Reliving a nightmare
Mother of slain children discusses the day her world collapsed Editor’s Note: This is the second of a three-part series based on interviews with Shane and Brittany Ingle, parents of Alivia Stahl and Xzavier and Mason Ingle. The three Fulton County children were struck and killed in October 2018 while crossing the road to board their school bus. The first part appeared in the July 31 issue of The Paper of Wabash County, and the third part will appear in the Aug. 14 issue. By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com ROCHESTER — October 30, 2018, was far from your normal day in the Ingle household. Shane Ingle was off to work at Matthew Warren Spring in Logansport. His wife, Brittany, was running behind. “That morning was so off,” Brittany says, sitting on the couch in her living room, a blanket on her legs to help ward off a cool breeze created from an overhead ceiling fan. “Normally I’ve got my coffee and we’re ready to walk down (to a tree near the bus stop). I wasn’t all the way dressed yet, but we had time.” However, her daughter Alivia was anxious to get to school and was pestering her mother to let her and her twin brothers, Mason and Xzavier Ingle, walk to the spot where they wait for the school bus. Brittany relented. It was a decision that still haunts her today. For in a short time later, Alivia, 9, and Mason and

Second in a series Xzavier, 6, were dead, three of four children struck down by a vehicle as they were crossing State Road 25 to board the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation bus to take them to Mentone Elementary School. The fourth child, Maverick Lowe, was critically injured in the accident. Brittany and her husband, Shane, agreed to sit down with Hometown
Media representatives to discuss their children, their life since the accident, their work on strengthening the state’s law governing the passing of a school bus, and their work with the newly created MAXSTRONG Foundation.

Underwood joins reporting staff of The Paper of Wabash County Mandy Underwood has joined The Paper of Wabash County staff as a news reporter. She joined the staff on Monday, Aug. 5, replacing Josh Sigler who is moving to the Mishawaka area. “I know Mandy will be a good fit with the staff,” Editor Joseph Slacian said. “A Wabash County native, she knows about the county, its history and its people.” Underwood will be covering the Wabash City and Metropolitan school districts, as well as the police and fire beats. She also will be writing feature and general interest stories. Underwood is originally from
North Manchester, where she grew up helping out on her family’s Angus cattle farm and participating in theatre, tennis, and 4-H. During high school, Underwood interned at the North Manchester NewsJournal. Underwood attended Ball State University, graduating in 2018 with a degree in English with Professional Writing. During college, she was involved in The Christian Campus House, and was a part of many writing projects that were either published or used for city wide presentations. After graduation, Underwood
took off on a twomonth road trip where she traveled solo around t h e United MANDY States, UNDERWOOD taking in the sites of many National Parks and new cities. Ultimately, she said, she decided that Wabash County was home, and now resides in Wabash. Underwood enjoys crafting, reading, cooking, and spending time with her family.
candy. “To a kid that’s a big deal,” Brittany said. “She was begging me to go. I gave into her.” She allowed Alivia and the twins to leave the house and stand near the tree, about 20 feet away from the bus stop on State Road 25, with a neighbor woman and her daughter. Brittany told Alivia to let the neighbor – who was already standing there waiting with her children — know she (continued on page 7)
Wabash teenager invited to World Martial Arts Games By David Brinson news@thepaperofwabash.com Trystin Music and his family are hosting a golf scramble to help raise money, so he can compete in the 2019 World Martial Arts Games in London, England. The golf scramble will take place at Honeywell Golf Course, Saturday, August 31, with 4-person teams at a $60 entry fee per person (with lunch included). They are also seeking sponsors, displaying logos at the course for $75. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Trystin to go to
London and represent America,” Valerie Music, his mother, said. “He has trained really hard, every day, just to get there. To have the support of our town would be great.” Trystin, 15, is an upcoming sophomore at Wabash High School. He is quiet and polite. He constantly blushes as his parents and sensei (his martial arts instructor) compliment him. On the street, he’d just look like any other teenager. Few people know about his passion, and most are surprised when they hear he is on the USA martial arts team. Music (continued on page 10)

Lieutenant governor takes tour of City of Wabash By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch toured the City of Wabash on Wednesday, July 31. Crouch, who spoke earlier in the day to the Warsaw Rotary Club breakfast, stopped in Wabash while en route to Noblesville for a tour
of that city. She was greeted outside by Mayor Scott Long, who gave her a quick tour of City Hall, introducing her to various people around the building. “I’m visiting one of the greatest cities in the State of Indiana and certainly a leader when it comes to community revitalization,” she said during
a brief interview inside City Hall. “It’s an Indiana Main Street organization; a Stellar Community which recognizes the ability to come together and collaborate and partner to be able to really take their community to the next level. “It was just exciting for me to be able to come and be able to
witness and see all the investment that has been made here in Wabash as a result of the Stellar Community, but also by the private sector here in Wabash. I’m ready to go and see what they have done to revitalize their community and take it to the next level. Crouch and Long took a driving tour
Mayor Scott Long and Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch chat outside of City Hall on Wednesday morning. The mayor and the lieutenant governor and her staff toured the city, looking at the various projects made available through the Stellar Community Grant project. Photo by Joseph Slacian around the city, looking at several of the projects made possible after the city was named a Stellar Community in 2014. Some of the projects seen were the Rock City Lofts, the façade rehabilitation program downtown, work at the Eagles Theater and work along the 13-15 corridor. The lieutenant governor praised the Stellar program. “We think it’s extremely important,” she said. “There aren’t a lot of Stellar communities in Indiana. To be a Stellar community is a very competitive process. You have to demonstrate the ability to come together as a community, stake-
holders, and be able to lay out a vision for your community. But then you have to have a plan as to how you’re going to achieve that vision. “As I said, there’s not too many communities that are designated.” In the program’s first six years, two communities were selected as a Stellar Community. This year, only one is being selected. “It’s a very select group of communities that are actually designated Stellar in the State of Indiana, and Wabash is one of those very special communities. It really empowers our communities to be able to come together and take their communi-
ties to the next level.” Long was pleased to be able to give a tour to the lieutenant governor. “I think any time I have an opportunity to get the higher elected state officials in the community, it is a benefit,” he said. “For Lt. Governor Crouch to come and see for herself the things we are doing, not just seeing photos, it lets her know that we are moving forward and might be the difference between getting future awards and grants from the state agencies under her umbrella. This holds true for the governor, who I am trying to get up here to visit also.”

About 250 youngsters received backpacks and other needed back-to-school supplies on Saturday morning during the Back to School Bash at the Wabash High School gym. Sponsored by the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program in conjunction with more than 20 other local programs and organizations, the youngsters received free backpacks filled with supplies based on grade level. They also were able to receive free clothes and free haircuts if needed or wanted. The Wabash County Health Department was on hand to provide back to school vaccines for those who needed them. In addition, a variety of other community programs and organizations were represented to provide students
and parents with a variety of other information on services available to them throughout the school year. “Everybody is really happy with the way it’s gone, so I’m happy.,” Dee Joy, director of the Wabash County CASA program, told The Paper of Wabash County. “We’ve had some suggestions for next year, of course, but overall it’s been great.” Most of the free clothes were gone by late morning. Those families who didn’t receive clothing received vouchers to get free clothing at the
Lighthouse Mission. In addition, The Access Youth Center officials planned to pass out more backpacks on Monday evening for those who were not able to make it to the Back to School Bash. Agency officials reported all but about 20 backpacks were distributed from their supply on Saturday. They set aside about 100 more backpacks to be distributed Monday. The public appreci-
ated the event, Joy believes. “The comments I’ve heard have been pretty positive,” she said. “They thanked us for doing all this. They loved having this in one spot to do everything. They appreciated all the information available, having haircuts and stuff right on site. There’s a lot of positivity. “Hopefully we can do this again next year and make it grow.”

Kiwanis fundraiser brings in $1,600 for Riley hospital The Wabash Kiwanis Club’s Bucket Brigade fundraiser for Riley Children’s Hospital on Saturday raised the most money in the event’s history in 13 years. The 23rd annual event for the Indianapolis hospital took place from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Saturday, July 27, at Walmart of Wabash, Kroger of Wabash and Wabash Hardware & Rental. Members of the local Kiwanis Club stood outside of the three area storefronts with buckets in hand for customers to drop change or cash donations into them. Including donations dropped into buckets on Saturday, contributions from club members and additional money mailed to the club from the community, an even $1,600 was raised for Bucket Brigade this year. That’s the most money raised by Wabash Kiwanis since 2006, when it raised $2,162.61 for Riley. One-hundred percent of the donations collected will go directly to Riley Children’s Hospital. The funds raised for Riley from the Wabash Kiwanis Club since 1997 now stands at $39,974.73.
“The Wabash Kiwanis Club is very appreciative of the community for donating to Riley Children’s Hospital,” Mike Keaffaber, chair of the Wabash Kiwanis Riley Bucket Brigade campaign, said. “We also appreciate the businesses who allowed us to collect the funds in their storefronts.” Organizers would also like to thank Midwest Eye Consultants for sponsoring the Club’s Bucket Brigade T-shirts this year, along with the Northfield Key Club for volunteering to help. For more than 90 years, there’s been a deep relationship between the Kiwanis Indiana District and Riley Children’s Hospital, dating back to before the hospital’s doors were even open to Hoosier children. The state district has pledged to raise $1 million to support Riley’s neurodevelopmental and behaviors centers initiative, which focuses on providing local community-based screening, diagnosing and treatment for young children with autism and related disorders.

A Wabash City Council member would like the city to begin cracking down on those who place large objects for disposal on tree lawns during unauthorized times. “It seems like
there’s more and more houses putting furniture, trash and junk on their lawns,” Council member Mitch Figert said during the July 22 City Council meeting. “I know Kipp (Cantrell, Code Enforcement Officer) and Jim (Straws, Building Commissioner) have been good about sending letters and ticketing. “We talk a lot about how to improve the city. We’re making our streets clean, we’re putting new parks in. To me it’s a huge issue, and I
would love to see the city be more aggressive whether it’s through new ordinances, new policies.” Property values and quality of life in the city is directly related to such eyesores, Figert contended. “And it frustrates me because a lot of these are rental properties, people who are making an income off our residents but at the same time not caring for their properties,” he said. Mayor Scott Long said the matter is being discussed in the Northeast Indiana
B u i l d i n g Commissioners Council. “Jim is exploring what some other cities have in place to deal with it,” Long said. “There is a statutory process to follow. We’ll go through the steps and have to bring them into court. We’ll deal with it.” The mayor suggested that possibly the city’s Street Department could clean up such sites, with a bill for cleanup and disposal being sent to the property owner.

T Thank hank You for Supporting our Troops HONORING OUR HEROES SPONSORS First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your sponsorship to Honoring our Heroes and American Huey 369. 49 veterans were able to take Honor Flights in a Vietnam era Huey helicopter this year. 151 veterans and active duty personnel have taken Honor Flights to date because of your enormous support as sponsors. One hundred percent of your sponsorship went to American Huey 369, funding both the 49 Honor Flights and to the building fund for the National American Huey History Museum which will be the only one of its kind in the United States. Secondly, we would like to thank each individual and all businesses that contributed in any way to this event. Honoring our Heroes would not be possible without your support! We would like to thank each and every patriot that attended to show respect and Honor to those that served and currently serve our great country. We are blessed and humbled to be part of this special event and to witness the healing power of American Huey 369 over the past three events and once again in 2019. When veterans are around these aircraft, it can bring back a lot of their past which can be painful. We have seen and talked to veterans that did not know if they could emotionally handle taking an Honor Flight. Once they hear the sound of the blades, something changes and they hear the sound of hope. With the courage within themselves and the courage from other veterans, most end up taking an Honor Flight and let the healing process begin. Many of us have witnessed this healing with numerous veterans and their families. Whether it’s the first, second or third step, we see this at every event and this is what we hold dear to our hearts! If you were unable to experience this event, just know how much Honoring our Heroes means to our veterans, active duty personnel, their families and the many patriots that attend. Thank You again for being part of this event. We are forever grateful to all that have served and those that currently serve our great country and we will never forget those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom!

Richvalley UMC members impacting the world one tenderloin at a time Editor’s Note: The following story and photos appeared in the United Methodist Churches on Indiana publication. It is being reprinted here with their permission. By Leintz Belony United Methodist Churches of Indiana Local fairs are known for impacting their local communities, but how about the world beyond? For over 20 years, Richvalley UMC, located near Wabash, Indiana, has used the proceeds from its tenderloin booth at the Wabash County Fair to help strengthen missions that impact communities around the world. The tenderloin trailer had humble beginnings. “We started in a tiny little trail-
er,” said Vickie Thrush, Richvalley UMC member, and tenderloin volunteer, “There was hardly room for all of us to stand in there, and we had to bread the tenderloins somewhere else.” Through consistent upgrades over the years, the church is now able to serve tenderloins from a larger trailer, in which thousands of pounds of pork tenderloins are hand-breaded, deepfried, and prepared for sale each year. Customers have the option of purchasing fries and a drink and enjoying their meal in a shaded picnic area next to the trailer. Proceeds from tenderloin booth sales have gone to support United Methodist institutions such as Africa University, Red
Bird Mission H e n d e r s o n Settlement, Midwest Mission Distribution Center, Helping Hands, FISH Food Pantry, and many other missions and organizations across the U.S. and around the world (see list below). Richvalley UMC even supports a missionary couple currently serving in Africa. Randy Thrush claimed, “I think this week we’re going to gross around $35,000. We have a lot of expenses in that. But it’s likely $10-15,000 will go to missions.” The church raises the bulk of its earnings during the week of the annual county fair. At the end of the year, the mission evangelism committee allocates the funds to different missions

and needs that have been shared with a member of the church or directly with the committee. Patty Cooper said, “We keep 20 percent to keep up the facilities, then we divide up the remaining 80 percent and give it away.” She continued, “To be able to give that kind of money, we could never do that out of our own pockets. It’s a huge ministry opportunity for us.” As customers approach the cash register, they were greeted by Kathy Baker who has been a member of the church for over 30 years and serves on the mission evangelism committee. Kathy shared that the church has a strong mission focus, and they feel called to give
as needs arise from within the community. They recently made donations to the family of a young boy and an older church member who were battling cancer to help cover their expenses. “It’s such a blessing to be able to do that,” she said with a smile. “We had a guy come up the other day and said, ‘Is there any way you can feed me? I have no money.’ Our pastor happened to be around and he replied, ‘Absolutely, we’re Christians, that’s what Christians do.’ And since then we’ve continued to lift him in prayer,” said Nancy Eviston. Due to a decreasing number of church members and volunteers to work the booth, the church has recently begun part-

As she served customers their drinks, Nancy stated, “This takes a lot of manpower. As our church gets older, we don’t get a lot of new members, so it has become a struggle.” “They [Lagro UMC] have more younger people and that’s what’s saved it because we don’t want to close. We love it,” she added. Kathy said, “Members from their church come and work, and we pay
their church. We give them the money, and they’re able to do what they want with it. It’s not a huge amount, but it’s a ministry to them.” Recently, the church began a new form of missional giving to help meet the needs of people throughout the community. Members of the church were given $50 grocery gift cards and were encouraged to give them away when they come across people who are having trouble feeding themselves or their families. “We offer them to (continued on page 11)

Reliving a nightmare would be out in a few minutes and the two adults would talk about trick or treating plans, as Brittany was going to take the friend’s daughter with them when they went trick or treating on Halloween night. Before the children left, Mason showed his mother two dog tags, each with a different cross on them, that the boys had received the weekend before during a Halloween event at a local church. “Mason was standing right here,” Brittany says, pointing to a spot just inches away from

where she was sitting, “and he asked, ‘Which one do you like better, Mommy?’ I was sitting here, half awake, and said, ‘This one, because of the cross. He said, ‘OK,” and put the other one down and took his dog tag.” As the children left, Brittany instructed Selena, her eldest daughter, to watch from her parents’ bedroom window to make sure the children arrived safely at the tree. Selena was staying home from school that day as she had a doctor’s appointment. A few minutes

The accident The bus normally arrived about 7:15 a.m., but was a few minutes early that day. Eating a bowl of cereal and watching from the window, Selena saw the youngsters walk toward the bus stop. A few seconds later, she heard a crash and screaming, and she, in turn, began screaming. “I ran,” Brittany says, “I had no socks or shoes, but I was running. I seen the line of cars. I seen the bus; all the lights were activated. I was screaming ‘What happened?’ I heard someone say call 9-1-1. I assumed the bus maybe got rear-ended like it had before. I didn’t expect to turn the corner and walk into that.” Brittany saw a neighbor, cuddling Mason in his arms, screaming “Who the (expletive) did this?” It was then, she says, she froze. “I feel like I went into shock,” she says, now sitting alone on the couch. Shane, not wanting to relive the event through the conversation, left the room and went into the couple’s bedroom and closed the door. He later went outside
to stand on the porch. “I just couldn’t believe what I was walking into,” Brittany continues. “My son, Xzavier, literally looked like he was laying down to take a nap.” Xzavier was lying on the road, head pointed in one direction. Mason was placed next to him, his head at Xzavier’s feet. Brittany ran to the twins and began checking for pulses, but couldn’t find any. “When you walk into that …” her voice goes into almost a whisper. “I had forgotten all about Alivia.” Brittany remembers seeing other children standing at the scene. “They said, ‘There’s two more over here.’ Then,” she says, snapping her fingers, “I was like, ‘Where’s Alivia? Alivia would never have left the boys. Where’s Alivia?’” Alivia, according to Brittany, was thrown 87 feet from the crash site. She and Maverick, who was thrown a little further, were lying in a ditch on the side of the highway. Brittany ran to Alivia and immediately began feeling (continued on page 8)

Reliving a nightmare for a pulse. She said she felt a faint pulse, and asked a neighbor to stay with Alivia while she went back to where the boys were. “How do you get yourself everywhere?” she asks, rhetorically. “I couldn’t just scoop them up. I felt so helpless because I didn’t want to scoop them up because I didn’t want to hurt their necks in case they were OK. You just have to hope.” Before she could get back to the twins, their bodies were being covered with sheets. “I remember going over there and yanking the sheets off them and screaming for them to at least try,” Brittany says. ‘I remember shouting at them, ‘Where’s the paddles to shock them?’” Within minutes, the friend who was with Alivia was making her way toward Brittany, screaming. “I look over and they’re covering my daughter up,” Brittany continues, the room quiet except for the whir of the overhead fan. “I ran over there and ripped the sheet off. At this

They just went above and beyond. “We didn’t have the strength to go and clean out their lock-
ers and stuff. One of the teachers packed things up nicely in an office box. They didn’t just stick everything in a Walmart bag. I absolutely admire the two teachers from Mentone Elementary.” The couple also praised Jeri Good, Fulton County coroner and a funeral director at Good Family Funeral Home. (continued on page 9)

He said he learned of the accident from Selena, who called him, and was hurriedly making his
way back to Rochester from Logansport. He was the one who later identified the children’s bodies at the scene.
The funeral The children were laid to rest in a private service. A public calling took place 10 days after the acci-

buried together in a large casket, Brittany says, “they’re resting together forever.”

THE PAPER

Reliving a nightmare “She has been the greatest champion for our family,” Brittany says of Good. “As a parent, when you’re going through something that tragic, she is not only the best coroner, but the best funeral director to have. She is going to be thorough. She talked to us about everything. She let me come see my kids after the autopsy. … She let me have that closure. She didn’t have to, but she did.” Good planned the funeral, trying to make the situation as easy on the family as possible. “She did such a good job in planning the service,” Brittany says. “She picked everything, from the balloons to the flowers on the casket. She took everything we told her for the obituary and got to know our kids through that. She just made it really come to life and went above and beyond.”
The aftermath Brittany Ingle, from some in the court of public opinion, was blamed for the tragedy that befell her children. “I got blamed a lot because I wasn’t down there,” she says, a look of pain and disgust on her face. “But there was another parent out there. To be honest with you, where I would have stood, I don’t know if I would
have seen (the vehicle coming) because there’s a trailer in the way.” Because of the blame she received, she deactivated her social media accounts. “I don’t do well with social media,” Brittany says. “I needed to take a break. I’m not strong enough to ignore it, and I always have to have the last word.” Just as the family is thrilled with the assistance they received from the children’s teachers, they are equally disappointed with the reaction from the school corporation as a whole. The accident, they believe, could have been easily prevented, but the corporation took no action following an accident several years ago at the same location. “The fact is that there were incidents before this that were reported,” Brittany says. “Three years ago someone slammed into the back of a bus. I called the superintendent and they would not move the bus (stop into the trailer court).” However, a similar sized bus has been coming into the trailer court for two years to pick up a special needs child, the family notes. “I got into it with the superintendent,” Brittany continues. “How is that fair?
How can you pull a bus in for one child, but you have all these other kids? “Fast forward to this. The next day they decide to pull in the bus like it was nothing. What a slap in the face.” The parents also say they received no condolences from anyone in the district, except for the children’s teachers. “It would have meant the world to have the superintendent just say, ‘I’m sorry for your loss,” Brittany says. District officials, the parents believe, were fearful anything they might do could have been used in any future lawsuits against them. The family did sue the district and, at the advice of their attorney, would only say that the matter has been settled out of court. “Our disappointment,” Shane says, “we had to separate it and not take it out on the teachers that were really supportive.” Charges were filed against the driver of the vehicle, Alyssa Shepherd. She was charged with three counts of reckless homicide, Level 5 felonies, one count of passing a school bus causing injury when the arm is extended, a Class A misdemeanor, and criminal recklessness resulting in serious bodily injury, a Level 6

...continued from Page 8 Felony. Shepherd, according to news reports following the accident, told investigators that she didn’t see the school bus or children until it was too late. She pled not guilty to the charges and has been released on bond. A jury trial is scheduled to begin in Fulton County on Oct. 15.
Memories of the children The family has tried to keep the memory of their children alive in a variety of ways. The children’s pictures adorn many walls and other spaces, such as the refrigerator in the kitchen. The school pictures – received by the family after the accident – hang over a love seat in the living room, framed poems in which each line starts with a letter of their name, hang below the portraits. Below the portraits the word MAXSTRONG – the name of the foundation the family has started in honor of the three – is stenciled on the wall. The boys bedroom has been turned into a memorial, where Brittany says she goes from time to time to sit by candlelight, snuggling the children’s pillows and breathing in their scents that remain on the fabric. One of the boys’ pillows even
has his fingerprint on it from where he touched it after eating chocolate. In front of the trailer court is a memorial dedicated to the children, placed there by Brittany. Three small angels with the children’s names on them stand in the mulch placed in the spot, dubbed MAXSTRONG MEMORY LANE. Stuffed
animals, flowers, three crosses and other odds and ends the children enjoyed also are there. Brittany also has a special piece that she will likely cherish for the rest of her life – the dog tag that Mason wore the day of the accident. “That dog tag means the world to me,” she said. “I
never realized when I picked it out that it had scripture on back of it. I never noticed it when I picked it out.” Inscribed on the back is Psalm 119, verse 105, which reads: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.”

World Games seems to enjoy being underestimated. “I know what I’m capable of,” he said. “It’s about knowing, even if no one else knows.” He began practicing karate in kindergarten, due his family had a strict “one activity” policy. He wasn’t interested in any of the usual sports but found himself fascinated by action movies and their choreographed fight scenes. “I guess what piqued it was a lot of
movies that I watched, I thought Bruce Lee was really cool,” Trystin said. “I remember telling Dad pretty close to the beginning that I wanted to be a black belt, because I was a kid and didn’t know how hard that would be. I just wanted to be the best.” Once Trystin started training, his whole family slowly fell in love with it as well. Trystin’s mother is a brown belt with aspirations to be their sensei’s first female black belt. His father

...continued from Page 1 is a second-degree black belt. “What kept me in it was Mom, Dad, and sensei. There have been a few times I’ve wanted to quit. I was like ‘Man, this sucks. I suck. I’m not going anywhere.’ But you got to persevere through that,” he said. The family has gotten their share of strange looks for the visible bruises on their arms and their tendency to start playfighting in supermarket aisles. “We’ll practice in
the kitchen, sometimes we’ll do that out in public, like out in Walmart and stuff. People start grabbing their phone all worried,” Trystin said, laughing. “We’ve done it in line just ordering food,” his father said. “Sometimes it gets a little carried away.” Their sensei, Michael Castro, has trained the family since they were just beginner white belts 11 years ago. It didn’t take long for Castro to notice Music and his work ethic.
Trystin Music and his father, Thomas, practice for the upcoming World Martial Arts Games. Photo by David Brinson “I saw something in him from the very beginning,” Castro said. “I knew he was going to be a black belt at some point. Trystin is much older acting than his age. My sensei would have never have allowed a junior black belt to teach his students. I do not have a problem with Trystin teaching my students, because I know he will teach them correctly.” Their particular style of fighting is called “Shuri Ryu,” which is an aggressive, offensive brand of karate. Music has black belt class twice a week plus the two
nights he teaches, along with the monthly regional team practices. They train in the Millner Printing Building, although those commuting through Wabash will sometimes see them training outside in the old donut shop parking lot next door, fully dressed in their white uniforms. The money raised at the golf scramble will go toward all the flights, hotels and gis (uniforms) needed to attend. Castro described The World Martial Arts Games as “the closest you can be to being in the Olympics, without
actually being in the Olympics.” It’s a world event and will feature almost every style of martial arts, unlike in the Olympics where only a few select styles are chosen. When he gets to London, Trystin most looks forward to meeting new people and exploring the city. “I like going and observing the other styles, I like talking to people of different ethnicities,” he said. “If I have free time, I’d probably just start walking around. It would be the coolest thing ever.”

Jan 8, 1924 – Aug. 3, 2019
Kathleen Sue (Barrus) Lewis went home to be with the Lord on Friday, Aug. 2, 2019, at the age of 77. Kathleen, more commonly known as Sue to her dear friends, and Susie by her immediate family, was born in Wabash, Ito James and Pauline (Grimm) Barrus on Sept. 12, 1941. She was the oldest of three daughters born to the Barrus brood followed by younger sisters Carol and Debra. Sue grew up in Wabash and graduated from Wabash High School in 1959. She married Robert J. Lewis in 1964 and had two sons, Michael J. Lewis born in 1965 and Matthew J. Lewis born in 1975. Her first job after high school was with General Tire. She later worked for several years as a secretary for Honeywell prior to moving to South Florida in 1972. While living in Florida, Sue worked for S&C Supply prior to getting a job with the City of Fort Lauderdale Police Department. Sue thoroughly enjoyed her tenure with the police department and was the secretary for the chief of police prior to her retirement in 2005. After she retired Sue enjoyed several hobbies including spending time with her many friends (especially the ladies from her church small group - Daughters of the King), going to church, eating out, shopping, traveling, movies, reading, board games, and “collecting” music boxes and dolls. Sue’s greatest joy in life was her family. She loved family gatherings; whether it was spending time with her mother and step-father, attending family reunions, or special celebrations with family on a smaller scale. Sue especially loved her three grandchildren Hayley M. Lewis, Samuel S. Lewis, and Reilly M. Lewis. No matter what the family function, Sue was always there to enjoy all the time she could with those she cherished most. Sue was a very loving mother, a caring friend, a kind soul, and a generous person. Sue was always dependable and would drop what she was doing to help out both family and friends alike no matter what the hour or sacrifice to herself. Although she suffered from several debilitating medical conditions, she never openly complained or failed to be in a cheerful spirit. She was deeply committed to the Lord and firm in her faith, salvation, and final home (heaven). Sue was proceeded in death by her parents James Barrus and Pauline (Barrus) Stone, her step- father Frank Stone, her younger sister Carol Barrus, and her ex-husband Robert Lewis. Sue is survived by her sons Michael J. Lewis (Marny) and Matthew J. Lewis; grandchildren Hayley M., Samuel “Sammy” S., and Reilly M.; as well as her older halfbrother Edward Barrus (Karolyn), and sister Debra “Debi” Spivey (Don), and several nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. Although her presence here on earth will be greatly missed, we have the assurance the we will see her again one day, as Sue knew and trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior. A celebration of life memorial service will be held on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019, at the Fred Hunter Funeral Home located at 2401 S. University Drive, Davie, Fla. 33324. Calling hours will be from noon until 2 p.m. with words from our pastor beginning at 2 p.m.

City shows off Stellar projects to state officials By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Officials from several state agencies toured the City of Wabash on Friday during a “Stellarbration.” The event was designed to show off the various projects made available around the city thanks to its being named a Stellar Community in 2014. The officials, from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the Indiana Department of Transportation and more, visited the Rock City Lofts, toured the Eagles Theatre, saw the results of the façade refurbishing program in downtown Wabash and the improvements along South Wabash Street. The tour ended at Friendship Hill, the city’s inclusive park, where a private showing took place for the officials as well as for select donors to the project. During the park visit, former Mayor Bob Vanlandingham and current Mayor Scott Long were among those who spoke during the 45minute ceremony. “The road to Stellar wasn’t always easy,” Vanlandingham said. “In fact, it was rather rough and bumpy at times, kind of like South Wabash Street.” To get people interested in investing in a community, the former mayor said he was often told, a community needs a vibrant downtown. “People who want to come in and invest want to know what kind of schools you got?” he said. “Well, we’ve got great schools, great churches, the sports complex, golf course, Honeywell Center, two reservoirs. We
have a lot of things, but something was missing. We just couldn’t seem to get people involved and that was because we didn’t have a vibrant downtown.” After J.P. Hall became director of Wabash Marketplace Inc. — a change requested by the city, Vanlandingham noted – things began to change. More people became interested in downtown and the revitalization began. “Facades started changing,” he said. “Things started getting better a lot faster.” In 2013, the city was a finalist for the Stellar program, but failed to win. “I was really t i c k e d , ” Vanlandingham said.
Shelly Myers speaks during the visit by state officials to Friendship Hill, the city’s inclusive park. Photo by Joseph Slacian The city then studied the program, revamped some areas, changed other areas, and won in 2014. “I was extremely, extremely proud of this community and what that group had d o n e , ” Vanlandingham said. “And if you look around today, I want to tell you, I’m more proud of what this
community has done … I really appreciate Stellar and what it’s done for this community. But what I’m really most proud of is the changes in attitudes and what it’s done for this community.” The inclusive park almost didn’t happen, as OCRA didn’t fund parks. However, the agency later gave the

city $200,000 toward the program, and the city contributed another $200,000. Another $1.2 million was raised through private donations. “I want to say,” Vanlandingham said in conclusion, there isn’t anything this community can’t do with an attitude like you have now. Don’t get complacent and let it slip.” Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County,
discussed some of the economic impact Stellar has had on the community before Shelly Myers, one of the driving forces behind the inclusive park, spoke. She thanked the two mayors for believing in her idea, as well as those present who made major contributions to the project. She also discussed how the idea for the park began, thanks to a video about a similar project in
Portland, Ore., and dreamed about such a park her son, Cason, and other special needs children could enjoy. She shared her idea with her husband, Brian, as well as Sam and Shelly Hipskind, who also have a special needs child. Hipskind approached Todd Titus while Myers spoke with Vanlandingham, and it was decided to (continued on page 19)

Saturday, Aug. 17, at 7:30 p.m. Since the early 80’s, 1964 The Tribute has thrilled audiences all over the globe with what Rolling Stone Magazine calls the “Best Beatles Tribute on Earth.” The band takes its audiences on a musical journey to an era in rock history that will live on forever. 1964 is hailed by critics and fans alike as the most authentic and endearing Beatles tribute in the world. Choosing songs from the 60’s, 1964 astonishingly recreates an early live Beatles concert, with period instruments, clothing, hairstyles, and onstage banter. Over 25 years of researching and performing has made the members of 1964 masters of their craft. Founded in 1984, the
band features Mark Benson as John Lennon, Mac Ruffing as Paul McCartney, Tom Work as George Harrison, and Bobby Potter as Ringo Starr. Benson once stated, “We had no idea when we first started this band that it would lead to us performing at so many of the venues The Beatles played, like Carnegie Hall, Red Rocks Amphitheater, The Deauville Hotel, Shea Stadium, and The Cavern in Liverpool.” The concert is sponsored by 105.9 The Bash and Bickford Assisted Living of Wabash.

Without their time this project wouldn’t have happened.” People wondered, she continued, how such a park could cost $1.6 million. “There are just a lot of costly things,” she said. “But I think you can see it was well worth it.” The completion date on the project was originally October 2018, Myers noted. However, there have so far been 170 rain days to delay work at the site. “Despite all of those setbacks, by August, sometime, the fence be gone, the gates will be open and everyone will be free to come in here and play,” she said.

I cannot wait to drive by here and see people playing because of what you all helped me do.” Jodi Golden, director of the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, called the park “an amazing facility.” She also congratulated the entire community of Wabash for being a real Stellar community. “You’ve done an amazing job,” she said. “I have no doubt you will continue to be a Stellar community.” Long updated those present about the projects, noting that the barrels along South Wabash Street have been removed, street lamps for the roadway are coming,
noting that the Nebraska factory in which they were made was underwater because of flooding in the Midwest. He said that with the conclusion of the Stellar projects, he wanted to look ahead to the future. The city has formed a committee to look at projects that were discussed but not included in the Stellar program. “Are they still viable projects?” he asked. “Do we still want to complete them? And if we don’t let’s take them off the table and let’s plug something in. “We’re thinking five, 10, 15 years down the road. The key is to grow our population and try to draw our young people back to the community.” He said he realizes that young people, once they graduate college, are going to go to Indianapolis, Fishers and other larger communities. “But I keep telling them, when you want to start a family, what can I build now that’s going to draw you back to Wabash?”
Long said. “So, we partner with Wabash City Schools and Metropolitan schools to make our school districts better so they want to bring their kids here for their education. That’s how we evolve.” The city is a star in the state of Indiana, the mayor continued. “I’ve had the mayor of Tipton n my office,” he said. “I’ve had mayors from around northern Indiana in my office. And I tell them, steal our ideas and take them back and implement something that you see here. If you’re
successful, Indiana’s successful, and we lead the Midwest.”

Laketon Auxliary honors charter member Article provided
LAKETON — Gwendolyn Dixon, the only living Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Charter member, was honored by Unit No.402, during the American Legion 100th anniversary dinner earlier this year. Gwendolyn (Flora) Dixon was born Oct. 30, 1918, one of seven children. She was raised on a farm in Huntington County. She married Lewis Dixon of Laketon in 1941. Shortly after Louie left for the Air Force, Gwen moved to Burbank, Calif., and worked as “Rosie the
GWENDOLYN DIXON Riveter” in 1942 and 1943. The couple returned to Wabash County in 1945 and each became charter members of The American Legion and Auxiliary of the Sunset Post No.402,
chartered in 1947. Gwen was elected the unit’s third president in 1951 and served as an active member before moving to a small farm near Wabash. A few years later she moved her membership to Wabash Auxiliary Unit No.15, where her sister, Jean Leakey was an active member. Gwen became a licensed cosmetologist in 1958 and opened a salon in her home where she enjoyed the customers and being home to raise their two children. She retired from the business after 25 years in
1984. Now, at the age of 100, she and her sister, age 93, enjoy sharing their condo in Wabash. She, also, enjoys visits from family, that includes two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, playing cards, attending an afternoon program or a game of euchre at the Winchester Senior Center. She and Jean are always ready when family, friends and/or church members offer to take them to a program or dinner. They recently attended a show in Marion, “The King and I”.

How does classroom design impact learning? Adults who think back to their time in the classroom may remember arrangements of rows of desks and industriallooking seating. Classroom design was built around students facing the chalkboard, and teachers typically placed their desks at the front of the room to keep an eye on their students. Such arrangements have steadily been on the way out as classroom environments are changed to promote learning. According to the education
resource The Professional Learning Board, different classroom arrangements have their own benefits and drawbacks. But the liberty to alter classroom layouts means teachers can experiment with what works for their teaching styles and which arrangements benefit their students. While rows may enable educators to see all students and keep them focused, students in the back may miss out and/or lose focus. Circle arrangements work
well for class discussions, enabling all students to congregate around the teacher and participate in the conversation. “Circle time” is a frequent component of pre-school and early elementary school lessons because it directs focus on the teacher and feels more intimate than laying the room out in rows. Group seating is another arrangement teachers may explore. Desks are arranged so they form small tables. Students can work collaboratively and discuss assignments. However, maintaining focus may be challenging when students are facing other students and may be more likely to chit-chat among one another. A study involving fourth graders in Germany investigated whether certain seating arrangements promoted greater student part i c i p a t i o n . Traditional rows and a semicircular layout were studied. Children in the semicircle asked more questions, but in both layouts, chil-

‘Tis the season for school and lice As the school year begins anew, lice often becomes a subject of conversation among concerned parents. In certain areas, such as in classrooms and locker rooms, lice easily can be transferred from person to person. Understanding this common foe can help students avoid it and parents recognize it when it’s present. A louse is an ectoparasite, meaning it feeds on its host while living on the surface of the host’s body. Although lice can affect various parts of the body, they are most notably present on the scalp. Research indicates that head lice have been spreading among humans for millenia. Ancient Egyptian and Greek
books of medicine make reference to lice, and they have even been found on prehistoric mummies. No one is quite sure just how lice originated, though it is suspected they once targeted another host species, but then adapted to living among humans. Unlike lice that congregate on other parts of the body, head lice are not a vector for disease transmission. They are relatively innocuous, but can be quite a nuisance. The insects are adept at clinging to human hair and feeding on blood from the scalp. Anyone can get lice, regardless of their personal hygiene or lack thereof. Schoolaged children between the ages of four and 14 catch lice more frequently than
adults. Although firm data on lice infestations is difficult to come by, estimates suggest that as many as 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States among children between the ages of three and 11. Head-to-head contact with an alreadyinfested person is the most common way to get head lice, offers the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Head lice can be spread when people sit closely to one another, such as in a classroom or theater. It is very rare that lice are spread through shared belongings such as hats, combs or on furniture. Pets do not play a role in the spread of head lice. Lice tend to congregate behind the ears
and at the neckline at the back of the head. Sometimes, they can be found on the eyelashes or eyebrows. Lice can be difficult to detect, and they may not produce symptoms. In some instances, itching and irritation may be so mild that it goes unnoticed. Plus, because eggs (nits) and even adult lice are so small, they can be difficult to identify. Treating lice typically involves using specialized combs to remove nits and lice. Pesticide shampoos and lotions or nonpesticide treatments may be used to eradicate the lice. Limiting head-tohead exposure is the best way to avoid a lice outbreak.

Berry Wise! www.thepaperofwabash.com
There is no better way to taste summer than by biting into a freshpicked berry and no other berry offers a blue hue loaded with amazing health benefits like that of the blueberry! With studies showing us that consuming blueberries can help maintain healthy bones, lower blood pressure, help manage diabetes, ward off heart disease, prevent cancer, improve mental health, aid digestion, help with weight loss and even help fight off wrinkles, its one berry we all should be eating. My favorite nugget of knowledge about blueberries was that they have found that it can help support cognitive function. Published in the 2017 European Journal of Nutrition, researchers reported that daily consumpLaura tion of about one cup of fresh blueberries showed positive changes in cognitive function. The research, which was conducted at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, concluded that the blueberry-supplemented group showed significantly fewer repetition errors than the placebo group and also had fewer errors in taskswitching tests as well, which is an important component of executive function, a brain component that also guides thought and behavior, so that’s

Adding fresh-picked blueberries to just about any dish will make it more amazing – ah! Photos and recipes courtesy of the Blueberry Council
Grilled Chicken with Blueberry Relish huge. However, this benefit has now been eclipsed by a 2018 study done by researchers from the University of Missouri-Columbia, which has confirmed that blueberry extract not only enhances the effects of radiation therapy – one of the most popular treatments for cervical cancer – but is even more successful than radiation at destroying cancer cells. The University of Missouri research team wanted to investigate the use of blueberry extract as a radiosensitizer – a non-toxic, natural substance which enhances the efficacy of conventional cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy. The team previously had success treating prostate cancer using a polyphenol in red grapes called resveratrol as a radiosensitizer To their surprise, blueberry extract not Kurella only proved to be a powerful radiosensitizer, but was shown to be an even more effective cervical cancer treatment than radiation. Given how easily attainable blueberries are and that a mere cup a day is all that is needed to gain its protective and healing benefits, it is only logical that anyone who wants to support cognitive function and so much more would be very quick to become berry “wise” very soon! Here now are some beautiful ways to boost both flavor and health with blueberries. ENJOY!
2 1/2 cups frozen blueberries 2 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary, divided 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup blueberry preserves 4 medium sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tbsp olive oil 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper Add blueberries, 1 tbsp of rosemary, balsamic and blueberry preserves into a pan Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes until the liquid has started thicken. Crush the blueberries with the back of a spoon and set aside Preheat grill to high Drizzle olive oil over chicken and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the chicken. Serve on a large plate and top with the blueberry relish and the remaining chopped rosemary Number of servings (yield): 4-6 servings Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 14 minutes
Blueberry Barbecue Glazed Ribs 2 racks ribs 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 1-1/2 teaspoons paprika 1 tablespoon salt 1-1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder Blueberry Barbecue Glaze Ingredients 1-1/2 cups honey BBQ sauce 1-1/2 cups frozen blueberries 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke Dry the ribs with paper towels. In a medium bowl, mix together all dry rub ingredients well. Press rub onto both sides of rib racks. Tightly wrap each individual rack with tin foil. Place in a single layer on
a large rimmed baking sheet and let sit in fridge overnight. Preheat oven to 300°F. Bake foil wrapped ribs on baking sheet for 2-1/2 hours. During the last half hour of cook time, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine BBQ sauce, liquid smoke and blueberries. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Use a spatula to break apart some of the blueberries. Cook another five minutes. Let ribs cool, and then remove foil. Discard juices. Brush ribs generously with sauce reserving some for serving. Broil ribs for five minutes or just until the tops are nicely browned. Serve with additional sauce. Number of servings (yield): 2 racks of ribs
Blueberry Chicken Chopped Salad 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salt and pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 head Romaine lettuce, finely chopped 1 pint (2 cups) fresh blueberries 1 cup roughly-chopped toasted pecans 2/3 cup diced red onion 1/2 cup blue cheese (or any soft cheese) Dijon vinaigrette (see below) Dijon Vinaigrette 1/3 cup olive oil 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 teaspoons honey 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Pinch of salt and black pepper To make the salad: Season chicken breasts on both sides generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Transfer chicken breasts to a separate plate and let rest for at least 5-10 minutes. Then chop into small, bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken to a large bowl with the lettuce, blueberries, pecans, red onion, blue cheese, and vinaigrette. Toss to combine. Serve immediately. To make the vinaigrette: Whisk all ingredients together until combined.
