Students beef up Spanish class with bullfight

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com On Thursday, March 27, a Spanish tradition, dating back to 1133, was brought to life at Wabash Middle School. Spanish teacher Abi Armentrout, along with the help from fellow educators Sarah Andrews, Wil Woodruff and Jake O’Neill, created a traditional bullfight, including a running of the bulls, with her Spanish 1 students. “Getting the other teachers on board wasn’t difficult. Mrs. Andrews, Mr. Woodruff and Mr. O’Neill all saw the teaching opportunities for their own classes in the project,” explained Armentrout. “They have each done a fantastic job of preparing their students and contributing ideas to the design and execution of this project. Each of them has been a great partner to work with and brainstorm ideas with,” Armentrout said of her co-workers. The students’ feelings about the project were a different story when she first approached them with her idea. “Initially, they were unsure about the project,” Armentrout told The Paper. “I thought it was going to be embarrassing [when she first told us about it],” (continued on page 2)

TEAMWORK WAS ESSENTIAL Thursday, March 27 during Wabash Middle School’s bullfight. From helping each other get into costume to learning to run in an awkward tandem, the bulls, especially, had to trust their partners in every move they made. Austin Vinopal chats with Brayden Lutz as Blake Jones ties the black cloth around Seth Yeadon to conceal all but his legs for his role as a bull. (photo by Emily Armentrout)

The state-wide event is part of the 4-H Healthy Living Campaign and organizes 4-H participants and supporters for a day of community, fitness and lots of 4-H green. As part of their paid registration, participants received a white t-shirt proudly announcing the event on front and back. The color came into play as participants launched packets of green powder into the air at the start of the run, beginning the process of turning their white shirts green. As they walked and ran around the 1mile course, volunteers continued to turn the runners green, squirting the powder, made of green pigment and cornstarch, out of ketchup bottles as they ran by. As the run continued, some volunteers took a more direct approach, bypassing the squirt bottles by throwing the colored powder at the runners’ shirts. As expected, not much of the powder missed the t-shirts, covering shoes, pants, faces, and hair in 4-H green. Originally scheduled to start at separate times, the 1-mile fun run/walk and the 5K run were combined into a single race due to the cold, icy conditions. Even with the less-than-ideal weather, it would (continued on page 5)

Sparling to retire after four decades in education

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com After 43 years in education, Metropolitan School District of Wabash County’s Chief Academic Officer Lavonne Sparling will retire at the end of the school year. Sparling, who spent all but one year with the district, will be remembered as an innovator in public education. She was a consistent, driving force in moving the district into the future, both as a teacher and as an administrator. After graduating from Purdue University in 1971 with a degree in elementary education, Sparling took a teaching job in Miami County. Shortly after signing her contract, she was offered a position at Lagro Elementary, a school just a mile from her house. She knew that when the next school year came around, she would be at Lagro. She taught fifth grade at that school for several years, during which time she completed her Master’s Degree. “I remember when someone called the school to say our cows were on the road,” she wrote in a short memoir of her time with the district. “Oren Guenin, the principal, and another teacher went with me to get them back to the pasture.” Sparling later transferred to Southwood Elementary where she taught fourth grade. Her favorite memory in education is from her time teaching the fourth grade Indiana history curriculum. As part of the course, the school’s fourth grade students traveled to her farm to experience early Indiana life, churning butter, spinning yarn, rolling logs, fishing in the pond and watching a blacksmith shoe horses in their barn.

Dr. Bradley A. Farlow Optometrist 144 WEST HILL STREET WABASH 260.563.2020 DECIPHERING BETWEEN ALLERGIES AND DRY EYE SYNDROME

Dr. Farlow Everyone experiences the symptoms from time to time; burning, irritable eyes, and/or a sensation that something is actually scratching the eye. The symptoms are chronic for 3 million American women, according to Dr. Farlow. These women suffer from dry eye syndrome. “Tears are essential for good eye health.” Dr. Farlow said. “They lubricate the eye, protect it from infections, and wash away allergens. With dry eye syndrome, the eyes produce too few tears or tears of such poor quality that they don’t stay on the eye, Ironically, some people with dry eye syndrome may actually experience tears running down their cheeks.” Everyone experiences reduced tear production as they age, but women are more prone to dry eye syndrome than men by a 3 to 1 margin. Studies have shown that hormone therapy may increase the incidence of dry eye syndrome, as can birth control pills, blood pressure medicines, antihistamines, and certain antidepressants. “April is Women’s Eye Health Awareness Month and we want women to know there are several options for managing dry eye syndrome,”Dr. Farlow said. Options include: • Lubricating drops that can minimize the dry, scratchy sensation • Prescription eye drops that can improve tear production • Inserts placed under the eyelid that slowly release lubrication throughout the day Dr. Farlow is the owner and practitioner of Dr. Bradley A. Farlow at 144 West Hill Street, Wabash and is a member of Vision Source, the nation’s number one network of private practice optometrists. Founded in 1991, The Vision Source network includes more than 2,700 offices in all 50 states and in Canada.

added Matt Stein. “I don’t know why, but I thought we were going to use a real bull,” said Gage Miller. “I was interested to see how it would work,” added Zoe Denney. This project began for the students back in early February, but the idea began for Armentrout long before she approached the administration. “I wanted to create a cultural experience for the students that they may never get an opportunity to have o t h e r w i s e , ” Armentrout told The Paper. Day one of the project began with students researching the parts they were assigned, after a contest to decide who would be the matador. Research included watching bullfighting videos to learn movements and start

brainstorming costume and prop ideas. The Spanish students, with the help of the art students and Armentrout’s mother, created all the props and costumes used to depict the bullfight. “I feel hands on learning is very effective and I wanted this to be the kind of experience the kids would remember. Project based learning is very important in my classroom because I feel it helps the students have ownership of their learning. It involves them on a much deeper level,” said Armentrout of why the project was so important to the class. The Spanish 1 students, with help from some of Mr. O’Neill’s physical education students, put on a traditional Spanishstyle bullfight, which has an entry parade

Pictured, from left: The bull team of Seth Yeadon and Brayden Lutz, Luke Mattern and the bull team of Austin Vinopal and Kory Fuller. (photo by Emily Armentrout) and three stages. At a trumpet call by Mr. Woodruff, the bulls and runners started their run at the far end of the sixth grade hallway with middle school students and faculty lining both sides of the hall. The students participated in an encierro, or “running of the bulls,” like people would observe during the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona. Following the encierro, students moved into Coolman Gym for the parade and three-stage bullfight. The parade, with music performed by the Wabash Middle School band, is traditionally led by el presidente of the bullfight, portrayed by Jake O’Neill. The picadores, who are

Stage one pits the bull against the picadores, in this case, John Stewart, Kennedy Brackett and Ayden Kocher. The picadores are on horse back during this stage of the fight. Their horses are heavily padded to protect them while the picadores attempt to stab the bull’s neck muscles to weaken the bull for the coming stages. The “horses” used in this bullfight were made completely by Wabash Middle School students. After the bull is weakened, stage two begins, which brings in the banderilleros, (continued on page 3)

Kia Jessee, Kaed Koehler and Tristian Erikson played the banderilleros. The students wore black pants, with gold accents and white shirts, which is traditional garb for banderilleros. They also created their own banderillas out of gift-wrap tubes and tissue paper. The purpose of stage two is to further weaken the bull for the matador to fight. Stage two ended with the bull escaping, being chased down, and returned to the arena. Austin Vinopal and Kory Fuller portrayed the bull running around the arena during the first two rounds. Brayden Lutz and Seth Yeadon portrayed the bull that returned to the arena to fight the matador. Stage three brings in the matador, who has been studying the bull’s movements throughout the first two stages. The matador, Luke Mattern, was dressed in a traditional ensemble of black with gold accents. Mattern carried a sword and the traditional red cape, which is purely out of tradition because bulls are color blind. During stage three, as the bull is weakened, it is also enraged from the repeated stabbing it has received over the first two stages, which causes the bull’s charging to become more dangerous to the matador. The capotes are also in the arena to distract the bull if the matador gets knocked down. Abony Petty, Matthew Stein and Gage Miller portrayed the capotes. El presidente of the bullfight has the special job of deciding if the bull must die or sparing the bull’s life if it fought bravely. El Presidente O’Neill decided to spare the bull’s life. The crowd threw their handmade flowers into the arena afterwards, signifying their appreciation of the matador. Also a part of the project were some of Mr. O’Neill’s students, including Jacob Bruss, Ashley Crist, Nickie Learned, Gabby Nicholas, Austin

Weiland, Christian Stiles, Seth Thomas, and Alec Witaker, with Michael Cordes, Allison Bartoo, Isaac Machette, Emilly Martin, Abi Hobson, and Madisyn DeBoard helping as well. As this project comes to an end and the students prepare for Spring Break, the Spanish I students had words of wisdom to pass on to the coming participants of what Armentrout hopes will be an annual project at the school.

Kory Fuller said, “it might seem boring at first but it gets fun when you actually get into it.” Zoe Denney added, “Just have fun with it. It’s a cool project, you just need to know what you’re doing.” Kia Jessee recommends “practice. Practice by yourself,” and Luke Mattern said, “definitely look forward to [this project], because it was probably the most fun I’ve had all year in this class.” As Armentrout prepares to visit Spain

and attend a bullfight, she hopes to bring more authenticity back to this proj-

ect next year to give her students an experience they will never forget.

Child Abuse Awareness Month kicks-off at YMCA with pinwheels Tuesday, April 8 at 7:30 p.m., communities across the state will gather together simultaneously for pinwheels for prevention ceremonies marking the need to prevent child abuse in Indiana. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and in Wabash County a special ceremony will take place at the Wabash County YMCA. Statewide, DCS is working with local Prevent Child Abuse Indiana councils,

court-appointed special advocates (CASAs) as well as other child advocacy groups and local officials, to unite families, neighbors, professionals and policy-makers in the concerted effort to identify and address the issues that lead to abuse or neglect. “April is a time to celebrate the good things our community does to promote healthy child development, as well as a time to reflect on the work that still remains,” said

basic survival needs like food, shelter and keeping the lights on, it can create stress and hopelessness that escalates into child abuse.” Jason Callahan, Wabash City School Superintendent says, “We all have a role to play in our children’s healthy development. Sometimes it is by taking time to help a stressed family, or to volunteer in the community or to simply take the time to become more educated on the importance of healthy childhood experiences and environments to the successful transition of a child to a contributing member of our community.” There are currently 110 children in need of services in care being served by DCS. On April 8, a special pinwheels for prevention garden will be planted on the front lawn of the Wabash County YMCA, 500 S. Cass Street, Wabash, Indiana. These pinwheels are the national symbol for child abuse prevention. They serve as a visual reminder that all children deserve an equal opportunity for healthy, happy and care-free childhoods. At 7:30 p.m., a short ceremony will highlight the importance of child abuse prevention efforts in the county. Local officials and persons who represent safety of our children will be present. Governor Mike Pence has proclaimed April as Prevent Child Abuse Awareness Month in Indiana. The governor will kick off the Marion County ceremony at the Indiana State House. DCS is committed to protecting children who are victims of abuse or neglect. The agency’s primary goal is to safely keep these children at home with their families by offering appropriate support services. It also manages the child support bureau.

have been difficult to find a kid on the course that wasn’t having fun as they were covered in green head to toe. “I had never even heard of a color run before the state called us,” said Wabash County 4-H Youth Educator Angela Christopher. “It has been a very fun learning experience.” One hundred twenty individuals registered for the event, but the lousy weather kept about 40 at home. Even so, everyone’s registration money will be put to good use. Half will go to a local food pantry as part of the Indiana 4H Take a Bite Out of Hunger campaign. The remaining money will be used to buy new tables on which student projects will be displayed in the 4H building during future Wabash County Fairs. “We do see this becoming an annual event, and there may be another sneaking in before then,” said Christopher. “I was

very happy to see the number of people who came out as a family.” She also hopes that the weather is a bit nicer next time around. Christopher and the rest of the organizers would like to thank Bill Barrows at the YMCA for opening up the complex and allowing them to use the facility. They would like to thank Chad Andrews, the Northfield High School cross country coach for scouting, measuring, and reviewing the course, as well as Jonathan Collins, a junior leader who set up

Sparling to retire after four decades in education ...continued from front page Other fond memories were less planned. She recalled a blizzard in the late 70’s and the resulting announcement from the school’s principal that left staff and students stranded at school overnight. “We laughed at his joke when he said that the Indiana State Police had just called to say the buses could not leave,” Sparling wrote. “The laugh was short lived as we turned around to see students coming back into the building.” But it wasn’t all bad, as teachers entertained students, contacted parents, and scrambled to put something together for dinner, all the while creating an unforgettable memory. She remembers the few students who were picked up by parents being greatly disappointed that they missed the “big adventure.” Cross-country trips as a Science In Motion coordinator left their mark as well. “It’s hard to believe, but for 20 years in a row, every year in June, we were gone

with kids,” Sparling recalled. According to Sparling, Sharp Creek Principal Oren Guenin and teachers Chuck Baer and Jerry Mills formulated the plan to take a bus full of kids to Florida that first year. She was a bit skeptical. “Mr. Brubaker and I were just kind of laughing at them like, ‘They’re dreaming! You can’t take 50 kids to Florida,’ and they started convincing us hat they were really going to do this and they wanted us to do it with them,” she said. “We had only the five of us and maybe one other parent that went with us, and we weren’t very organized.” The first year, the group was so late to each camping location, they never set their tents up during daylight. Supplies were packed in an inconvenient fashion and students brought their own tents, which resulted in a chaotic campground setup process. After that, they got identical tents, which students could set up in seconds, organized

and labeled each day’s food, and packed it in reverse order so it was easy to access. “It was just like clockwork,” said Sparling. “Plus, we had a lot of adults start going with us too, so we had a lot of help.” Eventually, she went back to graduate school, earning a K-12 C o m p u t e r Endorsement and a K12 Gifted and Talented Endorsement. This opened up new opportunities for Sparling and began a chain of

events that would solidify her legacy as an innovator. She became the district’s computer teacher, traveling between its four elementary schools. This was the mid-80s and cutting edge technology had made it all the way to a tiny black screen with green flashing print. Primitive hardly describes the TRS80s she worked with, but they were far more advanced than the room-sized computers she had seen in (continued on page 8)

been working with the England-based film company, Glass Eye Productions, to create an original film entitled “#OurSelfie.” This project is part of a new program offered by the H o n e y w e l l F o u n d a t i o n Educational Outreach Program. #OurSelfie premiered Friday, March 28 at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. Wabash Middle School students worked with Danny Lomax, filmmaker and founder of Glass Eye Production. Throughout this project, students learned about filmmaking from beginning to end. Some students were part of the cast, while others were a part of the crew. Each student involved had an important role to play during the film. They learned about story boarding, scripts, auditions, roles behind the camera and even promotion and marketing. Headed by Teresa Galley, manager of the Educational Outreach Program, with the help of Wabash Middle School teachers Amy Degitz and Natalie Unger, the students began their film proj-

ect with Glass Eye Productions and wrapped in just two weeks. #OurSelfie is a short story about two students who become unlikely friends. Carli, the studious nerd, offers to help Chip, the failing-atmath jock, so that he can continue to play on the basketball team. Chip’s crowd begins to find Chip uncool after the two have developed a friendship. In the end, Chip’s best friend Dwayne has a change of heart, but the mean girls Lola, Heather and Britt, along with another jock, Fred, go on their way, ruling the school, no longer friends with Chip and Dwayne. The movie ends with Chip, Carli, Dwayne and Carli’s friend, Snowball, heading, happily, to have some pizza. Leigha Boggs portrayed Carli, with Trenton Daughtry as Chip and Payton Sodervick as Dwayne. Picabo Saunders played Lola, along with Mallory Hipskind as Heather and Cassidy Flohr as Britt. Maya Benysh played Snowball, and A.J. Price played Fred. The behind-thescenes crew was made up of camera operators, Lydia Ridge and Lindsey Mattern, with camera assistants, Bella Carrillo and Kallen Kelsheimer. Lighting techs were Alexis Burton and Alexis Westendorf, with editors Rob Ford and Alexis Burton. A.J. Price was in charge of props, with Brylee Proctor in charge of music/photography and the slideshow

shown before the film. Hair and makeup was done by Kaitlan Tracy and Lex Wright. Clapper loaders were Bella Carrillo and Kallen Kelsheimer, with Jonah France, Maya Benysh and Camille Kulger as script writers. Artwork was produced by Traydon Goodwin, Grace Schoening and Michael Cordes. Caleb Callahan, Wyatt Davis and Robert Ford made up the production team, which was in charge of organizing the actors, scheduling, and securing locations for scenes. The marketing team consisted of Kallen Kelsheimer, Lindsey Mattern, Grace Schoening,

Traydon Goodwin and Michael Cordes. Student directors, Maddie Helsel and Blayze Shemwell, joined professional directors, Danny Lomax and Ed Faunce. Danny Lomax founded Glass Eye Productions in 2002. He resides in Manchester, England and has worked on many independent feature films. Ed Faunce is the coowner of Glass Eye Productions, USA, which is located in Kokomo, and has been involved in theater, radio and television productions for 40 years. The evening included a question and answer session. A stu-

dent asked Saunders and Hipskind if it was fun to play roles that were so different from their personalities. “It was fantastic. I loved to show my mean side. I know my family probably deals with it at home all the time,” joked Saunders. “It was pretty interesting. Normally at school I’m not mean to people. It was fun and challenging to play someone that is the complete opposite of your own personality,” said Hipskind. Galley asked if the film making experience changed the students’ minds about their future. “For myself, it just helped me realize that (continued on page 9)

Way of Tea.” With roots in Zen Buddhism, “The Way of Tea” focuses on the preparation of matcha, or powdered green tea, and invites drinkers to find “peacefulness in a bowl of tea.” Ms. Butterbaugh was fortunate enough to study under the experienced tea teacher Michiyo “Soyo” Okada. After 40 plus years of dedication to the art form, Okada holds the highest degree of certification in the Urasenke Tradition of Tea.

Attendees of this Honeywell House program will have the opportunity to learn a bit about modern and ancient Japan, try on traditional garments, and taste-test a few Japanese sweets and teas.

eration legacy of Beauchamp ownership. This name change has been many years in the works, but it was far from the first. Over its 144 year history, the firm has existed as Ross and Peters Real Estate & Insurance Agents, Ross and Mote Fire and Life Insurance and Real Estate, J.P. Ross Real Estate and Insurance, Citizens Savings Bank, Ward B e a u c h a m p Insurance Agency, Ward Beauchamp and Son, Beauchamp and Son Insurance, and e v e n t u a l l y B e a u c h a m p McSpadden, which has been the name since 1968. In 1980,

they purchased a firm in Muncie, which insured the Ball entities, making the official title Beauchamp McSpadden | Morrison Galliher. The eleven-syllable tongue twister isn’t one that most people would consider “catchy.” Just the first of the four names, pronounced “Beechum,” can be confusing to clients. “It’s a French name pronounced British in Indiana,” Parker Beauchamp said of his last name. “I mean, come on. Nobody wants that in an insurance company. [Beauchamp McSpadden] radiates around here…people can at least pro-

nounce it. The thing is, for the last 20 years, we’ve had clients in all states, and we continue to grow our portfolio in those states. And

Galliher, I mean Gallagher is the fourth-largest firm that does exactly what we do.” It became clear over (continued on page 8)

Beauchamp McSpadden begins new era as INGUARD...continued from page 7 the last several years that a name change was something they wanted. The began the search for a new name in 2008 to no avail. In 2010, Parker was “hot after the thing,” as he put it. “We went through probably 25 itterations of what our name could be,” said B e a u c h a m p . “Contests where you win the prize if they pick your name, our own ideas, it was terrible. Nothing worked.” The firm’s management met with their public relations firm with what Beauchamp described as a “failed conquest,” and the firm reminded them of a name they had pitched years before. That name was INGUARD. “It combines the ideas of insurance

and guard, which is really what we’re all about,” said Beauchamp. “A lot of people put “risk” in the name, and that’s what you’re working against, not what you’re representing.” After thinking about if for a few days, Beauchamp and his team decided they like the name, and it has since grown on them. He also liked the “IN” part of it, because the firm is in Indiana, a convenient coincidence. “It’s kind of like any kid’s name,” said Beauchamp. “The more it’s living and breathing, you start to appreciate it a lot more. Once we saw the logo concepts for it, I think we were all behind it. Once you’re committed to it, the more you love it.” The new logo, a

shield with a leaf at the bottom, is a big change from the tilted grid logo of the past. “The shield I like, but the leaf I love. For one, I’m a nut environmentalist, and more or less, the leaf represents prosperity,” said Beauchamp. “We don’t want to be a vendor or a scare tactician talking about fires and silly stuff like tornadoes or lawsuits. It’s really a piece to get you where you want to go. It’s avoiding those things so your life comes out the way you want it to.” He admits that the change is somewhat bittersweet, and that he’s sensitive to his father, to Virginia McSpadden, and to his great grandfather’s legacy a little bit. He’s also confident that it’s the right

decision. These old names to me are a little bit out of touch and self-serving,” said Beauchamp. “I know that it’s got to go. For me, it’s about clients. I think INGUARD is much more exclusive to clients than Beauchamp, and certainly Beauchamp McSpadden | Morrison Galliher. INGUARD is more professional, and the logo is certainly a lot better I think. Beauchamp said he is looking forward to having his name off the building and hopes to further market through the new name as he continues to build the business. “We hope that it resonates for a long, long time,” he said.

Sparling to retire after four decades in education technology initia- this life.” ...continued from page 5 1:1 tive for which As of June, this will college. “I smile when I think of the computer

lessons, with a whole class sitting around one computer as we learned the parts: keyboard, monitor, CPU,” she recalled. Along with teaching students about computers, she began teaching a gifted and talented program called Quest, designed to teach small groups of students who needed a challenge beyond the regular curriculum. In the mid-90s, she began building websites with students in this program, which showcased their research work. These students also participated in the Dynamath competition, an annual event. One year, her students were the national champions. “I am always so impressed with what elementary students can do, given an openended opportunity to be challenged,” she reflected. After earning an administrator’s degree, Sparling began to transition out of the classroom and into the district’s central office. She focused her energy on professional development for the district’s teachers and writing grants, many of which were technology based. On the same day she recalled her first lessons with the archaic TRS-80, the district’s students learned from home on iPads and MacBook Airs, the result of a

Sparling helped write grants. As chief academic officer, she spends much of her time working with teachers on technology-based curriculum as the school transitions from textbooks to digital classrooms. Though she still loves her work, she’s ready for a new chapter in her life. While the politics currently affecting education in Indiana play a small role in her decision, her retirement truly comes down to family. Her husband, Ron, retired two years ago, and with winters like we’ve experience this year, travel has a growing appeal. “There were lots of times this winter during the snow storms where he would say, ‘We could go to Florida,’ or ‘We could go to Arizona,’” said Sparling. “I can’t get away, but he could.” Sparling also has young grandchildren and looks forward to the flexibility that retirement will allow her. Her son and his family live in Ghana, Africa, a place she is excited to visit. When school was closed for a week following Christmas break, it finally hit her that it might be time to retire. “I just loved that flexibility of getting up and taking my computer and sitting beside the fire,” she said. “I got to thinking, I could handle

be a reality for Sparling, though perhaps without the lit fireplace. “What I told her is, she could leave whenever I left or after I left, but she couldn’t leave until I left,” said Superintendent Sandra Weaver. “She’ll be very hard to replace.” Weaver said that they are opening the position internally and externally, perhaps with a few modifications in the job description. She hopes to have the position filled by the start of the summer. When summer comes to an end and the start of school comes around, she will likely be the envy of her former coworkers, as she has a camping trip planned to the beach of Lake Michigan. After 43 years in education, however, Sparling knows she’ll be on the beach thinking about the “first day of school.” “We have a wonderful school district. We have a lot of hard working, caring teachers, and I think this community is fortunate to have school districts like we have,” said Sparling. There’s no doubt that the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County feels fortunate to have had Lavonne Sparling in their ranks for the last 42 years.

Cancer Control board of Lions trustees donates money to buy equipment for I.U. cancer research. It also provides a Cancer Patient Advocate Lion Dottie Flack (salaried paid by Lions of Indiana)

who works at I.U. Cancer Hospital to assist any patient and family who needs it. The board is in the process of raising money for a Cancer Survivorship Endowment. Once the endowment reaches $750,000, the interest will help to fund research for cancer survivors, studying the effects the treatments had on the rest of their body. I.U. Hospital cut radiation and cancer biology research money by over a million dollars. Lion’s cancer board voted to give the Radiation and Cancer Biology Department. over $5,000 to buy computers. Their computers were outdated and I.U. was going to pull them and not replace them. The department is in need of additional equipment totaling more than $17,000. When money is donated to Lions Cancer Control, the board will donate more money to the R a d i a t i o n Department. Lions clubs collect old keys for cancer and they are recycled. If you donate to a Lions Club and state you want it to go to Indiana Cancer Control, 100 percent of

Harris concerned about $1 million approval by Council

Dear editor, I am writing out of deep concern over the recent vote by the Wabash County Council, which approved $1,000,000 to raise the balance in the county general fund. The money will be borrowed from the bridge fund, to pay wages and daily expenses. The fact that we are borrowing money from the bridge fund isn’t the most concerning issue, but the fact that the Council and Commissioners did not even know the general fund was this low is inexcusable. This following State Treasurer Richard Mourdock’s office losing half a billion dollars a few years ago. Every single member of the Wabash County Council, all three C o u n t y Commissioners, and all county-wide executive offices are members of the Republican Party. The County Council’s biggest responsibility is the county budget, which they clearly cannot manage. Voters in Wabash County Council District 2 will have a choice in November, to continue with this lack of fiscal management , or elect someone whom will be fiscally accountable. I pay property and income taxes just like many of you, we need to be careful what we do with that money. Chad M. Harris

$92,000 Creative Placemaking Grant L i e u t e n a n t Governor Sue Ellspermann recently announced that The Office of Community and Rural Affairs and the Indiana Office of T o u r i s m Development have awarded six Indiana communities funding for quality of place initiatives under the Place Based Investment Fund. Each community will receive grant funds ranging from $35,000 to $50,000 to fund parks, public venues and other quality of place projects. “Community gathering places are vital centers of activity for Hoosier cities and towns,” said Lt. G o v e r n o r Ellspermann. “Our team looks forward to seeing these innovative projects complet-

ed and the long-term benefits they provide to the winning communities.” W a b a s h Marketplace Inc. was one of the winners of this grant. Community organizations and leaders including the City of Wabash, Economic Development Group, Wabash County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, The H o n e y w e l l Foundation, Inc., and the Wabash County Historical Museum have pledged support to make this grant a reality. “It is a 1:1 matching grant,” said Patrick Sullivan, Wabash Marketplace director. “We received $46.000 in grant dollars from tourism and ORCA and $46,000 will be match funds.” This grant will help

Wabash Marketplace Inc. continue to execute projects that are part of the Public Art Master plan. The first phase was community preparation that included the additions of the new bike racks, benches and trashcans. Phase two included developing public art projects in strategic locations throughout downtown, such as the Mammoth Wall Mural and the soon to be installed Veteran’s Plaza Rehab. This new grant will allow Wabash Marketplace Inc. to continue these installations downtown with projects such as the Museum’s Caboose Park project, redeveloping the North/South Alley into a useable, communal space, rehabbing an existing pub-

lic parking lot and continued installations of bike racks and benches. The public art master plan as well as the design of the projects is a creation of Wabash Marketplace, Inc.’s Public Art Subcommittee in conjunction with the City of Wabash. This subcommittee (a subset of the Design Committee) was created in June 2012 and is chaired by Andrea Zwiebel, a local artist and program manager at the Honeywell Center. Other members of the Subcommittee are Abby Hoy, Amanda Jones-Layman, Jordan Tandy, Kellie Brace, Pete Jones, Laura Wagner, Janet Ecklebarger and M a r y Hettmansparger.

James Eubank, 74 U.S. Army veteran May 12, 1939 – Jan. 27, 2014

James Arnold Eubank, 74, Kernersville, N.C., went to be his Lord and Savior, Jan. 27, 2014, after fighting a bone marrow disorder for four years. He never gave up, but always had a smile and a little humor for the doctors and nurses that cared for him. His loving wife, Betty, passed away a year prior to his death. He was the son of Arnold and Catherine (Grossnickle) Eubank, born May 12, 1939 in Wabash County. His grandparents were Josiah William Eubank and Laura (Stellar) Eubank and H.B. Grossnickle and Jettie Grossnickle. Survivors include his three sons, Jeff (Emily) Eubank, Virginia, Joel (Christy) Eubank, Ramseur, N.C., and Michael Eubank, Minnesota and one daughter, Lori (Jeff) Bowman, North Carolina. One son, Ronald, and one grandson, Jason, preceded him in death. He has two sisters, Mrs. James (Bonnie) Merritt and Mrs. Ernest (Ethel) McQueary, Warsaw. He has several nieces and nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mr. Eubank graduated from Central High School at North Manchester in 1957. He worked for Wings Greenhouse his senior year. After graduation, he joined the Army, serving as an M.P. After completing his service, he married Betty White at Newport News, Va. They celebrated over 50 years of marriage until she joined her Savior. He worked in the shipyard in Virginia and later moved to Greensboro, N.C. to work in a dairy and later the Post Office, where he retired. He obtained a bachelor’s degree and became ordained in North Carolina. He taught Awanas in the Baptist church. He had the privileged of uniting his granddaughter and her husband in marriage. He loved all sports, especially basketball. He will be greatly missed by all.

Perseverance, courage, love, forgiveness and faith are timeless themes. Just like in life and sports, when you lose your confidence everything else goes. I think believing in yourself has a lot to do with words. You are what you say you are. Your children will be what you say they are. Words are important and powerful.

17 Back to the 80s… the Totally Awesome Musical brings 80s music to life THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

April 2, 2014

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com Director Jessica Keaffaber, with assistant director and sister, Samantha Kramer, brought a musical back to Southwood High School for the first time in years this past weekend. Back to the 80s… a Totally Awesome Musical is a story about Corey Palmer’s senior year in the 80s, as told by his 30-year-old self. This musical uses popular songs from the 80s to bring Palmer’s senior year to life. The adult Corey Palmer was played by Southwood senior Brett Wyatt. “I’m not a singer. I was scared to death, but Jessica knows me and she contacted me with the smaller part. She knows I love theater,” Wyatt told The Paper. “It’s been a great experience and I stepped out of my comfort zone and it was definitely worth it,” added Wyatt. Wyatt’s Corey only performed one song,

Letters to the editor policy The editorial staff of The Paper invites readers to submit letters to the editor on timely issues. To ensure fairness to everyone, we have established the following guidelines: Mailed and faxed letters must be signed. All submissions, including by email, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. The editor reserves the right to edit letters for length, content and readability. Also, per the editor’s judgment, personal attacks, inflammatory statements and legally objectionable material will not be printed. The editor must also limit readers to submitting a maximum of two letters per month, regardless of whether previous letters have been published, due to space allotments in each weekly issue. Please limit all letters to 500 words or less.

“You Give Love a Bad Name” by Bon Jovi, while young Corey, played by Andrew Finicle, was a part of many group songs, along with some of his own solos. The story centered on not only Palmer’s senior year, but also the girl of his dreams. Tiffany Houston, played by freshman Erika Ziner. “It makes me feel really honored that Jessica put enough trust in me to trust me with a bigger role and I have definitely loved every bit of it,” Ziner told The Paper. Ziner played a part of the popular crowd, who was the center of not only Corey’s attention but also that of “Mr. Popular,” Michael Feldman, played by Adam Bott. This triangle comes to a head with Palmer and Feldman proclaiming their love for Tiffany with their rendition of “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by the Proclaimers. Though Tiffany first picks Feldman, Palmer eventually gets the girl when Feldman and his friends make fun of new student, Eileen, played by senior Cera Wilson.

“I love to sing. It’s not just getting away for practices, but it’s giving me relief to sing. I’m a big 80s fan. I love it. I think it should be a variety. Musicals take a lot of time and energy, so I think it’s nice to have one every once in a while. If I got to choose, I’d pick musicals.” said Wilson. The song included popular songs of the decade like “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins, “Material Girl” by Madonna, “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler, “Love Shack” by the B-52’s and many more. Music was directed by Chris

Hickman, with Judy Ward on piano. Devin Holmes played bass guitar with Kolten Kersey on the trumpet, Mike Klinger on the tenor saxophone, Shelby Coffelt on the trombone, Josh Hobson on the drums and Spencer Mahan on the electric guitar. The cast included Brett Wyatt, Andrew Finicle, Erika Ziner, Adam Bott, Adam Spaulding, Alec Guenin, Lakin Wimmer, Kate Baxter, Josie Marchetti, Sean Babbitt, Allen Warren, Isaac Cooper, Nathanael Fadil, Cera Wilson, Mariah Paris, Jordan Vielee, Caitlin Riggle, Waylon

Gillum, Shelby Duell, Stacia Stepler, Nicole Ward, Nikita Jacobs, Hannah Miller, Holly Coffelt, Jonah Stouffer and special voice over by Wade Weaver. Jessica Keaffaber directed the production with help from assistant director, Samantha Kramer. Lighting technicians were David Siler and Nathan McCown and audio engineer Tom Coath. Set design was by Samantha Kramer and Gary Dale, with choreography also by Samantha Kramer. “These kids are amazing. They are so talented. It was a great show. I couldn’t

be prouder of them,” said Keaffaber of the cast. “Last night was great. They were having a ball on stage and we were having just as much of a ball

backstage. We were singing and dancing along with them. We had a great time, and we’re glad the audience did too,” added Kramer.

Stirring it up with Angie Baer For me, watching my husband start ve g etable plants from seed is a sure sign that spring is right around the c o r n e r. Dave was born with a ANGIE BAER g r e e n thumb and gardening is definitely his forte. After the harsh winter we experienced, I think everyone will welcome spring with open arms. Because we are still in comfort food season, I wanted to give you this recipe for so-tender Swiss steak. This fork tender Swiss steak with rich gravy is served over hot buttered noodles, making this truly a comfort food dish.

So-Tender Swiss Steak 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 pounds round steak, (cut into serving size pieces) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 2 cups water 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Hot cooked noodles Gravy: 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1-1/4 cups beef broth In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge steak a few pieces at a time. Pound with a mallet to tenderize. In a Dutch oven, brown steak in oil on all sides. Arrange onion slices between the layers of meat. Add water and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and bake at 325 for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until meat is very tender. Remove to serving platter and keep warm. In a small bowl combine flour, salt, pepper and broth until smooth, stir into pan juices. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Serve steak and gravy over hot buttered noodles.

Charley Creek Wine and Cheese Shoppe Assistant Manager Silas Zartman passes internationally recognized sommelier exam

by Mary FusonStearley Silas Zartman, assistant manager of Charley Creek Inn’s Wine and Cheese Shoppe, walks the path of the world’s famous Master Sommeliers with his recent wine study endeavors. He recently passed the I n t ro d u c t o r y Sommelier Exam, officially making him a sommelier.

The wine shop he helps manage is certainly deserving of such an expert. Named one of Wine Spectator Magazine’s Top 100 in 2013, Charley Creek Inn’s Wine and Cheese Shoppe has been serving the Wabash community for more than 4 years. Tucked into the Miami Street entrance, they stock nearly 350 wines as well as 60 craft beers,

and as many cheeses. Wine has been recognized as the beverage of choice since around 7,000 BCE when the first evidence of its cultivation was discovered in China. The ancient Greeks recognized Dionysus and the Romans later honored Bacchus as the deities of this popular fermented grape juice. And of course, the Bible is said to men-

tion wine a total of 231 times in the King James Version, with Jesus Christ himself transmuting water into wine, and serving it at the Last Supper, alongside his Apostles. Wine was regularly consumed with meals, used as medicine, and shared for Jewish ritualistic purposes throughout history. These grapes were later cultivated in the classic “old world” regions such as France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, where it was popularized as a proper art form. The art of viticulture was carried over to the “New Worlds” with the settlers and was found to thrive in places like California, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, and Australia. Even now, wine vineyards have been popping up in perceivably unusual

After serving thousands of glasses of wine to locals and tourists alike, Zartman decided to broaden his knowledge in the area by successfully completing level I, the prerequisite course to the Certified Sommelier Exam administered by the Court of Master Sommeliers. With only 200 official Master Sommeliers in the world, the fourth level has a mere 10% pass rate. It is the

most prestigious recognition in the wide world of wines. The introductory course includes intensive instruction on all of the major winegrowing regions of the world, proper wine service, and an introduction to spirits, beer, and saké. In addition to these important skills, a participant in this course is also introduced to the CMS Deductive Tasting Method- a method of blind tasting that allows the wine taster to fully and analyze and understand the composition of a wine from the visual aspects and flavor to vineyard and vintage of a wine.

the Cleveland Clinic’s 44,000 employees. The course, known as “Communicate with Heart,” was designed to teach Cleveland Clinic employees how to deal with difficult situations. The program began in 2002 with “Respond with Heart.” “It’s a service recovery model,” said Rita Spirko, an Outreach and E x t e r n a l P a r t n e r s h i p Program Manager in the Cleveland Clinic’s Office of Patient Experience. Rita explained that when something doesn’t go well at the clinic, they use this program to deescalate the situation. In a hospital more than most other places, tensions run high and some outcomes are very difficult for doctors, patients, and families to deal with. The clinic, which was the first hospital in the country to have an office of patient experience and a chief experience officer, found that if the hospital responded to these difficult situations at the service point, the patients and their families left feeling better

empathy.” On Nov. 5 of last year, the district’s first scheduled eLearning day, Spirko and colleague Sandra Vince traveled to the district’s central office and taught the program to 15 district employees. Those trained ranged from teachers and administrators to bus drivers and custodians. On the district’s third scheduled eLearning day, these individuals shared the program with the rest of the district’s employees. “People noticed our outstanding scores,” said Vince during a break in the Nov. 5 training. “People wondered what we were doing there and why everyone was so nice.” Vince travels around the world teaching the program to hospitals and other organizations.

about their time at the clinic and the any difficult outcome they may have to deal with. In 2009, the clinic added a “Start with Heart” program. “Start with Heart developed, because if we start with heart, we don’t have to respond as often,” said Spirko. Since implementing these two programs under the b a n n e r “Communicate with Heart,” the hospital has seen complaints decline sharply and their hospital survey rating improve dramatically. Superintendent Sandra Weaver took note of the way her family was treated during a particularly difficult experience at the Cleveland Clinic. Her husband passed away following brain cancer surgery performed at the hospital. She took note of the patient and family care the clinic offered and knew there must be something behind it. “I was treated very well, and I knew school systems could use it,” Weaver explained. “Their style of communication helps resolve issues while using

time she or any other trainer had worked with educators. “Communicate with heart was developed for healthcare, but we found it provides basic principles that are transferable to other disciplines,” said Spirko. “We change and customize it for the partner. We make it theirs. That’s how we build and sustain a culture is by creating ownership.” “We want students, parents, and guardians to have a great, positive experience with the school district,” said Vince. “It’s about being respectful and kind. I know this will be successful here.” Following the district-wide training last Thursday, Weaver was optimistic about the training and the program’s implementation. “It went very well,” she said. “I’ve gotten some very good feedback today, and of course, that was very emotional for me.” One thing Weaver particularly liked was the diversity of district employees who provided the training. One example she mentioned was Michelle Dupont a kindergarten aide at Southwood Elementary, training a group which included Assistant Superintendent Brian Dawson. “That’s what part of it is all about,” said Weaver. “We’re bigger than our job descriptions. We are all educators. A lot of what we did today was common sense, but a lot of it was developing empathy and realizing, we don’t know what’s going on in everyone’s lives. The students, the parents, and the community still expect a worldclass education.” These words echoed those of trainer Sandra Vince months before as she wrapped up her training. “At the end of the day, it’s the right thing to do,” said Vince. “It’s what we learned in Kindergarten, but we all need to be reminded.”

Northfield student basketball team goes toeto-toe with faculty team, comes out on top

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com On Friday, March 28, Northfield held its annual charity intramural basketball game pitting the faculty team, Staff Infection, against the student team, made entirely of seniors. Northfield donates half of the event’s proceeds to Riley Hospital for Children and half to a local charity. This year, the school decided the local charity would be the family of Shade Eviston, a Northfield student who tragically lost his life in an automobile accident less than a month ago. “Every year is different. Last year, I believe we donated to 85 Hope. This year we wanted it to go to the family,” said Northfield principal, Mike Keaffaber. The student team

was made up of Damon Neal, Brady Bolen, Marcus Kroh, Katelyn Gribben, Brad Bever, Alec Wells, Caleb Coe, Chase Vigar and Andrew Eckerley, with coaches Christian Hawkins and Jon Richardson. The faculty team consisted of Mr. Baker, Mr. Eltzroth, Mr. Andrews, Carly Mast, Mr. Bahney, Mr. Shafer, Mr. Branock, Mr. Schell and Mr. Baer. “The record is faculty 97, students negative 4,” joked game announcer Ryan Sincroft. In all reality, the student team has never beaten the faculty team during the charity basketball game, but all that changed this year. Though the faculty team started out strong, running away in the first few minutes with an almost 20 point lead, the student

team caught up, taking the lead before the half. The first half ended with the students up 30 to 29. Officials for the game were Principal Keaffaber and Ag teacher, Jeff Smith. “This is for charity and it is by donation, so what I’ve said is that some of the students said they would give me money to make the calls, so I told the teachers if they want to up that, I can do that. None of that is true. We’ll just let them play and have fun,” said Keaffaber, when asked if we could be calling the game down the middle, as officials are notorious for helping the faculty in the previous years. The halftime show pitted the team of Brad Bever and Caleb Coe against Ciara Ritchie and Elaina Terrell in a battle of the sexes corn hole

tournament. The male team was victorious after a short round. The game stayed close in the second half with the lead switching hands multiple times. At the final buzzer sound, the students had beaten the faculty for the first time in Northfield intramural history with a score of 69-55. Scoring for the student team was Damon Neal with 10, Marcus Kroh with 16, Alec Wells with 6, Andrew Eckerley with 12 and Caleb Coe with 25 points. Scoring for the faculty team was Mr. Andrews with 4, Carly Mast with 22, Mr. Bahney with 3, Mr. Shafer with 6, Mr. Branock with 9, Mr. Schell with 2 and Mr. Baer with 7, with a couple extra points thrown in from the score keepers.

by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com “I was inducted into the soccer hall of fame on Feb. 8 of this year, and I have to tell you that this is the highest honor I have received in my soccer career,” Coach Olman Sánchez said in his acceptance speech. Sánchez has not only impacted numerous students he has coached, but is a huge reason that soccer programs exist at all in the Wabash area. Olman Sánchez grew up in the beautiful Central-American country of Costa Rica. “In Costa Rica, the main sport is soccer,” said Sánchez in an acceptance speech on

Feb. 8. “When I was growing up, soccer was the only thing you could think about. We did not have many facilities you just got together with a bunch of kids and found a place to kick the ball around and have fun. Soccer balls were hard to find and I could not afford one, so we used whatever was available.” Sánchez was inducted into the Indiana Soccer Hall of Fame earlier this year. He taught Spanish at North Miami High School for 24 years before retiring, but continues to coach the boy’s soccer team, with 14 seasons already under his belt.

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com On March 18, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics honored former Wabash Lady Apache Brooklyn Short. Short received Honorable Mention All-America after the NAIA announced the 2013-14 NAIA Women’s Basketball All-America teams. In Short’s career as a Lady Apache, she received four varsity letters for basketball, became second on Wabash High School’s all time scoring list, led the Lady Apaches to back-to-back 20-win seasons and back-toback sectional cham-

pionships under Coach Scott Bumgardner, who Short says still keeps in contact with her. “[I] definitely [would like to thank] my high school coach, Scott Bumgardner,” Short told The Paper. “Throughout my college years, he still contacts me; we still talk. He’s helped me out through high school and college too.” Short’s former coach, Purdue Calumet’s Head Women’s Basketball coach Tom Megyesi, first contacted Bumgardner after observing Short at the Top 100 workout the summer before her senior year.

“He gave her a glowing recommendation,” Coach Megyesi said. “When Mr. Bumgardner mentioned that not only was Brooklyn an outstanding basketball player, she was also an outstanding student, class salutatorian, I knew I needed to pursue her for my team. Brooklyn was all that Coach Bumgardner said and more.” As a freshman at Purdue Calumet, Short saw action in all 30 contests of the season. As a sophomore, she was named First Team AllChicagoland’s Collegiate Athletic Conference and Academic All-CCAC. (continued on page 25)

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com For the Thursday Night Blues crowd, the Boscoe France Band has become synonymous with the genre. The Kentucky virtuoso closed out the blues series in his third appearance at Eagles Theatre. Jimmy Cummings provided the beats behind his four-piece drum set, while a new face, John Rochner, completed the rhythm section, replacing John Gillespie on bass. “John’s a life long bass player like I’m a life long guitar player. The other bass player was not that way,”

said France in a postshow interview. “He was a guy that had done really well for himself, so he was wealthy, and that’s a hard pill to swallow.” France makes no claim to wealth or fame. He isn’t in music for the money, which is a good thing, because he doesn’t make much. He admits that he struggles to provide a decent life for his kids on a musician’s income, but he does what he loves to do, play guitar. Winning Guitar Center’s Battle of the Blues has provided the musician with nearly any instrument he desires, but doesn’t

exactly pay the bills. As the newest member of the band, Rochner seems to sincerely mesh with France and Cummings. He provides a more entertaining performance on bass without Gillespie’s pomp offstage. Like France and Cummings, Rochner sincerely loves talking with fans. France’s downto-earth demeanor has solidified the musician as a favorite of the Wabash audience. When interviewed last fall, France said that his band has the songbook to play three four-hour sets without repeating the

same song, and those lucky enough to catch all three appearances at Eagles can vouch for that. While certain fan favorites have been repeated, the blues trio has rewarded its audience with three truly unique performances over the course of the last year. France plays to the audience, as any great musician should. His heavy southern accent, a result of his upbringing in Madisonville, Ky., is faint when he sings and unmistakable when he speaks. The ease with which his fingers appear to caress the fret board of his Gibson Les Paul mask the fact that he is playing with seemingly impossible speed and accuracy. For the aspiring musician, his skill is both inspirational and discouraging; it’s a fantastic display of what is possible with a guitar and a showcase of the mountain most musicians still have to climb. At the same time, he’ll be the first to tell you that the best guitar players he knows are the one’s jamming in their garage. At times, he’s all smiles as he strolls across the stage, playing off of drummer Jimmy Cummings and bassist John Rochner. Other times, he’s so deeply set in his own world, his eyes roll back in his head, movement restricted to his fingertips and wrist. It’s a delicate balance between adrenalinepumping chords and paralyzing solos. One thing is sure; the audience is never (continued on page 23)

THE PAPER

April 2, 2014

Boscoe France returns to Eagles Theatre with new bass player...continued from page 22 ready for the show to be over. The bands performance is a display of the many styles above which the blues flag flies. From Muddy Waters to Jimi Hendrix, from clean, crisp amplification to heavily distorted,

screaming notes, from ear-ringing volume to the barely audible notes, variety is the name of their game. With only three musicians on stage, there is a lot of room for error, but it is rarely found. The three play in unison, with such

precision that a live performance could be mistaken for a professionally remastered studio album. Fittingly, the bands sole album for sale is a live recording from a show earlier this year. France has the

uncanny ability to satisfy diehard blues fans while simultaneously convincing the skeptics of its virtues. Accustomed to playing in small bars and deserving of a stadium, France seemed to find his comfort zone in his third appearance at Eagles, the first large venue the band ever played.

But for anyone who has taken the time to get to know the artist, he doesn’t play guitar to please an audience or make money; France plays guitar because he has to. Put in a room with a guitar, no matter what the quality, he will lose himself in the music. Each time he has traveled to

A toast to wine tasting in Wabash ...continued from page 19 In the fourth, Master Level, a Sommelier is expected to blindly taste 3 white wines and 3 red wines accurately naming five of the six wines. “You have to know grape varietal, region, and not just the country, not just Bordeaux, but what region of Bordeaux, like Médoc. And then you have to say vintage, and you have to do six wines and get five correct in 25 minutes,” Zartman explained. What can we expect going into a wine tasting at the Wine Shoppe? First, you’ll receive a warm greeting and an offer to try a few wines free of charge. There’s always good music to provide a backdrop to the experience, and if wine’s not your thing, there are plenty of other options: beer, cheese, crackers, and spirits. As for wine tasting, there’s always a nice variety from which to chose. “I try to always keep a nice lineup, where you can try a couple dry whites, a couple dry reds, and then a few sweet things too, because you always have a variation of people

who want to try different things, especially the sweet stuff,” said Zartman. Knowledgeable as always, Zartman introduced a beautiful Portuguese red blend and the poetry went as follows: ‘This is the Quinta do Crasto Douro red blend. Douro is the region in Portugal where port wine is made. So they take all of the same grapes that they use to make port wine and make a red table wine with it, but it’s done a lot different than most of your typical red table wines. It only sees about 5% oak, so it’s very fruit forward. It’s still a nice dry, red wine, but it just makes it very drink-

able and very food friendly as well.” Silas is planning to work towards the second exam that will officially certify him as a sommelier. “I want to get my Cicerone Beer Certification next. I decided to take a break from wine for a little bit. It seems like it’s an easier test,” he laughed. Wabash wine enthusiasts are quite lucky indeed; few towns this size have their own sommelier. We certainly look forward to raising a wellresearched glass to the accomplishments of Silas and our fine collection of wine in the Wine and Cheese Shoppe.

Dear Editor, In response to a letter written by Rachel Gross a couple of weeks ago, I would like to answer c a t e g o r i c a l l y. Having sons of similar age, I cannot imagine what would cause such a heartbreaking tragedy. Let’s step back from the very emotional, horrific incident in question.

NOT being held captive by gun manufacturers; it’s called freedom of choice. Chicago has the strictest gun control laws in the country; arguably, they also have one of the highest crime rates in the country. What kind of logic is this? It does not matter how strong the laws are, criminals do not care. Gun owners should not be punished for the activities of criminals. Should forks and

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

April 2, 2014

High school soccer coach inducted into Indiana Soccer Hall of Fame... continued from page 21 Sánchez compares the soccer of his simple past to the modern sports world. “In our formal practices, we did not have very many [soccer balls],” he said. “It was difficult, but we survived. Today, it is a different story, in our practices, we provide a ball for each player.” Sánchez started playing soccer as a child, and joined more serious clubs as he approached his

teens. “When I was about 12 years old I played for a few years on private clubs,” he said. “I remember our team leaving on Sunday mornings from my hometown, sitting on two small benches in the back of a pick-up truck to San José, the capital of Costa Rica, to play against big clubs.” Sánchez was not necessarily the best player on the field,

but to him soccer held a higher meaning. “I was not a great player at all, but, it was fun,” Sánchez said. “I was proud to be part of the team. While Sánchez continued to play soccer throughout his life, it was never a serious choice as a career. “Then, when I was a teenager and in my early twenties, I played more soccer, but it was just for fun,” Sánchez added.

Local graduate Brooklyn Short receives national athletic honor... continued from page 21 In her junior year, Short was named honorable mention All-CCAC, Academic All-CCAC, and Daktronics NAIA Scholar Athlete. Now, as a senior, receiving the NAIA honorable mention All-America is important to Short because “it’s more nationally recognized, which is kind of neat,” according to Short. “It does mean a lot as a senior, getting that last award in there.” As a math major graduating in May, Short isn’t sure what her future holds career-wise. She will be getting married in August and is currently looking to move home after graduation and start her new life with her fiancé, Tyler. Talking about her basketball career and looking towards her future did give her some insight for student athletes looking to be as successful as she has been on and off

the court. When asked what advice she would have for girls who are in the same position she was four years ago, Short simply said: “You need to get your priorities straight. Keep up the hard work. Stay determined. Follow your heart.” Short would like to thank her parents. “They made the two-hour trip to my games, almost every game, which I never would have expected them to do. “My dad and Tyler made the trip to Iowa to watch me play in the national tournament. I just played two games there, but they made the 10hour trip. It means a lot.” In addition to her family and fiancé, she would also like to thank her aunt, Kelly Smith. Lastly, Short would like to thank the fans that came out when Purdue Calumet

played Huntington University. Short noted that game, with a hometown crowd, as one of the proudest moments of her basketball career. “A couple year’s ago, we played H u n t i n g t o n University, and since it was so close to home, I had a lot of fans there, just for me. That really meant a lot, to get all that support from people that were there in high school to watch me play.” “She’s an outstanding person,” said Coach Megyesi. “Everyone on the team looks up to her and respects her decisions and opinions. She was the coach on the floor. I don’t know if I will ever find another person like Brooklyn. She is exactly what every coach wants; smart, funny, studious, athletic, empathetic and also willing to go that extra mile. She will be missed.”

“Some of my friends were really good, they were more serious about it, and some of them ended up playing professional soccer -not me, boy! Not me!” Sánchez recalls one of his fondest memories of soccer in Costa Rica. “The super star Pelé was playing,” he said. “So I figured out how to be there. Before the game, they turned the lights off of the stadium, and the best player in the world, stood there, in the middle of the field, with his beautiful white uniform and a spotlight, and did all these amazing soccer tricks! During the game he scored a goal or two, and of course they beat the Costa Rican team, but I will never forget this terrific soccer experience!” After meeting his wife, Thelma, in Costa Rica through a mutual love of music, Sánchez moved with her back to her home town of Lagro and was disappointed to

see the lack of interest in soccer. “I started getting involved in the community, and by the end of the 1970s, with the help of some parents, we decided to do something about it,” he said. “We advertised in the paper about signing up for soccer. One Saturday morning, we set up a table in the middle of a soccer field. That year we had about 80 kids signed up. In our second year the program tripled and then two years later we had several hundred kids playing soccer.” This program spurred the creation of Wabash’s modern soccer program. Before Wabash had the YMCA, there was a program called Wabash Community Service, which is where Sánchez and others helped to begin the teams. “Recently I talked to Mr. Bill barrows, YMCA director, and he told me about the wonderful things going on in their soccer programs,”

Sánchez said. “According to him, during spring, they have around 350 kids playing soccer. They have around 400 kids playing soccer during fall.” After setting Wabash County and Huntington County up with soccer teams, Sánchez found another nearby area lacking the world’s most popular sport. “In 1985, the North Miami community schools hired me as a Spanish teacher,” he said. “And you know what? No soccer up there. I had already gotten involved in Wabash County and in Huntington County, and now, my new challenge was to do something in Miami County. It was not easy. It took 15 years to get the program going. During that time I was really busy with my teaching job, but I did not give up my soccer either. “So besides my teaching job, I was officiating, plus coaching a soccer

traveling team,” Sánchez continued. “In order to promote my soccer program at my school, I invited some of those who wanted to play soccer to join my traveling team. Then, finally, with the help of the parents and some of the administrators, in the year 2000, the school’s board officially approved the boys and girls soccer programs.” Sánchez emphasizes that creating these programs takes more than one person. “To me, parents were the key to success, for the following reasons: number one, the bottom line is, no parents, no kids,” Sánchez said jokingly. “Number two, many of them were involved in many of the administrative duties in order to keep the program running. Number three, many of them were coaching a team, plus doing a referee’s job, and number four, some of them were involved in keeping the fields and (continued on page 26)

High school soccer coach inducted into Indiana Soccer Hall of Fame... continued from page 25 equipment in good condition. During my years at Wabash, the Wabash community service played a big roll in our great success.” Sánchez explains the pay offs that come with creating these programs. “Soccer is my passion and I love what I have been doing for years and years,” he said. “I have had the opportunity to teach hundreds of players of all ages this beautiful sport. I am so pleased to see many of those little ones growing up and playing soccer in collegessome of them becoming referees, and some

of them coaching other kids. To me, as a coach, these are the best rewards, because after years, and years of hard work, now you are able to see the final product of that small seed you planted long, long time ago.” Sánchez’s passion for soccer goes beyond coaching and playing. He keeps all aspects of soccer in his life, and sees how it affects him daily. “I guess there is something magical in this sport, because knowing that I am getting older and older every day, soccer keeps me feeling younger, younger, and

younger,” he said. “So for years and years, I have been involved in just about everything in this sport: playing, coaching, officiating, attending soccer clinics, summer camps, you name it, and I have to tell you this: I feel real, real, good!” Sánchez ended his acceptance speech with some advice that we can all strive to live by. “Do not quit doing the things you love to do, and please keep supporting the soccer programs in Indiana because soccer is growing… growing… and… growing.”

Battle of the Books winners announced The Wabash Carnegie Public Library would like to congratulate the winners of the 2014 Battle of the Books! Saint Bernard’s Catholic School triumphed in the fourth and fifth grade competition. Saint Bernard’s middle school students won in the middle school competition. The elementary competition for fourth and fifth grade students took place at Heartland Career Center on Monday,

March 24 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The middle school competition, consisting of students from sixth, seventh and eighth grades, took place at the library on March 26 from 4:30—6:30 p.m. Sharp Creek, W. C. Mills, Emmanuel C h r i s t i a n , Southwood, and St. Bernard’s Catholic School students matched wits in the elementary competition. Southwood, Wabash Middle School, Sharp Creek,

Northfield, and St. Bernard’s Catholic School participated in the middle school battle. The Youth Services staff of the Wabash Carnegie Public Library selected the titles and purchased the books for the competition. Elementary teams read six books: Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper, The Case of the Diamond Dog Collar by Martha Freeman, A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park, The

Big One Oh! by Dean Pitchford, Your Mother Was a Neanderthal by Jon Scieszka, and The Fingertips of Duncan Dorfman by Meg Wolitzer. They read 1,101 pages.

Teams of five to ten members answer questions designed to indicate knowledge of characters, plot, and setting from each of the assigned books. A representative from the library reads aloud questions and acts as a judge. Teams have 60 seconds to formu-

late an answer. The judge then determines whether the answer may be accepted. The team with the most winning matches is the victor. Each team receives a Certificate of

Participation and a candy bar. The teams are also provided with an ice cream party, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Homer Miller. The winning teams from each age group are awarded a pizza

party, courtesy of the library. Students also receive a medal. Their school name is engraved on the traveling trophy, to be kept at the winner’s school.

Hammons thanks police and K-9 units for doing their job Dear Editor, After reading the horrible story about the tragedy for the Bradley’s, let me say I sympathize. Having said that I also sympathize with the police officers trying to make a community safe for all by doing their jobs and taking down criminals. I cannot sit quietly by and let the professionalism of the police officers be smeared while the criminals who caused this whole situation get to sit back and laugh about the attention being off of them while the police are painted as criminals! It drives me crazy that criminal behav-

ior is minimized and the good guys are demonized! These people were manufacturing drugs. Meth addicts typically rob people to finance their lifestyle. Is their behavior ok? Was it ok for them to run through the woods to evade capture and go further into criminal behavior because they eluded the police? What are the officers supposed to do? They did their job. The K-9 officer reined his dog in. He followed procedure. I admit, I got a chuckle out of him yelling “police, halt” at the dogs, but that tells me he was following pro-

cedure. And yes a dog will have a short life span if they are attacking an officer (including K-9) while on duty. I’m sorry that these normally gentle dogs were running free and attacked the K-9. I’m sorry for what happened, but where is the story of the criminals behind this whole scenario? Did children live in the house of the meth lab? Did children live

near the house and these people? I’ve always said that if your doing nothing wrong, you have no reason to run. It bothers me that lawsuits are threatened to replace a free dog, and that originally they were “shot on their own property” but actually weren’t. Here’s a thought. How about suing the criminals who endangered a whole community of

people, and decided to run forcing the police to pursue them. Why shouldn’t the police pursue them? If they didn’t they would be demonized because they didn’t do everything in their power to protect the community. Just as the “choir boy” who robbed a Manchester bank at gun point and thank God only took his own life after being pursued by police

becomes a story about how good he was and it’s society’s and the gun’s fault. Where is personal responsibility? Yes it’s a horrible story but have you ever considered that gun’s save lives? Or, guns help feed hungry families? I hope to God that none of us faces a life or death situation facing a CRIMINAL with a gun! I would argue that anyone would rather

have a gun to take out a real criminal with a gun before allowing them to, one by one kill the loved ones around you and then point it at you. I want to personally thank the police and the K-9 for doing their job! How is it going to help to take the badge and gun of an officer dedicated to doing the courageous and admirable job of police work? Pat Hammons

consuming 29 percent more protein than the current nutrition guidelines recommend, according to new research from Purdue University. “Our data suggests that the current dietary protein requirement estimate may be too low and reinforces that more research is needed to identify accurate protein amounts for older adults,” said nutrition science professor Wayne W. Campbell, an expert on dietary protein and human health. “I think the current recommended dietary allowance values serve an important role in that they are the foundation that guides national and international feeding programs, but these findings, along with previous research, indicate that consuming amounts of protein moderately above the current recommended dietary allowance may be helpful.” The research, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is published in the current American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The current recommended dietary allowance for women older than 70

years is 0.36 grams for each pound of body weight or 46 grams of protein for a 130pound woman. This amount is the same for all women 19 and older. “The current dietary reference intakes for elderly adults rely on data collected from younger people and extrapolated to include elderly people. Also, the scientific method used for the last 50 years to determine protein needs is not an ideal technique for older adults,” said Campbell. Campbell worked with the scientists who developed a new noninvasive method to evaluate protein amounts. These scientists are Rajavel Elango from the University of British Columbia; Paul B. Pencharz, University of Toronto; and Ronald O. Ball, University of Alberta. Also part of the team are former Purdue doctoral nutrition science student Minghua Tang, who is a research assistant professor at the University of Colorado, and George P. McCabe, professor of statistics and associate dean in Purdue’s

College of Science. The indicator amino acid oxidation method has been used in children and young men, and this is the first time it was used in an elderly population. In this study, six women, ages 80 to 87 years, consumed beverages with 20 amino acids, the building blocks for high-quality proteins, including phenylalanine and tyrosine, on seven different testing days during the threemonth study. The amounts of amino acids in the beverages were different each testing day and a tracer isotope was measured from their breath and urine samples collected periodically during each eight-hour testing period. “When you don’t have enough of these amino acids in your diet, your body will not be able to produce as much protein,” Campbell said. “When these women ate small amounts of the amino acids, the amount of carbon dioxide containing the tracer isotope was higher in their breath because the phenylalanine was being broken down instead of being used to make

proteins. As the amounts of amino acids increased, the amount of carbon dioxide with the tracer was lower because their bodies were able to synthesize more proteins.” Determining the appropriate amount of protein for older adults to consume is especially important because they experience natural muscle loss, Campbell said. Losing muscle results in weakness and instability that can adversely affect daily physical abilities and increase the risk for falls. “As people get older, they need fewer calories so they eat less food and they eat less protein,” Campbell said. “The proportion of calories with protein stays constant unless you dramatically change eating habits, which few people do. More research is needed to determine the best amount of protein for people older than 70 to consume to help retain their functional abilities and health.”

31 Exercise during youth makes bones bigger and stronger throughout life THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

April 2, 2014

Bone is a living tissue that gets stronger in response to the mechanical forces associated with exercise. Exercise has the greatest benefit on bone strength during growth; but do the benefits of exercise during youth persist with aging, when bones are at greater risk of breaking? This question was addressed in a series of studies funded by the National Institutes of Health and published online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Stuart Warden, associate professor and associate dean for research in the Indiana University School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at Indiana U n iv e r s i t y - P u r d u e U n i v e r s i t y Indianapolis. Comparing differences between the throwing and nonthrowing arms of Major League Baseball players at different stages of their career to differences measured in non-baseball players, Warden and colleagues showed that

half of the bone size and one-third of the bone strength benefits of exercise performed during youth were maintained lifelong. “This is an impressive level of maintenance, particularly considering that the baseball players had not thrown, or in other words, exercised, in over 50 years and were aged in their mid-80s,” Warden said. In contrast to the maintenance of the bone size and strength benefits, Warden found that the amount or mass of new bone added via exercise during youth was progressively and ultimately lost during aging. This observation came as no surprise to the investigators. “While we have historically been encouraged to exercise during youth to put ‘more bone in the bank’ to lose during aging,” Warden said, “It is not energy efficient for the skeleton to maintain its mass in excess of its needs.” How can exercise during youth have a lifelong benefit on bone strength, but not mass?

Warden indicated this is due to exercise enhancing bone size. Like any load-bearing structure, bones can be strengthened not only by adding more material but also by adding the new material where it is needed most. “Exercise during youth adds extra layers to the outer surface of a bone to essentially make the bone bigger,” Warden said. “This gives you more ‘bang for the buck,’ as the addition of a small amount of new material to the outside of a bone results in a disproportionate increase in bone strength relative to the gain in mass.” As bone loss during aging primarily occurs on the inside rather than outside of a bone, Warden noted that the bigger and consequent stronger bone created by exercise during youth has a means of lasting lifelong. Does exercise later in life benefit the aging skeleton? Warden resoundingly says, “Yes.” Warden addressed this question in their studies by

Wheat producers need to inspect crop as it breaks dormancy

One of Indiana’s coldest, snowiest winters in recent history could have damaged some of the state’s winter wheat crop - a fact that necessitates field scouting, a Purdue Extension agronomist says. While snow cover insulates winter wheat from brutal cold, some parts of the state were hit with sub-zero temperatures when wheat was exposed. In that situation, the crop can suffer a number of injuries that force growers to decide whether to go ahead and apply nitrogen or terminate the crop. “Whether wheat is at risk depends on where it’s located in the state,” Shaun Casteel said. “The snow blanket protected the crop in some areas, but in others, particularly in the southern part of the state, we didn’t have that snow cover.” Even though winter wheat enters dormancy for the cold months, temperatures below 12 degrees Fahrenheit sustained for more than two hours can cause freeze injury to exposed wheat. As the crop advances into the jointing growth

stage, the temperature point of injury doubles to 24 degrees. Injury can be as minor as leaf-tip burn or as major as growing-point termination. In areas that had some soil freezing and thawing cycles, the wheat crop also is at risk for heaving, a phenomenon where water refreezes in soil pores, lifts the soil, pushes the plants up and exposes the roots to drying out. A third type of winter injury, Casteel said, is smothering. Wheat most at risk is that which is growing in low-lying field areas that ponded when snow melted, then froze again. “We had a thaw a couple of weeks ago that caused some ponding,” he said. “When ponded water freezes it cuts off the oxygen to the wheat roots underneath. Even though the wheat is dormant, it’s still respiring, so cutting off oxygen can cause plant death.” Wheat will start to break winter dormancy once temperatures consistently reach the mid-30s and 40s. At that point, growers will have a better idea of how the crop fared

over the winter. But for some farmers who prefer to topdress nitrogen fertilizer when the ground is still frozen, waiting until green-up presents other challenges. “Growers have to decide whether they want to spend the money to topdress wheat that might not be alive, or if they want to wait until green-up and then risk having to topdress nitrogen on soggy soils,” Casteel said. Another option is to topdress a lower nitrogen rate now, observe wheat condition at green-up, and then topdress liquid nitrogen at the jointing growth stage if wheat is viable. Casteel said that while this option isn’t ideal, it is possible. For farmers who find that wheat is in extremely poor condition, Casteel said it might make sense to tear out the crop and plant a spring cash crop such as corn or soybean. “There are some bad-looking fields out there that were exposed to extreme cold with no snow,” he said. “Some of those fields are completely brown, which means they don’t have any

testing retired Major League Baseball players who either completely ceased throwing when their professional career was over or continued to throw for an additional 20 years following their professional career. While continuing to throw during aging did not make the bones bigger, it did prevent the loss of bone material from the inside. “The net result was the maintenance of even more of the strength benefit of exercise completed during youth, with baseball players who continued to throw during aging maintaining over 50 percent of the bone strength benefit of exercise performed in youth,” Warden said. Ultimately, Warden said, the data indicate that the old saying of “use or lose it” does not necessarily apply to

the skeleton, and that exercise should be strongly promoted during growth to promote lifelong bone health. In particular, he encourages kids to perform at least 60 minutes of exercise daily, with at least a third of that time consisting of weight-bearing activities that expose the skeleton to impact forces in multiple directions such as running, jump rope, basketball, volleyball, tennis, soccer and hopscotch. Similarly, Warden said, the data indicate that exercise should be continued as we age to maintain as much of the benefits of exercise generated during youth, as well as to maintain muscle strength and balance, and reduce fall risk. Co-authors of the paper are Warden; Sara Mantila Roosa and Andrea Hurd, both members of the Center
