‘On the Table’ discussions begin By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com The Community Foundation of Wabash County and Grow Wabash County, along with many other community members, invited residents and those who work in Wabash County to gather during the week of Oct. 28 to engage in conversations about the community. These conversations are called “On the Table” and are designed to be small, intimate discussions, about community members’ hopes and ideas for Wabash County. “On the Table” is a model that was developed by the Chicago Community Trust in 2014 to reach community member’s whose voices weren’t being
heard. In order to have these conversations, members of the Community Trust stationed themselves in various locations throughout the city of Chicago with the goal of being welcoming and accessible, and to listen and encourage feedback and participation from all community members. The motive for the Community Foundation and Grow Wabash County to utilize this model is based upon community members’ feedback from the Wabash County population reports in August and online survey, in addition to the recommendation from Mark Becker of Becker Consulting to implement a civic-engagement (continued on page 5)

MAXSTRONG to concentrate on toughening laws By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com With the trial of Alyssa Shepherd completed, officials at the MAXSTRONG Foundation will turn attention to fighting to continue strengthening the state’s school bus stop laws. The Foundation – named for twin brothers Mason and Xavier
Ingle and their older sister, Alivia Stahl – is dedicated to improving safety for all children that ride buses around Indiana. The three siblings were killed and a fourth, Maverik Lowe, was critically injured, on Oct. 30, 2018, after being struck by Shepherd’s vehicle as they were crossing State Road 25 to board the school bus.
Shepherd was found guilty in Fulton County Superior Court of three counts of felony reckless homicide, as well as one count of criminal recklessness and one count of driving around a school bus with the stop arm extended. Sentencing is scheduled for 1 p.m. Dec. 18. During the last legislative session, Foundation officials
worked with legislators to develop a tougher law for drivers who go around school buses when they are loading and unloading school children. The new law went into effect on July 1. Under the measure, it (continued on page 5) (continued on page 5)

MU to add master’s in nutrition From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r University is moving ahead with plans to launch a Master of Science in Nutrition and Nutrigenomics (MSNGx), President Dave McFadden announced OCT. 23. Nutrigenomics studies the relationship between a person’s DNA, nutrition and health. “MU is building on its track record as the first university in the nation to offer a master’s degree in pharmacogenomics,” McFadden said. “We’re combining what we already know in one area – the study of DNA and medication – to offer a unique opportunity in nutrition.” The timeline to offer the program will depend on hiring faculty and receiving accreditation approval from the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics and the Higher Learning Commission. “To our knowledge, the MSNGx program would be the first of its kind in the country,” said Teresa B e a m , Pharmaceutical Sciences Department chair and professor of pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacogenomics at the MU Fort Wayne campus. “Manchester University will train the nutritionist of the
future,” she said. The Board of Trustees last weekend approved the program. It is divided into two phases: Three years of undergraduate study at the North Manchester campus and two years of professional study at the Fort Wayne campus. This “3+2” approach would allow Manchester to offer a standalone master’s degree to those who already have a bachelor’s degree in a related science. The undergraduate phase will be under the direction of Jeff Beer, who has a similar role with MU’s Master of Science in Athletic Training Program. He is an associate professor of exercise science and athletic training. He was an early champion of developing nutrition undergraduate and master’s degree programs at Manchester, and he laid the groundwork for this program. Beam will lead the graduate-level phase at MU’s Fort Wayne hub for graduate and professional health science learning, and her expertise on the genomics side is key to pulling both elements into one program. Students completing the MSNGx program will be eligible to take the Commission on Dietetic Registration national credentialing examination for certification as a registered dietitian nutritionist.
Center for History tabbed for Smithsonian program JEFF BEER
TERESA BEAM “The MSNGx academic foundation is built upon accreditation-mandated nutrition competencies and then enhanced through inclusion of advanced nutrigenomics (NGx) training,” Beam said. “NGx integrates genomic science with nutrition – using an individual’s DNA – to improve their health or athletic performance.” “I cannot thank Teri and Jeff enough for getting us to this point,” McFadden said. Manchester is working to launch a number of programs in the health sciences that will help the northeast Indiana University advance its mission to “graduate persons of ability and conviction who draw upon their education and faith to lead principled, productive and compassionate lives that improve the human condition.”
Programs on China planned The Honeywell House welcomes Elizabeth Myers Macinata to present “An American in China During World War II,” on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. It is one of two upcoming programs at the Honeywell House that will focus on China. Macinata will share her father’s experiences in China while working for the Service Motor Truck Company. In 1929, Daniel Myers was hired by
the Chinese government to construct an inexpensive truck for them. He spent the next 15 years in China, which spanned through the time period of World War II, working on this project. A large collection of his letters and diaries telling about life in China will also be on display. On Nov. 19, Dave and Sandy Haist will present “China and Wabash: Working Together Today.” The program will begin at 7 p.m.
3A
The Haists will share their experiences during a recent trip when they traveled with a group of Wabash residents to Wabash’s sister city, Linhai, and several other cities in China. The couple focused on learning about the arts, culture, and history of both Linhai and China, thereby exploring ways in which Wabash can be more engaged with its sister city. Both events are free.

NORTH MANCHESTER — The North Manchester Center for History announced today that it has been selected to create one of 20 projects nationwide for the Smithsonian’s “Stories: YES” program. The program locally is a collaboration between youth from M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools and the Center for History to develop stories around the theme of the Smithsonian Museum on Main Street exhibition “Crossroads: Change in Rural American” which will be on display March 21 - May 3, 2020. “Stories: YES” participants weave national narratives
from the exhibition into the history of their own community by conducting research and interviews to produce a nonfiction story about their hometown. The program engages them with regional history and contemporary local issues, while providing an opportunity to use professional equipment and learn real-world skills. Youth projects will be displayed locally and their digital stories will be shared on Museum on Main Street’s website at https://museumonmainstreet.org/. Manchester High School will keep the equipment purchased through the program and continue to make
it available for student access. Greta Miller, MHS teacher, and Kelsy Presl, Technical Director for the Performing Arts Center, will oversee the program. A group of 14 juniors and seniors from Manchester High School have already begun exploring topics and doing research for the project. Funding for “Stories: YES” is generously provided to Museum on Main Street (MoMS) with internal Smithsonian Institution support from the Smithsonian Youth Access Grants Program. MoMS is a partnership between the Smithsonian institution Traveling Exhibition Service
(SITES) and state humanities councils. It was created to serve museums, libraries and historical societies in rural areas, where one-fifth of all Americans live. SITES has been sharing the wealth of Smithsonian collections and research programs with millions of people outside Washington, D.C., for over 65 years. It connects Americans to their shared cultural heritage through a wide range of exhibitions about art, science and history, which are shown wherever people live, work and play.

MAXSTRONG ...continued from Page 1 requires same-side pickups and drop offs of children to prevent them from having to cross busy roads or highways to get on or off buses. It also increases penalties for violators who ignore a stopped bus. H o w e v e r , MAXSTRONG officials don’t believe the measure goes far enough, and they plan to work with lawmakers to add more teeth to the law. “We’re going to touch on legislation again,” said Brittany Ingle, mother of the three children. “We want to go back for the automatic suspension (of a driver’s license), because that didn’t quite work for us the first time.” Ingle’s father, Mike Schwab, said the Foundation will work to require violators to go to victim impact groups to see the effect they have on others. In addition, he said, it will be pushing to require violators to do community service work in a trauma center “so they can firsthand see what their
reckless acts do to other people’s lives.” “There’s still some real good areas to put into the law and tighten up some of the penalties to make sure people don’t just get to walk away,” Schwab said. The situation also is drawing the attention of federal lawmakers. U.S. Reps. Jackie Walorski and Julia Brownley and U.S. Sens. Todd Young and Gary Peters have sponsored the STOP for School Buses Act in Congress. The STOP for School Buses Act would direct a comprehensive, nationwide review of efforts to prevent illegal passing of buses. Under the bill, USDOT would: Compile illegal passing laws in all states, including levels of enforcement and penalties. Review existing public safety measures and programs to prevent illegal passing of school buses. Issue recommendations on best practices for preventing illegal passing.
On the Table model in the community. Therefore, between Monday, Oct. 28, and Friday, Nov. 1, the C o m m u n i t y Foundation, Grow Wabash County, and other community members will be stationed throughout the community at various times and locations to listen to the concerns and hopes of people who live and or work in Wabash County. One of these “On the Table” meetings took place Monday, Oct. 28 at Pizza King in Wabash. A small group, indeed, was present for this discussion which allowed each participant to fully express their thoughts and concerns. The discussion was facilitated and kept on track by Andrea Zweibel of Wabash Marketplace, Inc. “The Community Foundation has taken the lead with Grow Wabash County to address the population decline, first and foremost in Wabash County,” said Zweibel. “Some of the things that they would like
us to accomplish through these ‘On the Table conversations, or just having small group, organic conversations, some of the areas that they thought would be important for us are reflecting on the positive work and programs occurring in Wabash County, identify work that needs to be done, and discuss ways in which individuals can personally make a difference to initiate action, and collaborate with peers in a civil discourse.” The guests ranged from residents who grew up in Wabash County, those who left and then returned, some who recently became Wabash County residents, and some who have not and do not live in Wabash County, but work here. Due to the diversity of the participants, many views and ideas were heard and considered, and carefully written down by a participant deemed the note taker. One participant commented that although they have never lived in
5A
...continued from Page 1 Wabash, they still can feel the “liveliness and happening” of Wabash when coming here for work. Another person commented that Wabash is very welcoming and kind to guests and visitors. When the topic of limited opportunities for entertainment and activities for Wabash County residents came up, another participant asked a question that sparked some interesting discussion. “How far is too far to drive to find things to do?” Some guests, who have children said they prefer not to drive far, where other guests without children made it a point that it did not matter as long as the destination was worth the distance. Although everyone agreed that the preference was to not have to drive far at all to have fun things to do, and that having more opportunities in Wabash County for people of all ages and interests would be a reason for people to stay in or come to Wabash County.
The meeting also included topics such as job opportunity for recent college graduates and school consolidation. Other “On the Table” meetings were to take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, Oct. 31, more meetings will take place. One from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. will be at Chapman’s Brewing Company, 233 S. Miami St., facilitated by Tenille Zartman and aimed toward Wabash County young professionals. Another one on Thursday at the same time will take place at the Charley Creek Inn Wine and Cheese Shoppe, 111 West Market Street, facilitated by Natalie Dilling.
On Friday, Nov. 1, two more meetings will be had. One will be from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Grow Wabash County, located at 214 S. Wabash St., facilitated by Keith Gillenwater. The second one will be from 5 to 8 p.m., at Chapman’s Brewing Company, facilitated by Melissa Ford and Tenille Zartman. Grow Wabash County and The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County encourage everyone to come to one of these meetings in order to contribute their thoughts and ideas to help curb population decline and keep Wabash County a livable community for all.

Norse, Knights to meet in sectional semi-finals By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com
The Southwood Knights traveled to Churubusco in the opening round of sectional play and came away with a 21-12 win over the tenth-ranked Eagles Friday, Oct. 25. Northfield, meanwhile, won a 21-8 sectional road game over Triton to set up a match-up with the county rival Knights Friday, Nov. 1 in the second round of Class 1A Sectional 44. Class 1A No. 3 Southwood (10-0) will travel to Northfield (64) Friday for a 7 p.m. kick-off. Southwood 21, Churubusco 12 Southwood overcame a 12-0 first-half deficit for the comefrom-behind win Friday night. The Eagles got on the board after a blocked punt led to a score three plays later for a 6-0 lead with 2:25 left in the first quarter. The Knights moved the ball into Churubusco territory on its next drive but an interception gave the ball to the Eagles, who then scored on an 83-yard touchdown with 10:50 left in the half for a 12-0 lead. Minutes later on a key play, Churubusco’s star running back Jake Fulk left the game with an injury. M e a n w h i l e Southwood cut the lead to 12-7 with 1:59 left in the first half on a 49-yard touchdown pass from Alex Farr to Jackson Simons. The Knight’s defense forced Churubusco to punt on the next drive but the punt was blocked with 28 seconds left in the half. Farr and Simons hooked up again, this time for 20 yards with 15 seconds remaining in the half, to give Southwood a 14-12 lead. The score remained 14-12 heading into the fourth quarter with the Knight’s driving deep into Churubusco territory. Gabe Lloyd then scored from one yard out with 8:16 remaining and the extra point made it a two-
possession game with a 21-12 lead. Farr passed for 273 yards going 21-27 with two touchdowns. Simons caught six passes, two of them touchdowns, for 84 yards, while Dawson Filip also had six catches for 93 yards. Carson Heath had three receptions, Carson Rich and Tyler Roser each had two, and Logan Barley and Tristin Hayslett each had one. On the ground, Farr had 40 yards on 16 attempts, while Lloyd had 21 yards on six carries and one touchdown. Northfield 21, Triton 8 The Norse dominated much of the game including taking a 140 halftime lead to hold on for a 21-8 win at Triton in the opening round of sectional play. Northfield struck early when Levi Fulkerson hit Alex Haupert for a 25-yard touchdown pass play just 53 seconds into the game. Trent Osborn’s extra point made it 7-0. Haupert scored his second touchdown of half in the second quarter, this time on the ground, with a 10yard run with Osborn’s extra point upping the score to 140. After an uneventful third quarter, Triton made it interesting when Tyler Amsden picked off a pass and ran it back 33 yards for a touchdown to cut Northfield’s lead to 14-8 with 10:29 left in the game. Northfield respond-
ed with a long drive that ended with a oneyard quarterback keeper from Fulkerson with 6:38 left in the game. Osborn remained perfect with the extra point for a 21-8 Norse lead and eventual win. Fulkerson passed for 129 yards and one touchdown on 8-13 attempts. Clayton Tomlinson caught three passes for 42 yards, while Haupert caught two, both for touchdowns and 52 yards total, while Graydon Holmes had two receptions and Jarret Shafer had one. Shafer led the Norse with 130 yards rushing on 21 carries, while Holmes ran for 48 yards on six carries, Fulkerson ran for 35 yards on 13 carries, and Haupert had 33 yards on six carries.

Bremen scored on a 35-yard rushing touchdown with 3:06 left in the first quarter and the two-point conversion made it 140. Manchester showed fight in the second quarter when Braxton Ream scored on a seven-yard run

with 5:00 left in the half, but the extra point was off-target, cutting the lead to 146. The Squires tied things up late. Johnny England picked off a pass that led to a 4-4 passing performance from Devin Marcum that ended with a 17-yard strike to Seth Gaerte to cut it to 14-12 Sam Martindale tied the game with a two-point conversion run with 14.1 seconds remaining for 14-14 halftime score. Bremen took a 21-14 lead on a 30-yard fumble return with seconds left in the third quarter. The Squires weren’t able to find the end zone in the fourth quarter, ending their season with a 3-7 record. Marcum passed for 154 yards on 12-19 attempts with one touchdown to Gaerte. Gaerte caught four passes for 30 yards, while Thane Creager had five catches for 69 yards, while Tyler Andritsch had four receptions for 30 yards, and Tyce Rooney had one for 19 yards. Ream led the Squires on the ground with 48 yards on eight carries and one touchdown, and Martindale ran for 28 yards on seven attempts. LaVille 44, Wabash 21 LaVille jumped all over Wabash in the opening round of sectional to run away with a 44-21 win over the Apaches. After leading 16-0, LaVille increased the lead to 23-0 early in the third quarter before Wabash got on the board. With 5:03 left in the third quarter, Kallen Kelsheimer scored on a one-yard run, followed by an extra point from Grant Carandante to cut the lead to 23-7. Early in the fourth quarter LaVille scored again for a 30-7 lead and held off the Apaches.

WINTERIZE SECTION
THE PAPER October 30, 2019
Prepare decks for winter weather Homeowners often take steps to winterize the interior of their homes in the weeks before winter’s arrival, but such efforts should extend to the outside of a home as well. Decks make for great gathering places when the weather permits. Decks are where many people spend their free time and eat their meals come spring and summer, when the temperatures climb and the sun sets well into the evening. But as summer turns to fall, homeowners must take measures to protect their decks from potentially harsh winter weather. • Inspect the deck for problems. Decks tend to be used more often in summer than any other time of year. That makes fall and early winter an ideal time to inspect for wear and tear and any additional issues that may have
cropped up throughout the summer. Damaged boards and loose handrails should be fixed before winter arrives, especially for homeowners who plan to use their decks in winter. Fixing such issues in winter and even into spring may be difficult thanks to harsh conditions, so make good use of the relatively calm autumn weather to fix any issues on the deck. • Clear the deck of potted plants. Even homeowners who intend to use their decks in winter should remove potted plants from the deck in the fall. The home improvement experts at HGTV note that moisture can get trapped between deck boards and plastic, wood or ceramic containers in cold weather, and that can contribute to mildew, discoloration or decay. • Store unnecessary (continued on page 10A)

Design outdoor space that can be used all year
For many homeowners, the arrival of fall and winter marks an end to time spent lounging and dining al fresco on the patio. But cold air does not necessarily mean patio furniture must be packed up until flowers bloom anew in spring. In its Home Design Trends Survey, the American Institute of
Architects found that consumers continue to emphasize practical features that expand the functionality of their homes via heavy investment in outdoor living spaces. The survey found that the popularity of outdoor living spaces increased by 72 percent between 2012 and 2017, highlighting just how
much homeowners enjoy spending time outdoors. By taking measures to make their outdoor living spaces winterproof, homeowners can enjoy these areas of their homes even more. • Cover your deck. A covered deck may appear to make the space less enjoyable during spring and summer. However, covered decks can protect residents from the sun on especially hot days while also making the space more functional in winter. An overhead shelter on a deck can be outfitted with heaters (and fans to provide a cooling effect in summer) and allow residents to sit outside and watch snow fall without getting wet. • Plant the right trees. Coniferous trees prevent wind, which can be especially harsh in winter. Homeowners who are unsure about which direction wind typically comes from can consult a landscape architect to determine where to plant the trees to ensure they’re most effective. • Fire up the patio. A
firepit or fireplace can warm up an outdoor living area, making such a space warm and cozy even on a cold winter night. A patio with a built-in firepit can cost a pretty penny, but such an addition can withstand winter weather better than a standalone firepit, which might be vulnerable to being tipped over by winter winds. • Install lighting. The sun sets early in winter, so homeowners won’t be able to rely on natural light to illuminate their outdoor living spaces well into the evening like they do in summer. Heat lamps can be used to both warm and illuminate a space, serving dual, budget-friendly functions.
Decks ...cont. from Page 9 f u r n i t u r e . Homeowners who like to sit on their decks in winter will no doubt want to leave some furniture out over the winter. But those with lots of furniture for entertaining guests can likely move the majority of that furniture into a garage or shed for the winter. HGTV notes that doing so will prevent the potential formation of blemishes on the deck that can result from inconsistent weathering. • Remove snow, but do so carefully. Prolonged contact with snow and ice can
damage a deck. As a result, homeowners should clear snow from their decks when accumulation is significant. HGTV recommends using a snow blower on the deck to avoid scarring. If a shovel must be used, push snow with the planks to reduce the risk of damaging the deck. Homeowners who take steps to protect their decks throughout the winter months can ensure these popular areas are ready once entertaining season returns in the spring.

Ways to reduce cold-weather fire risk
Plenty of things heat up when the temperature drops, including the risk for fire hazards.
Fireplaces, stoves, heating systems, candles, and even electric lights are used more often during the win-
ter than any other time of year, so it makes sense that the risk of home fires increases when the
mercury drops. The U.S. Fire Administration says 905 people die in winter home fires each year. Cooking is the leading cause of all home fires and contributes to around $2 billion in property loss each year. Understanding potential risks and exercising caution can help homeowners protect themselves, their families and their homes from fire.
Cooking Home heating fires peak between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., when many people are home preparing dinner. The following steps, courtesy of the American Red Cross, can improve safety in the kitchen and reduce the likelihood of a home fire. • Never leave cooking food unattended, as it can take just seconds for fires to ignite. • Keep anything that
can catch fire away from the stove or other appliances that generate heat. • Clean regularly to prevent grease buildup. • Make sure appliances are turned off before leaving the room or going to bed. Heating The National Fire P r o t e c t i o n Association warns that heating is the second leading cause of home fires, deaths
and injuries in the United States. The NFPA offers these safety guidelines. • Install heating appliances according to manufacturers’ instructions or have a professional do the installation. • Fuel-burning equipment needs to vent to the outside. • Never use an oven to heat a home. • Keep anything that can burn away from heating equipment, including portable space heaters. • Clean and inspect heating appliances regularly. • Turn off portable heaters when leaving the room or going to bed.
Electric The National Safety Council estimates that between 600 and 1,000 people die each year from electrocution. Electricity also can contribute to home fires. The Energy Education Council offers these safety suggestions. • Never force plugs into outlets. • Check that cords are not frayed or cracked. Do not run cords under carpets or place them in hightraffic areas. • Use extension cords only on a temporary basis. • Make sure light bulbs are the proper wattage for fixtures. • Install ground fault circuit interrupters in kitchens, baths, laundry rooms, and elsewhere, making sure to test them regularly. • Check periodically for loose wall receptacles and loose wires. Listen for popping or sizzling sounds behind walls. Home fires are no joke and can be prevented with simple safety checks.

Stack firewood properly
Safeguard against snow damage Snow may delight young children itching for a day off from school. But for many homeowners, the sight of snow means their time will soon be spent clearing paths and plowing driveways rather than building snowmen and sledding with friends. The sight of falling snow also may inspire some homeowners to think about the roofs of their homes. The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety warns that it is important to understand the risk of roof collapse due to the weight of snow on the roof. Roof structures that are in good condition can support roughly 20 pounds per square foot. IIBHS says this equates to around four feet of new snow before a roof will become stressed. Total snowfall is not the only factor to c o n s i d e r . Homeowners also must check the type of snow that has fallen. According to House
Logic, six inches of wet snow is equal to the weight of about 38 inches of dry snow. That means it may take much less sodden snow to weigh down a roof. Roof condition and the shape of the roof bear consideration as well. Popular Mechanics says the ideal pitched roof is smooth and steep so that the snow slides off. Closely spaced rafters improve the strength of the roof. A flat or slightly pitched roof may accumulate snow more readily. Homeowners are urged to inspect roof rafters to see if they are cracked from previous snowstorms or damaged from insects or rot. Snapping or popping sounds while snow is on the roof is not a good sign. House Logic also says that homeowners can tell if the snow load on the roof is too much by paying attention to interior doors. If such doors begin to stick, that may be a signal that there’s enough weight on the
center of the house to distort the door frames. Houses that had improper renovations or homes in which load-bearing walls were removed may be more susceptible to this problem.
Removing snow from a roof is not an easy job — and may be a task best left to professionals. The safest way to remove snow from the roof is to use a snow rake with an extension.

A fireplace is a cozy and warm spot around which a family can gather. The home and real estate r e s o u r c e HomeGuides.com indicates that 60 percent of new homes have a fireplace, which is up from 36 percent in the 1970s. Naturally, fueling a fireplace for the season may require homeowners with wood-burning units to keep an ample supply of wood at the ready. How that wood is stored is important, as properly stored firewood can prevent waste and other issues around the house. Wood that is freshly cut has a water content of 60 percent or more. Yet, for best burning ability, wood should be near 20 percent in water content.
Green wood is hard to ignite and will not burn nearly as well or efficiently as seasoned wood. Another concern associated with green wood is that it can contribute more to creosote accumulation in the flue of a fireplace. Creosote is a combustible material that may lead to fires if left unchecked. According to BioAdvanced®, a science-based lawn, garden and home improvement innovator, seasoning wood typically takes six months to a year. Homeowners may opt to purchase seasoned wood that already has sat and dried. Homeowners who have an abundance of firewood have to store it somewhere. Log Splitters Direct sug-
gests choosing a dry, breezy area of the property that is about 20 feet from the nearest door to the house. This helps avoid hitchhiker pests from coming inside with the wood, such as termites, ants, spiders, and mice. Do not stack the wood flush against a structure. It should be at least a few inches away to allow airflow behind the stack. Stick to organized rows of wood no more than four feet high. Log racks and pallets and posts will keep the wood up and off of the ground where moisture and rotting can develop. Placing the logs in an unorganized pile will impede air flow and cause the wood to rot rather than continue to dry and sea(cont. on page 14A)

14A Health officials recommend flu shots
THE PAPER
www.thepaperofwabash.com
INDIANAPOLIS— The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) is encouraging Hoosiers to get vaccinated against influenza soon as cases of the flu begin emerging across the state. “Although we can’t predict how severe our flu season will be, we are already seeing influenza activity in Indiana, so it’s important that Hoosiers take steps quickly to protect themselves and their loved ones,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “Flu can be deadly, especially in vulnerable populations, so the time to take those protective measures is now.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone age 6 months and older get a flu vaccine each year. Dr. Box said that because infants under 6 months can’t be vaccinated, it’s important that anyone in a household where a young baby lives or visits get a flu shot to protect the child. Healthcare workers also are urged to get a flu vaccine to reduce their
Common signs and symptoms of the flu include: Fever of 100 degrees or greater Headache Fatigue Cough Muscle aches Sore throat Runny or stuffy nose risk of transmitting illness to their patients. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies that protect against flu to develop in the body, so the CDC recommends that vaccination be offered by the end of October. Flu shots can be obtained through primary care providers and many pharmacies. To find the nearest location to get a flu shot, Hoosiers can go to https://vaccinefinder.org/. Influenza is a viral infection of the respiratory tract. It is spread by respiratory droplets released
when infected people cough or sneeze nearby or when people touch surfaces or objects contaminated with those infectious respiratory droplets. People can also become infected by touching surfaces or objects contaminated with influenza viruses and then touching their eyes, mouth or nose. Although anyone can get the flu, some people are at higher risk of flu-related complications, such as pneumonia, hospitalization and death. Since the 2014-15 flu season, nearly 800 Hoosiers have died of flu-related illness.
High-risk individuals include pregnant women, young children (especially those too young to get vaccinated), people with chronic illnesses, people who are immunocompromised and the elderly. It is especially important for these individuals to be vaccinated each year. Common signs and symptoms of the flu include: Fever of 100 degrees or greater Headache Fatigue Cough Muscle aches Sore throat Runny or stuffy nose People can help prevent the spread of flu by washing their hands frequently and thoroughly, avoiding touching their eyes, nose and mouth with their hands and staying home when sick. Hoosiers should practice the “Three Cs” to help prevent the spread of flu and other infectious diseases: Clean: Properly wash your hands frequently with warm, soapy water. Cover: Cover your cough and sneeze into your arm or a disposable tissue. Contain: Stay home from school or work when you are sick to keep your germs from spreading.

the stack and extends a few inches down the sides. Keep the sides mostly exposed to air. Others prefer to stack it in a barn or shed or under an overhang. Green wood is less expensive than seasoned wood. Those who prefer this method should do so in the early spring and let it season over the next several months. Bankrate says that the cost of a cord of wood varies across the country, but in general one can expect to pay between $120 and $180 for a cord of hardwood that is split and seasoned. This price may be higher in mid-winter when demand increases.

Since 1900, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60 percent to 17 percent, yet the vast majority of America’s physical landscape remains rural. “Crossroads” looks at this remarkable societal change and how rural A m e r i c a n s responded. “We are thrilled to provide funds to underserved areas in Indiana like Wabash to explore the many themes of rural change that resonate with Hoosiers today, including identity, land, community, persistence and managing change,” said Keira Amstutz, President and CEO of Indiana Humanities. “We look forward to using the themes of the tour to celebrate our rural past while s p a r k i n g conversations about our future.” “The Museum was honored to be selected as a recipient of this award and with it we wanted to install a permanent exhibit that would encourage our guests to talk about how changes in rural American have and are impacting our communities,” said Mitch Figert, President and CEO of the Wabash County Museum.

Visit Wabash County ornament available Visit Wabash County’s exclusive Christmas ornament will be available for purchase at 10 a.m. Nov. 1. For the 2019 ornament artisan Candie Cooper created prints of the iconic Wabash Courthouse from an old postcard and added her creative twist to make the scene pop. Seventh in a series, each Wabash Courthouse ornament has been assembled in Wabash. “My love of sparkle and nostalgia inspired this year’s ornament design,” said Cooper. “Antiquing in downtown Wabash started when I was a kid with my grandparents, and there’s just something about the patina and surfaces on vintage pieces that tell a story and have always stood out to me. It could be the sparkle from an old chandelier, lace from your Grandma’s trim stash, or a courthouse postcard from your Grandpa’s collection. When you look at the ornament, I hope you’re also reminded of happy memories. I love my hometown and was honored to design this
ornament for you.” A native of Wabash, Cooper is a jewelry designer with a passion for combining unique materials and color combinations. Cooper is the author of Necklaceology, Metalworking 101 for Beaders, Felted Jewelry, and Designer Needle Felting. She has appeared
on the PBS television show “Beads, Baubles and Jewels” and hosts daily Facebook Live shows focusing on living a creative lifestyle. “I am very excited to feature local artisan Candie Cooper this year,” said Jennifer Long-Dillon, tourism manager for Visit Wabash County.

They received a report on the criteria the PEO Scholarship Awards Committee have suggested be used when considering a candidate for the scholarship. Because these scholarships are not a need based award the criteria is much higher. PEO is looking for exceptional students who lead in their fields in research, are active in their communities and possess strong leadership abilities. When candidates are interviewed, these qualities should be in the forefront of interviewees minds and they must seek exceptional women to nominate. Members also received a report from Jane Sharon, Chapter AG, Marion, about the 2019 International Convention held in Des Moines, Iowa. The convention celebrated PEO’s 150th Birthday and was held on the campus of Iowa Weslyan University where PEO was first founded.

In ArtsPower’s newest musical, Judy Moody and her brother, Stink, take audiences on a hilarious adventure. As usual, Judy is in a mood. After seeing her classmate’s picture on the front page of the newspaper, Judy wants to be famous and sets off to find fame and happiness. All the while, Stink and his foul-smelling sneakers become a real distraction as he vies for the coveted Golden Clothespin Award. Judy Moody and Stink are the perfect pair for their imperfect capers that lead to fun, mystery, sibling rivalry, and, in the end, true friendship.

Tornadoes” have never won a football game (or even scored a single point)! Kindhearted Miss Nelson comes to the rescue when she enlists the help of her alter ego, the ill-tempered Miss Viola Swamp, to coach the team and whip them into shape. Considered by all to be “the meanest substitute teacher in the whole world,” Coach Swamp applies her trademark discipline to the players’ training, demanding tough
exercises and no back talk. In the end, the team changes their attitude, pulls together, sharpens their skills, and manages to win the biggest game of the year.

It’s that colorful time of year — fall By Leesa Metzger
Each year all kinds of people make predictions as to how good the fall color will be and when the fall color will appear. Predictions are tricky. Good fall color depends on adequate rainfall through the season, a good growing season, fall weather, plant genetics, and changes in day length. The sun and the earth have taken care of the day length issue. Each year after June 22 the length of daylight grows progressively shorter. Plants respond to certain day
LEESA METZGER lengths, but not all species and not even all individuals in the same species will respond the same to day length. There isn’t an alarm that goes off in each maple as soon as the day
length reaches 12 hours. Plants react on a flexible nature time, not a digital watch human time. With plant genetics in relation to fall color, some trees are predictable in their color. Ginkgos, redbud, larch, tulip poplars, hickory and birch are always some shade of yellow. Some plants are much less predictable. Maples, sassafras, sweetgums and ash can be yellow, red or combinations. Fall color is also affected by the weather while the leaves are changing. If we get into a dry spell with hot winds, the
leaves may just stay a sort of pale green and then fall off. If we get an early freeze, the leaves may just turn black and fall off. Sunny days and cool nights intensify red colors. Actually bright sunlight is crucial to the production of red pigments in fall leaves. Sometimes we see this as a two-layer effect where the outer or upper leaves are red and lower, less exposed leaves are yellow. If you have decided you want a plant with good fall color, it is best to purchase the plant in the fall. There
is great variability even in plants such as burning bush. Or select named cultivars. For red fall colors in red maples look for ‘Autumn Fantasy‚‘ ‘Red Sunset’ or ‘October Glory’ or with white ashes look for ‘Autumn Applause’ (maroon), ‘Autumn Blaze’ (purple), or ‘Royal Purple.’ Other plants with good fall color include: serviceberry, black gum, bald cypress, Kentucky coffeetree, pagoda dogwood, hackberry, honey locust, larch, or blackhaw viburnum. One of my favorites is white oak, although
they aren’t the hot sports car red of burning bushes, but instead a fine aged wine red. Another great tree for fall is the clear yellow of a ginkgo tree whose leaves seem to hold hands and dive off the tree all at once. One of the best and most reliable fall performer is black gum also called sour gum. Its leaves show yellow, orange, scarlet and purple. In the fall the green chlorophyll in the leaves steps aside to let the yellows and reds take center stage. Interestingly unlike the vivid colors of
flowers which are necessary to attract pollinators, there seems to be no biological importance to color change. It’s just a by-product of a seasonal change from growing season to dormancy. A splash of fall color—what a great way to say goodbye to another growing season.

seeds to savor!
I admit it. I love Halloween for all the wrong reasons. Whilst everyone else is hunting for costumes and ways to make their house look haunted, I’m hunting for the largest pumpkins at the lowest prices! My reason? The seeds! Yes, I admit it. I love them. In fact, I am so deeply smitten with pumpkin seeds that some may even label me an outright addict. However, this addiction has been arduous to maintain because, while I do indeed love them, I cannot find a commercial supplier to create them the way I like. When I was a kid, I dealt with it as I could and the only pumpkin seeds available for purchase was Indian brand pumpkin seeds, which came in small, red cardboard box. I remember one time my sister Nancy caught me running a fistful of them under a faucet in the restroom of the local, Hoosier Theater. She had this look of surprise as she asked, “Why are you doing that, Laury?” I replied quite plainly, “Because they are too salty.” Fast forward to present day and I can tell you that as an adult, there has been nary an October that I have not purchased a pumpkin for the sole purpose of gutting it for its seeds! I crave pumpkin seeds and perhaps it is because they are so nutritional so, if you are fortunate enough to find yourself elbow deep in guts, remember the best part for your belly comes from the belly - of the pumpkin! Making use of the seeds after carving not only eliminates waste, but it offers us some pretty great health benefits, too! Pumpkin seeds contain half the recommended daily amount of magnesium. They a good source of zinc – a super important element for men’s prostate health – and an immunity and mood booster. Like other nuts and seeds, pumpkin seeds are also rich in heart–healthy fats such as omega 3s, and they help to keep glucose levels constant as well. Pumpkin seeds also contain tryptophan, a precursor to melatonin, which may aid in restful sleep. Halloween does offer lots of fun and festive things to do and adding some good ole Jack-O-Lantern seeds will help improve everything this day – most especially your mood! Here now are three super tasty ways to savor these most special seeds that come to us just once a year - ENJOY!
savory-sweet seeds 2 cups pumpkin seeds 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger Pinch cayenne pepper
5 tablespoons sugar, divided use 1/4 teaspoon ground Saigon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon peanut oil
Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line baking pan with parchment paper. Rinse seeds, removing any pulp, then spread seeds on baking pan and bake until dry, about an hour, stirring occasionally. In a medium bowl, combine 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne. Heat peanut oil in a large, heavy skillet, over a medium-high heat. Add pumpkin seeds and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and the pumpkinseeds begin to caramelize, about a minute or two. Transfer to bowl with spices and stir well to coat. Let cool then store in an airtight container. Approximate servings per recipe: 12. Nutrition per serving: Calories 154; Fat 6g; Sodium 43 mg; Potassium 187 mg; Carbohydrate 9g; Fiber 1g; Sugars 5g; Protein 6g. Nutritional Analysis: No cholesterol, low in sodium, high in iron, high in manganese, high in magnesium, high in phosphorus (Source: Calorie Count.com).
salty-dog seeds 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds 1 hot pepper, sliced (optional) Vinegar for sprinkling (optional)
3 tablespoons white or malt vinegar 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1 teaspoon flaked kosher salt
In a medium size bowl, combine raw pumpkin seeds, vinegar, sea salt and hot pepper, if using. Cover bowl and leave on counter (at room temperature) overnight. The next day, preheat oven to 200 degrees, drain seeds then place seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle with a little vinegar then bake for 8 minutes. Stir and sprinkle with flake salt, if using then return to oven for 8 more minutes and repeat. Continue checking and stirring until seeds are as dry or toasted as you would like. Cool completely before storing in an air tight container. Approximate servings per recipe: 12. Nutrition per serving: Calories 136; Fat 11g; Sodium 198 mg; Potassium 189 mg; Carbohydrate 4g; Fiber 1g; Sugars 0g; Protein 5g. Nutritional Analysis: No cholesterol, very low in sugar, high in iron, high in manganese, high in magnesium, high in phosphorus (Source: Calorie Count.com).
sweet-pumpkin seeds 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 2 tablespoons peanut oil 2 tablespoons white sugar 2 cups pumpkin seeds, rinsed and dried 1 tablespoon butter
One of the greatest perks to carving pumpkins is the plethora of seeds that offer up the opportunity to roast them into something sweet, salty or even savory! Food stylist & photographer: Laura Kurella
In a medium bowl, combine dark brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice then set aside. In a heavy skillet over medium heat, combine peanut oil and granulated sugar. Add pumpkin seeds, then stir constantly to coat seeds with sugar / oil mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and the pumpkin seeds begin to caramelize, about a minute or two. Remove from heat, add butter, stirring well then, once butter is melted, pour seed mixture into sugar/ spice bowl. Stir rapidly to coat seeds completely with sugar/ spice mixture and continue to stir occasionally until seeds cool. Approximate servings per recipe: 12. Nutrition per serving: Calories 166; Fat 13g; Sodium 11mg; Potassium 189 mg; Carbohydrate 8g; Fiber 1g; Sugars 4g; Protein 6g.
