Amanda Underwood crowned 2014 Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com A venue fit for royalty, the Ford Theatre at the Honeywell Center housed the Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen Pageant again this year. Community members gathered on June 29 to watch the 2014 Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen, Amanda Underwood, North Manchester, be crowned. The evening was hosted by Roderick Schram, with performances by the pageant contestants and Brooke Pratt, who performed her original song “Indiana Sky,” and Katie Jones and Kaitlan Tracy, who tap danced to “You Make Me Feel So Young.” Pratt, Jones and Tracy took part in one of the newest programs for the fair, the Performing Arts program. Wabash County Extension Director Teresa Witkoske and Doug Mays discussed changes coming to the 4-H Fair, which include the Pledge of Allegiance and the 4-H Pledge being said before each livestock show and the new online enrollment process, which will be open from November to January. Judging for the pageant took place on Sunday, June 22. The judging was based on poise, personality and the ability to converse. The judging was divided into three categories, which included the interview portion, professional wear and eveningwear. After meeting all 22 contestants, 2013 Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen Kylie Echard gave her farewell speech and her advice to the new queen and the court. “Even though it’s not going to go how you planned, just have fun and go with the flow, because it’s going to go by fast,”

said Echard. 2013 Miss Congeniality Hannah Cole was on hand to announce the 2014 Miss Congeniality winner Alyssa Lambert. Lambert received the Maxine Howard Memorial Scholarship, along with a sash, plaque, engraved pen, embroidered tote bag, five complementary lunches, gifts from local businesses and a parking pass for the 4-H fair. Third runner up and next member to be named to the court was Arie Kennedy, with Katlyn Hippensteel as second runner up, and Abby Lybarger as first runner up. The room was silent in anticipation for the announcement of which of the remaining 18 contestants would be crowned queen. When Amanda Underwood’s name was announced, she was visibly surprised. After being crowned by Echard, and taking her first walk at the 2014 Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen, Underwood was embraced by her

court and then her fellow contestants. “I am shocked,” Underwood told The Paper. “I felt good about the interview but there’s so many awesome girls, who all did amazing and I don’t know, I thought I knew who was going to win and so it was weird. When they called my name, I was about to start clapping and then I was like “Oh, that’s me. Oh my gosh, what do I even do?,” continued Underwood. Shaking during the interview, Underwood recounted her favorite part of the fair before the queen contest. “My favorite part was always the atmosphere. Everybody was there for the same reason. They all love Ag or other kinds of projects. You make so many new friends and you get to spend the whole week with them, and that’s really fun.” 2014 marks Underwood’s 10th year in 4H and her third year as a part of the queen pageant. “When I was younger, (continued on page 5)

always seeing the queens pass out the ribbons and in the crown, it seemed so important. I thought it was important to be

a role model for all the younger girls. My sister did the contest when she was in high school, and I always looked up to her.”

T h o u g h Underwood is excited and grateful to be crowned queen, she found it incredibly u n e x p e c t e d .

“Honestly, I’m really glad I won, but I never imagined this. Every year, I’ve just been so excited about the dance practices

and performing. That’s the best part.” Underwood is also excited because the first runner up is her best friend, Abby Lybarger. “It’s going to be awesome to do this with her. I’m so excited about spending time with the other girls.” “I’m excited to be by her side and go through everything with her and keep her calm through everything,” said Lybarger. Underwood is familiar with the other girls, through 4H and school but is looking forward to the relationships she will be able to build with them during fair week. “I’ve known Alyssa since my first year and Katlyn goes to my school. We’ve been doing FFA and 4-H together for years. She’s so nice. I don’t know Arie as well, but I’m looking forward to getting to know her. I’m so proud of all the

girls,” added Underwood. To prepare for fair week, Underwood has a couple things she needs to take care of including freshman orientation at Ball State University and getting work off and also seeking help

from Echard. “I’m going to talk to Kylie because I have no idea what I’m in for. I didn’t know what I was doing to do if I won. I need to get off work. I didn’t even think of that. I’m just going to prepare,” said Underwood.

County fair offers new events in 2014

~ QUALITY FABRICS ~ Specializing in cottons for quilting 1604 S. Wabash St. • Wabash 260-563-3505 www.colorsgonewild.com

By Aaron Johnson The Wabash County 4-H Fair is an event that many people in the county look forward to every year, and this year there are some special events added to the schedule. Each of the main events listed here begin at 7 p.m. On Monday, July 7, the fair will end its opening night with a mud bogging event. mud bogging is a race

Comehe t o J in n u F !

through a mud pit whose victor is determined by the furthest distance travelled through the pit. Should more than one competitor cross the pit, the winner is determined by the fastest time to cross the finish line. For the 4-H fair, there will be multiple classes in which riders may compete and these classes are separated by weight of the vehicles. The classes will be divided into heats and the winner of each heat will move into the final round of that class. The victor of the final round will be crowned as winner of the class. Tuesday, July 8, will feature a Tractor Pull, in which competitors will pull sledges across the arena. These tractor pull events will also be divided into classes and each tractor will pull the sledge as far as it can. The driver that pulls the sledge the furthest wins that class. On Wednesday, July 9, another new event will come to Wabash: the autocross. This autocross will include all vehicles such as pickup trucks, vans, and derby cars. There is a mini-size class and a full-size class for the vehicles involved in this event. The Fair Association

Council and the 4-H Fair Board will prepare an obstacle course with rolling hills through which the competitors will drive. There is a heat lap for each of the classes, and the top three from each heat lap go to the final for a 20-lap race. Wild Hog Mud Wrestling will occur on Thursday, July 10, which is another new addition to the fair this year. Participants can sign up for one of 12 classes that are divided by age and gender. They are ages 8-11, 12-15, 16-18, and 19 and older. In each age class there are divisions for team members to be all male, all female, or mixed. The entry cost is $40 per team and registration is open until Wednesday, July 9. Admission to the event is $5, and kids five years and younger get in free. Competitors will have to attempt to catch and place the hog on a barrel with bare hands in one minute or less. The winning team will be determined by the time that they took to place hog onto the barrel. Mary Hollingshead, the organizer of the new events, took pride in the Hog Wrestling event as she thought it would be a great addition to the fair. “A lot of the surrounding counties have had success with

it and it seems to be a popular thing,” Hollingshead said. “So we wanted to try something different and we’ve had several teams already enter. I believe for the first year it will do alright.” The arena will be empty on Friday, July 11, but the rest of the fair will be open for pedestrians to enjoy. There is a free stage open to bands that want to come in to play at the fair in the evening. On Saturday, July 12, the final day of the fair, there will be a Demolition Derby. This event is also split up into several different classes depending on the type of vehicle. Mini, full-size, truck, and powder-puff are the divisions for this event. The Derby will entail drivers ramming the vehicles into each other and the winner will be the driver of the last vehicle that is still operational. After the Demolition Derby, the rides at the fair will still be open to anyone who wants to ride. The rides will stay open until 12:30 a.m. and anyone that bought a wristband will be able to continue riding after the derby ends. Wristbands will be sold for $12 on Saturday and are good for all days and all rides. A special event

series for the kids of Wabash County is being held during the week of the fair. It is the Power Wheels competitions. The first of these events will be a Power Wheels Bogging on Monday before the adult mud bogging. The kids will ride their Power Wheels through the mud pit and the one that gets the furthest wins. The second of the series is the Power Wheels Race. This will occur Wednesday before the autocross. The kids will ride in their Power Wheels and compete in a race through an obstacle course similar to the autocross. The course will be abbreviated and modified to accommodate the smaller vehicles. The final event of the Power Wheels is the Mini-Demolition Derby. This is set to start on Saturday before the adult Demolition Derby. The kids will ride in their Power Wheels and ram into each other just like the fullsized Derby. Hollingshead, who spent an extensive amount of time working to prepare the fair for pedestrians to enjoy, thought that this tradition was something that everyone should enjoy. “I think everyone young and old look forward to their county fair,” Hollingshead said. “You look forward to the amusement rides, the entertainment, the animals, seeing your neighbors at the fair, and of course the food. It’s just a memory that people like to have in the summer.” Hollingshead worked alongside the Fair Association Council and the 4-H Fair Board to prepare for this week of entertainment and she gives a lot of credit to them. “They have people that come in here months and months before the fair even kicks in,” Hollingshead said. “They work very hard to get the fair to where it is at so people can enjoy it throughout the first week of July. It means a lot to them since they volunteer their time to go out there and work for four or five months beforehand just to get this ready for everybody.”

Between the banks: Part 2 drifted off into dream land, I laid awake as heavy rain blew against both sides of the tent, and heard water splashing on both sides. Needless to say, for fear we would be drowning within the confines of our twoperson tent, I stayed awake and alert in case I needed to rescue us both at a moments notice. As the sun came up the rain died down, Eric awoke well rested and rejuvenated. I remained still, slightly

LOOKING BACK AT ERIC as we paddled south of Montezuma on June 11. Both Eric and I agree he had the better view. (photo by Mary FusonStearley) by Mary FusonStearley and Eric Stearley Editor’s Note: This is the second part of the story of our journey down the Wabash River. The first part was published in the June 25 edition. We thought it was only fair that our readers heard both sides of the story, so this time, you’ll hear from the perspective of the canoe’s bow, where my wife, Mary, sat for nine days. After waking up on our honeymoon, beachfront property Saturday morning, I prepared a satisfying breakfast of peanut butter, bananas, granola, and dried fruit wrapped cozily into a flour tortilla. This gave us the necessary protein to paddle on to our next adventure: to Peru and beyond. As we were happily enjoying the scenery and our blue heron tour guides we noticed another character took interest in our journey. He was a furry creature who would cautiously peer at us from behind beached driftwood and pop in and out of holes in the side of the bank. He was a muskrat, one of the many animals trapped throughout the

time of the fur trade. We learned that this creature, no longer than two feet, was once responsible for burrowing into the walls of the canal, causing a great deal of damage and eventually leading to levy washout. The repairs would play a part in bankrupting the canal company. Upon entering Peru signs of human life started to emerge from the wilderness. We got many friendly waves from passers by in fishing boats and people lounging in the beautiful Saturday sun. One of our great interactions came from a rambunctious 30th birthday party at Bandon’s House. We could smell the beautiful food on the grill as we approached the impressive river dock known as “The Eagle’s Nest.” This was no ordinary dock, it majestically rose from the mighty Wabash a good 15ft above the water, and was only accessible through a sturdy bait house decked out with fishing gear, a mini fridge for bait, and a flat screen TV that played the Frisbee golf championships DVD on repeat. They all raised their glasses to us kindly waving us in for a

drink that soon turned into a dinner party with bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers, crawdads, sweet corn, and pork chops on the grill. The troop of Peruvians had lived on the Wabash most of their lives and had an impressive homestead to show for it. The friends exchanged stories from their youth and were fantastic hosts to us for the afternoon. They even sent us off with a few drinks and some poppers in a Tupperware container! Later that evening, armed with the knowledge that we would be getting rain later, we came to an island that was later dubbed “Rainstorm Island.” Campers who found the island before us left dozens of cans and bottles, so we jumped into River Defender mode and cleaned house. We then buckled down the hatches to prepare for heavy rain we were due to be receiving. Finishing another lovely meal complete with leftover poppers cooked in a pie iron over the fire, we turned into the tent just as the rain started to come down. Luckily, we were prepared; however as my husband blissfully

twitching in a puddle. He kindly prepared a breakfast of oatmeal with nuts, dried fruit,

and some delicious chocolate protein powder, and of course, some Emergen-C to

accompany the meal. After packing, we set off into day 3 of the

Between the banks: Part 2...continued from page 7 adventure. We arrived in Logansport just in time for a nice lunch on a slab of limestone along their city river walk. The pace of the river greatly picked up and the water become much more shallow. The limestone from the bottom of the river started to expose itself, creating some variety in the river scenery. We ran into town to get some fresh produce and found a wonderful Mexican grocery store, “Maria Lopez Grocery”

where we got freshly made chorizo and other items to complete our meal. After finishing lunch, we treated ourselves to some wine tasting at “The People’s Winery” in downtown Logansport. Paddling through Cass County we pulled over for a restroom break at what we thought was a public park of sorts due to the 8-canoe rack trailer parked on the manicured lawn amongst picnic tables and fire

pits behind a quartermile stretch of pristine beach. An intimidating man in a side-by-side ATV decked out with a gun rack holding a firearm quickly greeted us as we smiled and waved. He hurriedly explained that it was not a summer camp or public property and the phrase “no offense, but get off my land” was among his words of welcome. We quickly hopped back into our canoe and paddled to the

other side of the river for our initially intended brake when a voice came out from behind a tree. It was a man with a cooler in one hand who introduced himself as Mitchell, proclaiming that he wasn’t the cops. We all sat down and exchanged stories. He profusely apologized for the behavior of the man on the other side of the river, because he grew up on the river, and “that’s not what river people are all about.” Mitchell explained that he had come floating down the river on a tractor tire inner tube from Logansport, which eventually popped, leaving him stranded miles down the river. After getting caught in the overnight rainstorm and walking all day, he had only one warm beer left, which he kindly offered to split three ways with us (to which we told him we greatly appreciated the offer, but he could keep it for himself). He was hilarious in his story telling and was very knowledgeable about the stretch of the river we were travelling through. Just as our friends before him, we bid Mitchell farewell and hopped back into our boat. He continued his hike back to Logansport. That night, we arrived at one of my favorite campsites. It was in Carroll County, just over the Cass County line. It was on the right hand side of

the river in an old dried out creek bed. A small peninsula extended off the bank creating what I called our two-canoe garage. The campsite further welcomed us in by sending a slimy silver fish known as an Asian Carp to jump right into Eric’s lap, greeting him with a boisterous kiss. I loved this temporary home for many reasons. Aside from the two-canoe garage, it had a great deal of character. A beautiful old forest of maple and sycamore trees were widely spaced, rising slightly above the old creek bed, creating the perfect space for a hammock overlooking our fire pit in the sandy bed. There were beautiful shells scattered around the area, and as the sun set, the most spectacular display of lights danced through the forest on the bellies of lightening bugs. It was a rejuvenating night to end an exquisite day. As we began to hit our stride on the water Monday morning, we were greeted by our first majestic bald eagle. It was amazing to see him in person as he glided through the air, surveying his territory. This would be the first of our bald eagle sightings that were too numerous to count. We also encountered a large snapping turtle that morning, which we nearly ran into as we coasted along the side of the bank, but we kept our fingers out

of reach. We arrived at the historical Carrollton Bridge by lunchtime, where there was a nice picnic spot commemorating an old canal lock. By dusk, we arrived at Wolfe’s Leisure Time Campground in Americus. The plumbing and showers were much-welcomed amenities at this beautiful campground. There, we met new friends, one of which was a popcorn scientist who recently moved to Indiana from North Carolina. He was camping in the area until his wife and children could reunite with him once the kids finished school for the summer. We were lucky to celebrate his birthday and his first day of work in Indiana. The others were from Kokomo, and turned out to be friends of friends. We all took turns exchanging stories around the campfire late that night. After showering the following morning, we enjoyed a plate of fried catfish at the Americus Café before proceeding on our journey. The sky grew dark as we came upon the urban banks of Lafayette. That was the fateful point at which our lucky streak with campsites started to wane. We made it to the city’s last bridge, which was just beyond the wastewater treatment plant. The rain grew in intensity and we absolutely had to pull off. Eric quickly

rigged the hammock with a tarp over the top and I insisted we flip the canoe and cover our belongings. If you’ve ever sat for long in a hammock with another person, you understand the burrito analogies. In this case, it was a wet burrito. Unsatisfied with the prospect of spending our night this way, Eric was able to contact some friends in Lafayette who kindly offered their living room to us for the night. After giving our friend Miles the coordinates of our rendezvous point, we each packed around 100lbs of our most important gear on our backs and trekked into the urban wilderness. We headed for the overpass just upstream with our headlamps ablaze as waterfalls of highway runoff water spewed from the pipes overhead. The ground below the bridge became more and more sketchy with each step until I realized that we were encroaching upon a swamp. Eric marched on towards the tall grasses, insisting that “it will be fine.” With each step, we sank deeper and deeper into mud and water. Having “Lord of the Rings” bog scene flashbacks and terrified I’d bump into a dead body, I insisted that there must be a better way to this fabled footpath ahead. Finally, we were both in a full-blown swamp, up to our hindquarters in water and who knows what else. Eventually, the ground started to rise, and after 15 minutes of swamp excursion and a mile hike on the footpath, we made it to Miles’ car. Miles and his wife Jessica were fantastic last-minute hosts. They didn’t complain about our smell, which was consistent with being downriver of a water treatment plant. They even prepared a curried chickpea scramble for us in the morning with coffee. As expected, we did find a less treacherous route back to the abandoned camp the next morning and were happy to find everything as we had left it. We continued on with thunderheads tailing us all the way to the beautiful town of Attica where we had our lunch. Attica is a prime example of an old canal town, complete with structures dating back to the early 1800s. The river had risen significantly due to the heavy rains up stream, which made it more dif-

Eventually, we came upon a nature preserve to camp for the night in Warren County that had reasonably high ground. A group of deer found our camp particularly interesting that night and woke us up more than once. As Eric fixed a glorious breakfast of fried potatoes with sausage and onions the next morning, a beautiful spotted coyote stopped by the camp the check us out. By the time we hit Covington, we met a wonderful fisherman named Mike Latoz. He kindly offered us his fishing camp to rest and took us into town for supplies. We learned that he retired

from the Danville Commercial-News after working as a pressroom manager for over 30 years. Now, he spends his time on the river and holds the record for the largest shovelnose sturgeon caught in Indiana at 14 pounds 8 ounces. That day, he brought in a sturgeon and a perch, along with his main prize, a tunnel catfish. He told us how he had made it a personal mission to research and learn as much history about the Wabash as possible. After leaving Mike, we entered Vermillion County where the river had risen to 16 feet, and we were left with even few places to camp. We found the Fisherman’s

Camp mentioned in Jerry Hay’s guide book to be almost completely under water and vacant of the campers that usually occupy the plots. We flagged down a fisherman who went by the name DRWMD, which stood for David Ray Williams, Medical Doctor (“M.D.” was the title he gave himself, because he described himself as being very knowledgeable of all things female). David offered us his mostly flooded spot to camp on for the night, and as we started to set up, heard the all too familiar sound of thunder in the distance. Eric insisted that the forecast said we’d be ok, but I knew we were cruising for some seri-

ous weather. I immediately rigged the tent and weatherproofed our camp as Eric insisted that nothing was going to happen. Everything was quiet as it grew darker, the green of the foliage almost glowed in anticipation for the storm. As Eric was hammering the last stake of the rain fly, the storm provided a full show of the loudest booming of thunder either one of us had ever heard, along with a torrential downpour and flashing lightening. Needless to say, Eric will no longer question my uncanny ability to gather information from my environment. Safe and sound in our tent, we woke up happy to see our weatherproofing abilities had improved over the week. After a storm like that, one typically feels like a warrior and has a renewed sense of pride in their ability to survive. Entering into our last full day on the river, we set out in route to Vigo County. Just as night fell, we landed at Tecumseh, which was once known as Durkee’s Ferry and served as a main crossing point on the Wabash. We had heard wonderful things about the famous Tecumseh Tavern from friends in Terre Haute who ventured to the other side of the Mighty Wabash River. Being a Vigo County native, I knew it would be hospitable and the perfect way to end our trip. Little did we know how brilliantly welcoming the people of Tecumseh would be! When we got into the tavern after a nice walk from our camp and the public boat ramp, we were greeted by friendly faces and banter. Everyone in the neighborhood seemed to know each other and were happily curious to find out who we were. We explained the events that brought us to town, which resulted in celebrity treatment and our drinks being covered by patrons for the remainder of the evening. When we tried to pay for our catfish dinner, the gregarious bartender, Olivia, informed us that the owner had picked up the tab. We felt like we had gotten home after our long journey.

Between the banks: Part 2...continued from page 10 series of bridges we finally came upon a voice calling towards us from the left bank. It was my cousin, Neil Toth. He had come with his truck to fish us out of the river. As we approached the boat ramp, we spotted Eric’s

father and grandfather waiting for us. As we pulled the boat ashore, our trip came to an end. It was surreal, really. We had just paddled 187 miles in nine days down the most undeveloped river east of the

Mississippi, and we never left Indiana. We had met so many wonderful people with so many stories about themselves and the river. We celebrated their lives along side of them and got to take a peek into river culture. In my previous travels through India and Southeast Asia, I saw countrywide festivals celebrating and honoring their rivers and the abundance they bring. In those cultures, the rivers represent the flow and journey of one’s life and are said to be guarded by elemental spirits. We may not have national holidays celebrating our beloved rivers in this country, but a reverence and respect for the Wabash River pervades the people who inhabit

its banks. We came to the conclusion that in a river culture, people must trust and “go with the flow,” because they may wake up to no front yard or find that they must uproot their fishing camps at a moments notice to avoid a flood. As human beings, we are often focused on controlling our surroundings, but when one lives amongst the river, they must relinquish some of their human inclination to control. As with all of our travels, we found the people we encountered to be just as interesting as the natural beauty by which we were surrounded. It was a reminder to never pass up the opportunity for conversation with a

stranger. The kindness and hospitality we encountered during

our trip will never be forgotten, and our stories from this experi-

ence will live on through river adventures to come.

Mississinewa algae alert issued; swimming and boating still allowed by Sandy Johnson The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently issued a Blue-Green Algae Advisory for Mississinewa Lake after samplings showed a level of blue-green algae high enough to warrant an alert. With the advisory, swimming and boating is still permitted. Larry Brown, Mississinewa DNR Manager, advises visitors, “Do not drink the water, and shower after swimming.” When an advisory is issued, pet owners should refrain from allowing their pets into the water where algae are present. Pets are more vulnerable to getting sick after swimming in lake waters because they tend to lick their fur clean, allowing the bacteria to enter their bodies. Brown works together with Cyndi Wagner from the Indiana Department

of Environmental Management (IDEM), who supervises the testing for Mississinewa Lake and other Indiana lakes. Brown told The Paper, “We have done a good job with communication and letting people know about the advisory. We have signs on beaches, and at boat ramps.” Brown confirmed samplings would continue weekly until the blue-green algae levels drop. Mississinewa was scheduled for further testing on June 30. Results from the samplings should be documented by the next day. C u r r e n t l y, Mississinewa is the only lake with an alert in the state. The IDEM and DNR continue to work together to keep everyone informed. If high levels of blue-green algae are found during IDEM testing on

any Indiana lake, a notice is posted at algae.IN.gov and alert notices are placed on those beaches until cell counts drop to a safe level. State parks and reservoir websites also include ‘property advisories’ to keep the public informed before heading out onto the waters. Algae have been in the water for a very long time, but samplings from lakes, beaches, and reservoirs have only been tested for the last few years. As the weather warms up and people take to the beaches and lakes, the samplings begin, too. These tests are not to scare the public but to inform them. Blue-green algae; also know as cyanobacteria are particularly a concern because it is often linked to adverse health issues. Fueled by heat, sunlight and fertilizer runoff from

lawns and farms, algal growth is a naturally occurring process. For an advisory to be issued samplings would show a low cell count of blue-green algae present in the water. Once levels test positive for bluegreen algae and an advisory is issued, there is nothing that can be done to lower the levels. Therefore, weekly samplings are necessary to monitor the cell counts. Eventually the algae dissipate and float to the bottom. If blue-green algae levels increase, the state can close beaches or issue a caution. This would mean children and people with compromised auto immune systems would have to refrain from swimming in the lake. Two years ago, Salamonie reservoir had high levels of blue-green algae in centralized locations. During that time, it

was believed but not confirmed that two dogs died after spending time swimming and romping in the water with bluegreen algae the cause. This year, however, Salamonie has not tested positive for blue-green algae. A blue-green algae advisory does not mean the public must avoid that lake or beach all together. Public awareness is key. Taking necessary precautions such as avoiding direct contact with blue-green algae is important as well. The DNR and IDEM schedule samplings as a proactive measure to keep the public informed and safe. Prior to heading out to the beach this summer, the public can remain informed by checking with lakes and beaches before visiting them and by going online to state government sites to note where alerts are posted.

Wabash Art Guild meet at Fort Wayne Museum of Art It was a hazy morning with a sprinkling of rain, but they didn’t allow that to dampen their spirits when members of the Wabash Art Guild met on June 12 at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Allowed to browse at their leisure, they enjoyed

absorbing the artistic nuances of the current exhibits: America’s SpiritEvolution of a National Style: a dazzling collection of cutglass with the tools of their creation, sculpted busts, furniture, paintings, etc, depicting American Art

1765-1900, as a reflection of social and political movements of the time. Rims & Fins-Golden Age of American Bicycles: Vast collection of many styles of bicycles from the 1949 Shelby Donald Duck bicycle, and the Gene Autry Bicycle with

w/fringed leather and conchos, to the 1970’s Schwinn 3-speed, with a banana-seat, and windshield fairing! Biological Canvas: Representations from three artists which display a trend in contemporary art where there is a reference to biology, ie: animals, natural processes, human systems, and other elements of the natural world; utilizing graphic manipulation of organic objects in the context of contemporary culture. Roseville Pottery: A large room full of colorful, uniquely designed pottery-a must see for enthusiasts! The company was founded in 1890 by JF Frederick Weaver and three potters in Roseville, Ohio; it moved to Zanesville, Ohio in 1898 for rich clay deposits in soil. It closed in 1954, and sold to New England Ceramics of Connecticut. Also of interest was the museum’s gift shop which offers a

variety of artistic creations from different media, ie: glass, silk, woodcraft, jewelry, pottery, paper-art, and the latest artistic toys on the market, ie: “Buddha Board” (Like an “Etch-aSketch” for watercolorists!) After lunch nearby, at Don Hall’s Gas House, the group moved on to tour Castle Gallery, on West Wayne Street. An “incredible structure” built in 1905, filled with beautiful home design, it fea-

tures one-of-a-kind art for sale from local and international artisans. A very welcoming staff guided the tour and made those in attendance feel at home. At Jefferson Pointe, they visited the Artworks Galleria, especially to view the art of fellow art guild member Penny French-Deal, who has some beautiful scenic oils on display. A few members stopped nearby at Michaels Crafts Store to build up their art

supplies in preparation for the 2014 Wabash Art Guild Members’ Art Show at the Honeywell Center, coming soon at the end of July. The group’s next meeting is a paint-out (or inside) at Charley Creek, on Thursday, July 10. The Wabash Art Guild meets monthly with a variety of programming. New members with a love of art are welcome. For more info call 260-563-7690.

New statewide organization aims to recognize military veterans with Hoosier ties Nominations for inaugural induction are being accepted through Sept. 1, The Indiana Military Veterans Hall of Fame (IMVHOF) is calling for nominations for its first group of honorees. The not-forprofit organization received its 501(c)3 designation this year. Its board of directors is compiled of representatives from the business, govern-

ment and retired military sectors. The Chairman of the board, Russell H. Dowden, Jr., COL, USA (Retired) was inducted into the Arkansas Military Veterans Hall of Fame in 2011 as that is his home state. Now a Hoosier, Mr. Dowden formed the idea of creating a similar organization here. The IMVHOF stated objective is “To publically emphasize the honor brought to our state and nation by the sacrifice of Indiana military veterans and their families.” The IMVHOF will be ‘virtual’ for now via its website, but plans are to build a physical monument in the future. Up to fifteen veterans will be honored for military service achievements and/or community contributions. To be eligible, a nominee must meet any one of these criteria:

-Been born in Indiana -Entered military service in Indiana -Lived in Indiana for a minimum of eight years All branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, all ages, living or deceased, and males and females will be considered equally. The complete nomination packet and criteria can be found at i m v h o f . c o m . Nominations will be accepted through end of day Sept. 1, 2014. The first induction ceremony will take place on November 7, 2014 at the Garrison at Ft. Benjamin Harrison in Lawrence. Event details will be available on the website as it nears. Tax deductible donations can be made via check or money orders made out to IMVHOF and sent to: IMVHOF P.O. Box 269098 Indianapolis, IN 46226

2014 Chair Affair and Auction to be held Aug. 16

Plans are taking shape for the 2014 Chair Affair and Auction. The Chair Affair will be held on Aug. 16 during the 17th Annual Herb Fest. The Chair Affair is held annually to benefit local charities and organizations. The Chair Affair is being sponsored by Galley 64, owned by Mary Hettmansperger. Businesses, organizations and individuals are encouraged to enter a decorated

chair. Any kind of chair can be used and your imagination is your only limit when it comes to decorating the chair. All chairs need to be delivered to Paradise Spring Park between 8-9 a.m. on Aug. 16. The public can vote on their favorite chair in the business and individual categories from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Awards will be given at 2:30 p.m. and the chair auction will follow. The 2014 auc-

tion recipients will be CASA and Frosty and Friends Bird Rescue. A new twist this year will be a chair decorated and donated by Dorothy Ilene, a unique, one of a kind store in downtown Wabash, for a silent auction. Visitors to the Herb Fest can big on this chair all day with the winning bid announced at 2:30 p.m., when the regular auction begins. They are also hoping to have several

stores donate a chair loaded down with merchandise from their business. If any business is interested in participating in this opportunity, please call Diane Guenin at 571-7295. There are already entries from the Wabash City Police Department, Wabash County Republican Women, Premier Home Health Care, Happy Days Preschool, Life Center, ARC, Crows Nest, Guenin Law

Office, Bonnie Fleming and Monica Sparling. There is also going to be a special chair in memory of Gene Cooper. There are a limited number of free chairs available if you would like to be a part of this fun event and do not have a chair. Contact Diane Guenin. As he has every year, Tony Stout will be donating his time to be the auctioneer and Wabash True Value will be provid-

ing an awning for the chairs. In 2013, the Chair Affair raised $960 and they would love to top that this year. So get busy, fill out the form, found on the bottom of this page, mail it in and

join the fun at the Wabash Herb Fest on Aug. 16. If you have any question or want more information, call Chris Benson at 569-9391 or Sara Correll at 571-9949.

THE LAFONTAINE LIONS CLUB met and awarded $200 scholarships to high school seniors. The scholarship recognizes students from Liberty Township that meet the criteria setup by the Lions Club. “The scholarships are designed to reward students from the community and that are likely to stay in the community,” said Lion club President Tom Polk. Lion President Tom continued, “The Lions club is very concerned about the ‘brain drain’ that occurs in our local community. We try to reward students that hopefully are staying or will likely return to our community.” This year winners were: Amy Bowman, Logan Hensley, Ally Nose, Hunter Law and Meghan Brane. The Lions Club wishes these and all of the graduating seniors the best of luck in all of the future endeavors. Pictured, from left: Logan Hensley, Amy Bowman, Hunter Law and Lion President Tom Polk.

Fasting is not necessary. Diabetes can be a “silent killer.” High blood sugar levels can cause several symptoms including: blurry vision, excess thirst, fatigue, hunger, frequent urination, and weight loss. Because type 2diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar have no symptoms. People with uncontrolled diabetes are at risk of losing sight due to diabetic retinopathy, which is the leading case of vision loss in adults between the ages of 20 and 65. Lions Clubs locally and around the world are involved with Diabetes Awareness and Action Programs that

Wabash County REMC holds 78th annual meeting, announces permanent partnership with United REMC Nearly 700 people attended the 78th Annual Meeting, held June 23, in the Honeywell Ford Theater. In his speech to the members, President Byerly focused on the current good health of the cooperative, the improvements the cooperative has seen in the last year, and what the board has been doing to facilitate the partnership with United REMC. Byerly said, “Tonight is a historic meeting for us all. With your participation, we will decide to move forward and become a newly formed cooperative in name with the same expected great service, the same facility locations, and most importantly, the same familiar employees within this cooperative that we all enjoy working with.” Rob Pearson, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), focused on the

partnership with United REMC. Pearson stated, “As rates continue to rise and new technology advancements are brought into our industry, we need to have the personnel and finances to handle the changes with minimal impact on our members. In order to do that, coops are going to need to work together just like Wabash County REMC and United REMC have been doing.” During the business meeting, the membership elected two directors to serve threeyear terms on the Board of Directors. Douglas Wilcox was elected to represent district one, and Steven Byerly was elected in district six. The membership also voted positively for the permanent partnership with United REMC.

Airman’s remains headed home 62 years after plane crash...continued from front page

and California. Now, he was bound for the bitter Alaskan winter. The aircraft, nicknamed “Old Shaky,” was the largest cargo aircraft in use and the only one that could carry a tank. This particular plane was bound for Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage, where Martin was to work in the control tower. The 52 passengers never made it. As the plane neared Anchorage, it encountered weather, and heavy clouds reduced visibility. When the aircraft failed to arrive as scheduled, it was clear that something went very wrong. Using only an altimeter, stopwatch, and radio beacon to navigate, the plane crashed into a 9,500foot mountain face near Mount Gannett, just 50 miles east of Anchorage. All 52 on board perished. The site of the crash was quickly discovered by University of Alaska Presdient Terris Hoover and Air Force Lieutenant Thomas Sullivan, who flew to the site in a Piper Super Cub.

Over the course of the next year, the Air Force launched two recovery attempts, both of which were unsuccessful. The same blizzard conditions that shut out the recovery crew buried the crash remnants, which slid down the mountain onto a glacier. By late autumn of 1953, there was no sign of the crash and recovery efforts ended. Now living in Somerset, Howard’s parents, Ruth and Lester, were devastated by the news of the accident. For many years, they hoped that the wreckage would

be rediscovered and their son brought home to Indiana. It didn’t happen in their lifetime. Lester passed away in 1972, with Ruth following him in 1999. His siblings, now well into adulthood, waited still for their long lost brother. In June 2012, an Army National Guard B l a c k h a w k Helicopter crew spotted something on Colony Glacier during a training exercise. Further investigation determined that the wreckage was from the 1952 Globemaster crash. Now near Inner Lake

George, the glacier had moved slowly for six decades, carrying the wreckage nearly 12 miles from the crash site, eventually exposing the wreckage at it approached the edge of the lake. The Joint POW/MIA A c c o u n t i n g Command (JPAC) launched a recovery effort, which they repeated in the summer of 2013. Since the discovery of the crash site, the remains of 17 individuals have been recovered. On April 18, Howard Martin’s remains were identified on what would have been his 83rd birthday. Forensic scientists matched DNA from hair found at the scene to that of a mouth swab from Howard’s brother, Paul. Children receive an exact copy of their mother’s mitochondrial DNA, which in turn makes it identical to their siblings. Now, after 62 years, Howard is headed home. Though they never found the closure they sought, Howards parents never lost hope, even purchasing a third cemetery plot in Elwood with hopes

that their son’s remains could be buried with them. On July 12, the decades old wish will come true. Howard, who died on active duty, will be buried, with full military honors, next to his parents in Elwood City Cemetery. Funeral services will be held at CopherFelser-May Funeral Home at 1 p.m. with visitation starting at 11 a.m. the same day. Howard is survived by all six syblings: Paul Martin of Frankton, Max Martin of Wabash, Kay Marling of

Anderson, Ray Martin of Converse, Fran Williams of Elwood, and James Martin of Alexandria. The recovery efforts continue at Colony Glacier, which has been declared an active gravesite. JPAC hopes to finish as quickly as possible, as the glacier continues to move toward Inner Lake George, at which point the remaining wreckage will be lost. The mountain on which the crash occurred has been officially renamed Globemaster Peak. Paul Martin recent-

ly received his brother’s wallet, which was recovered at the site. Inside was a pay stub for $34.80, representing two weeks’ pay. On July 10, Paul and his family will receive something even more precious - their brother’s remains. Howard’s sister, Fran, was just 7 when he died. Her husband, Mike Williams, will escort Howard’s remains from the JPAC headquarters in Hawaii to Indianapolis. It will be the long lost airman’s final flight, and after 62 years, his flight is headed home.

ISP reminds people “never leave a child unattended in a vehicle”

With summer in full swing and people traveling to summer destinations, citizens are reminded to take extra caution as it relates to small children and hot cars. Tragically each year, particularly during

the summer months, there are reports of child deaths as a result of being left in hot cars. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), cars parked in direct sunlight can

reach internal temperatures of 131 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit when outside temperatures are 80 to 100 degrees. Even outside temperatures in the 60’s can cause internal car temperatures to rise well above 110.

Even with the window rolled down two inches, the interior temperature of the car can rise to well over 100 degrees in as little as 15 minutes. According to a report by Jan Null, CCM of the

Metzger expands services to farm real estate sales Wabash County based Metzger Property Services, LLC is pleased to expand its current line of services to include independent farm real estate sales and auctions. Over the past 40 years, Metzger Auction has conducted 1000+ land auc-

tions across the Midwest for a regionally based real estate company. “Our vast experience puts us in a unique position to offer an extremely high level of service and expertise to the local marketplace,” says company owner Chad Metzger.

The current trend in farm real estate is expansion, with the majority of the companies focusing on achieving a high volume of national sales. “Our goal is to provide the local market with the same marketing horsepower as the national companies without sacrificing

Department of Earth & Climate Sciences, San Francisco State University, as of June 25, 13 children in the U.S. have died this year as a result of heatstroke after being left in a hot car and a total of 44 children died in 2013. From 1998 to the present, 619 children have died as a result of heatstroke after being left in cars or an average of 38 per year. These unfortunate tragedies can be easily avoided by following these tips: •Never leave a child

unattended in a vehicle, not even for a minute. •If you see a child unattended in a hot vehicle, call 9-1-1. •Be sure that all occupants leave the vehicle when unloading. Don’t overlook sleeping babies. •Always lock your car and ensure children do not have access to keys or remote entry devices. If a child is missing, always check the pool first, and then the car, including the trunk. Teach your children that vehicles are

never to be used as a play area. •Keep a stuffed animal in the car seat and when the child is put in the seat place the animal in the front with the driver. •Or place your purse or briefcase in the back seat as a reminder that you have your child in the car. •Make “look before you leave” a routine whenever you get out of the car. •Have a plan that your childcare provider will call you if your child does not show up for school.-
