Shoe Sensation cuts ribbon at Wabash store

By Phil Smith psmith@thepaperofwabash.com

At least a dozen customers lined up outside Wabash’s newest business on Friday, June 24 to sample the product line as the business, along with representatives of Grow Wabash County celebrated the store’s grand opening and ribbon cutting.

Shoe Sensation, located at 1443 N. Cass Street, Suite 1400, officially opened at 9 a.m. and became

Wabash’s newest business and only store specializing in footwear.

“We’re excited today to welcome a new shoe store,” said Keith Gillenwater, president and CEO of Grow Wabash County. “I don’t think I’ve been living in Wabash County since we’ve had a dedicated shoe store and personally for me, as a place to be able to buy men’s dress shoes, I am super excited.”

Kimberly P. Larimore, the com-

pany’s market sales director expressed the chain’s enthusiasm for locating an outlet in Wabash County.

“We are excited to be here,” Larimore said.

“We’re a family shoe store and we love to be able to bring name brands close to home.”

The company is headquartered in Jeffersonville and began in 1984, according to its website, which also estimates the firm boasts between 180 and 200 stores.

Gas prices, shortfall has WCS looking to unload Ivy Tech site

By Phil Smith psmith@thepaperofwabash.com A current deficit in a major fund, coupled with economic challenges suffered by all Americans has officials at Wabash City Schools considering some cutbacks in the form of reducing assets.

At the regular meeting of the board of trustees June 20, the board, along with Business Manager Matt Stone and Superintendent Dr. Amy Sivley, discussed several deficits in the corporation’s coffers.

“The operations (fund) is the issue,” said Stone. “The Ed

fund will get better.”

The board had a report that at the time of the meeting showed a deficit of $100,000 in the Education Fund and a shortfall of $1.1 million in operations. Stone reported later in the week that the Education Fund had rebounded to a positive balance of $48,000.

“As we look at the financials and we look at operations being negative — it has been for awhile — what are we looking at to address it?” asked Board President Rod Kelsheimer.

“It scares me because with the price of gas, if gas

is there when school starts, to pay that for our buses, that scares me,” said Stone.

“We’re going to have a hard time getting better. So, we will end up having to either borrow some money to pay that off as an operational expense or we’ll have to do something drastic, which I don’t think any of us want to do. We don’t want to cut transportation. The price of gas worries me. If gas stays at $5 a gallon when school starts, that will not be a good thing.

We’ll need it to come down some.”

Local tourism suffered slightly in 2020

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Some $10.2 billion in travel related expenses flowed into the Indiana economy in 2020.

That figure was down by more than 25 percent from 2019, due to the pandemic, according to Elaine Bedel, CEO of the Indiana Destination Development Corp.

Bedel addressed Wabash County Commissioners on June 20 to discuss the economic impact of tourism in Indiana.

Of the $10.2 billion, $4.2 billion directly served visitors, “and businesses saw a real value add of that $4.2 billion,” Bedel said.

“Every dollar spent by visitors in Indiana, the state’s economy retains 68 cents,” she continued. “About 42 cents went to pay

Indiana workers, about $4 billion in wages. And 10 cents of every visitor dollar went to pay state and local taxes.”

Without the tourism industry, Hoosier households would have to pay an additional $410 in taxes in order to have the same benefits that tourism is now paying for.

“The total economic impact generated by visitors is $6.9 billion in 2020,” she said.

Locally, Bedel continued, the tourism industry in Wabash County did well in 2020.

Visitors spent $55.8 million in Wabash County in 2020 (the most recent numbers available). That was down $3.2 million from 2019 because of the pandemic.

Tourism also generated $5.2 million in state and local taxes, and 43 cents

City Schools

...continued from Page 2 Sivley said one possible way to relieve stress on the Operations Fund is by relinquishing ownership of one of the district’s brick and mortar assets.

“We’re looking at potentially getting rid of the Ivy Tech building, which, a lot of the expenses there come out of that fund,” she said. Stone concurred.

“That has been a continuous drain,” he said. “If we can get that off the books, that helps us tremendously.”

Ivy Tech Community College reduced its footprint in Wabash in 2018 and donated its building, located at 277 N. Thorne Street in Wabash to WCS. The college first occupied the building in 1995, taking

over the building from WCS. The building was the former West Ward Elementary School and was constructed in 1952.

According to Stone, the building is still being used by the college, some by WCS and as a rental space.

“We have spent about $750,000 on the building and the operations of the building over the past four years (one of the reasons our accounts are where they are, along with being hit with over $2 million in tax cap hits over the past four years),” Stone said in an email.

“We have paid for all of the expenses of the building, and we only have 25 percent of the students taking the dual credit classes,” Stone said.

of every dollar spent by visitors remained in Wabash County.

“A visitor is considered someone who traveled 50 miles to come to your community,” Bedel explained.

“So, this doesn’t include all of the leisure and hospitality revenue that came from existing residents, as well.

It is so important to understand that you’ve got these shops and restaurants and museums and things here, and it is important to have those visitors come. But it’s also part of the quality of life for your individual residents and that’s what attracts people to want to come and live here.

That’s why that is so important.”

What is especially impressive about the local figures, she noted, is that unlike the state’s 25-plus percent decrease from 2019 to 2020, Wabash County only lost a little more than 5 percent in revenue.

“So, you still had people coming and spending dollars here, greater than what the rest of the

state had” Bedel said. “Your county did very, very well, from that perspective, in maintaining and keeping people coming and spending money in your community.”

Tourism spending per capita in Wabash County two years ago was $1,813, ranking the Wabash 19th out of 92 counties.

“So, I think you can see that your county fared very well in 2020, considering the whole state and other counties within the state,” Bedel said.

The Indiana Destination Development Corp. was created in 2019 as a quasi-government agency to replace the Indiana Office of Tourism Development.

Following Bedel’s presentation, Christine Flohr, executive director of Visit Wabash

County, addressed the board.

What is important to note, she told them, is that since 2013 – when the agency first began tracking the numbers – collectively more than $368 million in tourism money was spent in the county.

The agency began receiving partial

funding from Wabash County and the City of Wabash in 2016 and total funding in 2017.

“We have really, at Visit Wabash County, taken that investment significantly and seriously to be good fiscal stewards of that investment,” she said. “Even though

we continue to grow and adapt with our programming, we’ve never asked for additional funding or supplemental funding throughout the year.

“So, it’s really important to for you to know that we do take working within our budget very seriously.”

Killer Queen to make stop in Wabash

By Phil Smith psmith@thepaperofwabash.com British musician Patrick Murphy left home and headed for college in the early 1990s. An avid music fan and aspiring musician, he soon heard that the leader of one of his favorite bands, Freddie Mercury of Queen, had fallen ill.

“When I left home,” said Murphy, 50, “Freddie Mercury was alive and well in my head. I thought he was OK. I didn’t realize he’d been unwell.”

Mercury died of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in November of 1991 at the age of 45. On July 15, Murphy, who hails from Brighton, England, will be stopping by Wabash to continue a decades-long homage to Mercury as the front man of Queen tribute band Killer Queen. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater.

Murphy said he arrived at college and soon began hearing rumblings that maybe all was not well with the musician known worldwide as the voice of such songs as “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions” and “Another One Bites The Dust.”

“Suddenly, he released a statement and within 24 hours, he was gone,” said Murphy.

Within two years of Mercury’s passing, Murphy and a collection of talented musicians were traveling the globe as one of the world’s most successful tribute bands. The inspiration for Killer Queen, touring since 1993, was borne out of Mercury’s prema-

ture passing.

“It happened almost as a result of that really,” said Murphy. “When I left home in the autumn of 1991, tribute bands, as far as I was aware, really didn’t exist.

There was one band that was doing this sort of parody of ABBA that was brilliant and fantastic. But as far as I could see, that was a oneoff.”

Murphy said he felt he belonged to a generation that was just slightly too young to have possibly seen Queen in its heyday. Out of love for the band, and in hopes of providing a close facsimile of what it would have been like to see the foursome of Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor

Patrick Myers, left and Simon Small perform during a concert

by Queen tribute band, Killer Queen. Myers portrays legendary Queen front man Freddie Mercury, while Small mimics the look and sound of iconic Queen guitarist Brian May. Photo courtesy of Killerqueen.com and bassist John Deacon in concert in the 1970s or 1980s, Murphy began to flesh out an idea that would eventually evolve

into the top tribute band in the world in 1999.

“At some point in the weeks and months that followed (Mercury’s

death), I thought ‘we’ll do a concert.’” Murphy said. “We’ll dress up and we’ll do it and I wasn’t sure it was going to work,

because there was no template, there were no other tribute bands doing this. I thought I’d just go for it.”

Not sure whether the idea of a band copying an iconic, established band would be successful, Murphy said he and a collection of fellow collegian musicians took a chance that it would.

“That first show, just blew me away, and I don’t know how we were, musically. It’s impossible for me to be objective about it now. What I do remember, and what I am sure about is that wave of emotion that swept over the whole audience and bowled us over too.

When you play their (Queen) songs live, and when

everyone joins in and sings with you, it’s an extraordinary experience.”

Within a couple years of Mercury’s death, what started out as a tribute show became a worldwide phenomenon.

“We went on to play the same arenas as Queen, and we went on to tour the world, many times over,” said Murphy. “But it all came from just some students who were distraught, sad and upset … we used the music to get to know each other, but also to console each other, because we were just staggered and horrified that Freddie had had to suffer all that, and Freddie was now gone.”

Killer Queen Aside from Murphy, Killer Queen is also made up of three London natives — Simon Smalls on guitar, Jon Howell on drums and Brad Waissman on bass.

Like Murphy, all three musicians resemble, both some in real life and some by transformation, the musicians they portray. Murphy said some of his physical resemblance is manufactured.

“I’ve got this weird thing of being able to look quite like him (Mercury) and look

nothing like him,” Murphy joked.

The local Killer Queen show will come to Wabash just a few months shy of what would have been Mercury’s 76th birthday. As not only a successful musician, but also as a diehard Queen fan, Murphy said he can’t help occasionally entertaining “what if ” thoughts when it comes to his muse.

“Freddie was such a force of creativity,” said Murphy. “He would always be surprising us, and himself,

the cost continues to rise. It has increased by another $500 this year.

The festival has given a donation to help out with the cost. If you would like to donate to the fireworks fund, you can send a donation to Roann Lions Club/Fireworks Fund, P.O. Box 322, Roann, IN 46974.

Despite having won Worldwide Best Tribute Band in 1999, the members of Killer Queen have still never met the surviving members of Queen, May, Taylor and Deacon.

However, the editor of

For Murphy, he said he feels fortunate to still be doing what he’s doing after more than two decades and said the band’s success, is still tied directly to the success of that first show.

“Really, these amazing doors kept on opening for us, and all we had to do was say ‘oh, thank you,’ and walk through them,” he said.

Second volume of LaFontaine history book is in the works

The LaFontaineLiberty Township Volume II history book is at the printer once again.

We had some unforeseen issues with the first printing, which resulted in many errors that required numerous hours of factchecking, editing and corrections.

Organizers are very sorry for the delay, as we are all anxious to get this book across the finish line. Before the first editing, the book was 468 pages, with approximately 250 photographs.

A second copy is being printed and will be edited as soon as possible.

The book will then go to print and will be sent to Indianapolis for the cover and binding process.

There wre 400 copies ordered and more than half of them are reserved.

The book is $25.

Anyone interested in reserving a copy can call Susie Goodpasture at 260981-2033, or Janet Pattee at 260-9812418. Patience is being asked by the producers of the book, who stress that many hours have gone into researching, writing and editing the book. Accuracy is the goal, the book producers stress.

Wabash County Museum: Each month it will highlight a member who loves the museum. The June Member Spotlight features Barbara Amiss.

Barbara has been one of the most active collections volunteer for the last five years. She has been a jack of all trades and has seen a lot of changes at the Wabash County Museum. She has done just about

every type of task there is at the museum for a volunteer from packing up the Mills Bell collection, performing genealogical research, to sorting artifacts from Wabash County’s many clubs and civic organizations.

Less glamorous, but still badly needed, Barbara helped keep the museum clean by battling all of the construction dust when Market Street was completely redone and the museum had no sidewalks. Her favorite and most memorable activity has been creating the veterans photograph collection.

Barbara went through countless issues of The Paper and Wabash Plain Dealer as well as the museum’s photograph collection and ensured that any veterans who had been memorialized in Veterans Day and Memorial Day issues had their names and photographs in a separate file with additional information included. She enjoys doing research at the museum, helping to do genealogical research for local people and assisting with all of the research required for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution.

MISSISSINEWA VALLEY BAND will perform their spring show “Patriotic Pops” on Thursday, June 30 at 7:30 in the Ford Theater at the Honeywell Center. Performing on the concert will be the Mississinewa Valley Concert Band, and the Mississinewa Valley Swing Band. Special

Guest will be vocal soloist Kris Stephens. The bands are now directed by Don Lamb.

JOSIAH WHITES would like to recognize Therapist Greg Hobson for receiving the Bobby Jones Award! Bobby Jones provided significant leadership in the development of IN-AJSOP training and credentialing programs with specific direction and emphasis in the areas of cultural and linguistic competence and respectful customer first service to youth and families. Bobby passed away on April 29th, 2011. In his honor, the IN-ASJOP Board of Directors presents the Bobby Jones award each year at the annual conference. Greg’s nominator said, “He has worked to shape Josiah White’s MAP program from early research and move it into the future by maintaining high standards of treatment services, using the latest research to benefit his clients, and working with his clients to not only be healthier youth, but young men who will eventually be positive fathers, healthy husbands, and productive citizens of their communities. He is an ally, someone willing to confront and challenge, but also come alongside and help his clients heal in ways they never saw possible.”

Congratulations Greg!

Secrets of pulled pork

By Laura Kurella While there are some very essential elements required to render pork into a perfectly “pulled” palate-pleasing sandwich, none are that difficult to master, making it possible for all of us to master it in time for our nation’s birthday!

At its most basic, pulled pork is hog cooked at a medium temperature for a long time, which melts the tough tissues into delicious, juicy flavor, and enables it to be “pulled” easily apart!

In order to achieve this ideal state, pork needs to remain moist throughout a low and slow cooking process.

One secret to keeping pork moist is to select a high fat content cut, such as from the shoulder or butt, with bone in, to add even more fabulous flavor.

Another secret to preventing pork from becoming dry is to select a larger cut of meat. This is because larger cuts reduce the amount of meat being exposed to outside surface heat, which is where dryness occurs.

If you chose two smaller pieces instead of one large, you’d be exposing double the surface area to the air, so you double your odds of it drying out.

To enable both fat and connective tissue to melt into the meat, it needs to be cooked for a long time. To ensure even cooking, and prevent drying, many wrap the meat in foil after a couple of hours of it being cooked and basted in a liquid, such as beer, wine, or even juice. This helps prevent an outer, crispy crust from forming.

However, if you like crispy crust, skip this tip!

When it comes to perfecting cooking times, studies have shown that a six-pound piece of pork shoulder, cooked at about 230 degrees, will reach an internal temperature of about 149 degrees in a couple of hours, and then remain stable at that temperature for

NOTE: This recipe should be started 2 days ahead of time as you need 24 hours in the fridge, 12-14 in the oven and 2 hours of resting.

another six or so hours before eventually rising to 185-200 degrees, at about the 11th or 12th hour, which signals it’s done.

Once cooked, be sure to let your pork rest for at least ten minutes before pulling it apart because the strands need some time to relax, and allow juices to flow back into them, which helps them become extra moist.

Here now are some simple ways to add the precious, slow-cooked flavor to your Fourth of July holiday. Enjoy!

1 tablespoon chili powder 1 extra large onion, chopped 2 large cloves garlic, crushed 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme 8 hamburger buns, split 2 tablespoons butter, or as needed Pour the vegetable oil into the bottom of a slow cooker. Place the pork roast into the slow cooker; pour in the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth. Stir in the brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, onion, garlic, and thyme.

Cover and cook on “LOW” until the roast shreds easily with a fork, 10 to 12 hours.

Remove roast from slow cooker, and shred the meat using two forks. Return shredded pork to slow cooker, and stir the meat into the juices.

Spread the inside of both halves of hamburger buns with butter. Toast the buns, butter side down, in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.

add to the pot, making sure it is completely submerged in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.

Prepare BBQ sauce by combining apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, brown sugar, chili powder, and red pepper flakes in a glass jar. Seal jar then shake to combine. Set in refrigerator until use.

To cook pork, heat oven or indirect heat grill to 225 degrees.

Remove pork from brine and place it in a roasting dish or pan large enough for sides of meat not to touch the pan. Pat meat dry with paper towels.

Remove all but 2 tablespoons of dry rub from plastic bag, and rub meat with seasonings, making sure to cover well, even cracks or flaps. Set aside remaining 2 tablespoons of rub for after the meat is cooked.

With fat side facing up, place a meat thermometer in pork then place in preheated oven or grill. Bake for 12 to14 hours or until thermometer registers 200 degrees in the thickest part of the meat. Turn off heat from oven/grill and let pork rest for two hours, or remove from oven, cover with foil, and allow to rest on the stovetop instead.

Once meat has rested, remove the fat from the top then, using two forks, shred meat and remove bone.

Drain half of the juices out and mix into it the remaining dry rub then pour over meat and toss to coat.

Add prepared barbecue sauce to meat, stir, and serve.

Clever “Pulled BBQ” Carrot Sandwiches So meaty, chewy, and delicious, you must try it!

Prep Time: 15 minutes; Cook Time: 37 minutes; Total Time: 52 minutes Yield: 5 servings 5 large carrots, peeled and shredded 1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced 1/2 teaspoon of avocado oil Fine sea salt and

Joe Leland, a student of St. Bernard from 2006 through 2015, remembers so many fun memories from singing the school song on Monday mornings to start the week through Friday afternoons playing knockout on the basketball hoop during recess and after school.

He went on many interesting field trips through the years, but the one that really stands out was the day he was “Mayor for the Day.” This honor was obtained by his parents getting the highest bid at the annual ball and auction fundraiser.

Joe was able to

spend the day with Mayor Robert Vanlandingham.

The whole school assembled in the parking lot to see him drive off .

After they left St. Bernard, they went down to the mayor’s office for a tour. Then they went to the fire and police stations to see all the equipment and vehicles.

He enjoyed meeting some of the firefighters and police officers of Wabash and learning about their jobs.

Then the mayor took him out to the Wabash Municipal Airport. After a tour of that facility, he was treated to

an airplane ride along with the mayor, the pilot of course, and his parents.

The ride took them over the city and part of the county. Joe remembers how exciting it was to have a bird’s eye view of Wabash — a view he had not had before and still remembers vividly.

After the plane ride was finished, he was treated to the lunch of his choice, then some ice cream.

This August, St. Bernard School will be celebrating its centennial anniversary.

Officials invite all to a special event on Aug. 20.

Looking back on Southwood’s FB title He was wearing No. 24 that day in 2002, but his lucky number – and that of his teammates – was 45.

Southwood was playing for the Class A state football championship when Nick Ehret went from being a slotback to a field goal kicker. The score was tied 14-14 with 1:55 to go in the game at the Hoosier Dome with South Putnam.

Earlier in the game, the senior had scored a touchdown on a 45-yard run and kicked two extra points to bring the Knights back from a 14-0 halftime deficit.

Junior quarterback Jarrod McKee had scored the other third-quarter TD on a 22-yard endaround.

Jeremy Milliner, Southwood’s long snapper, shot the football between his legs to McKee, the holder, and Ehret put his leg and foot into it.

“We knew he had the distance,” Head Coach Terry Siddall said, even though Ehret had missed a shorter attempt earlier in the game. “Before the game he was hitting them from 60 yards out.”

Ironically, I guess, the field goal was for 45 yards.

And it still stands today as the longest field goal in IHSAA Class A football history. The old record was 37 yards.

Nick, who now works for Amazon, is the middle son of Tom and Theresa (Vrooman) Ehret.

Dad played football and baseball at Wabash and Mom is a Northfield graduate.

Tom and I played fastpitch softball for the Dean’s Milk team when I first came to town back in the ‘70s.

With a touchdown, a field goal and two extra points, Nick scored 11 of the Knights’

County Sports Legends Where are they today?

By Roy Church 17 points that day.

He came into the championship game as Southwood’s second- leading scorer with 98 points, fourth-leading rusher, second-leading receiver and fifth-leading tackler.

The winning field goal was only the third he’d made all season.

Senior Bryant Paul, a 5-10, 225pound fullback was the team’s leading scorer (24 TDs in 13 games for 144 points), leading rusher (1,604 yards and 123.3 yards per game) and leading tackler (158). He rushed for 119 yards on 17 carries in the title game, but, again ironically, he didn’t score.

Siddall, a “very rare male special education teacher” (by his own admission), joined the Knights’ staff in 1980 after graduating from Indiana State University.

A native of Logansport, he spent 26 years as a coach at Southwood. Felix Chambers, a “legend” in his own right, was head coach at the time and Dave Wilhelm was an assistant.

Wilhelm became head coach in 1987 and his 1990 squad was runner-up for the Class A championship.

Terry was in his third year as head coach when the Knights put him and themselves in the IHSAA record book for eternity.

His record as Southwood’s head

coach was 36-30.

“We had some pretty slim years after 2002,” he said.

“We could have won back-to-back titles. In 2001 we lost to Southern Wells, 27-19, in the sectional and they went on to win the championship.”

After leaving Southwood, Terry became head coach at Danville and posted a 26-29 record over five seasons. His best year was an 11-2 record in 2007. The team went 7-0 in the Sagamore Conference to win the title and won its first three tournament games before losing to Bishop Chatard.

After Danville, he took an assistant coaching job at Ben Davis for seven years, then retired from teaching but took an assistant’s role at Avon for another four years.

Terry and his wife, Sharon, moved to Danville when he took the job there and still live there. After 42 years of coaching, he now serves as athletic director at the Kingsway Christian School in Avon.

The Siddalls have two sons, Parker and Mason, and two grandsons.

Parker was a junior slotback on the 2002 championship team and 25 of his 102 tackles were for a loss (a team

high). Mason was a freshman lineman.

Having his sons on the team was very special for Terry. “We have memories that we will always treasure,” he said. “Of course, they remember a lot more than I do.

“We had a very senior-dominated team that year,” Terry said, “and we had several very smart players. At least three were honor students.”

Those three were Jeremiah Kellam, a 6-5, 280-pound lineman who walked on at Indiana University instead of accepting a scholarship to Indiana State; Rick Tyson, a 6-3, 255pound lineman who played four years at Butler University, and Brent Kauffman, a 6-1, 190-pound lineman. His dad, Joe, coached my son, Rich, in track at Wabash.

In addition to Ehret and Paul, another standout senior was Andrew Campbell, who led the team in receiving yards with 268 (10 catches and two TDs), was second in tackles with 122 and fourth in scoring 30 points.

Another, tight end Mike Ziner, was third in receiving (nine catches for 116 yards) and tackles (115) and fifth in scoring (20 points). And half-

Former Southwood football coach Terry Siddall. Photo provided back Colby Halderman was runner-up in rushing (618 yards) and third in scoring (36 points.)

In all, there were 11 seniors on the 35-man roster that year.

The team’s only loss that year was to Three Rivers Conference opponent Whitko, 27-0,

in the third game of the season. The Knights blanked Wabash (40-0) and Oak Hill (35-0) during the regular season.

On their way to the Hoosier Dome, the Knights defeated Adams Central (24-13) and Madison-Grant (350) in sectional action, LaVille (34-

15

0) in the regional and Pioneer (34-17) at the semi-state level.

Dave Wilhelm still remembers the struggles Southwood had beating Whitko.

“We always had trouble beating Whitko in that third game of the year.”

Dave had a winning percentage of 69 percent (110-49) during his 14 years as head coach. He and Chambers showed up at the same time at Southwood (1969) and the Knights were in the midst of an 0-27 drought.

In their second year, the team won four games.

Wilhem’s teams also won five Three Rivers Conference titles (1976, 1980, 1992, 1995, 1996).

Dave and Donna (deceased) Wilhelm had two sons, Mike and Matt. Mike, a freshman on the 1990 team, has been the head coach at Yorktown High School for the last 17 years and has a record of 91-93. He was an assistant there the previous five years.

While not win-

ning any Hoosier Heritage Conference titles, Mike’s teams have won two sectional crowns (2008 and 2014). A 1998 graduate of Wabash College, he played four years of football and baseball there.

“I was a freshman in 1990 and had little to do with its success,” Mike said. “I did get to play quarterback the last two plays of the (title) game.”

Mike Campbell, the senior quarterback on that squad, is assistant AD (seven years) and head football coach (17 years) at Greenwood. He was

His team won the Mid-State Conference title in 2012 and was runner-up five other times. His 2017 team won a regional title, but lost to the eventual state champion in the semi-state.

To show you how small this world really is, Mike Campbell’s oldest son, Collin, is Mike Wilhelm’s JV coach at Yorktown.

Dave Snyder, a former player and an assistant coach on the ’90 team, is the current head coach of the

Knights. His record going into his 12th season is 84-44 (.656 PERCENT, second only to Dave Wilhelm). And he won consecutive TRC championships between 2017 and 2020 while posting a 28-1 record.

IHSAA makes changes to basketball tourneys The Executive Committee of the Indiana High School Athletic Association voted on June 23 to make a significant change to the format of the annual boys and girls basketball state.

In its final meeting of the 2021-22 school year, the group of school principals and athletic directors voted 15-2 to make the regional round a single game and

the semi-state round a two-game format beginning with next winter’s tournaments. The previous format of a two-round regional and a single semi-state game had been in place since 2002.

This spring, Commissioner Paul Neidig conducted a survey of principals, athletic directors, boys and girls coaches and 73.4 percent of those 781 respondents

Little City -Whalen, ninth place (58), and Will Parker, tenth place (59).

Gray also won the high school boys competition at Arbor Trace, shooting a two-over-par 74.

Cole Collins was second with 77 and Chambers was third with 80.

Rounding out the top 10 were Parker, fourth place (81), Trent Nelson, fifth place (81), Frey, sixth place (83), William Nelson, seventh place (85), Elkins, eighth place (87), Bryson Ragland, ninth place (100), and Jed Frey, tenth place (105).

Moore shot 77 to capture the high school girls competition.

Second place went to Lytle with an 80, and Cartwright was third with 80.

Kenley McWhirt was fourth with 92, Hannah Wilson was fifth with 103, and Malott was sixth with 107. Kaylee Induntz rounded out the field with a 143.

In Middle School competition, Wynkoop shot a 46 to win the nine-hole competition.

Dobbs, fifth place (49), Luke Buzzard, sixth place (55), Will Parker, seventh place (57), Ayla

voted in favor of the change with at least 70 percent in all four groups approving.

Regional pairings will be drawn and announced at the same time as the traditional sectional pairings with two regional championship games being played at the same site and potentially from different classes.

Another new wrinkle includes conducting an addi-

tional blind draw and announcing the semi-state pairings the day after the regional championship games on IHSAAtv.org.

“We really like the potential of a high-energy atmosphere at the semistate level with a chance to advance to the state championship games the following week at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the home of the Pacers and Fever,” Neidig

Competition moved to Chippendale Golf Course on June 23,

said. “This new format will double the number of teams who play a week longer in the tournament and should create a lot of excitement in those communities and will be financially beneficial for those communities that serve as host sites.”

Tournament host sites will be approved later this fall.

One of Urbana’s own was notified of a Veteran’s Honor Flight to Washington DC. His name is Tom Wilcox.

He received a phone call in the year 2020. The call notified him that there is to be an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. The flight, however, was canceled for two years due to COVID. Tom left in April 2022 on the Honor Flight to Fort Wayne Air Base. He stated that he had to get up at 5 a.m. that morning to arrive on time for departure. When he and the others arrived at the air base they were treated with breakfast and a short program.

The flight number 35, with everyone on board took about an hour and half to arrive. Tom stated that when they arrived in Washington, the fire department had the water cannons going which he thought was very cool. The people that greeted them had boxes of donuts just for the veterans which they enjoyed. Tom stated that every veteran had to have a guardian to help them and to make sure the day went well. There were enough vets to fill three buses. Tom’s grandson was his guardian and his name is Andrew.

Tom said the first stop was at the World War II Memorial. When the buses arrived,

URBANA

they would not let the veterans off, instead they allowed the guardians off first.

Tom said this was so the guardians would get the wheelchairs for the vets to ride in whether they needed one or not. It was kind of a mandatory tradition.

After unloading the buses, the veterans were then greeted by several politicians. There was a whole lot of hand shacking and pictures being taken. Politicians, you know what I mean, Tom said.

They visited the Unknown Soldier Memorial and watched the changing of the guard.

Tom stated that was very profound in each soldiers’ movement, you should see it if you can, Tom said.

Later that day, before they departed the vets met at the Air Memorial and watched the Honor Guard and their rifle exhibition. If you have not watched this or seen this on any internet site, you really need to see this, the action is astounding. After the Honor Guard was done, Tom was

able to talk with one of them.

Tom doesn’t remember his name but he does however remember how tall the Guard was. Tom said he stood proud in uniform 6 foot, 7 inches. Tom stated that he stands 6 foot and still had to look up at this soldier in proud uniform.

At the Air Memorial they were treated with the evening meal of chicken pot pie.

Tom said it was so hot he could not eat it all. The flight left Washington around 8 p.m. and on the flight home the attendants held what they called, Mail Call. The vets received letters from all around the nation from kids and adults thanking the veterans for the sacrifice and service.

Tom read one that he had kept and it reads as follows: “Thank you for your service.

I’m giving you this string with knots for you to hold on to in times of need.

Gum, for sticking in there and never giving up. Snickers, for laughter with the medical staff.

Lollipop for bringing out the kid in you. Band-aid for the tender loving care you deserve.

Clothes pin for hanging in there.

Tootsie Roll for when you are rolling around to protect yourself.

Rubber band for stretching to your limits. Golden Nugget for your weight in gold and Hugs and Kisses

for we care and say thank and my God Bless you.”

Tom graduated from Urbana High School in 1957. He was then drafted into the U.S Army in 1961. He was in for two years as a security agent and rank Spec 4. Tom said he still doesn’t know what security agent is and probably never will.

He also said Max Chamberlain who has passed away a couple of years ago was one of these security agents.

Max told him a while back that he never knew what this was either.

Tom met his wife to be at the county 4H fair. Her name is Joyce and she graduated for Somerset High School and was attending Manchester College at the time. They married in 1960.

Together they had three boys Chuck who now lives in Ohio. Gary, Tom jokingly said, he lives in my front yard and Robert who lives in Somerset on his wife’s great-greatgrandparents property.

This was a day in which Tom will always remember. I think of the veterans and what they have gone through for this country and how unworldly a lot of them are treated to this day. I and Bonita are vets ourselves and we are proud to have served and I’m very, very thankful a lot of these people that had felt the need to serve this nation. For this I

honor them all in my prayers. My prayers consist of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Those who are disabled in mind and body and those who are serving now, men and women. The way the vets are treated today is appalling. I truly wish there was more I could do. So I’ll keep everyone in my prayers and honor you every day. This I promise. May God bless you and keep you safe. Sorry Tom this was to be in last weeks paper.

Sorry for the delay.

Attention Veterans: if by chance you need to get to a medical facility for your appointment and you need a way, call 765-251-5908 D.A.V. Transportation to schedule MondayFriday 8AM –Noon.

This is free transportation for all veterans to VA Medical Facilities.

My God bless you Veterans for your service and give them a call today.

Prayer concerns: Marilyn Karns, Julie Miller, John Eltzroth, Eileen Weck, Alma DeVore, Phyllis Baker, Ron Baer, Duane Wagner, Kim and Brian Frank, Nancy Christie, Larry Meyer, Ruth Summers, Paxton Wright, Jim and Pat Hartley, Coy Eads and his parents and sisters, Joni Fox, our Nation and the leaders, our military personnel, our frontline responders and health

providers. If anyone would like to have their name added or removed from prayer concerns, please contact me.

The Breakfast Bunch met at the Fried Egg on June 22, 2022 around 7:30. They try to meet every Wednesday and have breakfast together and talk about what is happening. Those attending were Tom and Joyce Wilcox, Larry and Nancy Meyers and Pat McNabney.
