Wabash Disc Golf Course ranked among top 15 in Indiana

Disc Golf truly is a growing sport. The International Olympic Committee recognizes it. While it could be sanctioned for 2024, it’s likely further in the future; however, Special Olympics has found that it’s a great sport for all ability levels. Penix said, “Our club would love to work with local organizations to include all kids playing on our course.” Disc golf at the Cannonball Course is a free, outdoor activity for the whole family. Local business owner Paul Mirante, added, “Playing disc golf is the best thing to happen to me physically.” The Wabash course is at the bottom of the City Park on the west side of the baseball diamond. For discs, call Penix at 260-571-8055. He will meet you with discs and will probably offer some tips to make your experience great. Mirante also provides discs and can be reached at Wabash Engraving, 260-563-5847. Both want people to enjoy the game.

Reece Samons, Wabash, competed and placed second in the Ledgestone Insurance Disc Golf Open in Eureka, Ill., Aug. 13-16. He placed in the MA1 tier, meaning he was the second-placing amateur in the class below the professional tier. Samons lead the first 51 holes in the three-day amateur event, but one toss hit a tree and with a missed throw put him in second place out of 180 competitors, which is the best any Cannonball Disc Golf Club (CDGC) member has placed. The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) sanctions the tournament. This year the tournament had a cash payout for professionals over $100,000 and donated $50,000 to St. Jude’s Children’s hospital. Samons’ home course is located at Wabash City Park and is considered by many to be one of the hidden gems in the community. It has been ranked one of the top 15 courses of more than 200 in Indiana. Samons’ goal is to work toward competing at the professional level, but he initially played for fun. “When I was younger, me and my cousin would play five or six rounds and hustle others for discs,” he said. “We were good.” Now, the game has a different meaning for him. “I play and practice to get away from my personal life and not worry about things,” he continued. “My goal is to travel to all the big tournaments and to get sponsors. Unfortunately, the sport isn’t big enough yet to make a living.” Samons is pleased with his forehand and long-distance shots but knows he needs to put in at least 2030 putts a day. CDGC president Mike Penix said the local course is a great for prepping for the pros, but it’s also perfect for beginners and casual players. Club members work with the Wabash Parks Department to groom the course and make it player friendly. Despite Covid-19 restrictions, CDGC was able to host a tournament here in June. It sold out in 48 hours. Competitors came from surrounding states as well as California and Florida with Reece Samons and less than 10 percent coming from Wabash. Mike Penix demonstrate New players and family members should not disc golf at Wabash let the championship quality of the local City Park. Photos by course keep them from playing. Penix said, Lori Overmyer. “The course is beginner friendly. The pins are moved to make it a championship course.” Membership in CDGC isn’t required, but benefits include being ranked within the club, a tshirt, and getting to know great people. Tayte Azbell, Wabash, and club member, said, “Mike Penix will always be helpful, and the other members are nice and share tips.” Tayte added, “Playing with my dad is always fun.” Club members enjoy organized activities such as coordinating events, competing with each other, and playing at area tournaments. All activities are posted on their Facebook page, and area clubs post opportunities there as well. Last year CDGC brought in professional disc golfer JohnE McCray for a clinic. Thirty-two attended. Club members help care for the course. Penix said, “Adam (Hall, park superintendent) works hard to keep the course in shape, but there are some areas his equipment just won’t reach, so we walk it a couple of times a week to pick up any trash or debris. We have club workdays to take care of trimming and manicuring.” He added, “It took $12,000 to put in our course and 1,000 manhours.

Grow Wabash County, working with Wabash County Commissioners, has a new grant opportunity available for small, for-profit businesses in Wabash County. Grow Wabash County will grant out nearly $200,000 in business grants made possible by $160,000 of grant funding awarded from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) COVID-19 Phase II Response Program, coupled with $40,000 committed to the grant program by the Wabash County Commissioners. The primary goal for these grants will be to help high risk businesses with longterm recovery efforts after COVID-19 and the resulting restrictions that led to shutdowns and layoffs in many of our workplaces. These funds will focus on helping businesses retain low- to middle-income (LMI) jobs. Grants will be awarded out in the amounts of $2,000 to $10,000 per qualifying business, based on employee counts and community impact. Grant funding can be used for working capital, continued operations, and/or to support remote work. These grants are available to for-profit, small businesses (100 employees or less) and microenterprises (5 employers or less, one must be the

owner) within Wabash County. Applicants must not have been previously granted funds from OCRA Phase I grants from the City of Wabash or Town of North Manchester. Collectively, the batch of business applicants must have 51 percent or more low to moderate income (LMI) employees in order for the grant funding to be awarded. Therefore, businesses may be eliminated if the majority LMI requirement is not met. Applications will be available online (or via a paper version upon request) starting on Sept. 14 via the Grow Wabash County website. Businesses must have their applications completed and submitted by Oct. 2. Along with the grant application outlining their need for support, business owners will also need to submit a survey for each employee to provide employee initials, position title, and annual salary. Eligible businesses in Wabash County can apply online at www.growwabashcounty.com/phase2 then complete the employee surveys online at www.growwabashcounty.com/LMIsurv ey.

Indiana American Water will conduct water main flushing in the Wabash service area Sept. 1 – October 31, 2020 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Sunday. The company conducts the annual maintenance program to assure highquality water service and to ensure fire hydrants are operational. According to Wabash District Superintendent Brandon France,

www.thepaperofwabash.com

“Water main and fire hydrant flushing is an important part of a regular maintenance program for water distribution systems. Indiana American Water consistently meets or exceeds all drinking water standards.” No interruptions in water service are anticipated as a result of the work. Customers may experience a slight drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration while this

program is underway. Customers should refrain from doing laundry during the time of day the flushing program is taking place in or near their neighborhood. If tap water is discolored, Indiana American Water recommends allowing several cold-water faucets to run for a short time until the water runs clear. Using more than one faucet allows the water to clear more quickly.

Family Video to close Wabash location By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com

After serving the Wabash Community

for over 20 years, which opened in 1999, Family Video, located in Downtown Wabash is closing its doors. The Paper of Wabash County spoke with district manager, Suzi Peterson about the closing. “The store had been struggling before COVID and unfortunately never recovered after the shutdown,” said Peterson. Peterson said that

she has loved her customers and being able to serve the community, but she hopes that some of the store’s loyal customers will transfer their loyalty to the Marion location of the store. Due to the closing the store is having a sale on movies and video games, with starting prices of $9.99. Fixtures are also available and can be bought in store.

County Council to governor: End Stage 4.5 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Council approved a resolution opposing further continuation of Stage 4.5 of Gov. Eric Holcomb’s Back on Track Indiana program. The measure, passed Tuesday, Aug. 25, notes that “the Wabash County economy is highly dependent upon retail, restaurant, tourism and industry, and such economic restrictions have had a significant negative impact on the citizens and businesses within Wabash

County.” It noted that on Aug. 13, Wabash County “only had 190 positive cases of COVID-19 and five deaths related to COVID-19 since March 27, 2020, and our hospitals and clinics are not overburdened by the number of COVID-19 cases.” As of Aug. 31, there were 209 positive cases and six deaths in Wabash County, according to the Indiana State Department of Health. The Council, according to the resolution, “supports moving to Stage 5 of the Back on Track

Indiana plan and fully reopening the economy as being in the best interests of the citizens of Wabash County.” The Paper of Wabash County reached out to the Wabash County Council members, seeking responses to, among other things, the reason the believed the measure was needed, and it they had contacted any local health professionals before considering the matter. Council President Kyle Bowman was the lone member to reply. “The Wabash County Council believes the resolu-

tion adequately expresses our view that Wabash County is ready to move into Stage 5,” he wrote. “Our desire is for Governor Holcomb to assess counties individually; many communities across the state are positioned to be fully back on track.” While they didn’t respond to The Paper questions, at least two Council members posted comments on their Facebook pages regarding the measure. “The statement made tonight was bold, and I’m glad to have been part of it,” Council member Matt Dillon wrote. “To the

No one speaks at hearing By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com No one spoke for or against the City of Wabash’s proposed 2021 budget during a public hearing on Monday, Aug. 24. Following the hearing, the council unanimously passed the $18 million budget on first reading. A second reading will take place at the council’s next meeting, Sept. 14. Before the budget was approved, council member Doug Adams how it would be decided what to do in case the proposed $7.359 million from the state would fall short. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount of funds available through

various taxes is uncertain. “That’s what we’re asking for, but we won’t get all of that,” Clerk-Treasurer Wendy Frazier said, noting that the amount requested is generally higher than actually needed. “We advertise high so we get actually what we should get.” If it comes up short, Adams asked, “how do we eliminate the money to cover that?” Mayor Scott Long said the city would start “by curtailing spending.” Frazier added that “I would say, too, it

depends on where the shortfall is. Is it general, park, motor vehicle? Obviously, if it’s motor vehicle, (the cuts) are going to be there.” City Attorney Doug Lehman said when the city gets tax funds, officials are told which taxing unit the money is coming from. “They just don’t give us one lump sum,” he said. In another matter, council member Mitch Figert, the council’s liaison with Wabash City Schools, announced that he, City Schools Superintendent Jason

Callahan and Mayoral Assistant Bev Vanderpool are revising the applications for Wabash City Schools board candidates. The council appoints members to the City Schools board. Two seats, now filled by Tony Pulley and Rod Kelsheimer, will be up for appointment this year. Interviews with the applicants are done during a public meeting. Following selection, it is then ratified during a vote at a regular council meeting.

ones affected by the lockdown order, this resolution isn’t permission to disregard the State of Indiana. The Council doesn’t have that power. But you do. Don’t allow yourself to be hamstrung by government for your own good.”

Council member Barbara Pearson wrote, “At our Wabash County Council meeting tonight, we made the this declaration to Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb. It passed unanimously. I am honored to stand with my fellow coun-

cil members.” On Wednesday, Aug. 26, less than 24 hours after the Council passed its resolution, Holcomb extended Indiana’s 4.5 stage on the Back to Track Indiana Plan.

This group, originally made up the flute section of the Mississinewa Valley Band (MVB), generally plays in the foyer before band concerts. The ensemble was the brainchild of leader Becky Boyce of Marion. Currently members include Boyce, Marily Moore, also of Marion as well as Noritta Carter and Kim Bantz of Hartford City.

The Windsong Flute Ensemble performed in downtown LaFontaine. Photo provided Eichhorn of Muncie. Patricia Walters from LaFontaine plays and is often the emcee for performances. All players continue to play the C flute, but some of also play piccolo, alto, and bass flute giving the group a greater selection of musical possibilities. Windsong members continue to play with

the band, but have branched out as a separate group to play at churches, parks, luncheons and other functions. This summer they were part of the 24/13 Drive-in series with the Swing Band of the MVB. During the COVID-19 pandemic rehearsals and performances with the larger group have

been problematic so when the opportunity for the flutes to entertain in a smaller venue they jumped at the chance. The main block downtown was closed to traffic and it brought back memories of the free street movies that were shown on Saturday nights downtown in the 1950’s. Folks brought their lawn

chairs and some sat in their cars along Branson Street refusing to melt in the heat. They enjoyed the music coming from the front lawn of the historic Parker House. Over 40 people were on hand to eat the famous Kettle Corn popped by the LaFontaine Lion’s Club. Variety was the theme of the program starting with songs “Let it Go” and “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” for the youngsters in the crowd. Later selections ranged from “Chattanooga Choochoo”, “The Whistler and Her Dog” to “Amazing Grace” and “America the Beautiful”. The threatened rain did not materialize and it was a great opportunity to get out of the house, see some neighbors, socialize, and enjoy a live musical performance on a summer evening.

Wabash County Museum opens The Den The Wabash County Museum celebrated the opening of The Den presented by Beacon Credit Union with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Sept. 1. Leaders from Beacon Credit Union and the Wabash County Museum cut the ribbon on the refreshed educational space. Over the past several months the museum has expanded and refreshed the educational space, designed for guests ages 8 years old and younger, located on their second floor. Thanks to a partnership with Beacon Credit Union, The Den is now ready to be reopened to the public. “When the Museum closed in early 2020 amid the current pandemic, our team used the opportunity to make much needed

changes and expansions to the education center,” said Mitch Figert, President and CEO of the Museum. “Working with our presenting sponsor, Beacon Credit Union, we have been able to expand the footprint of the exhibit and add several new features.” As mentioned by Figert, the exhibit space has been expanded to include a new dedicated area for guests 3 and under. The space features play equipment designed specifically for their younger needs. In addition, The Den features new branding focused on the museum’s mascot, Theodore, a large black bear. Guests will notice several other improvements including a look-and-find activity, new interactive and educational components in the

round barn and farm house, a redesigned planting garden, a new art gallery, and much more. The Museum shares that they still have future improvements planned for the space. “We are continually listening to our guests and members to improve our exhibit areas,” said Figert. “The current upgrades have all come from feedback we have received for those who use The Den and we will continue to upgrade and improve the exhibit space.” Of course, beyond the physical improvements museum officials also had to create new procedures to address the current public health issues. Working with partner institutions, the museum will be implementing the following processes to protect guests: Face masks are required by all guests ages two and older

within the museum. Guests will be asked to sanitize their hands upon entering the museum. The museum will take the temperature of all guests when checking in. The Den will be closed for the last 15 minutes of each hour to be cleaned with a new disinfectant fogging machine. To comply with current state mandates, The Den will currently be limited to 50 percent capacity. Hand sanitizing stations and disinfectant wipe stations are located throughout the museum. Guests are encouraged to frequently wash hands. Visiting The Den is included with daily admission to the museum during the museum’s normal hours of Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

New exhibit opens at Center for History The North Manchester Center for History is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment with a retrospective of over 20 women past and present from our community. Stories of women that took the path less traveled include everyday women from all walks of life. In many cases their experiences were made possible by changes that were an outgrowth of this

amendment. The exhibit showcases the door of opportunity that was created for women. August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was officially adopted, more than 40 years after the question of women’s suffrage was first introduced to Congress. At the time it required 36 states to affirm the motion, Indiana was the 26th state to ratify the amendment on January 26, 1920. Wyoming was the

first state to grant full voting rights in 1869 and the last state was Mississippi on March 22, 1984. The amendment opened doors for women in several ways including support for health care for mothers, labor reform for women, education reform and allowing participation in judicial processes in many states. Amongst the featured women Mary Travelbee ran away to join the circus at

age 16 and Sarah Kelton Browne, thought to be the only female attorney in Wabash County for over 30 years, passed the bar without attending law school at age 38. Contemporary women included in the exhibit are; Alison Metheny, Dr. Peggy Lewis, Carrie Mugford, Nancy Alspaugh, Christa Kolster-Frye, Doris Ebbinghouse, Dr. Pam Higgins, Susan Ring, and Jena Oke. The Center for History is open Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visit us at 122 E Main Street, North Manchester.

The Paper of Wabash County

September 2, 2020

Longtime businessman is native of Urbana Jim Krom was born to Hubert and Rhea Krom in 1938 here in Urbana and has lived his entire life here. He attended Urbana high school and graduated in 1957. While in school he worked on his father’s farm and participated in school activities like running track. He said he wasn’t much good at it but it showed him how to respect others. Jim farmed until his junior and senior years. He and three other classmates went to work for the Wabash County Highway Department. The four of them painted the guard rails and at this time the guard rails were just small poles with a heavy cable running through them. Wabash County had a total of 31 guard rails

like this back then. Jim said that it took forever to paint and when we felt we were done, the highway dept. would take us to some more guard rails. Jim met his wife Carol at a Chester School Polo match in 1952. Carol drove a school bus for MSD of Wabash County for 40 years. Jim and Carol hit it off right away and have been together for 61 years. Jim and Carol were married in late 1957 and

went to Canada for their honeymoon. They have also traveled Florida and Texas. They had just gone back to Canada for their 60th year together. Together they had four children, all boys, Chris, Tony, Terry and Todd. They have eight grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, two step-great-grandchildren. No greatgreat-grandchildren as of yet, but they do have a 3-month-old great-granddaughter and another greatgranddaughter on the way and due in October. Jim’s hobbies are collecting old tractors and trucks. I’m not talking toys on a shelf, I’m talking big boys toys you can drive and work on. Jim worked on construction for four years with Leon

Feathengill who owned the construction outfit. They worked on the Honeywell House in Wabash some years ago. Jim has served on the Urbana Fire Department for f40 years and held the position of fire chief for 10 years and assistant chief for four years. Shortly after Jim stopped working for the Wabash County Highway, he purchased Urbana’s wrecker service from Tom Helvey in 1962. The wrecker service is still going strong today, H&K Wrecker Service. For 55 years it has been stationed here in Urbana and taken 35,000 plus calls at all hours of the day or night and in all kinds of weather. The business has been a major sponsor for the Urbana Halloween Car and Truck show for 20 years ago. Jim stated that life has been good to him and Carol and that they want to thank the Urbana Community, Urbana Lions and individuals for all their support over the

Grilling Glory! By Laura Kurella

What a year this has been thus far! If I didn’t know better, I would think that Gordon Ramsey was put in charge of running of America because it sure feels like we are all living in Hells Kitchen these days! Marking the end of another summer, Labor Day ushers in that long chore list that has us focusing on battening down our hatches before the weather makes it too miserable to want to walk outside, let alone do any chores. This pivotal time of year also ushers in changes of schedules as well as changes in taste, causing many of us to become torn between cravings for great fall dishes that we haven’t had all year, and the yearning to squeeze in one last sizzling meal while it’s still warm outside before summer is officially gone. The history of grilling begins shortly after the domestication of fire, some 500,000 years ago. The backyard ritual of grilling as we know it, though, is much more recent because until well into the 1940s, grilling mostly occurred only at campsites or picnics. However, after World War II, as the middle class began to move to the suburbs, backyard grilling caught on, which caused it to become all the rage by the 1950s! In suburban Chicago, George Stephen, a metalworker by trade and a tinkerer by habit, had grown frustrated with the flat, open-style grills of the time, so once he inherited a controlling interest in the Weber Brothers Metal Spinning Company, which was best-known for making harbor buoys, Stephen decided to convert a buoy into a covered grill by cutting it along its equa-

tor, adding a grate, and cutting vents in the top of it to control the temperature. This initial prototype ushered in the eventual Weber grill that we all know and love to this day! Since 2020 has been one grueling year, I highly suggest finding some time to get out and enjoy what is left of this year’s summer, whether or not you like to grill. However, if you do like to grill then I suggest planning a feast that features all your favorite grilled foods so that you can have a day that does lift you and your family’s spirits. After all, this year ain’t over yet! In an effort to bring you a flavorful grilling escape, today I have compiled some flavors from around the world to help you wrap up the summer season with a sizzle. Enjoy, Happy Labor Day, and PEACE! Hawaiian Chicken Wraps Prep Time:5 mins; Cook Time:10 mins; Total Time:15 mins; Yield: 4 wraps. 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts Natural fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1/2 cup barbecue sauce 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 2/3 cup pineapple, chopped 1/4 red onion, chopped (optional) 1 romaine heart, chopped 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional) 4 tortillas / flatbreads / pitas / wraps Heat grill to 400 degrees. In a dish, rub chicken with oil, salt and pepper and set aside. Once heated, place chicken on grill and close lid. Cook for 6-8 minutes then flip breasts and cook an additional 5 minutes

or until meat is cooked through. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes then slice into pieces and toss into bowl. Add barbecue sauce and toss chicken to coat. Place tortilla on a plate. Layer with a spoonful of barbecue chicken, cheese, pineapple, onion, chopped romaine and cilantro. Roll, burrito style and secure with a toothpick. Serve immediately. Greek Steak Wraps Prep Time: 20 mins; Cook Time: 20 minutes: Total Time: 45 minutes; Yield: 6 wraps Tzatziki Sauce: 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 1/2 lemon, juice only 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 cup diced cucumber Pinch of fresh mint or dill (optional) natural fine sea salt and pepper, to taste Meat: 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon natural fine sea salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon dried parsley 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 large red pepper, quartered 1 large green pepper, quartered 1 zucchini, quartered olive oil feta cheese, crumbled fresh oregano, garnish 6 tortillas / flatbreads / pitas / wraps To make the sauce: Peel, seed, and dice cucumber small. Then stir all ingredients together in a bowl. Taste the sauce and season it to your liking with salt, pepper, and possibly more lemon. Store in fridge until needed.

Grilling up something delicious is a good way to honor the end of summer. Food styled and photographed by Laura Kurella. For steak: marinate with olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. For peppers and zucchini, quarter and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill steak for 5-6 minutes per side until it has a nice char on it. Add peppers and zucchini to the grill as well and grill for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove steak from the grill and rest for 5 minutes before slicing thin. Make a wrap by smearing the bread with sauce then top with steak, vegetables, crumbled feta,

and fresh oregano. Wrap up and serve immediately. Mediterranean Grilled Shrimp Wraps Prep Time: 10 mins; Cook Time: 5 mins; Total Time: 15 mins; Yield: 4 servings 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined 1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon za’atar 1/2 teaspoon natural fine sea salt 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper 4 tortillas / flatbread / pita / wraps 1/4 cup hummus 1/2 cup diced seedless cucumber

1/2 cup diced plum tomatoes 1 ounce feta cheese crumbled Toss shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, za’atar, salt and pepper until well coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 8 hours. Measure hummus and crumbled feta cheese and place in small bowls on counter. Dice cucumber and tomato, measure 1/2 cup of each and set next to hummus and cheese. Preheat grill to medium heat. Once hot, place shrimp on grill grates and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and set aside to cool. Shut

off grill but close lid to retain the heat. Split shrimp in half from head to tail through the vein so that you have two flat shrimp pieces per shrimp. Warm tortillas / flatbread /wraps on the hot grill for 10 to 15 seconds per side. Remove and begin building your sandwiches. Spread 1 tablespoon hummus on each wrap. Follow with 2tablespoons each of diced tomato and cucumber and 1/4 ounce of crumbled Feta cheese. Finally, divide the split shrimp up among the 4 wraps. Roll tightly, cut each in half, serve immediately
