68 graduate from SHS By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Patrons and parents alike packed into the Southwood High School gymnasium to witness the ushering in of a new era, as 68 graduates accepted their diplomas at the school’s 57th commencement exercises Friday night. MSD of Wabash County Superintendent Mike Keaffaber urged the graduates to remember who packed their parachute, meaning to take time to remember who helped them along their path to graduation, during his welcome address.

Keaffaber also urged the graduates to continue to dream big and work hard even though their days at Southwood were coming to an end. Valedictorian Benjamin Roudebush said the Class of 2019 has a long list of people to thank, from moms and dads to teachers and faculty members, as well as the role models they looked up to. “Without these and other wonderful people in our lives, we would not be graduating tonight, and I certainly would not be giving this speech,” Roudebush said. Not only did parents provide for basic needs, they went above and to support their children in their lives,

Roudebush said. Teachers, too, have worked extra hours, toiling away into the night for the graduating seniors. “They taught us the curriculum, yes, but most importantly, they also taught us how to work hard and persevere,” he said. “Thank you.” Roudebush said that every good graduation speech includes a portion where the valedictorian brags about all the graduating class has achieved. About a fourth of the graduating class was enrolled in at least one college level course, and a large portion of the class received training at

One by one Friday night, Wabash High School seniors walked across the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater stage, shook hands with school officials, received their diplomas and prepared, in the words of Salutatorian Kiley Stone, to begin a new chapter in their lives. Ninety-eight students became the newest alumni of Wabash High School in front of a theater filled with family, friends, teachers and others who have made an impact on their lives. The students listened to words of advice from Valedictorian Kaitlan Tracy and the aforementioned Stone, watched a slide show, shared memories and, yes, even shed a tear or two. Tracy encouraged her classmates to visualize the positive. “Guys, life is nice,” she said. “We are graduating. We are surrounded by friends and family that love us, care for us, and push us to be the best versions of ourselves. “We are entering the rest of our lives with doors wide open and endless opportunities. We are future doctors.

Sixty-four high school seniors turned their tassels Saturday night during commencement ceremonies at Northfield High School gym, officially becoming the school’s newest alumni. The students, some of whom had their caps decorated with various items, walked down the aisle to the school band’s performance of “Pomp and Circumstance,” quietly making their seats in front of the stage. They listened as classmates Erin Whetstone and Erin Proebstle gave a welcome message and brief message from the students. Following a performance by the school’s a capella choir, Valedictorian Emily Clendenon and Salutatorian Faith Macy shared a few words of encouragement with their classmates, as well as friends and relatives who filled the bleach(continued on page 8)

MHS graduates 134 students By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School said good-bye to the Class of 2019 at the 62nd Annual Commencement ceremony on Friday. In front of a near capacity crowd of fellow students, teachers, family and friends, 134 seniors prepared for their next journeys. Student Council president Cora Barnett opened the ceremony by welcoming those in attendance, followed by words from Senior Council officer Jirni Cripe, who shared her “business card” that describes who she is. “We each have our own personal business card that reflects on who we are and have become,” Cripe said. “We are identified by the name at the top of our business card … [and] we each have a grasp of who we are and who that name has defined us to be. “But as we look further onto each of our business (continued on page 8)

Council OKs new stop sign By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A new three-way stop sign will soon be placed at the intersection of Pike Street, Mill Creek Pike and Yankee Road. The Wabash City Council approved on two readings an amendment to a city ordinance allowing the placement of the stop sign. Two sides of the three-way stop sign are within the city limits, while the third is outside the limits. Because of that, the Wabash County

Commissioners had to approve the stop sign, which they did earlier this year. Mayor Scott Long, when he broached the idea of the stop sign in March and again on Monday night, said he has received numerous complaints about vehicles speeding through the intersection. Some vehicles, he said, have damaged local lawns while at least once a building near the site was hit by a vehicle. Council member Mitch Figert said he has received numerous calls about the stop sign, and all but one had been

favorable. The lone dissent, he said, came from a county resident who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have to stop at another intersection on his way to work. After approving the measure on first reading, the Council suspended the rules and voted on the matter a second time. That was done to allow work on placing the stop signs to begin sooner. Street Superintendent Scott Richardson said signs warning of the new stop sign may be placed in advance of the intersection.

New mural planned downtown By The Paper staff

TECHNOLOGY SALE 2MH 2MH *EVP] 2MH *EVP] *EVP]

The Design Committee of Wabash Marketplace is installing a new mural in downtown. The committee was inspired by the trendy wing murals in cities such as Nashville, Tennessee. The Wings@Wabash version will be installed on Miami Street, at the current site of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wabash County Charmsâ&#x20AC;? mural. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wabash County Charms mural has been installed for a few years and is ready for an update. We are excited to add a new splash of color to downtown,â&#x20AC;? Project Coordinator Andrea Zwiebel said. A local artist, Erica Tyson, is commissioned to paint the mural. She is a professional artist with The Orange Door Art Studio and art teacher at Southwood Elementary. Tyson was selected for her whimsy style that would pair well

with the wing concept. She also painted large-scale murals at Wabash County Historical Museum and Modocâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My design for the Wings@Wabash mural is inspired by the Wabash County Courthouse. It utilizes the historic color palette, as wellâ&#x20AC;? Tyson said. The mural is interactive and will be a prime photo location. The public is invited to stand in front of the wings to become part of the butterfly. There is also a pint-size version for children and pets! Wabash Marketplace is accepting donations to support the installation of the project. The project is spearheaded by Wabash Marketplace, with support from project supporters Schlemmer Brothers, Visit Wabash County, Big City Paints, and The Orange Door Art Studio.

NHS, SHS receive awards

MCS board names new superintendent In a quick, 5-minute meeting Tuesday morning, May 28, the M a n c h e s t e r Community School Board of Trustees announced the names of the new school superintendent, Dr. Teresa L. Gremaux, and the new member of the board, Craig Haecker. Gremaux comes to MCS from North White School Corporation where she has been superintendent the past four years. “I really wanted a quality corporation, and Manchester seemed to fit that bill,” she said. “Also, I have seven grandchildren born in the last four years. I’ve been at North White, and they are all in the Fort Wayne area, so I wanted to get closer to family. It was a good winwin on both parts.” Gremaux started her career in education as an elementary teacher at Southwick Elementary School in Fort Wayne and was elevated to principal there. After five years in that position, she was asked to move across the street to Harding Junior High. “I did that for three years while I was getting my doctorate and

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

my Ph.D.,” Gremaux said. “I was really encouraged to be a superintendent, so that’s when I started looking and ended up at North White.” She and her husband, Tom, have been married for nearly 35 years. The couple has four children, three in the Fort Wayne area, one in Chicago, and eight grandchildren. Gremaux joked that the position at Manchester was meant to be. “I grew up Teresa Squires … that’s my maiden name,” she said. “I have always been a Squire.” MCS board president Ruth Ayres said Gremaux will be a good fit for Manchester. “She was extremely impressive to the board, and when she was here visiting the school, we heard only good things about here,” Ayres said. “We’re excited to have somebody in leadership. MCS board member Brice Bedke agreed with Ayres. “In the whole process, she did phenomenally well .. very professional, giving ‘thank you’ notes, and just the interaction with us and the staff,” he said. “She did a great job, and we’re very excited to have her.” Haecker was

DR. TERESA GREMAUX appointed as the new MCS board member by a 4-1 vote with Bedke, Ayres, Rick Espeset and Steve Flack voting in favor, while Dave Terflinger voted for Raju Shah, and Mike Hensley abstained. Michael Dixon and Richard West also applied and interviewed for the vacant seat left open by Nate Vanderpool who was forced to leave the board after being named Wabash Superior Court judge. Haecker said he was surprised to get the vote, but is glad and ready to start. “It’s something I thought about doing last fall during the election,” he said. “I had a couple of people approach me about it, but the timing wasn’t right then. I guess it feels right now.”

MSD of Wabash C o u n t y Superintendent Mike Keaffaber announced at Tuesday night’s school board meeting that Northfield and Southwood High Schools were named recipients of a pair of awards. The first award is a College Success Award from GreatSchools.org. The College Success Award, Keaffaber explained, is awarded to schools who stand out based on schoollevel college readiness and postsecondary data collected, which gauges whether students enroll in college, are ready for college-level coursework, and advance to a second year of college. Both schools also received mention in the U.S. News and World Report Best High School rankings. That award recognizes the schools’ ability to help students succeed at state assessments and prepare for college. Keaffaber also

Local Special Olympians to compete in State Games By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Thirty-five athletes from the Wabash County Special Olympics will be headed to Terre Haute this weekend to participate in and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Special Olympics Indiana’s summer games. The games will be June 7-9 at Indiana State University and Ro s e - H u l m a n Institute of Technology.

The local athletes will participate in numerous running events, as well as shot put and bocce ball, according to coaches Katelin Lloyd and Doug Adams. In addition, athletes from around Indiana will participate in volleyball, bowling and swimming. Special Olympics Indiana was founded in June 1969, one year after the inaugural Special Olympics International Games in Chicago. The program uses year-round sport, health, educa-

tion and leadership programs to end discrimination against and empower people with intellectual disabilities. The Special Olympics program is important to the athletes for a number of reasons, Lloyd said. “Number one it gets them physical,” she said. “It gets them out there doing things and being active, which is super important, especially for a lot of our athletes because their metabolism is a lot lower. “But it’s also really

important for them because it helps them feel successful in something. In a world and a society where we don’t really make those special regulations for them that really allows them to adapt. This is a great place for them to have all that and feel successful. It’s pretty important for them.” Adams uses the local Special Olympics basketball team to make a point of how the athletes strive for success. “We started basketball 12 or 15 years

ago,” he said. “We had athletes come out that couldn’t even hit the basket; none of them. Two months ago, we took three five on five teams to area games. “That’s just an example of what happens when the athletes get out and are coached. It’s a good thing for them.” The Wabash County Special Olympics has been in existence for at least 20 years, Adams said. “At one time, the Kiwanis just annually came out and had spring games here,” he said. “That was limited to like ARC and Pathfinders. Probably 20 years ago there were some of us that came out regularly for spring games that decided to start Wabash County Special Olympics, thus allowing any athlete to participate. “Then, of course, you take on the responsibility of coaching and a whole bunch of other stuff.” The formation of Wabash County Special Olympics also allows the local athletes to participate in the District and State games. The pair spoke with The Paper of Wabash

Photo by Josh Sigler County prior to a team practice at Wabash High School’s Alumni Field. “A typical practice for track looks pretty different that a regular track meet,” Lloyd said. “We do have some similarities. We stretch; we warm up all together. Then we actually separate them out based on what events they are in. Their events are dictated based on their abilities. “We separate them out. We have them go to different events. We have them go out and practice throwing. Some of them are also runners so we’ll have them come out and do

that as well. “We do a lot of running and walking as well. Typically at a high school practice, you run them into the ground, and you keep having them run and run and run and run. Here, we have a lot of modifications that allow them to have proper breaks when they need them. “I give a set workout for everyone, but ultimately it is based off of what they can do in the end.” Aaron, Cathryn and Alley are three of the 35 athletes who will participate in the State games. They said they (continued on page 5

Special Olympics enjoy participating in Special Olympics, and that one of the highlights for them is being able to cheer on their teammates and the other athletes participating in the games. “I just really enjoy that we cheer people on,” Cathryn said of participating. Aaron is involved in shot put, the 4x1 relay and the 100 meter dash. Cathryn will compete in the 100 meter, the 4x1 relay and the mini-javelin,

while Alley does the 100 meter dash and shot put. Lloyd and Adams admit that as much as the athletes get out of the games, the coaches get much more. “The best thing for us is we get to see them get that award,” Lloyd said. “But we also get to see them put in that hard work. It’s much more fulfilling.” Lloyd is in her fourth year of coaching the local athletes. She said the transfor-

out the summer break. “Providing children access to wholesome and nutritious meals during the summer months is important to their wellbeing,” said Dr. Jennifer McCormick, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. “I want to thank our sponsors for their dedication and support.” June marks the busiest month for the summer food program when many families seek help for additional nutrition resources. As a result, Governor Eric J. Holcomb has issued a

A record 2,868 Special Olympic athletes and unified partners representing 66 delegations from around the state. In addition, some 1,200 coaches, 1,800 volunteers and thousands of family members

and friends will also be at the games. Adams estimates that in addition to the 35 local athletes, some 25 coaches and volunteers also will be in attendance. The theme for the 2019 Summer Games is “Joy of Inclusion,” which highlights the true spirit of Special Olympics past, present and future.

statewide proclamation declaring the week of June 10-14 Summer Food Service Program Week. For more than 40 years, the Summer Food Service Program has provided eligible children and youth ages 18 and under with access to free, nutritious meals and snacks during the summer months. In 2018, Indiana sponsors served nearly 2.7 million meals across the state. Site locations and meal service times vary throughout Indiana, and locations range from parks and community centers to

schools, churches, neighborhoods, and mobile feeding sites. The Summer Food Service Program is a federal nutrition program funded by the United States Department of Agriculture and administered by the Indiana Department of Education. The program is designed to meet the needs of low-income children in areas where children may have limited access to good nutrition.

85 Hope reports record Pap party attendance By The Paper staff

Seventeen women attended the 85 HOPE Pap party at Manchester PPG Clinic in North Manchester on April 23. After hosting parties in both Wabash and Manchester, 85 HOPE Free Medical Clinic of Wabash County reports a record attendance of 51 women in 2019. “This year, we screened a record number of Wabash County women for cervical cancer at our annual 85 Hope Pap Parties,” said Dr. Rose Wenrich, M.D., President of the 85 HOPE Board of Directors. “Every woman age 40 and over was also offered a mammogram. I am so grateful for the volunteers and the community’s financial support for this event. “No woman should die from cervical can-

cer, and early detection is the best way to keep that from happening.” The Pap parties have taken place annually for several years and, 85 Hope Executive Director Laura Spaulding said. The group plans to continue this event in 2020. “We enjoy being able to serve Wabash County women in this way and are grateful to all the providers and staff who volunteered to make these parties possible.” 85 HOPE is a free medical clinic for low-

income adults ages 1864 who are uninsured or under-insured and is located at Friends Church, 3563 South State Road 13, Wabash. Office hours are Tuesdays and Thursday 1-5 pm. Clinic hours are by appointment only Thursdays 5-8 pm. Persons interested in becoming a client, volunteer, or donor may call 260-274-0011 (please leave a message), email at director@85hope.org, follow the clinic on Facebook at 85 Hope, or visit their website at 85hope.org.

Arc of Wabash County CEO Jeff Patton was on hand at the Tuesday, May 28, Wabash County Commissioners meeting to make a 2020 budget request. Patton asked for a 5 percent increase in the annual request, for the amount of $71,662. The Commissioners explained that they will take the request to the County Council during budget hearings for approval. Living Well in Wabash County CEO Beverly Ferry was also on hand, to present documents related to the 5311 Public Transportation Grant for signature. County Highway Superintendent John Martin presented to Commissioners the annual operational report for local roads and bridges

for their approval and signatures. The report is for the State Board of Accounts, and tracks how the county spends money on road construction. Martin also requested approval for body and equipment for a single-axel dump truck from W.A. Jones and Son, for $80,876. Martin also asked for permission to replace a 2012 truck, which serves as the county’s sign truck. Martin explained that it’s spent more time in the shop than it has on the road this year, with diesel exhaust issues. Sheriff Ryan Baker gave his weekly jail report. The average daily population last week was 117, with 33 new bookings and eight transports. Fifty-two inmates were being housed in Miami County, with seven in Eklhart County.

THE PAPER

SHS graduation Heartland Career Center through an internship. “At such a small school, people often play multiple roles, and nowhere is this more true than Southwood,” Roudebush said. “Most students of the Class of 2019 aren’t one trick ponies; we have taken on harder courses and we have excelled, we have played multiple sports, we have participated in clubs, and somehow we still found time to make friends and have fun. Needless to say, our class deserves to be bragged on for a bit.” He encouraged classmates to listen to what others have to say, but to not be afraid to value their own ideas. Feeling pride in one’s work, Roudebush said, is important no matter which career path a person takes, and added that doing a job well is far more telling of one’s character that simply what job a person does. That’s a main reason why the class of 2019 has been so successful, he said, because they have felt proud of their work and strived to do their best, even on seemingly unimportant tasks “If we all carry this forward into our adult lives, I think that everyone in this class is capable of attaining success in life,” Roudebush said. “So, as we, the Southwood High School Class of 2019, go out into the world, we should remember to look to others when we don’t know what to do, thank those people that have helped us out, don’t be afraid to brag on ourselves when we deserve it, and take pride in even the small things we do. Thank you, and as always, let’s go Knights.” Salutatorian Courtney Andrick began her

...continued from Page 1 remarks during Friday night’s graduation ceremony by congratulating her fellow classmates on a job well done. “We did it,” she said. “Thirteen years of work, and all that effort has paid off tonight. Never again will a Monday morning come that we have to think of enduring the curriculum Southwood throws at us.” Instead, class members’ thoughts will be taken over by college curriculums, career choices, the service they may provide to their country, or any other direction life may take them, Andrick said. “Don’t sit idle – turn your dreams into plans,” she said. “At the risk of sounding cheesy, tonight marks the end of one chapter, but the beginning of the rest of our lives. As we leave Southwood behind, we leave behind our ideas and actions that changed this school.” As a seventh grader, Andrick remembered being angry at high school students for the fact that they moved so slowly through the hallways. Later on, as she became a high schooler herself, she began to question where her 12-yearold self needed to be so quickly. “Perspective changes. As an underclassman, I remember looking up to the seniors, thinking they had everything figured out,” Andrick said. “Now, as a senior that has absolutely nothing figured out, I assume that college students have at least some semblance of their life together. I’m sure I’ll be in for a rude awakening. What I’m trying to say is that perspective changes. Whatever might make you happy now could change, even your personal best may change, and that’s OK. Never lose sight of who you are, and never let anyone else’s goals change your own.” Andrick concluded by explaining how grateful she is to be a graduate of Souhwood High School, and to have the pleasure of sitting in its classrooms. She also wished to shine a light on the parents and guardians of the graduates. “Your unwavering support provided throughout our lives pays off tonight, and will continue to push us to succeed as we move into our futures.” Andrick said. “Graduates, take the time to thank your parents. A polite ‘thank you’ should always be in the realm of your personal best. Thank you for your time, congratulations, and good luck.”

Manchester cards, do we like what we see?” Cripe continued down the business card with a description, location, and contact information. “After graduating, we choose who we keep in touch with and those we bring along on our journey,” she added. “Surround yourself with those who care, love and support you in every aspect. “Do we continue on this journey we have created for ourselves so far? Or do we edit our business card in hopes of finding who we truly wish to be? The choice is ours.” Valedictorian Anna Osborne talked about “The Wild and Precious Life.” “We’ve all heard the question, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ Back then, it was easy,” she said, listing veterinarian, police officer, and teacher as popular choices. “But as time passed, so did the excitement that came from answering that question and it turned to stress.” Osborne said it was a quote by Mary Oliver – “What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — during Jennifer Reichenbach’s English class that reminded her that it was time to figure out her life. “Despite the colorful lettering posted on the wall above her whiteboard, it made me anxious to have a reminder every single day that I need to figure my life out,” Osborne said. “It was a constant nudge that we were graduating soon and everything was about to change. But sometimes when I’m overwhelmed like that, it simply requires a change in perspective.” Class Salutatorian Spence Trick presented “What Life Has Taught Me,” is his address. “I’ll be the first one to admit that life isn’t always a dream, but it can be if you make it,” Trick said. “When I say life can be a dream, I mean that you internally frame

every situation that you come across, and when faced with a negative experience, you can choose to see the benefits that occur from it. “I have learned that every adversity brings with it the seen of an equivalent advantage.” Trick shared his experienced that he described as the worst one in his life, the death of his mother when he was 13 years old. “At the time, I was only able to see the situation in a negative light, but as I really reflected on my past with my mother, I could only remember the happiest of moments with her,” Trick said. “Every time I thought of her, it brought a smile to my face. I realized that this was the key to coping with her death. I immediately decided to use this experience to better myself in every way possible.” Throughout the ceremony the audience was entertained by the Manchester Concert Choir’s performance of “Remember Me” by Anderson-Lopez and Lopez, and a saxophone solo from Keauna Allen, “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin. A special video was presented showing photos of each graduating senior with photos from past and present. After the video, MJSHS principal Dr. Jon Lippe addressed the graduates, followed by the Acceptance of the Class by Ruth Ayres, Manchester Community Schools Board of Trustees president. MCS board members Ayres, Brice Bedke, Rick Espeset, Steve Flack, Michael Hensley and David Terflinger presented the graduates with their diplomas. Senior Class president Carsyn Howard offered concluding remarks and led the class in the turning of the tassel, signifying their completion of high school.

shoulders back and to present themselves well. “As we leave high school, we will be facing many situations in which we need to present ourselves well, whether they be job interviews, presentations or any other occasion in which you need to present yourself well,” she said. “The way you hold your body can tell someone a lot about you. So, hold your chin a little higher during that stressful presentation, breathe and roll your shoulders back to relax before that big job interview. You’ve got this.” Clendenon also encouraged them to keep going, no matter how badly something goes wrong. “When you face a mistake that you’ve made, own up to it, and get over it,” she said. “You have got to

get past your mistakes. You’re human. Pick yourself up and keep going.” She also encouraged them to fight through rough times, as they will only come out stronger in the end. “Don’t feel bad if you have to rely on others to keep you going for a while, you can’t always get through things by yourself,” she said. She also reminded them to build a team, as one can’t do everything on their own. “Being independent is great, but when doing a group dance, your own style may not necessarily matter,” Clendenon told her classmates. “So, build up your team, because without other people, your story may be incomplete. “Class of 2019, we’ve made it,” she continued. “Through (continued on page 21)

And we have the power to change it. If that isn’t nice, then what is?” Tracy noted that she has had many people in her corner, encouraging her to living up to her capabilities. “My dad, my grandparents, my teachers,” she said, “but most importantly, my mom. My mom has always been my biggest role model, and I’m not just saying that because she’s here today. My dream growing up was to be like her. I wanted to change people’s lives. I wanted to move mountains. I wanted to make her proud.” When having a bad day, Tracy said, her mother would listen to her woes and then ask, simply, “did any-

But by making the conscious decision to focus on everything that is good, we have the power to pursue our own happiness. “Thank you, mom, for pushing me endlessly and never letting me underestimate myself or my capabilities. Thank you for reminding me that although every aspect of it may not be ideal, life is nice.” Stone reminded her classmates that throughout their academic careers, the students have passed by the same people in the halls, made friends and watch each other grow over the years. “The last four years

of high school, we have gone to Friday night football games, decorated crafts with Mrs. Cooper, and embellished the hallways for homecoming,” she said. “But have you ever really thought of the impact those moments would have on you?” She took the students back 13 years when, as 5-year-olds, they held their parents hands as they made their way to their first day of school. “We were nervous and excited as we let go of their hands and walked into the classroom for the first time,” Stone said. “Little did we know, at the time we were meeting people that would mature with us over the years and become some of our best friends.” As 12-year-olds, she said, they entered middle school and were able to join sports teams, clubs and the choir, things that allowed them to

For some these bonds will last a lifetime.” In high school, she continued, the students were ready for the adventure that lie ahead. That adventure included such things as cheering in the student section at various sporting

events, stressing about finals, and having fun at Harvest Ball, dancing the night away with friends in the school gymnasium. As seniors, “all the things that had become normal to us began to come to an end,” she said. Those things ranged from painting the ticket booth and senior parking spots to watching the volleyball, cross country

and basketball teams have successful seasons, prom and more. “As this chapter of our lives come to an end and a new one is about to begin, we will continue to make new memories,” Stone said. “Whether we plan on living on campus, commuting from home, joining the workforce or entering the service, we each have our own path to travel. “Take time to meet

new people, discover who you are, or travel the world to see what lies beyond Indiana. Take a risk, make mistakes, then learn from those mistakes and grow … No matter what you decide to do, enjoy the adventure ahead of you. “These last four years have gone by in the blink of an eye, but the friends and memories we have made will last a lifetime.”

Bison statues sprout up around Wabash By The Paper staff Visit Wabash County, in partnership with the City of Wabash, is excited to announce the bison project, a public art installation plan spearheaded by intern Luke Winer, was officially completed and installed on May 13. The cement bison were a gift from the Town of North Manchester to the City of Wabash and were chosen as a salute to Indiana celebrating its “bicentennial” birthday. Brandt’s Harley-Davidson Photos provided Historically, massive herds of bison, also known as the American Buffalo, roamed Indiana until 1810 and still remain a rich part of our history. Visit Wabash County’s vision, along with that of Mayor Scott Long, was to showcase local artist’s talent by repainting the bison in bright, vibrant colors and having them installed in high vehicular traffic locations throughout the City of Wabash, expanding the public art initiative. “Paying tribute to our history and deploying Honeywell Pool (top photo) and Wabash City Park (botpublic art throughout tom photo). the city is another reason why Wabash is recognized throughout the region as a leader in community development,” Long said. “I am thrilled that this project was led by a studentintern and am grateful to the Town of North Manchester for gifting them to the city. “ Southwood High School student and Visit Wabash County Intern Luke Winer took the lead on getting the bison repainted and found locations throughout the city to display them. He also coordinated the artists and host locations and worked closely with

Winer is a senior at Southwood High School and his school and community activities include: Southwood varsity basketball for four seasons, two years of Metro Rage Soccer Club, National Honors S o c i e t y , Fellowship of C h r i s t i a n Athletes, Campus Life, Southwood’s M a r k e t i n g Wabash City Hall (top photo) and Wabash Veterinary Department, and Hospital.

THE PAPER

Sweet Alternatives I want to start out by stating that this column is not meant to be a treatise on the ills of sugar. Rather it is about exploring non-white sugar ways to sweeten your food to add better health benefits. Disclaimer aside, whether you replace a tablespoon with an alternate sweetener, reduce how much sugar you add or dare you, replace all of the sugar in a recipe with a fresh fruit (banana bread), you will soon learn that we’ve been adding way more of that white stuff than we need to. Another lesson that also comes from experimenting with your sweeteners is that less is more because reducing sweeteners opens the door for your taste buds to actually taste something besides just “sweet!” We are so blessed by God – thank you, Lord – to live in a time where natural, unrefined sweetening agents abound. I find it incredible that there is such as thing as brown rice syrup, which when partnered with chocolate makes your taste buds sing! Real maple syrup has its own unique flavors too, and I say that in plural form because no two pure maple syrups will ever taste or smell alike. Apples are a great sweetener too, and applesauce, unsweetened, makes it easy to swap out

sugar in your favorite muffin recipes, too! Honey is quite sweet. In fact, it is far sweeter than sugar so substituting it in a recipe requires that you drastically reduce the amount. There’s also agave nectar, which is extracted from the agave cactus plant and is a little sweeter than sugar; barley malt syrup from sprouted barley that is roasted and cooked down to a syrup and offers a malt-like flavor, making it great for savory recipes like barbecue sauce; brown rice syrup, which comes from rice, offers a mild flavor and tastes about half as sweet as white sugar; Stevia, which is derived from the green leaves of a perennial shrub that is thirty times sweeter than sugar and calorie-free and lastly, there is Xylitol, which is a sweetener made from corncobs that tastes similar to cane sugar. Personally, I like pure maple syrup because it’s not at all like the fake stuff in the store and it imparts its unique flavor into anything you make! Here now are a couple of daring and delicious ways for you to serve up some sweet alternatives – ENJOY!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread 3 very ripe bananas 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 1/4 cup honey 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or Gluten Free oat flour 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In the bowl of a processor or blender, add bananas, vanilla extract, honey, chocolate extract and applesauce then blend until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, mixing until well combined. Add flour to blender/processor and pulse just until dry is mixed into wet. Using a spoon, fold in chocolate chips then pour the batter into prepared pan, spreading out evenly with a spatula. Bake 35-50 minutes or until a toothpick can be removed from the center of the loaf almost clean. Cool bread in the pan for 30 minutes on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator in a container to stay fresh up to a week. Makes 16 servings. Time: Prep: 10 minutes. Bake: 3550 minutes. Total time: 45-60 minutes.

Alternative sweeteners bring a spirit of adventure to baking while also infusing more healthy ways to enjoy something sweet! Food stylist and photographer: Laura Kurella

Storms cause damage in Wabash County: Storms that hit Wabash County on the night of Memorial Day, Monday, May 27, caused some flooding issues in the LaFontaine area. The community also reported limbs down around the town, due to high winds that accompanied a tornado that hit just south of the Wabash and Grant county lines. LaFontaine Clerk-Treasurer Diana Heath told The Paper of Wabash County on June 3 that The dumpsters at the Town Utility Garage will be available until the end of the week for flood/water damaged items. In addition, Anyone with flood/water/storm damage such as furnaces or water heaters, come to the LaFontaine Town Hall to pick up a business card with a contact that can help with a possible grant to help financially.

NHS ...continued from Page 8 13 years of friendships, laughter, stress, tests and many other experiences, we finally made it to the day we’ve always looked forward to. I want to say thank you to all the faculty, family and friends that have helped me as much as the rest of my class to reach this point. I know I couldn’t have done it without such an amazing support system, so thank you. “And class of 2019, each and every one of you has the ability to do amazing things, so lift your chin and go live life to your fullest potential and change the world.” Macy, during her salutatorian address, said she planned on giving a lot of life advice during her talk, but then realized “there are plenty of grandparents in here that would be better at it than I would.” Rather, she opted to talk about how those at Northfield influenced her life. Macy noted that, as a military kid, she was used to frequent moves by her family. The move to Northfield, she said, was challenging and, what her family called, culture shock. “But these past years at NHS have only broadened my knowledge,” she said. “The biggest thing I learned was how incredibly special Northfield is. From the teachers who push us to our fullest potential every day to the janitors who keep our building clean and even assist us in our senior prank, every

adult in this school has done everything they possibly can to help us triumph. “Individually, each and every Norseman is the epitome of e x c e p t i o n a l strength.” Throughout their years at Northfield, students faced numerous adversities. “We’ve dealt with break-ups, fights and the occasional bomb threats,” Macy said. “We cried, we laughed, we grew. But the best part: We did it together, as a class – a class that feels more like family. “Northfield has changed me for the better. When I first came to this community, I was conceited and inexperienced. Now I realize that the true test of intelligence is not class rank. It’s not the scores you get on standardized exams. It’s not grades. It’s the ability of people like you to get up, day after day when life has knocked you down, and keep thriving. “I have a newfound respect for my fellow classmates, and I can only hope to someday be as smart, resilient and gifted as you all are.” NHS senior Ben Nesler also addressed the class before principal Dr. Paul Voigt presented the class to superintendent Mike Keaffaber, who shared a brief message, reminding the students to be thankful for those who have helped them in their lives along the way.

Museum presents preservation awards Officials at the Wabash County Historical Museum presented the H i s t o r i c a l Preservation Award to Dave Vandermark and Kathleen Alspaugh, and the Lagro Canal Foundation on May 15. The Historical

Preservation Award is given to both an individual and an organization who are working to preserve Wabash County. These groups and individuals are dedicated to the work of returning Wabash County to its historical glory and for their dedication to local

historic preservation. “The Museum is excited to recognize the work of individuals and organizations county-wide who are doing phenomenal things to preserve local history,” said Mitch Figert, President & CEO of the Wabash County Historical Museum.

During the presentation, Figert pointed out that historic preservation is a term many of us but may not fully understand. He then shared one definition offered by the National Parks Service which defines historic preservation as a “conversation with our past about

our future.” “The goal of the museum is to serve as a resource for these groups to provide research and support to achieve their goals,” Figert said. “In addition, we work to educate and excite all ages about the importance of our local history and the

They are also working on neighboring buildings, creating a lot of momentum to the Canal Street area. “We are honored to receive this award and wish to thank the Wabash County Historical Museum for recognizing our effort. We intend to continue our restora-

tion projects in order to restore the buildings on Canal Street to their original 19th century character,” said Alspaugh. The Lagro Canal Foundation works to promote revitalization of the Lagro community through education, historic preservation, beautifying public spaces, and marketing natural amenities. “The Lagro Canal Foundation would like to thank the Wabash County Historical Museum and its Board for recognizing us for our dedication to local historic preservation. We are humbled and ecstatic with being the recipient of this award. In addition, we sincerely appreciate the fact that our efforts are being noticed,” said Beth Gillespie, board member of the Lagro Canal Foundation. The Wabash County Historical Museum is excited to be able to recognize groups in the community who are dedicated to historic preservation.

Sweet, Davis compete at state

Apax fall at baseball regional

By The Paper staff

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com WALTON – Wabash’s baseball team picked an inopportune time to put forth one of its worst performances of an otherwise stellar season at Saturday’s Class 2A Cass Regional opener against Wapahani. The No. 10-ranked Apaches managed just one hit at the plate and committed seven errors in the field in a 6-0 loss to the Raiders to end the season. “Their pitcher kept us off stride and did a really good job,” Wabash coach Jack Holley said. “He was pretty efficient. … We only had one hit and three baserunners. It’s tough to win a game that way. And, then to come and boot the ball around the field is another thing. That’s not typically what we do. One or two things happen and then it escalated out of control. We have great kids and they’re going to battle back.” Wabash’s lone hit came on a Trenton Daughtry single back up the middle with two outs in the bottom of the third inning. But he was left stranded after a pop out to the shortstop. Wapahani broke up a scoreless tie with three runs in the top of the third. The Apaches committed three errors alone in that frame. Wapahani pitcher Brevan Rivers was lights out in the win. He allowed just one hit and one walk, striking out 11 in a shutout effort to lead the No. 9-ranked Raiders to the victory. “He threw strikes and he didn’t walk guys,”

Wabash’s Payton Sodervick squares around to drop down a bunt during the Apaches’ Class 2A baseball regional game against Wapahani Saturday at Lewis Cass High School. The Apaches fell 60 to end the season. Photo by Josh Sigler Holley said. “He had a decent fastball, and he came in and hit his corners really, really well. Behind him, they made the plays, and that makes for a good combination. When you keep people guessing at the plate in high school, you can be really successful, and that’s what he did. We were guessing what he was going to throw. We didn’t guess right a lot. We’re going to have to get better at that.” Wapahani (23-9) added two runs in the fifth and an insurance run in the seventh to put the Apaches away. Daughtry also drew the start on the hill, and put forth a solid effort. Of the six runs allowed, only two runs given up by the Apache junior were earned. He allowed nine hits and struck out four while walking one. “I think he threw really, really well,” Holley said. “I’m sure some people are going to question why I didn’t throw Joey (Leland), but honestly in this game – I don’t think Trenton had a walk, and we had seven errors. The first three or four runs were unearned, then you think about a dropped ball at second on a steal that would have gotten us out of the inning and they

wouldn’t have scored any runs there. “But, at the end of the day you still have to get on base and score runs, and we didn’t do that. So, the run support wasn’t there and everybody kind of got down. Trenton came out and threw lights out. If you take away those seven errors, he would’ve thrown those seven innings in 75 pitches.” Wabash finishes the season with an 18-7 record, and the future looks bright for the squad. The Apaches only lose two seniors to graduation in Robert Irgang and Blake Gribben. “We’re going to miss their leadership and their heart, their work ethic,” Holley said. “School would be out and Robert would already be dressed ready to go down and take batting practice before games. Gribben didn’t come out when he was a freshman. He came out as a sophomore and committed to the program and committed to being the best baseball player he could. I hope the younger kids watched how they approached the game, with how much class and effort and love for the game they brought. They’re going to be missed.”

BLOOMINGTON – Two Wabash County athletes competed in the IHSAA State Track and Field Finals at Indiana University’s Robert C. Haugh Complex Friday. Southwood sophomore Braden Sweet completed his season by competing in the 1,600-meter run. Sweet ran his secondbest time of the year in the race, finishing 12th out of 26 runners in a time of 4:19.58. Manchester senior Isaiah Davis competed in two events. Davis finished 11th in the high jump out of 27 competitors, clearing 6 foot, 6 inches. Davis also had a productive day in the long jump, where he placed 13th out of 26 competitors, clearing 21-11.

Apax top Squires for sectional crown By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash baseball team celebrated its first sectional title since 2003 on Memorial Day, topping Manchester 4-0 at Chris Rood Field. The Class 2A No. 10-ranked Apaches broke open scoreless game by scoring all four of their runs in the fourth inning. James Booth, Kallen Kelsheimer and Bryant Boggs each had two hits and an RBI in the win. Trenton Daughtry added two hits, while Blake Gribben and Robert Irgang each added a hit. Daughtry drew the start on the hill and was stellar. He pitched a shutout, allowing just four hits while walking two and striking out two. The Apaches defeated No. 5-ranked Lewis Cass in the semifinal, 6-2, on May 25 to advance

to the sectional championship round. Joe Leland pitched a complete game to pick up the win for Wabash on the hill. Jasper Walter and Robert Irgang led the offense with two hits apiece. The Apaches advanced to the Cass Regional, where they took on Wapahani in the opening round. Norse top Knights Northfield’s baseball team picked up a 10-6 victory over rival Southwood in the semifinal round of the Class A Caston Sectional on May 25. Southwood scored four runs in the second inning to take a 5-1 lead, but Northfield rallied for seven runs in the fifth to take control of the contest. Braden Ripplinger led the Norse offense with four hits and two RBIs, while Jarrett Shafer

added two hits and an RBI. Levi Fulkerson and Michael Fisher both added a hit and two RBIs in the win. Nate Drancik picked up the win on the hill for the Norse, pitching 6 2/3 innings, allowing six runs, only one earned, on three hits and four walks. He struck out nine. Gabe Lloyd belted a three-run home run for the Knights. Logan Barley and Tristin Hayslett both added doubles in the loss. Pitchers Carson Rich, Hayslett and Barley combined to allow 10 runs, nine earned, over six innings. They combined to walk seven and strike out five. Northfield advanced to the sectional championship round, where it fell to North Miami, 1-0.

The Manchester boys golf team finished second in the Wabash Invitational at Honeywell G.C. on May 25. Logansport won the event with a team score of 319, while Manchester shot a 330. It took four playoff holes to determine the medalist. Manchester’s Harley Kruschwitz and Owen Kruschwitz both shot one-over 72s in their round for the lowest scores, but Harley won the playoff. The host Apaches finished fourth with a 364. Asif Khan led Wabash with a 78, while Blayze Shemwell added an 83. Andrew Dinkins shot a 96, Wyatt Davis shot a 112, and Brodie Howard shot a 107 to round out the Apaches’ scorecard. Southwood finished fifth in the tournament with a 369. Carson Heath finished third overall for the Knights with a 77, followed by Logan Arnold’s 93, Ket Baldwin’s 96, and Baron Hedrick’s 103.

Urbana Lions work on ball field Urbana Lions Club has been working very diligently to get the Lion’s Ball Park ready for this summer’s activities. Painting the dugouts and working on the ball field. They also have plans to do some work on the Snack Shack. Keeping up with the grass has turned out to be quite a task with all the rain. Trying to mow between rain drops doesn’t seem to work very well. Lion Ronnie Anderson is the groundskeeper and he can tell you that it hasn’t been easy. The ball park has held a couple of big league softball games and practice sessions, all in the mud. If it would ever quit raining, the Lions just like the farmers, could get to planting and get more work done at the Lions Ball Park. Breakfast Bunch Met on May 29.

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “It has been said that integrity is choosing your thoughts and actions based on values rather than personal gain. This can be a tough concept for young individuals, well for anyone of any age. We tend to look after our own self interests as human nature has its way. But, I don’t know of any better sport than tennis to build integrity in a young individual. You are responsible for calling your opponents shot in or out. There can be a great temptation to win by any means, but when that happens, it is the finish of the sport and integrity.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

LaFontaine Learning Center plans open house By David Brinson news@thepaperofwabash.com Amber Myers tests the hearing of a Bickford staff member. Photo by David Brinson

Bickford Cottage hosts screening By David Brinson news@thepaperofwabash.com

Bickford Cottage, an assisted senior living home, provided a balance and hearing clinic at their location in Wabash. “This is open to the public,” Michelle Hutchinson, Bickford Cottage’s director, said. “We can do this for anybody. Our residents will participate, the staff will probably participate and, if anyone from the community comes in, we’d like them to be screened as well.” Taking place Thursday afternoon, May 23, the event lasted two hours. It was composed of two dif-

ferent sections: an auditory clinic ran by Amber Myers from Kokomo-based Whisper Hearing Centers and a balance screening ran by Angels of Mercy’s Donna Roush. It was often stressed that this day was only for screenings; those who failed or struggled with the tests need to seek more comprehensive medical consultation independently. “It is important for people to understand so that if they have an elderly parent or grandparent, they can also make sure they are also being treated and kept safe in the home, to prevent possible falls,” Hutchinson said.

At the balance screening, Roush was watching the patients from the moment they started walking up. She is determining just how steady and agile the person is, before they even step on her little blue mat. “I have them stand barefoot, cross their arms, and then they have to close their eyes, which takes away the line of vision,” Roush said. “It’s looking for all those senses, seeing how they work together, or if they’re not working together.” “Falls are one of the main causes of broken bones and losing their independence. Falls can be lifechanging for everyone involved. Our goal is

to keep people in their own homes for as long as possible.” Across the hall, Myers had patients put on the specially designed headphones as she played sounds at different frequencies. Myers would then determine a passing or failing grade, based on how responsive or aware the person was. “This is important, because usually your hearing will gradually change on you, and you don’t realize how much you’re missing,” Myers said. “It’s important to have information.” “Hearing tests are just information. It shouldn’t be a scary thing.”

LAFONTAINE — When Evan Bowman purchased the vacant, forgotten LaFontaine Elementary, people kept asking him the same question: What are you going to do with it? After the school was shut down completely in 2014, Bowman bought the site in 2016, though he wasn’t sure what he would use it for yet. For a while, it was a makeshift community center. People had open houses. Nerf Wars. Baby showers. Birthday parties. But with time, Bowman began to see the building for what it could be, what it used to be: a place for kids to grow and learn. “I love learning,” he said. “Our big picture is just wanting the building to benefit the community and, however that evolves, we’re excited to go on that ride.” With the help of his cousin, Laura Langebartels, they are reimagining and renovating the elementary by turning it into a day care/learning center titled the “LaFontaine Learning Community.” Langebartels, after moving back from Indianapolis to raise her family, found convenient, high quality child care hard to come by. As a mother who knows how it feels to be in the drop-off lane, providing flexibility and convenience for parents was her top priority. Unlike most daycares, she wants to work around the parents’ schedules. Not the other way around. “When I was walking through the building for the first time, it was so evident that there was still so much good here. Everything was in such good shape,” she said. “I’m a bit of a dreamer, kind of like Evan. I see so much potential with every square foot of this building.” Both Bowman and Langebartels reminisced on their time as little Falcons back when they attended the elementary themselves in the 1990s. She tells a story of busting her front baby teeth while trying to stand atop the monkey bars. Bowman recalls his embarrassment in second grade for having to go to speech class because he was struggling with pronouncing his L’s and R’s. “All over the building you walk into a room, you remember this is where that happened, this is where I was embarrassed in front of that girl. That’s the receptacle my friend used to poke his finger in.” Bowman stops to look around at the gymnasium. This is his school

now. “As we stepped into this space, we really wanted to see memories still be made. I’d love for my grandkids to be here someday, making memories in these same hallways. I want that for the community.” Since neither of them had a background in child care, they began researching, along with attending training seminars. Eventually, they decided to become a nonprofit registered ministry, since this provided them more freedom, the ability to teach the word of God and lower prices for the public. As they prepare to open their doors this August, there is a checklist of things they need to do on a classroom-style dry erase board. One by one, they are crossing them off. When they open, they will have before/after school care for students (kindergarten to sixth grade) along with year-round child care for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Langebartels will be heading the toddler group, which she describes as a “pre-preschool.” Their child care director, Michelle Adams, will be leading the preschoolers, where she will begin developing their skills in subjects like reading, science and art. Twenty-one students are already signed up for the LaFontaine Learning Community. Those interested in enrolling can find more details and prices at their website, www.theelementary.org. There will be an open house Saturday, May 8, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., so families can see the renovations and meet the staff. Several times, Bowman referred the opening as “Phase One.” Once they are through their current checklist, he hopes to start writing down and crossing out words like “playground” and “Spanish classes.” He has many ideas for what it could be. He sees a one stop-shop for families. He sees a spot where students of all ages can hang out at after school and do their homework while they wait for their parents to pick them up. He sees a whole new generation of memories. Outside, on the brick marquee, there is still “Liberty Township School: engraved in the faded stone, from back before it was even known as LaFontaine Elementary. Underneath those words, making sure not to cover up their history, the LaFontaine Learning Community’s new sign hangs brightly. The old and the new. The past and the present. Plus, a little open space for whatever the future holds.

Local students honored for Symphony in Color program The Wabash Unit of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Association honored 43 area students, representing six schools and a group of homeschooled children, for their participation in the Symphony in Color program this year. Their works of art were sent to Indianapolis where they were judged, competing with art from schools statewide. The students were honored with award ribbons, certificates and an art supply gift bag at a reception for parents and family, school principals and administrators on Tuesday, May 21 at 1 p.m. in Legacy Hall at Honeywell Center. The reception was presented with partial sponsorship provided by the H o n e y w e l l Foundation. The students’ art was on display and photos were taken of students with their art teachers. Symphony in Color is an enrichment program in which children in grades one through six listen to classical music selections and then draw a visual interpretation of the music to illus-

trate what the music meant or suggested to them. This year’s five selected compositions were Richard Strauss’ “Also Sprach Z a r a t h u s t r a : Fanfare;” Gustav Holst’s “The Planets: Jupiter;” James Beckel’s “From Earth to the Moon and Beyond;” Felix Mendelssohnn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Scherzo;” and John Williams’ “Star Wars: Main Title.” After hearing the selections, each student chose one musical example to inspire his/her art interpretation. Students from Manchester, Metro North, St. Bernard, Sharp Creek, and Southwood elementary schools, Wabash Middle School and Wabash area homeschooled students prepared their art projects for their teachers. Following specific criteria, the teachers then chose a maximum of six or seven entries from their school to be sent to Indianapolis for the competition. Entries were judged on the qualities of musical interpretation, ageappropriate artwork, color or shading, balance, and overall appeal. This year more

than 23,000 students from 16 counties and 50 schools participated in this statewide program that is designed to develop an appreciation of both music and the visual arts. From the school entries submitted to Indianapolis for judging, 100 finalists were chosen. Nineteen students were honored at the local reception as being part of this select group. Eight students were awarded gold ribbons for highest recognition at the state level. They were Maguire Dyson and Elaina Harrington – grade 1 from Metro North; Laney Haupert – grade 4 and Deziree Garrett – grade 6 from Sharp Creek; Mackenzie Brown – grade 5 and Ella Hartley – grade 6 from Wabash Middle School, Hannah Williams – grade 2 and Hope Troyer – grade 3 from Wabash area home school. Other finalists were Gemma Haupert – grade 2, Samantha Bolin – grade 3 from Metro North; Tyler Haupert and Anne Parker – both grade 5 from Sharp Creek; Miranda Heister – grade 1, Braylon Bassett – grade 2,

It was crucial that I learned how to manage my time.” Parker admits that time management has not always been one of his top skills, but as he grew in 4-H, he began to get better at it: “At the beginning of my 4-H career, I was horrible at managing time. I’ve come a long way with managing my time, and I owe it all to 4-H.” Aside from his projects, one of Parker’s favorite 4-H memories is spending time with family and friends.

Seth Teague School: Southwood Parents: Tyanna Haines & Troy Teague Future Plans: Working in the body shop at Wabash Valley Chrysler 4-H Club: Future Farmers Favorite 4-H Projects: Horse and Pony, Models, and Swine 4-H Grows Time Management: Proper time management was a vital skill Seth developed through his participation in Wabash County 4-H. “You have to take your time with a project because if you rush it, it will not turn out well and will look bad,” Seth explains. Seth highlights the importance of giving each 4H project the time and attention it deserves. “You need to take time to get an animal ready by training and practicing. If you put time and effort into a project, it shows you care about it and want it to be the best.” One of Seth’s favorite experiences from his ten years in 4-H is participating in the Horse and Pony Club. “Every fall we would go to the horse trails in the state parks and ride all weekend,” Seth remembers. “It was always a lot of fun and everyone had a blast. It was fun socializing with friends and being out in the woods.”

Jirni Cripe School: Manchester Parents: Phil & Joni Cripe Future Plans: Attend Purdue University to major in Business with a minor in Horticulture 4-H Club: Poultry Club Favorite 4-H Projects: Floriculture, Foods, Gift Wrapping, Health, Personality, and Poultry 4-H Grows Leadership: One of Jirni’s favorite memories in 4-H is representing Wabash County as the 2018 Fair Queen, which also helped develop her leadership skills: “The queen pageant not only helped my speaking skills, but also put me in a role to give young 4H’ers a positive example to look up to. From spending time with little girls who felt special to be near ‘royalty’ or passing out ribbons to welldeserving 4-H’ers, I loved the role of leadership 4-H gave me,” says Jirni. Jirni explains that her passion for 4H began at a young age. “Starting as a third-grader, I engaged myself in as many different projects as possible. As I have grown, 4-H has become what I look forward to every summer because of the bonds I have built with other 4-H’ers and the ability to compete in things I’m completely passionate about.”

Renovations nearly done at Crystal Gayle Theater Wabash County Historical Museum officials are nearing the end of renovations to the Crystal Gayle Theater that is located inside the museum. A majority of the renovations were finished last month, i n c l u d i n g technological and many cosmetic updates. One of the most prominent new pieces of technology is the Short Throw LED Projector, which was provided by Shayne Balding of Skyline Business Technology, a Wabash based IT firm. “The Museum presents Skyline Business Technology with many unique projects to work on, such as the Crystal Gayle Theater. We are very excited to be able

to partner with such a great place in the community to help showcase the powerful history of Wabash County,” said Balding. In addition to the new projector, a larger 120 inch screen was installed, along with multiple inputs, enhanced automation controls and improvements to the lighting. Educators and presenters will now be able to wirelessly connect to the projector to present materials to guests of all ages. The new and improved Crystal Gayle Theater is now more interactive so that it can better engage viewers. It now functions as more of a classroom and not just a theater. This space is convenient for a wide

range of activities, including field trips, parties, rentals, and hosting events. The Crystal Gayle Theater was recently the site of the Historical Preservation Award Ceremony. The Wabash County Historical Museum is also looking to update the orientation film, “A Journey Through Time,” which is currently the movie that plays in the theater. This movie has been playing for the past 15 years, and the museum is anticipating a new showing. In addition, the theater can play a variety of other short movies on demand. “As we continue to see our guest count increase and diversify, this new space will allow the Museum the

flexibility to use the Crystal Gayle Theater to support our education and c o m m u n i t y engagement goals while still being able to show a variety of movies for guests to

enjoy,” said Mitch Figert, President and CEO of the Wabash County Historical Museum. Thanks in part to a generous gift from Crystal Gayle, the Theater’s namesake,

these much needed improvements have been made possible. The Wabash County Historical Museum is excited to open the new Crystal Gayle Theater to the community. For more

Lagro water named best in region By The Paper staff Officials at the Alliance of Indiana Rural Water have found the best-tasting water in the third of four regional competitions taking place throughout the state Indiana. On May 23, during one of the Alliance of Indiana Rural Water’s Operator Expo in Akron, the winner of the regional competition with the tastiest

places to shop, other indoor/outdoor playscapes, the North Manchester Covered Bridge, upcoming festivals and events, and more. Other installations include an informational display at the Glenn Ruppel Sports Complex, and an interactive touch kiosk at Manchester University.

water was from Lagro Municipal Water Utility. Participating water samples were judged on three categories – clarity, odor, and taste. Lagro’s water will advance to the state competition – “The Best Tasting Water in Indiana” at the Alliance of Indiana Rural Water’s Fall Conference in Fort Wayne in October. They will compete against the winners from three other

regions of the state. Their water sample was chosen by judges as the most appealing. “Because of the quality of this water, they have a good chance at the ‘Best Tasting Water in Indiana’ competition,” added Alliance of Indiana Rural Water Executive Director, Connie Stevens. The competition is part of the “Quality On Tap!” campaign to emphasize the high quality, standards

and, consequently, taste of rural water. The winners of the “Best Tasting Water in Indiana” will advance to compete in “The Great American Water Taste Test,” a national contest, at Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. in early February 2020. This event is part of the Rural Water Rally, an annual legislative event for the 49 state affiliates of National Rural Water Association.
