Elise gets the crown Gottschalk named 4-H Fair Queen By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Elise Gottschalk became the 60th Wabash County 4H Fair Queen on Wednesday night.

Braylen Fleck. “It was very unexpected,” Gottschalk told The Paper of Wabash County about winning the crown. “I tried my best today. But, it wasn’t something I was really expecting, so I was really excited to get the opportunity.” She said she had always wanted to participate in the queen pageant since first joining 4-H. “The crown got me when I was younger,” she said. And seeing the young children during this week’s fair is something she is looking forward to.

“I’m really excited to be that role model,” she said. Gottschalk received her crown from outgoing 2020 4H Fair Queen Alyssa McKillip. McKillip gave an emotional farewell address during the contest, thanking the members of her court and others who helped her throughout the year. She also said she has gotten to know the 17 contestants during their time in the contest. “It is sad, really, that only one can wear the crown,” she said. “But whomever walks away with the diamonds tonight is sure headed for the journey of a lifetime.” She reflected on almost having the crown fall off her head moments after receiving it last year. McKillip assured this year’s winner that she had enough bobby pins with her to keep the crown in place. “4-H became my passion for so many reasons,” she continued. “Throughout my reign, I sat through every livestock show at the fair. I handed out ribbons, congratulated exhibitors, captured hundreds of pictures with little kids and families, talked to members of the community and even explained Haylie Miller the difContinued on Page 14

Horse & Pony Show opens 4-H Fair
Rain on Friday morning couldn’t slow the Wabash County 4-H Horse & Pony Show from taking place. Exhibitors and their animals braved the wet and often muddy conditions to participate in the halter and showmanship classes in the first livestock competition of the 2021 fair. Grand and Reserve champions were named in four categories during the halter class – Mare, Pony Mare, Gelding and Pony Gelding. Amelia Sweet showed the Grand Champion Mare, I’m a Jazy Fly, while Allisyn Evans and Crush received Reserve Champion Mare honors. The Grand
Champion Pony Mare title went to Kinley Schuler and her horse, Gracie. Reserve Champion Pony Mare honors went to Khyla Wood and her horse, Puzzle. In the Gelding competition, Megan Snavely and Malachi won the Grand Champion Gelding title. Emme Hanes and Peppy’s Insignia received Reserve Champion Gelding honors. Johnathan Anderson and his horse, Wrangler, won Grand Champion Pony Mare honors, while Allie Pinkerton and Rats Rascal captured Reserve Champion Pony Mare honors.

tition, Amelia Sweet walked away with the title. She also received the Supreme Showmanship title and will compete Thursday in the Round Robin Showmanship competition. Intermediate Western Showmanship honors went to Megan
Snavely, and Hazel McCoart received the Junior Western Showmanship title. There were no entries in the English Showmanship classes. Following the halter classes, various performance competitions took place in the horse arena, ending with the Egg
Race. Of course, following Friday’s competition, the 4-Hers and some ring workers let off a little steam by having a good, old fashioned egg and mud ball fight. Action resumed Saturday afternoon with more performance classes.

decisions that you are making, and have made, with things coming up,” Darnell told the MCS Board.
“It’s been a tough year for everyone in education. Talking with the people I’ve been connected with

Zion Lutheran to celebrate 75th year
Zion Lutheran Church, 173 Hale Drive, will celebrate 75 years as a congregation on Sunday, Sept. 19, with special guest speaker the Rev. Dr. Daniel Brege, President of the Indiana District Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. A celebratory luncheon will follow the service. The first Lutheran church service in the city of Wabash was held on Sunday, Sept. 8, 1946, at 111 Falls Ave. in the former Jewish Temple. This building on the corner of Falls Avenue and West Sinclair Street was then owned by the First Spiritualist Church, and was rented by the Lutherans on a weekly basis. After services were begun in September 1946, the church began a rapid organization. After one month, a Sunday school was organized. By Sunday, Dec. 15, 1946, a Constitution had been drawn up.
Zion Lutheran Church was officially organized with 25 members on the Festival of Epiphany, Jan. 6, 1947, as a congregation of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. The sermon was preached by Dr. Oswald J. Hoffman, speaker of the Lutheran Hour. The first officers of the congregation were installed on Sunday, Jan. 19, 1947. They were: President – Otto Guhl; Secretary-Treasurer –
M. H. Koenig; Trustees – E. H. Ahlfeld, George Streng, and Arnold C. Gehle; Deacons and Elders – George Fishback, Carl Streng, and Carl Althoff; and Financial Secretary – James Craft. The Ladies Aid was organized on Feb. 11, 1947. On April 8 of the same year, the organization became affiliated with the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League. On Palm Sunday,
March 31, 1947, the first class of confirmands was received into membership in the congregation by the Rev. W. T. Vogel, who served the congregation from its beginning until the arrival of its first regular resident pastor. On Sunday, Aug. 3, 1947, Rev. E. O. Krug, a 1947 graduate of Concordia Seminary, Springfield, Ill., was installed as Zion’s first resident pastor. The Rev. W. T. Vogel,
who had been serving the congregation on a temporary basis, conducted the service, and the Rev. A. H. Gallmeier of Peru preached the sermon. On Nov. 10, a Men’s Club was organized at the home of Dorsey Coppock. The next day, the Walther League held its organizational youth meeting in the home of Alice Hileman. On Nov. 30, 1949, the building at the corner of Falls Continued on Page 7

Zion Lutheran Avenue and West Sinclair Street, which had been used by the congregation since its beginning, was purchased by Zion Lutheran Church. The purchase price was just a little more than $6,000, twothirds of which sum the members had contributed within a year’s time. The newspaper announcement of the purchase stated, “Although various other sites had been considered for the erection of a new church, the members of Zion unanimously decided in favor of this building because of its convenient location near the center of the city and its easy accessibility by bus.” (Emphasis added.) The site on which the church stands had originally been purchased by the old Christian Church, or New Light Church, in 1869. These people built the church and mounted a plaque on the building indicating that it was dedicated in 1870. In 1883 the Jewish Congregation, Rodef Sholem, bought the building and made it
into a Jewish Temple. They also turned the dedication plaque around and wrote 1884 on the back of it, which now became the front. For sixty years the building belonged to the Jewish people in Wabash. In 1943 the First Spiritualist Church bought the building and apparently used it as it was, not removing the Jewish altar and the two tablets of the Ten Commandments, one written in Hebrew and the other in English. The Lutherans purchased the church from the Spiritualists in 1949. A remembrance from charter member Marge Zolman, “When Zion was first started, we rented the church from the Spiritualists. We could only use the church on Sunday mornings. Some of the men went early to remove the large mirror and card table and chair from in front of the church, placing a small portable altar in their place. After church, we had to replace the mirror, card table and chair. … A group of
www.thepaperofwabash.com
...continued from Page 6 men went to Chicago to buy the church. (The head of the Spiritualist church lived there.) They told our men that they had had a wonderful party the night before. Said 4 movie stars entertained them.” After the Lutherans bought the building, they kept the altar, the pews, the chancel chairs, and they used the tablets that had contained the Ten Commandments as their hymn boards. Zion Lutheran Church bought the building with the intention of remodeling it. Step one of the remodeling program was taken with the dedication of new windows and lights on Jan. 20, 1951. These were donated by the Ladies Aid. Beginning April 22, 1951, services were temporarily held at 37 1/2 East Market Street during remodeling. Using only the four walls and roof of the original structure, the congregation completely remodeled the church from the construction of a full basement to the removal of the flat ceiling which
exposed hand-adzed beams supporting the roof. A new Series 50 Wurlitzer Organ was a pleasing addition to worship. Preserved for a keepsake was the old pipe organ bench kept from the time when the old water-driven organ was destroyed by fire. The altar was originally a gift from Trinity Lutheran Church of Indianapolis. It was remodeled and painted to blend with the
newly remodeled church. Two paintings on either side of the altar were gifts by a member of the congregation and were painted in oil on canvas by Elmer Stewart. They are “Christ at the Door” and “The Good Shepherd.” This remodeling was dedicated Sept. 30, 1951. In 1955, Zion Lutheran Church sponsored the first Sunrise Easter Continued on Page 17

Before retiring, however, Arden received the International and Indiana Distinguished Achievement Awards in both 2004 and 2005. He also received the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award through the Lions Club, where he was a 50-year member. On Feb. 24, 1940, Arden’s life changed forever when he married his soulmate and best friend, Mary Elizabeth Badskey. During their 77 years together, Arden and Mary traveled throughout Europe as Ambassadors of the United States for Education on Farming. The most important thing they did together, though, was worship their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and teach their children about the love and compassion He had for the world.

GOOD WORDS . . . A wage is a motivator for most. It is what wakes many up in the morning & to our jobs. Yet, over time, it can be a drudgery if only for wages. Yet, our work must matter for more! The Bible offers many wise sayings about work. Most impressive is the verse that reads, “Work willingly as unto the Lord…(God) will give you an inheritance.” (Colossians 3:23-24) Do your work as if it has eternal purpose. Your work matters! What are you good at? What brings you satisfaction & what is your passion? Rev. Rick E. Carder (RickeCarder.com)
Shellhamer, Colin Patton and Kaylee Nelson. The Gary Henderson Leadership Award was presented to Syndi Hernandez.
Longtime leader Kay Weikel was honored at the end of the show. This year, after more than 20 years serving the 4-H youth, is her last year as club leader.

MU TO BUILD TOWER FOR HISTORIC CHIMES: The iconic Manchester Chime, quiet since 2019, will sound again next fall to celebrate its 100th anniversary. Manchester University hired The Verdin Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, to take down and refurbish the existing 10 bells, create four addi-
tional bells, and build a new tower structure. Melanie Harmon, MU vice president for advancement, said the plan is to build an open bell tower in the middle of the Manchester University Mall. For 97 years, the Chime serenaded students on their way to 8 a.m. classes and sounded again at the dinner hour. It also rang out at Commencement, weddings, memorial services and special gatherings such as Homecoming and Alumni Days. It was silenced in 2019 when the Administration Building closed. In the early 1920s, alumni and friends raised $8,700 to purchase the original Chime, created by the McShane Bell Foundry of Baltimore, Md. On Aug. 11, 1922, men in white shirts and straw hats pushed the bells into place so that they could hoist the bells up to the tower using ropes and pulleys. Verdin is scheduled to remove the 10 bronze bells – which range in weight from 550 to 2,650 pounds – from the Administration Building tower Aug. 9-11 and then restore them. Current plans call for the new tower to be installed next spring or summer, Harmon said. She said the central location will make the Chime a visual centerpiece of the North
Manchester campus, allow for optimal acoustics and make the structure easily accessible for maintenance. No longer will Manchester’s Chime players – mostly students – traipse up staircases in the dead of winter to push hand levers in a drafty room directly below the massive bells. The new setup will feature an electronic keyboard that will be played inside nearby Winger Hall. The new Chime tower is likely to inspire some new Manchester traditions, Harmon said. CENTER FOR HISTORY FEATURES “LOCAL HEROES”: The North Manchester Center for History announces the opening of their newest exhibit, “Local Heroes”. This exhibit shares the stories of nearly two dozen men and women from our community who were willing to make the greatest sacrifice for our freedom. Dating back to the Civil War we have personal accounts of teachers, farmers, doctors, nurses – everyday people, that heard the call and left the safety of Wabash County to protect the people they loved. Numerous veterans of World War II are included in addition to Viet Nam and Desert Storm. There are a number of uniforms on display from World War I through Viet Nam in addition to other memorabilia. Created in conjunction with this exhibit, we have a collection of “Letters Home” taken from Continued on Page 17

Zion Lutheran Service at the 13-24 Drive-In Theater. Attendees numbered 524. The Rev. E. O. Krug spoke on the topic “Easter, Our Day of Gladness,” based on Psalm 118:24. Music was furnished by Zion Lutheran’s Male Chorus under the direction of Gene Ahlfeld and Treble Choir under the direction of Mrs. Severin Gunderson. The organist was Mrs. Joseph D. McCombs. Another addition to the building was dedicated on April 19, 1964. Originally, the project was under the supervision of members Floyd Erdahl, a local contractor, and Ruben Panning. Much of the labor
was done by volunteer workers, with most of the excavating and masonry done by subcontractors. Sadly, Mr. Erdahl died before completion of the project. The addition provided office and classroom space on the main floor, a large room on the second floor, divisible into three classrooms with folding partitions, and a full basement with another large room, also divisible into three classrooms. In 1971 another phase of remodeling was completed. Ten stained glass windows were designed and made by City Glass Specialty Co., Fort Wayne. Scenes in the life of Christ

Two statues of Christ made by Arnold Mahknech of Ortisei, Italy were installed in the chancel area. A 30-foot steeple was placed on the roof. In 1992 a generous bequest was received from the estate of member Willard Holmes, who died in February of 1991. This significant gift led to the formation of a Long-Range Planning Committee at Zion Lutheran Church. The committee’s charge was to determine what the direction of our future ministries might be in light of Mr. Holmes’ Spirit-led gift.
After much study and discussion, the Long-Range Planning Committee’s primary recommendation was that Zion develop a new facility on a larger site. This recommendation led to the eventual purchase of a 4.1-acre site on Hale Drive in Wabash. The Zion Lutheran Church Building Committee, chaired by Rich Wolfgang, was established in 1997 with direction from the congregation for design and construction of a new sanctuary. Mary Ellen Rudisel, associated with Scearce Rudisel Architects, Inc., was chosen as the architect. The new building is the result of a rigorous planning process

involving our architect and every organization and group in our congregation. Groundbreaking for the new site was held April 26, 1998. The construction of the church was directed by Laborers For Christ, a community of dedicated Christians who assist Lutheran ChurchMissouri Synod congregations and organizations with the process of construct-
ing their facilities while providing an opportunity for spiritual renewal within the congregation and a witness to the community. Architecturally, the sanctuary is of a contemporary design using a laminated beam as the supporting structure. The chancel area is situated so that one’s attention is always drawn to the altar and cross. The large cross sus-
pended above the altar, designed by Wolfgang and built by Bill “Bud” Wasson, is solid wood composed of three layers, oak, cherry, and walnut. The pews are arranged in a semicircular fashion to create a small, friendly atmosphere. The church at 173 Hale Drive was dedicated Sunday, Jan. 16, 2000

PASTOR MACE thoughts for this week: Older men are to teach and train the younger men. To teach and train calls for the older to set an example for the younger. One area to consider is that older men need to be sound in love. To be sound means to be healthy or established in this area of life so those who are younger can witness what true love is. We live in a society that fails in relationships because love is not practiced. Love is an action that brings about feelings. The apostle Paul says that love, “is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with
the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” So many people say they love or are in love but do not have these qualities. Love is doing that which is in the best interest of the other person. Love is sacrificial and giving and calls for humility and kindness. To love is to give without the thought of receiving. One must understand what God doesn’t love. “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” One must also know the hinderance to love. The apostle Paul also says, “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unap-
peasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” We live in a culture where people strive to love themselves which hinders the love for others. Scriptures teach to love God and others. The problem is people love themselves to the point there is no room to love anything else. Men older and younger need to learn to love their wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. God so loved us that He gave his only begotten son so that we may have eternal life. Men love their wives by giving what is in the best interest of their spouse.

Eat healthy at the fair www.thepaperofwabash.com
Fairs, carnivals, rodeos, and roving amusement parks are popular summer attractions. Rides and raffles may attract the majority of revelers, but fairs and carnivals also are great places to enjoy mouth-watering food. Fried dough, meats on sticks, pretzels, cotton candy, cheesesteaks, and other aromas waft through the air at carnivals. However, fairs have not always been so great for people watching their calories. And while fairs might not be diet-friendly, it’s not impossible to adhere to one’s diet while visiting the fair.
Fill up at home Prior to heading out to the fair, be sure to eat a filling, healthy breakfast. This will provide ample nutrients and decrease the likelihood that you will overindulge in less healthy fare while at the carnival. Foods that are comprised of protein and fiber can help you to feel fuller longer. Pack a snack that can provide a boost of energy prior to indulging in any fair foods. Trail mix or a low-calorie protein bar may be enough to tide you over until you leave the fair.
Stay hydrated The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says that mild dehydration produces similar symptoms to hunger. If you feel hungry after eating, your body may only need fluids and not food. Therfore, reach for
water or a hydrating sports drink (particularly when it is hot outside) as a first step to abating hunger symptoms, especially if you’ve recently eaten. Choose healthy food vendors Look for vendors that offer things like yogurt cups, roasted vegetables, lean meats, and fresh fruits. Kabobs that include lean meats that are low in calories can make a great carnival meal. Corn on the cob without gobs of butter also can be a filling snack. Smart dessert options include fruit smoothies, water ice, frozen yogurt, and even a candied apple, which may be rich in fiber. A small dose of cotton candy, which is just 100 calories per ounce, can offer a sweet fix while you avoid deep-fried concoctions. Keep in mind that cheese curds can set you back 650 calories and a funnel cake 720 calories, according to the YMCA. It can take several miles of traversing the fair to burn all those calories. Watch portion sizes If you splurge on a treat or two, consider sharing it with a friend or family member to cut the portion size. A single bite of a calorie-rich food can be enough to satisfy a craving. If you’re heading to a Renaissance Fair, giant turkey legs may be prime for the picking. Those legs, which may contain as many as 1,140 calories, are well beyond the typical poultry

Pay attention to beverages Before you fill up
on lemonade or visit the beer tent, remember some beverages contain lots of calories. Weigh your options carefully. If you want a cold beer, you may need to skip
