Group explores impacts, consequences of 5,000 fewer residents in Wabash County
By 2050 Wabash County could have 5,000 fewer residents than it does today. This slow but steady decline began in 1980 when the county reached its high point for inmigration and population. That year, close to 400 people moved in and the population tipped over 36,500 residents for the first time. Since then, between 50 and 100 households have left each year. Population isn’t the only measure for community vitality, but the consistent loss has had an impact and will continue to compound. Communities in decline around Indiana and the broader Midwest have experienced a wide range of effects as a result of the trend. Some of these are expected, direct impacts like declining school enrollment, and lower tax revenue or increasing tax burden. Many are more subtle, like a softening retail and housing market, smaller workforce, and others. Now four decades into the trend, Wabash County can document the changes. A loss of 5,000 additional people would mean 1,800 fewer families and their children in the county’s three school districts, 2,000 fewer needed housing units, along with a greater tax burden on remaining residents and businesses. “We tend to get fixated on the overall number when we talk about population as communities, but really, it’s about continued investment and sustainability,” said Adam Penrod, North Manchester Town Manager. “New people mean more than just our ranking in the state. They mean new families, students, homeowners, businesses, and amenities. Without this energy it makes everything just a little harder.”

Heartland student wins state nail care competition, advances to national By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com
Vivian LeMaster, a Wabash High School senior and Heartland Career Center (HCC) Cosmetology student recently placed first in the Cosmetology: Nail Care portion of the SkillsUSA competition. SkillsUSA is an organization that is designed to be a student organization who attend technical and trade schools. SkillsUSA provides an opportunity for members to prove their industry readiness by testing their skills and abilities to standards set and assessed by industry partners. These competitive events begin at the local level and allow students to advance to regional, state, and national levels for recognition. Through the SkillsUSA Championships, members are able to connect with professionals within the field and develop relationships for future employment and success.

Regionally, however, the population picture is more positive and points toward opportunity for the county. As Wabash decreased from 1980, the 11-county region centering on Fort Wayne grew by more than 150,000, or 25 percent. This growth outpaced the state (23 percent over the same period) and has continued through 2020 with bold plans to reach one million total residents in the area by 2030. Imagine One 85 is a process to confront the population challenge head on. Through direct engagement with the community and stakeholders and in-depth analysis of the county’s conditions and trends, the Steering Committee is working to develop a strong and visionary plan to help lead the communities of the county toward growth. A recent presentation by the group revealed that the county would need to grow by 85 new families or households each year in order to recapture it’s previous population high in 25 years. The “+85” initiative is emerging as a central recommendation of the work, with strategies focused squarely at the challenge. On July 14 the Steering Committee will host an event to explore the challenges and potential of Wabash County. The Imagine One 85 Growth Summit will be a unique and interactive moment for community members to share and make a direct impact on their community. The meeting will take place from 6 to 8 PM on the Honeywell Plaza and include food and entertainment highlighting the best of Wabash County. Attendance is free and registration is available on the project website, www.imagineone85.org.

LeMaster, who competed as a team of herself and her model, told The Paper of Wabash County that the competition process was taxing. “Starting out, we had to register for competition and get our contestant account set up and know our contestant number. We had two separate tests, 50 questions each,” she said. “In addition to the tests, we were required to submit an integrity statement and an integrity form with our signature. Leading up to the competition we had to collect all the supplies that were listed as requirements, such as monomer, polymer, nail files, first aid kit, disinfection utilities, even an LED light to cure the gels. Due to current CDC restrictions, state contest was held at Heartland Career Center in the Cosmetology class room. I was excused from my morning classes in order to compete with the other girls.” All contestants had an hour to do a pink and white French tip overlay set of nails. On one hand, contest-

ants were required to use acrylic sculpted with a form and on the other hand, hard gel with a glueVIVIAN LEMASTER on tip. Contestants were judged based on the nail surface’s smoothness and the curved line of the French tip. “In addition to the acrylic and hard gel application we had one hour to perform nail art on one of the hands,” said LeMaster. “We could use acrylic paint, nail polish, or gel polish. We could not use stencils, rhinestones, stickers or other items that would have the effect of art. Everything needed to be 2 dimensional and entirely free handed.” Continued on Page 17

Heartland seniors receive certificates By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Seniors at Heartland Career Center were honored Monday, May 24, during the annual Certificate Presentation and Career Excellence Recognition. In addition to the certificate presentation, nine Heartland students were named recipients of the school’s 2021 scholarships. Receiving the scholarships were Cherish Allen, Brooke Bowling, Gabe Garber, Lilly Gentry, Taylor Hoover, Hayley Houlihan, Sheldon Jones, Abigail Schuler and Gabi Wagoner. Before presenting the certificates, Supervisor of Student Services Pete Dupont noted that Heartland students accounted for 3,190 college credit hours in the dual credit program. “We also had 170 students earn industry recognized certifications,” he continued. “Congratulations to all those students who earned those honors.” Dupont also discussed the Career SUCCESS honors received by some students. “The Career SUCCESS award is based on seven criteria,” he said. “The criteria are scholastic achievement, ultimate attendance, a caring attitude, a committed team player, excellent behavior, superior job performance and a servant’s heart, or service to others. “These skills were developed and emphasized in a classroom setting. In addition, many of these skills were also reinforced in activities and youth organizations offered through the Career Center.” Student youth organizations are integral parts of the students’ time at Heartland. “Each student is offered the opportunity to participate in one of three student organizations through their individual programs,” Dupont noted.

“Heartland student programs include Business Professionals of America – BPA, SkillsUSA and Family Career and Community Leaders of America, FCCLA. These organizations are partnerships between students, teachers and employers to provide students with training, skills and competition that will prepare them for employment in their designated fields.” Heartland had 104 combined participants in the various organizations, down from previous years because of the COVID 19 pandemic, he continued. Of the 104 students participating in the organizations, 34 qualified for state competitions, and 10 qualified for national competi-
tions. “This is our seventh year to induct students in the National Technical Honor Society,” Dupont said. “We had 68 students who qualify for this honor – 37 juniors and 31 seniors.” To qualify for the honor, students must: maintain an A average in their technical class, a B-plus average overall on their high school transcript, exceptional attendance at both Heartland and their sending schools, show positive leadership qualities, and receive a recommendation from their Heartland instructor and either the principal or an instructor from their high school. “Juniors with this award receive a provisional award, mak-
ing them eligible in their senior year, while seniors receive full membership,” Dupont said. “Seniors earning this honor receive a purple and gray graduation cord that they can proudly wear at high school graduation.” Seniors crossed the Ford Theater stage according to courses, receiving their certificates from their instructors.

During their nearly forty blessed years together, Laura worked at Messer’s Greenhouse from 1993 to 1999. In 2000 Laura started working for Allen Feeds in North Manchester, eventually retiring in the Fall of 2013. Laura was a beautiful, quiet soul who enjoyed tending to her flower gardens. She was always hardworking and rarely complained, even when her health began to fail. Laura loved watching birds, especially Hummingbirds, but her favorite animal was her dog, Daisy Duke, who Laura referred to as her favorite four-legged kid. On Sunday mornings, Laura and Leo could be found at Liberty Mills Church of the Brethren in Liberty Mills, where they faithfully worshipped the Lord. The loving memory of Laura M. Judy will be forever cherished by her husband, Leo Judy, North Manchester; son, Ronald (Krista) Durham, Charleston, S.C.; three grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and the many people who thought of Laura as a mother, grandmother, and friend.

Quiet Observations
My 20/20 view of the world
I do a lot of traveling in my line of work. 60,000 miles a year roughly. That’s an extremely large amount of windshield time. With all that time in a vehicle it becomes my mobile office. Plus, I generate my fair share of trash from newspapers and mail from all my 20 newspapers. That trash usually ends up in the backseat. I really try to make sure I begin each week with a clean vehicle. Nothing worse than having a messy office. As I was cleaning my vehicle for this week, I came across an envelope I totally forgot about. I believe it had been in my center console for several weeks. As I opened up the forgotten envelope I discovered $100 inside. I thought, woo-hoo! That envelope was one of God’s unexpected blessings. I thought boy my lucky day. I could use that unexpected monetary find to treat myself. I was thinking of a marshmallow malt or two were coming my way. In my travels, I conduct a fair share of business on the road. Many times, I’ll have to stop and check
calls, texts or emails. If I have to answer many emails, I’ll stop at a local fast food place to use their free internet. It’s very convenient to move my mobile office inside since I have my trusty laptop and internet. On this particular day I stopped at a McDonalds. Got my half and half sweet tea and found a quiet spot in the restaurant. Got my computer out and started answering emails. Then in the quiet of Ronald McDonald’s house I overheard a couple talking. Mind you I wasn’t eavesdropping, but they were close enough to me I could hear their discussion. OK, maybe I was eavesdropping. You can’t tell me you’ve never eavesdropped on someone’s conversation. Their conversation centered around planning their upcoming shopping trip at a supermarket. They had a grocery insert with all the specials this store was having
for this week. As they went through the flyer page by page, they were adding up their planned expenditures. They were very dutiful in counting every penny they planned on spending to purchase groceries. The couple, who I could tell learn differently than others, discussed how much money each one had on their card. They divided up their planned purchases between themselves so they could make sure they had enough purchasing power to buy this week’s groceries. They were very methodical in their shopping approach. As I sat there, OK, by now eavesdropping, I became very aware of how blessed I am. Only by the grace of God that wasn’t me sitting there planning my shopping trip and counting my pennies. We all are truly blessed beyond measure if we really stop and take a look around. If you woke
up this morning… you are blessed. If you have a roof over your head…you are blessed. If you have family and loved ones…you are blessed. The list goes on and on of the many blessings we have in our lives if we would just stop and count them. Once I finished answering emails, I packed up my computer, refilled my iced tea and walked by the couple. As I walked by them on my way back to my mobile office, I quietly slid the found envelope to the couple and walked away. That couple was another unexpected blessing to me. They reminded me not to take for granted the many God given blessings we enjoy. The envelope, I hope, was an unexpected blessing to them. Here’s a fitting quote I found the other day, “When you count your blessings, you realize you’re doing just fine.” Look for those unexpected blessings and pass them on. Remember, always be kind. You never know how a person could be struggling behind a smiling face. Pass on the kindness.

Tourism a key part of Wabash County A new study released by Christine Flohr, executive director of tourism for Visit Wabash County, shows the critical impact tourism has on Wabash County’s economy. The economic importance of tourists to a community extends well beyond core hospitality and transportation sectors. Tourism Economics offers a solution to the efforts of destination marketing organizations such as Visit Wabash County and to industry associations that marries rigors methodology and compelling communication to raise the profile of tourism as an economic engine. Standardly, the report reflects one year in arrears, due to the extensive time it takes to collect and process data. The report concluded the following Wabash County tourism highlights: Spending by visitors to Wabash County totaled $59 million in 2019, up $3.1 million from the previous year. Visitors spent $17.5 million on retail, $16.9 million on food & beverage, $12.4 million on transportation/fuel, $7.1 million on recreation & entertainment, and $5 million on lodging. These are the key categories monitored by the study. Of every tourism dollar spent in Wabash County in 2019, 44 cents stayed local and led directly to the gross county product of Wabash County. Relieved the tax burden to Wabash County residents by $396 per household. Surpassed the State Median for Annual Tourism Growth by 5.6 percent and more than 3.2 percent of the median for all Indiana counties. “The report reflects how imperative the work of Visit Wabash County is and measures the success of our efforts,” said Flohr. “Knowing that $59 million in visitor spending has funneled into our communities translates to economic growth and shows how important tourism is to Wabash County’s vitality.
Knowing that visitor spending increased by $3.1 million from the previous year indicates that the work we are doing alongside of our partners is strengthening our county as a whole. We recognize that success and are continually looking for ways to ensure that increase continues.” The study was commissioned by Visit Wabash County in partnership with the Indiana Destination Development Organization and conducted by Rockport Analytics, an independent market research and consulting company that specializes in economic impact and feasibility studies for the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry. The study used estimates based on statistical sampling and economic modeling derived from multiple sources including Longwoods International, Reach Market Planning, and the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Travel & Tourism Office. It was then reconciled with the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported employment data, Indiana Department of Revenue reported tax receipts and secondary sources such as Smith Travel Research. “We understand that the 2019 data is worth celebrating and expect that the 2020 economic data, which we will receive at the end of this year, will reflect the significant impact of the pandemic,” said Flohr. “Business closures, restrictions in travel, and the reduction of gathering sizes has devastated the tourism industry, which in turn hits this economic state of the county tremendously.” In addition to the release of the results of the Economic Impact Study of 2019, Visit Wabash County also released their 2020 Annual Tourism Report. The 2020 report reflects the following marketing, experience tours, and visitor services highlights: Advertising campaign impressions
totaled 1.25 million in 2020, which was comprised of cable tv commercials, digital, radio, print, and billboard campaigns. Launched the Better Together Tshirt campaign in partnership with the Community Foundation of Wabash County to assist families in need affected by the pandemic. Hard copy distribution of the Wabash County Guide totaled 7,000 with digital views exceeding 100,000 impressions. Mentored nearly 60 small businesses throughout Wabash
Various events downtown have helped bring tourism dollars into Wabash County. County. Offered three free marketing ‘Zoominars’. Produced 37 promotional videos to include the Let’s Talk video series totaling
41.4k impressions. 39 Wabash County businesses have merchandise featured inside of the Welcome Center. Sold out five Trolley Experience
Tours. Hosted the Dam to Dam Bike Ride as a freestyle, virtual event. Hosted the Dam(n)!Man! Xtreme Triathlon for a very
limited number of participants. Hosted the local Liking for Biking riding series. “The team and board of directors with Visit Wabash County create and execute an aggressive marketing action plan each year,” said Flohr. “This plan is presented to the Wabash County Commissioners and the Mayor of Wabash. We are accountable to both government bodies and are pleased to once again show such a high return of investment from their support.”

A bunch of
BOLOGNA! By Laura Kurella
When we were kids, I doubt many of us were giving much thought to the bologna sandwiches we were munching on, but somewhere buried deep in our little minds was a tiny bologna sandwich recorder, busily noting every last detail of its individual flavors that combined to create what we would know as the classic, fried bologna sandwich. What’s more, that this unbeknownst recorder would one day lead to arguments over what constitutes a fried bologna sandwich. I didn’t know the bologna sandwich recorder existed until a recent “grown up” conversation with a girlfriend. We were discussing what to have for dinner on a hot and miserable summer day. She said, “I hate cooking when it’s this hot out!” I replied. “Me too, which is why I am glad the kids just want fried bologna sandwiches for dinner.” “Mmmm!” she said. “Sounds great, but I’m out of Miracle Whip.” “Oh” I said. “We don’t use Miracle Whip they like mustard instead.” “Mustard! Yuk!” she shrieked into the phone. “You never put mustard on a fried bologna sandwich, sautéed onions, yes. But mustard, never!” My friend went on to describe, in absolute detail how to make a classic bologna sandwich, at least in her mind, that is. When she finally
finished I laughed at her and said, “Wow! I had no idea the guidelines for what constitutes a bologna sandwich were so strict – all the way down to what brand and thickness of bologna to use. I don’t mean to sound uncaring, but are we all so stuck on what constitutes a fried bologna sandwich that we are not flexible enough to even try another person’s version?” I don’t think my remark was well received because my friend followed it with a very long, dead silence. Amazingly, this is not a rare instance. Apparently most of us have those little fried bologna sandwich recorders in our minds and likewise, most of us prefer to cling to its original flavor, taste and crunch – or the lack thereof much in the same way we cling to fond childhood memories. For that, I apologize for my earlier remark to my friend. It deserved the silent treatment, indeed! The fried bologna sandwich argument is bigger than me and my friend. In fact, there are websites devoted to the sandwich and the subject of arguments about it. Notably, there is friedbologna.org, which dedicates itself to the pure art of the fried bologna sandwich and other fried bologna delicacies. So whether you are used to deli style, packaged, thin sliced, thick sliced or the stuff under $1.00, bologna has left an imprint on our minds forever. What kind of fried bologna
sandwich makes you smile? Make yourself one so you’ll have a reason to smile today! Here are some special bologna concoctions for those willing to venture beyond their own bologna box. Enjoy! Grilled Bologna Sandwich (Kentucky Round Steak) 4 1/2” thick sliced garlic bologna 4 wheat sesame seed buns 1 Vidalia onion 1/2 cup of spicy brown mustard 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1/2 tablespoon season salt Preheat grill to 350°. Cut onion in 1/2” slices. Place onions of aluminum foil and sprinkle with olive oil and season salt. Close foil making a pack and place on grill. After 5-10 minutes place bologna slices on grill. Grill until nice grill marks on each side (approx. 3-4 minutes a side). Remove bologna slices and place top and bottom of the bun on the grill. Let the buns toast for about 30 seconds to a minute. Remove buns and onion pack and let everything stand for five minutes. Spread spicy mustard on top and bottom of bun. Place bologna slice on bun and add the grilled onions. Pour your favorite beverage and enjoy. Hoopty-Do Bologna sandwich 3 tablespoon mayonnaise or salad dressing 1/2 cup chili sauce 1 pound bologna, ground 1/2 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed 1/3 cup onions, chopped
What makes your fried bologna smile – toasted or un-toasted bread? Thick or thin sliced meat fried crisp or left wiggly? Mayo or Miracle Whip? Or do you prefer yellow or sweet mustard with or without the lettuce? Any way you slice it, it all adds up to the ideal fried bologna sandwich! Photos by Laura Kurella
1/2 cup stuffed olives, chopped 8-10 potato rolls Preheat oven 400degrees. In a small mixing bowl, blend the mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip) and chili sauce. Add the bologna, Velveeta, onions, and olives. Cut rolls in half and spread bologna mixture on each roll. Wrap each roll in
aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. You can make the rolls early and bake before serving or take along in a thermal container. Bodacious Bologna Sandwich Bologna, 1/2-inchthick slice Sliced tomato Cheese Mayo and mustard Bread
Chopped cabbage (slaw) or lettuce Green chile (pepper) Fry the bologna in pan over medium high heat. Toast bread in the oven, making sure to melt cheddar cheese on one side. Put your mayo and mustard (either or, if you like), on the side with no cheese, then
add the tomato and lettuce. Top with slaw or cabbageyour choice - and green chile if you like. Put the cheese side on top, and you’ve got a bodacious bologna sandwich!

LeMaster With the competition being virtual, contestants were required to take and submit many photos of the nails – each individual nail as well as the nail art – so that judges could study the photos and see the work from all angles. LeMaster waited what seemed to her like “an eternity” for the competition results. “It took nearly three weeks to get results back,” she said. “The championship award ceremony was a live stream. Waiting through the other competitions winners felt like torture. When “Cosmetology: Nail Care” popped up on the screen, Team B for Heartland had third, a team from another school got second and Team A from Heartland got first. Immediately I called my teacher, Mrs. Atkinson, to double check that I was Team A and she confirmed that I was. I felt hysterical. I didn’t know how to feel, it was so overwhelming to know that I got first in
the whole state of Indiana. I’m incredibly excited to compete at nationals and I’m so thankful for the opportunity as well. Both Mrs. Atkinson and Mrs. Camden have been wonderful teachers and encouraged me through the whole thing. I can’t even express the extent of my appreciation for both of them.” LeMaster will compete in the national competition in June. Nationals consist of the same nail performances as the State competition as well as a sales demo and a test over the pedicure process and procedure. “Vivian is a very talented, intelligent and motivated learner,” said Michelle A t k i n s o n , Cosmetology instructor at Heartland Career Center and one of LeMaster’s teachers. “She was such a joy to have in the classroom.

Most student procrastinate at this time of year, but Vivian made it a priority to do everything in a timely manner. “Because the contest was held virtual this year which was new to me. We depended on Vivian to follow the directions and the dates to be submitted on time. I was not allowed to do it for her. We have really enjoyed working with Vivian not only for the SkillsUSA competition but in the Student Salon at Heartland. Our customers loved her. She is customer service oriented which is must in this industry. We always say, ‘The Customer Comes First’ and Vivian abides by that rule. “We are super excited for Vivian that she won 1st place at the State contest and have high expectations at the National level. I know she will practice and take advisement to do her best. Vivian sets high standards and goals for herself. No matter the outcome we will always be very proud
of her.” After graduation, LeMaster plans to continue working at the salon portion of Wooden Ivy Boutique located in Downtown Wabash, and take business classes to prepare to eventually open her own salon.

A prolific writer, she published four books of poems and stories. “Leaving such a generous estate gift to his alma mater was a wonderful way for Gerda to honor Keith’s memory,” said Melanie Harmon, vice president for advancement at Manchester. “That legacy is now part of Manchester’s endowment and it will help educate students for
generations to come.” Gifts to an endowment fund are permanently invested to supply a steady, annual source of funds for an enduring impact. Many donors choose to create a fund in honor of a loved one — to commemorate a family legacy or an individual. An endowment can be restricted for particular purposes or unrestricted, at the request of the donor.
