Guardian Warriors plan Sept. 11 remembrance By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A relatively new organization is trying to get its name known around Wabash, Miami and Cass counties. The Guardian Warriors formed on Feb. 6, 2020, and had just begun gaining momentum when the pandemic hit. On July 31, it hosted a bake sale and informational meeting at the Heartland REMC building in Wabash. During each event, the Guardian Warriors have a special table honoring those who serve. At the center of the table are hats representing the military, Indiana State Police, firefighters and local police. The organization, according to President Kari Harmon, is designed to “serve, uphold and recognize those who have served, are still serving, their families and their communities to help keep everything going.” “Speaking from the spouse side, my husband is a veteran, we keep the home fire burning while their over their fighting for their country,” she continued. “We serve in a different way. Obviously, they’re getting the kids off to school and everything. “But they’re a mom and dad, both. You don’t hear what they deal with on the backside. So, we’re there to give them moral support and any help we can, from counseling to clothing, food, gas cards for medical appointments. “We’re not fly-bynight. We’re here for good.” In spite of being slowed by the pandemic, the group continued to track its progress.

We’re out there in the face of everything.” Mayors from Wabash, Peru and Logansport have given support to the program. “All the law officials are backing us up as well as we’re backing them up,” Harmon said. The organization, which now has six members, is looking to expand. On Sept. 11, the group will host at event at the Miami County Fairground Community Building in Peru to honor military members, first responders, veterans and their families. The free, kid friendly event will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be food, soft drinks, activities, vendors, music and door prizes, organizers said. “This is one of the things we focus on, recognizing 9-11 and those who were the first responders,” Vice President Evan Strong said. “We know we’re coming up on the 20th anniversary, so we’re going to begin to have an annual meal to celebrate and appreci-

ate those who are first responders, military and civilians.” The organization, Harmon added, also wants to remember those who stepped up to the front line – doctors, nurses, and others – during the pandemic. Anyone interested in volunteering with or becoming a member of the organization can contact Harmon for more information. She can be reached at kari.harmon06@gmail.com or by calling 765-

244-8360. More information also is available at the Guardian Warriors webpages, guardianwarriors.c

NHS’ Myers named finalist for Teacher of the Year

Shelly Myers, a Social Studies teacher at Northfield Jr.-Sr. High School was recently named to the “Top 25” finalist for the 2022 Indiana Teacher of the Year. In May, Myers was announced as the 2021 Northfield Teacher of the Year. After receiving that honor, she was then selected as the MSD of Wabash County High School Teacher of the Year. Teachers who receive this honor from their school district are invited to apply for the Indiana Teacher of the Year award. “It is an honor to represent MSDWC as High School Teacher of the Year and an exciting surprise to have been selected as one of the ‘Top 25’ State Teacher of the Year applicants,” Myers said. “Teachers have the opportunity to be a light in the lives of their students each and every day, and my favorite part of teaching is the connection that I get to build with my students. They are young adults, and they are an important part of this community, our school, and my life. “I want to be someone in their lives who helps them to see what they are capable of

doing, someone who can show them that it doesn’t matter who they are or where they came from, they have it within themselves to be successful and to make a difference for others.” In addition to teaching, Myers serves as a Head of the Social Studies Department, Senior Class Sponsor, Representative of the Teacher’s Association, and Assistant Volleyball Coach. She is about to begin her nineteenth year of teaching. “Northfield students leave Mrs. Myers’ government and economics classes excited and talking about reallife applications that Mrs. Myers facilitated each day,” Northfield Principal Jay Snyder said. “Mrs. Myers is very deserving of Teacher of the Year as I know very few people that devote the time that she does to students and staff alike. Mrs. Myers is

FMB Foundation gives grant to Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry

Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has received a $1,000 grant from the Ford Meter Box Foundation to support its “Meat” the Need initiative. According to Feeding America, approximately 4,000 Wabash County residents regularly struggle with food insecurity – 1,200 of which are children. Deb Treesh, Executive Director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, said that the funds received will be used to pay processing fees on donated livestock and deer, with the meat being given to agencies serving food-insecure residents within Indiana. “More than ever, families are struggling to buy groceries. Food banks, pantries and soup kitchens work to protect the most vulnerable and under-served in our communities and these agencies continue to face increased demand.” said Amber Zecca, Fund Development Director of

Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry. “To donate, farmers and hunters just need to take their livestock or deer to a local participating meat processor (call ahead to schedule livestock). After processing, local food banks and pantries are called to pick up the donation. There is absolutely no charge to donors.”

Laketon Auxiliary watches Military Child Table Ceremony

On Aug. 3, the Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit 402 meeting was opened by President Thelma Butler. Twenty-two members were in attendance. President Thelma and Junior Auxiliary members Laney and Lillian Linkenhoker, Skye Kline, Trinity Bradley, Tessa Bradley, and Taylor Bradley present the Military Child Table Ceremony. The American Legion Auxiliary emphasizes protecting, caring for, and supporting children and youth, particularly those of veterans and military families. Show your support for military children during April – Month of the Military Child. The Military Child’s Table Setting Ceremony is a unique program to involve Auxiliary Junior members and younger Sons of The American Legion to honor the sacrifices of their military child friends and classmates. The ceremony is inspired by the POW/MIA remembrance table ceremony. Our military answer the call to service every day as they defend freedom around the world. That service often comes at a great personal sacrifice, not only for the service member, but also for their children. The nontraditional place setting of the Military Child’s Table Setting Ceremony includes: The potted flowering plant symbolizing that a military child may flower and flourish where they are planted The hand spade recognizes that they may be transplanted to a new place in the world at a moment’s notice. The birthday hat

and unlit candles, along with the baseball and glove, and ballet slippers represent special occasions that are missed. The family photo depicting a child with his/her uniformed parent demonstrates our country’s strength. The final touch to the table setting is the American flag to remind us that families are united in their commitment to national service, at home or away.

Ten juniors were recognized for earning and receiving patches through the ALA Junior Activities Patch Program. Junior members of the American Legion Auxiliary, as well as schoolaged Sons of the American Legion members who often work alongside Juniors, may earn patches for activities in ALA programs, such as Poppy, Leadership, Americanism, Veterans Affairs &

Rehabilitation, and more. Participating in the Patch Program is a terrific way to be involved in learning about the Auxiliary and our Legion Family, volunteering in the community, and serving our country’s veterans.

USDA provides relief for tree farmers, haulers

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is providing up to $200 million to provide relief to timber harvesting and timber hauling businesses that have experienced losses due to COVID-19 as part of USDA’s Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative. Loggers and truckers can apply for assistance through USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) July 22 through Oct. 15, 2021. The Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers program (PATHH) is administered by FSA in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, authorized this critical assistance for the timber industry. Timber harvesting and hauling businesses that have experienced a gross revenue loss of at least 10 percent during the period of Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2020, compared to the period of Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2019, should apply. “USDA’s Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative promised to get financial assistance to a broader set of producers and today’s announcement delivers on that promise,” said Secretary Vilsack. “On top of the existing challenges associated with natural disasters and trade, the pandemic caused a major disruption for loggers and timber haulers including lack of access to wood processing mills. This industry plays a critical role in our nation’s economy and we are proud to support these hardworking loggers and truckers as they get back on track.” “Like many

facets of the agriculture industry, the logging industry has experienced its share of financial hardships throughout the pandemic,” said FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux. “We’re happy to work with the U.S. Forest Service to develop this new program to provide critically needed support.” “We’ve heard from loggers and truckers whose livelihoods were significantly impacted this past year by the COVID19 pandemic, and we are pleased that USDA can help alleviate some of the financial burden,” said Forest Service Chief Vicki Christiansen. “I encourage those logging and loghauling businesses hardest hit by the pandemic to learn more about the assistance offered through this new program.” Details To be eligible for payments, individuals or legal entities must be a timber harvesting or

timber hauling business where 50 percent or more of its gross revenue is derived from one or more of the following: Cutting and transporting timber. Processing of wood on-site on the forest land (chipping, grinding, converting to biochar, cutting to smaller lengths, etc.). Payments will be based on the applicant’s gross revenue received from Jan. 1, 2019, through Dec. 1, 2019, minus gross revenue received from Jan. 1, 2020, through Dec. 1, 2020, multiplied by 80 percent. FSA will issue an initial payment equal to the lesser of the calculated payment amount or $2,000 as applications are approved. A second payment will be made after the signup period has ended based upon remaining PATHH funds. The maximum amount that a person or legal entity may receive directly is $125,000.

GOOD WORDS . . . Do you have BIG questions that seem to have no answers? We all do! It seems that the longer we live, the more questions we have. The Bible can answer every question you have because it’s wisdom and knowledge provide answers on life’s biggest questions! The biggest answers come from the knowledge that GOD is the source of Truth and a healthy fear of God is the beginning of wisdom! (Proverbs 9:10) What is the biggest praise you have in answer to your questions? Tell someone! Rev. Rick E. Carder (RickeCarder.com)

How to apply Loggers and truckers can apply for PATHH beginning on July 22 by completing form FSA-1118, Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers Program application, and certifying to their gross revenue for 2019 and 2020 on the application. Additional documentation may be required. Visit farmers.gov/pathh for more information on how to apply.

Applications can be submitted to the FSA office at any USDA Service Center nationwide by mail, fax, hand delivery, or via electronic means. To find a local FSA office, loggers and truckers can visit farmers.gov/service-locator. They can also call 877508-8364 to speak directly with a USDA employee ready to offer assistance. FSA will host a stakeholder webinar on Wednesday, July 21 at 3 p.m. Eastern. Interested

participants must register for the webinar. As USDA looks to long-term solutions to build back a better food system, the Department is committed to delivering financial assistance to farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers and businesses who have been impacted by COVID-19 market disruptions. Since USDA rolled out the Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative in March, the Department has announced over $7

billion in assistance to producers and agriculture entities. For more details, please visit www.farmers.gov/p andemic-assistance. USDA touches the lives of all Americans each day in so many positive ways. In the Biden-Harris Administration, USDA is transforming America’s food system with a greater focus on more resilient local and regional food production, fairer markets for all producers.

Officials seek entries for 2021 Founders Day Parade Founders Day organizers are accepting parade entries, vendors, reenactors, volunteers and, of course, participants. The Founders Day Festival, which begins with the parade through downtown Wabash, kicks off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 18. You don’t want to miss it! Canceled last year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s event includes the Farmers Market moving onto Miami Street (between Canal and Market), a concert featuring Goshen’s Abby Thomas at

Paradise Spring Historical Park, a wreath-decorating contest, presenting the Little Mister & Miss contest winners, re-enactors at Paradise Spring and children’s games, food trucks and vendors at the park until 4 p.m. A full day of fun and history is being planned to honor the founders of our beloved city. The Friesian Mounted Color Guard from Culver Military Academy will lead off this year’s parade. The last parade, in 2019, had more than 100 units and Parade Chairperson Bev Vanderpool is hoping for at least that

many this year. Contact Vanderpool at City Hall, 260-563-4171, with any questions. She is also looking for residents interested in providing convertibles for the parade dignitaries. “You can drive the car yourself or we will provide a driver,” Vanderpool said. As in previous years Brandt’s Harley Davidson riders are coordinating the opening announcement of the parade by taking a two-lap ride around Canal to Allen then to Market Street and finishing off at Carroll Street.

The parade will begin at the west end of Canal Street, proceed to Paradise Spring Historical Park,

turn north and head west on Market Street back to the Honeywell Center. When the parade ends, activities will pick up at Paradise Spring Historical Park. As of this writing, there are numerous vendors of food, textiles, jewelry, pottery, crafts, and upcycled items that will be available throughout the park. If you are interested in having a space, contact Maria Smyth, Founders Day Festival Committee

Chairperson, at City Hall. Unfortunately, the Gypsy Soul Vintage Market, a collective group of small business vendors from Northeast Indiana, had to cancel its appearance because of medical reasons. Children’s games will be provided by Bachelor Creek Church of Christ and Church of

Christ at Treaty. Gebhart Holdings will be handing out gifts to the children coming to the park while supplies last. Church’s wanting to participate may call Maria Smyth at 563-4171.

The alto’s music has been influenced by the “eclectic mix of The Beatles and Karen Carpenter to Lauren Hill and John Mayer,” according to her website. Her music has an R&B/Jazz flair. She released her first album, entitled “Who I Am,” on June 11. Finally, and as always, it takes a lot of people/volunteers to make a city-wide festival like Founders Day doable. And this year’s event is no exception. Patty Godfroy, vice president of operations of the Wabash County YMCA, is looking for volunteers. Call her at 260-5639622.

THE REV. MACE’S MESSAGE: Are you in the fast lane? We all know what the fast lane in life is. We are running fast forward every day every moment of our lives. Many work multiple jobs and are searching for additional income. Culture teaches what is needed and we sense the desire to get it or accomplish it. Expectations push many into a faster life because it is assumed that a sedentary life is a lazy life. Companies make it all too accessible and lure us into purchasing more stuff. We all know the stress and

weariness of more stuff that brings a greater responsibility to use and maintain. We strive to test pleasure and have a hard time to find it in this life. Yet Solomon searched through all this pleasure and laughter only to find that this also is maddening and as chasing the wind. Here are a few types of things that advertise pleasure. Not all pleasure is sinful but the way it is used and the purpose of participation may lead to sin. Alcohol is used to relax and escape the realities and pain of life. Therefore, alcohol is used to bring cheer and pleasure. Accomplishments of building houses, farms with crops or livestock, gardens and parks, and pools. Another type of pleasure may be sought in acquisitions of gold and silver, bank accounts, vehicles, land and buildings, and boats and farm equipment. And yet another way to search for pleasure may be found in amusements such as traveling, hobbies and sports, concerts and events, eating out and antiques or flea market shopping. Where does this get us and how much long-lasting pleasure is

enjoyed? We seek pleasure so we have to continue these things and often find ourselves having to increase the amount or quantity to have the same sense of pleasure. Are we really happy in this life and are we finding true joy in these things? Solomon in all his wisdom, tested pleasure and laughter only to find that pleasure was his only reward and it was short lived. What we learn from all of this is that as we consider all we have done and the energy and resources that are expended in doing it, all is vanity and a striving after wind and there is nothing to be gained under the sun. Again, we are to be reminded that these things are not

Field Representative will be available to answer constituents’ questions, listen to constituents’ concerns, and connect constituents with resources if they require further assistance. Wednesday, Aug. 25 from 10 a.m. to noon at LaFontaine Town Hall. LIZZY MAKIN UPDATE: These are her words. Sitting here typing out “my story” to send to someone, and I didn’t think it would be a hard thing to do. But let me tell you it sure is. I have never typed out the last nine years. It seems like a blur until I really think about it as I type, it was an extremely long nine years. Maybe something similar has happened in your life and when you think about it your first thought is, well it wasn’t that bad or it was forever ago. Or it could be that the experience you had is so vivid that you cannot even really think about it. I’m experiencing both of these emotions, it’s really hard to think about each detail again. But I’m goanna make myself continue to type it out. I’m praying that letting it out in this fashion will give myself grace to know that these experiences made me who I am today, and that is ok! My life is definitely not what I had it all planned in my mind to be 10 years ago. But if I had not had this all happen, I would not

have my daughter. And I know for a fact that I would loose my left leg for her too! Charli Lous smiles and giggles have the power to make life somewhat melt away and make it all ok in that moment. I’m ready to have this feeling when I look at the trees, flowers, whatever is around and especially when I look at myself. I’m not even sure what my point is to writing all this out but I will let myself know that it is going to be ok. No matter what else is thrown my way. I’ll continue to ride this crazy life out and see what else God has in store for me! Now it’s time to continue writing out my story. Because it is my story! I’ve lived it and I need to be proud of myself for making it through! Hopefully my rambling on will help someone to know that their story matters! God loves you and is with you always! He is ready to ride your crazy adventures with you! Every step of the way! LAFONTAINE LIONS will be having a Breakfast to raise money to maintaine the LaFontaine Community

Honeywell photo show entry date set The Honeywell Center Clark Gallery will begin accepting entries for the annual Photography Show on Monday, Aug. 23, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Photographers of all ages and experience levels are encouraged to enter. An offering of Honeywell Arts & Entertainment, the exhibit will be on display in the Clark Gallery and virtually via HoneywellArts.org Aug. 25 through Sept. 27. The show has three categories: altered images,

color, and black and white (including sepia tones). Participants may enter up to three pieces, all of which can be entered into a single category or all three; however, the maximum of three entries total still applies. Detailed guidelines are

available online. The Photography Show is the largest Clark Gallery competition of the year. In previous years, awards have been distributed to young students and professionals alike. This exhibit is one of many ways Honeywell Arts & Entertainment supports the visual arts. The Clark Gallery typically hosts more than ten exhibits per year and features students, amateurs, and professionals. Because the gallery encompasses the

semi-circle of the Honeywell Center Porter Lobby, foot traffic exceeds 170,000 guests per year. The Clark Gallery is open to the public and artwork may be purchased through the Honeywell Box Office between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Sponsorship of this exhibit is provided by Nicole A. Howard Photography. For more information on this exhibit and other arts and cultural offerings visit HoneywellArts.org. or call 260-563-1102.
