Elks, The Paper to host veterans’ dinner

By The Paper staff The Paper of Wabash County, in conjunction with the Wabash Elks Lodge No.471, will host a free spaghetti dinner for Wabash County veterans and active duty personnel on Monday, Nov. 11.

The dinner will be from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 225 W. Main St., Wabash.

Veterans’ families may accompany them for the dinner.

Organizers are asking for a freewill donation for non-veterans.

That money will be donated to the Elks Veteran Service Program.

“We are very happy to partner with the local Elks Lodge to provide this free dinner to honor veterans,” Hometown Media President Don Hurd said. “We at The Paper feel it is very important to honor those who served to protect our freedom.

“We all owe our veterans much gratitude for their bravery and courage to serve our country.”

Hometown Media is the parent company of The Paper of Wabash County.

Jana Slacian, Exalted Ruler of the Wabash Lodge, said Lodge officials were honored to work with The Paper to honor local veterans.

“These men and women have sacrificed many things to protect the freedom we all have and enjoy,” she said. “The Elks have long worked to help veterans in any way we can.

“The organization has a saying, ‘So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget.’ We truly believe that and we will do anything we can to help veterans in any way possible.”

The Nov. 11 meal is one of several things the Elks do to honor veterans. Five times each year they host patients from the Marion V.A. Hospital to a free meal at its weekly buffet.

The meal will consist of spaghetti and meat sauce, garlic bread, dessert and soft drinks or coffee.

SES hosts robotics event Teams operate robots during competition

By Mandy Underwood Munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com The second annual Southwood Elementary VEX IQ robotics competition took place on Saturday, Nov. 2 at Southwood High School.

Both gyms at SHS were filled with tables for each team, and fields set up for the challenges to take place.

Each four-foot by eight-foot field was filled with balls and cubes that the robots were to move and place, the goal being to score the most points.

Each ball placed inside of a cube was worth one point, each ball placed on top of a cube was worth two points, each cube placed in a corner goal was worth 10 points, and each cube placed on a platform was worth 20 points.

The day began with check in and inspection of robots at 8 a.m. followed by skills challenges, teamwork challenges, a lunch break, finals, and awards.

“At MSD, we are in our fourth year of robotics competitions,” Southwood Elementary principal, Philip Boone told The Paper of Wabash County.

“Throughout the day, we have action on all five fields going on. There are a couple different components to the competition. You have teamwork challenges, where two teams are working together to (continued on page 6A

Neighbours students celebrate Red Ribbon Week

First responders, Elks members distribute ribbons to elementary students

By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com Looks of awe and excitement flooded the faces of elementary students at O.J. N e i g h b o u r s Elementary School on the morning of Thursday, Oct. 31 as they entered the school to find police officers, fire fighters, and Elroy the Elk greeting them with hugs, ribbons, stickers and bookmarks.

The purpose of this special morning greeting for the students

was to raise awareness about drugs, encourage them to make good decisions, and to feel comfortable around law enforcement and let them know that they are there to help.

This year marked the second year that the Wabash Elks No. 471 put together this event.

Spearheading the plans was Susie Keffaber, Wabash Elks Drug Awareness chair.

“This week is Red Ribbon week, so we just want to raise extra drug awareness in the community,” she told The Paper of Wabash

County.

“We set up a display for [the kids] in the cafeteria all week and then we hand out red ribbons and bookmarks and talk with them about what this week is all about. The kids get excited and this year they seem to know more of what’s going on and they like to get the ribbons and the bookmarks.”

Red Ribbon week is a nationwide campaign started by National Family Partnership in 1985 in response to the murder of Enrique Camarena, a Drug E n f o r c e m e n t Administration Agent.

Camarena was tortured and killed on Feb. 7, 1985 by a group of men at the age of 37.

In memory of Camarena and his efforts to end the circulation of illegal drugs, his friends and family began wearing red satin ribbons.

Soon, Camarena became a model of coalitions aimed at raising awareness of the destruction that alcohol and drugs causes.

Now, nationwide, the Red Ribbon Campaign is used to educate youth about the dangers of drugs and promote drug prevention.

The Benevolentr and Protective Order of Elks has supported Red Ribbon Week since its inception.

Wabash County Sherriff Ryan Baker told The Paper the importance of this event.

“We want to let the kids know that drugs are not a good option,”

Meanwhile, Elroy the Elk (above) , the Wabash Elks Lodge mascot, greets children in the O.J. Neighbours cafeteria. Photos by Mandy Underwood he said.

“It’s also important for us to be here and let the kids know that we care about them.”

Matthew Bruss, Chief of Police explained that it is also important to help

the kids feel comfortable around law enforcement.

“We want to make the kids more at ease with us, introduce ourselves and let them know that we’re not the bad guys.”

Museum unveils new permanent exhibit

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com About a dozen people were on hand Friday afternoon when officials from the Wabash County Historical Museum unveiled its new, permanent exhibit: “Faces of Change.”

The exhibit, located on the museum’s second floor, features 18 local individuals who have influenced change in rural America. It is sponsored by Midwest Eye Consultants in partnership with Indiana Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The museum was awarded a grant to host a local program exploring themes from a traveling Smithsonian exhibit called “Crossroads: A Change in Rural America.” The grant allowed officials to design a local program based on the Smithsonian theme.

“We were able to design a program based on change in rural America, and we were able to put a Wabash County spin on it,” Museum President and CEO Mitch Figert said during the ceremony.

When compiling the exhibit, he said, museum officials wanted to incorporate residents from throughout Wabash

Honored in the Exhibit Those honored in the “Faces of Change” exhibit at the Wabash County Historical Museum are: Naaman Fletcher The Peabodys Homer Showalter James Ridenour Chester Troyer John Pettit John Beamer Mark Honeywell Gene Stratton Porter John Corso Adelaide Baylor W.C. Mills Jack Porter Robert Vanlandingham Scott Long Dr. James Ford Richard E. Ford County.

“We wanted people that influenced change throughout Wabash County and in a variety of ways,” Figert said. “They’re not all deceased.

Some of these people are still influencing change today.”

Putting the exhibit together was at times easy, and at times “we thought we were cursed,” he joked, noting that finding information or items for the three-dimensional exhibits was at times difficult.

Figert also noted that many people from around Wabash County have influ-

enced change in the area, and they will be featured later in the permanent, rotating exhibit.

“We’ll be taking things in and out,” he said.

The exhibit also is interactive, and museum visitors can answer various questions posed by the museum staff. The current question is “What is your favorite exhibit in Wabash County?”

“We’ll collect that data and hold that,” he said. “It might be information that’s important to, say, Grow Wabash County.”

Four questions also are featured with the exhibit, and visitors can answer them on forms provided by the museum.

Next spring, Figert added, a speaker series will take place to coincide with the exhibit.

Among those featured in the exhibit is Jim Ridenour, former director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources before becoming

director of the National Park Service under President George H. W. Bush’s administration.

“It’s really neat,” Ridenour said of the exhibit. “I’ve been kind of concerned about what’s going to happen to all this stuff that shows what my life has been like. My kids live in California. Wabash is (continued on page 4A)

where I grew up. Wabash is my home. If my kids want to see my stuff they can come to Wabash.

“I think the museum is doing a great job with it. The display looks great.”

Indiana Humanities representative Megan Telligman also was on hand for the unveiling.

“I think Mitch and his team have done a beautiful job finding these exemplary figures that have changed the community for the better,” she said. “It’s truly inspirational to see all these stories laid out.”

Since 1991, Helping Hands of Wabash County has been working hard to serve the people of Wabash.

This volunteer organization has many different services to offer the less fortunate in the community such as a thrift store, meal services, food pantry, coats for kids, free haircuts and a gardening program, along with other services.

Currently, Helping Hands in conducting it’s Coats for Kids program.

Coats for Kids is done each fall and serves an average of 200 people a year.

Children who qualify receive five pairs of underwear, five pairs of socks, a hat, gloves and a coat. All of those items are bought new with funds raised by the Helping Hands thrift store.

All people who work within Helping Hands are unpaid volunteers which helps to supplement these funds.

In order for children to qualify for this generous gift, they must attend school within Wabash County and be between two years old to a high school senior.

To sign up for this service, a form, found at the front

desk of Helping Hands thrift store needs to be filled out and turned in along with proof of registration at a Wabash County school.

Helping Hands CEO, Lorraine Selleck spoke with The Paper of Wabash County about the process and urges people wanting to take advantage of these services to be patient and try their best to be the ones filling out the information required.

“We want to provide peo-

ple with these services, but we also want to provide people with an opportunity to learn to be responsible and do what they can for themselves,” she said.

“We also help with other things, such as helping pay for bills and prescriptions, and we are happy to do that, but we do ask that you let us know in advance, as soon as you know of your needs so we can get the money together.”

Selleck also encourages

people to donate their used clothing and other items to the thrift store by dropping them off at the store. Items can be brought in through the front door.

Helping Hands is located at 20 E. Canal St., Wabash and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Wednesday and Saturday, and closed Sunday.

Mochrie, Sherwood returning to Wabash

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

For those attending Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood’s eighth performance at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater, there’s no need to worry.

They promise the show, on Friday, Nov. 8, will be totally different than their first seven visits to the Center.

That’s because, they proudly boast, no two shows are alike.

“We’re bringing audience members up, and we’re getting different suggestions and new suggestions every single night,” Sherwood told The Paper of Wabash County in a recent telephone interview.

“We’re asking for them in a myriad of ways so that we don’t get the same suggestion twice.

“What we’ve been doing for the last few years, is we have these generic cards that have weird ways of asking for all sorts

of different things.

We shuffle them up and have an audience member randomly pick one. So it’s like a one in 15 chance that we’ll be even asking the same question for the same game twice.

And then, the way the card is worded that it’s so obtuse that it’s almost one in a hundred that you’re ever going to get the same suggestion from the audience. So, it’s literally one in a thousand, on any particular game, that we would ever get the same suggestion twice.”

While the performance is truly improvisational, the pair does have somewhat of a game plan.

“That is the only planning we do, Sherwood said. “On the night, we’ll write up the menu as it were. Here’s the running order. This is like the hitlist of songs we’re going to play. We might start with moving bodies, and then do these seven or eight games.

That literally, writing

out the set list for the night is the only plan that we have. Other than that, it’s all seat of the pants.

“And our show is getting more and more audience interactive.

We have almost three quarters of the show we have actual living, breathing audience members on the stage with us. So, it really puts us through the paces, and keeps it ever from feeling like we’re doing something planned because we have all these wildcards on stage steering us in different directions.”

Mochrie, in a separate telephone interview with The Paper, said the pair will review previous setlists used at Honeywell to help ensure a new program.

“Also, we’re constantly trying to come up with new games, so we may insert something that was never tried before,” he continued. “Basically, we have the framework, we know what

games we’re playing, game. In that, he and and then that’s it. It’s Sherwood, blindfoldup to the audience to ed and barefoot, make give us suggestions. their way across a We have the audience stage filled with live on stage with us. mouse traps.

ference being these are all our ideas,” Mochrie said. “We have the audience on stage with us for about 80 percent of the games, so they’re always a major part of the games we have on stage. It’s our job to make sure they’re comfortable enough to do what they can to help us out.

“But, also, we don’t want them going absolutely insane.”

One game that will not be on the playlist, Mochrie told The Paper in a separate telephone interview, is the mouse trap

thought, ‘OK, we’ll do it for them.’”

“But now, we don’t care about the audience,” he continued, jokingly. “We care about ourselves. I’m 61. I can’t go jumping around on mousetraps.

“We may bring it back when I’m 70. At that point I may have no feeling in my legs.

Who knows?”

As for their eight

performances at Honeywell “It’s truly one of our homes away from home,” Sherwood said. “We have a couple places. We’ve been to Milwaukee almost every year of our tour.

And then, Red Bank, New Jersey, comes in in second place. Then Wabash, we’ve probably been there more than any other place to the Honeywell Center on Friday, Nov. 8. Photo

except those other two.”

As for Mochrie, he said, “If you guys keep bringing us back, we have to come.”

Tickets are still available for the 7:30 p.m. performance. For more information, call the Honeywell Center box office, 260563-1112, or visit honeywellcenter.org.

Medicare Open Enrollment underway The team members at Living Well Senior Center in Wabash want to remind the public that Medicare Open Enrollment is from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, 2019.

This means that anyone who has a Medicare Advantage plan, which usually covers both health and prescription costs, can change their plan during that time period. Anyone with a Medicare Prescription Plan can also change during that time period.

These two types of insurance change their plans annually.

The plan a person had in 2019, which was a good one, may or may not still be the best plan for 2020.

Costs of premiums and copays for these plans may change each January.

The State Health Insurance Assistance Program, known as SHIP, is a group of volunteers who are trained by the State of Indiana to aid individuals in finding the best plan each year.

They do not sell insurance but use a government website to show a client all the plans available in the county and the esti-

Locals tabbed to dance in Moscow Ballet performance Each year, more than 6000 children nationwide take to the stage alongside the Moscow Ballet professionals and participate in the Great Russian Nutcracker.

In Wabash, the Moscow Ballet “Dance With Us” cast performed their ancillary roles on Friday, Nov. 1, at 7:30 p.m., at the Honeywell Center.

The ballet students who study at ballet schools in the area, auditioned for Moscow Ballet Audition Director Olga Pasternak this past fall and rehearsed at The Dance Experience

Company, which was the Moscow Ballet Host Dance Studio.

The children’s roles were as party children, small mice, little snowflakes, snow sprites, snow maidens, and Act II’s Variations of world’s five great heritages in the Land of Peace and Harmony.

The experience of auditioning for a professional, rehearsing with the company, being fitted in Moscow Ballet costumes, and performing for a live audience of a thousand or more is often a once-in-alifetime experience for these children.

Act I “Dance with Us” student dancers were: Party Children: Hadley Summer, Abriella St. Martin, Lyla Guthrie, Justyne Kirkpatrick, Ashlynn Berndt, Anne Horban, Daisy Till, and Makenna Miller.

Little Snowflakes: Camille Coffman, Sophia Lynch, Ryleigh Drudge, Hudson Brown, Aubrey Denney, Addison Dinkins, Arabella West, and Braya Coo. Act II “Dance with Us” student dancers were: Spanish Variation: McKenna Miller and

from home or come back to SHIP for help enrolling if that is the decision.

Clients who take the more expensive medications have sometimes found they can save hundreds of dollars.

Local trained volunteers have helped clients evaluate Medicare insurance at Living Well Winchester Senior Center since the SHIP program began approximately 30 years ago.

These counselors can also explain Medicare and insur-

ance to those who will soon reach the age of 65.

“It always makes us feel so good when a client’s eyes light up with the discovery of significant savings, or when people new to Medicare say that they now have a better understanding of how it works and what their options are.

That’s what keeps us taking training every year and volunteering our time,” said Brenda Landis, Coordinator of the SHIP program at Living Well.

People can schedule

an appointment by calling Living Well Winchester Senior Center at 260-563-4475 and telling the receptionist they want to schedule an appointment with SHIP. They will be given a date and time and called the business day prior as a reminder.

Ms. Landis stated that clients should bring their new Medicare card and either a list of all medications and the dosages or the actual prescription bottles the day of the appointment.

NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r U n i v e r s i t y announced it is adding programs in the health sciences and others with strong potential, but will also be making faculty and staff cuts, in a press release Tuesday, Oct. 29.

“We are pivoting toward programs that prospective students want,” said President Dave McFadden in the release. “Today’s high school students and their parents are looking for a place that offers a clear return on their investment, whether that’s a goodpaying job right after commencement or acceptance into graduate school.”

that Manchester is also working to add a Master of Science degree in nutrition and nutrigenomics, which studies the relationship between a person’s DNA, nutrition and health, according to the release.

Manchester also recently launched a master of accountancy degree and a data science bachelor’s degree and moved the master of athletic training program to the Fort Wayne campus. The school is also seeking accreditation for a bachelor’s degree in nursing.

“We are investing in programs that have the potential to grow,” McFadden said. “That means reinventing some existing majors and ultimately phas-

ing out others.”

In order to invest in the changes, M a n c h e s t e r announced that two faculty positions are scheduled for elimination at the end of this academic year and three will end at the end of the 2020-21 academic year.

Six staff positions will also be eliminated at the end of January 2020 and the school will free or eliminate some positions through attrition and some positions and offices will be consolidated over time according to the release.

Those whose positions will be ending were notified Tuesday.

“Because of the faculty reductions, we expect that some

majors will be phased out,” McFadden said.

“Faculty committees are currently reviewing the latest information to identify what the next steps will be.

All curricular changes require faculty approval before they are implemented.”

If any major is identified for closure, students who are currently in that major will be able to complete it, but no new majors in that area will be accepted after the decision is made.

“The changes we are making – in academic programs and staffing – will keep us competitive for this and future generations of students,” McFadden said.

Norse stun Knights

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com

The Northfield Norsemen started the 2019 football season with an 0-4 record that included a 20-6 loss to Southwood on Sept.

13. Since that loss, the Norse have won seven straight contests, including a stifling 146 win over the Class 1A No. 3 Knights Friday, Nov. 1. “[Our guys] did exactly what we told them to do,” Northfield coach Brandon Baker said after the game. “We had to attack on offense and our defense up front did their job.”

Sticking to the offense the Norse have utilized all year, they ran the ball and ran the clock on the opening drive of the game.

Quarterback Levi Fulkerson, who finished the game with 109 yards on the ground on 37 carries, led a steady and deliberate Northfield offense in its opening drive.

Starting at their own 38-yard line, Northfield rushed on its first eight plays.

They took to the air on a fourth and five play when Fulkerson hit Graydon Holmes for six yards to keep

the drive going.

After five more rushing plays led to a fourth and two on the Southwood six-yard line, Fulkerson pitched the ball to Holmes who found the end zone with 4:27 left in the first quarter.

The extra point from Trent Osborn made it a 7-0 Northfield lead.

“We told them that getting three yards a play was enough,” Baker said. “The clock would keep rolling and our offense stays on the field. In all my [18] years of coaching, this was the best execution of that.”

Southwood didn’t flinch on its opening drive with a similar offensive approach.

After a big kickoff return by Elijah Sutton gave the Knights the ball on its own 49-yard line, Southwood chipped away with a combination of short runs and passes.

Facing a fourth and six, Knight quarterback Alex Farr was picked off by Seth Forsyth, but a face mask penalty on Northfield gave the ball back to the Knights.

Four plays the later, Southwood faced a fourth and 10 on the 10-yard line, and Farr found Carson Rich in the end zone for a touchdown with just

over 30 seconds left in the first quarter. The failed extra point kept the score 7-6 in favor of Northfield.

Northfield once again went to the ground on its next possession, driving the ball to the Southwood 33-yard line in eight plays before Southwood recovered a fumble, but the play was called back on an offside penalty.

Four plays later, Connor Rich picked off a Fulkerson pass, giving the back to the Knights with 7:20 left in the fist half.

Both teams possessed the ball twice in the final 7:20 of the half, but it was Northfield who capitalized on a Southwood mistake to take the lead.

Southwood lined up to punt on its own 34yard line, but the snap went over Farr’s

head. Both teams scrambled for the ball and Northfield’s Braden Ripplinger came up with it at the nine-yard line with 2:09 left in the half.

On Fulkerson’s third rush of the short drive, he scored from one yard out with 14.9 seconds left, and Osborn’s extra point took the Norse into halftime with a 14-6 lead.

Both defenses tightened up in the third quarter with only Southwood reaching the red zone once.

The teams traded punts throughout the fourth quarter until Fulkerson ran the ball six straight plays to put the ball on the three-yard line with 1:58 left in game, setting up a field goal attempt that could make it a two-possession game.

Instead, Osborn’s field goal attempt was

wide-left from 22 yards out, giving Southwood life.

Taking over on the 28-yard line, Farr hit Dawson Filip for 13 yards, Carson Heath for 11 yards and Gabe Lloyd for three yards to put the ball on the 48-yard line with 30.3 seconds remaining.

With 25.8 seconds left in the game and the ball on the Knight’s 49 yard line, Farr found Jackson Simons for eight yards to keep the drive alive.

After three straight incomplete passes, Southwood had one last shot on fourth and 10 with 2.8 seconds remaining.

Farr heaved the Hail Mary to the end zone but the pass was incomplete to end Southwood’s previously undefeated season. It was the second straight undefeated season that ended in

the sectional for the Knights.

“We were never able to get the offense going,” Southwood head coach Dave Snyder said.

Northfield’s Baker commended his own defense for holding the Knights to one score, the first time Southwood didn’t reach 20 points all season.

“Upfront, the defense did the job,” he said. “We held the number-three team to six points. It was a fantastic effort.”

With a tight game comes tight statistics where Northfield accumulated 191 total yards and 13 first downs compared to Southwood’s 152 yards and 12 first downs.

Along with Fuklerson’s 109 rushing yards, Jarret Shafer ran for 40 yards on eight car-

ries, Holmes rushed for 14 yards on four carries, and Alex Haupert produced 12 yards on three rushes.

Holmes and Forsyth each had one reception.

Southwood’s individual statistics were not available.

N o r t h f i e l d improved to 7-4 on the season and will host Class 1A No. 4 Adams Central (10-1) Friday, Nov. 8.

The Norse and Flying Jets have two common opponents this season with Northfield losing to Bluffton 24-20 and defeating North Miami 23-12, while Adams Central topped Bluffton 33-7 and advanced to the sectional championship game with a 48-22 win over North Miami.

Sweet won the Three Rivers Conference meet as well an eighth-place finish at semi-state, a first-place finish at regional and a runner-up result at sectional.

Wabash’s Vogel ended his high school cross country career with a 92nd place finish at state with a time of 16:50.7.

How to prepare youngsters for their first hunting trip Metro Creative

A young person’s first hunting trip can be an incredible experience, sparking a lifelong love and appreciation for nature and wildlife. Parents who grew up hunting likely remember their first hunting trip and want to recreate that experience for their own children.

As memorable as a first hunting trip can be, parents of current youngsters might not recall all the pre-trip preparation their own folks did to make that first hunting experience so memorable.

Such preparation can ensure today’s young-

sters enjoy the same magical experience their parents did when going hunting for the first time.

• Make sure kids are ready. Kids’ maturity levels merit consideration before taking them hunting for the first time. Children may experience a range of emotions on their first hunting trips. Such emotions can include excitement, nervousness, sadness, and/or guilt.

Parents should assess their children’s maturity levels prior to announcing a trip to make sure they’re ready for that emotional roller coaster.

Kids mature at their

N.O. Problem Seamless Gutters FREE ESTIMATES

Gary Nose, Darrin Oliver, and Steven Nose owners

own pace, so assess each child individually, resisting the temptation to assume one child is ready at a given age because an older sibling was ready at the same age.

The American Forest Foundation recommends parents first take their youngsters along as hunting apprentices, which allows them to participate in the rituals of the hunt while their parents can gauge how mature they are to handle the hunt itself.

• Make sure kids can handle their guns.

Wide Open Spaces, a website devoted to providing up-to-date

information for hunters, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts, notes the importance of kids knowing how to use their guns before they go hunting for the first time.

Kids should know how to load and unload, check the chamber and turn the safety on and off. Kids should be confident with their guns, feeling comfortable

enough to pull their firearms to their shoulders, get the gun’s sights on the animal and pull the trigger.

• Temper youngsters’ expectations.

Hunting is a rewarding hobby, but also one that requires a lot of work. Weather also can be unpleasant during hunting season, and that can quickly spoil youngsters’ impressions of hunting. Temper kids’ expectations in advance of a hunting trip so they know it won’t necessarily be all fun. In addition, let children know many hunting trips end without a kill.

• Focus on the fun factor. The AFF notes that surveys indicate that young hunters are more excited to have fun and enjoy quality outdoor time than they are by the prospect of bagging and taking home a trophy animal.

Parents should focus on the fun and the beauty of nature when taking youngsters hunting to ensure kids have as good a time as possible.

Some pre-trip preparation on the part of moms and dads can make youngsters’ first hunting trips successful.

Classic Ciabatta Special Equipment: 2 baking stones or cast-iron skillets

BIGA Prep Time: 20 minutes; Rise Time: 6 hours; Bake Time: 20 minutes Yield: Approximately 2 1/3 cups 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast (0.75 grams) 1/4 cup warm water (2 ounces / 60 grams) 3/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons spring water (7 ounces /200 grams) 2 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (11.6 ounces /330 grams) olive oil, for the bowl In the bottom of a mixing bowl, stir yeast into warm water and let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir remaining water into yeast mixture then stir in flour, 1 cup at a time. If mixing by hand, stir with a wooden spoon for 3 to 4 minutes.

By stand mixer, beat with paddle at lowest speed for 2 minutes; or by food processor, mix just until a sticky dough forms.

Transfer biga to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at cool room temperature for 10 to 24 hours, or until it has tripled in size.

(For sourdough-flavored bread, allow biga to rest for 24 to 48 hours or even 72 hours.) Cover and refrigerate or freeze biga until you are ready to use. (If refrigerated, biga must be used within 5 days. If frozen, let biga rest at room temperature for about 3 hours until it is bubbly and active again. Due to expansion, it is best to weigh the biga, rather than measure by volume. However, if you do measure by volume, be sure to measure the biga when still chilled.

BREAD Prep Time: 30 minutes; Rest Time: 4 hours; Bake Time: 20 minutes.

Yield: Makes 4 loaves 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (3 grams) 5 tablespoons warm milk (2.7 ounces /76 grams) 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons water (10 ounces/ 285 grams), room temp 1 tablespoon olive oil (0.5 ounces or 15 grams) 2 very full cups ripe biga (17.5 ounces /500 grams) 3 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (17.5 ounces/ 500 grams) 1 tablespoon salt (0.5 ounces /15 grams) Cornmeal

HOMETOWN TABLE

THE PAPER

Anyone who loves bread knows ciabatta, a unique bread that I feel God created especially for bread-lovers. Thank you, Lord!

Made using a biga starter, which gives this bread a special porosity and a rustic, country texture along with an elegant, aromatic taste, We can thanks the long rising period of the biga for helping this bread develop all its wonderful attributes, including the release of extra flavor from the grain. Bigamade loaves also remain fresher longer and taste sweeter than those made with large amounts of commercial yeast.

In Italy, bakers simply use dough from the previous day’s bread-making as their biga to start a new dough. However, since a first biga needs to come from somewhere, a recipe for one is included below.

Lighter in texture than its homely shape would indicate, ciabatta offers a chewy interior and slightly crunchy crust that makes this bread all the more delightful!

Pronounced “chah-BAHT-tah,” with the “ah”

sound on every syllable, its dough can be tricky to handle only because it’s a wet dough and as such will stick to your hands, your work surface, and anything it touches. In fact, if your dough is not like this, it means you need to add water because the wetness of the dough is vital for both the rise and amazing flavor and crunch!

For optimum results, use a recipe that allows you to weigh the ingredients because measuring cups can cause inconsistencies that can affect baking outcomes. If you must measure by volume, first pour ingredients into a bowl, stir to aerate it, then scoop it into measuring cup, especially flour.

Since wet dough won’t stick to wet hands, be sure to have a bowl of water nearby so you can dip your hands in the water before handling dough. Dip any tools in water as well.

Here now is an easy way to help you say “Ah, Ciabatta!” the rustic Italian way.

! a t t a b a i C Enjoy!

An absolutely heavenly bread, ciabatta is so unique that I personally feel that God created especially for bread-lovers! Food stylist and photographer: Laura Kurella

In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir yeast into milk and let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Add water, oil, and biga then mix with paddle attachment until blended.

In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt and then add to the mixing bowl. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes then change attachment to the dough hook and knead for 2 minutes at low speed. Raise speed to medium and mix for 2 more minutes. The dough will be very sticky. Remove from mixer and knead briefly on a well-floured surface, adding as little flour as possible to the dough, working the dough to the point where it is still sticky but beginning to show evidence of being velvety, supple, springy, and moist. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature until doubled, about 1 1/4 hours. The dough should be full of air bubbles, supple, elastic, and sticky. After rising, with wet hands, turn dough onto a generously-floured surface and cut it into 4 equal portions with wet knife. Roll each portion into a cylinder, then stretch each cylinder – with wet hands - into a rectangle about 10 by 4 inches, pulling with your fingers to get each portion of dough long and wide enough. Generously flour 4 pieces of parchment paper placed on peels or upside-down baking sheets. Place each loaf, seam side up, on a piece of parchment. Dimple the loaves vigorously with your fingertips or knuckles so that they won’t rise too much. Let rise until puffy but not doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. About 30 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 425 degrees and slide two baking stones on the center rack to heat or flip some large cast-iron skillets upside down and bake the bread on their bottoms. Just before baking the bread, sprinkle the stones/pans with cornmeal. Carefully invert each loaf onto a stone/pan. If the dough sticks a bit to the parchment, you can leave the paper and remove it 10 minutes later. Bake for a total of 20 to 25 minutes, spraying the oven three times with water in the first 10 minutes. Transfer the loaves to wire racks to cool.

A group of kids in costume and witch Tami Overman at the Halloween Trunk or Treat fun time the Urbana Yoke Parish Church on Oct. 28.

Urbana Yoke Parish Church had a fun time with the kids of Urbana this past Monday, Oct. 28. The church held a Trunk or Treat get together in the grove which started around 5 p.m.

Over 120 people were there to enjoy the festivities. Kids, some old and some very young, donned their costumes and showed up to enjoy all kinds of activities like corn hole, apple bobbing, painting pumpkins and a costume contest that was held at two different times.

There were 13 prizes given away for best costumes. The food was chili, hot dogs, caramel corn, cup cakes and donuts all supplied by different church members.

I myself tried several different chilis and found I really liked the one chili I tried first.

The kids had fun trying to figure out what in the world was in the three cauldrons. The cauldrons were covered so you could not see into them. You were to stick your hand into them and guess what you were touching.

Now get this, I found out that one had mini marshmallows- not bad, one had cooked spinach with its slimy dark green leaves. I don’t like spinach, never did and never will, EWWWWW terrible. The third one, well I don’t even want to think of what was

in it.

The kids, big and small, had a blast with everything that was going on.

The Best Halloween Trunk or Treat display went to Tami Overman, congratulations. The kids and

the bigger ones (adults) found it to be a lot of fun and they really had a nice evening for the event.

Stephanie Stambaugh wants to thank everyone for their help in making the Trunk or Treat a fantastic fun time. Now that the kids had all this candy and the parents are pulling their hair out because their kids are so wired with a sugar high, they can do it again on Halloween.

Happy Halloween- be safe and Enjoy.

The church will be hosting the November Ultrea on November

10th. If you have been on the Brethren Way or the Emmaus, contact Ed Fitch if you would like to help with this. The church will need 10-12 people to help make this a success.

We also want to thank

the Urbana Lions for the use of the Community building, the people who worked the drive and the American Red Cross and the crew they provided was a great team. Those who donated, we want you to know that you have done a great service and your cont. on page 16B
