was unlikely that the newest song would be included in the set, noting that they wrote several songs this week with other students, and if they performed one, they would have to perform them all. He did say the pair would likely put a demo tape together and send it back to the students so they could here a recording of their efforts. “It’s just so much fun,” Barker said of working with the students. “You can’t get a career training in just an hour working with the students. But, you don’t know. “I know if someone had come to my school when I was in junior high or high school and said there’s a viable path to the music business, it might have save me 15 or 20

Brenton’s back $18,500 for Shop With a Cop. Last year he raised $5,328.15. That, in turn, helped him set his goal this year of $5,400. “I always want to raise $100 more” than the previous year, he said. But, he readily admits, he’s a little nervous this year. “I’m bigger now,” he said, adding that he isn’t going to wear the police uniform he has donned over the years. The reason? He’s

... continued from page 28

grown about eight inches over the past year, and the uniform doesn’t fit him. When Mayor Scott Long and the Wabash Fraternal Order of Police chapter learned of his dilemma, they moved into action to guarantee Brenton will have a uniform top to wear again this year. What drives Brenton to stand outside, rain or shine, to raise funds? “I’m interested in helping with charity, I

guess,” he said. “It makes me feel good to help kids who don’t get Christmas, or people who don’t get anything at all. It’s kind of nice to help other people when you’ve got so much and you want to help others.” Brenton, 13, is unsure how much longer he’ll be standing outside to raise funds. “Maybe a few more years,” he said. “Then I’ll just get a job.” Brenton has several ways he raises funds

for his cause. In addition to standing outside and recycling cans, he also sends letters to family and friends asking for donations, and he also gives half the money he earns from auctioning his 4-H poultry project to the cause. Anyone interested in donating aluminum cans may bring them to Walmart when Brenton is there, or they can call 260-5715668 to make arrange-

ments for pickup. Brenton thanks everyone who has helped him over the years, especially Walmart for allowing him to stand outside its entrance. “I appreciate it very much,” he said. “It increases the money I get for Shop With a Cop. The more money I get, the more the kids get to be helped. I also want to thank the people that donate.”

New Chiropractic office opens on Cass Street By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Chiropractic Service Station opened its doors on Cass Street Monday, Oct. 10, and will add to Wabash’s existing chiropractic care, according to Dr. John Godfrey, business owner and practitioner. The new practice, located in the Shoppers Mart at 1146 N. Cass St. Suite C, took over the former Wells Chiropractic storefront in May after Godfrey and his wife, Angel, moved to the area in the same month. Oklahoma City natives, the couple moved to Wabash to be closer to family

and brought the practice with them in the move. “After fives months (of preparations), I’m looking forward to meeting new patients and getting to know the community,” Godfrey told The Paper of Wabash County. “We want (the practice) to feel like a family operation.” Now practicing for more than 30 years, Godfrey said he originally pursued his doctorate in the field after being inspired by a college acquaintance. “When she was 13years-old, she was thrown off a horse and the doctors told she would never run again and she might never walk again,” he said. “She spent a

go in for maintenance level care when I met her as a pre-med student at the time. So after I met her and really looked into it, I thought I liked the sound of it because

it’s something that you do to help patients, but you’re not just giving them medications or doing surgery. It’s more holistic.” Chiropractic care treats neck and back pain, headaches and extremity adjustments, according to the doctor. “That’s one thing people don’t normally think chiropractors care for,” he said. “We work on a lot of feet and ankles and that sort of thing. … It’s primarily musculoskeletal although because (chiropractic care) affects the nervous system, it can affect the entire body so you can end up treating patients that have breathing difficulties or digestive

problems, sinus issues and even headaches.” Godfrey said he hopes to offer more hands to the local chiropractic community, not compete for patients. “It’s always good to be in a situation when you have colleagues in town instead of competition,” he explained. “Work together, go out to lunch together … we’re here to add to what we can do.” Godfrey will also be adding to the chiropractic service by offering same-day care. “One thing we try to make sure is we always see a patient when they drop in,” he continued. “The way we run the busi-

ness, we will never be in a situation where a patient can’t get in that day if we’re open that day. If a person is hurting that day, we want to try to make sure we treat them that day.” The Chiropractic Service Station offers walk-in and scheduled appointments Monday, Wednesday, Friday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3-6 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to noon. The office is located in the suite between Aunt Kathy’s Kitchen and Leah’s Cakery and Confections. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 260563-9090.

COMMUNITY NEWS URBANA BLOOD DRIVE: The Urbana Yoke Parish Outreach Committee is sponsoring a blood drive on Nov. 2 from 2 to 6:30 p.m. at the Urbana Community Building. Walk-ins are welcome. As always there is a big need for blood. Please give the gift that only you can give. There is also a great need for platelet donations. These cannot be given the day of a blood drive as the platelet donation needs special equipment. Platelets can be given at the Red Cross Center in Lutheran Hospital in Ft. Wayne. If you have questions about donating platelets, contact Claudia Rosen who regularly gives platelets every couple of weeks, or Marvin Mast who has just become a platelet donor.

THE PAPER

October 26, 2016

Haag named 2016 Distinguished Citizen....continued from the front page It was the references to candy, as well as a love for fishing, in Kim Pinkerton’s talk Thursday night, Oct. 20, at the 75th annual Wabash County Chamber of Commerce annual dinner, that Haag caught on that she was about to be named the 2016 W a b a s h Distinguished Citizen. “Not until Kim mentioned the thing about the fishing, and I thought a lot of people in this room fish,” Haag told The Paper of Wabash. “Then she mentioned candy and chocolate. Yea. And then she mentioned Mrs. See’s candy, which is the best in the world but you can only get it on the west coast, and a light bulb started getting lit.” A chocoholic, Haag told The Paper after the award ceremony that it didn’t matter what type of candy

she would receive. “When I was growing up, any candy bar,” she said. “Any candy bar.” She said it took her. Pinkerton, who retired as the Wabash County Chamber president earlier this year, presented Haag with her plaque. Her daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and her brother, Jim Vice, joined her on stage. Ironically, according to Pinkerton’s speech, if it wasn’t for her brother, the City of Wabash may not have had Haag to provide the many services to it that she has over the years. “Our candy lover did have to have her life saved by her brother at one time as she choked on a piece of hard candy,” Pinkerton said. “He grabbed her by the ankles and literally held her upside down until it came out.

“One wonders if there was some extra firm patting of the back, to make up for all the times they had to put up with waiting … while a ‘must-have candy’ stop occurred.” Haag referenced the incident in her acceptance speech, noting, “I guess I should thank my brother for saving my life.” Haag has served on numerous boards around the city, including serving on the Wabash City Council for many years, and 15 years on the Wabash Plan Commission. She also served as the council’s liaison with the Wabash City Schools Board from 2008 to 2015. “I believe our DC (Distinguished Citizen) figured out early how to focus on the goal, not waver in the belief of attaining it, and bonus—even figured out how to get someone else to fund the

effort—all admirable traits in community service,” Pinkerton said. A Wabash native, Haag has been employed by Walgreens for 26 years. She has developed a good sense of being resourceful and maximizing results with what one is given. “During the blizzard of 1978, not wanting anyone to miss out on their medications or other needs, our DC donned coveralls and boots and walked to work at the Gackenheimers, located in Central Shoppers Mart at that time, just so the store could be opened,” Pinkerton said. A 1955 Wabash High School graduate, Haag attended Indiana University where she majored in art. Over the years, Haag has served as Boy Scout Den Mother, a Girl Scout

Leader, and would volunteer wherever needed when her children were students at L.H. Carpenter school. “She often filled in at the library, the school office and even in the classroom for teachers and was a very active parent in the Parent T e a c h e r Organization,” Pinkerton said. After the loss of her son, W. Scott Wakefield, Haag established a scholarship in 1979, ensuring that many, many students have received financial support to pursue their dreams in technical or science fields thanks to her generosity and charitable efforts. Haag also is an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys fishing and mushroom hunting. She “has a special prolific mushroom spot,” Pinkerton said of Haag. “She has never shared where

that secret location may be, but I’m thinking if I take the DC fishing a few times, and spike the soft drink, I might be able to pry it out.” “This year’s Distinguished Citizen is not a flashy person, but one who works tirelessly for our county to have great public servants, accountability for sound governance, and who helps behind the scenes wherever needed,” Pinkerton continued. “She has, sadly, out-survived two husbands, and a dear son, but she has not folded. Her inner strength has caused her to be a great champion for Wabash. “So, to her parents, James and Lola Vice, we offer up a great thank-you, for raising a wonderfully, community-minded daughter. And to her daughter, Carol Horn of Brookeville, and the grandchildren, Susan, Ellen,

and Jonathan, as well as the nine great-grandchildren, we say, how blessed you are to have a mother and grandmother who cares so strongly about so many, and who is so active in your lives.” Haag was lured to the dinner by past Distinguished Citizen Pat Lynn, who told her that her husband, Jack, was unable to attend and asked Haag if she would like to use the ticket. “When (Pinkerton) mentioned the trip to California, I turned to Pat and thought, ‘Pat, you dirty dog.’” Haag said she was flabbergasted by the honor, and was especially surprised that her family was able to keep her greatgrandchildren quiet during the event. “I didn’t know anything about it,” she said of the honor. “No one had said anything. I didn’t have a clue.”

ZION LUTHERAN HOSTS U. S. House of Representatives Chaplain. The Zion Speakers Series continues in October with Father Patrick Conroy, S.J., the Chaplain of the United States House of Representatives. On Saturday evening, Oct 29, at 7 p.m. Father Conroy will share the journey which brought him to his current responsibilities with our government leaders. His presentation is titled “Vocation of Chaplain in a Political World.” We’ve asked him to describe his role and the challenges he faces – especially as a spiritual leader and influence amongst, literally and figuratively, a “house divided.” What is a typical day? How does he bring Christian values to his role while navigating the differing opinions among his congregants? On Sunday, Oct 30, at 9:00 a.m., Father Conroy will deliver the sermon, “Bonds of Faith Bringing Mercy to the World.” Zion believes that people are hungry for spiritual growth and wants to be part of that conversation. UMC COMMUNITYT DINNER: Saturday, Oct 29 from 47:30 p.m. at the North Manchester United Methodist Church located at 306 E. Second St. Meal includes Ham Loaf, scalloped potato, slaw, dessert and drink.

The remainder is used to fund Church World Service Feeding and Farming programs the world over. The 2017 Wabash County CROP Walk will be held on Sunday Oct 1, 2017. In a spirit of Ecumenism we hope that even more churches will join us to “Walk Because They Walk” remembering that “Jesus Walked” to meet people and their needs, to help them become self-sufficient, and to unite as the body of Christ.

community won earlier this year. Deluxe Corp. sponsored the Small Business Revolution, which offered the winning community of an online vote a $500,000 makeover. The Minneapolisbased firm used half the money to help six local businesses with both material and non-material support such as advice and business lessons. The other half was used to help improve the downtown area. As part of the contest, crews from Flow No-fiction, a Texasbased firm, filmed an eight-part web-based series about Wabash and the six businesses it helped. Monday’s gathering at the Historic Eagles Theatre gave the people of Wabash a sneak-peak of the final two episodes. “Wabash is just an incredible place,” she told the 125 people gathered at the theater. “And, you guys, people are just loving it. They love you guys. The things we’re hearing on line about this community and what they’re seeing in these business owners is exactly what they are talking about when we first came together. “This is more than just about Wabash. It can be an inspiration to business owners across the country. You guys came together and let us do this.”

Following the viewing of the seventh and eighth episodes, Brinkman and others from Deluxe and Flow Non-fiction honored the businesses and Visit Wabash County director Christine Flohr with framed photos to remember the experience. Flohr worked closely with the crew and Deluxe over the summer while filming was taking place. Brinkman told The Paper of Wabash County that she was pleased with how authentic the episodes throughout the series were. “It was important for us to bring these stories to life to teach other small business owners that it’s hard to be a small business owner, but there’s ways to ask for help and there’s things that you can do to improve your business,” she said. Although the series is complete, Wabash should still use it to serve as a launching pad to bigger and better things. “There’s this really great momentum,” she said. “The country is really paying attention to Wabash right now, so now is the opportunity to keep getting better and better and to use this as an advantage from a tourism perspective, and to keep plugging into Wabash and all the great (continued on page 48)

Time food for easy entertaining By Metro Creative Connection Hosts typically offer food when inviting guests into their homes. One thing to consider when selecting foods to serve is recipes that can be timed well and are most suitable for entertaining. Interacting with guests and meeting their needs can be

challenging enough without having to make frequent trips to the kitchen to check on meals. Simple meals can reduce the likelihood that hosts will spend all of their time in the kitchen. Timing can be everything with regard to cooking, and with the following tips, hosts can offer foods that are cooked and served

with ease. Go with what you know Save experimentation for another time. When entertaining, stick to tried-and-true recipes you have made many times before and can prepare from memory. Sticking with recipes you know removes potential sources of stress and frustration

from hosting. Working with recipes you know also means you understand just how long it takes for foods to cook. This enables you to time courses properly so they come out of the oven hot and can be served at the right temperature. Cook ahead when possible It is easier to serve

foods promptly when dishes are already prepared. When foods are prepared in advance, serving can be as simple as reheating in the oven or placing uncooked foods in the oven. Keep in mind that food will heat up more quickly in serving dishes that are shallow. If time is of the essence, prepare foods in pans or other ves-

sels that are not too deep. Certain meals are good choices for advance preparation. These include casseroles, stews and baked pasta dishes. Fish and roasts are best served the day of cooking. Learn guests' tendencies It's helpful to know guests' personalities

and their propensity to arrive on time before assigning foods to bring. For example, the early bird of your group can be trusted to bring appetizers or mixers for early cocktails. Someone who usually arrives fashionably late should be tasked with bringing dessert or something else to be enjoyed after the meal.

28. Runners should arrive to check in at the gates to the football field by 5:30 p.m., and the race begins at 6 p.m. The entry fee is $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors. Register online: https://www.raceent r y. c o m / r a c e s / t h e running-dead-5k-zombie-run/2016/register

Prizes will be awarded in all age groups after the run, when the Mykayla Cynthia Band will be performing live. Holiday drinks and snacks will be available for purchase. There will be a D e s i g n - Yo u r - O w n Caramel Apple Bar. A race T-shirt is included in the entry fee.

From Metro Creative Graphics Come autumn, many foods seem to take on a unique flavor exclusive to the season. That's thanks to the ubiquitous "pumpkin spice," which each fall is a specially featured

ingredient in everything from cream cheese to marshmallows. Naturally, pumpkin spice is also a key ingredient when preparing pumpkin pie. But just what does pumpkin spice contain? Pumpkin spice is a combination of sev-

eral different ground spices. It typically includes cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. It also may include allspice. Pumpkin spice is the name given to the blend in the United States. In the United Kingdom, pumpkin spice is known as

"mixed spice," which is a similar but not exact blend as that used to create pumpkin spice. Both feature cinnamon as the dominant flavor.
