Parkview Wabash gets MAT grant By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A Medication Assisted Treatment clinic program will open at Parkview Wabash Hospital sometime in 2020. The clinic is made possible thanks to a nearly $725,000 grant from the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration. That will allow Parkview Behavioral Health to expand opioid treatment programs not only in Wabash, but in Huntington and Whitley counties as well. Parkview’s MAT program began in
2018, thanks in part of a $1.5 million grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The goal is to establish an integrated system of MAT clinics, consisting of an urban hub and rural spokes located strategically throughout northeast Indiana to combat abuse disorders,
including opioid abuse disorder. The program also is designed to create collaboration with the court system, jails and community providers. “We are thrilled that Parkview Wabash Hospital will be able to begin (continued on page 6)
Banners honor local heroes By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com More than 125 Hometown Heroes were honored last week with their pictures displayed on banners hung from lamp posts around downtown Wabash. The project, a joint venture between the City of Wabash and Visit Wabash County, honors servicemen and servicewomen, firefighters and police officers. It comes from an idea broached to the city by Christine Flohr, Director of Tourism for Visit Wabash County. “I had gone to the mayor, wanting to do a creative banner campaign and he said he had always wanted to have banners hang that honored our hometown heroes,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “So I told him I would handle it.” Long, in a Facebook post, said Flohr “came to me with an idea for banners to hang on our light posts, to promote Wabash, arts, and other qualities. I liked the idea, but I have always had the idea of doing Hometown Hero banners to celebrate the true heroes from Wabash, the military veteran, active duty military, fire and police, both active and retired, who are the epitome of freedom and justice in our community. “So, I asked Christine if we could use my idea for our first series of banners, and she said she would handle it. Handle it she did. She and her team at Visit Wabash County with the help of other community teammates hit it out of the park for me.” There are 160 decorative lamp posts on Wabash, Miami, Market and Canal streets. On those, 134 Hometown Hero banners will hang for two years. The banners are hung alphabetically by last name starting at the new archway on Wabash St. and follow the natural flow of vehicular traffic to make them easier to locate. (continued on page 6)

Second-hand shopping thrives in Wabash By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Shopping second hand has become a major trend in recent years due to vintage hunters and resellers storm-
ing local thrift stores. The benefits of shopping second hand do not end with cool finds or being able to flip items online for profit. Thrifting helps to stall the fast fashion industries, which has positive impacts socially, envi-
ronmentally, and economically. “Fast Fashion” is the concept of clothes being provided quickly and as cheaply as possible to consumers. Economically, for example, (continued on page 11)

MSD principals shared their school improvement plans at the MSD school board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 28. All improvement plans had an overall focus on professional development and increased student satisfaction through aca-
demics, activities and extracurriculars. S o u t h w o o d Elementary principal Phil Boone shared that there were 30 instances over this summer that teachers and staff took advantage of professional development opportunities. “We are very proud of our lifelong learning modeling from our teachers,” Boone said. S o u t h w o o d Elementary is also making it a priority this year to focus on the social and emotional learning aspect for students. “[Our student’s]
minds are deep in formation in those formative years,” Boone said. Boone also shared about the robotics team and STEM program that is being implemented. “We have 24 students in robotics, and we had 37 students try out. Three years ago, we were looking for kids to come, and this year, we unfortunately had to turn some kids away, but that has grown a lot in the last couple of years,” Boone said. Metro North Elementary principal Janette Moore shared next.
She started with a focus on the plan for the school to continue to give back financially to the community. Last year, the school gave back over $8,200. “A huge chunk of that went to Friendship Hill, another large chunk went to help one of our students with the purchase of his wheelchair, and just to Riley Hospital, we give to them every year,” said Moore. Moore also shared, that like Southwood Elementary, they have also had many teachers participate in summer professional development, specifi-
cally training to meet their Apple Teacher requirements to be able to better utilize technology in the classroom. Metro North also plans to continue its robotics teams, made up strictly of third graders. “Every year we start from scratch,” said Moore. “It’s exciting to watch those 8 and 9year-olds take on that challenge and be competitive with kids that are three and four years older than them, and have been doing robotics for several years, so that’s always exciting.” Other key points to Metro North’s improvement plan included continuing the Bachelor Creek mentor program, and a focus on social opportunities and incentives for kids to encourage them to try their best with academics. Sharp Creek elementary was up next sharing their improvement plan. Principal Jay Snyder shared that what he is most focused on is the SRO’s being in the school. “As we talk about school improvement, school safety is a big part of it,” Snyder said. “I’ve already students be comfortable enough to go up and tell the SRO something that we needed to talk to them about.

Roann festival to begin on Thursday By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com The Roann Covered Bridge Festival will be taking place Thursday, Sept. 5 through Sunday, Sept. 8. Activities will take place from 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Thursday, 5 p.m.—11 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m.–11 p.m. Saturday, and noon–4 p.m. Sunday, which a community church service at 10:30 a.m.. The theme for this year’s festival is “Rollin on the River,” Donna Harman, coordinator of the festival told The Paper of Wabashg County. “We are sure hoping for better weather than last year when it rained out most events,” said Harman. “We are thankful to have our community
building as a backup for the bands to perform there. We had a full house in there last year for The Sounds of Summer group concert.” Harman deemed the band as the best band they have ever had. This year’s bands are sure to entertain as well. There will be many local bands as well as Bigg Country, a band from Martinsville, who performed at the festival three years back. Free family entertainment has had crowds flocking to the annual Labor Day weekend festival for years including an antique tractor pull, parade, pedal tractor pull, mud volleyball, live entertainment, vendors, and much more. “We will not have carnival rides this

year but have many activities for the children, including a bounce house with a slide for children 12 years and younger, pony rides, a petting zoo and carnival games. This is all free to the children. Our committee will have some family games too.” Harman said. “The Stockdale Mill tours is always a favorite,” Harman added. Tours start at 10 a.m. until the parade starts at 2 p.m. on Saturday, and then start back up after the parade until dusk. Tours are also available from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. “Unfortunately, the Trolley 85 has mechanical problems and will not be taking people to the mill. We are working on an alternate people
hauler but not sure we can get one by festival time,” said Harman. After the parade, ice cream sandwiches will be handed out in memory of J.P. Schuler. Houlihan’s Mower Sales & Ag Green will be giving away free watermelon, pop and water after the parade, as well. “A new event we are excited about this year is an adult pedal tractor pull with the Michigan Pedal Pullers. They are bringing adult size pedal tractors,” said Harman. Participants must be 18 years or older and there will be a cash prize given for first place and a festival T-shirt for second place.

Another part of the plan includes a goal to meet up with students from a school in
Indianapolis that have been pen pals with students from Sharp Creek. They plan to meet up at Friendship Hill inclusive park in the fall. (continued on page 4)

MSD Sharp Creek students will also get opportunities this year to visit colleges, universities, and career centers as a way to encourage them to think about post high school graduation plans early. High School principals shared their improvement plans next. Northfield High School Principal, Dr. Paul Voigt shared about the Notre Dame AP program that they
September 4, 2019
...continued from Page 3 are participating in, that benefits students as well as teachers by providing free professional development over the summers and during the school year. Voigt also informed the board about new programs that Northfield is implementing such as an anti-bullying initiative, Sources of Spring, and a program called Study Island that has time built in for it during
every school day. Also, in Voigt’s plan was a goal to continue helping students with career awareness and development. Northfield High School will also be starting a robotics team. Voigt said that the two main aspects he wants to focus on improving this year are academics and the school environment. Lastly, Southwood High School principal Andrew McDaniel was up to share his plan and goals for the 2019-20 school year. McDaniel started off sharing statistics of students who are utilizing Heartland Career Center. “Forty-seven percent of our seniors, 38 percent of our juniors and 18 percent of our sophomores are attending Heartland. An additional 33 percent of our seniors are in our work-based learning program.” McDaniel said.
Y to begin Social Sports Club By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Social Sports Club will begin later this month at the Wabash County YMCA. The idea behind the program is to take games many played in their backyard as youngsters and put completely new spins on them. “This was an idea that, since I’ve moved into town, I’ve been looking for ways to fill a need in the community,” CEO Dean Gogolewski told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s a population the Y really was community.” The existing adult sports leagues, he said, were getting a bit too competitive. “We needed to change that,” Gogolewski continued. “So, in order to change the culture, we needed to change the whole scope of the adult sports landscape.” The new program also will help to engage some of the community’s young professionals and other working individuals in the community. “It’s also a fun way to build relationships, build lifelong relationships, and get into healthier activities,” he said. The social sports club idea is something taking place nationwide, Gogolewski said, but is new to Wabash. “The social sports club is not professional; it’s not even amateur,” he said. “It’s an extension of backyard sports.
You get together with your friends and you play and you laugh, you cheer good plays, you laugh with each other at bad plays. It’s not as strict as a straight up league.” Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County, said one portion of the club’s policy best sums it up. “Win or lose,” he said, reading one of the goals, “we all can relax afterward, hang out with friends and still make it to work in the morning.” Bill Barrows, Director of the Morrett Sports Complex, said that is exactly one of the problems the existing program has. “And I was one of them,” he said. “I couldn’t go to work the next day, or had trouble doing so.” The sports club is just a way for people to get together and bond over sports, Gogolewski said. “And as we see in society, sports transcend so much,” he said. “It’s really a metaphor for life, in most aspects. This is our fun way of bringing it to the Wabash Community and get people engaged in different sports that they might like.” Two sports – flag football and blitzball – are set to begin next week. Flag football play will begin Sept. 10 at the Field of Dreams, while blitzball – a take on wiffle ball, will begin Sept. 11 in the YMCA gym. Three-on-three basketball, wallyball and spikeball also are planned in future.
Seasons are expected to last about two months, with leagues planned for fall, and early and late winter. “One of the things that occurs to me,” Barrows said, “in laying these things out … a lot of these games are backyard games that we invented when we were kids, and someone has taken them to the nth degree. “Blitzball is a variation of wiffle ball with a little more challenge to it. Spikeball has a lot more challenge to it. Wallyball is basically volleyball using walls as dimensions. It will be done on the racquetball court. “There’s just a number of different things that are basically backyard games that we would have thought up, or that we did think up, when we were kids.” Signup is underway for the various leagues and can be done at wcssc.org. Non-YMCA members will have to fill out a waiver form. Teams can register, or “free agents,” can also register and be placed on a team by Y officials. Registration fees vary from sport to sport, and also for Y members and non-members. Gillenwater said a program such as this will be especially beneficial for millennials as well as those moving to Wabash. It will allow them to get together and build new friendships, as well as work in exercise.

Former Miami County sheriff seeks Indiana senate position By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A former Miami County sheriff is seeking the Indiana Senate seat formerly filled by Randy Head. Tim Miller announced his plans to seek the District 18 seat “after prayerful consideration and discussion with my family, friends and some community leaders.” Head, who was first elected to the Indiana Senate in 2008, resigned effective Aug. 12 to become Pulaski County’s chief deputy prosecutor. “Currently, the senate does not have a former sheriff on the team,” Miller said. “With some of today’s pressing issues, such as school safety and funding, mass shootings, gun control, jail overcrowding and many more, I believe my experience in law enforcement, leadership positions, business and administration would be beneficial to representing our communities. “I also have strong family values, am pro-life and support the Second Amendment.” A Carroll County native, Miller has spent his adult life serving the community in various ways. He has served as a security police specialist in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, part-time deputy marshal in Burlington, and was an Indiana State Police officer serving Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Tipton and Wabash counties for more than 25 years. He also served two terms as Miami County sheriff. He is now employed part-time as a court security officer at the Federal Building in Lafayette. In addition to his law enforcement career, he has served five years on the Maconaquah School Board, including a term as board vice president. He also was assistant store manager at a large retail store and owned and operated a
small business for more than 16 years. He has served on the Crime Stoppers Board, has coached various boys and girls basketball programs, is a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 656, the Indiana School Board Association, National Rifle Association, Indiana State Police Alliance, Indiana State Police Pioneers, and is a lifetime member of the Indiana Sheriff ’s Association, among others. Miller also has served on the Miami County Advisory Boards, Central Dispatch, Emergency Management Agency, Community Corrections, of which he was vice chair, Emergency Medical Services, the Miami Correction Facility Community and the Salvation Army. He and his wife, Mary, have been married for more than 39 years and have 2 adult children and four grandchildren. “I have been blessed to have had these opportunities to serve our communities,” Miller said. “If elected I look forward to the opportunity to serve all of District 18 as their state senate representative with a servant’s heart, integrity, professionalism and service to the communities.” Republican precinct committee members from the district – which consists of Cass, Marshall, Miami, Fulton, Carroll and Kosciusko counties – will select a replacement to fill Head’s seat until it expires in 2020.

Hometown Heroes The remaining 26 lampposts will have seasonal banners, such as Christmas decorations. “The mayor and I did not want to take down any heroes when it was time to hang the Christmas decor that is owned by W a b a s h
Marketplace,” Flohr explained. The project was such a success, that unfortunately, she said, several banner requests had to be turned down because of lack of space. “The cost of each banner nearly covered the production
costs,” Flohr said. “Visit Wabash County covered the difference. The banners will go home with the purchaser at the end of the campaign.” The banners were designed by Eric Schoening of V w e r i x L Communications, who spent hours digitizing, enlarging and laying out each ban-

“I am more surprised by how emotional the reactions are to the banners, including myself,” Flohr said. “The number of people who continue to tear up when they talk about seeing the banners is humbling. That goes for those who have a hero on display and for those who are just in awe of the heroes themselves.”
Parkview grant p r o v i d i n g Substance Use services to the residents of Wabash County and beyond,” Parkview Wabash President Marilyn CusterMitchell told The Paper of Wabash County. “We know there is a need in our region and are working on several initiatives, including the establishment of this clinic to address that need. Medication Assisted Treatment is an evidenced based treatment that shows great success and we look forward to partnering with all the agencies and organizations already work-
ing on combating this disease.” The goal, she said, is to have the clinic up and running by mid 2020. Some changes have to be made at the facility to free up space, she said, noting that will take some time. MAT Clinics are one of the goals created by the Wabash County Drug Steering Committee. MedicationAssisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treat-

Expanding our MAT clinic program allows us to reach more people impacted by the opioid epidemic,” Connie Kerrigan, director of community outreach, Parkview Behavioral Health, said in a news release. “The clinical and social services community in northeast Indiana is united in its focus to provide additional drug prevention and treatment programs, including MAT. We look forward to working with our partners in each county to help rural residents overcome addiction.” Parkview is one of 12 nationwide grantees that received Rural Communities Opioid Response Program awards from HRSA to establish and/or expand MAT clinics in 2019.
“Health centers and behavioral health providers are on the front lines of the fight against the opioid crisis and substance abuse, especially in rural communities,” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar. “With our evidence-based strategy, HHS is working to support local communities in fighting back against substance abuse, and our united efforts are yielding results. Together, we can end our country’s opioid crisis and lay a foundation for a healthier country where every American can access the mental healthcare they need.” Earlier in 2019, Parkview Health was also part of a ninecounty interdisciplinary team that received a grant of $1.4 million from the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) to fund the Opioid Mobile Response Team, which connects residents to medical and social services for treatment and recovery.

Hometown Heroes our community.” Jean (Snyder) Whitmer purchased two banners, one for her father, John W. Snyder, and the other for her father-in-law, Hank Whitmer. “When I saw that Wabash was offering this beautiful tribute to our veterans, I jumped at the opportunity to honor my dad and father-inlaw,” she said. “I feel this is one of the most thoughtful and thought out tributes our beautiful city could possibly do for our veterans.” John W. Snyder served in the U.S. Army during World War II, earning the rank of TEC 5 when he was discharged on
Dec. 16, 1946. He drove trucks for the Army, at times transporting prisoners of war. “When he was on the ship headed toward Japan, they got word that Japan surrendered,” she said. “So his story to his kids was when the Japs heard Snyder was coming, they surrendered.” His unit was ordered to the Philippines where he finished his time overseas. Hank Whitmer served in both the U.S. Army and the Reserves from 19561964, and was stationed at various locations around the United States. Raymond Steele, 89,

is another serviceman honored on the Hometown Heroes banner. He was drafted less than one year after graduating from Roann High School, his grandson, Josh said, noting that his grandfather was employed at General Tire at the time. After being drafted in April 1951, Raymond Steele went through basic training at Fort Hood, Texas, in the U.S. Army 1st Armored Division. He then
went to Fort Benning, Ga., for three months in Heavy Weapons Leadership School, then was sent back to Fort Hood before spending his last nine months in the service in Olsberg, Germany. He was discharged in March 1953 and remained in the Reserves for the next five years. “His family is proud of him for his service to his country and wanted those in the community to be proud as well by being in uniform and pic-
tured on a banner as a Hometown Hero,” Josh Steele said. As for his grandfather’s reaction, he said Raymond called the banner “the best recognition he had received upon being discharged from the U.S. Army. Harold Behny’s portrait was submitted by his daughters, Becki Wagoner and Cindy Eslava. A 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, Behny served from December 1942 until November 1951. He
served under Gen. George S. Patton in the 3rd Army, 12th Infantry Division, and saw action in the Battle of the Bulge, in the Forest at Ardennes as well as the Ludendorf Bridge (Remigan). “I’m sure he would think the banners all well and good and nice for people to remember those who served their country,” Eslava said. “He always was a huge proponent of the military, especially for young people who did-
n’t have any direction or goals in life. The military, he felt, would put them on the right path toward productive citizenry. “There was never any second thought about not including him.

Second-hand shopping the world GDP is expected to increase 400 percent by 2050, which means a higher demand for clothing. Environmentally, making clothing within the cycle of fast fashion, it takes 2,700 liters of water to make a single cotton shirt. That is enough drinking water for one person for 2 1/2 years. Socially, according to nonprofit Remake, primarily female garment workers in Bangladesh make around $96 a month, which is only about a fourth of what the government’s wage board suggest is required to live a “decent life with basic facilities.” A report from the US Department of Labor in 2018 also showed evidence of forced child labor in the fashion industries of Bangladesh, Argentina, China, India, Turkey, Vietnam, and other countries. “With the fashion industry becoming one of the most wasteful industries in the world with fast fashion, shopping second hand is such a great solution in preventing textile waste, reducing energy and resources. Over 2,000 gallons of water go into making your favorite pair of jeans so browsing a thrift store or consignment shop to find a pair of jeans for a fraction of the price and helping the environment is definitely a win-win. It feels so rewarding to own a business that is helping reduce our carbon footprint and also give so much value to our community,” said Darcy Vail, owner of Bellazo, a second-hand store in downtown Wabash. This problem seems bigger than one single person, and can feel overwhelming, but there are ways to make a difference and put the clothing industry on a path to more sustainable and ethical production, even in Wabash. By lessening the demand of clothing per person, less will be made, which in turn decrease the negative impacts of fast fashion. In order to do that, the best option is to start buying your clothing second hand, or, if online shopping is preferred, using services such as Rent
The Runway or a company similar. Wabash has many opportunities to shop second hand including Bellazo, The Salvation Army, Jack in the Box, and Lighthouse Missions Thrift Store. Lighthouse Mission offers clothing and household items at a very cheap price. “People say we have the cheapest prices in town,” Director Jenny Ritzema told The Paper. “Plus we have many half-off days, so people will come in and get a shirt that is regularly two dollars for one.” The giving spirit of Lighthouse Mission doesn’t stop with low prices. ARC of Wabash County sends people to volunteer at the store, which in turn helps them develop job skills. Lighthouse Mission also serves many people a week who are in need by providing them with free clothing and hygiene items to help them get back on their feet. These people range from homeless persons, to mothers and children trying to escape domestic violence situations. The Lighthouse Mission accepts donations from the back of their store building. Officials also encourage people to volunteer. “The more hands available, the better,” said Ritzema. The Lighthouse Mission Thrift Store is located on Wabash Street near Mi Pueblos, and is open Monday from 9-5:30,
and Tuesday through Saturday from 9-4, and closed Sunday. Salvation Army Manager Rebecca Wedding said her store also is trying to make a difference. The mission of the Salvation Army is to help men who struggle with drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitate and get back to living their best lives, she said. “Not only are you re-selling something and getting a second or third use out of it, so not only are you being eco-friendly, but you’re also helping someone in need,” said Wedding of the multifaceted benefit of shopping second hand. Salvation Army is located in the Wabash Crossing shopping center off of Cass Street and is open Monday through Saturday from 9-6, and closed Sundays. Jack in the Box is also available for thrifting in Wabash. Jack in The Box has served Wabash County for more than 30 years with a focus on children’s clothing, toys, and furniture. Jack in the Box is a consignment shop, with a section of new products as well. It carries mostly kid’s clothing, but sizes range from preemie clothing to adult 2XL clothing. It is located on Dale Drive and is open Monday through Friday from 10-6, and Saturday from 9-4, and closed Sunday. For people who want to contribute to the benefits of second

Photo by Mandy Underwood. hand shopping, but dread the thought of sorting through hundreds of clothes to potentially end up not finding anything in their style or size, Bellazo is a great place to shop. Bellazo is a second-hand boutique located downtown that specializes in Revived Style. “Our aesthetic is on trend with many different tastes varying from the newest teen crazes like oversized tee’s, scrunchies, shell necklaces, and Vans to high end fashion with designer items such as Prada, Chanel, and Gucci. You can pick up a casual outfit or find the perfect little black dress. There are so many options with all name brand, boutique, vintage and designer labels to choose from with prices that are totally
reasonable. Anyone at any age can shop here locally or online,” shop owner Darcy Vail said. Vail also discussed misconceptions of second hand shopping and how her store differs from other thrift stores. “I think we have a tendency to think new clothes are cleaner than second hand because they have never been worn, but new clothes have been tried on again and again in dressing rooms and not to mention the amount of chemicals and dyes that are on them,” she said. “All the icky chemicals are free and clear with second hand clothing and at Bellazo everything is laundered so there’s no reason to worry.” Bellazo offers an array of products from soaps to laptop
stickers, and almost everything in between. “Bellazo is so much more than just a thrift store. Each piece of clothing has been carefully curated with the customer in mind. All the clothing is washed in organic laundry soap that we sell in the store, and inspected to make sure there are no imperfections or flaws. We try to keep the store very well organized and laid out in a way that’s easy to shop and move through. “Our inventory is ever changing and you can come in every week and/or several times a week and always find something new. We also sell a lot of fun new items like funny socks, kitchen towels and mitts from Blue Q,
wonderful smelling candles from PF Candle Co, ZUM organic laundry soaps, room sprays and skin care and so much more,” Vail said. Bellazo is not accepting clothes donations or consigners at the moment, but Vail encourages everyone to donate their used clothing and household items to any of the other thrift stores around town. Bellazo is located on Market Street and is open M-F from 10-6 and closed on Sundays. Whether you are wanting to reduce your carbon footprint, support local causes, or just find a vintage pair of jeans, there are many options right here in Wabash.

Hummingbird migration is here By Leesa Metzger Late August is a happy time for me in the garden. While some gardeners dread the lull between the July daylily bloom and the September chrysanthemum and aster show, I look forward to the time when migrating Rubyt h r o a t e d Hummingbirds return. Soon hummingbirds will be passing through Northern Indiana on their way to warmer climates for the winter. I think I see my “regular customers” at my feeders throughout June and July, but I see a much larger variation in visitors to our feeders in late summer and early fall. The new visitors to our feeders signal that hummingbirds are on the move beginning in August. Arriving between the last week in August or the first week in September, these mostly female
CHRISTINE FLOHR and juvenile male birds visit feeders and plants while en route to warmer winter grounds. New visitors come and go until the first week in October. Though some Rubythroated hummingbirds are found wintering along the Gulf of Mexico and North Carolina’s Outer Banks, most make a long journey to Central America and Mexico. Mature males are the first to begin the journey south, departing July through August in daylight hours. To follow are the adult
females in September. The juveniles are last to leave — depending on age — in late September to midNovember. Of course, the farther south you live, the later your migration will begin. By the first of October, migrants are observed in Central America. Many of the birds choose a direct route south, crossing the Gulf of Mexico with no stops. Quite a feat considering it’s nearly 500–600 miles during hurricane season! While they make frequent feeding stops on the continental U.S., Ruby-throated Hummingbirds need to indulge in large amounts of nectar and protein before they cross the Gulf. It is beneficial that the Gulf Coast states have an abundance of blooming plants in the fall. Feeders are a good way to bring the hummingbird activity close to view. Provide
feeders in various locations in the yard, using a sugar water mixture. Don’t buy the colored mix as it’s really not good for the birds. A normal ratio for sugar to water is one cup sugar for every four cups water (1:4). Some offer a stronger solution of 1:3 in the fall. Clean your feeders often as mold builds and can harm the hummingbirds. To assist the Rubyt h r o a t e d Hummingbird along the migration path, plan a garden with some of their favorite flowers. Include annuals such as red salvia, lantana, petunias and cannas and long blooming perennials that include bee balm (monarda), lavender, purple salvia, daylily, and catnip (calamintha) to attract the birds all summer. Flowering shrubs that attract hummingbirds to the garden include weigela, butterfly
bush (buddleja), and f l o w e r i n g lepodermis. All of these plants can be found at the Metzger Landscaping Garden Center here in North Manchester! An easy rule of thumb when looking for plants to attract hummingbirds is if the plant has a trumpet-shaped flower, a hummingbird will love it. Now is the time to take notice and enjoy the fall migration of Ruby-throated hummingbirds and to plan for next year’s migration. If you are lucky enough to have visi-
tors all summer, then you probably have many plants already and know those most attractive to the birds. In my garden, they love to visit many types of flowers. The perennial flowers in our landscaping attract hummingbirds and we also have suction-cup feeders that attach to a window on our front porch and another on our back patio for up close viewing from inside of our feathered friends. A winning combination for a hummingbird buffet is to offer a few flow-
ering shrubs, several varieties of perennials and annuals as well as a feeder.

County Soil and Water Conservation District, Wabash River Defenders and the Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI) will be hosting a Soil Health Field Day on Tuesday, Sept. 10. Frank Gibbs, a retired NRCS soil scientist from Ohio, will be showcasing a tile demonstration. Gibbs will use smoke and pressurizing tile lines to force the smoke through the soil surface. Attendees will see how smoke can be used as an indicator
of water movement through the soil to show the efficiency of the underlying tile. The more smoke that comes to the surface demonstrates a healthier soil. Soils sealed due to compaction will not show smoke rise through the soil surface. Farmers will also experience a rainfall infiltration demonstration. The demonstration illustrates detachment (soil particles breaking off), t r a n s p o r t (erosion/runoff), and deposition (soil being
deposited). The field day will conclude with a guided walk through a field that has been seeded with cover crops. “Cover crops improve soil health by adding diversity to a farm system by keeping living roots in the soil year-round,” CCSI Director Lisa Holscher said. The Soil Health Field Day will take place Tuesday, Sept. 10, at the Wabash County Farm, located at 1323 Manchester Ave., Wabash. Registration begins at

Edible art!
With the school year now in full swing and children’s brains being shifted into full energize mode, it is important that parents – and grandpar ents have creative out lets for their overflowing energies to go. W h i l e some may find this surprising, playdough offers a wide array of developmental, learning, and sensory benefits for kids of pretty much all ages, which is why it is a staple in almost every early childhood classroom. From helping children develop strength, dexterity, and control needed to manipulate things like scissors, pencils, buttons and zip pers, play dough also offers opportunities for independent and cooperative play, which opens the door to experience cooperation, collaboration, selfcontrol, and even friend ships. What’s interesting is that in recent years there has been a seismic shift away from com mercial playdough to ones that you can make on your own. Curious as to know why, I dis covered it was chiefly due to parents who wanted to place this creative clay into very young hands! Recommended for early developmental learning for children as young as 18 to 24 months, while this may be an ideal age to acquaint your child with playdough, any par ent knows full and well that it will most defi nitely end up in their child’s mouth! Coming in at a close second is ingredients, freshness, availability, and price. Making your own playdough not only guarantees that you know what’s in it is safe for your family but it also guarantees it is not only fresh and more convenient but if made with modest ingredi ents – also more economicallypriced! There are quite a few different recipes on the internet for edible play doughs. However, there are also just as many complaints about them failing in their reviews so be sure to read them thoroughly before choosing which one you will do! No matter which one you choose, please be advised that homemade play dough can get a little bit sticky, so it is wise to create a play surface for each child – a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mats is a perfect way to confine their work (mess) or some other nonstick surface. Here now is a trio of ways to play with a dough that teaches as it entertains ENJOY!
Aidan, Finn, Sam, and Sloane enjoy being entertained with a creative assortment of edible play dough they helped to make! Photographer: Laura Kurella
Marshmallow Play Dough
Peanut Butter Play Dough
Prep time: 5 minutes.
Prep Time: 5 minutes.
3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon powdered sugar 5 regularsize marshmallows 1 tablespoon coconut oil 6 drops liquid food coloring
1 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup honey 2 cups powdered sugar
In a bowl, mix cornstarch with pow dered sugar and set aside. In a microwave safe container, place marshmallows, coconut oil and food coloring. Microwave, watching closely, until marshmallows expand like crazy, about 15 seconds in. As soon as they start to get too big, stop the microwave and let the marshmallows settle down. Start microwave again and let run about 15 more seconds to finish melting marshmallow and oil. Using a spoon, mix marshmallow mixture until it comes together into a ball. Remove from bowl and place ball into bowl with the cornstarch/powdered sugar mixture and roll to cover ball completely. Let rest for a few seconds to cool then, using your hands, start kneading together to form your play dough. Play with it on a nonstick surface, such as parchment paper taped to the table or a silicone baking mat. Discard after use. Yield: Approximately 1 cup.
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix, using hands. Dough should feel soft and pliable, which means its ready to go! Store unused portion in an airtight con tainer. Yield: Approximately 2 1/2 cups.
Oatmeal Play Dough 1 cup flour 2 cups oatmeal 1 cup water In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients using hands. Once mixture is well blended and comes together it is ready to form into shapes. Note: This play dough recipe can be painted once shapes are left to dry. Store unused portion in airtight contain er. Yield: Approximately 2 1/2 cups.

Savory sandwiches for tailgate fun Fall marks the start of football season. Game day experiences are made even more enjoyable by hosting or attending a tailgate in the parking lot of the stadium. Tailgate supplies must be brought to the tailgate the day of the game. That includes food, which is often prepared at home and then cooked on-site. This recipe for “Ultimate Steak & Mushroom Sandwiches” from Laurie McNamara’s “Simply Scratch” (Avery) can be prepared at home and then put together at the stadium lot. These delicious sandwiches can be easily cut into small pieces and served as slider-type appetizers. Ultimate Steak & Mushroom Sandwiches Makes 4 6-inch sandwiches 11⁄4 to 11⁄2 pounds rib-eye steak 1 cup Balsamic Herb Dressinade (see below) 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced 1 pint cremini mushrooms, cleaned
and sliced Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (optional) 1⁄2 cup crumbled blue cheese 11⁄2 cups grated provolone cheese 4 6-inch hoagie bungs, split Mayonnaise Balsamic Herb Dressinade 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1⁄2 teaspoon dried 3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt 1⁄4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 cup grape-seed or olive oil In a 1-pint glass jar, combine all the ingredients. Secure the lid and shake until combined. Let stand for 30 minutes before using. Refrigerate any unused dressing.
Place the steak on a small rimmed baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes so it’s firm and partially frozen. Holding a sharp knife on a slight angle, going against the grain of the meat, slice into very thin strips. In a large resealable bag or a medium bowl, marinate the steak in the dressinade for 30 minutes. On a griddle or in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, toss and spread out in an even layer. Once the onion starts to soften, add the mushrooms. Cook until soft and slightly caramelized. Using tongs, remove the steak from the marinade (allow excess to drip back into the bag or bowl) and place on the griddle, toss with the onions and mushrooms, then spread in an even layer. Allow the steak to sear, forming a crust, for 4 to 6 minutes, then flip and cook for 4 to 6 minutes more. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired, and sprinkle with the blue cheese and provolone. Turn off the heat on the griddle or remove the skillet from the heat and cover with a domed lid or
tented foil to allow the cheese to melt quickly.
Toss one last time so the cheese is mixed
throughout. Divide the steak mixture
among the crusty hoagie buns. Serve immediately.
