Wabash native leads Samaritan helicopter Manchester University fireworks to be held July 4

by J.D. Sparks Wabash County native Brad Wilson realizes he’s lucky enough to both love his job and be helping people in the process. Wilson was recently named the head pilot of the Samaritan helicopter, a flying ambulance that transports patients for Parkview Regional Hospital in Fort Wayne. “When you get to enjoy what you are doing so much and you also get to do something that helps other people, that’s a rare thing,” Wilson said to The Paper. “It’s not really a job you get a lot of praise for, but when you have a family member of someone you’ve flown and someone you’ve helped and they recognize you and thank you, you really feel good about yourself. “It feels good to help people.” Wilson has been flying helicopters and airplanes for 23 years since his days in the Army. He began flying helicopters in Chicago for the NBC news affiliate and also the Loyala University Hospital before moving to Fort Wayne in 2002. Wilson said one of the reasons he took the job in Fort Wayne was to be closer to his family. Despite being born in Wabash, he grew up in Fort Wayne. In fact, his first emergency flight for Parkview Regional was to Wabash County Hospital, where he was born. “I was born in Wabash and I grew up in Fort Wayne and my parents are still on the west side of Wabash,” Wilson said. “When I had an opportunity to fly with Samaritan, I took it. That way, my family could be

It’s time to strike up the band and light up the sky with Manchester College’s annual 4th of July Celebration in North Manchester. The free community party begins at 8:30 p.m. on July 4 at the athletic grounds of Manchester University, with fireworks at 10 p.m. Manchester’s Independence Day gift to the community last year wowed more than 1,500 visitors with music, a patriotic speech or two, $1 food, kites for kids and fireworks, of course. The Manchester Civic Band sparks the evening, led by Reggie Smith in favorite patriotic tunes and toe-tappers. A welcome at 9 p.m. is followed by patriotic readings by community members. Crowd favorite Bart Corricelli, an Iwo Jima veteran and former commander of the Eel River American Legion Post, will prime the patriotism.

His workday begins at 6:30 p.m. and lasts until 6:30 a.m. “On any given day, I could be doing nothing but sitting down and doing paperwork to having absolutely no time and doing flights all night,” Wilson said. “It’s pretty busy in the summertime with people being outside and doing more things. Things get busy with people boating and stuff like that. And, there’s always stuff to do back in the office when I’m not on

a flight, too. “I take care of the payroll, keep track of documents, and you have to fill out some other paperwork after every flight.” With the temperatures hovering above triple digits, Wilson has been needed in the helicopter more than usual. “On top of it already being more busy in summer, you get a few more calls because of heart attacks and strokes,” he said. “These are people who might be pushing it to begin with, though.” Wilson said the Samaritan is equipped with all of the up-to-date technology. “It has autopilot, radar, XM weather—if we pick someone up and the ER staff decides we need to go to Indianapolis, we can check how the weather is right then and decide if we can go,” he said. “We also have night

vision goggles and the Samaritan has the screens for those types of things. It does everything.” Parkview Hospital doesn’t own the Samaritan helicopter, noted Wilson. Wilson works for and the Samaritan is owned by Air Methods Corporation (AMC). “I’m also kind of the middle man between the hospital and AMC and I smooth things over between the two,” he said. “AMC takes care of the pilots and the maintenance for the helicopters so the hospital doesn’t have to worry about it. “Parkview leases the aircraft. AMC makes it easier on them.” Wilson’s parents, Dan and Melinda Wilson, currently reside in rural Wabash. His grandmother, Jean Wilson, and his uncle, Jon Wilson, also live in Wabash County.

Manchester underwrites the $5,000 cost of the fireworks, which town firefighters launch on the east edge of campus. Guests will want to bring lawn chairs or blankets for the band’s performance, near the Physical Education and Recreation Center (PERC). Afterward, the soccer field bleachers provide a premium view of the fireworks. Beware, they fill quickly. North Manchester Rotary will serve up $1 hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, water and soda throughout the evening to benefit local community projects and reading programs. For safety of the guests and campus, sparklers and other personal fireworks are not permitted. The rain date is Thursday, July 5, at the same time and place.

Public fireworks display postponed until Sept. 1 by Danielle Swan The June 25 meeting of Wabash City Council began with three ordinances being passed on second reading. The first was to vacate a portion of Daniels Street between Orchard and Branch streets. The second ordinance amended the City Code to bring it up to date with the current practice of asking contractors to make repairs to streets damaged during the course of their work. The third ordinance amended City Code to address the issue of handicapped parking spaces within the city. Council Member Joan Haag asked if any Downtown merchants had expressed concern regarding the parking ordinance. Council members and Mayor Vanlandingham reported that no one had expressed concern. At the request of constituents, Council Member Haag asked if there has ever been Council discussion regarding a requirement that trains refrain from sounding horns in areas that have gates. City Attorney Doug Lehman reported that federal statute requires that every crossing be outfitted with gates before a city may require trains to silence their horns. Several crossings in Wabash are not outfitted with the necessary gates. Lehman also mentioned that occasionally the gates malfunction or people disregard them so the horns still serve a purpose even at

crossings that do have gates installed. Council Member Bonnie Corn inquired about the status of the $600,000 Brownfield Assessment Grant. Mayor Vanlandingham responded that no action has been taken, but that community leaders in Wabash and North Manchester are identifying areas that they hope to have examined. Mayor Vanlandingham had until June 27 to determine if the annual public fireworks display would be held despite the dry conditions and burn ban in place. He ended up making the decision to cancel the fireworks. The display has been rescheduled for Sept. 1. Some council members expressed concern regarding regulation of private fireworks displays. Lehman informed the group that cities and counties have no authority to ban fireworks, even under a burn ban. “What I can say is anybody who fires off fireworks in this kind of condition is going to be liable if it starts a fire and you’re talking about the possibility of a pretty expensive fire,” Lehman said. As of July 2, Wabash County was still under a burn ban. Mayor Vanlandingham closed the meeting by reading a letter of congratulations to Northfield’s baseball team for earning the State Championship.

Wabash County Foundation expresses thank you

PICTURED ARE: (from left to right) Clint Kugler, director of YMCA, and Teresa Pulley, community educator for Wabash County Hospital foundation, receiving two-week free family passes to the YMCA, the passes were presented to 5th grade students in Wabash County. (photo provided)

Dear editor First, a big thank you goes out to all of the staff of Wabash County schools for being so receptive and truly caring about our kids in

Wabash County. It takes a lot of people to make these things happen. We dealt with subjects from bullying and the effects on your health, to asth-

ma with lots of classes given on “Don’t Start” smoking programs. The average age in the U.S. when most kids start smoking is 8 to 10 years old. Through

all our programs including lunchtime health fairs, I have been with over 4,000 kids. I believe this generation of kids is going to be much smarter about smoking and the other heath issues due to being educated better. We are so fortunate to live in a community that truly cares about our kids. Wabash County Hospital Foundation would like to thank the following; Living Essentials, for sponsoring our programs, Mental Health Association, for bullying books, YMCA, for family

passes, Pizza Hut, for pizza coupons, and the Cancer Society, for Educational brochures. Thank you all so much. Teresa Pulley RCP, CRT, AET Community Educator for Wabash County Hospital Foundation

Indiana’s corn yields affected by drought

Questions and concerns about the potential of Indiana’s corn crop are increasingly on the minds of growers throughout the state, especially in areas hardest hit by the current drought. Rainfall continues to be hit or miss as isolated storms rumble through the state, drop-

ping decent amounts of rain here and there but missing large areas entirely The moderate temperatures enjoyed throughout the state since the end of May delayed the onset of severe drought stress symptoms in many areas, but those temperatures have recent-

ly climbed to abovenormal levels and, coupled with excessively dry soil conditions, increasingly reveal the severity of the situation in field after field. Areas in the state have already “gone over the brink” to disaster status relative to yield potential. Eighty-seven percent

‘the paper’ PETS OF THE WEEK Available For Adoption At The Wabash County Animal Shelter:

of the state is currently estimated to have subsoil moisture content that is rated short to very short and is higher for this time of the season than any year since 1988. Estimated crop condition continues to worsen; down to 27 percent good to excellent as of June 24 and is lower for this time of the season than any year since 1988. For some, the effects of the drought began after planting in fields where seedbed moisture was simply inadequate for germination and emergence of the crop. Large areas in these fields are simply devoid of corn or soybean plants. With no rainfall after planting, many farmers elected not to attempt replanting knowing that the second attempt at establishing a crop would not be successful. The lost yield potential in such fields obviously cannot be recovered. For other fields where initial stand establishment was satisfactory, the severity of the drought stress on crop development has slowly become worse and/or has escalated in recent weeks as the combination of drought and heat stress worsens. The severity of the stress is such in some fields that plants are simply dying. Some growers have already

worked with their crop insurance adjusters to assess the yield loss potential of their damaged fields and have basically abandoned the crop for this year. Statewide Effects? This early in the season, it is difficult to estimate the effects of the drought on the eventual statewide average grain yield because we cannot accurately forecast the weather for the remainder of the season. Trend yield with “normal” weather for corn in Indiana for 2012 would be 163 bushels per acre (bpa). There is a moderate linear relationship between crop condition ratings (percent good and excellent) throughout June and grain yield at the end of the season that accounts for about 33 percent of the variability in historical grain yields. Based on that relationship alone, the predicted statewide average grain yield for corn as of the end of June would be 145 bpa or nearly 11 percent below the trend yield. However, if the drought continues and crop condition worsens, this estimate would quickly become outdated. For comparison, statewide grain yield for the drought years 1988 and 1991 were 31 percent and 27 percent below trend yield, respectively.

Much of the state’s corn crop will enter the critical pollination phase over the next two or three weeks Continued lack of adequate rainfall during this period will place undue stress on the crop. Forecast excessive heat during the same time period will only amplify the stress; resulting in delayed silk emergence, premature pollen shed, tassels failing to emerge from whorls, potentially inviable silks or pollen, poor synchrony between exposure of silks and availability of pollen, incomplete pollination success, or abortion of newly developing kernels. Yield loss per day during pollination due to severe stress is often estimated to be 5 to 10 percent. Yield loss for any given field could easily approach 100 percent with continued drought/heat stress due to complete failure of the pollination process. Assessing Drought Effects on Yield Growers who elect not to abandon drought-stressed fields prior to pollination will be wanting to assess the yield potential of their fields prior to harvest in order to estimate the potential loss of net income and/or to revise their grain marketing strategies for this fall.

Assessing yield potential for an individual field cannot be done with any accuracy prior to pollination, but rather depends on assessing kernel set later in the grain filling period. The challenge with assessing yield potential of drought-stressed fields is that of obtaining ear samples that adequately captures the variability of the yield potential throughout a damaged field. Immediately following pollination Given the severity of the drought stress in some fields, growers may want to assess the success of pollination itself within the first week after pollen shed by sampling ears and conducting the socalled “ear shake” This assessment simply gauges the degree to which pollen successfully fertilized the ovules on the ears via the silks, but does not predict the risk of kernel abortion in the few weeks following pollination or estimate grain yield. However, the test will at least give you an idea whether pollination was an absolute failure or was moderately successful. Unfortunately, there will be fields that appear to be only moderately stressed according to windshield surveys that, in fact, are severely stressed to the point that pollination will be a near or total failure. Better to find out the bad news soon rather than be totally shocked later in the season. Prior to harvest Assuming that pollination occurs successfully, then pre-harvest grain yield estimation revolves around kernel abortion and grain filling. Unfortunately, one cannot begin to estimate grain yield for an individual droughtstressed field until the crop is beyond the milk stage of the grain-filling period where the risk of kernel abortion tapers off. The risk of kernel abortion is greatest immediately following successful pollination and decreases to nearly zero by about mid-milk stage of grain fill. Once the crop reaches or surpasses the dough stage of grain fill, the “ballpark” grain yield potential can be estimated by documenting effective plant populations and sampling ears throughout the field.

As a parent, you may have concerns about your children’s ability to handle the assets they will someday inherit from you. Perhaps you feel that your children lack the financial maturity to manage and protect a sizable inheritance. Or, maybe you’re worried that sudden wealth could have a negative impact on them in terms of retaining values and a good work ethic. One popular solution to this concern is the use of an incentive trust. Such trusts can reward or discourage a wide range of behaviors on your beneficiary’s part. You simply set up guidelines that you believe your children should follow. Since you create those conditions within a legally binding trust agreement, you can be certain that distributions will be made only if your terms are met. Here are some common types of provisions included in incentive trusts. • Education — You may require your children to finish a certain level of education or maintain a certain grade point average to qualify to receive trust funds. • Family Business/Employment — You could reward a beneficiary who

takes over a family business. Or, you could encourage gainful employment by matching a percentage of the income that your children earn. • Charitable Causes — To promote philanthropy, you might set up a trust that will match your child’s charitable donations or provide incentives for the performance of volunteer work. • Healthy Lifestyle — You could restrict the distribution of trust funds to your children if they engage in destructive or illegal activities. When placing conditions on an inheritance, it is important to build in flexibility so that the trust provisions do not prove counterproductive. Be sure to explain the incentives clearly in your trust agreement. Think carefully about what you’re trying to accomplish and try to make the incentives simple and achievable. We can help! If you would like to find out more about how your estate might benefit from the use of an incentive trust, please contact us at 260-726-7158. Our experienced professionals will be happy to help.

9 The Y is ‘Serving Up Summer’ with the Walmart Foundation to Fight Child Hunger www.thepaperofwabash.com

July 4, 2012

While summer should be a time of fun, exploration and relaxation, many children are left without the nutrition they need to learn, grow and thrive. More than 21 million children lose access to free or reduced-cost meals once the school year ends, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). To ensure that children in Wabash County have access to food year-round, the Wabash County YMCA is offering free healthy meals and snacks through its summer food program, thanks to a $15,000 grant funded by the Walmart Foundation. The Y has partnered with the Walmart Foundation to address child hunger in communities, with a focus on

increasing participation in the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which provides free meals to children aged 18 and under while school is out. According to the Food Research and Action Center, only in one in seven children who depend on free or reduced-cost meals during the school year received meals though the SFSP last summer. This summer, more than 300 Ys nationwide will offer summer food programs with a collective goal to serve 5 million healthy meals and snacks to 100,000 children. Here in Wabash County, the Y plans to serve about 9600 meals and/or snacks to help about 300 of children stay well-nourished. “For some children in our communities,

the end of the school year means end of meals,” said Bill Barrows, Senior Program Director, Wabash County YMCA. “At the Y, we are focused on making sure children stay healthy and wellnourished. Thanks to the partnership with the Walmart Foundation, our Y will be able to provide meals to children in the community who need them most.” “At Walmart, we recognize the need to support the development of our nation’s youth,” said Sylvia Mathews Burwell, president of the Walmart Foundation. “We know that providing access to healthy meals during the summer months will enable students to return to school healthy, prepared and ready to succeed. By

working closely with the Wabash County YMCA, we can help kids have better summers and, ultimately, better lives.” As part of the Wabash County YMCA’s summer backpack food program, children aged 18 and under will continue to receive two meals a day for the weekend. Not only will this help hundreds of children stay well-nourished, active and energized all summer long, but it also will alleviate the strain on family food budgets when school is out. As a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y is focused on ensuring that all children have access to food and maintain

Camp Riley empowers Wabash County youth with physical disabilities

Camp Riley empowers children with physical disabilities by providing enriching and life-changing experiences in a traditional camping environment tailored to each camper’s individual needs. For 56 years, campers have shattered perceived limitations, met new friends and achieved

greater accomplishments, allowing them to return home with a new sense of independence and confidence. Physical disabilities don’t keep these youth from scaling a 40-foot wall, swimming, horse back riding, climbing the steep “Cardiac Hill,” or taking on other

summer camp challenges. This year these youth are headed to Camp Riley where camaraderie, thrills, and a new perspective await them. Attending from Wabash County: Emelia Logan, 8, attending Riley 2: July 1–July 6. Paris Schul, 17, attending Venture:

including 53 new campers, will attend Camp Riley. Campers represent 53 Indiana counties and five states: Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Maryland. Riley Children’s Foundation relies on contributions from individuals, businesses, and organizations

throughout Indiana, in addition to fees paid by campers’ families, to make this experience possible. The fee families are asked to pay is determined on a sliding scale related to household income. In 2012, 38 percent of Camp Riley families qualified for a reduced camper fee.

Fireworks danger heightened by drought condition

The hot, dry conditions Indiana is experiencing this summer make fireworks especially hazardous. Dry grasses, forests and fields are especially combustible because of the drought conditions across Indiana, said Steve Creech, a retired state fire coordinator and lecturer for Purdue U n iv e r s i t y ’ s Department for Forestry and Natural Resources. “Normally when you shoot off a firework and it lands in someone else’s yard, that’s not too big of a risk, but that’s not the case this year,” Creech said. “With the drought we’re experiencing, there’s a heightened risk of fireworks starting a

fire off-site and spreading quickly.” Those grasses and other easily combustible items are known as “fine, flashy fuels,” and Creech said they pose a risk to start a fire that can get out of control quickly. “They will ignite very easily, and they will spread rapidly, especially if there’s a wind behind them,” Creech said. “Sometimes they’ll spread faster than a person can walk. Those fires can get to structures before anyone has time to react.” Creech suggested that anyone shooting off fireworks find an area such as a large parking lot that is paved and nowhere near combustible materials. Better than

that, even, would be to wait until after a prolonged, soaking rain can add more moisture to the ground and vegetation to reduce the risk. Other unattended or discarded sources are also at heightened risk for causing fires, Creech said. Discarded cigarettes are more likely to ignite grasses, and campfires or other open burning sources could send embers quite a distance while remaining viable sources of combustion. “We’re seeing conditions now that people haven’t seen before,” Creech said. “There’s a possibility for significant loss if people aren’t extremely careful with fireworks.”

TruthSeekers to sponsor show July 16

“Evidence of America’s Spiritual Heritage” featuring David Barton of WallBuilders will be shown in the Blocher Community Room, sponsored by the TruthSeekers at the North Manchester Public Library on July 16 from 7 – 8:30 p.m. If a picture is truly worth a thousand words, then what do the pictures, monuments, and great art of our nation’s Capitol tell us about American history and our nation’s founders? Many visitors to the Capitol would be shocked to discover

that the faith of our founding fathers has been chiseled in stone throughout that great building. What is the meaning behind some of our nation’s most baffling symbols, including the dollar bill’s “all-seeing eye” and the towering national monuments of Washington, D.C.? What happens to a society that forgets the truths and symbols of its own past? And why has this irrefutable evidence of our great spiritual heritage been covered up and forgotten? Discover little-known facts about our nation’s godly history in the American

Heritage Series. America: this is your heritage! David Barton is the founder of WallBuilders, an organization dedicated to representing America’s forgotten history and heroes with an emphasis on our moral, religious, and constitutional heritage. This series will be shown again on July 25 at 7 p.m. at Victory Christian Fellowship 112 W Main St. North Manchester if you are unable to attend.

Jane Hardisty, now Indiana’s State Conservationist for USDA-NRCS, was a key leader in establishing the trail, which was funded by a state grant. Many hours of labor were donated by Rural Youth, 4-H, civic groups and others, in order to complete the trail. The trail’s entrance is in the Frances Slocum picnic area, near the east end of the Mississinewa Dam. A large sign shaped like an Indian spearhead is located at the entrance of the trail. The “Lost Sister” was the name given Frances Slocum by the Indians after

she was captured by them at her home in Pennsylvania. The one and onehalf mile trail is easy to walk with only moderate slopes. It takes about two hours to complete if hikers pause to stop at the recommended 22 stations. Features along the trail focus on the importance of natural resources and how the continual conservation of land is necessary to sustain lifegiving resources. Brochures for the selfguided trail are available at the Mississinewa office. This year 450 students from North Miami, Peru and Maconaquah school districts, and approximately 90 adults attended the fieldtrips. Before the students embark on the trail they are provided some activities to help them be better prepared for what they may see on the trail. Local Conservation Officers are also on hand to provide students with information about how their job relates to the reservoir and their importance to helping people involved in recreation stay safe.

INDIANA CONSERVATION OFFICE Jerry Hoerdt speaks with visitors to the Lost Sister Trail. This years 450 students from area schools attended the field trips. (photo provided) At the end of the day the students receive a tree seedling given by the Miami Co. SWCD as a reminder of their day on the trail. Many 5th grade teachers say that this is their students’ favorite field-

trip of the year. This summer as you look for local recreational activities to do with your family take a hike on the Lost Sister Trail. For more info, contact the Miami Co SWCD at 765-473-6753 ext. 3.

Manchester College Director of Athletics Rick Espeset announced June 14 that Mark Adkins has been named sports information director effective July 1. “We feel very fortunate to have someone with Mark’s experience and passion for athletics joining our team,” Espeset said. “He is clearly passionate about the sports information profession.” Adkins comes to Manchester from Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont, where he oversaw a staff of four during the 2011-12 academic year. Prior to that, he had been the SID at his alma mater, Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, from August 2000 through June 2011. During his career, Adkins has played an active role in the Collegiate Sports Information Directors of America (CoSida). He has served as a district coordinator along with being a member of the D3Sida arm of the NCAA championships advisory board and the national vice-chair for the Fred S. Stabley, Sr., Writing Contest. He has served as media relations host for a variety of NCAA championships, including the 2001 wrestling, 2005 outdoor track and field, 2008 women’s golf and 2010 cross country championships, while at Wartburg. He’s also been a pollster for D3Football.com, D3Soccer.com, D3Basketball.com and D3Baseball.com with current stints for D3Soccer and D3Baseball. He is a part of the voting structure of the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association’s Division III Player of the Week. “My family and I are excited to begin this new chapter in our lives,” he said. “We look forward to being a part of the Spartan family. The Norwich family was great to be a part of and we will have fond memories of our time in Vermont.” Mark, his wife Terri, and his daughter Callie plan to reside in the North Manchester area.

THIS IS A PICTURE SENT TO ME BY ANNA LEE BIEHL showing how she and her siblings dealt with the summer heat back in the 1940’s. Anna Lee said she was in a store where two kids were getting their waters toys to have a water fight and was reminded of how they used to take a bucket and tin cans and throw water on each other. Pictured from left to right are: Anna Lee (Karns) Biehl, Lowell and Loyle Karns, and in front Karmen (Karns) Caruso. (photo provided) who would like to help at the fair on July 5 at 6:30 p.m. in the Urbana Community Building On Monday and Friday evening at the Lions Club booth, Wabash County Hospital Certified Diabetic Specialist Mary Schaeffer and Lion Marvin Mast will be doing FREE diabetic screenings. Gene Miller announced that there will be tractor pulls at the pulling pad at the Urbana Lions Park on July 14, July 21, July 28, and August 4. Mary Ann Mast reported that final grant reports have been sent to the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County and the Indiana Lions Foundation for monies received to help pay for the new scoreboard at the Urbana diamond. Community projects for the coming year were discussed. A tentative calendar for 2012/2013 was distributed. The New Year for the Lions Club starts in the fall and they are planning for many projects and need help. If anyone is interested in being a part of helping the Urbana community, please contact any of the Urbana Lions members and they will let you know how you can be involved! There are no regular Lions meetings scheduled for the months of July and Aug. The first meeting in their new year will be a dinner at Lion Gene Miller’s pond on Sept. 10. LADIES NITE OUT CLUB: Hostess

Ruth Anna Summers read an article from a devotional book entitled “Blessings from Above” for the table grace before the meal at the Ponderosa Restaurant for the Club’s June meeting. Vice President Carolyn Everest read the thought of the month “Minds are like parachutes; they function only when they are open” to open a short business meeting. Carolyn Everest led in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Ruth Summers finished devotional time with an inspirational article that stressed the thought that “there’s no such thing as can’t; just believe.” Birthdays of Mary Wendel, Jean Fleck, and anniversaries of Mary Jane Biehl, Esther Terrel, Peggy Heflin, and Erma Dawson were acknowledged. Club members responded to roll call by naming a flower that begins with the first letter of their name. Secretary Anna Lee Biehl and Treasurer Peg Heflin gave their reports. Carolyn Everest distributed the new club books for the 2012/2013 year. The Club Creed was recited to close the meeting. Esther Terrel was the Lucky Lady. The July meeting will be held at The Works in Wabash on July 18 at 1 p.m. URBANA YOKE PARISH: Those serving during the 9:30 a.m. worship service in St. Peter’s church on July 8 are: Worship Leader – Brian Chamberlain;

Liturgist – Carol Krom; Head Usher – John Eltzroth; Acolytes – Kassidy Shambaugh and Kenzie Thornsbury; Nursery Attendants – John and Judy Eltzroth; Greeters – Carol Krom and Aliya Krom; Organ – Janene Dawes; Piano – Nancy Miller. PRAYER CONCERNS: Ardis Witkoske had surgery to repair a detached retina on June 26 and is facing a hard recovery of six weeks of keeping her face down. Continue to remember Doug Rice and his family and friends, Carl Sundheimer, Carol Porcenaluk, Randell Webb, Deloris Greenlee, Mae Keller, Larry Harrington, Bob Frieden, and Herb Witkoske. SARAH CARROTHERS called her mother, Pamela Hann, on June 26 from Lake Malawi, Africa – the first time Pam had talked to her since they left several weeks ago. Sarah said the area around the lake was one of the few locations where they were able to have clear, workable phone reception. She said “the kids were playing and enjoying the sunshine.” The kids are not able to attend preschool as originally planned as “they are too big of a distraction to the other students. Apparently the students want to watch Jayden and Allis as opposed to doing their school work.” She and Austin are building a playpen for Wyatt as he is getting (continued on page 26)

Sandi Pence Sandiatthepaper @yahoo.com

APOLOGY – I would like to begin this week’s column with my apology to those of you that have submitted information for this column that I may have regretfully neglected to include. I experienced some technical difficulties and albeit not a good excuse, it is the reason some events did not appear in a timely manner. Again, I regret any inconvenience to you, the reader. IT’S HOT!!! - Yes, I am queen of the obvious. Due to the excessive heat we are experiencing, it is a good time to check your coolant levels in the evening after it’s cooled down a bit. Also, take the extra time to check the air pressure in your tires. The heat that builds up in the asphalt on the road can cause an improperly inflated tire to burst causing bigger more hazardous problems. Also, if you have an elderly or needy neighbor now may be a good time to check on them and offer an extra hand if you can. HAPPY FORTH OF JULY – Wishing all of you a happy and safe forth of July. BENEFIT FOR KRISTA - Sunday July 22 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. there will be a free will offering Pork Bar-B Q Benefit Dinner at North M a n c h e s t e r Congregational Christian Church. Proceeds will assist the Cagle Family with ongoing needs as they overcome the many challenges they face as Krista continues to recover from her ill-

ness. Come, tell your friends, and let’s help out. Call 260-9822882 for updates on Krista who is home now.Menu - Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Baked Beans, Chips, Ice Cream & Cake, Carry outs available. Thank for your donations to this family. God Bless. THE “4TH & WALNUT BAND” will lead worship at 7 p.m. on June 28 at the Celebrate Recovery Service at the North M a n c h e s t e r Congregational Christian Church 310 North Walnut Street. Come and learn how to find freedom from life’s hurts, hang-ups and habits as we thank God for Life’s Healing Choices. From 7 to 8:30 bring the kids to Celebration Station a great time of instructive Bible based activity, song and crafts to help kids express their feelings, develop selfesteem and learn about Jesus Christ the one true higher power. Call the church for details 260-982-2882. OFFICE CLOSINGS – The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County offices will be closed from noon on June 29 through July 8th. The office is closing due to some refurbishing. Hopefully this does not inconvenience anyone. NM FARMER’S MARKET TOTES & APRONS AVAILA B L E : The North M a n c h e s t e r Farmer’s Market will be offering Tote Bags and Aprons at various booth at the market on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Stop by to get yours today and support your local Farmer’s Market! This fall we will be offering a Farmer’s Market cookbook, compiling recipes that will reflect all that the market has to offer. Right now, we are looking for

recipes that have a story. Family recipes that have been handed down that include seasonal fruits or vegetables that can be locally grown or any favorite recipes that you can’t wait to use when the season is right. If you have a recipe that you would like to share please email Aly Beery at alysonbeery@gmail.com. You can find North M a n c h e s t e r Farmer’s Market located that the intersection of Main Street and Wayne Street in the parking lot of Riverbridge Electric, every Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. We hope to see you there! ON A PERSONAL NOTE – The Farmer’s Market offers a wide variety of seasonal organic items for a healthier lifestyle. Also, I became aware that one of the vendors at the Market is showing a great amount of initiative. She is expecting a child and having recently lost her job, she is utilizing her baking knowledge by baking a variety of homemade pies and chocolate desserts to replace the loss of income. I mention this vendor not at her request, but instead because I admire her strength and unwillingness to quit. So if you find yourself with a hankering for something sweet, check out her booth and help someone who is helping herself. CASH MOB N O R T H MANCHESTER SCHEDULED FOR JULY 9 - Over 70 community members will descend upon two downtown North Manchester establishments on July 9 between 3 and 7 p.m. in order to pump some much need cash into the local economy. One World Handcrafts (226 East Main Street) and Mr. Daves

Each establishment will benefit from a surge of sales during this special event, which is designed to promote downtown North Manchester as a shopping and dining destination.

“way too active to be on her back and needs to have a place that is contained to stretch his legs.” The facilities are much better than she had imagined, which is a blessing for them, “but those of us here were hoping that they wouldn’t feel quite so at home.” Sarah said she and Austin are trying to figure out how they will be able to “bring all of the children from Timothy’s Home back home with them. They have fallen in love with all of them.” (Timothy’s Home is a home for abused and abandoned children.

You can see a picture of the nine children if you Google – Circle of Hope, Timothy’s Home, Malawi, Africa) Sarah also told how amazed the children at the orphanage were when they finally were able to have water from their new well. Austin is working on what he can. The container with the tractor has not arrived yet. They are hopeful that it will soon. It is confirmed that the tractor has arrived in Mozambique and is just waiting for the last leg of the trip to be completed.

Manchester Alumni hold third annual reunion June 23

More than 300 former graduates of Central, Chester, Laketon and Manchester High School, 1962 graduates having the largest representation, gathered June 23, for the third reunion of Manchester alumni. Eyes were focused on name tags, producing big smiles and many hugs during the social time prior to the program. The program heading read “Celebrating the 3 R’s” but the celebration was perhaps more about celebrating growing up in a small place where you know your classmates and fellow students, enjoy tremendous community support and know as the years go by you will always be welcome home. Jim Smith served the Manchester Community Schools in several capacities from 1984 until 1998, including Assistant Principal, Athletic Director, High School Principal and A s s i s t a n t Superintendent. He and his wife returned to North Manchester after retirement and continue to serve the community in a variety of positions. An obvious advocate of North Manchester, Smith was a perfect choice for Master of Ceremonies. He kept the program moving with precision interspersed with his typical clever comments. Ruby Muir graduated from Laketon High School in 1936. Derek Self graduated from Manchester High School in 2012. Saturday afternoon, both Muir and Self attended the same event: this all inclusive reunion. Muir was recognized as the oldest graduate in attendance. One of the youngest in attendance, Derek Self, is a name to remember and follow, judging from his vocal contributions to the program. Someone was overheard commenting “This young man sings the National Anthem just the way it should be sung.” Equally moving was his rendition of “You Raise Me Up” as the balloons were released to celebrate the lives of those who died this past year. Aaron Johnson, Sarrah Dierks, Derek Self and Emily Grant are members of the di Cantanti Choral Groups of Manchester High School under the direction of Marilyn

Mason. These talented students provided musical selections from a diverse genre with aplomb beyond their years for a delighted audience who responded with a standing ovation. New this year to the program was the presentation of Distinguished Alumni Awards. Nominated by friends and family, five former graduates were honored for extraordinary achievement.

Presented by Principal Nancy Alspaugh the awards were given to Janene Dawes, John Warren, Nancy Reed, Doug Frantz and Matt White. The names responsible for this event are familiar to those who regularly attend this annual event. The Alumni Committee consisting of Mary Elizabeth Ayres, Nancy Knapp, Mary Lou Tyner, Jackie Ihnen, Donna

Harman, Lois Scott, Jane Ann Airgood, Janene Dawes and Leo Judy work tirelessly to organize the festivities. Assisting the committee with their continued support and effort were Nancy Alspaugh, Randy Self and Jim Myer. Described in the program as “the best cook and most accommodating lady you will ever meet” Becky Landes, Head Cook at Manchester

The Seventh Annual Chair Affair to be held Aug. 18 Changes are coming to the 7th annual Chair Affair. For the first time there will be two categories for entries, business and individual. First, and second place prizes will be award-

ed in each category. Instead of plaques, first place in each category will receive a $50 gift certificate from Main View Restaurant, North Manchester and second place in each cat-

egory will receive a $25 gift card from Wabash Pizza Hut/Wing Street. There will still be a queen’s choice award. This will be chosen by the reigning festival queen.

Any kind of chair can be decorated and entered. Voting will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the Herb Festival on Aug. 18. Another new twist is that there will be a “mys-

tery chair.” This chair will remain a mystery until time for the chair auction. Tony Stout Auctioneering will once again be our auctioneer. Winners will be announced at 2:30 p.m. and the auction will begin as soon as the awards are presented. If someone would like to enter a chair but they are having trouble finding one, they can call Mary Ann Mast at 800-886-3018.

The charities that have been chosen to receive money raised from the auction are Paradise Spring Park, and Star Lodge. Paradise Spring Park is in need of some repairs and we would like to contribute to that, the Herb since Festival is held there every year. Star Lodge is a building that has been moved to Bass & Bucks from Camp Kokawani. Plans are to open it for meetings

and educational programs. They are in need of donations to help furnish the lodge. The Chair Affair committee feels that both of these are worthy recipients and are important to the community. Anyone interested in entering a chair can call Chris Benson at 569-9391 for an entry form. There is no entry fee, but preregistration is appreciated.

DERRICK WILSON’S BARN was blown down in Friday’s storm before construction could finish. Wilson’s barn will be torn down this week, with construction starting again next week. It will take approximately three or four weeks of rebuilding to be back to where the building was before the powerful storm hit. (photo by Mike Rees)
