Bill Konyha by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com During an economic forum in Indianapolis on Nov. 19, Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann announced that Bill Konyha will take over as Director of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs starting Jan. 5. Konyha has been the president and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County for more than eight years and quarterbacked the successful Stellar Communities application process. “OCRA’s mission is to provide capacity-building solutions which assist Indiana’s rural communities in pursuing economic growth and quality of place,” Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann said during the forum. “We are extremely pleased to have someone with Bill’s experience in economic and community development lead our OCRA team.” The appointment means that Konyha will answer to the state’s top two officials. “I will be on the lieutenant governor’s executive staff, primarily in charge of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the agency that relates to rural communities and economic development, and I will be a member of the governor’s economic cabinet. I don’t know what that entails yet - whatever the governor tells me it does.” Konyha will bring his many years of experience to the agency.

on Sunday, Dec. 7 in the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. It was an evening of reflection, appreciation, and transition for the studio, set to the tunes of a holiday celebration. The studio’s first Christmas Festival took place in 1964 under the direction of founder Pauline Geyer. That night was a special evening for Vickie Lambert, who performed as a young dancer. Fifty years later, the evening served as a tribute to these two women. Lambert took over upon Geyer’s death in 1984, and this year, she handed the responsibilities of artistic director over to Lisa Traver, a student of Geyer who has been teaching at the studio since 1995. The performance was split into two distinct acts. The first featured selections from Christmas ballets performed over the past 50 years. Tom Spiece, who danced as a boy, and for whom “Vickie has managed to find more than fifty parts” over the years, gave the opening comments. The act featured selections from “The Nutcracker,” “Polar Express,” and “A Christmas Carol,” performed by dancers of all ages. Mandy LaSalle, daughter of Pauline Geyer,

Pumping iron for Christmas Spirit by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Saturday, Nov. 6, the Wabash County YMCA hosted a bench press competition to benefit Wabash County Christmas Spirit. Male contestants were tasked with bench-pressing their body weight as many times as possible, while the ladies had to put up half their weight. Local attorney Alan Zimmerman announced the competition, which featured five divisions and 23 contestants. The Christina Doan kicked off the competition for the ladies in style, posting a respectable 56 repetitions, which won her first place. It was noted that Doan, a trainer at the YMCA, doesn’t actually train for bench press. Christina Bagma put up 44 reps, while Angela Graham completed 33 and Jill Owens posted 24. Hannah Hall took top honors for the teen division with 14 reps. The men’s competition was split into four divisions by age. In his first bench (continued on page 5)

Canticles in Candlelight to be held Dec. 14

The choirs of Wabash Presbyterian Church and Wabash Christian Church will

present the cantata, Canticles in Candlelight, on Sunday evening, Dec. 14 at 7

p.m. in the Christian Church sanctuary. They will be accompanied by a small commu-

nity orchestra with instrumentalists LuAnn Craft, Sarah See, Paula Merriman,

Julie Sadler, Shelly Knee, Jeff Knee, Michael Petek, Lindsay Knee, and Bob Ferguson, with Susan Keefer at the piano and Rick Elliott on keyboard. Judy Ward will direct the musicians. Canticles in Candlelight, written by Joseph Martin, uses music, scripture, narration and the lighting of candles to convey the story of Jesus’ birth. With each movement of the cantata a special candle is illuminated for each reading. These candles rep-

resent prophecy, hope, peace, joy, love, the Christ candle, adoration and worship, and faith. The symbolism of the candles is that we are the candles. We are a light on a hill and a beacon of hope, peace, love and joy in the night. We are torches of light, ignited by grace and refined by fire. As we are consumed, we shine forth the glory of God. Animated by winds of the Spirit, we give ourselves to the miracle of the message; “Jesus, the Light of the World,

The Herald Angels Sing.” Original texts written by Mr. Martin include “Prepare and Celebrate,” incorporating a tune written by Johann A. P. Schulz in the late 1700’s; “Advent Longing,” incorporating the tune Nun Komm, Der Heiden Heiland; “Awake! Arise! Rejoice!” featuring original music and arrangement by Joseph Martin of a 15th century tune; “A Christmas Madrigal,” an arrangement of a text by J. Paul Williams and tune by Jon Paige; and “Turn Your Heart to Christmas,” an original text written by Joseph Martin, added to a Gustav Holst tune. An occasional classical music theme is alluded to in some of the accompaniments. Congregational singing will be encouraged with some of the traditional carols. Music directors for the two churches are Rick Elliott and Judy Ward. They and members of both choirs invite the community to come enjoy and participate in this musical celebration.

Vogel heading to Miss Indiana pageant by Emily Armentrout Katelin Vogel, 2013 Wabash High School graduate, daughter of Tim and Karrie Vogel, and former Wabash County Festival Queen, was crowned Miss Fort Wayne 2015 on Nov. 15. Vogel has been competing in pageants for a short time. Her pageant career started in 2013, being crowned Wabash Festival Queen. After graduating from Wabash High School and moving to Fort Wayne to study psychology at Indiana U n ive r s i t y - P u r d u e University Fort Wayne, Vogel went on to compete in the Miss

IPFW pageant just two weeks before the Miss Fort Wayne pageant. Vogel was first runner up in Miss IPFW. “My mom almost forced me to start pageants. She said it was for money and would help for school so I grumbled along and went ahead with them. I found that I really enjoyed them though, so I continued,” Vogel told The Paper. Along with the scholarships, Vogel believes one of the greatest things she has taken away from her time in pageants is the interview skills she has acquired. “If I had to tell girls what good comes from

pageants, it’s the interview skills. You have to learn to meet people and talk with them, using that etiquette that you normally don’t find in regular, colloquial conversation. You have to be confident in yourself and that has helped me and that’s why I have stuck with them,” explained Vogel. Vogel has learned a new appreciation for the communities she represents through her pageant experiences as well. “I think a lot of the fun I have had as a part of these pageants is getting to know the community you represent. When I was part

of the Festival Queen for Wabash, I got to go through and meet everybody and find out what community I had been living in my entire life. It was great finding what our community holds, and now it’s the same with Fort Wayne.” Though there is fun to be found in competing in pageants, they also taught Vogel skills beyond interviews. Winning these pageants also taught Vogel about time management. “Learn to multitask. As I get older, the more I realize I need to spread my time out evenly,” explained Vogel. “These pageants are serious and I represent the city and I have to hold myself accountable for all these events. It’s very important to learn to multitask, but also to plan and keep track of events.” To win Miss Fort Wayne, Vogel had to go

through an interview portion, an unscored dance portion with the other girls, a swimsuit, health and fitness portion, along with ball gowns and a display of her talent. Vogel, a 13year dance student at Wabash Valley, chose tap dance as her talent. “I would like to thank Lisa Traver. She is one of my dance teachers. She helped me choreograph the tap dance that I use and have used at all of my pageants. She is a wonderful lady who works really hard.” Winning Miss Fort Wayne means that Vogel will head to Zionsville in June to compete for the title of Miss Indiana, which could lead to her participating for Miss America. “There are so many local pageants, so there will be a lot of girls there. The pageant takes an entire week. Once you go

through a round with the judges, showing them your talent and going through the interview, the top 10 finalists go to Finale Night, and that’s how they select Miss Indiana,” Vogel told The Paper. Though Vogel once felt forced to be a part of pageants, she is thankful to those who

have supported her along this journey. “I would really like to thank my parents, Tim and Karrie Vogel. They really support me. My mammaw, Kim Barrus, has always been there to back me up. She is a big support. I would also like to thank a lot of my friends. They support me a lot.”

Konyha since he was hired. He said he’s disappointed to see him go, but understands what a fantastic opportunity it is. “First off, he’s highly regarded in the economic development field, and he brought us expertise and contacts. He’s extremely organized and a hard worker,” said Mayor R o b e r t Va n l a n d i n g h a m . “When we first got together, it was instant integrity, instant credibility, to have him on board. He’s been great to work with.” Va n l a n d i n g h a m also said that, to his knowledge, Konyha is the first member of his team to be recruited by the state’s top executive. This isn’t, however, the first time that Konyha has been approached for the p o s i t i o n . Ellspermann spoke with him about the position in early 2013. “It was an offer that I seriously entertained. It was the first

time I ever thought about having an opportunity to affect statewide economic policy, particularly as it relates to rural development,” said Konyha. “I was interested, but at the end of the day, I couldn’t bring myself to leave Wabash. I felt like I had unfinished business.” There’s no doubt that part of that unfinished business was the Stellar Communities designation, which Konyha and the committee had been working on for more than a year at that point. “That just goes to show you what type of person he is,” said Vanlandingham. “Bill Konyha was involved in things, he loves this community, and he and I have become good friends. I think when they offered him this position before, he didn’t feel like he was comfortable doing that.” After a missed attempt in 2013,

Wabash was designated a Stellar Community this past August. After the designation was final and the $28 million Strategic Investment Plan was given the green light, E l l s p e r m a n n approached him once more, and he accepted the position. In addition to ensuring the city’s Stellar success, the intermediate time allowed Konyha to learn more about the programs he will now oversee. “It gave me some background and some information, some experience that I think should be delivered to the rest of the state,” said Konyha. “The real value of Stellar is the process, and it’s not easy to understand that until you go through it a couple of times. It’s a plan that is worth a continued focus, and I think that is a process that really has to be delivered to the rest of the state.” Konyha starts with OCRA in four weeks, but plans to make the most of the time he has left at the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County. “I start at OCRA Jan. 5, so Jan. 4 at midnight will be my last day here,” he said with a chuckle. The transition is bittersweet for Konyha, who has grown quite fond of Wabash over the past eight years. In addition to the people he works with and for, there’s one aspect of his current job that he will miss. “The fact that this is my home, it’s my community, and the

things that I’m able to do professionally have an impact on my personal life,” said Konyha. “I came here as a professional, and it didn’t take me long to fall in love with the place.” Notably, Konyha will continue to live in the town he lovingly calls home, commuting to his office in Indianapolis. He hopes to continue moving a few local projects forward. There are currently three business attraction projects that he is spearheading, and if he receives approval, he will continue that work. “When it comes to some of the other projects, I think he’s just a phone call away,” said Vanlandingham. He will be forced to step away from other roles, such as his leadership of the Indiana Main Street Council. “Actually, the Indiana Main Street Council is part of the agency that I’ll be running, so we’ll be recruiting somebody to take my place,” said Konyha. He will continue to serve as president of the Wabash City School Board until then end of his term next June. Konyha’s successor is currently being selected by the E c o n o m i c Development Board. Vanlandingham, who serves as a board member, said the decision should be coming shortly. “He came into this community, he’s served this community very well, and he’s going to be missed, but we’ve had eight

good years will Bill Konyha. He’s taught us how to do things and how to do them right,” said Va n l a n d i n g h a m . “We’re going to pick the right person to take over what he started, and we’re going to keep moving on.” Though Konyha will likely be remembered for his role in attracting businesses, revitalizing downtown, and ensuring the success of the Stellar bid, it’s the larger ideas of cooperation and collaboration that he hopes will live on. “The most important thing we’ve done is tear down a bunch of silos and build a big sandbox that we all can work in. We all bring our gifts and talents and skills. We worry about succeeding project by project, and not necessarily succeeding as individuals or individual organizations. It’s not about taking credit, it’s about the community succeeding,” said Konyha. “I’m a firm believer that, as far as small communities are concerned, only those that really focus on improving the quality of place will survive.” More than a year ago, Konyha was named a “Sagamore of the Wabash” by Governor Pence. Through his new position in the governor’s cabinet and as director of OCRA, Konyha will have the opportunity to serve the 18 counties that the Wabash passes through, as well as the states other 74.

The act’s final performance was a tribute to Lambert and included video of Lambert dancing on her own and with students. Former students shared their thoughts on what Wabash Valley Dance Theatre meant to them and how Lambert influenced their growth as dancers and people. The theme of act two was “Dancing Through the Decades.” From Aerosmith to N’Sync and Aretha Franklin to Beyonce, the selections were eclectic to say the least. Nancy Barton and Tracy Watson were given the opportunity to reflect on their dancing careers at the downtown studio.

To end the evening, Wabash Valley Dance Theatre performers of the past took the stage, clad in 50th Anniversary t-shirts, to perform an anniversary dance choreographed by Lisa Traver and set to the song “Time of My Life.” The night’s dancers returned to the stage for the finale, and as confetti flew over the stage, Lambert and Traver were congratulated with huge bouquets and thunderous applause. Pauline Geyer brought a passion for the art of dance to young students in Wabash more than fifty years ago. Vickie Lambert carried on her legacy as artistic director for 30 years, and with this year’s Christmas Festival complete, the torch has officially been passed to Lisa Traver. If Sunday’s show is any indication, Wabash Valley Dance Theatre is in good hands.

Community Foundation of Wabash County sees continued success from “Begindergarten” Begindergarten is a six-week jump start program for children who will be entering kindergarten in the fall. The children in this program have typically had limited to no preschool experience, or have been identified as needing additional supports. The program is

taught by certified teachers at each of the Wabash County school districts, and is offered free of cost. Three years of local results confirm that the rate of school readiness improves with even a short term school experience. In its first year, 2012, Begindergarten

enrolled 30 students. In 2013, 55 students participated, and 67 participated this year. The program uses DIAL-4 pre and postassessments to measure the students’ school readiness levels, which has shown that overall, students’ school readiness has averaged 80% after the completion of six weeks in Begindergarten. Mandi Jones, kindergarten teacher at Manchester Elementary, has t a u g h t Begindergarten for the past two years. As a Kindergarten teacher, she experiences first-hand the differences in students who come to school in the fall ready to learn and those who are not. “A c a d e m i c a l l y, kindergarten is tough and the need for preschool is high. However, not everybody can afford preschool or thinks it is necessary, so we offer the Begindergarten program for students who need those experiences. From social skills like taking turns, sharing, raising our hand, or walking in a line, to academic skills such as letter names and sounds, and recognition, there’s a gap between those students with no prior

instruction,” said Jones. Working with these students, Jones is able to see the results of the program. “For students who cannot attend preschool or have a parent work with them at home, there are limited options available to help them prepare for kindergarten,” she said. “If they come unprepared, they could fall behind quickly. Luckily, the Begindergarten program is fully funded by the Community Foundation of Wabash County and we are able to help students succeed.” In 2012, the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County chose to commit half of its Good Deeds unrestricted grant money to advancing educational attainment levels in the county. One focus of increasing educational attainment is early childhood education. Despite large investments nationally in high school completion and college and career readiness, research shows that one of the most effective uses of education dollars is in preschool and school readiness. Economists claim that for every dollar spent on preschool education, communi-

ties receive a $7 return on investment. Studies suggest that children who receive structured education before school begins show significant academic, social, emotional, and economic advantages later in life. Additionally, those who come to school ready to learn are less likely to fall behind throughout their schooling. The C o m m u n i t y Foundation partners with all three county school systems to offer the Begindergarten program to prepare Wabash County children for kindergarten, with a focus on those who have not had any preschool experience. The grant that annually funds Begindergarten comes from Good Deeds endowments at the Community Foundation, which are supported through unrestricted contributions. Since 2006, the Good Deeds endowments have provided $1,253,670 in grants to support Arts & Culture, Community and Civic Development, E c o n o m i c Development, E d u c a t i o n , Environmental, Health and Human Services, and (continued on page 7)

CVB, EDG look impact of tourism on economy

Visit Wabash County, in partnership with Economic Development Group of Wabash County, has engaged Rockport Analytics to conduct a Tourism Economic Impact Analysis for Wabash County. The economic importance of tourists to a community extends well beyond core hospitality and transportation sectors. Tourism Economics offers a solution to the efforts of destination marketing organizations such as Visit Wabash County and to industry associations that marry rigorous methodology and compelling communication to raise the profile of tourism as an economic engine. The basic questions an economic impact study usually addresses are: -How much do tourists spend in the area? -What portion of sales by local businesses is due to tourism? -How many jobs in the area does tourism support? -How much tax revenue is generated from tourism? -How much income does tourism gener-

ate for households and businesses in the area? “These studies gauge the contribution that tourism makes to state and local economies,” stated Mark Newman, executive director for the Indiana Office of T o u r i s m Development. ”The travel, tourism and hospitality industry is the sixth largest industry in the state, so the impact is far reaching and significant. Every household benefits from a vibrant tourism economy. In 2012, the average Hoosier household saved $472 because of sales tax paid by leisure travelers.” The Tourism Economic Impact Analysis should be completed within the next 60 days. Information gleaned from the study will direct Visit Wabash County in making key operational and marketing decisions. Understanding the concepts and methods is critical to interpreting, evaluating, and applying economic results. “The principal motivation for a business or region to serve tourists is gen-

erally economic,“ said Christine Flohr, executive director for Visit Wabash County. “An individual business is interested primarily in its own revenues and costs, while a community or region is concerned with tourism’s overall contribution to the economy, as well as its social, fiscal and environmental impacts. A good understanding of tourism’s economic impacts is therefore important for the tourism industry, government officials, and the community as a whole.” Tourism’s economic impacts are important considerations in state, regional and community planning and economic development. “Economic impacts are important factors in marketing and management decisions,” explained Bill Konyha, President and CEO of Economic Development Group of Wabash County. “Communities need to understand the relative importance of tourism to their region, including tourism’s contribution to economic activity in the area.” For more information regarding the

Purdue, FSA team up for Farm Bill workshops site at w w w. a g e c o n . p u r d u e. e d u / c o m m e r cialag or just type Center for Commercial Ag into your favorite search engine. Discussion will focus on Agricultural Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage programs authorized by the Farm Bill. Crop producers must select one of the new programs, which will replace the direct program payments of previous years. There are two plans available through the Agricultural Risk Coverage program, also known as ARC. The ARC-County option estimates individual crop revenue based on countywide projections. Under the ARC-Individual option, farmers receive payments based on their own past revenues, on a whole-farm basis. Under the Price Loss Coverage program, or PLC, payments are made on a crop-by-crop basis if the national price of that commodity falls below the reference price established in

the Farm Bill legislation.” Jim Mintert, director of Purdue’s Center for C o m m e r c i a l Agriculture, said the information provided in the workshops is important because crop producers must now choose among coverage options that are much different from prior government programs. “During the workshops farmers, lenders, and landowners will learn how the new program works and also have a chance to work through some examples so they will better understand how to make program decisions that are best for their individual circumstances,” he said. During the meetings experts will also explain the process for base reallocation, updating program yields, and program election, said Julia Wickard, state executive director of the Indiana FSA. “Producers must make a one-time decision to retain or reallocate crop bases, to retain or update pro-

Each session will run from 1-4 p.m. and includes discussion about base reallocation and updating program yields for both ARC programs and PLC. There will also be an opportunity for participants to meet with experts from Purdue and the Indiana FSA. Refreshments will be provided.

Edward Jones ranks No. 1 in National Survey of Financial Advisors Firms For the 20th time, the financial services firm Edward Jones ranked number one in WealthManagement.c om’s annual survey of the nation’s six largest financial services firms. The magazine randomly selects financial advisors nationwide and asks them to rank their firms in various categories. Edward

The firm scored top marks (9.5) for its online client account information and 8.8 for the quality of its mobile applications, according to WealthManagement.c om. “This ranking reflects several things that set us apart in the industry: our solu-

Stirring it up with Angie Baer

I love everything about this season. Though it can be harried and down right hectic, still, I love Christmas. I asked the children in my class to tell me what their favorite thing about Christmas was. Hearing their response from the heart of a four year old was endearing to say the least.One little girl said “Santa knocks and knocks on the door until my Mom goes to the door and lets him come in with a bunch of presents.” Their joy and excitement is contagious. A few years ago I had a little boy named Hank in my class. Two years later His sister Millie was also in my class.At Christmas time their Mother would make the most delicious caramels I have ever tasted. They just melted in your mouth. I was the lucky one to receive them as a gift.She graciously gave me the recipe and since then, I make them every year and give them as gifts. Here are just a few tips when making caramels.

1. You must stir constantly while it is cooking. 2. Use a pan with a heavy bottom 3. Use a candy thermometer 4. Let caramels cool completely before cutting and wrapping in wax paper. Caramels You will need: - 1 cup butter - 2 1/4 cups brown sugar dash of salt - 1 cup light corn syrup - 1 15 oz can of sweetened condensed milk - 1 teaspoon vanilla

Melt butter in a 3 qt. saucepan. Add brown sugar and salt, stir until throughly combined. Stir in light corn syrup,mix well. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Cook and stir over medium heat until candy reaches firm ball stage or 245 degrees. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and pour into a buttered 9x9x2 inch pan.

He finds all kinds of reasons why he can’t perform. Another player faces the same adversity and becomes stronger,

mentally tougher, and more determined. His play becomes progressively more inspired and enthusiastic. In spite of the confusion and craziness around him, he continues to move forward, and in the process, becomes an inspiration to his teammates and to his coaches. Why does one player fold under the pressure and the other seem to thrive on it? The difference is that one athlete mentally structured the difficult situation so that it became highly threatening, and the other successfully saw it as ch a l l e n g i n g . Whether situations are seen as threatening or challenging is under our own control, a control acquired by structuring our thoughts and ideas in positive, constructive directions.” AS ALWAYS, DO ME A FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

I miss you so very much The two years you’ve gone away! Instead of missing you less I miss you more and more each day! I wish so much to talk to you To hear your voice again To tell you that I love you so And that you’re my best friend! To laugh with you just one more time Or walk down the street. To sit in church and hear you sing As you sat beside my seat! I know that you’re not hurting now And that is a comforting thing. I know that you’re with the Lord A joy that salvation brings! Forty-two years is a very long time To get used to someone’s smile! Yet I would do it all again I’d walk through every mile! Words cannot express the loss I still feel today! No one can ever take your place You’re in my heart to stay! I thank the Lord Almighty for Sending you my way! I’m living my life So when it’s over I can see you again someday!

19 DINING & ENTERTAINMENT Old-Fashioned Christmas at the Thomas Marshall House THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

December 10, 2014

The Thomas Marshall House in North Manchester will be open Dec. 13, from 1-4 p.m. “It will represent an old-fashioned Christmas,” said local artist and historian Steve Batzka. “People didn’t observe Christmas

like they do today. It was a much simpler time. The house will be decorated as it might have been in 1854, when Thomas Marshall was born.” Marshall was born in North Manchester and became governor of Indiana and Vice

President of the United States. His birth house, on north Market Street next to the library, was completely restored and furnished by the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society to its 1852 condition. It is open to the public

on the first Saturday of each month, but will be open this December on the second Saturday. After Dec. 13, the house will remain closed until next spring. The NMHS’s Center for History also observes a winter hiatus from mid-

December through m i d - M a r c h . Although the Center is not open for gener-

al visitors, groups may arrange tours any time, and staff are available on

weekdays to assist with research or accept items donated to its collection.

Bash Boutique announces charitable donations Bash Boutique is announcing a plan to donate 10 percent of its Saturday sales throughout the month of December to four local Wabash County charities: *Living Well in Wabash County (Dec. 13) *Special Olympics (Dec. 20) *Access Youth Center (Dec. 27)

Owner, Amber Noone said of the contributions, “December is sort of a ‘payback month’ for Bash Boutique. We have received so much help from Wabash and the surrounding communities—from our planning and inception, and particularly since our opening in September. We

couldn’t be more grateful for the enthusiastic interest and help we have received. So, now we feel it is important to assist those who need us most by supporting these wonderful Wabash‐based agencies that do so much all year round.” Bash Boutique is located in downtown

Wabash at 49 West Market Street and is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information, call 260‐274‐1300 or visit www.facebook.com/pages/Ba sh‐Boutique.

Jacob Harrell and Katherine McDonald wed Jacob Allen Harrell and Katherine Danae McDonald were united in marriage by Reverend Matt Robinson, on Oct. 11 at Southport Church of the Nazarene in Indianapolis. The bride was given away by her father, Daniel McDonald. The rehearsal dinner was held at the Southport Church of the Nazarene on Oct. 10, and was hosted by the groom’s parents, David and Mary Beth Harrell. The food was catered by Qdoba. The wedding party included the Maid of Honor, Caitlin Hetzel, friend of the bride; the Matron of Honor, Laura Kaighen, friend of the bride; and bridesmaid, Mary Jo Harrell, sister of the groom; along with flower girl, Maelee McDonald, niece of the bride. The Best Man was Steven Hicks, uncle of the groom; with groomsmen Jonathan Harrell, brother of the groom; and Devin Carr, friend of the groom. Ushers included Kyle McDonald, brother of the bride, and Jordan Eckman, friend of the groom. The ringbearer was Ell McDonald, nephew of the bride. Music was provided by Joshua Koch, friend of the couple, Dee McDonald, brother of the bride, and Jessica McDonald, sister-in-law of the bride. The reception was held immediately following the ceremony at the Southport Church of the Nazarene, with 170 guests in attendance. There was an onsite caterer, with Hannah Bryant Humble Crumble Creations, and DJ Kurt Wallace. The couple will go to the Bahamas over for their honeymoon in late December. They currently reside in Indianapolis.

Wheat certification deadline announced Farmers that planted wheat this fall with the intention of harvesting next summer need to certify the wheat by Dec. 15, at their local FSA office. Wheat growers have traditionally reported their wheat crop in

the summer along with their corn and soybeans, but rule changes implemented in 2013 to make FSA and crop insurance reporting dates more uniform now requires the wheat to be certified by the December

date. Failure to report your wheat by the Dec. 15 date will result in a late file fee of $48 per farm being charged for wheat certified after Dec. 15. Wabash County FSA personnel are

available from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday to complete the required p a p e r w o r k . Appointments are not necessary but can be made by calling 260563-3145.

We were up and running - moving into the present location on Cass Street - on March 1, 2005. The rest is an exciting history, one of community support, benevolent outreach and expansion of services, meeting needs locally and literally around the world. Board membership has changed some, staff has changed, leadership has changed but the emphasis remains the same; to live out Matthew 25:34-45 in practical daily situations. Jesus says “when you do “this” to the least of these, you do it as unto me.” I am thankful this is the continued focus of Lighthouse

Mission, and I congratulate the Board of Directors, leadership and staff as they celebrate their 10th anniversary. My prayer is that the next ten years and beyond will be a tribute to the Lord’s provision and blessing as they daily become the hands and feet of Jesus, reaching out to those in physical need and allowing the Spirit of God to flow through them to meet the needs of those who are poor in spirit. Thank you all for your continued support of this vital ministry in your community. The needs are great and often unseen but I promise you, they are there.

Apaches top Eastern behind Hall’s 31 points

by Gary Andrews Two ten points runs by the Wabash Apaches and the hot hand of Christian Hall led Wabash to a 65-58 win over Eastern Friday. The Apaches trailed in the second quarter when a 10-point run gave them the lead that they never relinquished. Cody King put up the first points of the game to give the Apaches a 2-0 lead, but the Comets responded with an 8-2 run to lead 8-4. Trailing 11-5 the momentum started to switch when Taylor Vigar connected and was followed by a Christian Hall three to draw the Apaches to within one at 11-10. Eastern hit two free throws with 1:27 left, but the Apaches

bounced back with a bucket from Tyler Hough and one from Hall before the buzzer to lead 14-13. The Comets would get the first bucket of the second quarter to take the lead back at 15-14 when Wabash caught fire. Cody King hit back-to-back buckets that started a 10-0 run to put Wabash up 24-15. King had three buckets during the run with Hall and Vigar each chipping in with a bucket. Eastern would score the final five points of the quarter as Wabash led 24-20 at the half. Chase Dirig would start the third quarter by draining a three, but the Comets kept it close until 30-26 when the second run came. Christian Hall would nail a three as the

Apaches went running for 8 straight points. Taylor Vigar had a bucket and two free throws with Cody King hitting a free throw. Wabash led 3826 with just under two minutes left. After a King free throw Wabash led 39-28 with a quarter to go. The Apaches exploded for 26 points in the fourth quarter and they needed every one of them as the Comets caught fire, scoring 30 to make it a game. Christian Hall started the quarter with a bucket and two free throws to make it 43-28, looking like the Apaches were going to run away with it. That’s when Eastern caught fire, scoring 10 of the next 23 points to cut the Wabash lead to 47-42. Getting buckets from Hall and

King the Apaches held the Comets off, but led just 55-49 with 2:03 to play. Eastern started the foul game, fouling the wrong guy as Hall converted five free throws down the stretch for 18 points in the quarter as Wabash held off Eastern 65-58. Leading the Apaches was Christian Hall with 31 points. Cody King added 18, Taylor Vigar 8, Tyler Hough 4, Chase Dirig 3, Juwan Carter 1. Wabash won the junior varsity game. Leading Wabash was Eryk Weber, Austin Vinopal, Travis Easthom and Kaleb Kelsheimer with 6 points each. Luke Mattern added 5, Justin Beauchamp 5, Matt Jones 4, Cal Stone 3.

by Emily Armentrout On Sunday, Nov. 30, following the Indianapolis Colts vs. the Washington Redskins game at Lucas Oil Stadium, two Southwood Elementary football teams, the Steelers and the Colts, joined a team from Oak Hill to play their own games on the gridiron. The Southwood Steelers, coached by Matt Whitesel, and the Southwood Colts, coached by Ed Rathbun, joined Oak Hill coach, Mark Stefanatos, on the sidelines, coaching their 4th and 5th grade teams in a once in a lifetime experience. “Mark Stefanatos arranged for both Southwood teams to play at Lucas Oil Stadium. We were able to go down as a team and watch the game, and then play on the field afterwards. It was an experience of a lifetime for my boys,” Rathbun told The Paper. “It was a great opportunity and opened their eyes to play at a bigger venue. Not many kids get to go to an NFL game and run out the tun-

The Lady Norse varsity girls’ basketball team improved to 4-3 (1-0) with a 38-19 win over Manchester Saturday night. The Lady Norse turned in yet another solid defensive effort, holding Manchester scoreless in the first quarter while allowing only 19 points. Northfield led 9-0 after the first stop and 18-6 at the half. Manchester cut the Norse lead to 20-10 when Northfield went on a 9-2 run to end the quarter and led 29-12 with a quarter to go. Northfield won the fourth quarter 9-7 on their way to the 38-19 final. Arie Kennedy led Northfield with 12 points. Jacklyn Peas added 11, Cherish Leming 8.

It was a once in a lifetime experience,” added Whitesel. Each Southwood team played against the Oak Hill team. The Steelers and Oak Hill were locked in a slugfest, neither team

able to score in the shootout game style. For the Colts, getting kids on the field who hadn’t seen much game play during the season took precedence. “We played well but

my coaches and I didn’t go down in competitive mode. We had a successful regular season and we went into this with one agenda, and that was to have fun,” Rathbun (continued on page 23)

Southwood Elementary football teams play at Lucas Oil Stadium... continued from page 22 explained. The Southwood Steelers beat the Southwood Colts, 7-0. “The kids were playing, but it was more defensive against Oak Hill. Against the Colts, they were able to run it in and do their end zone dances,” Whitesel told The Paper. For the teams to participate in this experience, they had to sell 100 tickets to the Colts vs. Redskins game. When the coaches presented the idea to their team, players and parents alike responded with enthusiasm and the teams were able to sell their tickets. “We presented it to our team as a goal and it was something for them to work towards,” Whitesel said. “I wanted the boys to be surprised so I waited and told them, as a team, after their championship game. There were a lot of sad faces because we had just lost our first and only game, so

when I told them, it was excitement and shock,” added Rathbun. Many kids who play football look up to NFL players as heroes, and the experience of not only getting to take in an NFL game with your buddies, but also play on that same field, is an experience the players, coaches and parents alike won’t soon forget. “It meant a lot to me. We’ve been playing pretty well and I have loved playing on the Steelers’ team,” Jason Oprisek, Steelers player, told The Paper. “It was a good experience for the kids. They were all pumped about it. I think they just had fun with it,” Jason’s dad, Paul Oprisek, added. “It was a long day, but it was fun. Hopefully they’ll get there for state in high school and they’ll all be on the same team then. Sandra Weaver came down to support them. How many superintendents do

that?” “It was a great opportunity; a once in a lifetime opportunity,” continued Whitesel. “Before a coach, I’m a father. I love all my players as my own so there was a lot of pride as a dad and as a coach to see the boys have this opportunity,” added Rathbun. The Southwood teams would like to thank Mark Stefanatos for setting this opportunity up, along with Dr. Sandra W e a v e r , Superintendent of MSD of Wabash County for going down and supporting the teams. Also, they would like to thank Mike Davis for being their referee for the games. For the Steelers, Katie Honeycutt and Beth Whitesel also took photos and they would like to thank Central Indiana Ethanol and First Farmer’s Bank and Trust for being their sponsors.

Short handed Squires top Wawasee by Gary Andrews The Manchester boys basketball team took a major hit this week when leading scorer Chase Fierstos went down with a broken foot. The Squires regrouped and went to work with out their leader Friday, defeating Wawasee 44-37. The Squires trailed 9-8 after the first stop, perhaps with everyone learning a new role. Manchester got two buckets each from Chainey Zolman and Braydon Sewell. Manchester got

going in the second quarter with Koehl Fluke and David McAtee getting in on the action. Manchester won the quarter 14-8 with Fluke draining a three and McAtee hitting one. Chainey Zolman led the Squires in the quarter with 6 points. Manchester led 22-17 at the half. For the third quarter in a row the Manchester defense held Wawasee to single digit scoring, winning the quarter 10-9

to increase their lead to 32-26 with a quarter to go. Freshman Koehl Fluke led the way with 5 points, including a three pointer while Chainey Zolman and Keelan Norwood each had a bucket. The Squires would not let Wawasee get any closer as they out scored the visitors 1211 in the fourth. Chainey Zolman led the fourth quarter charge with 7 points. Koehl Fluke added 5. Chainey Zolman led the Squires with 19

points. Koehl Fluke added 14, Braydon Sewell 4, David McAtee 2. Manchester won the junior varsity game 47-39. Kane Gable led the Squires with 14 points. Bailey Ness added 11. Manchester fell in the C team game to Oak Hill 37-32. Hayes Sturtsman had 12 points, Parker Yard 8, Jake Schannep 4, Braydon Lassitor 4, Nathan Self 2, Braxton Wilson 2.

Knights fall at Huntington

WABASH STUDENT ATHLETES for November are Skyler Hall (left) and Claire Cromer (right). (photo by Emily Armentrout) by Emily Armentrout For the month of November, Wabash High School chose two student athletes as their athlete of the month. Skyler Hall, wrestling, and Claire Cromer, girls’ basketball, were selected as the November Student Athlete of the Month. Skyler Hall was nominated by Coach Jake O’Neill. “I nominated Skyler because of his work ethic on and off

the wrestling mat, as well as his leadership on our wrestling team. His passion for the sport of wrestling is inspiring to all of us coaches and his teammates. His record is 5-1 going into County,” Coach O’Neill told The Paper. Claire Cromer was nominated by Coach Matt Stone. “I nominated Claire because not only has she been our leading scorer but

she has been a great leader on and off the floor. She has also shown tremendous sportsmanship by handling everything that has been thrown at her and taking everything in stride,” Coach Stone told The Paper. Being named the November Student Athletes of the Month adds Hall and Cromer to a growing list of students that will be honored at the end of the school year.

by Gary Andrews The Southwood boys’ basketball team made a run at Huntington Friday, giving the Vikings all they wanted the first half before falling 7450. The youthful Knights went toe to toe with the Vikings for a half, at one time leading in the second quarter. Southwood fell behind early but a bucket from Alex

Harmon and a three from Carson Blair knotted the score at 6 when a Viking 13-5 run ended the quarter with Huntington leading 19-11. Playing a 4A school on their home court and trailing after one you can either give up or play like there is nothing to lose. The Knights chose the second option and behind hot shooting from Robbie Cole

and Carson Blair mounted a comeback and took a 27-26 lead on a Brandin Frazier bucket. The taller Vikings bounced back and eventually led 36-29 at the half. Things went south for the Knights in the third quarter as they struggled to find the bucket and keep Huntington away from theirs, losing the quarter 21-7 and trailing 57-36 after

three. Southwood would play right with the Vikings in the fourth, losing the quarter 1714 for the 74-50 final. L e a d i n g Southwood was Robbie Cole with 12 points. Alex Harmon added 10, Matt Nose 8, Noah Kirk 8, Carson Blair 6, Peyton Trexler 2, Brandin Frazier 2, Clay Hinrishsen 2.

Cold third quarter costs Lady Apaches by Gary Andrews The Wabash Lady Apaches went on the road to Tippecanoe Valley Saturday, leading at the half before a cold shooting third quarter cost Wabash in a 6048 loss. Wabash led 16-15 after the first quarter and 29-23 at the half before the

dreaded quarter. Valley out scored Wabash 16-4 in the third and 21-15 in the fourth for the 6048 final Wabash senior Claire Cromer became the 8th Lady Apache in the game to go over the 1000point barrier in her career, leading Wabash with 26

points. Shelby Stone added 7 points, Sydney Mullett 5, Sarah Puckett 4, Madison Barden 2, Abby Stein 2, Katie McCauley 2. “We played a very good first half to grab a 6 point lead but a shaky third quarter did us in. We missed 17 shots in

the paint, which didn’t help. Tipp Valley is an extremely good team and we just made too many mistakes in the third quarter. Very proud of Claire for another great effort and passing 1000 point mark,” said Coach Stone.

dinner provided by women of Bachelor Creek. Aaron McClary, youth pastor at the church, spoke to the moms about how important they are, even when they don’t feel like what they do matters. He told them that their children are not accidents but that they were handcrafted by God. At this time of year we think about how God chose a mom to bring His Son into the world and McClary pointed out that they are part of that tradition of bringing good things into the world through their children. The next meeting will be held on Monday, Jan. 5. Any persons interested in joining Teen Moms may register at the LIFE Center or by calling 260-563-7275.

Dear editor, On behalf of Christian Heritage Church, we want to thank all that helped with the Thanksgiving Dinner this year. It would not be possible to have such a successful event as this, each year, without the help of the many volunteers and the businesses and people that donate to the cause. I would also like to thank the The Paper for generously helping to get the word out each year so that we can reach those that are in need of a meal. We were able to provide around 400 dinners again this year. Most of all, we need to thank God, our heavenly father, for all his blessings and all he has done for each and everyone of us; without him nothing is possible. God bless you all.

ON DEC. 4, family and colleagues gathered at Key West’s Old City Hall in Key West, during the October City Commission meeting to witness an official pinning ceremony and swearing in, recognizing the promotion of three department members, including Wabash County Native Sean Brandenburg, who was promoted from Lieutenant to Captain. Capt. Brandenburg has been a law enforcement officer since 1990, serving his first 12 years in Indiana and joining the Key West Police Department in 2002. Capt. Brandenburg has been involved with the Special Response Team and Mounted Units, served as the Detective Sergeant in Special Ops Unit and – since 1012 – served as the night shift operations Lieutenant. He received the Life Saving Medal on two separate occasions in his time with the Key West Police Department. In addition, he served as unit coordinator for the department’s K-9 Unit. His canine partner, Wind, retired in 2011. (photo provided)

In honor of their parents, Barbara and Douglas Vawter recently created the Marietta & Paul L. Sell Memorial 4-H S c h o l a r s h i p Endowment at the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County. Marietta and Paul Sell were active members of Wabash County, supporting various community, church, and 4-H events. They strongly believed in and modeled the virtues depicted by the mission of the 4-H pledge; I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country and my world, and the 4-H motto “To Make the Best Better.” Giving thanks with grateful hearts and proclaiming the goodness of God was also important to the Sells. “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever” (Psalm 107:1 NIV). When reminiscing about her parents, Barbara fondly describes them as “dedicated, goal oriented individuals who were good managers of their resources.” She recalls, “They placed high importance on family, friends, and reaching out in their community.” Growing up in North Manchester as a 10-year 4-H Club Member, Barbara felt those same qualities instilled upon her by her parents were also echoed in her experiences in 4-H.

“4-H has meant a lot to my family – the club teaches responsibility, perseverance, leadership, and doing the best you can. Members receive support and encouragement from adult leaders, while the program promotes independence, characterbuilding, and self-confidence,” says Barbara. The Vawters believe these all to be important skills young individuals can learn and use throughout their lives. The Vawters chose to support their hometown, North Manchester and encourage participation in 4-H by creating the Marietta & Paul L. Sell Memorial 4-H S c h o l a r s h i p Endowment in their parents’ memory. To be eligible for this scholarship, recipients must be a United States citizen and a graduate of Manchester High School within three years of application. To demonstrate academic preparedness, a minimum grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale must have been maintained in secondary or postsecondary education. Additionally, recipients must have completed at least six years in 4-H in Indiana. The scholarship can be used only for students of fulltime status at any accredited two- or four-year public or private institution of higher learning, and is renewable for one year. “Education is a pathway,” said (continued on page 27)

Wabash County Christmas Spirit seeking help Dear editor, Wabash County Christmas Spirit finished entering all names for the 2014 Christmas Season. We have 1,279 children signed up and 495 families, with approximately 550 Tags that need to be filled. We cannot be more thankful for the support and donations we have currently received. With the additional names that were entered into our database from paper forms, we currently are in need of either new toys and clothing or monetary donations so that we can buy for these children. We will be shopping this week to help fill some of the Tags that need to be filled but more than likely

once we shop this week, it will deplete our current funds. Additionally, we need volunteers to finish out the week strong. Volunteer hours for this week are as follows: M o n d a y , Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 4-8 p.m. Tuesday: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13 is our delivery day. Our site opens at 8 a.m. to start filling vehicles with gifts to be delivered. Anyone who wishes to help deliver on delivery day please be at White’s Residential and Family Services, Cottage #5 by 7:45 a.m. We will be carrying out packages from three different location of the cottage. Box Trucks, buses,

SUV’s and vans will be loaded from the patio doors. Anything with cargo space will be loaded from the kitchen doors, and then cars will be loaded from the front of the building. The EMA’s will be on site to help direct the flow of traffic with music playing in the background. All gifts will be delivered to the addresses that were indicated on the sign up forms. Please, plan to be home at the time of delivery, most deliveries will be made in the morning hours; however, some may be delivered the in afternoon. If we are unable to drop off the packages then a note will be left with contact information on where and when

your packages can be picked up. We will not leave packages unattended. I would like to remind everyone who signed up for Wabash County Christmas Spirit that Shop with a Cop and WCCS are comparing their list on who needed Christmas assistance. If your name(s) are on both lists, your name(s) will be removed from one of the list. Families will not receive assistance from both programs. Again, thank you to everyone who has donated and/or volunteers already. Wabash County Christmas Spirit committee

Give one last gift this holiday season with a blood donation The American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to give one last gift this holiday season and discover the true meaning of giving by donating blood. Wabash County residents have an opportunity to donate on Tuesday, Dec. 16 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church,

located at 110 N. Cass St. in Wabash. Busy holiday schedules and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, can often mean fewer donors giving blood. But for patients with cancer or other illnesses or injuries requiring blood transfusions, the need for blood is constant and doesn’t get a holiday break. The gift of a

blood donation only takes about an hour and can give patients a chance to celebrate more holidays to come. To encourage donations and show appreciation, all those who attempt to donate blood Dec. 24 through Jan. 4 will receive a long-sleeve Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.

Eligible donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with type O-negative, A-negative or Bnegative. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED-CROSS (1-800733-2767).

Manchester Intermediate School celebrates veterans VETERANS TALK WITH MANCHESTER Intermediate School students on Veteran’s Day. Pictured, from left: Jack Horoho, Ron Bonewitz, Dorlan Wagner and Doug King. (photo provided)

A program was given for the students of Manchester Intermediate School on Veteran’s Day with World War II veteran Jack Horoho sharing many of his experiences and showing a display of memorabilia. Other veterans including Ron Bonewitz, Vietnam, Dorlan Wagner, World War II, and Doug King, Koera, were on hand to share their experiences. Doug King also sang “Green Fields of France.” Past department president and Auxiliary Unit #402 Veteran’s Affairs chairman, Thelma Butler, closed the program talking about how Americans profess to truly love veterans on this day, but that it is important to remember that veterans are defending us 365 days a year. Warriors need advocates and that is why the American Legion exists. They are here to serve veterans, their families and the community. Veterans needs each other, but more importantly, the country needs our veterans. “Veterans don’t ask for much. They do not want to be in a special class, but benefits are a mere drop in the bucket compared to the financial burden and human cost of war. Veterans have given us freedom, security and the greatest nation on Earth. It is impossible to put a price on that. We must remember them, appreciate them,” said Butler. The American Legion Auxiliary Unit #402 served dinner to approximately 80 on Veteran’s Day, expressing their thanks and appreciation to all veterans.

Richvalley United Methodist Women hold December meeting Richvalley United Methodist Women met Dec. 3 at Cindi and George Price’s home for their Christmas meal and meeting. Amy Lauer assisted. Pug Price and Kyle Kelsheimer served the delicious meal that the Prices prepared. The lesson about Christmas was presented by Cindi Price. Amy Lauer read scriptures from Luke and Matthew. Recordings of “Mary, did you know” and “O Holy Night” were reverently listened to, as in quietness members

listened to Mrs. Price read the Christmas story in a different version. 13 members answered roll call with their favorite part of the Christmas story. Minutes were read and finances were reported on along with the amount given for the thanks offering. Patty Sausaman showed items she sewed that will be sent to Africa. Pam Smith led discussion on 1st and 2nd Timothy. Timothy was a faithful co-worker of Paul and scripture reminds all to not be

ashamed or afraid to witness for the Lord. Members are to study Titus, Hebrews and James for the next meeting, which will be on March 4, 2015. Hostess and lesson presenter will be Jane Long. Roll call response will be “where would you take Jesus on a date?” Carolyn Maxwell gave closing devotions with humor about Christmas gifts; the 12 days of Christmas; the Greatest Gift and prayer.
