Wabash Country Club set to become National Shrine of the Holy Shroud

and I bought one.” Orareo later visited a small shrine to the Shroud in Port Chester, N.Y., where he was influenced by a priest to become a spokesperson for the Shroud. “I’ve lectured quite a bit in the northeast about the Shroud,” Orareo said. “For the past 35 or 40 years, I like to think I have become that spokesperson.” Orareo’s collection, the largest private collection in the United States and third largest in the world, features an array of 500-year old artifacts and a 1,000 volume library, all of which will be housed in Wabash. “The focal point will be the crucifix on the wall in what was the Oak Room,” Orareo said. “We also have the earliest known engraving of the Shroud, which is dated 1578. With these types of artifacts, sunlight is a sensitive issue, and this building has beautiful windows with beautiful views that we are trying to work around.” The work inside the Country Club has been an effort to restore it to its natural beauty. Orareo hired Corky Ross of American Eagle Home Maintenance to lead the restoration process. “I cannot express how happy I have been with the job Corky and his guys have done so far,” Orareo said. “This building needed a lot of work when I purchased it. I was surprised by how much needed done to bring it back to where it needed to be.” After working level by level from the top of the Country Club to the ground level, Ross and Orareo were pleasantly surprised by what was found in the old kitchen. After completely dismantling and removing all the kitchen components and cinder blocks, an original limestone wall was found. The entire first floor; the porch, kitchen, and oak room, will all now house Shroud artifacts. The second floor will be a reception area; the third floor is Orareo’s living quarters, while the attic will remain a storage area. The basement will also be utilized, including the card room, which will become the library. The bar will stay intact, but will be incorporated to host various Shroud items. “This has been a huge undertaking and an adventure at the same time,” Orareo said. “The finished result will become a major center in Shroud research. Each time they unveil the Shroud, millions make the trek to see it. The Shroud is the gospel of the crucifixion illustrated.” Orareo said work is constantly progressing and he hopes to have a soft opening of the museum in April with a formal opening to follow in May. “I would like to open around the Catholic Feast of the Holy Shroud, which is May 4,” Orareo said. “That is the goal. It may happen, it may not. This work is moving along much quicker than I had anticipated.” With the opening, Orareo THE WABASH COUNTY POST OFFICE will no longer deliver wants those in the community to mail on Saturdays starting the week of Aug. 5.

(photo by Ashley Flynn) by Brent Swan The former Wabash Country Club is undergoing massive renovation after Boston resident Richard Orareo purchased the landmark at the auction held this past June. Orareo, one of the world’s largest collectors of Shroud of Turin artifacts and literature, hopes to convert the building into the nation’s epicenter of Shroud research. “I first heard about the Shroud on a television show back in Boston in the seventies,” Orareo said of his introduction to the shroud. “Even though I grew up Catholic and I have an Italian background, I had never even heard of the Shroud until then. At the end of the program they said to send a self addressed stamped envelope and they’d send a picture of the Shroud. With that picture came a listing of books about the Shroud that were av a i l a b l e ,

Saturday mail delivery to disappear Aug. 2013 by Ashley Flynn Starting the week of Aug. 5, 2013, the U.S. Postal Service will stop delivering Saturday mail. By delivering mail Monday through Friday, the Postal Service expects an annual savings of $2 billion. P.O. boxes will continue to get Saturday mail, and Post Offices currently open Saturday’s will remain open. Due to an increase in package delivery (14 percent since 2010), packages will continue to be delivered Monday through Saturday.

The Postal Service is advancing an important new approach to delivery that reflects the strong growth of our package business and responds to the financial realities resulting from America’s changing mailing habits,” said Patrick R. Donahoe, Postmaster General and CEO, in a news release on the Postal Service website. “We developed this approach by working with our customers to understand their delivery needs and by identifying creative ways to generate significant cost savings.” (continued on page 7)

Young girl struck by car, in need of second surgery On Dec. 16, 2012, 4year-old Allysin was struck by a car while walking with her father. She was taken by ambulance to Wabash County Hospital and was later flown to Lutheran Children’s Hospital in Fort Wayne. Upon arrival, she was treated for major scrapes on her left leg. Also her left hip was dislocated and the doctors had to put it back in place. The doctors also discovered that she had a broken pelvic bone and would have to undergo surgery to fix it. She was placed in pediatric ICU and underwent her first surgery on Dec. 18. In a 3-hour surgery, a screw was put in place to hold her pelvic bone immobile. She has spent the month she’s been

She is walking again and has exceeded doctors’ expectations.

The Senate passed the resolution by a vote of 33-16, moving it to the House of Representatives for further consideration. “While the Indiana Constitution protects the right to vote by secret ballot in government elections, it doesn’t protect it in labor elections,” Banks said. “According to the Center for Union Facts, 78 percent of households support secret ballots, agreeing that this is a fundamental right that protects individuals from possible coercion and intimidation. I believe it should be explicitly guaranteed in our state constitution.” To amend Indiana’s constitution, a resolution must pass both the Senate and House of Representatives in two sessions separated an election and then by approved by statewide vote referendum.

2nd industrial shredder added to ARC expands shredding & recycling services ARC of Wabash County, Inc., recently purchased a new industrial paper shredder with help from a grant through the Community Foundation of Wabash County. The large capacity shredder was purchased locally from Martin Yale Industries. The recent installation of the new shredder was crucial, due to the rapid growth of ARC’s Shark Shredding and Cardboard Recycling Business. A second shredder was needed to meet the demands of its customers, and it also gives people with disabilities served by ARC additional opportunities to work on the shredding jobs, resulting in higher earnings. The reality of identity theft is a major concern for everyone. Nearly every single person reading this article knows someone who has been a victim of identity theft. According to Kathy Bakehorn, ARC’s Sheltered Workshop Operations

Manager, “The document shredding needs of multiple area businesses and private citizens contributed to the tremendous growth of our shredding services.” She went on to say, “The key to ARC’s success is what the service offers to each customer. ARC offers

free pick-up of large loads of material, and no preparation, sorting or contracts are required. Smaller loads of material can be dropped off at ARC.” Nancy Hoffman, Executive Director, reports that “all employees go through an extensive back-

ground check, including criminal history, prior to employment and periodically thereafter. Employees also review and sign confidentiality statements annually and receive ongoing confidentiality training.” Businesses and individuals who would like more infor-

mation about ARC’s shredding service are welcome to contact ARC at 260-563-8411 or visit the operation at ARC of Wabash County, located at 595 South Miami Street in Wabash. Free cardboard pick-up and recycling services are also available through

sultants conducted a vast amount of research when choosing a design scheme and the technology surrounding the community. “Every facet, from the layout, color and textiles choices, rock wall fountain, lighting and equipment was chosen to provide the best experience for our guests and their families. This design will transform health, rehabilitation and wellness for our region. There is nothing like it in the region and we are extremely proud to offer this in the Billie Jane Strauss Wellness Center at Peabody,” says Jeff Jarecki, HFA, Peabody Executive

Director. The new wellness center is named for Billie Jane Strauss, who passed away in March 2004. She was the President of Peabody’s Board of Trustees and a leading community philanthropist. Her children and late husband, Don Strauss, led the effort to bring cutting edge rehabilitation, health, and wellness to the area. In their memory, we strive to honor their commitment to health and wellness by improving the quality of lives for those we serve. P e a b o d y R e t i r e m e n t Community is a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), offering

complete residential (patio homes, apartments, assisted living) and health care (short-term rehabilitation, long-term care) lifestyle options and resources on their pristine 33-acre campus. Founders James B. Peabody and his son, Thomas, believed that older adults deserved a life free from fear and worry. For over 80 years, Peabody has grown and advanced to continue this commitment for generations. Architects on the Billie Jane Strauss Wellness Center are Morrison, Kattman and Menze. Michael Kinger & Sons are the builders.

Grant application deadlines change at the Community Foundation of Wabash County

Beginning in 2013, the Community Foundation of Wabash County will distribute its Good Deeds Grants twice each year with application deadlines of March 15 and Sept. 15. A third cycle of grant making in January will focus on the strategic initiatives of CFWC. Good Deeds Grants are grants made to nonprofit organizations for projects that meet basic needs and enrich the quality of life in Wabash County. These funds allow the Foundation to help meet urgent and long standing needs of citizens in the county and also support the work of existing charitable organizations. The competitive program awards funds for arts and culture, community and civic development, economic development, education, the environment, health and human services, and recreation. According to Julie Garber, Program Director of the

( ( !

Foundation, “This is a change from the way grant funds have been distributed in the past. In 2012, the Foundation divided its grant-making program in two, committing half the annual proceeds to strategic initiatives developed by the Foundation and half to Good Deeds grants that organizations in the county compete for. Good Deeds monies are then divided between two grant cycles.” Any application will be accepted in the March cycle, but we especially expect to receive grant requests for summer and fall activities in this cycle. In September we will also review any application, but we expect to receive applications for winter and spring activities. Grant applications and guidelines can be downloaded from the Foundation’s website at www.cfwabash.org. Completed grants and copies can be mailed or dropped off at CFWC offices in

40 schools and districts selected to receive $10 million to reward great teachers

School corporations across Indiana have been selected to receive a portion of $10 million to recognize their best teachers. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett today announced the 40 schools and school corporations the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) will recommend to the State Budget

Committee as recipients of Indiana’s Excellence in Performance for Teachers grant. “A dramatic culture shift is taking place right now in our schools as a result of the education policies Indiana advanced in less than four years,” Bennett said. “These are the districts and schools leading that shift by implementing fair and comprehen-

sive evaluation and compensation policies that aim to develop all teachers and keep our finest in the profession.” The Excellence in Performance for Teachers grant was established by the Indiana General Assembly during the 2011 legislative session in an effort to help school corporations recruit and retain effective educators.

Selected applications featured performance and compensation systems aligned to state laws requiring school corporations to differentiate teacher performance, provide meaningful feedback to help all teachers improve, and financially reward their best teachers. The schools and districts listed below were selected out of 124 total applications

after a rigorous, multiphase review process. Funding received through the grant may only be spent to reward educators evaluated as “Effective” and “Highly Effective” using an evaluation tool that is comprehensive, considers student performance, and meets all requirements outlined in state law. 2013 Excellence in Performance for

According to market research taken by the Postal Service and major news media, approximately 70 percent of Americans support the change in effort to save money. “The American public understands the financial challenges of the Postal Service and supports these steps as a responsible and reasonable approach to improving our financial situation,” said Donahoe. “The Postal Service has a responsibility to take the steps necessary to return to long-term financial stability and ensure the continued affordability of the U.S. Mail.” The Postal Service has reduced costs by $15 billion since 2006 by reducing their career force by 28 percent and consolidating mail-processing locations. The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses, and they rely on the sale of postage, products and service to fund their operations. According to a separate news release, “The U.S. Postal Service ended the first three months of its 2013 fiscal year (Oct. 1 – Dec. 31, 2012) with a net loss of $1.3 billion. Package delivery continues to increase, but it is not enough to

offset the effects of declining First Class Mail (4.5 percent decline from last year), which is the Postal Service’s most profitable service category, and other costs beyond the Postal Service management control. The Postal Service reports that the first quarter is usually the strongest because of holiday mail. As a result of the losses, the Postal Service will continue to make cost-cutting actions. “By moving forward with the accelerated cost-cutting actions directed by our Board of Governors, we will continue to become more efficient and come closer to achieving long-term financial stability. We urgently need Congress to do its part and pass legislation that allows us to better manage our costs and gives us the commer-

cial flexibility needed to operate more like a business does. This will help ensure the future success of the Postal Service and the mailing industry it supports,” said Donahoe in the press release. The press release states, “The large decrease in total operating expenses is attributable to contin-

ued cost management actions and the Postal Service accruing of only one legally required payment this year to prefund retiree health benefits. In 2012, the Postal Service was accruing amounts related to two such payments – one rescheduled from the previous year. The Postal Service was forced to default on

both payments last year ($11.1 billion) and may be forced to default on this year’s $5.6 billion payment absent passage of legislation.”

Access Youth Center hosting monthly family nights As Access Youth Center continues to address and meet the ever-changing needs of the youth in this community, the need for positive parent/mentor interaction is a component we must address. According to a study from the LSU Research and Extension office, “Quality, fun times with parents are

important for children’s growth and development. These meaningful times spent together as a family help children feel important and nurtured. This helps children to develop in a positive way as they grow. Children will grow to appreciate the memory of these kinds of activities in the years to come.” The Access Youth

Center (AYC) is seeking to provide an avenue for parents and guardians to spend time with their children in an atmosphere that is free of interruptions and can be offered at no charge for the participants. The benefits of these AYC Family Nights will be played out in years to come in our community, as the youth who are

impacted from these activities become active members of our county. AYC hosts a special “Family Night” one Saturday a month and on the first Friday of each month. While parents are always welcome at the Youth Center, Family Night provides opportunity for parents, siblings and other members of the family dynamic to interact while participating in a specific event and also enjoy a meal together, all at

no cost to the participants. All youth are welcome and encouraged to attend, even if their family is not available to be with them at AYC. Examples of Family Night activities include a pool tournament and Bingo on Feb. 9, a Wii bowling party on March 9, and the Annual Fear Factor held on April 7. A free meal is provided with each activity. Some of those in attendance come just

to eat together, others enjoy the sometimescompetitive nature of our activities, and still others have stated that these evenings are a way to provide a “night out” that they couldn’t otherwise offer. These programs are in addition to the daily after school snack and tutoring program as well as the weekly youth group Bible S t u dy / C o m m u n i t y Action Night offered at the facility. AYC is a

United Fund Agency and also receives funding from the C o m m u n i t y Foundation as well as area churches, businesses and individuals. If you, your church or service group are interested in sponsoring a Family Night at the Access Youth Center, please contact our director, Liz Hobbs at 260-568-2530 or email at aycwabash@gmail.co m.

Butler Blue II to retire as Butler University Mascot

Butler Blue II, who has served Butler University proudly as mascot for nearly nine years, is retiring. Blue II (nickname: Blue) and his understudy, Butler Blue III (nickname: Trip), will participate in the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first â&#x20AC;&#x153;Changing of the Collarâ&#x20AC;? ceremony on March 9, Senior Day at Hinkle Fieldhouse, during the Butler menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball game against Xavier University. Additionally, the Butler University Student Foundation will host a ninth birthday party and retirement celebration for Blue on campus on March 29. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue II is in good health, but 8-years-old is getting up there for an English bulldog,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Kaltenmark, Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of Web Marketing and Communications and handler of the live mascots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue has served Butler so admirably all these years, and we want him to go out on top. Retirement will mean fewer appearances and less official business for Blue, but he will continue to come to campus on a regular basis and post on his various social media profiles.â&#x20AC;? An American Kennel Club-registered dog, Blue II became known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dogâ&#x20AC;? in 2010 and 2011 when Butler menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team played for the NCAA national championship. Blue II appeared on the floor of every Butler menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and Final Four basketball games, as well as some away games. Butler players touched him before each game for good luck as they were introduced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue II really galvanized the pride and tradition of having a live mascot at Butler,â&#x20AC;? Kaltenmark said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His daily presence on campus, online and at everything from athletic events to black tie galas made him a living and breathing fixture of the Butler brand. He was born for the role.â&#x20AC;? Blue II was bred by

Frank and Jeane King of Kong King Kennel in Lizton, Ind., and presented to Butler as a puppy. He was cared for by Kaltenmark, a 2002 Butler graduate and director of Web Marketing and Communications, who also served as his voice on Facebook, where he was liked by more than 7,500 people, and Twitter, where he had more than 11,500 followers. In 2011, Klout, a company that measures influence in social media, named Blue IIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twitter feeds among the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top 10 most influential accounts representing a college or university. The dog also had his own website, a vehicle provided by Don Hinds Ford, veterinarian care compliments of 1992 Butler grad Dr. Kurt Phillips, and a host of other sponsors such as the dog food brand Holistic Select.

Local pastor praying Father Sextus Don to hold Mass for Great Awakening Dear Editor, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” –John Adams, signer of the Declaration of Independence; one of the two signers of the Bill of Rights; and second President of the United States. Many citizens are gravely concerned these days, and I believe rightly so, about the current state of affairs in our nation, and what our future holds. I have come to the firm conclusion that for America to be restored to her former greatness, the answer is not in politicians or political parties, but in another Great Awakening. In the past, during times of great distress, God visited this land in powerful ways in what have become as Great Awakenings, or

national revivals, where God wakened the hears of me and women to the truth that “Righteousness makes a nation great; sin is a disgrace to any nation” (Proverbs 14:34) and that “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD” (Psalm 33:12). I implore all readers, regardless of political persuasion, to begin to pray regularly and fervently for God to send another Great Awakening to this land. I would humbly suggest, at the minimum, to ask God for a Great Awakening every time one sits down to eat, as he, or she, blesses their food. Times are serious. We need – no, we must have – another Great Awakening. “It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor,” – George Washington, Commander-in-Chief in the American Revolution; signer of the Constitution;

first President of the United States. It may well be our only hope. “And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” – Thomas Jefferson, signer and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence; third President of the United States. Please pray for a Great Awakening! “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” – God, 2 Chronicles 7:14. (To learn more, search “Great Awakenings” on the Internet.) Tim Morbitzer Pastor

METRO NORTH NEWS: 101 students received perfect attendance awards for the second grading period. Each of those chil-

dren received a Perfect Attendance Star necklace. There were 59 students who achieved perfect attendance for the entire first semester, from Aug. 14 to Dec. 20. All the names for first semester perfect attendance were entered in a drawing. Two names were drawn out to receive $25 Visa gift cards provided by Horace Mann Insurance. The lucky winners were first grader, Ashton Good, and kindergartener, Lucis Bever.

February 13, 2013

Metro North will have another drawing at the end of the year from the names of all students who earned perfect attendance for the entire year. They will be giving away two bicycles, donated by Horace Mann Insurance. A special day is coming up for Metro North students on Feb. 26. It will be Activity Day. Students may wear something related to an outside of school activity, such as dance, scouting, soccer, basketball, martial arts, etc.

This is to help children realize all of the opportunities that are available to them outside of school. Research shows that children who are involved in activities outside of school are much more likely to develop into healthy, caring, and responsible adults. Metro North has announced their Polar Pride winners for January. These students followed the Polar Pride guidelines: Be Prepared, Be Polite, Be Prompt, and Be Peaceful. The winners are: Kammie Parker, who read her library book at home; Maddison Archer, who did a great job following the Polar Pride guidelines during the fire drill; Eden Hoover, who was sitting quietly, and Ben Gaston, who is working very hard to learn and adjust to his new s c h o o l . Congratulations to all of these children. Senior Citizens Banquet, Saturday, Feb. 16, at 6 p.m. at the Roann Methodist Church.

The fair association of this city has decided to hire Frank James, the former noted Missouri bank robber and outlaw to start the races at the fair this fall.

Among other things he has adopted the profession of a starter of horse races and is considered one of the best in the business in the west.

Custom Barn Quilts now offered at K & M Floor Coverings

by Ashley Flynn Kent and Kurt Mullett, from K & M Floor Coverings, 1166 N. Cass St., introduced barn quilts to their inventory last week. It is estimated that barn quilts, which are an outdoor decorative item painted like quilt patterns, have been

around for 300 years. Barn quilts are most popular in states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, and Indiana. “It’s nothing new,” Kurt Mullett told The Paper of Wabash. “It’s just not something too many people know about around here, and we’re trying to

introduce them,” he said. The patterns can be put on 8x8, 4x4 or 2x2 plywood frames that are meant to be hung on barns, garages, or porches. There are currently 14 pieces on the floor of K & M that people can look at, and they have 40 different pat-

terns to choose from. Customers pick their own custom colors, and all supplies are bought from local stores. The paint comes from Big City Paints, and the wood comes from Builders Mart. Kurt has designed one of his own patterns, which he calls

the Star of Wabash. “This is just something I have a bit of interest in; something I think is cool,” said Kurt. “I’ve had a few people inquire about them, so I just decided I’d give it a shot and see if there’d be any interest in them,” he said. Kurt has owned his own business for 13 years, and he and his brother, Kent, started the barn quilts as a side project. The brothers, who have a 20-month age difference, have worked together for years. “Brothers are brothers,” said Kurt. “But it’s great, I

would rather work with him than anyone else.” Barn quilts are on display at K & M floor

Quillen appreciates Mary Ellen Clark and CASA Dear editor, This letter is my tribute to Mary Ellen Clark, the retiring CASA Director, and Wabash County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). I was a co-worker with Mary Ellen at her previous employer a few years ago. When I retired, Mary Ellen hired me as the CASA Coordinator. I worked in the office for two years and was a CASA volunteer. Mary Ellen has been very dedicated to CASA. It is a blessing

that she is going to continue to be involved in the program working parttime in the office with the new director, Dee Street. Before I started working in the CASA office with Mary Ellen, I knew a little about CASA because of my friendship with her. When I started working with the files in the office, I was shocked at the number of abused and neglected innocent children in Wabash County. I believe in the CASA program

CELEBRATING 80 YEARS: Helen Elrod’s family gathered Feb. 10 at Eugenia’s for a surprise birthday celebration. Helen turned 80 on Feb. 9. She has been a resident of Wabash for the past 48 years, having moved here from Indianapolis with her husband, Bob, and their children. Attending the celebration were Mark and Margo Elrod, Robin Klare, Rod, Brenda and Christy Hegel, Mason, Jessica and Andy Elrod, Zyan Elrod, Brady Adel and Madelynn Sorrell, Aaron, Erica, Kalib and Hunter Mabery, Whitney Klare and Gary and Sue Cleaver. (photo provided)

and the benefit it is to all these innocent children who are taken out of their homes and entered into the court system. Volunteers are needed to speak up for these children. I also commend Judge McCallen because he does consider each CASA volunteer’s independent evaluation of what is in the child’s best interest when making his court decision for a child. So, if any of you who are reading this letter are concerned about these innocent

children who are abused and neglected in Wabash County, please call the CASA office at 260-569-0533 and fid out how you can become a CASA volunteer and speak up for these children. Janet Quillen Wabash

The Wood Shed celebrates 35 years of business

RON MOORE OPENED THE WOOD SHED IN 1978. He builds custom furniture and cabinetry as well as other types of woodwork. (photo by Ashley Flynn) just did it,” Ron said. Ron approached woodworking in the same way. Other than working construction with his father and mandatory eighth grade woodshop, Ron had no formal training. “I learned by trialand error more than anything. Mostly I just work it out as I go. I’m still learning after 35 years,” he said. Ron and Kris build custom furniture and cabinetry, do repair work, and stripping and finishing.

“We do all kinds of stuff, but my favorite is building something from nothing, or from a picture or drawing,” Ron said. “A lot of times I just go from a picture of what someone likes. They’ll say I like this part, but I don’t like this or I want to change that. We make stuff that you can’t just go out and buy anywhere,” he said. Ron plans to continue building custom furniture for as long as he can. “I hope to do this as

long as I’m physically able, which may be about 10 – 15 more years,” he said. Kris and Ron do not have any children of their own, but Ron still has hope that someone will come along to carry on the business. “I don’t have anyone to step up right now, but I would like someone to,” he said. “It’s been fun because I like what I do,’ Ron said. “This little Wabash County has kept me busy for LANEY TEMPLE WON the drawing for a $25 gift card for having perfect attendance last semester.

My family recently lost our Mother/Grandmother at the age of 93 years. My mother, fondly known as “Gracie” by the local friends and caregivers, recieved excellent professional and personalized care from several local organizations. On behalf of my family, I would like to thank Rolling Meadows Health Care Center, New Hope Hospice, and Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Home for their outstanding care given to our Mother/Grandmother, Grace Tyo VanGelderen. It is wonderful to know that we have these outstanding organizations that practice the very definition of servant leadership in our community. In addition, a special thanks to all of our friends and family for their prayers, cards and thoughtful words of comfort.

SQU I RREL CREEK

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com In 1975, Ron Moore, lifelong Wabash resident, graduated from Purdue University and began his search for a career in biology. During his search, he worked with his father in construction, a job he had done throughout high school and college during the summers. Ron’s father was a contractor and had a well-equipped shop, which Ron used to build furniture for him and some friends. One of his first pieces was a sewing cabinet he made for his wife, Kris Moore, before they were married. She still has it and still uses it 35 years later. After a few years of working with his father, Ron decided to focus his attention on finishing work rather than continue his search for a biology job or continue working construction. “After I started figuring it out, I thought, well, maybe I can make a living out of this. So I rented a building, bought the equipment and started doing what I’m doing,” Ron told The Paper of Wabash. In 1978, Ron opened The Wood Shed to pursue his passion for woodwork. He works there with his wife, Kris, who used to own a dress shop in Wabash. “I’m pretty lucky because I didn’t do all the research you’re supposed to do when starting a business. I

35 years, so that’s pretty impressive. I just have certain clientele that keep coming back time and time again. I’ve been lucky that Wabash has made a living for me.” The Wood Shed does work for both residential and business customers. They serve clients mostly in Wabash County, but have done work for out of state customers as well, and have gained their reputation mostly by word of mouth. We’re here to provide a service for people they can’t get anywhere else,” said Ron. “When the time comes for some one of a kind item, or some-

comfort in the water among the children we serve through this program. Over the course of the program, some students worked to overcome fears while others progressed in their techniquie. One benefit every student received was c o n f i d e n c e . According to one teacher, “confidence gains are this program’s most meaningful outcome.” There are kids in Wabash that don’t know how to swim and the fear of trying something new could prevent them from discovering what they are capable of accomplishing. Through the Y’s partnership with schools (MSD, City, St. Bernard) support from Wabash County Hospital, every 4th and 5th grader in Wabash will have the opportunity to overcome fears, build confidence, learn how to be safe around water, and develop skills that can lead to a lifelong love of swimming. Together, we are helping kids discover their potential. The Water Safety Initiative is one example of how the Y is working to enrich lives and strengthen our community.

Lady Apaches edge Squires for fifth straight sectional title It was a classic game of Hoosier hysteria. The Manchester and Wabash girls’ basketball teams were meeting Saturday for the Wabash sectional championship and a trip to the Lapel regional. Manchester made it to the championship game with a convincing 49-23 win over Lewis Cass and a 54-41 win over North Miami. Wabash made it to the championship game by winning a 43-35 nail biter over county foe Southwood, and then made it to the championship game by nipping Northfield 36-29. Manchester was seeking their first sectional championship since 2007, while Wabash was trying to win their fifth in a row. In a game that wasn’t decided until the last 10 seconds, Wabash would prevail 33-27. Less than a minute into the game, Claire Cromer nailed a three pointer to put Wabash up 3-0. In a game were defense was physical, having to stop play at one time for blood when Bekah Brunn took a shot on the chin, the two teams battled for position, with neither being able to find the bucket for the next 6 minutes. Kyleigh Hampton hit for Wabash with 1:10 remaining to stop the drought to go up 5-0, with Manchester responding the last 45 seconds. Tabby DeWitt hit, followed up by a bucket from Kalene Feshour and Wabash led 5-4 after the first quarter. The pace would pick up a little in the second quarter, but neither team could get clicking on all cylinders. Claire Cromer started scoring to put Wabash up 7-4. Bekah Brunn would then connect on two free throws for the Squires and then score on a feed from Kayla Flack to give Manchester their first lead at 87. The lead would change four times in the next four minutes until Abby Stein hit for Wabash to give them a 13-12 lead with 2:06 left in the half. Kyleigh Hampton and Lyndsie Thomas would finish the scoring in the half with buckets for the Apaches and Wabash led 17-12 at the half. To start the third quarter, it looked as though Wabash might run away from Manchester. Two minutes into the quarter, Lyndsie Thomas hit and was followed by two free throws from Sarah Puckett to give Wabash their largest lead at 21-12. Off the Puckett free throw,

Kayla Flack took the ball out of bounds, hitting Kalene Freshour in stride on a full court pass for a lay-up to make it 21-14. After a Hampton bucket made it 23-14, neither team could find the bucket the next 3:38 with the exception of one Wabash and two Manchester free throws, making it 24-16 with a quarter to go. Manchester, unwilling to just roll over and go away came out smoking hot in the fourth. Autumn Brewer hit two free throws and was followed by a Bekah Brunn bucket. With 6:39 to play, Brewer hit two more free throws, with Brunn making one a minute later, and with 5:38 remaining had cut the Wabash lead to 24-23. In the next minute the Apaches would find themselves getting into foul trouble as Hampton picked up her fourth along with Cromer. With 4:44 remaining, Tabby DeWitt would hit two free throws and Manchester was up 25-24. Cromer erased the Manchester lead a minute later with a three to put Wabash up 27-25 with 3:00 left and the strategy game was on. Manchester would work the ball for nearly a minute, looking for a good shot when Lyndsie Thomas came up with a steal with 2:00 remaining and the Apaches immediately went to the four corners. Manchester would finally foul with 55.2 on the clock and call time out. Thomas missed the front end of the one and one, with Manchester grabbing the rebound, only to be calling for traveling with 43.5 left, making it 29-27 and fouling. Claire Cromer hit both free throws and the Squires hurried down the flood, with Hampton blocking the shot and Manchester fouling with 1.4 remaining. Cromer again, drained both free throws for 33-27 final. Leading Wabash was Claire Cromer with 15 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists. Kyleigh Hampton added 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 6 blocks. Lyndsie Thomas had 6 points and 1 rebound. Abby Stein chipped in 2 points and 1 steal. Sarah Puckett had 2 points and 2 rebounds. Katelyn Vogel had 1 rebound and 1 assist. Kristen Ford had 2 assists. Charlie Pardo had 1 assist. For Manchester, Bekah Brunn and Tabby DeWitt had 7 points each. DeWitt had 1 block and 7 rebounds. Kalene Freshour and Autumn Brewer had 6 points

people he has met so far. “I grew up in a small town outside of Boston, so I kind of know the feel of small towns. I could not be happier with the decision to bring my collection to Wabash.”

Literacy skills discussed at Teen Moms

Teen Moms met on Feb. 4. Nancy Snyder, the children’s librarian at Wabash Carnegie Library, presented information on developing literacy in children. She emphasized that moms are their children’s first teachers and the importance of reading to children every day. For very young children, pointing to pictures and naming objects in the pictures is important. Bedtime is an especially good time to read books. During

the craft time, the moms continued working on simple tied yarn scarves they had begun at the last meeting. Ann Emrick of Bachelor Creek Church provided the meal. The next meeting will be held on Feb. 18, at the First United Methodist Church in Wabash. Any persons interested in joining Teen moms may register at the LIFE Center or by calling 563-7275.

Solloway thanks supporters of “Bowling from Another View” author Dear editor, Cannonball Lanes hosted Josh Hyde of Warsaw, author of the book “Bowling From Another View”. Josh was born with Cerebral Palsy so he bowls from a ramp. He did a bowling demonstration and signed books sold to local bowlers. Josh is an honorary member of the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association) and follows all of the regional and national tournaments. He also publishes a newsletter and has a website, www.joshhydebowling.com, where he talks about the PBA, offers bowling tips and discusses the latest in bowling ball technology. They also did a raf-

fle for a bowling ball, which raised almost $400 and plus supplies for the Wabash County Animal Shelter. Sandy Kastner was the winner of the bowling ball. Pro Shop owner, Mark Solloway said, “It’s amazing how much control and accuracy Josh has bowling from a ramp. Even the amount of “hook” or “curve” he gets. I’ve been bowling for more than 30 years and I got a lesson that day.” “I want to thank everyone who donated and contributed to this event.” Mark Solloway Bowlers Depot Pro Shop

DAR held monthly meeting Jan. 8 The Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held their monthly meeting on Jan. 8, at St. Matthews Church in Wabash. Barbara Amiss read the President Generals message on restoring our Nation’s cemeteries and preserving the stories they tell about our history. Regent Jean Wright opened the meeting by reading a letter from N a t i o n a l Headquarters as follows: NSDAR is disappointed to learn that false and incorrect information which has recently been circulating regarding the 2011 edition of the DAR and Missal and the use of the name Jesus Christ in

prayers and other ceremonial events of the National Society. First, the question was posed by a national media group that if the motto of DAR is God, Home and Country, then why is DAR taking out references to God in its printed material. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, as currently written, the 113 page Ritual and Missal contains over 300 references to God. Second, the allegation has been leveled that Chaplains and others have been told not to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, this is an absolute falsehood. Each Chaplain and other officers are strongly encouraged to create their own prayers into which

they may insert the name of Jesus Christ as deemed appropriate for the occasion and the audience. This is what the President General wrote in her blog of April 10, 2012 when questions about the change to the Ritual and Missal first arose. The Executive Officers believe that the new Ritual and Missal can be used by members of any faith, substituting words as they wish, changing the prayers to suit the needs of the meeting in which they are being used. At our Executive meetings, knowing that we are all Christian, we pray in the Name of Jesus. When those are present whose faith is unknown, we pray in God’s name. However, we all recognize that when Christians pray in God’s name, we are, indeed, praying in Christ’s name because the Christian faith believes in the Trinity of God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We also understand that our Jewish members know God as Jehovah or Yahweh, Muslim members use the name Allah for God and there are those whose spirituality may have a still different higher power or none at all. We have in no way mandated that one must or must not use the name of Jesus Christ in the prayers. In our DAR rituals, prayers are included. Most of the prayers begin with Our Father or Almighty God and end in Your Holy Name Christ’s prayer, known as The Lord’s Prayer, the prayer of St. Francis of Asisi, Easter and Passover prayers and prayers for other religious observations are included.

removed from the Ritual and Missal. That simply is not the case. In promoting the importance of freedom of religion upon which our country was founded, our Founding Fathers intended for all religions and not one specific faith to be allowed and respected. The Constitution of the United States of America is clear on this issue as are many of the letters and writings of these great leaders. It was in spirit of our Founding Fathers desire for freedom of religion that the most recent changes to the Ritual and Missal were made. Regent Wright gave an interesting program on the various Presidential pets of the Presidents while living in the White House. George Washington had hound dogs. John Adams had a mixed breed dog named Satan. Thomas Jefferson had two grizzly bears. James Madison had a parrot. He was the first President to hold a lavish party in the White House. James Monroe had a cocker spaniel called Buddy. The first wedding held in the White House was during his term. John Quincy Adams had an alligator that he kept in the bathroom. After two months, he sent it back to France. He read the Bible cover to cover every year. Andrew Jackson had a parrot that cussed. Martin Van Buren had two tiger cubs. William Henry Harrison had cows and goats on the front lawn. He was the only president to study medicine. He was also the first President to die in office. John Tyler had a horse he called General. The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12, at St. Matthews United Church of Christ. The program will be on American History with a continuation of Presidential pets.

Four Spirituals were sung by Myra Perkins, which included: “Sometimes I feel Like a Motherless Child,” “By and By,” “Deep River” and “Ev’ry Time I Feel De Spirit.” These Spirituals were

arranged by H.T. Burleigh. Myra was accompanied by Peggy Coppler. The next number was “This is My Song” (Be Still My Soul) arranged by John Innes and based on Finlandia by Jean Sibelius. This piano/organ duet was played by Carolyn and Luvernia. Carolyn Eppley played an organ solo titled “Partita on Dix” (For the Beauty of the Earth).

the piano. This song is by Donna Adkins who is a Christian composer. It was arranged by Mark Hayes. Myra Perkins then sang “O Rest in the Lord”, an aria from the Oratorio “Elijah” by Felix Mendelssohn. She was accompanied by Peggy. The program concluded with “The Organist’s Audition,” with Luvernia as the narrator and Carolyn as the organist. It was written by Dennis Johnson – using variations on the hymn tune “Blest Be the Tie that Binds.” Refreshments were provided by Carolyn Eppley, Susie Jones and Luvernia Wilson.

I’s early departure from service in 2004, no official ceremony had been established to introduce and transition new mascots. Thanks to local jeweler Reis-Nichols Jewelers, a new University tradition has been born. ReisNichols and Butler University have partnered to commission a new, custom collar to be used for the ceremony and future official events. This new official custom collar will feature sterling silver elements, including the University seal, athletic logo, Butler Blue logo, and mascot names, on blue leather. “We are honored to be a part of this chapter in the University’s history,” said BJ Nichols of ReisNichols. “The custom emblems that will adorn Blue’s collar were created on our state-of-the-art auto cad computer design program, and we’ve enjoyed having Trip come in for his ‘fittings’.” In addition to the collar, local artist James Kelly of Mad Lab Studios will be unveiling a portrait of Blue as gift to the University. The portrait will likely be unveiled at the March 9 game and again at the campus birthday/retirement party, which is scheduled for noon to 2 p.m. March 29 in Atherton Union on Butler’s campus. The party is open to the public. Blue will be on hand to greet the campus community, pose for pictures, and collect a few much-deserved parting gifts.
