Roann officials dedicate new downtown mural

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

ROANN – A mural painted on the side of the Roann Community Building was dedicated during a brief ceremony on Saturday morning.

The mural – which features the Roann Covered Bridge and Stockdale Mill as if they were giant postcards – was made possible through the work of the Roann Heritage Group and through a grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs

(OCRA). It was painted

by Darcy Dyson, her family and their friends.

“We couldn’t ask for better weather and to be standing in front of a fantastic mural that we have here right now,” Jerry Nelson, Roann Heritage Group co-chair.

Jensen talked about the word dedicate, noting that it can be described as “setting a goal and making it happen.”

“Thanks to so many hard working people, businesses, finances, individuals that gave to our organization that helped us be able to be able to fund this,” he continued. “A special thank you to OCRA, who helped us walk through everything and be able to get a grant and work on it toward that grant and making it successful to that goal.”

In addition to the mural, OCRA also helped fund two new signs for the community.

“That has been a wonderful thing for us, and thank you very much for the opportunity to working with OCRA,” he added. “We’re looking forward to working again with OCRA in the future.”

Nelson introduced Dyson, noting, “I remember the first night when they started the project. It was like 10:30 at night, because the sun doesn’t go down early in the summer, and they’re projecting this thing on the wall.

“With long hours, and along with her crew, they spent a lot of time up here.”

Dyson thanked the community “for letting me have a giant art project in the middle of town. It was fun for me personally. I thought it was an honor to get to do it.”

OCRA’s interim director Matt Crouch was

Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

among the people attending the dedication.

He said the grant program through which the mural was paid came about because another agency under Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch’s control had about $16 million of unused funds that would have been returned to the state’s General Fund had a program to use the money to benefit communities was not developed.

“How do we activate a space and give it a sense of pride, as Darcy said,” he asked, “and really create a sense of community so that people will want to gather here and take pride in their community and really enjoy what it is that is so great about a place like Roann.”

During a pandemic, the interim director said, it’s always good to revert to the ABCs of community development – Always Be Celebrating.

“So taking time to celebrate what we’re doing, is hard for Hoosiers to do that,” he continued. “We’re always busy doing the hard work, rolling up our sleeves and knocking that out, then moving on to the next, rolling up our sleeves, knocking that out and moving on to the next, and on and on. So it’s good to take time to day to celebrate the vision, the planning of the place, the execution, the work of creating such a beautiful mural that is going to be a testament to Roann and everything we’re accomplishing.

Charges filed in boy’s death

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The father of 10year-old Kayden Sendelbach is now facing charges in connection with the boy’s death.

William Sendelbach is facing one count of murder for allegedly stabbing the boy during a domestic disturbance at the family’s East Maple Street home on Thursday, Oct. 8. He also is fac-

Wabash County Prosecutor William Hartley filed the charges Wednesday in Wabash Circuit Court. No bond has been set.

Police returned fire and struck the elder Sendelbach several times. He was taken to a Fort Wayne hospital where he is expected to recover from his injuries.

Kayden, a fourthgrade student at O.J.

Neighbours Elementary School in Wabash, died early Saturday morning, Oct. 10, at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

A Wabash Police Officer, Sgt. Nick Brubaker, was shot in the leg and treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Sendelbach also allegedly fired at a passing garbage truck, shooting out is window. The driver was uninjured.

Mural “Please continue to dream big and come up with the next ideas.”

Following the ceremony, Dyson told The Paper of Wabash County that the experience was “amazing.”

“I always wanted to do an outdoor mural, and that was kind of my dream. I’ve done a lot of indoor murals, which are cool. It’s a lot of fun when you drive by it every day in your town.”

She said she discussed with Heritage Group officials what the mural should depict.

“We wanted to do historic places in Roann,” she continued. “The reason we did it this way is because we could always add more postcards. We’ve got the Carnegie Library, we’ve got the caboose.

Hopefully we can

4 The Paper Nick’s Dog Cart adds catering service

of Wabash County

www.thepaperofwabash.com

By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com Nick Palmer, Wabash native and Wabash High School graduate, has become somewhat of a staple in Wabash County the past two years when it comes to food offerings at festivals, get-togethers and other events.

Palmer, who works full time at Ford Meter Box, was looking for something to fill his free time and after some thought, decided that starting a hot dog stand would be a great way to spend his time and make some extra money.

“I really didn’t

know what to expect but I had some friends and family who thought the idea would do well in Wabash, so I just kind of went with it,” said Palmer. “We learned things by messing up quite a bit, but I think we have progressed slowly since this thing started.”

Up until recently, Nick’s Dog Cart was mainly selling during downtown Wabash First Fridays, at Chapman’s Brewhouse and catering to parties and wedding receptions with his mobile cart.

A newer aspect to Palmer’s small business is Cartless Catering.

Although Cartless

Catering was created out of a scheduling conflict, it has been successful.

“I had a private party booked and also a prior personal commitment. I spoke with the folks that were hosting the party and thankfully they were willing to try out the catering,” Palmer told The Paper of Wabash County. “To all of our surprise it was a huge hit. It costs less than having the actual hotdog cart there and people enjoy making their own dogs in the privacy of their family and friends. It’s a great way to get the same exact product you receive on the cart with easy cleanup, because everything is disposable.”

Palmer also sees Cartless Catering as a way to serve his customers in a safe and more sanitary way to protect them from the chance of contracting and spreading COVID-19.

“I think during this

pandemic situation the food business has to evolve along with making things safer for people to still enjoy the food they want. Cartless Catering is a way to stay safe while still having a good time with family and friends,” he said.

Although “Dog Cart season” is coming to an end, Palmer encourages people to follow the cart’s Facebook page, Nick’s Dog Cart, to stay up to date on days, times, and locations of the dog cart being open for customers.

“I truly appreciate the Wabash community and surrounding county residents who have supported our vision, and all of the local business owners who have sponsored the cart or invited us to events they have held,” said Palmer.

“It’s been a truly humbling experience the past two years, and I am looking forward to many more.”

Rotary, UF plan alternative to golf outing Wabash Rotary Club continues its long tradition of supporting the Wabash County United Fund campaign. Although this year’s golf outing was canceled, Wabash Rotary will still be supporting United Fund.

“It was unfortunate that we are not able to have a golf outing this year, but we still recognize the increase of needs throughout the community during this time,” said Dr. Chris Kuhn, Rotary Club President. “We are asking community members that have or have not participated in the past, to donate or become a sponsor on behalf of the Wabash Rotary Club.

All proceeds will go to the United Fund.”

Community members can participate in one of two ways.

They can donate any amount to the Wabash Rotary Club or they can sponsor one of three levels toward our No Outing, Golf Outing: $100 Par Level: Recognized on Rotary and United Fund Facebook pages, and receive a business sponsor sign and one golf ball sleeve $250 Birdie Level: Recognized on Rotary and United Fund Facebook pages, and receive a business sponsor sign, two golf ball sleeves and twoperson round of golf with cart $500 Hole-in-one Level: Recognized on Rotary and United Fund Facebook pages, and receive a business sponsor sign, guest invite to a Rotary Club meeting and lunch recognition, four golf ball sleeves and four-person round of golf with cart Please make all donations or sponsorships payable to the Wabash Rotary Club and sent to PO Box 159, Wabash, IN 46992. All sponsors and donors will be recognized in the follow-up announcements.

“We believe it is much more meaningful for people who are investing in the work of United Fund to know how their money is being invested in the community,” said Steve Johnson, Executive Director of Wabash County United Fund.

The United Fund Board of Directors has approved 19 local agencies for participation in the next funding cycle.

Applicants for funding typically fall into one of the three United Fund focus areas of education, health and financial stability. Agency programs must include services to low and lower-middle income families.

Agencies with qualifying financial stability-related programs include Advantage Housing, ARC of Wabash County, Wabash County Transit, Pathfinder Services Volunteer Income

United Fund awards $40,000 to 12 local nonprofits Wabash County United Fund has awarded a total of $40,000 from the Emergency Relief Grant (ERG) to 12 Wabash County nonprofits organizations. The ERG, which was created in response to the pandemic, supports organizations that have experienced change in their ability to serve their clients because of COVID-19.

The first priority for the ERG was to help nonprofit organizations purchase products or services to be provided to the clients they serve, especially those impacted by the pandemic. The second priority was to help organizations purchase supplies Tax Assistance, Community Assistance Program/WAMA, Lighthouse Mission,

and/or devices to help keep their staff, clients, volunteers and visitors safe and healthy while in their facilities. The third priority was to help organizations purchase technology that will allow them to operate safely, either by working remotely or by using technology to change the way services are provided to their clients.

A grant review committee representing Wabash County United Fund, Community Foundation of Wabash County, Grow Wabash County, and Manchester Alive considered the proposals, which totaled more than $144,000. The Wabash County United

Parkview adds PA-C to ortopedics team Officials from Parkview Wabash Hospital and Parkview Physicians Group (PPG) have welcomed David Mays, Jr., PA-C, to the PPG – Orthopedics team in Wabash.

As a physician assistant, Mays works closely with orthopedic surgeon Mitchell Oetken, DO, to provide expert care for patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal needs, from treatment of sports injuries to joint replacement surgery and more.

Mays brings experience in not only orthopedics, but emergency and family medicine as well. And while he’s new to the Wabash area, he’s already a member of the Parkview family.

Having begun his career as a radiologic technologist for Parkview and ONE

(Or thopedics NorthEast) in 2009, he later worked in emergency medicine as a physician assistant (PA) following completion of his PA studies. In May 2016, he joined PPG – Family Medicine in Roanoke, where he worked with patients of all ages for three years. During that time, Mays also focused on patients’ orthopedic needs – sprains and strains, splinting, casting, joint injections and acute fracture care – as a PA for Parkview Ortho Express.

Most recently, while continuing his orthopedics work, he has been serving on the adjunct faculty of H u n t i n g t o n University, lecturing on pharmacology management in the university’s doctoral program in occupational therapy and contributing to devel-

“Nonprofit organizations have been adapting to providing services during the pandemic,” said Steve Johnson, Executive Director of Wabash County United Fund.

“In many cases, the need is even greater than ever before.”

According to Johnson, many nonprofits had to postpone or cancel their annual fundraising events due to COVID19. “We’re very glad to be able to provide this additional support through these twelve nonprofit organizations,” he said.

Agencies approved to receive funding from the Emergency Relief Grant include 85 Hope, The ACCESS Youth Center, Blessings in a Backpack in North Manchester and Wabash, Friends in Service Here (F.I.S.H.), Grow Wabash County, La Fontaine Learning Community, Living Well in Wabash County, Manchester Early Learning Center, Manchester Fellowship of Churches, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition, and Wabash County Y.M.C.A.

Parkview artwork commemorates Year of the Nurse Artwork honoring nurses was installed at all Parkview hospitals, culminating a weeklong celebration of the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife.

“Broken But Not Divided,” which conveys the many emotions of nurses as they work through the pandemic and national conversations around race in 2020, was created by Danielle BargerMuncie, holistic nursing leader for Parkview’s Allen County hospitals.

Originally created for the Fort Wayne Museum of Art’s 2020 Chalk Walk at Home, her piece won the contest’s People’s Choice Award and was widely shared across social media.

It touched so many people that Parkview leaders had prints created so it could be displayed in all Parkview hospital locations.

Barger-Muncie, who earned a bachelor’s degree in fine art before becoming a

nurse, said, “I was thinking through the events of this year and wondering how to put them in image form. There is so much fear and hostility across the globe and across populations.

“It has been my experience that nursing is a population of its own,” she said.

“There is a natural camaraderie in this profession. There is a kindred connection from knowing we’ve had similar experiences that sometimes cannot be put into words. There is enough common ground that I think nurses often see each other just as nurses rather than by age, gender or race. Why don’t we always do that?

“The COVID-19 pandemic has affected people across the globe without regard to demographics. I feel like our equality as humans should naturally rise over our differences in the wake of this. I tried to make this image

The artwork unveiling was part of Parkview’s weeklong celebration of the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife. The week included special recognition of nurses with awards, T-shirts and a virtual conference with a national nursing consultant.

“The International Year of the Nurse and Midwife also coincides with the celebration of Florence Nightingale’s 200th birthday,” noted Cathy Wolfe, vice president of Patient Care Services, Parkview Wabash

Hospital, as she unveiled the powerful symbolic image.

“What a legacy she has left: nurses now represent well over 50 percent of healthcare workers across the world and, as such, make a significant contribution to the health and well-being of our nation, the world and the communities we call home.”

North Miami soil teams advance The North Miami Soils team recently competed in the Area 8 Soils contest on Oct. 1 in Carrol County.

The competitors had a successful day with three senior division teams earning an invitation to compete at the state contest held in Hamilton County on Oct. 17. Two teams

that qualified for the national contest that was cancelled last year were also invited to advance to the state contest this year.

Both North Miami Masters teams and one individual qualified for state in the Masters division.

The Masters division consists of judgers

Members of the North Miami Soils team are (front, from left) Allie Wildermuth, Anna Eckrote, Hannah Miller, William Herrell, Reid Johnson, Holly Richardson, Landon Thomas, Kacie Deardorff, Alison Smith, Benson Eckrote; Allison Bowman (second row, from left), Hayley Anderson, Abby Richardson, Alaina Weaver, Makayla Miller, Zane Hanaway, Lucas Keim, Calvin Wildermuth, Cameron Early, Jordan Weaver, Connor Ammerman; Owen Knight (third row, from left), Chloe Keith, Cain Clingaman, Britney Stroud, Leann Eckelbarger, Allison Burns, Audrey Piel, Grant Wildermuth, Clay Wildermuth, Dolan Blakely, and Austin Knauff. Photo provided that have previously competed in the national contest.

Contestants evaluate soil for agricultural practices as well as homesite development. Once student evaluations are made, they then complete management practice recommendations including numerous

aspects such as nutrient management and landscape and construction practices before submitting their final scorecard.

Local and state soil scientists are called in to be officials for the contests and to make the formal answer key.

The Master teams

placed first and second in the division with four members claiming top five honors. Audrey Piel secured the top finish of the day with an extremely rare perfect score followed by Clay Wildermuth in 3rd, Cain Clingaman in 4th, and Britney Stroud in 5th. The second place individual spot was claimed

by Trent Reinholt of Rochester.

In the senior division, North Miami placed first, second, and fourth, out of 19 teams with Lewis Cass claiming the third place spot.

High individuals in the senior division included Allison

Bowman claiming 1st, Calvin Wildermuth 2nd, Austin Knauff 5th, Jordan Weaver 7th, and Alison Smith 10th.

The previous national qualifier division was led by a North Miami first place and third place finish. High individuals included Hannah Miller 1st, Will Herrell 4th, Allie Wildermuth 6th and Abby Richardson, Chloe Keith, and Lucas Keim in 8th, 9th, and 10th.

William Herrell had also previously won the high individual in the county contest held back in September.

Area runners move on to semi-state

It was another great day for Wabash County cross country runners Saturday in IHSAA regional action.

At the Marion Regional, the Wabash boys finished third for the second week in a row by five or less points to move on to the New Haven Semi-state at Huntington University. They will be accompanied by Southwood’s Braden Sweet, who took first place for the second week in a row, and Northfield’s Andrew Burns and Mara Zolman.

Meanwhile, at the Logansport Regional, Manchester’s boys finished fifth to advance to the New Prairie Semi-state and will be joined by Josie Briner from the girls squad.

Here is the breakdown by schools: Wabash The Apaches finished third with 75 points, just four points behind Oak Hill (71). But Wabash got revenge on Huntington North (80), which beat them by one point last week. Bellmont, which won its own sectional last week, won the team title with 50 points.

Senior Zack Reed finished fifth to lead the Apaches, who qualified for semistate for the fourth straight year. His time was 16:16.6, more than 14 seconds faster than his sectional time, when he finished third.

Sophomore David Ford was 13th in 16:48.8, senior Jarrett Wilson was 16th in 16:56.5, freshman Kaden Vogel was 21st in 17:24.6 and senior Caelan McDougles was 22nd in 17:25.1 to round out the Wabash scoring. Freshmen Troy Guenin-Hodson (17:32.6) and Trevor Daughtry (18:06.0) were 25th and 45th, respectively, for the Apaches.

Reed, Vogel, McDougle, GueninHodson and Daughtry all posted Personal Records (PRs).

Wabash senior Sierra Hall and freshman Calisen Kugler, who qualified as individuals at the sectional, finished 73rd and

74th, respectively, in the girls race, but failed to advance.

Their times were 23:50.7 and 23:51.8, respectively, both career PRs. Junior Addison Wiley of Huntington North captured the girls race, winning in 17:56.8 while leading the Lady Vikings (59 points) to the team title over Fort Wayne South Side (71) and Oak Hill (82).

Southwood Sweet, hoping to make his second appearance at the State Finals on Oct. 31, crushed last week’s sectional-winning time, dropping under the 16-minute mark to 15:48.1. Last week’s time was 16:06.3. By comparison, the winning time Saturday at Logansport was 16:27.8.

Sweet led the race most of the way, but was caught by Bellmont’s Deion Guise in the latter stages and the two were neck-and-neck down the chute.

Guise, a junior, finished in 15:48.3, 2/100th of a second

behind the champion.

Sweet’s winning time was a PR for the young man who will try to improve on his eighth-place finish in last year’s semi-state and 35th spot at the 2019 State Finals.

His time was also a school record, eclipsing the 22-yearold mark set by BJ Needler at the Manchester Semistate. Needler’s record was 15:49.

Southwood’s boys, who finished fourth at sectional, were ninth Saturday. Other runners for the Knights were freshman Casey Boardman (59th in 18:34.4), senior Caden Prickett (72nd in 19:04.6), freshman Landon Mitchell (79th in 19:36.0), sophomore Devin Danzy (85th in 20:55.7) and junior Braden Smith (88th in 22:33.1).

Unfortunately, Sweet’s sister, Aleia, who qualified as an individual for Saturday’s event with a 32nd-place finish a week earlier, did not advance. A sophomore, she was 77th in 24:06.9. Teammate

Both qualified for the regional with Top 20 finishers at sectional.

Manchester At Logansport, the Squires were again led by senior Carter Bedke, who finished third in 16:42.0, behind the winner, Brayden Cornutt of Western in 16:27.8.

Western, with 49 points, finished second to team champion Warsaw (38).

Culver Academies was third (92), Plymouth fourth (107) and Manchester fifth (153). Warsaw, Culver, Plymouth and the Squires finished 1-2-34 at the Manchester sectional.

Following Bedke across the finish line for Manchester were junior Cade Jones (33rd in 18:02.9), sophomore Raven King (36th in 18:08.8), sophomore Lane Stetzel (18:38.3), freshman Jacob Hasting (60th in 19:15.6), senior Kedrick Metzger (67th in 19:36.0) and sophomore Caden Marcum (75th in 19:58.5).

In the girls race, Warsaw edged Culver Academies by one point for the team title while Manchester, which was fourth at the sectional, was 10th. The

Lady Squires tied Plymouth, but lost the tie based on the sixth finisher.

Briner, a sophomore, led Manchester with a 26th-place finish in 21:10.1 and will advance to the New Prairie Regional, where she finished 63rd last year. She got the tenth and last spot among individuals from non-qualifying teams Saturday.

Senior Alexis Allen of Culver won the regional individual title in 18:27.8.

Following Briner were senior Anna Markham (40th in 22:05.1), freshman Gracie Dale (54th in 23:01.3), freshman Evyn Fox (71st in 24:02.5), freshman Miriam StrubleHedstrom (75th in 24:22.7), freshman Paulette Martin (83rd in 25:12.4) and junior Ainsley West (86 in 26:24.4). The Lady Squires competed without junior

Kambree Cashdollar.

“We ran well,” Head Coach Jody Sarber said. The boys team last qualified for semi-state in 2017.

The girls made it through last year and Briner finished 63rd.

Eloise W. Eberly, 93, North Manchester, passed away Oct. 10, 2020 at Timbercrest Healthcare Center, North Manchester. The oldest of two children, Eloise was born April 28, 1927 in Warsaw, to farmers Earl and Lois (Roose) Whitehead.

After graduating from North Webster High School in 1944, Eloise went on to graduate from Manchester College with a Bachelors of Art degree in Education in 1948 and later from Ball State University where she received her Master’s. In both high school and at Manchester College Eloise participated in band, choir, plays, and girls basketball. Eloise enjoyed playing the clarinet and marimba.

It was at a youth camp at Camp Alexander Mack, where Eloise met William Robert Eberly. The two were married on June 30, 1946 in the North Winona Church of the Brethren. They were married for sixty-five years before the sudden passing of Dr. William Robert Eberly on July 28, 2011. During their blissful marriage, they went camping and traveled throughout the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska. They also traveled to Mexico, Canada, most of Western Europe, Scandinavia, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, but her favorite places were Germany and Switzerland. Until their girls were in high school, they spent every Friday evening doing “something special as a family.”

Eloise was a middle school teacher for many years, teaching mostly in the Tippy Valley school system. She loved the opportunity to make a positive impact on children’s lives. It was her thoughtful and caring personality that made Eloise special to so many. For many years Eloise would send card ministries to people. She would send fifteen to twenty cards a week to people for their birthdays, anniversaries, and for people that needed something special to get them through the upcoming times.

Eloise was a person with many interests and hobbies that included counted cross-stitch and other needle work, cake decorating, music, entertaining, sight-seeing, reading, but she loved fellowshipping and participating in many church activities at Manchester Church of the Brethren, where she was a member.

The loving memory of Eloise Whitehead Eberly will be forever cherished by her daughters, Diana (Barry) Bucher, North Manchester, Brenda (Tom) Horein, Elkhart, and Sandy (John) Wenger, Harrisonburg, Va.; sister, Marietta Miller, Claypool; ten grandchildren; and nineteen great-grandchildren; her countless friends at Timbercrest and Manchester Church of the Brethren. Eloise was preceded in death by her parents, and husband, Dr. William Robert Eberly.

Happy Birthday was sung to Eileen Weck but she would not tell us her age. Bible verses were read from “Prayers & Promises for women.”

Legend has it that every donkey bears the symbol of Christ, in honor of his triumphant entry into

Jerusaleum before his crucifixion.

Pat showed pictures of the donkey her father used to have and showed them the mark of the cross on the donkey.

Pat also showed the ladies some necklaces that she made over the years which were interesting.

Refreshments were served and the meeting was adjourned.

NORTH MANCHESTER — Peabody Retirement Community is hosting a contactless, family-friendly event, now through Oct. 31.

All in North Manchester and the surrounding areas are invited to tour a Trail of Scarecrows on Peabody’s scenic, 33-acre campus located at 400 W. Seventh Street. Activities also include a self-guided scavenger hunt.

“Now more than ever, we are looking for safe, inviting ways to engage the community at Peabody,” said Tracy Irwin, Director of Sales and Marketing. “In a salute to autumn, the Trail of Scarecrows and Scarecrow Tom Scavenger Hunt seem like perfect ways to get our neighbors out of their homes and safely take part in a little socially distant fun. We wish to thank all our sponsors who donated their time, funds and creativity by decorating a scarecrow.”

Visitors can drive (or walk) a trail of more than 20 scarecrows, sponsored and decorated by individuals, businesses and Peabody Friends, including RJ Keirn Trucking, Miller

Restorations, Nordmanns Nook, Goodfellas Pizza, Rhinestones & Roses Floral & Boutique, Fruit Basket Inn/Grand’s Ice Cream, Shabby Chic Windows, and the dental office of Dr. Myers.

“It’s always great to support Peabody. They do a lot for seniors and families in the area, so it’s a pleasure to give back,” said Rodney Keirn of RJ Keirn Trucking. “I hope everyone gets as much joy out of viewing the scarecrows as we did creating them. There are some terrific designs. I think it will be difficult to choose a winner.”

In fact, the public is invited to choose the winner by touring the Trail of Scarecrows and voting for their favorite scarecrow on the Peabody Retirement Community Facebook page.

Before dropping by Peabody, Irwin suggests downloading a printable Trail of Scarecrows map and Scarecrow Tom Scavenger Hunt checklist located on the retirement community’s website at PeabodyRC.org.

“The scavenger hunt should be a blast, too. We saw the Peabody staff hiding signs along the route,” said Ethan Miller of Miller Restorations.

The Roann Heritage Group had its annual public meeting on Friday, Oct. 2, in the town hall.

Co-president of the Heritage Group, Jo Ellen Nelson, opened the meeting welcoming everyone and introduced guests, author Sandy Black and her sister Laura Hudson.

Nelson reviewed the projects the Heritage Group had been working on through the Main Street, (OKA) project.

The beautiful mural on the south side of the Roann Community Building has been completed except a coat of sealing that will protect the painting. It looks very nice and have already had many compliments on it.

A dedication service took place at 10 a.m. on Oct. 17 for the sign. Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch was one of the guests who has been invited.

Following the dedication service, there was a baked potato luncheon with your choice of toppings. It was

a free-will donation. The drawing for the raffle prizes will also be drawn this day.

Other projects planned for improvements in downtown Roann are to paint the east side of the building at Todd’s Corner with directional signs to uptown, to the mill, and to Lukens Lake. The sign on Mom & Pop’s Jazzy Junk store will be refurbished. Also, the sign at the bottom of the Roann sign at Chippewa and

State Road 16 will have an arrow added pointing uptown. We can always use the support and help of people’s monetary gifts, or as volunteers on our projects.

The Roann Heritage Group will sponsor the Winter Market which will be held in the Roann Community Building on December 5th. That evening, we will have a tree lighting ceremony to light the Christmas tree in downtown Roann.

Our goal for the year 2021 is to have new sidewalks installed and eventually new lights for downtown Roann. The Heritage Group’s goal is to “improve the town and make it user friendly.”

After the business meeting, author Sandy Black, author of, “Fun Books by Sandy” read the first chapter of her book, “Oh, Those Old One Room School Houses”, which is still in the process of being written.

Her sister Laura acted out the part of the teacher as Sandy read. It was quite unique! Two other books that Sandy has written were available to purchase. They were, “Old Barns, Red Barns, and the Stories They Tell” and “Old Churches, Older Churches”. Sandy is orig-

inally from Wabash, Indiana and now lives in Noblesville.

Before closing her program, Sandy shared with those present that it is “Never too late to start a bucket list, and never give up on that list.” She was 82 when she wrote her first book.

There were 20 people present at the meeting.

The Heritage Group would like to thank everyone who came to represent the Town of Roann.

WALK BY Faith Community Church is hosting a Community Harvest party on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 5 p.m. They will have hayrides, pumpkin painting, cotton candy, s’mores, chili and hot dogs. Everyone is invited.

PASTOR MACE

thoughts: Our understanding of the church has lost its meaning when it comes to making disciples. Programs, staff, and events are thought to be the avenue to teaching and training. But that is not God’s design. In fact, you do not read any of that in scriptures. 2 Timothy 2 gives us the design for making disciples.

Paul is telling Timothy to entrust the gospel to those who would be faithful to teach it to others.

Every Sunday, followers of Christ sit in the pew and listen to sermons. But what is the purpose of sermons? What are we to do with the information given from the pulpit? It is to be received and then passed on to others. But many, if not most, followers have never shared the gospel with others.

If the church is to fulfill God’s design and please Him, followers are to sit under the preaching of the gospel, learn from scriptures, and share with others. It is not just for church staff, programs, or events to do this. It is not just for Christian schools, Sunday school and bible studies to make us spiritual. These are important to teach us so we can teach others.

Paul gives us three types of people, for example to those who are entrusted with the gospel.

First, there is the soldier who is to discipline themselves so to not get entangled with civilian affairs and totally submit to those who enlist him. A

soldier must obey what they are told for the protection of the group they are in. Followers are to obey the word of God and submit in order to fall in line with the instruction.

An athlete, when competing, must follow the rules in order to win the prize. There are many theories and philosophies in this world that are contrary to God’s design.

Followers need to know God’s word and run the race within the ways of God. A farmer is to work hard for the crops to be harvested. Followers of Christ must work hard to engage the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a lot of work to make disciples but well worth the effort.

The greatest sin in the church today may be followers who are not faithful to share the gospel to make disciples. The church has been silent and must wake up and engage the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Rob Mace preaches at the Roann First Brethren Church. We are looking for followers of Jesus who want to make disciples. Come join us!!

I CAN BE reached by e-mail at meyerann@centurylink.net or at the Roann United Methodist Church on Tuesday and Thursday from 10am1pm. I can also be reached via phone, 765833-2614. News deadline will be Wednesday at 10am to appear in the next weeks paper.

MSD District receives grant for school safety Officials at the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) recently announced nearly $50 million in school safety funding through its School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP).

SVPP provides up to 75 percent of funding for school safety measures in and around primary and secondary schools and school grounds.

The Metropolitan School District (MSD) of Wabash County will receive $345,000 from this grant once a total of $460,000 is used towards state-ofthe-art safety equipment within the schools.

The Students, Teachers, and

Officers Preventing School Violence Act of 2018 (STOP School Violence Act of 2018) gave the COPS Office authority to provide awards directly to states, units of local government, Indian tribes, and public agencies (such as school districts and law enforcement agencies) to improve security at schools and on school grounds in the jurisdiction of the grantee through evidencebased school safety programs. The awards can be used for coordination with law enforcement; training for local law enforcement officers to prevent student violence; metal detectors, locks, lighting,

and other deterrent measures; technology for expedited notification of local law enforcement during an emergency; and other measures that provide a significant improvement in security.

The COPS Office is the federal component of the Department of Justice responsible for advancing community policing nationwide. Since 1994, the COPS Office has invested more than $14 billion to advance community policing, and provide a variety of knowledge resource products including publications, training and technical assistance.

Hit the spot!

By Laura Kurella

There is an almost entrancing feeling that comes over you when you eat something that, as my father used to say, “Hits the spot!”

Having the pleasure of eating so many different things on earth, we all tend to have a small cache of specific foods that, for us, “Hits the spot.”

In my case, there’s lots of shrimp dishes vying for top tier, but Chicago’s famous Shrimp DeJonghe is the absolute winner here.

Consisting of shrimp that’s laden with breadcrumbs drenched in a tastefully-taunting trifecta of butter, sherry, and garlic, it has such amazing flavor and texture that I’ve even dreamed about it. I know, weird!

With one of the oldest pedigrees in Chicago cuisine, Shrimp DeJonghe originated around the turn of the past century, at the DeJonghe’s Hotel and Restaurant (1899–1923).

Attributed to the restaurant’s owners, brothers Henri, Pierre and Charles DeJonghe, Belgium Immigrants who first came to Chicago to run a restaurant at the World’s C o l u m b i a n Exposition, their restaurant became one of Chicago’s premier eateries that boasted an incredible chef, Emil Zehr.

With much debate swirling over the true inventor of the dish -chef Emil or Henri DeJonghe-in 1985 Emil’s son finally stepped forward to settle this debate once and for all.

Contacting the Chicago Tribune after reading a story and recipe about this dish and his dad, Emil G. Zehr correct-

LAURA KURELLA

ed them by stating,’’Dad would never have used liquor in his recipe.’’

Sharing his father’s original recipe with them, (see below), a quick glance shows that it’s not written for home style cooks. In fact, if created as written, you end up with lot of extra butter mixture that Emil likely continually used, so had no need to measure.

If you make his recipe at home, you may want to reduce the amounts for his breadcrumb dough.

Possessing my own recipe, which is an adaptation of one I clipped from the city newspapers serious decades ago, I found some similarities, but also striking differences, as well.

Having spent all these years eating, making, and serving the version that contains sherry, which really makes the shrimp rock, I realized that I now have another recipe Emil’s original which just may push its way up to the top!

Here now for your pleasure, and mine, are two distinctly different ways to make this “Hits the spot” dish, that should be called, “Shrimp Divine.”

Enjoy!

Windy City Shrimp DeJonghe Prep time: 15 minutes; Cook time: 2025 minutes; Yield: 4 servings.

12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks) 1 teaspoon natural fine mineral sea salt 1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely minced (or more, to taste) 1 cup breadcrumbs (dry) 1/3 cup minced parsley 1/2 cup dry sherry Dash of cayenne pepper Dash of sweet paprika 2 pounds large raw shrimp Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixer or bowl, cream together butter, salt and garlic. Mix in breadcrumbs, parsley, sherry, pepper and paprika.

[Alternately, place everything but the shrimp into a food processor and pulse until blended well.]

Peel, devein, rinse, and drain shrimp on a towel and set aside.

Butter 4 to 6 individual, ovenproof casserole dishes (or one 9 x 12” dish). Sprinkle a little of the breadcrumb mixture into the bottom of the dishes, then divide shrimp among the dishes.

Sprinkle remaining breadcrumb mixture over the top of all the dishes then place in oven. Bake until crumbs are golden brown and sizzling, and shrimp cooks through, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Emil Zehr’s Shrimp (as served at DeJonghe’s) Prep time: 25 minutes; Cook time: 16 to 21 minutes; Yield; 4 servings.

Butter mixture: 14 cups homemade white bread crumbs, see step 1 3 cups homemade brown bread crumbs, see step 1 3 pounds butter 1/3 cup chopped shallots

One of my favorite ways to eat shrimp, DeJonghe, is not named after a mustard, which it does not contain, but the restaurant who helped gain its fame. Photo by Laura Kurella.

1 tablespoon Wo r c e s t e r s h i r e sauce 3 drops liquid hot pepper sauce 1 cup chopped fresh garlic 1 cup chopped parsley Shrimp: 12 large raw shrimp 1. Make your bread

crumbs from French or Italian bread 3 days old. This has a great deal to do with its fine texture when finished.

2. Knead butter until soft.

Add remaining ingredients -except shrimpto butter mixture.

Mix well in a wooden bowl. Form into

sausage-like baton and place in refrigerate to set.

3. Clean, peel and de-vein shrimp then pat dry. Cover bottom of casserole with 1/8-inch slices of butter mixture.

Place prepped shrimp on top of butter mixture slices then cover the

shrimp with 1/4-inch slices of butter mixture. Place in a preheated oven (375 to 400 degrees) and bake until the bread crumbs are brown, and shrimp cook through, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Kaley D. ( 5th Grade), from Mrs. Unger, for recognizing the feelings of others.

Thanks to these students, and all the others who also received Knight Notes this

week, for practicing the Knight Way the Right Way by being Respectful, Responsible, and Safe!

LAFONTAINE HISTORY CLUB ON DISPLAY When you are downtown supervising the sidewalk reconstruction take a few minutes to check out the new displays in the Parker and Son store windows. Charles Walters, a descendant of Adam Parker currently owns the store building and has encouraged the club to meet in the building and put the win-

dows to use for historical education.

Don and Linda Jervis will test your memories with their display of farm and kitchen tools from the past. I recognized a razor strop and hog scraper, but the unknown item is still a mystery in my book. They have clearly labeled most items and some of you may only recognize these things from seeing them at the Cracker Barrel. Try to imagine housework and farm work using these implements and utensils then thank your ancestors for surviving without electricity on the farm. Janet and Marlln Pattee and Donna Ballard have brought the Boundary Line Church back to us in the other window displaying communion and other items borrowed from the church. The history

of the church is explained on the poster hanging in the back. Songbooks, Bibles and even pieces of furniture can be viewed with complete explanations of their origins. According to sources, the wooden pointer was sometimes used to awaken dozing parishioners with a bang on the pulpit that can be seen in the back of the window. Take time to look these displays over and show your kids some of the history of our farming and religious community.

Parkview Wabash plans Check-Up Day Parkview Wabash Hospital will host a Check-Up Day on Saturday, Nov. 7, to enable people who need common lab tests to obtain them safely at reduced cost.

“Lab tests are an important part of annual physical exams for so many people,” said Marilyn Custer-Mitchell, president of Parkview Wabash Hospital.

“Folks need to have information from lab results to work with their primary care doctors on their plan to manage chronic health conditions or improve their overall health. Our partnership with the Parkview Center for Healthy Living enables us to offer Check-Up Day at the hospital in a way that

will make sure social distancing, masking and other safety precautions are in place.

We don’t want anyone to ignore their health during this stressful time.”

For the safety of Check-Up Day, guests and staff, precautions will be taken to guard against the spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

These precautions include appropriate spacing and disinfecting surfaces between patient appointments.

In accordance with Parkview policy, masks must be worn at all times in the hospital.

Center for Healthy Living team members will be in the firstfloor Classrooms A, B and C at Parkview Wabash from 7:30 to

10 a.m. on Nov. 7. To minimize contact time and create the safest possible environment, participants must pre-register by phone. Walk-ins cannot be accepted for this event.

Appointment times are limited. Call 260266-6500 or 844-8350003 to pre-register.

Callers should leave a message including their name and phone number. Center for Healthy Living office hours are Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

The Center for Healthy Living will provide the lab draws and pre-registration services. Payment must be made in advance and by credit card only. Individuals calling to pre-register will receive a

reminder call from a Center team member, who will collect the credit card information. On the business day prior to the selected Check-Up Day event, the individual’s credit card will be charged for the tests they’ve chosen.

Tests offered are consistent with those at Check-Up Day events last year, and will include these single tests: hemogram ($10); prostate specific antigen, or PSA ($30), for men over 50; thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH ($30); hemoglobin A1C ($20); and vitamin D ($40). Wellness packages A, B, C and D all offer a lipid profile and a comprehensive metabolic profile.

Package A is $35.

Package B adds a hemogram to the other two tests for a cost of $45. Package C adds the hemogram plus hemoglobin A1C and TSH test for a cost of $80. Package D is the same as Package C but adds the PSA for men and costs $105.

Anyone selecting a wellness package should plan to fast 10 to 12 hours before the anticipated time of their blood draw.

During fasting, sips of water and regular medications are okay.

Questions may be directed to 260-2666500 or 844-835-0003.

Testing information can also be found on the event calendar on parkview.com at https://www.parkvie w.com.

The recommenda-

tions include a detailed engineering analysis by Banning Engineering, as well as next steps to focus on the property’s infrastructure improvements and master planning.

“Since the launch of the program in 2013, we have invest-

ed nearly $1 million to help develop 34 industrial sites across our service area,” said Erin Schneider, Duke Energy director of economic development in Indiana.

“Those sites have welcomed seven new companies to Indiana

and are projected to generate more than 2,500 in jobs and $630 million capital investment in Hoosier communities.”

FRANCES SLOCUM CHAPTER DAR MEETING: The

monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the GrandstaffHentgen Activity Room, Wabash. The meeting opened with the DAR ritual, followed with devotions

by Tamra Wise. The October President General’s message from Denise Doring VanBuren was shared

by Kie Kirk.

Recognizing our Founding on October 11, 1890, we mark not only our society’s Day of Prayer but also the fifth annual National DAR Day of Service. The National Defender report celebrated the 245th birthday of the U.S. Navy, tracing its founding to the date on October 13, 1775.

Committee Minutes were on Conservation: Forecasting Folklore, American Flag,

American Indian, Constitution, Women’s Issues, and Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

The history of the Roann Log Cabin was given by Carol Swihart Long and Steve Christman, both descendants from the Abshire family lineage. The log cabin was built north of the Eel River in August of 1863 by Alexander and Susanna (Swihart) Abshire.

The family donated it to the town of Roann in 1966 as a tribute to the first settlers who arrived in this area. It was dismantled log by log in March 1966 and taken to the park in the center of the uptown area. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be November10 at the Grandstaff-Hentgen Activity Room,

Wabash. Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend. DAR membership is open to any woman 18 years of age, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution.

Those having questions about their family history lineage information may contact www.dar.org or Linda Thompson at 260-563-4661 or Barbara Amiss at 260982-4376.
