Students experience college at ‘Walk Into My Future’ by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Friday, Sept. 26, more than 2,100 elementary school students from Wabash and Whitley counties came together on the campus of Manchester University to take the first steps toward college during the second-ever Walk Into My Future event. Walk Into My Future was created as a way to get students interested in college during their first few years in school. It’s a cornerstone in the Wabash County Promise, an initiative launched in 2013 to build hope in students and increase educational attainment, with the goal of encouraging all students to pursue education after high school. With the success of the Promise last year, Whitley County created its own program this year, and its students joined those from Wabash County in the day of exploration and excitement. At 9:15 a.m., the first group of Kindergarten through third grade students arrived on campus. They were met with the smiling faces of Manchester University students, more than half of which volunteered to help with the event. Over the next two hours, classes rotated through 14 educational stations led by university students and professors. In Wine Recital Hall, they heard a special version of Disney’s “Frozen” hit “Do You Want to Build A Snowman” from music students. They learned about spreading germs and washing hands from biology students. Physics students helped the youngsters make colorful designs with a paint pendulum. Psychology students showed off real sheep brains, while environmental sciences students taught the kids about reptiles using living, breathing snakes, turtles and fish. The young visitors got a penny and learned about investing from business students, played a game of career bingo, made “elephant toothpaste” with chemistry majors, and compared the volumes of different threedimensional shapes with the help of

Students spent the sunny day exploring the campus through stations, projects, and demonstrations from current college students from a variety of departments. During the main event, music filled the mall as more than 2,000 students walked through campus and envisioned themselves as college students.

As the first group finished up their stations, the second group of kids arrived on campus and everyone took a break for a sack lunch on the lawn. With more than 2,000 students chowing down, it was the largest gathering ever on the Manchester University mall. As lunches were finished, students heard words of encouragement from

some key people in making the day a reality. The crowd was welcomed by Wabash County Promise Co-founder Clint Kugler. Students then heard from Manchester University Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs Jeffrey Breese, presenting sponsor INGUARD’s CEO Parker Beauchamp, enrollment sponsor Parkview Health’s Senior Vice President Jill Ostrem, and Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers, who encouraged stu-

dents while promoting the College Choice 529 savings plan. The College Choice 529 savings plans help students save for college while providing significant tax benefits to those who invest in the student’s future. Following Lubber’s speech, three lucky students were selected to receive giant checks worth $529 to get their college savings started. Saint Bernard Catholic School’s Lily Flora was the first lucky (continued on page 5)

City Council Member Scott Long announces run for mayor

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Friday, Sept. 26, Scott Long gathered friends, family, and members of the press at Paradise Spring Historical Park for an important announcement. As a police officer and sitting member of city council, Long could have announced a number of things, but on that day, he announced his intentions to run for mayor. “I love this community and want to give back for all that it has given me, and most importantly, I want to continue serving the community in the future,” Long announced. “That being said, I would like to announce that I am running for the office of mayor in next year’s election on the republican ballot.” The announcement came just a week after Mayor Robert Vanlandingham announced that he will not run for reelection to a fourth term in 2015. This made Long’s decision to run easier, as he

will avoid challenging an incumbent in the primary, but he was planning to run either way. “Quite frankly, I’ve had a lot of members of the community approach me and ask me to run, and they said, ‘regardless of whether Mayor Vanlandingham was going to run, you should go ahead and run.’ I was hesitant,” said Long. “The mayor and I started out on the council…we were on the council together. I probably would have ran, but I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed it. There was a sense of relief when Bob made his announcement that he wasn’t going to run again.” Long made the announcement surrounded by friends, family, and supporters. For some, the announcement was a surprise, while others knew it was coming. In a classic case of mothers always finding out what their children are up to, Scott’s mother, Annabelle, learned of his (continued on page 7)

Wabash. The paintings to be displayed were created by people with disabilities at Arc of Wabash County as a result of classes taught by Arc staff members Kathy Bakehorn and Nanette DuBois, who are both revered local artists. Arc’s art program began in April of 2013 when the organization was awarded a grant from REMC’s Operation Roundup to purchase start-up art supplies. This year, the cost of art materials was covered by the proceeds from last year’s art sale and with donations from Arc staff and others in the community. Jo Wood, of Woods Framing and Art, also gave Arc a generous discount on the cost of art supplies and framing. Because of these contributions, art classes were made available at no cost to individuals attending Arc, who exhibited an interest in learning to express themselves through painting. South Miami Street Artists is comprised of individuals with disabilities and Arc staff members. Most of the pieces are a result of collaborations

between Arc staff and persons served by Arc. This year, the art show will also feature paintings that were created independently. “I continue to be amazed by the creative talents of the individuals we serve and our staff,” said Nancy Hoffman, Arc’s execu-

tive director. “Each artist shows a real sense of pride when their creation is finished and on display. It’s wonderful! I anticipate that this year’s gallery showing will be even better than last year’s show.” Following the reception on Friday, the art

will be displayed at Artistica Art Gallery until Oct. 17. Funds from the sale of artwork during the show will be used to support future art classes, provided at no cost at participants. Arc of Wabash County is a Wabash County United Fund agency.

The public, along with family and friends, is encouraged to come and join in the excitement of the unveiling of the winning design! The Wabash County Hands of Hope staff and council encouraged Wabash County students to submit art-

Members of the Wabash County Hands of Hope Advisory Council reviewed the 16 pieces of art and selected the top three designs, which represent the mission of the Hands of Hope. The logo art contest was open to all students enrolled in one of the Wabash County High Schools between April 2014 and September 2014. Each of the students who submitted artwork will be recognized and thanked for their submissions at

the gallery opening. This event is part of the First Friday activities, which, in October, highlights the community’s non-profit organizations, of which Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service Society, Inc. is one. Hands of Hope provides both prevention and intervention services in Wabash County through its satellite office in Wabash. The artistic designs will be on display at the museum during the month of October, which is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Wabash County Chess Tournament to be held Oct. 5 by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Sunday, Oct. 5, local chess players will gather at the Dallas Winchester Senior Center for a t o u r n a m e n t . Organized by chess enthusiast and owner of The Noisemaker Terry LeMaster, the tournament is open to all Wabash County residents. “I’m a tournament

chess player, and on the first Sunday of every other month, I host a chess tournament,” said LeMaster. The group has been meeting at The Access to play, but LeMaster wanted to get more locals involved, so he partnered with Living Well in Wabash County and Wellbrooke of Wabash to host a tournament open to county residents of all

ages and abilities. “I’m holding a chess tournament that day…for experienced chess players, but I wanted to get some Wabash players introduced to tournament chess,” said LeMaster. “Usually I play in the tournaments, but with this tournament, I’ll need to be more available, so I’ll just be directing the tournament.” The competition

begins at 1 p.m. If attendance allows for it, LeMaster hopes to split the competition into youth and adult divisions. The champion will receive a trophy and bragging rights as reigning Wabash County Chess Champion. With luck, the tournament will work to bring local chess players together and build a community around the game.

Young visitor takes first flight during Fly-In and Cruise-In

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Saturday, Sept. 20, Northern Indiana Aviation hosted a FlyIn and Cruise-In at the Wabash Municipal Airport to benefit local Special Olympics. The day got off to an early start with car show participants arriving at 8 a.m. They were met with a breakfast of biscuits and gravy as music filled the hangar. Dozens of classic cars were displayed on the lawn. Entry into the show was free, but donations were accepted to support Special Olympics. Among the many cars

was Bruce Fleck’s red 1981 Chevrolet Corvette. He and his wife, Deb, traveled from Harlan, located northeast of Fort Wayne, for the car show. They attend car shows regularly, but rarely do they come with the opportunity to take a flight around the area. For $10, attendees could take a short flight in one of two small planes. Bruce and Deb jumped on the opportunity early in the day. “We went up this morning,” said Bruce. “They take you up and around Wabash.” “That’s my first time up in a little plane,” said Deb. “It’s

a nice view.” Having enjoyed their flight and recognizing the great deal, they called their sonin-law, Greg Munster, who hurried out to the airport with his son, Preston. Having recently returned from a skydiving trip near Cincinnati, a flight in a small plane may have seemed pretty tame for Greg, but for Preston, who had never been in an airplane, the idea of flying was as exciting – and scary – as it gets. “I have toy airplanes,” Preston said, but a real airplane was a different story for the 6-year-old. When his turn in the airplane came, he took several hesitant steps toward the plane before turning around and running back to the bench. It took a few attempts before Preston got the courage to go, and after being lifted onto the wing and taking a seat in front of his dad, there was no turning back. The plane left the loading area under the direction of event organizer and pilot Jeff Traver. C o i n c i d e n t a l l y, Traver was also the

previous owner of Fleck’s Corvette. The small plane sped west on the runway, taking flight before veering north. Once behind the wheel of Fleck’s car, Traver was now flying the plane carrying his family. After several minutes, the plane was again in sight, flying east across the sky, then north, looping around and back to the runway. The plane landed, and as it approached the loading area, the look of uncertainty on Preston’s face had turned to joy and excitement. “It was like I was in a jet,” Preston said after climbing out of the fuselage. The ride turned out to be a bit bumpy, a result of weather changes that would soon end the flights. “I was about 100 high up,” Preston said, when asked how high he flew. “It was at the clouds.” On the pavement where he anxiously approached the plane just minutes before, he now walked with confidence. He said it was a little bumpy, but it was cool, because it was his first time in an airplane. His willingness to return to the skies came with a small stipulation. “Like that, not like with a lot of passengers,” said Preston.

A SMILING AND CONFIDENT PRESTON emerges from the cockpit after his flight. When asked if he’d like to fly again, he said yes, “like that, not like with a lot of passengers.” (photo by Eric Stearley)

breakfast, and affordable flights made the day memorable for

many, but none more than Preston Munster, who got his first taste of flying at the Wabash Municipal Airport.

Students experience college at ‘Walk Into My Future’...continued from front page

WABASH COUNTY PROMISE CO-FOUNDER CLINT KUGLER speaks to more than 2,000 elementary school students at the second annual Walk Into My Future, held on the campus of Manchester University on Friday, Sept. 26. Walk Into My Future is the first chance many students have to experience a college atmosphere. Organizers hope this experience sticks with them as they continue through school, creating a college identity for each student. (photo by Eric Stearley) winner. A Whitley County student, Jaden Bechtold, received the second check, while an obviously stage-frightened Tallulah Gawthrop from Manchester Elementary was selected as the third winner. With the final announcement and a brief congratulation, more than 2,100 students rose from the lawn and headed to the mall’s outer sidewalk to begin the Walk Into My Future. With students repeating each word as loud as they could in a call-and-response manner, Kugler called out from the podium, “I have a future! I am going to college,” and after taking the pledge, the mass of youngsters started the walk around the mall. As popular music blasted from the speakers, the walking turned into singing and dancing. There was no doubt that the day left one

impression on the students – college is fun. “To see it firsthand is really the only way that you can understand the power of what that event produces as far as lifetime memories and shaping a child’s horizon,” said Kugler. This was certainly the case for Lubbers, who attended the event for the first time. “It’s pretty unique. It was much bigger, and much more organized, and much more exciting than I [expected],” said Lubbers. “I knew what the name was, and I knew they were promoting 529 plans. I knew they had done it in partnership with Parkview Hospital, so I knew about it, but for me, just getting to spend time with children like that between the ages of Kindergarten and third grade is a treat. I don’t get to do that very often anymore.” As the

Commissioner for Higher Education, Lubbers is used to dealing with initiatives and campaigns to promote post-secondary education. College success coalitions bring community leaders together in 60 counties to discuss access and affordability, but Walk Into My Future was like no event she had been a part of. “We know that college aspirations start very early, and it’s too late when they’re getting to high school to start thinking about that. The earlier, the better, so this is a great example of that idea,” said Lubbers. “In terms of actually making the effort to invest early in a child’s possibility of going to college, I do think that this proposal is a unique one.” Following the big walk, the first group of students headed for the busses to return to school, while the second

group stayed to experience the educational stations. Many Wabash County students arrived at this year’s event full of excitement, remembering the fun they had at last year’s event. “They knew what they were heading into,” said Kugler. “They knew they were going to experience some really cool things.” That excitement seemed to rub off on Whitley County students, who experienced the event for the first time. After the success of the Wabash County Promise last year, neighboring counties wanted to try it out for themselves, and this was one example of the partnership arising not only within communities, but also between communities. “It demonstrated that Wabash County has the ability to help influence and support

and impact communities outside of our own,” said Kugler. “We really served as a mentor to help guide the activation of this work in their county, and so to be able to have them be a part of it really helped us learn how we can improve and refine this win-win situation.” The Wabash County Promise and the Commission for Higher Education share the common goal of preparing students academically and financially for education after high school. “We don’t advocate a four-year degree for everybody,” said Lubbers. “We need more people who get four-year degrees, but were talking about quality degrees and credentials beyond high school, and that can include one-year certificates that you get at Ivy Tech, workforce credentials, associate degrees, bachelor degrees, and beyond.” The 529 College Choice savings plans help with the financial part, and the college-student-led stations help to get the elementary school students excited to succeed academically. The most important part of the event, however, is to plant a seed and develop a college and career identity in the minds of young students.

“The fact that they’re thinking about education beyond high school, and so are their friends and their peers, it becomes more of an expectation than an exception,” said Lubbers. “I would assume that many of the students who were there that day…might be the first generation in their family (to attend college) and so for them to think about that, and be encouraged by being on a college campus, and kind of feeling that excitement, it’s especially important for a first

generation college student.” The kids had a fantastic college experience,” said Kugler. “The first time we did it, we knew it was a very special event, and I think we took all the things that were factors in making it a great event and we maintained or enhanced those. It was just an overall amazing day.” For more on the Wabash County Promise and Walk Into My Future, check for a special section in next week’s edition of The Paper.

City Council Member Scott Long announces run for mayor plans to run for mayor from the ladies at her beauty shop. “The lady who told me said if he did, she’d vote for him, and my beautician said she would too,” said Annabelle. The location Long selected to make the announcement, the deck near the river at Paradise Spring Historical Park, had special significance for Long. “Number one, this is the location that I married my wife a little over 13 years ago. Without her, I wouldn’t be the man I am today,” said Long. “Secondly, during my term on city council, this is one of the many areas that we have expanded and improved to serve all the citizens of Wabash, and I want to continue to expand areas of the city for the benefit of all citizens.” One improvement Long hopes to make will fix a problem with the city’s sewer system. “One of the bigger

issues that we need to continue on is the mandated separation of storm and sanitary sewers,” said Long. “That’s a federal mandate that if we don’t do it, were going to get fined, and that’s going to take some time to complete.” In addition to this, the incoming mayor will be met with exciting Stellar projects in progress. “With the Stellar designation, we have nine projects in place that are ultimately the responsibility of the mayor,” said Long. “Fortunately, the Stellar committee has put good people in charge of these projects, and we’ve got our consultants set up, our grant administrator is set up, so that’s going to make it easy for whoever would come into office.” If it’s Long that takes office, he hopes to get help from one extra hand as well. “I reached out to M a y o r Vanlandingham and advised him before he

made his decision not to run that the timing was right for me, I was ready to run, and if he didn’t run, I definitely wanted him to be an ambassador or liaison to the Stellar program since he’s brought it this far.” In addition to reaching out to the previous mayor for support, Long hopes to engage the city’s young people. “We’ve got a tremendous amount of young talent throughout this city,” said Long. “I think what I’d like to interject is some youth and enthusiasm, and I want to try to get the young business professionals in the community involved with City Hall. One way he plans to do this is by reaching out to students. “I’ve often thought about getting into the classrooms and having a junior city council if I were ever elected mayor, because these young kids, 16, 17, 18-year-olds, they’ve got a lot of ideas too that…would

give us something to think about, that we could possibly implement and get them involved,” said Long. “If we don’t get them involved, who knows what direction they’re going to go once they graduate. If we get them involved in high school and they become involved in the city, then hopefully, that will encourage them to come back and get involved once they go to college and graduate.” After seven years in the United States Army and half a decade in the private sector, Long joined the Wabash Police Department in 1994. Five years later, he was elected to city council, on which he has served for 15 years, but this is the last term Long will be able to serve the city in these two capacities at the same time. “There was a new state law that was established, and I was grandfathered in, because I was already on the ballot last time,” said Long. “As

an employee of the municipality, you cannot serve an elected office of your employer.” This left Long with a few options: he could walk away from the council, or he could leave his job with the police department. Long decided to create a third option and run for mayor. The city has seen three mayors since Long was first elected to the council, and Long hopes to use what he’s learned from each. “I think, on a local level, I’m a firm believer that political party really goes out the window,” said Long. “We’ve got to work together. Whether you’re a democrat, republican, independent, libertarian – whatever it may be – if you can’t work together with each other, you’re not going to get anything done. I’ve been fortunate enough to have city council members that are democrats over the years…and we all get along

great.” He also hopes to use social media to better inform the public and engage the city’s young people. “If you realize how many people are on Twitter and Facebook, if you’ve got an announcement to be made in the city, the best way to get the word out there is through social media,” said Long. “I don’t think that’s being done.” Long has yet to select a campaign chairman or treasurer. When Mayor Va n l a n d i n g h a m announced that he was not seeking reelection, he noted that the race for mayor could be tight. Though Long does not yet know who he’ll be running against in the primary or general election, he’s looking for a clean race, after which the candi-

dates can remain friends. “The foundation for moving forward…has been established through a comprehensive plan that has received a boost recently when Wabash was designated a Stellar Community,” Long said has he closed his speech. “The future is bright for our community, and I want to lead the community into the future. The spirit of cooperation that is in place needs to be continued, and being a part of building that cooperation during the last 15-plus years as a city council member drives me to seek the office of mayor. I look forward to the upcoming campaign and believe, with the support of my family, friends and colleagues, I will ultimately be successful.”

Life Center hosts annual banquet with Rebecca Kiessling

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com The Life Center held their annual banquet on Tuesday, Sept. 16 with guest speaker Rebecca Kiessling sharing her story, “Conceived in Rape: From Worthless to Priceless.” Many community members were on hand to support the Life Center and learn how the year has gone and what to expect in the coming year. With Wabash County Chamber of Commerce President, Kim Pinkerton, as emcee, the banquet began with dinner and opening remarks from Pastor Tim Morbitzer. “The days in which we live are filled with many uncertainties,” said Morbitzer. “The continued war on terror has been renewed in our nation’s con-

science. Before our eyes is the high price of war, and a heightened desire for peace. Yet, despite these valid concerns, we have an unnoticed war right before our very eyes, within our own borders, and often within our own hometowns. This war has claimed over 56 million American lives in the last 41 years. This war strikes at the very core of humanity and at the very heart of God.” “Abortion is never simply a ‘choice.’ God has uniquely crafted his creation, a creation which comes into existence at conception. One of the first instincts of human nature is the preservation of life. By terminating a pregnancy, the beating heart of a growing human being stops, her life no longer existing. This

is a direct contradiction to preserving human life,” he continued. Morbitzer went on to question how the ‘right to life’ is terminated legally when so many of the arguments today are about people’s rights. “Pope Francis is quoted as saying, “The right to life is the first among human rights,” added Morbitzer. After Morbitzer’s opening remarks and dinner, Executive Director of the Life Center Cheryl Meyer updated those in attendance about the Life Center’s year and the expenses of the center. “The cost per client is $167 with an ultra sound. From October of 2013 until current, we have had 139 tests and 79 ultra sounds,” said Meyer. The Life Center is in the midst of rais-

ing funds for a new building. The center is in need of a new building, because they are simply outgrowing their current location. Currently, they have one room, which is used for both ultra sounds and consulting. “We would love to have a room just for the ultra sound and another for consulting/earn while you learn classes,” continued Meyer. The center hopes to expand their clothing room when they move to a new location and be able to offer not only baby clothes, but also clothes for older children and maternity clothes as well, and include larger baby items like strollers and high chairs. Following the Life Center’s update, Kim Pinkerton introduced the speaker for the evening, Rebecca Kiessling. Kiessling is a family law attorney,

who was adopted at birth, and is now the mother of five children, but her life hung in the balance before she even took her first breath in the world. “At 18, I learned that I was conceived out of a brutal rape at knife-point by a serial rapist. I’d never considered that abortion applied to my life, but once I received this information, all of a sudden I realized that, not only does it apply to my life, but it has to do with my very existence,” Kiessling explained. Kiessling went on to explain that she found and met her mother, and that her mother revealed that she would have chosen abortion after being raped and getting pregnant had abortion been legal at the time. For a long time, Kiessling not only wrestled with the idea

that her mother would have aborted her, but that so many people want to make rape exceptions when it comes to abortion, and that when the rape exception continues to exist, people like herself wouldn’t have a chance to exist. “I felt like I was now going to have to justify my own existence, that I would have to prove myself to the world that I shouldn’t have been aborted and that I was worthy of living. I also remember feeling like garbage, because of people who would say

that my life was like garbage, that I was disposable.” Kiessling has been living her life, trying to put a face to the issue of rape exceptions when it comes to abortion. Kiessling does not believe her survival has anything to do with luck, as so many people she encounters believes. She knows her life has to do with the choices that were made by people who fought to ensure that abortion was illegal in Michigan at the time, even in the cases of (continued on page 12)

Life Center hosts annual banquet with Rebecca Kiessling... continued from page 9 rape. “I wasn’t lucky. I

was protected,” continued Kiessling.

Kiessling ended her story with the mes-

Rosemary Ege-Flenner to celebrate 80th birthday

sage of her salvation. “One of the greatest things I’ve learned is that the rapist is not my creator, as some people would have me believe. My value and identity are not established as a ‘product of rape,’ but as a child of God. Psalm 68:5-6 declares: ‘A father to the fatherless… is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families.’

THE CHILDREN OF ROSEMARY Ege-Flenner are planning an open house in honor of her 80th birthday, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 2-4 p.m. at the Blocher room, North Manchester Public Library, in North Manchester. Please RSVP 260-982-2964 or e m a i l sheilazcm@cinergymetro.net if you plan to attend. No gifts, please. (photo provided)

And Psalm 27:10 tells us, ‘Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.’ I know that there is no stigma in being adopted. We are told in the New Testament that it is in the spirit of adoption that we are called to be God’s children through Christ our Lord. So he must have thought pretty highly of adoption to

use that as a picture of his love for us.” The Life Center will be joining the 27th National Life Chain on Sunday, Oct. 5 from 2-3:30 p.m. and is inviting the community to do the same. The Wabash County Life Chain will take place starting at the Lighthouse Mission parking lot. In the National Life Chain, people stand

with thousands of pro-lifers throughout the United States. Donations will be accepted to cover the cost of the Life Chain. Life Chain is a peaceful, prayerful public witness of pro-life Americans, standing in honor of 56 million lives lost to abortion, praying for the nation, for people in crisis situations, and for an end to abortion.

Community breakfast at Congregational Christian Church The North M a n c h e s t e r Congregational Christian Church invites you to join them on Saturday, Oct. 4 for an All-YouCan-Eat Breakfast

from 7-10 a.m. A freewill donation for your meal is asked. Waitresses will serve biscuits & gravy, eggs to order, bacon, sausage, French toast, pan-

cakes, pan-fried potatoes, toast, fruit & beverages. T h e Congregational Christian Church is located at 310 N. Walnut Street,

North Manchester. Contact the church at 260-982-2882 or on the web at www.brightlightccc.org for more information about the church.

California fugitive arrested during home invasion A parole violator from the State of California was arrested during a residential burglary in rural Wabash County on Saturday, Sept. 20. At approximately 4:04 a.m., a 911 call was received and the caller reported that his neighbor’s residence was being burglarized. Officers from the Wabash County S h e r i f f ’ s Department responded. Upon arrival, officers located a broken

window at the rear of residence. The suspect, Jeremiah J. Price, 33, was taken into custody without incident, as he exited the front door of the residence. Price had been a fugitive from California since May 2014, at which time a parole violation was filed in San Diego. Price was on parole in California on a first-degree burglary charge. Local agencies had been notified that Price may

be in the Wabash area. Price is being held in the Wabash County Jail on a preliminary charge of burglary and theft, pending review from the Wabash County Prosecutor’s Office. No bond has been set. This case was investigated by Deputy Corbin Dawes, Deputy Matt Cox and Major Randy Miller.

A couple of weeks ago, my husband, Dave, and I participated in the Dam to Dam cycling ride. It was a 64-mile bicycle ride around Wabash County touring the Salamonie and Mississinewa reservoirs with several sag stops at different points of interest. It was a nice change of pace to just relax and enjoy the beauty of ANGIE BAER Wabash County. I can’t think of anyone who I’d rather peddle around the county with than him. I have tweaked this recipe for Italian Bean Soup just a tad bit, making it a thick, hearty soup. The perfect soup to kick off the fall season.

Apaches fall victim To Valley by Gary Andrews Fresh off their win over North Miami last week, the Wabash football team was looking for a second victory in a row Friday over Tippecanoe Valley with things looking good for a half before the Vikings took advantage of some costly Apache mistakes and penalties to out score Wabash 15-0 in the second half to defeat the Apaches 3120. The Apaches were forced to punt on their first offensive series and the Vikings responded with a 15play scoring drive that consumed a majority of the quarter to lead Wabash 8-0 after a two point conversion. On the ensuing kick off, Ben Dillon would field the kick and race down the left sideline 65 yards to pay dirt,

drawing the Apaches to within one at 8-7 after the Owen Yeadon kick. Valley would strike first in the second quarter with 5:17 left to take a 16-7 lead after two, but again the Apaches wasted no time closing the gap. On their second play after the Valley score Chase Dirig found Trevor Vest cutting across the middle, connecting on a 43-yard scoring strike to make it 16-14 with 4:15 to play. The Wabash defense would hold Valley and give the Apache offense one more shot before the half after a Levi Robinson interception. Wabash had the ball on the Valley 40 and eventually had to try a 46-yard field goal with 7.3 on the clock that fell short with Valley leading 16-14 at the half. Valley would own

First half explosion lifts Knights over North Miami by Gary Andrews There was a major explosion at Southwood Friday night in the first half and it was called the Knight offense. Southwood erupted for 35 first half points to lead 35-7 then held on for dear life to defeat North Miami 42-27. The Knight defense

set the tone right off the bat, holding North Miami on their first possession to set the offense up for their first strike. With 8:09 on the clock, Robbie Cole found Andrew Finicle from 19 yards out to give Southwood a 7-0 lead. Two and a half minutes later, Cole connected with Danny Goff for a 40-

yard scoring strike as the Knights led 14-0 with North Miami driving when the quarter ended. North Miami would score on the first play of the second quarter, but that would be the end of the Warrior scoring in the first half as the Knight defense shut them down while the

offense went off. Cole would throw his third touchdown of the game when he found John Berlier open with Berlier racing 71 yards for a score and a 21-7 Southwood lead. The Knights would then surprise everyone with an onside kick that was recovered by Austin Schlemmer. Cole

wasted no time, connecting with Goff for a second time for a score, this time from 30 yards out to lead 287. With the air attack clicking on all cylinders the Knights would get their next score on a Nathan Hollars run and open a 35-7 lead with 8:00 left in the half. North (continued on page 20)

by Bill Barrows I have never seen a baseball game live at Yankee Stadium, but I have watched probably a thousand plus games from that venue via TV over the years. My alltime favorite baseball player has always been Mickey Mantle, a flawed, yet talented hero who played during the golden era of baseball. There are few individual players who truly set an example of what a player with God given talent for excellence within the game, also is a “Hall of Fame” person. I’m sure there are others, but I can think of four who stand out to me. One, Harmon Killebrew, a huge, quiet slugger who played in Minnesota, which is not a big media market, where national games are the norm. Tony Gwynn, who played in San Diego and was a mark of consistency as a hitter as well as a human being. The third, Stan “The Man” Musial, who played for the St.

Louis Cardinals and was eulogized by Bob Costas at his funeral with these words “Stan Musial finished life as the all-time leader in kindness.” The fourth is Derek Jeter. Jeter has played for the New York Yankees for 20 seasons. He has been a model of consistency and his physical and mental toughness are legendary. He is arguably one of the top 10 all time best Yankee players ever. His accomplishments on the field are much too numerous to mention here. His number 2 Yankee jersey is the all time top seller in history. So talent and popularity are not at issue here. What I want to bring to light is how this man carries himself and the example on and off the field that this man sets for all to see. He is a multimillionaire, so he can pretty much act any way he desires, as so many others do. But he chooses to (continued on page 20)

THE ROANN FESTIVAL BOARD and committees feel that we had another successful festival. The first couple of nights started out a little slow, due to hot weather and Friday’s storm, but we had a great turn out for Saturday.

First half explosion lifts Knights over North Miami... continued from page 19 Miami would get the final score of the half with 4:06 left on a 35-yard run as the Knights took a 35-14 lead to the locker room. With the Knights being red hot in the first half, the fuse burned out in the third quarter. Midway through the quarter Southwood would drive to the North Miami 5 yard line looking to increase their lead before giving up the ball on downs. North Miami would take advantage, scoring on an 88-yard run with 4:52 left to cut the Knight lead to 35-21. On Southwood’s next possession the Warriors would pick off Robbie Cole on the Knight 20, scoring again with .57 remaining in the quarter to

make it 35-27 after three. The fourth quarter was one that couldn’t go fast enough for Knight fans. With 6:44 left in the game the Southwood defense rose to the occasion one more time, stopping the Warriors on downs at the 49. The Knights were driving when Cole took a shot to the end zone that was picked off, giving North Miami the ball on the 20. As big as the defense had played the entire game, the play of the game came with 1:11 on the clock when Austin Schlemmer picked off a Warrior pass, running it back 44 yards for a score that sealed the 42-27 win. Robbie Cole was 11 of 21 for 249 yards and

four touchdowns. Nathan Hollars rushed 17 times for 94 yards and one touchdown. Robbie Cole added 12 for 37 yards. Jon Berlier added 3 for 15 yards, with Noah Kirk 1 for 5 yards. Danny Goff had 5 receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns. Andrew Finicle added 3 for 38 yards and one touchdown, with Jon Berlier 2 for 78 yards and one touchdown and Nathan Hollars 1 for 14 yards. Nick Rebholz led the defense with 17 tackles. Johnny Jones, Luke Perlich and Tristyn Howell added 10 tackles each. Austin Schlemmer had an interception for a touchdown.

The ideal example for all of us to see... continued from page 19 handle himself in positive classic style. His uniform is not the current baggy trend. No “bling” added and wears his Yankee cap in a traditional manner, no bill to the side for Jeter. Not only has he been a clutch play-

er over the years, but he looks the part. No controversial interviews or embarrassing videos for this guy. The tabloids have tried, but have failed miserably. No one is a perfect player, or person, but

Leonard & Jean Good want to thank all their family, friends, and neighbors for coming and making our 50th anniversary a very special day. A special thanks to John & Kim Fitzgerald for the video and music he played. Also, to Elsie French & Debbie Young for all their help in the kitchen. God has truly blessed us. May God bless you all. Leonard & Jean Good

this man handles himself extremely well. His maturity has always been measured as well beyond his years. This is the poster child for being the guy to marry your daughter! If you are starting a team, this is the guy you want to build it around. But think about this—-Jeter, with respect to the others mentioned above, is the perfect example of

a celebrity that you should want you children to emulate. Longtime Yankee manager Joe Torre always relishes his time coaching Jeter because he never had to worry about him. His work ethic is unmatched. In this era of sensationalizing negative news and individual promotion, you find few athletes like Derek Jeter. As a Little League

aged player, he made a pact with his parents. He signed a contract with them that he would play hard, never quit, not embarrass himself with weak character issues or embarrass his family in any way. As a 40 year old adult, he still lives by that mantra. The lessons Jeter teaches everyday by simply being himself are out there for all to see. And you don’t have to be an athlete to learn from him. This man understands respect. He has called Joe Torre, Mr. Torre or Mr. T his

entire career. He has played in more than 2900 major league games and batted 11,188 times. He has NEVER been ejected from a game. From Little League player to MLB superstar, Jeter has been a gentleman off of the field, and a smart, respectful competitor on it. He has played clean in the steroid era and shown two qualities that stand out for all to see—— poise and grace. He never draws attention to himself, but few can watch his team play, without being

drawn to the way he carries himself. And that’s the way we should all want to be known for in our lives. In baseball terms, here is the reality of life: A guy’s dream ends with him hitting a home run off of a light pole and then walking off with the beautiful girl. Where in reality, his dream often ends with a ground ball to shortstop. And in classic Jeter fashion, in what was his next to last at bat in Yankee Stadium, he did just that, a ground ball to shortstop that produced a run that gave his team the lead. Incidentally, if you haven’t heard by now, after it was tied up, Jeter finished the game and his Yankee Stadium career with an RBI single to right field. Mr. Clutch ended it with class again.

Market Street welcomes new businesses and living space

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com Sept. 25 marked the grand opening of two new businesses, Bash Boutique and Lost Treasures in Tyme, along with a commercial space that is available for lease and apartment lofts that are also available for rent. Building owner, Lisa Gilman, R e d e m p t i o n Development, LLC, set a goal for herself to renovate these Market Street buildings, bringing back the “old world flavor” they had in the 1870s. With the commercial space still available, she is looking for someone to make the space their own. “It’s up to whoever wants to lease this space to turn it into whatever they want to see here,” Gilman told The Paper at the Sept. 25 grand opening celebration. Gilman purchased the buildings in June 2012. “My goal was to take a couple very distressed buildings on Market Street and turn them into a showcase. We started construction in March 2013 and we finished just recently. These spaces are wonderful,” added Gilman. The current commercial space available for lease is located at 45 West Market Street, and interested patrons can contact Gilman at 574-2984312. Located at 47 West Market Street, you will find Lost Treasures in Tyme,

owned by Lori Thornton. Thornton decided to open this new shop after deciding on a new career path last summer. “I had some time off, and I started exploring the neighboring towns. I liked what Wabash was doing with their downtown. I needed to be a part of it,” Thornton told The Paper. With 28 years of corporate retail experience under her belt, Thornton has knowledge of how the retail business works, but brings a new vibe to

downtown Wabash with her mix of inventory ranging from chocolates to curtains and purses to primitive décor. “I’m trying to carry a lot of everything and switch it up so I’m not always carrying the same merchandise.” Thornton fell in love with the space, just like Gilman had. “I saw this building was under construction. Lisa showed me the space and I called her back two weeks later and it was mine. I waited six months for them to finish, but

it was worth the wait,” added Thornton. Two more business owners fell in love with Gilman’s buildings. Kenn Diko and Amber Noone are the owners of Bash Boutique. Diko and Noone fell in love with the space and signed their lease in 15 minutes. “One year ago, we were driving through town and thought, ‘This place is cool. Maybe we should open a business here.’ A year later, July 23, we saw that space (continued on page 25)

A Stellar Community: Trail Project Editor’s Note: This is the fourth in a series of nine articles outlining each of the proposed projects included in this year’s Stellar Communities application.

Riverwalk Trail, increasing accessibility, recreational opportunity, and connecting residents to the city’s heritage. With the help of the Stellar Communities designation, the city hopes to extend the current trail west to Charley Creek and north to City Park, completing a five-mile trail loop around downtown. This project is only the most recent in a long history of trail projects dating back nearly two decades. “The whole trail system in Wabash

Superintendent Todd Titus. Two years later, the city received another grant to complete the trail at Paradise Spring. In 2005, the city developed a master plan for the trail network, and in 2006, it received a grant to build a trail from the park along the river to the Smith Street Boat Ramp, creating what people now know as the Riverwalk Trail. “We’ve been working on the trail system for a long time. The park board, a few years back, had a master plan, and those things were all in it. We built the cultural trail on our own several years ago,” said M a y o r Vanlandingham. The cultural trail consisted of major improvements to the sidewalks connecting The Honeywell Center to City Park and back east along Hill Street, toward the

library, and back to Paradise Spring Historical Park. Bronze medallion sidewalk inlays direct users along its path. “We’re just connecting them now. I think it will be an asset to this community,” said Vanlandingham. “You stop and think where you can take it: The Honeywell Center, library, hotel, museum, downtown, Paradise Spring – there’s a lot of connections there that people can do and go to.“ In addition to these attractions, the trail will also provide easy access to the senior center, The Dr. James Ford Historic Home, several churches, the courthouse, dozens of businesses, the YMCA, and the skate park. It will also connect to the inclusive playground next to the skate park and the outdoor amphitheater at Paradise Spring,

both of which are separate Stellar projects. Based on the current trail traffic, the extension will be well received. “It’s very well used and we get a lot of positive feedback from a lot of people,” said Titus. “The reaction, really from the first trail back in 1998 up until all the other phases that we’ve gone through, is that people really appreciate them and enjoy using them.” As part of the 2005 master plan, two routes between the Smith Street Boat Ramp and City Park were identified. The first would travel along the river for three quarters of a mile to Charley Creek, turning and continuing north along the creek to City Park. An alternative route would go half the distance along the river before turning north and

taking a giant, halfmile curve to the west before connecting with Lockerbie Street near Charley Creek. “One of those routes will be chosen, or a combination of the two routes. That’s just a concept…the actual route has not been determined yet,” said Titus. “I think we probably want to provide an interesting trail, but we also want to try to utilize whatever public right-ofway is available. That simplifies the project and makes it more cost effective if you don’t have to purchase property, and of course, the overall cost of getting from point A to point B will be a factor. Those three things play into it.” When it comes to cost, adding nearly 1.5 miles to the existing trail network is a big project. At more than $3.8 million, it is the third-largest Stellar project. This money will be split between design, construction, and land acquisition. Local funds make up 20 percent of the project, totaling $618,390. With $150,000 identified from other sources, the total gap request is $3,097,500. The design phase is currently schedule to last through June 2017, when the yearlong construction phase will begin.

A Stellar Community: Trail Project...continued from page 22 extension is key in completing a safe, multi-use pathway through the city. In addition to being a fitness asset, the trail will give kids a way to cross town while avoiding increasingly busy streets. “Trails are something that can be used by people of all ages and all abilities,” said Titus. “You can do a number of different activities; you can walk, you can run, you can bike, you can skate.” In addition to making it safer for children, the trail will make getting around easier for the city’s aging residents as well. “If we get the Rock City Lofts down here, just think where they can go on this trail,” said Vanlandingham.

A CONCEPT DRAWING (right) shows what the connection between the current Riverwalk Trail and the proposed extension will look like compared to a photo of the area now (left). (images provided) Rock City Lofts, one of the nine Stellar projects, will result in dozens of new apartments in the old building on Market Street across from the museum. The project focuses on helping senior citizens age in place, and the dwellings will

come with an age requirement. Vanlandingham sees the trail as one way to increase these future residents’ freedom and mobility. “The sidewalks are handicap accessible. It gives a chance for seniors to get out and

go as far as [they] want to go,” said Vanlandingham. “You can take a short loop or a bigger loop or what have you. It connects a lot of your amenities.” And by connecting amenities, the Trail Project works to tie

the best parts of the city, and many of the other Stellar projects, together. It will invite visitors to take a stroll and discover more of Wabash. “Recently, a trail user said to me, ‘I think the trail system is one of the best

things Wabash ever did,’” Titus shared during the Stellar presentation earlier this year. “There are a lot of people who agree, and we’d like to see it keep going.” “I think it’s a part of a system where, you can walk it, ride your

Norse score early fall to Wildcats SCOREBOARD by Gary Andrews The Northfield football team grabbed a quick lead and led 7-6 at the half over Whitko Friday before a second half rally by the Wildcats gave Whitko a 27-7 win over the Norse.

The Norse grabbed a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a Carter Frieden one-yard run to lead 7-0 and held Whitko scoreless in the first quarter. In a game that was a stale mate for nearly two quarters, the

Wildcats scored with 59 seconds left in the first half and with the extra point failing the Norse led 7-6 at the half. With the Norse offense puttering in the second half, Whitko would score

twice in the third quarter and once in the fourth to defeat the Norse 27-7. Carter Frieden was 6 of 13 for 85 yards. Josh Bickel rushed 16 times for 55 yards and was the only Norsemen to have

positive rushing yardage. Frieden had one rushing touching Jarred Short, Dylin Brown, Bryce Kendall and Ryan Driscoll each had one catch.

Dale sets two school records at Regional by Gary Andrews The Lady Knight Linksters finished 11th place at the IHSAA Regional at Cobblestone Golf Club Saturday with another new school record 18hole score of 358. Leo won with a score of

336. Bishop Dwenger was second while Wawasee nabbed the final spot to the State Meet. Sophomore Dayna Dale led the Knights with a new school record score of 77 that included another new

school record score of 37 on the front nine. Abby Houlihan and Danielle Pegg each shot 92 while Danielle Sparling added a 97. Paige Dempsey shot 103. Dayna’s score of 77 put her in a three way

tie for the fifth and final spot for advancement to the state meet in Carmel next weekend. So, after a few tense moments, a three-way playoff ensued. Unfortunately, Dayna was eliminated on the first playoff

hole when her par putt slid by the edge of the hole. The Knights finished the season with an overall team record of 64-17 that included a perfect 19-0 record in dual/triangular meets.

Chairs of Hope Auction to benefit Wabash County Cancer Society By Shaun Tilghman On Saturday, Oct. 11th, several works of art will be auctioned during the Harvest Festival in North Manchester, with all proceeds benefitting the Wabash County Cancer Society. According to North M a n c h e s t e r Congregational Christian Church Pastor Sebrena Cline, the local Chairs of Hope project got its start last year during preparation for the Relay For Life North Manchester event. One of the Relay teams was trying to find projects that could be done to raise funds and Cline had read about Chairs of Hope online. “This is not an original idea by any means, but it just seemed like it would work in our community so I guess we’ll see how it turns out,” said Cline. “It is a program that is done nationally, and I believe Wabash even has one,” she continued. “We thought it would be something fun to do, plus I wanted to engage the junior high students in the project because I thought that would help rally the community. “We ended up raising enough money to meet our goals for Relay For Life, so at that point we kind of shifted over to Wabash County Cancer Society because they provide funds for transportation, medicine, etc. for individuals living in our county. We wanted to support the American Cancer Society, but this was another group working

on the cancer front and we wanted to support them as well. “From my perspective, the Wabash County Cancer Society is kind of a quiet group, and I just want people to know they’re there and I want people that are facing these types of things to be aware of the services they provide. So, we decided we would use the Chairs of Hope project for that.” Once they had determined who they wanted to benefit from the project, Cline said they contacted Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School art teacher Hannah Burnworth to see if she could work the project into her spring lesson plan. “She had somewhere around 38 seventhgrade students available for the project, but I was only able to come up with 13 chairs, so they worked in groups of two or three to come up with their creations,” Cline explained. “Hannah and I worked together on a theme, which ended up being ‘Hope Takes Flight’, and that was really the only criteria we gave the kids. Some of them really played on that theme and some kind of took it off in another direction, which was fine too, but the main idea was that hope is uplifting. “For me, it was really neat to involve the students because so often we think of cancer in terms of adults, but we’re learning there are more and more children that suffer from it also, as well as those kids that are affected by the struggle

or even death of a loved one from cancer. So, we wanted to include them and we thought it would be really cool to get their perspective on the fight against cancer. They just had to work with the supplies we had, and some of the chairs had to be repaired, but they did a good job with what we gave them – there are some really neat ideas in the chairs they created.” Cline went on to say that the project ended up turning into more of a group effort, as both younger children and older adults took part in other aspects of the process to complete the chairs. “We got the chairs back at the end of the school year, and our Vacation Bible School students did the poly on all the chairs to get them ready,” she said. “Then, we had a couple of ladies that came together and fixed the seats that needed to be repaired. Basically, everybody has been putting a little bit of this and a little bit of that into the project. “We’ll be displaying the chairs around downtown North Manchester for a couple weeks, and then we’re going to have a public auction during the Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 11th. Originally, we were going to have a silent auction, but Larry Miller is going to donate his services as our auctioneer. So, we’re going to start around noon that day and we will auction off all 13 chairs, with all of the proceeds going to the Wabash County Cancer Society.”

They scrounged up the paint from several different places and a lot of the chairs were either donated or had been discarded, according to Cline, so they will be able to donate all of the money raised from the auction. “I love the idea of a chair because I imagine people that are in the struggle against cancer just needing a place to stop and rest some times,” explained Cline. “So, chairs appeal to me for that reason, but I also love the idea of redeeming these things that were considered not needed by someone else. And I loved the idea of getting the kids involved because it was something they could be creative with that was a little out of the norm; plus, I just so badly wanted their energy in the effort – the students showed some really neat thoughts with their chairs.” Each chair has a title and most of them have some sort of dedication or a person who is honored, including: -Title: Dandy Days; Description: Light green with dandelions and ladybugs; Artists: Emma West, Kennedy Fierstos, & Carsyn Howard; Inspiration: Dandelions are light and airy and take flight; In Honor of Becky Fields and Jolene Hensley. -Title: Fly Away Chair; Description: Small purple bench; Artists: Jaelyn Webb & Brylee Kerr; Inspiration: Everyone deserves to fly away when they are ready, some just fly away early; In Honor of Jaelyn’s great-grand-

Market Street welcomes new businesses and living space... continued from page 21 back there; we met Lisa Gilman, and in 15 minutes, we had signed the lease on July 23, of this year, with our grand opening on Sept. 25,” Diko explained. “You can call it a cosmic vortex. You can call it providence, which is God. You can call it serendipitous. Something happened and the result was, parenthetically, we met dozens and

dozens of talented people.” Bash Boutique offers women’s apparel, jewelry and gift items. It’s a place that offers a shopping experience you would normally drive the 140 miles to Indianapolis and back to find, according to Diko. “140 miles to Indianapolis – that’s stupid. You have to buy lunch; you’ve got

the gas, and you’ve got the travel, the time, and the effort. You don’t have to deal with that. Keep the money in Wabash County,” Diko told The Paper. “We visited maybe 50 boutiques and were not satisfied. It made us wonder if we could do it. You want to be challenged in your life, so decide in July you want to open a boutique in September

and not have any prior experience,” added Diko. Bash Boutique isn’t only looking to offer a big city shopping experience in Wabash County, but it wants to bring a high quality product and big heart to the community. “We want to bring quality and a big heart, because we serve people. We’re big hearted people, but we’ve found a lot of kindred spirits here too. We want to bring something people would ordinarily commute 140 freaking miles to buy,” said Diko. One thing that seems to resonate from the owners of the new Market Street businesses is bringing something new and special to Wabash to continue the great growth this city has been seeing in the past few years, continuously drawing in tourists and new community members.

“It’s about the community,” said Diko. “It’s about Wabash County.”

Library hosting free computer classes The Wabash Carnegie Public Library is hosting five free computer classes this fall. The classes will be led by David Fisher of the Learn More Center and Randy Ragan, former adjunct instructor at FSU Jacksonville and creator of Treasure Maps Genealogy. Each

class will be held on Saturday mornings in October and November in the library’s program room. *Oct. 11 at 10:30 a.m., David Fisher will present “Microsoft Word Basics.” This class will help students learn how to format text and paragraphs, insert images, and build an understanding about the different styles of documents. Microsoft

Word can be used to create letters, signs, flyers and much more. *Oct. 25 at 10:30 a.m., David Fisher will present “Microsoft Excel Basics.” Students will begin to explore Microsoft Excel in this class as they are introduced to spreadsheets, using mathematical formulas, managing columns and rows, and formatting options. Microsoft Excel allows users to create budgets, and other spreadsheets by manipulating data. *Nov. 1 at 10:30 a.m., David Fisher will present “Power Point Basics.” David will lead students in exploring Microsoft Power Point as they learn to design slides, insert pictures and clip art. Then, students will learn to manipulate slides to create effective slideshow presentations.

*Nov. 8 at 10:30 a.m., Randy Ragan will, once again, present the highly popular “Google Search Secrets Class.” Randy will teach participants how to be a Google Research Expert. By the end of the class students will easily combine key words with different “search operators” to find the needle in the haystack online, and maximize success with Google Search. He will demonstrate Google Alerts, which is like having online Research Assistants, who automatically do the work for you - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! *Nov. 15 at 10:30 a.m., Randy Ragan will answer any questions about the social media website, Facebook, with a “Facebook for Beginners” class. Participants will start at the beginning and learn how to set up an account, make posts, and post pictures. Then, Randy will be there to teach participants to be Facebook experts and answer any questions. There is no charge to attend any of the classes; however, due to limited computers each class will have a maximum of 8 students. All classes are open to people with any computer skill level; however; the ability to use a mouse is strongly encouraged. Anyone interested may register by calling the library at 263-2972 or stopping in at the 2nd floor Information Desk.

Eads thank community for support

Dear Editor, We would like to start by thanking our family and friends for putting together a fundraiser for our daughter Laynee’s medical expenses. Even though we have lived in Illinois for three years now, it is amazing the amount of people in Wabash and Wabash County who came out to help support this rummage and bake sale. To everyone who has helped prior to the sale with gas gift cards and other donations, we thank you so much as well. This is one of the many great reasons why living in a small-town has its benefits; everyone wants to help in some way or another. On Aug. 6, at three months of age, Laynee had surgery at St. Louis Children’s Hospital for Left C o r o n a l Craniosynostosis, which means the left suture in her head was fused at birth. If left untreated, it would have restricted her brain growth. The surgery consisted of a plastic surgeon and a neurosurgeon who removed a piece of bone the size of an adult finger from Laynee’s skull to allow for proper brain growth. She will be wearing her helmet until the age of one year to fifteen months and will go through up to four helmets. Again, thank you all so much, you will never know how much we truly appreciate your generosity.

Sincerely, Jason and Caley Eads

Ashley Breanne Williams, Wabash, is a 2009 graduate of Southwood High School. She is currently a CNA/HHA at Premier Home Health Care. Daniel Lee Hardcastle, Wabash, is a 2008 graduate of Oak Hill High School. He is currently employed as a welder with B. Walter Company. The couple plans to wed on Oct. 18 at 3:30 p.m. at the Church of the Brethren.

Congregational Christian plans block party, features BibleTelling The Congregational Christian Church invites its neighbors and friends to join them for a block party on Saturday, Oct. 4 from 4-6:30 p.m. All of the events will be held at the church, located at 310 N. Walnut Street. Games, food, straw maze, crafts and music will be a part of the activities planned to help the neighborhood get to know each other better. The event is being planned by the Young(er) Sunday School Class led by Dorey Mobley. The church welcomes all to join on Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m. for a traditional service, 9:45 a.m. for Sunday school, or 10:45 a.m. for a contemporary service. The church uses the art of BibleTelling to bring alive the stories of scripture and com-

pliment the sermon for the day. BibleTelling encourages the oral tradition of sharing scripture, passing along the stories of the Bible to the next generation. The goal is that the Story of God would become

as much a part of the lives of those who attend as their own family stories. Pastor J.P. Freeman leads the ministries in welcoming all to a place where they can get to know “The Story.”

Cavins to attend Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities

Out of approximately 85,000 high school juniors in the state, North Manchester’s Gabrielle Cavins was among the 180 admitted to the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities this fall. Established by the legislature in 1990, the Indiana Academy for S c i e n c e , Mathematics, and Humanities is the state’s two-year high school for high-ability juniors and seniors. These students join other gifted students from around Indiana who live and study in the school’s academically rich and challenging environment. Located on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, this highly specialized public school accepts applications from current Indiana high school sophomores. Admission is based on a number of factors including academic performance, essays, and teacher recommendations. Upon graduation in 2016, these students will be courted by some of the top colleges and universities in the country. Last year’s Indiana

Academy graduates cumulatively received in excess of $13.4 million in scholarship offers. While studying at the Indiana Academy, students have the opportunity to take numerous courses for college credit, and many graduate with over a year of college already done. Though the

Indiana Academy has only been in existence for 25 years, its alumni have already excelled in a wide array of fields. The list of graduates’ careers includes movie directors, Silicone Valley entrepreneurs, authors, test pilots, political leaders, physicians, scientists, engineers and teachers.

Local student named as a Commended Student Nancy Alspaugh, principal of Manchester Jr./Sr. High School announced recently that Zachary Shenefield has been named Commended Student in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit S c h o l a r s h i p Corporation, which conducts the pro-

gram, will be presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior. About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2015 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more

than 1.5 million students who entered the 2015 competition by taking the 2014 P r e l i m i n a r y SAT/National Merit S c h o l a r s h i p Qualifying Test. “The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” a spokesperson for NMSC said. “These students represent a

valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”

Missionary Sean House returns for visit

The North M a n c h e s t e r Congregational Christian Church will host missionary Sean House during their services on Sunday, Oct. 5. Services will be held at 8:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. with a time of hospitality and fellowship between services hosted by the Missions Ministry. A love offering will be received at the end of each service, which will be used to support Sean’s ministry. The church is located at 310 N. Walnut Street, North Manchester. Sean D. House has lived and worked in India for over 18 years. He and his wife, Lydia, have a vision to release the life-changing knowledge of Jesus Christ in India through the training and sending of national harvest workers. Staying in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, their principal work has been helping national leaders to develop and administer a Bible college for the training of young men and women as pastors, church planters, teachers, and social workers. Every year they train and send out dozens of students representing many different ethno-linguistic groups of India. Their goal is to raise up Christian leaders who will build healthy, vibrant churches that empower their congregations to reach out in the power of the Spirit to the unreached who sur-

round them. In this way, this land of over one billion people can be transformed by the love of God in Christ. Sean and Lydia have two children, Katie, 8, and Matthew, 7. Sean has ties to North Manchester with family member Sonny Houser living in the area. For more information about the Congregational Christian Church or Sean House, contact us at 260-982-2882 or e m a i l connections@brightlightccc.org.
