Manchester Boys Varsity Champs

The week between Christmas and New Year’s could be known here as Championship Week, as five local teams won Wabash County Champion titles in their respective sports.

The Manchester Squires wrestling team captured the Wabash County Wrestling Tourney title on Dec. 29 at Northfield High School.

The Squires defeated Southwood, 63-9; Northfield, 45-16; and Wabash, 3931, to win the title.

At the same time, an abbreviated Wabash County Basketball Tourney tipped off at Southwood High School.

The tourney took on a different look this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The gym was emptied after each contest so that the facility could be sanitized. Crowd size was limited to 500 people per contest, and there were no junior varsity consolation games played.

In the end, Manchester’s boys and Northfield’s girls captured the varsity championships, while Wabash’s boys and Northfield’s girls captured the junior varsity titles.

Manchester defeated Wabash, 52-43, to capture the boys varsity title, while Northfield edged Wabash, 52-50.

In the junior varsity contests, Wabash’s boys defeated host Southwood, 34-28, while the Lady Norse defeated Southwood, 39-16.

ASC begins administering COVID vaccine

By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com

Officials from American Senior Communities (ASC) are actively preparing their senior care

communities following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use and has begun administration of the COVID-19 vac-

cine. ASC is partnering with CVS and their long-term care pharmacy, Omnicare, who bring their expertise serving seniors.

The vaccine is being offered free of

charge to all residents and staff in two doses, given 28 days apart. ASC’s goal is to have 100 percent of residents and staff vaccinated. ASC has aggressively provided education and counseling to ensure compliance.

Videos and photos were taken on Dec. 28 at Bethany Village, one of several ASC locations where the vaccination process has begun. Dixie Spear became ASC’s first resident to receive the vaccine.

Sherri Davies, vice president of sales, PR and marketing at American Senior Communities, told The Paper of Wabash that although Autumn Ridge of Wabash and Markle Health and Rehabilitation of Huntington County have not been scheduled for the vaccine yet, CVS is working on a full schedule for vaccinations, and it is expected that all ASC locations will be scheduled soon.

As part of ASC’s awareness campaign

to achieve victory over COVID through vaccination, names “Gimme a ‘V’!” ASC will launch a new series of commercials in January. The series aims to educate the public by combatting the most common fears surrounding the vaccine.

The commercials are fronted by Quinn Buckner, NCAA and NBA champion, Olympic Gold Medalist, civic leader, sportscaster and the voice of the Indiana Pacers and American Senior Communities team member.

ASC continues to be in close contact with local, state and federal health authorities, following their guidance, mandates and reporting requirements. The residents and families served are ASC’s highest priority, and the staff will continue to provide high quality care with compassion to those entrusted with an overabundance of public health and infection control precautions.

Officer takes oath: On Jan. 1, 2021, Gareth L. Monroe was sworn in as a Wabash City Probationary Patrolman.

Mayor Scott Long swore in Gareth L. Monroe at the Wabash City Police Department. Monroe was born and raised in Wabash. He graduated from Wabash High School in 2011 and currently resides in Wabash.

Filmmaker eyes county as possible location

By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com Connor Noble, Wabash native and CEO of Falling Star Pictures, a film company based out of Muncie, has announced the beginning stages of his upcoming film, “Night of the Living Dead,” which he hopes to partly film in Wabash County.

Falling Stars Pictures got its start in 2017 by Noble, who has had a lifetime passion for filmmaking.

“We have had success making several short films through our publishing title ‘Falling Star Cinema,’” said Noble.

“We have a 16minute film on Amazon Prime which was our first, called ‘ I n f e c t i o n Containment,’ filmed in January of 2020 starring Leanne Johnson, Joshua Neal Lamon, Kaitlyn Naillon, and Montez Lafayette. It was supposed to have two sequels which have been postponed until next year, but we were able to make a nineminute prequel for it that’s out on YouTube.

More recently, Falling Stars Pictures filmed a 30-minute short film completely shot in Wabash at local places along Market Street, inside Charley Creek Inn, and a couple alley ways.

The film, ‘Windy City Nights,’ a 1930’s film noir detective and Humphrey Bogart style film is currently in post-production and is estimated to be released this coming summer.

The familiarly named feature film that Noble and his colleagues are currently planning, which will have a run time of an hour to an hour and a half, will be based on the 1968 cult classic film by George A. Romero ‘Night of the Living Dead.’

Noble told The Paper of Wabash County that he is able

to use the same title because the original film never had a copyright on it, which doomed the film to be Public Domain since its release. “(That) has made it the victim of title slapping, which means people making generic zombie movies and put the title on it for clickbait even if it has no relation to the original movie or storyline,” said Noble, who plans to make his film on par with the original.

“The original film was the original and first zombie movie that was ever made, it scared everybody, but the reason that the low budget amateur film took off was because of the underlying social message following the problems of that time, 52 years ago,” said Noble.

“The actual remake of that film was in 1990 where they had a underlying social message for those times as well. So, my thought was it was 30 years ago and with everything going on in our society today, it seemed right to make that kind of film again. The overall story of the film is about a group of 7 people locked away inside a farmhouse as the pandemic of a mutation causes seemingly normal

people to attack and eat others around them, the people they kill getting up to kill as well, essentially Zombies but the term Zombies is never once uttered in the entire movie and they are referred to as Ghouls.

The social message of this film talks about things going on at this time such as the Black Lives Matter movement, Me Too movement, sex equality, and even yes, a pandemic which seems fitting for this time.”

Noble also gave The Paper a look into what it is like to prepare to film.

“We have to get permission to film in the needed locations which is the tricky part, but, more times than not, a lot of people will be very hospitable to us and give us as much time as we need to film in those

locations,” he said.

“And of course, writing the initial draft of the film was interesting, I pretty much only wrote it at night, but it only took me three days to write the whole thing, which was originally and 82-page script, and after the final edits, it went to 86. My favorite part of this whole thing is the support from the community has been amazing, we couldn’t ask for a better community inside and outside of the Indiana Film Network.

Falling Stars Picture’s verion of ‘Night of the Living Dead’ will star Jeffery Jackson Sr. as Ben, Amy Lynn Hamner as Barbara, Larry Jones as Harry Cooper, Paisley Blackburn as Helen Cooper, Connor Noble as Tom, Sabre Campbell as Judy, and Lily Sheets as Sarah Cooper. Other cast members include Leanne Johnson, Lec Zorn, Brandon Strantz, Steve Barnett, Halie Lyke, Tyler Montoney, and Jordan McQuiston.

Film crew is Devon ‘Connor’ Noble, director; Bryan Rodriguez, camera operator; Donavan Barrier, PA; and Logan Gerber, gaffing.

Noble plans to film in Roann, pending approval from the town council, as well as Delphi at an AirBnB farmhouse.

Anyone interested in being an extra in the film can go to Falling Star Cinema

throughout the day.

The staff that attended the meeting were very impressed with the parking and cleanliness of the building. It was also stated the ease of access to the building from State Road 13 was much appreciated. Mark Carunchia, Supervisor of the

Investigators, requested the use of the building Dec. 11.

He stated that he likes the location as most investigators only have a two-hour drive or less from their northern offices. He stated that the meeting area (the large dining room) was very impressive and that he was able to seat the investigators 6 feet apart. The meeting consisted of 11 investigators from the northern counties. The State Staff was required to follow the State Guidelines and the Guidelines of the Urbana Community Building.

Condolences to Jane Winebrenner’s family and friends

A prayer for the new year Heavenly Father, as we embark upon a new year, remind our heart to leave the old things behind and look ahead to a new year, full of fresh possibilities. For you are the God of the possible, not the impossi-

ble. You are the God of new beginnings, not living in the past.

You are the God of miracles, who can make a dry path through the sea, who can calm the wind and waves, who can bring forth water in

the dry desert. Lord, fill our hearts with your possibilities as we look toward this new year. Lead us closer to you and your great possibilities for our lives as we seek to follow you ever more closely.

Amen. This was prayer on Face Book LaFontaine Christian Church page. I wanted to bring it to everyone who reads this column.

Mrs. Sweet chose teaching as a profession because she loves kids and wants to help them reach their dreams. She

Thank you, Mrs. Sweet for choosing teaching and investing in the students of Southwood Elementary!

MY THOUGHTS: At the end of one year and beginning of and a new one. I have been thinking about my life and how God has blessed and has been there for me. I was raised in the church, but like so many young people, I did not listen to God, I thought it was not necessary. After several years of not following God and making several mistakes.

I discovered that God was always there supporting me. I started watching a minister on TV Robert H Schuller and I listened for several years. One day I received a key ring with the following message in mail on it.

“When faced with a mountain I will not quit; I will keep on

striving until I climb over, find a pass through, tunnel underneath-or simply stay and turn the mountain into a gold mine. With God’s Help!” I carried this key chain in my pocket every day on my job. During this time, I quit one job and took another one thinking that it was much better. At this job things that were promised did not happen and I keep reading this message over and over. I was divorced woman with three small children to support and raise.

So, one day when I went to work things were worst then they ever had been. So, I read the message again and made decision to quit. I just trusted that God was in control and had a

plan.

So, I was without a job for two weeks when I got a call from my Mother telling me to go and put my application in at Marion General Hospital, because she had talked with Helen Townsend a dietitian there. I followed through with this request, was interviewed and offered a job. I did not take it because it was not one I wanted, because I had experience in cooking and baking and this is what wanted to do.

Again, I trusted God and knowing that He is in control. I went home and went and seen my Mother and told her I was not going to take the job that I was offered.

While I was there, I got phone call from my son stating that “he received a phone call from the Department Head of Dietary wanting me to call him back.” I did this upon getting back home. During the phone call he interviewed me again, but this time it was for relief cook and baker for the department and I would start right away. I bet you can

guess I took it. After 27 years I retired from Marion General Hospital in 2005 as the Asst. Food Manager of the Dietary Department.

During this time, I raise my three children, seen them grow and go out on their own. In 1991 I got down on my knees and prayed to God asking for a man to share my life, if it was His Will and if it wasn’t, I was ok with that, because remember I trusted Him. God answer my prayer and sent this wonderful man in the name of Larry Eib to me. We married in August of 1992 and would have had 23 wonderful years together, But God called him home in March 2015. I was OK with that because Larry had been very ill for several years and was not able to do all the things he loved to do. I always was praying for God to make Larry well and keep him here or make him well and take him home. So now I know Larry is well and with God. By the way I was baptized in the summer Continued on Page 7

Jesus and who he is.

Jesus, the son of man, shows his humanity came to this earth. God loved humanity but they were separated from him because of their sin nature. Mankind was born with the sin nature and needed to be set free from the power of sin in their life. God, therefore, gave his son, Jesus, who came to this earth to satisfy the righteous demand.

The penalty of sin is eternal death apart from a holy God. A sacrifice needed to be made and there was only one who was righteous to be the spotless sacrifice for mankind. So, God sent his son to this earth to be this payment.

Jesus came not to be served. Jesus, the son of God, did not have to strive to be equal with God, but humbled himself by taking on the form of a human. Born in a manger by a virgin mother. He didn’t demand a 5-star hotel and could have called ten thousand angels to protect him from the cross. He didn’t have loud speakers announcing his arrival or ads on the local Facebook. A star and angels guided those who were to welcome him and share with others that the messiah had arrived. The government was seeking to destroy this king but

Jesus came humbly to serve mankind by sacrificing his life as a ransom for many.

The word ransom means to release or to make loose. It is a term where slaves are bought and set free.

Mankind was a slave to the sin nature and could not do anything to appease a holy God. The penalty of sin is death. Jesus paid that penalty and set mankind free from the bondage of the sin nature. God’s love provided a sacrifice in his son to make mankind right with himself. The Christmas holiday may come and go but the love of God remains. Celebrate the love of God every day.

I CAN BE reached by e-mail at meyerann@centurylink.net or at the Roann United Methodist Church on Tuesday and Thursday from 10am-1pm. I can also be reached via phone, 765-833-2614. News deadline will be Tuesday at 10am to appear in the next weeks paper.

of 1989 and a member of the LaFontaine Christian Church God family. I have not been attending due to the Covid-19, my doctor has requested at this time to not attend. I really miss the fellowship of the congregation and being in the church building. I am very thankful that our Pastor Brad Wright, Worship Pastor Dustin Hurst and

Student Pastor Jake Andrews are putting the Sunday message on line. So, I am able to listen to a message of God’s word, just like I did back in 1977 listing to Robert H. Schuller.

of no avail.

Jesus was a servant. He didn’t live the life of a king but his life and message was one of servanthood and mercy and grace. Jesus ultimately showed the life of a servant to the heavenly father who sent him. Jesus served those who were willing to follow and seek the kingdom of God. Jesus also served his family and helped many people who he met along the way.

Jesus came humbly to serve mankind by being a sacrifice.

Jesus gave his life for those who would follow him. Jesus ultimate purpose for an earthly existence was to be a sacrifice for mankind and their sins. No one took his life but he gave up his life so followers could have eternal life.

What love is shown by giving his life for mankind and especially sinful men! He would take on the sin and damnation upon himself and be forsaken by his heavenly father. No sacrifice could be greater.

...continued from Page 6

Deere announced this week that it is donating $1 million in 2021 to help support the National FFA Organization’s mission to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Since John Deere’s initial contribution of $1,000 in 1943, it has donated more than

$16 million to the National FFA Foundation.

John Deere was also one of the first corporate sponsors to form an FFA Alumni and Supporters Chapter.

Today, employees from John Deere facilities across the U.S. volunteer to coach, mentor and train FFA chapters.

The National FFA Organization is a school-based national leadership development organization.

PASTOR MACE talks about the fifth advent candle: We all have events and people we look forward to seeing. Christ came not to be served but to serve and to give his life, a ransom for many. The coming of Christ was on the minds of the disciples, religious leaders and the government.

A new kingdom was going to be set up and there was a lot of discussion as to what that meant. Jesus was to be the king of the Jews and that brought resistance and turmoil. The fifth advent candle is for the Christ child who came. Mark 10:45 paints a picture of

Mark McKnight, 57 Served as pastor Dec. 27, 1963 – Dec. 30, 2020 Mark Anthony McKnight, 57, Gas City, passed away unexpectedly at 7:24 am on Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2020. He was born into a pastor’s home on Friday, Dec. 27, 1963 in Ft. Myers, Florida, the seventh child of Charles and Wilma (Case) McKnight. On Oct. 9, 1981, when he was 17 years old, he married his high school sweetheart, Paula Brown McKnight (who survives).

Together, they enjoyed 39 years of blessed marriage. They had four children: Brandon, Ashley, Dustin, and Evan.

Mark graduated from Adams Street Christian School and then joined the United States Army where he was stationed in Ft. Lewis, WA and later in West Germany. He worked as an Industrial Electrician with Caravan Facilities Management. He was the pastor of Jonesboro Friends Church. He also served as the treasurer at Adams Street Christian Church and as a Chaplain for the Grant County Sheriff ’s Dept.

Mark was a man of many parts. He never saw himself as a great orator (although he preached many years at the Jonesboro Friends Church), or a scholar (though he was a deep thinking, and very knowledgeable Industrial Electrician, Sunday School teacher, and Bible study leader), he believed himself to be very blessed in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and spent most of his time sharing that knowledge with others. He was a hard worker and always had a project that needed his attention.

Although, he often put his own projects on hold to help a friend or family member. He

loved being a grandpa as much as he loved being a dad and took great pride in his eight grandchildren. His life was very full with his responsibilities of being a husband, father, grandfather, employee, pastor and chaplain.

Yet he still managed to find time to be an interested uncle, a loyal brother, an available son-in-law, a beloved coach, and a wonderful friend.

Along with his wife, survivors include his children, Anthony Brandon McKnight of Indianapolis, Ashley (Dan) Frank of Wabash, Dustin Paul McKnight of Gas City, Evan (Fiancée, Samantha Crain) McKnight of LaFontaine; grandchildren: Alivia, Emerson, Towbin, J. C., Isabelle, Noelle, Noah, Jude; brothers: Charles (Polly) McKnight of Alexandria, Tim (Rose) McKnight of Bluffton, David (Linda) McKnight of Carmel, Paul (Roberta) McKnight of Wabash, Tom (Sharon) McKnight of Alexandria; sisters, Naomi (Jeff) Barger of Loveland, OH, Becky (Richie) Graves of Upland; and father-in-law, Paul Brown of Jonesboro.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Wilma McKnight, and mother-inlaw, Earlene Brown.

The family will receive visitors from 4-8 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, at Jonesboro Friends Church, 513 S. Water St., Jonesboro, IN. A Funeral Service to celebrate Mark’s life will be held at 10:00 am on Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021, at the Jonesboro Friends Church. Mark’s brother, Tom McKnight will be officiating with burial following at Park Cemetery in Fairmount.

Memorial contributions may be directed to Grant County Sheriff ’s Dept. Chaplaincy Program 214 E. 4th St., Marion, IN 46952 or Williams Syndrome Foundation 570 Kirts Blvd., Suite 223, Troy, MI 48084.

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

The Wabash girls basketball team took an early lead against Northfield in the championship game of the Wabash County Tournament, leading by as many 10 points early in the second quarter.

But in the end it was Northfield who chipped away at the Wabash lead, and pulled out a 52-50 win, thanks to two free throws from Kyra Kennedy with 2.6 seconds remaining.

Northfield took a 44-43 lead with 2:23 left in the game on a basket from Addy Rosen. Wabash’s Nici Gunderman had a chance to give the back to the Lady Apaches but missed the front end of a one-and-one with 1:58 remaining.

Gunderman’s teammate Mariah Wyatt grabbed the miss and was fouled, sending her to the free throw line, but she missed both attempts.

With 1:40 left, Gunderman was fouled again but once again missed the free throw.

Northfield’s Emma Hoover was fouled with 1:30 left and hit both free throws to give the Lady Norse a 46-43 lead, followed by another trip to the line and two more three throws for a 48-43 advantage with 57 seconds left in the game.

Alivia Short scored inside for Wabash to cut the lead to 48-45 with 51 seconds left.

With 12.4 seconds left in the game, Short tied the game at 50-50 with two free throws.

After a time out, Northfield’s inbounds pass was stolen and passed to Libby Mattern for a three-pointer.

First round Northfield 55, Manchester 47 The Manchester girls basketball team was cruising and the Squires had their eyes set for a berth in the Wabash County Tournament championship game.

Instead, their 13-point halftime lead turned into a 55-47 defeat at the hands of the Northfield Norse Wednesday morning, Dec. 29.

Manchester’s Morgan Parrett, Keilan Creager and Eva Bazzoni each scored early to give the Lady Squires a 6-3 lead

that turned into a 14-7 lead when Ainsley West scored six points in the last two minutes of the quarter.

Northfield cut the lead to 19-14 midway through the second quarter, but the Squires ran out the first half with three pointers from Bazzoni and West and two free throws from Beletu Stout, to take a 27-14 halftime lead.

The Squires maintained a 29-17 lead with six minutes left in the third quarter but Northfield started chipping away at the lead.

Kyra Kennedy scored on an inbounds pass, followed by a jumper from Kenzie Baer, and a steal and layup from Kennedy to cut the lead to 29-23, and eventually 37-32 after three quarters.

With Manchester leading 39-34 with six minutes left in the game, Northfield struck.

Addi Baker nailed a three-pointer and Kennedy tied the game at 39-39 with a jumper.

Emma Hoover gave Northfield the lead with a three pointer for a 42-39 led before Manchester’s Emma Garriott stopped the run with rebound and put-back.

The gap remained two points with Northfield holding on to a 47-45 lead before Kearston Stout hit 1-2 free throws and a basket, followed by a 1-2 trip to the line from Baker to give the Norse a 52-45 lead with 36.6 seconds remaining, a lead the Squires couldn’t overcome.

Wabash jumped on top of the Lady Knights with a 7-2 start on the back of two baskets from Mariah Wyatt and one from Nici Gunderman.

Southwood battled back to tie the game at 7-7 with a three-pointer, then a steal and layup from Ella Haupert.

Alivia Short gave Wabash an 11-8 lead with four points in the final two minutes of the first quarter, followed by two free throws each from Wyatt and Rylee Yoakum, and a fast break basket from Short for a 17-8 lead.

The Lady Apaches extended the lead to 28-11 before Haupert hit a three pointer lead in the half.

The teams traded baskets throughout the third quarter with Wabash leading 35-17.

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

A Manchester 8-0 run to end the first half of the Wabash County Tournament championship game against Wabash gave the Squires the breathing room they needed as they withstood a number of Apache pushes to hold on for a 5243 win Wednesday, Dec. 30.

With Manchester leading 22-21 with 2:25 remaining in the second quarter, Cade Jones started the late first-half run with a lay-up on an assist from Weston Hamby, followed by a three-point play from Max Carter, a driving basket from Hamby, and a free throw from Carter Bedke to take a 30-21 halftime lead.

The Apaches cut into the lead in the third quarter with a 10-2 run with two three-pointers from Joe Leland and two driving baskets from Jasper Walter to pull within three points at 34-31 with 5:00 left in the quarter.

A pull-up jumper from Wabash’s Dave Ford cut the Squire lead to 37-35 late in the third quarter, but Hamby scored on a drive and Maddox Zolman hit a 25-foot three-pointer at the buzzer to give Manchester a 42-35 lead going into the final quarter.

The Squires held on to a seven-point advantage with 3:30 left in the game.

First Round Manchester 68, Northfield 45 The first game of the boys varsity tournament looked to be a battle between Manchester and Northfield but turned into anything but that.

After a strong Northfield 7-3 start, the Squires ran away with the first quarter and the game, advancing to the championship game with a 68-45 win over the Norse.

Northfield took the lead early with a basket from Jayden Peas, and a jumper from Clayton Tomlinson, followed by a three-pointer from Manchester erased Northfield’s four-point lead with a 19-4 run over the last four minutes of the first quarter, then slowly pulled away for a 41-21 halftime lead, and never let the Norse back in the game.

Hamby led the Squires with 22 points, eight assists, and five rebounds, followed by Carter with 17 points, 13 rebounds,

two assists, and two steals, Cade Jones with 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, and two steals, Bedke with seven points, one rebound, and one steal, Brayden Jones with six points and three rebounds, and Gabe Case with four points and four rebounds.

Wabash 64, Southwood 57 The Wabash Apaches won a back-and-forth battle with the Southwood Knights, pulling away with a 64-57 win Tuesday, Dec. 29, earning a place in the championship game.

Wabash led after one quarter 15-9, but Southwood rebounded to take a 30-24 halftime lead.

The Apaches used a 2214 third quarter to take a 46-44 lead and used a 13-0 run early in the four the fourth quarter to put some breathing room between them and the Knights, holding off every push Southwood through at them.

Wabash started the game on fire with an 11-2 score, highlighted by a four-point play from Leland.

Southwood made it a game, cutting the Apache lead to 15-11 with two baskets late in the first quarter from Carson Rich.

One free throw each from Dawson Filip and Cole Winer, and a steal and layup from Carson Rich tied the game at 1616. The Knights took their first lead on back-to-back buckets from Alex Farr with 4:02 left in the half, and Carson Rich hit two three-pointers for a 30-24 halftime lead.

With Southwood leading 36-27 midway through the third quarter, Wabash tied it up at 38-38 with a basket from Wright and a three-pointer from Daughtry.

Consolation game Southwood 56, Northfield 34 What looked like a match-up that promised plenty of scoring, it was anything but that, at least in the first half, as the Southwood Knights ran away from the Northfield Norse in the second half to claim the win of the consolation game 56-34, Wednesday, Dec. 30.

After eight minutes of play, Southwood led Northfield 5-3, but the scoring started to pick up from there.

Northfield took a 7-5 lead with two early baskets in the second quarter from Trent Osborn.

The teams traded the lead four times in the early minutes of the second quarter with Northfield taking a 9-8 lead on two free throws from Eli Kroh.

Filip gave Southwood a 11-9 lead with a jumper, and Northfield never led again, but kept things close for a while.
