Benefit to help N. Miami alumnus By The Paper staff
A benefit to help Miami County resident Jim Fouts will take place from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, at the Peru Moose Lodge No.249. A Miami County resident and 1979 North Miami High School graduate, was diagnosed in May with rare and aggressive A. L.L. Leukemia. This type of leukemia typically targets children and only 6,000 adults per year are diagnosed with the disease that targets the white cells. He has been hospitalized in St. Vincent’s Hospital, Indianapolis, since May receiving chemotherapy that did not work. He just recently participated in a new drug therapy called Blincytoin but this therapy costs $178,000 for one round of the d r u g (doctors recommend 9 rounds). T h e drug is o n l y keeping h i m a l i v e until he can get into an JIM FOUTS experimental clinical with the drug CAR-T in Houston, Texas. This one month treatment costs $500,000. With the treatment, doctors will remove all his white cells and fly them to a lab to fix the bad ones and fly them back to Houston to put back into his body. Fouts over the last 20 years has run the Super Hoops basketball camps/tourneys all over the State of Indiana and operated a T-shirt business called IPtees in Peru. His youngest son, Kyle Fouts, will be taking over the business for him. His wife, Lee Ann Fouts, has been employed full time at Kroger's for 38 years and must continue working to support the family so she is not able to be in Indianapolis on a continuing basis but travels back and forth from Mexico to Indianapolis. The medical bills alone are (continued on page 4)

Heartland gets simulator for criminal justice class Gift can also be used by local law officers By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Two gifts to the Heartland Career Center will benefit not only students in the school’s criminal justice program, but local law enforcement agencies as well. Vincennes University recently purchased a VirTra simulator that puts students in to virtual shooting situations. Meanwhile, a grant from Wabash Count Prosecutor William Hartley Jr.’s office enabled instructor Leroy Striker to purchase three weapons – two handguns and a rifle – to sync up with the simulator. The simulator and weapons were recently demonstrated to local law enforcement personnel, as well as to officials from the Area Career Center in
Hammond. “It was a $56,000 item,” Jennifer Hughes, Associate Dean of Early College at Vincennes told The Paper of Wabash County. “We wanted to bring a more interactive experience to the student, and to be able to use that to share with the law enforcement community.” Sharing, she said, “will bring them into the building to talk about careers with the students who are interested in pursuing that law enforcement pathway.” Striker discussed the program, as well as the three weapons he purchased – a Glock .22, a Sig Sauer .226 and an AR15, firearms similar to those used by police departments today. The firearms have been modified and re-equipped with computer software and carbon (continued on page 4)
Wabash outlines points for Phase II of study By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
Wabash City Schools Board of Education began pinpointing proposal objectives on Monday, Nov. 20, for Phase II of the Community Foundation of Wabash County’s Studies for Advancement. A feasibility-research initiative to assist Wabash County school corporations, the studies’ first phase began in April and concluded in September. After learning the results of Phase I, the MSD of Wabash County, Wabash City Schools and Manchester Community Schools school boards individually agreed to continue talks with the Foundation in regards to the studies. However, that changed Tuesday, Nov. 14, when the CFWC announced the second phase will focus on “further investigation of district consolidation,” according to a press release. The MCS School Board voted unanimously to decline pursuing investigative research of countywide consolidation. Meanwhile, MSD of Wabash County discussed crafting an alternative proposal to widen the research scope of Phase II to investigate more than consolidation. The Wabash school board was the sole corporation to act in favor of Phase II’s focus and begin pinpointing research goals. “The RFP (request for proposal) from the Community Foundation really was calling for two (continued on page 5)
Arc of Wabash to host art exhibit By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Arc of Wabash County will present “A Touch of Arc,” an art show and reception, during First Friday activities on Friday, Dec. 1. The exhibit will be at Modoc’s Market in downtown Wabash, from 5-8 p.m. The artwork on display is produced by clients of Arc of Wabash County that is created during the organization’s art program. Works of more than 20 artists may be purchased and taken home that night. Payment must be in the form of check or cash. “The exhibit will be in the
Modoc’s meeting room area,” art instructor Kathy Bakehorn told The Paper of Wabash County. “It will be a reception, so there will be some sort of light refreshments. Coffee and stuff like that you have to buy from Modoc’s.” She praised the artists’ work, calling the paintings “wonderful.” “They are reasonably priced and would make great Christmas gifts,” she continued. “The paintings range from $25 to $95.” In addition to the sale, one painting created by a client will be auctioned off.

County to sell surplus file cabinets By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com Several used file cabinets are up for sale by the Wabash County government. The county commissioners approved a public sale of the surplus equipment
from the extension office at their Monday, Nov. 27, meeting at the request of County Auditor Marcie Shepherd. Five used but good condition, four-drawer file cabinets will be available at the Courthouse for $25 each. “The filing cabinets are actually really good. According to IC Code 5-22-22, we can put an amount on those, and just put like a tag on those saying how much they are, and if anybody’s interested in them they can contact the
Auditor’s Office,” Shepherd said. Commissioners Barry Eppley and Scott Givens briefly discussed the price, settling at $25 per cabinet for an unspecified length of time. Commissioner Brian Haupert was absent. A d d i t i o n a l l y, Shepherd asked for after-the-fact approval to dispose of five other file cabinets, a topic which the board has
touched on several times in the past few months, and permission to dispose of an additional 17 file cabinets from the S h e r i f f ’ s Department. “On Oct. 27, five four-drawer filing cabinets were scrapped out, and one of those was given to the Wabash airport. Just wanted to make sure that we have approval for doing that. And, currently there are 13
four-drawer filing cabinets and three three-drawer filing cabinets located in the sheriff ’s office that need to be disposed of,” Shepherd said. Sheriff Bob Land said that Deputy Matt Cox and County Coordinator Jim Dils have been working to decide how many cabinets the department wants to keep “for training purposes”. The commission-
ers approved the disposal of up to 17 cabinets from the S h e r i f f ’ s Department, with an unspecified amount to remain for training purposes, as well as the disposal or donation of the five cabinets from October. Shepherd also requested permission to use the county’s Highway Department to dispose of the next round of file cabi-
North Miami dairy team places sixth: North Miami’s national qualifying dairy team recently competed at the National FFA convention held in Indianapolis, Indiana on Oct. 24-28. The team finished sixth in the nation. Team members are (from left) Coach Chris Jones, Coach Glen Jones, Hannah McVay, Eilee Deniston, Olivia Kuhn and Sarah Eckrote. The two day contest consisted of teams evaluating dairy herd records and scenarios and presenting team recommendations on how to improve the herd. They also evaluated and placed dairy cows and heifers based on physical traits and then defended their placing by giving oral reasons. Eckrote, Kuhn, Deniston and McVay were ranked in the gold division as a team. All four individuals ranked gold individually as well. McVay placed sixth, Deniston placed 13th, Eckrote placed 27th, and Kuhn placed 29. McVay received a $600 scholarship for her top ten placing. Photo provided
nets, which was also granted after H i g h w a y Superintendent John Martin gave his approval. “It’s OK with me if it’s OK with you... Marcie and I just feel like we have skipped some steps here, and to cover us, we need your approval to do the work,” Martin said. Eppley concurred, acknowledging concerns voiced by Martin regarding backlash from the state Board of Accounts for not having recorded approval for certain activities. “For the Highway Department to be doing non-highway activities, there needs to be approval for that,” he said. The commissioners also approved a contract extension with Purdue University, and heard the weekly jail report. “I have an extension of contractual services between Purdue University and the Wabash County government. It’s just for the amounts that we pay to the extension office,” Shepherd said. The extension calls for an appropriation of $108,960 from the county to Purdue University for the services of the Purdue Extension Office from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2018. These services include research-based public education initiatives in the areas of agriculture, health and human sciences and community development, as well as promotion of 4-H and development of the youth who participate in that program. Land delivered the weekly jail report, saying that Wabash County Jail housed 87 inmates, with an additional 45 in Miami County, one in Elkhart County and three in Blackford County, for a total of 136. These included 21 new book-ins.

Former Lebanon UMC members to have reunion By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A reunion of members of the former Lebanon United Methodist Church will take place Saturday, Dec. 9, at the Wabash County Historical Museum. “We are just having a little open house, welcoming anyone who ever attended that church,” Sandy Smith, one of the event organizers, said. “We’re going to have all the information that they have at
the museum over the years (on display).” The reunion will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Refreshments will be served. “We closed the church in 2004, so this is just kind of like a reunion like they have for schools,” Smith said. A longtime member, Smith looks back fondly at her time in the congregation. “I grew up in that church and went to that church until it closed,” she said. “There are all the
memories. There are still a couple of women who went to church with me through their whole lives. We were there to the very end. We were the young ones there. “There are a lot of good memories.” Before it closed, church officials donated a variety of records to the museum. “There are attendance records and rosters and that sort of stuff,” Museum Archivist T.J. Honeycutt said.
North Miami team places 12th: North Miami’s poultry evaluation team traveled to Indianapolis to represent Indiana on the national level by competing in the National FFA Poultry Evaluation Career Development Event. The team earned the privilege by winning the state contest this past May. Team members are (from left) Bella Borse, Lucretia Eckrote, Kate Cobler, Trey Mettler. The event took place Oct. 2428 at the National FFA convention. The contest required the competitors to judge live birds, identify parts, complete a written exam and grade precooked products. The team also had to give a team presentation on a quality control problem solving scenario set up by a panel of judges. The team 12th place in the nation. Borse and Eckrote both placed gold individually. Cobler and Mettler each earned a silver ranking. The team was coached by Pete Jones and Jim Wildermuth. Photo provided
The museum received the items in 2008, and is now being stored in two boxes in the facility’s archive area. “They were down to five members, and then they said, ‘We can’t keep doing this,’” Honeycutt said. The church, which was more than 100 years old, was first known as the Evangelical United Brethren Church. After it closed, it became a private home. Honeycutt believes that the demise of the church “is a longer repercussion of the reservoirs. It broke that community up. They just went to churches that weren’t so far away.” As archivist, Honeycutt has studied the files and knows some of the tidbits they contain. For example, the church suffered a fire one day, and the roster book for that day still contains soot from the blaze in it. Another he shared stems from a Christmas wedding that was nearly delayed because of a bad winter storm.

The storm cut off power to the building. “They went ahead and did it in candlelight, with 30 or so people that lived nearby as guests,” he said. Preserving such records is extremely important, not necessarily for today, but for years down the road, he believes. “It’s got a lot of different aspects to it,” he said of the record. “You could have religious life as something that’s preserved. What did people do? How did they practice religion? What did it mean to them? That’s all here. “To us, there’s still people living here from that era, so we could just ask. But a hundred years from now, we’re not. “It also says a lot about the communities that were here, particularly, that Somerset which doesn’t exist. That’s a question as well. Preserving this sort of thing will be one of the only things we have about that community. It’s a microcosm of that community.”

Heartland gets simulator for criminal justice class ...continued from the front page
dioxide cartridges that enable the weapons to link up with the VirTra system. Inserting bullets in the modified firearms is impossible, he stressed. “One of the pitfalls we have in the education area is trying to get students acquainted with weapons and firearms,” he said. “As we all know, when you start put-
ting firearms or a live weapon in a high school junior or seniors’ hand, there are liability issues.” The school has tried, but has been unsuccessful, in obtaining grants to purchase such equipment. “When Vincennes University came to us and asked, ‘What is it that you need, what is it that you want, to make the
class more interactive and more beneficial to students?’, we addressed that,” Striker said. The program and simulator, he said, gives students practical exercises “without using live ammunition and without the liability issues.” The program, including details about the weapons, is discussed with parents in an effort to try to put concerns to rest about the weapons use.
“In reality, none of my students were familiar with handguns,” Striker said. “Out of all of my students – about 40 – one or two have ever shot an AR-15. My students don’t shoot, which is kind of interesting.” But, he said, the students had to learn the very basics, including the proper way to stand when shooting a handgun. Deputy Ryan Baker, a firearms instructor, spoke to
the class about proper stance and so forth. “So now, it’s not like ‘Call of Duty’ where we stand there and shoot and have a good time,” Striker said. “There’s a purpose behind it now.” In addition, it helps to weed out students who might find that, through the various situations on the simulator, that law enforcement might not be something they are truly interested in.
“Some of them come to the realization that ‘I’m not comfortable doing this. I’m not comfortable making that decision (to shoot). Maybe law enforcement, or even the military, is not for me,’” Striker said. Striker also showed various situations the simulator has, ranging from a shooting at an office building to holding someone hostage. Through use of a computer, Striker
controls the situation and has the ability to increase the intensity so that deadly force is required, or to decrease the intensity so that gunfire is not needed. The equipment is portable, he noted, so if law enforcement wishes to hold training sessions on it, it can be moved to various spots around the career center so as not to interrupt the classroom.
Arc of Wabash to host art exhibit ...continued from the front page Joyce Devore of Wood’s Flowers & Craft, helps set the prices for the work. In the past, she also helped name the paintings. “This year,” Bakehorn said, “the artists named their own.” Richard, an Arc client, is one of the artists who will have a painting on display. His painting, “Walk With Me,” is priced at $95. If features a scene along a trail in a wooded area in a gold frame. Richard said that painting helps bring
out some good feelings within him. “It makes me feel happy,” he said, adding that he is proud when a painting is finished. Each painting takes about four classes to complete. Classes are one hour long, so each painting takes about four hours. Bakehorn said she gathers a bunch of pictures, and the each client picks one to paint. The class, made up of four people per session, vote on what to paint at a given time. “They have to
paint the same thing,” Bakehorn said, noting that by the end of the class cycle, everyone’s selection is painted. The class uses two mediums – watercolors and acrylic. “The one (Richard) painted is acrylic,” Bakehorn said. Acrylic is like oil, except that it is water based, she explained. “It makes for easy clean up and you don’t have any fumes or anything like that,” she continued. The art program started six years ago through a grant
through the REMC Operation Roundup program. This is the fourth art show. “It took us a year to get enough paintings to have an art show,” Bakehorn said. “Then one year we didn’t have an art show, so this is our fourth show. They have been very successful.” Proceeds from the show help to fund the art program. The REMC grant helped to purchase art supplies such as paint, brushes, paper, canvas, mats and framing. Since then, the program has been
sustained through the shows’ proceeds. “It doesn’t cost our clients anything to paint,” Bakehorn said. “Everything is provided. It is a wonderful opportunity that helps people with disabilities create something beautiful.” After the Dec. 1 show, paintings not sold will be on display and available for purchase at Arc of Wabash, 595 S. Miami St. The building is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Wabash outlines points for Phase II of study ...continued from the front page or more districts to send a joint proposal to investigate — and they were very specific about this —ultimately the question is does consolidation achieve the following?” WCS Superintendent Jason Callahan told the board. “They’re really looking at — and I think what we have been looking at—is would that advance the quality of education for our students, create educational opportunities and then … increasing educational obtainment? “So that’s the question. Would consolidation help improve those things?” Callahan presented potential objectives for the Phase II proposal to cover, noting that the potential proposal points were developed in collabo-
ration with MSD Superintendent Mike Keaffaber. The proposal would include a plan, timeline and budget. Specifically, it would request that the Phase II studies examine various aspects of consolidation including legal considerations, such as school board configuration, financial considerations, facility considerations, transportation configuration, curricular and extracurricular considerations as well as provide a community audit, which would identify the districts’ academic priorities, extracurricular priorities, financial priorities and facility priorities, according to Callahan. Callahan recommended the research should also explore the county’s chal-
lenges and opportunities and student trends. “Two main goals, I think, of the study would be would consolidation lead to increased educational opportunities and … can we do it and be more fiscally efficient?” Callahan said, adding, “Although I would recommend to this board that we don’t lead with the idea that consolidation is about reducing. Instead it’d be about efficiency and creating greater capacity to do more in our mission.” However, with Manchester no longer taking part in the studies and MSD possibly proposing alternative research to investigate, a proposal exploring consolidation may not come to fruition. As per guidelines
stated in the press release, the Foundation requires two or more schools to submit a “joint request for funding that will result in a statement of shared goals for consolidation; interpretation of legal, financial and facility impact of available consolidation models; formation of a shared vision of 21st century education and ways through which such an education could be provided; and implementation of a community engagement plan to identify academic and extracurricular educational priorities.” CFWC Executive Direct Patty Grant said the Foundation remains “a neutral convener and grantmaker to this process” and the organization’s hope “is to
equip school leadership with information and tools” to further the county’s student educational careers. “In her public presentation, Dr. (Carol) Lindquist (studies coordinator) stated that ‘strong schools build strong communities and strong communities build strong schools,’” Grant said. “The future of Wabash County rests largely on the education of our children; we seek to be helpful.” In an interview with The Paper of Wabash County, the WCS board members agreed that they encourage MSD to join in the investigation to research consolidation. “Without adequate data and answering some of those questions, we can’t know what alternatives to look at,” Board
President Kimberly Pinkerton said. “We want the big picture. You have to have the input to be able to make decisions.” Board Vice President Brandon France later added that investigating consolidation is not about competition, but instead answering the question of could consolidation help Wabash County’s youth in their educational careers. “It’s just asking questions to figure out what’s the best opportunities to build programing,” he said. “There’s no preconceived outcomes,” Pinkerton added. “We’re not winning,” France continued. “No one’s winning. The kids want to win. That’s what we’re about. That’s why we’re here. So if that’s in one building,
two buildings, three buildings, we’re not defining any of that. We’re defining what program can we give to our students so that we’re the best. “So the competition is not four miles away. If they want to compete, that’s not what we’re doing. It’s a bigger picture, to me. … We’re all together. It’s Wabash County. … We want to be the best in the state and it’s not about beating the neighbor. If the neighbor wants to help us win, don’t we want to win? I think I speak for everyone on that. Just build the programs to help us.” Board member Tiffanie King added, “We owe it to our kids to at least look into anything that could possibly better us.”

you have to write stuff and that takes up a lot of work whereas when you’re an improviser, you just show up and fly by the seat of your pants,” Sherwood joked. “There might be a higher level of risk, but you don’t have to work as hard.” “We always look forward to an audience that will laugh no matter what,” Mochrie said. “That way we don’t have to work that hard. Assume we’re going to be funny and go on that route.” At Sherwood and Mochrie’s show, audience participation is a must because, without it, there wouldn’t be a (continued on page 6)

Veteran comedic duo Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie return to the Honeywell Center on Friday, Dec. 8, and challenge showgoers to stump them. Known for their appearances on “Whose Line is it Anyways?”, the pair have been performing improvisational comedy together for nearly 15 years. Sherwood told The Paper of Wabash County they look forward to their Wabash return. “We always seem to come back in December to Wabash,” he said. “You know we come for the warm weather and it’s just fun. We love going back to towns because it’s kind of like a family visit. The show is different every time, so we have a lot of people that come see the show every time we come to town because the content is totally different every show. “Even though they’re seeing the same two guys be silly, they’re seeing us do it in a different way.”
In a later interview, Mochrie told The Paper that they enjoy returning to audiences they’ve performed for previously. “I think what we enjoy when we go back to places that we’ve done a few times is trying to find new games that we can do for the audience,” he said. “Because there’s a limited about of games that the two of us can play, we’re always refining or inventing new games. So who knows? We may use Wabash as an experimental (venue) and try out a game we’ve never done before.” This year, the pair’s set is called “Scared Scriptless,”

Sherwood explained, later adding, “We have to open that basket and the audience has thrown all of their idea—some good, some bad— into that basket and we have to make something deliciously funny out of it.”

Another key component to their show is that “we’re always trying to make each other laugh,” Sherwood said. While some parts of the show are similar from show to show, “the rest of the time, we want to surprise not only each other but ourselves, because that’s how you do it,” he continued. “You don’t want to cheat and go ‘Oh. We’re going to do our version of Abbott and Costello’s Who’s on First.’ That’s not what we got into it for. We got into it to really challenge ourselves and play in
that scared place.” Since the duo is well-known from their television appearances, audience members regularly try to stump them, according to Sherwood. “I think that’s part of the fun for them,” he said. “They know we’re funny because they’ve seen us on the show and they kind of want to show up and go, ‘Okay, Mr. Smarty Pants, what are you going to do with this?’ “And that’s kind of a challenge for us. We always want to be playing at the top of our game and doing
that is to take whatever people are throwing at you and then try and do something with it.” Mochrie also noted that part of the show entails the two comedians to craft new ways to get novel suggestions from the audience. “One of the best suggestions we had recently was we asked for an usual activity and we got space kayaking,” he said. “So (we said) ok great. We have never gotten that. We don’t know what we’re going to do with it, but let’s see, and it turned out to be a lot
of fun for us and the audience. “So it really kind of helps when the audience does put us on the spot.” The pair encouraged Wabash to continue to challenge them on the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater stage by attending the show Dec. 8. “We have the most fun when we get a suggestion that we’ve never had before or a suggestion where we go, ‘Oh what are we going to do with this?’” Mochrie said. “The more out of our
comfort zone we are, the more comfortable we are if that makes sense. We get into this mode of controlled panic where we use a suggestion and try to make a scene that’s going to make the audience laugh.” Mochrie and Sherwood’s “Scared Scriptless” show will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available for $20, $35, $49 and $76, and can be purchased by visiting honeywellcenter.org or calling the Honeywell Center Box Office at 260-5631102.

M a n ch e s t e r Intermediate School Principal Randy Self spoke on the special programs offered this year to the 375 fourth, fifth and sixth grade students of the Laketon school, and some of the ways they may earn special recognition and/or be rewarded. The other speaker was Aaron Turner, director of the Wabash homeless shelter New Beginnings, where nine homeless males are housed for a period of time for shelter and rehabilitation. He explained the shelter’s purpose and function, and that basic funding comes from local churches. There is a need for many items
that the community can donate, including personal hygiene items, socks and underwear, and household items of dish soap, laundry soap, paper toweling, bath room tissue, Kleenex, blankets and twin sheets. Fifth District president Roxy Stoner, told of the movie she saw recently, “Thank You for Your Service”, and recommended that all should see it. Additionally, plans were announced for the monthly fish fry on Nov. 10, held at the Bluebird Cafe; a Veterans Day program was planned on Friday, Nov. 10, at 8:30 a.m. at MIS; and a Veterans Dinner was planned for Monday, Nov. 13, at

MU’s Schilling joins board of Progressive Education Network From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — Dr. Heather Schilling, chair and director of teacher education at M a n c h e s t e r University, has joined the board of directors for the national P r o g r e s s i v e Education Network. It allows her a wider platform in which to prepare the next generation of teachers to “step into a public school, infuse their classrooms with progressive principles and push back against the status quo.” This also provides Manchester students with a nationwide network and broadened experiences off campus and outside Indiana. Progressive educators support their students’ deep intellectual development and healthy identity formation, treating them as developing individuals, as active learners and engaged citizens in the broader world. Her passion for the progressive approach to teaching was sparked during her own student days at Manchester, which brought with it her introduction to the liberal arts. As a high school English and history teacher before returning to Manchester, Schilling realized early in her
career what a difference empowering students to own their knowledge and skills can make. “Despite being trained in a traditional education program, I have always been a progressive educator at heart, even when I didn’t have a label for it,” she said. “My courses were infused with interdisciplinary projects and discussions driven by students’ questions. In the mid-1990s, I joined three of my colleagues to create a school within a school completely centered on projectbased learning, and I witnessed firsthand the synergy created in a classroom when students drive the direction of their learning experiences.” After 12 years of teaching in a public school, she joined the E d u c a t i o n Department at Manchester, a small, liberal arts institution in northeast Indiana. Manchester is deeply rooted in social justice and peace studies, and one of the institution’s earliest missions was teacher preparation. “Here at Manchester, I have realized my role in changing the face of education in America,” Schilling said. “By preparing
the next generation of educators to embrace and infuse their vocation with progressive ideas, I can revolutionize the learning experiences of hundreds, maybe thousands of children and young adults.” She became interested in the P r o g r e s s i v e Education Network about three years ago, after a former students sent her a Facebook message telling her that he had found her “people.” “My heart flipped,” Schilling said. She was accepted for NIPEN 3.0 – the network’s intensive, sixday, small-group experience – “and found, for the first time in my career, a group of people who immediately asked how they could help the revolution advance.” A group of her preservice teachers meets weekly in MU’s P r o g r e s s i v e Education Academy. They give up their Friday mornings to engage in enriching professional conversations. They conduct research related to progressive education and teacher preparation, and they are developing the academy to serve as a resource, training site and home for preservice and classroom teachers. “Children deserve schools which engage them in authentic

ways, and children certainly deserve to be in control of their learning,” she said. Hands-on, inquirybased practices allow students to gain knowledge by doing, particularly by participating in projects that improve the lives of others. “The goal is to shift the paradigm to progressive education as the best practice in education. I am a dreamer who works tirelessly to make her dreams reality,” Schilling said. Schilling is engaged in her local and state communities, serving in leadership capacities on MU’s North Manchester campus.

Perseverance means not giving up easily. If you want something to happen, you will keep working on it, even when it’s difficult. If you have problems or fail at first, keep trying until you accomplish your goal. If perseverance is your strength, you work hard to finish what you started. Perseverance is the voluntary continuation of a goal directed action despite the presence of challenges, difficulties and discouragement. Perseverance requires both effort and duration to keep up the task. There will be days when you feel like giving up, days when it seems as though you are not making any progress. It’s during those days that determination and perseverance is all that’s left. Perseverance is what ensures you will continue moving in the direction of your goals. The people who grow and achieve the most are those who embrace the power of perseverance.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

Southwood to host migrant parent outreach By The Paper staff
S o u t h w o o d Elementary School will host a Migrant Parent Outreach Night from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30. This meeting is for migrant families in the Wabash and Huntington counties to give families an opportunity to voice any concerns or needs regarding their children’s education. It also will provide
resources for our families to help their children achieve academic success as well as meet their social needs. The outreach night location changes to encourage more parental participation. Last year Huntington School Corporation hosted the meeting and several families from the Wabash are attended the event, so local officials felt that it would be fair to find a location in Wabash to minimize their travel
time this year without causing a burden on the Huntington families. Due to the mobility of families as well as their work schedules, organizers said they are never sure of how many will actually attend the outreach night. Even though the migrant population in the area is small, we feel that it is important to provide these type of meetings. Dinner will be served.

Apaches, Eagles sweep doubleheaders By The Paper staff
Wabash’s boys and girls basketball teams swept a doubleheader on Saturday from Madison-Grant High School. The Laday Apaches won 65-46, while the boys team won 80-61. Madison-Grant’s girls jumped out to a 13-11 lead after one quarter. The Lady Apaches then took control in the second and third quarters, outscoring the Lady Argylles 38-16. Senior Bailey Yoakum led Wabash with 21 points while sophomore Carmen Higdon added 16. Yoakum led the team with seven rebounds, while junior Tabby Wagner had five. In the boy’s game, Wabash brok an 18-18 first quarter tie by outscoring MadisonGrant 19-8 in the second to take a 37-26 halftime lead. The Argylles battled back in the third quarter, cutting the Apaches lead to 55-46. Wabash then took control again in the fourth quarter, outscoring Madison-Grant 25-15 for the win. The Apaches had three players in double figures, led by Luke Mattern with 18 points. Logan Vander Velden and Trenton Daughtry each added 15 points. Daughtry also led the team in rebounds with 14, while Elijah Vander Velden had 12 and Logan Vander Velden had 11. Also on Saturday, in a rare
occurrence in high school basketball, the top ranked girls and boys teams in Class 2A made a visit to Manchester, with Oak Hill coming away with wins in both games. The girls team topped the Lady Squires 44-31. Oak Hill jumped out to an 11-2 lead, but three pointers from Manchester's Eva Bazzoni and Kennedy Fierstos cut it to 13-8 after one quarter. The Eagles used a 10-4 fourth quarter to take a 3823 lead and held on for the win. Fierstos led the way for Manchester with nine points. Manchester’s boys got a hot start against top-ranked Oak Hill, but the Eagles slowly pulled away with a 59-45 win. The Squires had the hot hand early with Koehl Fluke knocking down three 3pointers, and Brayden Casper hitting one in a 12-0 run, leading to a 19-12 first quarter lead. Oak Hill settled down to start the second quarter with a 13-3 run and led 25-24 at halftime. They extended the lead in the third quarter to 36-26 and held off a fourth quarter comeback attempt from Manchester to get the win. Fluke led the Squires with 17 points, while Weston Hamby and Mason Hamby both had nine points.
High School basketball season has started in the area. On the boys side of things, heading into the holiday weekend, Wabash, Southwood and Manchester are all 0-1 as the Apaches lost to Oak Hill, Southwood lost to Wapahani and Manchester was downed by Missisinewa. Wabash is led by fifth year coach Paul Wright, Manchester has Mark Underwood at the helm in his second year and Southwood is led by John Burris in his 11th season. Northfield, led by Patrick Hopkins in his fourth season plays at Tipton on Friday night. Girl’s high school basketball in Wabash County is well underway. All four schools are off to commendable starts. Heading into the holiday weekend, Northfield was 3-2 under third year coach Melissa Allen, Southwood is 2-2 under rookie head man Chad West, Manchester 3-4 under Jacob Everett in his fourth year and Wabash is 3-2 under Matt Stone also in his fourth year.

THE PAPER

November 29, 2017
VIEWPOINT Something to think about Dear Editor: To all the far left wingers and some of the not so far who think the answer to all our problems is get rid of all assault weapons, here is something to think about: There are more children killed each and every year by doctors performing abortions than people killed by all guns combined. You notice I said children, because that is what they are. The P.C. people in this country can call them a lot of different names because they don’t want you to think of them as children. Yet you sit with your hands folded and your ink pens silent and do or say nothing. You are OK with it because your
Letters to the Editor leaders tell you it is a choice. Ownership of guns is my choice and my right as an American, but you want to limit my choices. Yet you will not even talk about limits on abortions because your leaders tell you it is a woman’s choice. Do yourself a favor and read up on when and how partial birth abortions are performed. If it does not make you sick to
your stomach and your heartache, then you have no heart or respect for any life. If you have o respect for life no matter the age, then you have no right to tell me what kind or how many guns I can have. You can’t put more value on one life then you put on another. You and your leaders can’t say it is OK to take a life by abortion and then
cry when someone is killed by a gun. You can’t have it both ways. Any taking of an innocent life is wrong. Life is life – unborn or 110 years old, and to take an innocent life is still murder. It is not, nor will it ever, be a choice for a male or female. I am not here to change your mind. I am here to say, “Just think about it.” – Bill Parker, North Manchester
Spending taxpayers’ money Dear Editor: The city gets portable restrooms from Warsaw for the chili cook-off. Why not from Wabash? Also, the units are too close to the booths and should be behind. Who wants to eat chili beside a restroom? They are unsanitary and unsightly. Also, why a portable restroom at Huntington Street and none at Carroll Street during the winter months? The industrial park thinks they need a bridge or a culvert across Charley
Overpass is bad Dear Editor: I have heard of some dumb ideas, but this is pretty close to the top. It’s like the bridge to nowhere, only this is an overpass. To put it on a small street that is hardly used, to interrupt a quiet area to put truck traffic on back, narrow streets, that’s dumb. If you’re going to spend that kind of money, why not re-route the train out around town. It would make the noise level go down and the dirt and dust go away. It might even raise property values. It would stop a lot of traffic backups. That would be a winning solution. – Alene France, North Manchester
Creek to get to the western side of the property where there is a blacktop road that runs along that property. John Stephens told me that the county did not want the city to have access to that land. What do you know about TIF money and who has control of it? Why does the city need to pay someone to spend taxpayer money? The city outsources the airport and has for two contract terms of 10 years. The city pays an amount set by the contract that supplies
other items not listed in the contract. The person that is paid by the city in turn pays another person to do the work. Why does the city need to pay a middleman? Why outsource in the first place? The city paid $43,700 for emptying five reed beds at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The last contractor charged $73,000 for six reed beds. That is a difference of $29,300. Per bed, that is a lot of money. Why the difference? Saturday, Nov. 18, would
have been a good day to check and log the areas where the storm drains did not work as they should and decide which to fix first. Was this done? The city also buys Ford vehicles and there is no Ford dealer in Wabash. Why? Does the city not have an oversight committee? Someone should be concerned. Who is looking after the taxpayers’ money? Whatever happened to common sense? - Red Hapner, Wabash
Moose appreciate support Dear Editor: Officials at the Wabash Moose Lodge would like to say a very special thank you to everyone who came to spend Thanksgiving Day with us. We would like to thank all the volunteers: Dave Phillips for blessing the meal; Jim and Holly (Hall) Schlemmer, Christina Stroup, Liam Clark, Kim Bishop, Mikki Bishop, Ernie Kerlin, Chuck and Jody Burkholder, Bob Bishop, Dan and Kristi Karns, John and Therese Bitzle, Nicole Coon, Allie Coon, Karlie Clark, Jamie Coon, Trey Coon, Randy Windsor, Gary and Kelly Stout and Lori Brane.

Again, we can’t thank you enough. – Officers of the Wabash Moose Lodge
Cemetery volunteers do wonderful job Dear Editor: To all that work at the county and township cemeteries west of LaFontaine on the south side of the road: What a change you have made repairing, polishing, straightening, probing, hours
spent hunting markers, some buried under the soil. I’m not sure what all you have done, but I do know that you have worked many hours. Also, I don’t know how many are involved, but you have cer-
tainly done a super job. I really don’t like to single people out, but I feel like sometimes it’s necessary. I’m by the cemeteries different times of the week and it seems Don and Linda Jervis are there looking,

Christ United Methodist Church Pastor Chris Tiedeman will mark his fifth month with the Wabash church on Wednesday, Dec. 6, and is looking forward to the holiday season. Tiedeman, a Noble County native, moved to Wabash with his wife Emily and three children from La Porte. “I’ve been a pastor for 14 years,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “In the United Methodist Church, the bishop appoints us (to churches to lead). So I was given a call by my district superintendent and told, ‘The bishop wants you to serve here,’ and as part of the arrangement that as we have as church and pastor, I go. “My goal is to make sure that
whatever this church does in the community, it is a reflection of God’s love for the community. That will play out in a lot of different ways and that is the overarching goal.” Tiedeman’s calling to become a pastor goes back to the start of his relationship with the United Methodist Church. “I had attended a lot of different churches growing up and in high school, my sophomore year, I met the woman who would eventually be my wife and she invited me to church,” he explained. “It was her dad’s church at the time. We had gotten married two years later. I had started to help lead worship in the church and it was my wife and my father-in-law, who had told me three years before I’d accepted it, that I was being called
CHRIS TIEDEMAN into ministry. “In the mean time, I fought it by (working). I had so many jobs.” Tiedeman worked at places including a Syracuse-based inn, RadioShack and Best Buy. “It was just bouncing around one thing to another,” he said, “and it was only when we moved to West Virginia and things just sort of fell through. It was sort of a dark time. We didn’t know anybody. My work hours did not allow us to get into a church family. “It was just a really dark time, and it was at that time— my story, I sort of compare it to Jonah and the big fish that swallowed me up was West Virginia and then spat me back out in Indiana where I then began the process of b e c o m i n g ordained.” He first began ministry in Pennville, Ind., before also serving in Kewanna, Forest, La Porte and, now, Wabash. “I was in my first appointment for six years, which is about the average,”
Tiedeman said, “but I was hitting some milestones in the ordination process and there just became opportunities for us to move and we moved a little quicker than usual in that process. But we’re hoping to be in Wabash for a good, long time.” The Tiedemans have three children, Nate, 17, Ella, 9 and Carter, who passed away in 2012 and would have been 13years-old. The family also shares their home with Sam, 18, who was a former exchange student from Brazil and now plans to pursue college in the United States. Tiedeman said he welcomes the community to join the Christ United Methodist family for Christmas Eve candle light service, which will begin at 11 p.m. “I have a narrative-style preaching (approach),” T i e d e m a n explained, adding, “It’s really like telling a story of who God is and who we are in light of that.”

Officials encourage all to prepare for winter From the IDHS
With cold weather just around the corner, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security is encouraging all Hoosiers to become more equipped during Winter Weather Preparedness Week, November 12-18. Here are several tips to be actively involved in Winter Weather Preparedness Week. For your home: Make sure homes are well insulated, includ-
ing proper weather stripping around all doors and windows. If the home is not well insulated, consider using storm windows or plastic coverings on windows to help retain heat. Alternative heating and cooking cause many fires in the winter. Make sure to have a fire extinguisher on hand. Smoke alarms save lives! Make sure smoke alarms are up to date and placed on each level of the home, as
well as outside sleeping areas. Know how to shut off water valves properly if a pipe were to burst due to extreme cold. Homeowner insurance policies should be reviewed to ensure that coverage is adequate for winter weather. For your vehicle: Have an emergency kit for the car. It should include: a portable phone charger, extra blankets, jumper cables and an ice scraper, just to name a few.
Make sure all cars have been checked by a mechanic before cold weather hits. The mechanic should check the brakes, heater, defroster, tires and windshield wipers. Having a bag of sand can help improve traction for a car stuck on snow or ice. Hoosiers should use Winter Weather Preparedness Week to create or maintain a home preparedness kit that may be needed during winter storms. Items to include in a

Three people were arrested by troopers working from the Indiana State Police Peru Post during a saturation patrol targeting aggressive and impaired drivers. The patrol lasted from 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 22, until 3:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 23, in Miami, Wabash, Cass, Fulton, Grant, and Howard counties. During the 10.5 hour period, officers concentrated their enforcement efforts on the heavily traveled roads of I-69, U.S. 31, State Road 37, and U.S.24. During the patrol troopers issued 68
traffic citations and 149 written warnings. They also made 10 criminal arrests for various misdemeanor charges. By conducting saturation patrols, Indiana State Police officers hope to deter motorists from driving aggressively or while impaired. Hopefully this will make traveling on Indiana roadways safer. Citizens are encouraged to report suspected drunk drivers by calling 911. Give a location, vehicle description, and direction of travel. Do not follow an impaired or aggressive driver.

MCS board to partner with Singer to perform at ISBA in superintendent search First Church of God By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — At the recommendation of its interim superintendent, Manchester Community Schools will soon begin the process of finding a new head administrator. I n t e r i m Superintendent Mike Pettibone broached the subject during the Nov. 14 meeting of the MCS board of school trustees, recommending that the board utilize the services of the Indiana School Boards Association for the search. “A superintendent search always is a conversation,” he said. “Instead of this group saying, ‘when do we start this search?’, I think we have to have discussion among ourselves – is there a reason not to begin that search in January 2018? “What I would like to suggest, knowing the different groups, is that we bring the ISBA representative to meet with you guys
in executive session just to talk about their process and have a discussion, and ask them the ‘what if ’ questions.” Such questions, Pettibone said, could include how to best involve the community in the process, when the best time to begin the search is and what to do if none of the candidates meet the board’s expectations. Other options for assistance with the search included hiring the services of one of several universities, who generally charge only for travel expenses, or an independent group specializing in school hiring, which Pettibone previously told the board would cost more than $6,000. Board member Sally Krouse was the first to speak in favor of bringing in an ISBA representative. “It might be worth contacting them,” she said, noting that it may take some time to schedule a meeting time that worked for all involved. Her fellow board
members nodded in agreement. Board member Ruth Ayres asked if the board’s ISBA membership included the costs of the superintendent search, to which Pettibone replied that it did not. According to materials supplied by Pettibone, the ISBA provides free copies of its “Superintendent Search Manual” for each board member, and will visit the board free of charge to discuss topics such as the development of candidate qualifications and of brochure and application forms, the creation of timelines, and legal aspects of the search process. The ISBA also will review board procedures for interviews, contract provisions and sample interview questions free of charge. According to the I S B A ’ s Superintendent Search Service fee card, service costs range from $75 for scheduling second round interviews to $800 for an Input
Session Package that includes separate sessions for community members, administrators, teachers, students and support staff. Additionally, the board will be charged mileage at a rate of 53.5 cents per mile. “I was looking over their materials, and it looks like they have a cafeteria menu available for whatever level of leadership you want,” Krouse said. Board Secretary Nathan Trump remained cautious of the situation before voting in favor of the meeting. “We’re not entering into any type of an agreement [by having the meeting]?” he asked, to which Pettibone said they were not. After the unanimous vote, Pettibone said that he would like to schedule an executive session in December for the board to meet with the representative. The board did not set a date at the meeting.

The oldest of three, Shrock’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 minister through music. “As I became an adult and started my own family, I had often wondered why God had not opened that door,” she said. “I now know that there were trials I had to overcome before the doors finally opened.” She is thrilled to be pursuing her dream to sing and share the love of Jesus wherever the Lord takes her.
The public is invited to attend. There is no charge but seating is limited. A love offering will be received for her ministry.
Following the concert, there will be a carry-in dinner at the REMC conference room. Meat, drinks and tableware will be furnished.

ple, if the tree is in front of a large window, then all four sides need to look as good as possible. If the tree is against a wall, a tree with three good sides should be fine. A tree with two good sides would work well in a corner. “Purchasing a tree from a Christmas tree farm ensures that you will have a fresh tree and the more perfect a tree, the more expensive it will be,” Wolford says. Pick a spot away from heat sources, such as heaters, fireplaces, TVs, radiators, and air vents. “A dried-out tree is a safety hazard,” he says. Measure the height and width of the space you have available in the room where the tree will be placed. “There is nothing worse than bringing a tree indoors only to find it’s too tall. Take a tape measure with you to the farm,” Wolford says. If buying from a retail lot, Wolford recommends going during the day. “Choosing a tree in daylight is a much easier experience than trying to pick out a tree in a dimly

URBANA, Ill. – Many people recall nostalgic memories of selecting a Christmas tree with their families. “When I was growing up in Peoria, Illinois,” says Ron Wolford, a University of Illinois Extension horticul-
ture educator, “our family would cut down a Christmas tree growing on my grandparent’s farm.” Today, you can purchase trees from garden centers, pop-up lots, big box stores, and Christmas tree farms. Wolford shares the following tips to help you select a fresh tree for your home and keep it

and drop it on the butt end. Very few green needles should drop off the tree. It is normal for a few inner brown needles to fall. Make sure the handle or base of the tree is straight and long enough so that it will fit easily into your stand. “Store your tree in an unheated garage or some other area out of the wind, if you are not putting it up right away,” Wolford recommends. “Make a fresh, one-inch cut on the butt end and place the tree in a bucket of warm water. When you bring the tree indoors, make another fresh one-inch cut and place the tree in a sturdy stand. The water reservoir of the stand should contain one quart of water for every inch of diameter of the trunk.” Keep the water level above the base of the tree. If the base dries out, resin will form over the cut end and the tree will not be able to absorb water and will dry out quickly. Commercially prepared mixes, sugar, aspirin, or other additives to the water are not necessary. Research has shown that plain water will keep a tree fresh, Wolford says.

USDA Rural Development in Indiana gets new chief From the USDA
INDIANAPOLIS — Michael Dora is the new State Director for USDA Rural Development in Indiana. Dora will begin his new role on Monday, Nov. 13. Dora brings 42 years of experience managing his family’s
grain and livestock operation in Rush County. Having been a volunteer EMT, firefighter, wrestling coach, and local school board trustee, he knows rural needs. Presently, Dora serves as Chairman of Ivy Tech Community College Board of Trustees. He and his
wife of 42 years have two sons and eight grandchildren. As State Director, Dora will use his leadership experience to oversee Rural Development programs in a customerfocused manner to restore prosperity in rural Indiana. Under the direction of Secretary Sonny
Perdue, the USDA will always be facts-based and data-driven, with a decision-making mindset that is customer-focused. Secretary Perdue leads the USDA with four guiding principles: to maximize the ability of American agriculture to create jobs, sell foods and fiber, and feed and
clothe the world; to prioritize customer service for the taxpayers; to ensure that our food supply is safe and secure; and to maintain good stewardship of the natural resources that provide us with our miraculous bounty. And understanding that we live in a global economy where trade
is of top importance, Secretary Perdue has pledged to be an unapologetic advocate for American agriculture. USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This
assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; homeownership; community services such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas. For more information, visit www.rd.usda.gov.
Make this the year to budget for charitable giving Budgets are an important component of personal financing. Without a thorough understanding of the rate of money going in and out of their bank accounts, people cannot accurately assess their potential for spending and saving. Budgets are also handy for paying off debt and planning for the future. Those who budget may find they have more money to devote to leisure or other worthwhile endeavors, such as donating to charity. Establishing a charity budget makes it possible for people to focus on doing good and helping others. Charitable giving also comes with the beneficial side effect of establishing extra tax deductions for some individuals. Many people only think of charitable giving at the end of the year, when the holiday season tends to inspire philanthropy. However, many people’s end-of-year finances are already stretched thin thanks to holiday shopping and entertaining. As a result, men and women who wait until the end of the year to donate may not be able to be as charitable as they would like. That’s why focusing on charity as part of a yearly budget can stretch dollars even further.
Establish a giving level By examining their finances, people can get a better picture of how much money they have for discretionary spending, including charitable giving. However, income alone may not dictate just how charitable a person can be. For example, according to a McClatchy analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the poorest Americans often
donate larger percentages of their incomes than their wealthier counterparts. Generally speaking, the typical amount most people aspire to donate to charity ranges from 3 to 10 percent of taxed income. To make a charitable giving budget work, consider these tips. • Make a list of charities that have meaning to you. If you do not have specific choices, select categories, such as politics, education and community, and then go from there. • Assess your giving ability in dollar value. Be sure charitable giving does not come at the expense of necessary daily living. • Divide the available funds against the charities selected. • Set aside specific times of year that you
will make the donations so as not to feel burdened at any one time of year. • Leave an emergency fund for donations that cannot be planned, such as diaster relief or to
help someone with medical bills. • Sign up for recurring payments for yearly giving to take the work out of remembering to give. Other organizations can distribute dona-
tions to the kinds of charities you prefer, making giving even more automatic. Budgeting for charitable giving enables greater year-round control of funds for beneficial purposes.

Use caution when cooking over holidays From the ISDH
Thanksgiving is the leading day for home cooking fires, and many home fires and related injuries are caused by unattended cooking. During the hustle and bustle of this holiday season, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and the State Fire Marshal are reminding citizens to remain attentive in the kitchen. “Home cooking during the holiday season can be a major concern if important fire safety practices aren’t followed,” said Indiana State Fire Marshal Jim Greeson. “Every holiday season, cooking is a leading cause of home structure fires. It is important for Hoosiers to talk to their families about fire safety and what to do in the event of a fire in their home.” The following are some important safety tips that are applicable yearround, but are especially important during the holiday season.
Stay in the kitchen while cooking food. If there is a need to leave the kitchen even for a short period, turn off the stove. Regularly check food that is cooking and use a timer to avoid forgetting items. Keep any flammable objects such as oven mitts, utensils, food packages and towels away from the stovetop. Use the stove’s back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove. Clean up food and grease from burners and stovetops, and be sure that the oven is clean and free from residue. More than half of non-fatal home cooking fire injuries occur when residents try to fight the fire themselves. Below are tips for addressing kitchen fires. Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water to extinguish a grease fire. Keep a lid nearby when cooking to
smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turn off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled. In the event of an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. If the fire is too large to address safely, evacuate the home and call 911. When deep-frying a turkey, up to five gallons of oil must be heated before placing the turkey into the device. Tests have shown that some turkey fryers are not sturdy and can easily tip over, allowing hot oil to spill and creating a serious risk of fire or scalding. When deep-frying a turkey, follow these safety tips: Cook outside on a level surface several feet away from any building. Never use turkey fryers on wooden desks, balconies or inside garages. Don’t overfill the fryer with oil. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the proper amount of oil to
use. Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and dry before placing it in the fryer. A partially frozen turkey can cause a fiery reaction. Never leave the fryer unattended. Most units do not have thermostat controls and the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire. Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching the pot or lid holders. If possible, wear safety goggles to protect eyes from oil splatter. When finished cooking, allow oil to completely cool before disposing. “The holiday season is also an important time to make sure households have working smoke alarms on all levels of the home, including the basement and outside of every sleeping area,” said Greeson. “Smoke alarms save lives, giving occupants the much needed time to escape in the event of a fire.”

multiply by the number of kernels in one length of the ear. With the help of a new imaging machine developed at the University of Illinois breeders can learn the number of kernels per ear, plus a lot more information than can be
manually observed. “If you take that same ear of corn into a lab, you can take the same approach but use an imaging system to get a more accurate measure of the total number of kernels,” says Tony Grift, lead scientist on the project. “But

you can go a lot further than that. By pinning the ear on a spike and turning it automatically, we can present each row individually to a camera. This allows us to determine up to 16 morphological characteristics of each kernel, including kernel area, circumference, and circularity, a measure for how close the kernel shape is to a circle. We can also calculate the center of gravity and the location of the kernel on the ear, in fact we use these to make sure we don’t count kernels more than once.” The imaging machine itself isn’t fancy. It’s more like a tabletop photography studio. A single halogen light is hung outside, above the box. The box itself is made from high-density polyethylene or HDPE, which is typically used to make cutting boards. This plastic adheres to virtually nothing (which is ideal for cutting boards) including glue, so it was assembled with bolts and fasteners. Grift says the key is in the lighting. “Having a good camera is one thing, but light is very important. Light has to come from every-

How to cut back on holiday waste The holiday season is a joyful time of year. But the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day also tend to be very wasteful. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that household waste increases by more than 25 percent during the holiday season. Reducing waste come the holiday season does not mean celebrants have to forgo big family meals or beautifully wrapped gifts. In fact, there are several ways to reduce
waste without spoiling the spirit of the season. Give eco-conscious gifts. The environment may not be the first thing that comes to mind when holiday shoppers are looking for gifts for their loved ones. But giving reusable gifts can have a positive, long-term impact on the planet. Reusable coffee mugs or water bottles can dramatically reduce waste over time, and such items make great stocking stuffers. Shoppers also can look for items made from recycled materials, which run the gamut
from home furnishings to calendars to clothing, as eco-friendly alternatives to gifts produced without the environment in mind. Reuse holiday-specific items. Many people only use gift wrap, gift boxes and gift bags during the holiday season. Such items are oftentimes discarded after Christmas morning. But these items can be reused to cut back on holiday waste. Reusing wrapping paper from year to year can be especially beneficial to the environment. That’s because wrapping paper tends to be dyed
or laminated, and many wrapping papers contain nonpaper additives that cannot be recycled. Reusing wrapping paper, purchasing only recyclable paper or wrapping gifts in old newspapers or magazines can help holiday celebrants reduce their carbon footprints. Prepare less food and donate any leftovers. The Worldwatch Institute notes that, during the holiday season, celebrants generate three times as much food waste as they do during other times of the
year. Large family meals are a tradition of the holiday season, but hosts who routinely find themselves discarding leftovers can plan on preparing less food this year. Consider how much guests are likely to eat and plan meals accordingly instead of buying enough food to feed a small army. Donate leftovers to nearby shelters so nothing goes to waste. Recycle live Christmas trees. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, 25.9 million real trees were sold in the United

States in 2015. Trees put out on the curb for collection after the holiday season has ended typically end up in landfills, but some communities recycle Christmas trees each year. Real tree enthusiasts can contact community officials to determine if they can recycle rather than discard their trees. The holiday season is a wasteful time of year, but there are ways for celebrants to dramatically reduce their carbon footprints between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.

Knights help local groups: Linda Johnson, President of ARC of Wabash accepts a check from Joe Accetta, of the Knights of Columbus, North Manchester. The North Manchester Council 16440 of the Knights of Columbus from St. Bellarmine Catholic Church presented a total of $1,275 in donations to three organizations in Wabash County, ARC of Wabash, Special Olympics and Vernon Manor, with each receiving one third of the total.

Using the box is simple: You open the door, put the ear of corn on the spike, close the door, and a motor automatically rotates the ear as many times as needed to capture all rows. The motor and two cameras inside are controlled by a computer program that records the information.” Grift says he’s been working with U of I maize breeder Martin Bohn since 2002 on perfecting imaging boxes. “We began working with roots, we called the box the Corn Root Imaging Box or CRIB,” Grift says. “Corn roots have an awkward shape which is difficult to capture. But we can calculate the stalk diameter, the root angle, and the fractal dimension, which is a way to describe a root’s complexity.” He says that at some point, he and his colleague Abdul Momin realized that they could put anything inside the box and decided to experiment with an ear of corn. Because an ear of corn is a natural object, the variations can make it difficult to image accurately. “It’s easier with ears that have very ‘wellbehaved’ rows of kernels,” Grift says. “The rows on some ears of corn begin to spiral a bit, making it difficult to get an accurate reading without duplicating some kernels. Former students Wei Zhao and Yu Zhang made adjustments to allow for missing kernels, dead kernels, or some that were squeezed together or twisted, but overall, the imaging system works well.” “This is where it gets really interest-
ing,” Grift says. “All of the measurements mean very little to us. I like to joke that we agricultural engineers are just glorified technicians on the project. We just provide the numbers in spread sheets. The spread sheet then goes to Martin Bohn who creates a QTL map—quantitative trait loci map—that associates the particular characteristics of the kernel with the genes that control them.” Martin Bohn, corn breeder and geneticist in the Department of Crop Sciences at U of I and co-author, notes that improved phenotyping methods, like the one this paper focuses on, are critical if we want to leverage genomic information in breeding and genetic research. “Most plant characteristics that determine the agronomic potential of plants are highly complex,” says Bohn. “For example, a large number of genes, mostly with small effects, contribute to traits farmers are interested in, such as yield, efficient uptake and use of nutrients, tolerance to drought, heat, cold, etc. We can only hope to find these important but small effect genes if we can measure plant traits efficiently and accurately for a large number of plants, hence the term highthroughput phenotyping. The method we report here does not only provide the technology to do exactly this, but it might also be possible to go beyond this. Imagine, being able to determine the nutritional content of each kernel on the cob using our approach. We would love to expand this idea and work with companies to move on from manual, tedious field measurements to smart imaging techniques.”
