Battle continues over English curriculum at MSD

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Tensions ran high at the Metropolitan School District’s May 13 board meeting as a packed room full of parents and concerned citizens voiced their objections to the list of reading materials proposed for high school students. The contentious debate grew out of a board policy reform last year, which requires teachers to submit supplementary book selections for approval by the board. As part of the new procedure, parents were given the opportunity to review the selections and submit objections to books that they didn’t think should be included.

In total, teachers from both district high schools submitted more than 90 books for review. Books will be approved for a six-year period, similar to textbook adoption. The board policy requires teachers to submit titles for review that some people may find objectionable.

“We tossed it around, and we said, ‘how would we know what someone might object to?’ So, the teachers decided to vet all 90-100 books,” Superintendent Sandra Weaver said during the meeting.

Parents were given 30 days to review the list and submit objections. In the end, three families objected to a total of eight books: Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, The Nick Adams Stories by Ernest Hemingway, Slaughterhouse Five

by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Meyers, The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, and Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion.

The last three books on that list were quickly removed. After submitting five objections, Carmen Fleck received an email from submitting teacher and Northfield High School English depart-

Early deadline for Memorial Day On Monday, May 26, schools and businesses will take a day off to honor those who died while serving our country. The Paper will join in this remembrance. Because of this important national holiday, our deadlines for news to appear in the May 28 edition have been moved up.

The deadline for news and press releases is Thursday, May 22 at 5 p.m.

The deadline for advertisements is Friday, May 23 at noon.

As we remember those who have fallen, The Paper’s staff would like to thank all veterans for their service to our country.

BRAD FLECK VOICES HIS CONCERNS regarding the books proposed for the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County’s English curriculum. Fleck was one of eight parents who voiced their opinions during the meeting. (photo by Eric Stearley) ment head Erin Sapusek.

“She said, ‘I have decided to rescind Perks of Being a Wallflower, Thirteen Reasons Why, and Warm Bodies. These are selections that I value as great books and good reads, but they are best served as recreational reading at the choice of the student,’” Fleck said, quoting the email from Sapusek. “I had asked for more time, and she wanted to save me the hassle, because she figured Warm Bodies would be one that I would object to as well.”

A fourth selection, Fallen Angels, was later removed from the list.

“We vetted classroom sets that were there,” Weaver said during the board meeting. “No one has any intention of teaching it, but they decided to vet what was there. I talked with the board the other day, and that is going to be removed from the list. We decided that since no one has any intent of teaching it, we would remove it.”

“I don’t like the books that were on there, especially the Fallen Angels,” said School Board President Matt Driscoll.

“Besides it being on there, it’s fiction. It’s one thing to have a true story where you can get some value out of somebody growing up and learning something from bad things happening to them. A true story is a lot different when there’s a positive end to it versus make believe.

I’m not a big fan of fiction in the classroom like that.”

With four books left on the objection list, the focus turned to The Glass Castle, an autobiographical memoir. During the current school year, the book was taught

in junior English classes, as well as a freshman honors English class.

Teresa Sears was the first to speak out during the public comments section of the board meeting.

“I wonder if the board has read the books on the list,” said Sears. “As a Christian, I don’t take God’s name in vain, and I don’t want my children reading that, but it wasn’t only God’s name in vain, it was the filth. Absolute filth. I wish you brought your kids here so I could read it to them.”

Sears read a list of objectionable words to the board after clarifying, with those in attendance, which book the words were taken from. She was visibly upset.

“My children will not sit in a class with that vulgar language,” said Sears.

“Some day they can choose to read it on their own, and that time will come when they answer to God.” Sears was not the only parent to voice an opinion. In total, eight parents presented their concerns.

“There are a lot of words that I wouldn’t want my children or grandchildren reading,” said Doug Friedersdorf.

“There’s a lot of profanity, graphic violence, kissing, sexuality, homosexuality…”

Friedersdorf then read a synopsis of the plot that several members of the audience and school board found objectionable.

“It won the YALSA Alex Award in 2006 for adult books, not children,” said Friedersdorf.

“This is pathetic.

Whoever’s giving you your 90 books to

choose from needs to be raked over the coals.”

Friedersdorf was correct in stating that The Glass Castle won the award, however, YALSA stands for Young Adult Library Services Association, which is a division of the American Library Association. The Alex Awards, in particular, are given to 10 titles each year that “have a special appeal to young adults, ages 12-18.” The book spent a total of 261 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list. It received three objections, the most of any book on the list.

“The Glass Castle is [a] great read,” Fleck said in an interview prior to the meeting, “but I have trouble thinking that a ninth grader can separate…the sexuality that’s in there, that content, to find the value of the book.”

“There are a lot of kids (in our schools) that are sexually abused,” concerned parent Sandi Kirtlan said in an interview. “They’re in years of therapy.”

“Some of them haven’t even come out that they’ve been sexually abused,” her husband Scott added. “Some kids have experienced this and have just been holding it in for all of these years.”

“They’re wanting to bring these kids into a classroom and teach something that the parents don’t even know they’re bringing in, and by the time the parent realizes that their kid is reading this book, all that therapy is gone,” Sandi continued.

“That could be a great book, but in a therapeutic setting for these kids,” added Scott. “There are kids that, that would (continued on page 5)

I’m old school. If it works and it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. The voting machines and poll books were paid for and worked. The dollars paid to the

I believe the stay home voter would get motivated in Indiana with term limits and open primaries.

Reahard calls for solutions

Dear editor, I can’t stand it anymore. Every week there is new claims for unemployment of over 300,000, but the White House and the whole press corps will focus on 185,000 “new jobs created, up 15,000 from the week before,” and so “the economy is improving.” What? Really? Is the press corps so stupid or complicit that they can’t subtract and see there is a net loss of over 100,000 jobs? And to keep this up for six years? Not even once in the last six years has job growth exceeded the new claims for unemployment.

There is no growth.

Admit it. We are in a recession. We have to admit it so we can start looking for the solutions.

Guess what? the White House isn’t going to tell you this. You have to figure this out on your own.

And it is really sad.

These 300,000 new unemployed are real people, who need a job to support their family, not a piddly government check that’s going to run out in a few months. And I heard there were 835,000 people who dropped out of the workforce in the first quarter of 2014. It is really sad and hard to

admit that over 800,000 people have stopped even looking for work, but isn’t that the real story?

And businesses can’t or won’t invest in creating new jobs.

Why? Because Obama is an obstacle or a huge uncertainty for them. The Canada Pipeline would create thousands of jobs and lower our cost for gasoline but Obama and his EPA obstructs its approval. Obama’s EPA is shutting down over 200 coal-powered electricity plants, enough to cause a blackout in the extreme heat of summer. And electricity rates will rise as these plants go off line.

For business, this is a scary time to invest because of the uncertainty. Obamacare has dozens of new taxes.

27 is the number I’ve heard. And without knowing the costs, a business is wary to invest.

So businesses now sit on $3 trillion, afraid to invest it in the USA. EPA and regulations have already killed thousands of small businesses and thousands more are on the brink if Obamacare gets fully implemented next year.

Wake up America!

These businesses represent hundreds of thousands of jobs, maybe yours. Demand that the Congress repeal Obamacare.

Selection of the state award winners is based on a personal interview, size and growth of the FFA member’s Supervised A g r i c u l t u r a l Experience (SAE) and their knowledge of the subject area and career pathway. These awards honor FFA members who have developed specialized skills they can apply to their future careers.

SAE awards have three categories: e n t r e p r e n e u r s h i p, placement and research/experimentation.

Entrepreneurship awards are given to students whose SAE involves ownership of an agricultural production or an agribusiness enterprise.

Placement awards go to those with SAEs related to employment, apprenticeship or internship at an agribusiness or agriculture-related organization.

Research awards are given to students whose SAEs relate to utilizing and understanding scientific methods and discovery. SAEs are an integral part of quality agricultural education programs.

Fifty-two state award winners were selected from over 17,000 FFA members statewide. FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Battle continues over English curriculum at MSD...continued from front page just be devastating to have to relive.”

Many parents present at the school board meeting voiced concerns about the fact that ninth grade honors students, though academically advanced, are not as mature as eleventh grade students, and therefore, should not be reading the book.

“There’s a lot that the human body does in that phase from 14 to 17, and you cannot compare the two,” said Scott Kirtlan.

More than anything, Fleck wanted to know what the educational objectives were for the books proposed.

“My initial concern with this is why some of these books were put on the list to begin with,” said Fleck. “I have asked to see educational objectives for and English class for these books, and I have yet to be given the educational objectives. “Like the book, Fallen Angels, it’s a great book. My child can learn about the war, though, in history class and not have to have all the sexual fantasies of the soldiers thrown into it. I just want to see why they chose this book.”

Her husband Brad agreed.

“Like The Glass Castle, if they come back with great educational objectives and the teacher can explain to us how she intends to use the book, as far as showing the person overcoming these challenges that they had early in life, that could be a great resource in that way,” said Brad. “At an eleventh grade level, I would potentially then be OK with that.”

Superintendent Weaver summarized a two-page request form submitted by a teacher, which included the educational objectives.

She explained how the book met state standards for contemporary non-fiction texts and autobiographies.

“The Glass Castle is a study in non-fiction writing, character development, and development themes not available in other novels and autobiographies,” Weaver read. “No other novel or autobiography in contemporary text has the complexity of themes that this autobiography has.

Themes suggested are self-sufficiency, nonconformity, chaos, paranoia versus control, endurance and wisdom by the author, and personal survival and achievement despite overwhelming obstacles.”

Carmen Fleck still wanted to know why this particular book had to be a part of the curriculum, and if it fell in line with the district’s goal to put “kids first, last, and always.”

“You’re telling me that this is the very best piece of literature that we can put in front of our kids when our mission statement is ‘to build the mind and character of every student to produce positive citizens for the 21st Century?’” said Fleck.

“You would not allow your teachers to walk around the school building saying these words. Our kids are sitting in a class, required to read this and being tested over this for a grade, yet this is something that they would be reprimanded for if they Googled it on their computer.”

“If a child were to open this book and read these two pages, they’d be disciplined in some form,” said Scott Kirtlan in an interview. “How can we justify that, ‘you can’t say it, but you can read it?’”

Another concerned parent, Todd Dazey, was sympathetic to the views expressed by those present at the meeting. His main point, however, dealt with the rights of parents.

“If a parent says that ‘this is something I’d let my child read,’ then I fully support that parent to make that choice, just as I would expect that they would fully support my choice not to let my child read this,” Dazey said at

!#

the board meeting.

“My position is that they are not fine, but I cannot define morality for any person in this room or in this world, nor would I want to.”

Weaver addressed the issue of individual parent choice at the meeting. When initially discussed at a prior meeting, it was said that students who chose not to read a book would have no choice but to fail that section of the course.

This was of primary concern for the Flecks, Kirtlans and Mr. Dazey. They worried that not allowing their children to read certain books would penalize their children academically.

“We’re not trying to ban books, nor are we trying to take away your right to parent as you choose, so don’t take away our right to parent as we choose,” Dazey said in an interview preceding the meeting.

“We’re just trying to do what’s best for our children,” Scott Kirtlan added.

A new policy regarding repercussions was announced early in the meeting.

When parents go to school registration next fall, a list of books to be read in each class will be made available, with likely objections noted. If a parent objects to one of the selections, an alternate assignment will be given to the student.

“If there are two or more books, then we suggest you do the online program and it’s the same credit,” Weaver said at the meeting.

This put some at ease.

“If you want your child to read that, that’s fine, but I don’t want my child to be forced into reading that, so if there’s an alternative assignment that they can do without failing the grade and without having to read that specific book, I’m OK with it,” said Dazey.

Others were not totally satisfied.

“Why do we want this kind of controversy in our school? It makes no sense whatsoever. Why do we want to push the line when there’s no need?” Brad Fleck asked the board. “I’ve got other things I could be doing, but because I feel like the school district violated public trust, I need to be here.”

One parent was more concerned with the judgment of the teachers than with the individual book selections.

“A bigger concern for me is, OK, you’re going to take two weeks and read a book.

They’re exposed to a teacher who thinks that’s fine for an entire year of classes,” said Cole Wyatt. “To me, that’s a far bigger issue…somebody whose judgment is so lacking that some of that material would be fed to children under their care.”

“They’re teachers,” Weaver responded.

“They teach the book and talk about, “why was that particular language used?” So they do go through that. You mentioned words that you can’t search on the Internet.

That’s because in the class, they’re taught about appropriateness, inappropriateness,

and they talk about the impact of what went on in the author’s life.”

At one point, the meeting fell out of order, with people talking over one another and directing pointed questions and accusations at educators and members of the board.

“This group, as a board, has decided to allow public comment,” Weaver said, clarifying the meeting’s procedure.

“That is not a typical thing that a lot of boards may do. We’re the farm.

We’re Wabash, Indiana. We say, ‘come, we want to hear what you have to say,’ but hearing what you have to say is different than discussing back and forth. This is a meeting held in public. That does not mean that there is any expectation of a response back from the board or myself.”

As the public comments concluded, the board went about its normal business before arriving at the recommendation to approve the book selections. Four of the five board members were present. Board member John Gouvela was regretfully absent, attending a business meeting that he could not miss. The other four offered their opinions on the matter.

“With the list the way it is, I’m not especially happy with The Glass Castle being on

there,” said President Matt Driscoll, “but if we have a list where it’s starred for par-

ents to look at it and say…I want to opt out of that, that allows (continued on page 6)

THE PAPER

May 21, 2014

Battle continues over English curriculum at MSD...continued from page 5 parents to have control over what their student is reading.

There’s a lot of parents that aren’t here, and we’ve gotten some emails. They’re perfectly fine with it.

It’s a balancing act. At this point in time, I think I would vote to pass the list. I kind of have to trust the process that we did, a little bit.”

Board member Troy Baer agreed.

“The process worked. The Glass Castle was one of those that I was borderline, but having gotten some feedback from some very conservative people that I respect, I think if there’s an option, not a requirement, I would be OK with that.”

Board member Kevin Bowman was alone in the fact that

he has read The Glass C a s t l e .

Superintendent Weaver confirmed prior to the meeting that at the time the objections were submitted, none of the objecting parties had read any of the books objected to, though some have read them since.

“If you want to hear my thoughts on The Glass Castle, I’ll share them with you. I thought it’d be worse than what it was,” said Bowman. “It was interesting. It held my attention. I don’t think I would say that you need to read it.

For myself and my own belief system that I come from, I thought it was sad that some people live in such a spiritual vacuum and are so misdirected in life.

read here tonight [were] pretty much the whole of all the bad things that were in the book. The real story in that book is about a couple of screwed up parents. I mean, screwed up.

And the kids make it through their life.

They’ve still got their issues too. It’s not a lot about sex or that kind of thing. I just want you to know that.

“I still have issues with it at a freshmen level,” Bowman continued. “Would I let my daughter read it?

My daughter is a senior. No problem about it. Would I choose that book? You have no idea what I would choose to have these kids read, but that’s me. Are there other things out there?

There’s great things out there. Why do we even want to go there?

I struggle with that a lot. I came here tonight with what I thought was the way I was going to vote.

Now, after hearing everything, I’m undecided.”

The fourth board member, Ryan Rosen, echoed some of what Bowman said.

“Would I let my kids

involved to let them know that she is supportive of what they’re trying to do in teaching students.

She also spoke to the fact that the only parents present were those objecting to the list.

“I’ve had parents contact me that are for the list, and they don’t want this group of parents speaking for them or their child,” said Weaver.

“Sometimes only the people who are upset about it voice their opinion, and that’s too bad.”

Though they weren’t present at the board meeting, it appears that those in favor of the list voiced their opinion in an admitedly unscientific online poll recently conducted by The Paper.

Those surveyed were asked, “Do you trust educators to choose reading materials, or should parents have veto power?” After 176 votes, the results were as follows: 27 percent thought that educators should always be in charge of curriculum; 24 percent answered, “If you don’t like public school curriculum, send your kids elsewhere; 22 percent thought that alternative reading options

should be given to those who object; 21 percent felt that educators should make the decision, but parents should have a say; 3 percent said that parents should choose the books taught to children; and 2 percent felt that if a parent objects to a book, it should be removed from the list, period.

“If the board votes a different way, they’re an elected board, and you take care of that with your vote,” Scott Kirtlan said. “Those are the people who you elected, so we really need to respect their decision.”

A brochure distributed by the district asks, “Got an idea about how to make a great education even better? Knock. The door’s always open.”

“That’s what we’re doing,” said Carmen Fleck. “We’re knocking, because I think there’s better alternatives to some of these pieces.”

The next school board meeting will be held May 27 at 6 p.m.

As always, parents, concerned citizens, and community leaders are encouraged to attend and voice their opinion before the board makes its final decision.

read the book? I’ll answer you directly. I don’t know yet. My kids are very young.

Taking Kevin’s word for it, I’d probably let them,” said Rosen. “I struggle with a ninth grade level. I have a perception that children are not developed enough at 14 or 15 years old to comprehend what an adult expects them to comprehend.

“How do I want to vote on this? I consider this position as a representative of the people that vote me in, and it’s hard for me to sit up here and say I’m going to vote for a list when there’s this many people here against it. That’s not fair. I feel like I need to vote with what this community holds, or at least a portion of it, especially people that live in the same district that they vote me in.”

Rosen is employed at the Wabash Fire Department and offered some insight regarding what he encounters in the course of his duties.

“Right now, I don’t agree with one book on the list, but I can see why a teacher would want to teach it, especially in a very conservative community – to show kids that everything isn’t

as it seems.” said Rosen. “If we go into certain portions of this community, you can see some of the same things that are demonstrated in this book. That’s a fact, people. We get to see these lives lived out, so it’s real.”

While several parents still felt that the classroom was not an appropriate setting for the discussion of these unfortunate realities, the time for public comment had passed. In the end, all four board members felt that John Gouvela’s counsel was needed in order to make a final decision.

The book approval was unanimously tabled with the final vote set for the May 27 meeting.

“I’m glad to have people that want to discuss academics, so I feel good about that,” Weaver said in a later interview. “I appreciate the input. I appreciate the questions. I think we have to remember that we are choosing for an entire district, not just for a few children, and I believe we have given parents good options if they object to books.”

Weaver said that since the meeting, she has spoken with some of the teachers

Fredrick Squires, Jr., 77

Fredrick Howard Squires, Jr. 77, rural Wabash, died at 7:55 a.m. Saturday, May 17, at Peabody Healthcare Center in North Manchester. He was born Sept. 2, 1936 in Lafayette, to Fredrick Howard, Sr. and Dorothy (Brant) Squires. He married Constance Ann Shick in LaPorte, on Aug. 25, 1963.

Fred graduated from Wabash High School in 1954, received a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University in 1958 and a Masters Degree from Ball State in 1966. While at Purdue, Fred was a member of Kappa Sigma and Iron Key. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Wabash and attended the First United Methodist Church.

Fred’s professional career included teaching history, counseling and coaching students in various sports in Huntington, Nappanee and Wabash before working for Beauchamp and McSpadden Insurance.

Though Fred positively influenced many lives through his professional career, it is his role as a leader in the community of Wabash that made a profound impact. Recognized as the 2012 Wabash Distinguished Citizen, Fred’s participation in community work would take up several columns in a newspaper. There are very few organizations in the community that he didn’t touch in some way. His benefit to these groups was his understanding of people and how things get done in this county. In recent years he would play a major role in the building of the Wabash YMCA and the Wabash County Hospital Foundation. His fundraising skills were unmatched as he raised millions in his lifetime to improve this community that he loved so much.

Fred shared his talents and generosity in other ways, particularly with the youth of Wabash County as a leader in the 4-H program, sports officiating and one of his true loves - coaching basketball. As a women’s basketball coach at Wabash and Southwood High Schools his extended family grew as he saw each young woman he coached as “one of his girls”.

He is survived by his wife, Constance Ann Squires, Wabash; four children, Beth (Joel) Stein, Wabash, Amy (Jeff) Beer, Nappanee, Meg (Jamie) Butcher, Lone Tree, Colo., and Tom (Michele) Squires, Petoskey, Mich., 10 grandchildren, Jessica Beer, Nappanee, Jack Stein, Wabash, Treg Beer, Nappanee, Abigail Stein, Wabash, Graham Butcher, Lone Tree, Liz Beer, Nappanee, Trevor Butcher, Lone Tree, Matthew Stein, Wabash, Emma Squires and Michael Squires, both of Petoskey, and his sister, Janet (Robert) Halderman, Wabash. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Edward Brant Squires.

Funeral services were held May 21, at Wabash Presbyterian Church, with Rev. Jonathan Cornell officiating. Burial followed in Falls Cemetery, Wabash.

Preferred memorials are the YMCA of Wabash County or Dorothy Squires Scholarship at the Community Foundation of Wabash County.

Manchester Main Street holds annual meeting Manchester Main Street (MMS) held its annual meeting on May 5 at the Main View in downtown North Manchester.

2014 MMS Board President Tim Brauch welcomed the Board, committees and members in attendance, and highlighted several MMS town improvement projects from the 2013 Annual Report that have made positive impacts.

“Manchester Main Street accomplished a lot in 2013,” Brauch said. “We hosted the first-ever Eel River Arts Festival, which showcased our local talent and attracted residents and tourists to downtown. The Community Trail Network was installed and will officially open this year.

The hanging flower baskets, sidewalk planters and storefront artwork add an additional beautification touch to the town’s now completed

downtown streetscape renovation project.”

In 2013, MMS grew its member base to 107, and has over 50 volunteers serving on six active committees – America in Bloom, E c o n o m i c Restructuring, Historic Preservation & Design, Manchester PATH Group, North Manchester Garden Club, and Promotion & Art. “I applaud the efforts of Manchester Main Street to host quality events like the Eel River Arts Festival and Holiday Gala that effectively connect participants to the mission and purpose of the organization,” said Christine Flohr, Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director.

“This piece is often neglected by other non-profits that host events but miss their mission.”

During the annual meeting, MMS

Executive Director Renata Robinson facilitated a creative brainstorming session listing town assets upon which to build the “buzz” about all North Manchester has to offer. Each asset was then developed into an engaging project, event or promotional strategy to help generate community awareness and encourage involvement.

“At our mid-year planning meeting in March, we discussed the 25-year history of the organization and why Manchester Main Street exists,” Robinson said. “We came up with ‘Manchester Main Street exists to empower our community to embrace its potential.’ This brainstorming exercise is a translation of our ‘Why’ into our ‘What’ – action items that carry out our purpose and mission.”

Annual meeting attendees generated

over 20 new project ideas and identified several key goals to incorporate into MMS’ 2014 Scope of Work.

You like to have fun!

There’s probably no better way to accomplish these things than by playing a sport. If your choice is tennis you have made a great decision.

Tennis has been recognized as the sport for a lifetime. Tennis will benefit you physically, mentally and emotionally. It’s no accident that tennis enthusiasts have slimmer waistlines than the average person.

It’s not uncommon to see senior players active and vibrant well past their eighties. Plus, what parent wouldn’t want their children to develop discipline, manage mistakes, learn to compete and accept responsibility through their growing years? Sure tennis may be a little tough and challenging sometimes, but the many advantages make it worth your time and effort.

You’ve made a great decision to play tennis now and you will be rewarded throughout your life!”

AS ALWAYS, DO ME A FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week! Spring has finally sprung…I think.

Local student honored during Huntington University’s nursing pinning ceremony Karyssa Boyd, Urbana, was honored in a traditional nursing pinning ceremony on May 16.

The Class of 2014 is the fourth graduating class from the Department of Nursing.

The history of the pinning ceremony comes from the Crimean War when Florence Nightingale took 38 women to Turkey to nurse sick and wounded British soldiers. As she cared for her patients by the light of a lamp, Florence Nightingale became known as the “lady with the lamp.”

As a tribute to Florence’s dedication, the lamp icon became symbolic of nursing.

In the traditional ceremony the nursing

pin is used to signify this same dedication, the end of formal education and the beginning of practice. It is a way of welcoming graduates into the nursing profession.

At the ceremony, students received the H u n t i n g t o n U n i v e r s i t y Department of Nursing pin with the de par tment’s emblem.

This year, Lindsay Shellabarger was presented with the Senior Leadership Award.

The Leadership Award is voted on by the senior class.

The ceremony also included a “Passing of the Lamp” presentation from Shellabarger to Brianna Givens.

KARYSSA BOYD

“The pinning ceremony has a distinctive meaning to graduating nursing students as it signifies the end of an intense and rigorous education leading them to the socialization into their chosen careers,” said Dr. Margaret Winter, director of nursing.

Cathy’s Natural Market celebrates anniversary Cathy’s Natural Market, located at 1315 N. Cass St., Wabash, will be cele-

brating their sixmonth anniversary on June 6 from 5-7 p.m.

They will have samples, company representatives and giveaways to celebrate.

Museum extends hours for summer and brings local additions to circus exhibit

The Wabash County Historical Museum will be extending its hour for the summer months. “We are so proud of our facility,” said executive director Mitch Figert, “and we want to engage as many guests as possible. We’re hoping that extended hours will allow greater accessibility to the museum.”

Beginning May 13, the Wabash County Historical Museum will be open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on T u e s d a y s , Wednesdays, and Thursdays. It will remain open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

The extended hours will give visitors more opportunities to see “Doug Konkle’s Miniature Circus,” which received some unique local additions. The DeLong Sisters (Augusta, Malvina, and Emily) were an acrobatic team that traveled the world with the Ringling Brothers Circus, performing across the country and around the globe from time they were early teens. They even performed in Germany to great acclaim, with a preWorld War II Hitler in attendance.

When they retired from the circus, each of the sisters married and settled in the Wabash County area.

They all lived within 20 miles of each other and remained close for the remainder of their lives.

Malvina (known as Mena) and her husband owned Ernie’s

Drive-In, a popular destination in Wabash for many years.

Malvina’s daughter, Lana Long, has the loaned the museum several artifacts from her mother’s time in the circus, including an acrobatic costume and the leather bit Mena used for an aerialist act, as well as photographs and other memorabilia.

Admission to “Doug Konkle’s Miniature Circus” with the DeLong Sister memorabilia is included in the museum’s general admission.

Call 260-563-9070 for more information about the museum’s

hours and exhibits.

enced losses from natural disasters that occurred on or after Oct. 1, 2011, can sign up for the Tree Assistance Program (TAP).

The Agricultural Act of 2014 authorized TAP as a permanent disaster program.

TAP provides financial assistance to qualifying orchardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate eligible trees, bushes and vines damaged by natural disasters.

Eligible tree types include trees, bushes or vines that produce an annual crop for commercial purposes.

Nursery trees include ornamental, fruit, nut and Christmas trees that are produced for commercial sale.

Trees used for pulp or timber are ineligible.

To qualify for TAP,

orchardists must suffer a qualifying tree, bush or vine loss in excess of 15 percent mortality from an eligible natural disaster.

The eligible trees, bushes or vines must have been owned when the natural disaster occurred; however, eligible growers are not required to own the land on which the eligible trees, bushes and vines were planted.

If the TAP application is approved, the eligible trees, bushes and vines must be replaced within 12 months from the date the application is approved. The cumulative total quantity of acres planted to trees, bushes or vines, for which a producer can receive TAP payments, cannot exceed 500 acres annually.

Contact your local FSA office at 260-5633145 ext. 2 for more information.

To expedite applications, all producers who experienced losses are encouraged to bring records documenting those losses to their local FSA Office.

Producers should record all pertinent information of natural disaster consequences, including: •Documentation of the number and kind of livestock that have

died, supplemented if possible by photographs or video records of ownership and losses •Dates of death supported by birth recordings or purchase receipts •Costs of transporting livestock to safer grounds or to move animals to new pastures •Feed purchases if supplies or grazing pastures are destroyed •Crop records, including seed and fertilizer purchases, planting and production records Eligible producers can sign-up for the following livestock disaster assistance programs:

Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP): •LFP provides compensation to eligible livestock producers that have suffered grazing losses due to drought on privately owned or cash leased land or fire on federally managed land.

Eligible producers must physically be located in a county affected by a qualifying drought during the normal grazing period for the county.

Producers who suffered eligible grazing losses should submit a completed CCC-853 and supporting documentation by Jan. 30, 2015.

Producers who suffered livestock death losses should submit a notice of loss and an application for payment to their local FSA office by Jan. 30, 2015.

E m e r g e n c y Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) •ELAP provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of

livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish that have losses due to disease, adverse weather, or other conditions, such as blizzards and wildfires. ELAP assistance is provided for losses not covered by LFP and LIP. Producers who suffered eligible livestock, honeybee or farm-raised fish losses

during 2012 and 2013 program years must submit a notice of loss and application for payment to their local FSA office by August 1, 2014. For 2014 program year losses, the notice of loss and an application for payment must be submitted by Nov. 1, 2014.

Give blood in honor of World Blood Donor Day

The American Red Cross encourages all eligible donors to choose their day to help save lives by giving blood in honor of World Blood Donor Day. Every year on June 14, countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day. The occasion raises awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products, and thanks voluntary blood donors for their lifesaving gifts of blood.

“World Blood Donor Day comes at a very important time each year,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO, Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region.

“Summer can be a challenging time for blood donations, with fewer donors available to donate blood due to busy summer schedules. World Blood Donor Day gives us an opportunity to highlight the need for blood during the summer months and yearround.”

World Blood Donor Day occurs on day 21 of the Red Cross 100 Days of Summer. 100 Days of Hope. campaign.

Whitman added that it’s a perfect time for donors to help save lives and boost the blood supply for patients in need.

Wabash Cannonball kicks off season with two-day event Hanging Baskets Slater’s Own Maple Syrup Seed Potatoes Onion Sets & Plants Bulk Garden Seeds

Bedding Plants now available

SLATER’S FRUIT MARKET St. Rd. 13 • Sidney, IN • 260-839-2755 Hours: Monday - Saturday 8-5 Closed Sunday

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Engines roared to life on the south side of town last weekend as Wabash Cannonball MX kicked off the 2014 motocross season with a vintage bike weekend in coordination with Midwest Vintage Motocross.

The motorcycles were as varied as the riders in a weekend that started wet and ended dry and dusty.

MAY • NO FIRST PAYMENT • NO SECURITY DEPOSIT

Wabash Cannonball Motorcycle Club started in 1937. The track on the south side of Wabash is the third oldest sanctioned motocross track in the country, and as such, it draws people from across the country to ride the “old school” course. It was only appropriate that the first race weekend of the year was dedicated to vintage motocross.

Though races were held for modern bikes, the real star machines were those from the 60s, 70s and 80s, which, after all these years, still get the job done.

“The vintage era, it’s an extension of the sport that was nearly lost,” said Woody Graves of Midwest Vintage Motocross who organ-

ized the weekend’s races. “We’ve worked really hard to preserve the sport, and were trying to produce more riders with youth.”

The racers in vintage motocross are unique. It’s not your typical twenty-something tempting fate with death-defying tricks on every jump.

Many of the riders rode the now-vintage bikes back when they were young and the bikes were modern.

Don Baker is one of them. A Roann resident, Baker has been racing motocross for 35 years. Now, at age 65, he has a 4-year-old granddaughter who is just starting to ride, but he doesn’t just sit on the sidelines.

Baker raced in Saturday’s +55 Vintage B division.

“I stayed on two

wheels and I’m still walking, that’s a good weekend. I don’t pretend to be super competitive anymore. It’s just about getting my laps in,” said Baker.

“It’s so much fun for me, especially with the old bikes, because that’s where I started.”

When asked what keeps him on a bike after all these years, he said simply, “It’s the only thing I want to do.”

Another rider, Bob Zacks, raced a late 60s Penton, one of the first light motorcycles designed for motocross. At 49, he is what he considers “one of the younger guys in the vintage crowd.” Zacks got into motocross after a cross-country rally race in South America. His favorite part of the weekend

was the pig roast.

Don wasn’t the only local on the track last weekend.

Taylor Poole pulled off a second place finish in the youth 10-15 division on Saturday, while Joshua Lee picked up a win in the same division on Sunday. At only ten years old, Lee already has five years of racing under his belt. Lee has dreams of one day racing in the Loretta Lynn Amateur National M o t o c r o s s Championship and becoming a professional motocross racer. For now, his favorite thing about racing is “the dangerous part.”

While the locals had home-field advantage, that didn’t stop racers from traveling as much as twelve hours to the event. Along with a multitude of Hoosiers, there were racers from Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin. No one, however, traveled as far to race at the Wabash Cannonball track as Joann Halpin, who came all the way across the pond from Ireland to race, (though admittedly, it was part of a vacation to the United States, but she scheduled the dates so that she could race in Wabash.

“It’s a really nice track. Absolutely brilliant. The people here are awesome. It’s very family oriented,” said Halpin.

As the weekend came to a close and the dust settled, racers left with a smile on their faces and fond memories of the old school track in the little town of Wabash.
