Wabash County youngsters get chance to see future

By Mandy Underwood and Eric Christiansen news@thepaperofwabash.com NORTH MANCHESTER — With music blaring through speakers, elementary kids from all Wabash County public schools ran around the courtyard shouting out “Go Spartans!” at the Walk into My Future day at Manchester University.

Multiple majors, sports, and clubs from the university showcased what Manchester University has to offer and what a college experience can be like.

Metropolitan School District Superintendent Mike Keaffaber walked around observing with a smile on his face.

“This day has been fantastic so far. The kids are having a great time, the weather is great which always helps out,” Keaffaber told The Paper of Wabash County.

“It’s neat to see the Manchester University students volunteer their time to help

with all of this.”

Southwood Elementary kindergarten teacher Patty Steele also spoke to The Paper while her class was taking a break.

“This is just to give the kids an idea of what life at a college would be like, and some of the different activities and majors they could experience,” she said.

“This really helps to get kids excited about their future and what they could look forward to if they choose to go to college.

This year has been a lot more active for the kids, and when you’re five, that’s what sticks out as fun, so I think that the kids are enjoying the day.”

Senior educational studies major Jordan Napier told The Paper that he has been volunteering for Walk into My Future since his freshman year and said that the day is not only beneficial for the kids, but also himself.

“This is a great way for kids to widen their thoughts about what they can do with their

future,” said Napier.

“I love every aspect of this. The kid’s energy makes me happy and I love acting like a kid myself and I just like to see smiles on faces and that’s what I see when I walk around and see these kids out having fun instead of being in class.”

Courtney Hesling, also a senior educational studies major, is getting experience by volunteering that will help with her career goals.

“I want to run a camp, so this is a lot of working with the kids in their active stages and I love being able to tell them where to go next and just getting to be their role model for a little bit, so it’s fun,” she said.

Manchester University President Dave McFadden spoke to all of the students after a lunch break and gave them some challenges.

“I have three things for you today – a test, homework, and to take a class picture,” McFadden said.

After the test, which was a (continued on page 6)

The world premiere of “Whelm,” a movie written and directed by a Southwood High School graduate and filmed in and around Wabash County, will take place during the Heartland Film Festival in October.

The film will premiere at 7:45 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, at the Toby Theatre at Newfields in the Indianapolis Museum of Art, according to writer and director Skyler Lawson. A second screening is planned for 7:10 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17.

“The entire cast and crew will be there,” he said.

In addition, a panel discussion entitled “The Making of the Indiana Epic on Film” will take place at 1 p.m. Oct. 13.

Panelists will include Lawson, cinematographer Ed Herrera, co-composer Chris Dudley and Delil Baran, one of the lead actors in the film.

“Whelm” is set in the Great Depression where two brothers get tangled in a rivalry between a legendary bank robber and an eccentric young criminal.

“Wabash looks absolutely stunning in the movie,” Lawson told The Paper of Wabash County. “It was such a pleasure capturing my hometown in such an epic scope. It deserves it.

“We shot with some of the best equipment in the world.

When people from Wabash see the movie, they will see their town differently than they have ever seen it. It was a dream to shoot in Wabash and it looks like a dream in the movie.”

Lawson is still working on the movie’s final print.

“I am currently finishing the final color grade of the move to be sure to be ready for the world premiere,” he said. “And Skywalker Sound – yes, that Skywalker Sound – has come on board to do the final sound mix.

They reached out to me after seeing the trailer online.

“When Skywalker Sound reached out to me after seeing the teaser trailer online, I was stunned to be honest. Their name is on the best movies ever made.”

Lawson said he was proud that they became involved with the movie.

“It meant that we made something ourselves that caught the eye of the best in the world,” he said. “When I showed them the movie, they were all in. I wanted them to know that it wasn’t just a slick trailer, but we really were striving for something impactful. It is a journey that you don’t see coming once the movie starts.”

As director, Lawson said it was fun for him to keep the audience guessing “and to take them on a ride they won’t forget.”

“There is a certain kind of move that isn’t being made much anymore,” Lawson said.

“We want to bring it back. The American epic is a vital part of our culture and it was a true honor to make one in my hometown.”

In addition to the Heartland Film Festival, Lawson plans to submit the movie to Sundance, (continued on page 6)

Elks to host benefit for 5-year-old boy

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Elks Lodge No.471 will host a benefit trivia night on Friday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. in honor of 5-year-old Elliot Culwell who was recently diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).

Proceeds will go to his family to help with the costs of his

weekly visits to Riley Children’s Hospital and treatment. The cost to participate in the trivia night is $10 per person and teams can consist of up to 10 people. There will be 10 rounds of trivia plus fun games and a silent auction.

The Elks will also have a pulled pork dinner available for purchase, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

On July 5, Elliot went to see his pediatrician for some weakness and leg and back pain that

he was experiencing.

A check up for some pain quickly turned into a more serious diagnosis when his doctor recognized his symptoms and ordered immediate blood work.

Elliott and his parents were sent directly to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne to see an oncologist who in turn sent them to Riley Hospital for Children to get his diagnosis (continued on page 6)

Wabash library hosts ‘Bad Art Night’

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash Public Library had a “Bad Art Night” recently for teenagers in the community.

The kids showed up and were invited to choose their art supplies from a table overflowing with paints, glitter, markers, and brushes.

They were each given some small canvases and an hour to work on creating the ugliest art they could.

Once the participants were done creating, library employees and visitors were invited to come in and vote on the art that they believed was the worst.

There were three competitors, Emma Beall, Isaiah Beall, and Isabelle Frank.

Emma and Isaiah

said that they come often to the programs at the library.

“I like to hang out with Laura,” said Emma.

Isabelle told The Paper that she sometimes tags along when she has a free night.

The trophy, a badly decorated plate, was awarded to Isabelle Frank for her creation using mostly green and brown splotches to give a feeling of the less pretty side of nature.

Wabash Public Library has a lot of activities available for teens.

Laura Beutler is the Youth Services Assistant for the library. Part of her position is to do all the teen programming.

Beutler told The Paper that she thinks that there is something for everyone at the library, especially

teenagers.

“We do a monthly book club at Modoc’s.

We give away copies of the books for free and we meet the last Thursday of each month, usually,” she said.

“We talk about that book and sometimes we talk about any other books that we have liked.”

Beutler also organizes craft nights once a month during the school year and once a week during the summer. She also does outreach activities at the high school in order to encourage students to visit the library and take advantage of the free activities that are offered.

“It’s hard to compete with everything that everyone has going on,” Beutler said.

“But we have really fun free craft activi-

ties. You can come and take advantage of that and come and learn new [crafting] techniques, like next month we will be learning how to use a sewing machine, and the kids will make scrunchies. It’s like art classes, but for free.”

Beutler also hopes that all teens can come and find a place where they belong, and share interests with their peers.

“Even if you’re at your high school and you feel like you’re the only one that likes to read, you can come and meet people who are crazy about books, too.”

“Like me,” shouted Emma from where she was working on art.

“Yes, she is one of our frequent visitors,” said Beutler.

Toto to celebrate 40th anniversary with stop in Wabash

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

More than 40 years ago, a group of session musicians decided to form a band.

Toto hit the scene in the mid ‘70s to mixed reviews. The band, with various members in the lineup, stayed together until 2008. It reformed in 2010 and has been going strong ever since.

think we’d be sitting her 43 years later, despite every possible good and horrible think happening to us.

“On the other hand, we just kept going. I never really think about how much time has gone by unless it’s brought up to me.

Lately it’s been brought up a lot because of what it is.”

In the early days, the band wasn’t a fan of music critics

It will be bringing its current tour, “40 Trips Around the Sun,” to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater on Saturday, Oct. 12.

“Man, we didn’t see it coming,” vocalist and guitarist Steve “Luke” Lukather said of the band’s longevity. “When we started out, we thought if we got eight to 10 years, that would be insanely cool. Never in a million years did we

The rock band Toto will bring its “40 Trips Around the Sun” tour to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater on Saturday, Oct. 12. Photo provided around the country.

However, in recent years, Toto’s popularity has, as Luke notes, “blown up again in the last three to four years.”

One key to the renewed popularity, he believes, is due to one song, “Africa.”

“We’re taking the ride, man,” he said.

“It’s been one of the most successful years we’ve ever had, in terms of playing live.

Knock on wood. We’re very, very grateful and we’re laughing all the way and just going, ‘Wow.’” The band is ensconced in pop culture, thanks in part to the first episode this season of the Fox network’s hit comedy, “Family Guy.” “We are characters on ‘Family Guy,’”

Luke said, his voice filled with excitement. “It’s a great moment for me because it’s my favorite. Pop culture at its finest.”

It’s not the first program to include band members in an episode.

“We’ve been ‘South Park’ characters,” Luke continued. “All these silly things that have happened to us.

No body laughs harder than we do at ourselves, I promise you that.”

Lukather has a theory as to why critics were so harsh on the band in the early days.

“We came out at exactly the same time that punk rock did,” he said. “Talk about ying and yang, you know. Here we are,

guys in high school studying music to become session musicians. Our dream was to be top session guys and have a rock band of our own and play our own music.

“We got that dream.

Now, when we hit, we had no idea what we would be coming up against. When we were on the road with Boz Skaggs, we were teenagers. We were in London looking at these guys in leather jackets and purple Mohawks going, ‘What is that?’

“We just just kind of cracked up because we were listening to Yes, Genesis, prog rock, all the studio guys, all the R&B stuff, the fusion stuff.

We were inspired by the greatest musicians. We were also

inspired from Day 1

by The Beatles.

“When the punk thing hit, and they compared us to punk, that’s an unfair comparison. I also think that the stupid name didn’t help us. They picked us out of the genre to roast.”

At first, Luke said, band members were hurt by the criticism.

“What did we do to you?” he asked, rhetorically.

“We weren’t an image band. We had four lead singers on the first album. We had diverse music, which confused them. They just wrote us off as session musicians, like that’s a bad thing.

“All these guys picking on us, it was kind of ridiculous. After we got over the initial (continued on page 5

Toto ...continued from Page 4 Gubernatorial candidate visits Wabash shock we just laughed. All those guys are either dead or like 80 years old now. We outlived our haters. I mean, there are still people who hate our band. No band has universal love. We’ve taken every punch there is, and we’re still here.”

Now, the band is playing to three generations of fans.

“Some of these kids who just heard ‘Africa’ realize we’ve got 20 records out and they start buying them,” Luke said.

“Our whole catalog is flying out. Kids are coming to the gigs and are coming back.”

The band recently performed at the Life is Beautiful festival in Las Vegas, Nev., before 50,000 kids between 15 and 25 years of age.

“Not everything we did was incredible,” he admits. “We have a couple of funny tunes in there. When we remastered the box set I heard a couple of tunes in there I haven’t heard since we cut them. We laughed at some of the real naïve lyrics.

“So, we understand some of the criticism, but come on, man, we’re not the worst thing to ever happen to music.”

The band’s resurgence, Luke admits, is because of the song “Africa.” It gained new popularity when it was released by the band Weezer, and featured Weird Al Yankovic on the music video.

“We never saw that as a hit single to start with,” Lukather said.

“We buried it on the fourth record. We made this huge record, over produced it. We had so much fun doing it. We had so much fun in the studio; we were just kids in our early 20s being able to do whatever we wanted to do.

We had the money to do it. We had the time to do it.

“We made this whole huge record, and then Dave (Paich, keyboardist) came in with the lyrics and we started laughing. We were like, ‘Dave, really?’”

The song, among other things, mentions Mt. Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti.

“We were reading this thing, and we were going, ‘Dave, it’s really cool that you figured out how to use

STEVE “LUKE” LUKATHER these words, but what does it really mean to us?’” Luke said. “He sold it to us hard. It’s a very catchy tune.

The melody and the riffs in it, of course, are memorable, otherwise it wouldn’t come back. The lyrics are kind of winced at.

“But now, after all these years, people dig the tune because it doesn’t have any political message to it. It’s not a love song to bum somebody out. It’s just this weird little tune that just struck a nerve. It freaks me out just how much of a nerve it struck on a worldwide basis. If it gets people in to see the rest of our work, it’s a win-win situation.”

Tickets for the Oct. 12 Toto show are $39, $55 and $125. They are available at the Honeywell Center box office, by calling 260563-1102 or by visiting honyewellcenter.org.

“We’re just really looking forward to bringing the show to you guys,” Lukather said. “It’s pretty tight rocking, so please come out and see us.

For those who are on the fence, you might be surprised. For those already coming, thanks for showing up.”

Dr. Woody Myers has seen firsthand the inner workings of state government.

Myers, a candidate for the Democrat nomination for governor, hopes to use that knowledge to help the state make strides in the coming years.

“I have been involved in healthcare leadership, and other leadership activities, for 30 years, and I just know we can do things better in Indiana,” Myers told The Paper of Wabash County prior to a talk with the Wabash County Democratic Party on Thursday evening, Sept. 26. “I’m a third generation Hoosier.

I’ve been involved in politics; I ran for Congress about 10 years ago. I thought I had gotten it out of my system. I was wrong. I misdiagnosed myself.”

Myers formerly served as Indiana’s youngest State Health Commissioner, hav-

ing been appointed to the post by Republican Gov. Robert Orr and again

by Democrat Gov. Evan Bayh.

He believes that time would help him a great deal as governor.

“I was a young Democrat hired by Bob Orr, who at that time was the oldest governor in America and a Republican,” he said. “Talk about learning how to work in a bipartisan atmosphere.”

During his tenure, AIDS victim Ryan White make national headlines by being banned from attending classes in the Kokomo school district. He eventually attended classes in the Hamilton Heights school district.

“We helped to get that arranged,” Myers said. “He got a tremendous welcome.

I just know that law wouldn’t have gotten changed if we hadn’t worked productively with the Democrats who controlled the House and the Republicans who con-

trolled the Senate.

“Working in a bipartisan way is something I’ve done for decades, and I don’t see any reason not to keep doing that.

It’s far more partisan now than it’s ever been. We have to go back in time when we did get a lot more done.

“Any Indiana governor has to figure out how to work creatively with the Indiana Legislature because the Indiana Legislature has the veto with a simple majority, and that requires you to do some very creative dancing.”

He believes problems facing the state today are problems this and previous generations have created and thus, need to fix.

“Let my grandkids fix different problems,” he said.

Education is the top issue facing the state, Myers believes.

“Our Legislature, in my view, keeps doing things that just don’t make as much

sense in my view as they ought to,” he said. “I think we can do a better job in teacher pay. I think we could do a better job in a variety of education issues.”

A Shortridge High School graduate, Myers believes that the state can do better with public education.

“Ninety-three percent of Indiana children are in public education, but they’re not getting 93 percent of the attention, 93 percent of the love,” he said. “I just think we need to do better there.”

Jobs also is an important issue facing the state.

“Yes, it’s important for us to go after those new tech jobs that many states are trying to go after; I agree with that,” he said.

“But we’ve got to dou-

ble down on the jobs we’ve already got.

We’ve got manufacturing here. General Motors, although they’re on strike today – they’ll come to a settlement, I hope sometime soon – but they’ve still got6,800 employees in Indiana today.

“One of the first calls I’ll make is to the CEO there to see what it will take for us to get to 7,800. Any person in retail knows the best customer is the one you already have, not the one you’re trying to get.”

As of now, Myers faces Josh Owens, a businessman and former Luke Messer congressional aide, for the Democrat nomination. Running on the GOP ticket are incumbent Eric Holcomb and businessman Brian Roth.

“If you didn’t have your hand up and don’t know someone who went to college, well, it was a trick question. You all know someone who went to college – your teachers.”

McFadden then assigned the homework.

“I want you to talk to your teacher about where they went to college and you should think about going to college,” he told the students.

The final challenge was taking a “class picture.”

Walk Into My Future was created as a way to get students

and increase educational attainment, with the goal of encouraging all students to pursue education after high school.

TriBeca, South by Southwest, Slamdance, AFI, CameraImage and other film festivals.

“This is out in time to give audiences from around the world a first look, and also exhibit our film to potential distributors,” he said.

He said he’s been working around the clock to prepare for the premiere.

“It is important to me to bring the film to Indiana and feed the state that fed me,” he said. “The film festival circuit can keep you busy. But I have another script on the horizon that is even bigger. I can’t wait to dig into the writing process again.”

Lawson is grateful to Wabash officials for allowing him to film around the community.

“The support that I was given from the people of Wabash is unparalleled and I am eternally grateful,” he said.

“For those who helped with the movie, they will see their names in the credits. I hope to see you all at the Heartland Film Festival World Premiere.”

Fundraiser confirmed.

Elliot spent a week in the inpatient unit for blood work, spinal taps, a bone marrow biopsy and port placement. Since then they have made frequent trips back for clinic appointments.

Elliot’s mother, Meghan Culwell, told The Paper of Wabash County that their experience with Riley’s has been amazing.

“All the staff is so caring and patient,” she said. “You can tell they love their jobs and love these kids.

Elliott’s oncologist Dr. Yancey is amazing.

She takes her time making sure all of our questions are answered and we understand everything that is going on.”

Elliot is now in the high-risk category due to him not reaching remission in the time frame that the doctors had anticipated. Once he reaches remission, though, he will have another 2-3 years of treatment to hopefully prevent relapse.

“Elliott is very aware of his treatment and understands as much as he can,” said Mrs. Culwell. “Sometimes that makes it harder

knowing that he needs to know what’s going on at all times.

He likes to tell the nurses just the way he likes things. He needs them to use the yellow needles and put greasy stuff on before they remove his dressings. He is very much routine oriented and this whole thing has thrown him for a loop, but he’s adjusting pretty well.”

Since Elliot’s diagnosis, he was not able to go to school, but has been able to continue his education with an online service.

“Elliott is now doing online kindergarten through Indiana Digital, which has been such a blessing,” Mrs. Culwell said. “He gets to work through his lessons at his own pace and takes his laptop to the clinic with him. He has a onehour live class each day, but the rest are at your own time. Elliott is hoping to be able to attend first grade at OJ next year.”

She also mentioned that Elliot hasn’t been able to participate in a lot of group activities due to his illness, but that he is still living a pretty typical life when it comes to

the hobbies and activities he likes such as swimming at the YMCA during the day, feeding the fish at the J&K Pet Store, and playing at Friendship Hill.

“It is nice that most places are slow during the day so he can enjoy going out. He has to wear a mask most times, but he is getting used to it,” said Mrs. Culwell.

Although this experience so far has been hard on Elliot, his personality remains amazing and his heart just as big.

“He still worries about all the other sick kids and is the first to try to put a smile on your face,” said Mrs. Culwell.

“My husband Chris and I are lucky to have such an amazing and brave son. He has filled our family with so much strength and love.”

Wabash Elks Exalted Ruler Jana Slacian said, “The Elks have a slogan that says, ‘Elks Care, Elks Share.’ When we learned about Elliott and the issues he is facing, we knew we had to do something to help the family.”

The Wabash Elks Lodge is located at 225 W. Main St. in Wabash.

Wabash welcomes international troupe: Members of Gamelan Cudamani: Dance and Music of Bali, perform a native Bali dance on Sunday afternoon at the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall. The 18-member ensemble weaves layers of intricate sound: the punctuation of deep great bronze gongs, charismatic leadership from the drums, stunning interlocking percussion from the bronze gangsa, and finely elaborated delicacy of voice and flute. In addition to the performance on Sunday afternoon, the troupe performed on Monday for students at the Wabash Middle School.

A ribbon cutting ceremony took place Monday, Sept. 23, for Living Well

Downtown.

Living Well Downtown is a facility located in the Rock City Lofts complex on 35 E. Market St. in downtown Wabash that strives to serve the interests of the senior

citizens of Wabash, but is open to all ages.

Living Well Downtown is fully accessible and increases Living Well’s ability to meet the communities needs as citizens age.

“Great care was taken in getting this

right,” said Ferry.

carefully chosen to provide what seniors truly need.”

Living Well Wabash County also is located in the Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center in the City Park.

On the ensuing kickoff, Southwood’s Joey Bland returned the ball for a 74-yard

score to give the Knights a 14-6 lead after a two-point conversion from Lloyd.

ISP trooper saves boy’s life At approximately 4:27 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 25, an Indiana State Police trooper was able to utilize his training to save the life of a 5-yearold Georgia boy.

Indiana State Police Trooper Ben Reason was driving to his Fulton County home, from a day of police K-9 training in Indianapolis, when the Miami County Central Dispatch Center broadcasted an unconscious and unresponsive fiveyear-old boy. The child was inside a minivan that stopped on U.S. 31 near Miami County Road 900 North.

Trooper Reason

responded to the call for help, arriving approximately 30 seconds after the dispatch.

R e a s o n approached the minivan and found Maddox Gates, 5, Marietta, Ga., being held by his mother.

Maddox’s eyes were rolled back in his head and his jaw was clenched shut and could not be opened. He was also turning blue.

The trooper did a quick assessment on the child and preliminarily determined Maddox had an airway obstruction.

Reason then performed the Heimlich maneuver on the

child, causing the child to throw up whatever was lodged in his throat.

Reason continued to clear the child’s mouth and Maddox slowly became more responsive. Reason continued to monitor the child until firefighters, from the Denver Volunteer Fire Department, arrived and provided oxygen and further care. The boy was transported by ambulance to Dukes Memorial Hospital in Peru.

Maddox’s family was traveling through Indiana, returning home, from a family vacation in Michigan.

According to Maddox’s dad, Maddox has been released from the hospital and is doing well. They are continuing their trip home this morning.

Trooper Reason has served seven years with the Indiana State Police.

He is assigned to the Indiana State Police Special Operations Section as K-9 handler for the Special Weapons and Tactics Teams (SWAT).

Troopers receive first aid training every two years, which includes cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the Heimlich maneuver.

McKee Mortuary Hosts Funeral Planning Seminar North Manchester, IN — McKee Mortuary is hosting an all-new community event discussing the importance of advance funeral planning on Thursday, October 3rd, at 6:00 p.m. Attendees will have the chance to learn about the many benefits of planning their funeral ahead of time, including reducing the emotional burden on fam-

ily members and the possibility of locking-in today’s funeral prices.

Thinking about end-of-life matters isn’t easy, but many happy, healthy people in the community have already planned funerals for themselves or their parents. Planning in advance gives you the chance to choose how you want to be remembered by fami-

ly and friends. It allows you to choose what’s most important to you instead of relying on others to guess at what you would have wanted.

If you’ve always thought “I really should get my plans in order,” but keep putting it off, this seminar is for you.

Plus, it’s a great way to start the conversation with your family.

You’re invited to join

McKee Mortuary at the North Manchester Public Library, 405 North Market Street, North Manchester on Thursday, October 3rd, at 6:00 p.m. for more information on how advance planning can benefit you and your loved ones.

For more information, please call Joe Egner or Kelly McKee at 260-9826700.

There was a time capsule located in the North East corner on the church and has been removed and taken to the Yoke Parish Church.

Birthdays: Our very own Lowell Karns turned 85 years young on Sept. 24, 2019. Lowell is living at Wellbrooke of Wabash. He was really glad to see me as I showed up to give him his birthday card. The Urbana Lions Club members all sign their names to it. That really seemed to make him very happy. I

guess for him just knowing that his fellow Lions had not forgotten him. I also gave him a paper clipping that was taken from the paper that had his picture and age on it. I asked Lowell’s wife, Marilyn, what should Lowell do with it, she said jokingly, stick it to his head.

I always have gotten a kick out of Lowell.

He is one of the good guys. Drop him a line or go see him. That will make him happy.

U r b a n a S t r e e t l i g h t Committee: As everyone should know that September has always been the month of collecting for the Urbana streetlights. Although we accept donations all year round. I want to thank everyone that has sent in their donations.

I also want Urbana residents to know that there are several households that virtually refuse to make any donation to the light fund. They say that if the committee would have a light installed on their corner, they would make a donation.

Question: Don’t they use other lights in Urbana when it is dark? What is $20 a household per year? I know of some families that cannot afford it but they have given what they can and I’m Thankful that they want to help. The Committee has talked to Paw Paw and Lagro Township Trustees and asked them for help. Although they were sympathetic with Urbana’s plight, they made it clear that it is in their bylaws that they could not help and that it is the community’s responsibility.

Caption: An American classic, meatloaf has long held a magic place in our hearts for being able to conjure up marvelous memories of childhood meals made lovingly by Mom! Food Stylist and Photographer: Laura Kurella

Meatloaf Magic !

There are few dishes in American culture that continue to maintain an almost magical status the way meatloaf has.

Lovingly stitched into the comforting corners of our cranium, the specificities that our mothers weaved into their loaves were also unknowingly – woven into our memories to the point where they have left an indelible benchmark, causing us to compare all meatloaf we encounter to the one that our mothers made.

Evidence first recording the making of meatloaf surprisingly dates all the way back to fifth century AD where it appeared in the Roman cookbook, Apicius.

Likely making its way to America during colonial times, German immigrants were known to make a dish called scrapple, which consisted of ground pork and cornmeal blended.

By the late 1800s, versions of this recipe and the spread of industrial-scale meatpacking, which brought about the invention of the meat grinder, helped create a useful purpose for all the scraps that meat-packing creates.

Meatloaf went on to become a Godsend when the Depression hit because it enabled home cooks to stretch precious protein as far as they could and feed more people for fewer dol-

lars, which quite likely saved lives.

The same held true during the food rationing days of World War II, where meatloaf again became the answer to help see us and our country through. However, when war rationing finally did cease, our desire for meatloaf did surprisingly not decrease. In fact, during the 1950s and ’60s, home cooks got more creative with meatloaf, adding all kinds of odd things and by the time the 1970s and ’80s rolled around, elevated this dish to a higher status food by adding higher quality ingredients. It was during this time that the culmination of higherquality veal, pork, and beef became a tantalizing trio of taste to add to your loaf. A blend that became so popular that it coined itself as “Meatloaf mix!”

In the 1990s, meatloaf became so popular that even restaurateurs began offering it in variations that ranged from home-style to upscale, and upside-down too!

From its infancy as a fromscrap food to its elevation as a fine-dining feast, meatloaf has not only transcended time but also provided a pivotal place for this muchloved dish to maintain a powerful place in all of our lives – that’s magic!

Here now are two marvelous ways to make some magic too – with meatloaf. ENJOY!

This Fall is a good time for planting

LEESA METZGER

By Leesa Metzger

Fall is for planting!

Fall seems to be the perfect season to get a new landscape established. Cooler weather helps plants acclimate to their new surroundings easier than during the heat of summer. Less watering is of course a welcome relief for homeowners establishing

new plantings as well. It’s a win-win!

September is a good month to landscape with fall mums, which are available in a rainbow assortment of colors.

Bronze, red, yellow, and white are among the more popular choices. At Metzger landscaping we even carry mums that are tri-colored— that’s right—you can get three colors of mums all in the same pot!

The key to successful planting for mums for the landscape is proper site preparation. Choose a sunny, well-drained spot.

Dig and loosen the soil to a depth of eight to ten inches in a hole twice the diameter of the plant’s pot. Mix

organic matter such as compost or wellrotted manure into the soil. If you want to try to overwinter your mums, once plant tops die back after blooming or severe frost, cut the stems even with the ground. Apply a thick layer of straw or bark mulch at the end of October, removing it in the spring as the frost leaves the ground. If we have a mild winter, or you live in a mild location, chances are better that they will survive. The Garden Center at Metzger Landscaping in North Manchester has a fantastic selection of mums to brighten your landscape and perk up your front

porch decorations!

Looking for long term fall color for your landscaping?

Consider trees and shrubs that turn brilliant colors year after year. A maple tree called ‘red sunset’ turns a reliable, brilliant red color each fall. Pair the red sunset maple with a sugar maple or silver maple that turn a yellow golden color for a spectacular fall color.

There are many trees to consider for fall color, other than maples. Many of the colorful large trees turn variations of yellow including y e l l o w w o o d , American beech (a yellowish bronze), ash (a reddish yellow), ginkgo, honeylocust,

quaking aspen, golden weeping willow, and elms. For dark red colors in large trees consider some of the oaks such as the white, swamp white, scarlet, shingle, pin, and red oak. Some of the other oaks’ leaves aren’t particularly showy in fall. One of the few hardy flowering cherries for the north, the Sargent cherry, turns yellow to red. A few shrubs that I use in our landscape projects for spectactular red fall color are Viburnum ‘brandywine’, old fashioned Burning Bush, and Virgina Sweetspire. Shrubs to plant for yellow color include Buckthorne ‘fine line’, Dwarf Lilac ‘miss Kim’, and

False Cypress ‘lemon thread’.

Ornamental grasses and flowering fall perennials add texture and color to landscape beds late in the season. When most perennials are starting to wane there are several reliable perennials that homeowners can turn to for a splash of late season color. Sedum ‘brillance’ or ‘autumn joy’, Gaillardia ‘indian blanket’ and purple asters are stunning are all in the fall. All ornamental grasses seem fabulous in the fall but a few personal favorites are Panicum ‘shanendoah’, Miscanthus ‘sarenbande’ and Dwarf Fountain grass ‘hamlen.’ Visit us at

M e t z g e r Landscaping’s Garden Center for a great selection of fall mums, ornamental grasses and colorful fall perennials.
