‘Every last tire; Every last ton’ Volunteers work to Clean out the Banks

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com “Every last tire; Every last ton.”

Michael Beauchamp led volunteers for Saturday’s Clean Out the Banks event in that chant before the clean out began.

“This is going to be a great day,” he said. “We’re going to make history today. This is the largest volunteer clean out in Indiana, and probably the largest clean out in the United States and North America.

“The word volunteer is the key here. It’s because of all of you and the hundreds and hundreds of people over the past decade that made this possible.”

Since its inception, volunteers have removed 154 tons of debris and 5,284 tires from the Wabash River.

“That is a whale of an effort, and it’s due to volunteers just like you,” Beauchamp said. “But that’s not the end of it. We’re going to make history today because we’re going to attempt to take out every last tire and every last ton.”

Before the work began, several awards were presented.

Beauchamp received the Ted Falls Memorial Environmental Award from the Izaak Walton League.

The award is the highest award possible from the Indiana Division for a non-member, Benny Ward president of the local Izaak Walton League, said. It honors the recipient for the work they have done for the environment.

Beauchamp was nominated for his efforts in organizing the clean out program.

“I would like to accept this award on behalf of the hundreds and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people who do the work,” he said.

Beauchamp presented the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash award to representatives of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Former congressman indicted

By Amy Graham-McCarty nreditor@hoosiermediagroup.com Former U.S. Congressman Stephen Buyer has been indicted on federal charges of insider trading in Manhattan.

Buyer, formerly of Rensselaer and a graduate of North White High School, is a Republican who represented Indiana’s Fifth Congressional District from 1993– 2003 and its Fourth Congressional District from 20032011. He formerly represented Wabash County in the Fourth Congressional District.

In a case that alleges encrypted emails, cover-ups, and profits of more than $349,846.61, prosecutors say Buyer obtained

STEPHEN BUYER

Material NonPublic Information (MNPI) in connection with two corporate mergers relating to his consulting work, TMobile/Sprint and Guidehouse/Navig ant. They also allege that Buyer tried to cover up his insider trading by, among other things, providing false and misleading information to representatives of one of the companies for which he consulted in connection with its inquiry into his

trading.

The Securities and Exchange Commission filed the complaint which charges Buyer with violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaint seeks disgorgement of illgotten gains plus interest, penalties, a permanent injunction, and an officer and director bar against Buyer.

The complaint also seeks disgorgement from Buyer’s wife, Joni Lynn Buyer, who profited when Buyer executed unlawful trades in her brokerage account. In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York today announced related criminal charges.

“When insiders

like Buyer – an attorney, a former prosecutor, and a retired Congressman – monetize their access to material, nonpublic information, as alleged in this case, they not only violate the federal securities laws but also undermine

public trust and confidence in the fairness of our markets,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC Enforcement Division. “We are committed to doing all we can to maintain and enhance Cont. on Pg. 5.

Wabash Pizza King under new ownership Generations Pizza, LLC has announced the recent purchase of Wabash Pizza King from Billy and Kim Osborne effective July 22, 2022. Coowned by brother and sister duo, Joe Schuler and Abby Waldon, the business will operate under the name Pizza King Wabash. Schuler and Waldon will work with Osborne over the next few months to ensure a smooth transition.

“Kim (Osborne) has been tremendously supportive through the entire purchasing process,” said Waldon. “Pizza King holds a special place in the heart of my family.

We’ve seen firsthand how important the silent heroes are.”

The drive is slated for Aug. 9 from 2 to 7 p.m. in the Manchester Church of the Brethren, 1306 Beckley Street, North Manchester.

According to the Adamiecs, August will be a big month for the youngster who was diagnosed with high-risk Neuroblastoma on April 18, 2021.

“He received many blood transfusions during treatment — as many as nine in one week,” said Jade in a press release.

“Throughout his battle, he faced every treatment with a can-do attitude. He went above and beyond everything that was asked of him.”

with his friend for several years and we are honored to have the business back in our family.”

Pizza King first opened in Wabash in 1971 and closed in 1975. The business saw a rebirth in 1985 when it was reopened by close friends Dave McVicker and the late John Schuler.

The business changed hands a few more times before Osborne was hired in 2000. She managed the business for 8 years before buying the business in 2008.

“I have poured my heart and soul into Wabash Pizza King and cannot thank my customers enough for the support they have shown me for

the last 14 years,” said Osborne. “My children worked and helped manage Pizza King throughout the years, too. It wouldn’t have been as successful without them by my side, but it is time to hand over the keys.

I have zero doubt that Joe and Abby will have any trouble continuing the Wabash-tradition that Pizza King is for so many.”

Currently, Schuler and Waldon do not have plans to make significant changes to the menu or the hours of operation.

“One of the easiest things about buying this business is that it is already successful and established,”

The former and new owners of Wabash Pizza King (from left) Billy Osborne, Kim Osborne, Abby Waldon, Joe Schuler. Photo provided said Schuler. “Kim is an ace when it comes to running Pizza King. We want to learn from her as much as possible.”

Although the

location and façade of the business has changed over the years, the ‘Ring the King’ slogan has stayed the same.

“Joe and I believe in this community

and the Pizza King brand,” said Waldon. “We think our dad would be proud of us if he were still alive and we are excited to continue serving

Wabash and surrounding areas with the same level of excellence everyone has experienced at Pizza King.”

Former congressman indicted for illegally profiting from his access.”

Monticello resident and County Council member Jan Faker who worked in Buyer’s office for 17 years said she was “shocked and disappointed” at learning of the indictment.

“The 17 years I spent on staff with Congressman Buyer were some of the best professional years of my life.

I’m proud of the service his staff provided and the number of constituents we were able to assist with difficulties with federal agencies was remarkable.

That record will always remain.

Steve and Joni are in our prayers,” Faker said.

Over the course of seven years, 1993-2011, during Buyer’s time in

Congress, court documents state he served on the committee on Energy and Commerce and its subcommittee on Communications and Technology, which had oversight over the telecommunications industry.

Buyer also served on the committee on Veterans’ Affairs and the House Armed Services Committee. After leaving Congress, Buyer and a partner started a consulting firm.

Buyer’s consulting work largely focused on areas in which he had gained expertise in Congress – the telecommunications industry and issues involving the United States Departments of Veterans Affairs and the United States Department of Defense.

T-Moble/Sprint It is alleged that from 2016-2022, Buyer provided consulting services to T-Mobile.

Around April 29, 2018, Sprint and TMobile publicly announced that they would enter into a business combination agreement, commonly known as a merger.

Prosecutors allege that from at least March 29, 2018, through April 5, 2018, Buyer, misappropriated MNPI that he learned through his consulting work for TMobile and, in violation of duties he owed to T-Mobile, used that MNPI to make timely, profitable trades in Sprint stock in advance of the April 29, 2018 announcement of the mergers of Sprint and TMobile.

“From on or

about March 29, 2018, through on or about April 5, 2018, Buyer purchased a total of 112,675 shares of Sprint stock across four different brokerage accounts. Before those trades, Buyer had never purchased Sprint stock in those accounts.

In or about August 2018, Buyer sold the Sprint stock he had purchased in all four brokerage accounts for a profit of approximately $126,404,” court documents state.

“In or about March 2018, members of T-Mobile’s legal department informed certain executives in TMobile’s Government Affairs group that discussion about a merger of Sprint and T-Mobile, which had previously been abandoned, had been renewed.

...continued from Page 2 “The possibility of a merger was highly confidential, but T-Mobile’s Government Affairs executives were authorized to mobilize a small, trusted group of lobbyists to develop a strategy for securing regulatory approvals and other forms of support for the merger.

Buyer had a business and social relationship with one of those Government Affairs executives.”

Court documents further state that around late March of 2018, the executive was made aware of the renewed merger discussions between the two companies and allegedly spoke on the telephone with Buyer each of the preceding two days, as well as on March 28, 2018.

“Also on March

28, 2018, Buyer and the executive played golf together during a golf trip they took to Miami, Florida. On the morning of March 29, 2018, Buyer purchased approximately 42,675 shares of Sprint in three different trading accounts at a price

of approximately $4.84 per share.

One of those trading accounts was shared jointly between Buyer and a relative whom (he) had caused to make an investment that lost the relative hundreds of thousands of dollars, which Cont. on Pg. 6.

The Paper of Wabash County

Former congressman indicted Buyer had promised to pay back by generating trading profits.

“Another one of those accounts was held in the name of a woman with whom Buyer previously had a romantic relationship and with whom he remained close friends,” according to court documents.

Before the March 29, 2018 purchases of Sprint stock, prosecutors allege the woman’s account had not been used to purchase or sell any individual securities. They also allege that “In an effort to furnish a seemingly innocuous cover story for his purchases of Sprint, on or about April 2, 2018, Buyer printed records regarding Sprint from a stock research website and made notes to himself purporting to speculate regarding the likelihood of an acquisition.

On about April 3, 2018, Buyer purchased an additional 10,000 shares of Sprint in his own account at a price of approximately $4.94 per share.”

Prosecutors say that on April 4, 2019, Buyer received an email inviting him to an April 16, 2018 meeting regarding the merger of Sprint and T-Mobile entitled “Meeting re: Business Update.”

And around April 5, 2018, it is alleged that Buyer purchased an additional 60,000 shares of Sprint in his own account, at a price of approximately $5.20 per share.

News of the potential TMobile/Sprint merger was reported by news outlets around April 10, 2018. On that day, Sprint stock closed at $6.02 per share, up from the previous day’s closing price of $5.14 per share.

“On or about April 29, 2018,

Sprint and TMobile announced that they had executed a business combination agreement in a deal that would value Sprint stock at $6.62 per share. On or about August 2018, Buyer, sold shares of Sprint in all four accounts for a total gain of over $126,000,” court documents allege.

Navigant Prosecutors allege that from at least June 13, 2019, through Aug. 1, 2019, Buyer misappropriated MNPI he learned through his consulting work for Guidehouse and, in violation of duties he owed to Guidehouse, used that MNPI to make timely trades in Navigant stock in advance of the Aug. 2, 2019 announcement that the company would acquire Navigant in a deal valued at approximately $1.1 billion.

Guidehouse was a private company based in Washington, D.C., that provided management and technology consulting services to government clients, including federal agencies.

Guidehouse was previously a part of the international professional service firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC), handling its United States public sector business.

Guidehouse separated from PwC in July 2018 after the private equity firm Veritas Capital (Veritas) acquired Guidehouse from PwC. Buyer provided consulting services to Guidehouse and its predecessor from around January 2016 through November 2019, including connection with matters involving the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs, according to court documents.

It is alleged that

from June 12, 2019, through Aug. 1, 2019, Buyer purchased a total of 46,654 shares of Navigant stock across six different brokerage accounts. Before those trades, Buyer had never purchased Navigant stock in those accounts, according to court documents. Around Aug. 2, 2019, Buyer allegedly sold substantially all of the Navigant stock for a profit of over $233,000.

“On or about March 2019, the Board of Directors of Navigant authorized an investment bank to launch a bid process for its sale.

The Investment Bank contacted multiple potential acquirers in March and April of 2019.

The possibility of an acquisition was highly confidential, and each of the potential acquirers was required to sign a non-disclosure agreement with Navigant. One of the potential acquirers was Veritas, the private equity firm that owned Guidehouse.”

According to court documents, one of the primary contacts of Buyer at Guidehouse was a partner in Guidehouse’s healthcare group.

The partner was aware of the potential acquisition around April 2019.

“On or about June 6, 2019, the Investment Bank directed three potential acquirers, including Veritas, to submit final, binding proposals regarding the acquisition of Navigant by no later than July 9, 2019. During the evening of June 12, 2019, the partner sent an email to a sales leader at Guidehouse, who was a contact of Buyer’s, seeking information on revenue synergies that the acquisition

could create. The email referenced a potential ‘combination.’ Shortly after that, the salesperson called Buyer and they spoke for approximately five minutes. The salesperson then called the partner with a partial response to their question. The salesperson and Buyer spoke three additional times that evening,” documents allege.

“Within several hours of the June 12, 2019 communication, Buyer had used the information he learned during his confidential conversation with the salesperson to determine Guidehouse intended to purchase Navigant.

Shortly after 1 a.m. on the morning of June 13, 2019, Buyer searched for Navigant’s ticker

August 3, 2022

...continued from Page 5 on a brokerage website. Several hours later, at 8:44 am. On June 13, 2019, Buyer emailed himself an analyst report from a website listing Navigant as a strong stock pick.

At 9:54 a.m. that day, Buyer emailed the analyst report to his son, with whom he shared a trading account and wrote that he was “thinking of buying” Naviant stock.”

Prosecutors allege that this behavior is consistent with Buyer’s earlier use of the website, and records in connection with his alleged insider trading of Sprint stock.

“Buyer sent these emails in an effort to conceal his intent to trade on MNPI by creating

the appearance of an innocent basis for his trading,” court documents state. “Buyer did not wait for his son to respond to his 9:54 am. email, rather at 10:06 a.m., Buyer purchased a total of 28,300 shares of Navigant across three brokerage accounts, including the account he shared with his son, at prices ranging from $22.40 to $22.51 per share.

Buyer continued trading in Navigant through on or about Aug. 1, 2019.

The trades were placed in six accounts, including an account in his wife’s name, the account he shared with his son, and the account for (his relative).”

According to prosecutors, between the time

the individual account was opened around 2017 and the time of the 2019 Navigant trades in their account, the only other securities purchased or sold in the account were Sprint shares.

Around Aug. 2, 2019, Guidehouse announced it had agreed to acquire Navigant for $28 per share, Navigant’s stock price closed at $28.06 per share, an approximate increase of 17 percent over the Aug. 1, 2019 closing price of $24.02 per share.

Buyer is being charged with four counts of securities fraud, two in connection with TMobile/Spring stock purchases and sales, and two connected to Guidehouse/Navig ant.

County represented at 2 trade shows

Wabash County was in the global spotlight this summer when members of the Grow Wabash County team, attended the Hannover Messe trade show in Hanover, Germany as well as the Select USA trade show in Washington, DC. During their first trip, which took them to Germany and Italy, Wabash Mayor Scott Long, Keith Gillenwater and Tenille Zartman, held meetings with various European companies looking to expand and/or relocate their operations to the United States.

“As mayor, I cannot sit back and wait for a company to ‘knock’ on Wabash’s door to locate here,” Long said. “I travelled to Hannover Messe to make introductions to various companies from throughout Europe. The meetings that we

held with representatives of these companies were productive, and this is the first step in attracting Foreign Direct Investment into Wabash and Wabash County. I anticipate more trips such as this will occur in the future to keep the lines of communication open with companies seeking to invest in the United States.”

In addition to meeting with multiple companies during the trade show, the group also traveled to Italy to meet with the leadership team at Hello Nature, a company which recently announced its plans to build a 300,000 square-foot facility in Wabash County to house their BioNutrients operation, which was the result of Hello Nature’s partnership with MPS Egg Farms.

Shortly after their return from

Europe, Gillenwater and Zartman represented Wabash County at the Select USA trade show in Washington DC where they again met with companies looking to locate and/or expand into the United States, many eager to learn about what Wabash County had to offer them and their businesses.

The meetings held by the team throughout these two trips, as well as meetings taking place here in Wabash County because of those visits, are all part of a robust foreign direct investment (FDI) strategy that was developed as a result of the tremendous support Grow Wabash County received through their “Growth Starts Here” capital campaign.

In collaboration with Navigator

Duke Energy Foundation awards microgrants The Duke Energy Foundation is awarding more than $175,000 in microgrants to support 47 local emergency management agencies across the company’s Indiana service territory.

Wabash Country will receive $5,000.

The funding is designed to help public safety agencies increase their resiliency to severe weather events and other emergencies through advanced preparation, planning, equipment, and training.

The grants will help fund search and rescue K-9s, the installation of tornado sirens, search and rescue programs for “at-risk” individuals, volunteer training, and

various emergency preparedness and response programs.

During major emergencies and natural disasters, local emergency management agencies play a critical role in providing information, resources and support that Duke Energy relies on to speed power restoration for its customers.

“At Duke Energy, we put safety first in everything we do – and we’re commit-

ted to helping our local emergency management agencies prepare to respond in any type of emergency situation,” said Stan Pinegar, president of Duke Energy Indiana.

“We know that successful emergency preparedness and recovery begins and ends at the local level.”

Suspected gunman has Marion ties

By Ed Breen The man charged with the fatal shooting of an Elwood police officer early Sunday morning has been identified as a man with long ties to Marion, including, most recently, the opening of a barbershop at Sixth and Washington streets in downtown Marion.

Elwood police officer Noah Shahnavaz, 24, was fatally shot about 2 a.m. Sunday after he made a traffic stop on Ind. 37 at Madison County Road 1100 North.

The officer who had been on the Elwood police force for less than a year was transferred to an Indianapolis Hospital, where he was declared dead.

Police later arrested Carl Roy

Webb Boards II, 42, and charged him with the shooting.

He is known in Marion as Carl Webb, although police had preliminarily identified him as an Anderson resident and are identifying him as Carl Boards.

Investigators say Boards fled from the scene of the shooting, and the suspect’s vehicle was seen after 2:30 a.m. in Hamilton

County near Ind. 37 and 142nd Street in Noblesville.

Fishers police were able to stop Boards’ vehicle on I-69 near Ind. 37.

Boards was taken into custody and is being held without bond in the Hamilton County Jail. He is facing charges of murder, possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, and resisting law enforcement.

WACT to host open house on Aug. 7 After searching for more than two decades, a local arts nonprofit organization is ready to finally show off its new facility to the community.

Wabash Area Community Theater (WACT) will host a public open house in early August to show the transformation of the South Side property.

Situated at 16201640 S. Wabash St., Wabash, what has been dubbed “The WACTory” by the organization’s Board of Directors will be the location of the event, which will include guided tours, live entertainment for visitors and a backstage look at the set for WACT’s upcoming fall musical, “Guys and Dolls.”

The event will take place from 6-7 p.m.

Sunday, Aug. 7.

In February 2021, after a brief opening fundraiser to secure donations to purchase the former flea market building, WACT closed on the 0.63acre plot of land, one that includes two structures that currently house its administrative offices, a set-building area, costume shoppe and storage for props, set pieces, paint and more.

The larger structure features nearly 10,000 square foot of space in five dis-

The Wabash Area Community Theater’s new headquarters (top photo) is located at 1620-1640 S. Wabash St. It will be the site of an open house on Sunday, Aug. 7. Among the things in the new facility (right photo) is a costume room. Photos provided tinct spaces. A separate 1,260-squarefoot pole frame building is also situated on the property, which also features a large parking lot.

“When we were first looking into the property in late 2020, we were coming off of several other properties that year that we didn’t acquire for one reason or another. We were really frustrated,” WACT Board President Bev Vanderpool said.

“At that time, the main building was filled with piles of random items.

Thankfully, the previous owner was nice enough to sell or dispose of nearly all of it, saving us a lot of work.”

Over the past 18 months, a collection of WACT Board members

and friends of the organization have invested thousands of dollars and hundreds of man hours into cleaning, restoring and transforming the new home.

“We’re looking forward to showing people how much love and care we’ve put into this property,” WACT Board Vice President Eric Seaman added.

“From the basics like mowing to creating a 16,000square-foot, insulated costume shoppe from scratch, we’re wanting to not only share our success with the community, but invite them to be a part of it.”

In the beginning, the WACT Board determined that it would need $200,000 to not only purchase the property through a local

institutional loan, but to also secure funds for current and future upgrades, things like an HVAC system, a new parking lot and office equipment. At this time, there’s an anonymous donor who’s willing to finish off the building’s mortgage once there’s only $25,000 left to raise.

Perk up those ears!

By Laura Kurella

According to Lillian Eichler Watson’s 1921 etiquette book, corn on the cob is, “Without a doubt one of the most difficult foods to eat gracefully.” Cutting or scraping the kernels from the cob was by far, according to her, the most satisfactory method of eating corn on the cob, especially for those who like to strictly adhere to proper etiquette rules!

I’m grateful my mom wasn’t a stickler, at least when it came to eating corn because there is nothing more special than ripping those melt-in-yourmouth kernels right from the cob!

I also remember Mom always being anxious to get the corn cooked as soon as possible after buying it from the farm stand because she said that corn’s sugar starts to turn to an unpleasant starch practically from the moment it gets picked.

Looking into it, I found that Mom was right. Corn does indeed start converting its sugar into starch and can lose up to 25% of its natural sweetness within twenty-four hours of picking.

Therefore, be sure to visit your local farmer as close to the day you plan to cook and serve it as possible.

Buying corn while it’s super fresh will not only give you its most amazing flavor, but also save on cost, especially if you buy plenty and freeze some to savor all winter through!

Since corn is a grain, not a vegetable, there’s no need to blanch it before freezing.

Simply choose

There’s nothing quite like a fresh-picked ear of corn, which helps to make fabulously flavored recipes taste that much better.

whether or not to leave it on the cob then pop it in the freezer. It could not be simpler!

During this last stretch of summer, corn is at its full ripeness and sweetness and is beyond versatile when it comes to cooking with it.

If you’ve got a bounty of ears just waiting to be shucked, you’re in luck because Carey Bringle, Nashville’s award-winning pit master and bourbon-ager of Peg Leg Porker, a muststop barbecue spot, Is sharing one of his most popular corn recipes with us today!

Sweet, spicy, creamy, and tangy, his grilled Mexican street corn, known as elotes, has it all!

Carey’s version of elotes is off the cob, and has a subtle smokiness from the grill, giving it the flavor even more depth.

I’m pairing his recipe with a couple other unique

ways to indulge in the amazing flavor of fresh-picked corn, while it’s still here. Enjoy!

Laura Kurella is an award-winning food columnist and recipe developer who loves to share recipes from her Midwest kitchen.

She welcomes comments at laurakurella@yahoo.co m.

Peg Leg Porker Grilled Mexican Street Corn Prep time: 10 minutes; Cook time: 20 to 25 minutes; Total time: 30 to 35 minutes Yield: 4-6 servings 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 6 ears) 1/2 of a jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 teaspoon chili powder or Peg Leg Porker seasoning 3/4 cup crumbled

queso fresco or Mexican cheese 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1. Fire up your grill and cook your cobs. I prefer a grill for that smokey flavor, but you can stove, or microwave cook them too, if necessary, or use canned corn.

2. After you cook the corn, you will need to cut it off the cob then place in a frying pan with the jalapeño and cook with a tablespoon of butter, lightly stirring, until lightly charred (about 3-4 minutes). Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, crema (or sour cream), lime juice, chili powder and queso fresco.

Combine all ingredients.

3. Spread the mixture in an oven safe pan, and top with the remaining 1/4 cup queso fresco and sprinkle with cayenne. Bake until the cheese melts

and the outer edges begin to bubble, about 12 minutes.

Garnish with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.

Special Skillet Corn Prep time: 10 minutes; Cook time: 30 minutes; Total time: 40 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings 1/2-pound bacon, chopped 1 small, sweet onion, chopped 1 small bell pep-

per, chopped 2 cups corn kernels (about 6 ears) salt and pepper to taste In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until it starts to brown, but still soft then add onion.

Cook until onions are tender and start to caramelize, about 10 minutes.

Add pepper and cook for a few minutes then reduce heat to low, add corn into skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes.

Salt and pepper, to taste, if desired.

Incredible Cob-roasted Corn Active: 10 minutes; Roast time: 20 to 25 minutes; Total time: 30 to 35 minutes.

Yield: Serves 4 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flatleaf parsley

2 medium garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme 3/4 teaspoon unrefined mineral sea salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 4 ears fresh corn, husks removed Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine butter, parsley, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Spread approximately one tablespoon of the herb butter mixture onto each corn cob then wrap each cob individually in foil.

Place on a baking sheet then place in in preheated oven and bake until corn is soft, about 20 to 25 minutes, turning cobs once halfway through cook time.

Remove corn from foil, and serve

Clean Out the Banks The Army Corps makes the program possible.

“We couldn’t have done a lot of things without the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,” he said. “They set the river for us so that the flow and the height is right for cleaning out the banks.

“It doesn’t just happen that the river is just right every year. The Corps of Engineers does that.”

He also presented a traveling award – a gnome yard statue found in the river during the first Clean Out the Banks events – to Lagro resident Bobby Cash, who has volunteered with the program since it first began.

Beauchamp called Cash “the king of debris and the king of recycling.”

Cash works at the lower level of Paradise Spring, overseeing efforts to separate the various debris pulled from the river.

Jen Rankin, director of the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District, also thanked the Army Corps representatives for their efforts.

“We couldn’t do any of these last 12 clean outs without them,” she said.

“Thank you, very, very much.”

If you haven’t noticed, the wooden benches in downtown have been painted. It was time they needed some special care.

We are thankful for the donation of those benches several years ago by Rex Temple.

The tan benches in front of the community building and by the log cabin are benches made of recycled plastic caps and donated by a member of the Dyson family who makes these benches.

There is now a picnic table, also donated, sitting at the log cabin park where people can go sit, maybe eat their lunch, or just enjoy the little town atmosphere.

Thank you for the donations.

We are also thankful for the Lions Club and the Heritage Group who continue to do projects to keep our town looking good for those who come to visit. The Main Street Light Project hopefully will start soon after the Roann Covered Bridge Festival is over.

The project will begin on the west side of the down-

town business area.

The entire sidewalk on that side will be torn out and new streetlights and sidewalks installed.

This will take a few weeks so please be patient, and careful, as the men are working in that area. This is a big project that is very costly, but we are getting there.

The Heritage Group has applied for a grant to help with the cost.

Donations are also greatly appreciated. Contractors from the Roann area will be doing the work and have been very generous keeping the cost down as much as possible.

You don’t need to be a member of any organization to help keep Roann looking good!

Anyone can pick up trash; pull weeds along the curb; water the flowers,

etc. We all need to work together to keep Roann a pleasant place to visit.

THE ROANN Covered Bridge Festival is just a few weeks away, Sept. 8-10. The theme this year is “Farmers: Our Homegrown Heroes.” It should be a fun theme for our farming community, and for the parade. The committee has everything put together and ready to go!

The schedule is complete and at The Paper for printing of the brochures.

It takes quite a crew to get things in place for festival week. And, our crew is small; we can always use extra help. We start on Tuesday or Wednesday, usually work early evenings. We have three stages to put in place, with canopies over two of them, bleachers and trash cans, with liners, etc.

During the festival, we can always use a few extra hands for moving sound systems, chairs and tables. The biggest need is dumping the trash into the town truck each

night about 10:30pm. If you would be able to help out, please call 765-833-5663.

FESTIVAL TRACTOR Pull Schedule Announced: OK y’all, I know we haven’t posted much lately. We’re going to have a huge weekend of pulling at The Covered Bridge Festival! Normally, we would only have one night of big pulling action.

This year organizers decided to have the big pull on Friday and Saturday. They are having memorial pulls for two great men from the community who are part of the reason there is tractor pulling in Roann.

It’s going to be a huge couple days of pulling.

Here’s the list of events that will be going on: Thursday, Sept. 8, 7pm – IGTPA Garden Tractor pulls.

Friday, Sept. 9, 7pm – Russell Krom Memorial Pull, Hot Farm tractors, Super Stock tractors, Single Engine Modified Rails, 2wd super stock trucks,

4wd trucks, 4wd diesel trucks.

Saturday, Sept. 10 – Horse pull, 10am; Antique Tractor pull, 1-4:30pm; Starting at 7pm – Jim Krom Memorial Pull, Hot Farm tractors, Super Stock tractors, Single Engine Modified Rails, 2wd Super Stock trucks, 4wd trucks, 4wd diesel trucks.

Please don’t hesitate to share this and then come out and spend the weekend in Roann.

There are food and booths uptown.

Then come down and watch the pulls! There will be a concession trailer at the pull field all weekend.

ROANN SCHOOL: I need to correct some information on Roann School. The high school was closed in 1962 but the elementary continued in operation for several years until Metro North was built.

PASTOR BALMER of the Roann United Methodist Church sermon for Aug. 7 will be from James 1:2-4, 12 titled “Persevere under Trial”. Holy Communion will be observed and our

ECHO Racing track officials had their 2nd annual Adult Slot Car Racing Championships on Saturday, July 23, at the Urbana Community Building. There were some new drivers that understood what H-O slot cars were but still it took a little time for them to get accustomed to the track.

Track officials let the drivers practice on different lanes before the races started. The reason for letting them practice was to show them that each lane and car has its very own attitude. After they practiced for a while qualifications were held and times were set.

The drivers felt they were ready to race and ECHO Track Official Matt proceeded to line up the heat races and who would race whom according to the track qualifications.

While Matt was totaling the times, we had a visitor from Greentown.

His name is Norm Zrenner. He owns and runs a shop in Greentown that deals with all scales of trains and slot cars from H-O to 1/24 scale. Norm can order anything you would like to get to go with your trains or slot cars. I believe he has radio control items as well.

The Heat Races that were very intense and there

URBANA

ECHO Racing has 2nd adult event Michael Snell 260-774-3665 pinkynova71@ hotmail.com

were several close finishes. The Heat Races ran in 10 lap increments. They would race each other for the best out of five races.

The winners would then move on to the sudden death races.

These sudden death races were 10 laps in length and there were four drivers left to run the best out of five. By the time this was all but over ECHO had a tie for first place.

This is where those two drivers would move onto the Trophy Race.

The final race of the session would be raced by Even Hall and Jim Hall.

This race was a 10 lap, one race segment to see who would be Top Adult Race Champion.

The championship was won by Jim Hall on the very last lap. The race was tight on all 10 laps. Both cars were changing leads on every lap and on the final lap and the last curve Even’s car came off the track just as they entered the very last curve.

Thus handing the win to Jim Hall.

ECHO Track Officials would like to congratulate Jim

on his win and the other drivers for participating in this slot car sport.

We are ECHO Racing.

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 8a.m. – 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.

T he Breakfast Bunch met at the Fried Egg on July 27, 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, Steve Gilbert, Marcia Snook Helen Dawes and Pat McNabney.

Come on down and join in on the fun.

The Urbana Streetlights: The committee is asking for your help in acquiring funds for the streetlights.

The population of Urbana has dropped tremendously and Duke Energy has raised the cost of the lights again for the third time this year. When I took over the monthly payments on the streetlight back in 2017-18 the cost was

around $166 a month. Today the cost is $188.90. The cost is around $2,260.00 a year and still going up.

I’m asking Urbana to step up and help to raise funds for our lights. I will be sending out postcards here very quickly and I will be asking for each household for $20 whatever you can give would be much appreciated.

I will be holding my third Annual Tenderloin Fry on Sept. 24, 2022 at the Urbana Ballpark 47 p.m. For $10 you will gettwo tenderloins in one meal. I could use your support on this streetlight fund raising event, Urbana.

Later this year I will also be putting on my 21st Annual Urbana Halloween Car & Truck Show in October to help raise funds for the lights. You may think that these fund raisers will handle the monthly cost, but boy do I have news for you.

By the time I buy the loins, carryout trays and the extra goodies that is to go with the meal and pay for the outfit to fry them up, I don’t make a whole lot of money for the lights.

My Halloween Show is a help but I have expenses here as well. By the time I pay for the awards, dash plaques, door prizes and DJ I don’t make a whole lot here and the weather plays a BIG part in how many cars I have.

That always dictates how much money I will bring in. So come on Urbana. Step up and help me out in raising funds for the streetlights.

They are in danger of being shut off within the next years. I’m slowly running out of funds and if Duke keeps on raising the monthly bill, well the lights maybe shut off sooner than I would like to think.

If anyone would like to look at the books and the bills I have been keeping on the lights, feel free to call me.

Indiana Wesleyan University has renamed its premed program, which will now be known as the PreHealth Care Sciences (NonNursing) Program.

The new name reflects a more accurate description of all that the program offers to IWU students, including 12 unique concentration paths.

“The old name was somewhat of a misnomer in that in addition to preparing students for medical school entrance, our program prepares students for eleven other kinds of health care professions schools,” said Dr. Daniel Jones, professor of Biology at IWU. The 12 concentration paths within the Pre-Health Care Sciences Program include: Pre-athletic training Pre-chiropractic medicine Pre-dentistry Pre-medicine (DO, DPM, MD) Pre-occupational therapy Pre-optometry Pre-pharmacy Pre-physical therapy Pre-physician

assistant Pre-public health Pre-speech pathology/audiology Pre-veterinary medicine Concentrations, which can be combined with any major, are housed within the Health and Human Performance as well as the Natural Sciences Divisions.

While the program’s name may be new, the curriculum has remained committed to preparing students for their future. All students in the PreHealth Care Sciences Program take a common core of courses. In addition, they complete a set of specialized courses for their chosen concentration—reflecting the unique requirements of preparation for and practice of the corresponding profession.

Plus, each concentration has been verified to reflect the current pre-requisites outlined by each profession’s accrediting organization.

“IWU’s PreHealth Care Sciences Program ends the ‘one-sizefits-all’ approach to

health care professions school preparation,” said Jones.

“Students can choose a tailored concentration for their path. And, since these concentrations prepare students for related professions, there is some flexibility for students to change concentration as they modify their career goals during college.”

Alumni from the program have gone on to become successful doctors, dentists, pharmacists, occupational therapists, optometrists, veterinarians, speech pathologists, physician assistants, and more.

“IWU not only gave me the educational platform I needed to be successful in medical school but also connected me with mentors, research, community outreach, and volunteer opportunities that strengthened my dedication to serve underserved populations,” said Dr. Kayla Thomas, a 2017 IWU alum who is an internist and pediatrician at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Illinois.
