Hand-me-down-love by Barb Maggart It seemed the trip would never end. They had been on the road for two days, but it seemed an eternity to 8-year-old Mary Jean. Christmas was only two days away, she was worried that they were not going to make it to Grandpa’s home in time. Mother assured her they would arrive this very day. Mary Jean had left Virginia with her mother, father and little sister, Cathy, to spend some time with Grandpa Dallas in Indiana. Her Papa had closed up the sawmill that he had owned for many years. Something called the Great Depression was keeping people from buying lumber. Mary Jean didn’t quite understand it, but she knew it was making Papa and Mama unhappy. She heard Mama telling Papa that her father was all alone in that big house back home, and would be glad for some help and some company, especially at Christmas. Grandmother had died several years ago. Falling asleep in the backseat of the old Studebaker, she awoke when she heard her mama say, “There’s the
house!” She looked out the window to see a big white house that sat back in the midst of many trees. A barn hovered in the back with an open shed that sheltered several sheep. Grandpa came out of the house, waving and smiling. “I think Dad is glad to see us,” laughed Mama. He herded them into the old farmhouse, telling Papa that the coffee pot was on. Grandpa’s house was dark. Mary Jean thought it felt sad, like a place that had once had happy memories, but now they had faded away with the passing years. All the rooms off the kitchen were closed off. It looked like the old man spent most of his time in the big kitchen. A large table sat near a window. A big steel cook stove reigned in the corner. An old army cot was pushed in behind it. Along the wall, a large, glass breakfront displayed colorful dishes and bowls. On a stand, by his rocking chair, sat a radio and Grandpa’s Bible. Grandpa sat them down to coffee, milk and store bought cookies. “We will make you some homemade cookies tomorrow,”
Mama promised. “Mary Jean is turning out to be a right smart cook.” “You make me a grocery list,” said Grandpa, pushing away the tasteless store cookie, “and I’ll go to the store today,” he said eagerly. By evening, Mama had all the closed off rooms opened and dusted. A fire was burning brightly in the old cookstove. Grandpa had gone to the grocery and now the kitchen table was piled with sacks of food.
As Mama bundled Mary Jean and Cathy off to bed, she exclaimed, “Get to sleep early. Tomorrow we must get ready for Santa!” Mary Jean had been worried about just that thing. She hated mentioning it too many times. She understood that times were hard and even Santa was hav(continued on page 4)

Christmas is coming quick, but there’s still time to send a last minute letter to Santa; it’s amazing how fast those postal elves can work! This year, second grade students at Metro North Elementary practiced their letter writing skills by dropping Old Saint Nick a line, just in case he needed a little help deciding what to bring this week. Before they were sent north, we read through them and selected our 10 favorite letters to Santa Claus.

Dear Santa, How are you doing? Are the reindeer ready for your long trip? How is Mrs. Claus doing? Is she feeding you so you are fat? No one has even heard of a skinny Santa. This year for Christmas, please bring Hope Troyer a new dress. Hope is my little sister. She out grew her favorite dress, so Mom had to get rid of it. She misses it so much. And please get Addison Kinsey money so she can go to a nail salon. She likes her nails painted. In the world, there are sick people. Please bring sick people some medicine (continued on page 5)

“Sole Brigade” created as Sharing & Caring activity by Shaun Tilghman Each holiday season, Manchester Jr.Sr. High School (MJSHS) students and staff join together to participate in various activities geared toward helping others
in the community. The goal is for everyone to embrace the collective “Squire Strong” spirit and get involved in making a difference in both the school and the community. MJSHS Principal Nancy Alspaugh said, “At the high school, we are in the middle of Sharing & Caring, which is our annual school and community service project that we always do this time of year. Over the past several years, we’ve really enjoyed this time that we spend helping students understand the value of helping your school and helping your community. Every year we try new projects, and we’ve really had wonderful success with them.” This year, Dave
Zinsmeister’s first period Senior English class was discussing possible servicelearning opportunities to incorporate into the Sharing & Caring activities. That’s when one student, Jordan Arnett, suggested collecting shoes. “I had never really heard of anything like it before, I just thought it would be a good project,” Jordan said. “I didn’t think anybody would go along with it but everybody did, and that’s when we all started coming up with names and slogans.” Zinsmeister stated that students used their iPads to research shoe drives and found Soles4Souls, a global not-for-profit institu-
tion whose mission it is to fight the devastating impact and perpetuation of poverty. According to the Soles4Souls website, the organization advances its antipoverty mission by first collecting new and gently used shoes and clothes from individuals, schools, faith-based institutions, civic organizations, and corporate partners. Then, it distributes those shoes and clothes, both via direct donations to people in need and by provisioning qualified micro-enterprise programs designed to create jobs in poor and disadvantaged communities. “We watched their promotional video and the class really got behind the idea,” Z i n s m e i s t e r
explained, “and from that point it just grew to become the Sole Brigade.” Although the class got behind the project, Jordan and some of his classmates admitted that, despite liking the idea, initially they were worried about the outcome. “I thought it was a good idea at first, but I didn’t think that anybody was going to help out or that our class would do as good as we did,” said Brennan France. Jordan added, “A lot of my friends were pretty skeptical about our goal of 450 pairs, as was I, but we pulled it off.” Danica France echoed her classmates’ sentiments. “I honestly didn’t think (continued on page 3)
13 MEMBERS OF THE SOLE BRIGADE traveled to Gary, Ind., which is the nearest distribution center for Soles4Souls. They took 68 boxes full of shoes to donate. (photo by Shaun Tilghman)

MJSHS students collect over 600 pairs of shoes for Soles4Souls... continued from page 2 it would do as good as it did,” Danica said. “Our goal was 450 pairs, and I really didn’t think we’d make our goal because I didn’t think people would put forth the effort and bring in shoes, but in the end we had 631 pairs – it was amazing.” The students all agreed that one of the hardest parts of the whole endeavor was publicity. While they could use morning announcements and emails to reach students and staff, it was more difficult getting the word out past the school community and letting people know what the collection was actually for. “It finally got out there though, and I think having different
locations where they could take their shoes helped a little bit,” Danica added. “We had drop-off locations at M a n c h e s t e r Elementary School, M a n c h e s t e r Intermediate School, and Manchester Administration Office,” Zinsmeister said, “and at the high school we collected in the commons each morning and at the office all day. The drive began on Nov. 17 and officially ended Nov. 26, although we continued to receive donations through Dec. 12 when we delivered them. “Kohl’s Cares joined with us and had their own drive that contributed to our total. They are
HeartSong offers free singing lessons For four consecutive Mondays starting Jan. 5, HeartSong Show Chorus is offering free singing lessons to female singers who desire to learn to improve their singing techniques. The lessons will cover the five Basic Techniques of Vocal Production as well as the basics of a cappella singing in a pop style. Ladies who sign up for the lessons will also have a free month’s membership in the chorus to experience singing fourpart a cappella harmony with the chorus and to practice what they learn in the class. Ladies ages 12 and up with all vocal ranges are invited to participate. Singers

HeartSong Show Chorus is an awardwinning female chorus whose mission it is to promote fourpart a cappella harmony through education, performance and competition. The chorus is one of over 600 choruses in Sweet A d e l i n e s International, the largest singing organization for women in the world and is currently the third place medalist in their division in their six state region.

also donating $500, and the students involved in organizing the Sole Brigade will get to determine how that money will be spent in a charitable effort.” Brennan added, “Lorie Sorg (a MJSHS secretary) is one of the leaders of Sharing & Caring, and she said something to the Kohl’s in Warsaw then took one of our collection boxes over there. They even said that if we collected any shoes there they would also give us $500 to use however we wanted. We still don’t know what we’re going to do with that yet, but we’ll probably put it back into the school somehow.” When reflecting on the project and its success, Zinsmeister stressed that it was an entirely student-driven effort. “I couldn’t be any prouder of what our students were able to organize and what the school and community were willing to contribute,”
he explained. “The students in first period Senior English were organized and willing to put forth additional effort to make the project a success,” Zinsmeister continued. “They were always willing to step up and offer help and were constantly amazed by the generosity of others. They created a system for bundling, binding, tallying, and labeling each box, and they even sorted them according to type of shoe and whether they were new or gently used. Each day it was a lot of fun to see the total on the wall get larger. “The best part of the Sole Brigade effort was watching students learn to trust themselves and their abilities. Each of them brought a different perspective to the project, but they were all so willing to truly work to reach our initial goal of 450 and then go beyond that – they believed that we would be successful
and could always get just one more pair. “I also now have a classroom filled with students who understand what it means to organize and prepare a successful venture. They understand how much work it takes and the planning that is required to make it happen. They won’t ever lose those skills, or the feeling that comes from selfless giving. Our Sharing & Caring efforts through a variety of projects allow all students the opportunity to give back. It is one of the most valuable lessons we can teach them, not only at the holidays, but throughout the entire year as well; and hopefully it will stay with them for the rest of their lives.” Soles4Souls is based in Nashville, Tenn., and its closest distribution center is in Gary, Ind. So, last Friday, 13 students involved in organizing the Sole Brigade piled on a school bus with 68 boxes, which
kind,” Jordan said. Danica concluded, “The best part was that everybody had a part in this and everybody contributed. It was just a good experience – it’s definitely a senior highlight for me. I think it’s a great organization and I hope it continues in future years, I really do.”

about her change of address, but she wasn’t sure Santa knew where Indiana was. It was morning before she knew it. She could smell the bacon Mama was frying, clear back in the little corner bedroom, where she and Cathy slept. Hurriedly, she dressed and told Cathy to do the same. When they arrived at the table, Grandpa told them to eat hearty. They were going to cut a Christmas tree. During the night, it had snowed enough that Mama said they would need to wear their boots. Dad looked down at his worn work shoes and said he better watch where he stepped, since he did not own a pair of boots. Mary Jean knew he hadn’t bought himself any new clothing in a long time. Mama was always mending his old ones. Grandpa asked what size he wore. Dad told him and he disappeared down to the basement. When he reappeared, he held both hands high. In one, he carried a pair of rubber galoshes, and in the other, a heavy denim coat. “Good thing I kept these things,” he explained. “An old
hired hand left them here a couple years ago. Just up and left with no explanation.” He shook his head sadly.” Hard to get good help,” he mumbled. “Aunt Louise will be here soon,” laughed Grandpa. “I’m surprised she hasn’t come by now.” Aunt Louise was Mama’s sister and lived nearby. She had three girls, but they were grown up. As Grandpa led them to the barn, he showed them a big sled that he called a mudboat. He hitched it to old Betty, whom Mama said had been her horse when she was a girl. Off they went into the nearby woods. Grandpa, Mary Jean and Cathy rode on the old mudboat sled. Grandpa showed them where their mother used to play and where she once rode old Betty. Then he pointed out the tree. It was perfect. The girls clapped their hands in excitement. The tree was taller than Grandpa, but he quickly cut it and tied it on the sled. The girls laughingly ran behind. When they arrived at the house, Mary Jean couldn’t help but notice the change in the old home since their arrival. Upon entering the kitchen,

the smell of fresh baked cookies filled the air, as well as the fragrance of the crackling fire in the fireplace. But best of all was the sound of laughter, as a family gathered inside. Grandpa looked as though he was going to burst with happiness. Aunt Louise arrived amidst all the excitement of trimming the tree. She was a large woman, and her welcoming smile and hugs made Mary Jean and Cathy feel like they had known her forever. After the tree was trimmed, Aunt Louise was the first to place some gifts beneath the boughs. The girls couldn’t take their eyes off the splendor of the tree, and now, there were gifts. After supper, Cathy and Mary Jean went right to bed. All that fresh air and excitement had made their eyes heavy with sleep. Christmas morning came with bright sunshine over the new snowfall. The girls rushed to see what was under the tree. They could hardly wait to see what was in the boxes Aunt Louise had brought. Mary Jean found a beautiful doll with golden hair. She loved it at first sight. But her sharp eyes noticed the small crack in one of the chubby arms, and the eyelids, that were to open and close, sometimes stuck. This didn’t bother her at all. The pretty dress

was brand new and very fashionable. It didn’t matter that the doll itself wasn’t. Dinner was served to Aunt Louise and Uncle Mac, along with an elderly couple that lived down the road. Grandpa said they had no family. It had been a wonderful Christmas Day, and Mary Jean laughed at herself because she had worried that since they had no home of their own anymore, that Christmas might not come. She heard Grandpa and Papa talking today. Grandpa asked them to come and live with him and help him on the farm. He told Papa that he needed help and that it was a God send that they had arrived when they did. Papa had accepted, and gave Grandpa a hug and a handshake. They now had a home again. Before climbing into bed, Mary Jean looked out her upstairs window, and into the peaceful countryside. The bleating of the sheep, as they settled for the night, and the dim light in the stable, where Grandpa was feeding the animals, reminded the little girl of that first Christmas night that Grandpa had read about that very evening from his Bible. That little baby had slept in a rented stable, and slept in a poor manger bed. He had no home of his own all the time He lived on this earth. Home – Mary Jean thought that was the nicest name in the whole English language. That is, until she suddenly remembered another word, love. Love had been shown in so many ways these past two days. A hand-me-down pair of boots and a coat, a homemade doll dress, stitched with love by a loving aunt, a dinner invitation to two lonely people, a Christmas tree, and best of all, an offer of a home in this lovely old house. Mary Jean reasoned that love could be handed down too. Hadn’t God done just that when he sent the baby Jesus down from heaven? He was the very first gift of love to all mankind. Wasn’t that hand-me-down love from God? Yes, she decided, love was the best word ever. She continued looking down on the sleeping farmstead, but then raised her face up to the starry heavens, and whispered softly, “Happy Birthday Jesus. Thank you for hand-me-down love.”

How is Mrs. Claus? Is she fixing your suit and your boots? And how are your reindeer doing? Are they ready to fly you all on Christmas Eve? A r e you fat and ready? Because I don’t want you to be short and skinny. I hope you are trying your sled. F o r Christmas, my mom has been wanting a pottery set. She has been waiting forever to get one. She’s never done it before. She thinks it will be fun. I think it will be cool to make things. For Christmas, my dad has been wanting shoes. His old ones are torn up, and he needs new ones. I wanted to get him some, but I don’t have money. So he needs new ones. My grandma wants pajamas, because she wears them all the time. I want to get her some pajamas. I also want to get her slippers, because I love her so much. My brother wants a new 3DS for Christmas. His buttons broke. I want to get him one but Christmas is coming up. He has been begging for one so much. Homeless people need clothes and a home for Christmas more than a street to live on. They need a nice house and food to eat. I want a belt for Christmas. I have one, and I cannot find it. So I want one so, so much. I want new shoes to wear. I always wear mine. I want new ones. Your friend, Kalin Barrus

Lighthouse Mission Thrift Store named December’s Blue Ribbon Business December’s Blue Ribbon Business is Lighthouse Mission Thrift Store. This non-for-profit has been a chamber member since 2006 and celebrates its 10th anniversary at the 806 North Cass Street location this year.
The thrift store offers gently used items, including clothing, shoes, furniture, bedding, and other household items. All items for sale in the store have been donated, and funds are used to pay utilities, building
expenses, and employees. Funds are also used to create food baskets donated to those in need. Many of the retail items donated to the store are then donated to those in need as well. Lighthouse Mission creates a place where

those with special needs can volunteer their time. The thrift store also recycles everything they don’t use. If items are donated and they can’t be sold, those items are donated to Forgotten Children in third world countries. Several local churches pick up sweatshirts from Lighthouse Mission and in turn create warm quilts for the needy. “People will come in and ask that we pray for them, with them. We are simply just being a friend to some people,” said store manager Mary Harris. Mary has been with the thrift store for five years. Sherry Ward, office manager and employee of eight years, also shared information about the store, which employs seven and is run by a board of directors made up of community members. Store hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with Tuesdays being half-price days for senior citizens. For more information, check out their Facebook page, Lighthouse Mission

AYC’s goal: to bring resources together in order to take care of local kids and families. “Our goal is to provide a safe place for kids to spend their time,” said Liz. “Every day after school, we provide a group mentoring program that consists of free snacks, homework help, and games. We also offer family night activities three weekends each month that include food and group activities.” The Access Youth
The Access Youth Center on West Canal Street in Wabash has been serving Wabash County youth and their families since 1986. Originally a weekend program for kids, the AYC has evolved to include a daily after school program, family night events, and a meal program for youth and their families. The AYC provides all of these services free of charge. Executive Director of the Access Liz Hobbs discusses the facets of

Center is unique. No other place in Wabash offers these same opportunities without a membership. The Access staff and volunteers draw kids together and teach them how to be in community. Most importantly, they want every kid to know they matter. Building strong, confident kids starts with a basis of self-worth that is nurtured through love, support, direction, and encouragement. Barb Walters, whose family attends the Access on a regular basis, noticed that, since they have begun coming to the Access, the kids have changed. “They have grown individually and I have noticed an improvement in their behavior. They have more respect.” said Barb. Barb’s grandson, Logan, enjoys coming to the Access after school each day. “I love coming to the Access, because we can eat and play games with each other for free,” said Logan. “When we are here, everyone seems like family; we don’t fight, and we don’t treat each other with disrespect. And mostly, I love it because it’s free and it’s fun.” The Access strives to be a consistent positive presence in the lives of

Wabash County youth. After school each day, kids can go to the Access, where adults are interested in their day, can listen or talk to them, help with homework, or just play games. Regardless, the adults are there to support the kids in any way they need. On Family Nights, the Access invites parents, grandparents, or guardians to come with their children to participate in themed nights, consisting of free food and activities for the families to do together. This helps families interact together outside their typical home environment, and encourages building healthy, strong families. Liz attests to the value of seeing youth in the context of their families. “Sometimes we’ll have a kid come in, and we don’t understand why a certain behavior is happening, but then we visit with their family, and it helps us to connect those dots and figure out how to help.” Over the past few years, family night attendance has increased, and could not be funded through smaller donations. The Access applies for and receives grants periodically from the C o m m u n i t y Foundation, most of which have supported family night events. “The Community Foundation is our key to family nights,” said Liz. “Without their support, those nights wouldn’t happen on the level that they do. Because we are now averaging 50-60 people at each family night, we really need the backing of an organization like the C o m m u n i t y Foundation, and we’re thrilled to have their help.” As a nonprofit organization, the AYC relies on donations and grants to support its programs. While various churches and other organizations provide support to the Access’s programs, the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County has focused several grants specifically on family night events. The grants come from the Good Deeds Endowments – unrestricted endowments at the (continued on page 16)

Council hears proposal for historic preservation ordinance Committee established to explore options by Shaun Tilghman North Manchester News-Journal North Manchester Town Council President Chris Garber began the Dec. 3 meeting by asking those present to join in a moment of silence to honor the late North Manchester Police Officer David Rigney. Following the special display of respect, council members approved the Town Life Center lease agreement, as well as the second reading of the 2015 Salary Ordinance (General Ordinance #8). In new business, Manchester Main Street Historic Preservation & Design Committee Chair Debbie Chinworth presented information regarding her organization’s proposal for the Town to adopt a H i s t o r i c Preservation Ordinance. According to Chinworth, the proposal stems from work the committee began in 2011 that involves looking at the design of the town and historic preservation. “We believe that the positive changes brought to our downtown – through the streetscape design, the OCRA façade grant program, and the town council’s own façade program – provide the momentum to explore adopting an ordinance that would protect the restoration that has taken place, and provide guidelines for future projects,” Chinworth said, in an email to council members prior to the meeting. In addition, Chinworth stated that the committee gathered information, then talked to
building owners about what it would mean to them to have protection for their buildings, and for the properties around them. “The majority of building owners were in favor of an ordinance, so we felt like we were in a spot where we could move forward,” she added. “Every little town in the Midwest wants to be unique, wants to be revitalized, and wants a lot of business,” Chinworth continued. “North Manchester is no exception, and you’ve done it with a great streetscape and the new façade program. We have an opportunity, now that you’ve created this beautiful restoration, to go forward and keep some promise of keeping it that way. We don’t want to step backward; we want to keep moving forward. “Now that the façade grant is in place, and we can all see the beautiful buildings, we all have an incentive to move forward. It’s a smart economical move for you to think about a H i s t o r i c Preservation Ordinance, because you’ve spent a lot of money, and you need to think about how to insure that. We want to protect our visual character, boost our property values, attract additional investments, and fill those storefronts, all the while using guidelines that can ensure long-term protection for those investments.” Chinworth went on to say that, through the Historic Preservation Ordinance, a Historic Preservation Commission would also be created. The commission provides a resource for preserving our town’s historic and architectural character by getting design outlines and suggesting
possible Historic Districts – one building, a stretch of buildings, an entire downtown area, or an entire residential area. Todd Zeiger, director of the Northern Regional & North Central Field Office of Indiana Landmarks, was also on-hand to provide some input. He began by informing the council that Indiana Landmarks already serves as consultants for a number of communities and commissions. “I’m here to serve as a resource, but a word that comes to mind is authentic,” Zeiger explained. “This is what we look at as an opportunity for the community to define what your vision is for your downtown. This is not something where I’m going to come in and tell you what to do. It’s really an opportunity for the building owners and residents to say, ‘This is our vision for our downtown, or for our residential areas.’ “That is all done through the creation of design guidelines, which are created with input from the owners and residents. It has been shown that areas that have design review will outperform other areas that do not over time. You mentioned single sites, and it’s certainly possible to do individual buildings, but those economic benefits go along with the creation of a district where everybody is moving forward with the same vision.” Zeiger then stated that this is at least a two-step process, because the commission of 3-9 individuals appointed by the council first has to choose possible districts, but then the authority always comes back to the council. Garber followed up the presentations by
expressing his desire to develop a committee for now. “I don’t know that the ordinance is the way to do it, but I know we’ve got to protect our investment downtown,” he said. “We have a significant investment in our downtown, and it’s catching fire,” Garber concluded, “so there’s not a better time to try to control this all. But, I don’t want this to be a Town Council committee completely. I had envisioned that [Town Manager Dave Schoeff] would play a role there, as well as Jim (Smith) playing a role from the council, but I was also hoping Manchester Main Street and the Chamber of Commerce would appoint somebody to serve on the committee.” In the end, it was decided that the committee would be comprised of Schoeff, Smith, Building Commissioner Bernie Ferringer, and a representative from both MMS and the chamber. In other business, the council discussed proposed street closings for the 2015 Relay for Life event, submitted by the North Manchester Relay for Life Committee, which includes: Sebrena Cline, event chair; J.P. Freeman, logistics; Sonya Hammons, sponsorship; Melonie Sroufe, team development; Sheila Hann, luminaria; Kim Duchane & Manchester University students, survivorship; Renee Penrod, accounting; and Adrienne Warren, silent auction. According to the proposal, the North Manchester Relay for Life Committee has begun working on the 2015 event, which is scheduled for April 25 from 10 a.m. to 10 (continued on page 18)

Thanks so much to everyone who donated food and other items for the Roann Food Pantry. Library staff delivered two large boxes and several bags of items to the pantry in time for Christmas dinners.
The library has been collecting for the pantry twice a year for some time now, and this was by far the best turnout ever! There have been two craft days, both for children and adults this month. Thank you to Cameron Huffman, who not only donated all the materials for the crafts, but also led one of the craft days himself. Thanks also to all the volunteers who have helped at the library this month, with the decorating, used book sale, and the craft days. The library staff hopes the public has enjoyed the holiday decorations at the library. This year’s book theme was Hansel and Gretel. The story highlighted for next year will be “The Gingerbread Man.” Get your taste buds ready! The library will be closed on December 24, 25, 31, and January 1 in observance of the holidays.

Finally, Chief Jeff Perry informed council members that November was “a very long, trying month” for the North Manchester Police Department, but also thanked everyone for the support that was shown to the department. “I would also like to ask permission to once
again start the hiring process for another officer,” Chief Perry added. “The process will take a couple of months to complete, because we try to get the best qualified individual that will fit with the officers of this department. We are currently operating with one officer at the academy and one that just started training on Nov. 18, and we are now missing Officer Rigney too.” Council members unanimously approved Chief Perry’s request, as well as his request to hire three part-time officers.

Three tips for protecting against the winter sun
Don’t pack away the sunblock with your swimsuit and other summer accessories. Winter’s sun is just as dangerous as summer’s, says Adam J. Scheiner, M.D. an eyelid and facial cosmetic surgeon who’s been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, The Howard Stern Show, and The Doctors “The snow reflects the glare of the sun – and the damaging UV rays,” he says. “People who like skiing and snowboarding in the mountains are getting 4 to 5 percent more UV damage for every 1,000 feet they ascend above sea level.” And then there are all those holiday cruises and escapes to warm-weather climates where beaches are packed yearround. “It’s not OK to lie baking in the sun for hours, even if it’s just one week out of the winter,” Dr. Scheiner says. No matter how comfortable or cool the temperature feels, don’t be fooled! “Earlier this year, the surgeon general predicted 9,000 people will die from melanoma this year. That’s preventable,” Dr. Scheiner says. “If skin cancer doesn’t scare you, think with your vanity. Sun exposure is the number one cause of wrinkles, discoloration, age spots and festoons, among other disfiguring problems.” Dr. Scheiner shares tips for preventing, minimizing and repairing sun damage: •Prevention: You’re not just exposed when you’re skiing, hiking, or taking a beach vacation. “Anytime you go outside, you’re exposing yourself to damaging UVB and UVA rays, and the result is cumulative. A little bit here and a little there adds up,” Scheiner says. Simply driving a car can result in serious sun damage. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
found more skin cancers on the left side of patients’ faces – the side exposed while driving – then the right. Scheiner says he’s seen truckers and others who spend years on the road with severe wrinkling on the left side of the face. “Always wear sunscreen, which protects against UVA and UVB rays. I recommend a Broad Spectrum Sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30, preferably higher,” he says. “You can also protect yourself from UVA rays, which cause deeper damage, by applying UV-protective film to your car
windows. Also, wear clothes with a UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) rating of at least 30.” •Minimizing: Good nutrition and topical products can help minimize signs of damage, such as wrinkles and age spots, Dr. Scheiner says. Eat foods rich in antioxidants — carrots and other yellow and orange fruits and vegetables; spinach and other green leafy vegetables; tomatoes; blueberries; peas and beans; fatty fish, and nuts. An American Society for Clinical Nutrition study found that women ages 40 to 75 who consumed more vita-
min C, an antioxidant, had fewer wrinkles. Use exfoliate creams to remove dead skin cells. Prescription creams including Avita, Avage, Renova and Retin-A have been shown to reduce wrinkles and age spots caused by sun exposure. •Repairing: Lasers can resurface facial skin by ripping away the outermost layers. Some “non-ablative” lasers also stimulate collagen formation, which helps smooth wrinkles. “I use RESET® Laser Skin Resurfacing, which reverses the damage and removes many
pre-cancers and even active skin cancers,” Scheiner says. “RESET uses an advanced Dual Pulsed Erbium Laser, and my proprietary healing protocol. “ The RESET® treatment Dr. Scheiner
has vaporizes the old skin and causes the collagen in the underlying layers to tighten. The No. 1 best thing you can do for your skin starting today is to start making application of a broad spectrum,
UVB/UVA sunscreen part of your daily routine. “Apply it to all areas of the skin that can be directly exposed to the sun,” he says. “The best scenario is preventing sun damage in the first place.”

county, it seems you cannot drive more than a couple of miles without seeing a barn rise up out of the Indiana fields, but is that slowly changing? Stanley Browne and his wife, Elizabeth, live in England, but they own an estate in Wabash County, which includes an old peg barn. Popular before the 20th Century, when modern bolts were not available, wooden pegs were used to secure boards and beams. The absence of metal screws, bolts, and nails in the structure (all of which rust and loosen over time) has allowed these buildings to last for hundreds of years. The Brownes, however, have noticed a startling trend; the high cost of maintenance and repairs, especially to the old roofs, has forced some peg barn owners to demolish the structures. While the importance of preserving peg barns has been realized and prioritized in their home country, the Brownes have noticed that the same
effort isn’t as present in Indiana. With the help of a new bill out of the Indiana House, an effort is emerging to save wood peg barns. The bill aims to encourage farmers to preserve historic barns by providing tax breaks to owners. The Brownes, along with other Indiana families, hope to raise public awareness about peg barns and their historic value to the community. “My wife and I feel like Wabash is going to lose some of their fundamental substance of the community. At one time, everybody had peg barns,” Stanley told The Paper. “Stanley is very concerned that the barn, should it be knocked down, would be one of many that would be knocked down,” explained Elizabeth. “The
intrinsic part of Wabash is its heritage, its farmland, and the whole thing is being destroyed. It’s very simple to get rid of something, but you can’t put them back again.” The Brownes’ pegged barn needs a new roof, something the trustees of their estate are not interested in purchasing. “Our barn is not in bad shape. It needs a new roof. It’s the only white oak barn in 50 miles. Halderman (Farm Management) figures it is unheard of to have a white oak barn,” Stanley added. Today, White Oak runs approximately $3.50 per board-foot, according to Builder’s Mart. In Hancock County, just east of Indianapolis, on a farm owned by Brendon Hartnett, there are two such barns that have been maintained over the
years, and state lawmakers have begun to understand the value these barns have to Indiana. In February of this year, two bills were in the Indiana General Assembly that would waive property taxes on certain historic barns, which would allow the owners use the tax savings toward barn preservation, according to the Indiana Economic Digest. One of the bills was written by Rep. Bob Cherry, who believes, like the Brownes, that tearing these barns down or letting them continue to dilapidate, will change the rural landscape of Indiana. House Bill 1046 would allow counties to begin a 100 percent property tax deduction of peg structures built prior to 1936, which according to Stanley, would include his current

barn, built in the 1800s. This bill would also require Indiana’s office of tourism to promote historic barns. Almost 15 years ago in Iowa, a program was started to offer statewide barn tours, which is something that Rep. Cherry would love to see started in Indiana. Similar to Cherry’s interest, the Brownes would like to see a barn registry started, not only in an attempt to help preserve their barn, but to connect with other pegged barn owners. “I wondered whether it would be sensible to see how many people think these barns are valuable and how many don’t? You could start a society for the preservation of barns,” suggested Stanley. “There are barns all over Wabash County, and other counties, that are basically being destroyed.” “The story here, to me, is making an emphasis on some of things that are going on, and it won’t be until another 10 years when people turn around and think, ‘What have we got left?’” added Elizabeth. “It’s gone, and that, to me, was the value of looking at it. What’s going to replace them? Is it going to look better? I doubt it. The whole ethos of a place changes and it’s worth fighting for.” According to a report by Brownfield Ag News, Governor Pence signed House Bill 1046 in June of this year, and Rep. Cherry stated, “in addition to House Bill 1046, a group of interested individuals are forming a barn foundation to raise money that will provide grants to restore old barns.”

Limited levels of crop insurance offered for specialty crops in Wabash County Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program reauthorized by 2014 Farm Bill Wabash County is seeing an increased number of producers growing crops other than corn, soybeans and wheat. In this growing trend, the Wabash County Farm Service Agency would like to make county producers aware of their options for crop insurance, as the office can offer only limited coverage levels through stand crop insurance companies. According to a recent 2014 Farm Bill fact sheet, released by the United States Department of Agriculture, the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), reauthorized by the 2014 Farm Bill and administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency, provides financial assistance to producers of noninsurable crops to
protect against natural disasters that result in lower yields or crop losses, or prevents crop planting. To be eligible, you must be a landowner, tenant or sharecropper that shares risk of producing eligible crop and is entitled to an ownership share of that crop. The average adjusted gross income cannot exceed $900,000 to remain eligible for NAP payments. Eligible crops include crops that are grown for food, planted and grown for livestock consumption, grown for fiber, grown in a controlled environment, specialty crops, sea oats and sea grass, sweet sorghum and biomass sorghum, industrial crops, value loss crops, and seed crops. These crops must be commercially produced commodities for which crop insurance is not available. The following natural disasters are eligible causes of loss: - Damaging weath-
er, including drought, freeze, hail, excessive moisture and excessive wind; - Adverse natural occurrences, including earthquakes and floods; - Conditions related to damaging weather or adverse natural occurrences, including excessive heat, plant disease or insect infestation. These natural disasters must occur during the covered period, before or during harvest, and must directly affect the eli-
gible crop. NAP offers coverage based on the amount of loss that exceeds 50 percent of anticipated production at 55 percent of the average market price for the crop. The 2014 Farm Bill authorizes additional coverage levels ranging from 50 to 65 percent of production, in 5 percent increments, at 100 percent of the average market price. Coverage over and above this level must be elected by a producer by the applica-
tion closing date. Those producers must pay a premium in addition to the service fee. Additionally, crops intended for grazing are not eligible for additional coverage. To apply for coverage, producers will use form CCC-471 and pay a service fee at the FSA office where their farm’s records are maintained. Applications and fees must be filed by the closing date, which varies by crop. For all coverage lev-
els, the NAP service fee is the lesser of $250 per crop or $750 per producer per administrative county, not to exceed a total of $1,875 for a producer with farming interests in multiple counties. Producers who elect addition coverage must also pay a premium equal to the multiplied product of:

Norse use the long ball in win over Southern Wells by Gary Andrews It may have been drizzly and cold outside Tuesday, but the Northfield boys basketball team was on fire inside. The Norse burned up the nets with the first four buckets coming from behind the arch, hitting six in the first quarter and 11 for the game in an 81-52 route over Southern Wells. With two of their big men out for illness (Ryan Wilcox and Austin Burns) the Norse took to the long ball. Jarred Short would nail a three to start the game and was followed by an Adam Roser three before Short hit his second. Noah Shear would then join the action from behind the arch as the Norse opened a 12-5 lead. Short would then hit a two and was followed by a Cody Holmes bucket to lead 16-7 with 4:55 still left in the quarter. Southern Wells would then hit two buckets to close

After a Raider bucket, Noah Shear would end the
quarter with his second bomb as the Norse led 29-12. Jake Schuler would start the scoring in the second with Cody Holmes connecting on backto-back buckets as Northfield built their lead to 35-12. The Raiders would calm a little and cut the

North Manchester Historical Society to show natural history movie On Monday, Jan. 12, the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society will hold its annual Members’ Meeting in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest. The brief business meeting will include reports on the activities of the Historical Society for the past year and election of new board members.
Monthly programs for 2015 will also be announced. After the business meeting, the audience will be treated to a video about the natural heritage of Indiana: “The Indiana That Was.” This video is part of the Natural Heritage of Indiana Series, which seeks to celebrate Indiana’s natural heritage and human history, linking the landscape that was to what it is now and what it promises to be. The challenge is to help protect what remains of Indiana’s natural
heritage. The series was shown on the PBS television station in Indianapolis a few years ago and is beautiful rendering of thousands of miles of travel and two years of photographing the natural wonders of Indiana. The except shown will feature what the state once looked like, with vast forests and prairies, and a huge diversity of what now seem like exotic species. The program will be held in the Assembly Room of Timbercrest Senior Living Community,
2201 East Street, at 6:40 p.m. There is no cost for the program, which is free to the public. All are welcome. While many attend only the program, the public is also invited to come to the Assembly Room at 6 p.m. for a meal prior to the presentation. For those who wish to attend the dinner, reservations must be made no later than noon on Friday, Jan. 9. Reservations may be made by calling Evelyn at 260-9826777, or the Center for History at 260-9820672.

The Wabash County Tourney is a unique event that combines the JV and varsity teams all playing at the same school location on the same two days each year. It rotates from school to school every year. If memory serves me correctly, this version was the brainchild of the athletic directors a num-

As a child, Christmas for my brothers and I was filled with laughter, happiness and the security of a loving family. My parents made sure we always had a wonderful Christmas together. I don’t know exactly how my mom did it, but she always made Christmas magical for us. We still love going home for the holidays and spending time with them. I laugh when I tell people that my mother invented the “Elf on the Shelf ” – I’m not kidding. When I was a little girl, we had a little ceramic elf that my mom would put on a shelf at Christmas time to remind her children to be on their best behavior. Who knew that in the 1960’s, she would be so ahead of her time. For as long as I can remember, my mom would make these wonderful cookies for Christmas (and she still does!) Try starting some family traditions of your own by making these delicious cookies. I want to wish all of you peace and love this Christmas season, because Christmas is really about God’s incredible love for each of us.

THE PAPER 26 A Stellar Community: Eagles Theatre Community Center www.thepaperofwabash.com
December 22, 2014
Editor’s Note: This is the sixth in a series of nine articles outlining each of the proposed projects included in Wabash’s Strategic Investment Plan, funded through the Stellar Communities program. by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com The Eagles Theatre has been a key component to downtown entertainment for more than a century. Now, with the help of the Stellar Communities program, the historic theatre is getting a much needed renovation, which will work to expand the variety of events hosted within the building and return Eagles Theatre to its former glory.
THE EAGLES THEATRE, located at 106 West Market Street, is one of nine projects included in this year’s Stellar Communities application. The theatre opened in 1906, and much of the building has been out of use for decades. (photo provided) When the Stellar selection committee visited Wabash on June 26, the group began its day with a presentation of the Strategic Investment
Plan in the Eagles Theatre. Economic Development Group President and CEO Bill Konyha noted that the Eagles Theatre really cap-

tured the committee’s imagination due to its function as a community center, providing both entertainment and education. “When you plan, you’ve got to know your tradition, and you’ve got to know your history, where you’ve been,” Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham said during the presentation. The theatre certainly has a lot of history. The theatre was built around the beginning (continued on page 27)

The doors were opened on March 27, 1906 with a live show featuring Miss Bertha Gallant, based out of Chicago. In addition to serving as a fraternal lodge, the building hosted countless vaudeville acts, and with the emergence of motion picture, began showing movies. “You don’t know too many towns that still have a historic theatre like that, that’s been continuously operating since the beginning of film. There aren’t many left,� said Tod Minnich, executive director of the H o n e y w e l l Foundation, which now owns and operates the theatre. “When we acquired the theatre five years ago, we did some, upgrades and improvements. It was new seating on the
main floor, and there was a lot of paint involved.� This first phase of renovation, completed in 2010, was focused on making the theatre’s main level usable and comfortable. Since then, Eagles Theatre’s programming has expanded, from 35 screenings in 2010 to 138 screenings and events in 2013, including new live events, an independent film series, a throwback films series, and private building rentals. With the help of Stellar, plans are in place for renovation of the rest of the building, including the lobby, bathrooms, and upper three floors. “This plan will allow us to expand the existing community center capacity currently offered at the Honeywell Center and Honeywell House,� Minnich said during the presentation in

Lady Apaches pick up road win at Oak Hill by Gary Andrews The Wabash Lady Apaches went on the road to potential sectional opponent Oak Hill Tuesday, building a halftime lead before having to come from behind in a 56-52 barn burner. The two teams were tied at 13 after the first quarter when the Lady Apaches made a move in the second, out scoring the Eagles 12-6 in the second to grab a 25-19 halftime lead. Oak Hill would come out on fire in the third quarter, going on a 19-5 run to start the second half and grab a 38-30 before the Lady Apaches clawed their way back to trail 4039 after three. In the fourth Wabash would grab a 47-46 lead with 1:58 to go and led 52-49 with 12.5 seconds remaining and Oak Hill had the ball. The Lady Eagles would throw the ball away with 7.3 left, then foul Claire Cromer at 6.6. Cromer would sink both free throws to make it 54-49 before an Eagle three with .9 on the clock. Oak
Hill would foul Kristin Cromer with .1 remaining. Cromer would seal the deal as the Lady Apaches escaped 56-
52. Claire Cromer and Sarah Puckett led Wabash with 21 points each. Shelby Stone and Madison
Barden added 4 points each. Kristin Cromer had 3 points, Sarah Ritter 2 points, Jaycee Parrett 1 point.

be a beautiful home for wedding receptions, proms, and other types of corporate events,” said Minnich. “Because it’s about the same size as the stage down below, it could also be used for rehearsals, for dance events, for community theatre and a variety of other community activities.” With the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater just a block away, live programming at Eagles is focused on smaller shows, such as the Thursday Night Blues and Thursday Night Comedy series, both of which have been running for three years. “For a lot of events, the Eagles Theatre, just the size of the venue and the number of seats, makes it much more appropriate,” said Minnich. “In the Ford Theater, unless you have 8-900 people in the room, it looks pretty empty, where at Eagles Theatre, if you have 100 people in, it looks pretty good, and if you have 400, it’s completely full, and so we envision that certain events would be better suited to that size venue. The blues series and the comedy series that we’re developing, I think, are great examples of things that are better suited to the Eagles Theatre than the Ford Theater stage. Most recently, the foundation purchased a digital projector, which has allowed them to continue showing first-run movies, no longer available on the old f o r m a t . Unfortunately, in it’s current configuration, the screen cannot be lifted out of the way for events on the stage. The fly space above the stage was sealed off years ago to improve heating efficiency. In the next phase of renovation, the goal is to reopen this space and return an active fly system to the theatre. “The vision would be, when the fly space is restored, that the screen would have the ability to fly in and out, so you would have a large screen the entire width of the proscenium,” said Minnich. “Then when we do live productions, that screen would actually fly up
out of the way, much like it does at the Ford Theater, just with a much, much larger screen.” A key improvement to the theatre will be the construction of new, accessible restrooms. While the 2010 renovation included a wheelchair accessible seating area, there is no way for male patrons with disabilities to get to the restroom. A new, expanded lobby area will include modern, accessible restrooms. Before the project gets off the ground, an engineer will be hired to assess the building’s structure. Though the building appears to be in good shape for its age, there are some areas with significant water damage. “Most of the water damage, the serious damage and the structural issues, were related to many years where the roof wasn’t taken care of,” said Minnich. “The upper floors have been aban-
doned for literally decades, probably pushing half a century, and so while they’re in what seems to be really good shape, the building’s a hundred years old, so we will make sure we bring a structural engineer in and look at everything so that it will stand for another hundred or more years.” While the schedule is not finalized, the Strategic Investment
Plan shows that construction could start as early as February 2015. The project is estimated to cost $5,334,235. Committed local funds total more than $3 million, giving the project a 41% gap request worth just over $2 million. “Certainly the feeling of that committee was that the Eagles Theatre is a priority project,” said Minnich. “We’re really in an early phase.

There would be architecture and engineering studies that would need to be done to really get down to a final budget and to determine what can be done with the facil-
ity.” Residents of Wabash have been enjoying Eagles Theatre for more than a century, and with the help of the Stellar Communities pro-
gram, the Honeywell Foundation hopes to see the building serve the community in new ways for a century to come.

THE PAPER
www.thepaperofwabash.com
December 22, 2014
America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders returns to Indiana Scholarship program promotes careers in agriculture across 40 states After a successful pilot in Indiana this past school year, America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders is now expanding to 40 states, with more than $500,000 worth of
scholarships available. Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the program provides $1,500 college scholarships to students pursuing a degree related to agriculture. Starting Nov. 15, high school seniors and college students in Indiana and other eligible states can apply for this opportunity.
Farmers know the rewards of a career in agriculture, but many of today’s youth may not. Luckily, there is an abundance of evidence that agriculture is a smart career choice. According to the USDA, nearly 55,000 jobs in agriculture are available every year. Many of the nation’s largest
land-grant institutions, such as Penn State and Texas A&M University, report job placement rates above 90% for their ag students. Grow Ag Leaders helps engage future generations in agriculture by raising awareness of the broad range of career opportunities in the
industry and by supporting their college education. The program was created in response to farmer requests to keep rural youth involved in agriculture. Farmers can participate in the program by encouraging students in their community to apply for a scholarship and by endorsing their application. Because farmers play a crucial role in the industry, each applicant is required to obtain endorsements from at least three local farmers. “We want to encourage ambitious and talented students to pursue careers in this growing field,”
campaign, which highlights the vital role played by farmers, through programs designed to support rural communities. Farmers interested in promoting the program and endorsing students’ scholarship applications can learn how at GrowAgLeaders.com. The scholarships are administered by the National FFA Organization, but FFA membership is not required to apply. Students have until Feb. 1, 2015 to complete the application online at F FA . o r g / s c h o l a r ships.
said Elizabeth Vancil, Youth and Community Outreach manager at Monsanto. “As students who grew up in rural areas learn more about what agriculture has become, they are realizing that it is a fascinating, hitech industry, with job growth, job security, and high wages. These young people are seeing that there are emerging opportunities for a new generation of innovative young farmers, engineers, implement designers, marketing specialists and seed scientists.” Grow Ag Leaders is part of the overall America’s Farmers
