Basketball trick artists bring motivational messages to students By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Tanya Crevier and her nephew, Caleb Crevier, brought their motivational message to students at Wabash, Manchester and Northfield high schools last week. Tanya is a world famous basketball handler and is a member of numerous

Halls of Fame. Caleb holds a world record of spinning 30 basketballs at the same time. The pair performed numerous tricks with the basketball by themselves, together and with various students and staff members at the three schools. One of the highlights of the show was Caleb doing

tricks with the basketball, as well as juggling, while riding atop a 10-foot unicycle. The duo brought two students from the crowd and, while spinning a basketball on the tip of water bottle, poured the water from the bottle into the students’ mouths. In another trick, the pair pulled two other students

from the crowd and juggled two basketballs and an apple. Every time the apple came by the student, the Creviers placed it by the students’ mouths for them to take a bite. For their final trick, the pair each spun 10 basketballs at the same time. In between tricks, the pair talked about character, and to have

HOPE — Humility, Others, Purpose and Excellence. Tanya told the students that she loved basketball, but, because of her stature, many told her that she was too short to play the game. She said she didn’t let that deter her and that she would practice at least one hour every day to work on her various skills. As a result of her hard efforts, she graduated from South Dakota State University where she was a four-sport letter winner. She was also named the South Dakota Female Athlete of the Year and played for three years in the Women’s Professional Basketball League (WPL). She is a member of the Women’s National Basketball Hall of

at South Dakota State and, with his basketball skills, was a finalist on the “America’s Got Talent” television show. The visit was sponsored by the Fellowship for Christian Athletes.

The Wabash County Commissioners passed an ordinance regulating the operation of off-road vehicles on the county highway system on Monday, Jan. 27. The ordinance states that all highways within the Wabash County highway system except for the highways located within the corporate limits of a city or town, may be utilized for travel by off-road vehicles subject to the rules and regulations now existing by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and applicable state laws. Wabash County Sheriff Ryan Baker told The Paper of Wabash County that this is a new ordinance that he hopes will have positive effects. “Wabash County has not had an ordinance to operate off-

road vehicles,” he said. “I’d like to hope that everybody will operate these vehicles in a safe manner when they are on the roadway and that they pay attention to other vehicles and pedestrians. We want to make sure that everyone in Wabash County is safe while operating these vehicles on the roadway.” An off-road vehicle must be registered to operate in Indiana before it may utilize the highways within the Wabash County system. The ordinance also outlines restrictions on operations including: An individual may not operate an offroad vehicle on a county highway, street, or rights-ofway or on a private or public parking lot not specifically designed for the use of off-road vehicles except under the following conditions: A vehicle may be operated on the county right-of-way adja-

cent to the traveled part of the county highway, except a limited access highway, if there is sufficient width to operated at a reasonable distance off and away from the traveled part and in a manner that will not endanger life or property. The operator of a vehicle may cross a county highway, other than a limited access highway, at right angles for the purpose of getting from one area to another when the operation can be done in safety. The operator must bring the vehicle to a complete stop before proceeding across a county highway and must yield the right-of-way to all traffic. A vehicle may be operated on a highway in a county road system outside the corporate limits of a city or town if the highway is designated for this purpose by the county highway department having jurisdiction. continued on page 16A

New Northfield AD looking forward to begin By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Northfield High School has hired a new athletic director. Joshua Mohr, South Whitley native, has taught, coached, and been the AD for over 14 years at Whitko High School, but is eager to start his new position at NHS. He

began in the position Jan. 27, replacing Clint Davis who stepped down from the position in December. “Northfield has always had a positive, family feel to it when I visited, whether coaching or attending events as an AD. That is very important to me,” said Mohr. Mohr attended Whitko High School,

and got his teaching degree at Ball State University. With 27 applicants for the position, Dr. Paul Voigt, NHS principal told The Paper of Wabash County that he is satisfied with the decision. “When we hire, we always look for someone who will make us better. We feel Mr. Mohr will do just that,” said Voigt. “With his teaching, coaching, administrative experience, and more importantly his ability to build relationships and be a team player, we believe he will have a very successful career at Northfield.” Mohr currently

The Access begins south side program By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

JOSHUA MOHR lives outside of South Whitley with his wife, Holly and their five children. “I am eager to get started learning the school and community culture, getting to know the students and staff, and help in any way I can,” he said. “My biggest goal is to start building positive relationships with students, staff, and community members over the next few months.”

A new after-school program has started on the south side of Wabash. South Side Share is a joint venture between the Access Youth Center and the New Journey Church, 1721 N. Vernon St. The program will run from 5 to 6 p.m. Mondays at the church, the former W.C. Mills Elementary School. Access officials experimented with offering a program on the south side, Access Director Liz Hobbs told The Paper of Wabash County. Access representatives met with youth at the South Side Park every Monday for six weeks beginning Oct. 7, she said. There, the youth were helped with their homework, had group mentoring, played games and were served food. In all, Hobbs said, meals were served to

234 children and some parents as well over the six week period. “It became pretty obvious that there was a need,” she said, noting that many youngsters from the south side are unable to attend after school programs at The Access’ Canal Street site because of transportation and other issues. “Transportation is a big issue,” Hobbs said. “The age of the kid, having the kids walk here from the south side is a concern for some of the parents, and I totally get that. But the main thing has been transportation.” Soon, officials began looking for a permanent place on the south side to offer the program, and began meeting with New Journey’s Youth Pastor Megan Cox and its Pastor Brian Scramlin. The groups reached a plan for the church to offer its facility on Mondays through April. The program

will be re-evaluated then and, Hobbs said, could possibly move back to the South Side Park during the summer. “Wabash County is absolutely blessed by The Access,” Scramlin said. “Youth are navigating difficult life issues and will often open up to safe, caring adults. This organization is providing an opportunity for students to not only do schoolwork and hang out, but receive investment from amazing volunteers. “Since New Journey’s mission is to make life transformation through Jesus Christ accessible to all people, it has simply made sense to partner with them.” South Side Share takes place later than the after school program downtown. That is because the buses arrive on the south side a little later after school, Hobbs said. “As we’re looking at transportation, we’re also having conversations on how we can help in that area,” she said. “For instance, during the holiday party – the combined Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner – First United Methodist provided a bus that went over to the South Side Park, brought kids here for the dinner and took them back. We ran a bus for that night. “Moving forward, that’s something we’d like to explore for weekend events here. Can we do busing for that?” Hobbs said organizers chat with the youngsters to learn what they would like in the program, and one thing that consistently came up was a meal. “It’s all fine and good, we need the adults to come around and do this,” she said, “but then we listen to them to find out what would best help them. So that’s something we’re looking at, crock pot meals. How can we put that together? Can we do that every Monday? “For now, we’re looking at the regular after school menu that we have here.”

ECHO Drag Races were on Jan 18, 2020. This was the last weekend for the drag races in January. There were a total 27 present who came to race and to support their favorite ECHO driver. Qualifying was took place to see who would race whom in their respective classes. The drivers were really anxious to get the races started, but just like all activities there is a certain agenda that has to be followed. There were a couple new drivers come to the races and ECHO Track Officials Michael and Matt Snell let the first time drivers try the Christmas Tree Lights to see how it stages and how the lights countdown to green. This was to help the new drivers understand the use of the hand held controller and to show them what to do when the light turns green. In the practice session for the first time drivers, it was explained what would happen if they left the Christmas Tree too early during an actual race â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the red light would come on and they would be disqualified for that race. After every ECHO Driver registered, the qualifying began. Track Official Matt Snell would tabulate times of each driver and note the names of who would race who and in what class (A or B). Just like NHRA. Qualifier 1 would race Qualifier 16, Qualifier 2 would race Qualifier 15 and so on. Official Bonita Snell served refreshments to the adults and ECHO Drivers while the tabulation of qualifying was in process. The races were all very close in both classes. Each and every driver would win points by their position in each class. 10 points for first, 8 for second, 6 for third and so on. Sixth place and below would receive one point. The winners from this session of drag races were in B Class. Kasen Fitch cut the Christmas Tree with almost perfect lights. He was

The rest will need replacing within the next few years. The deck on the North side of the building needs to be replaced. The siding is in need of being reworked; it is starting to bubble. The alley and Urbana ball

park parking lot need stone. These are just a few of the items that are in need of attention. The Urbana Lions are looking for donations to update the windows to make the Community building more cost efficient and to make arrange-

ments to get the other problems fixed in the future. If you would like to make a donation to this cause you can contact Urbana Lion Luke Hunt 260774-9300. Urbana Yoke Parish will be holding a pancake and (continued on page 2B)

Reception planned Feb. 7 for local artist Visit Wabash County will be hosting an art reception honoring local artist Erika Ford on the completion of her latest piece. The reception is open to the public and will be held at Borders and Beyond in downtown Wabash from 5-7 p.m. Feb. 7. Ford has most recently created a triptych piece that encompasses some of her favorite and most iconic places in Wabash. Sketches throughout the process will be displayed, and Ford will be available

to chat with about her story behind the triptych. The finished piece of art will be on display to the public for the first time during the event, and light refreshments and a cash wine bar will be provided by the Charley Creek Inn. Prints of Ford’s Wabash triptych painting are available for pre-purchase for $40 in advance of the reception by going to visitwabashcounty.co m and clicking on ‘Wabash Art,’ calling 260-563-7171, or stopping in the Visit Wabash County

Sample of Erika Ford’s artwork. Photo provided. Welcome Center. Stop by the open house at Borders and Beyond to pick up preordered prints and meet Ford. Those unable to make the reception but still want to preorder a print, may pick it up after Feb. 7 at the

Museum to screen PBS program Officials from the Wabash County Museum and PBS39 announced that NOVA’s latest programming can be viewed at the Crystal Gayle Theater. Wabash County Museum will offer a free preview screening of the upcoming NOVA special “Polar Extremes” on Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 6 p.m. The special features renowned paleontologist Kirk Johnson on an adventure through time at the polar extremes of our planet. Following a trail of strange fossils found in all the wrong places — beech trees in Antarctica, hippolike mammals in the Arctic — Johnson

uncovers the bizarre history of the poles, from miles-high ice sheets to warm polar forests teeming with life. What caused such dramatic changes at the ends of the Earth? And what controls the dial on Earth’s thermostat? Today, the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else in the world, and Antarctica has locked in its ice enough water to raise sea level by a terrifying 200 feet. The way that the poles respond to a warming climate is one of the greatest wildcards in predicting our climate future. Johnson uses Earth’s history, written in stone, as a cipher to decode what is going on at our

polar extremes today, and what the future may hold. “We continue to be excited to offer this joint programming with PBS39 in Wabash County,” said Mitch Figert, President and CEO of the Museum. “PBS continues to

offer high quality content that is intriguing to guests of all ages.” For more information those interested can visit w w w. w ab a s h m u s e um.org and click on Events or call the Museum at 260-5639070.

paint this triptych by seeing all the work that has been happening in and around downtown Wabash such as the Eagles Theatre renovation, the Wabash River Trail, and the many other buildings that

have already been renovated or are in the process,” Ford said. “With some guidance from Christine Flohr, I made a list of Wabash landmarks old and new that I wanted to include in this triptych.” Ford is a Wabash native currently studying Visual Communication Design at Purdue University. From a very young age, she has shown an interest in art and was always making a mess of art supplies at her mom’s store, Borders and Beyond. She works in

many different mediums including acrylic, ink pen, colored pencil, and digital. This past summer she completed an internship with Fourfeet Design in London where she learned about the graphic design industry. Upon graduation she hopes to work for a graphic design agency. Those who would like to attend the reception honoring Ford, should email visitorservices@visitwabashcounty.com or call 260-563-7171. Please RSVP to the event by Jan. 31.

P.E.O. members meet Article provided

Members of P.E.O Sisterhood Chapter BY had their monthly meeting on Monday, Jan. 13 at Miller Merry Manor North. There were 12 members present for the meeting when it was called to order by president Sue Gray. A discussion of students eligible for P.E.O scholarships revealed that there are three students that have expressed interest. Two students are in the process of completing applications, and the third will be interviewed in the coming month to help determine if she would meet the criteria for a scholarship application. It was decided to donate money earned during the fundraiser with Garden Gate Nursery to the Star Scholarship fund and an equal amount to the general scholarship fund to be used as needed. Monday, Jan. 21, 2020 is designated “Wear Your Pin Day.” Members of P.E.O are encouraged to wear their P.E.O pins the entire day to generate discussions about P.E.O and what it is about. It is hoped that these discussions will help women decide to become P.E.O Members in the future.

A THOUGHT TO PONDER: “In life it is best to try to anticipate future events. It usually makes us seem faster at our tasks. You hear a lot of talk in sports about quick reflexes, but what passes for quick reflexes is often nothing more than good concentration which leads to anticipation. You have to work at good concentration and anticipation, the same way you work at anything else.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

It s tea time! By Laura Kurella This cool winter weather is brewing up plenty of good reason to seek out ways to get warm, and one way that not only offers some heat but also health, is a wonderfully-hot cup of tea! Known as an ancient ritual, “Cha Dao” or “the Way of Tea” in China and Japan, teadrinking is richly-steeped in tradition and has played an important role in both culture and in the health of many cultures for centuries. While we Americans are late-in-coming to this centuries-old tea party, once we learned from modern science about tea’s amazing benefits, we were prompt to hop on that tea wagon! With studies suggesting that tea drinkers have significantly lower levels of total cholesterol and LDL or “bad” cholesterol, and high-

er levels of HDL or “good” cholesterol, tipping your teacup is a great and relaxing way to also decrease your risk for heart attack and improve your overall cardiovascular health! Tea has specially shown to help reduce inflammatory markers and the narrowing of arteries while increasing antioxidant activity. Studies are finding that hot tea drinkers often have a smaller waistline too. Research in this area suggests that the combination of catechins or bioactive compounds and caffeine present in tea increase energy, which has a weight-modulating effect. Additionally, tea also contains no sodium, fat, carbohydrates, or sugar, and is calorie free, so it naturally reduces calorie intake. Green tea can help ward off later-in-life dementia which, according to a study, was noted in subjects who drank five cups of tea daily.

Tea may also help beat anxiety and that sluggish feeling too, which makes it the perfect mid-afternoon drink. Perhaps this explains why so many cultures have turned taking an afternoon tea break into a ritual! According to a cross-sectional study, those who drank tea felt less tired and reported higher levels of subjective work performance. Early research also suggests that green tea consumption may be related to reductions in anxiety thanks to bioactive components Ltheanine and catechins like EGCG. Coming in a wide range of formulas, ranging from a pleasant, “pick-me-up” to a bedtime relaxer that helps you get more zzzs, there’s virtually no end to the flavors or medicinal properties you can blend into a hot cup of tea! Here now are some warm and wonderful ways to host a daily tea party of your own. Enjoy!
