Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Registering to vote in the Nov. 3 General Election ended on Monday, and early voting in Indiana began on Tuesday.

In addition, the Wabash County Clerk’s office has received more than 1,500 requests for absentee ballots this year, Clerk Lori Draper told The Paper of Wabash County.

As of Sept. 30, she said, her office has mailed out 1,688 requests for absentee ballots. That is up substantially from 2016, when the office mailed 384.

“So, we have already had a significant increase,” she said. “This is largely due to COVID-19. One causes of the increase is we cannot hold voting at our three nursing homes that we have used as polling locations in the past and the residents at these homes must vote by absentee.

“We have also had an increase in voters over 65 voting by absentee who have told us they are not going to the polls because of COVID-19.”

Last week, a federal judge rejected Indiana’s noon Election Day deadline to receive absentee ballots, which would allow Indiana voters more time to mail in ballots.

Judge Sara Evans Barker’s ruling means absentee ballots postmarked on or before Nov. 3 and received on or before Nov. 13 must be counted.

Common Cause Indiana argued that the noon deadline constituted “an undue burden on the fundamental right to vote” during the pandemic, court records show.

Draper declined to comment on the judge’s ruling.

As far as early voting goes, there were 5,513 early ballots cast in the 2016 election.

Draper is uncertain what this year will bring.

“If more people are voting by absentee mail this could decrease this number but I am uncertain,” she said.

Here are the hours and locations for early voting: Monday thru Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Early voting ends at noon Monday, Nov. 2.

The clerk’s office also will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, and Saturday, Oct. 31.

The office will be closed on Monday, Oct. 12, for Columbus Day. On Saturday Oct. 24, voting will be available at the clerk’s office, as well as at: Town Life Center, 603 N Bond St., North Manchester.

The Manchester Pap Party will be held on Tuesday, October 27 from 5:307:30 pm at Manchester Parkview PPG Clinic, 1104 N. Wayne St., North Manchester. No income requirements, no insurance card, no appointment needed.

Just come.

Additionally, 85 HOPE will host “Mammo Month” in October and offers

From Oct. 1-31, women may walk-in at either 85 HOPE Free Medical Clinic office during open hours to pick up an order. 85 HOPE Wabash is open Tuesdays 1-5 p.m. and Thursdays 1-8 pm. 85 HOPE Manchester is open Tuesdays 3-5 p.m. and first and third Tuesdays 5-8 pm. No insurance

card, no income requirements, no appointment needed to pick up a mammogram order. Just stop by!

Additionally, 85 HOPE will be handing out orders for free mammograms at both Pap parties and at Ohh My! Cakes on Friday, Oct. 23 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Several local organizations help support 85 HOPE’s Mammogram Fund which makes the free mammograms possible.

“We would like to sincerely thank Toni Metzger and Ride for a Cause and Lana Garber and the Annual Honeywell Ladies Golf Association Scramble for their generous support of our

Mammogram Fund,” says Laura Spaulding, Executive Director of 85 HOPE. Spaulding adds, “Part of holistic healthcare for women is prevention and 85 HOPE is pleased to offer free Paps and mammograms to Wabash County women to help prevent cervical and breast cancer.

The crowd cheered for Remi as Clark continued.

“It takes little kids like that and you and the community of Wabash to help us get to the point we are,” she said.

Also speaking at the groundbreaking was Matt Crouch, interim executive director for the Office of Community and Rural Affairs.

“I had planned on not even working today,” he said. “But when I was invited to come to Wabash, one of my favorite communities, and I know at the state we aren’t supposed to have favorites, but Wabash is certainly one of those. Wabash County and this project in particular, with all of the collaboration that is going on from the city and Lighthouse Mission to the economic development to the county to all the countless non-profit groups, it was hard to say no to being here

today. When we are looking for rural communities that are trying to work together and collaborate to make the highest quality of services for their residents, there is no one in the state that is better at doing that kind of work than the city of Wabash.”

Mayor Scott Long also gave remarks, saying that this groundbreaking marks a great night for Wabash.

“We have worked for two and a half to three years to try and locate a new facility for the Mission and seemed like every time we got close, something happened,” he said.

“When this opportunity arose and some people wanted to tear down this building and make it a parking lot, I fought really hard against that in working with Kristi to try and get this building. The benefits to Wabash and Wabash County are going to be well into the future.”

Construction on the new location started Monday, Oct. 5, and is projected to be done by mid to late spring.

3rd generation of Raders now in produce business

By Lori Overmyer Special to The Paper The crisp Fall air and the gentle dew on the pumpkins contrasts with the fragrance of freshpicked cantaloupe and sweet corn at Loon Creek Valley Farms in Banquo.

Easy to find just south of 124 on 105, the colorful vegetable stand lures passersby to stop and revel in the bounty.

Behind the beauty of the early fall harvest is a long family tradition. Current owners Katelyn and Ryan Shuttleworth are the third generation of Raders to offer produce in Huntington County.

Katelyn’s grandparents, Albert C. and Ruby Rader, operated Rader’s Market on Etna Avenue in Huntington from 1938 – 1970.

“Over the years, it

Ruby (pictured above) and Albert C. Rader operated Rader’s Market from 1938-1970. Photo provided grew into a fully developed grocery store with a meat counter and even a laundromat,” Katelyn said.

As with familyowned businesses, the entire family was involved. The Rader’s seven children, Dewight, Delight, Larry, Sue, Patty, Nancy, and Wayne all worked in the store.

Their involvement helped with the

store’s success.

Continuing the family tradition, Ruby’s son Wayne started his own produce stand in 1975 and launched Riverbend Produce at the Forks of the Wabash. Katelyn remembers that she and her siblings contributed in various ways such as selling and caring for the produce and plants.

The market closed in

2000.

By 2011 the Shuttleworth family started growing their own produce.

“I didn’t have a lot of experience with crops,” Ryan said, “but my father-in-law Wayne did, so we started planting.”

At first the family set the extra produce on a table in their front yard. In 2013, they added a wagon for the extras. Then, they had to add a porch, and by 2017 they had a fully operational building with electricity and refrigeration.

And they had fields of crops. Ryan has learned to plant so customers continue to have their favorites throughout the season. For example, Loon Creek will have cantaloupes and sweet corn until there is a hard frost.

“It’s a good thing we have the cantaloupes because people from Indianapolis drive to get ours,” Katelyn said.

Wayne Rader (from left) and Ryan and Katelyn Shuttleworth are the second and third generations, respectively, to be in the produce business.

USDA to provide more help to farmers hurt by pandemic Up to an additional $14 billion is available for agricultural producers who continue to face market disruptions and associated costs because of COVID-19. Signup for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2) runs through Dec. 11, 2020.

“America’s agriculture communities are resilient, but still face many challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. President Trump is once again demonstrating his commitment to ensure America’s farmers and ranchers remain in business to produce the food, fuel, and fiber America needs to thrive,” said Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. “We listened

to feedback received from farmers, ranchers and agricultural organizations about the impact of the pandemic on our nations’ farms and ranches, and we developed a program to better meet the needs of those impacted.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will use funds being made available from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) Charter Act and CARES Act to support row crops, livestock, specialty crops, dairy, aquaculture and many additional commodities.

USDA has incorporated improvements in CFAP 2 based from stakeholder engagement and public feedback to better meet

the needs of impacted farmers and ranchers.

Producers can apply for CFAP 2 at USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) county offices. This program provides financial assistance that gives producers the ability to absorb increased marketing costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Producers will be compensated for ongoing market disruptions and assisted with the associated marketing costs.

CFAP 2 payments will be made for three categories of commodities – Price Trigger Commodities, Flatrate Crops and Sales Commodities.

Price Trigger Commodities Price trigger commodities are major commodities that meet a minimum 5percent price decline over a specified period of time. Eligible price trigger crops include barley, corn, sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, upland cotton, and all classes of wheat. Payments will be based on 2020 planted acres of the crop, excluding prevented planting and experimental acres.

Payments for price trigger crops will be the greater of: 1) the eligible acres multiplied by a payment rate of $15 per acre; or 2) the eligible acres multiplied by a nationwide crop marketing percentage, multiplied by a cropspecific payment rate, and then by the producer’s weighted 2020 Actual Production History (APH) approved yield. If the APH is not available, 85 percent of the 2019 Agriculture Risk Coverage-County Option (ARC-CO) benchmark yield for that crop will be used.

For broilers and eggs, payments will be based on 75 percent of the producers’ 2019 production.

Dairy (cow’s milk) payments will be based on actual milk production from April 1 to Aug. 31, 2020. The milk production for Sept. 1, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2020, will be estimated by FSA. Eligible beef cattle, hogs and pigs, and lambs and sheep payments will be based on the maximum owned inventory of eligible livestock,

excluding breeding stock, on a date selected by the producer, between April 16, 2020, and Aug. 31, 2020.

Flat-rate Crops Crops that either do not meet the 5-percent price decline trigger or do not have data available to calculate a price change will have payments calculated based on eligible 2020 acres multiplied by $15 per acre. These crops include alfalfa, extra long staple (ELS) cotton, oats, peanuts, rice, hemp, millet, mustard, safflower, sesame, triticale, rapeseed, and several others.

Sales Commodities Sales commodities include specialty crops; aquaculture; nursery crops and floriculture; other commodities not included in the price trigger and flat-rate categories, including tobacco; goat milk; mink (including pelts); mohair; wool; and other livestock (excluding breeding stock) not included under the price trigger category that were grown for food, fiber, fur, or feathers.

Payment calculations will use a sales-based approach, where producers are paid based on five payment gradations associated with their 2019 sales.

Additional commodities are eligible in CFAP 2 that weren’t eligible in the first iteration of the program. If your agricultural operation has been impacted by the pandemic since April 2020, we encourage you to apply for CFAP 2. A complete list of eligible commodities, payment rates and calculations can be found on farmers.gov/cfap.

Eligibility There is a payment limitation of $250,000 per person or entity for all commodities combined. Applicants who are corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships may qualify for additional payment limits when members actively provide personal labor or personal management for the farming operation. In addition, this special payment limitation provision has been expanded to include trusts and estates for both CFAP 1 and 2.

Producers will also Continued on page 7

have to certify they meet the Adjusted Gross Income limitation of $900,000 unless at least 75 percent or more of their income is derived from farming, ranching or forestry-related activities.

Producers must also be in compliance with Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation provisions.

Applying for Assistance Producers can apply for assistance beginning Sept. 21, 2020.

Applications will be accepted through Dec. 11, 2020.

Additional information and application forms can be found at farmers.gov/cfap. Documentation to support the producer’s application and certification may be requested. All other eligibility forms, such as those related to adjusted gross income and payment information, can be downloaded from farmers.gov/cfap/apply. For existing FSA customers, including those who participated in CFAP 1, many documents are likely already on file. Producers should

Customers seeking one-on-one support with the CFAP 2 application process can call 877-508-8364 to speak directly with a USDA employee ready to offer assistance. This is a recommended first step before a producer engages with the team at the FSA county office.

All USDA Service Centers are open for business, including some that are open to visitors to conduct business in person by appointment only. All Service Center visitors wishing to conduct business with FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service or any other Service Center agency should call ahead and schedule an appointment. Service Centers that are open for appointments will pre-screen visitors based on health concerns or recent travel, and visitors must adhere to social distancing guidelines.

God has given to Christians the power and ability to all things that pertain to this life and godliness. God works in us to do his work. This ability comes through the knowledge of Christ who has called us to glorify him and live in excellence.

This promise is to every believer and not a select few. It is the responsibility of all believers to make disciples. The strength is found in the knowledge of God

and His very promises to us. As we live within the very promises of God, the divine nature becomes ours and the old flesh is put to death. The question is how does this happen?

Verse 5 tells us for this very reason, we need to make every effort to build upon our faith. God is glorified not just in our new life but also desires for us to grow in our knowledge and walk with him. Our faith is the basis for God to work in us. He tells us to supplement our faith with virtue.

Much like Daniel, we need to have an excellent spirit. It is not enough to just get through life or drag our feet in doing God’s will. Our goal is excellence, even though we struggle often to meet this quality. Then, we add to virtue, a knowledge in God’s word.

We must be students in the truth so we can discern truth from falsehood. But knowledge can be dangerous and needs selfcontrol. Self-control will use the information in a way that brings glory to God. Paul reminds us in Ephesians to speak truth lovingly. Then we add steadfastness to our self-control.

Many Christians get weary, give up and fall away because they do not have patience and fortitude. It is important to stay the course God has led and continue to follow his way. Our goal on the way is godliness which is added to our steadfast. We seek his kingdom and righteousness. To godliContinued on Page 12

Melvin Homer Royer, age 92, a resident of Grace Village, Winona Lake, went to be with the Savior he loved and served throughout his life on Sept. 29, 2020 two days after his birthday, following a significant battle with disease and increasing weakness.

Melvin was born September 27, 1928, in Hartville, Ohio. He was the eldest of two sons, born to Israel Theodore Royer and Minnie Lilly Roth Royer. He graduated from High School in 1947, and then attended Manchester College.

There he met the love of his life, Rosemary, and married her on May 28, 1949.

Melvin, known by his friends and family as Mel, was challenged to go overseas to share God’s wonderful gift of unconditional love and grace.

He joined a growing group of like-minded Christ-followers with the name New Tribes Mission and eventually took his wife and seven children to Brazil, South America. Though language learning was not easy for him, he learned to communicate in Portuguese and then in a tribal language called Karaja.

Through the years he served as pioneer missionary, organizational leader, builder, handyman and spiritual mentor.

His Brazilian and missionary friends were drawn to and inspired by his genuineness and love for God. As one of his co-workers in New Tribes Mission shared in the last few days, “He was our leader, our brother, our friend, our teacher, our encourager. We had a deep love and the highest respect for him. Our lives are much richer because of his life and walk with the Lord. He was talented but humble. He was steadfast. He was genuine. He was greatly used by the Lord in so many ways. Well done, good and faithful servant!”

Most importantly, he loved his wife and seven children well. He served his wife sacrificially in her last years on earth, living out the vows he pledged to her, “in sickness and in health.”

He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Arden Royer; his wife of 68 years, Rosemary Beatrice Smith Royer; and two granddaughters.

Motorists urged to be patient and cautious when approaching large farm equipment on roads Crops across the state are looking bountiful and harvest is almost here.

Farmers will soon be traveling in large slow-moving farm equipment on Indiana roads. To increase roadway safety, we are encouraging motorists to exercise caution and patience when approaching large farm equipment over the next few months.

“When traveling across rural Indiana this fall, we want to encourage motorists to prepare for extra travel time and slow down when approaching large farm equipment,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch. “It is vital that all Hoosiers work together for a safe 2020 harvest season.”

According to the most recent data from

the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2018 farm equipment vehicles were involved in 98 crashes across the U.S., with two farm equipment vehicles being involved in fatal crashes in Indiana.

Farm equipment must have the national designated slowmoving vehicle sign – a red triangle-shaped reflector – to warn approaching drivers that slow moving equipment is on the roads. These vehicles often travel at speeds no higher than 25 mph.

Farm equipment during harvest season could include tractors, combines, grain carts, grain wagons and large trucks hauling agricultural products.

Bruce Kettler,

Indiana State Department of Agriculture director, wants to remind motorists and farmers to slow down, be patient and share the road this fall.

“Harvest season is quickly approaching and Hoosier fields are looking really good,” said Kettler. “We want to encourage farmers and motorists alike to slow down, be patient and share the road.”

During harvest season, motorists are encouraged to leave 10 minutes early and to be aware of alternate routes. It’s important to watch for wide vehicles, especially when approaching hills and curves in the road.

When attempting to pass farm equipment, always look for oncoming traffic.

...continued from Page 8 ness, we add brotherly love and then love.

Why are these qualities important?

If these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. In order to fulfill God’s design for making disciples, we need these qualities and if the church is to be fruitful, it needs these qualities.

The church has work

to do to change and grow in the very image of Christ and see the fruits of labor to come to grow.

When at a crossroad like the church is, we need to make a decision which will bring a consequence or reward. It is not over for the church, but we have work to do.

Rob Mace is the pastor at the Roann First Brethren Church on 240 W. Allen Street. Worship

services are every Sunday at 10am.

Looking for followers of Christ who want to join a bible believing church.

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 Wednesday at 10am to appear in the next weeks paper.

Farmers will pull over for motorists when they are able to, but it may take some time to find a safe place to do so.

At all times, follow the rules of the road: don’t tailgate farm equipment, pass only in designated passing zones and ensure you are following the hands-free driving law.

“As farmers begin to harvest this year’s crops, please remember to be courteous and cautious when meeting farm equipment on the roadways,” said Doug Carter, Indiana State Police Superintendent. “By working together and sharing our roadways, we can ensure we all make it home safely.”

Tenderloin Fry hosted by the Urbana Streetlight Committee was put on Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Urbana Ball Park. The fry went very well and the committee would like to thank the Lagro Volunteer Fire Department for helping the committee with the fundraising

activity. The committee also wants to thank everyone who came out to the fry and wanted to help support the light fund. It also wants to thank everyone who worked with us in the Snack Shack and the ones who sold the tickets outside.

What took place at the fry showed us there are those who still care about what happens to Urbana.

The fire department brought in two fryers and set up frying station on the north side of the Urbana Lions Snack Shack. There they fried enough tenderloin to serve some 148 meals. The Streetlight Committee was able to make enough money to pay for all the supplies, tenderloins and the fire department for their time and still made a little profit for the lights.

I want Urbana to

know that, yes we made a profit to help but it was very little and we still need your help. If you have forgotten to make your donation, no problem, I’m collecting for the rest of the year. The Streetlight Committee would like to thank all of our in town supporters as well as our out of town major contributors.

Bonita and I have worked very diligently to keep the money coming in for the light fund. It has been very hard and a lot of work. We have done everything within our power to raise money. I want to thank all my loyal readers of my articles and if you have an article of interest that you would like to share, email me.

An apology from me to the Lane Keaffaber family for leaving out family names. Lane lives in

Oregon where all the fires are and he helps with fighting them.

His grandparents are Terry and Shirley Keaffaber and his father’s name is Robbie Keaffaber.

Lane is also the stepgrandson of Jim and Carol Krom. Pray for his safety.

Women’s Guild will meet on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2020 at 7pm in the Fellowship Hall. Pat McNabney is hostess.

Urbana Yoke Parish Church: The church board meeting is on Oct. 14 at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Due to the COVID-19 we will not be able to hold our annual “Trunk or Treat”.

This will be a huge disappointment to our community which has been very supportive of this event for the last two years.

The Breakfast Bunch met at Bob Evans Restaurant

September 30, 2020 at 7:30. They get together every Wednesday.

Those attending were: Peggy Dilling , Alma DeVore, Pat McNabney and guest, Karen Goebel from Madison, Wisconsin.

Condolences to Orville Chamberlain Family and friends.

Orville was a Charter Member of the Urbana Lions Club and a good friend to all of us Lion members. He also cared a whole lot about his home town of Urbana. I’ve known Orville for better than 30 years. I did an article on him earlier this year. He will be missed by all who loved and knew him.

He was one of Urbana’s Icons.

NM Rotarians to take orders for wreaths The Rotary Club of North Manchester makes it easy to join in on the spirit of the holidays with live wreaths that give back in more ways than one. Your order will help raise money for the Manchester Early Learning Center and global disease prevention projects for children, including worldwide polio eradication efforts and safe drinking water for schoolchildren in Kosovo.

Rotarians will take orders for wreaths at Neighborhood Fresh on Saturdays, Oct 10, 17 and 24. For local orders, Rotary members will personally deliver wreaths the week before Thanksgiving. You can place an order with any club member or email RotaryWreaths2020@ gmail.com to see photos and get more information. Prices begin at $25 for a 25inch classic wreath.

The club will collect payment at the time the order is placed.

All members can accept cash or a check, and volunteers at the festival and grocery store can also accept a credit card payment. Those who prefer to order online can take part in the fundraiser by ordering a wreath, door spray, centerpiece or tabletop tree at GiftItForward.com and use the fundraising code MANCHEIN002. The company will deliver online orders directly to the recipient. It is

easy to select, order and have a gift sent via FedEx directly to your home, family, friends or business clients between Thanksgiving week and Dec 8. With online orders, prices start at $38.61.

The North Manchester club is collaborating with Mickman Brothers in Ham Lake, Minn. The company specializes in high quality, fresh evergreen holiday decorations for youth groups, churches and other nonprofit groups. After hand cutting and handcrafting its products, Mickman closely inspects every wreath that goes out its doors. If any product arrives in unsatisfactory condition, it guarantees it will replace it at no cost.

A third option for ordering, the Holiday Gift Program, allows customers to fill out an order form, write their personal message on a greeting card and give their payment to a Rotarian to complete the order. These holiday gifts are delivered via FedEx by Dec. 11. For each

Holiday Gift order, Mickman pays to plant a tree in a national or state forest in honor of the gift recipient. To date, more than 750,000 seedlings have been planted in 49 states.

All evergreens for the decorations are harvested in a sustainable manner.

FRANCES SLOCUM CHAPTER DAR TO MEET: Wabash County Frances Slocum Chapter, INDAR will meet Tuesday, Oct. 13, 7 p.m. at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, 1241 Manchester Avenue, Wabash.

FAFSA filing is now open for the 2021-22 school year Hoosier students and families are encouraged to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is now open for the 2021-22 school year.

With over $350 million in state financial aid available, as well as billions of dollars in federal aid, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education reminds Hoosiers that filing the FAFSA by April 15, 2021 is imperative for securing money for college.

Filing the FAFSA is required for many of Indiana’s scholarship and grant opportunities, such as the 21st Century Scholarship and Frank O’Bannon Grant, and many colleges require a completed FAFSA to award merit and need-based scholar-

ships. Students earning a variety of degree types – including short-term certificates, associate and bachelor’s degrees and higher – should file the FAFSA to take advantage of available financial aid.

“We encourage all Hoosiers with an interest in pursuing education and training to file the FAFSA because we know that paying for college is one of the most common barriers to attending,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “We also know that recent unemployment data show Hoosiers without education beyond high school are more likely to be unemployed, so the value of pursuing higher education has never been greater.”

The Commission recently released the 2020 College Equity Report, which includes data on Indiana’s college achievement gap progress and the workforce, shows that poverty has a direct impact on collegegoing rates, as only 38 percent of lowincome high school graduates go to college – lower than the statewide average (61 percent), higherincome peers (68 percent) and low-income peers who are part of the state’s 21st Century Scholars program (86 percent).

“Many Hoosiers fail to file the FAFSA by the deadline because they assume they don’t qualify for any state or federal financial aid. The reality is that there is considerable funding available, especially

for those that demonstrate financial need,” said Lubbers.

“Filing the FAFSA on time is a surefire way to be considered for both state and federal aid opportunities, but you’d be surprised at how much aid is left on the table each year.”

How to file the FAFSA Students can file the FAFSA online at FAFSA.gov. The first step for students who have not previously filed the FAFSA is to create a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID. Then, each student will need: Social Security number Alien Registration number (for non-U.S. citizens) Federal income tax returns, W-2s and other records of money earned Bank statements

and records of investments (if applicable) Records of untaxed income (if applicable) The U.S. Department of Education provides email and live chat assistance for FAFSA filers as well as a helpline at 800-4FEDAID. Hoosier families can also find FAFSA help through INvestEd Indiana at www.investedindiana.org.

Funds available Scholarship and stipend opportunities for aspiring teachers and education majors are also open as of October 1. According to the Commission’s Equity Report, less than 15 percent of students studying for a teaching career in Indiana are nonWhite.

“Students of color are more successful in their education

journey when they have the opportunity to be in the classroom with a teacher who looks like them,” said Lubbers. “We hope to increase the awareness of these programs in order to make real progress for educational equity in Indiana.”

More information about the following scholarships and stipends is available on the Commission’s website: Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship – Provides up to $7,500 per year of college (up to $30,000 total) for top performing Hoosier students who commit to teaching in Indiana for five years after earning their degrees. The deadline to apply is January 31, 2021.

Earline S. Rogers

Student Teaching Stipend for Minorities – Open to minority students (defined as Black and Hispanic individuals) who will participate in student teaching or a school administration internship as part of their degree requirements.

Student Teaching Stipend for HighNeed Fields – Available to students planning to teach Special Education or math at either the middle or high school level. Eligible students can receive up to $4,000 per stipend, or $8,000 if awarded both.

For questions about state financial aid, students can contact the Indiana Commission for Higher Education by phone at 888-528-4719 or via email at awards@che.in.gov.

6 advantages to dining out

Dining out was once a rarity reserved for special occasions.

More recently, consumption of food away from home has played an increasingly larger role in everyday life.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, the increase in dining out since the 1970s is owed to a larger share of two-income households, more convenient and affordable food outlets, increased advertising and promotion by food chains, and the smaller size of most househol One shouldn't discount the wide array of options and the convenience that dining out can provide.

There are many advantages to dining out, and the decision to do so during the pandemic can help local restaurants stay afloat as they continue to confront the challenges of the COVID-19 outbreak.

1. It's fun and exciting Dining out can be a fun and exciting experience that takes people away from the routine of daily life.

Dining out presents an opportunity to look forward to a specific day on the calendar. For many, it can be a respite from making meals at home.

Dining out is a social endeavor, even if you aren't interacting with

that many other people in the restaurant.

2. Introduces new foods Dining at a restaurant can be eyeopening for customers willing to try new things. Restaurants that specialize in ethnic cuisine can introduce diners to classic recipes from around the world - something they may not normally try if they do not dine out.

3. Prolongs the dinner hour Dining out gives diners a chance to linger and converse without the distractions of home and daily schedules. A restaurant can be a good way to focus on communication with family and friends.

4. Escape workplace distractions A workday lunch or business meeting held at a restaurant can help coworkers escape workplace pressures and distractions. Such

meals also can be a great way for managers to foster strong relationships and build camaraderie within their teams.

5. Convenience One of the best arguments for eating out is the convenience factor.

When time is of the essence, making a reservation, eating out and allowing the restaurant to handle everything from service to cleanup cuts down on work at home. This frees up opportunities to do other tasks, including spending time with one another.

6. Variety Many households are comprised of people with different palates.

Restaurants have many offerings, which means that each member of the dining party can choose his or her own unique dish. This is not something easily achieved at home.

Match food to your favorite brews The rise of craft and home brewing has created more beer flavor profiles than ever before. In fact, there's likely a beer for everyone, whether you're a novice or connoisseur.

The Brewer's Association, a trade association that represents small and independent American craft brewers, reports that, in 2018, small and independent brewers collectively produced 25.9 million barrels and experienced a 4 percent total market growth. The BA also states that these small brewers achieved a collective retail dollar take-in of $27.6 billion.

While wine will always have its enthusiasts, beer is fast on its heels as a popular mealtime beverage.

Much in the way wines are paired with certain foods, it has become the natural course of action to pair certain foods with particular styles of beer.

"Beer is a great match for food because of the complexity of its flavors, its ability to provide refreshment and to interact with many food flavors," says Marc Stroobandt, a master beer sommelier for the Food and Beer Consultancy, UK. Although each person has his or her preferences, here is a brief list-

ing of generalized pairings, courtesy of the Brewer's Association and CraftBeer.com. · American Amber Lager: Creamy risotto, wild rice, polenta · American Pale Ale: Game birds, such as duck and quail · Belgian-style Dubbel: Pork chops, sausage, tenderloin · Belgian-style Flanders: Grilled ribeye, root vegetables · Blonde Ale: Chicken, salads, salmon, nutty cheese · Dark Lager: Barbecue, sausage, roasted meat · Hefeweizen: Weisswurst, seafood, sushi · Imperial Stout: Smoked goose, foie gras, strong cheeses · IPA: Spicy foods, curries · Porter: Roasted or smoked foods, blackened fish The Brewer's Association recom-

mends matching delicate dishes with delicate beers and strong dishes with assertive beers.

Commonalities, like aromas and sub-flavors, also work together. A beer with roasted notes may pair well with chocolate, for example.

Opposites also attract, in that a spicy food may taste best when paired with a sweet beer.

Pairing might once have been limited to matching wines with certain foods. But the booming craft beer business has popularized pairing flavorful beers with foods to make meals even tastier.

The food truck industry continues to rev up

Diners interested in trying the latest in fresh, convenient, trendy, local, and eclectic fare are looking for more than just a static address these days. Their favorite food could be on the move.

The food truck industry is growing by leaps and bounds. Food trucks used to be located almost exclusively in urban centers and around construction and industrial sites as a means for workers to grab a fast bite. But today food trucks are turning up everywhere from suburban neighborhoods to college towns. The food truck industry now generates more than $2 billion in revenue in cities across the United States, offers Food Truck Nation, a project of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Clever dishes that can be tested and tweaked in real time and a savvy sense of social media promotion have catapulted various food trucks to popular heights.

Food truck growth is even outpacing overall commercial food service, like regular restaurants.

FoodTruckOperator.com says that food truck growth is now 5.4 percent versus 4.3 percent for restaurants. Food trucks provide more affordable options for firsttime entrepreneurs than brick-and-mortar restaurants. Many food trucks businesses require initial investments of less

than $100,000, only to earn as much as $500,000 per year. What's more, rather than waiting for customers to come their way, food trucks can drive right to where their target audience hangs out. Fun branding, instant recognition and good food attract customers and inspire loyalty. Geolocation software enables food truck afficionados to pinpoint just where their favorite food trucks are based on any given day.

Various events, venues and malls offer parking opportunities for food trucks, but many still find most of their customers on street corners and in neighborhoods. Some restaurants are even getting on board, offering streamlined restaurant menus aboard their own mobile food trucks.

Food trucks also are inspiring new business models. Visitors to downtown Duluth, Georgia, for example, can visit Truck & Tap, which is a craft beer vendor that has a special parking area for food trucks alongside the tap room. Each day of the week a different food truck fills the spot. Special beer and food pairings may be suggested.

Diners seemingly can't get enough of food trucks and their convenient and delicious offerings.

Take-out tips when dining at home Although takeout has long been a convenience enjoyed by people around the world, in recent months takeout became a key way for many restaurants to stay afloat when the novel coronavirus COVID-19 forced many to close their facilities to customers.

Restaurants have been allowed to remain open, though they have been forced to change their business models. In a matter of weeks, establishments that were not accustomed to offering takeout quickly reimagined their operations to offer curbside pickup or delivery options.

In turn, many communities promoted movements to help keep restaurants afloat, with some encouraging residents to participate in Takeout Thursdays to patronize struggling bars, restaurants and delis.

Takeout has always provided a respite from cooking meals at home, but it seems especially welcomed during the COVID-19 outbreak. Now more than ever, individuals and families could use a break from cooking three meals per day.

When opting for takeout, consider these tasty tips. · Support small businesses.

Independent restaurants could have a tougher time bouncing back from

reduced sales and income than large restaurant chains. When seeking out food- and beverage-related businesses, lean heavily on momand-pop restaurants, many of which are pillars in their communities. These are the businesses whose owners may have children in your local schools or those who sponsor local sports leagues. · Investigate food safety. Inquire about the safety measures restaurants are taking to ensure food safety. Most restaurants and delivery services are enacting even more safety measures than are required by law. Keep in mind, however, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said, "There is no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with food."

Simple handwashing after touching

food packaging and your food or face may be sufficient. · Learn new protocol. Ask the business what their requirements are for ordering food. Some restaurants will bring the order directly to your car through curbside pickup. Others may enable you to enter the establishment if you are wearing a mask. Delivery only might be the policy at another establishment.

Follow all rules, as they have been implemented to keep you and the business employees safe. · Pay by credit card. When placing an order for takeout or curbside pickup, pay by credit card online or over the phone if that is an option.

This limits how much you and restaurant employees have to handle cards or cash. · Avoid direct handoffs. Ask the counter server or delivery person to put down your order and step away before you grab it. This is an extra step to combat the spread of the virus.

Even as stay-at-home restrictions are being relaxed, takeout figures to remain popular. Certain tips can keep everyone well fed and safe and help bars and restaurants stay afloat.

Get the most out of restaurant leftovers

Local restaurants have taken an especially hard financial hit during the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID19. A recent appeal for economic relief from the National Restaurant Association on behalf of struggling restaurants estimated that the industry could suffer hundreds of billions of dollars in losses due to the outbreak.

In recognition of the vital roles restaurants play in fostering strong communities, many local governments have urged residents to order takeout or delivery if they can afford to do so. Millions of consumers have heeded that call, helping restaurants stay afloat in a time marked by economic uncertainty while appreciating a night or two off from preparing meals at home.

It's easy for home cooks to practice portion control when making meals at home.

But restaurants tend to offer hearty portions, leaving consumers with leftovers at a time when more and more refrigerators are full of containers with previous nights' meals. So what to do with restaurant leftovers? A little creativity might be in order. · Reimagine restaurant leftovers. The Mayo Clinic advises against keeping restaurant leftovers for more than four days, noting that the risk of food poisoning increases after that. If you don't want to eat the same meal twice in four days, try to turn leftovers into something new.

Add fresh vegetables to leftover rice to create a rice bowl that makes a great midday meal. Then use leftover meat and potatoes to create a stew or soup for din-

ner. Add some sauteed seafood to leftover pasta to give the meal a whole new taste.

Reimagining restaurant leftovers into wholly new dishes is a great way to get even more out of meals that might be too big to polish off in one sitting. · "Trade" leftovers. When ordering meals for the whole family, make a game of trading restaurant leftovers for the next day's lunch. If Dad orders chicken parmigiana he can trade it for Mom's beef bolognese. Families can have even more fun by offering side dishes for desserts or sweeten offers with homemade treats or promises to do the dishes.

This is a fun way to ensure no one has to eat the same meal on consecutive days. · Turn leftovers into appetizers or snacks. If leftovers aren't abundant enough to provide for two full meals, or if you simply want to make something new out of what you didn't eat last night, turn leftovers into appetizers or snacks to enjoy while watching a movie. Open a bag of tortilla chips and turn last night's entrée into a tasty dip, or place leftovers out shortly before your homecooked meal is ready to be served. Extra flavor at the dinner table is always welcome, and this approach gives everyone a chance to try each dish.

Restaurant portions can be large, and in this time of takeout that can make it hard to determine what to do with leftovers. Thankfully, there are many creative ways to approach restaurant leftovers so no one has to eat the same meal two days in a row.
