Get ready for turkey cooked by kindergarteners

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com

In preparation for Thanksgiving, Kami Ross’s Metro North Elementary School kindergarten students told The Paper of Wabash County how they make the best Thanksgiving turkey.

To make the best Thanksgiving turkey, it seems that confidence is key according to these kindergartners who often only cook a turkey for 15 minutes on three degrees or for 100 hours before it is ready to eat.

Many students also share what they enjoy to eat along with their turkey, everything from cinnamon rolls to chicken nuggets to sprinkles.

Aaleyah Luttrell: We don’t eat turkey on Thanksgiving. We only eat candy and stuff. I bet other people buy their turkeys from Walmart or Walgreens.

When they cook it, they don’t need to put anything on it. They probably put it in the oven for 15 seconds and then eat it.

Abel Price: My mom buys the turkey at Walmart. It costs $2.00. We don’t have to cook it, it’s already cooked! We cut

it to take the bone out. We put it in a bowl so we can all take out the pieces we want to eat. When it’s all gone, we go to the store and buy another turkey!

Alyssa Johnson: I think we get a real turkey that is alive. My dad will just grab something and hit it to kill it. Cut the feathers off before you cook it. We put it in the oven for 20 minutes. I think the oven needs to be on 30 degrees. The alarm will go off when it’s done. We usually eat corn and noodles with the turkey.

Amelia McKillip: You can get turkeys from the store.

My mom cooks the turkey in the smoker. It takes about 50 minutes.

When it comes out, it is hot! Place it on a plate. Daddy cut the turkey in pieces and puts it on the table. I love to eat the turkey legs! The first thing we do when we sit down is pray. Then we all eat!

Bentley Little: Our turkey comes from grandpa’s farm. I just stay at home and grandpa brings the turkey to our house.

Grandpa cooks the turkey for us, too. I (continued on page 5A)

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Drivers in the City of Wabash should expect road construction next year along Cass Street, Mayor Scott Long told those gathered at his Night With the Mayor gathering on Thursday, Nov. 21.

“We’ve got one major contract pending with our long term control planning to separate storm and sanitary sewers,” he said. “It’s going to be on Cass Street, State Road 15, from Ferry Street south to Burnette Street.”

Bids will be sought in late November or early December, with construction starting “rather quickly,” the mayor continued.

“They can dig in the ground over the winter.”

Long said city officials hope to work with contractors to complete work one block at a time.

MAYOR “So that you SCOTT LONG can make a detour around one block, other than semis, to get back on the road.”

He said he’s pushing to get the “pipe in the ground” quickly because the Indiana Department of Transportation is going to repave State Road 15 from State Road 16 through downtown Wabash.

“If I can get my pipe in the ground this winter, that’s going to save me and the city roughly $300,000 to $400,000, because they will then pay for the pavement,” he said.

To go along with the repavement on State Road 15, the city plans to do a reconstruction on Wedcor Avenue, located just north of U.S. 24.

Wabash Steel Supply has grand opening

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash Steel Supply had a grand opening for its new location on Thursday, Nov. 21.

Guests were welcomed all day with donuts, pizza, raffles and giveaways along with the Steel Supply team there to answer any questions.

Wabash Steel Supply has been serving the Wabash area since 2015 and after a year of work, they were able to open a new location and be able to better supply Wabash and surrounding areas with steel and industrial supplies.

Wabash Steel Supply President Steven Siders said that the preparations leading to their new location have been “crazy.”

Wabash Steel Supply owner, Ben Gebhart speaks with customers during the grand opening of the store’s new location. Photo by Mandy Underwood.

“There have been a lot of hours, a lot of money and a lot of dedication from a lot of our employees,” he said.

“It has been difficult to get this off the ground, but here we are, and it’s really great.”

Ben Gebhart, CEO of Gebhart Holdings and owner of Wabash

Steel Supply, also discussed the grand opening celebration with The Paper of Wabash County.

“We’ve been in business for several years, but we have been down the street and we have been working on this place for about a year and finally we are ready to unravel it,” he

said. “There is still a lot of work to go, and still a lot of things we would like to do, but for the most part, we are officially open for business at this location.”

Gebhart hopes that with the new store and the variety of products offered there, that they can change their sales from mainly industrial based to include more retail sales as well.

Wabash Steel Supply specializes in flat stock, angle, and sheet steel, aluminum, industrial supplies, safety supplies, welding supplies, tanks, and more within that realm.

The new store is located at 1945 S. Wabash St. and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Julie Garber, program director for the Community Foundation of Wabash County, received the Indiana Early Learning Champion Award during the Early Learning Summit for Economic Development on Thursday, Nov. 7.

“I’m very grateful for the recognition of our early education innovations in Wabash County and I gladly share this prize with the members of our creative coalition,” Garber said.

Garber has been one of many passionate members of the Wabash County Early Childhood Coalition, which was formed in an effort to address the lack of access to high-quality early childhood education opportunities for Wabash County families.

Officials at Grow Wabash County congratulate Garber on her honor.

“Julie is a valued leader in our community and her work through the Community Foundation of Wabash County to support the establishment and growth of high quality opportunities in early childhood education are vital to the long-term success of Wabash County,” said Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County.

As Wabash County looks to grow its population, it is imperative to have high-quality childcare spots available for current and new residents.

The coalition has spent the past few years finding ways to bring

more early education access to the working families of Wabash County who are often left to make difficult decisions between working and finding adequate care for their children.

Those efforts include helping to launch First Five Wabash County to create a strategic education plan for young kids as well as connecting educational facilities such as the Manchester Early Learning Center with grant money and/or materials to better serve Wabash County.

“Young parents face enormous financial pressures,” Garber said.

“They are paying for childcare, saving for their children’s college expenses, paying off their own education debts, buying houses, and saving for retirement at the very time in their lives they are making the least money. I am committed to finding ways as a whole community to address these issues for families because the success of the small child is success for us all.”

The annual summit during which Garber received the Early Learning Champion Award was a convergence of stakeholders not only from the world of education, but from all sorts of industries and businesses.

The goal of the summit was to position early childhood education as less of an isolated issue, but one that impacts everyone in a community, especially employers.

Yule Tide Stroll to open Dec. 13

4-H Fair Queen stays busy during reign

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Mariah Kirtlan, the Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen for 2019, has been busy sharing the joys of 4-H with the Wabash community.

She spoke with The Paper of Wabash County on Nov. 18 after visiting students at Metro North Elementary to talk with them about joining 4-H. “A lot of my duties currently have to do with promoting 4-H. I have been going to different schools and talking with the students about what 4-H has to offer. Also, being in the parades and at events helps to promote 4-H as well, because people see me and think of 4-H,” said Kirtlan.

She said that she

has gained a lot out of being Miss Wabash County and encourages any girl in 4-H who is old enough to consider participating in the 2020 queen contest.

Being a part of the contest, being crowned queen, and representing 4-H at the county fair and throughout this year has given her confidence and helped her to improve her interviewing skills and poise.

“I learned how to walk in heels, too,” she said. “I’m not really a girly-girl. I’m just a regular girl who works on the farm. That’s what is great about this, you don’t have to be a pageant girl, cause it’s not about beauty.

It’s about more than that.”

Kirtlan also shared that by winning this contest, she received

a $1,000 scholarship that she is using toward her nursing degree that she is currently pursuing at Purdue-Fort Wayne.

Recently Kirtlan has also been preparing to represent Wabash County at the State Fair Queen Contest.

She said that her preparation includes practicing her interview skills, prepping her outfits for the contest, getting to know the State Fair better, and writing a speech that she will give during the contest.

Kirtlan will be traveling to the state fairgrounds in Indianapolis on Jan. 3, where she will be competing for 3 days in an effort to be crowned Miss Indiana State Fair 2020.

During this 62nd annual State Fair

Queen Contest, queens from all county fairs in Indiana will come together and compete in four categories: the interview category, worth 45 percent of scoring, includes a threeminute interview with each of the three judges; professional wear, worth 20 percent of scoring; formal wear, also worth 20 percent of scoring; and the prepared speech, worth 15 percent of scoring.

For the speech category, all contestants are allowed to choose their own topic.

“It’s actually a lot harder than if they just gave you a topic,” said Kirtlan. “I have several running ideas for my topic, but I don’t want it to be a cookie-cutter speech, I want to stand out.”

Kirtlan looks forward to competing in January and is excited to meet other county queens and learn about their

Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen Mariah Kirtlan dons her crown and sash as she speaks with students from Metro North Elementary students about what they can gain from participating in 4-H. Photo provided. fairs and the differences of each county compared to Wabash.

Kirtlan also shared with The Paper that kids in Wabash County who are in grades 3-12 can sign up for 4-H until Jan. 15.

The cost of enrollment is $30 per child for unlimited projects, with a $90 limit per family, so if a family has four kids

who want to participate, the fee will only be $90 instead of $120.

4-H offers an array of projects from livestock to photography.

“There are projects for anyone. You don’t have to be a farmer to be a part of 4-H,” said Kirtlan.

Anyone interested in 4-H can enroll online at in.4honline.com.

Charley Creek Gardens 10th Annual Yule Time Stroll will be Dec. 13 - 23 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Bring the family for a walk along the lighted path of the Gardens.

The Yule Time Stroll began in 2009 and has since become an annual tradition.

The self-guided stroll is perfect for those looking to slow down during the holiday rush. Guests are encouraged to dress warm.

Hot chocolate will be provided for guests in the Charley Creek Gardens Education and Resource Center.

Charley Creek Gardens is located at 551 N. Miami Street, and is a non-profit horticulture center dedicated to the study, conservation, and appreciation of plants (both native and foreign), through garden displays, education, and research.

THE PAPER

November 27, 2019

How to prepare a turkey think he puts it on the stove for about an hour or so. Be careful that you cut ALL of the bones out because you don’t want them getting stuck in your throat. That would hurt. The turkey is really good!

Carson McClure: I put the turkey in the oven and it cooks for a while. I think it cooks a long time actually. Then I pull it out of the oven. Then we eat it for Thanksgiving.

Usually we take the turkey to grandma and grandpa’s house.

I love when we eat cinnamon rolls with the turkey!

Everly Schenkel: We go to the grocery store for our turkey. Look for a big one! Put white things on the turkey and put it in the oven on 3 degrees for 15 minutes. When the timer beeps, the turkey is done. My mom and dad cut the turkey so that we can eat it. My cousins all come over to eat turkey with us.

Gabriel Bolin: My Papa and Mamaw cook the turkey. They cook it the same way that other people cook it.

Don’t put salt on it, that’s yucky! I do like butter on it.

YUM! Put the turkey on the top in the oven. You know, right on the shelf.

You don’t even need a pan. Make sure the oven is on warm or hot...like 4 or 70. I think it needs to cook 6 hours. If it’s not hot, it needs to be hotter. Then it’s too hot, so blow on it. Now it’s ready to eat! Maybe you should make chicken nuggets to go

with it. Yep, that sounds good: chicken nuggets and turkey.

Gabriel Hyden: Go to the farm and look all around for a turkey. When you see a turkey, say, “Hi!” Then carry it to your car. Take it home to cook it in the oven.

Put cheese on the turkey. It needs to cook for about 25 minutes. That is how you cook a turkey, but we usually have fish for our Thanksgiving dinner. Grandma and Grandpa Red House come over to eat with us. I always give Grandpa a hug first and then we catch the fish from a boat. Just keep the fish in the “water thing” until it’s close to time to eat the fish.

Grady Lehner: I think we get the turkey from WalMart. My mom will pick out the best one.

It will cost $13. We usually cook the turkey in the microwave.

Sometimes we do cook it in the oven though. It will take 13 minutes in the oven.

It takes forever!

When we go to Grandma’s house, we all eat turkey and tons of other good stuff.

Julia Shull: My whole family goes to Wal-Mart to get the turkey. Get the kind that is real and you can eat it. It is in a blue, white, and brown package.

Put the turkey in a pan with oil and soybeans. Daddy puts it in different oil, the kind you cook it in.

When the turkey goes in the hot oil, it overheats. The turkey is done when the timer

goes off. Then you need to switch it off.

One time the timer didn’t go off, so the turkey got burnt.

Make sure you don’t do that.

Kendall Case: Daddy cooks our turkey. He puts salt on it before he cooks it. Turn the oven on to 1, I think. Wait for the oven to warm up.

Put the turkey in the oven for 10 minutes.

Daddy cuts the turkey so we can eat it. We like to eat mashed potatoes and gravy with our turkey.

Lilly Poe: We buy our turkey at Wal-Mart. My dad and mom go to pick out the turkey. It will probably cost $100.

When they take it home, they freeze it.

When it’s finally Thanksgiving, you take it out and don’t put it in the freezer anymore. Then it’s just not frozen anymore. To cook it, put it on the stove. You will need a big pan.

Leave it on the stove for a little bit. You will hear a beep when it’s done.

Madilynn Laferney: My favorite kind of turkey is the kind with sprinkles! My mommy makes the best turkey with sprinkles. She cooks it two times so it doesn’t run away.

When it’s cooked, cut off the bones and give me a small piece.

Yummy!

Ridge McKillip: To get a turkey, go to the barn to hunt for it. Grab a gun and put bullets in it. Push the button so the bullet comes flying out.

The bullet will go

Take it home to cook it in the oven. You need to cook it for 6 minutes at 19 degrees. My whole family likes to eat turkey.

Sadie King: Mom and dad buy a turkey from WalMart. They are really good at picking out the best turkey. My mom pays for the turkey. It costs $5 or $6. Cook the turkey in the stove for a while. Dad or Blake will cut the turkey. I eat most of the turkey because I LOVE turkey! I eat strawberries, grapes, and mashed potatoes with the turkey. I also drink Gatorade with it.

Tyler Reeves Jr.: Go to Mrs. Ross’

house to get a turkey.

She probably has lots of them on the farm and will share with me. Get the real kind of turkey though, not them fake ones! To cook it, you need a stove. Get a pan and put in some cheese in with the turkey.

Maybe even sprinkle in some CheeseIts...it’s best if you

smash them up first.

Adding some flour is the last thing to add in the pan. That’s it!

Well, sometimes I put in some vanilla, salt and pepper. Cook it for 5 hours or sometimes maybe even 100 hours to get it all the way done. It’s SO good! I eat all of it… well, I would share some with Mrs. Ross.

Marion man wins fire department raffle

The Urbana Concert Band, circa 1924. Photo provided

In 1924, Urbana had a concert band. Yep, how cool is this?

The little town of Urbana had a band of members who wanted to start something unique for the time.

The band had more than 35 members and some had never played an instrument.

Together they raised money to purchase uniforms and instruments either new or second-hand.

They began practicing by playing scales and eventually moved from simple tunes to more complicated songs and military marches. They played for weddings, at fairs, during town festivals and did concerts during the summer. Way back when there were no high school bands and other entertainment was limited, the 40 piece Urbana Concert Band was a popular attraction.

Politicians often asked the band to play for their events.

They were a very popular band in this area. Members consisted of all ages and they came from surrounding communities such as Bippus, Wabash, North Manchester and Roann. Henry Fields was the Band Director. They gave concerts in a 15 mile radius.

A yearly highlight for the band was the trip by interurban car to Indianapolis for the 500 mile race.

At the time, bands from all over Indiana would play at the race. The Urbana band would march into the track, split

and turn so all the members faced the reviewing stand.

The band would practice in what was called Macabee Hall, named after a fraternal organization called the Macabees, now the Urbana Cyclone Seeder Co. Here are some names of the Urbana members of the band you might recognize. Ken Keaffaber joined when he had just turned 12 and played the coronet. Orville Urschel was around 15 at the time when he joined and played the saxaphone.

Wilbur Dawes was around 20 and was teaching at Urbana school when the band began and he played the mellowphone (similar to a French horn). Other members were Earl Karns, Ernest Haupert, George Maurer, Roy Miller, Carl Miller, Lawrence Hiner, Ezra Franklin Pretorius, Lynn Stark, Bud Walker, Vert Sholty, Paul Shotly, John Wolf, Mose Salesman, Floyd Beghtel, Ed Geist, Fredrick Schneider, Forrest Baer, Corwin Briner, Raymond Keaffaber, Harold Keaffaber, Harland Haupert, Frank Eiler, Mark

Beghtel, Carl Grandstaff, Jess Dawes, Charles Keaffaber, Herman Keffaber, Myr Deal, Fred Grandsaff and Clarence Mauer. This is just another interesting fact about Urbana that I thought readers would enjoy.

Urbana Lions Club: Lion’s District Governor Mary Klempay will be present to induct two new members, Rick and Roxie Monce, into the Urbana Lions Club on Nov. 25 at 6 p.m.

This will be held at the Urbana Lions/Community building. If you would like to be part of a club that does a lot for its community and become a part of a huge organization that has helped thousands and thousands of people world wide then think about joining the Urbana Lions Club and enjoy the feelings of helping others in need. The Lion Moto is We Serve.

WORDS OF WISDOM “The best rule of thumb is to be optimistic. Without wasting a lot of resources on hopeless causes, recognize that many things are worth trying for even if you may not succeed. The more you try for, the more you are likely to get.

Studies of negotiation consistently show a strong correlation between aspiration and result.

Within reason, it pays to think positively.

Construction signal out there,” Long said. “With the building of the new hotel, we have to rebuild Wedcor Avenue west of State Road 15, change some of the entrance and exit to Stock and Field. At that point, they’ve got one exit that’s too close to State Road 15, so your easement is shut down. So that’s another project that will be going on out there sometime in the spring.”

Some paving proj-

ects also are planned, thanks to funds from the state’s Community Crossing grant totaling more than $800,000 for next year.

The Wedcor Avenue is one project.

Another is the milling and repaving of Falls Avenue from Sinclair Street to Cambridge Drive, while the third is the milling and repaving of Pike Street from Vernon Street to the city limits.

The city is now

...continued from Page 1A working on installing a sidewalk along Colerain Drive.

“I drive that every morning and I see kids walking to school at the middle school and high school in the street,” Long said. “Plus, neighborhood residents getting their exercise by walking in the street. It’s a safety issue.”

As for the railroad overpass project on East Street, the mayor said he spoke with INDOT officials on Monday. The agency just received the designs from the engineers and, before the end of the year, hope to visit Wabash with the design engineers to meet with city officials to discuss the work, and any potential alternatives.

“I don’t really think there are any alternatives without closing some parallel streets to that railroad crossing,” he said. “We’ll see what they have to say.”

The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety on Thursday approved a contract to redo sidewalk on the north side of Canal Street from Wabash to Huntington streets.

Next year, he added, the city plans to work on sidewalk projects at other sites around the city.

“I know there’s been some discussion about sidewalks on Cass Street,” he said.

“I’m working with INDOT concerning that. That’s a state highway, so it’s their responsibility. If we have to go through INDOT, it takes three to four years to get all the paperwork from Wabash to Fort Wayne to Indianapolis and back. We are beginning those discussions.”

Following Long’s comments, the audience heard from five Wabash County residents who have moved here from other countries to discuss cultural diversity and inclusion in Wabash and Wabash County.

Speaking were Yumie Higuera of Japan, Hanna Haydar of Sudan, Chony Niccum of Guatemala, Tiffany Nguyen of Vietnam and Chris Francois of Haiti.

The five discussed the trials and tribulations of moving from their home country to Wabash and North Manchester, and their efforts to be accepted in the community.

Thursday’s meeting was the last in a series of quarterly Evening With the Mayor programs for 2019.

Put a new twist into your Thanksgiving by preparing your turkey in a more flavorful way, like this Fabulous Turkey Francese, which offers an incredible melt-in-your-mouth, flavorful experience in every bite! Food stylist and photographer: Laura Kurella

It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a turkey, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a little creative in how you cook it, especially if your household is not able or doesn’t possess the desire to consume all the parts of a turkey – gizzards and all – on any occasion!

Personally, I’ve had a fondness for turkey breast since I was a child, and have rarely eaten any other part, on any bird – goose, duck, chicken, or otherwise – included.

That said, it should come as little surprise that when I first saw that first turkey breast for sale in the grocery store I couldn’t help but shout, “Thank you, God!” which drew quite a few laughs from the other shoppers in that store!

I’m sorry, but being able to buy your favorite turkey part was quite the game-changer for many because it freed us to select only the parts we liked, which unburdened us from the parts we didn’t and likely cut down on sizeable waste, especially in homes who are not able to consume an entire bird.

I love that our desires were not only heard, but also acted upon, lead-

ing us to boneless and even skinless turkey breast selections, and in more recent times to what is tagged a turkey breast “tenderloin.”

While not a true tenderloin like that found on a cow or pig’s loin area (I think a turkey’s loin area would be too tiny for a meal) a turkey tenderloin is like that of the chicken, which is a strip of breast meat that, because of its location - against the ribs where it does not move much – makes it more tender. However, most say that there is no distinguishable taste difference between it and other breast meat.

For those of us who prefer breast meat, it merely offers us just one more option in moderately-priced convenience cuts worth contemplating on Turkey Day! Whether you’re a into legs, a wing man, into breasts, or like a whole, huge bird, there’s never been a time like the present to enjoy specifically what you like, and given none of know if this Thanksgiving may be our last, I say live like you were dying, most especially on Thanksgiving Day! Here now are three twists to take on this oh-so-traditional turkey day that are flexible enough to substitute your own favorite part into them too.

Happy Thanksgiving!

MHS’ Kissel signs to golf at IU Kokomo

By Eric Christiansen Echristiansen@nmpaper.com Manchester High School senior golfer Samantha Kissel will continue her education and golf career at Indiana University Kokomo next fall.

Kissel was a four-year varsity player with the Squires that included a regional appearance this fall.

She said she is looking forward for the next chapter in

her life.

“Coach (Barry Gulley) contacted me about a visit and I took the opportunity and went down to the school,” Kissel said. “He gave me a tour of the campus and I learned all about the travel opportunities.

“I want to travel and golf allows me to travel as well as with school opportunities.”

“She is a fantastic golfer and young lady,” Coach

Gulley said. “It’s my first season at IU-K and it was really important to me to get the right people in my first recruiting class. I”m glad she was one of my first signings.

It’s a great fit all around.”

Kissel plans to study business marketing with a minor in communications and hopes to take over her father’s business.

Kissel is the daughter of Todd and Cara Kissel.

Church to host concert on Dec. 1 On Dec. 1 at 10:30 a.m., Cami Shrock will be in concert at the Wabash First Church of God, 525 N Miami Street, Wabash.

The oldest of three, Cami’s parents exposed her and her siblings to southern gospel music from the beginning.

By the time she was 6, she knew she was called to minis-

ter through music.

Shrock is thrilled to be pursuing her dream to sing and share the love of Jesus wherever the Lord takes her.

“As I became an adult and started my own family, I had often wondered why God had not opened that door. I now know that there were trials I had to overcome before the

doors finally opened,” she said.

The public is invited to attend this free event.

Seating is limited.

A love offering will be received for the ministry of Shrock.

Following the concert, there will be a carry-in dinner at the REMC conference room.

CF gives $5,000 to help fight hunger NORTH MANCHESTER — Community Foundation of Wabash County recently awarded Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry $5,000 to be used to serve Wabash County residents.

According to the latest Feeding America Map the Meal Gap report, Indiana has 887,070 people struggling with hunger - 273,380 of which are children and 70,000 are seniors. There are many Hoosiers out there who are “working poor”. These individuals, who are considered food insecure, earn just enough to make them ineligible for food-assistance programs. They are working hard to try and support their families but the always rising cost of living makes their struggle even more difficult.

Seniors are usually living on a fixedincome and often have to make the difficult decision between paying for medication, housing, and food. Food insecurity, especially with protein deficiency, can lead to loss of muscle mass and

bone frailty, decreased immune system, babies with lower birth weights, and damage to a child’s ability to learn and grow - as the lack of healthy food results in people receiving fewer nutrients. For seniors, food insecurity can lead to a deterioration in health, hospitalization, and even depression. Proper nutrition is vital to the growth and development of children and the health of all Hoosiers. That is why protein, an important component of every cell in the body and one of the most important nutrients for brain and body development in children, is so important!

Sadly, it is also the hardest commodity for food banks to obtain.

“Our goal is to provide this proteinpacked meat to hunger-relief agencies within Indiana because getting groceries at local food banks and pantries guarantees healthy meals for families when they need extra help. This program works to ensure that these agencies have this meat, allowing

them to provide fresh nutritious protein for hungry local families.

This effort will help build stronger, healthier communities by meeting a basic need - reducing food insecurity and empowering people by getting them back on track to hungerfree, independent living.” said Debra Treesh, Executive Director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry.

“Wabash County pantries fill a big gap in food security, but protein is always the most expensive and the more difficult food staple to come by. We are delighted to join Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry and generous donors, like 4-Hers who give their animals for pantries, in the fight to eliminate hunger in our county.” said Julie Garber, CF Program Director.

“The $5,000 in funds will pay to process about 4,300 pounds of donated large game and livestock – providing 17,000 more meals through area hungerrelief agencies to residents in need within their community,” said Treesh.

Roann group to work on downtown mural THE ROANN COMMUNITY Heritage Group met at the town hall on Thursday, Nov. 14.

Jerry Nelson reviewed the group’s priorities for what the group felt should

be at the top of the list for revitalizing downtown Roann.

The group felt the mural on the south side of the community building would be a great project to start with. Jerry and

Jo Ellen Nelson will make a contact with the person they feel would be able to repaint the scene that is on the building.

Other ideas to help with signage to direct people to the down-

town areas was discussed.

The Heritage Group would like to encourage the downtown businesses to decorate their windows for the Christmas season.

The Winter Christmas Market will be held at the Roann Community Building on Dec. 7 and we hope the town can be decorated by then. A letter will be composed and mailed out to the businesses.

Santa Claus will be at the Roann Library on Dec. 7 from 10:00-11:0

a.m.. The library will have a book sale starting on Thursday, Dec. 5 through Saturday, Dec. 7.

Shop small businesses to improve the holiday experience It’s the time of year when newspapers thicken with sales circulars and holiday advertisements.

Consumers looking to beat the hustle and bustle and steer clear of the crowds this year may want to pay attention to local businesses in lieu of trekking to nearby shopping malls.

Every time consumers visit local coffee shops to grab a latte, pick up a dress at a nearby boutique or patronize a farmer’s market down the street, they are supporting a small business. The Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving are some of the busiest shopping days

of the season, and they also can be some of the friendliest to small businesses.

Plaid Friday was conceptualized in Oakland. It may have been born in the Golden State, but the movement soon spread across the country. Plaid Friday is an alternative to big box stores’ Black Friday bonanzas. It is designed to promote both local and independently-owned businesses during the holiday season. The name Plaid Friday was used to help people visualize the various threads of small businesses coming together to create a strong community fabric that was diverse and creativity.

Shoppers can continue their small business patronage with Small Business Saturday. This, too, is a counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The first event was created by American Express in conjunction with the nonprofit National Trust for H i s t o r i c Preservation. Since its inception, many small business groups, merchants and politicians have touted the event and the Shop Small® mantra. The idea is that when small businesses thrive, communities and individuals thrive along with them.

The Small B u s i n e s s

Administration says that, since 1995, small businesses have generated 66 percent of all new jobs in the United States. There are a number of big reasons to shop small.

One can start around the holidays and then continue all year long.

• Shopping small businesses helps give back to the community directly. According to Civic Economics, a strategic planning business, on average 48 percent of each purchase made at independent businesses is recirculated locally through tax money and other support.

• Small business owners often strive to provide personalized,

hands-on customer service. Repeat business is key to their survival, so they want to ensure shoppers are happy.

• Small businesses, since they are not beholden to corporate oversight in terms of what they sell, have greater flexibility.

That allows them to offer a diverse product selection.

• Small business owners often live nearby, and they’re the people you see in town, schools and elsewhere in the local community.

Many consumers are comforted to know they’re supporting their neighbors, especially during the holiday season.

Supporting local

Specific events are geared to direct shopping traffic to local businesses during the holiday season. businesses is easy.

And shoppers who like what they see can

share the good news with others on social media.

Short sale versus foreclosure Shopping for real estate may require prospective buyers to learn a whole new language.

Buyers may come across certain terms they don’t understand. Among the more common terms that first-time buyers may not fully understand are “short sale” and “foreclosure.”

According to Realtor.com, short sales and foreclosure auctions are situations that occur when homeowners fall behind on payments and can no longer afford to live in a home. A short sale happens when a homeowner owes more on the mortgage balance than the market value of the property when the owner needs to sell. The homeowner can ask the mortgage lender to accept a lesser amount than the total mortgage owed — making the h o m e ow n e r / s e l l e r “short” on paying the lender back.

A foreclosure is a legal process that occurs when a borrower cannot make mortgage loan payments for a significant period of time. If the debt is not recouped, lenders will step in and take ownership of the property, putting it up for sale in a foreclosure auction.

While these situations can be troublesome for the homeowner facing financial peril, distressed properties can be advantageous for buyers who oftentimes can buy homes at steep discounts.

However, short sales and foreclosures are not without challenges.

The real estate experts at Zillow say that foreclosures and short sales involve more layers than traditional transactions.

Zillow offers that bank lenders historically can be slow at giving approval for mortgages to purchase short sale properties or even agreeing on an amount for the sale. As a result,

buyers may miss out on other opportunities while waiting for short sales to move along.

Foreclosures carry their own hurdles. Buyers may not get a chance to even see a foreclosure property, nor be eligible to have it inspected, as foreclosed homes are typically sold “as-is” and at auction. The real estate agency Re/Max says buying a foreclosure typically is faster than buying a short sale, and

an investor can buy a foreclosed home for below market value.

But foreclosures cannot be contingent on the sale of another home, so a buyer must have funds in place and be ready to move quickly.

Short sales are often initiated by homeowners looking to avoid foreclosure.

As a result, short sale properties may be in decent condition.

This may not be the case with a foreclosure. The American Society of Home

Inspectors says foreclosed homes may have been neglected by having utilities turned off and no maintenance done on the home. Other homes may have been purposefully vandalized by the former owner or by squatters.

Short sales and foreclosure properties are options for buyers who want to get the best price possible on a home and are willing to take some risks in their pursuits.
